GOLDSEEK RADIO

Jan. 25th, 2019(S14-E680)Featured GuestsCEO Paul Snow & Bill MurphyPlease Listen HereShow HighlightsBill Murphy of GATA.orgreturns to the show with fresh insights on the PMs sector.Palladium is key precious metal in the auto manufacturing sector used primarily for emissions reduction in gas engines.China and other BRICS nations are stockpiling the metal amid a global shortage.The price of Palladium recently reached parity with gold.Palladium's sister metal, Platinum is $400 less expensive and is an excellent substitute metal for palladium.The price differential may present an appealing arbitrage opportunity.Silver also has a highly inelastic demand curve with not just one key application but thousands of industrial uses.If BRICS manufacturers turn their focus towards silver, an epic short-squeeze scenario could erupt.Silver, arguably the"King of industrial metals" could ascend to parity with competing precious metals, 10-100 fold higher.Once investor's passion for paper assets evaporates a tidal wave of capital could flow into the relatively tiny PMs sector.Given that sources seem to indicate that most new money managers were inactive during the 2000 shares bust, the impact of a 3 sigma event could send reverberations around the global financial arena.Factom Blockchain CEO, Paul Snow makes his show debut with an overview of his unique distributed-ledger blockchain.Factom was built from the "ground-up," designed to restore transparency to distributed ledgers via a dual token system.FCT security tokens are separate from the daily operations tokens that resemble forever stamps.The Proof of Work (PoW) is similar to Ethereum Gas, versus Proof of Stake (PoS) such as BitShares.Factom brings blockchain immutability to the ledger system facilitating previously impossible services.Factom improves the real estate sector, restoring faith in transactions, such as loan origination, and closing.Another key Factom use case includes the Internet of Things (IoT) in homes and office networks.Analysts project growth in connectivity with mobile phones, laptops, desktops, TVs, kitchen and household appliances.Most IoT connected devices currently deploy few if any security features, representing a weak point of easy access.IoT networks are vulnerable to attack, creating a threat to the entire network.Factom is already working with the Department of Homeland Security to shield key camera and surveillance devices.Factom thwarts spoofing by highly sophisticated hackers.As such threats become more prevalent Factom will be positioned with first-mover advantage in the IoT eco-space.For added security and peace of mind, the Factom Protocol embeds data directly into the Bitcoin and Ethereum blockchains through the Merkle treealgorithm for merely $0.001 per ten minute hashing cycle, $1.00 per week, $52 annually.

Jan. 4th, 2019(S14-E677)Featured GuestsMichael Pento& Bob HoyeHappy New Year!Please Listen HereShow HighlightsMichael Pento, President and Founder of Pento Portfolio Strategies LLC returns to Goldseek.com Radio with comprehensive economic analysis.While his Autumn economic / market downturn came to pass as predicted on this show, market rallies may be merely selling opportunities.Investors are encouraged to prepare for "... a global depression, the likes of which we've never seen..."In the wake of QT operations via 9 Fed rate hikes, the higher cost of issuing new debt has eliminated much of the incentive for corporate buybacks.Unlike 2008-2009 Great Recession where Fed Policymakers held merely a $0.8 trillion debt load and the luxury of a 5% lending rate cushion.Today, merely 2.5% rates plus the enormous $4 trillion Fed balance sheet threatens the validity of a new round of QE Part II.The global economy could be facing an imminent deflationary economic collapse.Economic stabilization in the 2018-2019 could require 24/7 printing at the US Treasury.Such operations would decimate free markets, initially through debilitating deflation, followed by the panacea of last resort, dollar-devaluation.The end result: rampant inflation reminiscent of Zimbabwe, Argentina and the Weimar Republic.Given the financial risks outlined in the dialogue, the guest / host concur that the nascent PMs bull market presents excellent diversification / insurance opportunities.Season 14 kicks off with part II of the discussion with Bob Hoye of Institutional Advisors, with stellar news for gold shares aficionado."PM's stocks will go to the equivalent of $10,000 gold," in the nascent bull market advance.The dialogue includes the "citizen uprising" occurring throughout Europe and North America.The host underscores the timeless wisdom of Mohandas Ghandi, who promoted societal enhancement via nonviolent resistance.Economic history is replete with examples of cooperative trade that boosted the GDP of all nations involved despite sociopolitical differences.Each country concentrated on its own relative competitive edge via Ricardo's models to the overall benefit of humanity, the hallmark prosperity.Much of the recent prosperity was unknown merely 2-3 generations hence; society was devoid of antibiotics, AI, air travel, refrigeration, mobile phones.Once trade barriers are erected, Adam Smith's invisible hand is burdened by taxes, reducing economic benefits of trade.The Fed rate hiking cycle was clearly a key component of the equities zenith of 2018 and subsequent selloff.The most glaring contributing factor is arguably the trade war between the US and China, where policymakers have chosen to ignore the lessons of history.The Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act as well as the subsequent stock market collapse of nearly 90% and the Great Depression that followed.Will history rhyme resulting in the Great Depression II, eclipsing the deluge of the 2008 Great Recession?The increased market volatility and shift in CME FFF's contracts encourages investors to deploy defensive safe-haven investing methods.TIME article for Bitcoin naysayers.Putin signs anti-animal cruelty legislation.

