1 00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:17,200 Speaker 1: Pretty everyone, Welcome to another episode of the Market Disruptor Show. Today, 2 00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:20,560 Speaker 1: I am joined by Harry Dent, someone I'm super excited 3 00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:24,320 Speaker 1: to talk to somebody I've been following for shoot now 4 00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:27,080 Speaker 1: almost fifteen years, and I love his work and so 5 00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:30,040 Speaker 1: I'm excited to talk to him. So Harry, welcome and 6 00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:34,559 Speaker 1: thanks for coming on. Yeah, nice to be here. More so, um, obviously, 7 00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:36,479 Speaker 1: like I said, I've been following you for like fifteen years. 8 00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:38,360 Speaker 1: I've read all your books, watched all your videos, but 9 00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:40,000 Speaker 1: not everybody knows who you are, So maybe just kind 10 00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,839 Speaker 1: of give us a quick background on on what you've 11 00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:44,839 Speaker 1: been doing, what your experiences, and kind of what you're 12 00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:47,520 Speaker 1: working on. Yeah. Yeah, I kind of called myself first 13 00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:51,720 Speaker 1: a rogue economist and an accidental accomomist. I studied business. 14 00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:54,160 Speaker 1: I took economics for a few courses of the major 15 00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:56,880 Speaker 1: then gave up. I just thought it was useless and 16 00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:59,200 Speaker 1: really didn't apply to much, and so I took all 17 00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:02,200 Speaker 1: types of business stuff and went to Harvard Business School 18 00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:06,440 Speaker 1: and then consulted the Fortune one hundred companies at Banning Company. 19 00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:08,360 Speaker 1: But I tell you the big change in my career, 20 00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:12,160 Speaker 1: I took a turnaround for a company and publishing company 21 00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:16,080 Speaker 1: in California and just got into the whole small business 22 00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:20,120 Speaker 1: entrepreneurial arena where you're seeing people creating the future rather 23 00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:24,840 Speaker 1: than fortune one. They're always managing the path older generations 24 00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:29,119 Speaker 1: and customers. So I discovered the baby boom, which my 25 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:33,280 Speaker 1: new clients were appealing to when they were young, just 26 00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:36,480 Speaker 1: entering the workforce and starting new trends. And so I 27 00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:39,760 Speaker 1: studied the baby boom, and I said, whoa, people have 28 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,320 Speaker 1: no idea what's coming up the economy. This is a 29 00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 1: massive generation of people, and they're also very innovative, and 30 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:49,960 Speaker 1: then there their change makers. And so I started studying 31 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,880 Speaker 1: demographics and cycles and all types of stuff for my clients. 32 00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:56,960 Speaker 1: And by the late ay this was in the early eighties, 33 00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:59,080 Speaker 1: and by the late eighties, I had a whole basic 34 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:03,040 Speaker 1: you set up macroeconomic indicators that just came out of 35 00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:06,800 Speaker 1: my own research and experience and and worked really, really 36 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,679 Speaker 1: well until the central banks came along and decided they'll 37 00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 1: just print five trillion dollars every time someone goes something 38 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:14,800 Speaker 1: goes wrong, so we can never have a recession. But 39 00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:19,960 Speaker 1: it's my indicators. I I focus on people, not governments. 40 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,080 Speaker 1: Governments are the caboose, not the engine of the train. 41 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:29,079 Speaker 1: Consumers are seventy GDP. Business capital investment only expand if 42 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 1: consumers are expanding. And then they have a tender cent 43 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,320 Speaker 1: the rest of its government and all they do is react. 44 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:36,400 Speaker 1: What are they doing now we have a recession? They 45 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 1: react and print you know, Uh, it's a inflation gets 46 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,240 Speaker 1: too high, they react and and raise the interest rate. 47 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,800 Speaker 1: They don't drive the economy. And that's why economists can't 48 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 1: predict anything. So so I just uh started writing the 49 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 1: first newsletter. In first book, which was was not was 50 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:59,360 Speaker 1: self published, I was I was lecturing a small business 51 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 1: CEO of around the world, and that was my hand out. 52 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,480 Speaker 1: And uh, and then my first book, The Great Boom 53 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 1: Ahead in the early nineties. And and Mark, people think 54 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 1: I'm crazy today if you're saying we're gonna see the 55 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 1: biggest crash of our lifetime something like twenty nine to 56 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,880 Speaker 1: thirty two. Back then, I was saying, this boom is 57 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:20,760 Speaker 1: gonna be way greater. Japan is gonna collapse. Who was 58 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:24,239 Speaker 1: the leader up and coming leader back then? And and 59 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 1: and We're gonna have the greatest boom in history. And 60 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,920 Speaker 1: people say heron, what do you use smoking well, I 61 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,800 Speaker 1: was smoking the right stuff. I was looking at demographics 62 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 1: and generation cycles and uh, so you know that great 63 00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 1: boom happened and forever sent. So I became you know, 64 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 1: my first newsletter nine. But I basically became an economist 65 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 1: right there in the late eighties early nineties. Instead of 66 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 1: a business consultant, I switched over. And so that's what 67 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 1: I do now. And uh, economists still hate me because 68 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 1: I don't use any of their knowledge, you know what 69 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,000 Speaker 1: I mean? People say, oh, Harry, I'm month, I'm thinking 70 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 1: of major in economics. I'm like, let me give you 71 00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 1: a couple of books. Don't waste your time. I don't 72 00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:08,760 Speaker 1: know what they're gonna learn, because I only have one 73 00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:12,840 Speaker 1: good course in economics out of three. Uh, and that 74 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:17,039 Speaker 1: was about exactly today. You know how central banks can expand, well, 75 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 1: how the banking system can expand the money supply by 76 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:25,120 Speaker 1: lending against ten percent reserves, you know, deposits. So so 77 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:29,320 Speaker 1: other than that, I didn't learn anything. So so, but 78 00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:33,000 Speaker 1: I tell you the economy my big inside mar I mean, 79 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,160 Speaker 1: I don't just look at short term stuff. I have 80 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:37,320 Speaker 1: to my newsletter, which is a hard thing to do 81 00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 1: because that's less predicular long term trends are a piece 82 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 1: of cake. And you know what you listen to scientists. 83 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,800 Speaker 1: Scientists can pict when the fun is gonna burn out 84 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:49,520 Speaker 1: in five billion years if you pressed them, okay, and 85 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,360 Speaker 1: when the next ice age is gonna hit in eighty thousand. 86 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:56,120 Speaker 1: I mean, long term things are much easier because there's 87 00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,159 Speaker 1: only a few factors that drives on it if you 88 00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:02,160 Speaker 1: can identify those. And I, um, the generations growing up, 89 00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:05,920 Speaker 1: raising their kids, advancing their careers are the number one 90 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:09,200 Speaker 1: driver of the economy. And the way I learned to 91 00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:12,360 Speaker 1: predict it was a simple forty six year lag. Now 92 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 1: it's forty seven for the peak and spending of the 93 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,560 Speaker 1: average family. Can you get something in that, take the 94 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,600 Speaker 1: birth index, adjustin immigrants, which I can do with a 95 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,440 Speaker 1: computer model, and then just predict forward when they're going 96 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:27,680 Speaker 1: to spend the most money. Yeah, that's awesome. So just 97 00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:33,039 Speaker 1: to give some background and exactly what you're talking about, Harry, Um, 98 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:35,560 Speaker 1: what you what you write about in your books, and 99 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 1: so I have I have them. I've been reading this 100 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:39,560 Speaker 1: one since I think I got this one in two 101 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:41,920 Speaker 1: thousand six, um, and these other ones as they have 102 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,279 Speaker 1: come out. UM. And the big thing that stuck out 103 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:46,800 Speaker 1: to me here that was so convincing is exactly what 104 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:50,800 Speaker 1: you're talking about, which you look at the economy um 105 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,920 Speaker 1: through demographics, and so that's that's what you're saying. You're 106 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:59,600 Speaker 1: saying that people are predictable