Being of age and how to manage the sequence of returns in those early periods is what seems quite scary in the current market. The market is never a loser in a twenty year cycle, but the 2000s decade scenario scares me and could really disrupt my retirement. When you are no longer accumulating but withdrawing its hard to be anything but cautious.

Under these extremely uncertain, unpredictable, craziest of times, countries with the most comprehensive and efficient industrial and manufacturing bases will be doing just fine, even after factoring in all the chaotic and ridiculous commodity and energy prices. They will simply pass on the costs to consumers.

The biggest losers will be those countries largely base their economies on consumptions...

Watch out guys, China is the 2nd largest economy, set to challenge the USA soon, blah blah. If their light don’t go out because of natural market forces, imagine what a naval blockade would do. This chess match is already done.
