The Coming Financial Meltdown

Last fall I wrote, first to paid subscribers, about my forecast for a rough ride in the second half of 2026. Then I reiterated my forecast to all subscribers early this year. Then, since Trump’s war with Iran, I have written columns about how the war will deepen last year’s forecast for the second half of 2026. This is a column that updates all these prior columns, only due to the passage of time as the ‘second half of 2026’ is soon to begin.

Everything in the above linked columns I still stand on as a forecast. There have been new developments in the global/political/economic/financial landscapes that underscore my forecast about the latter part of 2026. Of course, I do not know the date and timing of this major downturn/collapse except to see it starting in late summer-early fall, say August-September.
