Sept. 21st, 2018(S13-E662)Featured GuestsDr. Raymond Moody & John Williams Guest order - alphabetical. Please Listen Here Show HighlightsDr. Raymond Moody, renowned psychiatrist; author of best-selling Life after Life (1974) and founder of The University of Heaven makes his show debut.The host is reunited with the former forensic therapist 30 years after sitting in Dr. Moody's undergraduate class.Our embarked upon a remarkable-lifelong scientific journey to uncover the truth about life beyond death.Our guest outlines an intriguing model of the most frequent experiences outlined by those whose minds / bodies reached clinical death.Dr. Moody talks with Dr. Eben Alexander, entered a coma as an atheist but reemerged with a profound spiritual-experience.He is offering a seminar on his latest findings in human logic in Montreal on October 20th, 2018.Some colleagues refer to his findings as the biggest breakthrough in the field since days of Dr. Kurt Godel's Incompleteness Theorem.The Central Intelligence Agency was so intrigued by the concept officials invited Dr. Moody to present his hypotheses.His work could facilitate scientists in bridging the gap between the macro / micro world's, unifying Einstein's field equations with subatomic models.Another interesting application of Dr. Moody's seminal research might involve improving quantum computing, where binary code is inadequate for programming the language of more probabilistically based, quantum outcomes.John Williams of Shadowstats.com returns to the show with dire comments on the domestic economy.US policymakers have attempted to revive the domestic economy via $14 trillion QE policies requiring $100 billion per month in QE operations.9 interest rate increases will occur in the current rate hike cycle as of December, 2018 (Hunter & Pento, 2018).The official economic numbers may be skewed - when properly adjusted for Real inflation (10% vs. 3% officially) retail sales are flat to negative.All the world's key central banks have plans to lower / halt QE operations by the end of 2018, reversing from net positive QE to net negative QE.The plan will contract the Fed's balance sheet while significantly lowering financial liquidity to the detriment of US shares / Treasuries.John Williams doubts policymakers will remain hawkish for long as the global QE liquidity must continue to maintain US dollar reserve currency hegemony.Given his assumption that the purchasing power of the reserve currency is "doomed," our guest has identified a singular means to escape what he views as inevitable North American, hyperinflation, via gold and silver coins / bars.Please Listen HereDial-Up Real AudioMP3FAST DownloadHighest Quality DownloadRight click above & "Save Target As..." to download.

Sept. 14th, 2018(S13-E661)Featured GuestsPeter Schiff & Arch CrawfordPlease Listen Here Show HighlightsPeter Schiff, head of SchiffGold, Euro Pacific Capital, and Euro Pacific Gold Fund (EPGFX) returns with comments on the financial sector. Our guest notes that gold reached a bear market nadir in 2015 and is building a base for a new bull run. Once the move begins in earnest, the gold / silver ratio will collapse as silver outperforms gold during much of the advance. Washington expressed disappointment with the decision of Fed Chair Jerome Powell to continue with the national rate-hike policy into 2019. Although Powell has publicity noted the Fed would "Do whatever it takes to tame inflation" Peter Schiff and the host doubt containment plans will work. Policymakers may be taking their cues from misleading economic models.Curtailing inflation could prove more challenging than during the last severe deflationary crisis in the early 1980's when the US was a global powerhouse. In 2019, investment flows could favor gold as rate hike expectations diminish and the Greenback flounders relative to competing currencies.The flattening yield curve suggests rates could invert next year implying a recessionary environment, lowering demand for US equities in favor of the PMs. FREE OFFER! - Crawford Perspectives is offering the Sept. Report for those who respond today (arch.ah.crawford@gmail.com)Arch Crawford, head of Crawford Perspectives for 41 consecutive years, rejoins the show, commenting on gold, financial markets and Hurricane Florence. Florence is a category 4 storm headed directly for the Tar Heel State. Gold remains the de facto dollar alternative given that over 96% of the Greenback's value has eroded since 1913. Arch Crawford cautions US equities investors that Sept. / Oct. are typically very challenging months for the shares indexes. The discussion shifts over to the cryptos, where Ethereum broke below $200, touching $170. Although our guest notes positive price behavior, if the panic spreads to Bitcoin it could lead to a retest of $5700. The southeast is bracing for winds of up to 130 mph and strong tidal surges by Thursday evening. Similar to last year's Hurricane Harvey that decimated Puerto Rico and surrounding islands all the way up to NC.Officials have already declared a state of emergency and evacuations are underway. The current inland trajectory reveal high odds that the storm will pass due north of Atlanta, covering upper South Carolina.The range includes the Greater Greenville region, north to Asheville and Charlotte. Western North Carolina will be impacted, such as Cashiers, Glenville, Cullowhee, Sapphire, Sylva, Hayesville, etc. It is advisable to check the current storm trajectory daily / hourly as weather patterns are as unpredictable - reliability of forecasts diminish over time. Tens of thousands of FEMA trailers distributed in the wake of 2005 Hurricane Katrina still have toxic levels of formaldehyde, literally embalming occupants.The VIN numbers are tagged on the trailer hitch side and searchable in the online database.All trailer denizens are advised to check the FEMA trailer search online. Any formaldehyde readings above 6-8 ppm are deemed carcinogenic - FEMA trailers regularly register 14 times that figure.Guest BiosArch Crawford Stockmarket CyclesArch Crawford cut his technical analysis teeth as first assistant to top Wall Street technician Robert Farrell at Merrill Lynch in the early 1960s. In 1977, following Arch’s extensive research into astrophysical phenomenon, astrology and its correlation to market performance, he edited and published the premiere issue of Crawford Perspectives market timing newsletter. Today, nearly 40 years later, Crawford Perspectives continues to bring readers one of the most highly regarded and consistently accurate market timing newsletters available.

