Episode notes
Unsustainable US Dollar Trade Model
- The US can't continue importing real goods in exchange for printed dollars indefinitely.
- This relationship is unsustainable and is impelling the US toward focusing on domestic production and national security.
Flight to Safety Shifts To Gold, Bitcoin
- When stocks fall, investors usually flee to US treasuries, but now they're fleeing both stocks and treasuries.
- Gold and soon Bitcoin are becoming the new safe havens as trust in US debt erodes.
Foreign Capital Supports US Stocks
- The US stock market's high valuations were heavily supported by foreign trade surpluses, especially from China.
- Without that foreign capital, tech stocks will be revalued lower, while scarce assets like Bitcoin gain more appeal.
