Latest / Financial Survival Network / Market Predictions and A Potential Banking Crisis - Avi Gilburt #6111
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Back in two thousand and seven, there was one major
- 0:03Speaker 1: issue on bank balance sheets. Today therefore five major issues
- 0:09Speaker 1: on bank balance sheets. So you know where people thought
- 0:13Speaker 1: that the banking system was made so much stronger after
- 0:17Speaker 1: the two thousand and eight two thousand and nine debacle.
- 0:20Speaker 1: In fact, when you pull apart the major banking balance sheets,
- 0:24Speaker 1: they're actually worse. Today you are.

- 0:57Speaker 3: Carrie Lutz. Well, today we're going to bring you person
- 1:00Speaker 3: whose predictions are not real positive. He's been right a
- 1:04Speaker 3: lot of times more often than he's been wrong. Ave
- 1:07Speaker 3: Gilbert is with us AVI. It's great to have you
- 1:10Speaker 3: back on. So tell us what lies in store for
- 1:15Speaker 3: the markets.
- 1:16Speaker 1: Well, we're looking for possibly one more push higher over
- 1:21Speaker 1: the coming month or so, assuming that you know we're
- 1:24Speaker 1: not going to break down below fifty three hundred. I'm
- 1:28Speaker 1: looking for one more rally up towards fifty eight, fifty eight,
- 1:34Speaker 1: seventy five or so, and I think once that next
- 1:38Speaker 1: rally complete, I think we could be putting a little
- 1:42Speaker 1: exclamation point on a very very long term bull market
- 1:46Speaker 1: run that from my perspective, started all the way back
- 1:50Speaker 1: in nineteen thirty two.
- 1:52Speaker 3: Nineteen thirty two, that's a lot of years. You know,
- 1:55Speaker 3: we're talking like ninety one years here. That's amazing.
- 2:00Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, it's a very we're looking at it from
- 2:03Speaker 1: a very very long term perspective. From an Elliot wave standpoint,
- 2:09Speaker 1: the nineteen twenty nine crash, which bottomed out in nineteen
- 2:13Speaker 1: thirty two, took off about eighty percent of the market
- 2:16Speaker 1: relatively quickly. On two three years is relatively quickly, and
- 2:22Speaker 1: we view that as a second wave in the five
- 2:24Speaker 1: wave structure. So from nineteen thirty two until where we
- 2:28Speaker 1: are right now, we're completing a very very long term
- 2:32Speaker 1: third wave. In fact, nineteen forty one, Ralph Nelson Elliott
- 2:36Speaker 1: himself predicted this run. He was looking for a seventy
- 2:41Speaker 1: or eighty year bull market back in nineteen forty one,
- 2:45Speaker 1: and that's that third wave that I'm talking about and
- 2:49Speaker 1: as we complete this structure up here, I think it
- 2:53Speaker 1: will will be we have enough waves to complete that
- 2:57Speaker 1: long term bull market structure with which will likely usher
- 3:02Speaker 1: in a very long term correction.
- 3:05Speaker 3: All right, And when we're talking pre call, you're talking
- 3:08Speaker 3: about the banks and potential banking crisis on the horizon.
