You seem to fear financial turmoil, I understand it, and relish it, because it's not a disaster but a phase of a game that can be won quite easily if you know how to play.
Could you elaborate?

Financial turmoil is only one factor to consider in the next crash. Like millionaire Trevor Berwick I've already moved myself and my assets off shore for the big event.

Lol, it's not going to be that bad. All of my assets are safe though, I have them... Well secured.

Entire states are going bankrupt but the Americas finances are in perfect order. That makes a lot of sense.

Illinois debt is about to be rated 'junk.' What that means

Even the most bankrupt states don't have all that much debt, aside from notable exceptions like MA, which has the highest debt per capita at nearly $11,000. Most states have 4k or less debt per capita, which could easily be wiped away with a burst year of higher taxes, perhaps 2% income tax across the board.

Its hard to pay off the debt(14.6 billion) when all the taxpayers are leaving the state.

Bullsh**. I could create an index to show literally anything.

Stocks are overvalued, we're due for a correction. And it'll be a standard correction ala 2008 or 2001. I'm actually surprised the cycle has lasted this long, but 8-15 years is a typical bull to bear cycle in the markets. Waiting for the bears to come rolling in, so I can go full bull and make a fortune.

The Fed is getting ready to pull the plug on the markets.

What does that mean for stocks?

We're going to have the 3rd and worst crisis in 20 years.

Rather that look at financial indicators for when the collapse will happen, we should probably look for the situation when most of the boomers retire, and so the ticks become bigger than the dog. Then whatever financial juggling goes on, we will face an actual resource crisis.

Boomers are a bane, not a boon. They cost far more than they are worth, are far less productive than their younger counterparts, and will pass on substantial wealth when they die.
