    Zitron has been talking about this for some months now. The numbers fluctuate, I think $6T is the highest I've seen but low-end is about $1T that doesn't exist today.

    His latest newsletter (from today) also talks about this: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.wheresyoured.at&#x2F;dead-money&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.wheresyoured.at&#x2F;dead-money&#x2F;

      Knowing that Zitron wrote about this makes me think that 6T will actually be reached, given Zitron&#x27;s abysmal track record.

        He has a better track record than you do, so I wouldn&#x27;t throw shade.

          No he doesnt? Pretty much every one of his posts has inaccuracies and his predications have all been crap danluu.com&#x2F;zitron&#x2F;
