Turning Hard Times Into Good Times

Mark Skousen and Gene Epstein return. Dr. Skousen is the speaker at the next NYC Junto meeting over which Gene presides. Dr. Skousen’s book “The Structure of Production” proposes an alternative to existing GDP accounting. Why is there a need for alternative national income accounting and what light might it shed on US economic performance? What difference does national income accounting makes in terms of policy and investment decisions? Does Mark agree with BLS inflation numbers or does he think they are understated, thus leading to an overstatement of GDP as economist John Williams insists? Also, Gene will be asked to comment on a recent article he wrote for Barrons discussing minimum wages and why mandating them are destructive. To what extent does the left’s insistence on minimum wage increases dovetail with existing GDP accounting? Gold shares are starting 2014 very strongly so your host will comment on a few of his favorites that you should keep an eye on.

Ivan Bebek of Cayden Resources visits for the first time. Dr. Peter Treadway, John Rubino and Jeff Deist return. Rubino thinks China could trigger the next financial avalanche and Treadway who lives close by in Hong Kong appears to be in agreement. Both confirm Alasdair Macleod's remarks of last week that an over indebted, mal-invested Chinese economy could trigger a global collapse. From an Austrian economic perspective, Jeff Deist of the Mises Institute will share his views of the economic and social mess the West is in and then in keeping with the show's quest to connect theory with practical money making ideas, Ivan Bebek, President & CEO of Cayden Resources, a well-funded, up and coming gold exploration company in Mexico, will talk about building a multimillion ounce gold deposit it Mexico. Your host will also provide some exciting gold share investment ideas from his newsletter, J Taylor's Gold, Energy & Tech Stocks.

Economic geologist Dr. Quinton Hennigh, visits for the first time. Alasdair Macleod, Amir Adnani and Eric Coffin return. As this cyclical gold bear market ends, the greatest secular gold bull market will return to transfer massive wealth from holders of paper assets to holders of gold. Macleod will explain why, as the Post-Lehman era comes to an end, gold may be set for a breathtaking rise. With a return to gold as money, gold miners will become the new “banks” as they replace the present day creators of fraudulent fiat money. But which are the best mines to own? Amir will talk of Brazil Resources’ growing gold resource in Brazil. In the second hour at JayTaylorMedia.com Eric will talk of his top gold picks and also in the second hour, Dr. Hennigh will talk of his search in Australia for the next 1.6 billion oz. Witwatersrand gold deposit, the greatest gold deposit in history. With success, that could be the greatest gold deposit for the greatest gold bull market in history.

Louis James of Casey Research visits for the first time and Michael Oliver and Robert Ian return. Buy low, sell high. Simple instructions, but so very difficult to do. To help shine the light on stupidly undervalued gold stocks, James will tell us why he says categorically Feb. 2014 is the time to buy gold and gold shares. We'll ask him to justify that statement and to name a couple of his top picks. Louis makes the point that it isn’t all that important to pick the final bottom but buying value is. But still, as the old adage goes, “timing is everything.” So, for a short and longer term view of the major markets including gold and silver, we turn to one of the top technical analysts in America, Michael Oliver, scribe of Momentum Structural Analysis. He will talk about the birth of a new bull market for gold and the relative value of the shares to bullion. Last but not least, Robert Ian will talk about the Feb. 21-22 Liberty Mastermind Symposium and why this is a must attend event.

James Turk, John Rubino, David Gurwitz and Gene Epstein return. Turk and Rubino will talk about their latest book, “The Money Bubble,” which builds on their earlier blockbuster “The Coming Collapse of the Dollar” by applying another decade more of monetary pathology. Topics to be discussed: How did we get in a mess far bigger than that of the 1930s? What are the consequences? Things you should understand about the dangers and opportunities that will result from the impending crisis and what you can do to protect yourself against the impending cataclysmic event. Is Bitcoin a revolution or a trap? David Gurwitz of Charles Nenner Research will update us on Nenner’s latest views on the gold and silver markets and Gene Epstein will talk about how markets will overcome the albatrosses imposed on the medical profession by Obamacare and previous anti-free market provisions. 2014 may be shaping up as a monster year for gold shares and your host will have a name or two to watch out for.

