“It’s Going to Get Really, Really Ugly”
caseyresearch.com / Justin Spittler / January 31, 2017
“If you don’t prepare now, you’re going to get hurt.”
If this warning sounds familiar, it’s because it appeared in yesterday’s Dispatch. It’s a direct quote from Casey Research founder Doug Casey.
As you may know, Doug thinks politicians have set us up for a huge disaster.
He says their “stupid government economic policies” have completely warped the global financial system. There are now huge bubbles in stocks, bonds, real estate… you name it.
Sooner or later, these distortions will come undone. Doug says this will trigger a financial crisis far worse than what we saw in 2008. It will usher in the “Greater Depression.”
According to Doug, this crisis may already be underway…
• The bond market is unraveling…
The bond market is where companies borrow money. It’s about twice as large as the stock market.
Many investors consider bonds safe. After all, bondholders are first in line if a company gets into trouble. The law says that they get paid before shareholders.
Bonds have also been in a bull market since the 1980s. Investors are used to them going straight up. But that looks like it’s coming to an end.
• Bond yields have skyrocketed over the last few months…
The U.S. Treasury market is a perfect example.
Last July, the U.S. 10-year Treasury bond yield hit an all-time low of 1.37%. Today, U.S. 10-years yield around 2.5%.
In just six months, the 10-year yield has nearly doubled. That’s an enormous move for such a short period, and a serious warning sign.
You see, a bond’s yield rises when its price falls. In this case, yields spiked because Treasury bond prices nosedived.
• The world’s top bond experts say this is only the beginning…
A few weeks ago, Bill Gross and Jeffrey Gundlach—Wall Street’s “Bond Kings”—both said bonds are entering a long-term bear market.
Most investors aren’t ready for this.
Remember, bonds have been in a bull market for almost four decades. According to Doug, the bond market is now “the biggest financial bubble in world history.” And we all know how bubbles end.
But bonds aren’t the only asset investors should be nervous about.
• Practically everything is in a bubble these days…
Don’t believe us? Look at the chart below.
Print this out. Keep it on your desk. Look at it every day.
This chart compares the value of U.S. financial assets (stocks, bonds, and real estate) to the disposable income of a typical family.
You can see that this ratio is in uncharted territory. It’s now higher than it was during the dot-com and housing bubbles.
• This is a serious red flag…
The S&P 500 plunged 41% when the dot-com bubble popped. The Nasdaq, which tracked many popular internet stocks, plunged 78%.
Seven years later, U.S. stocks crashed again. This time, the S&P 500 plunged 57%.
These back-to-back crises are the reason many investors refer to the 2000s as a “lost decade.”
You see, you would have actually lost 9% of your money if you bought the S&P 500 on December 31, 1999, and cashed out on December 31, 2009. That’s assuming you reinvested dividends, too.
These days, many investors couldn’t stomach another financial crisis. It would clean them out…
• The Federal Reserve got us in this mess…
Since 2008, the Federal Reserve has held its key interest rate near zero.
The Fed thought this would “stimulate” the economy. It didn’t work. The U.S. economy is “recovering” at the slowest pace since World War II.
All rock-bottom rates have done is fuel an epic borrowing binge.
You see, interest rates aren’t just some arbitrary number. They’re the price of money.
When rates are high, it’s the economy’s way of telling us that it’s a bad time to borrow money.
When rates are low, it tells us the opposite: It’s a good time to borrow money.
But here’s the thing…
• Interest rates only work when the government leaves them alone…
When the government holds rates near zero, everyone thinks they should borrow money.
No business idea is too dumb to fund. No house or car is too expensive.
Companies rack up huge amounts of debt. People buy everything on credit.
In short, the Fed broke the economy’s most important traffic signal.
This encouraged a ton of reckless borrowing. It blew the biggest bond market bubble ever.
• The Fed’s easy-money policies inflated the stock market, too…
For the last 2,885 days, U.S. stocks have been rallying. The current bull market in stocks is now the second-longest in U.S. history.
