Perhaps this is the beginning of the long-anticipated slowdown/turnaround. This is 100% untrue. The crash won't happen until after I send stuff to an auction house to sell.

I don’t see the “big meltdown” yet. I’m thinking “pullback/pause” consistent with a short recession or the corrective pricing in the stock market. For those who are overextended, good time to reduce risk. batman_fan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt there will be a recession myself, but there is now a pullback on new hiring, the Fed is kicking up interest rates, consumer confidence is down, and there are increased attempts by consumers to cut spending due to inflation pressures. Throw in the reduction in international grain due to the War, and a gap developing in European access to gas. So, yes, it is possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My disagreement was: On 6/26/2022 at 6:34 AM, Rick2you2 said: ...a short recession... I'm seeing nothing positive to come, only a continuing downward and deeper spiral* for at least a full decade - at a minimum. *recession/depression/stagflation heading toward hyperinflation in some/many sectors driven more by actual shortages than monetary policy; thus not curable by Central Bank policy/decisions.

I'm wondering if his fire will fizz as well. I can relate to this. I think there are two psychological explanations. The first is that people come in strong and when they realize they won't have the best of X OR the buying slows down/hardens OR there is a key piece they know they can't acquire they get frustrated and give up. This is fairly benign, all things considered. The second is that it is a form of mental illness. Or, a manifestation of some kind of mental illness. This involves intense passion and mania followed by a deep sinking depression spurred by feelings of self doubt and burden. The mania-burden cycle is fueled by "chasing" at any cost and overpaying. This leads to cycles, sometimes within the same conversation, of acquiring more and dumping it all.

I don't know anything about this except that, from my perspective as a collector, I've faced those scenarios and instead of shutting down have just opened up my parameters instead. When it comes to mental defect/disease, there's no amount of explaining normal or abnormal psychology that will make sense to the opposing force, it's non-sense by definition. That's just how it works. So your explanations are as good as any well-thought out but they do scare me a bit and I have empathy for those that are captive so such things, sounds very destructive to all involved.