and they're spending habits and so, uh, 107 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:01,720 Speaker 1: you know, said something like, you know, in your early twenties, 108 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:03,880 Speaker 1: you're buying your first house, and you're getting into college, 109 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 1: and then thirty you're having your first kid, and by 110 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:08,640 Speaker 1: forty five you're your peak spending and now you have 111 00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 1: your bigger house and all those things. And so if 112 00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,800 Speaker 1: you can look at the population and then you can 113 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:15,400 Speaker 1: predict where the money is going to be spent, and 114 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,279 Speaker 1: it made so much sense. Our economy booms and bus 115 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:20,840 Speaker 1: from new generator. We had a forty nineteen forty two 116 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 1: to sixty eight was an upward boom in stocks and 117 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 1: the economy of the Bob Hope for World War two 118 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:28,479 Speaker 1: generations some people call it. And then you had a 119 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,400 Speaker 1: downward time in the seventies was high inflation. Oh, the 120 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:35,360 Speaker 1: inflation was coming from young, expensive baby boomers learning the workforce, 121 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 1: costing everybody from the government to their parents to businesses 122 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,760 Speaker 1: to incorporate them, and then when they entered the economy 123 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:46,239 Speaker 1: nineteen eighty three to two thousand seven, greatest boom in history, 124 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 1: and ever since, they stopped spending in two thousand and eight, 125 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:52,760 Speaker 1: and I called that recession from day one when the 126 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:56,480 Speaker 1: first time I had my spending Way vindicator in it 127 00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,599 Speaker 1: told me two thousand eight will be when the baby 128 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:02,440 Speaker 1: boom to slow down under spending and we go into 129 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,760 Speaker 1: an extended downturn. And guess what, We've been living off 130 00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:10,040 Speaker 1: a quantitative easy printing money to cover it over ever since. Right. 131 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 1: So um, yeah, like I said, it was so simple 132 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 1: and it made so much sense that it was just 133 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:16,920 Speaker 1: like I have to believe in. So really all of 134 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 1: everything I've done is based off of stuff I've learned 135 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:21,680 Speaker 1: from you, based off these demographics and and like like 136 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:24,600 Speaker 1: you said, right, the long terms easy. Um. The question 137 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:27,120 Speaker 1: that I have though, is that you know, you talk 138 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 1: about the demographics obviously, but then you use lots of cycles. 139 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:35,400 Speaker 1: You have cycles for everything from four year cycles, presidential cycles, 140 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:39,440 Speaker 1: you know, tech eight and ninety year cycles, um. And 141 00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 1: you go back hundreds of years to look at data, 142 00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:44,800 Speaker 1: and you'd say these, you know, these ninety year cycles 143 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:46,600 Speaker 1: and these four year cycles, and they converge and all 144 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:53,760 Speaker 1: this stuff. Um, the question that I've always had is that, um, 145 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:57,720 Speaker 1: things just seem to be different today, and how can 146 00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:01,240 Speaker 1: you go back three hundred years ago and use that 147 00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:03,880 Speaker 1: data for today? And so what I mean by different 148 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 1: I believe in the demographic spending and people are predictable, 149 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:11,760 Speaker 1: they're spending patterns. But really, night like one going off 150 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:15,240 Speaker 1: the gold standard changed the way the whole world works. 151 00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:18,640 Speaker 1: And now we've printed whatever three trillion dollars of debt 152 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:23,200 Speaker 1: in fifty years, which helped that baby boomer generation explode, 153 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:28,200 Speaker 1: helped the housing helped, the autumn helped all that. Um, 154 00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,400 Speaker 1: and that going forward is probably not gonna be the same. 155 00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:35,160 Speaker 1: So does that affect the way that demographics will spend 156 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,040 Speaker 1: their money if they don't have money available? And then 157 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:41,080 Speaker 1: how could that? How could history rhyme with that little 158 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:42,840 Speaker 1: period of time where we had a four hundred sillion 159 00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:45,840 Speaker 1: dollars of debt expansion? Okay? And the answer is yes enough. 160 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:50,200 Speaker 1: What I tell people long term cycles, generational cycles. And 161 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:53,240 Speaker 1: this was documented back thundreds of years by Strauss and 162 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 1: how in a book called Generations came out the same 163 00:08:55,520 --> 00:09:00,640 Speaker 1: time Michael first book. Did those generated they forty year 164 00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:04,360 Speaker 1: generation cycles back in the Bible, So that forty year 165 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:09,120 Speaker 1: rhythm that is a constant what happens in each generation cycle. 166 00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:11,440 Speaker 1: Of course, it's different when you can drive cars and 167 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 1: live in suburbs and have electricity up to your door 168 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:16,480 Speaker 1: and do all types of things you couldn't in the 169 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:20,560 Speaker 1: railroad era or something before that. So I say, instead 170 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:24,120 Speaker 1: of cycle, think of it like spirals. You get these spirals, 171 00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 1: you get higher levels because of technological innovation. Urbanization is massive. 172 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:32,839 Speaker 1: People living in cities who wait make way more money, 173 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:36,600 Speaker 1: have way more job opportunities, and specialization and all these 174 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:40,720 Speaker 1: sort of things. So there's always progress. The progress is 175 00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:44,160 Speaker 1: and this is one of my principles, exponential. There is 176 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:50,000 Speaker 1: no linear trends in history. Everything's exponential. So each generation 177 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:51,959 Speaker 1: is going to look back at the past and said, well, 178 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:55,640 Speaker 1: who're wrong with you? Rechard? You know, I mean, why 179 00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:58,199 Speaker 1: do you old people don't use the Internet and Facebook? 180 00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:01,040 Speaker 1: You know? Well that's what people it, you know. So 181 00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:04,560 Speaker 1: the generations will come on. But the Baby boom was 182 00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:07,199 Speaker 1: larger than north. I'll tell you another thing that that 183 00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:09,800 Speaker 1: hints that something you were saying that changed a lot 184 00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:13,240 Speaker 1: my demographic cycle. That fourty year cycle has always been there. 185 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:17,360 Speaker 1: It wasn't that important until after World War Two. And 186 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:21,040 Speaker 1: it was because the last generation, the boss Folk generation, 187 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:24,480 Speaker 1: was the first generation to inter the workforce again after 188 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:27,680 Speaker 1: World War Two into the fifties and sixties and be 189 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 1: able to afford a home on a thirty year mortgage 190 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:34,120 Speaker 1: and have middle class, high income. We didn't have a 191 00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:37,120 Speaker 1: middle class. You know who created the middle class, Henry 192 00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:39,760 Speaker 1: Ford and a bunch of innovators in early nineteen hundreds, 193 00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:45,360 Speaker 1: and that finally became easily accessible after World War Two. 194 00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:49,240 Speaker 1: So my demographic indicators would have always been helpful, but 195 00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:53,920 Speaker 1: they became powerful. I discovered this thing after middle class 196 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:58,600 Speaker 1: made demographics more important that forty year cycle. And then secondly, 197 00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:00,920 Speaker 1: just as the baby boom was about to enter the 198 00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:05,000 Speaker 1: economy and just magnify it. I mean I saw, I 199 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,520 Speaker 1: was telling people this boom is going to the down. 200 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:09,400 Speaker 1: I said the Dow was gonna hit ten thousand by 201 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:12,600 Speaker 1: two thousand. This was in ninth late eighties, when it 202 00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:16,360 Speaker 1: was to to three thousand. People are that's not even possible. 