Blow-out jobs report means interest rates have to rise. 10-year Treasury broke 4% this morning.    In the past two bubbles interest rates rose along with stocks until the markets broke. We're repeating that pattern.    The Big Toy indicator is flashing: RV and Rolex sales down.  Commodities getting whacked. Are we in a bear market?  France is burning. A sign of the future?  Quality of life in our major cities is rapidly declining The Supreme Court is issuing some big rulings.

The U.S. economy showed much stronger-than-expected growth in the first quarter than previously thought. GDP increased at a 2% annualized pace for the January-through-March period, up from the previous estimate of 1.3%.

We all know inflation has finally hit 4% according to the CPI but consumer spending, as gauged by personal consumption expenditures, rose 4.2%, the highest quarterly pace since the second quarter of 2021 and Core PCE prices rose 4.9% which wi...

The Fed "paused" but didn't stop? What does that mean? Are we there yet? Stocks tanked on Friday. Europe might be a big story in 2H. Recession, spiking interest rates, German deindustrialization. China meltdown continues, where will it end? San Francisco is failing, the laboratory of democracy. Violence over the weekend across the country was stupefying. Trump indictment backfires, majority of country see it as politically motivated.  The Biden recordings might be a huge deal. Or they might be buried by the MSM.

Noted cycle analyst Eric Hadik joined us for a market overview. He believes the dollar will stay close to its current range for a protracted period of time. Interest rates have peaked and are heading lower, perhaps in anticipation of the coming election cycle.  What affect this will have on housing is yet to be determined. Rates look like they are staying higher than they were during the housing bull market.  Gold should have a pullback soon and then proceed higher. Depending upon the extent of the pullback, they could go substantially higher.  Oil should see higher prices coming after its...

Federal Reserve – to hike or not to hike Pause is expected – further notes after the release of the interest rate move Bullish stocks, low bond yields and recovering housing market suggest interest rates aren’t that restrictive The Fed’s mission has been to get interest rates high enough to slash inflation from its current 4% to 5% range to 2%, even if that means pushing the economy into recession and unemployment higher. If the Fed had succeeded, you probably wouldn’t be seeing these things: stocks entering a new bull market, a rebounding housing market or long-term Treasury yields well below the inflation...

Kathleen Day has written a book about the history of financial crises in the US, which have been occurring since the founding of the country. She explains that while deregulation can be beneficial, it must be accompanied by increased oversight to prevent crises.

Kathleen Day discussed the similarities between the financial crisis...

America just refuses to face reality and that means that the dollar will continue to lose value and more and more money will be tossed into the furnace. Politicians are much more willing to feed the inflation beast than they are to fix the underlying problem of out of control spending. And it's not a matter of parties. It's matter of always taking the easy way out. After all, in current day America, a politician's primary responsibility is to get reelected every 2-4-6 years  Until that changes, nothing else will change.

The debt ceiling is a political bargaining chip used by both parties to get their desired outcomes. It is inevitable and does not have to be a bad thing, as long as it is kept under a certain percentage of revenue. The disruption to the monetary system will come from digital currencies, which will be backed by a military and government. The US is relatively stable, but the next 3-6 years will be volatile and rocky due to the economic downturn and Covid. Individuals should prepare for this by being aware of the situation and taking necessary precautions. Carl Gould...

Russell points out that a lot of focus is placed on the sectors that are performing well, while the struggling sectors are somewhat ignored. This creates misdirection, and fails to shed light on the real problems at hand. With debt skyr...

Robert Keintz from Gold Silver Pros joins us in this episode to discuss to inflation, forged numbers, the war in Europe, and the numerous other factors contributing to the economic decline we’re currently facing. We’re in a short term economic deflationary cycle that is becoming visible in multiple areas, but housing affordability in the US is at an all-time low nonetheless. We’re headed into a recession sometime this year, which will wake people up to a lot of the problems that have persisted for over a decade and are finally coming to light. Meanwhile, the rest o...

