I do not know how Armstrong does his forecasting. I do not understand the process. I just agree w/ his guidance based on my view of happenings. DollarDown (DD) is both necessary as well as inevitable, another happy coincidence for the greater good. For folks waiting for USD interest rate to rise in real terms, wait on, and on, and on. In my view emerging markets as an aggregate should boom as wealth gets distributed in alignment with relative merits, dying anguish and birthing cries, etc etc ... the issue of course be real purchasing value growth, wherever better or best, be where we need to be. I have a rather and actually very favorable impression of S Africa, but note the place needs catalyst to get the boom going. I do not know if such a boom would happen because as with many basket cases, the conditions look daunting. Some of the basket cases should be soooooooo booming if managed correctly. BTW we travelled I believe safely from Cape Town siliconinvestor.com Amsterdam Message 32852781 to Vancouver Message 32853863 14-days shall tell better, after our airBnB home quarantine, an apartment In building managed by a good hotel owned by a Korean couple who makes a living by being super host, figuratively and literally. My daughter and I had stayed here before several years ago. Easy access to shops, park, Outdoor theatre and indoor cinema, and plenty of eating establishments. Am hoping we do not get ‘stuck’ here as we were in Cape Town, as we should be either getting back home to HK or making new home wherever we are stuck, but between Vancouver and Cape Town, Cape Town is in enough ways superior, especially in the life style aspects, at ~1/4 the all-in cost of Vancouver, or ~1/12-1/20 of HK. Crazy, and all without taking into the additional tax loading of Canada. Hong Kong? HK is part of emerging market even as it itself is not exactly undeveloped.
