Quietly and calmly go to your nearest bank or credit union and pull some extra cash out. The banking system took a huge hit today and it took a $1 Trillion injection of cash in order to shore it up. It kept markets running, but didn’t help investor confidence. Another big hit, and markets can panic even worse, making these injections useless. Banks may have short-term liquidity problems, meaning that they won’t have enough cash on hand in an event that people start running to their banks to pull out cash. At that point, even ATM card readers may be unable to process transactions in some instances, and CASH WILL BE KING , especially when you need it for food, water or an emergency.
