Previously, Warren Buffett – the "Oracle of Omaha" and one of the most successful investors of all time – issued this warning in a recent annual letter to shareholders:
“Stock market losses of 50% or more are not only possible but inevitable in the future.”
Buffett discussed how over the next 53 years, we should expect losses similar to those experienced during the 53-year history of Berkshire Hathaway's stock. (Buffett is CEO of that company.) In the past 53 years, some of the worst losses ranged from 37.1% to 59.1%.
Buffett noted that, "... our shares (and others) will experience declines resembling those (previous declines). No one can tell you when this will happen. The light can at any time go from green to red without turning yellow."
This is (was) the first bull market to ever make it to its 10th birthday... which happened months ago. Buffett knows we're on borrowed time. We've had some stomach-churning volatility, which is often a precursor to a full-blown market crash.”
We can see today that prediction was deadly accurate.
Many people are panicking. Many people were feeling wealthy, thanks to the gains in the stock market, are now horror-stricken.
“This time is different”
“The market won't crash”
“I’ll be able to get out in time”
Most people will experience massive losses – again. Many people are woefully unprepared for the inevitable market meltdown, and it's a recipe for disaster.
