A 57% market wipeout nearly triggered a second Great Depression, and veteran investors who lived through 1987 and 2008 recognize the warning signs gathering right now. Boomers and Gen X have too much at stake to ignore what overbought markets, rising bond yields, and AI hype could trigger next.

The copper price and shares of S&P 500 copper mining giant Freeport-McMoRan turned sharply lower on Thursday morning after a Reuters report cast doubt that the White House would broaden tariffs to cover refined copper.

Treasury yields fell and the price of gold continued its recent rally Monday after Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent essentially warned investors not to bet against his ability to tame the government bond market. Following last week's news that the Treasury will at least double its buybacks of long-term bonds, Bessent and his lieutenants signaled their readiness to deploy the nearly $1 trillion that sits in the department's general account to pack a bigger punch. The upshot is that instead of a twist in which the government buys back long bonds while selling short-duration Treasury bills, Bessent may buy long-term Treasuries and hold onto them, which would be like quantitative easing.
