Bill Fleckenstein continues:
“That same process is going on around the globe, ex a little foot-dragging in Europe.

At some point they will recognize we are not going to have a deflationary collapse, that we are not going to have a deflationary debt liquidation, which is really meant to say a dislocation to the downside.
