Welcome to the Arlo & Janis Economic Newsletter. Dire conditions forecast! The flea-market industry, the second largest sector of the economy behind usury lending, is going to collapse within the next few years! If your portfolio is over-exposed in the area of flea markets and consignment shoppes, divest now! The huge demographic known as the Baby Boomers is aging and has already begun to look around and ask, “What th’ heck do we need with all this crap!?” This trend will accelerate in coming years, and the second-hand industry will be flooded with inventory. Not even the demand created by young consumers who depend on the second-hand sector for survival will be able to absorb the inevitable glut of stuff. Subscribe to the Arlo & Janis Economic Newsletter for more detailed analysis and predictions such as this.
