Even if you know the timing of the collapse of a cataclysmic bubble what do you do?

All of the investable assets will collapse at the same time. Inflation will evaporate cash. Bonds will worth nothing (if the us gov bothers to repay them).

Fourth law of thermodynamics: liquidity will be provided by the central bank.

You need to know with ridiculous precision, though. And the triggering event for the collapse usually isn’t predictable. For instance, if we’re seeing the beginning of the end now, we’ll, no-one could have really predicted the current sequence of events, unless they knew about Huang’s misconduct _and_ when it would be leaked.
