    Supply chain disruptions

    Just curious who is seeing it and what are you doing to prepare for it?


    On a side note, what companies/stocks will do good in a supply disruption environment?


    I'm personally not worried about it other than if it gets to be hard to get gas at the pump.
    Things I'm doing:
    - buying a new deep freezer (was going to do that anyway after mine played out last year)
    - buying a dual fuel generator (was going to buy that anyway and was hoping those who rushed to buy one are selling them cheap on Craigslist)
    - buying Christmas gifts early


    Stocks that I'm looking at are online ones like Activision Bizzard. If presents become hard to buy in the store, I expect a lot of online game purchases. I haven't bought the stock yet but am watching closely.

    China is having serious difficulty supplying electricity to meet the demands of worldwide supply shortages. Some manufacturing plants can only run 3 days a week.

      I sell Christmas lights and you are about 6 months late in discussing this. I told my wife, if we are going to buy the kids presents it needs to be before Halloween because I am expecting a lot of empty shelves this holiday season.

      I think we are going to opt for a vacation instead

            We've been doing this for a dew years now. We treat the kids with something to DO other than something to break or leave strewn around the house in a hundred pieces.

              We are a couple of months ahead of y’all. All of our Christmas stuff except for stocking stuffers are all done. I just got finished building a lithium battery that can be used if power goes out for an indefinite period of time. Got enough solar to run an 8k btu window unit any time the sun is up. Got a 12 volt compressor fridge/freezer in the rv to keep perishables good. Got enough gas stored for the generator to run the entire RV for a week(including A/C). Got a 45 gallon fresh water tank that would last us for a couple of weeks worst case scenario.


              The only thing that I want to do is order 300 amp/hr worth of lithium batteries, a new pure sine wave power inverter, and to replace our small 3 cubic foot fridge/freezer with a 3 cubic foot upright freezer. But we could live without all of this, but it would make life easier should things get super bad.

                        luckily at Sams they are limiting to avoid hoarding. We go through quite abit of it at our venue and luckily had enough to carry through the last round......I'm still shocked at the lack of shotgun shells available, luckily was able to find some 20 ga locally for my friends son to bust some clays at my place though it was $13 a box

                          Ft. Worth one was out of 44 oz drink cups. Another place I was at the girls said other convenience stores were trying to buy cups from their store/gas station but hanging on to them.

                            I stocked up on 14/0 through 24/0 circle hooks and 600, 700, 800 pound monofilament. Should be good for a few years. I need to buy spools of 30 and 130# braid.

                              The Ennis and Madisonville ones were out of everything except 20 Oz cups, no lids at all.