Sept. 7th, 2018(S13-E660)Featured GuestsProfessor Laurence Kotlikoff & Bill Murphy Please Listen Here Show HighlightsProfessor Laurence Kotlikoff, from Kotlikoff.net and author of the FREE book: You're Hired! says gold and silver investors could emerge victorious.The shackles of over $200 trillion in total US debt / financial obligations and a potential trade war with key trading partners looms above the markets. Investors should procure portfolio insurance such as gold while curtailing US equities / Treasuries exposure. Our guest questions the wisdom of threats from Washington to impose an additional $200 billion in tariffs on China.The trade skirmish has already impacted lumber imports from Canada that increased the average new home prices by over $9,000. The professor notes the US government is bankrupt, which makes long-term Treasuries risky relative to shorter term US notes as well as US equities. The American per capital savings rate has plunged in recent decades from 15% (similar to Japan / China currently) to 3%, suggesting very little flexibility of the typical domestic home to withstand unforeseen economic hardships. The Listener's Q&A segment includes phone calls from Marcus, Trenton and John on the timely topics of gold, the Kinesis project and stocks / bonds.Marcus starts off today’s discussion with comments on the Kinesis project headed by Andrew Maguire and CEO Coughlin.The Kinesis gold backed cryptocurrency project from Down Under appears legit according to Goldseek's top brass. We continue to expect big things from Kinesis: paper in .PDF form. One key caveat, initial public offerings are very tricky to navigate and involve higher than typical risks. For instance, the Komodo ICO, was a stealth currency that had an excellent underwriter. It turned out to be one of the best performers in history, but quickly crashed from the 50 fold opening day price to the original tokens at pre-ICO price. In most cases and for most investors it is safest to wait until an ICO goes public and organic price discovery reveals the true value. The SALT lending platform ICO was legit and vetted every single US investor, spent thousands of hours making sure that everything was above board. The price mostly fell from the ICO price, bounced once back to the opening price and to this point is in recovery. The Smith - Crown website includes reviews of key ICOs. Sometimes discounted, pre-ICO offerings via earliest bird prices are worthy candidates. For those with patience who don’t want to spend a single dollar and have a chance at FREE ICOs, simply request a link via email to bookmark a page. John from Sunny San Diego asks questions about the COMEX gold / paper contract ratio.The GATA.org folks notes little gold to cover the contracts, approximately 1 / 100 ounces / contract; a force majeure could unfold.The flattening yield curve reveals expectations that the short yield could eclipse the longer yield by summer of 2019.As the Fed wraps up it’s rate hike cycle and central banks in EU / China / Japan turn hawkish, the greenback will be under pressure.As market forces favor the Yen, Yuan and Euro in place of the dollar in anticipation of higher yields, the US stock market advance could pause.US equities investors may anticipate the rise of alternative currencies and the positive impact on competing indexes such as the Nikkei and the DAX.Trenton claims to be an an investor in the sound deck.io blockchain that could potentially ignite a creativity revolution incentivising artistic output.Bill Murphy of GATA.org expects the global monetary crises to converge leading to explosive gains in the PMs sector. According to GATA.org, the gold cartel continues to raid the PMs sector as sending the gold / silver ratio to 85, making silver an irresistible value. The host expects the Fed to complete the FFF rate hike cycle by mid-2019, with no more than 2 rate increases next year.As a result, inflationary forces could exert downward pressure on the

Aug. 31st, 2018(S13-E659)Featured GuestsNick Barisheff &  Peter GrandichPlease Listen Here Show HighlightsNick Barisheff of Bullion Management Group (BMG) and author of $10,000 Gold: Why Gold's Inevitable Rise Is the Investor's Safe Haven (2013), returns. Venezuela, Argentina, Brazil, Iran, South Africa and Turkey could become the norm throughout the global financial world.Eventually the financial plague will infect the entire $300 trillion in global stocks / bonds markets and impact even North America. Margin debt is 50% higher than just before the 2008 Great Recession that could result in sudden / violent and catastrophic market losses / financial chaos. With only $1.8 trillion of investment grade gold available, a global currency crisis is inevitable. If only 5% of the $300 trillion in paper assets is directed to gold, $15 trillion could flood the tiny $1.8 trillion PMs sector resulting in $10,000+ gold. Several BRICS nations are inoculating their currencies from the systemic financial infection. China and Russia continue to stockpile PMs including silver in Moscow, in preparation for a global currency pandemic. Our guest cites research suggesting peak gold is occurring just when supply is most needed.Even an enormous new find would require decades to positively impact supply levels. Once panic grips the financial markets the 5% gold allocation could exceed 10-20% or higher sending the yellow metal price north of $30,000 per ounce. One candidate for an alternative reserve currency is the Yuan that