According
to
Harry
S.
Dent
Jr.,
investors
should
ignore
FOMC
rate
hikes
and
buy
gold
-
slower
job
growth
could
cap
US
equities
prices
in
2017.
The
imminent
Greek
default
slated
for
this
July
could
be
another
stumbling
block
for
the
financial
markets.
Implementing
the
new
tax
cuts
/
health
care
plan
proposed
by
the
Administration
could
be
challenging.
The
Echo
Housing
Bubble
is
tied
to
bubbles
in
US
equities
/
bonds,
all
of
which
threaten
to
topple
the
global
financial
system.
Harry
S.
Dent's
economic
model
indicates
a
long-term
economic
downturn
began
in
2008
and
continues
to
this
day.
The
current
economic
uptick
is
merely
a
fata
morgana.
Outside
the
USA,
the
EU
and
China
are
facing
their
own
bubble-troubles.
Our
guest
expects
gold
and
commodities
to
emerge
as
the
strongest
markets
along
with
India
during
the
impending
crises.
Jeffrey
Nichols
of
Rosland
Capital
returns
with
comments
on
the
recent
FOMC
rate
decision
and
the
potential
impact
on
the
PMs
sector.
The
rate
hike
appears
to
be
a
nonevent;
the
gold
market
ignored
the
FOMC
-
anticipated
the
rate
hike.
Traders
continue
to
focus
on
real
interest
rates
-
the
everyday,
nominal
rate
adjusted
for
price
inflation.
The
official
inflation
numbers
may
be
bogus
-
our
guest
questions
the
validity
of
the
figures
noting
that
the
CPI
vastly
understates
the
cost
of
living.
The
CPI
fails
to
reflect
the
shift
in
consumer
tastes
away
from
luxury
items
in
favor
of
cheaper
consumer
goods
/
smaller
package
sizes.
Investors
prefer
the
precious
metals
as
a
means
to
shield
their
investment
portfolios
from
insidious
inflation.
The
growing
problem
of
underemployment
continues
to
plague
the
nation.
Tens
of
millions
of
American's
have
accepted
employment
/
wages
well
below
their
skill
/
experience
level.
Jeffrey
Nichols
finds
a
bifurcated
American
economy,
where
a
few
thrive
economically,
while
the
majority
struggle
to
make
ends
meet.
The
gold-bull
market
never
ended;
bullion
and
shares
are
poised
for
astronomical
gains.
