Jason Bond’s brand new service will keep you one step ahead— so you can profit BEFORE a stock or ETF sells off HARD. [Join Jason Bond live on Thursday, December 19th]([at 12 pm (Noon) ET.]( Dear trader, If you’ve seen Jason’s previous videos on YouTube, you’ve heard him say, “The stock market is on fire right now. You know it, and I know it.” However, with so many smoke signals the market is giving — [he’s rightfully changing his tune.]( The fact is this: The market has come a long way without a haircut. Too long. It seems like ages ago that we experienced the last recession. It lasted from December 2007 to June 2009, roughly one year and six months. [Image]( Now… for you youngsters out there… Nearly $10 TRILLION in wealth was DESTROYED—as Americans saw the value of their home and stock portfolio nose dive. In 2008, the economy was slowing, businesses weren’t making as much money, and many people were struggling to find jobs. Gross domestic product (GDP) was free-falling and unemployment peaked at 10%. Yet, as if by a miracle, the markets sprang back to life! Here we are today, and the bull just keeps going, as we continue to set all-time highs. If you’re one of those traders who’s still caught up in all this exuberance, prepare to have your mind blown by [Jason’s latest message on the 5 critical warning signs he’s seeing.]( As far as Jason is concerned, Wall Street may very well be more fragile today than it was back in 2007, right before the last recession. Among other problems, the level of debt we’re seeing is just outrageous. As a result of the Fed’s effort to stimulate the economy after the last recession, they added $2 trillion to the money supply out of thin air in an unconventional process called quantitative easing (QE). The Fed’s balance sheet mushroomed from $2.106 trillion in November 2008 to $4.486 trillion in October 2014. Risky biz! The Fed thinks that it can engineer a soft landing by bringing debt safely and slowly back to $0 — or at least $2 trillion again. Jason thinks otherwise. That’s why in 2020, for the first time ever, Jason is putting a heavy emphasis in his trading on short selling. And he’s put together a brand new trading program called [Smoke Signals]( to target everything from small-cap momentum to large-cap stocks that are frothy and ready to crash. Things could get real tough, real soon, guys and gals. And when they do, you’re going to want to have somebody hold your hand through this. Fortunately, an upcoming event will show you how Jason plans to do exactly that.

There’s a major issue that has red flags all over it, and the consequences could be right on the horizon. If you think back to the housing crisis, you know that the Fed initiated a process called quantitative easing, which allowed people to borrow money easily. While this has succeeded in spurring economic growth and helping the nation recover from a major financial crisis, it has nevertheless contributed to a massive pile of global debt. In this post, Jason reveals how you can prepare for the worst by capitalizing on a “Black Swan,” an unexpected event that could damage the market to the point of no return.
