Sell Everything?

[Bitcoinbro]

The best thing is to not sell your coins on this moment.

Its never good to sell when you know there is a rising coming.

The halving is coming so why should you sell them.

Royal Bank of Scotland economists have urged investors to sell everything except high-quality bonds, warning of a “fairly cataclysmic year ahead.”

Writing in a client note dated Jan. 8, the bank’s European rates research team said that clients should be concentrating on return of capital, not return on capital, and that an ominous outlook to the world economy “all looks similar to 2008.”

The Key Points

• The note is particularly bearish on China and global commodities, and predicts that oil could fall as low as $16 a barrel.
• In a grim set of predictions, Andrew Roberts, head of European economics, rates & CEEMEA research said that the world has far too much debt to be able to grow well.
• He also warned that advances in technology and automation are set to wipe out up to half of all jobs in the developed world.
• The note says equities could fall 10% to 20%.
• It predicts the year will be spent focusing on how to exit positions that have benefited from long-running QE, including emerging markets, credit and equities.

A 10 to 20% fall in equities certainly isn't a long shot. QE has produced a long run-up in stock prices, and on average, we see a market correction of 10% every two years and a 20% correction every five years. Still, the advice to "sell everything" seems a bit much.

not easy to accept that this is really gonna be happen,some crisis make us confuse,and sell everything sometime wll be one of good solution,i believe that.

In the time of financial crisis, it is better to buy or save into safe assets. I think Bitcoin and gold are very safe.

Ok might call me a communist but first guess first: never trust the rating teams. The "high economists" are always certainly wrong. Why would they be able to predict next crash if they were never able to do so before?

And let's be clear, they have no interest in being right. If they make a public prediction, I'd do the exact opposite. Time to buy as it seems.

Well, if you bought when this report first came out, you're currently getting crushed. So being a contrarian just to be a contrarian isn't sound advice either.

I will never sell all my bitcoins, if I need money I would prefer to sell a part of it and rest will keep safe for the future, I would only sell all my bitcoins, if the price of bitcoins reaches to the moon.

[funkenstein]

Sell everything is right. 

Start with the dollars, the pounds, the yuan, and the yen.  If you have any of those, sell them first.

why did you invest on them if you are selling all just keep some investing on you will need it

[martinacar]

I do not think it is sensible to do so.
The value of Bitcoins are in fact now very low and it will be later become gradually more valuable. But this risk should take you.

[tn211]

You should not sell all your coins, its not the time now to sell your bitcoins, the bitcoin is getting ready for the halving. If the halving has been done the bitcoin will rise to a high amount if that happens you should sell them for sure, but you need be patient.

[southafricadude]

I have a hard time trusting anything that a bank has to say....yet when they say to sell everything I start to worry....trust or not?!

I would say be safe, and sell some, not all...you know, just in case.

[bitlancr]

If I where you. I should dont sell now. The value of Bitcoin is now very low and its not so smart to sell it now, because otherwise you dont have profit.
If you wait a little longer and the value will rise, then you can sell it and you have a lot of profit in the future.

[Altynbekova]

No please dont do that. It will be a waste if you are doing that now. The value is now very low so that is not smart.
It is better to save your Bitcoins now. the value is now quite low and I think it will be more worth later, so then you can sell it.

The halving is coming so why should you sell them.

Indeed, It would be very stupid to sell them now, the halving is coming so the price will rise for sure.
The bitcoin will increase for sure, no one will doubt about that, so do not sell your bitcoins.

[socks435]

Well i think this is the time to sell bitcoins because sooner or later the price will going down.
The price in this week is just effect of ethereum and i think the price will going down later...

[allthingsluxury]

The world is facing some monster problems and it is very likely that we are heading towards another crash. Although I wouldn't be listening to any mainstream economist. These guys are corrupt and have horrible track records.

[HarryKPeters]

Selling everything right now would be a stupid thing to do. I for one believe the price can go both ways, even now.
But since momentum is building up, a upwards stream is more likely to happen.

[Anddos]

You should sell everything. What bad cam come out of it? Worst case scenario it'll be experience.
