It's Official, the Everything Bubble is Beginning to Blow Up
It’s official, the Everything Bubble is beginning to blow up.
The single most important market in the entire world is the bond market. As I laid out in my best-selling book The Everything Bubble, politicians promise, but bonds deliver. What I meant by this is that low bond yields are the ONLY thing that has allowed the U.S. to engage in rampant stimulus/ social spending over the last 50 years.
If bonds were to ever revolt in the U.S., like they did in Greece in 2011, it’s GAME OVER.
I bring all of this up, because this process is starting to happen.
High yield corporate debt is the “canary in the coalmine” for the bond markets. It is the riskiest type of debt out there. So, when things start to go bad, it’s the first to roll over.
The canary is dead as of last week. This market is coming under extreme duress.
Further up the food chain are investment grade corporate bonds. These are bonds for companies with high credit ratings. And these too are now starting to get sick. This means that even highly profitable corporations are starting to get sick in the credit markets.
And at the top of the food chain is the U.S. Treasury market: the largest, most liquid bond market in the world. The yields on these bonds represent the “risk free” rate of return against which all assets, including stocks are priced.
The 30-Year U.S. Treasury is beginning to break down. This should NOT be happening. Money should be fleeing stocks into these bonds as a safe haven. Instead, these bonds are beginning to crumble.
If the Treasury market goes, then the Everything Bubble will officially burst. At that point, it’s GAME. SET. MATCH. for the financial system. The only thing that could hold things together would be if Central Banks went NUCLEAR with monetary interventions.
If you’ve yet to prepare for this, the time to act is NOW before the bear market hits.
Indeed, our proprietary Crash Trigger is now on red alert. This trigger went off before the 1987 Crash, the Tech Crash, and the 2008 Great Financial Crisis.
We detail this trigger, how it works, and what it’s saying about the market today in a Special Investment Report titled How to Predict a Crash.
Normally this report is only available to our paying clients, but in light of what’s happening in the markets today, we are making just 99 copies available to the general public.
