Or that you expect a downturn that will last more than 10 years. Check out how the 10 year T note has been performing against the 2 year. Markets are not optimistic about the long term.

There was that headline that half of all Americans are expecting a civil war. Or maybe it’s the on-going showdown with the CCP. Or Russia’s disqualification of itself as an energy supplier. Or maybe it is climate change?

Seriously, what’s driving these market trends, I don’t know.

Ray Dalio wrote a book theorizing about some of these possibilities. I haven't read it yet but this video summary of it is pretty interesting.
