- rayuela 7y agoI would love to see you take this and short the SP500, really put your money where your mouth is. Value is relative, and relative to the rest of the world the US is going to fare quite well. So good luck to you!
- ls612 7y agoI think you are misunderstanding what he said. He's saying you have never gotten better off by betting against the United States in the long run, not that now is the time to bet against the United States.
- tradertef 7y agoI read the sentence two time to get what he was saying. Figured it out based on his first part of the sentence.
- 1-more 7y agoI feel gross looking at my 401k. Everything in there is a bet on the continuation of the world that led here, and that world is unjust in the extreme and needs to go. And right now I think we're on the razor's edge fo something wonderful happening. I know a few people participating in rent strikes here in NYC. Maybe this is the week where a decade happens.

- mancerayder 7y agoHow do we know this isn't a great flippening event? It will take the West years to recover - we haven't even started. East Asia is up and running. We only started forcing (politely) people to self isolate. That's right, in NYC there are still crowds, and cops aren't able to keep people apart. Polite communitarianism.
