Toilet paper! Yes! There is something to invest in.

Remember (if old enough) back in the 1970s when Johnny Carson made a joke about there being a shortage of TP? The next day people ripped the stores clean of toilet paper.

HappyTexan, when all heck breaks loss, you come by my place and I'll give you, free, a six-pack of toilet paper (I plan to purchase 1 million square feet of it).

The current trend though is shorting the dollar, not going long.

A few days ago my hubby comes out of the bathroom with a roll of toilet paper in his hand.

He swears they have made the cardboard center larger to cheat him....

I did not really look...I just agreed.
