Metals fall before equities Not all the time but usually and recover before equities as I think their investors are more wary and knowledgeable. My opinion is that we will fall from here, equities will collapse as well into March 2024 when the feds little saving the banks and their underwater loans program expires. This loan buyback program will then be renewed and the fed will then open the spigots and start rate reductions. The dollar will then start its retreat and we have another fiat induced equity boom before busting again and again until it doesn't work anymore. I honestly think this will be the last major upcycle aka the great hurrah, mainly because of the election cycle (it will last past the November vote) and media / plunge team still maintain dollar effectiveness and control. However dedollarization will eventually minimize that effectiveness and control, with each following cycle smaller and smaller until we are broke. Our so called leaders have not shown any effort to fix things (diplomacy and negotiation) they and their self serving fraudulent actions will have to be replaced ( prolly by force) before any recovery can be made either globally or domestically. Leaders will emerge in times of hardship and wealth will be wiped out as we go thru bankruptcy. Again just my feel for it all.
