I agree with everything in the post, but....

This is it! The autumn of 2018 will be momentous in the world economy, markets and politics.

While historically speaking, autumn tends to be the time of financial crisis, these forecast have been given since 2009 (and all equally valid, btw - we have been living a fake reality for a decade)...

But why specifically this year, not next...? (I'm not disagreeing, just asking - I've been expecting it every year for a decade...)
