I’m getting that weird feeling, like we’re coming to an intersection and I want to scream, “HARD RIGHT! HARD RIGHT!”

The break will occur in the junk bond (”High yield”) market. Some of these are now unpayable due to collapsed oil revenues that have just become unhedged. Other yields bumped up nearly 3% when the Fed raised to 0.25.

This crash or default in bonds will crush the earnings of Pension funds. Government will print to the moon to ensure Government pensions get paid.

Fiat currency will unravel, plummeting to its true value.

Buy Silver, Gold and make the usual Freeper preps.

Top of the money-making morning to all!  Stocks continued a second straight jump (up 2%) and metals remain perched at their new higher levels (silver $15.31 --a four-month high and gold $1,204.83 --a seven-month high). 

fwiw, futures markets are mixed/off for stock indexes and +0.2% up for metals.

There will be another crisis? This is not rocket science. Just look at history, and the answer will always be yes.

Just like asking, will there be another war?

This article is just full of nothingness.

I am venturing a guess that the number 21 trillion as the trigger. We as the base of this house of cards will fall. Based on CBO projections, that will be what about 2020?
