    Yeah, but for most of us that's largely a personal choice. I was more referring to the fact that we get to experience events that have never occured before in modern history.

    I am not sure if the markets will drop a further 40% to beat the 2008 crash.

    that was 12 years ago lol.

    I'm not sure either, but I believe the next global crisis has the potential to be a monetary reset event. I think it's inevitable (given enough time) and is actually built into the design and nature of the fiat monetary system. 49 years of REAL inflation takes its toll on a debt based system. It's not the hyperinflation that causes currencies to fail, it's the loss of faith by the people. I think we're beginning to see the erosion of faith of currencies around the world right now and a crisis could by the tipping point this time to bring the whole financial system to its knees. I'm not saying it will, I'm just saying there's enough of a possibility that I choose to pay attention.

    Looking back on everything that's unfolding, we are living in a time that will always be remembered in history. A time of significance. A great time to be alive.

    The only thing that I will remember from this year will be "The Great Australian Bog Roll Mania". Nothing else mattered, it was toilet paper no matter what. All shelves emptied, toilet paper rationing, Prime Minister intervention.

    It goes down with the biggest events I've lived through, 1969 moon landings, 1970's oil crisis, 1987 stock market crash, 1991 recession, 1997-8 Asian financial crisis, 2000 dotcom crash, 2001 Twin Towers Attack, GFC 2008 - 2009 and 2020 "The Great Australian Bog Roll Mania".

    I would not be surprised if the fed cut rates by 0.75% because the 0.5% emergency cut did nothing at all.

    They are not dropping rates to stimulate growth, they do it to support the bond market. And in that light it did a lot.

    I think that if they drop rates it will be to help the corporates meet debt repayment because without current cash-flow they could go under.

    100% for AAA to BBB

    For any that drop from BBB to junk ie small or mid cap oil drillers... will go caput as no one will refinance them.

    But for A grade bonds like Apple, Boeing etc it will be money for Jam
