Crash ahead!

[Bill Bonner’s Diary]( Crash Ahead! By Emma Walsh, Managing Editor, Bill Bonner’s Diary This week, Bill raised his tattered “Crash Alert” flag. Based on the first-quarter data, the economy is overheating. It’s time to batten down the hatches. And, exactly on schedule, the inflation bus just rolled into town. The latest consumer price index (CPI) data showed the largest increase in 40 years. The producer price index (PPI) is also up a record amount. And readers have been writing in with first-hand accounts of rising inflation in their states. But just last week, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen was confidently downplaying any suggestion of inflation… All while directly encouraging it by keeping interest rates low and the printing presses running hot. And U.S. households have never had so much money to spend – they’re pumping all their stimulus money into dog-themed cryptos and other virtual assets. So what does it all mean for you? Read on below for Bill’s take...

Or is he still on track to take Dogecoin – and anything else that takes his fancy – to the moon? --------------------------------------------------------------- [image]( [Inflation Pays a Call]( The recent disappointing Jobs Report shows the economic recovery is waning. The flagging economy will need “fiscal stimulus,” the experts will say. And that means money-printing. And money-printing means inflation. --------------------------------------------------------------- [image]( [Warning: Crash Alert!]( Bill created the Doom Index a number of years ago. It tracks 12 key indicators to try to detect when the economy and markets are out of whack. The most recent reading, based on the first-quarter data, is 8… meaning it’s in “Crash Alert” territory. But the feds are still ignoring all the signs. --------------------------------------------------------------- [image]( [Stocks Down; Inflation Up. Fed Trapped]( The Federal Reserve’s neatly constructed bubble is coming dangerously close to the pinhead. Unemployment remains high. Stock markets are retreating. And now, inflation has officially arrived, with reports of the highest consumer price index growth in 40 years. --------------------------------------------------------------- [image]( [Watch Where You Step]( Right now, there’s a lot more fast, easy money to be made in the fantasy world than in the real world. Speculators are ploughing their money into “mischief money” like Dogecoin and the latest dog-meme crypto, SHIB. But cryptos aren’t the only prices rising. This week brought numerous worrying reports of rising inflation. --------------------------------------------------------------- [image]( [The Key to Getting Really Rich, Really Quickly]( How would you feel about betting $100 to make $1,000, $10,000, $100,000, or even more?