- 3:13Speaker 1: Yeah. You know, one of the things that we're doing
- 3:16Speaker 1: for our clients is you know, of course, you know,
- 3:19Speaker 1: they ask us, well, how do we prepare for such
- 3:22Speaker 1: an environment? And it's one that we really have in
- 3:25Speaker 1: face because there's going to be multiple issues that we're
- 3:29Speaker 1: going to be facing. As an example, the banking industry itself,
- 3:34Speaker 1: back in two thousand and seven, there was one major
- 3:37Speaker 1: issue on bank balance sheets. Today therefore five major issues
- 3:43Speaker 1: on bank balance sheets. So you know, where people thought
- 3:47Speaker 1: that the banking system was made so much stronger after
- 3:51Speaker 1: the two thousand and eight two thousand and nine debacle,
- 3:54Speaker 1: In fact, when you pull apart the major banking balance sheets,
- 3:58Speaker 1: they're actually worse to and there are more things that
- 4:02Speaker 1: could take them down today and then back in two
- 4:04Speaker 1: thousand and seven, you know. So one of the things
- 4:08Speaker 1: we're looking for is we actually started a service not
- 4:10Speaker 1: too long ago Safer Banking Research dot Com, and we
- 4:15Speaker 1: have been looking for some of the safest banks in
- 4:19Speaker 1: this country, the safest banks in the Eurozone, the safest
- 4:22Speaker 1: banks in Canada. So that's really been a very big
- 4:26Speaker 1: focus of ours because what we learned back during the
- 4:30Speaker 1: twenty ten debacle in Europe when Cyprus, when their banks
- 4:34Speaker 1: went under, they did something called a bill in. Yes, right,
- 4:39Speaker 1: So I don't think we're going to have the stomach
- 4:43Speaker 1: to bail out anymore in the US, and I think
- 4:46Speaker 1: we're probably going to be moving towards that Cypress model
- 4:49Speaker 1: of the bail in going forward. And if people are
- 4:52Speaker 1: not necessarily preparing for that scenario, they could find themselves
- 4:57Speaker 1: owning bankstock instead of owning actual cash.
- 5:01Speaker 3: Uh So you think the banks would actually exchange or
- 5:04Speaker 3: give out shares or IOUs. Maybe they'll own bank IOUs,
- 5:10Speaker 3: maybe they'll be sellable.
- 5:11Speaker 1: Right. Well, what they'll wind up doing my my expectation,
- 5:15Speaker 1: like I said, in light of what we learned with Cyprus,
- 5:18Speaker 1: is they'll they'll convert a certain percentage of the of
- 5:23Speaker 1: the bank accounts of their of their client base to
- 5:28Speaker 1: restructure the bank and make it much more solid. So
- 5:32Speaker 1: whereas you know you had a certain amount of cash
- 5:34Speaker 1: in your bank. You know, some of that cash, maybe
- 5:38Speaker 1: a significant amount. I don't know exactly how much really
- 5:41Speaker 1: is going to depend on the bank. Some of that
- 5:43Speaker 1: cash is going to be taken from you and weaken
- 5:47Speaker 1: convert it into stock and shares of the bank. Now
- 5:51Speaker 1: people would say, well, how could they do this, Well,
- 5:54Speaker 1: you know, I don't believe legally they could do it yet,
- 5:57Speaker 1: but I am quite sure that the legality will be
- 6:00Speaker 1: settled later on at the end of the day. If
- 6:03Speaker 1: you're a creditor, you know, by the way, most people
- 6:05Speaker 1: don't realize that when you put money in a bank,
- 6:09Speaker 1: you're a creditor. You're a creditor, and you're an unsecured creditor.
- 6:14Speaker 1: So if a bank goes under, then you're an unsecured
- 6:18Speaker 1: creditor for the amount that you have in that bank.
- 6:20Speaker 1: That people say, well, the FDIC will stand behind it, Well,
- 6:24Speaker 1: the FDIC can only stand behind a certain amount. And
- 6:27Speaker 1: even back in the two thousand and eight two thousand
- 6:30Speaker 1: and nine debacle, I think the FDIC went their dip fund,
- 6:34Speaker 1: depositive insurance fund went negative. I think the number was
- 6:37Speaker 1: maybe thirty one or thirty one billion. I mean it
- 6:40Speaker 1: was a massiveness, and that went for a very very
- 6:43Speaker 1: short period of a banking crisis that was only a
- 6:46Speaker 1: year or so long banking crisis. What happens if we
- 6:49Speaker 1: go into a very very long term malaise and banks
- 6:53Speaker 1: have multiple issues. I don't believe the FDIC will have
- 6:57Speaker 1: the capacity to stand behind in the industry to that extent.
