Everything Financial Radio

In an interview with Kerry Lutz, financial expert Dennis Tubbergen discussed the current state of the economy. Tubbergen believes that the economy is artificially inflated due to government spending and that without this spending, the US would be in a severe recession. He also suggested that the current economic situation is akin to a Ponzi scheme, with the government borrowing money to increase cash flow at the expense of future GDP. Tubbergen predicts a stagflationary environment, with a decline in the value of assets and increased inflation in consumer items. He recommends investing in precious metals and assets without counterparty risk that cannot be printed. Kerry Lutz has been a student of Austrian Economics since 1977. While attending Pace University, he stumbled upon an extensive cache of Austrian Economic Literature in a dark, musty, abandoned section of the school’s library. After graduating from The New York Law School, he became an attorney and lifelong serial entrepreneur. In 2010, Kerry gave up most of his other interests to pursue his desire of becoming a radio show host and founded the Financial Survival Network, whose mission is to help you prosper and thrive in the New Economy.

Murray Gunn, the head of global research at Elliott Wave International, joins your host, Dennis Tubbergen, today on Retirement Lifestyle Advocates radio.

He discusses how these patterns can be used to forecast price developments in various markets, including currencies, commodities, and stocks. Gunn warns that the stock market may experience a decline in 2024, based on Elliott wave analysis and the presence of a Dow Theory non-confirmation, and suggests that cash and certain corporate bonds may be good investment options during this period. Gunn also introduces the concept of socionomics, which posits that social mood drives social actions and can be observed in the stock market and other cultural trends. He speculates that China may experience negative social actions in the near future based on a long-term price pattern and the country's negative social mood.

This week’s edition of Retirement Lifestyle Advocates radio features an interview with Alasdair McLeod, the head of research at GoldMoney. Your host, Dennis Tubbergen, talks with McLeod about the potential impact of the BRICS Coalition on the US dollar as an international reserve currency. McLeod suggests that the US is already fighting back against the expansion of BRICS, citing Argentina's recent decision to back off from China and adopt the US dollar as its currency. However, the influence of Russia and China within BRICS will continue to spread, leading to a decrease in the use of the US dollar and potentially weakening the currency in the long term. McLeod also discusses the possibility of a gold-backed currency in the future and the risks associated with the large amount of US dollar holdings held internationally. He suggests that a rush to liquidate these assets could be difficult for the US to handle and could lead to a significant devaluation of the dollar. McLeod emphasizes the importance of understanding the global credit situation and the potential for a collapse of fiat currencies, which could lead to a significant rise in the value of gold. Alasdair Macleod is the head of research at Gold Money Holding, a well-respected author, and a noted expert in world economics.

Our guest this week, Karl Denninger, discusses with your host, Dennis Tubbergen, the inverted yield curve and its implications for the economy, along with other economic indicators, such as retail sales and housing sales, which suggest that the economy is already in a recession.

(Replay) Inflation went from “transient” to, “it's good for you” to, “we've got to do something before we have a revolution on our hands”. But (the Fed) they're kind of trapped now because they can't keep raising (interest rates) because we're seeing what's happening to the debt and the bond markets. They can't raise and they can't lower and they can't stay where they are. They've really painted themselves into a corner, pretty well all the central banks have. Join the conversation on today’s episode of Retirement Lifestyle Advocates radio with your host, Dennis Tubbergen, and guest, Mark Jeftovik, and hear his forecast for inflation, cryptocurrency, and the dollar. Mark E.