203 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:19,760 Speaker 1: Well it happened. I underwrated hit twelve thousand, you know, 204 00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:25,040 Speaker 1: um so, so magnitude can change the technologies and where 205 00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:27,839 Speaker 1: we live. I mean suburbs are different than cities and 206 00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:32,280 Speaker 1: farms and and and and uh. And which countries are dominating, 207 00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:35,800 Speaker 1: I mean right now that the western countries are fading, 208 00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:41,280 Speaker 1: even the East um Asian countries, Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, 209 00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:45,000 Speaker 1: Taiwan and South Korea peaking here recently. Japan was the 210 00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:47,840 Speaker 1: first developed country to peak. That's why they had their 211 00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:51,040 Speaker 1: bubble in stock, their bubble in real estate. First. They're 212 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,760 Speaker 1: big crash. You know. My best forecast, I'm not known 213 00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:57,160 Speaker 1: for this mark. My best forecast was in nine nine, 214 00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:00,800 Speaker 1: predicting that Japan was gonna collapse for twelve to fourteen 215 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,400 Speaker 1: years and going to deep down terms while the rest 216 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:05,679 Speaker 1: of the world US and Europe that were lagging in 217 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:09,600 Speaker 1: the time would have the greatest boom in history. People 218 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:13,320 Speaker 1: looked at me like I was a nut, because everybody 219 00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:16,920 Speaker 1: was like, oh, we could just be like Japan, more efficient, 220 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:20,000 Speaker 1: you know, blah blah blah. You know, No, they didn't. 221 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:23,400 Speaker 1: They didn't lead any Did they lead semiconductors or personal 222 00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:27,400 Speaker 1: computers or internet. No, they were just copy cast. So 223 00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:31,040 Speaker 1: so what's what's the quality may change? But the cycles 224 00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:34,959 Speaker 1: ninety years if you look back send stock exchanges the 225 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,400 Speaker 1: create in late seventeen nineers that a long term chart. 226 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:39,959 Speaker 1: There is one thing that will stand out, like the 227 00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:42,559 Speaker 1: heart peat on your e k G every second. It's 228 00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:46,400 Speaker 1: that ninety year cycle you mentioned super bubbles. Those are 229 00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 1: every two technology cycles. Of technology cycles are forty five years. 230 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:55,439 Speaker 1: And that's like the clocks them, ships, railroads, automobiles, jet 231 00:12:55,800 --> 00:13:01,440 Speaker 1: in transportation forty five year peace just like a heart beat. Yeah, 232 00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:05,800 Speaker 1: that and and and and people. People decide how fast 233 00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:09,160 Speaker 1: those new technologies turning on an S curve of how 234 00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:12,040 Speaker 1: they adopt them. So the S curve is another prediction 235 00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:15,720 Speaker 1: tool I use when it comes to new fads, new marketing, 236 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:19,280 Speaker 1: trans new technologies in our economy. Once it gets between 237 00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:22,920 Speaker 1: one and ten percent adoption, I can calibrate the rest 238 00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:24,920 Speaker 1: of the S curb and tell you when it's gonna peak. 239 00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,880 Speaker 1: Once country start to urbanize, I can tell you how 240 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:31,559 Speaker 1: rapidly they're urbanizing and how rich they'll be as they 241 00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 1: get richer living in cities predictably. So I look at 242 00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:40,480 Speaker 1: the world long term, like what's not predictable? Most economists say, well, 243 00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:42,720 Speaker 1: there's not much you can predict past the next election. 244 00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:45,200 Speaker 1: I'm like, no, I don't even know if Trump's gonna 245 00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:47,040 Speaker 1: get re elected or not. It's crazy one day and 246 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:50,200 Speaker 1: looks like a genius tonight. Okay, No, that's hard to predict. 247 00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:52,679 Speaker 1: Predicting this boom and when it would end in two 248 00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:55,000 Speaker 1: thousand seven. I did that back in them in the 249 00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:59,360 Speaker 1: mid the late eighties, Piece of King, regardless of political 250 00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:01,800 Speaker 1: stuff and and other things that happened. Those things are 251 00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:08,640 Speaker 1: short term, long term trends. Urbanization of emerging countries, generations 252 00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:13,440 Speaker 1: spending in fully urban, wealthy developed countries, or the two 253 00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:17,439 Speaker 1: most important trends driving on come now. Um, a couple 254 00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,880 Speaker 1: of things though, so like things do change though, right, So, 255 00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:23,880 Speaker 1: like you talked about the Bob Hope generation babyroom generation, 256 00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,320 Speaker 1: and they're spending habits for predictable so like when they 257 00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:28,480 Speaker 1: got married, when they had kids, that that was predictable. 258 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:31,040 Speaker 1: But today, especially in you know, we see in other 259 00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,400 Speaker 1: countries like Japan, China, but even in the US, like 260 00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:36,200 Speaker 1: people aren't getting married, or they're getting wit married way later, 261 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:38,320 Speaker 1: or they're not even having kids, they're having kids way later. 262 00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:40,840 Speaker 1: So do you have to start to expand that then 263 00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,040 Speaker 1: or does that all of a sudden throw those cycles 264 00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:45,280 Speaker 1: completely off. We well, I get all this data and 265 00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:47,680 Speaker 1: now it's not as big as you think. The biggest 266 00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:50,800 Speaker 1: thing has happened is that the buying the first home 267 00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:53,640 Speaker 1: for the baby boomers was thirty one on average. It's 268 00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:56,560 Speaker 1: thirty four now for the millenniums. That has jumped three years. 269 00:14:56,600 --> 00:15:00,200 Speaker 1: That's a lot for a demographic category on average. But 270 00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:03,520 Speaker 1: the peak and spending from the baby Bloomers the millennial 271 00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:07,240 Speaker 1: is just one year later, forty seven instead of forty six, 272 00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:10,400 Speaker 1: and almost everything except that first home, which is harder 273 00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:13,320 Speaker 1: to afford now and they're more cautious because you've gotta 274 00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:16,960 Speaker 1: also remember the millennials saw a real real estate crash, 275 00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,600 Speaker 1: which history is full of. We just didn't see it 276 00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:22,000 Speaker 1: much after World War Two with this huge you know, 277 00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:28,760 Speaker 1: mortgage will cost mortgages and people buying houses middle class people. Um. 278 00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:33,720 Speaker 1: But but you know, those things are the predictable point 279 00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:37,000 Speaker 1: and they don't change that much. It's forty seven, but 280 00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,880 Speaker 1: even when it's forty six years, it was forty seven 281 00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:44,200 Speaker 1: in Australia, Japan and Europe other countries. I projected just 282 00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:48,160 Speaker 1: one year difference. Now people get married a little later, 283 00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:51,640 Speaker 1: but they still have kids closer to the same time, 284 00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:54,240 Speaker 1: a lot of people get married and already pregnant or 285 00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:58,040 Speaker 1: already have a kid. So it's the biggest thing that 286 00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:01,680 Speaker 1: drives that cycle is when Pete Well have kids, because 287 00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:04,720 Speaker 1: once you have kids, you were motivated and you're gonna 288 00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:06,960 Speaker 1: buy a house, and you're gonna get a car and that, 289 00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:11,640 Speaker 1: and you're gonna get them into college, all those predictable things. 290 00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:16,000 Speaker 1: So UMA, So for everyone listening, before we wrap this up, 291 00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:18,320 Speaker 1: I'm gonna ask you to help us figure out where 292 00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:21,000 Speaker 1: we are and what we're seeing coming up. But before 293 00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,000 Speaker 1: we get to that, So for everyone listening and stick 294 00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:24,720 Speaker 1: around for that. But I want to dig into these 295 00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:27,480 Speaker 1: cycles a little bit more. Um. So you're saying that 296 00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:30,720 Speaker 1: it's moved a little bit, uh, but I would imagine 297 00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:33,720 Speaker 1: the peak is different. So for example, um, the spending 298 00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:36,840 Speaker 1: peak at forty six fifteen years ago was way higher 299 00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:39,200 Speaker 1: than the spending peak of forty six might be in 300 00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:42,280 Speaker 1: ten years from now. Right, the amount of money that's 301 00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:45,600 Speaker 1: being spent? Does that matter? No? No, Actually, the amount 302 00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:48,800 Speaker 1: of money a little bit higher. But it's true the millennials, 303 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:52,200 Speaker 1: if not made as much progress and their standard living 304 00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:54,880 Speaker 1: was the Baby Boomers did over the generation before them, 305 00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:57,400 Speaker 1: and just with the just with the economy and the 306 00:16:57,440 --> 00:16:59,720 Speaker 1: amount of debt creation and stuff. There's just more money 307 00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:02,800 Speaker 1: slow shing around then there might be in the future. Yeah, 308 00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:07,320 Speaker 1: and and everybody every generation, I mean again, the Henry 309 00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:11,520 Speaker 1: Ford generation before the Bobo that drove the Roaring twenties 310 00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:14,240 Speaker 1: boom into its peak. Back then, you buy