- 7:01Speaker 1: And I think people may be left out on the
- 7:03Speaker 1: cold if they're not preparing sooner around later, I could
- 7:07Speaker 1: get that bad. Huh. You know, I, as I say,
- 7:11Speaker 1: I am an analyst, I'm not a profit but I
- 7:13Speaker 1: can easily see this happening once we go into a
- 7:16Speaker 1: very long term bear market easily that long huh wow?
- 7:22Speaker 3: What was what was the last time we had a
- 7:24Speaker 3: bear market as long as the one you're forecasting?
- 7:27Speaker 1: Well, From an Elliott wave perspective, as I said, we are,
- 7:33Speaker 1: we are finishing off a very long term third wave,
- 7:36Speaker 1: and within that third wave, it also breaks down is
- 7:39Speaker 1: five waves. The fourth wave of this long term five waves,
- 7:44Speaker 1: the fourth wave was actually the two thousand to two
- 7:47Speaker 1: thousand and nine market correction. It was basically sideways for
- 7:51Speaker 1: nine years, and that was a fourth wave of one
- 7:55Speaker 1: lesser degree than I'm expecting to come up. So my
- 7:59Speaker 1: expectation is it should take longer than that long term
- 8:03Speaker 1: market correction. That one took nine years. My expectation is
- 8:06Speaker 1: it's probably going to take thirteen to twenty one years
- 8:09Speaker 1: somewhere in there.
- 8:12Speaker 3: Well, good thing is I'll probably be gone for that.
- 8:16Speaker 3: So when it gets really bad, and it gets really
- 8:21Speaker 3: really bad, but seriously.
- 8:25Speaker 1: People have the opportunity to at least prepare and protect
- 8:28Speaker 1: themselves now. And you know, it's better to be prepared
- 8:33Speaker 1: and hope for the best and pray for the best
- 8:36Speaker 1: then not be prepared and the worst actually happens.
- 8:40Speaker 3: Yeah, that's true too. I don't disagree with you there.
- 8:44Speaker 3: So how do you prepare cash?
- 8:46Speaker 1: Cash? Is king? Well, the answer is you have to
- 8:49Speaker 1: know if you have cash, you have to make sure
- 8:52Speaker 1: it's it's in a solid bank. That's the first thing.
- 8:56Speaker 1: The second thing is, you know, whereas the nineteenth nine
- 9:00Speaker 1: to thirty two market crash was basically straight down. There's
- 9:03Speaker 1: an Elliott wave principle called the theory of alternation, and
- 9:07Speaker 1: it says that the second wave occurs in a certain way,
- 9:10Speaker 1: that the fourth wave is going to occur in the
- 9:12Speaker 1: exact opposite way. So my expectation for this long term
- 9:15Speaker 1: bear market is that it's going to be a lot
- 9:18Speaker 1: of you know, little craft is followed by multi year rallies,
- 9:23Speaker 1: followed by another crash and a multi year rally follow
- 9:26Speaker 1: So you know, during the when you expect the crashes
- 9:30Speaker 1: to set up, clearly you go to cash, maybe treasuries.
- 9:34Speaker 1: It really depends because the treasury market is also setting
- 9:36Speaker 1: up for a crash as we look out towards the
- 9:38Speaker 1: second half of this decade, and the same thing is
- 9:42Speaker 1: going to happen in the treasury market. But overall, they're
- 9:46Speaker 1: going to be multi year periods of time where you
- 9:49Speaker 1: can invest in the market during the long term corrective rallies.
- 9:52Speaker 1: For example, two thousand and three to two thousand and
- 9:55Speaker 1: seven was a long term corrective rally. So they're going
- 10:00Speaker 1: seeing multiple opportunities for that to be able to take
- 10:02Speaker 1: your money back into the market and be able to
- 10:06Speaker 1: at least make some money during those multi year rally
- 10:09Speaker 1: But you're also going to have to be much more
- 10:11Speaker 1: cautious because of those because of the multiple crashes that
- 10:15Speaker 1: we'll probably have during that long term bear.
