Wall Street Adviser Advises Americans To Be Prepared For Collapse With Guns & Ammo!

David John Marotta, a Wall Street expert, financial adviser and Forbes contributor, is actually advising Americans to be prepared for a financial apocalypse!  That should be a HUGE red flag right there!  He's now an American people adviser, and is advising you to have food, water, guns and ammo all ready to go.

This is far from any crazy zombie apocalypse!  Marotta's worries stem from Obamacare, the NSA spying scandal and the national debt spiraling out of control.  He recommends Americans to prepare a "bug-out bag" to stay alive.  These bags typically consist of food, water, and weapons.

I guess all us doomsday preppers aren't so crazy after all!  Well, maybe a little...

Either way, with a top financial adviser going public with this, you should at least consider taking some actions.

There are plenty of FEMA approved survival bags that you can buy for less than $40.  If spending $40 saves your family, wouldn't that be worth it?  I think so!  That's why I have one!

You can find them in many places, Amazon is probably your least expensive place...

As far as weapons go, to each their own.  Some folks just don't believe in owning guns, but most of us Texans do!

Even a small handgun will give you a huge advantage, and I am a firm supporter of the right to bear arms!  I have quite the guns and ammo stash myself =)

Washington Examiner:

A top financial advisor, worried that Obamacare, the NSA spying scandal and spiraling national debt is increasing the chances for a fiscal and social disaster, is recommending that Americans prepare a “bug-out bag” that includes food, a gun and ammo to help them stay alive.

David John Marotta, a Wall Street expert and financial advisor and Forbes contributor, said in a note to investors, “Firearms are the last item on the list, but they are on the list. There are some terrible people in this world. And you are safer when your trusted neighbors have firearms.”

His memo is part of a series addressing the potential for a “financial apocalypse.” His view, however, is that the problems plaguing the country won't result in armageddon. “There is the possibility of a precipitous decline, although a long and drawn out malaise is much more likely,” said the Charlottesville, Va.-based president of Marotta Wealth Management.

Marotta said that many clients fear an end-of-the-world scenario. He doesn’t agree with that outcome, but does with much of what has people worried.

“I, along with many other economists, agree with many of the concerns expressed in these dire warnings. The growing debt and deficit spending is a tax on those holding dollars. The devaluation in the U.S. dollar risks the dollar's status as the reserve currency of the world. Obamacare was the worst legislation in the past 75 years. Socialism is on the rise and the NSA really is abrogating vast portions of the Constitution. I don't disagree with their concerns,” he wrote.

In his latest note, he said that Americans should have a survival kit to take in case of a financial or natural disaster. It should be filled with items that will help them stay alive for the first 72-hours of a crisis, including firearms.

“A bug-out bag is a good idea depending on where you live even if the emergency is just power outages, earthquakes and hurricanes. And with your preparedness you will be equipped to help others who might be in need,” he wrote. “Be prepared. Especially because it keeps you from being scared.”
