Good point Pop. I happened to be right on the crisis of 2007-2009, but I didn’t make any money on my prediction. Mind you, I didn’t lose any money in the downturn either, so that’s OK by me. I guess it’s possible to predict a bubble, but much harder to know when it will pop and how and when various markets will react.

My main points at BJ are that 1) We are in a period of elevated uncertainty with lots of imbalances in our economy. 2) Reducing risk in your personal finances and your portfolio according to your time horizon are a prudent course of action until we see how these imbalances correct themselves.

Thanks for visiting!
