What I find interesting about this post is that you're not a guy who posts bullshit. This is something I would expect from a member who just signed on yesterday, but given that you know your way around, this is interesting. Care to elaborate on your rationale?
The US didn't close during 2008 when there were real risks that the financial system would fail.
I'm a bear as well, but I also think that the people with the most money will have the most at stake and they are in the best position to keep the game going longer. I certainly wouldn't hold anything from Friday close until Sunday open though! LOLI try not to post bs lol. I have also been a full on bear during the money printing experiment. Large structural changes are going on in the marketplace. The recent renminbi devalution was the starting gun. Only a huge QE4 + PBOC announcement will save equities from something nasty.
There it is. That is what I am predicting. I think there is going to be a huge rush to sell out of ANYTHING. I think markets will have to be closed to stem the flow.
