We are certainly set-up, given current global conditions which are horrid, if not terrifying. If we are not at a turning point in these four markets, then the world has surely entered something close to a Depression. That’s why I see this moment as very bifurcated. We either reflate now over the next 6 months, or we will endure another deflationary leg down globally in asset prices. The two possible outcomes therefore are nothing less than awesome.
