This is charade of epic proportions and it's only going to get worse. Because of a trade war that we are in - be prepared to start paying more for everything. To be prepared for small businesses to get some type of a bailout or get squashed by the corporations again. Consumer debt is touching new record high week after week.
Deficits are getting larger, debts getting larger, so we the people are on the losing end of this entire thing. And it's always the same story. Doesn't matter who leads the country.
We need to stop being divided. Don't let the media play with our heads. Ignore it. It's all a show, it's distracting people's focus on the things that are not important.
Look at what's really going on. In your economy. Forget about the fake numbers. The unemployment numbers in most western countries look like a labour force participation rate. You really think that's real data? Instead, look at the money velocity - the rate at which cash is moving through your economy. If it's very low, it means it's not moving - which means you're not collecting enough taxes, which means your Treasury has to start selling more debt, just that you can finance where your country IS.
World is not in any kind of a boom at all. Credit cards are getting maxed out higher and higher and higher... with all the new debt that's being piled on this, is inflating the stock market because there's nowhere else to go. You cannot be in a bond. If you're in a bond right now and you're holding it for 10 years or so (with the actual rate of inflation) you're losing cash. If you have your money in a savings account, you're losing cash. Your precious metals - they're murdering them right now you can't be in there. Crypto currencies - anytime they catch a bit they slaughter those as well. The only place to go is in the stock market, that's inflating a bubble.
When this market dictates fair value, it's going to be a freefall.
I find your statements very interesting. For example, at the end you say: "The only place to go is in the stock market". Can you share more insight on way it seems to be the only option for you? Also, can you elaborate on why joining a bubble is good strategy currently?
If you trade daily (I guess you are not), you would know what I'm talking about. Most stocks are in all time high, and are in bubble like the world didn't see. Yet, all central banks on this planet are working together to prop up the stock market. That will work...until it doesn't. It is always the same story, in every crisis. We are in total overdue. But the banks are proping up the stock market like crazy. It's all fake. But that's what we have. Fake market. My statement is meant for short period (few weeks - almost same situation). That does not mean that no one should have silver or/and gold. That does not mean no one should have cryptocurrency. Silver, gold and cryptocurrencies are very good reserve if anything happens to stock market.
