The End…
Teresa van den Barselaar | February 09, 2019 | Hey Subscriber, "2012," "The Day After Tomorrow," "Independence Day," "Armageddon," "Volcano," "Twister," "Deep Impact," "War of the Worlds," "I Am Legend," "Bird Box…" Plausible or impossible, I love, love, LOVE disaster and doomsday movies! Not so much the doomsday reports that we seem to hear with increasing frequency nowadays. Like news that the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists have kept the Doomsday Clock set at two minutes to midnight. Or the revelations the authors Darrell Bricker and John Ibbitson present in their new book Empty Planet. I received my copy on Thursday but have yet to crack the spine. I have, however, read the Wall Street Journal review and it sounds like the news from these two men is chilling. I'm dying to dig into it. The long and the short of it is that the world doesn't face a population explosion like we've been led to believe. Rather, the opposite is the case, and we face the decimation of the human race… in large part thanks to our own progress (I'm not talking nuclear extinction or some apocalyptic event… but rather just a case of fertility choices made by women and couples). In light of our demographic bent here at Economy & Markets, what with Harry's Spending Wave and the updated Spending Waves book we're about to publish… and his long-stated view that population growth will not be what the "experts" are projecting… this is a topic that we're covering like a blanket. It's also particularly pertinent right now considering President Trump's war against illegal immigration, and his seeming reversal on immigration in general, as he indicated in his State of the Union address on Tuesday. Now he says he wants more immigration. A lot more. We wonder if he's finally starting to see what Harry's seen, and been preaching, for three decades?! That is, there are increasingly more dyers than buyers and that, without immigration, developed countries are on a slippery demographic slope to the grave. Even China, which is still technically classified an emerging country, isn't immune from the powerful impact demographics has on… well… everything. In fact, Harry's going to be talking about this at the FREE Asia Wealth Virtual Summit 2019. Specifically, he's going to explain how China's workforce is shrinking, how its urban migration has reversed, and how it's the domino that could set off the cascade of bursting bubbles across the globe. Do yourself a favor: sign up to attend this free online conference. At the very least, it'll be a fascinating "watch." When it's done, let me know what you thought of the speakers and Harry's message. Write to me at economyandmarkets@dentresearch.com. In the meantime, let's recap what we talked about in Economy & Markets this week… Dalio, Tax Cuts, AAA, the Fed…?
By Harry Dent Why does Ray Dalio see the opposite of what I see? Am I really wrong about the inefficacy of Trump's tax cuts? Will I tell you when it's time to buy AAA corporate and Treasury bonds? What's to stop the Fed from printing even more? Schumer and Sanders to Investors: We Want Your Money
By Rodney Johnson Senators Bernie Sanders and Chuck Schumer have proposed legislation that would stop public companies from paying dividends or buying back their shares unless they meet certain condition. The senators want to verify that companies have done enough to support employees before they give anything back to investors. This is not-so-subtle code for, "We want your money!" Catching Up on Critical Updates Post the Government Shutdown
By Lance Gaitan As we play catch up on the data not released during the longest government shutdown ever, let's look at some good news… Rent to Live… Buy to Rent
By Harry Dent Here's a strategy aimed at people living in unaffordable areas like San Francisco, Los Angeles, Miami, or New York… rent the home you live in, then buy another house in a more affordable area and make rental income off of it! That's all for this week. We'll talk again next Saturday.