a house 311 00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:20,320 Speaker 1: down payment, five year balloon mortgage. So that's why you 312 00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:22,200 Speaker 1: didn't get a big housing bubble in the range TWA. 313 00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:24,320 Speaker 1: You got a big stock bubble. You've got a big 314 00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:27,159 Speaker 1: farm bubble. People were borrowing money to start farms and 315 00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:30,080 Speaker 1: stuff and buy drafts which were new horses, you know, 316 00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:33,680 Speaker 1: mechanical horses. But you didn't have a big real estate 317 00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:36,280 Speaker 1: bubble because it was too hard to speculate. So every 318 00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:40,480 Speaker 1: generation has been able to borrow more money at lower 319 00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:44,159 Speaker 1: interest rates is a general rule. And along with technologies, 320 00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:47,080 Speaker 1: that expands your standard of living and how much you 321 00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:50,400 Speaker 1: earn spend. Now, one other thing I've seen you talk 322 00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:54,840 Speaker 1: about with cycles is social unrest, and you've talked about 323 00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:58,320 Speaker 1: cycles in regards to that as well. Right, So obviously 324 00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:01,119 Speaker 1: we're seeing this happening right now. Um, not just in 325 00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:04,560 Speaker 1: the US, all across the world. Um, is there a 326 00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:06,639 Speaker 1: cycle lining up right now that you've been looking at 327 00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:09,920 Speaker 1: in regards to that, Well, well, there is two things. 328 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:13,359 Speaker 1: When you get into the winter season, there's four seasons, 329 00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:17,200 Speaker 1: two booms and to bust over two generations. The winter 330 00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:20,120 Speaker 1: season which started in two thousand and eight and will 331 00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:22,480 Speaker 1: end about two thousand twenty three or few years ago. 332 00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:25,159 Speaker 1: When we see the worst of this crisis I'm talking about, 333 00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:29,080 Speaker 1: you get more social unrest under that because the economy 334 00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:33,240 Speaker 1: is the most challenging. But there's also a geopolitical cycle. Now. 335 00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:36,479 Speaker 1: I had to come up with this one. When I 336 00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:40,320 Speaker 1: made a not so great forecast. It was right about direction. 337 00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:43,560 Speaker 1: But when the tech wrecked craft and we were coming 338 00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:46,080 Speaker 1: out of it in late two thousand two, and I'm saying, oh, 339 00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:48,720 Speaker 1: here's a bi signal. I thought the Dow was gonna 340 00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:50,919 Speaker 1: be just as strong as it was in the boom before, 341 00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:56,080 Speaker 1: and it wasn't. Why nine eleven and terrorism and civil 342 00:18:56,200 --> 00:19:00,679 Speaker 1: unrest and and you know, wars are around the world 343 00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:04,680 Speaker 1: just kept expanding and that creates an era of fear, 344 00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:07,800 Speaker 1: which which suppressed stock value. It doesn't change the economy. 345 00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:12,040 Speaker 1: So I found there's about a thirty five year geopolitical cycle, 346 00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:15,679 Speaker 1: So forty years bloom and bust for the economy, about 347 00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:20,440 Speaker 1: thirty five years, seventeen to eighteen years positive life nineteen 348 00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:24,000 Speaker 1: eighty two to two thousand. What after the recession of 349 00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:26,720 Speaker 1: eighty two in the in the fall of communism and 350 00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:30,480 Speaker 1: Golbridge Shaw talking to Reagan? What went wrong? One one 351 00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:35,160 Speaker 1: hour war with Saddam Hussein at that time? Political after 352 00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:38,199 Speaker 1: nine eleven, everything's gone wrong. So we've been in a 353 00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:42,520 Speaker 1: negative geopolitical cycle, and that is bottoming this year. That 354 00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:45,360 Speaker 1: is one of the things that's gonna start to slowly 355 00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:50,040 Speaker 1: get better. So that does not affect economic growth, but 356 00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:53,640 Speaker 1: it present it creates fear and investors, and it means 357 00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:56,080 Speaker 1: people will pay less for stocks because they're a little 358 00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:59,800 Speaker 1: more uncertain about those future earnings because both they're gonna 359 00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:02,840 Speaker 1: be a war or something any time. Um And and 360 00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:06,520 Speaker 1: so that's another cycle that I factor in. But my 361 00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:10,840 Speaker 1: forty year boom and bus generation cycle, in the forty 362 00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:15,960 Speaker 1: five year technology cycles, which greatly expands productivity and effects 363 00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:19,960 Speaker 1: were or we can live and how we work with 364 00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:22,960 Speaker 1: important cycles, the geopolitical would be third on that list. 365 00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:27,920 Speaker 1: So um you then your social unrestcycle predicts that right. 366 00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:31,720 Speaker 1: Sometime in the next couple of years will hopefully turn 367 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:34,520 Speaker 1: the table and start to get back to more of people. 368 00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:38,399 Speaker 1: This will be more economic downturn than it will be 369 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:42,320 Speaker 1: you know, terrorism and Middle East wards and all this stuff. 370 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:44,560 Speaker 1: We've seen the worst of that. I think the Iran 371 00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:47,840 Speaker 1: conflict we've had is probably the the epitome of that 372 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:51,080 Speaker 1: last cycle that started with nine eleven. I think that 373 00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:54,359 Speaker 1: sort of stuff gets better. You notice that the US 374 00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:56,920 Speaker 1: has no interest in intervening in the Middle East now 375 00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:59,720 Speaker 1: that we don't need their oil. Well, that's a big deal. 376 00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:04,200 Speaker 1: We've been to destabilizing factor. I mean, they have enough destabilization. 377 00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:08,440 Speaker 1: All it takes is US infidels entering the picture, taking 378 00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:11,120 Speaker 1: twice as back. Have you ever heard of a book 379 00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:15,720 Speaker 1: called Pendulum? I have, and they basically predict forty a 380 00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:19,320 Speaker 1: pendulum swinging back forty years each way, so an eighty 381 00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:22,560 Speaker 1: year round trip. And it basically says the world goes 382 00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:27,960 Speaker 1: from a me cycle about me individualism, decentralization to a 383 00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:32,400 Speaker 1: WE cycle, which is a centralization or collectivism. Yeah, exactly. 384 00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:36,080 Speaker 1: That is the Baby Boomers versus the Bob Pope generation. 385 00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:39,400 Speaker 1: Baby Boomers are the me generation. Bob Hopers do everything 386 00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:43,320 Speaker 1: for the good of the country. They're the collective generation, 387 00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:47,640 Speaker 1: so that is definitely a cycle. And and uh Strauss 388 00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:50,199 Speaker 1: and how were the ones to document They documented that 389 00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:53,560 Speaker 1: back a couple of hundred years or even I think 390 00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:56,040 Speaker 1: even thousands of years. Maybe they went way back. But 391 00:21:56,600 --> 00:22:00,800 Speaker 1: right now we are maxing out on the we collectivism, 392 00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:04,399 Speaker 1: globalism and where And you can see the world is 393 00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:09,240 Speaker 1: rejecting globalism right and it's gonna start swinging back to decentralization, 394 00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:12,280 Speaker 1: which I find very interesting. I know you're not a 395 00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:15,359 Speaker 1: big fan. I am. We don't have to agree on everything, 396 00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:18,600 Speaker 1: but you know, seeing Bitcoin rise up, and really it's 397 00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:24,680 Speaker 1: the it's technology technology, but it's about decentralization, decentralized government, governance, 398 00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:28,520 Speaker 1: decentralized you know what, everything decentralizing. So right as we're 399 00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:32,240 Speaker 1: peaking at a centralization cycle and moving back to decentralization, 400 00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:34,760 Speaker 1: we have this new technology that also enables that. So 401 00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:36,679 Speaker 1: I think that's gonna be pretty interesting. And you know 402 00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:39,320 Speaker 1: who I hate the most central banks? They they go 403 00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:42,720 Speaker 1: I have all these natural cycles down cold, and they 404 00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:45,600 Speaker 1: basically just interfere with them. I am going to be 405 00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:49,879 Speaker 1: the happiest person on earth when digital technolog digitization of 406 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:54,160 Speaker 1: money and financial assets can allow the economy to expand 407 00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:58,399 Speaker 1: money supply and grow from the bottoms up organically instead 408 00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:01,520 Speaker 1: of being manipulated by send u banks and governments who 409 00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:04,320 Speaker 1: want to play with their currency to help exports. All 410 00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:07,400 Speaker 1: this stuff is cheating and all of it's working against 411 00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:10,919 Speaker 1: the natural boom and bust. We need bust, just like 412 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,800 Speaker 1: we need sleep. Need to restore and and and and 413 00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:16,359 Speaker 1: get rid of excess of debt and bad companies and 414 00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:19,199 Speaker 1: stuff and bad loans. With this a natural sing. We 415 00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:22,720 Speaker 1: need inflation at times and deflation. They all have a 416 00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:26,359 Speaker 1: role in economic growth. Economists just want three percent growth 417 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:30,640 Speaker 1: with with two inflation, and that's what kills an economy. 