In this in-depth interview, 49-year market veteran Bert Dohmen sits down with Jeremy Szafron to deliver a stark warning about the state of the global markets and economy.
Dohmen, who famously called the crashes of 1987, 2000, and 2008, reveals why he believes official economic data is a lie and how record speculation has created the most dangerous "bull trap" in history.
In this exclusive conversation, Dohmen exposes what he calls the "Bureau of Lying Statistics," gives his forecast for a major market downturn, slams Bitcoin as a "figment of the imagination," and details his controversial geopolitical thesis that a "return to colonialism" for resources is driving global conflict.