is convertible to gold, better facilitating crude oil / commerce transactions. BMG has identified a triple bubble in stocks / bonds / residential housing, where current share valuations mirror those of the 1929 peak.The risk of missing further gains in US equities pales in comparison with the potential risk of loss. Nick Barisheff questions how markets will respond amid bear market conditions, given the less than robust activity during the current bull market. The World Gold Council announced that gold production has peaked.Mines can no longer produce enough output to increase the supply, but only add to dwindling stockpiles. Potential gains in the comparably small $1 trillion PMs market could startle even the most ardent gold aficionado as investors, institutions, pension funds, hedge funds and even governments seek safe-haven assets. Peter Grandich of Peter Grandich and Company and Pete Speaks says he's pushed all his investment portfolio chips into the PMs.Our guest views panic related capitulation-selling as an opportunity to procure the metals at fire sale prices. Caution is advisable when overweighting any single investment class as the asset diversification remains the perennial "free lunch" investment strategy. The duo review harsh comments from the current Administration directed at the new Federal Reserve Chairman, Jerome Powell. Officials warn the multi-year rate hike theme could undermine current efforts to boost US exports.A stronger dollar reduces the relative price advantage of US goods shipped off shore. The head of the Central Bank of Russia, Dimity Tullin noted gold is the only guarantee against "legal and political risks." The CBR added the most gold bullion to the national stockpile in a year, front-running potential tariffs / taxes on the precious metal.Top analyst Jim Rickards applauded Vladimir Putin's decision to add discounted gold to the national coffers. Peter Grandich agrees that gold remains a viable investment, "Buy a little gold as insurance and hope it doesn't go up in price," to protect your nest egg from inevitable market volatility.Please Listen Here Dial-Up Real AudioMP3Mp3 FAST DownloadMp3 High Quality DownloadRight click above & "Save Target As..." to download.

Aug. 24th, 2018(S13-E658)Featured GuestsChris Blasi & Bob HoyePlease Listen Here Show HighlightsChris Blasi, President of Neptune Global LLC outlines his gold and Bitcoin market outlook for 2018. Precious metals investors could be rewarded this Autumn.By this September an uncertain domestic political landscape could put the US dollar under pressure to the benefit of safe haven assets. The bullish narrative for platinum and palladium is just as compelling, given supply constraints, leading to delayed delivery of physical metal in many cases. Neptune Global suggests that investors include the full spectrum of precious metals, including platinum, palladium, silver and gold. Regarding the cryptocurrency / blockchain phenomenon, our guest / host concur that the cryptocurrency markets must not be confused with the blockchain.Just as Pets.com collapsed while the internet thrived, so too will the blockchain grow into a viable / ubiquitous backbone, completing an Internet 2.0. The excess of the 20x Bitcoin rally of 2017 could continue to unwind in similar fashion as the year 2000 dot.com peak in US equities. Given that the crypto-sector is still in the early adopter, nascent stage, the lack of track-record and volatility decreases the accuracy of forecasting methods. Crypto adherents should take heart that the encryption theme will continue to usher in a decentralized, transparent revolution, central to success in the modern business environment of the next decade.Bob Hoye of Institutional Advisors makes the case for gold rally following the sharp dollar selloff in the wake of the anti-rate-hike comments. Safe haven assets posted gains following comments from Washington on the negative impact on US exports due in part to the Fed rate hike cycle.The host notes that the strong dollar improves the relative appeal of dividend paying US equities, via quarterly payouts in the reserve currency. Financial history is replete with instances climbing interest rates during an economic boom period. Fed policymakers will likely follow rates higher, increasing the overnight lending rate until the trend halts, followed by a rate cutting cycle.US equities remain the decade long, market du jour, despite extremely overextended valuations.The current S&P P/E = 23.80 is well beyond the traditional P/E = 15. Until US shares indexes top out (75% of US shares closing day price behavior mirrors the S&P 500 index) the bear trap will continue. Key market insiders like Tom Lee and Mike Novagratz agree while Bitcoin and related tokens could fall markedly in price from current levels.The potential value appreciation could eclipse even the most bullish of forecasts. Lee goes-all-in, over the top pushing all the chips into the pot with his BTC prediction of $10 million due to purchases by Millennials.Voracious institutional buying of cryptos over the next decade is anticipated as Wall Street seeks low beta / high alpha in the grassroots, mainstreet revolution.The host advocates using the current weakness in cryptos as an opportunity to add a modicum of crypto assets, 1%-5% to a core gold position in every investment portfolio.Please Listen Here Dial-Up Real AudioMP3Mp3 FAST DownloadMp3 High Quality DownloadRight click above & "Save Target As..." to download.

