"I'm pleasantly surprised by the resilience of the U.S. economy, and I'm bullish on the broader economy and equities," says Rick Rule, founder and CEO of Rule Investment Media. "Increasing interest rates are very bad for the long bond market, and I remain very cautious in the face of higher interest rates," he warns Daniela Cambone in this edition of Powershift: Outlook 2023. "My fear is that the structure of the U.S. economy is too dependent on artificially low interest rates and liquidity," Rule continues. "The U.S. dollar is the most liquid and transparent market in the world, and I think the U.S. government is doing it's very best to blindly wreck and weaponize it," he asserts. "There's a political conundrum we have to face five years from now, with the chronic underfunding of pension funds almost guaranteeing poverty," says Rule . He believes that, "the very volatility in bitcoin that attracted speculators and promoters, reduced its utility as a medium of exchange and as a store of value." Rule concludes, "You need to be your own regulator. When you believe the big regulators have your backs, that's the beginning of the end of your fortunes."
