2)#EPIC2020, happened 4 times already, this week potential ? 2025 ?

(FED BS / US GDP was ~20% in 2011/12) (FED BS went from 0.5 Trillion to 2.25 Trillion)
2020 high 1930 taken out (back after 9 years)
FED BS / GDP ~35% (FED BS went to 3.5 Trillion to 7.3 Trillion)
Possibilities:
1)Gold can be at least $ 4000 - $ 5000 in time to come if same history playbook repeats.
2)Key difference from history is Interest rate is ZERO which is UNIQUE to today ? Impact of that on any financial asset / liability is anybody’s guess ?
3)Death of MMT? FOR SURE ! It’s a matter of when versus whether it will die now?
4)Is d abv sustainable? Yes, USA having $ as Reserve Curr, zero rate, largest economy & military, space, internet, technology, far ahead of RestofWorld, it is possible to repeat the history!
5)While trend in 2-3 years is upwards, rough and bumpy ride is guaranteed. Need stoned heart and frozen stomach to handle this Volatality - GOLD FLASHBACK 2005-2011
