As I said, I think the only **surprise** involved is when ***THEY*** pull the trigger. **THEY** know exactly where they are pointing the gun and the exact result of pulling the trigger, they only have to make the decision of when it is most advantageous for **THEM** and disadvantageous for everybody else. After all, **THEY** are only doing it to consolidate all the wealth of the world in **THEIR** hands. Unfortunately, they are just not understanding that the wealth of the world comes from the efforts of the people in the world, not just the things and *persons*. People have the genius, not things and never AI.

The Money Supply Keeps Growing as the Fed Backs Off Monetary "Tightening"

Undisciplined

Agree but we don’t know exactly where the fiat perversions are going to create too much instability. Very few were predicting the housing crisis in 08. No one was predicting the short VIX trade blow up or the repo crisis or the Silicon Valley bank blow up. Of course we know more of these events will occur but it is often a surprise when and where they play out was my point.
