Read the Friday Afternoon Wrap-Up for 5/24/2013 and the Tuesday Morning Commentary for 5/28/2013
In the final stages of history’s largest, most destructive bubbles, asset misallocation becomes rampant. However, NEVER before has the ENTIRE WORLD participated in a bubble simultaneously; per last week’s comments from Bill Holter…
“What we have here is a bubble. In fact we have a series of bubbles. The world is sitting on more bubbles, bigger bubbles than ever before. If you added together ALL of the bubbles (South Sea, Tulip, 1929, Japan 1980′s, Oil a couple of times, etc. …ALL of them prior) in the history of mankind, they would be a percentage, a VERY small percentage of the bubble(s) we have blown and are living with today.”
-From “Headed Toward a Brick Wall,” May 15 2013

…and the second in 2008; when the global real estate bubble collapsed…
…taking down ALL worldwide economies…
Here we are – “FIVE YEARS LATER”; and the ENTIRE WORLD is literally at its low point since –worsening each day…
