IMF is discussing negative interest rates....

10+ years since the great recession. This is bad.

I personally don't think we ever fixed anything. We haven't seen the last of it. Basically... we put multiple trillions of dollars costing bandages on our wounds and the bandages have about filled up with as much blood as they're going to hold.

Will there be a hyperinflation?

Should i buy crypto/gold?

I don't know what to do or when it's coming. I do know that having the majority of your wealth tied up in the markets and US dollars will be bad eventually. But I mean for ****s sake... who knows when this road ends... we just keep kicking the can. Maybe we get away with it for my entire life, though I doubt it.

And yes, I see the troll. It's ok. I love you still.

It's always a good idea having some gold in your portfolio. Personally I don't see anyone doing well in the stock market (If you're just buying an index) over the next decade unless you have a good eye for value investing and the balls to invest in emerging markets (I got burned doing that)

We're going to be dealing with a period of deflation. Baby boomers retiring, job loss from automation. The Fed is still fixated on a 2% inflation target for fucks sake

We are told to save as kids and have grown up to discover that savings accounts are useless (if yours gets over 2% it's actually great). I may not teach my kids anything about investments and markets because the only thing I feel sure of is that they're all highly untrustworthy. You have these "honest" banks that merely give you shit returns and then you have groups like Wells Fargo that defraud investors of billions and then get a tax break bigger than their fine for it, the Enrons and Madoffs of the world out there to rob you when you think they'll make you rich. Economics either isn't a science or it's a secret science that will never be taught to the general public. The only investments I feel like I can trust are the businesses (often just side hustles) started by myself and/or people I know well. If I put 10Gs in the stock market someone may make another 10Gs off of it but I bet it won't be me.

The get rich quick and daily trading stuff is fools gold, look up long-term value investing.

Yield curve recession indicator flashes red as 10-year yield falls below 3-month yield

The yield curve as measured by the spread between the 3-month Treasury bill tmubmud03m and the 10-year note TMUBMUSD10Y, -4.11% inverted for the first time since 2007, following a sharp rally in longer-dated notes. The spread between the two maturities stood at around negative 3 basis points. On Friday, the 10-year note yield fell nearly 10 basis points to 2.434%, while the 3-month bill was down a single basis point to 2.462%, Tradeweb data show. Bond prices move inversely to yields. The last nine times the yield curve has inverted, a recession has followed, according to the San Francisco Fed.

[QUOTE]U.S. Markets Flash Warning Last Seen Before Great Recession

A bellwether U.S. bond indicator has turned negative for the first time since the beginning of the financial crisis in 2007. The closely watched gap between yield rates on the three-month and 10-year Treasury notes vanished in trading early Friday as buyers rushed into the longer-term bonds, pushing prices down.

The Dow fell 460 points Friday after a US recession indicator blinked red and a report on German manufacturing raised concerns about Europe's most important economy.

The index shed 1.8%, while the S&P 500 closed down 1.9%. The Nasdaq plunged 2.5%. It was the worst performance for all three major indexes since January 3.

On six occasions over the past 50 years when the three-month yield exceeded that of the 10-year, economic recession invariably followed, commencing an average of 311 days after the initial signal.

plenty of time for us all to get our affairs in order.
