I agree with your conclusion. It would be nice if the crash was a decade away, but I think it will happen sooner. All it takes is one domino to fall.

Although I can't give investment advice, I think a likely scenario is that the stock market bubble finally pops. This will lead to many financial losses for people in and out of the market. Real estate will fall again. It will get bad and there will be a period of deflation as people start saving anything they get because they'll be scared by the scarcity. Then when the government injects a bunch of newly printed currency into the system, people will start spending and then we'll go into the hyper-inflationary period.

I think the Federal Reserve bank needs to be careful with their raising of the interest rate, or they could trigger that collapse within the next 6 months. We've already seen the market teetering, and it wouldn't take much to tip it over. That's just my take. I do agree that silver and gold are going to be better stores of value though. Crypto could be a good place too, although I'd personally put more confidence in tangible money than crypto currency.