On its own, this isn’t anything to worry about. But you have to realize something…
U.S. stocks have rallied against all odds. They’ve kept rising despite steep valuations, weak corporate profits, and growing geopolitical uncertainty.
Commercial property has defied gravity, too.
Since 2009, commercial real estate prices have more than doubled. According to Real Capital Analytics, they’re now 21% higher than they were at the peak of the last real estate boom.
Like bonds, stocks and real estate prices will eventually fall back to earth.
• Now, we didn’t write today’s issue to scare you…
We wrote it because it’s easy to lose sight of the big picture.
You see, the Dow Jones Industrial Average just topped 20,000 for the first time ever. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq also hit record highs last week.
When stocks are at record highs, a lot of investors throw caution to the wind.
They chase stocks higher. They ignore their stop losses. They sell their gold.
But this isn’t the time to be greedy. As we’ve seen this week, the market can take away gains much faster than it gives them.
• If you haven’t already, we encourage you to “crisis proof” your portfolio right away…
Here are three easy ways to get started:
-
Set aside more cash. Holding extra cash will help you avoid big losses if stocks fall. It will also put you in a position to buy stocks when they get cheaper.
-
Own physical gold. Gold is the ultimate safe-haven asset. It’s survived every financial crisis in history. It will certainly survive the next one.
-
Close your weakest positions. Start by selling your most expensive stocks. They tend to fall the hardest during major selloffs. You should also get rid of companies that need cheap debt to make money. If problems in the bond market continue, these companies could be in trouble.
To be clear, we don’t think you should avoid all stocks. Just be extra careful about the ones you own.
• Many investors won’t take these simple steps…
They’ll wait until stocks start crashing to take action.
By then, it will be too late. It will be like trying to escape a crowded theater during a fire. Some folks will make it to the exit. But many will be engulfed in flames.
Don’t be one of those victims.

Just don’t wait too long. We’re going to pull this video down after midnight.

123’s of true Christianity v popular & damnable heresies
(simply because you “confess” it does not mean you actually are, the devil has deceived many of his own children to believe they are Christians 2Tim 3:5)
#1 “ONE” not triune: Isaiah 9:6. For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: …: and his name shall be called … the everlasting Father ….The son & father are the same person, NOT like two different persons working together even as “one flesh” ….The “oneness” between Christ and the father is not comparable to a man & his wife, for only a fool would say “When you have seen me you have seen my wife, how sayest thou then, Shew us your wife?” Notice they asked to see THE FATHER and the response was Jn 14:9 ..“HAVE I BEEN SO LONG time with you, and yet hast THOU NOT KNOW ME, Philip…..Now image some fool trying to claim that statement if you asked to see his wife!?!!? You want to see the FATHER but have I been with you but you don’t know me!?!?! https://www.scribd.com/doc/305367608/The-Trinity-Heresy
“WHO” it was (what person) that came “IN THE FLESH”, IS THE DETERMINING FACTOR IN WHAT IT MEANS TO BE “ANT-CHRIST”! Even Islam claims Jesus was the Jewish messiah/Christ who was to come in the flesh) they all deny “WHO” it was (what person) that came (to be the Christ) in the flesh!?!…….To deny the father is to deny the son because they are one and the same person that came in the flesh! https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/part-6-anti-christ-where-everywhere-allen-daves?trk=mp-reader-card
THE ANTI CHRIST….WHERE? WHERE?….EVERYWHERE!!! …..IT”S YOU O TRINITARIAN!
