Systemic perspective - the historical link between high sovereign debt and stagnating growth underscores risks that can ripple into B2B trade credit, corporate liquidity, and working-capital access. TCLM often explores how such macro shifts influence finance operations; might be a useful lens for external risk.
I am 70 and went back to work last year because of inflation. We barely make it now. I hope I stay healthy for a long time because I can't afford to retire again. And I started out with 500,000. Didn't realize that wouldn't be enough...
Ok..Doug is showing how debt is strangling growth..I understand but as American citizen , 81 yr old DIY very meager stock mkt investor comfortable life style what should we do with info Doug brings to us??..I’m not in position to loose money I’ve worked so hard to build. If I sell shares (not 401 or IRA) in my portfolio on any large scale I’m looking at capital gains taxes all at once for that tax yr ..(sure I have 20%in cash/short bonds to buy on dip but I’d rather not play waiting game..)
It’s like a waiting game ..on stock mkt down turn on scale of pandemic or 2008…I follow Tom Dyson best I can but I’m not protected as he advises..anyway I’m rambling so enough
Bite the bullet my friend. I cashed out my IRA 16 months ago, paid the cg tax and recouped my taxes in 16 months by buying gold in my hand. I will never look back. Of all the people I have talked to,especially professional men none would ever consider doing something like that. I have great concern for good people with their money in ira's,401's and pension funds among others. Of course if you have money in a 401 you already have invested in pension funds whether you like it or not. This story I relate goes on and on and gets worse so at the possibility of sounding like a gloom and doomer I will stop. God's blessings to all.
Sell 50% of stocks with good profits, especially tech stocks. Pay the tax and shift the remaining to gold ETF and gold stocks when correcting (like now). Eventually buy a long dated far out the money put option on QQQ, for instance 400 Put January 2028 with 2% or 3% of your capital.

As Alaisdair Macleod says, "Get the hell out of credit and into gold."

Don't wait for anything!
If you have to take a hit with tax, better that you buy physical gold and silver with what you're left with than losing everything.
Also gold and silver mining stocks are worth educating yourself in.
