Greg Hunter Interview: Paul Craig Roberts -- Looming Financial Catastrophe Hanging Over the WorldsteemCreated with Sketch.

in #money7 years ago

Greg Hunter interviews Dr. Paul Craig Roberts, PhD in economics and former Assistant Treasury Secretary, to get his opinion and insight into the U.S. and global economy. Dr. Roberts' advice is not to be in debt.

Topics:

  • IMF warning about profits at systemically important global big banks, Citibank, Barclays, and Deutsche Bank to name a few -- Banks are basically gambling by creating all kinds of derivative instruments instead of lending (0:30);
  • IMF worried about the banks making a bad bet -- derivatives on currencies, student loans, car loans, mortgages, essentially everything (5:48);
  • Money managers getting nervous about the markets (12:20);
  • Are you invested in the stock market? -- Neither the stock market nor bond market (16:08);
  • Are you in gold and silver? -- No one knows what to do -- watch the Federal Reserve's (central bank) actions (16:29);
  • Consequences for ordinary people (21:17);
  • Looming catastrophe haning over our heads -- produced by central banks -- nothing in the real economy to support these asset values (23:10);
  • What about Black Swan events like North Korea? (24:24);
  • The only thing that would stop the Federal Reserve to the liquidity would be if the U.S. dollar fell under attack -- Watch the U.S. dollar (29:50);
  • A messy financial situation (30:58);
  • What should the normal person do? -- Get out of debt -- millions of Americans only paying the minimum payment or interest only (31:56);
  • Policy makers are no longer focused on helping the people, they are focused on helping the banks -- pointless to talk about free markets (35:45);
  • And more...

Paul needs to stop smacking his lips, seriously.

i wonder when things go worst, all monetary system failed, what will happen to the world?

First people will use available cash. When that runs out it will go to a type of bartering system which may include gold, silver, precious items, and even food.
When the system resets, any debt on the books is likely to stay on the books. This is why I believe it is best not to go into debt.

Have a great day!
Steem on,
Mike

Debt is likely to stay on the books. How convient for them :):):)
