2008-11 was a once in a 30 year event(GFC) and wont happen again any time soon again
With respect, do you read up on anything?
The GFC was a warm up for the main event. No large player has changed the way they invest and gamble. If anything, they have gotton worse because they know they will be bailed out. The FED has increased its balance sheet over 400%, latest data is showing the 2 biggest holders of US bonds behind the FED just dumped 2% each of their holdings and the FED stepped in and bought the lot! The US is directly monitizing debt. This does not bode well for the largest economy in the world. Not to mention all the unfunded liabilities across ALL sectors of government. Debt bubble, bond bubble, housing bubble and share bubble. Investors have been driven into shares seeking yield and losses are written on the wall
2014 will be the year it is clear, 2015-16 will be when it gets bad. Eg - depression
You talk about 30yr events, how about the 30yr bull market in bonds? Now there is a correction that is due!
All I see in gold and silver is noise, not a bear market. Buying of physical has never been stonger. CBs world over are buyers! If it is no longer money, why are they doing this? They understand what fiat is because they print it.
There are bad times ahead which ever way you look at it. Where the US goes, the world will follow!
