"Plan now for “a breakdown of the civilized infrastructure” warns hedge fund guru Barton Biggs in his best-seller “Wealth, War and Wisdom”: “Your safe haven must be self-sufficient and capable of growing some kind of food … It should be well-stocked with seed, fertilizer, canned food, wine, medicine, clothes, etc. Think Swiss Family Robinson.”

Also think about apocalyptic films like “Mad Max” and “The Day After Tomorrow.” Stock an arsenal of guns and ammo: “A few rounds over the approaching brigands heads would probably be a compelling persuader that there are easier farms to pillage.” Yes, that’s how the “Final Days of Earth” look to the world’s leading Doomsday Capitalist."
