Actually, he has predicted the order: deflation first.

Correct
Once we start the process.
99% chance of sustained deflation before hyperinflation.

I will not declare victory on the basis of several months or even a year of deflation unless it is a total immediate depression. I view that as possible but extremely unlikely. Way way less than 1%.

I will freely admit I was stupidly wrong on any outbreak of hyperinflation that lasts as much as a month. The odds of hyperinflation I also have as extremely remote.

I favor a long drawn out cycle much like what Japan went thru.
Nore that Japan had MANY false recoveries during the decline.
I expect the same. Of course we could just crash over the next 4 years and be done with it. I doubt it. A prolonged agony seems right. For it to be exactly like Japan is expecting too much. Thus it will be different but in ways I do not know.

Is that fair enough?
