So what if you think it's going to happen? What's the best investment - foreign stocks, bonds, US stocks, money market? (Basically I'm listing off the options in my 401k, sadly gold and a plasma TV are not options.)

My hubby is on the same wavelength as your friend. He did find a gold fund he could invest in with his self-directed 401K (its ticker symbol is GLD). He has been reading a book called "The Coming Economic Callapse: How you can Thrive When Oil is $200 a Barrel" by Stephen Leeb.
