This thread is about the coming financial meltdown that is likely to happen throughout 2019.

In the other thread I named some possible reasons already:

>record company earnings/profitability

>lowest unemployment of the last 50 years

>record stock buybacks by companies

>difference between 10- and 2-year Treasury yields on 11 year lows (yield curve)

Those are indicators that were present just before pretty much all of our past recessions as well.

Especially the yield curve was always very helpful in that regard.

Then we also have:

>record debt levels in governments

>record debt levels in corporations

>Increasing interest rates

>fed unloading equity from their balance sheet to the open markets (mostly stocks)

So the fed is reverting its easy money policies because they think the economy is doing great again.

In fact everything is very fragile.

In the past 10 years, companies used cheap credit by the federal reserve to invest. However, their investments are not always generating the desired cashflows. Now with interest rates rising again, they are using more and more of their cashflows for servicing their debts. Same goes for governments.

The federal reserve bought up lots of stocks since the last recession. For the past few months they have started offloading this crap again in the open market, putting additional downward pressure onto stocks.

For comparison here is the Dow Jones Stock Market Index during the last big crash.

It plunged from its ATH of 14'000 to around 6'000 during a time period of about 15 months.

I hope you enjoy our ride down and make some money off it.

I'm hoping for the collapse, I am in a pretty decent situation to take advantage of a very cheap stock market. I intend on dollar cost averaging through it and hopefully when the market recovers I'll have a nice healthy portfolio and some hope about my finances in the long term. Here is to not getting sunk on the way, good luck.

It is bad news if you are in a position to get fucked by a weak economy. If you are not in a position to take advantage of it, I would recommend accumulating money and shoring up your resources in case you get laid off. Having a strong emergency fund (6 months would be my minimum recommendation) will help in times of turmoil.

If, however, you are financially strong enough to ride through a weak economy and can afford to invest, the stock market will be on sale and you can get shares cheap. When the market goes up your portfolio will swing upwards and suddenly your money will have expanded much faster than it normally would have. Not everyone will be in this position, and it is a risky move, since you never really know when the economy will finally bottom and begin to reverse.

Do not enter too early.

Let the market flush out the zombie corporations who have structural weaknesses. They need to be bankrupted (see Lehman Brothers 2008).

General Electric is one of those. There are many more of them in NASDAQ and DOW

Let the dust settle before you start buying and don't buy any banks or insurence companies. Future growth will be based on Chinese demand of our high tech products because they cannot produce it themselves. Focus on companies that can produce industrial high tech goods (not consumer products) and machines.

>>5398

One strategy is to wait for the crash to happen. Then after the crash you buy stocks at 50% discount compared to their all time highs. Then you wait 10 years to reach the ATH again and sell for double of what you invested. While waiting for the higher prices, companies will pay you dividends. You can use those to buy more stocks with it and get more dividends next year. and so on

The other strategy is basically betting (derivatives and naked short selling).

I will not explain this to you because you will fuck up everything and end up with infinite losses.

>>5402

Todays crash started with Apple. Basically they slashed sales forecast because Chinese/American trade war. This is the official story. Of course everyone knows already that they cannot sell any new cellphones because everyone and their mothers already has one. There simply is nobody left to buy their fancy gadgets anymore.

Then you also have those other reasons from my OP.

Many Analysts think that the 10 year bull market has ended and that now a recession follows.

>>5432

Absolutely this. Cash is the thing to have now. Because in every recession cash is king.

To be precise it will be USD currency which will be king in the next few months. Simply because all the other currencies are doing much worse and against those the USD looks pretty decent. Some people also say gold and silver will see much more demand but I doubt that will be the case. Traditionally during a recession, everything is tanking.

In recession times you get laid off pretty fast. So keep this anons words in your mind. Especially if you have wife and children or a mortgage. If you lose your job your bank will demand more cash from you for your mortgage because your credit rating goes down. Usually you have 30 days to pay the bill. I would say to keep even 1 year worth of expenses in cash because job markets are tough and you cannot know when you find a job again.

>>5433

You know how the saying goes:

Buy Low, Sell High.

You realize the profit when you buy it cheaply.

It will go up, Only a matter of time.

>>5438

In year 2008 our entire financial system was at risk because for many years since the dotcom bubble, money was given cheaply to banks and they used it not for production but for speculation. Lehman Brothers crashed as a result of this insanity. Then to boost growth and make the recession as unhurtful to normalfags as possible, Fed Chariman lowered interest rates near 0% to "stimulate the economy". However, the same shit happened again and everyone used the cheap money from the central bank not to boost production and the real economy, but to speculate. As a result, asset prices have been inflated into infinity, even higher than in the previous bubble:

>real estate prices near all time highs (especially in Vancouver, Sydney, Melbourne, SanFran and London thanks to Chinese millionaires)

>stock indices all over the world in all time highs

>interest rates for savers nearly at 0% (pension funds need to invest in risky stuff to pay the pensions of old people)

On top of that, you have the following problems

>companies in record debts all over the world

>governments in record debts all over the world

this is now becoming a nasty thing because interest rates are going up again.

So more and more of company and tax revenues is used to service their debts.

General Electric is plagued by this right now. They have loaded up so much debts that now with higher interest rates they have lost their credit rating.

They are traded as junk right now and cannot borrow short term money from the regular markets anymore.

To make it short. Since 2008 there has been lots of malinvestment all over the world. And now the mess is beeing cleaned up in a very nasty way.

How this will have such a huge impact on world's economy? Few tech companies will crash, people will lose jobs, economy will go down a bit but can it really crash? I don't know if 2019 isn't a bit too much optimistic prediction but hey, I'm just guessing and never say never.

It is not Apple causing this drama. Mainly it is about Chinese economic data.

Some new data was released that indicates a contraction of Chinese economic activity. For example retail sales have been going down for years and now reached a new low.

Lately one Chinese expert said real growth in China is around 2% only. It is estimated that the regime needs at least 6% growth to survive because Chang says: My grandfather was starving as a farmer, my father was a sated as a factory worker and I will be computer engineer and rich.

This is why they are autistically flexing their muscles now. They want to keep attention away from their flawed economic model and blame America for everything.

China was responsible for some 30% of worldwide growth and now that they seem to slow down, they will take the world economy down with them. Basically the German economy is also dependent on Chinese companies buying their industrial machines. And Swiss and Swedish companies are delivering high precission technology to the Germans to build it in their machines. So if China goes to the shitter, it will be nasty for many people.

Now back to thread.

There was a slight recovery last week after chairman powell ensured they can revert their policies any time. However, he said the same last September and then gave us a rate hike in December. It came like a hit with a baseball bat. I doubt he will change direction of his policy.

The next few months will be very interesting. I hope you all had a good start in the new year.

well done israeli doomer, it's rare to see an accurate post on markets and the economy on any forum, let alone some backwater cesspit like 8ch.

TL;DR the economy is leveraged on the banks, who are leveraged on each other, and the central bank dictates the leverage of the latter. in that manner minute actions from the central bank ripple out to the entire economy. Central banks are all that matter if you want to understand our credit-based economy.

Also, whenever a bank makes a loan they are creating that money on the spot, lending it at interest. 97% of currency circulating in the economy resulted from a bank extending credit/making loans, meaning that money *must* return to the banks lest everyone default and go bankrupt. The whole economy runs on bank credit. Now you should understand just how powerful they and their central bank are.

