In this talk, Harry Dent shows how the massive Baby Boom spending trends peaked in late 2007 and we have been in a naturally slowing economic environment ever since with unprecedented debt levels weighing. Hence, central banks decided to just print money nonstop to counter this trend. The problem is we now have a global financial asset bubble at $525 trillion that is near twice the debt bubble it was designed to cure. Mr. Dent forecasts this bubble will burst this year and shows that history says the first crash alone will be around 50% in 2-3 months, as occurred in 1929. That first crash could start as soon as early June. The good news is that a crash into 2022/23 will clear the economy of these financial asset bubbles, including real estate, and shed a lot of debt and zombie companies that we should have back in 2008-09. Then the Millennial generation will drive the next long-term boom from 2024 into 2036/37. Strategy: Get out of risk assets now, into long term Treasuries, not gold-and back into stocks and risk assets between late 2022 and late 2023.