Dec. 28th, 2018(S13-E676)Featured GuestsBob Hoye& David MorganHappy Holidays - Merry Xmas & Happy New Year!Please Listen HereShow HighlightsPart II of the discussion with the head of The Morgan Report includes an update on gold.The PMs sector remains at bargain levels, a relative value to virtually every competing asset class and core of every solid investment portfolio.Gold aficionados may be enjoy a sea-change in market sentiment in the New Year, emerging victorious as the investing champions of 2019.Our guest recently added a new investment newsletter,Energy Stock Profits with options strategies and long-term portfolio plans.The discussion offers words of encouragement to the hundreds of millions of struggling working and middle-class listeners.The power of positive thinking cannot be overstated according to our guest, it is essential to maintain perspective on how fortunate we are.Toxic global debt must be addressed in a cogent, proactive fashion via strong leadership in the US and China.Additional concerns on the horizon: a US government shutdown of 25% of services and the threat of cyber warfare as US public utilities, corporations and even the Pentagon remain vulnerable to external digital-threats, such as zero-day attacks and related hacks.Bob Hoye of Institutional Advisors, and the host discuss the worst US stock market plunge in over 100 years, the "Mnuchin Massacre."The Dow Jones Industrials plunged 1600 points last week, falling 650 further on Monday, recording the worst monthly decline its 122 year history.The equities decline could foment a nascent PMs bull market with the potential to launch gold shares into orbit.However, on Wednesday another record was set, the largest daily point-advance in history, as bulls pushed the benchmark index 1,000 points higher.Investors were reassured that rumors of Jerome Powell's demise had been greatly exaggerated, he will remain the Fed Chairman until retirement.Last Friday in the Market Weather Report, it was announced the US Fed appeared to have finished the rate hike cycle 6 months ahead of schedule.According to the CME's FFF contracts, the probability of a rate hike in 2019 is low for all FOMC meetings.Investors interpreted the news as a sign the domestic economy is not as robust as forecasts suggest.The Fed could likely return to a more dovish stance, reversing from quant. tightening to quant. easing to the benefit of the precious metals markets.After correctly remaining bearish for years, Bob Hoye expects a new PMs bull market in mining shares.Our guest encourages subscribers to consider accumulation of gold shares during price-reactions.

