Gold Will Fall First, Then ‘Fly Sky High,’ Bert Dohmen Says

Summary

The stock market is hitting record highs driven by big tech, but cracks are appearing elsewhere, particularly in private credit markets facing massive redemption requests. Experts warn this could be the start of a major downturn, reminiscent of 2008, with Wall Street allegedly distributing risk to the public while projecting an image of stability. Excessive valuations, a lack of liquidity in private credit, and layering debt on top of illiquid assets create a perfect storm, suggesting a significant market correction is on the horizon. Investors are advised to focus on liquidity and credit trends, and consider assets like gold and silver as potential hedges against inflation and market instability.
