When a 90-year cycle meets a 40-year downturn, what we can expect is the greatest bubble in history, followed by an adjustment that’s literally decades in the making.
Bubbles will always burst, and they will always end badly for anyone caught in the financial aftermath.
We’re about to see a big adjustment in our economy unfold right in front of our eyes, but most people are not only blind to it - but also aren’t preparing for it at all.
If you study history, you’ll always understand what’s about to happen next, and if you look at the wealthy, you’ll know what you need to be doing right now.
What are bright red signs that we’re headed for a huge downturn? How can we prepare for what’s coming? Why should we stop expecting a soft landing?
In this episode, I’m joined by world-renowned financial author and editor, Harry Dent. We talk about why the bubble we’re in right now is a cause for concern, and how to gear up for the huge deflationary period that’s coming.
Three Things You’ll Learn In This Episode
The root of the crisis we’re headed for
Instead of lowering interest rates and using stimulus to get the
economy going, the US is printing money to offset the downturn.
We’re printing as much money in 8 months as we usually print in 6
years, and that won’t come without some steep and painful
consequences, culminating in a deflation crisis.
Why certain institutions survive huge market
downturns
The big mutually owned insurance companies are the tried and true
tested institutions that make it through downturns and come out
stronger on the other side. They have the money, liquidity, and
ability to buy the highest value assets, which positions them for
the future.
What the Gamestop situation tells us about the
economy
The Gamestop short sell situation we saw in January is another sign
that we’re headed for a correction. When you’ve got too much
liquidity in the stock market, and a war between retail investors
and hedge funds, that’s a sure sign that we’re in a bubble, and
bubbles always burst.