>The other strategy is basically betting (derivatives and naked short selling). I will not explain this to you because you will fuck up everything and end up with infinite losses.

yup.

>Cash is the thing to have now. Because in every recession cash is king.

absolutely correct. $USD accounts for 90% of global transactions as well as approximately 60% of debts/liabilities OUTSIDE the US. 70% of global GDP is based in USD (http://personal.lse.ac.uk/ilzetzki/index.htm/Research/Ilzetzki&Reinhart&Rogoff.pdf).

USD is king simply for the reason that borrowers require it lest they go bankrupt. From which banks conveniently get to seize their assets. Its good to be a bank.

Only thing you're missing OP is how the economy is leveraged on the banks. Nearly every crisis originates in the banking sector, since the economy is leveraged on banks and banks are leveraged on each other, it just takes one SIFI (Systemically Important Financial Institution) to fold that results in the whole network of contracts to freeze up. Banks cease lending into the economy, debts overwhelm money creation and thus you have deflation. The inevitable result is the central bank injecting fresh, debt-free cash into the system, usually after Congress panics and grants them even more power over our livelihoods. Globalism 101.

Forget Apple or China or whatever. All that matters is central bank policy, mainly the Fed. Two other largest central banks, the ECB and BoJ, are also tightening credit to a global economy that REQUIRED 0% loans to remain functional. Anyone with a brain for finance knows that's a complete joke. And now they're removing it. Another SIFI (probably Deutsche Bank) will fold, interbank finance freezes, the economy freezes, and central banks are given clearance to expand operations even more.

Funny thing is I'm actually in support of these globalists, because it's clear from everyday conversation the average human being is way too passionate to cooperate with other nationalities. In short the Fed and PBoC would be much more efficient at regulating our interactive economies/money supplies than the US Congress and China's Congress, and these boom/bust cycles are the most expedient way to tie them together, ultimately under the IMF's printed currency the SDR (https://www.imf.org/external/np/sec/memdir/members.aspx). Ces't la vie, goyim!

6000 get

Also may as well give my current portfolio positioning, right now I'm about:

40% cash (checking account + short term treasuries)

30% gold miners

20% cryptocurrency (had since 2015, sold 1/3 for 3x gain in 2017 so what I've got is essentially free. Missed the '18 pump though, stupidly)

10% oil (recent acquisition, <$50 for WTI)

Looking at getting into healthcare and utilities since they tend to do well during recessions but I'm hard pressed to dump my cash. I'm fine holding gold, it'll probably be flat through a crisis as was the case in 08, then blow up afterward as the Fed inevitably has to step in and backstop the markets with their unlimited balance sheet. What I find truly interesting is the fact that the market for gold reversed *right* as the fed started tightening credit to the economy back in Dec 2015. That, to me, is the global gold market calling their bluff on normalizing monetary policy, and that they will inevitably return to print and buy tens of trillions more in the next debt-deflationary implosion. Conventional wisdom would state the opposite, that the Fed tightening means the economy is good and that gold would be dumped as people put money into speculative things with yield, but that is clearly not the case. Central banks purposefully cause crisis so they can usurp even more power over their host nations. Godspeed. (Here's a great clip from Cato's 36th conference on monetary policy, from the CEO of American bank BB&T about how bad a job the Fed does https://vocaroo.com/i/s05s7OaacyJ6)

Also, always use charts. The price is the most honest indicator you'll ever get. To figure out a low on markets just compare assets prices to what they were during the 08 panic, decent way to get a ballpark bottom to determine entries. From there it's just identifying where supply overwhelmed demand and vice versa to figure out good entries for long positions. My gold mining positioning has fluctuated between +50% and -25%, not bad at all if I've got the overall trend right over the next few years. If I do I'll easily be +300% by then, 2nd pic. Pace your entries and you'll do just fine.

Here's my favorite tool for scanning stocks: https://finviz.com/screener.ashx?v=211&f=cap_midunder&ta=0&p=m&o=-marketcap

If everyone did this and managed their money properly the power banks have over our lives would be eviscerated. Fucking goyim.

GE is in very bad situation and I read there was a hedge fund interested in buying their aeronautics business. I guess this would be the strategy. Split up the company in important and unimportant stuff, let the good stuff be bought by others and let the rest burn.

Deutsche Bank is also said to be the Elephant in the room. They have trillions of worthless derivatives in their books and essentially their true worth might be even negative. Their stocks are today trading lower than during the 2008 crisis. They even got a free bailout in 2010 after they lent out corrupt and broke greece billions of dollars. They didn't learn a single thing from their mistakes.

>why not buy banks

because they have been lending to companies and people who will never pay back the debts (broke governments, fantasy companies) or they have trillions in derivatives that are waiting to blow up once the shitshow starts.

>buying it from europe, mainly germany

yes but germany is industrial machines mostly. USA is still #1 in arms manufacturing and software.

For example when you run a computer system in your company, it will usually be microsoft products because the enterprise ressource programs and design programs run on windows.

Also, microsoft is making good money on their cloud services.

>dividends

check any stocks site for ROI of stocks (return on investment). It is usually a figure for dividends paid per stock/price of stock.

Usually you have a ROI figure of 2% nowadays. So if you pay 100$ for the stock, you get 2$ of dividends at the end of year.

Of course if the company is having a hard time they will not pay dividends that year.

dividends are basically profits that the company made during the year. At the end of the year they pay out a part of them to the investors.

>EUR

The euro is a failed construct since its inception. You cannot have 1 single currency if you have 27 different treasuries, 27 finance ministries and 27 jurisdictions who are competing with each other. Who in their right mind would create something like the EUR. Ah okay, it is a political project for Brussels to demonstrate their power (just like the EU army).

>worse than 2008?

much worse. why? because since 2008 we did not solve the underlying problems. We only created more debt and kept kicking the can. Now the debt piles have grown even larger.

>>So what then? revolution? civil war?

exactly. there has already been one incident where unemployed people from one region travelled to Beijing to protest the government. Imagine 50 million chinese beeing mad at their government and only half of them travelling to Beijing and trying to overthrow the government. This is the thing that keeps them from sleeping at night.

this is a smart move. part of the money will flow into gold because of its safe heaven status. And normally gold mine company stocks move multiples of what the gold price moves (in percent). clearly shown by the image you posted. very smart move

I think in the long term you are right. BTC might to to 50K or 100K easily. it might also become some sort of international settlement system if today's system collapses. However, I think in the short term it is going down. Probably even below 1000$. There is just so many early hodlers keeping 1000s of coins they bought for a dollar per piece and it would not hurt them to even sell at 400$ per coin if they need cash.

Thank you for your insights anon

Nah, the only worthwhile aspect of a finance degree is accounting, the rest is just regulation and sales. Most of Wall St is just sales fyi. The conventional wisdom on economics and investing is designed to create as many passive investors as possible (you can't predict recessions, don't time the markets, and other such nonsense). Think how many people contribute to their 401k as their equity positioning. Those people are essentially perma-long the market, a reliable base on which smart money can cash out on. Those people should only expect to keep up with inflation, not so much retire in comfort and luxury.

Anyone with savings can do this. Literally anyone. And once you learn what's important it's not particularly difficult to stay on top of it.

