Trump has destroyed our economy. We need a Democrat to save us.
hahaha – the democrats are what killed the economy. They oversaw all the shutdowns. 🙂 I’m assuming you’re kidding.
They would’ve done the same thing also. They’re in joint agreement.
@cyberstrike19791 Republicans were no different. Trump is a Republican and he ordered a national emergency and shutdown.
Biden will save you. 🤣🤣🤣
We are in a tailspin of a depression and that means… “We have become our own horror movie.” W.J.
a government created DEPRESSION made by politicians. VOTE ALL THESE IDIOTS OUT. Re-elect NOBODY. Especially those in leadership like McConnell and Graham
Trump=the destroyer-in-chief!
The Fed, corrupt career politicians, a 20 year wasteful war, & decades of outsourcing to other countries…
Although he hasn’t made a difference, blaming Trumpy for everything is absolutely uninformed & ignorant.
@̈ Trump openly came into office announcing he was willing to destroy the global economy to sever supply chain links with China, and he initiated a pointless and destructive trade war to that effect. The virus only accelerates excuses to do what the Trump was already doing. Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it.
Its priced in!
We’re in a recession…
No we were in the recession since 08 2008 this is it turn into a depression since a couple months ago they say 29 million Americans file for unemployment I think it’s more like 50 they’re not telling us the real numbers
@CHARLES POWERS The economy expanded through 2009-2019, even if people’s lives didn’t improve. Recessions have a technical definition.
@CHARLES POWERS Most of the unemployment agencies have been closed, clogged, broken and some just now have a web portal that can handle the new criteria. In short, we have no idea what the real number of those in need of unemployment are.
Global debt clock= minus trillions. QE = mickey mouse money😱
Bring production and jobs back to US. Pharmaceuticals, tecnology, etc. We should have our own manufacturing capacity and food should be grown and distributed locally to increase resilience in case of supply disruption.
Would you pay $5000 for an iPhone
Unless we are willing to give our US companies Corporate welfare) they can’t compete on the cheap side…
Yes Beth it’s true.
Easier said than done. Would need an industrial strategy to achieve that.
Fod supplies…. Farmers destroying crops and throwing milk away not to mention all the animals. Borders not open. Grow your own indoors. Youtube it.
Very optimistic, I think!!! They always talk it up. They have a vested interested in keeping the ball in the air.
Keep your heads down folks
The stock market is rigged by trump who’s trying to get re-elected. Buy stock puts against market with expiration in 2021 to get around decay or naked short the market entirely.
you are absolutely correct, our monetary system is a steaming pile of trash that has been in decline for a couple decades now. I believe that Trump knew this going into the office, He has to buy votes to get a second term. He wants to go back to a Gold standard. The debt was 20 Trillion in 2016 it is a failed system that cannot be saved. Do some heavy study into the last 600 years and currencies rise and fall out of dominance 8 times. we are no different than any other dominant country in history, it is a story that repeats over and over. The dollar is dieing, with or without trump.
jh1keener very true
Trump said we are in a big fat ugly bubble before he was elected and that the Fed was making political decisions. Those decisions continued into his presidency with the raising of interest rates which led to the Christmas crash in ‘18 and once the Fed backed off rates the market magically went up to new record highs. Trump can pressure the Fed all he wants but they haven’t reacted to his criticisms, they have reacted to the markets, he has little to do with this ‘V shaped recovery’. But the Fed has overplayed their hand and there are tons of sound bytes that trump will have to stand on to blame the Fed once this crashes for real. He will be re-elected regardless of what happens n the near term, Biden objectively has no chance with his latest hair smelling fiasco.
The fed has been doing this before Trump.
@jh1keener yeah … I looked at the global debt clock 2019 minus trillions. Started prepping and growing food plants indoors.

We are entering a dangerous deflationary cycle and when everyone rushes back to work, working for corporations that only pay their workers the VERY LEAST they possibly can get away with, that will only increase the downward spiral of deflation.
They print money like mad because they are aware of the deflation that looms overhead bearing down on our nation but they refuse to acknowledge that if they want to increase consumer spending (the economy) then they better give the American people more of the money that they print instead of giving it all to the corporate socialists that take government handouts but these executives refuse to pay their own workers more money because they want to buy back their own stocks.
Here is a simple solution: corporate America pays for their employees personal protection so we can go back to work and be safe, they increase our pay because they have taken our tax money and give themselves raises and bonuses while they repurchase their stock, and finally the government inject more stimulus income DIRECTLY TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE IT IS OUR FUCKING TAX MONEY.
If this does not happen I would consider a deflationary depression extremely likely, tell me how are you going to restart a consumer-based economy with corporate America paying their employees like $9 dollars an hour?
