Hey Boomer,
Forget the Beanie babies and Pez dispensers. Try calculators, instead. after teaching college for over thirty-six years I can tell you that calculators will be in great demand if there is a major collapse. Nobody can do simple arithmetic anymore.
By the way a good tool for analyzing a dividend stock is to divide the dividend per share by the earnings per share. If the result is greater that 100% do not purchase the stock it means the company is cannibalizing itself to continue to look good to its shareholders. Some companies like utilities will have high percentages, say 75% or more but that's just because they normally pay high dividends.
