That the biggest economic crisis that will dwarf the Great Depression and Great Recession combined is only a few years away, if not will happen by the end of 2016 at the earliest.

In what to invest next?

Your best bet is cash in a depression. Perhaps maybe some crypto aswell like Bitcoin but its extremely volatile.
Just beware that when SHTF, there will be bank runs. So keep some cash at home to survive in the short term. It will take decades to deleverage all the debt and perhaps even a world war to reset the global economic system
Other than that, can never go wrong learning some useful skills that may come handy
>>78038384
If you believe this fucker, gold. Either actual gold or a gold ETF or even gold mining shares.

No?

What the fuck?
>>78038797
Nah.. When WWIII comes, i will be a good little war profitier and get KOSOVO and KRAJINA back to serbia
What are you planing to do?
>>78038797
I hope that cash keeps you warm when you burn it.

It is counter intuitive and the answer will most likely trigger you, but precious metals like gold and silver WILL NOT go to the moon. Gold may hit $2000 or $3000, but it won't go above it due to the fact there is an absolute limit to how many people can keep buying it on depreciating fiat.

Cash is just a suggestion. If you're a proper doomer you would ofcourse stock up on guns and food
>>78040196
It does trigger me, because whenever anyone even talks about economic happening gold and anything related to it surges as if someone found an application for it besides "oooh shiny!"
>>78038797
>cash
I think you should see what happened to Germany after ww2 and reassess that statement.
Do not listen to the Boogeyman
The economy will not collapse, China's bubble had already burst, the finger is off the trigger.
I'm portrait messages, for potential investors. STAY AWAY FROM STOCKS. The only way to make safe, secure money now is through bonds.

that was a period of hyperinflation
frankly impossible thanks to our aging population
deflation is whats next

>bonds
Top kekles. You do realise when Yellen increases interest rates, bond prices will collapse right?
>China's bubble had already burst, the finger is off the trigger
China is facing the same problem with its aging population. Once their housing market crashes like the US housing market did in 2007/08, its over.
>>78041512
Rates will go negative in the U.S before we ever see rates over 1%
>>78041512
>Chinese housing market.
Not a factor.
Bonds and mutual funds are the safest forms of investment for solid growth
>>78041836
Do you even know how negative interest rates work?
>>78041895
They are... if you're willing to wait 10 - 20 years for maturity.
China's credit rating is what, like AA-?
Once it goes down after their real estate bubble tanks, its over.