Central bank dictated credit cycle > Market cycle > Economic cycle

Understand how central banks push the whole leveraged system around and you can do well. In essence it's just the artificial credit cycle (as opposed to business or whatever cycle) and sector rotation around it. To quote none other than Warren Buffett:

"Diversification is protection against ignorance. It makes little sense if you know what you are doing."

You can make good money sitting in the right places at the right time. Credit cycle and sector rotation to figure out what places, charting and TA to figure out what price. Can't put it any simpler than that hombre.

In all fairness I made tons of mistakes and will make lots more, but eventually the pain of losing money teaches you. It's good you get anxious over speculation, that shows you grasp the magnitude of it. Sign up for http://tradingview.com and start paper trading. You'll get the hang of it after about two years.

Here's a very basic lesson on TA which imo is very accurate. I basically just stole this guys strategy and have done very well with it. Check it out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uX6TUrTxD7U

>exactly.

Hahaha, ahah, hah, yeah, okay. They shut down occupy wall street, they can shut down any revolution. People are simply too stupid to recognize and attack the core of the problem, and if they are, it's no trouble shutting it down and then blowing up some other inconsequential rioting on the media instead (like the ridiculous French psuedo-revolution going on now). It's no challenge at all managing the public.

Banks are gonna win and the supranational SDR will become the world reserve currency. And it will be great tbh, it is the only way you're gonna get fair and consensual trade between nations.

>>6118

>central banks intervene at the markets and decide who will be the winners or losers.

Sort of, central banks do intervene in markets but it's commercial and investment banks creating colossal amounts of derivatives and dumping them on markets that primarily move the needle around. Create a billion dollars worth of gold futures, dump them on market, push the price down $50 and cover your short as the market reacts. That's how pretty much all markets are manipulated, along with HFT which sort of levitates the price so long as there's a modicum of genuine demand coming through. Although I am talking about the US here, in Japan you'd be spot on with that claim. BoJ owns about half their equities by now I believe. Central banks backstop the whole thing and take decisive roles during the inevitable credit crisis. Their words carry weight in the interim since they form the base of this tottering inverted pyramid of credit, to which banks et al react to.

Also just to digress, free markets inevitably lead to monopolies.. think of the oil barons of the 19th century (as if they ever left). Some degree of state regulation is necessary. Not that what we have today comes close, just wanted to make that point. Totally free markets are no panacea. And while I'm at it neither is a gold standard, a flexible money supply is optimal for any economy and credit comes closest to fitting the bill. Just a matter of who gets to issue it, private for-profit institutions or the government (speaking of which, sign up for these guys' newsletter: http://www.publicbankinginstitute.org)

>gold

Yeah, as I've stated it's pretty much smart money frontrunning the fed's/central banks bullshit. It'll behave similar to how it did pre/post 08 because central banks are going to do the exact same thing, just on a much larger (and likely permanent) scale. For the record the miners I'm holding are THM, cb 45c, AUMN cb 40c, and GSV at 1.45c. Fucked up on AUMN, largest position and it went from 40 to 20c. Bought too much too soon rather than patiently entering over years. Things won't start breaking down till the Fed pauses, holding rates abnormally high in a system used to zirp.

>oil

I just wanted some exposure to it, 10% is my limit. Wanted some exposure to oil, utilities and healthcare, and oil being a commodity it's a bit easier to time. Own PGHEF with a cb of .675c, and OBE at 53c.. in retrospect I probably shoulda just done options on an oil etf like USO or UWT, since this is a pure TA play. I could've done better, guess I got too used to longing gold through miners. I'm probably gonna be stuck in it for a while too, it's gonna be hard for WTIUSD to get back over $55, I'll probably have a chance to exit whole or at a %20-50 gain or so but really the risk/reward on this trade isn't worth it short to mid term. Shoulda done options.

If you'll notice there's a bunch of yellow lines on my oil chart.. those are zones I drew and watched the market tank through. Decided to go for it when it when it started testing its previous 40-50 range. Pretty sloppy work honestly.

>bitcoin

fuck yeah bitcoin, everyone's favorite wildcard. It's actually been looking really good recently, granted I said the same thing when it was basing $6k. But yeah, small market, likely cornered, plenty of hype, it's a great catalyst to any portfolio. Just keep your exposure manageable. It's shit as money though, lol. To me bitcoin is much more akin to gold or fine art. Pretty solid recession/wealth hedge type stuff. Should know whether this is a bottom or not by February.

First off bitcoin is no real threat to the banks, second off shorting something 'to nothing' is a good way to go bankrupt. Banks can manipulate markets through derivatives, but at some price there will be an immovable buyer who will stand for delivery. It's better to call it aggressive price discovery than outright manipulation since they'll only push the needle around to the point where they're making money or breaking even at worst. If some bank dumped billions of bitcoin futures on the market pushing the price to say $1, I'd be standing right there taking those futures and standing for delivery. TL;DR you're retarded and don't understand what markets are.

>Dec 2018: Trump: Hey you fucking retard, how am I gonna prove my worth now

>all this time I took the stock market as proof for my genius policies

>change this shit or you fired

>Powell, a few days later: We are ready to reverse our current rate hikes

>Wall street euphoric again

He will repeat this meme into eternity. Claiming his policies are gr8 and making hamburgerland gr8 agen. But in fact only Wall Street is profiting of it. And the tax benefits he gave out last year that was the ultimative cream of the crop for them. And what did wall street do? Did they invest in new machine parks? Did they hire more normalfags for work? Did they scale up their production capacity?

Of course not, they took their cash gift and parked it offshore. Wall Street is just a vampire that is extracing money out of the real world economy. And Trump is letting them run rampant while claiming to represent Joe Sixpack.

On a side note: Stock buybacks were illegal until year 1982. There was a reason why this was illegal. So that companies could not artificially make themselves appear like they are doing great. When you reduce the amount of stocks available by 10%, you can make your ROI rates go up by that difference without producing anything in the real world. You just take out loans and buy your own stocks on the stock market. Example:

A company generates 10M in profits and has 100M in equity

Its ROI is 10M/100M = 10% ROI

now Mr. CEO buys up 15million in equity and the math looks like this

10M in profits divided by 85M in equity = 12% ROI

In nominal terms, this is an ROI increase of nearly 20% in 1 year, without doing any real work. It is fraudulent and misleading. The company is not creating any wealth nor producing any more units of its portfolio. Simple balance sheet cosmetics

>tldr: our economic system is a ponzi scheme, central banks are fucking young people in the ass, boomers are rich already but want even more and the entire pension system will fail because people are not shitting out kids fast enough to take care of muh boomers

But no wonder, after 3 editions of QE, the S&P index grew 300% from its 2009 lows. That means it quadrupled because FED started buying all this paper on the open market.

If you're semi serious about dividends, look up the Dividend Aristocrats. They're all blue chip stocks that increased their dividends for 25 years straight or more. My advice is to try to balance growth and dividend yield. Between reinvesting your dividends to buy more shares/DRIP and increase in stock value, you'll be sitting pretty when we recovered from the upcoming recession.

