Real Diversification of Assets
 
Cryptogon has posted a great article about real diversification of assets, from Solari.

. . . suddenly, we find that we may not be able to trust these centralized systems. Suddenly, traditional portfolio theory no longer addresses our anxiety. This is because we need to shift from diversification within a centralized system to real diversification in a decentralized, possibly “out of control” world.

If you study the investment patterns of families and wealth that has survived through the generations, including through periods of lawlessness and warfare, you come to understand that for those who want to thrive in all economic and political scenarios, diversification has had a far deeper meaning than what is commonly understood in the financial markets today. For the astute strategist, it means not putting all your eggs in one basket in every important aspect of your life. Given what is happening in our world and economy, it’s time to revisit the deeper meaning of diversification.

Diversification means that our assets are invested such that an economic, political, or natural event — particularly a catastrophic event — cannot wipe us out.

The only way you survive those two is if you got the ear of the current or soon to be new power monger.

If there is a "insiders club pass" please direct me to where I can pick mines up.

Ha! That's actually one of the reasons why I sometimes suggest here that people might want to join TPTB instead of bitching about them all day long.

You're right: the best place to be diversified into is TPTB. While the article suggests that the most evolutionary successful of our species will be diversified all over the place (financial sectors, multi-continent land holdings, various skills capabilities, etc) - I'd like to add that marrying above your station, cultivating good looks and charm and wit, and networking with TPTB (through country clubs, attending elite colleges / graduate programs, joining local political machines, etc) will strengthen the chances of your survival and may even lead to your success and profit!
