Coal miners were famous for bringing canaries down into the mines with them, as the birds served as an early warning system for poisonous gases. If the canary suddenly died, that was an important signal for the miners to drop everything and rush back to the surface. Today’s guest expert, macro analyst John Rubino, has shared with us in the past the early warning indicator he watches closely to alert him when a recession is likely about to hit. And that indicator has suddenly started flashing a bright warning. What’s the indicator? And what is it telling us to expect? To find out, we’ll ask him directly.

John Rubino founded the popular financial website DollarCollapse.com in 2004 and sold it in 2022. Mr. Rubino is the co-author, with GoldMoney’s James Turk, of The Money Bubble and The Collapse of the Dollar and How to Profit from It. He spent the 1980’s on Wall Street as a Eurodollar trader, equity analyst and junk bond analyst. During the 1990’s he was a featured columnist with TheStreet.com and a frequent contributor to Individual Investor, Online Investor, and Consumers Digest, among many other publications. His latest work can be found at https://rubino.substack.com.