Dec. 14th, 2018(S13-E674)Featured GuestsGerald Celente& Peter SchiffPlease Listen HereShow HighlightsFounder of the Trends Research Institute and Globalnomic® Trend Forecaster Gerald Celente returns with the economic forecast for the new year.$1,200 is the floor for gold - once the bulls push the price over $1,450 the sea change in sentiment could ignite an ascent to a new record over $2,000.Topping the list of catalysts that could move the PMs sector include a spike in oil price from a potential war in the Persian Gulf or the Ukraine.2019 could see an economic 9/11 part II, not from the closely watched trade war, but instead from the risk of higher rates.To stop an economic melt-up the US Fed is currently slated to ratchet up the overnight lending rate another quarter point at the 18th-19th FOMC meeting.Although domestic home prices remain mostly firm, higher rates have put pressure on new home sales making housing less affordable.Higher rates translates into "The end of cheap money," for borrowers and corporations, many of whom participated in costly share repurchases.Our guest questions how long rates will remain elevated - global central banks could be forced to abruptly drop rates like 2008-2009.While Gerald Celente notes the economic data suggests shares are overpriced, Stansburry Research is predicting a "Melt up" in US shares, where the Dow doubles to 50,000 and perhaps much further, mirroring the sentiments of The Forecaster, Martin Armstrong.In part II of the discussion, Peter Schiff, head of SchiffGold, Euro Pacific Capital, and Euro Pacific Gold Fund (EPGFX) offers his latest insights.Gold and related precious metals markets are building a base for the next big bull run, similar to palladium, projected by the host to surpass gold.The guest advocates converting cryptocurrencies into discounted PMs to benefit from the new uptrend, as Crypto-geddon related losses extend into 2019.A bottleneck in liquidity between buying / selling cryptocurrencies appears to be a key component of the 2017 bubble and the subsequent 2018 crash.The blockchain concept shows great promise to revolutionize virtually every area of commerce, education, and government.Peter Schiff outlines concerns that the magnitude of the 2017 top and decline imparted irreparable damage to the typical HODLer.The sea change in investor sentiment might suppress price until the last holder tosses in the proverbial towel.Still the tenacious Bitcoin refuses to disappear, especially in Japan where it is nationally recognized as a currency and used regularly in retail transactions.Similar to the Dot.com fallout from 2000-2003, the weaker cryptos will evaporate clearing the forest for new growth and innovative technologies such as Ethereum, a currency with numerous use cases.Subscription Options                                           Monthly : $29.89                                            USD - monthly                                           Annual : $142.85                                            USD - yearly                                           5 year : $487.00                              

Dec. 7th, 2018(S13-E673)Featured GuestsHarry S. Dent Jr.& Bob HoyePlease Listen HereShow HighlightsHarry S. Dent Jr., the Author of Zero Hour and Editor of Economy and Markets newsletter - link to FREE newsletter, rejoins the show.Gold, silver and related shares appear to be building a solid base for an advance as well as cryptos where Bitcoin could ascend to $25,000.The Blockchain concept will thrive as the backbone of the new Internet 2.0, with profound utopian-like implications for virtually every aspect of life.Entertainment, employment, banking, finance, education, legal, healthcare, insurance, voting security and government with benefit from the blockchain.The decentralized peer-to-peer, transparent, blockchain based currency model will over time, inevitably overturn the opaque and highly regulated fiat model.The Blockchain will lessen the frequency and magnitude of economic bubbles and their subsequent contractions.The worst of the US stock market correction seems to be in the rearview mirror at least until the Fed wraps-up the rate hike cycle in mid-2019.Next year could mark the ultimate zenith for US equities as the current price "Bubble" culminates with the Dow Jones Industrials topping 30,000.The resulting price crash could mirror the -89% drop in '30-'33.The bubble parallel extends to the ominous Dot.com peak of 2000 where trade tariffs and immigration issues may have contributed to the declines. Current markets have extended beyond the dreams of avarice, including global real estate, stocks, and commodities.A primary Baby Boomer group that comprises 50% of spending will soon curtail purchases, potentially in a significant decline in GDP growth.The net affect could slow domestic economic output for years, further burdening the already challenged system where over half of US households already require Federal assistance.In Part II. with Bob Hoye of Institutional Advisors, the narrative includes cryptocurrencies.The high level of misinformation surrounding the de facto currency of the future requires closer examination.The debate between Bitcoin aficionados and naysayers is put under the microscope.The viability of Bitcoin as a payment system with a few transactions per second versus credit card companies that facilitate thousands per second. The the host notes the inexpensive