The downside to all the people who locked in sub 3% mortgages is that are effectively trapped labor. I'd rather be a renter with flexibility and mobility, able to move rapidly in a quickly changing labor market, than stuck in my $700k home with a 3% mortgage.

It's quite simple: Gold has been suppressed for decades to allow for cheap energy and global growth. Gold suppression is ending as cheap energy is now over. The artificial offer on gold is lifting.

In 2018 China knew there was a problem, but did not know the extent of it, and hid their response from the world. Since it's seasonal, it mutated and resurfaced in May 2019 & sent PLA into emergency response mode. Too late however as it already was in Japan, Taiwan, Korea, etc.

Corn is currently trading at $4.22. Given a 40% expansion of the M2 money supply, this is equivalent to $3.01 in US dollars before COVID. Corn bottomed at $3.01 last cycle meaning any lower prices from here will be an all-time record inflation-adjusted low.

Wheat is the cheapest asset on Earth. Using artificial intelligence I have calculated the approximate gold / wheat ratio in ancient Rome. One gold aureus (~$677.20 gold coin) could buy 12 modii (barrels) of wheat. Today, that same gold coin can buy about 351 modii of wheat

Going forward over the next 10-20 years, your home equity will be flat or down on a real basis, and there likely won't be much liquidity if you need to sell. If you rent, you cashflow 4% at best. I'll take treasury bills at 4% with the optionality and extra liquidity ✌️
