You might be right, John. This bubble is the biggest I've seen in my lifetime already. And the Fed has decided to blow it even bigger to get us through the next election. Trump is the canniest economic player I've seen in my lifetime, in his ability to keep the game going. He's extended this boom for a very long time beyond what I thought would happen. So maybe he can keep it going until he gets elected. If he does that, then we're talking about 2021 when the air finally starts coming out of the bubble. So your guess of 2022 and beyond is as good as any. Here's my dilemma. Normally, positioning yourself in short dated bonds is the bet when a recession is about to hit. But my short dated bonds have returned me 9% annualized since 2017 and the Fed continues to do "not-QE" at the rate of $250B in the last couple months, which has inflated bond prices even further. So now, I'm thinking bonds will NOT be the place to be when the everything bubble crashes and burns. So where do you go for safety then? Cash? Money Markets? Gold? I'm thinking about buying some gold over the next year and depositing it in the Texas Bullion Depository. What do you think?
