Be Extremely Worried” Warns Jim Rogers

Coming Wall Street crash biggest in a lifetime!

“[In] 2008, we had a bear market because of too much debt,” says legendary investor Jim Rogers. “Look out the window since 2008, debt
everywhere has skyrocketed.”

“It’s a simple statement that the next bear market will be the worst in my lifetime because the debt has gone up by such staggering
amounts in the past 14 years.”

It’s been a while since we checked in with Jim Rogers, but he is an informed and often prescient voice. During the brutal bear market
of the 1970s, the Quantum Fund, which Rogers co-founded, beat the S&P by an incredible 4,150 percent, making it one of the best-
performing hedge funds ever.

Since there is no substitute for up-close and personal real-life experience, Jim Rogers has twice driven around the world, once by
motorcycle, crossing primitive frontiers and backwater boundaries in search of investment opportunities.

It has been a long time – too long – since we last wrote about Jim’s outlook. In fact, last time we did, the national debt was only $22
trillion. Now it’s about $10 trillion higher, with the statutory debt limit being raised again. (If nothing else, we need to be aware
that things are moving fast… very fast).

Back then, Jim was saying that things in America peaked out in about the year 2000. “Since then,” he says, “with Dubya’s $5 trillion
war against Iraq… Obamacare… quantitative easing and a negative real fed funds rate for 10 years… transgenderism, the Kardashians, Lee
Greenwood, trillion-dollar deficits, $22 trillion in federal debt, fake money, fake interest rates, and fake wars – it has been all
downhill.”

Speaking to a group of fund managers in May, Rogers addressed the debt crisis, foreseeing trouble for both the country and the dollar:
“Every country in history that’s gotten into this situation has had serious problems eventually,” the investment veteran said. “And we
will, too.”

“You should be extremely worried because if you’re not, you don’t know what’s going on,” he warned. “Many countries are starting to look
for alternatives to the U.S. dollar, partly because of its horrendous debt problem.”

Jim Rogers is a gold and silver investor himself. “The best place to be when you have inflation is real assets, and real assets are
commodities,” he said.

Soros Fund Management Chief Executive Says Additional Banks Will Fail: ‘There Are More Problems Under The Surface’

Dawn Fitzpatrick, the chief executive of the $5.61 billion private investment firm Soros Fund Management, says the crisis in the U.S. banking sector is not yet over, and more failures are on the way.

In an interview with Bloomberg, Fitzpatrick said that additional bank failures are on the horizon, citing ongoing concerns and warning signs within the troubled banking sector.

“I think you are going to see more bank failures, likely in the small banks. So it’s not going to be the big headlines and the size of the failures we had so far. But I think there are more problems under the surface,” she said.

“The Federal Reserve has said they’re doing a comprehensive review of bank regulation. I think what that’s going to look like is enhanced stress test, AOCI (accumulated other comprehensive income) exemptions I think are going to disappear. That’s [when] people did not have to mark things to market,” Fitzpatrick added.

Will an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) big enough to knock out all power in the US ever come? Most definitely.  Will it actually put us in total-nation blackout? It depends on who you ask.

An EMP is a pulse of energy caused by the interaction between charged particles.

An EMP is an “electromagnetic pulse” and comes from one of the four fundamental forces of nature: electromagnetism. In a nutshell, electromagnetism is the interaction between charged particles that create electricity (the flow of electric charges) and magnetism (the force that attracts objects or pushes them away).

With this in mind, an EMP is when a short, intense burst of one of these energies occurs. Imagine a quick electrical surge, and you get the picture.

How Do EMPs Affect Humans?
EMPs generally have little direct effect on the human body, though recent research is showing that certain types of EMP exposure might cause issues in the nervous system and the brain.

How Do EMPs Affect Electronics?
The big concern with EMPs is the way they impact electronics. The same way lightning hitting your house can fry your power sockets, an EMP pushes more energy into the wiring and chips of power stations and electronic devices than they were built to handle, doing irreparable damage like:  Coupling. Causing different parts of electronics to couple (a metallic wire and optical fiber, for example) in ways they weren’t meant to. Short Circuits. Interrupting the intended path of an electric current and causing systemic shutdown. Serious Physical Damage. Overloading physical components like wires, causing them to overheat and fuse together.

Three power grids run most energy in the United States

It’s well known (both to us and our enemies) that the US electric grid is highly vulnerable. There are only three grids that interconnect to run most all of America’s power: The Eastern Grid, the Western Grid, and the Texas (ERCOT) Grid. That’s a lot of eggs in very few baskets.

As far back as 2012, the National Research Council found that the current configuration, with its outdated infrastructure and operational protocol, makes our power grid a sitting duck to what’s called “cascading failures”—a domino-like collapse that could take out an entire power grid.

Here’s how that would happen: A massive EMP would overload a section of the grid. That section would collapse, and as a safety measure automatically shift the extra load to another section. That second section would then collapse and pass on the energy. In little time, most or all of the grid could be fried.

As Daniel Baker, physicist at the University of Colorado puts it, once these components are destroyed, “you can’t exactly buy another at Sears.”

The damage could take months or years to replace, leaving hundreds of millions of people (or even the entire country) in an indefinite blackout. It would be like living in the 1800s without any of the old-fashioned resources or know-how to survive.

Where Do EMPS Come From?

EMP sources include lightening, earthquakes, volcanoes, and nuclear detonation, solar.

