But if they know - or can predict - all of that now, why do they not try to turn the proverbial ship around? Instead of saying "the end is nigh", try to do something about it.
Snowball effect? Also if some are still making Gagillions of dollars a day why would they stop when they can still go for a year or two? Then there is also the thing that no two economists will agree 100%.... Now try getting everyone around the world to agree.
As long as the fat cats get shafted as well this time.
Nha they won't. It is like the one news paper saying that the one CEO lost +- 85% of his wealth when implosion of the markets 2 or 3 years ago.... but he still had $11.8 million left iirc.
So no they will have to sell the Veyron and buy a porche maybe but it will not really hurt them.
Buy gold. Simple as that. Works for me :]
Not such a bad idea if you believe the doom and gloom.
