I spent several years of my career in real estate, so I've seen a bubble or two. I've watched them inflate, I've stepped out of the way, and I've watched them explode into carnage.
It's never pretty.
Right now, with so much attention on global growth, tariffs, tax reform, and the stock market, no one is really paying attention to a bubble – a dangerous one – forming up right now in Europe.
Why care about Europe?

I'm going to show you some charts in a minute – some of the scariest charts I've seen since 2008, really.
And then, of course, I'm going to tell you exactly what kind of cash position you need to have to get through what I think is coming around the corner…
