It is only a matter of time before the stock market plunges by 50% or more, according to several reputable experts.
“We have no right to be surprised by a severe and imminent stock market crash,” explains Mark Spitznagel, a hedge fund manager who is notorious for his hugely profitable billion-dollar bet on the 2008 crisis. “In fact, we must absolutely expect it."

It's a sales pitch to buy a product that will help you buy the right shares which will increases your investment by 4900 %.

The shares you need to buy are available now. Fill your boots ( don't forget to buy the product first ).
Its amazing how people that know the answer to make a fortune still need to sell you things. They must do it for the love.Proudly voted remain. A global union of countries is the only way to commit global capital to the rule of law.0 -
I haven't read anything about this guy but just because he was right once doesn't mean he knew what he was talking about or that he will be able to repeat the act. There are enough people constantly predicting complete financial collapse and crashes that whever it eventually does happen you mustn't be tricked into thinking they are experts.Changing the world, one sarcastic comment at a time.0

Making a vague prediction that the stock market will crash when it is higher than it's ever been before is always a very safe bet
If it goes down 50% in 6 months times, you look like a genius, if it goes down 30% in 3 years time you can still claim you were right, it just wasn't as bad as you thought0 -

You can be 100% certain that at some point in the future there will be a reversal in the market because that is how markets work, when and from what level nobody knows. If the market gets too "frothy" then the reversal could be significant.
When it does happen, these charlatans peddling their predictions of doom will be jumping up and claim claiming that they were "one of the few to predict" it.

Yes, this is all Kosher stuff. There are lots of hedge fund managers down my local pub who all confirm it.
Just about every pensioner in the land will see his/her pension fund hit the floor so hard that they will not be able to buy a bag of Werther's Original, let alone an annuity.
Of course some funds will mushroom by 200% at the same time, and of course I know what they are. Any 'donation' of £10,000 (cash only please) will secure this information, regulated by the FSC (Fiscal Scams Conmen) of which I am the Founder, Chairman, Sole shareholder, Managing Director, and Compliance Director.
Rather suitably, if you browse "NewsMax" further, there are ways that (at a cost) you can find the secret of feeling 20 years younger. It only costs £100 initially. Apparently it doesn't actually make you 20 years younger, but simply robs you of all the cash you earned in the last 20 years and leaves you with no cash, and a £250,000 mortgage in a house worth £80,000.

I predict that eventually the stock market will fall by 100% - it is only a matter of time - either the world will be destroyed by an asteroid that Ben Affleck fails to intercept, or if not the sun will eventually super nova and destroy the solar system - whilst that may still result in UK house prices increasing it is likely to be terminal for the FTSE.0

Probably true.
Since FTSE has reached record high, this can legitimately be termed the "biggest crash ever".
Except that there will be nobody to write the 'annals of history'.
But given that a few hard disks may, in fact, be left intact and only launched into an infinite ever-increasing elliptical trajectory to be ultimately picked up, analysed, decoded, and published a trilllion years hence by an intelligent scincomorphic life form on the planet Icke, it may be worth summarising it now:
Phew what a scorcher. (Sun)
Cash bang wallop. (Mirror)
50th anniversary of "Big Bang" marred by asteroid. (FT)

Our sun is too small to go supernova but instead will expand to become a red giant before collapsing to a white dwarf and eventually , when all fusion stops , become a black dwarf.
A smart investor will have sold stocks and invested in gold before this happens, they're not making any more of it you know(not in our sun anyway!)0
