Turning Hard Times Into Good Times

William Engdahl returns. Ralph Fitch, CEO of Trimetals Mining visits for the first time. The U.S. pretends its economy is strong even as employed workers continue to shrink. To blame others for its own economic problems, NATO engages in wars & seeks to isolate Russia and China from global trade by way of Obama’s Pivot to Asia and NATO's positioning of troops on Russia's border. As NATO seeks to use military might to win an economic war, Russia and China have been building up massive hordes of gold even as the West destroys its currency by dis-hording gold and destroys capitalism via Keynesian economic policies. Gold is now rising dramatically and the dollar hegemony is in decline. We will ask William which side he thinks will prevail and given existing policies will the price of gold continue to rise? If so, investors may want to learn of Ralph’s Trimetals Mining's multi-million oz. gold deposit for financial protection and to profit resulting from these geopolitical events.

Rick Rule and Michael Oliver return. No one has been better at picking major market turns than Michael Oliver. In the middle of 2015 he called the bottom in gold and said prepare to go long. Recently when most other technical analysts have been uncertain that a new gold bull market was born, Oliver correctly stuck to his guns. From a macro point of view, Oliver has been the most reliable and your host’s subscribers have profited mightily. Through June 7, gold stocks in J Taylor’s Gold and Energy Tech Stocks newsletter are on average, up triple digits! But when will we know the party is over so we take profits before they disappear? No one is better able to provide insights into that most important question, especially when dealing with individual stocks, than Sprott’s legendary investor Rick Rule. What kind of companies is Rick putting his money into during these early days of this resurgent gold bull market? For money making ideas, you can’t afford to miss this show.

Jeff Berwick and Amir Adnani return. Berwick was an early pioneer of Bitcoin which has started to gain attention once again. Its price skyrocketed 25% last week alone as the Peoples Bank of China has been devaluing the Renminbi. Jeff will discuss recent remarks by Bill Gross & Alan Greenspan suggesting the global banking system is on the verge of collapse. Only a debt jubilee can save us. But if the ruling elite are planning a debt jubilee, will it benefit the masses or just the elite? For self protection, Jeff favors diversification of assets, which is why Bitcoin, in addition to gold, silver and precious metals mining shares, is part of his portfolio. Amir will be with us to talk about Brazil Resources which company has used the recent downturn to add a large gold resource to its portfolio in Brazil and Canada. Now is one of the best times to consider buying gold stocks I have seen in decades so you won’t want to miss Amir’s remarks.

John Rubino replaces Rick Rule who was unable to join the show today. Eric Coffin will talk about five exciting junior gold exploration plays. If infinite amounts of money can be created out of thin air, then why in the world are inventories of $100 million homes starting to pile up? Why is Japan now showing signs of panic as they demand even more QE? Why are fellow G7 members ignoring Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s please for help? Surely Paul Krugman who believes wealth is created by governments and central bank printing presses and not by hard work, saving, and honest capital formation must have an answer. But if not, perhaps John Rubino who most certainly does not agree with Krugman may be able to explain that Nobel prize winner’s perverted thought process. Michael Oliver is unable to be with us this week but your host will pass along some of his latest views on the gold and equity markets.

William Engdahl and Michael Oliver return. Obscured from most Americans is an invisible war against American hegemony and its currency, the petrodollar. As Jim Rickards points out, only through currency wars can America's adversaries like China and Russia and other so-called “rogue” nations hope to retain their sovereignty against an encroaching Anglo-American empire. While Wall Street and Washington continue to destroy the economies of the West and the dollar itself through endless debt, China and Russia are building a New Silk Road banking system and an infrastructure funded by a gold-based system. Engdahl will explain how by using gold as money, America’s adversaries are setting the table to pick up the pieces when the dollar self-destructs and gold measured in dollars rises to unfathomable heights. Oliver will provide his latest comments on stocks, bonds and precious metals and your host will discuss one or two favorite gold/silver stocks from the Metals Investor Forum.

Doug Casey and Michael Oliver return. The brilliant, eccentric and highly successful investor Casey understands the destructive force of governments. This enables him to turn negative into positive returns and his luxury development at Cafayate, Argentina offers a potential safe haven from physical and financial harm from a world of potential chaos. Doug’s understanding of the world as it really exists as opposed to a picture-painted by American propaganda has led him to say crazy things like when he suggested the attempt to buy gold when the system breaks down will be like trying to force Niagara Falls through a garden hose. But now a growing number of household-name hedge fund managers are in agreement with Doug’s assessment regarding gold. Doug will opine on the future of our world and give some opinions on prospects of a Donald Trump presidency. Michael Oliver will provide his usual important insights into precious metals, commodities, stocks and bonds.

Jim Rogers and Michael Oliver return. Jim's vision of an impending bankrupt western world caused him to move to Singapore. Other guests on this show understand the destruction of Keynesian economics but the advantage Jim has over all the others is time spent among common people in over 100 countries. No one has a more intimate understanding of the social, moral, financial and structural fiber of nations. From his perch in Singapore we will ask Jim where he is investing his money these days. Does he still look favorably at Russia as he did the last time we spoke? What if anything might a Trump Presidency mean for geopolitics and investing around the globe? As always we will ask Michal for his latest sense as to how the various markets are shaping up now? How close are we to a breakout in the entire commodity complex? How much further will gold rise before it hits its first major resistance? Are the dollar's days numbered as Alasdair Macleod suggested last week?

