Stock market CRASH: What does Warren Buffett know that we don't??



Americans woke up on Monday morning to a stock market plunge after a bad day on Friday. The Dow plummeted hundreds of points, Warren Buffett is selling stocks like crazy, and to top it all off, Japan’s stock market had its worst day since 1987’s Black Monday.

Glenn Beck is understandably worried.

“Friday, we had a bad jobs report. We’re still not in a recession; indicators are showing that we’re headed towards one, but the indicators have been wrong before. We are headed towards one; we’re headed for a depression at some point,” Glenn Beck warns.

Glenn is concerned about what this might mean for ordinary Americans and the United States economy and consults financial expert Carol Roth for some advice.

Roth explains that while the Fed did not lower rates, it might be on the table in September.

“Normally, you would say, ‘Okay, the market wants the Fed to cut rates,’ but what happened is then we got a weak job report on Friday, and while sometimes the bad news can be good news for the market, in this case, they took it as bad news,” Roth tells Glenn.

“The Fed was behind the curve in terms of lowering rates,” Roth continues. “They felt like maybe this whole idea of a quote ‘soft landing,’ the idea that you can get the inflation down without wrecking the economy, is off the table.”

However, while it doesn’t look good, Roth says that “if there is any silver lining here,” it’s that the market did not open back up and continue to fall.

But there are still major indicators that something strange is going on, and one of them is Warren Buffett’s recent behavior.

“Another catalyst that we’ve seen is Warren Buffett,” Roth says. “He had lessened his position in Apple by about 49%.”

“That’s not lessening. That’s cutting it in half,” Glenn says. “He’s making some of the biggest sales he’s ever made. It’s almost as if he’s becoming bullish on America. What does he know that we don’t know?”

“Starting in 2019, he doubled down on Japan. So he has five really big companies and really big positions in Japan. So the day that we’re talking about Japan going down and at the same time the U.S. is going down,” Roth says. “It is interesting.”

'Our economy is like the TITANIC': Financial expert warns it's time to get 'into the lifeboats'



Glenn Beck said our economy today feels like we're on the Titanic, we've hit the iceberg at full speed, and the band really needs to stop playing so people will realize we're not saving this ship before massive destruction is done. Unfortunately for us all, financial expert and author of "The War On Small Business" Carol Roth agreed with Glenn's doomsday scenario, adding that it's the very people who put us on course to hit the iceberg who are now trying to "fix" things.

Carol joined Glenn on the radio program to explain the current economic battle between inflation and "a very deep recession" and how, as the world's reserve currency, decisions made for the benefit of the U.S. economy may be at odds with what's best for the global economy.

"It's called Triffin's dilemma," Carol explained. "From a global standpoint, you're at odds. Do you make decisions for the benefit of the U.S. — which I'm not sure that we can, but let's just pretend that maybe we can — or for the world? Because the world is on the precipice of a massive global recession that could cause all kinds of reverberations here."

"This is the massive puzzle that these central planners, again, have created because they thought, 'Oh, we can figure this out,' but they don't realize they aren't smart enough to figure out all these moving parts," she added.

Carol told Glenn it's time to "slow the Titanic down so that we can get people ... into the lifeboats," because it may be too late to stop the impending crash. "That's just not possible at this point in time ... so let's just be honest about it," she said.
