“What’s coming up is gonna destroy millions—tens of millions—of retirees’ retirements if they are not careful,” warns Chris Vermeulen, founder and chief investment officer at TheTechnicalTraders.com. In an interview with Daniela Cambone, he lays out a highly bearish outlook for financial markets, forecasting a severe economic downturn that he believes could rival or surpass the 2008 financial crisis. “To me, it looks like a stage four, which is a financial reset—kind of like the tech bubble, the 2008 financial crisis.”
Vermeulen predicts the S&P 500 could decline by as much as 47–55%, echoing the scale of past collapses. He also sees gold as a critical indicator of systemic risk and growing investor fear. “We’re seeing a big movement into gold because you’re getting out of the financial system. You’re holding physical assets.” Watch the full video to learn how you can better protect your portfolio.

Got that wrong. Gold is up for other reasons than markets. China is hoarding for war
Maybe central banks buying tons of gold a record amounts of gold has something to do with the price going up and they’re not going to be selling anytime soon.
Number one rule of investment
Buy when others are selling and sell when they are buying
Not me I'm out of industry super and controlling my own money not leaving it to fate at this stage of the game ,and be another stock market victim,gold ,silver ,cash
How are his calls being measured? He'd have to put his money where is mouth is if he followed his conviction and put a hard time frame in place. The motivation for selling books and clicks is different to investing.
The foreclosure tsunami is gonna be epic for investors in the coming 12 months…
It will never be understood why 70,000 morons let a loser back in who just tried to kill everybody who's terrible at life despite being given everything not a man at all who can never who will never rise to the occasion who will always fail believing he's a businessman with every bankruptcy ever existed attached to a convicted felon a terrible thief and a disgusting liar it will never be understood why this loser is deemed a businessman know when it comes to destroying things and wrecking everything then a trump will always be number one but it will always behe should have went into the manure business because he'll always be greedy crap
Gold new target is 5500$, then 7100$, 8200$ AND 10000$ AND this will come swiftly in depression.
Great data! I appreciate the straight forward numbers.
This guys analysis is only technical. He is not very good.
Cryptocurrencies and the rebirth of American manufacturing haven’t been mentioned by market crash theorists! Trump STRIPPED RESTRICTIONS off both;Economic boom like never before 🔥
No, the fed will buy it all
Thank you for sharing!
And buy what with gold
If bonds are going down and mostly your 401 k is with bonds ….how can you get rid of the bonds ?
There will be no repeat of 2008 , the printing presses pumping out trillions will start much sooner , 0% prime rate for small banks and trillions for the connected and big financial institutions . Onward marching Bubble Burster's in the new economy financial reality of free money for connected.
KEEPING UP WITH YOUR NEIGHBOR HAS BROKE US
HE HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD,ANYONE SPENDING A 1,8 MILLION ON A HOME NEEDS MENTAL HEALTH ASSISANCE QUICKLY
Thank you for another interesting and informative interview.
Cash and gold? Aren’t they polar opposite.
He’s not being entirely honest. No mention of the fact that the dollar died last June. He didn’t mention that Basel III thingy where gold will be reclassified as a tier 1 asset.
Gold is going to be reclassified as a teir 1 asset in July. Why would it pull back? Wouldn’t it surge? Then, because it’s so expensive, normal people will buy silver like crazy wouldn’t they? The reason gold is surging is because the dollar died last June. This is never mentioned for some reason…
The 190 countries could exchange one billion dollar worth of gold and all yearly mined gold will be gone
The truth is somewhere in the middle.. he may be 'feeling' too much emotion on the 'extremes'! Anybody can say there will eventually be a 'crash' if you say the same thing every week! Nobody has an exact crystal ball. These
are all 'probabilities'! Just see what 'Buffet' is doing…so yes a move down is 'highly probable' at some point.
I've been hearing from this guy since I don't remember when that the market reset is coming up that is going to wash out all assets and he's always been in cash position, sitting on the sidelines, waiting to buy in the dip and I'm sure I saw him in Toronto begging for a loaf of bread 😂
Buy Fate Therapeutics (FATE). Lupus therapy with RMAT designation and review by FDA included initial clinical safety and activity data from ongoing Phase 1 study of FT819 in SLE.
I tend to agree with Chris – a major crash is coming in the SM which WILL drag down gold, sentiment is WAY too bullish on gold, and it has had a helluva run. Good advice to be wary of paper metals investments, possibly short the SM, and pick up more metals on the decline… God help 95% of people who are financially CLUELESS! Valuable interview!
As Reagan told Carter…."Wey'lll, there you go again" 🤣
Rick Rule n host of others said gold holding is less than 0.5% n that means big fund managers don't hold any gold. If that's so, where does all the gold selling come from since it always crashes along with a big market sell-off? That 0.5% selling all their gold but isnt that just a drop in an ocean of money?
Tlt
Don’t worry about things that are out of your control.
America is going to collapse economically, and will be followed by being destroyed physically.
We are Mystery Babylon in Revelation 18. and will be destroyed in one hour.
Read it for your self.
This is the mother of all Collapses
2008 is only a fraction of what is ahead as the Ponzi Scheme has been on for more than a century the 2008 Crash should have been the end of the Road if Central Banks did not intervene with printing of Trillions of Dollars to delay the biggest crash ever
But this time nothing will save the monetary and financial system from dying
12:18 love this guy 😍 Fibonacci
People need to remember that portfolio managers are salesman.
Daniela has a ton of facial expressions, could look for hours
Chris must get so fed up of explaining basic stuff to people who just look at the fundamentals 😂 He keeps it areally cool… I would give up or become completely irate with these guys 😂
This time around it will be bitcoin not gold to sore
He shows the same bear charts for weeks now and market bulls 😀
Buy and Hold is a ticking time bomb, i don't know about that. 🤔🤔
This is the financial equivalent of those gun fanatics who fantasize about the end of the world… just so they can say "I told you so".
Patiently, I await the News, "Game Over." And it's not because I listen to Chris Martenson. I've been referring to economic/physical "Peak Progress" since the late 1980's as the scale and relative worth of commercial property development went sideways. A darth of quality goods led to the death of the US 'Malls'. Ditto, the consolidations via online sales.
Don't forget stock markets are heavily dependant on the internet too. And then a lot of volatility would disappear if quant trading goes down as computers go down and everything will become hamstrung.
When gold was hovering around 2900-3000, Chris’s chart said to expect a pull back to 24, 23, 22……never happened. I don’t think his next prediction will happen either. The only people selling now, are those who need liquidity more. Not enough for a big pull back. And china and the banks keep buying.
After every crash, a buy-and-hold investor always recovered nicely. And if you had been a dividend investor your income would hardly have suffered. Long-term markets will continue to go up, because of the money creation in our system. All you need is mental resilience when the market crashes, so that you do not sell but instead add to your positions at nice entry points. I managed to do that very well during the Covid crash and will do that again in the coming crash – which will come for sure. So always hold some cash to be prepared.
"Most people"?
A certain "class" of people.
