In a lively Saturday interview on King World News,Gerald Celente began by ridiculing the media’s propensity to jump from one hyped event to the next during the global financial crisis, providing a unnecessary distraction from the all-important final outlook he forecasts for investors.

“This thing [financial system] is coming down,” Celente told KWN’s Eric King.

The outcome of the Greek election is not important, according to the founder of Trends Research Institute. What’s happening in any country is not particularly important, per se; it’s the collective symptoms of a global financial collapse that investors should focus their minds upon before considering what to do to protect their wealth.
