Time and date may not be predictable, but the simple math behind the modern monetary system of central banks is quite clear. Print or die. Inflation or recession. When the F.R.B. of the USA stops printing the market crashes. You can watch it happen if you are watching what they do. Since they are now wholly locked in a corner they only have the two options. Inflation or depression. Soon they will purchase stocks outright. We may not actually see a 2008 type scenario, but I'm not going to bet my house, car, and business on it. If we all saved and did not borrow, they could not print.
- citrablue 7y agoIf time and date are unpredictable, what's the use? Suppose you switch to conservative investments now -- say, bonds. You're going to be hit less hard by the recession, but you also will have missed out on gains. So, unless you believe you can time the market, it doesn't appear like there is much to do except to make sure you have a rainy day fund. All my other money goes into the system.

It is harder to grow great wealth, but that is phony wealth at the moment or soon enough. If everyone invested in themselves, demanded a stable gold or gold backed currency, and eschewed the bubble gains in the markets, the gains would not be there and the manipulation would not be possible. That would reflect the reality of our current situation. Times will get tougher the longer we wait to see reality.
