HOW TO INVEST IN GOLD: Gold IRA Investing


The United States is currently experiencing the longest period of economic expansion in its history, surpassing the previous record set during the 1990s. However, many analysts and economists are starting to question whether the country is due for a recession in the next few years.

There are several factors that are causing concern among experts about the possibility of a recession. One of the most significant is the ongoing trade war between the United States and China. The two countries have been locked in a trade dispute for over a year, with each side imposing tariffs on billions of dollars worth of each other’s goods. The result has been decreased trade and investment, which has slowed economic growth in both countries.

Another factor contributing to worries about a recession is the state of the global economy. Economic growth has slowed in many countries around the world, including China, Germany, and Japan. This has led to a decrease in demand for American products and services, which could affect American businesses and contribute to a recession.

Additionally, there are concerns about the state of the American economy itself. Many experts argue that the current period of growth has been fueled by factors such as low interest rates and tax cuts, both of which are unlikely to continue indefinitely. Rising levels of debt, both in the government and in American households, are also causing concern.

Despite these concerns, there are also reasons to be optimistic about the American economy. Unemployment remains low, and wages are starting to rise. Consumer spending continues to be strong, and many American businesses are still performing well.

Ultimately, it is impossible to predict with certainty whether the United States will enter into a recession in the near future. The economy is influenced by a wide range of factors, many of which are beyond the control of policymakers and business leaders. However, it is clear that there are risks and challenges facing the American economy, and it is important for individuals and institutions to remain vigilant and prepared for any potential economic downturn.

    Heard someone say the best season for a fin.ancial breakthrough is now, especially with inflation running at a four-decade high. I have approximately $750k stagnant in my port_folio that needs growth. What is the best way to take advantage of this downturn?

  3. Abdul Farah

    The stock market goes first and then the economy follows that's a lie main Street have been in recession for months right now.

    Must pause the rate hikes and buying bonds for short period. Aggresive tightening means a shok to World economy.

  5. Nixon Shiung

    They just lie in your face… the resession is already happening…

  6. Advance to tabletop

    With markets tumbling, inflation soaring, the Fed imposing large interest-rate hike, while treasury yields are rising rapidly—which means more red ink for portfolios this quarter. How can I profit from the current volatile market, I'm still at a crossroads deciding if to liquidate my $125k bond/stocck portfolio

  7. raul arellano

    Yes we are heading into a recession.

  8. Gengar Phantom69

    We been in a recession since april.

  9. Lord Bucket Head

    Everyone has been in a recession since Jan this year

  10. JoeyB The Lizard

    Look at the cost of living since that 1990s “explosion” you have no clue what the older generation has done to decimate everyone born from 1990 till now , good luck everyone

  11. Torture4Legacy

    We’ve been in a recession & it’s all because of this Biden administration the funny thing when Trump was in everybody gave him hell even though he wasn’t doing any harm…. But Biden can destroy America and they don’t bat an eye, the double standard BS in this country is unbelievable

  12. The Bastard Gift

    We are damn near french kissing a depression.

    biden, just like fdr and nixon did, must apply executive orders for price and cost of gas and grocery , wage, and rent regulation to provide stability. this will level off inflation. furthermore we must tax the rich, not the poor, and only make loans to the poor and middle class. this will correct inflation. the interest rates must not go any higher, and the rich must be taxed 45 percent, so that the poor and middle class can stabilize the economy before the rich wreck it any more than they already have.. biden should replace powell at the FED with Liz Warren or even better, a progressive democratic economist. we also must not put any money into war. any individuals such as putin or zelensky who cause war must be arrested immediatly and held until they can be found guilty of war crimes or sign an agreement to end all war. war, manufacture of WMDs and the sale and buying of WMDs, and murder, should be highly illegal , prevented with arrests, and those found resposible prosecuted, as soon as it starts.

