Biggest lesson i learnt in 2023 in the stock market is that nobody knows what is going to happen next, so practice some humility and low a strategy with a long term edge.

[@maddysys]

Nobody knows anything; You need to create your own process, manage risk, and stick to the plan, through thick or thin, While also continuously learning from mistakes and improving.

I'm intrigued by this. I've searched for financial advisors online but it's kind of hard to get in touch with one. Okay if I ask you for a recommendation?

We are already in the big crash, Inflation is a catastrophe. This CPI report is a colossal failure. To bring the housing market to a halt, the FED will have to pull all the stops. The unfortunate issue is that other markets are being decimated. If you want to stay green, you have to rely on a lot of diversification. Currently up 14% and being careful. Still a better deal than leaving it in a savings or checking account yielding 0-1 percent interest.

[@AUSBERRYGrefford]

People believe their currency has the worth it does because they have no other option. Even in a hyperinflationary environment, individuals must continue to use their hyperinflationary currency since they likely have minimal access to other currencies or gold/silver coins.

If you are not in the financial market space right now, you are making a huge mistake. I understand that it could be due to ignorance, but if you want to make your money work for you, prevent inflation from eroding your savings, build generational wealth, and cultivate good habits and financial knowledge, you must be in the market.

Well explain thank you for bringing up this video Financial education is indeed required for more than 80% of the society in the country as very few are literate on the subject. The value of the US dollar is declining due to inflation, but it is increasing in comparison to other currencies and commodities such as gold and real estate. I'm worried that rising inflation will cause my 550k in my retirement funds to lose value, But with the help of Sandy Barclays I hit 220k this week from my investment of 45k, I am truly grateful for all the knowledge and nuggets you have given me over the past few months.

The difference between now and 1929 is the government will default, not the stock market. Warren Buffett said stocks are overvalued and why Brookshire is not investing.

You need to read "Broken Money". Let me ask you. Up until the internet came about do you think full survice stock brokers thought their jobs were at risk? No of course not. But they are all but extinct. Why? Efficency. Why would I call a broker up and tell them to buy 100 shares of APPL that costs me 20 bucks, and another 20 bucks to sell. So 40 bucks. And it was slow. BTC is way better than the dollar in all respects except one. And that exception is it is not accepted everywhere. But the cool thing, even now, is that you can convert BTC to almost any local currency. Read the book before you pass judgment on something you are not educted on. You are probably just spouting off ... the exact thing the elites that control the dollar want you too.

Yup, we're all Keynesians now and we have to have perpetual Growth, perpetual Inflation, perpetually increasing Debt and perpetually increasing Credit or the System will implode. We literally cannot have Deflation or the System implodes and it all falls down like a House of Cards. Inflation is here to stay, the Fed knows it has to have perpetual Inflation at or above 2%. The Fed is secretly much more scared of Deflation than they are of Inflation, they know that if they lose the confidence of the Markets and if a Deflationary Spiral panic ensues like it did at the onset of the Great Recession, it is truly Game Over and the entire System collapses. The Great Recession was caused by over-leveraged Banks and a Debt Crisis...and today the US and Banks are exponentially more over-leveraged and have bigger Debts than preceding the Great Recession. The only way to keep a Debt Ponzi Scheme at this massive scale going is to perpetually stoke the fires of Debt and Credit. The Fed will pivot quickly once the Recession we are currently in right now takes hold and the Public becomes aware of it and begins to Panic. Once the Public panics and mini-Crash ensues....the Fed will quickly pivot to Dovish Fed-Speak and Dovish monetary policies and they will stoke the fires of Inflation once again. It's a Binary outcome at this point. There cannot be another Great Recession or it's Game Over. There is no saving the System this time around if the Fed loses the confidence of the Markets. Any Panic similar to the Great Recession and any major Crash...this time around....will likely not be recoverable and the US-led Global Economic System will fail for good....to be replaced by a New System that likely will not be led by the US, and will likely be led by China. The Fed cannot let this happen and better be very wise and very careful. If they under-do it and don't pivot quick enough, they risk a Panic and they risk collapsing the entire US-led System.

Treasuries are being sold off because investors know inflation is uncontrollable since the fed has been unable to substantially reduce the balance sheet and with either Biden or Trump the situation will get worse, However, money is pouring into the dollar because it is the safest place during the global stagflationary crisis. The dollar will continue to rise as will bond yields as stagflation gets worse

Interesting.... Bitcoin can transport a "store of value" in seconds until the shtf regarding technology for one reason or the other.

If the Fed cut rates to make the debt servicing easier, inflation will heat up. But wouldn't that break the Fed's political independence?

[@bpb5541]

We are in a no win situtaion now. We could inflate our way out of it.. but the debts are so high it would cause massive defaults and unemployment.. less taxes and less GDP. Or we could crash. Crashing is the better of the two options. Either one is horrible.

Once again, high alpha interview with a great guest. Whilt the BTC chops within a range, it's reassuring to have the long-term BTC thesis reconfirmed. Thanks David 🤝🏻

I like this guy but he didn't hear about bitcoin in 2008.

[@AMP98765]

Been hearing the market is about to top and have a massive drop for about 8 straight months now from Felix Zulauf to Ted Oakley to Michael Pento to Mike Maloney to Peter Schiff to Marc Faber to David Rosenberg to Simon Hunt. So, what's the deal?? These are names in the market analyst business that are supposed to each have many decades of market experience. They have all lost their credibility IMHO and there's a dozen more names like them that have done the same but been 100% wrong for months on end.

The Magic Money Tree. Government printed a gigantic amount of money in the pandemic. They have not stopped. PPP loans, Employee Retention Credits, EIDL, CHIPs Act. Trillions of dollars. That was way more money than the economy needed. Result: inflation, living expenses and assets. Recessions always follow bubbles and this is the greatest global bubble ever. At some point we get a recession.

Lawrence Lepard: The New Quantitative Easing Guarantees Hyperinflation At Some Point (4 years ago). I guess we are still waiting on that.

[@dryanki7]

Deflation from the 80s to the 2020s?????! I hope you ask him to elaborate on his case of deflation for this time period because inflation was obviously around which he brings up the point of investing in stocks in the 80s for a 40 year bull run. So if this is the case then how the hell was deflation around.

The dollar milkshake theory is bogus. Money is flowing into the dollar not because smaller nations are forced to during tightening but because the dollar has immense liquidity for trade which gold and bitcoin do not. Simple reason. Not complicated.

It is always a serious issue if someone is advertising something focusing only on one property of it...not mentioning any problems/issues related to this product. Lawrence is doing exactly that with bitcoin...beware! I don't like what he's doing.

Sorry, when you say that Bitcoin is the soundest form of money, you give up all credibility and I can't treat you as worthwhile commentary.

Exactly,.. Bitcoin is no more "sound money" than Sam Bankman Fried's bitcoin ponzi scheme was a legitimate business.

@@wimvanaerde6249 Go to the store or any place and try to buy groceries or anything with bitcoin and tell me it's "sound money". Worse,.. tell me "its a store of value". It's electrons. If you think fiats are bad,.. bitcoin is fiat to an exponential. Its price is based on the greater fool. Gold and silver are a different story.

But is it the hardest money in human history. Do you know what sound money is? What are the attributes of sound money? If you do know, then you simply don’t know what Bitcoin is.
