This chart predicts every recession

[@RaymondKeen.]

Recessions are an unavoidable part of the economic cycle; all you can do is prepare for them and plan accordingly. I graduated into a slump (2009). My first job after graduating from college was as an aerial acrobat on cruise ships. Today, I work as a VP for a global corporation, own three rental properties, invest in stocks and businesses, run my own company, and have increased my net worth by $500k in the last four years.

It's often true that people underestimate the importance of financial advisors until they feel the negative effects of emotional decision-making. I remember a few summers ago, after a tough divorce, when I needed a boost for my struggling business. I researched and found a licensed advisor who diligently helped grow my reserves despite inflation. Consequently, my reserves increased from $275k to around $750k.

[@Beatricegove733]

I foresee a recession lasting 2-3 years, and if inflation continues to surge, the Federal Reserve will likely raise interest rates soon. Inflation is causing various issues worldwide, such as food shortages, scarcities of diesel and heating fuel, and significant spikes in housing prices, leading to a potential financial market crash. This global downturn could have long-lasting repercussions. Given the current inflation rate of approximately 9%, my main worry is how to optimize my savings and retirement fund, which has remained stagnant at around $300,000, yielding almost no gains for quite some time.

Numerous opportunities exist to achieve substantial profits at present, but executing high-volume and nearly flawless trades requires the expertise of real-time professionals with an ISDA Agreement. This agreement allows investors to participate in sophisticated trades, exclusive to seasoned individuals, and unavailable to amateurs. Attempting to be a high-stakes trader without an ISDA is akin to trying to win the Indy 500 riding a llama.

Recession is often the result of external factors, and it appears that the United States is losing its grip as a federal reserve currency. With a decreasing ability to control inflation and a reduction in stocks and oil trading, it seems that a new multilateral world order is on the horizon.

The pathway to substantial returns doesn't solely rely on stocks with significant movements. Instead, it revolves around effectively managing risk relative to reward. By appropriately sizing your positions and capitalizing on your advantage repeatedly, you can progressively work towards achieving your financial goals. This principle applies across various investment approaches, whether it be long-term investing or day trading.

You can start by dollar-cost averaging instead of buying a lump sum at once.

[@bannistervoid]

Excellent point sir. Your second sentence is dead on and I agree 100%. The only problem I see with your first sentence is that the Fed has raised interest rates so fast that the effects of this have yet to truly hit home with corporate earnings. By the time the economic indicators contract (which should happen sometime this spring/summer) it will be too late for the Fed to react. It's no coincidence that in reality every recession starts when rates start FALLING, contrary to what everyone thinks and what's supposed to happen. Bond yields have plummeted in the last 2 months, which I believe is a warning sign of a bear market but is being interpreted as the exact opposite. The only tool left for the Fed will be another round of stimulus which will send the M2 skyrocketing and will trigger the type of inflation we saw in the 70's. So to summarize, the hyperinflation you refer to as "inevitable" may be much closer than we think. Inflation is the killer of capitalism, just look at Argentina, Venezuela, Greece, and the Weimar republic of Germany in the 1920's. The only way to avoid this is for the Fed to cut off the spending and let the stock market regulate itself by crashing like it was supposed to in 2008 and 2020.

[@jamesallen7543]

There are multiple economies in Europe that are spending more as a % of GDP than the US is, and they’re already in recession.

[@JorgeOrpinel]

You've been predicting an imminent recession for like 3 years (at least).

[@BradleyBishop]

I think the video is sound. Generally speaking, however, I think you're right. We've been hearing "recession" (except it's not -white house) for a good number of years. 2008 was bad. Name brand restaurants closing up on the side of the road bad (McDonald's, KFC, Waffle House, etc.). You could pull off an exit and find that there's literally no place to grab a sandwich. I hadn't seen that before in my lifetime. What we're in right now is different. Never before had the government shut down everything for a year plus. (and, if we learned anything from that: never again). At the same time you have job opening signs everywhere but no one seems to want to work. Inflation is bad - we all see that (except the white house), but that's what you get for paying people to be home and do nothing for several years - the loss in the value of currency. At the same time, interest rates have gone up, we've experienced supply change issues, some of this is best seen at the car dealers with the roller coaster they're on: - everyone stay home (car sales go down) - car production goes down - dwindling / almost no cars on the lot - dealers take advantage (not saying they're wrong) and start adding dealer markups to the tune of $5-10+K. - car lots start filling back up. - car sales are down further - car lots are overflowing and now dealers are paying interest on cars they can't sell - somewhere in there manufacturers raised MSRP - "because" (I get keeping with inflation but a good number of them are well over that figure) It's pretty well screwed now. With higher interest rates people can't afford the car hey once could and now that car is $30K more. Same bit with housing. If you were thinking about buying, now it's rougher because the interest rates are up. All of that should put a drag on the economy... Still... I see people eating out, regularly, and doing things and I think this may be part of the COVID nonsense. Essentially I think people are in the "I've already hunkered down for 1+ years (depending on where you live). I'm done with that." I just think we're in unprecedented waters right now and it's not quite like the clockwork picture painted in the video or what people normally expect.

