So, I'd say that as long as you stay as informed as possible, and NOT listen to the same old cast of characters that lied to everyone then, and continue doing so now, you should be o.k.
I am 100% convinced that things are such that we'll "require" one bubble after the next, and that that's what we'll see. Per the documentary, it's only a matter of which bubble(s) it will be.
However, listening to, but not following the advice of the folks in DC and Wall Street can actually give it away. Whichever topic or concern they downplay the most might be one to pay particular attention to. Stay liquid and don't be affraid to make early, conservative moves, even if that means leaving some money on the table. Because, you never know exactly when these things will happen.
Another likely option is that things get SO bad that a global "resetting" of debt might very well take place. The developed nations are stingy with debt relief to un/underdeveloped nations, but this will not be the case when the big boys realize there's no other way out for themselves.
Not sure how the latter would play out. Lots of talk amongst "conspiracy" folks about a new global currency, which would indeed serve a purpose in resetting debt. Kind of like wiping the slate clean, and if enough of the power players agree on that, it will happen IMHO. It seems this will be very very bumpy and politically difficult, however. But, it could be sold, as we've seen selling to a largely ignorant public is very easy to do.
Immediately, I'm a bit concerned with unemployment and the growing ranks of young males with too much time on their hands. I think an entire generation of young dudes is at risk of becoming emasculated with serious social ramifications to follow (alcohol/drug abuse, crime, illegitimacy rates etc.). It's sad that we're moving in so many wrong directions in our society. We're looking more third world than ever......
