Surfing The Debt Super-Cyclone

Welcome back to Milkshakes, Markets, & Madness where we invite you to share a laugh with us each week as we discuss our favorite Twitter tantrums and the madness of financial markets.

https://youtube.com/watch?v=npNJYXtTmzgBig wave surfers are some of the biggest risk takers on the planet, but they also wear life vests in case of unexpected circumstances.

Unfortunately a lot of investors are swimming naked, and don’t see the rogue waves stacking up on the horizon that have dangerous potential of wiping them out.

In this episode, the Milkshakes Duo talk big wave surfing in Hawaii and the ocean of risks lurking for investors who paddle for the wrong wave.

Is this just the calm before the storm, and if so when will the seas of change start to rock the boat?

One thing is certain, you want to make sure you already have shelter where you can hide, but don’t seek refuge under a debt-ceiling or you’re likely to get washed out with the tide.

In surfing, the saying is “know before you go”, so make sure you tune in to this week’s Milkshakes, Markets, Madness Show.

Whether you are watching from the shore, or paddling out in hopes of catching the ultimate ride, you won’t want to miss this episode because there is something for everyone waiting inside.