nature of transferring wealth, sometimes as low as $0.01 per $10,000 Bitcoin transaction.In addition, $194 million in Bitcoin was transferred for merely ten cents.The same transaction using traditional wire transfers could cost "tens of thousands of dollars" and require days to clear.The argument was debunked by numerous sources as Bitcoin is easily tracked by authorities, offering far less opacity than fiat currency.According to media sources, privacy coins such as Monero and Zcash are rarely used for the dark-web transactions, deemed less desirable.Although in bear market territory, a few altcoins are showing signs of life, such as SALT and WAVES; both rebounded around 50% this week.Key takeaway, Bitcoin is the antithesis of draconian fiat money, which is not prescribed by the US Constitution.Bitcoin sidesteps rent-seeking behavior by transferring wealth directly among the masses thereby enhancing personal freedom for the masses.Bitcoin closely emulates the role of money as outlined by the US Constitution.Ethereum offers machines / AI personal freedom today and likely even pets in the future via breakthroughs in inter species communication.The discourse concludes with a memorial to the hundreds lost in wild fire tragedies, such as in the November 2018, Paradise CA inferno and a simple, inexpensive plan of last resort to avert future disasters: .pdf file.Subscription Options                                           Monthly : $29.89  &nbs

Nov. 30th, 2018(S13-E672)Featured GuestsAlasdair MacLeod & Arch CrawfordPlease Listen Here Show Highlights Peter Schiff, head of SchiffGold,Euro Pacific Capital, and Euro Pacific Gold Fund (EPGFX) joins the show from his vacation office in tropical Crypto-Rico, where air conditioning service, not heating is the chief concern today.Key takeaway - gold is building a base that will likely culminate in new record prices, from $2,000 - $5,000 and under extreme conditions, $10,000+.Part I. of the talk includes key topics: PMs, US Equities Bear Market, Crude Oil and general commentary on the US economy.The guest / host outline their thoughts on how to "Make America Great Again," via a coordinated revamp of the current tax structure and encouraging private charities.The design set forth by the original Scottish Church charities for widows / orphans over 250 years ago, remains a most productive charitable system.Part II of the discussion involves an in-depth debate on the merits / challenges facing cryptocurrency market investors, slated for next week.Our guest notes that gold reached a bear market nadir in 2015 and is building a base for a new bull run.Conversely, the US equities market could be entering bear market territory.Given that an economic downturn is overdue by several years, both the guest and host concur, 2019 will likely register two quarters of declining US GDP.2019 could register the firstofficial recession in one decade.The big wild card remains the upcoming G-20 showdown between the US POTUS and China’s Jinping.The G-20 summit takes place in Argentina, where leaders will negotiate to resolve trade tensions.The United States could tariffs on 25 percent on $200 billion of Chinese imports on Jan. 1 from 10 percent currently, unless U.S. concerns are resolved at the summit.China, a large gold buyer, has suffered economically from tariffs, in particular industrial manufacturers and suppliers.Whereas US pundits note that the balance of power in the trading arena has been so skewed against the US for so many decades that tariffs might be necessary.Market watchers hope for improved relations between the two global economic superpowers, which would likely put a floor under equities.Investors continue to pour funds into the The SPDR Gold ETF (GLD) as a hedge against what could be a new bear theme in US equities.GLD has seen a surge in assets over the last month; the largest gold ETF received $600 million, a sizable one month increase.GLD ETF recorded big interest from investors in October due to rising market volatility, with $472.3 million in inflows for the calendar month.The Fed is approaching the end of its rate tightening cycle, with the ECB announcing plans to begin quantitative tightening.Many markets priced to near perfection for at least 12 months, against the backdrop of employment and inflation at multi-decade lows.Today the Fed Chairman Powell gave a key speech on the latest FOMC meeting minutes.Current FFF contracts at the CBOE indicate Fed policymakers will hike rates once more this year, next month and at least 3 three more hikes in 2019.The PMs markets could receive trillions of dollar from pensions funds that have less than a fraction of one percent in the yellow metalNick Barisheff of Bullion Management Group is recovering from an illness; please forward get-well messages to Marty, M.Nicandro@bmg-group.com.In Part I. of this discussion with Bob Hoye of Institutional Advisors includes a startling sea change in attitude towards the PMs sector.After years of bearishness, Bob Hoye announced the potential for an epic GOLD RUSH on the horizon in the PMs sector, in particular, the mining shares.Lower expenses and deflation in typical shares enhance their appeal of PMs equities to the benefit of shareholders.10 million percent inflation is expected in Venezuela, as forecasted by the IMF in a Reuter's article on GATA.org.Today, $300,000 could soon be required to purchase