I'm more of seeking advice as to what percentage of my portfolio ought to be my survival stockpiles. Ammunition retains value pretty well and guns are both immediately useful in an emergency, along with often appreciating in value over time although it admittedly varies by brand. Colt firearms come to mind as a boomer gold standard for retained value; FN is also a good choice. I'm more keen on investing in historical surplus- my father got me a SMLE No 1 MK. 3 for $200-300 US probably 10 or so years ago and their current price is around $650 to $800 for good examples. Once I've got a collector's licence I can have guns shipped straight to my house, saving me extra costs.

My bet is on Makarovs going up as the imports slow down. From what I understand, a lot of surplus is very cheap for around a decade until stocks dry up/imports get banned/etc. then it goes up. Great for collectors but bad for shooters.

But luckily for me, I can just reload the cartridges I want and not pay Prvi Partizan $2 for every trigger pull.

Stop paying off the debt. Just stiff them.

Credit is a force multiplier for your networth. But if your networth is going to be zero for years, fuck it. You don't need to be paying off the debt. Take out a huge loan and invest it (not in college– I mean, actually invest it with the intention of getting an ROI). Stiff them and focus on raw networth.

Then, later, when your networth is 5 digits, get a secured credit card and run all your expenses through it. Depending on the time-frame from your last charge-off, it could take a few years to repair the credit, but that's fine. That's just more time to build up networth.

The rich will have it better when society collapses. It's a pure numbers game. Better equipment and prepared properties will always provide a higher chance of survival. You do not want to be the guy trying to rob the human skull trophy hunter.

Normalfags park their debts in sports cars and mcmansions and wonder why they poor

However, many CFOs are now calculating with a recession by summer 2020 so I would wait with buying any stocks or real estate. We are now at all time highs and the market must come down first.

The amerikanjin poster is right. If you don't have equity, you can always take a loan. Just remember that when you fuck up it will hurt very much.

Anons, you know I have been talking about the Japanification of the economy for quite some time now. Today I found an interesting guy on jewtube to explain in detail what is going on in the world:

Richie Koo coined the term "Balance Sheet Recession"

Basically it is just like an alcoholic that goes into hangover mode after a long drinking spree and then he is fucked for some time until he recovers:

>central bank turns rates low

>companies start taking up loans

>bubbles appear in segments of the economy

>companies all rush into bubbles, buy speculative assets for lots of money

>prices explode

>central bank steps in, raises interest rates and slows new credit injections

<a dangerous bubble is appearing in this and that segment, we don't like this

>eventually the bubble runs out of new fools to buy at new tops

<bubble pops

<gorillions of monies evaporated into thin air overnight

<awwww god please no

<Taken up 100M in debts to buy 100M in speculative real estate

<not the real estate is worth only 30M

Now begins the interesting part:

>now that companies burnt their fingers with speculation, they swore to themselves:

<NEVER EVER AGAIN

<well, at least we are still selling cars and phoro equipment

<we burnt our fingers with this new speculation but at least we are not completely fucked yet

<so we will just use our cashflows to pay these debts and eventually everything will be good again

>central bank steps in:

>this bubble is taking us into a recession, we are lowering interest rates to stimulate recovery

<yeah good for you fagget, we are never ever again loading up on debts

>interest rates at 0%

>still nobody is taking out loans to invest in new production

>even if they take up 0% free credit, they will invest it in Vietnam, Bangladesh or Philippines, not at home

>central bank: holy fucking shit, why are they not investing, money is practically free

>are they fucking retarded or what

<we will never ever again take up loans and fuck ourselves in the ass my friend

This is the downward spiral we are facing. People burnt their hands in the 2008 crash.

They will never ever take debts again.

Now the problem we are facing is that a balance sheet recession takes 15 years to recover. So companies gamble on bubbles and then they are practically for 15 years in zombie mode and sucking the economy dry just to pay back their bad gambling debts. The correct solution would be to let them all go bankrupt instead of keeping them at artificial life support. Sure, we would have 2 years horrible recession, but the companies that would sprout of the ashes of the bankrupt ones, would be productive again. And when zombie companies recover, they will never ever take on debts for new investments because they will never ever again want to repeat the same mistakes. They would rather only fund small investments with their own cash flows instead of taking up shitloads of debts and do the same mistakes all over again.

So, since 2008, we have been in a balance sheet recession. Companies have been paying back debts instead of investing. Because they all got fucked after the Lehman moment. On top of that, everyone optimized the fuck out of his company and nobody will ever again take up loans and invest in the west because demographics tell us there is no growth. Those manufacturing jobs Trump was talking about? The ones that come to america? Guess what, those factories will be fully automated. No humans will work there.

Because wages that means cost of living for workers are too high. To make us competivie with the 3rd world, we would need to lower the cost of living and with it the living standards.

Also, Koo says:

>well if private sector is not investing, govt must step in and invest to keep GDP stable

>otherwise people will lose their jobs and it gets really nasty

this is what I don't like about him. He is still a Keynsian at heart. He just tells us govt intervention is not bad per se even if central banks and their easy money start bubbles in the first way we just need to ensure that govt intervention can countermeasure the previous type of intervention that got us into this mess.

>okay but when the govt is 200 Trillion in debt, what do we do then

<well, we can deal with that problem later

he is a smart guy but he is just another boomer who just delays the problems to the next generation

>my ponzi is going good, I made my millions, you young people fuck you, make your own money, fix the problems we left you

All in all, his videos help you understand why there will be no recovery in the west but sadly he doesnt have a solution either …

Keynesians are too retarded to get this.

They've spent the last couple years discussing negative interest rates, even. As in, you take on a loan and have to repay less than what you took out. Because that's definitely not going to end in inflation of Zimbabwean proportions.

this gentlemen, is the real Elephant in the room.

Inflation is still low. Why is that so? Because all this newly printed money from Central banks, it never left the banking sector. The banks pumped it into stocks or derivatives but there are no companies taking this money to buy materials and land to build farms or factories for production. So the money is just sitting in the bank accounts of Wall street mostly instead of tickling down into the real world economy.

Koo had a chart explaining exactly this problem. The monetary base went from 400% (UK) to 1100% (JPN) of what it was before the crash. All thanks to money printing orgies that never stimulated anything other than speculation markets. This basically means we are facing inflation rates of up to 300% - 1000% if this money comes out uncontrolled into the real world markets.

The federal reserve is especially in a very bad position because they have unleashed a 2 Trillion QE money printing program that is now sitting on wall street accounts. For 2 years they have been trying to suck this money out of the system again because real world markets in USA started to take up loans and invest again after Trump election. Also notice the sick fixation that Trump has with the stock market.

But every time they move too harshly, the Jow Jone stock is crashing again. They are really in deep shit and there is no fix to the problem. Lately Powell was expected to lower interest rates again because the Dow was weak again. He didn't and implied they will wait and still want to "normalize" everything. Meaning they want interest rates of 5% and Fed balance sheet reduction. Of course this would instantly flush the economy down the toilet. Or what is left of the economy.

The tragic of the story is that pension funds are fucked. Interest rates are low and they will stay low into eternity. In Japan they were at 0 for 30 years and people are still not spending. On top of that, now that companies AND governments have loaded up insane amounts of debts, they are dependent on low interest rates or else the interest payments start to eat up their entire tax revenues.

We truly live in a clown world

I am not that sure anon.

You are right, historically gold goes up in times of recessions but I think Silver will be hit hard in the next recession because demand for Silver is mostly industrial. And in recessions, industry tanks badly (also demand for all industrial metals in general). In 2011 Gold skyrocketet because of the Euro crisis mostly. But then investors found out the world is not ending and you can make more money in stawks.

