Just have a look at Peter Thiel's second half of 2008. Sounds like you got caught in the same storm. There was nowhere to hide except cash. Crazy. Thanks for sharing! You and millions of others.

Investors are going to begin discounting rate increases sooner or later....

This whole thing is being held together by duct tape and bailing wire. It's like a bicycle tire with a hole in it...the Fed keeps trying to pump it up but the air keeps draining. For a short time, the air coming in makes it look like the tire is inflated, but as soon as the pumping stops, the truth will come out. Money printing and government hand-outs can't stop this deleveraging train. when the macro economy unravels, there will be talk of bank bailouts, round 2, but I predict an overwhelming public backlash. the democrats are already on track for a rude awakening during midterm elections, and obama has spent all his political capital protecting wall street. when the final wash-out comes, i think the Fed will be left twisitng in the wind, powerless to stop it. hopefully, the public will wake up and say no more to bailouts, money printing, deficits, dollar devaluation, and central bank mismanagement of the economy. In order to avoid the same fate as Japan, we need to step back and let the system self-correct without Washington trying to change the outcome and making it worse. it will be painful and hard, but it's the only way back to prosperity.