Nov. 16th, 2018(S13-E670)Featured GuestsBill Murphy & Rob Kirby Please Listen Here Show HighlightsRob Kirby of Kirby Analytics sees extreme risks ahead for the financial markets via a shattered US accounting system.The missing $21 trillion dollars (size of US National Debt) in government funds, is possibly held by the exchange stabilization fund (PPT).One likely use for the missing funds could involve the purchase of new US Bond issuance's, given the few foreign purchases of US debt.Utlimately the fiat money shell game will lead North American citizens to an unsavory financial-reset in similar fashion as Cyprus / Poland.Our guest proposes the perfect financial panacea to avoid the next MF Global scenario but on an epic scale; precious metals investments.The precious metals may not remain at vastly discounted prices but will soar to unfathomably high levels putting the price beyond the means of virtually everyone; so carpe diem, aurum, seize the gold, today.Bill Murphy of GATA.org returns to the show with fresh insights on the PMs rally.A new precedent was set within the Central Bank realm this week with the the Bank of England refusing to honor its custodial arrangement.The BOA refused to return 14 tonnes of gold held on behalf of Venezuela (MaCleod, Goldmoney, 2018).Standard anti-money laundering concerns were cited for the refusal, "We don't trust you, so we'll hold on to your gold for now, old boy."The dissent among the ranks could send reverberations throughout the system and perhaps the financial markets.Meanwhile, as the unfortunate FANG stock pullback continues, with Facebook (FB) off nearly 50% from the July 2018 peak.The longest remaining Dow Jones Industrials component, General Electric (GE) plunging from over $30 last year to $8 today.Investors adhered to the key hallmark of every successful portfolio, diversification, leading to increased inflows into gold ETFs (figures 1.1-1.3).Enhanced Modern Portfolio Theory via Long-Memory Regimes (Waltzek, 2016), (EMPT) proved scientifically the significance of price trends.The represents the most accurate estimate of future value, as the price contains 99% of pertinent information, the best guess of the top minds.Recent headlines indicate that the oldest remaining Dow company, the hallmark of US Corporate America, General Electric, GE is struggling.However, although GE could be ejected from the Dow 30, just a year ago the former Blue Chip was a high flyer.As if on cue, the negative price trend change resulted in a collapse from from $25 to $8.Yet according to competing theories of EMPT, the warning signs not only did not exist but should be ignored, de facto evidence that MPT requires revision, i.e. EMPT (figures 1.1-1.3).Subscription Options                                           Monthly : $29.89                                            USD - monthly                                           Annual : $142.85                                            USD - yearly                                           5 year : $487.00                                            USD - year

Nov. 23rd, 2018(S13-E671)Featured GuestsAlasdair MacLeod & Arch CrawfordPlease Listen Here Show HighlightsHead of Research at GoldMoney, Alasdair MacLeod makes his show debut on Thanksgiving Day, 2018.Listeners are encouraged to bookmark his weekly commentary at Goldmoney Insights.The Bank of England (BoE) refused to honor its custodial arrangement and return 14 tonnes of gold held on behalf of Venezuela (MacLeod, 2018).Standard anti-money laundering concerns were cited as the chief reason for the refusal.The fact that the lenders of last resort within the central bank cartel are experiencing dissent among the ranks could send reverberations.Actions by the BoE illustrate that the system based on transparency is flawed amid such unanticipated opacity in the financial system.If central banks cannot even maintain trust within their own ranks, how exposed is the typical investor to rehypothecation, confiscation.Alasdair MacLeod notes that sovereign gold ownership has now morphed into a geostrategic challenge within the global economic arena.Russia is rejecting the US dollar as the de facto reserve currency, opting instead to procure gold and silver bullion for a new sound-money currency.President Putin also directed the accumulation of the largest strategic silver stockpile, worldwide.China may have quietly accumulated the largest stockpile of gold in the world in anticipation of a gold backed Yuan, up to 25,000 metric tons.China's hypothesized total of 40,000 ton stockpile plus the hastily growing reserves of Russia are viewed as a hedge against sanctions.Our British guest wraps up the discussion with an eloquent review of the Brexit situation from ground zero.Arch Crawford, head of Crawford Perspectivesfor 41 consecutive years rejoins the show.Our guest advises investors to hold a core position in gold, which could develop a base near current levels.A close above $1,370 would indicate a sign of pent-up bullish demand.Arch Crawford has closed all long positions in US equities and is holding short-term index puts, in case the current consolidation breaks support.The host proposes a 20% correction is a most likely outcome if recent weekly lows are breached.If equities hold support in 2018, next year is expected to lead to new record levels and the epic selloff will be delayed until 2020.Key reasons for the equities downturn include quantitative tightening (QT) where Fed officials are reversing the decades-long constrictive rate policy.Financial history is replete with tales of failed tariffs that rarely bode well in the long-term for countries that adopt the sanctions.Such Fiscal policies attract rent-seeking behaviors that typically line the pockets of political allies, doing little to improve overall economic welfare.The host proposes that corporate officers prepared for imminent tariffs by accumulating key strategic resources.The resulting significant price increases, inadvertently ignited a US equities market advance.Now that corporate warehouses are fully stocked with requisite resources inelastic demand is yielding to more elastic conditions.Tariffs are de facto inflationary resulting in higher prices across the economic spectrum, to the detriment of working / middle class citizens.Two previous failed experiments in US trade tariff policy include, "The Tariff of Abominations of 1825," and the 1930 Smoot-Hawley Trade Tariff Act.Officials are advised to proceed cautiously with the current trade tariffs to avoid a crushing global economic contraction.Last Thursday news that United States and China increased efforts to resolve lingering trade disputes, according to a Financial Times report.The United States and China doubled their efforts to hammer out a reasonable solution to the eight month trade dispute.The potential silver lining to the entire fiasco is being spearheaded by the US President and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping.The meeting is slated for later this month at a G-20 summit

Nov. 9th, 2018(S13-E669)Featured GuestsLynette Zang, Tim Draper, Dr. Marc Faber & Louis Navellier(encore show)Please Listen HereShow HighlightsLynette Zang, Chief Market Analyst at ITM Trading makes her show debut with in depth analysis on the risk of global hyperinflation.Thousands of years of monetary history reveals, only gold money is inflation resistant, unlike fiat currency that inevitably inflates away into oblivion.In only 100 years the purchasing power of the dollar has evaporated; data from the Federal Reserve reveals only 4 pennies remain for each one dollar printed.Given the insidious nature of inflation, one would expect monetary policy to be the topic du jour.Nevertheless, a key founder of modern economics, John Maynard Keynes noted, "not one in a million will detect (inflation)."In 1971 the US President granted control of the money supply to bankers by closing the gold window, ending the exchange of Greenbacks for gold.Lynette Zang draws startling parallels between today's financial markets and the Great Depression era of 1930's, including rampant margin leverage of 10:1.An economic calamity may be inevitable, unfolding as soon as 2021.It is advisable to expand their local network to improve the odds of survival and boost household stockpiles of food / medicine / PMs / energy and self-defense.Tim Draper, Silicon Valley V.C. legend, author of How to be The Startup Hero, founder of Draper University and Bitcoin expert makes his show debut.In only 5 years, Draper University is already setting the standard in education, with several success stories including a billion dollar crypto-token company.Our guest had the foresight to purchase 30,000 Bitcoins in 2014 from the U.S. Marshals Service auction at around $500 each.In 2014, his forecast of $10,000 BTC by 2017 came to pass ahed of the prediction.Tim Draper expects the $86 trillion global currency market to be eclipsed by Bitcoin / altcoins, which implies a 240x-500x price increase from current levels.His prediction last month of $250k Bitcoin by 2022, resulted in "The Draper Effect" set the floor on the $6,600 price, sending Bitcoin soaring by 50%.He joins the chorus of leading financial gurus calling for $1 million Bitcoin, adding that BTC could climb into the millions per coin.Key qualities of BTC: A store of wealth, ease of transfer, safety relative to traditional banking, less bureaucracy, and frictionless transactions.Additional benefits: governments will compete for their citizens, digitally; easy accessibility for the unbanked masses as well as a parallel monetary system.Tim Draper notes the brain drain of talent and of wealth from regions with draconian legislation towards crypto favorable areas, such as "Crypto-Rico."Puerto Rico offers entrepreneurs a tax safe haven, funnelling wealth to the island where officials hope new capital will rebuild the devastated infrastructure.While Japan wisely adopted Bitcoin as legal tender, bringing considerable affluence, other nations have struggled to accept the decentralized blockchain.To paraphrase M. Gandhi: First they laugh at you, next they ignore you, then they attack you, and then you win.Similarly, although JP Morgan and related institutions first rejected Bitcoin, FOMO is rampant on news that Goldman Sachs announced a BTC trading desk.Economists / policymakers and investors who resist the inevitable pull of the crypto-revolution are doomed to mediocrity, while those who adapt to the new trend will improve their odds of success.Louis Navellier of Navellier & Associates notes the best corporate earnings in 6 years and tax cuts could spur forward the already lofty US equities markets in 2018.Dividend yielding stocks may be preferable in 2018, but caution is advisable before chasing yield too high, which only magnifies risk / volatility.The host / guest concur that NVIDIA (NVDA) shares remain appealing, due in part to record demand for their superior cry

