    US economist makes chilling prediction for 2024 - warning
    of 'biggest crash in our lifetimes' as 'everything bubble'
    bursts

    Harry Dent has said 2024 will see the worst crash in our
    lifetimes, the effects of which will last for over a decade

    The crash will be driven by overvalued markets and excessive
    stimulus spending

    Dent urged Americans to 'get out of the way'

    . . .

    Ummmmmmm ... didn't we hear exactly the same thing at
    the beginning of THIS year ???

    Everybody waited for the Big Crash.

    It didn't happen. Instead markets went UP a fair bit
    and inflation eased a bit.

    Doom-saying has always been a popular way to gain brief
    fame - and MONEY.

    Now the PROPERTY BUBBLE *has* sprung a leak. This happened
    not really all so long ago, but people did the SAME STUPID
    SHIT all over again. Now they'll get the same red ASS all
    over again.

    A slight diff from last time ... before, the overpriced
    properties were bought/rented with BORROWED money, but
    THIS time a lot of it was PRIVATE money. That should
    lessen the systemic impact.
