    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.

        Zitron is the Greta of tech.

            Obviously means greta and this guy are negative indicators. They are so wrong you can do the opposite of what they tell you and profit reliably.