Aug. 17th, 2018(S13-E657)Featured GuestsPeter Hug & John Williams Please Listen Here Show HighlightsPeter Hug, Director of the Kitco Precious Metals Division, makes his show debut. Negativity in the retail market for gold / silver has reached such epic levels that from a contrarian vantage point, a price floor could soon materialize. Our guest outlines a highly effective / unique investment portfolio balancing technique that has enabled his clients to oftentimes outperform the indexes. Many investors have reaped handsome rewards form the US equities rally, making stocks overweighted asset class.Peter Hug suggests booking enough stock profits to maintain at least a 10% balance in the PMs, which represent a relative bargain. Once gold and silver eclipse the former peak, at that point the 10% portfolio component will be closer to 20% and a new rebalancing is advisable. The guest / host concur that runaway inflation is inevitable, making the PMs essential components of every financial security net. However, the timing of hyperinflationary episodes is notoriously uncertain, only exacerbated by unique / convoluted quantitative easing operations.The purchasing power of the typical household continues to slide as the inevitable advance of inflation forces erode the wealth of middle / working class. The tipping point in the chaotic economic-system may occur once Fed policymakers slow / halt rate increases as early as 2019.The net affect is setting the launch pad for PMs price advances. Elsewhere, alternative precious metals are reviewed, including Rhodium, a scarce metal used primarily in auto production.Rhodium could experience a price squeeze from $4,000 to perhaps $5,000, similar to the 5x advance in Ruthenium. Our guest views the risk of $500 M in US tariffs (taxes) on imports from China as a potential threat to the robust domestic economic growth.John Williams of Shadowstats.com, a leading online alternative economic-resource sees the potential for an explosive move in the PMs sector / commodities. According to Shadowstats, the official inflation numbers are significantly understated - consumers are being robbed as the pace of price increases exceeds wages. Shadowstats finds that the GDP is slowing at a rapid clip, which will be reflected in next week's official tally.The troubling sign for the domestic economy could result in the first recession amid one of the longest economic expansions in US history. Inflation is typically good news for the commodities sector, including crude oil, gold, silver and PMs shares, all of which are poised from a technical vantage point for a potential rally.The event that leads to the economic tipping point could be an expectedly sharp decline, even a crash in the US Greenback. John Williams expects that policymakers will return to quantitative easing (QE) in an attempt to stabilize the US dollar; the move could backfire resulting in a panic to procure inflation safe haven investments, such as energy shares and PMs.Please Listen Here Dial-Up Real AudioMP3Mp3 FAST DownloadMp3 High Quality DownloadRight click above & "Save Target As..." to download.