Nov. 2nd, 2018(S13-E668)Featured GuestsBob Hoye & Andy Schecter Please Listen HereShow HighlightsBob Hoye of Institutional Advisorsreturns with his latest market insights. The new trade tariffs.Tariffs on Canadian lumber this January pushed the mean new home price higher by over 10% as a direct result.Although the current economic system is far from flawless, solid monetary policy has solidified the global economy in the wake of the Great Recession.Low rates stimulated corporate expansion / output while stabilizing the financial institutions.Although economic slowdowns are painful, the process tends to redistribute useful resources from less to more-productive enterprises / sectors.New technologies lead to key innovation, greater productivity and a highly efficient business environment.Now that the economic vessel is no longer taking on water, policymakers are reversing the process, lowering rates, decreasing QE operations.Three key economic threats are facing the global economy, Quantitative Tightening (QT), higher real rates, and a global trade war.Economic history shows that tariffs rarely bode well in the long-term for countries that adopt the sanctions.Fiscal policy tends to attract rent-seeking behavior, line the pockets of political allies and do little to improve overall economic welfare.The tariff dilemma creates a new inflation wild card for global monetary policy, as taxes are intrinsically inflationary, resulting in higher prices across multiple economic segments.Andy Schectman of Miles Franklin Institute returns from the first World Series game (Boston 2018 Champs 4-1) with his latest PMs investing insights.Our guest outlines must hear methods for purchasing PMs, including an opportunity to profit market anomalies.A rare, once in two decades opportunity is presenting itself in the numismatics market.Rare gold coins are selling at nearly 1:1 or the same price as plain bullion coins of similar gold weight.Miles Franklin is currently positioning client accounts to maximize the benefits of this anomaly.

One proviso - the next rally must lead to new record highs or more ominous conditions could unfold.Our guest discounts the risk of interest rate hikes - not until rates climb to 5% should analysts sound the alarm.According to one media report, the 30 year US Treasury actually outperformed US shares just slightly over the 35 year bull market.This could lead to a profound reaction as soon as 2018 due to expected FED rate hikes.Listeners / readers are encouraged to sign up for to his free Twitter account with an active subscriber base of 26,000+.President Niko Cacos, CEO, and Director - Blue Sky Uranium Corp., winner of the Explorer of the Year Award, makes his show debut.Headquartered in Argentina, Blue Sky Uranium Corp. is a leader in uranium discovery in the region.The Blue Sky mission involves rewarding loyal shareholders with exceptional returns via a portfolio of high uranium yielding, low-cost producers.Given the current portfolio that includes rights to over one million acres of property, their team is on track to outperform investor’s expectations.The Company is a member of the Grosso Group, the most prestigious in Argentina and Joseph Gross is a very good friend of the show.Listeners are encouraged to listen to Mr. Grosso’s Golden Arrow interview Golden Arrow, Executive Chairman, CEO, & President, of Golden Arrow.Blue Sky’s flagship Amarillo Grande Project was an in-house discovery with the potential to become a key domestic supplier of uranium.The Ivana deposit, at Amarillo recently completed a drilling program via 61 holes drilled with positive results.Amarillo Grande has characteristics of sandstone-type uranium-vanadium deposits.The Amarillo Grande project includes solid vanadium potential with estimates of vanadium content running as high as 200% the uranium content.Some early drill results indicate even higher vanadium content levels according to reports.This was irrelevant until the amazing Vanadium bull run of 2017/ 2018 where price has skyrocketed over 4x from around $5 to $25 as of this interview.Company literature indicates ongoing mineralogical, metallurgical, and process engineering studies at the Saskatchewan Research Council (SRC).Listeners are encouraged to direct their web browsers to goldseek.com and Bloomberg.com and enter the ticker symbol BSK.V – OTC: BKUCF.Subscription Options                                                     Monthly                                                      : $29.89 USD - monthly                                                     Annual                                      &nbs

