stock-market-crashThe fact is the market will crash again, it always does. Market declines have occurred nearly every decade for the past 200 years. It is the very nature of the stock market. This has a devastating effect on retirement planning and investments. Depending on your portfolio, all of your invested assets could potentially disappear overnight.

For example, the recent 2001 ‘tech bubble’ and the 2008 financial crisis, cost investors tens of trillions of dollars of lost wealth. The astronomical losses of this meltdown destroyed our real estate market, costing many families their homes, retirements, and lifetimes of assets.

What do you think the future of our market holds?

Economists around the world predict we are near our next financial crisis. World renowned financial experts Harry Dent, Mark Faber, Peter Schiff, and Robert Wiedemer will all tell you our market is at a turning point. Mark Faber states, “I think somewhere down the line we will have a massive wealth destruction. I would say that well-to-do people may lose up to 50 percent of their total wealth.”Many of these economists claim our recent financial crisis was nearly a precursor to a catastrophic economic event.
