Investment advisor, risk expert and “Black Swan” author Nassim Nicholas Taleb said today:

The current global crisis is “vastly worse” than the 1930s because financial systems and economies worldwide have become more interdependent …

The global economy is facing “big deflation,” though the risks of inflation are also increasing as governments print more money…Gold and copper may “rally massively” as a result…

“We’re going to get to the point where recovery is just not soaring and they’re going to do the same again. We’re going to have a very slow recovery from here.”…

Gold, copper and other assets “that China will like” are the best investment bets as currencies including the dollar and euro face pressures…

Note: Numerous other experts agree with Taleb that this is worse than the Great Depression.

I am not an investment advisor and this should not be taken as investment advice.
