Turning Hard Times Into Good Times

Keith Weiner, Brian Groves & Michael Oliver return. One of the strongest fiat currencies over many decades has been the Swiss Franc. It has been so strong in fact that the Swiss National Bank orchestrated negative interest rates to weaken it. Keith will explain how permanent backwardation measured in the Swiss Franc guarantees its collapse and what that may mean for the post Bretton Woods, dollar-based system as a whole. We will explore ways you may be able to profit from Keith’s insights into the seldom understood dynamics leading to the pathology of currency market manipulation by central banks. Brian will update us on the exploration efforts of Genesis Metals, a company with a highly-prospective gold deposit in Quebec, and Michael will provide his usual insights into major markets of interest to free market and honest money advocates.

Tony Barresi joins us for the first time. John Rubino and Michael Oliver return. In 1970, a 1% increase in U.S. treasury interest rates increased the budget deficit by $3.7 billion. Now, with a $22 trillion budget deficit, a 1% rise in rates adds $220 billion annually to America's deficit. A 5% rise would increase the U.S. deficit by more than $1 trillion per year! The U.S. is clearly approaching a state of fiscal bankruptcy even before baby boomer demographic considerations are factored in. But a gaping U.S. budget deficit isn't the only reason rising interest rates are a big deal. They tend to increase the value of the dollar. That means emerging nations that borrow dollars will also face growing insolvency. John Rubino will talk about those dynamics. Michael Oliver will discuss his latest work on interest rates, the dollar and gold. A favorite gold exploration company, Triumph Gold, will be introduced to you by first time guest John Barresi in this very important episode.

Ronald-Peter Stöferle visits for the first time. Amir Adnani and Michael Oliver return. Few investment professionals know the details of the gold markets better than fund manager Ronald-Peter Stöferle. Why has gold been in such a tepid market at a time when real interest rates remain historically low and as mal investment by massive printing press money has led the world to the verge of another catastrophe? Those and many other related questions will be posed to Mr. Stöferle. Amir will discuss Goldmining Inc.’s strategy of picking up valuable mineral properties in weak markets and what he plans to do with those projects when the price of gold finally turns higher. Michael will provide his usual valuable insights into the gold markets and other markets that are of most interest to our listeners.

Alasdair, Michael Oliver and Chen Lin return. Apocalyptic thinking and prepping is common among some libertarians. While complete annihilation is always a possibility given human kind’s self-destructive nature, overreaction may also be a form of self destruction. Yes, we are on the verge of some major changes, not the least of which is a decline in the American Empire. We might be better served to consider more likely less drastic outcomes for the sake of optimal planning for our futures and the future of our loved ones. To help prepare, Alasdair will discuss developing geopolitical and monetary trends. Michael will provide is usual prescient market insights for stocks, bonds and gold based on his momentum and structural analysis and Chen Lin will talk about a couple of his favorite bio tech stocks he thinks have the chance for extraordinary gains.

Nolan Watson and Thomas Coughlin visit for the first time. Nolan is the CEO of a gold royalty and streaming company named Sandstorm Gold Royalties. For reasons that Nolan will explain streaming and royalty companies profit from metal production but face less risk than standard mining companies. As such, they tend to be priced by the market at higher multiples than the norm in the mining sector. Owning gold as a safe haven against risks of political or monetary mayhem is well documented. But Thomas will explain why combining crypto-currency backed gold has advantages over holding gold in your personal safe. Both men will provide an education that is most important during a time when global economies are becoming ever more burdened with debt with potential for another major catastrophe as bad as or worse than that of 2008-09.

Jeff Deist, Ivan Bebek & Michael Oliver return. Why are organizations like Black Lives Matter and Antifa violently prohibiting the expression of ideas they oppose? Why are university campuses, once fertile grounds for an honest search for truth, now the scene of violence against views opposing the federal government’s sponsored religion, namely Liberalism? How will this destruction of our First Amendment Rights impact life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness and financial wellbeing for Americans? What can we do to protect ourselves against the moral and financial carnage that results? Those questions and more will be explored with Jeff. Ivan will update us on his company’s gold exploration projects in Canada and Peru and Michael will provide his momentum/structural analysis for gold, equity and debt markets.

Richard Maybury, Peter Tallman & Michael Oliver return. America and its laws were built on Judeo-Christian values. But now a virus that led to the French Revolution is spreading like wildfire in America. It’s called Liberalism aka Progressiveness. It traces its beginning to philosophers like Rousseau whose ideas led to the bloody French Revolution. Christians were deemed the enemy and beheaded. In case you have’nt noticed, Rousseau’s intellectual venom is spreading exponentially in America as it is nurtured in universities and sold by Democrats. Never before in our history has the freedom and liberties fought for in 1776 been under such attack. Richard will help us understand this cancerous political environment to help us keep what we regard as the good life. Less philosophically but equally important, Peter will update us on Klondike Gold’s growing prospects for outlining a major gold deposit in the Yukon and Michael will provide his usual prescient insights into key markets.