- 10:17Speaker 3: Market, multiple crashes, multiple waves, right, yeah, absolutely, all right,
- 10:23Speaker 3: So cash in the right bank the gold silver Is
- 10:28Speaker 3: that going to do you any good?
- 10:30Speaker 1: Well, Gold and silver we're looking to rally over the
- 10:35Speaker 1: next year, maybe two really depends how fat the next
- 10:38Speaker 1: rally takes shape. But you know, we're looking for sizable
- 10:42Speaker 1: rallies typically in silver and in the mining stocks. Gold
- 10:47Speaker 1: we're looking for a sizeable rally as well, but it
- 10:49Speaker 1: has completed a lot of its long term rally off
- 10:52Speaker 1: the two thousand and fifteen end of twenty fifteen low
- 10:56Speaker 1: So silver and the mining stocks will probably to a
- 11:00Speaker 1: big catch up phase over the next year or so.
- 11:03Speaker 1: But once they complete their long term structures over the
- 11:06Speaker 1: next year or so, also they're going to be going
- 11:09Speaker 1: into a multi year deer market as well.
- 11:13Speaker 3: Mm So everyone's getting hit. But in times where there's
- 11:17Speaker 3: credit collapse, I've heard it often said that well, the
- 11:20Speaker 3: pH nominal price of gold might go down, its purchasing
- 11:24Speaker 3: power can go up.
- 11:26Speaker 1: I mean, it's possible, now, there's no question about it.
- 11:28Speaker 1: It's possible. But I mean I think what very few
- 11:33Speaker 1: people think about this, and I believe that cash will
- 11:37Speaker 1: probably be a lot more important than people really believe.
- 11:40Speaker 1: Everybody is still looking for the US dollar collapse. I'm
- 11:45Speaker 1: looking for a sizeable decline in the the US Dollar
- 11:49Speaker 1: index the Dixie. As we look out towards the second
- 11:52Speaker 1: half of this year, I'm looking for a sizeable decline
- 11:55Speaker 1: to take hold. You know, that'll last now maybe nine
- 12:00Speaker 1: months a year. I'm not sure exactly how long it'll last,
- 12:02Speaker 1: but that's going to set up in multi year rally
- 12:07Speaker 1: in the in the Dixie. In the US dollar, I
- 12:11Speaker 1: think we could see a rally that laugh, maybe even
- 12:14Speaker 1: as long as ten years in the dollar after this
- 12:17Speaker 1: mixed decline that begins over the next few months. So
- 12:21Speaker 1: you know, whereas people believe the dollar is going to
- 12:24Speaker 1: just collapse, I'm not of that same opinion.
- 12:28Speaker 3: Okay, so the dollar is not going to collapse, but
- 12:32Speaker 3: a lot of other currencies are going to, aren't they.
- 12:35Speaker 1: Yeah, potentially, I'm not an expert in all the other currencies,
- 12:39Speaker 1: but yeah, there is strong potential for that.
- 12:41Speaker 3: Yeah, you can see it. And yeah, with what's going on,
- 12:45Speaker 3: you know, the bricks and all that, people are worried.
- 12:48Speaker 3: You think that it's going to displace the dollar. But
- 12:52Speaker 3: you know, some of these currencies that comprise the bricks
- 12:56Speaker 3: are really really perilous, like.
- 12:59Speaker 1: The you on and you know, forget it, And I
- 13:04Speaker 1: also have an issue with with the aurozone as well.
- 13:07Speaker 1: I don't they're going to come out of this very well, no,
- 13:10Speaker 1: no doubt.
- 13:11Speaker 3: So we're heading for a Dark Ages here.
