Great video, The first $100, 000 invested was amazing. But when you hit $300, 000 it’s like smashing the glass ceiling! I cried.

I like how the interviewer largely let Mr Shilling speak with only minimal interruption.

[KBTAD-Radio]

Please have him back on for another interview so he can tell us all how his plan worked out.

No way I short a market with a Fed that has lost their mind and is willing to tolerate 3 - 3.5% inflation and drop rates to 0 while also doing QE27.

How’d shorting the S&P 500 go since this aired

After listening to a bunch of these so called experts, it is becoming apparent that half will guess wrong. Set your portfolio up so you can sleep at night and ignore these shows.

Honestly at this point the bond market is more juiced than the stock market.

Every US recession since 1974 was preceded by an oil spike of 80 % or more YoY which slayed consumer spending. We haven't seen the oil spike therefore Mr Shilling is making a mistake shorting the SPX. Having said that I admire Gary for his decades of experience and wisdom. As for Katherine, she is a consummate professional.

If our economy is doing so well, why does the Fed need to cut rates?

[loveforthes]

I’m just gonna keep my money in and if/when it tanks, I’ll buy more, wait 5-10+ years (because it’s just a long investment to me) and enjoy the profits

[matthershey]

Yeah let’s buy bonds that yield nothing from a country that has 22 trillion in debt and is heading into recession

[rybolov]

S&P just did a double top at an all-time high. No way anybody sane would buy it, and anybody who says otherwise knows that if they're selling bags somebody has to be there to buy it so they're trying to stretch the top long enough to sell out.

[smokeya]

He may be wrong in the short term, but lets give him another six months and see what happens.

[robertcrotty]

I would not be shorting the S&P right now

[kingkang]

Gary is well respected and he is now accurate and prescient

Monday, December 30th, 2019 and following this person's advice to short the S&P 500 would have lost you a pile of money. I'm already very good at losing money and don't need his advice.

[fsAF]

But they’ve been saying this for 4 years 🙃

[daolingzhang]

Great interview with great investor---all the good questions asked---let the future shows us what's ahead in 1 yr, 2yr !

[roydesell]

[jacobrocks]