Alasdair Macleod and Michael Oliver return. Saudi Arabia has been in the news recently for several interconnected reasons. Underlying it all is a spendthrift country that is rapidly becoming insolvent. What does that mean for the legitimacy of a U.S. dollar based not on gold but on a vibrant Saudi Arabia that demands all OPEC nations pay for oil sales in dollars? What if Saudi Arabia finds better “friends” like China or India or a gold-backed international currency to satisfy its own economic needs? Those questions and more will be asked of Alasdair. Michael Oliver’s whose market “plate tectonic shifts” are now coming into focus will update us on what his momentum work is telling him about stocks, bonds, commodities and precious metals at a time when the markets appear to on the precipice of dramatic change.

Ellen Brown and Brent Cook return. Gwen Preston appears for the first time. Ellen Brown, whose work has long ago exposed the criminal nature of the banking system, discusses why only select figures have been exposed to tax evasion in the Panama Papers and how that relates to plans to rob you of your savings through bail-ins and a move toward making cash holdings illegal. What might those Keynesian-orchestrated banking policies mean for gold, silver and other tangible assets? Your host will outline Michal Oliver’s latest thoughts on stocks, bonds, gold and silver. Brent and Gwen will join me to discuss some of their favorite gold and silver mining companies, part of an exclusive group of companies that will be invited to the Metals Investor Forum in Vancouver. Your host will also be speaking at this conference. Admission is free but limited so sign up immediately to this May 14-15 event. http://www.eventbrite.ca/e/metals-investor-forum-may-2016-registration-21359621202?aff=taylor

William Engdhal, Daniel McAdams and Michael Oliver return. America’s ruling elite, who are bent on destroying the sovereignty of nations including that of the U.S., have denounced gold ownership. Meantime, China and Russia who fight to protect their sovereignty, encourage citizens to swap currency for gold, an asset-based money. China not only imports massive amounts of gold far greater than they admit but it is now the number one gold producer in the world. Russia is the world’s second largest gold producer and it is selling its oil to China, not for dollars but for gold! Why are these two nations building their gold reserves while the NATO countries are getting rid of theirs? We will ask William to opine on that while Daniel will speak about how America continues to display insanity by repeating failed foreign policies just as the Fed continues to repeat failed monetary policies. Michael will reveal the latest momentum readings for gold, silver, stocks and bonds.

Robert McHugh, Eric Coffin and Michael Oliver return. With some major tectonic shifts occurring in the currency markets now and a threat of chaos from the demise of the yen carry trade, might a great unwind of the latest stock market bubble be upon us and if so, were can investors go for protection from the storm? Concerning those questions, two of your host Jay Taylor’s favorite technical analysts, Robert McHugh and Michael Oliver, will appear. Then to drill down on some specific markets investors may go to for cover, Eric, as well as Jay, will suggest some individual stocks that may serve you well if indeed we are heading for a major decline in stocks and bonds.

Mark Thornton, Jeff Deist and David Wolfin return. Nixon declared that “we are all Keynesians now.” Indeed Keynesian economics has returned the world to the precipice of an economic dark age. Realizing that establishment claims that all is well in the land of Keynes is phony; Democrats are favoring the likes of Sanders who would be more Keynesian than Keynes. Only Trump provides hope of a return to free market capitalism. But what would his economic policies look like? Are prospects so dire with the establishment that we may as well gamble with Trump? Jeff will provide his views on the chance for Trump entering the White House and we will ask economist Thornton for his views of what Trump economics might look like, for better or worse. David Wolfin, who has done a marvelous job as CEO of Avino Silver and Gold Mines, will provide an update on his company’s dramatic silver production growth and his soon to open gold mine in B.C.

Frank Holmes, Jim Payne and Michael Oliver return. What has been driving the price of gold higher thus far into 2016? More importantly is this move long lasting or simply a bear market rally. Frank will provide his views on that question from a fundamental analysis and Michael will update us on his views which so far suggest we are into a major move upward in gold. No matter what your views on gold, not putting all your eggs in one basket is always wise advice. Frank manages a diverse group of mutual funds so we will ask him to give us his larger view on the economy and global markets and how investors might use a group of funds to provide diversification. Jim Payne of dynaCERT will update us on his company’s progress in marketing its patented technology to increase fuel efficiency and reduce carbon emissions by 30% to 40% for diesel engines and prospects for dramatic sales growth and profits.

