An Abrupt and Cascading Dislocation
John Hussman
At its core, a market crash is nothing but risk-aversion meeting a market that's not priced to tolerate risk. We always become concerned about “trap door” outcomes when rich valuations are joined by deterioration in the uniformity of market internals - which is our most reliable gauge of speculation versus risk-aversion among investors. Our concerns about trap door conditions become even more pointed when investor confidence has been destabilized. We are presently on high alert for a possibly abrupt and cascading market and economic dislocation in the weeks ahead.
In particular:
* Wage growth was not uniform across industries (so some people felt the hardship more than others).
* Many didn’t feel that inflation was going down based on how much they were already spending.
* Many people are underemployed in temporary positions or working multiple part-time jobs.
* Americans are saving less and are taking on more debt.

This podcast may disturb, make certain people angry & cause denial. However, that's because it strikes a "nerve" (is true in many social contexts)

For responsible adults only! Welcome to the NAP News - News About People & Parrots, though not really about parrots - News about what people talk, and what people squawk - and what people do & don’t do. And News about what people squawk - when they don’t really mean what they squawk and do really do what they squawked, they would do. In this episode, the NAP Satire News asks the question, why are so many humans full of it?
