Jay Taylor: Turning Hard Times Into Good Times
Are We Nearing the End of a 34-Year Paper Asset Bull Market?
John Rubino, and Michael Oliver are Jay Taylor's guests. Several leading hedge fund managers are calling an end to the bull market in stocks and bonds. For example, Bill Gross recently said people should buy things the Fed has not yet bought like gold and land. Of course, Wall St. propaganda will suck in the last dollar available from the pockets of an impoverished and shrinking middle class. Oliver's excellent momentum work says we are nearing the end of the secular bull market in U.S. sovereign debt and a sharp rise in interest rates lies ahead of us. The Fed's tool left is "helicopter money." Will that lead to hyperinflation and dollar destruction? Is that why Bill Gross and other notable hedge fund managers are telling people to sell financial assets and buy gold? We will ask John to opine, Michael to update us on the latest revelations from his momentum work.