I think the problem with trying to predict a recession through indicators and data is to liken a recession to a thing rather than a circumstance. Every recession had a unique cause. A recession is like an economy telling a crazy story to its buddies at the bar. They are closer to case studies than they are some data point. The reason I'm skeptical of this analysis is because the worst seems honestly behind us. Inflation is down from its highs, unemployment is low, some of the biggest bank failures ever didnt lead to a contagion. I will be willing to change my mind if I am wrong.

I love this! Investors were and still are so hype that the stock market ended on a positive note. However all we did was go in a circle over the last 2 years. We have yet to crack 4818.62 on the S&P 500 index. On top of that the stock market is not the economy so the dynamics will always tell a different story. Not to mentioned the fed funds rate has been held steady at 5.50%. The lag effect has yet to kick in. Just like Eric mentioned the yield curve inversion of the 10yr &3mo have been inverted for quite some time. Historically the inversion has a 70% success ratio, but it might have changed. Honestly I really like this indicator that eric mentioned. People get far too bullish as soon as we get a little movement in a positive direction without considering where we are in the tightening cycle. We still have to go through interest rate cuts. while the economy reacts to everything else happening. Not to mention geopolitical tensions, and an unsustainable pile of debt. Of course we never know exactly how things will play out. but I'm excited to see what happens over the next 5 years. Great video!

[@mattc1817]

They all have "occasional" false signals. However, they are not likely to all have false signals all at the same time. It's basically taking all signals and averaging together, lessening the impact of a false signal from one or two of the indicators. It's a similar philosophy to repeating an experiment 1000 times and taking the average of the result. You may have some outliers, but by averaging it all it gives you a decent idea of what will happen. My potential criticism and question though, based on light research, is that this index seems to place alot of weight on goods as opposed to services, where services make up a much bigger portion of the US economy. But perhaps it still works.

This has been my view too. I'm still in equities until that yeild curve inversion starts to get close to reverting. There will be trouble soon after. I'd say we see the start of it by the summer when some of those larger rate hikes hit their 18 month mark.

[@Ganzieddongs]

My question to you is why does reverting of yield curve is trouble?

[@Earthium]

Same I didn't know about this indicator I was looking off the inverted yield curve. It looks like when the yield starts normalizing then things fall into a recession. As much as people have been demanding fed cuts, it's almost always during fed cuts when the market drops. Been saving money the past year putting it in CDs, been rather nice. Probably buy my first house if a crash happens put like 50% down.

[@fredm1]

While investors are preparing to celebrate the year's soft landing, economic data doesn't appear to be cooperating, I’ve heard testimonies of people accruing over $250k in this current market. Please what measures can I take to ensure this?

[@aureliobjm]

A solid strategy can be a key component of an investor’s portfolio. Well, the bigger the risk, the bigger the reward and such impeccable decisions are better guided by professionals.

[@josephbush]

Thats why having the right plan is invaluable, my portfolio is well-matched for every season of the market and recently hit 100% rise fromm early last year. I and my CFP are working on a 7 figure ballpark goal, tho this could take till Q3 2024

[@MarvishaN]

@josephbush I highly suspect i'm much too small game to handle investing myself recently, figured out it will be good to consult a professional this new year, could you be kind enough with details of your advisor please?

[@josephbush]

She goes by 'Heather Lee Larioni'. I choose to delegate my excesses to her because of her great expertise. I suggest you look her up. To be honest, almost didn't buy the idea of letting someone handle growing my finances, but so glad I did!!!

[@MarvishaN]

Just found her page, and sent an email to schedule a meeting. Hopefully, she responds soon. Thank you

[@AngelicStreak]

Where is that a *leading* index? It always plunges into the red zone only after the recession had already started. It is a lagging indicator, albeit with a very short lag. But definitely not leading.

[@jimmyz5831]

It also predicts that the market will continue to go up. Assuming you can't predict bottoms and tops this seems to support investing.

[@fionn1206]

So i have a bit of money that i want to invest. should i invest all in my selected etfs or invest about 50% and keep the rest as a cash reserve for a possible recession

What do you think on the Private credit sector? Do you think it will be the domino that tilts the stock market?

Why does the recent drop is not that sharp and seems flat? Past drops look sharp with sharp recovery. What is the reason for that?

[@geraldt331]

I was advised to diversify my portfolio among several assets such as stocks and bonds since this can protect my portfolio for retirement. I'm seeking to invest $200K across markets but don't know where to start.

The professionals presently control the market since they not only have the essential business strategy but also have access to inside information that the general public is not aware of.

[@yeslahykcim]

I agree, having a brokerage advisor for investing is genius! Amidst the financial crisis in 2008, I was really having investing nightmare prior touching base with a advisor. In a nutshell, i've accrued over $2m with the help of my advisor from an initial $350k investment.

[@luiz_bossen]

As someone young and new in the economy and stock market, the video is very good and informative, but i still to some degree struggle to conclude, so the indicators point to a recession sometime in 2024, if rules are followed?

[@Luuseens]

Good video. I would suggest not changing the colour coding between slides, as GDI/GDP switch colours at approx 5:42 mark, which can be confusing if the viewer does not look at the legend again.

