Over the last 22 years I’ve made 4 major forecasts; when to get into the stock market and when to leave; when to invest in real estate and when to get out.

The game of long-term financial planning has changed. There are many reasons for this change: the inevitable impact of our government's massive debts, the high likelihood that the stock market will continue its ten-year-plus underperformance for at least another decade or more, also that the economy will be weaker than normal for a long time to come, that the current historically low interest rates cannot be maintained, and that the dollar will unavoidably become much weaker at some point have all combined to change the game.
