1) Stocks will crash by 2016 and will mark new 15-20 year lows.
2) Precious metals will survive better but will also decline first before rallying strongly. It is key to own physical precious metal, not paper certificates.
3) The US Dollar will initially fare better against other currencies (particularly against the EUR), but then crash as well and may disappear in its current form by 2017-2018.
4) Overall asset prices and prices of goods will decline = we are in a unprecedented deflation.
Are you saying stocks will crash by January 1st 2016? So within one year and 3.5 months?
So if USD will fare better than other currencies and you hold 90% USD, when USD crashes and disappears where will you move your money in 2017-2018?
Great questions!
First, timing is the most difficult to forecast. Price is easier. Along those lines, the S&P 500 will crash at least to a lower low than in 2009 in USD terms. Quite probably it will fall even lower into the 100 point range. In terms of timing, I'd give a range between 2016 and 2017.
We will keep trying to narrow down the timing in the forecasting work we do.
Second, when moving out of USD? I will probably move a high percentage into physical hold and silver stored in a safe location like at safe store from safewealth.com. And only keep the needed cash in local currencies to survive and buy food.
