Re false economyTy Tootal and Ashram .Everybody is entitled to their opinion but in the end someone is wrong and someone is right.They have proven now with decades of fed manipulation that you can't fight the fed and with covid money giveaway added to it even pandemics are no match for the manipulation. This doesn't mean the economy or stock market is healthy and if you were to approach it like a doctor, the meds( manipulation)are only a cure if they are used for intervention and prescribed only for illnesses that need intervention after being allowed to run their natural course.If the meds are continuously applied ,the addiction becomes the disease and the symptoms of the addiction hide the disease itself. If the acceptance of outrageous P/E ratios,and continued speculation even during pandemics dont prove this common sense principal, then I know what eventually will ,and its the coming of a 40% drop in valuations of most stocks .For people smart enough to know meds have to be precribed in a responsible manner they have saved their meds (gold) for when they will be needed.As far as the time frame goes before the real cure happens is anyones guess but one internal or geopolitcal event could start the process before the actual false economy jig starts to show its head.The excess money and the caused inflation still have to be burnt through the system and the lack of products due to supply chain caused by pandemic is delaying that burn through . Remember gold stocks like BTO may crash along with the rest due to derivitive contracts ,margin calls,etc,and overall fear of everything on the deck but when the paper chase reaches the bottom of the pile those left standing will pile into gold like you have never seen
