I’m with you.
It’s an alternate reality with eventual reality.
I’ve gone back and forth between a weak and strong US Dollar, but have become convinced that the US Dollar will be the best place in the end.
Hard assets, NOT GOLD, real estate, land and cash producing investments will be the next wave.
If you watch Kyle Bass, he said it best, when he said Govt’s will never tell you things are bad.
The question remains, what will be the trigger?
You got that right. It's not a question of if, but now when. I am torn between two scenarios. One will be a military conflict bringing in numerous countries into a fray. (Maybe NK or Iran?) Wars historically bolster economies, but with the debt load now, I am worried that a panic will be the response. The second, and more likely trigger will be a large nation defaulting on debt, and fully collapsing. Then...the dominoes start falling after realizing Germany or China doesn't have the captial to stop it. Best guesses, are Italy (after last week), Spain, and Greece.
