Returns 90d -8.0% (n=7) · 180d -7.5% (n=7) · 1y -12.6% (n=7)
Raw direction-aware returns on public statements — long calls credited when the price rose, shorts when it fell, shorts capped at −100% — in a rising market this mostly measures who was long, not who has skill. Returns run from the stance date; calls are rarely closed publicly, so fixed 90-day / 180-day / 1-year horizons are used. A horizon shows only once it has fully matured, and only at 5+ scored stances.

SQQQ
bullish
Julia La Roche Show · video
The largest bubble in history — built on $31T in post-2008 stimulus — is poised for a first-wave crash of 50–64% in the S&P/Nasdaq by year-end as bubble dynamics reverse, and SQQQ (3× inverse QQQ) is the highest-volume vehicle to capture that first leg down
“buy what I call the best thing to buy cuz it's high volume SQQQ... only buy a third if you want to be 100% short”

Long Dur Treasuries
bullish
Julia La Roche Show · video
Long-duration Treasuries are the only proven safe haven in a deflationary crash — TLT rose 40% in the 2008 crisis when every other asset including gold fell — and could literally double over 2–3 years if the coming downturn is worse than 2008
“TLT would literally double in value in just two to three years”

2026-08-18
GOLD
bearish
Julia La Roche Show · video
Gold joined the 'everything bubble,' surging from roughly $1,600 to $5,600 — a move faster than stocks — so reverting to its last major low (2016) implies a ~60% decline, stripping it of any safe-haven status it previously had
“Gold No, hell no. Gold's only heading down and overvalued at 5,600 top”

China Equities
bearish
Julia La Roche Show · video
China faces a structural triple-threat — 22% empty real estate, a demographic collapse from 1.4B to 800M over five decades, and a top-down Communist Party that over-leveraged its population into multi-property speculation — making it uninvestable even on the…
“China will never be the same... I don't even want to buy China for a comeback”

Japan Equities
bearish
Wealthion · video
Japan is the fastest-aging major developed economy — demographic decline was predictable and Dent called it in the late 1980s — and will shrink for 50–60 years with no immigration offset
“Japan and South Korea are the fastest aging countries”

China Equities
bearish
Wealthion · video
China is the only large emerging country already in demographic decline — it will lose 40% of its population over the next 50–60 years, which structurally caps GDP per capita well below developed-world levels and makes secular growth impossible
“They're going to lose 40% of their population in the next 50, 60 years. What does that do to you? That's not growth. That is shrinking.”
90d -14.8% · 180d -8.4% · 1y +5.1%

HOUSING
bearish
Wealthion · video
Real estate is the core of this bubble — global near-zero-down borrowing inflated prices 4× in 20 years with no productivity improvement, and Dent targets a 60–70% price decline (versus 34% in 2008), making it the most urgent asset to exit
“It's the same damn house. Four times the price and people borrowing up to 90 to 100% of it”
90d -23.5% · 180d -15.7% · 1y -19.9%

Big Tech
bearish
Wealthion · video
The generational baby-boomer spending cycle peak combined with a 27-trillion-dollar stimulus-inflated bubble points to wave-5 chart completion back to the 2009 low — implying 86% downside on the S&P and 94% on the NASDAQ
“94% for the NASDAQ, 86% for the S&P 500. You know how big a stock correction that is?”
90d -11.9% · 180d -15.7% · 1y -40.7%

AUSTRALIA EQUITIES / AUD ASSETS
bullish
Wealthion · video
Australia's demographic wave extends far longer than any other developed nation because it receives high-income, highly-educated Asian immigrants rather than lower-income entrants — its spending-wave chart resembles an emerging country, not a maturing one
“If I had to invest in just one country and just let the money sit, it'd be Australia in the developed world”

short BITCOIN / short NVDA
basket
Wealthion · video
Bitcoin and Nvidia are the two most bubble-extended assets at this top — dumb money piling in at extremes — and should be sold first before the broad crash begins
“The first things I want to sell, these are the most bubbly stocks from Bitcoin to Nvidia”

long BITCOIN / long NVDA
basket
Wealthion · video
Bitcoin and Nvidia will lead the two dominant post-crash innovation supercycles — crypto digitizing $630T in global financial assets, and AI automating professional/managerial work — and should be the first re-entry after the crash clears
“if I had to buy two things coming out of this, it'd be Bitcoin and Nvidia because those are going to be leading the two supercharged sectors”
