There was another guy who is usually very accurate with his predictions, about five years ago discussing his prediction for a crash not coming to pass and his response, in a quick paraphrase, was this:
“I had no idea just how far down the road they could keep kicking the can.”
My take: When it finally DOES happen, it will be epic.
These guys are all correct, they’re just off on their timing. And that is a difficult one to call. It’s only when no human intervention will matter that reality will hit us all, whether we like it or not.
That was me a few years ago. I believe now though, that the Fed's road has led to a cul de sac. I like a recent gold bug statement that 90% of the increase in Precious Metals will come in the last 10% of the collapse. (Reminds me of Retail's 80/20 rule.)
IMO, most of the sheeple will not wake up until it is too late and then stampede in PMs at mind-boggling premiums.