Aug. 10th, 2018(S13-E656)Featured GuestsGerald Celente &Wolf RichterGuest order - alphabeticalPlease Listen Here Show HighlightsWolf Richter, founder of WolfStreet.com holds silver in his investment portfolio and advises investors to buy and hold PMs in anticipation of the next uptrend. The duo make cautionary comments on the harrowing California wildfires; the 3 county raging inferno is now the largest on record, a "National Disaster." While some pundits have blamed lack of water as a key catalyst, local authorities note ample water supplies.Arid conditions, foliage overgrowth and urban sprawl in remote, fire-prone forest regions are the most likely culprit. Strong GDP numbers were released last week; the U.S. economy grew at 4.1%, however our guest notes that the figure is volatile.Some analysts hold to the thesis that 2019 could witness a domestic recession as the flattening yield curve suggests inversion as soon as 2019.Our guest sees sunnier economic prospects citing the robust domestic manufacturing / transportation / service / housing sectors.Firms are accumulating raw goods and inputs ahead of proposed trade tariffs, making the trucking / transportation sectors remain extremely strong.Wolf Richter thinks the strength could buoy national output, lowering the odds for an economic downturn for the time being. Wolf Street includes a city-by-city review of the Case Shiller Housing Index, illustrating that the most frothy areas have significantly eclipsed 2006. Housing Bubble 2.0 could be unfolding due in part to HUD and related agencies underwriting the bulk of mortgages (50%), with required downpayments as low as 3.5% to secure a loan, far under the traditional 20%.Bill Murphy of GATA.org notes precious metals investors will ultimately be rewarded for their patience amid the typically slow "Summer Doldrums." Gold prices tends to perk up as the holidays approach, including Christmas, Hanukkah, Diwali in India and China's New Year festivities. Fed officials' actions speak volumes - following 7 recent rate hikes since 2015 and two more to go in 2018. By pressing the economic brakes, the plan is to stem runaway inflation. The EU economic ministers and many major competitors seek to halt QE operations and begin raising rates, putting the US dollar under pressure. Signs of inflation are already appearing in the commodities sector vis-à-vis WTIC oil and the CRB indexes, both near multi-year record prices. In Caracas Venezuela, a dozen eggs costs nearly $3,000,000 Bolivars amid 1 million percent inflation.Just a year ago, the same dozen eggs required only $3 Bolivars, a petrie dish example of hyperinflation south of the border, but still less than Zimbabwe. In response to threats from Washington regarding tariffs on all $500 billion in China's US imports, officials could use the so called "Nuclear Option." While US policymakers play tough using dollar hegemony to level the field in global trade, tariffs sharply increase prices for the working / middle classes. Key takeaway point - if homeowners knew when the lightning bolt / flood / earthquake or fire would hit, there'd be no need for insurance premiums; in similar fashion, investors are advised to procure portfolio insurance, i.e., gold / silver while still at discounted prices.

Aug. 3rd, 2018(S13-E655)Featured GuestsPeter Eliades &Arch CrawfordPlease Listen Here Show HighlightsArch Crawford, head of Crawford Perspectives for 41 consecutive years, outlines his technical perspective on the global financial markets. Regarding the gold market, our guest views $1,200 gold as solid support, which must hold if the bull trend is return with gusto. Arch Crawford maintains that every investment portfolio should include a gold / silver safety net to guard against lost purchasing power and financial crises. While the long-term uptrend remains intact in the US equities market, Arch is using near-term weakness as an opportunity to double up on his short position. This "might be the top" of the market, according constellation analysis, a "disaster" of epic proportions could befall the financial markets.Money flows continue to pour into US equities due in large part to recent Fed rate hikes, which make dollar denominated assets and higher rates competitive. Early in 2017, Goldseek.com Radio and The Alpha Stocks Newsletter alerted patrons to the Bitcoin rally at around $900, holding firm until around $10,000.Arch Crawford's newsletter noted the precise $20,000 Bitcoin peak in December.He's watching for buying opportunities during pullbacks. Given that many analysts view Bitcoin as moving 5x's the typical market.Once the bottom is firmly in place, the typically positive fall season could encourage bulls to push the BTC price above $10,000. The Redding California blaze, tragically accounted for hundreds of lost homes, many lost lives and 40,000 evacuations. The host contacted California authorities, suggesting that mandatory regulations include metal / concrete roof tiles to curb fire tragedies. More than half of the hundreds of homes lost could be averted as the fire typically spreads from roof to roof. By simply changing from highly flammable tar roofing to the suggested materials, insurance companies could offer rebates for safer tiling.State / federal policies could be enacted to insure that every home receives the needed upgrade regardless of income level. Much of future infernos could be avoided by slowing the advance of the blaze and gaining precious minutes for firefighters and aerial support ample time. The host proposes another unique firefighting concept - local / state authorities could purchase heavy duty, yet lightweight, fire resistant mylar sheeting.Sheet rolls could be distributed to every house in each neighborhood. Authorities could issue a siren alert advisory that would instruct / train neighbors to collaborate by unrolling the sheets over each house, thereby averting much of the destruction, particularly in areas most remote from firestations, low water flow areas and high risk hotspots. Peter Eliades