418 00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:32,680 Speaker 1: And guess what Japan has been in what I call 419 00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:37,000 Speaker 1: a coma economy since nine when they went in their 420 00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:40,679 Speaker 1: winter season and their bubble burst and decided to just 421 00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:45,760 Speaker 1: control their economy with constant money printing and and and 422 00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:48,480 Speaker 1: top down policies. And they'll never come out of this, 423 00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:55,119 Speaker 1: never ever ever wait for the digital uh, you know 424 00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:58,640 Speaker 1: revolution and bitcoin and so I want to talk about that, 425 00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:02,360 Speaker 1: um about pand so you mentioned about the central makes First, 426 00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:03,840 Speaker 1: I wanted to add to a comment you say, like 427 00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:06,959 Speaker 1: these economists say, we can never have these withdraws, right, 428 00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:09,399 Speaker 1: we can't have these busts, but we need But but 429 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:13,080 Speaker 1: it's the whole world we see today, Like no one's 430 00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:14,720 Speaker 1: allowed to be in pain. If you're in pain, take 431 00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:16,760 Speaker 1: a pill, Like no one allowed to be sad. As 432 00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:21,560 Speaker 1: you're sad, you're taking heroine deriving. Right, you can't you 433 00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:24,520 Speaker 1: can't be sad, you can't be unhappy. You can't be 434 00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:26,679 Speaker 1: you can't be mad, you can't be in pain, you 435 00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:29,840 Speaker 1: can't be brought like your your child can't come in 436 00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:32,600 Speaker 1: second in the contrast and school, Well, everybody's got to 437 00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:36,800 Speaker 1: be a winner. But but there's there's without without without 438 00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:41,639 Speaker 1: the contrast, right, without sadness, there's no joy exactly without boom, 439 00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:46,520 Speaker 1: there's no bust, you know, without assholes, there's no good people, 440 00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:48,920 Speaker 1: good people even though they were good, if there weren't 441 00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,879 Speaker 1: enough assholes out there to show them. You know, the 442 00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:57,719 Speaker 1: play of opposite market is actually the most central perpensible 443 00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:02,240 Speaker 1: of my work. Cycles come from the play opposite and 444 00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:06,639 Speaker 1: and those cycles create dynamics of boom and bust, inflation 445 00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:11,240 Speaker 1: and deflation, we and me, all those back and forth things. 446 00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:15,200 Speaker 1: Those are the dynamics to create innovation and growth and 447 00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:19,639 Speaker 1: long term more than demographics, it is the technology cycles, 448 00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:23,600 Speaker 1: how we learn to do things smarter and better and 449 00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:26,560 Speaker 1: more globally and more urban and all these sort of 450 00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:29,720 Speaker 1: things that makes us. We are so much richer than 451 00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:33,600 Speaker 1: people just a hundred years ago. It's embarrassing. If people 452 00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:36,240 Speaker 1: went back in a time machine, they would shoot themselves. 453 00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:39,400 Speaker 1: They would die aboard them. I was in the hurricane 454 00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:43,320 Speaker 1: Puerto Rico for two weeks with no electricity, no TV, 455 00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:48,359 Speaker 1: no internet, no cutup even most of the time. Those thinking, 456 00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:50,960 Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, this like the late eighteen hundreds. I 457 00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:56,560 Speaker 1: was ready to jump off the the condo, you know, scars. 458 00:25:57,240 --> 00:25:59,480 Speaker 1: So I want to get back to the central banks 459 00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:03,680 Speaker 1: and um, them messing everything up, And so they think, 460 00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:06,800 Speaker 1: what's that which they have and that'll be obvious in 461 00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:09,200 Speaker 1: the next few years. Yeah, Well I think it's yeah, 462 00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:13,000 Speaker 1: I mean, it's obvious to people paying attention. But one 463 00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:15,280 Speaker 1: thing that's interesting Henry Ford. You talk about Henry Ford, 464 00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:17,560 Speaker 1: He's He had a quote that said if people understood 465 00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:20,240 Speaker 1: how the banking system really worked, would be a revolution overnight. 466 00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:23,480 Speaker 1: And I think people are waking up to how it works. 467 00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:26,119 Speaker 1: And I think the Internet has ruined their game. The 468 00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:29,000 Speaker 1: Internet has pulled the curtain back and allowed everyone to 469 00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:33,000 Speaker 1: understand this. And really, I think again back to bitcoin 470 00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:36,520 Speaker 1: has made people curious and they started to like understand 471 00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:38,919 Speaker 1: what is money and banking and people are starting to 472 00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:40,840 Speaker 1: figure this out. And he said there would be a 473 00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:43,240 Speaker 1: revolution overnight and and a lot of what we're seeing 474 00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:45,960 Speaker 1: even like you know, Iran was having these revolutions and 475 00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:49,240 Speaker 1: they were burning the banks down, and uh, people are 476 00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:52,880 Speaker 1: really figuring out it's the banks that are causing all this. Um, 477 00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:55,400 Speaker 1: we could go into a whole thing there, but you said, 478 00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:57,960 Speaker 1: like the banks are messing up these boom and bus 479 00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:00,639 Speaker 1: cycles and so that's kind of one thing that I 480 00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:03,560 Speaker 1: fear and I just want to talk about. So um, 481 00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:06,960 Speaker 1: you say these cycles are always dependable, but at the 482 00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:09,280 Speaker 1: same time, the central banks can affect these cycles like 483 00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:11,560 Speaker 1: they have in Japan, as you made the comment, So 484 00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:16,560 Speaker 1: is it possible that they just go into this coma 485 00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:18,399 Speaker 1: you called it, like a financial coma or whatever in 486 00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:21,160 Speaker 1: Japan and that just becomes the normal And how long 487 00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:22,760 Speaker 1: can they keep that up? For a lot of people 488 00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:28,159 Speaker 1: think Japan's a success, they are not. As exact, Let 489 00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:31,080 Speaker 1: me tell you what Japan's like. Young people in Japan 490 00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:34,480 Speaker 1: don't want to date, don't want to get married, don't 491 00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:37,760 Speaker 1: want to have sex because they can't afford to make 492 00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:40,240 Speaker 1: a mistake and have a kid and go broke. That's 493 00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:45,720 Speaker 1: how bad the economy is. Zero growth since when they're 494 00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:50,640 Speaker 1: the stock market never crashed, it did crash. It crashed, 495 00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:52,600 Speaker 1: I mean present it was down eighty percent. It words, 496 00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:55,080 Speaker 1: it's going to be eighty to ninety. It's real estate 497 00:27:55,320 --> 00:28:00,960 Speaker 1: in Japan crash and never never even be founded when 498 00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:06,800 Speaker 1: the millennials came along. Japan is in a zero inflation, 499 00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:10,120 Speaker 1: zero growth. Yes, sometimes they grow a little, sometimes they don't. 500 00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:13,160 Speaker 1: Sometimes they have a little little they're in a comb up. 501 00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:16,520 Speaker 1: But isn't that what the essential bankers want? No booms, 502 00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:19,359 Speaker 1: no bus They just wanted, well know what they want 503 00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:23,160 Speaker 1: is growth and no booms and bus but they're there. 504 00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:25,200 Speaker 1: They have none because the problem is they don't have 505 00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:28,680 Speaker 1: any demographics to play on. Uh and the only solutions 506 00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:32,159 Speaker 1: since since people don't have kids when they get wealthy, 507 00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:34,560 Speaker 1: is to have immigrants, and they don't have an immigration 508 00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:39,400 Speaker 1: Jeff Andys don't like immigration, so they have a debt economy. 