Global stock markets look more over-extended this summer than at any time since the dot-com crash of 2000. This is either predicting a big economic recovery around the corner, or a massive mis-pricing driven by cheap money in search of yield. Critically profits are already turning lower.
Readers of ArabianMoney will know our conclusion. The momentum upwards will run out soon and all investors rushing for the exit at the same time will send stock markets into crash mode. Bonds will rally and then follow with their own crash.

It makes sense to buy assets that are low in price – like gold and silver – rather than those on a high like stocks.
Silver is the biggest bargain this summer. It’s incredibly cheap and recent volatility will work on the upside as well as the downside. All you need is some patience and a strong stomach for the volatility of the ride.