David McAlvany, Chen Lin and Michael Oliver return. You are not likely aware that by allocating 25% of your investment portfolio to gold rather than bonds is enormously more profitable. If 50 years ago, you invested 75% of $1,000 in stocks with the remainder in bonds, that $1,000 would have grown to $93,000. But had you invested 75% in stocks and 25% in gold, that $1,000 would have grown to $125,000. Even better, the portfolio with gold would have been less risky (fewer ups and downs) than the stocks and bonds portfolio because gold usually gains when stocks and bonds decline. David will share some of his firm’s products and how they can be used to grow wealth with less volatility. Chen who has a legendary investing track record will share some of his latest biotech ideas and Michael will provide his latest insights into gold and other key markets.

Dr. Benjamin Wiker is a first time guest. Dr. Quinton Hennigh & Michael Oliver return. Since the 1950s, Liberalism has pushed Christianity aside and become a state religion in America. The federal government has passed laws that remove the rights of Christians to worship God as they choose. Traditional family structure and sexual norms are being ridiculed or even outlawed. All manner of sexual perversion is approved. Pres. Eisenhower valued fiscal rectitude & a balanced budget. He was averse to wars, regime changes & excessive military spending. Wiker will explain longstanding philosophical underpinnings that have led to Liberalism becoming America’s state religion at the expense of Judeo-Christian values & how that is impacting our spiritual and economic lives. Regarding our personal investments, Dr. Hennigh will return to update us on the latest gold exploration discoveries by Novo’s Resources in Australia. Michael will once again help us sniff out the direction of key markets.

Andrew Maguire, Chris Taylor and Michael Oliver are this week’s guests. Making unsecured loans into an increasingly vulnerable liability-based fiat banking system is unwise. Yet 99% of the population is unaware that is exactly what they are doing with their checking accounts. Liquidating your unsecured loans to your bank and using the proceeds to buy assets that you hold in your own possession is what this show advocates weekly. But is it possible to retain the same level of monetary liquidity as you experience in your bank account in order to easily pay your bills and transact business? Andrew says “yes.” He will explain how the newly created Kinesis Monetary system, which combines gold and silver with block chain technology, not only enables you to easily transact business but to earn a yield in the process. Chris will update us on a very exciting emerging gold discovery in the Red Lake district and Michael will pass along his usual helpful views on key markets.

Alasdair Macleod, Ivan Bebek and Michael Oliver are this week’s guests. History tells us that an ounce of gold has retained 100% of its purchasing power since the Roman Republic. But what price of gold in US dollars should we expect when the Fed responds to the next financial crisis by creating exponentially more dollars out of thin air than the trillions of fraudulent money it created in response to the past financial crisis? Alasdair Macleod will opine on that topic as well as why another financial crisis is inevitable. And he will provide some ideas about how you might protect yourself and your loved ones. Ivan Bebek, whose Auryn Resources has several gold targets in North America that are being explored this summer, will update us on their progress, and Michael Oliver will join us to update us on his latest views on gold and other key markets.

John Rubino and Michael Oliver return. Since Nixon removed gold from the global monetary system in 1971, the U.S. has suffered chronic trade deficits that led to a loss of higher-paid manufacturing jobs in exchange for low-paying service jobs. Triffin's dilemma states that countries with reserve currency status must by definition run trade deficits and export higher paying jobs. Trump’s trade policies and stance on NATO suggest a reversal of trade deficits aimed at a return of higher paying jobs to America. Can those policies work? Will the Deep State that has enjoyed the benefits of a reserve currency allow it to happen? We will drill down on this and related topics in more detail with John and look forward to hearing Michael’s latest readings on stocks, bonds and precious metals. Your editor hopes to comment on some of his favorite gold exploration stocks at a time when the junior resource sector is near a bottom and the equity markets at a nine-year high.

Marc Faber, Peter Tallman and Michael Oliver return. It’s unfortunate that hate speech arbitrarily defined and dictated by the left is suppressing free speech and the search for objective truth. Thank God white people populated America uttered by Marc might have been said in a less offensive manner, but to remove the truth-seeking thoughts of a freedom loving, non-racist intellectual of Dr. Faber's stature is unconscionable and ultimately destructive, most of all to minorities. We are delighted to have Dr. Faber with us to discuss the global markets as he once did on all major business channels, at Barron's, and other mainstream print media. We will ask Marc about Trump's economic policies, global monetary policy, stocks, bonds and precious metals, geopolitics, dollar hegemony, the Petro Yuan, and much more. Peter will update us on an increasingly promising Klondike gold project and Michael will be with us to share his latest take on gold and other important topics.