509 00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:42,680 Speaker 1: But if they had to let the debt unravel and 510 00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:45,160 Speaker 1: be restructured and written off a lot of debt. Then 511 00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:49,720 Speaker 1: consumers and businesses would have more purchasing power in the 512 00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:54,680 Speaker 1: economy would be stronger. You have to constantly, just like 513 00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:57,160 Speaker 1: a garden, you have to prune the garden to keep 514 00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:00,000 Speaker 1: it growing in healthy. You gotta get rid of zombie banks, 515 00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:04,560 Speaker 1: ad loans, unproductive businesses. Failure is a part of free 516 00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:09,960 Speaker 1: market capitalism, taking risk successes, but then allowing failure to 517 00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:12,480 Speaker 1: let the craft the bad businesses get out of the way. 518 00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:15,800 Speaker 1: If you keep bad businesses, if you keep unproductive, keep 519 00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:18,920 Speaker 1: paying back loans that aren't producing anything because they were 520 00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:21,720 Speaker 1: bad loans in the first place, it's better to write 521 00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:24,600 Speaker 1: them off, get them out of the lake. That's what 522 00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:27,560 Speaker 1: happens in recessions. That's what happened. People have no idea 523 00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:30,040 Speaker 1: what happens in sleep at night. We still don't, but 524 00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:32,960 Speaker 1: a lot of stuff happens. We're not wasting time, we're 525 00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:37,080 Speaker 1: having dreams. Everything in our body is getting refreshed and 526 00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:41,040 Speaker 1: restored and cleaned up. Your your your brain totally purifies 527 00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:43,640 Speaker 1: itself only in deep sleep, only in deep sleep. In 528 00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:48,480 Speaker 1: that case, so recessions are apart and guess what where 529 00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:52,640 Speaker 1: do all the great innovations in history come in downturns, 530 00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:56,120 Speaker 1: not upturned. We are at our best when we're challenged. 531 00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:59,800 Speaker 1: So the downturns are challenging, and then all those innovations 532 00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:03,640 Speaker 1: main stream and the booms that are more nurturing and easy. 533 00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:07,920 Speaker 1: We need both nurturing and challenge. We need men and 534 00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:11,680 Speaker 1: women their opposites. So back, so back to my question 535 00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:16,800 Speaker 1: capitalism and democracy or two opposite democracy socialism. You really 536 00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:20,040 Speaker 1: look at it. If everybody a vote, everybody's equal, that's 537 00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:24,400 Speaker 1: not that's not free market capitalism, right, But go back 538 00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:27,360 Speaker 1: to the question with the central banks messing things up 539 00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:30,040 Speaker 1: and seeing what's happened in Japan, and like I said, 540 00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:32,680 Speaker 1: some people think it's a success or whatever. But but 541 00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:36,360 Speaker 1: obviously we're going down the same path with quee and 542 00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:39,440 Speaker 1: unlimited and all the eight trillion dollars who spent, et cetera. 543 00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:44,120 Speaker 1: You know, no end in sight. Um you know what 544 00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:46,200 Speaker 1: does that do to mess up the cycle? I mean, 545 00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:47,840 Speaker 1: do you think the US is going to continue just 546 00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:49,680 Speaker 1: a print print print, print front and we end up 547 00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:53,160 Speaker 1: in this coma, a Japan like coma. I think what 548 00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:56,040 Speaker 1: happens is it gets so extreme here because Jape. You 549 00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:59,840 Speaker 1: don't remember, Japan had its bubble and its crisis all 550 00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:03,240 Speaker 1: by itself. It was fifteen years ahead of the demographic 551 00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:06,880 Speaker 1: trends for uh, you know, the baby boom for for 552 00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:09,840 Speaker 1: Europe and the US and the rest of the developed world. 553 00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:13,560 Speaker 1: So they got to have that luxury. Everybody's gonna go 554 00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:17,000 Speaker 1: down together. So I think this whole thing collapses, central 555 00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:20,560 Speaker 1: bank fail, and people to look at these people, like, 556 00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:23,200 Speaker 1: why did we ever listen to these people? They were 557 00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:26,320 Speaker 1: the every Their solution to every prop was to print 558 00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:29,280 Speaker 1: money out of thin air and just rain money on something. 559 00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:33,320 Speaker 1: You don't get anybody with any common sentence, who's who's 560 00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:37,160 Speaker 1: who've been alive for more than two years not understand 561 00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:40,360 Speaker 1: that something getting something for nothing is not one of 562 00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:45,280 Speaker 1: God's favorite princible It's not right. And but that's what 563 00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:48,520 Speaker 1: they do. Something that's like penicillin every It's like it's 564 00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:51,840 Speaker 1: like taking penicillan every time you had a minor poll. Well, 565 00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:55,040 Speaker 1: you wouldn't have a digestive system left and a colon 566 00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:57,520 Speaker 1: if you did that for too many years. That's what 567 00:31:57,520 --> 00:32:00,520 Speaker 1: they're doing. We never get to rebalance. And and then again, 568 00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:04,600 Speaker 1: first example, federal reserve did not exist before. By the way, 569 00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:07,640 Speaker 1: we didn't have a central bank for many, many decades, 570 00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:11,400 Speaker 1: which shows you don't need one. They're created nineteen thirteen, 571 00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:16,240 Speaker 1: twenty years later, greatest bubble and then greatest depression in history. 572 00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:19,960 Speaker 1: That was no accident. We would have had that to 573 00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:24,160 Speaker 1: some degree in the positive cycles. Anyway. They goosed it up. 574 00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:28,480 Speaker 1: They constantly stimulate. It means you don't you don't get 575 00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:30,320 Speaker 1: the stuff out of your economy, so you end up 576 00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:32,560 Speaker 1: instead of having a bunch of coals, you end up 577 00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:35,239 Speaker 1: with pneumonia, instead of a number of recessions, you end 578 00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:39,160 Speaker 1: up with a depression. So central banks have done way 579 00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:42,800 Speaker 1: worse than that this time, way worse. So when this 580 00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:46,160 Speaker 1: thing blows, it's just gonna be stocks are gonna be 581 00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:50,040 Speaker 1: down few years from now from the top. So let's 582 00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:53,120 Speaker 1: let's talk about that. So you were talking about last year, 583 00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:58,440 Speaker 1: you were talking about the dark window we had, I 584 00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:00,640 Speaker 1: think it was Dr Sugaroos talked about the melt up 585 00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:04,840 Speaker 1: um same same basic principles um that basically the Fed 586 00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:07,040 Speaker 1: was gonna intervene so much and they're just gonna send 587 00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:09,000 Speaker 1: so much money into the market that things were gonna 588 00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:11,360 Speaker 1: go to this crazy, all time high and then it 589 00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:15,880 Speaker 1: all ends um And I think again, you use demographics. 590 00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:18,200 Speaker 1: I think that people are predictable, right, and so I 591 00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:20,800 Speaker 1: think human nature is predictable. So it makes sense that 592 00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:23,600 Speaker 1: these guys are gonna print until they can't print anymore. Exactly, 593 00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:28,040 Speaker 1: They're gonna go untill they blow no notice something They 594 00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:32,000 Speaker 1: just printed literally since the repo crisis hit, and that 595 00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:35,120 Speaker 1: was seven sixty five billion they printed in a few 596 00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:38,520 Speaker 1: months over that little repo prisis. That's how bad it 597 00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:42,800 Speaker 1: says shape the banking sy They since then and now 598 00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:46,800 Speaker 1: the virus, they have printed three point four trillion dollars. 