I dont have the answers as to what the alternative is, I just know that I dont personally use any large bank such as B of A. I think buying some precious metals is a good idea, but more so just having food. At the very least it will give you a lower grocery bill for the next few months.

I think everyone is feeling a little uneasy about this. But what is the alternative? Turn 1 mill into gold and bury it in the woods somewhere? If a bank employee sells the information to some criminal the person's life can be in danger. They kill for far less than $1mill.

Harvard economist Terry Burnham is worried about the safety of his money that he formerly kept with Bank of America. His reasoning:
1. I receive zero dollars in interest on my $1,000,000
2. They may not be able to come up with all of it
3. The FDIC only has $41 billion in reserve against $6 trillion in insured deposits
An interesting article, with some tips on what to do with your cash. I've been seeing more and more respected economists come out talking about a very probable dollar crash, this being the most recent one.
