People are so stupid (lol?)
 

Sorry right away, i know this kind of judgment is never appreciated, but being one of the stupid people i feel like i can speak for us all, and its not like this is mainstream news, its a GFY so relax! :pimp

WTF is going on in the economy? Not only in the US but all over the world, for the first time in history we see institutions "PAY" to save money, thats your pensions money, if u dont know what i mean by institutions, its our future pensions.

Majority part of our future pension is in bond market, because stocks are volatile investment, so about 80% are in bonds and the rest in stocks. But bonds give almost zero returns since the central bank lowered the rate to ZERO, like 6 years ago, and why we dont see any panic yet is because the stocks part have been rising, but its at all time high and its time for the business cycle to end and yet another downturn in the economy.

But this time we are so much in debt that the central bank cant do anything, like lower the rates, because they are already at zero. Its a huge depression in front of us and no one gives a fuck or even know about it.

You gotta love when u see 5 million Chinese brokerage accounts opened only in march for speculation in the stock market, and housewife's betting on stocks like its a casino.

We are on the heights of the bubble, hold on to something its gonna be a wild ride u never seen before. And its coming fast! And thats why we are stupid

are you not a proud American?

What are you doing? Are you liquidating all your assets? stocks? real estate? buying guns and bullets?

Stock market doesn't have direct contact to so called real economy. Of course if your banks, etc. didn't learn nothing from the housing bubble, there could be bigger problem, as it was in the 2008.

I don't know what you mean about the panic regarding the institution funds. Panic as those don't give good return? Also, the bonds from countries don't follow exactly the central banks interest rates. So, it doesn't matter that much is the central banks interest rate zero or not. It matters that there is more competition about the government's bonds, and thus the price goes down (and interest from those). Invest to Greece or something, they have still good interest rates (and some risks). :)

Congratulation on the very first thread.

1. The government insured bank accounts will be there
2. Debt leveraged investment has always been dumb
3. Recessions are wealth creation opportunities as over leveraged assets can be bought at depressed values

"Majority part of our future pension is in bond market" you planning on an "old folks pension" next year? "No balls -- no glory."

Now that you know whats going on, How are you going to use this information to make money for yourself?

Welcome n very nice first topic

Well i created this thread a couple days ago and today i found this video, and this financial pro tells exactly what I was talking about.

If u have 9 min extra u should listen.



Also worth knowing, according to the CMI, the Rejections of Credit Applications index just crashed the most ever, surpassing even the credit crunch at the peak of the Lehman crisis. Something big is going to happen soon....... zerohedge.com/sites/default/files/images/user5/imageroot/2015/04/20150413_NACM2.jpg

And new credits are whats is driving the economy, its like blood in our bodies, and when credit stops its like Thrombus.

Don't panic - everything is going just as planned.

Best spam ever...

Well, people who are aware of the the coming crisis run to gold, but gold does not increase in value over long term, gold only preserve the value of your savings, I mean when gold rise in value, it just means the currency (the money) are losing the value. So in a hyperinflation scenario if gold goes up 10,000% so does the price of milk, so its no win.

So to answer your question, I have been buying put options on the stock market, and some stocks in companies we really need need like food, energy and drug manufacturers. Those stocks will survive anything, and put options will gain when the market crash.

Edit: Just make sure not to leverage, because the market can stay irrational longer than u can stay solid.

U sure? :)
The guy in the video is a long time pro and his a gold broker, but I actually dont recommend gold. But it does not mean he is not telling the truth about the economy. Stocks perform best in the long run. careerbrandingmastery.files.wordpress.com/2010/04/stock-market-since-1800.gif

Thank you.

In just six short months, expectations for US economic growth in Q1 2015 has been slashed by more than half (from 'trend' 3% to a mere 1.4% growth this week). GDP growth is collapsing... zerohedge.com/sites/default/files/images/user3303/imageroot/2015/04/20150414_GDP_0.jpg
