Would there be any areas of safety if the markets crash?
There are a lot of questions regarding how a market crash would impact other investments and sectors. Rick Ackerman and I discuss the environment we would see when (or if) the market does pullback in a more aggressive way than some would like to believe is possible.

Trump tweeted that the US will sort out NK if China does not and gold/silver went into orbit.
I pray Trump is using bluster as in art of the deal and actually will use commonsense before any stupidity of war.
I must admit I did not like Putin’s response.
What response are you mentioning cfs?
Reported on LibertyWriters;
Putin was reported to have responded to Trump’s Tweet of We will sort the NK problem if China doesn’t, with a response that Russia will respond with force if Trump crosses any more Red Lines.
Putin had already cancelled the agreement to coordinate flight information over Syria.
The timing of Putin response was just after Trump’s Tweet about NK. However, I’m hoping that in the fog of war, Putin was actually referring to Syria and his timing was just off.
His threat of use of force, however, is dangerous. I hope this is not posturing and they KEEP communications open. Trump’s nature is a tendency to be a bit headstrong; bull in a china shop. Putin, on the other hand, is a devious snake, who will lie quiet and then strike if/when he thinks he has the advantage.
CFS,
This ex intelligence contractor ( Thomas Payne ) explains what’s going on, better than anyone else I’ve ever heard. It’s certainly worth the listen!
There is a heck of a lot of military activity going on folks.
Russian Northern Fleet and Air Defence Army holding an alert exercise. Loads of Western Maritime surveilance aircraft – Orions and Poseidons – in the air over the Baltic. RAF and USAF Joint Rivets over Baltic listening. Something flew into Fairford last night – probably a pair of B2’s.
US military searching for a suspected sub off the coast of LA. Canadian Orion has joined in the hunt.
US General in SK cancelled a trip to Washington for a Senate hearing.
Russia has closed the main road into Georgia supposedly due to bad weather. You want the road clear if you intend to mass troops in the area. An attack on SK could be an opportunity for Russia to seize Georgia.
Non verifiable but on the rumour mill – Chinese subs heading out to sea.
I heard it was the Chinese had ordered subs and chips with sea salt….
Fairford Gloucestershire? That’s where the International Air Tattoo used to be, isn’t it? I went there in 1985.
I used to prefer to go to Mildenhall airshows inthe 1980s. Great shows.
Fairford was a nightmare to get to in 1985 from where I lived. Mildenhall much easier. Shame security obsessions and the emergence of terrorism risk in the UK after 911 dumped on the great Mildenhall airshow. The only security you had to pass through was a guy looking into your driver’s window to hand you your ticket to the show. £8 a car if I recall.
Some truth, but a lot of propaganda from a different view point.
I was referrring to “Thomas Payne piece.

Perhaps China is broadening its outlook of a war started in Korea simply over the desires of their client state to argue with everybody. Perhaps they’re understanding that there could be heavy costs if they don’t step in and stop the trajectory their blustering ally has begun. Hope so.
It’s called inverse ETFs. It is 2017, time to get with the program.
I had a nice little TZA trade recently Mr Inverse ETF. You ever short the Russell 2000?
Today, silver miners are screaming that the summer doldrums will be alive and well this year.
