Well he was wrong about gas, we're seeing $2.40 here in San Antonio, and I hear the price is dropping elsewhere. He couldn't predict that when
demand goes down price goes down?
This isn't necessarily comforting. Such a quick decrease in demand that isn't driven by consumer decision but by consumer default is far more scary
than anything the DOW 30 can show you. This show's the beginning of something far more horrific; deflation.
Forget the DOW, people put so much emphasis on the DOW, when the DOW is predominantly banking in the first place. Seriously, how many of you cared
about the DOW and it's components a year ago? I would venture to say relatively few.
You want to worry about something, DO worry about deflation, that is what will kill us, not flatlining of the DOW.
While this guy in the videos is probably right on about what he is saying, sincerely there have been many others also who have not only been saying it
for months, but for
years. In fact, a good friend of Bill Fleckenstein who is a money column writer for MSN has an acquaintance from Australia.
His name is Das, he has been foretelling of this for years. Das is probably one of the fore most authorities on the Derivative markets in the world,
he has said time and time again that it all can't last; maybe people should have listened when it could have made a difference.
Also many writers in China and Japan have been saying this for at least 4 to 5 years now, I guess no one listened to them either, or turned a blind
eye. At any rate, we, to a very large degree, deserve what's happening now, and like Rockpuck said, what could be a very dark time.
Don't discount the guy in this video though, simply because he isn't a clone of Paulson and Kashkari though...he definitely has quite a bit of
merit.
