In the world of investing, it can be hard to predict what the future holds. Economic downturns, crashes, and bull markets can come and go without warning, leaving investors scrambling to adjust their strategies. However, according to one expert, Sam Burns, there may be a unique opportunity on the horizon – one that doesn’t involve a recession, a crash, or a bull market for commodities.
In a recent interview, Burns shared his perspective on the current economic landscape and why he believes there is potential for growth in certain areas, despite the challenges facing the global economy. According to Burns, while many investors may be focused on traditional commodities like oil and gas, there are other sectors that are poised for growth in the coming months.
One of those sectors, according to Burns, is gold. While gold is typically seen as a safe haven investment during times of economic uncertainty, Burns believes that its value could continue to rise even in the absence of a recession or crash. He points to factors like geopolitical tensions, inflation fears, and the devaluation of fiat currencies as reasons why gold may be a solid investment choice for savvy investors.
In addition to gold, Burns also sees potential in alternative commodities like lithium, cobalt, and rare earth metals. These materials are essential components in the production of batteries for electric vehicles, making them increasingly valuable as the demand for EVs continues to rise. Burns predicts that companies involved in the extraction and production of these commodities could see substantial gains in the near future.
Despite his optimism about certain commodities, Burns does caution investors to tread carefully and conduct thorough research before diving into any new investment opportunities. He advises against getting caught up in the hype surrounding trendy sectors, and instead encourages investors to focus on long-term growth potential and sustainability.
Ultimately, Burns’ outlook on the market offers a refreshing perspective for investors looking for opportunities outside of the traditional bull market or recession predictions. By keeping an open mind and considering alternative investment options, investors may be able to capitalize on the unique opportunities that lie ahead. Whether it’s gold, rare earth metals, or another emerging sector, there may be potential for significant growth on the horizon – even in the absence of a conventional market trend.

I always thought that if a country could target half or maybe a quarter of a percent DEFLATION (growth of money supply lags growth of GDP by .025-.050) every year that might be perfect.
The loan market would function according to the environment: The expectation of a gain in purchasing power would be priced into the interest rates, i.e., would tend to lower the cost of capital. Banks in need of liquidity would have to attract capital by paying savers higher interest rates, which would raise the cost of capital. In any event the market would price the expectation of minor deflation into the interest rates. Sure the economy wouldn't look like it's screaming at all times, but all economic growth would be healthy and substantive rather than illusory (inflationary).
Consumers would still be buying t.v.'s and cars but with the added consequence of: Our currency being a long term store of value. Money being more scarce and therefore used more efficiently. Interest rates reflecting the actual level of employable capital in the economy. Boom and bust cycles calming to a more smooth ebb and flow. The working class having its savings protected from inflation. Politicians having to exercise fiscal responsibility. Wars being waged far less flippantly. An era of sound banking; preceeded, perhaps, by a series of banking failures.
This would of course have to occur against the wishes of the current establishment and therefore has virtually no chance of ever happening, but it is a useful construct in the argument against those who favor inflation.