I think the next crisis will be a deflationary recession where people will be paying back their debts. They will step back their own consumption, and start saving wherever they can to shrink costs (companies and private people). As a result, demand for everything will go down and prices for it will also sink. Or rather cash will appreciate because there is no work and no cash flows and everyone is desperate for cash.

In those times, Cash is king. People also say King Dollar and see it as some kind of safe heaven asset in times of uncertainity. Or to say it in another way, Cash will appreciate against everything because everyone is short of cash and needs to pay his bills. Therefore I think you are better of with Cash (Dollars) than with silver.

But of course you can keep enough cash to pay your bills for a longer time and park the rest in gold. You just need to remember that if gold market tanks, you might be forced to sell your gold at a loss. However, I don't know what currency you have in Uruguay and how stable it was in the past but gold might be better than your local currency even. And always remember, Gold is priced in USD, so if Gold goes up in USD and Uruguay currency goes up as well against the USD then you might not making any money.

Currently the auto inventories (unsold cars) in america have reached nearly 5 Million units. This last happened in 2007 and you know what happened then …

>What stocks do you suggest jude?

Never buy individual stocks, buy the entire index

you can fuck up with single company easily but it is unlikely that the entire index goes to shit all at the same time. But of course, wait with buying until stocks come down at least 40% from their All time Highs of Sept 2018

Remember, during the japanese real estate bust, home prices fell 87% even. So maybe we can expect price corrections of up to 60% this time. Of course then life will go on, companies will survive the recession, they will produce stuff again and they will sell, make profit and pay dividends. I am just saying that today's prices are too high to justify buying it.

Then you ride the next boom until a new ATH is reached and then you sell again. You will make double of what you paid plus all the dividends you milked for 10 years.

Actually the recession pretty much started in late 2018 already. Companies have less orders, they are slowly scaling down their production again for heavy machinery. Soon the companies that buy those machines will be the next ones who will face lower sales volumes and scale back too.

But what you say is probably true for another scenario. In 2024 it is estimated that Medicare will run out of money to fund poor boomer billy with his medical stuffs. By year 2024 it is estimated that the entirety of new loans taken out of the US gov will be used for paying only interest on already existing loans. That means they will have to accelerate their debt creation even faster and faster.

But that will not be a 2008 like recession, it will be full blown venezuela mayhem

In any case, what uruguay-san is telling might be good idea. To load up some gold coins just in case everything goes to shit. Just so that you are not standing there with nothing while everything is burning down.

you are right, central banks have been really good at keeping the ponzi alive without getting us into hyperinflation yet. This time it is different because the symptoms of 2008 are showing up again but there is nothing central banks can do anymore.

The economy was doing really well before the huge 2008 crash, too. It was one thing the Republicans loved to brag about, and by that point it was the only thing they had to brag about, since they failed to capture Osama and Iraq turned into a total bust. We recovered from the dot com burst and more. Stock averages were at the highest they'd ever been in 2007 and early 2008. Bush had a trend of consistent growth starting in 2003.

I already talked about how Trump likes to fetishize the Dow and always takes it as an indicator that he is doing a gr8 job as POTUS. Lately he was bullying Jay Powell into cutting rates a few percent points to boost the economy even more. The funny thing is, When all comes to crumble, Trump will be blamed by everyone.

It's like the emperor has no clothes. Many people recognize it, it's not really up for debate but someone has to say it.

Those articles on zero hedge are showing you things disintegrating, but the collapse will happen quickly once it gets going. It's not an easy thing to know the exact timing. That might sounds evasive but it will come, it doesn't have to be this way (which is why people stand up and talk about it / warn about it) but the current financial and monetary system is ensuring these things keep happening. The current rosy picture is an illusion provided by loose Fed policy. Look at the recent traction about MMT, it's insane. It's denying the reality of finite existence. This is also the reason they are letting in the brown hoards. They cannot afford to have the population count decrease because the debts incurred and still incurring are predicated on productivity of the future population.

From my experience Bitcoin ATMs are best

the people on localbitcoins are all useless. They are either homosexual flip floppers when prices go up they want to buy, next day prices fall and they shit their pants again or they are scammers.

If you don't have ATMs in your region then try to find someone in LBC who seems to have a good reputation. The last resort would be centrallized exchanges but it takes time to open an account and it might get you in trouble because banks hate crypto and they will suspect you of illegal shit just because they can.

>>19346

This is very dangerous advice you give. There are algorithms on exchanges that try to scan your bitcoins where they come from. If they see your coins come from the darknet, mixers or anything related with those things, they will flag you and report you to police. I don't want anyone to have drama with police for nothing.

Mixers are okay if you do darkweb stuff or deal person to person but not for when you want to deal with official institutions that have to follow KYC and AML regulations

Another problem is when he wants to cash out again.

>anon, where the fuck did you earn the money that you used to buy this appartement in the capital city center

>your tax report says you were unemployed the last few years

>are you a criminal or what

<gets jailed

<appartement confiscated by tax and drug police

always remember, if you plan to cash out, you need a valid receipt, where you bought the coins from, from whom and what time. Or no big exchange will want to touch your coins again. If you plan something, always plan it until the very end or else you wake up with bad dreams one day.

One final advice to anyone getting into BTC:

Don't panic. BTC can fall down 90% overnight but it will come back up. Because supply is scarce. If every single millionaire on the planet wanted to buy 1 BTC, there would not be enough of it for everyone. THis is why BTC will always have some value. Another advice: Only buy for so much money you can afford to lay around for years. I mean, don't spend all your savings on BTC if you are living off your savings. Just buy some amount you can shoulder to not have right now. Then put away your coins for a few years and forget them. Then in a few years come back and see them grow.

In 2011 my cousins told me I was retarded to get into it when prices were crashing from 30$ to 2$

In 2014 my cousins told me I was retarded not selling after prices went crashing from 1300$ to 200$

In 2017 my cousins also told me I am a fucking lunatic ratard after I refused selling at 20'000$

In my eyes, BTC will one day reach USD 250K. That is the equivalent that BTC would be worth to all USD bank notes that are in circulation (M3 money supply or how it was called). Other currencies are not included.

And that about helping each other is right. They help each other establish businesses, get contracts for work and they elbow their ways up and go over corpses if necessary

ahh, yes, here they are second hand store owners, fast food restaurant owners or "logistics company" people.

we all know what is happening and what "logistics" they are doing but nobody cares enough

but that story was hilarious. yeah, this is how they operate. even when they are not into drugs and arms trafficking or prostitution, they steal or scam other. And what I hate most about Albanians, you cannot do trading with them. They show up and think the prices are like on bazaar:

>but this item is damaged no it is not

>I want discount

>and I want this and that included

go fuck yourself blerim

then there was this other story my sister told me:

>has coworker

>Squip woman

>has ugly nose

>wants surgery

>but to not pay for it

>healthcare insurance pays her surgery

>meanwhile honest people are paying from their own pocket

why be honest when you can cheat …

The best ally, worst enemy scenario. In general catholic albanians > muslim albanians

Gentoomen,

I think the doom porn is finally taking shape to become something big.

Today Dow Jones fell below 25K. Apparently the 25K mark was psychologically important.

