Money will become useless.
THINK;
If money becomes weird, why would you want money ?
Am watching closely...timing is everything.
If you have money in the market when it crashes, you have no option but to hold.
Snickers and Mounds? That would be the Hershey Company. A pretty stable stock.
You starve. What the current stolen administration wants is for Everyone to be beholden to the state.
POWER!
Please contact a professional about investing your assets, not random people on the internet.
Short USD across all major currencies (AUD, CAD, CHF, EUR, GBP, NZD)
TIPS - Treasury Inflation Protected Securities. Vanguard has such a fund called VAIPX. As inflation increases, the value of the fund increases.
Yes but buying and selling is standard for this guy. He knows how to make money for himself, so the question is how he sees market crash or perception of a crash as an advantage?
Not think that there is an answer, just noting there’s not enough information to take this at face value.
Diversification. Index funds for various sectors, consumer products, technology, real estate, energy, emerging markets, the S%P, precious metals and some bonds etc.
Some asset classes could suffer a relative crash - meaning they increase in value at a slower rate than inflation. If housing goes up 5% in an environment of 10-15% inflation, it can be said to have "crashed" - but the house is still worth more next year than it is today.
The risk factor for equities is that most of the indexes and mutual funds are dependent on the same few stocks: Google, Microsoft, Apple, Facebook, Tesla, etc. An economic crisis impacting these stocks could have a broad negative effect on fund values, but remember - the Fed has already proven it will defend the inflated values of these particular quasi-governmental entities to the death. They are proxies for the overall economy, and the Democrats don't want to mess with their own Golden Geese - even if they seem gleeful about wringing the necks of Main Street's.
I suspect this crash will leave asset values about where they are - but raise the prices of consumer staples to intolerable levels. A year from now, measured in Corn Flakes, your house and 401(k) may be worth half of what they were - measured in dollars, their values may well be higher.
“Ideas?”
I’d cut spending, but that’s obviously off the table with both parties. This is the rainy day everyone is supposed to save for, but the American government hasn’t saved for anything.
If assets crash in a bust, cash is king. Use cash to buy assets after crash. Problem is if assets don’t crash, say runaway inflation scenario, then cash is trash. I can imagine both occurring over next few years, what a mess they’ve created.
With interest rates low, borrow a bunch and buy investment real estate. If inflation grows, they will meet or beat it and you can pay for the loan with income.
Look up I Bonds
Everyone become a Mormon. They keep a year’s worth of food I understand. At age 65 everyone join the Amish. No material goods to worry about. Close knit-a side effect.
He’s a billionaire. I doubt he’s pushing anything small like food.
The problem with the rigged market is that .gov can allow some assets to crash and support others—and there is no way to know in advance which is which.
I prefer gambling at the casino (or at least I did before the mask mandates).
Buy stuff you can touch and see—stay away from paper anything.
Thought I’d avoid the nuts for awhile. Diverticulitis and all that.
