Protect Yourself During the Controlled Demolition of the Economy
David Brady: Protect Yourself During the Controlled Demolition of the Economy
Palisades Gold Radio: 4-19-2023
Tom welcomes back David Brady, CEO, and Co-Founder of Global Pro Traders to discuss the current financial picture. He believes this is the last pull back before a big take off in gold, silver, platinum, and miners.
Hedge funds are massively short bonds in particular the 10-year, and the banks are on the opposite side of that trade. History shows that banks are almost always the winners. He provides a few targets he anticipates in the next run.
David believes we will get a deflationary event at some point in the near future. By the end of the year, he feels a depressionary scenario is likely, with soaring unemployment, bankruptcies, credit card debt, and auto reposessions.
Real estate is stagnating, and the banking crisis is worsening. The Fed will cut rates and print, but that might not save the markets this time. We could be looking at a controlled demolition of the economy, with most sectors going down. Prices for necessities will skyrocket, and there won't be many places to put your money.
David believes a mind-shift is occurring in the public with regards to gold and confidence in currencies. We're seeing talk about fertilizers being bad for the environment and the purchasing of farms in the Netherlands. If the politicians don't agree on the debt ceiling agreement, all hell could break loose.
The Fed would have to restart the printers as the debt rating falls. We can't just keep borrowing while devaluing the currency, which means some sort of financial reset is inevitable.