One might claim that this is the beginnings of a downtrend.

Then of course there is the CHina USA trade doom porn. USA clearly has the upper hand because China needs the US high tech products but USA can substitute the made in china cheap stuff with products from other countries. In the short term this will favor USA. The panic that is going around now is basically that USA/China trade war will inevitabily ruin both economies and that it might be one of the reasons to trigger the next recession.

The rare earth minerals export ban might make a comeback but in the end, USA can produce those themselves and Australia has giantic deposits as well. They just can't compete with China when it comes to cheap prices.

It will be very interesting to see how this trade war plays out.

However, the Chinese are a rising empire and USA is an empire in decline.

They will not stop China from getting stronger in the long term.

Especially when the rest of the world is demanding their products as well.

In 2018 when the price crashed on the exchange after being bubbled up, big fishes have been started buying up. I know one guy that works for a Lichtenstein investment company / private bank and he told me they are buying all the coins they can get. That was around November last year. He met the grandson of Erdogan in Stuttgart for a BTC deal. They were exchanging 500K Bitcoins.

So basically, the big fishes have been buying up this shit while the gulible get rich quick normies have been panick selling because they don't know how this market works. It always goes up because there is a finite amount of it. If every millionaire on the planet wanted to buy 1 BTC, there would be not enough for everyone.

Now there is a shortage of available coins because apparently everyone who wanted to sell to make some quick profits did sell already. I expected prices to sink to 1500 again. Apparently that happened earlier.

Basically people sold a portion of their BTC and spoiled themselves a little, but now nobody wants to sell because it is expected that 2017 happens again soon. People are getting greedy.

The new people coming to crypto hope for another 2017 and they are now buying from an ever decreasing amount of people who are willing to sell. Whales bought their coins for a few dollars per coin, they do not need the money but they also don't care if they sell at 3K or 15K. They are still set for life. And the big money people are also sitting on their coins because they know if this shit could easily break 20K without them, it can break 50K in the next bull run.

I personally believe BTC will go to 250K in the long run. But long run means 20+ years.

And I think it will become too expensive for ordinary people and instead, it will become a settlement system between countries and big corporations. Because in BTC you cannot be blocked out of your money if you piss off uncle Sam and Trump decides to put embargoes on you.

Very interesting what is happening now and I wonder if we will tank back to 1K5 in the coming months

forgot to specify

The big fishes have been buying OTC (over the counter, not on official exchanges).

That means they wanted to get all the dormant coins that have been outside of the system to cause as less noise as possible on the exchanges.

I expect them to eventually move those coins onto the exchanges and then resell them to gullible normies for 15K per piece.

There are 2 scenarios:

>This is my savings account and I have literally no other money other than that and on top of that I am unemployed or on the verge of unemployment

no, better first to worry about source of income

besides, short term investment BTC is very insecure, it can always crash another 70% and if you can't stomach it, better dont play with it

>This is just some inheritance money I got from grandpa and I have a 9-5 job anyways and don't really need it. On top of that, I don't spend much money anyways so better to park this money and maybe in 20 years when I want to buy my own cabin in the woods I want to cash out

In this case I will consider bitcoin. Is there a price you would say that I should absolutely buy if it goes down to it?

Dunno, in less time we're gonna get actual quantum computers and those could easily break the encryption and thus double-spend thus rendering btc useless as a currency

Maybe thats why quantum computers went from being a tiny niche for IBM and dwave, to a massive new scene with everyone making a quantum chip. Bet there's government and bank money on this.

you might not get the best price but it gives you a balanced average.

>burnt hands with stocks

I am sorry for you. Now it looks like we are entering a bear market again. But keep those stocks anyways, especially if they pay decent dividends. Maybe if the price crashes, you can buy some more stocks for cheap and get a better average price per share. Then you don't have to wait until it reaches a new all time high to sell with profit

>>21884

This is why I tell you Finex and Bitstamp are nothing

The real big fishes are OTC deals. What you see in exchanges, it is basically gullible normies buying the overpriced coins of whales. The big deals are done OTC

>quantum computers

sure that might be a thing eventually but you can ride the wave on the way there, right?

>what are the odds

my theory was that now with the economy slowing down, companies will start reducing costs and paying back debts. In this scenario cash becomes king and nobody buys anything anymore unless really needed. So I thought in the next recession, asset prices will fall again.

But now it looks like the USA China trade war is fueling BTC instead. I also read a news article where a former Chinese central banker was denied a USD 20K money transfer by the Chicom govt. The official reason was that he was "too old". Maybe people really start to look for uncucked alternatives to fiat money.

>So the price would collapse before even reaching the last ATH?

no, the art is to sell slowly. For example you buy 1000 BTC for cheap at 3K OTC.

Then you sit on them. Then prices start going up. Prices reach 15K.

Now is the time to start selling slowly.

You go to the exchange, transfer your coins. Then you sell 10 BTC every day.

Just small amounts to not disrupt the environment.

When you have sold your stuff, you wait for prices to crash again and repeat.

This is what they are doing.

Time to update my thread again

Here some of the interesting articles:

>Did boomers ruin everything

Negrohedge finally found out about the problem:

https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-06-28/did-boomers-ruin-everything

Then there was another article about boomers indirectly.

The main topic was about inflation and the question why there was no consumer price inflation after central banks injected record amounts of cheap credit into the financial system. The answer was something like this:

>from ages 0-34 most humans are net consumers

>from ages 35-65, most people are net savers

>from ages 65+, most people are net consumers again

The bottom line was that boomers, being the largest demographic group in the western world, are the key drivers to those numbers. When boomers were young, economy was thundering and stronk because they spent their monies. Then they became net savers, did not want to spend what they earned, outsourced, automated and optimized all processes in companies as well as at home to pump up their assets and pension funds.

Now that boomers are becoming retired retarded höhö, they want to spoil themselves and spend their cash. That means all that money that was stashed away from years, will find its way into the real economy and start a cycle of events that will inflate all consumer prices now.

It was a very good article but I cannot find it ATM, might post later or if any of you have it saved, post is.

>Blue Gold

https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-06-25/blue-gold-horseshoe-crab-blood-worth-60k-gallon

If you have some of those crabs in your pond, their blood might be worth 60K per liter

that guy on /b/ seems to have been right

>Gold Asteroid worth 7 quintillion dollars

This is why bitcoin might be better bet than gold

https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-06-26/golden-asteroid-worth-700-quintillion

if this space mining becomes reality, gold supply can increase while BTC supply is hard coded to 21M units

I am still waiting for the big crash btw. I researched this Jay Powell guy.

He released some papers a few years ago. In those papers he described something like this:

>the current situation in stock markets is very fragile

>if the central bank tightens its monetary policy, the entire construct comes down crashing

but interestingly, that is exactly what this little fucker did after he became fed chairman

so basically, Jay Powell is aware that what he is doing, will result in the stock markets crashing

but the real question is, why is he waiting? I mean, he could just do it and then put all the blame on Trump and his trade war with China.

The mainstream press would support his view anyways because Trump = evil

It is a combination of 2 things:

One thing is like previously, boomers. They are not consuming. So all the money that was injected since Lehman, it went from the central bank to the commercial banks. But now it sits there doing nothing. The banks would love to get rid of it but there is nothing to invest it in, nor anyone to loan it out to either. There is nowhere for the money to go because nobody is taking out any new loans. Boomers are not buying yachts because they know financial situation for them is not good and they cannot spend cash on stupid stuff. So this newly created money is sitting at the banks and waiting to go out in the real world but nobody is taking out loans.

