Is doomsday upon us?

[Roadmap2Retire]

I agree with Kerim's point that nobody knows what going to happen and its one person's guess against another's. But all the points mentioned in the article are valid problems existing in the world today - its not a potential problem...its a problem now. True, that the macro economic trends cannot be controlled by anyone - even someone as big as The Fed. Try as much as they can by unleashing multiple QEs, hoping to stoke inflation -- things like China devaluing its currency is beyond the Fed's control and in a weird way, even China's hands are tied trying to save its own bacon.

Best we can do as retail investors is to stay conservative, hedge some of your bets and hold some cash waiting for upcoming opportunities.
