Next Crash Exponentially Larger than Any Financial Panic in History – James Rickards

TND Videocast Spotlight:  Greg Hunter’s USAWatchdog |  

Best-selling author and financial expert James Rickards contends a big financial crash is locked in.  Rickards says, “Everyone is waiting for some blunder down the road, and the point I try to make is the blunders have already been made.  The blunders have already been built into the system.  You can see this collapse coming a mile away. . . . Using science, we can’t say very much about the timing, but we can say a lot about the magnitude.  This will be the greatest financial collapse in history.  I am quite sure about that, but I am not sure about the timing. . . . People think I can call them up at 3 o’clock in the afternoon and tell them tomorrow’s that day, sell your stocks and buy some gold. I can’t do that. I don’t know what day it will be.  If we get to that point, it would be too late to act.  So, the time to act is now.” Rickards goes on to say, “On top of the threats from Ebola, the Islamic State, the normal currency wars and the normal depression the world is in, there is financial war going on right now.  We put sanctions on Russia.  Do you think Russia is going to sit there and take it?  Russia is responding asymmetrically through cyber warfare.”

Rickards says in the coming crash, it is going to be very difficult to turn your assets into spendable cash.  Rickards explains, “People think everything is money.  People think your stocks are money because you can sell them and get the cash in your account in a couple of days.  People think your money market funds are money because you can call your broker and get the cash in your bank account tomorrow.  You think your house is money because you can take a second mortgage or sell your house.  What you find out in a panic is all those things are not money.  You are locked in, locked down and the only thing that is money is money.  That would be cash, if you happen to have it or gold or silver in physical form, not paper gold.  So, people don’t understand what money really is until everyone wants their money back.  That’s when you find out only a small number of things are actually money.”
