No, I’m not talking about a video game or a horror movie. I’m talking about the end of the road for a bunch of “zombie” companies that have been getting by merely on cash handouts from the government.
The fact of the matter is, a lot of companies in the market are “undead,” meaning they should be bankrupt, but aren’t, for unnatural reasons.
The unnatural reason is, they’re being propped up the fast-flowing cash, the same kinds of cash that is leading to high levels of inflation.
People forget it, but when the pandemic started, there were tons of companies everyone expected to go bankrupt.
They survived, but should they have?
Companies that can’t generate enough revenue to pay their debts become zombies, relying on the Fed for help.
And now that the Fed is about to make a major policy shift, making money harder to get, that means a ton of companies could be in major jeopardy.
This article estimates as many as 3,200 zombies are in trouble.
Deutsche Bank projects that nearly 20% of publicly traded companies are zombies!
Imagine 20% of companies going bankrupt nearly overnight.
Are you starting to see why I think a crash is such an imminent threat?
I just recorded a class talking about why the Fed is making this policy shift, why so many companies are zombies, why it could spark the next major crash, and how we can prepare for it.
