Greatest Bubble Of All Time

Could we see a nasty economic correction soon? That’s the belief of Wall Street money manager and financial analyst Ed Dowd of PhinanceTechnologies.com.

“There were plenty of people during the 2000 Dot-com bubble knew it was a bubble,” Dowd says. “They actually played it, and the game was get out before everybody else gets out. So people know it’s a bubble. The question is what will burst it? That is the credit markets and private credit which has been a big source of funding for AI is under stress. There is a default cycle coming and general backdrop of the real economy is quite weak.”

He continues, “The consumer is not doing well. Walmart just reported, and it had the lowest same store sales in six years. . .. The general population is not doing well, the housing market is rolling over, and we have the economic problems with China we have talked about before. So, it’s all conspiring to be a nasty correction.”

Dowd discusses the financial conditions  with Greg Hunter on a new edition of USAWatchdog.com.

US Becoming A Banana Republic

Financial observer and precious metals advocate Bill Holter sees a dark financial  future straight ahead.  Holter tells Greg Hunter that derivatives are the biggest danger.

He notes, “Warren Buffett calls them mass financial destruction. It should not go unnoticed that Berkshire Hathaway is now sitting on $400 billion of cash, which is the biggest hoard they have ever had.

“In 1998, the financial media called him an idiot, and what happened in 2000? Buffett was an idiot again in early 2008. What happened in late 2008 and 2009? Buffett is not an idiot, and for him to say now that there is nothing out there of value to buy and I’d rather have cash, that tells you a pretty big story.”

Will we see an enormous financial bubble or even a collapse? Here’s more on the story from Greg Hunter and USAWatchdog.com.
