in 2021 he predicted that a recession is on the way and now he is more certain than ever that an economic depression is imminent at least in the USA during a more recent interview with Bloomberg Grantham detailed several aspects and facts that have been reiterated by his peers he identified the various stages and circumstances that hint at a possible or imminent Super Bubble Burst he pointed out that U.S stocks are simply way overvalued it is hard to disagree with him on this one because even famous billionaires such as Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos took in the past two years publicly or in letters to investors that their Flagship stars are overvalued he spoke quite a bit about over-enthusiasm because it is a major issue that has been noted by observers in 2021 and as recently as June 2022 during which the U.S stock market was on fire for all the wrong reasons thus a major decline of as much as 25 which is technically halfway to a full-blown collapse was followed indeed this can be confirmed by looking at the sudden massive declines in the net worth of numerous billionaires who tend to keep most of their wealth in stocks and options in simple words all the wealth that was accumulated in 2021 has been wiped out by the second half of 2022.
Grantham also described the recent Behavior by the fed and major investors as simply crazy pointing out that while the NASDAQ was hitting new highs in 2021 and the first half of 2022 even as numerous listed companies did not make any money at all the Russell 2000 was in Decline Grantham even admitted that he is the co-founder and chief investment strategist of Grantham mayo and Van otterloo a boston-based asset management firm with more than U.S 150 billion dollars in assets under management actually shorted the Russell 2000 Index and made quite a profit he emphasized that the contradiction between the two indices is very very worrying and a signal of a looming depression due to Crazy unsound investing behavior that does not reflect reality Grantham added that there are numerous strong signals that the probable U.S stock market collapse will be accompanied by a burst in the U.S real estate and mortgage Market not so different from the 2008 collapse which is bound to magnify losses and prolong recovery Grantham also had a take on commodities prices and global warming he cited that despite great progress in resolving the supply demand chain crisis the prices of Commodities oil Electronics food and consumer products in general are still going up and are predicted to keep Rising he also emphasized that these issues can and will become worse as the effects of climate change on Farming and the global food basket get worse according to the UN food index food prices globally are higher than ever other un reports state that even in Rich developed countries such as the USA the number of food insecure people is rising rapidly as for labor shortages it is a great concern not just in the USA but also in China according to Grantham where the birth rate has become a serious issue that is forcing the Chinese government to re-evaluate its entire economic strategy due to imminent labor shortages in the future Grantham also had some harsh words for governments and corporations due to their performance in adopting green policies strategies and tackling climate change issues his opinion regarding the importance of this issue is well situated and sound to the highest degree not just because of the health of the planet and Humanity in general but also due to its immense importance to the future of the global economy indeed most Nations and major power corporations around the world have been phasing out coal and even oil in power plants and adopting gas instead which is cleaner as a bridge until all fossil fuels are replaced with clean renewable energy sources by the late 2060s Grantham repeated a piece of advice that has been going around for a while now in the realm of professional stock trade and investing in general he advised that investors must look beyond the U.S stock market and mobilize their Investments to emerging markets in Asia in particular where stocks are rarely overvalued Grantham also made a very important call to investors he emphasized the importance of investing in capital Ventures citing that new ideas and Innovations in Progressive projects are not only a source of security during recessions but are also major contributors to economic strength and job creation in conclusion the U.S fed is failing at increasing interest rates in a manner that should also reduce inflation without creating higher employment rates especially in the manufacturing sector the stimulus strategies had implemented over the past two years caused the national debt to Skyrocket to new highs that are simply unmanageable and sadly all the wealth that was created in 2021 has been wiped out in the second half of 2022 due to obvious reasons including a poorly formulated unsustainable strategy the sharp rise in inequality and poor performance in tackling climate change and labor shortages issues numbers cannot lie U.S asset prices have veered three standard deviations from the trend so if you are an investor do not be surprised if the U.S stock and housing markets declined by 50 percent or more in the next 12 months and by the way according to Grantham and other experts this time there will be little to nothing the White House and fed can do to cushion the fall through Rock Bottom so that's all for today if you enjoyed watching this video leave a like subscribe to this Channel and share this video with your friends we will be back to you with another video very soon