I sit down and chat with Michael Moor to address the uncertainty of the markets—which have been all over the place recently. We go over a series of charts, starting with energy; Natgas hit a bottom and is now heading up. And it looks as if oil could be heading lower for a while. Michael points out the three different time frames of biases, and explains why the bearish bias is on a hold at the moment. We should receive clarity on the direction of the trend within the next couple of weeks, and it’s important to b...

Marco Dondi appeared on the show a year ago to discuss his book, Outgrowing Capitalism, which suggests a re-consideration of the financial system and money allocation for smoother transitions within the global economy. Since we last spoke to him, a lot has taken place, but there has been very little change with regard to how monetary policy is conducted. We have officially hit the ceiling of money creation that our economy can sustain, and one burning question determines what comes next: How do we pull back?

Summary:
Despite news about about mass layoffs and declining job numbers, we still saw a stellar labor report last month. What can we gather from these manipulated statistics? Gordon T. Long joins us in this episode to shed some light on the confusing circumstances—consisting of employment numbers so large that feelings about whether or not the Fed was going to pivot (and how soon) reversed entirely. It’s clear that they’re pushing a false narrative, and despite big goals to lower inflation, we will be lucky to get it down to 4%. Furthermore, economic factors such as globalization, financ...

Summary:
Is the inflation scare over, or has the true scare yet to come? John Rubino joins me in this episode to discuss numerous factors that allude to the worsening of inflation before anything remotely positive takes place. The economy needs to roll over in order for the Fed to go back to easing; in this case, a good jobs report and housing report promote further tightening. This is bad news all across the board because we’ve already tightened enough to trigger a recession—with the effects are showing in the housing industry, automotive industry, and many other area...

Summary:
Does the government want to solve the inflation problem, or do they need it to stay this way for a bit? Eddy Gifford comes on the show to discuss this topic, and points out the contradictory effects in place. Powell has stated that their primary goal is to fix inflation, but interest rates keep going up. This means that the stock market could roll over and push up the cost of housing—which is one of the primary indicators in the CPI. Interest rates are ultimately defeating ht purpose of what they’re trying to accomplish, and thus, it’s...

Summary:
Dennis Tubbergen—and Austrian School of Economics Devotee, Retirement Planner, and prolific Author—joins us in this episode to discuss why planning for retirement today is different than it was during your parents’ generation. Changes in the economy over many years demand a strategic shift, and Dennis came up with revenue sourcing to reflect patterns within currency and the broader economy. He suggests designing an income map that accounts for how much you’ll need during retirement, and owning a bucket of assets linked to something tangible that will perform well in an inflationary environment.

Where are precious metals prices heading, and will they have any effect on the junior mining sector? David Erfle comes on the show to talk about the current frustration in the sector, which is unsurprising when we account for past, present, and future factors shaping the metals industry. Gold price went up $350 in 3 months after a false breakdown, and made a 55% move over 4 months in the stocks. In addition, we’re seeing merging and acquisition as well as the return to gold amid destruction of the global economic system. It seems that gold always does what it should, bu...

Not more than two weeks after we last spoke with Chris Simmons, the author of Castro’s Nemesis, one of the Cuban spies he helped catch was released from prison. After serving 20 years, the Pentagon and Justice Department were focused on getting this spy a plea agreement, and she pled guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit espionage. Cooperation was difficult to foster in the early stages of interrogation, but through various strategies, their expert team was able to gradually gather information. Furthermore, Chris talks about international relations, and differing views amongst nations regarding what espionage comprises. Tu...

The shifting markets have caused many to closely evaluate their portfolio strategies for the year. Why should you keep buying mining stocks? Economic historian Bob Hoye appears in this episode to discuss the potential in the mining sector in light of a study evaluating the gold divided by commodity index and declining mining costs. Bob emphasizes that, with a bear market, it’s best to clear out declining stocks and wait for opportunities to come—and it looks like there are great opportunities ahead for gold.

