Veteran economist David Rosenberg delivers a sobering diagnosis of market euphoria, warning of parabolic excess and a looming reality check. Rosenberg frames the frenzied energy at the Vancouver conference as a dangerous sign, noting it feels like “a tech conference back in 1999.” He points to silver’s wild surge and gold’s relentless climb past his own targets as signals of an overheated market, stating, “When anything goes up, vertical, completely vertical, like asymptotically north, you got to be wondering what’s going on… These are not normal moves.” He also argues that the era of easy gains is facing a sharp correction, drawing a stark lesson from history: “Successful investing… is you play the middle 60% of the cycle. You don’t try and time the lows or the peaks… I’ve never met anybody that can do it.” Watch the video to hear his perspective on the U.S. dollar, the S&P, and the outlook for the metals market.
