This isn't the only guy saying its all going down. I've been reading it for months from other financial folks.

The reason. The markets are propped up with phony bailout money. The fed has propped up the markets the last year and a half with their phony loans at near 0 interest to their insider big bankster buddies. The whole market is a sham now. And the stupid peasants to date have bought into it. Amazing.

His message is for investors, not every day citizens that are living paycheck to paycheck. He is talking about preserving wealth. I agree with his deflation outlook.

Re: Dow Theorist Richard Russell: Sell Everything Liquid You Won't Recognize America By The End Of The Year
i've been told to sell paper stock and invest in metals and food for 5 years now, if I had done that back then, I would only empty cans of tuna fish right now.

if its going to happen, nobody knows when, and when it does in the US, everyone will be in the same boat, because people with lots and lots of money in the bank and stocks will be NO BETTER OFF then those of us who live paycheck to paycheck.

the ones that will survive, regardless of paper stocks or even gold, will be the ones who have stored food in their basements and guns and ammo to protect it...are you going to shoot the neighbor to protect it though? and all your cousins with their little kids and your godchild? You willing to watch them starve will you ration out your cans of tuna and baked beans?

if it gets so bad that people would die to steal your garden pumpkins, I think the reset button on our government will be set, the politicians will be brought out and hanged with the banksters and ceo's, (if they can be found).

Yes, horde some food and seeds, and be ready to be the calm one in the family who had a plan, but I don't think madmax will happen unless we are literally nuked in several cities.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 956505

Companies keep firing or laying off workers to 'save" money to protect the bottom line. In other words, to show a profit to investors, they get rid of the people who have built their production. If sales are down, you tell the stock holders profits are up by eliminating labor. This is the main reason many are reporting profits. Of course, there are others who just send all labor jobs overseas to cheaper labor. Many corporations have been doing this for a long time now.

I could type pages and pages and pages to explain what AC 956505 has wonderfully summed up.

If this dumbass truly believed in the massive collapse he is talking about where we wont recognize the market then being liquid aint gonna help. Hell, being in gold or silver wont help...U would want to be in guns, ammo, MREs, generators and bottled water if u know what I mean. And if this is the case he would be giving the info away since selling it for $300 wont help him or anyone else over the next 6 months. This guy is a douche.

Richard Russell has a GREAT track record.

For those of you unfamiliar with him he is NOT a short term trader. He is a LONG TERM INVESTOR type of advisor who's newsletter has only been concerned with market moves that will last 6 months to 4-8 years.

Some of the most successful long term investors that I know have followed his big picture recommendations for 40 years now ... and by following him they have managed to sidestep every one of the major bear markets that have occured over that period of time (which REALLY helps your wealth grow ... catch the upwave while avoiding most of the downwave).

This is a BIGGIE for him to be so outspoken. Normally he is a pretty matter of fact type not used to using strong language at all.

In order of priority:

Preps (food, water filters, tarps, tools, etc.)
Ammo
Little bit of cash
enough silver to bribe your way out of the country


I have a little bit of silver (what, like 5 ounces LOL), so it's not enough to get out of the country - besides, I don't think most of Mexico is going to be much better off, and Canada is too cold in the winter! hiding

As for less liquid assets like real estate consider:

We are talking about surviving a depression with 50% unemployment possible.


Sell your 800K house that you have 200K of equity in and buy a 200K house that is paid in full.

For those living in rural communities:
Sell your 250K house that you have 100K equity in and buy a house for 100K paid in full.

Re: Dow Theorist Richard Russell: Sell Everything Liquid You Won't Recognize America By The End Of The Year
If you concentrate only in liquid assets imo you are screwed


You are right, going liquid in this day and age means going into fiat. It's a strange thing for him to tell us to do... because with the amount of money floating in stasis out there, if the velocity of said fiat increases with the interest rates then your liquidity will begin to lose value very, very quickly. So for him not to say that that money should be dropped into commodities (even if just gold and silver) is absurd which makes me question his entire premise to begin with.

And get out of debt? Why? If the system comes completely off the hinges then what does it matter if you owe money or not? Things would become increasingly difficult for everyone and that means more folks defaulting (or going outright bankruptcy) - so much so that the already overwhelmed system would be even more overwhelmed. Eventually someone would have to push the reset button (admitedly, not that easy to do.)

So I will take this article with a grain or two... I know the system is unstable globally, to the point that it is teetering over the edge now, but I don't buy that the stock market has anything realistic to ascribe to the national economy anymore, it's completely disassociated itself from the main economy awhile back and should not (and cannot) be used as a gauge for economic activity on the realistic level.
