Anyone know a good way to (financially) bet against economic recovery?
Gold, silver, other precious metals, food and water and medical storage.
When you bet against no recovery, you are in survival mode.
In a “no-recovery” mode, you are in a vacuum, and nature (especially human nature) despises a vacuum.
In the short term, if you know what you’re doing, you can short-sell and make a profit.
Get a government job. Your government salary will be better than gold if we go into deflation and COLA increases will keep you whole if we get inflation instead.
Well, if you think the stock market is going to come to its senses, you can invest in reverse index funds (for ex, DOG).
You can short individual stocks, but I prefer not to do that. Doing it through these reverse index funds spreads the risk and you dont even need a margin account.
