I've realized in my life trying to predict macro is pretty damn hard. Because even if something is irrational, it might be in a whole bunch of very powerful group's interests to keep on propping up the irrational for a very long time. For example, I come from Vancouver. In Vancouver, the 2007 real estate bubble never stopped, wages stayed at their Reno, NV levels. Having Vancouver RE has had about a %30 annualized return for about 15 years. Now an average house is about 1.5-2 million dollars. The housing market is completely irrational, but knowing how it works it might be another 'boom' decade or it might all collapse on itself in the next few years.