599 00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:50,960 Speaker 1: And that's not the count the three trillion dollars fiscal package, 600 00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:55,600 Speaker 1: and I'm already one trillion a year deficit fiscal stimulus, okay, 601 00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:59,080 Speaker 1: but three point four trillion they printed almost as much 602 00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:02,680 Speaker 1: as in the end higher quantitative easing cycle over the 603 00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:05,880 Speaker 1: last eleven years and just a matter of months. So 604 00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:08,560 Speaker 1: you see, the more you print, the bigger the financial 605 00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:11,680 Speaker 1: asset bubbles you create in response to that, and the 606 00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:14,239 Speaker 1: more you have to print to keep those bubbles from 607 00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:19,680 Speaker 1: bursting because there's so much wealth now four hundred trillion 608 00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:23,920 Speaker 1: dollars to be exact in financial assets in the world 609 00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:28,280 Speaker 1: and probably been a hundred trillion just decades ago. Okay, 610 00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:32,160 Speaker 1: that collapses. You know, the the total GDP in the 611 00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:35,959 Speaker 1: whole world is a little over eighty trillions. Okay, that's 612 00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:40,960 Speaker 1: five times the GDP. If those bubbles just collapse, all 613 00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:47,400 Speaker 1: those bad bonds and stocks and and and loans, you 614 00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:51,160 Speaker 1: have two to three times GDP disappears, which is easy 615 00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:53,160 Speaker 1: to see why the deflation. I mean, you just can't 616 00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:57,760 Speaker 1: reinflate that balloon. That's what causes deflation. Money disappears, less 617 00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:01,240 Speaker 1: money chasing. But they're they're preventing, They're preventing the loans 618 00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:04,680 Speaker 1: from going dad, which prevents the deflation from happening. And 619 00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:08,120 Speaker 1: like to do that, what I'm trying to say, each round, 620 00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:12,960 Speaker 1: they have to print exponentially more each round until it 621 00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:16,680 Speaker 1: gets so ridiculous. And again, I think even now, the 622 00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:20,360 Speaker 1: stock market on March sixteen, after they came up with 623 00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:24,320 Speaker 1: their biggest three day edition of stimulus ever money printing 624 00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:29,560 Speaker 1: and um legend fiscal, the stock market went down when 625 00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:32,000 Speaker 1: the market opened up the next Monday, because the stock 626 00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:35,120 Speaker 1: market said, well, you've been printing money forever, and how 627 00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:37,240 Speaker 1: do we get back in this mess. If it works, 628 00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:40,040 Speaker 1: it's not working anymore all of a sudden, all of 629 00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:42,560 Speaker 1: a sudden, it is all of a sudden. Is all 630 00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:44,440 Speaker 1: of a sudden it is working, right, we're seeing now, 631 00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:47,560 Speaker 1: but it's working today. Yeah, but okay, let's see next year. 632 00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:50,719 Speaker 1: I'll bet it ain't working next year. That's my right. 633 00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:53,600 Speaker 1: So so, I mean, there's so many things we can 634 00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:55,600 Speaker 1: go into when when one comment. I know, we can 635 00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:57,520 Speaker 1: spend a bunch of time talking about this, but obviously 636 00:35:57,600 --> 00:36:00,080 Speaker 1: you have this whole new breed of politician, you know, 637 00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:03,319 Speaker 1: the AOC group over there thinking we can just print 638 00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:05,719 Speaker 1: seventy trillion for this green new deal and no big deal. 639 00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:09,279 Speaker 1: Um yeah, why even have the r S will just 640 00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:12,000 Speaker 1: print money for all our government spending and then just 641 00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:14,839 Speaker 1: let it come out and inflation. And I think that now, 642 00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:17,920 Speaker 1: but that provert the economy or what? That is insanity 643 00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:21,920 Speaker 1: to say it's a good chance. We see that, a 644 00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:25,040 Speaker 1: good chance somebody will try. You know again, though, what 645 00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:29,240 Speaker 1: happens when all of a sudden. Now, now, quick example again, 646 00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:34,200 Speaker 1: this little staff print in five weeks twenty trillion dollars. 647 00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:36,160 Speaker 1: I think it's more than that. But that's the best 648 00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:40,120 Speaker 1: estiment I heard disappeared in five weeks. Twenty trillion is 649 00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:43,120 Speaker 1: more than all six major central banks printed over the 650 00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:46,560 Speaker 1: last eleven year boom. So all that has to happen 651 00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:50,280 Speaker 1: is this de leveraging of the giant financial bubbles. Four 652 00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:54,520 Speaker 1: hundred trillion five times global g d P starts to 653 00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:57,160 Speaker 1: de leverage as it wants to do, and we'll have 654 00:36:57,239 --> 00:36:59,120 Speaker 1: to do at some point because you can't be that 655 00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:03,120 Speaker 1: divorce from Alley just wipes out all this stimulus and 656 00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:06,920 Speaker 1: then just then then you then it really doesn't work. 657 00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:09,960 Speaker 1: So that's the point. There's a point of f I 658 00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:13,640 Speaker 1: called my last book zero Hour. There's a point, well, 659 00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:17,799 Speaker 1: diminishing returns were no amount of stimulus works, right, and 660 00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:21,279 Speaker 1: so um I of course right. And that's where I'm saying, 661 00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:23,240 Speaker 1: like human nature, they're not gonna just wake up tomorrow 662 00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:24,640 Speaker 1: and go, oh we should live on a budget. They're 663 00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:27,279 Speaker 1: gonna go to the wee blow. As you said. Um 664 00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:29,759 Speaker 1: so you had this theory about this dark hour and 665 00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:31,600 Speaker 1: they were gonna print and it was gonna push the 666 00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:33,799 Speaker 1: market up to crazy all the time. But it's the 667 00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:37,600 Speaker 1: final rally in the bubble, the final the put pedal 668 00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:40,719 Speaker 1: to the metal until the engine blows right. Um, it's 669 00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:43,839 Speaker 1: it's it's the orgasm in the cycle. It's it's the 670 00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:46,640 Speaker 1: final orgasm. And you know what triggered that, And I 671 00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:50,040 Speaker 1: was right on that the repo crisis. They printed seven 672 00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:53,840 Speaker 1: sixty five billion dollars more than they had in years 673 00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:57,960 Speaker 1: of quantitative easing just to fight that crisis from October 674 00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:01,200 Speaker 1: into earlier this year before the fire came and then 675 00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:05,160 Speaker 1: came over. But that that stocks were going up straight 676 00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:08,080 Speaker 1: with that money printing over the repo prices. I had 677 00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:11,760 Speaker 1: a grab showing for every dollar day print, repo stocks 678 00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:13,759 Speaker 1: go up this much. And and that I'm saying we're 679 00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:18,080 Speaker 1: in the final rally in early two thou and I'm 680 00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:20,799 Speaker 1: gonna give dark window and I want to give you 681 00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:23,040 Speaker 1: prop props right now. I mean, in this book right here, 682 00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:24,880 Speaker 1: you were talking about this this crash and it was 683 00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:26,640 Speaker 1: a little bit early, but you made it. You made 684 00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:29,960 Speaker 1: a statement in the book that said the oil market 685 00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:33,480 Speaker 1: will crash and be the catalyst for the market to drop. 686 00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:35,440 Speaker 1: And that's exactly what we saw happen. So that was 687 00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:38,200 Speaker 1: I went back and reread this and that was pretty 688 00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:40,040 Speaker 1: eerie when I read that, Like, dang, he got that 689 00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:43,319 Speaker 1: one good. Um, so so you were You're definitely right 690 00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:45,960 Speaker 1: about that. But so back to this final orgasm, to 691 00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:48,800 Speaker 1: this dark window. UM, it seemed like this just dropped 692 00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:52,359 Speaker 1: this thirty drop that we had maybe uh kind of 693 00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:55,719 Speaker 1: defeated that. But now obviously we're ramping back up. We've 694 00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:59,359 Speaker 1: just seen this, uh, the advanced decline line today got 695 00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:01,000 Speaker 1: trigg or got figured at what two days ago, the 696 00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:04,520 Speaker 1: breath thrust or whatever. UM, looks like the markets are surgey. 697 00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:08,719 Speaker 1: Are we back in that um dark window? Are we 698 00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:12,600 Speaker 1: back into this orgasm? No? What? Hell? No? You gotta 699 00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:15,320 Speaker 1: remember one that we had a bubble in the roaring 700 00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:18,560 Speaker 1: twenties and then a big crash, and then we had 701 00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:21,040 Speaker 1: a mini bubble from thirty to thirty seven with a 702 00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:24,000 Speaker 1: lot of stimulus. This is more like that, except for 703 00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:28,680 Speaker 1: shorter term. When a bubble burst, you get that first crash, 704 00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:31,560 Speaker 1: give or take a couple of months or less, which 705 00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:34,480 Speaker 1: we've already seen, you get a rebound. Of course, there's 706 00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:37,480 Speaker 1: gonna be government programs and stimulus and all this stuff, 707 00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:39,719 Speaker 1: and everybody thinking and then people are thinking, oh, it's 708 00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:42,000 Speaker 1: just the virus, and as soon as the virus goes away, 709 00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:44,960 Speaker 1: we'll be rapped back to normal. No, you're never back 710 00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:47,920 Speaker 1: to normal when you overexpand this much and have bubbles 711 00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:51,759 Speaker 1: this big and death is hot. So um, you get 712 00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:53,960 Speaker 1: that rally for about four or five six months, and 713 00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:56,840 Speaker 1: I say this could last into the election, no longer, 714 00:39:57,000 --> 00:40:00,160 Speaker 1: maybe not that long. And so we're in that rally. 715 00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:03,000 Speaker 1: It's stronger than normal because they printed so much money. 716 00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:05,680 Speaker 1: But we're in that I called a bear market rally. 