I could divert funds to a solar PV system, install a well, and dice up an acre of the lawn, cultivate and plant with food crops, but I don't. Is it an innate desire to be optimistic? An unwillingness to accept the possibility of a dire future?
dueller, right on. Buffett was railing on about financial weapons of mass destruction. That pig went even deeper into Wells Fargo when the market cratered, banking on the bailouts. Now, we have even greater concentration amongst financial institutions. Derivatives are still alive and will rise again. WB sold out to make a buck. Buffett cares not what I think, but he lost a good measure of my respect.

Man, are you inside my head?
BTW - I have friends in and around So Cal - successful guys, who have purchased property as you describe. 1 w/ 5 acres, well, solar. Another w/ 10 acres east of SD.
