Warren Buffett: The Depression That Will Change A Generation

In less than a month, the NASDAQ 100, housing some of the world's biggest companies, fell by over 10%, shocking investors. But was it really unexpected? Warren Buffett has been stockpiling cash since 2017, a move that’s accelerated recently. Without explicitly saying why, Buffett's actions suggest he’s anticipating a major market downturn. By analyzing the Buffett Indicator and recent market behavior, it's evident we might be on the brink of a significant recession. This video delves into historical trends, interest rate impacts, and the precarious global economy to shed light on why Buffett's cautious strategy might be a warning we can't ignore.

From my analysis, people overpaid for homes even while loan rates were low, I believe there will be a housing catastrophe because these people are in debt. If housing costs continue to drop and, for whatever reason, they can no longer afford the property and it goes into foreclosure, they have no equity since, even if they try to sell, they will not make any money. I believe that many individuals will experience this, especially given the impending mass layoffs and rapidly rising living expenses.

Guys, this might be obvious to say, but be careful of bot comments recommending this or that advisors. These are likely meant to trick you into things. Be careful!!!

The continuously changing economic conditions in our society have made it necessary for people to find additional sources of income, thus I am looking at the stock market to fuel my retirement goal of $3m, my only concern is the recent market crash.

[LejlaGöransson]

Rate cuts commence in June 2024, taking 6-8 months to complete. A potential crash, if any, might occur by March 2025. The soft landing narrative is gaining traction, making this big recession everyone is calling for less likely. With $1 million from a business sale, I'm seeking profitable investment opportunities for the next 3 years.

Like a forest fire that wipes out the old trees to make room for new growth, bearish periods ultimately establish a new crop of stocks to buy and watch while setting the stage for a robust new uptrend.I have been reading articles of people that grossed profits up to $250k during this crash, what are the best stocks to buy now or put on a watchlist?

The U.S. economy can actually get better if only the govt can start making better decisions for the sake of it's citizens, cos' they've really made life more difficult for its residents. Hyperinflation has left the less haves bearing the brunt of the burden. Its already eating into my entire $620k retirement portfolio. Like where else can we invest our money with less risks?

Every time a household name like Warren makes a big move, it instantly creates uncertainty in the markets. 75% of my $400k portfolio comprises of plummeting stocks which were once revered. Do i liquidate and bear losses or just hold on?

Honestly, this concerns me and has left me uneasy. Especially this potential depression, no more a recession. I'm unsure about my $130K account strategy, considering the uncertainty of this whole recession mostly.

In these unpredictable times, it's crucial to manage money wisely and invest prudently. My $240k reserve has been idle with little profit not increasing more than 5% and people are predicting a crash, inflation is eroding my savings. I need a solution to protect and grow my funds.

The crash/recession/depression that just won't happen. I think it's crazy it hasn't happened already, but "it's coming. It's coming" just keeps my life locked in paralysis. Had to give up the crash and get to living.

You can’t take it with you folks. Enjoy your time. It’s the only real currency at the end of the day and the more of it you waste worrying about would COULD happen, the more you lose sight on what actually IS happening. We all serve a master. Find out what master you serve. Because money ain’t a good one .

Buffett doesn’t know anything we don’t. He got rid of the Apple stock because he was already 900% in the profit. If he didn’t believe in Apple, he would get rid of all of it. He’ll take the profit so he has plenty of cash to buy lots of companies that go down, very smart man

[michaelslifecycle]

Wasn’t much of a shock. Most stocks are way overpriced. Buffet is a value investor. All you have to do is look up the book value of most companies to realize they aren’t a good buy. That’s why he has so much cash

Graduated in 2008. It's been nothing but repeated recessions everytime you manage to pick yourself back up.

"Is a depression even possible anymore? Remember Covid, remember 2008, the 1958 Eisenhower recession! I say nay nay nay."
Thank you Mr. Kingsbarns, wise words from a talking horse.

You really couldn’t have explained this any better

It’s common sense. In order to cut Fed must increase money supply. That spikes inflation. Bond holders then require higher yield on long term bonds which will cause long term rates to go up, while the fed is dropping short term rates. The fed obviously knows economics and knows this. But, their purpose is to save a dying economy at the expense of higher long term rates, until the collapse happens - in other words the rate cuts are designed to “kick the can down the road” at the expense of a worse collapse. The final conclusion can only be that this is a controlled collapse, engineered as the great economic reset with the participants being the fed, well for me tho Bitcoin is the ultimate defence against a tyrannical been engaged in active trading and managed to grow a nest egg of around 2.3Bitcoin to a decent 24Bitcoin....I'm especially grateful to Linda Wilburn, whose deep expertise and traditional trading acumen have been invaluable in this challenging, ever-evolving financial landscape.

Deflation is great, far superior to inflation. Lower prices improves the standard of living. The only reason governments (not people) fear deflation is because the system currently prioritizes debt and inflation. Those who can afford to be leveraged to the hilt (the rich and connected) don't want deflation because it hurts debtors. Governments need inflation as its hidden tax. Lower prices are a sign of an improving, more productive economy.

Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.