    the sergeant at arms should be sent to arrest trump when he doesnt show up to testify . he should be recomended for a criminal hearing for his treason, sedition , espionage, obstruction, inciting an armed mob, and murder at the capital, destroying government property, theft of government property, injuring government employees, sending out representatives to tresspass on capital grounds, criminal negligence, dereliction of duty, violation of his oath of office, amd other criminal federal and state crimes done on jan 6th. these are not civil crimes.if trump does not show up to testify he should sit in a capital jail while a criminal trial is arranged for all of these crimes. if trump shows up and pleads the 5th, it would be a tradgedy, because then the jan 6th committee would let him off the hook for his criminal crimes. this is not acceptable. these crimes are self evident. merrick garland should just arrest him and charge trump now for all of these criminal violations of the law while he waits in jail for his criminal court date to be set and heard. he should get life for each individual crime, and get most of the time off for flippping on everyone else and putting them all away (about 300 people) for 20 years minimum with good behaviour. these are not civil cases, they are criminal, and need to be heard as criminal cases immediately. merrick garland has been protecting all of these criminals and must arrest them. steve bannon and allan wesselberg should both get 20 years, not a month ot 6 months.. all of them should, with no exception, get 20 years to life each, to save americas integrity. this is why we must vote democrat in droves in november, to take the house, senate and presidency which is long overdue. lets pass vote bill hr1 and many other much needed bills, if justice, health and well being for the people, economy and democracy are to be preserved. merrick garland must do his job now to save america, including arresting justice thomas and his wife, for planning and supporting the insurrection with the other treasonists, and biden must install 5 new justices to the supreme court now. now NOW!

    5 ways to prepare for the upcoming recession.

    1. Sell all liabilities and stockpile savings.
    2. Pay down your credit card debt with high interest and ask the bank for an interest rate reduction
    3. Accumulate 0% apr credit cards and save them as your emergency fund
    4. Think of another income source to start up aside from your 9-5.
    5. Consult/work with a professional money manager to invest like a pro, mine gave me tips 1-4

  15. Vaccinated Anti-Vaxxer

    They already changed the definition of inflation from how they measured it back in the 1980s to cpi. Why not change the definition of recession from 2 quarters of negative gdp growth to whatever the white house wants?

  16. Ole Radio Dude A.M.

    Millions of illegals pouring in. Millions of our dollars pouring out to Ukraine. People can't pay their rent, heat and food here. Thanks Joe Biden!

  17. MATT

    The best way to describe the present economy is 08' 2.0. Yes stocks are at a discount and things will eventually get better but my monthly living expense is up $3750 from $1600 and I'm left wondering what retirement have in store for me 5years down the line, I'm ill-prepared tbh, my 401k gains are zero-nothing and my stock portfolio?…OH WELL!

  18. James Ruscheinski

    stronger currencies needed to reduce inflation and grow economy

  19. steve h

    We’re already in a recession.

  20. Fuma Kitaro

    Inept lies and imagination will not make our current obvious recession go away.

  21. Bambam KIT RING

  22. Connor Rampage

  23. Vira

    Powell and Biden are to blame, massive spending and incompetence

  24. Aw James

  25. Aw James

    Usa with over 31 trillions very hugh debts, is itself bring recession for usa? We wonder how usa are going to pay back?? And consider the high yearly interest amount to pay back?..or how usa can reduce the very hugh amount of debts?? All this are problems for usa.. and itself causing usa to reccessions.????

  26. PingMan84

    Don’t care about the definition of a recession. My 401k dropped 30% and grocery costs way more.

  27. Joe L

    Seems this story is doing everything it can not to blame Biden and his administration for its big part in this recession. We need to stop spending and giving away money that we don't have.

  28. Saph One

    I am in a recession, personally. Been in one for a while now.

  29. Lurch

    Just before 2000 with nasdaq parabolic. Allmost all the talking heads were saying no reason for fear of a crash. Same in 2008. People have to work it out for themselves. I'm putting my trust in maths and history rather than stories of sales people.

  30. Laham Rayearth

    no US is not going into a recession because US is already in a recession just look at GDP

  31. Greig Sanderson

    Technically it is a recession. They even changed the definition lol

  32. brian oleson

    we have never had a common recession after a global wide scale pandemic the last one that happened 110 yrs ago brought a depression it would be the 1st time in history we pull through with a normal recession

  33. Ted Tremendous

    We having lagging data indicators from FED and know numbers from 1 month ago at best and FED actions are not known until 6-9 months later. Rate hikes Nov 2nd followed by midterms will trigger recession talk in major way. We have seen neg growth in Aug/Sept across business in US. Dollar remains strong though holding other economies up like UK.

  34. è asian phoenix

    blind as bats.. they have crashed the economy and inflation of prices is due to OIL and the war, nothing to do w consumer spending. everyone needs basic necessities!
    so stop starting wars everywhere

  35. A.K.A. AAK

    Yaaaa…..don't think it's Brandon causing this global recession. Try again.

  36. alex772350

    They won't admit it.

  37. TRAWETS64

    We are in a recession.

  38. Cesar Zumaeta Valencia

    This is stupid. The Fed is force to slow down the economy because Biden is financing a war and destroying the oil industry in the States. If fiscal policy would so its part, Jerome Powell wouldnt have to do this.

  39. Joe

    Don't lie recession is coming
