What should I do if the market crashes by over 90% and a Great Depression 2.0 happens which lasts for 5 - 20 years...

Holy shit this is scary.
Going to start saving money now and getting ready to buy when that shit crashes hard.

It might not crash though. It's not going exponential like the 2000 peak. What if it gains another 30 percent then only crashes 20? you missed out on 10 percent gain, you know?

Watch for exponential climbs. We've had a pretty gradual growth to this point.

Oh don't get me wrong, I'm still investing every paycheck. But I wasn't ready in 2008 (too young) and I'm ready now. I want cash or easy liquid assets so I can invest when I really need to, or when time is right.

>>Its different this time!

The gains after 08 were pretty great. People who sold after 08 fucked up bad.

Buy and hold baby.

...

>being out of the market during gains

Your prediction skills are out of this screen

Nasdaq is going to the moon !!

user's first lesson in keynesianism

If the companies you own a stake in turn a profit then you should hold. If you have invested in meme stocks then you pretty much get wiped out anyhow during a crash, but if you can you should sell.

Yea dude look how well austerity and not having control over your own currency has done for Greece.

>We are just now coming out of depression 2.0 so you already missed it
kek, if people aren't starving to death, then it's not a real depression user.

>tfw infinite nasdaq

You could just as well have predicted this.

I have over 110 ounces of silver, some gold bars of varying gram weights that I got cheap on sale at JM Bullion and Provident to help preserve purchasing power, over a month of food (accumulating more), a seed bank I keep cool and dry to use for my garden and as money if shit really got fucked, and guns/ammunition because we have a massive welfare state now and all the losers who are enjoying the bread and circuses right now will be chimping out if the conveyor belt of money, food and entertainment suddenly stops.

I have no "tribe" to speak of, so I would be in it alone. Advantageous in some ways, potentially completely fucked in others.

You mean recession, and no, we're still in it. The """recovery""" is only superficial and thanks to QE and printing currency. The injuries are still there, the painkillers have helped people of shorter attention spans forget them.

oh and I save copper pennies. I'm also 12% Ashkenazi kike.

If bluechips you hold and even increase your shares if you have liquidity, as long as you're keeping a fair amount in savings/ emergency fund.
Most people with actual money use crisis as shopping year, they buy cheap property, shares etc.

Now if you're holding meme stocks hopefully you smelled this and pulled out with losses before it went to 0.001 a share, if you didn't, well what's there to do?
You fucking hold that's what.
Sell if you see a chance to get out before it plumbers lower but if you're holding a good company short it and hold mah nigga.
In 2-3 years you'll be better than before.
Unless it's some real shit like world wide oil shortage or world war, in that case sell everything and buy gold/silver/supplies

QE ended years ago.

The fact of the matter is growth is harder to come by the more a developed a nation becomes until the next tech revolution. It's not surprising it has cooled down. China is starting experience this effect as well.

You'll never live your prepper dreams because they won't happen. Even if they did your silver and gold won't mean shit despite your beliefs. Food, water, guns, and ammo will rule that hypothetical day.

>QE ended years ago.

And it's one of the reasons the market is as superficially stable as it is.

>The fact of the matter is growth is harder to come by the more a developed a nation becomes until the next tech revolution. It's not surprising it has cooled down. China is starting experience this effect as well.

True, but has nothing to do with bad policy.

>You'll never live your prepper dreams

Who said anything about "preppers" and who said they're "dreams"? No one wants this to happen, except maybe some Super Kike 3 like Soros.

>because they won't happen.

Yes, no more natural disasters, war, economic fuckery, all things of the past because we have high definition porn now.

> Even if they did your silver and gold won't mean shit

You will give me an account as to why whenever anyone mentions precious metals, you flip into a schizo fit about the Madwalking Judge Deadmaxdredd. Metals are an insurance and to preserve purchasing power.

>Food, water, guns, and ammo will rule that hypothetical day.

Yes, they will rule the Skynet future you jerk your clitdick to, we know. No one has PM's for such a scenario.

Now snap out of it and provide some fuckin content.

You took the time to shill all over an obvious joke.

Holy shit.

>years ago
Weren't we still printing in 2015?

after trump first term it will crash. our economy is getting pumped so hard.

>>Yes, no more natural disasters, war, economic fuckery, all things of the past because we have high definition porn now.

Assuming nothing cataclysmic we have weathered these and done fine before.

>You will give me an account as to why whenever anyone mentions precious metals, you flip into a schizo fit about the Madwalking Judge Deadmaxdredd. Metals are an insurance and to preserve purchasing power.

No one buys gold or silver at full price. You explain to me how you're going to be preserving purchasing power with an item that very few people actively deal in. Our last recession in 08 no one on any appreciable scale was buying shit with precious metals.

Look I get you don't understand monetary policy, it's no big deal to admit you lack knowledge on a subject.

It just gets old year after year "the collapse is coming!" Recessions happen and we get over them. Monetary policy just makes the ebbs and flows much less extreme.

Purchases were halted on 29 October 2014

>You explain to me how you're going to be preserving purchasing power with an item that very few people actively deal in

>very few

Nigger, what? Metals aren't some arcane shit that you need to have connections to get into. Walk outside a while or fucking Google and bang, there you go. Metals are a store of value, paper fiat bullshit is not.

