The Japan Bubble: How One Country Is Holding Up The Entire World

"so the markets got really scared and they sold off and of course right now they've recovered but I still have a lot of questions like was that the end of it did we fully unwind or is there more left to go"

"and on top of that we added another Foundation which represented all the countries in the world that wanted to get yields from their cheap loans so it looks like that creates a beautiful little pyramid but here's where it gets interesting because as things start to change like for example interest rates are no longer zero or negative we get this very interesting effect to happen then we start to remove other things like investor confidence for example kind of interesting and then of course we remove other things like Global liquidity and we get something that liquidity and we get something that makes no sense at all and that's a visual analogy of the stock market as it is today"

"so it works when things are working but when things go bad it can lead to a flash crash and that's how you can get someone to wake up one week halfway on the other side of the world and wonder why their portfolio is crashing"

"economists say that it takes on average roughly 10 quarters after the first rate increase to put economies into a recession and right now we're on that 10th quarter which means the likelihood of us being in a recession is statistically higher"

"no one knows what they're going to do until September but right now the market is predicting a 74% chance that they're going to lower interest rates by at least a qu% in September"

"now this doesn't always happen but when the FED starts to Pivot and lower interest rates that usually means the sign of a slowing economy and a potential recession ahead"