- 13:14Speaker 1: You know, the Dark Ages lasted as well, they call
- 13:17Speaker 1: them the Middle Ages, whatever they want to call them.
- 13:19Speaker 1: They've lasted hundreds of years. That's not what I'm looking for.
- 13:24Speaker 3: So what about AI and its potential participation in this mix?
- 13:31Speaker 1: Here?
- 13:32Speaker 3: You see anything with AI perhaps lessening this phase or
- 13:38Speaker 3: maybe even reversing it.
- 13:40Speaker 1: Well, there are many There are many theories about what
- 13:43Speaker 1: AI is going to do. Is going to kill employment?
- 13:46Speaker 1: I mean there are many theories where it's going to do.
- 13:48Speaker 1: The way I look at AIS, I look at it
- 13:50Speaker 1: similar to what happened in two thousand. In two thousand,
- 13:54Speaker 1: the Internet was going to revolutionize everything. Meanwhile, we then
- 13:57Speaker 1: started into a nine year market when the Internet was
- 14:02Speaker 1: supposed to revolutionize everything. So I look at AI in
- 14:05Speaker 1: the same way. Everybody believes AI is going to revolutionize
- 14:08Speaker 1: everything and it's going to push the markets to crazy heights.
- 14:12Speaker 1: I look at it the same way as two thousand.
- 14:14Speaker 1: It's it's a reason everybody's looking for hire when the
- 14:18Speaker 1: exact opposite potentially can happen.
- 14:20Speaker 3: Okay, So it's true. But eventually the Internet did revolutionize everything,
- 14:30Speaker 3: right sure.
- 14:31Speaker 1: But it doesn't mean that it's going to have an
- 14:33Speaker 1: equal effect on the stock market in the way everybody expected.
- 14:38Speaker 1: In two thousand, like I said, we went into a
- 14:40Speaker 1: bear market when everybody thought we were heading for the
- 14:42Speaker 1: sky because of the Internet. And I'm seeing the same
- 14:45Speaker 1: thing with AI. Everybody believes AI is going to send
- 14:48Speaker 1: us to the sky, and I'm looking at us on
- 14:51Speaker 1: the verge of potentially starting a major bear market.
- 14:54Speaker 3: All right, well, anything else should we be buying?
- 14:58Speaker 1: Food?
- 14:59Speaker 3: Guns, gold, god?
- 15:02Speaker 1: Everybody can. Everybody can prepare as they see fit. I
- 15:06Speaker 1: would just I would just be very very careful about
- 15:09Speaker 1: you know, what assets you own, where you hold them,
- 15:14Speaker 1: and you know, also remember, you know, it's best to
- 15:18Speaker 1: have assets debt free, if you own your home debt free.
- 15:23Speaker 1: There really isn't a lot more you need to substist though,
- 15:27Speaker 1: at the end of the day, being debt free, making
- 15:30Speaker 1: sure your cash is in a safe place, you know,
- 15:33Speaker 1: you should be okay through. And also have a job
- 15:36Speaker 1: that's you know, I have a skill that is that
- 15:39Speaker 1: is easily needed and marketable. I think that's really the
- 15:43Speaker 1: best people can do to prepare.
- 15:45Speaker 3: Okay, all right, well thanks for this burst of optimism
- 15:49Speaker 3: and enthusiasm. We appreciate it. But hey, you got to
- 15:52Speaker 3: you got to tell it like it is. You got
- 15:54Speaker 3: to call it the way you see it, right, No.
- 15:56Speaker 1: No question about it. I know, like I say, I
- 16:00Speaker 1: pray that I'm wrong every single day, every miendle day.
- 16:04Speaker 1: I wake up and I look at my charts, and
- 16:05Speaker 1: I pray that I'm wrong. But yeah, I had yet
- 16:10Speaker 1: to see something that's going to tell me that I'm wrong.
- 16:13Speaker 3: All right, Well we're praying right there with you.
- 16:15Speaker 1: Ave.
