Michael Pento: Global Recession & How Not To Get Crushed Financial

Liberty and Finance, Released on 1/20/23 (Recorded on 1/17/23)

We are headed into a global recession, says portfolio manager Michael Pento. He expects an intermediate term rally in the US dollar. In this environment, he is more bullish on gold than the miners, since recessions are not positive for stocks. He cautions those holding stocks and bonds for the long-term. “Buy and hold does not work,” says Michael Pento. Investors have to understand the macroeconomic environment in these times, he says, and have a dynamic portfolio.

Thank you for your views, Mr. Pento. I’ll take them under advisement.

By the way…..you seem very sure of yourself. Do you reimburse your clients if your “models” and “strategies” prove to be dead wrong?

(I just love it when he throws around terms like “second derivative”!)

The Chinese economy had one of its worst performances in decades last year as growth was dragged down by numerous Covid lockdowns followed by a deadly outbreak in December that swept across the country with remarkable speed.
China grew 3 percent for the year, numbers released Tuesday show, much less than in 2021 and short of Beijing’s target of 5.5 percent. Other than 2020, it was the most disappointing showing since 1976, the year Mao Zedong died, when the economy declined 1.6 percent.
