Is there going to bee huge financial crush soon (possibly in 2018?)

There will not be!

The federal reserve is trying to tightne the money supply.

this means there is too much cash floating around!

this means too many peopel are holding too much cash in their bank accounts.

what do people do with cash? they spend it!

what do prices do when cahs gets spent? prices rise!

so a lot of peopel are hoping that prices will fall so peopel arew holding cahs waiting for feds to raise rates! so once the feds raise rates people will buy buy buy. driving prices up up up!

we saw this in the 80's. inflation reached near 14%..

so your right we may have "real" rates of return negative. but nominal rates of return will be positive!

trump also cut taxes! and did not cut spending! this is increasing "inflation" taxes! so we are going to have even more inflation than the feds were expecting under Janet Yellen. The new person comming in is expecting even hoigher than what we were expecting. it is going to be an exciting year hold on to your hats!

those hold cash this year are going to get extra burned!