of Stockmarket Cycles, returns with technical insights on the financial markets. His cycles work agrees with that of Arch Crawford, a significant stock market peak may be in place. Rydex Bearish Funds indicate investors are the least bearish in twenty years, suggesting the herd is extremely ebullient, flashing an overbought signal. Our guest notes it may be prudent for more active investors to consider placing protective sell stops below profitable equities positions. The price declines could exceed the expectations of all but the most ardent bear. The FOMC met today to determine the benchmark overnight lending rate – current FFF indicate 90% probability of a hike at the meeting slated for Sept. The Dec. meeting shows strong prob. 63% of a second quarter point rate hike. Domestic exports rose 9.3 percent, driven in part by increased soybean shipments due to the new trade policies. One media source noted a soybean farmer in Pleasantville, Iowa where the soybean exports increased more than 50 percent in May from a year earlier as trade tensions led foreign buyers to stock up on American products.Please Listen Here Dial-Up Real AudioMP3Mp3 FAST DownloadMp3 High Quality DownloadRight click above &amp

July 20th, 2018(S13-E653)Featured GuestsGerald Celente &Bill Murphy Please Listen Here Show HighlightsHead of the Trends Research Institute, Gerald Celente expresses concerns over the potential for a showdown of epic proportions in the Middle East. Extreme tensions in the region could ignite the crude oil market, sending price per barrel soaring while sparking a stampede into the precious metals sector. The theme could benefit gold shares as well, according to the work of Seabridge Gold CEO, Rudi Fronk, who notes peak gold is in place.Barrick Gold CEO noted that the ailing quality of gold quality ore and lessened production levels combined with few major new gold discoveries and lengthy time to production, bodes well for the gold price. The expert close-combat practitioner examines the nascent global trade war, sparked by the 2018 US trade tariffs. While policymakers applaud record unemployment rate, when adjusted for inflation the real employment wage lags price increases.Low wages hampers the disposable income of the masses and widening the gap between the wealthy and the hoi polloi beyond any Industrial nation, worldwide. US share prices may be overextended, as the initial tax cuts behind much of the recent rally unwind and only a handful of key stocks in the tech sector.The FANG stocks continue to lead the indexes higher. The discussion concludes with strategies for personal protection and close combat - Gerald Celente suggests a free online resource for individuals interested in self-protection, Attackproof.com.Bill Murphy of GATA.org notes precious metals investors will ultimately be rewarded for their patience. An endgame scenario is unfolding in the financial markets that could result in an explosive move higher for safe haven assets. As long as US equities remain the risk-off trade, du jour, the PMs may remain in a cyclical trading range. The nascent trade skirmish has already impacted the housing sector.Import taxes on Canadian lumber have increased the cost of new home construction domestically by $9,000 per unit.The additional expense is passed along to the home purchaser.Already desperate domestic farmers are finding it even more challenging to make financial ends meet, amid soybean tariffs on Asian imports.The key impact of tariffs could be stagflation, as higher prices stifle global economic output while encouraging price hikes. A final warning from a US ally echoes the sentiments of history - when trade halts between national borders, more often than not, military boots cross.I.e. a trade war could ignite a global military skirmish. While the looming threat continues to boost US defensive and security share prices, ultimately PMs will benefit from the dual risk of insidious inflation / economic stagnation and global conflict.Please Listen Here Dial-Up Real AudioMP3Mp3 FAST DownloadMp3 High Quality DownloadRight click above & "Save Target As..." to download.

July 13th, 2018(S13-E652)Featured GuestsDr. Stephen Leeb &Arch Crawford Please Listen Here Show HighlightsArch Crawford, head of Crawford Perspectives for 41 consecutive years, outlines his technical perspective on the global financial markets. US shares could continue to decline along with global equities where shares in the Shanghai exchange dropped 21% from the peak. Market volatility may explode next month - June 6th - 14th could be a difficult time in markets. The current period is the longest consolidation without a new high in years, suggesting slowing momentum in US share prices. Arch Crawford is heavily short the US equities markets and expects the bearish side to remain the most profitable along with highly rated US bonds. The gold market continues to test key support - the price could soon stage a rebound rally. Best selling author, Dr. Stephen Leeb returns with a solid outlook on the gold sector. The precious metals could merge with the blockchain to facilitate sound money transactions at an accelerated pace and with far greater transparency. With light sweet crude oil breaking multi-year records, the threat of inflation could further encourage the gold bulls. Dr. Leeb suggests investors view gold in terms of China's Yuan ($GOLD:CYB) to better gauge the true technical strength of the yellow metal. Our guest notes that repairing decades of unfair global trade is sound, but the lack of subtlety, diplomacy, cooperation and gung-ho actions could backfire. If NASA engineers found landing a human on the moon challenging, economists may be facing a far more daunting task while resolving the the trade war. The duo explore the importance to embrace, nourish, foster and invest in innovative technologies via private / public sector think tank concepts, similar to RAND, Bell Labs, Fairchild Semiconductor and other skunkworks projects that paved the road to today's technological marvels.