Oct. 12th, 2018(S13-E665)Featured GuestsJoseph Grosso, Axel Merk & Brian McEwen Please Listen Here Show HighlightsJoseph Grosso - Golden Arrow, Executive Chairman, CEO, & President, of Golden Arrow returns to the show with colleague, VP Brian McEwen.Joseph Grosso has spearheaded mineral exploration ventures in Argentina for over twenty years.Headquartered in Vancouver, Canada, Golden Arrow is a silver producer, mineral explorer and prospect generator.Golden Arrow is a member of the Grosso Group, a management company specialized in resource exploration.The firm maintains a strong record of mineral discovery, and community / government relations.Golden Arrow is poised to maintain its reputation as a trusted explorer throughout Argentina.Exciting new developments include the exciting acquisition of your new Chilean property, Atlantida Copper-Gold Project in Chile’s 3rd Region.VP Brian McEwen discovered and negotiated on copper-gold deposits.Estimates indicate the potential for mineralization and define a significant copper-gold resource.Company literature reveals a deep porphyry copper-gold target with higher gold grades that together cover an area of approximately 225 hectares.The Atlantida Project is under New Golden Explorations Inc., which is 100% owned by Golden Arrow (Golden Arrow, 2018).The Chinchillas project is targeted for production in 2018.Completed joint venture with major silver producer Silver Standard (now SSR Mining).The mining-friendly location in northwest Argentina that supports an impressive infrastructure, including access to highways, and ample water resources.The Don Bosco Copper-Gold Project, holds exploration licenses encompassing five areas in Western La Rioja Province, Argentina.The project is feasible year round, supported by a paved highway that facilitates accessibility (Golden Arrow, 2016).Golden Arrow has additional properties of interest in the San Juan Province, including the Mogote Copper-Gold Project, the Caballos Copper-Gold Project, and Potrerillos Gold-Silver Project – the firm owns 100% of all three properties.Axel Merk, head of Merk Investments returns to the show after a two year hiatus with a unique and positive outlook on the gold sector.Merk Investments is monitoring the yield curve closely; while inversions typically mark recessions, occasional false signals are still possible.Using central banking policy as a guide, the new Fed Chief, Jerome Powell is expected to continue raising rates a bit too far similar to predecessors.The market has not yet fully priced the additional rate hikes and impending inflationary pressures.This conclusion leads to the key takeaway point: given Merk's economic outlook, where paper assets with cash flow exposure to much higher rates suffer relative to commodities, such as gold, silver, platinum, palladium and crude oil, the PMs should outperform US equities and make a compelling alternative to competing asset classes.Subscription Options                                                     Monthly                                                      : $29.89 USD - monthly                                                     Annual                                                      : $142.85 USD - yearly    &nbs

Oct. 5th, 2018(S13-E664)Featured GuestsMichael Pento & Bill Murphy Please Listen Here Show HighlightsMichael Pento, President and Founder of Pento Portfolio Strategies LLC returns to Goldseek.com Radio with his latest economic insights.While most analysts are oblivious to the current financial risks, Michael Pento says the next crisis is already underway.Global central bank QE operations will turn negative for the first time since the Great Recession 10 years ago in 2019 (black line in graph) (figure 1.1.).Global equities markets, copper, lumber and many key markets are currently signaling economic distress.Since the 1950's an economic recession followed 9 out of 10 times after the yield curve inverted; the curve could invert as soon as this Dec.The Fed is expected to raise rates for the 4th time this year.Pento Portfolio Strategies points to the $20 trillion national debt level and that of China.These unsustainable burdens could add to the growing risk of economic contraction.Public debt has increased from $4 trillion to $15+ trillion drastically increasing default exposure amid sharply higher rates.The Dec. Fed rate hike will push the Pento 20 multivariate regression model into a short position on US equities by the end of 2019.For the first time in a decade - commodities, PMs and cash will be the assets du jour.Key takeaway: gold and especially the XAU / HUI will skyrocket, with AU quickly ascending above $2,000.Bill Murphy of GATA.org rejoins the show with encouragement for PMs bulls.Gold miners just found a 90 kg $15 million "mother lode" gold nugget in Western Australia after only 4 days of work.Both Bill Murphy and co-guest Michael Pento agree that gold will soon ascend beyond $2,000 creating vast fortunes.Silver could be the sleeping behemoth as 7.5 billion global inhabitants scramble to shield their shriveling purchasing power.A potential global, systemic currency-fiasco could shift the 80 : 1 gold to silver ratio to the more historical norm of 10 : 1.Silver could catapult to to triple digits, post haste.Palladium is approaching $1,000 as analysts forecasts indicate the industrial metal could eclipse the current gold price, $1,300.Silver could outpace the expectations of even the most staunchly bullish investor, climbing 100 fold in the coming years to four digits.Ronan Manly of BullionStar supports Gata.org's efforts; the LBMA is regularly trading 130 times more paper contracts than bullion available in the vaults and 11 times more paper gold is trading world wide than has ever been mined.Subscription Options                                                     Monthly                                                      : $29.89 USD - monthly                                                     Annual                                                      : $142.85 USD - yearly                                                     5 year                                         &
