Turning Hard Times Into Good Times

David Skarika and Florian Siegfried pose differing economic views, but both are unequivocal believers that you must own gold to preserve wealth in a crumbling economy. Skarika sees inflation as cyclically inevitable. Siegfried sees the potential for a credit implosion to lead to massive overall price declines. Skarica will share his inflationary cycle views from his new book, “The Great Super Cycle” during the first half of our three-hour show. Then later, the highly successful Swiss-based gold fund manager Siegfried will talk about his deflationary views and how best to prepare for the damage collapsing prices may have on those not ready for that scenario. Both Skarika and Siegfried will be asked for some investment ideas. Also on next week’s show, on our quest to turn hard times into good times, I will talk about some of the exciting companies I just filmed in Vancouver this past weekend. One is a gold company. Another a copper company and a third one is a specialty metals company.

Ron Paul, Robert Prechter, Ian Gordon, Bob Hoye, John Williams, Larry Parks and Eric Sprott provide insights into the global economic malaise. All offer some hope for YOU, IF you can see through the deceit of policymakers. Paul and Parks explain that defiance of the Constitution's requirement to use gold and silver as money is leading to economic ruination. Prechter, Gordon and Hoye warn of a very severe deflationary future. Hoye believes the markets will require policymakers return to a gold-based currency. But Williams makes a strong case for hyper inflation in a debate with Bob Hoye. Paul and Parks also warn of inflation. Investor Eric Sprott is not as sure as some of this week’s other guests on the inflation/deflation issue but he, like all the other guests, is absolutely sure gold and silver are essential to preserving wealth. Eric makes a very strong case for silver outperforming gold. Jay Taylor's severe cold prompted a replay of the above noted guests this week.

Claus Vogt is a contrarian investor. We may sleep better at night when our views agree with the majority. But when the majority opinion is wrong it can be disastrous for you. Claus Vogt has identified a host of reasons why the stock market will decline big time this year. He has also provided three danger signs. But Claus has some ways in which you can protect your wealth and actually gain from the impending decline. We will also delve into his new book, The Global Debt Trap. How will this crisis eventually end? Will it be through the flames of hyper inflation as prior guests on this show like Marc Faber, Ron Paul and John Williams think? Or will it be through a deflationary cleansing like Robert Prechter, Ian Gordon and Mish Shedlock assume. Also joining us this week will be Robert Blumen who will explain why paying attention to new gold mine supply is a waste of time in predicting the gold price. We will also talk to the CEO of an exciting uranium exploration company.

Doug Casey is a brilliant, creative thinker who understands how the government’s stupidity wrecks lives and liberty. The Founding Fathers of our Republic knew that the best government is the least government. Like your host, Doug was a young man when the last bull market in gold registered a seismic reading 6.0 on the economic Richter scale. The global monetary earthquake of the late 1970s sent gold to $850 by 1980 and shook some sense in the Fed to put in place policies that forced Americans to save more and spend less. Those sensible policies bought more time for our Republic. But without a gold-backed monetary system, those lessons were quickly forgotten. Now, a 9.0 or even a 9.9 monetary earthquake threatens the very existence of our global fiat currency system. When the system comes tumbling down, where can we hide to save our lives and retain life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness? Mr. Casey will offer some solutions that you can’t afford to miss.

Ian Gordon believes there is a 20% chance of a total seize up of the global financial system during 2011. He is certain current Fed policy will fail now just as it did during the 1930s to avoid another Great Depression. Why has the Fed continued to carry out policies that failed during the last major deflationary event? Perhaps it’s because those same policies did appear to work during the spring, summer and fall seasons of the 60-to-70 year Kondratieff cycle. It worked every time under Alan Greenspan’s watch. But Greenspan never faced the bursting of a credit bubble. That happened under Bernanke. No Federal Reserve Chairman has been challenged with a financial problem of this magnitude since the 1930s. Indeed, the problems confronting the Federal Reserve after the stock market crash in 1929 were rather minor compared to what not only faces the Fed now, but the entire global banking system. Ian will suggest what you can do to prepare for this impending calamity.

Adrian Salbuchi returns as our special guest to discuss the plans of enslavement the ruling elite have for all of us mere mortals. Who are these people who think they have the wisdom of God to rule over our lives? To what extent is our democracy a reality? What are the historical lies used to dominate and control us in an unending war of propaganda spouted to the populace via corporate-owned media? How will areas rich in resources like Patagonia in Argentina be taken by the ruling elite? Is the ruling elite ushering in an economic catastrophe that will enable them to totally rule over us? What will the U.S. dollar look like after the impending global economic destruction? Might it be gold backed? Salbuchi will tell us how the debt model works and how you can beat it. He will also provide some ideas about how we, common ordinary people, can work together to counter these elitist trends.

Frank Holmes heads U.S. Global Investors, which manages a diverse group of funds that includes precious metals and commodities funds. No other investment pro has been more focused on our rapidly changing world and how to profit from those changes than Frank Holmes. Not only is income shifting from the West to the lesser developed countries, but lesser developed countries have a rapidly growing middle class and surging population. How will these changes impact your investments? How will monetary policy impact commodity prices? How will increased regulation in western countries impact corporate profits and business growth going forward? What about currentl low interest rates? How long will low rates last? What will happen if China and other creditor nations abandon the dollar? What does a rising middle class in China mean for gold prices and for commodity prices in general? Most importantly, how can YOU profit from the insights of Frank Holmes. Be sure to listen this week.