Will the January effect carry through to February? It looks like the trend has run its course, but Chris Vermeulen comes on the show to talk about what’s in store for the rest of the year—including a possible rebound in the coming months. Growth stocks are performing better with a significant amount of money flowing into them, and we’re seeing what Chris calls a “complacency rally.” There’s been a lot of pressure on gold, silver, and miners as the US dollar starts to rally, and growth stocks are holding up despite fear in the market.

Are you looking for a passive investing opportunity with lots of advantages and few risks? If so, you’ll definitely want to tune in to this episode featuring Whitney Elkins-Hutten, the director of investor education at PassiveInvesting.com. Whitney defines passive investing as investing in assets that produce a stabilized monthly/quarterly cash flow and provide diversification to the portfolio. In essence, you’re not trading time for cash flow; you make the investment once and monitor it from there—which is why passive investing is a great opportunity for busier individuals that want to generate another stream of inc...

Summary:
We’re seeing a lot of trends in the economy with specific regard to employment—as more companies announce mass layoffs, there seems to be a larger factor at play. Eddie Yoon joins me in this episode to talk about the grand shift that is taking place in the professional sphere, fueled by the transition from a knowledge-based economy to a creator-based economy. What this means is that the qualifications that were once absolutely necessary for white collar careers (i.e. college education or higher training/certifications) are becoming less valuable for particular roles; subsequently, some of the role...

We were joined by Trillion Energy’s (TCF 🇨🇦: TRLEF 🇺🇸: Z62 🇩🇪) CEO Arthur Halleran for a sponsor update. First, Art dispelled all concerns of a possible equity raise. He explained that the ongoing drill program well-funded, with materials and consumables for the first 7 wells currently being warehoused at their onshore facility. The company has ample cash on hand, and as additional wells come on-stream, cash flow will only increase. They received a $6.9 million cash call from their partner and another $7 million is expected in March. Art emphasized that he is not looking to dilute his shareholdings any further. To date, Trillion has drilled 4 wells...

Energy prices are heading up, but the CPI isn’t. What’s really happening in the energy sector, and how is it being affected by the economy at large? Dee Carter appears on the show to provide us with some insight, and emphasizes that the real concern exists in the oil/petroleum department. We’re not consuming as much right now because we had a relatively icy winter—causing people to drive less—but ultimately prices will go back up as consumption returns to normal. Although we’ve seen majo advocacy for green energy in the political space, everything t...

We were joined for a sponsor update by Fury Gold Mines’ CEO Tim Clark and Exploration SVP Bryan Atkinson ( FURY). The good news keeps on coming. 2022’s last three drill holes were recently released.

As consumer sentiment numbers take a plunge, many are wondering how to interpret these numbers and where the economy is heading. 40-year financial expert Mark Falter comes on the show to talk about the implications of consumer sentiment, which indicates how motivated Americans are about the economy. As a lagging indicator, a negative report translates to an economy that is already on its way down—and has been for a while. This decline is largely attributed to widespread fear of a recession, which is a fair concern in light of the Fed’s notoriously not-so-soft landings. Will they be a...

The most recent consumer credit read was announced, and the number is quite interesting. What is going on exactly, and what is the Fed going to do about it? Matthew Johnson, President and CEO of Johnson Wealth and Income Management, comes on the show to discuss this topic and strategies for addressing the credit problem. Consumer debt started to fall off in December of 2022, yielding $7.3 billion. This signaled the start of a cut in spending, wherein consumers are beginning to feel the pinch of high costs and re-evaluate their expenses. Unfortunately, the average consumer is not in a...

Peter Schiff joins us in this episode to address the core problems of today’s dysfunctional economy, and things to consider in preparation for the downfall of the dollar.

Furthermore, Peter and I discuss ways to stay protected and structure portfolios in an...

Consumer credit appears to be crashing, and the rate of increase on credit card debt is slowing down, which means that there has never been a more opportune time to pay off your credit cards than now. Paul Oster, the CEO of Better Qualified, comes on the show to unpack what’s happening with consumer credit, and why it is sinking at this particular time.