The whole point to Gal 3:20.a mediator is NOT A MEDIATOR OF ONE, (HEIS) but GOD IS ONE. (HEIS) again, point blank, identifies the number of persons of God! The “but” points out the contrast between multiple persons in a mediation party v the “one” of God. God is not like a mediation party with multiple different persons. …..”the express image of his person” ( the person of God; singular not plural).Any attempt to lay claim otherwise is willful ignorance and delusional nonsense https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/part-1-echadechadmy-godgod-echad-allen-daves?trk=mp-reader-card
Jn 14 continued….…………..17. Even THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH; (Jn 14:6 I AM the way, THE TRUTH,) whom the world cannot receive, .. for HE DEWLLETH WITH YOU, (present tense/standing next to them in the flesh) and SHALL BE IN YOU… (future tense “In them”) 18. I will not leave you comfortless: I WILL COME TO YOU (future tense “In them”) Note: The spirit of Christ is the sprit of God and the holy spirit that is why Christ said “I will come to you” (to comfort them, because Christ is the comforter). The spirit was standing next to them in flesh… ….latter it would come to them to be inside of them (inside of their flesh as the spirit we are given)…..that is why. he would send the spirit…… However, Jesus himself here makes the point that the same person who was the HOLY SPIRIT that would come was standing next to them but lets them know “I will come to you again to be Inside of you”
NOTE: don’t be that one in prov 26:12 over my use of the word “fool” here prov 18:13 (https://www.scribd.com/presentation/322007258/Fools ) “But but, the gospel of John…the Gospel of John …look look…” which is quite ironic since the gospel of John does not leave ANY room for multiple different persons of Jesus and father. However the gospel of John does leave a few verses that facilitate God’s promise in 2 Thess 2:11/ Isaiah 66:4 (take note of “HAND” in verse 2,14..You just can’t make this stuff up…God is surely laughing at these fools; Ps 2:1&4)
……Mark 12:28…Which is the first commandment of all? 29. …Hear, O Israel; THE LORD OUR GOD IS ONE LORD: 30. And ………..this is the first commandment….. 31. And the second is…..
JESUS IS GOD AND IS THE FULLFILMENT OF ALL THE LAW AND PROPHETS SO IF YOU CAN’T GET THIS “FIRST OF ALL COMMANDMENTS” RIGHT, ALL THE REST OF YOUR “FAITH” AND PREACHING ON SIN IS MOOT
TRINITARIANS CONFESS JESUS /THEY ARE NOT POLYTHEIST BUT ARE MONOTHEIST LIKE A LIAR & THIEF WHO “CONFESS” THEY DO NOT LIE OR STEAL The simple fact is that just because you confess or deny that you are in an adulterous relationship and denounce all forms of adultery has nothing to do with whether or not it is in fact adulterous! .. …A rose by any other name is still just a rose AND calling it a water lily does not change the definition of what a water Lilly or a rose is either!…No, Trinitarians confess & preach literally …”ANOTHER JESUS” 2 Cor 11:4

- Like a thief in your house caught stealing your things insisting he was not there stealing “I CONFESS I am NOT stealing”. You just do not “properly understand” what he is doing/saying. Further, since you never had a “proper understanding” of what he is doing/saying you have no business accusing him since you do not even know what you are talking about in the first place. It is with and in your own ignorance that you base your “false accusations” & “ad homonym attacks” against him…… Ridiculous of course it is ……2Thess 2:11; Titus 1:16; 2Tim 3:5;
- A Favorite tool for pathological liars is to use incongruent definitions or create oxymorons out of synonyms such as “a person” and “a being” so as to claim that your god is THREE DIFFERENT PERSONS but ONLY ONE BEING: Which is (1) no different then trying to claim that “THREE DIFFERENT CARS” is “THE ONE VEHICLE” (2) blatant demonstration of the dishonesty & sorcery these children of hell will employ with “a strait face” (which is in part what it means to be a pathological liar)
……but, ah i remember how this game is played… “God is three in one” (or 1in 3 or 3in one et al) should have given you a hint, harking back to Satan in The garden…God said you will die…Satan comes along and states no you will be more WISE……today .God said He is one; but Satan’s children come along and say no three is more WISE and humble in the face of God’s grandeur only “a mystery” that can be understood “in faith”. God uses head and right arm to explain the distinctions between father and son.. However, the Trinitarian heretics say to the effect: “NO, that is just a figure of speech, or that is not what God really means. What God is really saying is that God is three different persons”. Fools, hypocrites and blind guides, God said he was One and by your traditions and vain imaginations have taken the words of God and made them of no effect, refashioning God into your image!

