I agree, Strato, that your complimentary comments are well-earned. There is some great investing advice on this forum and today's posts are a good example.

Aside from the actual trading techniques, the greatest problem I have is with market timing and I suppose that may be universal. I have had a timing problem for a while now that I have thrown out in posts and PMs but has not drawn a response. Maybe I have accompanied it with too much verbiage? Or something.

Anyway, I'd like to try again as it won't go away. I have accepted the fact that our fiat money system is going to fail, sooner or later. I thought, based on many commentaries that this was, if not a mainstream view, at least fairly widespread. For those that give this credence, when do you think it will happen?

I am overly-invested in NOT for my circumstances, but hanging on at these depressed prices for the expected bump up, not to sell out but to lighten up. I am expecting? or hoping? that I have a window of about two years before the axe falls. I'm basing this on the huge stimuli and CB manoeuvres which I feel will re-inflate the World economy for somewhere around that time span.

Am I trying to square the circle or chasing my tail? Anyone out there with comments on this issue that they would care to pass on ? All views pro and con totally welcome.

Best, O.F.
