An Urgent Warning to All Investors

Sell everything

The stock market just had its worst start of the year since 2008.

Netflix is down 40%, Peloton is down 78% over the last year, and the DOW and NASDAQ are down more than 10% on the year.

It makes no sense that the Federal Reserve printed nearly 50% of all dollars ever to stop the stock market from crashing in 2020 but now they decided to make it in vain.

Unfortunately, that’s just the bad news. Here’s the worse news.

This market crash is likely only the beginning. March could be the month that makes us beg for losses that we saw in January.

Here’s how I’m preparing.

How can the market possibly handle an interest rate hike?

2016: Market crash is coming! 2017: Market crash is coming! 2018: Market crash is coming! 2019: Market crash is coming! 2020: Market crash is coming! 2021: Market crash is coming!

They have to be right someday. Turns out it was 2022.

The Federal Reserve has pretty much confirmed that they will be raising interest rates in March, which, historically speaking, always sends asset prices way down.

The way I see it, March is turning into a perfect storm.

The economy isn’t doing well: inflation is up and taxes are due. People always sell the most liquid asset first to cover bills/needs. It’s exactly why risky assets like crypto are taking a huge beating right now.

Here’s where things get even scarier: A large portion of the market is up to their ass with margin and calls. In fact, in Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s December statement he mentioned that inflation is more of a concern than the overinflated stock market.

The Fed’s statement even unironically mentioned the growing number of speculative memestocks. The fucking official Fed statement! Everyone (including myself) should have taken this as a clear sign that they weren’t interested in keeping your stock or crypto bags pumped anymore.

This is about to happen next

The market is so terrified of rate hikes, it’s going to crash now to stave the hikes off later.

That’s fine.

The Fed needs to fight inflation, which raising interest rates will do.

If they don’t, then we’re looking at a wage-price spiral situation that completely destroys our economy’s ability to grow, not to mention the social unrest. The Fed is in a really bad spot right now, actually, we all are.

Maybe we shouldn’t have shut down the economy for two+ years over a sickness with a 1% death rate (and continue to censor ways to treat it).

Regardless, things could get even worse than this. Higher interest rates aren’t guaranteed to stop inflation in the US right now, much like how negative interest rates didn’t allow Japan to escape deflation during the last decade.

All the Fed might end up doing is create the ultimate shit sandwich and force Americans to eat it whole.

Riches are made in recessions

Warren Buffett’s secret to investing is one simple phrase: “Never bet against America.”

Murica’ baby!

I know. It sounds trite. But Buffett is right, the economy will rebound one day.

After this article, I’m literally going to force my little 14-year-old sister to buy more stock of Etsy, Tesla and Ethereum even though she lost nearly 50% in all of those investments to date. Right now is a perfect buying opportunity.

And here’s some advice for the future: Follow smart money.

There’s a reason that Elon Musk sold a major portion of his Tesla holdings, albeit in a Twitter stunt, and why other billionaires did the same with their assets.

To be a successful investor the only thing you have to watch is the trend of cash holdings by elites and their institutions. You can’t time the market, but you can at least get an idea of what they’re thinking based on whether or not they’re piling cash.

It’s the next best thing to being in their group text.

Final thoughts

What goes up must come down.

I hate to say it but holding cash might be the best move right now.

There are going to be numerous buy-in opportunities this year and if you play your cards right by dollar-cost averaging every week, you may end up with a rock-solid portfolio when things bounce back.

And do your own research. That isn’t a meme. Companies like Netflix have God-awful subscriber numbers and no one is living in lockdowns at home anymore. I doubt Netflix can ever achieve its former glory.

Finally, we’ve been living in an artificially created, inorganic, oligarchical system that every day looks more like a complete scam money grab.

Eat a fucking banker.
