The human race is iterating a perfectly destructive chaos model following behavioral and cognitive collapse and I think 2020 will be the iteration where the model becomes obviously visible (once it is visible only a series of cataclysms can divert it from becoming an extinction level event).
I think we have already witnessed our last functional general election. I think we will witness states progress towards secession as they nullify votes for Trump and the entire election will live in the courts for years. I think the massively inflated heavily manipulated financial markets will be "corrected" just enough to force negative interest rates and this will trigger a massive wave of unintended negative consequences that are far reaching. Zero Interest rate policy and quantitative easing has already destroyed more intrinsic societal value than we can imagine so taking it to the next level should lead to a job wipe-out as the corporations realize they can simply live off of endless central bank welfare/food stamps with no need to produce or employ again. Housing will continue to skyrocket because there is no competitive free market when slumlord corps now get paid to take out massive loans that no longer need to be serviced.
I would be liquid by late August at the absolute latest. The deep state will destroy the markets to stop Trump if they can, but they will need at least 2 months of chumming to make it happen. This is why he is pushing hard for cuts right now ensuring negative rates because it's the only strategy left without blatantly triggering the collapse. Maybe its enough to thwart them and kick the can down the road, but I won't bet on it. Negative rates are akin to giving heroin addicts enough heroin to finally OD rather than letting them die from withdrawal. When the OD comes it will bring the world to it's knees because there is so little intrinsic value left. I mean we lost price discovery 7 years ago and the indexes are up nearly 30% for 2019 .... so it is a runaway train that has run so long that the majority of jobs are dependent on the nonstop inflation keeping them afloat. Nothing of measurable value is left to backstop them.

The economy is the number one issue I'm concerned about. Timing an escape from the markets is going to be key.