David Jensen, Keith Weiner, and Michael Oliver return. David will explain why Trump’s anti-mainstream policies are highly logical and necessary to stop trade deficits and the exportation of the manufacturing jobs of those Hillary Clinton called “the deplorables” who live in “fly over country.” Keith will provide serious thoughts about an inevitable monetary reset triggered by Keynesian economics that has not only destroyed capital but also forbidden currency price discovery and will explain why he expects a return to gold-backed bonds by state governments starting with Nevada which just passed a law allowing it to borrow using gold-backed bonds. Oliver’s objective structural momentum technical analysis helps investors, as opposed to short-term speculators, to know when to enter or leave major markets on an ongoing basis. He will provide his latest appraisal of the stock, bond, commodity and monetary metals markets.

Jeff Clark, Nav Dhaliwal and Michael Oliver are this week’s return guests. John Kerry warned Wall Street that if the Iranian treaty were torn up, the U.S. might find the dollar hegemony under attack. After Pres. Trump abandoned the agreement, Russia sold ½ of its U.S. Treasury holdings. Perhaps it would be more accurate to say the Russians are going, that is, going out of the dollar. We will explore Russia’s Treasury dump and other related issues with Jeff Clark to get a read on what that may mean for major markets and we will ask Michael to what extent Jeff’s ideas sync with what his non-emotional momentum readings are telling him. Nav heads up Bonterra Resources, which should be announcing a dramatic increase in its Quebec gold resource, will update us on that company’s prospects now that it is acquiring Metanor Resources.

Richard Maybury and Michael Oliver return. Historian and free-market advocate Maybury will help us assess the stage of America’s decline as a global power through the discussion of topics like the following: “What Trump does not know about his foreign enemies.”, “Is Donald Trump’s trade war against China leading to a shooting war?”, “A new, but unrecognized global emergency.”, “A new oil crisis and how you may profit from it.”, “Japan’s risk of invasion from its neighbors.”, “The coming internet disaster”, and “An assessment of monetary velocity and what that might mean for the cost of staying alive.” Stepping away from these theoretical topics, Michael Oliver will provide a current snapshot of markets which is helpful in knowing whether to buy, sell or hold various asset groups. Your host will comment on some of his favorite gold and silver stocks.

Jeff Deist returns. Lobo Tiggre (aka Louis James) visits for the first time. For decades, the American empire has expanded through military might financed with debt-based money while lower classes in the U.S. have been pacified through socialist policies. But now countries the U.S. had relied upon to fund its deficit are ceasing to buy Treasuries used to fund a military that threatens their own national sovereignty. As a result, China, Russia, Iran, and others are building institutions to compete against the dollar, forcing Americans to finance their own deficits even as another financial crisis is brewing from debt strangulation. How much longer can debt-based guns and butter policies last in light of the natural laws of economics? What should people do to protect themselves against a carnage that is almost certain to take place in the near future. We'll ask Jeff. Letter investment writer Lobo Tiggre shares his best gold investment ideas that are also favored by your host.

John Rubino substitutes for host Jay Taylor who is vacationing. John will interview first time guest Doug Noland and Michael Oliver. Doug Noland believes the monetary experiment of recent decades and most notably zero-interest rates following the 2008-09 financial crisis has set the stage for the mother of all financial disasters. Debt has grown exponentially and income is edging ahead in a very slow linear manner thanks to unlimited amounts of debt-based money creation. Doug will explain why an impending financial disaster is virtually certain. But he will provide some ways to greatly reduce personal risk by planning ahead while a calm environment still exists. Michael will update listeners to his latest views on key stock, bond, commodity and precious metals markets and, in a prerecorded interview with Jay, Brian Groves, Chairman of Genesis Metals, discusses the progress being made in growing high-grade ounces of gold at that company’s Chevrier project in Quebec.

Alasdair Macleod and Peter Tallman return. A quiet revolution is taking place in a monetary vacuum developing on the back of the dollar’s eroding hegemony. Maybe it's too early to call what’s happening the demise of the dollar as the world’s reserve currency, but there is certainly a move away from it in Asia. And every time the Americans deploy their control over global trade settlement as a weapon against the regimes they dislike, nations who are neutral observers take note and consider how to protect themselves, “just in case.” Alasdair will provide some examples of how Asians in particular are using gold to protect their national sovereignty and how that may be impacting financial and commodity markets. Geologist Peter Tallman now sees Klondike’s mother lode target as being geologically akin to the Yukon's Kamanak Gold deposit that was sold for $500 million to Goldcorp. He will explain exploration plans to unlock value for shareholders.

Keith Weiner & Michael Oliver return. One of Paul Krugman’s market false statements is that infinite debt is okay if “we” owe it to ourselves. Keith will explain why Krugman’s logic on that issue is false and how endless levels of debt is setting the world up for a massive economic implosion. Keith will also explain why he thinks interest rates will continue to decline. That may set us up for a contrary viewpoint from Alasdair Macleod on next week’s show. Keith may also provide more insights into how you can earn a yield on your gold horde with as little as 10 ounces of gold. Applying his momentum/structural analysis, Michael will update us with what his work is telling us about stocks, bonds, commodities and precious metals. And time permitting, I’m planning to comment on Novo Resources’ bulk sample results from the Comet Well anticipated before the show, unless by chance we can arrange for Dr.Hennigh to talk about them directly.
