Kerry Lutz and Michael Markowski discussed the possibility of a Great Depression due to a decrease in auto demand, the cost of manufacturing cars, and the slowing of cash flows for the biggest companies. They also discussed the inability of the US government to print money to mitigate the situation due to inflation. Michael Markowski discussed the regional bank crisis and how it is further causing a depression. He suggested investors stay cash heavy, invest in government bonds with a double A plus credit rating, and consider long short hedge funds to generate higher returns in volatile markets. He also recommended signing up for his website AlphaTack for access to his latest reports and updates. Visit Michael at https://alphatack.com Visit us at https://FinancialSurvivalNetwork.com
Summary: Is there a financial crash in our future? Michael Markowski has predicted all three major crashes since 2007, and appears in this episode to tell us why we're on the road to another. He makes a couple of significant predictions: a 69% decline from the peak to the trough for the S&P 500 and a third US Great Depression that will set in by the end of the year. Michael describes some of the ways in which the S&P 500 can go down by a minimum of 45% (which is required for a depression to occur) and that this decline can be anticipated by understanding investor psychology. Secular markets in particular condition investors to be either fearful or greedy, shifting attitudes towards risk. Michael discusses his company, AlphaTack, and their algorithm-backed strategies that introduce investors to hedge funds with the goal of “growing assets against the wind.” He explains how they integrate in-depth research and market data to provide solutions to investors, and names some sectors and allocation targets they're working with. Tune in to this episode for expert insight on the crash, and tips on how to prepare. Useful Links: Financial Survival Network AlphaTack Link to Michael Markowski's presentation slides

Michael Markowski, longtime stock analyst, researcher and part time financial columnist, discusses his “Social Community Investing” system. By focusing on cash flow, he has developed his methodology for evaluating and determining the potential growth of emerging companies. Recognizing the opportunities of particular pockets of the digital economy over the next few years related to smart phone uses, Crowd Funding, and others, he foresees that these changes in technology and public financing systems will create dynamic, even explosive growth of ten to one hundred times in hundreds of stocks over these next five years. Using examples of Uber, Air BNB, Fitbit and others, he sees explosive growth in certain industries tied to the digital economy, partially due to Crowd Funding. No question, this is one fascinating, unique interview, even for our show. It is a must listen for our listeners.
