Alasdair’s lens on the world is valuable as a stress-test of mainstream optimism, but it is obviously not a complete map of the terrain. He is very good at spotting the structural fragilities that can build inside a highly-leveraged, fiat-money system, but his forecasts routinely compress the timing and magnitude of the dangers. It makes his narrative often sound darker—and arriving sooner—than reality. So I think the narrative is realistic about the mechanics of credit and money, but narrow in the way he weights other stabilising forces.

Although I agree about the timing, I wouldn't characterize other market forces as "stabilizing".

I would add, Where is..the 400 Tons of UK gold, sold at 255$oz, WHO bought it..? Why the secrecy ?

Where is gaddifi´s/Libya´s gold ?

Where is Venuzuela´s gold. ?

Where is Argentina´s gold, that Miliae sent to London to "earn" an interest rate ?

I could add King solomon and the Knights templars gold, but you get the picture...))

Keep up the good work.

Mike
