Warning: The Next Major Downdraft is Approaching
By Graham Summers, MBA
The stock market is primed for another major leg down.
Why?
Treasury yields are spiking again.
The yield on the 2-Year U.S. Treasury has exploded higher… blasting through its previous high of 4.72%. It is now closing in on 5%.
Bear in mind, it was just 1.25% this time last year.
Why does this matter?
The ENTIRE collapse in stocks thus far in this bear market has been due to Treasury yields spiking. Investors used to collect 0.25% “risk free” from these bonds. They can now get almost 5%.
As a result of this, no one is willing to pay 20-22 times forward earnings for growth from stocks. Instead they’re paying just 16-18 times forward earnings. And by the look of things it will soon be lower than that. Treasury yields keep rising… so stocks will keep falling.
This is the kind of environment in which crashes can happen. The Fed is rapidly losing credibility. And investors have been suckered into believing the “worst” is behind them: they poured $1.5 billion into stocks every day in January. And they did this at a time when my proprietary Crash Trigger is now on the first confirmed “Sell” signal since 2008.
This signal has only registered THREE times in the last 25 years: in 2000, 2008 and today.

The Liberty Beacon Project is now expanding at a near exponential rate, and for this we are grateful and excited! But we must also be practical. For 7 years we have not asked for any donations, and have built this project with our own funds as we grew. We are now experiencing ever increasing growing pains due to the large number of websites and projects we represent. So we have just installed donation buttons on our websites and ask that you consider this when you visit them. Nothing is too small. We thank you for all your support and your considerations … (TLB)
