Market Crashes Don't Scare These Professionals

You think surviving a market crash is just about staying calm and holding cash. BUT top hedge fund managers and technical analysts warn that with a $250T global "debt bomb" ticking, the old rules of "buying the dip" may no longer apply. THEREFORE, in this masterclass, four Wall Street veterans reveal the "Investor's Fortress" strategy—using Gold, Bitcoin, and protective puts—to preserve wealth and profit while others panic.

In this deep-dive livestream, we go far beyond the VIX. We analyze the "Demographic Crisis" threatening growth, why corporate buybacks might be creating a bubble, and why one expert believes growth is doomed without massive debt. Our panel breaks down specific hedging strategies, debates the safety of U.S. Treasuries versus Bitcoin, and provides a "Panic-Proof Playbook" to remove emotion from your financial planning.

Our panel features Katie Stockton (Fairlead Strategies), Mike Taylor (Simplify), Seth Cogswell (Running Oak Capital), and Gary Brode (Deep Knowledge Investing) to guide you through wealth preservation and asset allocation in uncertain times.
