01/24/22 - Is the stock market overvalued? Have we reached the pinnacle of the equity market? A few years ago, stock legend and fund manager Jeremy Grantham turned from a stock bull to a vocal equities bear, and he is now predicting that the US 'superbubble' will pop, wiping out $35 trillion in stocks and housing. He is quoted as saying “The equity bubble… has now been joined by a bubble in housing and an incipient bubble in commodities. Avoid US equities and emphasize the value stocks of emerging markets and several cheaper developed countries, most notably Japan. Speaking personally, I also like some cash for flexibility, some resources for inflation protection, as well as a little gold and silver.
BRICS and gold are interrelated. And as BRICS continues to go higher, you're going to track gold. You're going to be able to know where gold's going. We're going to see, now that this is confirmed, they're going to back purchasing gold. Russia announced that they were increasing gold purchasing by over six hundred percent for September. They had to meet a number. The BRICS membership is a twenty eight year cooperation agreement. It excludes the United States dollar base. It has a use your partner's business as your own. In other words, we've all got to work together if we're BRICS members. Instead of going outside, we stay inside. We use the inside currency, mBridge. We back it by gold. Every nation has to proportionately put up some measure of gold. Obviously, Russia, being one of the largest economies, now is sitting over that two trillion, two and a half trillion dollar economy. It has to measure up to the same standards percentage-wise, importantly. And so this announcement is kind of like announcing that the U.S. government is going to buy stocks and buy all of them up.
Christian is a guest speaker on the latest Voice of Reason podcast. Concerning the upcoming unrealized capital gains tax for US citizens… Kamala Harris, after being elected president, will write this law into effect and say “This is what we start taxing you on January 1st.” Whatever you own on December 31st of 2024, that's what's going to carry over to January 1st, and that's the asset base. Then they're going to use this model to come and get your asset base. What would you do differently today knowing Harris’ policies? Price control alone is going to destroy the economy. There's no way they would have broadcasted these policies, this unrealized capital gains tax, which is nothing more than a wealth tax.
We have to be thinking what if Kamala wins? What would I do now? What would I do differently? What would I do for the future? And that's really what this is all about, and the reason why the Coens and the Blackstones and Blackrock are buying hard assets is because they know that that the Republicans will ultimately not take the white house forever and eventually will succumb to a hardcore left ideology both on a social and fiscal policies.
