One little chart and the End of America⦠[Unsubscribe]( [Countdown To Crisis] Spot The Pattern: 1929⦠1987⦠2008⦠2022 [Jim Rickards]Dear Reader, Jim here. If you saw yesterday’s briefing, then you know that just days from now… An announcement from a major government linked agency is set to destroy the U.S. stock market. And could send the Dow plummeting by as much as 80% or more practically overnight. Again it’s not just me saying that. People like Michael Burry: “This will be the mother of all crashes…the losses will approach the size of countries.” -Big Short Investor Michael Burry Charlie Munger: “This must end badly” -Charlie Munger, Warren Buffets right hand man And even Ray Dalio: “We are in a worse position than 2008” -Ray Dalio They are all warning of the same thing. And your wealth, your livelihood, and even your happiness are all at stake. But what you may not yet know is why. Why am I so certain that the U.S. stock market is about to suffer a major collapse? Instead of telling you why, I’m going to show you… Take a look at this: [IMG 1] This pattern has appeared before nearly every major market crash in recorded history… It appeared before the 1987 stock market crash… When the Dow plunged 23% in a single day. And trillions of dollars of wealth evaporated overnight. It appeared before the dot.com bubble 2000… Just before the NASDAQ dropped 75%. And didn’t recover for nearly 15 years. And it appeared in 2007… Before the stock market lost more than half of its value. As millions of investors around the country watched in horror as their dreams of an early retirement went up in flames. And it’s set to start appearing again just a few days from now. And once it does, the stock market's fate, as well as the financial futures of millions of Americans, will become sealed… But listen, this is not all doom and gloom… In fact, not only I’m going to show you a few simple steps you can take to completely sidestep the carnage… But if you follow my exact instructions on Monday you could make a fortune as this crisis plays out. I’ll even give a trade recommendation that could 10X your money or more in just weeks or months when the market crashes, absolutely free. You see, during a massive market crash like this wealth isn’t truly lost…It’s just transferred from one person to another.. That’s why for years professional traders have leveraged opportunities like this to make themselves extraordinarily wealthy. Just take a look at what happened to Nassim Taleb. In ’87, long before he ever wrote the book “The Black Swan” Nassim was working as a trader on the Chicago exchanges. At the time the stock market was hitting all-time highs and everyone thought the good times were going to last forever. But Nassim knew that something was deeply wrong in the markets. So what did he do? He placed a simple type of trade, one that goes up when the market crashes. And even though people were laughing at him for doing it at the time. He made an astonishing 67,000% return in a single day betting against the market. That’s enough to turn a small $1,000 starting stake into more than $670,000! A literal fortune in a single day. Now of course, you’re not Nasim Taleb, and this isn’t 1987… and history doesn’t repeat itself. However, opportunities arise from crisis all the time… Just take a look at what happened during the recent coronavirus crash. While everyone else was in full panic mode and losing their shirts… Billionaire hedge fund manager Bill Ackman had an idea. If he placed a simple type of trade… One that went up during a crash... He could make an absolute fortune when the panic hit. And by doing that he was able to turn a small $27 million starting stake into more than $2.6 billion in a little under a month… That’s a 10,000% return in just a matter of weeks... Enough to turn every $1,000 into $100,000 Or every $10,000 into a $1,000,000. That’s the power of getting ahead of a major market crash. And on March 14th at exactly 2p.m. ET you're going to get your chance… You see, while the types of trades Taleb and Ackman pulled off have typically been off limits to most investors... I’m going to show you how people have had the chance to take home massive profits of as much as 1,295%...1,620%...and even 2,650% in the years that the markets crashed. It’s a completely unique way to get in on the other side of this trade. It’s like nothing you’ve ever seen before, and it’s extremely simple. You just have to know one number. The number 30. I’ll explain it all to you in tomorrow’s briefing. Stay tuned. Jim Rickards P.S. If you haven’t visited my “situation room” website, please do so right away.
