Financial author and demographic researcher Harry Dent returns to Kitco News to outline his case that the global economy is in an unprecedented “everything bubble” driven by 17 years of continuous government stimulus. Dent breaks down why he anticipates a significant market correction, pointing to the rapidly growing private credit market as the primary vulnerability, comparing its unregulated nature to the subprime mortgage crisis of 2008. He details his timeline for the markets, projecting that an initial stock market drop of 40% to 50% could happen rapidly.
Addressing the recent price action in the metals market, Dent argues that gold has joined the broader asset bubble and will not act as a safe haven during an initial liquidation event. Instead, he identifies long-term U.S. Treasury bonds and cash as the strategic vehicles for wealth preservation in the near term. Looking beyond the current cycle, he forecasts that India’s rising urbanization and wealth will eventually drive a massive, fundamental bull market for physical gold. Finally, Dent explains his own decision to step away from the housing market, citing the aging Baby Boomer generation as a severe demographic headwind for real estate.

Harry Dent didn't hold back today, arguing that gold has joined the "everything bubble" and that U.S. Treasuries are the only true safe haven left (Watch his explanation at 12:24).
Do you agree with his bold call to rotate out of metals and into long-term bonds, or is he underestimating gold's fundamental strength? Let us know below!
i will reserve comment but urge those that don't know DENT to look at his interviews from 2010 on…..
After this interview should I dump my Gold and buy something else. European pensions are gone the EU can't afford to pay out! But I'm nervous about bond's. He is saying a 70 percent drop in Gold price! I'm Suspicious
Hey asshole, you said the everything bubble was popping in Jan 2016. S&P hit 1810.
It is up 400%, still waiting.
Demographics say 70% population crash over next 10 yesrs.
I here for the entertainment. Harry Dent has correctly predicted all 100 of the last 5 big crashes.
I would guess that 90% of the people who have made comments about this video are to young to have experienced a real market crash. It is definitely going to happen soon and it's definitely going to hurt.
This age like a fine turd
Hes been saying this for years now…. Originally I agreed, now with AI carrying the load it isnt going to crash so hard because of AI… His history is correct, issue is there's never been AI like this, Ever…. It will change EVERYTHING… The dollar dies and new world economy will come… Good luck…
Depresding !!!!!!
Harry. Wrong again.
I do like Harry but I believe he's off base about those treasuries. I respect his enthusiasm and smarts BUT he fundamentally mis-characterizes gold/silver, especially gold as it is not just a 'commodity'. He's always entertaining and about the only guy/gal willing to prognosticate as far out as 2080! LOL!! God luv ya Harry – keep on keepin' on mate😅 Cheers all, from sunny Sydney Australia
Having 2 or 3 trillion $'s of gov,debt is one thing,40 to 50 trillion. Is a whole new shakey game that cannot keep growing forever.😅😮😢🎉
Avalanche 😂😂😂
As long as we value everything in dollar and other fair currencies that are bubbles , everything is in a bubble….except our salaries.
I’m confused why anyone would ever trust the US government at current debt levels especially if they do more QE. So I’m confused at this take. Would rather lose my money in gold
Why would you insult your viewers with this rubbish?
Entertaining commentators with these views hardly instills credibility for Kitco.
His thesis is very similar to Ed Dowd, though not conveyed as well…. most everyone agrees fiat will become toilet paper, but when bubbles crash, cash is the only place to be… and when accompanied by a huge recession, long bonds are a very good place to be. It's all about the timing…plus way too many are short the dollar and long gold… wipe out the gold believers, zoom the dollar and then fiat become trash… buy everything you can with it before then after the bubble goes…
Dent “ might” finally be correct ( after 23 years of being wrong) sooner or later, yes it later.
Where does AI figure into Dent's calculations
THIS GUY IS NOT RELIABLE. HE IS TRYING TO LOBBY SOMETHING. HE SOUNDS FISHY.
!!!!!!!!!!!! He has predicted "total collapses" many times in the last 15 years (2011, 2013, 2017) that have not happened. He is considered a "perma-bear" (someone who always sees disaster on the horizon).
Sure but with the 2008 advice you missed the greatest rally in history!!
Everything is volatile
This bubble can only be resolved by war. Your theory is based on the fact that this bubble will survive in the current geopolitical and economic system. This is its decline. You yourself say it is the greatest crash. When you cannot bear responsibility, you start a war.
Gold
Gold down, I buy
Gold up, I buy
You keep paper
I keep gold
If the "everything bubble" pops, thats world war 3, treasuries are only the safe haven asset if you want worthless dollar bills.
He was always saying this but he actually could be right this time. I agree on treasuries during the next crash. Currency crisis later will be PM's time. Anyway, PE and PB doesn't lie. It's gonna pop.
Sounds like Harry missed out on the gold "bubble"
Wow. Harry Dent no longer to listen to. Gold and silver bubbled hey? How about the comex manipulation and let there be true price discovery. Then we will see if there is a metals bubble. Give me a break.
Nobody has been more wrong more often.
Harry Dent accuracy in making predictions is 0%
Does this dude chew Bubble Gum? Just wondered.😊 I have gold. Grok tells me stay with it although treasurys might be o.k. for a while or put some there as a spread. Gold will crash then skyrocket.
If everything is overpriced then NOTHING is overpriced.
Just think about Harry reading these comments. The guy is going to go stir crazy. 🤣🤣🤣
