Maybe it was Fall 2007 that I posted a warning of a serious market problem. I cautioned about unloading all credit card debt and setting up for an economic downturn. In Fall 2007 it had become obvious that a downturn was inevitable. I could not say if it was immediate or due to happen in a few years. But I do remember posting that caution especially with having no outstanding balances on any credit card.

It still applies. What happens in equity markets adversely affects jobs and Main Street some years later. Again, no way to know how severe that downturn will be. But that downturn will occur and will not be on George Jr's watch.
