Evidence Quote

At the end of 2021, I I started with bonds and I'm like, government bonds, talking about the US here just specifically, it is it was laughably overvalued. You know, the 10-year the long long-term rates were 1%, short-term rates were still at zero. And anybody who had a brain knew that the money printing, the $7 trillion of money, was going to lead to a spike of inflation spike of significance.