July 6th, 2018(S13-E651)Featured GuestsPeter Schiff & Bob HoyePlease Listen Here Show HighlightsPeter Schiff, head of SchiffGold, Euro Pacific Capital, and Euro Pacific Gold Fund (EPGFX) returns with his latest market insights. Inflation is a chief concern at EuroPac, just as the economy is headed back to a 2008 style Great Recession, which could result in StagflationStagflation has positive implications for the PMs sector, as illustrated by the 1970's gold bull market, case study. As 2 year / 10 year Treasury note yields invert, perhaps as soon as early 2019, 90% of the time this event coincides with a recession / stock market correction. Fed policymakers will reverse hawkish rate hikes and resume dovish rate cuts to restore normalcy to the markets. The Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1930 resulted in a reduction of 66% of global trade.According to some economists, this exacerbated the Great Depression. The duo examine if the current trade war could be combine with higher rates to foment a new Great Recession. Our guest outlines a possible case for hyperinflation, similar to Venezuela, where the Bolivar went from near parity with the US dollar, to virtually zero, requiring tens of millions of Bolivar to purchase a single ounce of gold.Bob Hoye of Institutional Advisors rejoins the show with upbeat commentary on the PM's sector. The shifting yield curve (spread between 2 and 10 year Treasury Notes), suggests that a liquidity crisis could unfold similar to the Great Recession. 90% of recessions (Michael Pento, 2018) occurred after the yield curve inverted. If the current price hike trend continues with two more anticipated by the FOMC this year, the inversion could portend trouble for the financial markets. Our guest notes that the US has two previous failed experiments in trade tariffs, first "The Tariff of Abominations of 1825," and the 1930 Smoot-Hawley Act. Both Tariff Acts were accused of exacerbating the unemployment, slowing economic growth and curtailing global trade. Officials are advised to proceed cautiously with the current trade tariffs to avoid crushing global economic contraction, collapsing global trade and widespread unemployment.

June 29, 2018(S13-E653)Featured GuestsRalph Acampora & David MorganPlease Listen Here Show HighlightsTitan of Wall Street, Ralph Acampora of Altaira Wealth Management, "Professor of TA," and co-creator of the (CTA) designation, returns."Be careful, be selective ... keep close stops on most US shares." The financial sector tends to lead the market, which is a bad omen for bulls as many financial stocks continue to underperform. The Dow Utilities Index, a perennial favorite leading-indicator remains close to the April highs.If price closes above 711, the current stock market weakness may represent a passing anomaly. The discussion includes favorite technical analysis tools, such as the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Moving Average Convergence, Divergence (MACD).The Dow Industrials remains our guest's favorite market proxy; the arithmetic mean of the 30 blue chip stocks currently indicates an upside limit of 28,000. The lower limit of 23,000 and the highest probability of 25,000-26,500. Using financial history as a playbook the current 9-year secular bull-market could extend beyond the imagination and margin of the most ardent bears. Ralph Acampora sees the potential for another 4-5 solid years ahead for shares prices, with the key proviso, the market is overdue for a 10%-15% correction. The duo coin a Financial Term, the Acampora Rate Index (ARI); not until the Fed's overnight lending rate ascends over 5%.OPEC announced lower than expected daily oil output of 600,000 barrels per day, sending the price soaring this week.Our guest insists that the inflation impact of oil will not impact US share prices until WTIC climbs above $90+ per barrel.Head of The Morgan Report, David Morgan rejoins the show with comments on the PMs sector noting that gold remains a "free lunch" diversification asset."The most negatively correlated asset to the US stock market is gold." The new trade war resembles the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1930, which ultimately lead to losses in US jobs and exports abroad. 88 years later, the US economy has hemorrhaged 500,000 top paying manufacturing jobs per year for over one decade, over 5 million fewer jobs.Is it wise to wage a trade war under such conditions and might it backfire in the Once the stamped to gold begins in earnest, all that will be required is the effort of 1-3% of the population to catapult the yellow metal skyward.Our guests applies Elliott Wave analysis to the gold market, noting that the early I and II waves have passed.The most forceful / profitable wave III is now gaining momentum to send the market to new record figures. Once investors push gold to $2,500, our guest suggests a blow-off phase could commence sending the precious metals higher by several fold.The narrative includes a trading strategy that tops 99% of professional money managers.Building a solid portfolio with balanced betas combined with portfolio alpha-boosting services like the Alpha Stocks Newsletter can enhance profits.Tossing darts when attempting to boost portfolio alpha inevitably backfires; instead a scientific / passive approach wins out over more risky trading strategies.

