The 6 Stage Financial Cycle Collor Plan, Tequila Crisis, Corralito… Latin America Is at Stage 5

Описание: 🚨 Latin America has seen this before. The Collor Plan froze accounts overnight. The Tequila Crisis spread like wildfire. The Corralito trapped millions. Now the region shows Stage 5 symptoms again.

The 6-stage cycle doesn't forgive. It doesn't skip steps. And Latin America — with its painful history — knows exactly what Stage 5 feels like.

🔄 THE 6-STAGE FINANCIAL CYCLE:

1️⃣ STAGE 1 — FOUNDATION
Post-crisis rebuilding. Reforms implemented. Hope returns cautiously.

2️⃣ STAGE 2 — EXPANSION
Foreign investment floods in. Currency strengthens. Growth accelerates.

3️⃣ STAGE 3 — EUPHORIA
"Latin America's moment." Debt embraced. Warnings ignored.

4️⃣ STAGE 4 — CRACKS APPEAR
Capital flight begins. Currency pressure. First defaults.

5️⃣ STAGE 5 — CRISIS ⚠️
Panic. Controls. Freezes. The population pays the price.

6️⃣ STAGE 6 — RESET
Collapse complete. New currency. Cycle restarts.

📍 HISTORIC CASE STUDIES:

🇧🇷 COLLOR PLAN (Brazil, 1990):
Stage 5 response: Government froze 80% of all bank accounts overnight. Savings trapped for 18 months. Hyperinflation "solution" that devastated the middle class.

🇲🇽 TEQUILA CRISIS (Mexico, 1994):
Stage 4 → 5 in weeks. Peso collapsed 50%. $50 billion bailout needed. Contagion spread across the region. "First crisis of the 21st century."

🇦🇷 CORRALITO (Argentina, 2001):
Classic Stage 5: Bank withdrawals limited to $250/week. Peso-dollar peg broken. Debt default. Five presidents in two weeks. Middle class destroyed.