Ellen Brown and Michael Oliver return. Americans are told our country engages in regime change for the good of citizens around the world. From Hillary Clinton’s declassified emails we learn Libya was destroyed because of its successful implementation of a gold-backed currency. Under gold money, Qaddafi’s Libya prospered and was leading 53 Africa countries toward a gold-backed monetary and trading system. Qaddafi's honest gold monetary system was a threat to America. Qaddafi and Libya had to be destroyed, leaving it a hotbed of ISIS terror. Like Qadaffi, Donald Trump also is warm toward gold as money and is adamant about finding out who really was behind 9-11. That may be why Pres. Bush I gave the execution sign for Trump at a recent GOP debate. Ms. Brown has documented the evils of our fiat banking system. In light of the political climate in the U.S. we'll ask her if she has hope for positive change. Michael will provide his latest technical findings on the gold and equity markets.

William Engdahl, Ivan Bebek and Michael Oliver return. The U.S. and NATO are bankrupt and there is little hope for their financial restoration because their monetary system is built on the sinking sand of debt. As we enter 2016, hints of negative interest rates and a rising gold price tell more Wall Street pros that the Fed has no cure for our depressed economy. Relating to his recent book, “The Lost Hegemon: Whom the Gods Would Destroy,” William will discuss America’s geopolitical vulnerability given its Achilles heel—its debt based monetary system. Then he will explain how it compares with a monetary system being built between Russia and China that is based on an asset—gold. Gold has gotten off to a strong start in 2016 but will it continue? We will ask Michael for his latest informed views on that question. Then the highly successful gold mine entrepreneur, Bebek will tell us how he and his team are planning to make Auryn Resources their biggest success yet.

Richard Maybury and John Ciampaglia return. Last week, mining analyst John Tumazos said a Trump Presidency would be “spectacular” for the mining industry as well as manufacturing in America. But what would his opposition to NAFTA and the TPP mean for global trade and the financial markets? Could a Trump Presidency actually return America to its libertarian republican roots and away from elitist international banking oligarchs that now control the American political process and send Americans into perpetual war for the sake of global financial domination? There is no one better to discuss these issues than Mr. Maybury in light of historical lessons. More directly with respect to our personal finances, gold is on the rise so far in 2016. Will it continue to do so and if so, should investors look to buy mining stocks through the Sprott Gold Miners ETFs? John will update us on the performance of the Sprott Gold share EFTs and explain management’s philosophy behind managing these funds.

John Tumazos visits for the first time. John Williams and Michael Oliver return. As central bankers run out of answers and panic with helicopter money, leading to dollar destruction and hyper inflation, what will that mean for gold and gold mining companies? Williams returns to update us on his hyper inflation thesis. And what better person to ask what that would mean for gold mining stocks than Tumazos? Whether William’s forecast turns out to unfold remains to be seen. In any event, we covet the views of Tumazos who has been considered one of the best mining analysts ever on Wall Street. We will ask Tumazos to share his thoughts about the current state of gold and silver miners in the still depressed market. Hopefully he will also share a couple of his top picks. Oliver who is about as bullish on gold now as any technical analyst I know, will share his latest outlook for the yellow metal, which he believes may reach upward to $1,450 sooner than most investors think possible.

Jeff Deist, Michael Oliver & Ron Perry return. As Keynesian economic pathology digs the global economy deeper into a depression, out of desperation and denial, Keynesian religious zealots like Larry Summers and Paul Krugman champion negative interest rates laws making cash ownership a felony. From the viewpoint of Austrian economics, we will ask Jeff to opine on what impact these anti-free market policies will have not only on our economy but on personal liberty and what impact they may have on stocks, bonds and precious metals. Michael will update us on what his latest structural and momentum models are saying about those same markets and Ron Perry will update us on the progress of Quebec gold mining company, Metanor Resources.

Darrell MacMullin, CEO of BitGold and former President of PayPal Canada, visits. At a time when banks are preparing for bail-ins to shore up their balance sheets, reallocating savings as possible outside of the banking system may be prudent. BitGold has the potential to become “PayPal on steroids,” the steroid being gold. Its value, unlike fiat money, does not require healthy banks. Combined with modern technology BitGold leads to a less expensive payment system than PayPal. With a PayPal-like technology in hand and using gold to reduce transaction costs, BitGold not only provides you with a legally safe option outside an increasingly dangerous banking system, but it has the potential to richly reward investors in BitGold’s parent, GoldMoney (T-XAU/USOTC-BTGDF). We will look to Darrell to explain BitGold’s many services for consumers as well as the company’s business prospects. Chen Lin will also join us to update us on his favorite stocks in the bio-pharmaceutical space.

F. William Engdahl and Michael Oliver return. Mainstream media tells us oil prices are collapsing because Iran is shipping more oil and demand from China is weak. Engdahl explains why most if not all of the reasons given really are a Wall Street elite setting us up for an explosive turn upward. We will explore the bigger picture of the U.S./Saudi alliance as it pertains to the petrodollar and the U.S. dollar retaining reserve currency status. Also, to what extent is trade between Russia and China hiding strength in their respective economies? To what extent is the absence of that trade with the West contributing to growing weakness of other commodity producing nations? What about reports that Russia is selling oil to China in exchange for gold? That and many more questions will be asked of Mr. Engdahl. Then, we will seek Michael Oliver’s views on the oil markets from a technical viewpoint. Does Michael think we could be nearing a major price turn for oil any time soon?
