Buckle Up

Global conflict, very likely, or an economic collapse are the only two options on the table.
Either way buckle up and pull those straps down one more time, make sure your ass is cinched down tight because we`re headed for the big one, all 43 will wreck.

The Jefferies-Reuters CRB index, a global commodities benchmark, lost 10 per cent, its largest monthly decline since it fell 10.5 per cent in March 1980, amid worries about lower economic growth damping demand for raw materials.