Then the second reason. Young people are broke. They do not have well paid jobs, and no job security. So they can obviously not take out loans for mortgages, weddings or cars. And as they do not move in with their sweethearts either, there is no furniture for IKEA to sell them either. Companies have seen those trends, and companies do not even invest either they do not take out loans for investments. Because they think those trends will stay like that for long time. So basically you have an environment where nobody wants to spend because everyone thinks situation is only gonna get worse in the coming years.

This is what surprised the Fed for so long.

>holy fucking shit dudes, we injected all those trillions into the monetary system, where the fuck is consumer price inflation? We barely hit 2% this year after being near 0 for years.

However, there is actually one thing where inflation does come up. It is asset prices. Be it stocks, commercial real estate or real estate for people to live in. Be it bitcoins or gold. Prices of those things have exploded in the past few years.

You can also notice it on rent and health care prices that have also skyrocketed in the past few years.

The govt just conveniently does not count those in for their calculation of inflation so they can lie better

Prices have gone up simply because of speculation. People who had access to those cheap loans commercial banks, hedge funds have used the cheap money to speculate with it. When you pay 0.1% interest on a loan, you can take out 1 trillion in debt and go gamble with this money on the stocks markets. when interest rate is only 0.1%, you can make a measly 1% return on investment, pay out your interest and you still made 900 Billions in net profits from wanking your dick to stocks charts.

But all those price increases are worthless because the underlying economy was stagnating the entire time. And when the next recession happens, all those inflated prices will crash 50% minimum. It is all one giantic bubble. Last time we had the real estate bubble in 2008. In 2001 we had the tech bubble. This time it is the everything bubble.

>>24185

In the long run I believe BTC will go to 250K. But for me long run means 20+ years. Dunno if you can wait that long.

Also keep in mind that in year 2020 the next halving happens. That means mining rewards will halve again and that should mean further upwards pressure for BTC prices as production costs are going up for miners to mine them.

The problem with BTC is that it can crash 90% any time and many people don't have the nerves to gut that and then sell at a loss instead of just waiting for the next bullrun

On companies and investing I forgot to add

Companies nowadays only invest to optimize their own processes read: costs. So, if they can buy a machine to fire 200 workers fixed costs, they will invest. Because you know, interest rates are near 0% anyways. So they can take out 100M USD for new machines and they pay a measly 100K in interest per year while the machines lets them fire thousands of workers. But they will not invest in new production facilities as there is nobody to buy their crap as nobody is taking out loans and nobody is spending their savings to buy their stuff.

This of course only generates more pessimistic atmosphere amongst workers

>oh shit another 200 people got fired, I wonder when I am next, better save money and not buy that fancy new SUV I wished to buy for christmas

Also, this again is this balance sheet recession phenomenon that this Hong Kong guy described. I wrote about it in earlier postings.

>real world: 2019: greece is still in the shitter and not coming out, debts are still high and there is no growth.

And young people are outsourced to go work in germany as baristas, waiters or furniture movers

You could have Jens Weidmann but of course he would not continue Super Mario's policy of easy money and you didnt like this.

>Lagarde's nomination is a sign that the ECB is standing by its commitment to 'diversity'

sure, because better give positions to people because they are of the right gender and race. Fuck giving positions to actually capable people. That is so 1980….

On a side note. A few weeks ago Trump cried about Powell not easing interest rates and said Draghi would be much better.

Now is his oppurtunity. He can hire Draghi now as first trans atlantic central bank chairman ever and he will print like bernank and greenspam together.

Which brings us to the next fishy thing that happened today:

>Gold Surges After Trump Nominates Gold Standard Advocate Judy Shelton To Fed Board

https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-07-02/gold-surges-after-trump-nominates-gold-standard-advocate-judy-shelton-fed-board

Please keep in mind, for Negrohedge, "surge" means a measly 20$ increase in the price of gold. But the more interesting thing is here:

>Judy Shelton, a sound money and free trade advocate, is Trumps choice for the Fed board

So basically the story goes like this:

>first I make fun of Jay Powell and critisize him that he keeps interest rates high and does not want to print and pump more money into the stock market

>then I nominate somoene to Fed board, from the crowd of people that say printing money is evil and destroys economies

On April 21st she is quoted in a finance magazine:

>It’s entirely reasonable to ask whether this might be better assured by linking the supply of money and credit to gold or some other reference point as opposed to relying on the judgment of a dozen or so monetary officials meeting eight times a year to set interest rates

And if you read the article you find out, she also claimed she would lower interest rates in 1 to 2 years to near 0 levels. That explains why he wanted her on board.

Also, Alan Greenspan did have publications about why gold is the only sound money and as soon as he get the fed chairman position, he printed like noone else before.

Business as usual. All of them are sellout bitches. Nobody will ever stand his or her ground. Just always focused to sit in the big chair among the cool kids. Fucking insects.

I have been rambling about yield curve inversion a few times already.

Here is what is meant by that term.

Whenever the blue line crossed the red line, there was usually a recession coming about 300 days later. This happened in January 2019 again ….

Basically, incestors would rather buy long term bonds than short term bonds because they think in the short term, there will be turbulences ahead and even the lower yielding long term product will get them better overall performance than risking their portfolio to tank in the next recession. This is why now everybody wants long term bonds and the interest rates are falling. Because there is less and less alternatives for short term investing

and here a very interesting article on energy and how it relates to our problems:

https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-07-11/why-stimulus-cant-fix-our-energy-problems

Up until now, I only ever thought of when energy prices are too high, then it is a problem because consumer cannot afford to drive cars anymore and the entire economy grinds to a halt

But of course, you have the same problem on the supply side as well. If energy prices are lower than production costs, nobody is gonna invest in new oil fields or alternative energy systems and that is the rather more nasty situation. Because the first thing you can medicate with Liquidity injections and quantitative easing, low interest rates etc. But once companies understand that their investments are fruitless, nobody is gonna touch risky projects even with a 10 foot pole …

>when you're internet nerd cryptography project becomes the biggest speculation bubble in human history

Iceland-san, my friend; I am in full agreement with you that 99.99% of cryptocurrencies, ICOs, and dapps are either scams, bubbles and/or overambitious failures. I am also in full agreement that there are many useful idiots, and especially con men and hope pushers in the cryptocurrency and libertarian communities who have vested interests in distorting facts and price predictions (John McAfee, Andraes Antanopolous, Craig Wright, Jeff Berwick, Roger Ver, and other libertarian and cryptocurrency public figures.) But what's going on with cryptocurrencies is the exact same thing that happens with every new lucrative industry, people get excited and con men take advantage of it. The same thing happened with the dotcom bubble, and yet, here we are, the internet didn't collapse, in fact, some of us need it far more than most others. The only thing that happened was an immense correction in the markets.