Michael Oliver, Dan Oliver, Daniel McAdams and Ron Perry return. The Fed has insisted it has the legal right to “manage” the gold markets but has always denied doing so. But now a German regulator investigates a gold and currency scandal that he calls bigger than the LIBOR market manipulation.” Ultimately truth overpowers market-defying criminals but regarding gold, are we there yet? When truth prevails, how can we profit from that virtuous turn of events? In terms of timing, Michael will provide his unique but prescient insights and Dan will talk about the kind of junior mining companies that can lead to the biggest profits. One of those might just be Ron’s Metanor Resources, now in commercial production. There is always a link between gold manipulation and America’s military killing machine. Daniel will talk about the Neocons’ latest efforts to take over the world. Also your host will talk of some exciting penny gold stocks just starting to make big percentage moves higher.

Prof. John P. Cochran and Dr. Lee Wilson visit for the first time. John Rubino returns. Cochran will explain how Keynes' anti-free market interest rates are destroying life sustaining capitalism. To enable Keynesian interest rate policies and deficit spending, the free market for gold had to be destroyed so it would not constrict money printing and deficit spending stimulation advocated by Keynes. Serving to keep the masses disinterested in gold, bullion banks have manipulated the gold price downward with longer term disastrous results. But the current gold bear market will not last forever. John Rubino will explain why the gold manipulation scheme is about to fail and why gold will soon become much more expensive. Dr. Lee Wilson will talk about an exciting water purification technology that appears commercially viable despite that company's penny share price status. Your host will talk of some of his favorite gold stocks for 2014 and why now may be the best time to buy them.

Dr. Mark Thornton, an Austrian economist with the Mises Institute, visits for the first time. John Williams and Daniel McAdams return. Williams has issued his latest annual warning of hyperinflation. He thinks that starting this year, the money printing virus inflicted on us by policy makers will manifest itself through an inflation problem much worse than that of the 1970s. From his Austrian economic perspective, how does Dr. Thornton think the massive printing press virus will be resolved? With our money being debt based since 1971, could deflation thinkers like Robert Prechter be right in predicting a sub 1000 Dow, consumer price deflation and a “strong” dollar? Daniel McAdams will join us to talk about the latest war mongering Neocon efforts to parasitically enrich themselves through the ravages of war financed, of course, by money printing. Time permitting, your host will share his views on the markets and discuss how his newsletter model portfolio is performing thus far in 2014.

Fund manager Dan Oliver and technical analyst J. Michael Oliver appear for the first time. Bill Laggner returns during the second hour at JayTaylorMedia.com. After 10 years of higher prices, gold fell 28% in 2013. So is the bull market over or just pausing? What about gold stocks? Oliver who manages a gold mining fund will present some well thought out answers to those questions and more. How will debt, equity and currency markets fare in 2014 compared to gold? What are prospects for another up year in U.S. stocks and U.S. Treasuries? Is that 30+ yr. bull market over? Fund manager Laggner will present his opinions and talk about the major themes he sees in 2014, one of which is a major bull market in gold shares. We will ask him to justify that statement in light of horrible 2012 and 2013 for gold shares. J. Michael Oliver will provide his views on these markets as a technical analyst. Chen Lin will join me to talk about his views on the markets and discuss his concerns about China.

Dimitri Speck visits for the first time. John Rubino, Gene Epstein and Daniel McAdams return. Speck’s book “The Gold Cartel” explains how the Feds are manipulating the gold price to continue conning Americans into accepting dollars. We will ask him to give us his best proof that gold is a massively manipulated market and why it should matter to the masses of people. Are there signs that gold manipulation will again contribute to destabilizing markets? And when the market implodes the next time, will gold play a role in the establishment of a new monetary regime? Or will bitcoin replace the dollar? We will ask John about his views on that topic as well as how he sees markets shaping up in 2014. Gene will preview the next Junto meeting and its topic, the emerging catastrophic health care system. And Daniel McAdams will update us on how the Neocons are attempting to foster corporate welfare by engaging Americans in the next bloody war.