717 00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:08,200 Speaker 1: I said in my newsletter in May early May. I said, 718 00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:12,520 Speaker 1: the NASDAC, the tech stocks are the only major index 719 00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:16,200 Speaker 1: that did not violate their up trends and when this 720 00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:19,520 Speaker 1: bubble crashed, only when they didn't. So those are likely 721 00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:21,719 Speaker 1: to make new highs. But the S and P and 722 00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:24,920 Speaker 1: all those will come close, but not so. So that's 723 00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:27,799 Speaker 1: one of the things I'm looking for mark now and 724 00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:29,720 Speaker 1: over the next few months. And I think we're getting 725 00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:33,000 Speaker 1: ready to take a correction. Now see one more thrust 726 00:40:33,080 --> 00:40:36,759 Speaker 1: up in towards the election. But we see the NASDAC 727 00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:39,879 Speaker 1: making new highs. But the SMP and the Russell two 728 00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:43,399 Speaker 1: thousand small caps and the transportation and the doubt they 729 00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:46,759 Speaker 1: can't quite make a new high. That's a classic divergence 730 00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:51,200 Speaker 1: that says, okay, now, we're going into the bigger wave down. 731 00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:54,080 Speaker 1: And again, the tech bubble from two thousand two thousand 732 00:40:54,120 --> 00:40:59,239 Speaker 1: two took almost three years, crash, rebound for several months, 733 00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:03,520 Speaker 1: and then two a little over two years, grueling downturn, 734 00:41:04,640 --> 00:41:08,040 Speaker 1: craft five or six month rally, a little over two years, 735 00:41:08,080 --> 00:41:13,040 Speaker 1: grueling downturn in d leveraging. So we're in that bal 736 00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:17,400 Speaker 1: and those are strong bounces, strong balunce bear market rally 737 00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:21,759 Speaker 1: before say just before or just after elections. It just 738 00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:24,880 Speaker 1: seems usually we have like a retrace and we've gone 739 00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:27,359 Speaker 1: way over that. So that's why I was curious. Maybe 740 00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:32,120 Speaker 1: a sixty is typical. This one's gone bananas. Yeah, it's 741 00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:34,560 Speaker 1: it's gonna be like more like seventy. But you got 742 00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:41,000 Speaker 1: a realized they just cope between physical stimulus and monetary stimulus. 743 00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:46,200 Speaker 1: And just a matter of months, six trillion dollars thirty 744 00:41:46,320 --> 00:41:49,320 Speaker 1: percent of our g d P was put in, and 745 00:41:49,360 --> 00:41:53,279 Speaker 1: there could be another We get ten percent growth a 746 00:41:53,400 --> 00:41:55,600 Speaker 1: year for forty years out of that, or we're not 747 00:41:55,640 --> 00:41:58,040 Speaker 1: gonna get that, right, but there could be another tentrally 748 00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:01,600 Speaker 1: in behind it. They could be twenty. Hey, hey they'll well, 749 00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:03,640 Speaker 1: well now that we've gotta bounce, that'll take a little 750 00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:06,080 Speaker 1: steam off of that. But but yeah, I mean, just 751 00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:10,040 Speaker 1: this amount of stimulus is enough reason that the markets 752 00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:14,640 Speaker 1: are gonna have more than the normal so like in 753 00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:18,160 Speaker 1: December and get back to normal. Too many small businesses 754 00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:21,359 Speaker 1: that most people don't see and didn't get all these 755 00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:24,600 Speaker 1: loans from the governments and support, you know, they just 756 00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:26,960 Speaker 1: don't come back. And it was just like the hurricane 757 00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:30,840 Speaker 1: in Puerto Rico. Of the restaurants within a block and 758 00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:34,240 Speaker 1: a half of me never came back after that hurricane, 759 00:42:34,640 --> 00:42:39,120 Speaker 1: never got it. So um, the dark windows closing, we 760 00:42:39,239 --> 00:42:42,280 Speaker 1: maybe continue to rally to the election and then probably 761 00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:44,839 Speaker 1: a couple the latest. Yeah, I don't know to leave 762 00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:47,160 Speaker 1: and make it that long since it's gone so hard. 763 00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:51,320 Speaker 1: But yes, I say, and normally that that bear market 764 00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:54,360 Speaker 1: rally is a wave up a correction against it, and 765 00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:56,239 Speaker 1: it should be a good I think we've got a 766 00:42:56,239 --> 00:42:59,400 Speaker 1: good correction coming. And then we see one more rally 767 00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:02,520 Speaker 1: and maybe a more stimulus program from the government, and 768 00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:06,400 Speaker 1: that rally goes into August, September, October, some of that timeframe, 769 00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:10,640 Speaker 1: and that's when I say, run, get out. Do not 770 00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:14,440 Speaker 1: listen to economists, do not listen to your financial advisor. 771 00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:17,680 Speaker 1: They're right of the time. But you do not sit 772 00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:22,239 Speaker 1: through a great reset like this like thirty two, or 773 00:43:22,280 --> 00:43:24,680 Speaker 1: even in the tech stocks two thousand, two thousand two. 774 00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:29,120 Speaker 1: You don't sit. You don't sit through a seventy stock 775 00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:32,520 Speaker 1: correction or a forty real estate And that's what I'm 776 00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:35,520 Speaker 1: saying for real estate, because thirty four percent last time 777 00:43:35,920 --> 00:43:38,400 Speaker 1: is gonna be forty two fifty percent this last this 778 00:43:38,560 --> 00:43:42,200 Speaker 1: time with more foreclosure. So we'll we'll wrap it up. 779 00:43:42,200 --> 00:43:44,160 Speaker 1: I know we're getting lid on time. But I want 780 00:43:44,160 --> 00:43:47,360 Speaker 1: to ask then, Uh, you said to run? Where do 781 00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:50,279 Speaker 1: we run? Where do we run? Two? Well, we were just, 782 00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:52,680 Speaker 1: we were just is what I said. With one exception, 783 00:43:53,200 --> 00:43:55,880 Speaker 1: you go into the highest quality bonds, which are the 784 00:43:55,920 --> 00:44:00,359 Speaker 1: ten and thirty year treasury bonds. They have a fall 785 00:44:01,800 --> 00:44:05,720 Speaker 1: and they like. One thing that likes deflation is interest 786 00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:08,239 Speaker 1: rates go down. You buy a bond when interest rates 787 00:44:08,280 --> 00:44:10,920 Speaker 1: or two they go to zero. You make money. In 788 00:44:10,960 --> 00:44:13,880 Speaker 1: addition to the interest. Your bond goes up in value. 789 00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:17,759 Speaker 1: Everything else doesn't jump. Bonds do bad even you know 790 00:44:17,880 --> 00:44:20,800 Speaker 1: what what happened here. The one exception I said, triple 791 00:44:20,840 --> 00:44:24,239 Speaker 1: A corporate bonds and treasuries are the best place to run. 792 00:44:24,600 --> 00:44:27,759 Speaker 1: All the treasuries did great. They were up at best 793 00:44:27,800 --> 00:44:33,239 Speaker 1: when stocks were down thirty five okay, beautiful, triple A 794 00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:36,520 Speaker 1: Coral or the investment great corporate went up at first, 795 00:44:36,520 --> 00:44:39,560 Speaker 1: and then they went down because this virus hits major 796 00:44:39,640 --> 00:44:43,520 Speaker 1: industry so hard that every every bond becomes a jump 797 00:44:43,520 --> 00:44:47,400 Speaker 1: bond when you're when you're sales are down if you're 798 00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:49,680 Speaker 1: a cruise ship at an airline, or a hotel chain 799 00:44:49,760 --> 00:44:52,640 Speaker 1: or a big retail chain. So that was the one 800 00:44:53,600 --> 00:44:57,600 Speaker 1: exception cast as well. Gold does Okay, it goes up 801 00:44:57,600 --> 00:44:59,960 Speaker 1: at the first the crisis, then when it sees deflay 802 00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:02,000 Speaker 1: shit and downturn, it goes down. And that's what it did. 803 00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:05,040 Speaker 1: Gold was down about nine or ten percent, but hey, 804 00:45:05,120 --> 00:45:08,840 Speaker 1: that's better than stocks forty basically. And guess what I 805 00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:12,200 Speaker 1: said this. I love crypto guarrency, love and love and 806 00:45:12,280 --> 00:45:14,839 Speaker 1: love them. They're the next Internet, the digitization of all 807 00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:18,120 Speaker 1: financial last that big deal. But they're in the hype 808 00:45:18,120 --> 00:45:21,479 Speaker 1: phase and they're gonna crash one more time big And 809 00:45:21,560 --> 00:45:25,080 Speaker 1: as I said, guess what did worse of the saint havens? 810 00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:30,640 Speaker 1: Bitcoin down did the worst of all but that strongest 811 00:45:30,760 --> 00:45:34,800 Speaker 1: in the recovery. But it didn't need stock market circuit breakers, 812 00:45:34,840 --> 00:45:37,040 Speaker 1: it didn't need stimulus, it didn't need any of that, 813 00:45:37,120 --> 00:45:39,160 Speaker 1: and it bounced back all on its own. And it 814 00:45:41,280 --> 00:45:44,080 Speaker 1: I'm telling you the number of two things to buy 815 00:45:44,320 --> 00:45:47,440 Speaker 1: in investment outside of real estate, and when this crash 816 00:45:47,520 --> 00:45:50,000 Speaker 1: is over, and I'm predicting, and I said this twenty 817 00:45:50,040 --> 00:45:53,120 Speaker 1: some years ago, and that's part of my cyclist forty year, 818 00:45:53,440 --> 00:45:56,080 Speaker 1: twenty year, and ninety year coming together in late two 819 00:45:56,120 --> 00:45:59,440 Speaker 1: thousand two around there when we see the biggest crash. 820 00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:04,759 Speaker 1: Number one thing to buy is the surviving cryptocurrency blockchain companies, 821 00:46:05,280 --> 00:46:07,680 Speaker 1: like buying Amazon in two thousand one or two when 822 00:46:07,680 --> 00:46:10,840 Speaker 1: I went from sixty six back down to six and 823 00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:14,880 Speaker 1: now it's okay. That's gonna be the best tech sector 824 00:46:15,320 --> 00:46:17,560 Speaker 1: coming out of this. It is the next big thing. 825 00:46:17,640 --> 00:46:21,080 Speaker 1: It is the Internet, a financial asset which is huge. 826 00:46:21,640 --> 00:46:24,000 Speaker 1: And the part of the world that's gonna boom the 827 00:46:24,040 --> 00:46:26,640 Speaker 1: most will not be China this time. They already did 828 00:46:26,640 --> 00:46:29,960 Speaker 1: it and overdid it. It will be India in Southeast 829 00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:36,160 Speaker 1: Asia will be the strongest urbanization productivity trends in the world. 830 00:46:36,239 --> 00:46:38,279 Speaker 1: After them, they have the most demographic growth. But it's 831 00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:40,759 Speaker 1: still gonna be low income for a while, so Southeast 832 00:46:40,800 --> 00:46:43,400 Speaker 1: Asian India.