#2 SECOND COMING Thou Fool! “I come quickly” so “Hold fast
till i come”… NOT …“in another 2000 yrs I might be coming soon any time now, so hold fast”!?! …those that deny the second coming of Christ in the war of AD70 are practicing a damnable heresy in denying the lord that bought them ( 2Peter 2:1-2 ;2Tim 4:8/ you cant love an appearing you deny& the context is the 2nd coming not the first)… Mat 7:23..”I NEVER KNEW YOU” …..Mat 10:33. But whosoever shall deny me before men……..sound familiar?…. If I said I am coming to your house in this generation when these things happen but no one knows the day or hour what fool would think I might be coming in 2000 years latter!?!? ..2 Tim 4: 4. And
they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be TURNED UNTO FABLES.
2Thess 2: 11. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12. That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

#3 There is a sharp contrast between THREE groups :
(1) “PREDESTINED DAMNED” who were NEVER written in the book of life ………..Rev 17: 8 WHOSE NAMES WERE NOT WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF LIFE FROM THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD, …as contrasted …EPH 1: 4. According as he hath CHOSEN US in him BEFORE THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD
(2) “MANY CALLED”= ONLY and ALL SAINTS (those who come to Christ) are written in the book of life … Philippians 4:3… ……Rev 21:27; (Only saints are Called and elect; Rom 1:6-7 et al) This is THE CHRUCH and ONLY these can have their names blotted out of the book of life ….….Heb 12:23 to the general assembly and CHURCH of the firstborn … WHICH ………are WRITTEN in heaven,
(3) THE FEW CHOSEN: Those saints who were alive in group #2 who are now physically dead. They died “faithful” these are the FEW that were chosen faithful…….Rev 3:5. ……; and I
will not BLOT OUT HIS NAME OUT OF THE BOOK OF LIFE, (Ps 69:28) …. These are the FEW that are CHOSEN and now that they have died and are saved then “once saved THEY CAN NEVER BE LOST”

Going to hell? Now everybody goes into the grave or pit (hell) after the resurrection of all at the end of the Millennium and the judging is complete, death and hell are cast into the lake of fire and no more, the second death.
kindly stay on topic, you evangelist, you!
With base rates at close to zero the jewish bankers just need to raise rates by a few percent to take ownership of most houses for cents on the dollar and they will pass laws to make it all seem legal unless we hang them first.
sign on the dotted line to become a debt slave over a bit of mud that you have to pay rent on the land for the next twenty five years or grown some and spend a few days putting the bankers in there place on the end of a rope.
as long as the Banksters are allowed to have a say in government then we the people will never be in the clear. when you buy a place and it is paid for then there should be NO-WAY it can be taken from you! period!!
That’s the exact same thing that I used to say to my ex-wife whenever her mother (the Devil’s advocate) would show up at the front door (It’s Gonna get really , really ugly really , really QUICK around here) !!!
let’s add up some numbers:
$100T in baseless paper fiat money printed since 1966
+ $20T national debt
+ $10T the Republicans are going to add
+ $40T corp debt
+ $20T personal debt
= eventual currency collapse
It’s coming, folks, regardless of who is in the W.H. or who controls congress…
the solution for this sort of peak like in the above graphic in the past, going back to 1987, was to run up the stock market and then do something ridiculous to crash values down 60-70% (1987, 1994, 2001, & 2008 crashes on this pattern)…There is so much bogus money out there that if this happens, it will also be coupled to runaway 1923 Weimar Republic style inflation.
So not only buy gold, a survival farm in the countryside, but also a wheelbarrow to hold your piles of $100 bills you will need to buy a loaf of bread.
Everything already is VERY, VERY UGLY; and getting uglier by the day.
….and not just the economy; EVERYTHING!!