David Gurwitz, Daniel McAdams, Paul Yusem and David Cole return. Daniel McAdams will review the activities of America’s military industrial complex and how Snowden's revelations of NSA spying on Americans and foreign leaders may impact American foreign policy, not to mention the hope of restoring civil liberties in the U.S. To what extent are gold and silver market manipulations being carried out now? And to the extent that this is taking place, how related is it to the American military industrial complex that Eisenhower warned us about? From theory to the practical, David Cole, of Eurasian Minerals, will update us on a huge and exciting copper-gold prospect joint venture with Freeport McMoRan. Will gold's secular bull market run return in 2014? For an answer to that question and more about stocks, bonds, and precious metals, David Gurwitz will hopefully spill a few of the great Charles Nenner's secrets. And your host will talk about his strategies for 2014.

Jeff Siegel visits for the first time. Ian Gordon, Bruce Bragagnolo and Daniel McAdams return. Gordon believes the U.S. is facing a debt deflationary future that will result in a slowdown of economic activity that will make the 1930s event look like child’s play. In the past he has predicted a DJIA 1,000 and a gold price of $4,000. How far are we into the K Winter and what will it mean for gold and gold share investing? Braganolo, the CEO of Timmins Gold will talk of the upside potential for his profitable gold mining firm operating in Mexico where it is producing over 100,000 oz. of gold annually. Does Jeff Siegel see a deflationary or inflationary economic future or a Goldilocks economy? In either event, what will it mean for energy prices? We'll ask him the best place to make money in the energy sector in 2014. Energy is always a big part of geopolitics. Daniel of the Ron Paul Institute for Peace and Prosperity will be back to discuss the latest conflicts in the Middle East.

David Hunt visits for the first time. Doug Groh, Greg Johnson and Jeff Deist return. While free market advocates feel harmed and often sorry for ourselves because of injuries caused by government intervention, David's amazing story should put any of us with self pity to shame. Hunt has been blind since the 1980s, but that has not stopped him from becoming a widely celebrated winemaker, accomplished musician, lyricist, author, successful entrepreneur, investor, pioneer “smart homes,” carpenter, and recording artist. Compared to David’s handicap, we gold bugs should be ashamed of our self pity. To help us figure out on how to profit from a depressed gold market, Doug Grogh of the Toqueville Gold Fund, will join me. And Gregg Johnson, CEO of Prophecy Platinum, will address some issues recently raised on this show by B. Cook, J. Kaiser and E.Coffin about the Wellgreen PGM deposit. Jeff Deist will round out this show of hope as he talks of his new role in leading the Mises Institute.

Clark Neily and Robert Giustra visit for the first time. Peter Grandich returns. Clark Neily, author of “Terms of Engagement: How Our Courts Should Enforce the Constitution’s Promise of Limited Government will tell how government is removing liberty, property rights, school choice, First Amendment, and other constitutional rights. We will ask how we might retrieve those lost rights. But does he understand the need to restore honest money if we ever hope to regain our American birthrights? The debasement of our monetary system is not only funding government power and abuse, but along with corporate domination of our legislative body, it is destroying our economy. In light of massive economic problems, we will ask Peter Grandich how he thinks we should invest our savings these days. And, I will talk to Robert Giustra, CEO of Columbus Gold a company selling for pennies but now set to become a significant player in a multi-million oz. gold deposit in French Guiana.

Professor Murray Sabrin visits for the first time. Chris Powell and James Turk revisit. Dr. Sabrin will talk about his film documentary on the Fed’s 100-year anniversary and his upcoming book titled “Ask Me About My Ponzi Scheme: Deceit and Deception from Woodrow Wilson to Barack Obama.” We will play a very insightful interview of GATA’s Treasurer Chris Powell by James Turk that provides great insights into WHY the Fed and their proxy banks are manipulating the gold markets. As Sabrin will explain, the Fed was created to privatize gains for the bankers and to protect them from losses by sticking taxpayers with a future of poverty and servitude as demonstrated by bank bailouts following the 2008 Lehman Brothers’ failure. The Wm. Jennings Bryan’s “Cross of Gold” speech and J.F.K’s Secret Society speech, both of which warned of elitist manipulation of average Americans will also be played. Next week Peter Grandich will offers some ideas how average Americans can cope.
