The end is near - John Robino & Gordon T Long

[Adeptus]

The definition of "near" is of course vague, 1 more year? 2 or 3? I like this interview as it showcases some of the same peak signals that tend to happen prior to a major economical crash.

I wish EJ would write another article or at least chime in, with what's up with this website. Is there no new article because its now too difficult to predict things? EJ too busy with some other business? Something else?

I believe he's gone virtual.

What do you mean? Isn't this website "virtual"?

Adeptus, EJ seems to take on lots of tasks. It's looks exhausting from my POV, but I think the one Mr. Don is referring to is the VirZoom virtual reality venture. Check this out for context:

On the macro side, the story boils down to if the Fed is winging it, how the heck can he forecast it. Apologies for the oversimplification, but EJ has made more than a few posts of late re. forecasts and such. Maybe someone has a link?

It's probably fair to say that this won't end well. But when it will end seems a total crap shoot. Makes forecasting the oil price look easy.

Ah ok, gotcha. With Linkedin and Twitter stock price mini-crashes recently, I have to wonder whether jumping in on some new bleeding edge tech venture makes good timing sense, although obviously he jumped in before these events. Possibly everything recovers so long as the global Feds keep ZIRP+printing+currency swaps merrigo-round.
Agreed on the relative unpredictability of the Fed(s). It seems like they have managed to keep the illusion that everything is ok, until they finally lose control.