I advise of you not to throw out the baby with the bathwater and realize the applications cryptocurrency has, and will have in an innovated form. For the first time in human history, the world has the means to render the global banking cartel's fiefdom obsolete. Means of exchange used to be something only governments and central banks could dictate, and it always resulted in financial and economic serfdom and collapse, but with cryptocurrency, there is increasingly no longer any reason to use their promissory notes, especially for those living in dire economic situations. Venezuelans are turning to cryptocurrencies to preserve their wealth against hyperinflation, the Turks and Iranians are doing the same, to a lesser extent since their economies aren't as awful. They do so, not out of ideology, but because it's the best hedge they can get, regardless if there are better alternatives. Gold and silver may be almost impossible to obtain, or the government could just steal it all like Roosevelt did with Executive Order 6102. Imagine what's gonna happen when the US dollar collapses like the British Pound and other reserve currencies before it, what the economic effects of a crisis of that magnitude will be. The SDR will only be something governments can use, so where will the world turn to then?

not really, almost no one uses cripto, people use dollars. The ones using cripto are money launderers, that´s why you see a huge spike in "cripto adoption" charts. Its BS, is only a very little group of corrupt government cronies and mafias that launder a shitton of money and use it to bypass sanctions. The exact same people that caused the hiperinflation in the first place now love cripto, go figure.

dude , no worries , pension system along with a lot other crap is a scam

just calculate for one human how much of an average income one would have to "save" for retirement to live and maintain a average lifestyle while unable or at reduced productivity, assumeing person will live a average lifespan of 30 yrs after retirement and works an average of 40 yrs before.

start work at age 20 , save 1.5k every month for 40 yrs , have 720k saved at age 60, retire , spend 720k until death…

+/- zero

majority doesnt save at least 1.5 ( if anything at all ) per month for their retirement

it is all about calculating the sum of all shorter than average lifetimes

thats why unhealthy lifestyles are promoted

if shtf the ultimate resolve will be to ramp up a decent amount of dead consumer/producer units

while hitting the emergency brake early enough to not completely waste all potential

Not really, that cartel still has resources that dwarf the biggest crypto company out there. Right now crypto is about to get ass-raped by facebook libra, why? because that shit will be accepted everywhere, it will work everywhere, and will be supported by every app. Is the problem of convenience, btc is still too complex for normalfags despite being the most popular crypto out there its barely accepted anywhere outside some places on the internet (even steam wont support it anymore). Meanwhile dipshits think that because libra crypto is going mainstream, they dont get btc and others are going to be the CP/M and Altavista of this era, the has-been that are no longer there, and anyone who bought these coins and didnt cash out on time is gonna be a bagholder. Meanwhile you can't pull this speculative shit with libra because its a stablecoin, so no GRQ schemes.

hot take from undercover tranny/pol/ economist :

https://bunkermundo.wordpress.com/2019/07/19/the-coming-banking-crisis/

>Several years ago I began work at a Federal agency on a temporary basis. This agency was one of several responsible for banking regulation. It was here that I happened to overhear a conversation that struck me as incredible. Riding in the back of a black van, I found myself listening to several senior government economists discuss what should have been the unspeakable. The crux of this conversation is as follows: the de-regulation and relaxing of capital requirements for community banks had just been rolled out by the Trump administration and both the economists noted that this would put such small banks in a situation of systemic risk. The changing interest rate environment combined with this relaxing of requirements would mean that large banks would begin to unload their riskiest assets onto community banks, including CLOs (Collateral Loan Obligations, the updated children of the Collateral Debt Obligations that were at the heart of the last financial crisis). In a recession this would mean a massive collapse of community banks across the financial system. “2008 all over again,” one said. “Nothing we can do about it,” said another.

Gentlemen, this is a lesson for you. This is how the professionals make their millions

Only dilletants deal drugs or robb banks. True professionals open their own banks…

but honestly, when you buy these crappy derivatives, you deserve to get ripped apart

of course the problem is that rating agencies rate those toxic products like they are good when they don't really understand them either…

>Also If I'm poorfag who can't buy bitcoin or commodities like gold itself,

Honestly, I feel like now is maybe a bad time for buying. 12K was rejected, then 11K, now we are hoovering around 10K. Barely. I feel like we hit a dead end and we might soon be on our way down again. But I am always pessimistic though

>is it viable to buy stocks of bitcoin mining farm / gold miner/ oil refinery?

gold stocks are good for making profits. Because when gold goes up for example 10%. Then usually the profit margins of the company that mines gold goes up by 25% or more. This is why gold miner stocks usually perform very well in gold price rallies.

So if you are a gambler then this might be better than gold coins or silver coins.

However, then the price comes tumbling down, they deflate quickly as well.

And for btc. You don't have to buy an entire BTC. You can buy 0.001 if this is what you can afford now.

Professional trader here:

I know the indicator you should be looking for to known when a recession is coming, and because the economy can't handle a recession without a meltdown then we are going to have a financial meltdown. This is not even doomer forecasting its just reality.

The indicator you need to look at is

- 4-week average jobless claims

If it goes above its moving average (244) then in every time that has happen it triggered a recession. And leading indicators are telling us that it will happen in 2020.

Do not buy into the stock market, save all the money you can save. Prepare for a financial crisis and unemployment. & ofcourse buy bitcoin and gold.

Hermano

you don't understand this

the Federal reserve IS the market

what they say goes

and they have already made clear a few times already that they will not allow the markets to collapse. This year they have officially started to buy junk bonds of zombie companies. The next logical step is to start directly buying ETFs and index funds. And it will come

We have no free market anymore because there is no price finding mechanism anymore. In a free market, the price of capital is reflected by the interest you pay on loans. In our current times, we have interest rates of near 0 or even negative.

That means that capital (savings) has no value. Nobody needs capital anymore and so nobody needs savings either. Your savings have been deemed worthless by the central bank because they will just print 1 quadrillion dollars and put it into the market at 0% if necessary.

We have no capitalism anymore because companies cannot invest their profits in more productivity because there is nobody to buy more product from them. There is no growth because everyone who is not part of the 1% is fucked forever. So what do companies do instead? Instead of investing their profits in new machines, new products and new services, new employees, they just buy their own stocks to pump the values artificially into the sky.

We have gotten rid of capitalism and what we have left now is only crony corporatism and speculation in financial assets. And the worst thing is we have conditioned the young people that this was the way to go because honest work is useless in our modern times. Only cronyism pays. So our smartest people don't want to become engineers, architects, technicians, laborants, doctors or entrepreneurs. They want to be hedge fund managers, shitcoin speculators, rappers, influencers, models and soccer players.

As long as the federal reserve keeps interst rates below the fair market value, we will just continue with the zombiefication of our economies until there is only government left and companies that are sucking the government tits. Everyone else will be reduced to serf status

It's happening anons:

>The ECB has it

>The SNB has it

>The BOJ has it too

and soon the Americans get it also.

In Germany some of the smaller banks are already charging negative interest rates from their depositors. And those that don't do so officially, they charge you a monthly fee just for the priviledge of having your life savings deposited at their facility. You give them your money to speculate with it on wall street and make profits, and you get rewarded with penalties.

And to all those lunatics who think stocks are gonna crash

this will never happen

FED already said they are willing to do "whatever it takes" to "stabilize" markets

they will keep printing gorillions of dollars and just buy directly stocks and ETF's with it if necessary

Everything has now become too big to fail and they cannot let a single bigger company fail because the banks that have lent them money would start falling one after another like dominoes. Whoever engineered this financial system was a fucking retard
