I find it illuminating to read articles from years ago about the coming crash of 2012, 2013 etc all chock full of charts about p/e ratios, overvalued markets, quantitative easing, out of control budget deficits, the dollar no longer being used as the worlds reserve currency, the Chinese bond vigilantes, etc etc all leading to a clear case of an imminent crash, no later than the spring or summer of 2014, with martial law possibly following.