GOOD LUCK WITH THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I agree with your sentiment of anger, but how will we face deflation when the fed printed $5 trillion over the last weeks? Inflation is going to explode and our money is going the way of venezuela albeit clearly not to that extreme.
RIGHT ON AMIGO CAPITALISM AT WORK
@james morton This is centrally planned capitalism. Free market capitalism would’ve devoured these companies days ago.
So what the hell should we do as individuals with our money? Stocks? Save? Gold?
Tom Thumb easier said than done. Most people still have a 30 year term.
Pisa Get on the first plane, fly down to Florida and take a cruise. No one on plane or ship and VERY affordable ✈️🛳🍹🍱💃🏼🕺🏻or go back to sleep 😄
Have some cash at home. If something big happens not sure banks will be open and if they are, the queues will be ….. Buy bit of gold. Buy food and necessities.
The chance of a bail in and infinite printing means saving cash might be bad idea… for medium term… compared to paying off your mortgage, if you have assets people tend to flock to and there is hyperinflation you could end up paying off a mortgage for the price of loaf of bread… lets see how low things go.
Get you some gold miners, GOLD, AEM, NEM, and WPM.
Grow food plants indoors. Get a campervan. Farmers are destroying their crops and throwing milk away. No food= no people
@Individual Thinker If they don’t destroy their crops they won’t make a profit.
3 years, ya it’s BAD.
At a guess.
We are in a depression 30million plus unemployed
It’s a forced depression.
Wait until October
Lift lockdown then! More people will die in a depression than this virus!
That’s the whole point……
This guy keeps naming off things going south, yet his optimism is months. Doesn’t add up. Then mentions 3 yrs. Head for the hills.
Monitoring always
Wow, more bullish news, bet the DOW will have the best gainz in history
WPA and fix our infrastructure
CERCARIA the LAST thing we need is MORE Keynesian economics
We need a vaccine fast if we want to go back to normal. Or something that would help save lifes if we get infected. Those two things in place sounds safe to me.
Global debt clock=minus trillions, numbers spinning like crazy. There is never going to be a normal.
If you can get out of big cities DO.
Small towns will be wiped out by this depression. Terrible advice. If anything do the exact opposite, hold on to your legal title to dense urban housing at any possible cost.
@Wobbo everyone can grow food. Maybe invest in a campervan.
The worst place to be right now is a city or large town. Rioting is around the world, a few weeks from now😱 grow your own food from food in water or soil. Youtube it. Mine are growing indoors.
As as prepper I have a lot food supplies, ammo, gold and silver as well as 2 acres of land
USA is now “Trump Airlines”.
Those are the real numbers.
I will never buy 1 800 Flowers again!!!! I hate these adds!!
A recession is defined as two quarters of negative growth.A depression is where you can’t even get out of bed.
I’m the second one and have been for a long time.😷
They are not figuring in the deflation.
Simple answer – we won’t have a sufficient testing regime and this thing comes roaring back in a second wave. Just like the Spanish flu.
Cash on hand when reopens?
When so many people are out of job?
This guy doesnt know what hes on about
Black persons daily struggles welcome aboard
Grow up.
Why can’t these freaking experts realize they can’t buy because of no job and no money!!!! Geeez
Susan Kelly exactly
Haters special alert!!!!! It was Democrats and MSM who didn’t want to reopen America not Trump!!
Black people have been in a recession from day one. What we are very accustomed to going thru, let’s see how well they handle it.
A lot big companies will soon be laying off people which is recession then if you get affected, to you it becomes depression why the wise ones keep investing, don’t be foolish now is a very critical period.
Franklin Hardy The smart ones know to avoid the distractions and focus on investments now as the world economy will definitely need some re-adjustments and a lot more people will be in debts. Bitcoin, stocks, Forex, Bonds anything goes as far as you have the guide of an expert. Mr Alex Paton has really been a great influence.

The importance of diversifying one’s portfolio is very underestimated, having different streams of income can only save you from recession and trading is a goldmine with few miners.
Right now is the time investors spend money to get it to work for them. The rich are steady buying stocks now and most trading the forex market because the world is sure to go into recession soon.
Thanks a lot for the recommendation
Nobody working means a major Depresssion and don’t blame Trump
30M unemployed IS a depression you dolts.
The time has come for the 25 million illegals for them to go home! It’s time, illegals! Go home! You are not welcome here! Trump 2020!
These suits keep telling people lies, when the facts are the real reality. Government’s late payments to businesses, and the fact that we were already headed before the virus, as quiet as it’s been kept!!! The Statistics don’t lie!