Summary:
Thought leader Doug Casey joins us in this episode to discuss the endangerment of critical thinking, posing major risks for global politics and the economic future alike. Doug attributes the root of the problem to increased support for organized coercion—a system that only looks attractive when economics and history are excluded from the equation. This lack of background knowledge and reasoning is already giving way to major difficulties (i.e. trade and food supply chain) and we’re subsequently seeing the dissolution of the globalist model. The government’s survival mode tactics may adversely affect the survival of its...

Summary:
While we had hoped that the latest job report would provide useful figures, it seems to be bogus. Brad Williams sits down with me to take a deeper look into the report and talk about how/why the employment situation has evolved in the way that it has. The job market remains strong in some locations due to large quantities of people moving to those places, but this is not the situation in every region. With the interest rate rise, the housing market has slowed significantly, and there is a direct relationship between increases in interest rates and...

Summary: In last week’s report, the job numbers came out surprisingly high, but is it too good to be true? David Stryzewski comes on the show to discuss these numbers and the way they have been purposefully distorted over the last few months. The high number of jobs is a product of seasonal adjustment—in which 3 million jobs were added in order to come up with the most recent figure. If we look back at November and December, 2.4 million jobs were subtracted to subsequently come up with these numbers. We should not invest our attention in these reports since they...

Summary:
Metals prices are getting slammed, sending gold and silver down. Andy Schectman comes on the show to talk about the circumstances of precious metals which, while frustrating, do not discredit the value of these assets during this time. Volatile conditions and the possibility of the London Metals Exchange running out of silver in 2023 speak to the fragility of the system. Gold and silver are not commodities; rather, they are the barometer for the health of the dollar and the US economy. Furthermore, Andy emphasizes that the valuation of gold and silver are not subject to counterpart liability, which...

FPX Nickel’s (OTC: FPOCF — TSX-V: FPX) CEO Martin Turenne joined us for a much-awaited sponsor update. The Baptiste Project pilot plant’s results are in, and they are quite positive.

We have a big week ahead—with the potential for lots of turmoil—and John Rubino joins us in this episode to discuss what we can expect out of it. Three big central banks are having meetings this week and are supposed to raise interest rates. This implies the potential for surprise, and to induce one of two outcomes: sending the markets into a relief rally or sending stocks crashing.

If you’re looking for an investment with huge returns, you’re going to want to listen to this episode. Self Storage Syndicated Equities CEO, Fernando Angelucci, comes on the show to talk about investing in storage facilities—a venture he has been profiting from since 2018.

Fernando slowly scaled up from there, and now bu...

Summary:
The markets are on a bounce, and yet, layoffs are more plentiful than ever. This is not the beginning of a bull market or an upward shift in economic growth; rather, inflation is disguising the inevitable recession ahead. Here to dispel the confusion and discuss what’s truly happening is Michael Pento, President and Founder of Pinto Portfolio Strategies. Michael emphasizes that real economic growth is shrinking while GDP is going up. While the Bureau of Labor Statistics came out with a better-than-expected number of unemployed individuals, this provides little hope amidst the large-scale layoffs at big corporations. Mo...

Businesses are pushing for their employees to return to the workplace, which has generated a lot of push back amongst workers in numerous fields. Here to discuss this is Carl Gould, who is not surprised at the collective reluctance to go back to the office. For the last two years, people have adjusted to the ‘new normal,’ and the thought of transitioning back can be daunting. Under certain roles and circumstances, some professionals have thrived in the remote atmosphere, but the truth is that company culture is difficult to foster when employees are isolated in their homes. Amidst thes...

Alongside the attempt to digitize everything in sight, a similar trend is taking place in the global economy: financialization. Here to discuss this is Emmanuel Daniel, a global thought leader in the future of finance. He describes the latest instances of data commodification as just one example of businesses seeking to financialize everything, and these trends are becoming extremely prevalent. Moreover, as people begin to gravitate towards alternative assets, it’s crucial to bear in mind that they subscribe to the same rules of the market and can be more volatile in early stages. Looking ahead, the US an...

