No disrepect, but it's been the same forecast since 1987.
Great theories, not so great on the timing.
Be aware, but don't swallow it whole.

This Depression is increasingly being compared to the economic downturn of 1929, yet we haven't seen any obvious capitulation in the FTSE or Dow, so far.

Perhaps it really is different this time.

so just the same as 1929 then, we're only 18 months in, it took years for the DOW to reach a bottom in the 30#s with many dead cat bounces in between, just like it will take years this time aswell

1929-32 Bear Market lasted over 1000 days.

So far Markets have declined over 600 days.

So a further 400 days seems plausible.
