Ignore the Financial Media… Now is the Time to Prepare
“Buy stocks! It’s a great opportunity! They present great value.”
This is the non-stop mantra espoused on financial media. It’s simply astounding given that
1) Everyone with a modicum of sense knows stocks are in a bubble
2) Financial media viewership is plunging to multi-decade lows (you think they’d consider changing the content?)
Here are a few thoughts no one in the mainstream financial media seems to address.
First of all, corporate insiders are dumping shares at a pace not seen since 2000.
That’s correct. The folks who know more about their companies and future growth prospects than anyone in the world are unloading their shares as quickly as possible.
Investment legends are doing the same. Warren Buffett, perhaps the single biggest fan of stocks in the last 100 years is currently sitting on over $50 billion in cash. Buffett’s partner Charlie Munger recently commented that he has not bought a single stock in his personal portfolio in over two years.
Aside from Buffett and Munger, Carl Icahn, Stanley Druckenmiller and numerous other investment legends have warned of a potential market catastrophe. George Soros has even taken out a record size bet on the market collapsing.
Beyond the legends, institutional investors have been net sellers of stocks for most of 2014. The same goes for hedge funds. Do you think they’d be doing this if they thought stocks were offering a lot of opportunities and value today?
Market volume is collapsing to a dwindle and fewer and fewer companies area participating in the rally. Both of these are clear signs of a top forming. Nearly half of the stocks on the NASDAQ are down over 20% from their recent peaks.
Global growth is slowing down sharply. The only non-manipulated economic data point out of China (electricity consumption) shows GDP growth there is HALF of the official 7.5%. In Europe, Italy is back in recession for the third time since 2008. Germany’s economy contracted in the second quarter of 2014 and will likely be in recession before the first quarter of 2015. France has registered zero growth for six months now. And the US is showing anemic growth if any.
So we have corporate insiders selling the farm, investment legends warning of a collapse, institutional investors selling stocks, and global growth slowing rapidly.
And now is the time to buy stocks?
No, now is the time to prepare.

Mason Jars and PMs................................
Pool cues... they use a weight usually 4-6 oz threaded into the butt. Remove the steel weight and use your own. Brings a new meaning to a 4k custom cue.
"Silentium est aurum"
PMs ? I am getting old Sorry I saw the post above Portfolio Managers... DAH
As I am a tadpole in the shark tank, PMs = silver, copper, and lead.
you are mostly correct, but you forgot gold, paladium, and platinum.
But that lead needs to be full copper jacket and in mass quantities to protect the rest.
Orrrr... it could be Portfolio Managers. I hear there's a surplus of them just now. Should be able to pick up a couple dozen of them cheap.
and DJIA is up 80 points? Its simple, its all an illusion. We truly live in a matrix.
We need Neo and Morpheus about now.
I should have taken the fucking blue pill.
"Welcome to the real world"
Agreed. Sorting through the BS anymore is a full time job in istelf. I've taken the position that anything coming from someone trying to sell me something or convince me of their position is all BS unless proven otherwise. So far it's made sorting through the ever deepening pile a bit easier.
Sell your house and buy more stawks! /s
No no buy gold and silver so you can loose your ass like i have. All this collapse bullshit is exactly that. Ive been preparing for 6 years and this is old. Same shitty story and I missed the bus as allways. I hate to admit but mayb someone dosnt do as I did and buy this bullshit. But hey unless I sell i dont loose maybe in 25 years they will come back and ill break even.
Buying gold and silver is not about making money. It is about getting new religion. The dollar is not to be worshipped anymore.
The dollar is a Cult, worshipping on a ship called the Titanic, wake up and get to the life boats. Yes you are now stranded at sea while the boat keeps going to towards the sea ice, you know it will hit and probably sink, but you are having doubts about sitting in the lifeboat. We have insane people at the wheel of the ship if they don't sink the ship in the first 5 mins it will happen soon enough.
Stop measuring the quality of your life in the value of your assets in dollar terms. Start measuring in the books you read, the friends you make, recipes you have cooked, the food you have grown, the clothing that you have learned to sew. Divorce yourself from the Matrix.
Now that makes sense prepared thanks I needed the reminder
I can sell my 2003 $6 silver all day long and still come out ahead. Sold off my $4 when the wife got sick...still have about forty pounds at various costs, all but ten ounces are less than $10.
True but i cant sell my 2009-2014 at any gain so if you bought before that time period great and if I were to do it today i would wait till it hit 6$ again and the way they are manipulating we will be there shortly. Again untill someone with sense stops printing monopoly money and that goes for ETF gold and silver that nothing will change. Ill never get how paper PM can effect the physical
no no no don't sell your house to buy stocks, a savvy investor would mortgage it!

I have to give anyone an up vote who uses the phrase "buy more stawks!"
many are missing the /s
Buy more STAWKS is correct. Crazy you say? Look -- 60% of the currency in the world is in U.S. dollars and losing value every month. The only good think left to do with U.S. dollars is to buy condos in Miami or stocks of companies that might survive after the dollar loses reserve status. (Gold might be an option but only physical since it gets monkey hammered every day by naked shorts.) The global demand will continue to drive the stocks forward.
So I think stocks of solid companies are still a good long term wealth preservation play.
no no no, trade them for USD!