Changes in the economy bring about subsequent changes in the housing market, which have been more prominent than ever in the post-pandemic world. Is it possible that we’ve seen the lows and housing is making a comeback? Texas-based mortgage broker Debbie Bloyd comes on the show to talk about what she is observing in real estate, and it looks as if people are returning to the markets in search of their future home. Interest rate fluctuations and intense bidding wars last year caused many people to put their home purchase on hold, and rent rather than buy. As...

We talked about the God Bless America ETF back in October 2022 and it has performed extremely well since—beating a lot of the major indices. In this episode I sit down with Adam Curran, the creator of the ETF, who has been dreaming of this moment ever since he first visited the New York Stock Exchange as a child. Adam attributes the success of the fund to his somewhat aberrant strategy: focusing on businesses that put profit over politics. As many big corporations get tied up with every political conversation, Adam believes that it is critical for businesses to...

We’re halfway through the first month of 2023 and consumer sentiment is better than expected. Will the January effect continue, and are good times here to stay? Edward Siddell comes on the show to talk about this, and is unsurprised by consumer sentiment given everything else going on. With rising inflation comes a subsequent rise in credit, meaning that people’s spending ability was unaffected during the holiday season. Nonetheless, we should brace ourselves for the inevitable—which will entail a bad earning season and many jobs lost, according to Edward. We should expect another round of quantitative easing...

I sit down and chat with Eric Hadik to get some insight on 2023—with specific regard to trends and cycles taking precedence in the global economy. Eric suggests that we are going to see the extreme side of some trends, and the reversal of others.

I invite James Locke on the show to discuss 2023 in regard to the markets: where are the markets and interest rates headed, and will it be a happy new year for investors? James emphasizes that market behavior will ultimately rely on the Federal Reserve. Amongst other uncertainties, we should keep an eye out for predictability, which reduces volatility in any case. The war in Russia will have a major impact on energy and food—an unforeseen obstacle prior to last year. The US seems to be ahead of the curve on a number of important things, but it no...

In this episode, Craig Hemke and I review some predictions he made in 2022, using these outcomes as a guideline for the year ahead. The Fed is going to have to decide if they want to continue to hike rates, and with history as a trustworthy guide, Craig suggests that we have seen this narrative before. A pivot is to be expected later in the year, and negative reports will ultimately cause the Federal Reserve to cut rates. Will they have any credibility left by the end of the year?

Is traditional investing serving you, or is it time to search for alternative approaches? Robert Napolitano comes on the show to discuss what he learned from the ’08 crash, and how he re-structured his investing strategies to align with the modern financial economy.

Robert realized that all along he had neglected to prepare for a possible downturn, and this made him re-think his approach to investing. After filing for bankruptcy, attending law scho...

Summary:
To kick off the new year, John Rubino and I sit down and chat about expectations for 2023—specifically in regard to the state of the economy. One of the Fed branches announced that we are in a recession, which is a fair assessment given all of the recessionary indicators that can be observed. We’ve been seeing slowed growth for quite some time now, and should expect to see even more of decline going forward. The Fed is ultimately going to have to keep tightening until something (in this case, large cap stocks) breaks, and they will eventually be f...

Tough times are ahead as we approach the new year. Should we expect a white collar recession, or is the recession going to hit all parts of the economy equally? Eddie Yoon appears in this episode to discuss which industries are being impacted the most by the current economic conditions. Looking at employment, enormous cuts have been made in the realm of corporate staff. Recent instances of mass layoffs have demonstrated that management roles—especially those managing knowledge workers—are being omitted and will be at major risk in 2023. Thus, as corporations eliminate middle men, it looks as if w...

Summary: Now is the time to be the most vigilant and think ahead about how you secure your personal data. Security expert Bryant Tow comes on the show to inform us about this. Oftentimes, people go as long as 100 days without knowing that an account of theirs has been hacked. How does this happen?