>Monetary policy just makes the ebbs and flows much less extreme.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA no. Central banking/the Federal Reserve makes booms and busts more extreme by trying to force markets to what they want by fundamentally manipulating them. We don't need central bank fiat bullshit. They make it worse. The only problems they claim to solve are the ones they created when they tried to solve the last one, etc ad nauseum.

Without Governmental fuckery, even the Great Depression would have been pretty brief.

>No one buys gold or silver at full price

Correct, you'll get about $20-$30 less for an ounce of gold than it's worth. So if you bought an ounce for $250, then waited until August 2011 and sold it, you would only get $1,870 instead of $1,900.

What a crushing loss. I'm being sarcastic.

No empire is sustainable and math is a reality, no matter how many Inception levels of derivatives and QE and whatever the fuck else bullshit you want to pull out of your busted twink ass. Take your "it hasn't happened yet, so it never will, r-r-ri-right?" pussyfaggotry somewhere else.

They'll do another QE eventually.

When in bear mode the market can go down for years and grind you into nothing if you own the wrong stocks

>No one buys gold or silver at full price

This is retarded. Most people who buy precious metals pay full price from dealers. Also sometimes dealers pay more than melt for junk silver coins because the price is determined by supply and demand. Maybe you are retarded and don't know how to sell and you are angry that you got ripped on some Franklin mint coins

Boy you're just full of talking points aren't you? I'm not going to argue with someone who doesn't understand the fundamentals of monetary policy.

Once again, nothing wrong in admitting you have no idea what you are talking about. You're just parroting youtube level commentary. Have a good one.

People who rode out 08 in a well diversified portfolio made incredible gains so not sure what you are on about. Only people who lost are those that failed to diversified or pulled out after the crash.

I don't deal with precious metals. I invest in things that produce value such as products and services, but I do it broadly aka index funds. Precious metals and buttcoins of all varieties are merely speculation.

If you're long term investing you keep doing what you're doing. No one can predict a crash/recession and those that try to pull out will likely do it at the wrong time and lose more money going back in again. Have some faith in the future and look at historical trends to reassure yourself that you have the statistics on your side.

>h-heh, see I called you "boy"!
>y-y-y-you j-just don't understand policy
>I'm definitely not in full damage control mode

A major crash have never been past 50 years this unlikely, buy the dip boiisss

Monetary policy is not effective anymore considering it has a zero bound and most countries already have crazy low rates. Reducing interest rates won't improve spending much if interest rates were already near 0.

The central banks will be sure to inflate everyone that isn't super rich into oblivion while suppressing gold by shorting it for the overnight interest.

Yayyyyyy liberalism!

They'll actually have to raise rates at this point to keep the market from going overwhelmingly black, even if the market crashes.

Monetary policy is exhausted.

You spend in recessions, save in boom times, basic economic mantra

Put all your assets in cryptocurrency.

lt's not if, it's when. Not even a month ago, that guy that was partners with (((George Soros))) in some of his investments saying that it's coming very soon and will be way worse than 2008.

cnbc.com/id/43328325

With the DOW hitting previously unseen levels and having been almost 10 years since the last recession, it's going to happen. lt will be just like the 1929 crash and the 1987 crash: up, up, up, and then down we go.

Another thing l forgot to mention is the obvious debt bubbles in both the US and China.

>We've had a pretty gradual growth to this point.
DJIA was riding the overbought line for a while after The Don became President Elect

but yeah, fine for now

Financial theorist who's trying to implement a strategy in the market.
75% of my portfolio are in Index funds with just enough in to open an IRA. If my long term is 30+ years, am I safe just leaving it alone in this next part of the recession? Thanks.

Why would you want to just leave it in and miss out on easy money. Just because you can't time the market doesn't mean you should just roll over and die. The market is at a high now, and will not stay at this level for more than a short while. Its time to take profits and wait for a better entry point.

Unfortunately I'm in the infamous 'Buy high, Sell low' category. I'll see what I can get out of it before the Ides of March. Hopefully I can be smarter about it from hereafter.

If it happens again there wont be any recovery. This isn't the 1920's anymore. The population is over 300 million people and half of them have AR-15's. It will be more like the french revolution on steroids.

>This isn't the 1920's anymore.

you're right, it's much easier to keep people fed and watered today than in the 1920s

Not being able to time the market is the biggest meme of them all.
>TTEETT

>easier to keep people fed and watered

No, it's easier to buy processed shit off a shelf or from a drive thru...as long as every link in the supply chain works perfectly and in concert.

If that chain is broken for even a few days? You'll have to resort to that farmland that no one has anymore (and wouldn't know how to work it even if they did) and that hunting and fishing acumen that just as few people have.

Face it, saying " it's much easier to keep people fed and watered today than in the 1920s" is like saying people are smarter today because they know how to use high technology like smartphones; the people aren't smarter, rather the technology has been dumbed down.

So it is with food and water; buying a loaf of bread doesn't make you a baker, buying a can of beans doesn't make you a farmer, buying a steak doesn't make you a hunter.

The easier our lives are made by these creature comforts, the more dependent we are and the more precarious they become.