NATURAL SOURCES FROM THE EARTH
Having said that, not all EMPs are necessarily capable of the same levels of damage. The impact would vary depending on the source.

For example, the earth is regularly hit by EMPs from earthquakes, volcanoes, and lightning—with little to no backlash.

When it comes to massive, earth-shattering events, the two sources most experts worry about are nuclear and solar EMPs. Here’s what we could expect from each.

NUCLEAR
When you think of a nuclear bomb, you probably imagine a mushroom cloud, blast wave, and radiation.

One effect that’s gotten less attention until recently, though, is the EMP triggered by a nuclear detonation—a mix of gamma rays and air molecules that send electromagnetic radiation corkscrewing through the atmosphere.

Some experts estimate a nuclear EMP could shut down massive sections of the power grid for miles around the blast and trigger that “1800s-style” blackout.

One of the most vocal of these is Dr. Peter Pry, executive director of the EMP Task Force on National and Homeland Security. A few years ago, he testified before Congress that such a worst-case scenario could potentially wipe out 90% of the population through starvation, disease, and societal collapse.

Before we start running for our bunkers, though, groups like the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) are convinced that the damage from a nuclear EMP wouldn’t be nearly so apocalyptic. Simple mitigation measures should prevent most of the damage.

Others point out that even though China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran have reportedly been working on weaponizing EMPs, they would probably never use them. The same sense of “mutually assured destruction” that’s prevented nuclear war for generations would also
prevent an all-out EMP attack.

SOLAR FLARE EMP
The most concerning source of EMPs are massive coronal ejections from the sun.

Like clockwork, our amazing sun is on an 11-year cycle of fluctuating sunspot (cool areas) and solar flare (explosions of energy) activity—sometimes up, sometimes down. The peaks in activity are called “solar maximum” periods and the troughs are called “solar minimums.”

During solar maximums, the sun produces about three massive solar flares per day, called “Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs). These events rarely do any harm here on earth, but, under the right conditions, a large enough mass ejection from the sun would create an EMP that wreaked total havoc on just about anything running on electricity.

For perspective, the last time this happened was in 1859, in a famous incident called the Carrington Event where a massive CME caused telegraph systems all over the North America and Europe to fail.

Nuclear Vs. Solar: Which Is a Bigger Threat?
So, which type of EMP event should concern you most? If you’re in a proper prepping state of mind, the answer is both. But all told, a solar EMP is the more threatening of the two, if for no other reason than pure inevitability.

The sophistication, expense, and will needed to pull off a nuclear EMP attack is borderline prohibitive. First you have to get a nuke. Then the nuke has to be carried or otherwise propelled about 20 miles into the upper atmosphere—three to four times higher than a commercial jet. At that point, it would have to be detonated, probably remotely, in the right location.

All in all, a tough job, and one that only a handful of sovereign nations could handle. Add to that the fact that such an act would likely usher in World War 3, and there are plenty of natural deterrents.

A solar EMP, on the other hand, is inevitable. It costs nothing and requires no special effort other than just waiting. The sun produces CMEs almost every day and at some point one of those ejections is going to be big enough to blast earth with a massive, destructive EMP. It’s not a matter of if, but when.

Why Are EMPs So Dangerous—Possible Scenarios
It doesn’t take a huge stretch of the imagination to see how an EMP could devastate a modern city. Airports, hospitals, banks, water, food—just about every aspect of our lives depends on electricity to operate. An EMP has the potential to take them all out at once, and to keep them out for weeks or months.

Here are a few of the most concerning scenarios a massive EMP could put us in. Keep in mind, these are worst-case scenarios. Things may never get this bad but it’s prudent to be prepared for the worst, either way.

TESTIMONIALS

I have been a subscriber to Mark Leibovit’s VR-Trader newsletter for approximately 20 years and depend on his market/economic insight each and every day.
I am a Registered Investment Advisor and his information has been “spot on” from when I began with him many years ago.

Mark not only dispenses market timing advice but valuable economic updates as it applies to all of us in the investing world.

This is my morning read each and every day as well as his intra-day market alerts which are also most valuable.

Over the years, I have tried many other analysts but have since discarded them as Mark is always the best.

I’ve been a subscriber to Mark as early as 1989. Learned of his exceptional market timing through him being one of the ten ‘Elves” on Wall Street Week with Louis Rukeyer in the mid 1980s and also via the service that rates market timers call Timer Digest

After I lost much money in the 1987 stock market crash, I added Mark’s expertise as part of my tool box to prevent large losses and make good money when the market is in an uptrend. This enables me to keep my emotions out of my trading and meet my financial objectives.

There seem to be as many newsletter writers as there are stars in the sky.
Whether these are wroth the money depends on 1. their experience 2. their timeliness after and 3. their accuracy.

Hi Mark,Thank you for your excellent Newsletter service that provides us financial information and training about economics and stock markets including some political impacts. If you do not send the Newsletters, then I feel like I am
lost. The previous charts you provided in the Newsletters were hard to read with 32 inch monitor, but the DIA chart in the 2/7/2018 letter is very readable.

Thanks,

Mark,

I have reached the age where it is time to leave trading behind & spend the few years I have remaining in a stress-free pursuit. From here on out, that means fishing with the grandkids.

Please cancel my subscription at the next renewal date. I have remained a subscriber for quite a few years because you are simply the best newsletter out there. I have learned much from you over the years and have made enough money from your guidance to be able to make the decision to leave it all behind me.

Thanks for all the help over the years. Best of luck- and next year in Jerusalem!