June 22, 2018(S13-E652)Featured GuestsRobert Kiyosaki & Peter GrandichPlease Listen Here Show HighlightsRobert Kiyoaski, America's 'Rich Dad' returns to the show, author of Second Chance: for Your Money, Your Life and Our World (2015). The Rich Dad book series author expects the US shares rally to pause; he's accumulating a cash position to invest in safe haven assets. Rich Dad expects for most investors to relinquish gains via illiquid assets such as sluggish mutual funds. The investor herd has little knowledge of key alternatives to equities, which will further exacerbate the dilemma. Robert Kiyosaki started purchasing gold at $70 an ounce en route perhaps to $10,000 and continues to HODL gold / silver at these levels.Gold remains the ideal hedge against inflationary economic policies and unscrupulous activities. In 2000, the US dollar was the de facto currency to own - today investors have many alternatives, such as the Euro, Bitcoin, PMs, etc. Gold is the best financial portfolio insurance policy, the only money official sanctioned from above, "Gold is God's money." For investors seeking income, dividend yielding US equities are advisable, notes our guest. His "Five G's:" gold, gasoline, grub (food), ground (real estate), and guns will help every household withstand the imminent financial sea change.Peter Grandich of Peter Grandich and Company and Pete Speaks returns with commentary on the US stock market and the PMs sector. Our guest sees a new "Cold Trade-War" that includes threats against China of $200 billion in new tariffs, our largest trading partner.Peter Grandich entered the largest dollar short position against US equities in his 35+ year career and turned strongly bullish on the PMs sector. US trading partners have recycled trillions of US dollars vis-à-vis the massive trade deficit, by way of buying US Treasuries, resulting in the longest bond bull. The four decade theme could be reversing on reports that the BRICS nations are dumping US debt, including Russia, which just sold half of its US Treasuries.Peter Grandich split half of his portfolio into physical gold / silver and half into the mining shares with a nearly 10% downside vs. 100% upside potential. The discussion includes the seminal work of Egon von Greyerz on the Venezuelan Bolivar calamity, where a currency crisis resulted in hyperinflation; one ounce of gold now costs 75 million Bolivars in just a few months time.

June 15th, 2018(S13-E651)Featured GuestsProfessor Laurence Kotlikoff& Bill MurphyPlease Listen Here Show HighlightsProfessor Laurence Kotlikoff, author of the FREE book: You're Hired! says gold and silver investors could emerge victorious. What could drive PMs prices higher? Our trading "partners" are already starting to make it clear that they don't need us. Tensions between the US and key nations continues to ratchet up on the heels of Group of Seven nations talks in Canada this past weekend. The trade feud between Washington and Canada, Mexico, Europe, and China is intensifying. French President Emmanuel Macron proposed the US is wrecking global diplomatic relations, calling for the US to be removed from the G-7 group. According to Labor Department report, US jobless claims fell slightly this month, with the number of layoffs in the U.S. close to a 50-year low. Initial weekly jobless claims dropped 1,000 to 222,000 for the week ended June 2. The number of Americans filing for unemployment benefits unexpectedly declined indicating tighter labor conditions. The unemployment rate remains at a 18-year low of 3.8 percent. The discussion swerves to the new technological revolution in AI / robots.The sea change could displace more jobs than can be replaced over the coming years, leading to a global unemployment epidemic without viable solutions. For instance, new versions of IBM's Deep Blue AI, are displacing formerly insulated, high skill jobs deemed impervious to automation, just a few years prior (figure 1.1.). Bill Murphy of GATA.org notes the risk / reward scenario for precious metals investors may have never been this favorable. The massive JP Morgan silver short position and it's potential to cause an epic short-squeeze, sending the price of silver skyward. The dialogue includes two favorite Alpha Stock Newsletter gold stock candidates, Agnico Eagle (AEM) and Pan American Silver (PAAS).Today, the FOMC raised the overnight lending rate by a quarter point to 2% for the fist time in a decade.Policymakers noted expectations for the already tame unemployment rate of 3.8%, the lowest in 17 years, to drop further to 3.6%.The yield curve is vulnerable to inversion after the Dec. FOMC quarter point rate hike, leading to an economic slowdown as soon as the summer of 2019. The trade war between Washington and our neighbors Canada / Mexico as well as major trade partners, Europe / China remains a wildcard that has the smart money accumulating safe haven investments ahead of potential economic sanctions related blowback.Please Listen Here Dial-Up Real AudioMP3Mp3 FAST DownloadMp3 High Quality DownloadRight click above & "Save Target As..." to download.
