Channeling Stocks

[JLS]

Three to four years,

but it would need extra stimulus, and I don't know what that could be.

I posted that because it aligned exactly with a conclusion I made and posted several weeks (or a few months) back. I thought a period like that of the middle 90's could easily happen again.

It's a sort of a twist on "this time is different". We're not asking that anything be different. We are simply suggesting that history repeats.

Maybe the stimulus is that the largest world economies would like a little higher inflation as that would make it much cheaper to pay off old, long-term debt. Stock markets do well during inflationary periods. Then couple that with other countries coming out of their very long recessions (and depressions for a few).

Such a situation would also be a huge bear market for precious metals. How long was the last bear market for gold? Twenty years? I don't know, but it was a very long time.
