I just now read the article and interview and congratulate Rich, not only on his prescience but his leap into (correct) forecasting without formal training. It is a reminder that degrees often mean little, and one can be accomplished even if self-taught.
It was also good to walk down memory lane regarding the bubble and its aftermath. We need to remember who was right and who was wrong in past pronounciations and applaud and condemn accordingly. Too often journalists ignor the record of those they interview.