What is different this time is the massive and sustained government borrowing. Way different.

most stocks are down or flat since 2021. Does it make sense that the stock market would crash when in the past few years its already been so terrible excluding the mag 7 stocks?

[@leejaile9387]

I don't think there will be a crash, but one point to argue is that stocks grew in 2021 because FED was pumping money like there was no tomorrow, now its the case, wether those small stocks would grow past 2021 without FED pumping?

[@milk9720]

man I love EPB research . daaam your content is awesome love you love you

[@BangMaster96]

The Government (State & Federal included) employs about 22 million People, that's 13% of all People currently employed in the US. The Government also accounts for 35% to 45% of the US GDP. So, in reality, a huge percentage of the American Economy depends on Government spending. Hence why we have all this inflation, it's because the Government continues to borrow and spend Money into the Economy, and it's not letting the Private Free Market crash and correct itself through a real recession. This can only work for so long, until even the Government can't do anything about the failing Economy, you have to let a wildfire burn the Forrest in order to allow new trees to grow, otherwise the entire Forrest ecosystem collapses. The Government isn't allowing recession to burn the Economy, hence, it might end up causing the entire System and the Currency to collapse, like what happened in Zimbabwe, or Venezuela.

[@good8072]

Quick correction- the government accounts for about 18% of US GDP not 35%-45%. You may be confusing government outlays to GDP with government consumption. In addition, your claim that the currency may collapse like Zimbabwe or Venezuela is hyperbolic. The US stock market accounts for 62% of the worlds market cap and US consumer markets are larger than China India and the EU combined. All of these assets will always be denominated in USD. The currency is also backed by labor productivity which is the highest in the world.

[@manumaunman]

Whats the chart type @2.32 .. Possible to code that in Python

[@HappilyNorth]

is there a M/W/D chart for this on trading view or similar?

[@helokitty991]

So there is a possibility that the economy is in recession but the stock market is not, as far as Fed print enough money to buy as much as others sell

[@wildcsgotactics]

Can someone explain the reasons why GDI is more explanatory than GDP at the beginning of recessions?

[@spoonwinnipeg2021]

It's doubtful that they can.

[@OTDefense]

Great info as always. Question I have is has there every been such a 'printing of money' as in recent years? Could the 'new' money be raising the economy in such a manner that it prevents a recession as predicted by the CBLI? At the costs of elevated prices, high stock markets and realty to account for the 'new' 6 trillion infusion?

[@Kreativedata]

The conference board Leading Economic Index (LEI) is no longer forecasting a recession this year on Feb 20th's release. Are your indicators telling the same story ?

[@trappart9209]

Did you see the chart? I only found the one where in January it is still in recessionary territory

[@Kreativedata]

@@trappart9209 the conference board Feb 2024 release is on their website. on the third paragraph, it says " While no longer forecasting a recession in 2024, we do expect real GDP growth to slow to near zero percent over Q2 and Q3.”

[@bakedbrotatoes]

The biggest reason we haven't had a recession (despite yield curve inversion) is because of out of control deficit spending pumping the economy with printed money. Biden has taken the stance that balooning debt to levels that eventually will destroy the worlds reserve currency, is better than allowing a politically infavorable recession. Look at the forecast of us debt and the cost of servicing that debt... It's soon and it's very scary. Took me a while to figure out why the recession hasn't started yet... Deficit spending is the reason. Great video!

[@timm7128]

Needs to fix the audio, it is too hot and is clipping... ouch

[@renzoleon7856]

Excellent work Erick. You are the Best!!

[@MaxPower-11]

Just wanted to point out that since this video came out, the LEI has continued to trend upwards and the gap between GDP and GDI has narrowed, putting into question the predictive ability of these two measures, at least in the current cycle.

[@thomasglover1327]

I take reaffirment from my position we are in a 70s Carter Stagflation/deathspiral. 2-3 years of no capital growth. The stockmarket looks great cause its not a physical product. The hope is the rally up after pays off or the informational currency will evaporate given too long a delay. I feel a strong amount of risk to over exsposure to any stocks in general a broad and wide with other securities approach ect.

[@cmilkau]

If you combine 10 indicators, you have at least 9 free parameters how to do so (e.g. for a weighted average). Now to make a function that predicts 8 values (crises) you could use completely useless indicators, and simply adjust these 9 parameters so that it perfectly matches the prediction you want. Obviously, the predictive power of that combined metric would be null. Now, you could say you actually have to predict more values as these indicators predict both start and end of the crises, but I guess you get the point. We know the indicators are *not* completely useless on their own and there are similarities between the crises, but you really have to be very careful interpreting too much into highly complex metrics on such a small dataset.

[@trappart9209]

I appreciate your perspective. Could you explain please what would be a legitimate alternative to this?

[@GeneralChangFromDanang]

I wonder how insane amounts of money printing affects these numbers. I'm assuming that's why GDP is not very accurate anymore, seeing as it includes government spending.

[@zaidlaffta]

When you are talking about economy, it is slim to impossible to predict a recession and how deep it will be. I agree that all indicator pointing to a recession at the end of Q2-Q3 this year, but that can change.
