Are We Heading Into a 2008 Style Economic Implosion?
Graham Summers * Phoenix Capital Research
The media is jumping for joy over last week’s US jobs numbers. But beneath the veneer of headline numbers lies a truly horrible economic reality.
Let’s have a look at the two key economies for the world: China and the US.
For starters, China’s recent economic data, as massaged as it is to the upside, is downright awful. China’s PMI numbers were the worst in two years. Staffing levels in the Chinese service sector decreased for the first time since January 2009 (remember that year).
China’s LEI also shows no sign of recovery. If anything, it indicates China is heading towards an economic slowdown on par with that of 2008. And if you account for the rampant debt fueling China’s economy you could easily argue that China is posting 0% GDP growth today.
In the US, last week’s jobs report didn’t look too bad until you dug deeper into the report and found that the average workweek declined by 0.2 hours from March- April.
So what you may ask… 0.2 hours? Just under a 15 minutes per week?
The issue here is that if you apply this drop to the total number of people employed in the private sector, this is the equivalent of over 21 million work hours being lost in one month.
That is the single biggest drop since April of 2009 when the US economy was absolutely imploding. It’s the numerical equivalent of firing 718,000+ people.
This is how companies deal with economic contractions. They don’t start laying people off en masse… they start cutting work hours bit by bit. The mass layoffs don’t come until the official numbers announce that we’re in a full-blown recession.
The first stage of this is already happening. 99% of investors fail to see it, but the clear signs are there.
Investors take note, the market may be hitting new highs thanks to traders’ games, but the real economy is contracting sharply. This is precisely what happened during the market peaks before the Tech Crash and the 2008 Collapse.
We are getting precisely the same warnings this time around.
If you are not already preparing for a potential market collapse, now is the time to be doing so.
I’ve been warning subscribers of my Private Wealth Advisory that we were heading for a dark period in the markets. I’ve outlined precisely how this will play out as well as which investments will profit from another bout of Deflation.
As I write this, all of them are SOARING.
Are you ready for another Collapse in the markets? Could your portfolio stomach another Crash? If not, take out a trial subscription to Private Wealth Advisory and start protecting your hard earned wealth today!

I personally don’t trust Mr. Summers. I live 30 miles away from him (practically neighbors) and emailed him on several occasions about his firm and received silence in return. He also predicted the dollar collapse last September and here he is 9 months later with the same jargon but I guess he learned his lesson about making dated predictions.
He’s not saying anything new here most don’t already know. He’s doing “window dressing”and fishing for more customers.
