Royal Bank of Scotland economists have urged investors to sell everything except high-quality bonds, warning of a fairly cataclysmic year ahead.

Writing in a client note dated Jan. 8, the banks European rates research team said that clients should be concentrating on return of capital, not return on capital, and that an ominous outlook to the world economy all looks similar to 2008.

The Key Points

The note is particularly bearish on China and global commodities, and predicts that oil could fall as low as $16 a barrel.
In a grim set of predictions, Andrew Roberts, head of European economics, rates & CEEMEA research said that the world has far too much debt to be able to grow well.
He also warned that advances in technology and automation are set to wipe out up to half of all jobs in the developed world.
The note says equities could fall 10% to 20%.
It predicts the year will be spent focusing on how to exit positions that have benefited from long-running QE, including emerging markets, credit and equities.

A 10 to 20% fall in equities certainly isn't a long shot. QE has produced a long run-up in stock prices, and on average, we see a market correction of 10% every two years and a 20% correction every five years. Still, the advice to "sell everything" seems a bit much.

Selling everything may be the right thing to do than risking your investments and watching them breakdown. Its much better to sell and buy bitcoins. Bitcoins is much safer that those commodities like oil, etc. Investing on bitcoin shall uplift those who lost a large amount on those commodities. Its time to rise up again by beginning a new. Why waste time to the things that the experts have detected fleeting, it will not be projected to lose without any major reasons.

The business of buying and selling bitcoins is much better than you are going to put it on any investments that you are unsure of.
Because you must be optimistic on your investment.
And selling bitcoins is a good thing and can give you good profit it is better if the price is high.
