Name something that you are convinced will occur in the next 5 years anywhere in the global economy, that if you told people it today most would think you were crazy.
Let's also set the rule that you must post your own prediction before you are allowed to respond to or attack somebody else's prediction.
I have several, but one is that within the next 5 years it will only take 2 ounces of gold to buy the Dow Jones Industrial Average. As of last weekend it took 7.5 ounces (Dow 12,164 and gold 1,626). Currently it is around 6.9 (11,383 vs 1646). That means that gold could stay at 1646, and the Dow drop to 3,292 (71% drop from here). Or the Dow stays at 11,383 and gold has to rise 250% to $5,691. Or if the Dow could nearly double to 20,000 and gold would be at 10,000. I feel that conventional wisdom is saying that gold has already gone up for 10 years and stocks have gone nowhere for 10 years so it is bound to reverse before too long. I disagree.