Lt. General William G. Boykin is a Green Beret and a student of Marxism. He will explain that the U.S did not in fact win the Cold War. We may have won a battle. But the Marxist Communist model is now taking over America. America's march towards communism is in place: 1) Nationalization of major industries (banks), 2) Redistribution of wealth on many and growing fronts, 3) Lies and propaganda against traditional values, 4) Censorship (think hate crime legislation), 5) Outlawing of gun ownership, and 6) Establishment of a constabulary police force. All steps are now in place to move America into a total police state. What can be done to stop this trend? Or is it too late? As long as private ownership of gold is allowed, we can take steps to preserve our wealth. But communism will seek to redistribute all personal property. So how do we survive on subsistence wages? Our second guest, Danny Kofke may have some ideas about this when he talks about how to survive on a teacher’s salary.

The Belarus Secret written by John J. Loftus won the CBS 60 Minutes Show an Emmy award. Thanks to an expired statute of limitations on information suppression, new data has emerged that shows how the U.S. Department of Justice obstructed Congress by: blocking congressional investigations into famous American families who funded Hitler, Stalin and Arab terrorists; lying to Congress, the GAO and the CIA about the postwar Immigration of Eastern European Nazi War Criminals to the US; and concealing from the 9/11 investigators the role of the Arab Nazi War Criminals in recruiting modern Middle Eastern terrorists groups. Loftus maintains that the suppression of the wealth quantification metals (gold and silver) is a key enabler of secret evils and unconstitutional behavior carried out by the justice department on behalf of those who really own and control America. You can't afford to miss this show, which further supports the work of Griffin, Estulin, Salbuchi and other past guests.

Adrian Day is our special guest this week. With high growth rates in emerging market countries like China, India and other highly populated, underdeveloped countries, billions of people who have been living in poverty are now aspiring for middle class comforts that require huge amount of energy consumption. Likewise large amounts of metals and materials are also required to provide transportation and appliances. At the same time, the world is awash in debt, which threatens us with the potential for massive credit deflation, continuing high levels of unemployment and decreased incomes for people living in the Western world. On balance, will these counter trends offset one another? Or will growth in the underdeveloped world continue to overwhelm a declining western economy causing not only metals prices but also food prices to boom? Mr. Day's book, Investing in Resources, will help us learn how to profit from these trends without encumbering ourselves with too much risk.

Roger S. Conrad provides hope for people living on fixed incomes at a time when government policy is robbing savers and rewarding bankers and others engaging in reckless behavior. How can retired folks live on their savings when 0% is the going interest rate on “safe” government debt and when the purchasing power of social security continues to decline? Our guest this week, Roger S. Conrad, an analyst of all manner of utility stocks and Canadian income trusts, will provide some excellent ideas about which utility stocks can provide you with life sustaining income and do so with relative safety. How do 3% to 10% yields sound at a time when the insanity of Quantitative Easing is driving Treasury yields to near zero? Is it possible to get reasonable yields without risking the chance that you could lose a major portion or all of your savings? If you are retired or nearing that time, you won’t want to miss Roger Conrad's practical guide to financial survival.

Investor extraordinaire Eric Sprott and Dr. Larry Parks are this week’s special guests. Dr. Parks leads off with a discussion on the U.S. Constitutional framework for gold and silver as money. He discusses how the use of fiat money to replace gold and silver has led to massive financial problems but more importantly to social injustice and untold riches for the banks, who now control our political and economic system. Eric Sprott provides evidence that our financial system is bankrupt and that gold and silver values are heading for the moon relative to increasingly worthless paper money. Eric is even more bullish on silver than gold although he is unwavering in his view that gold prices will rise dramatically in the years to come. He agrees with Dr. Parks in noting that only a relative few investors have yet purchased gold and silver. As such the bull market in the precious metals is still quite young.

Wendell Cox is our special guest. Official data show that people are moving out of some of the largest metropolitan areas, such as New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Chicago. At the same time, residents of these areas are moving to Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston and Atlanta and many smaller areas. A principal cause is so-called smart growth policies that have destroyed the American Dream for many Americans by driving house prices up astronomically. Wendell will show that some of the nation's metropolitan areas have chosen a less competitive and slower growth future for their citizens. Not such smart growth policies in some of the larger cities like New York and San Francisco where labor unions have exercised enormous power to the point of forcing governments to the edge of bankruptcy, which may be another reason for the internal migration of Americans. Joe Eskenazi will talk about San Francisco’s financial disaster.

Attorney, Bill Rounds explains how to legally preserve your identity, private property and economic freedom in the midst of a growing fascist economic system in America. Yes, we are making a lot of money these days in gold. But can we keep it when gold owners are virtually the only people with any wealth left to their name? What will keep government from taxing it away? Any protection from that? Bill does not condone hiding from moral or legal responsibilities. He is about how to legally preserve your life, liberty and property as intended by our Founding Fathers. Some people want to be seen. Others want to fly under the radar. Most of us want a little bit of both. The real issue that most people have in the fight between public and private personal information is control over who has access to what information. We want the ability to reach out to the public at times, and at other times retreat into our sanctuary. Retreating is more and more difficult in a digital world.

David Franklin will help us understand whether we might do well to question some of the mainstream promises of folks like Bernanke, Geithner, Obama and their Wall Street cronies. As Ian McAvity recently pointed out, “From one side of the valley to the other (Jun’10 vs. Jun’08), GDP added $103 billion but Federal State & Local Governments added $3.5 trillion in debt, equal to $23k per member of the civilian labor force, working or not, lifting their share of debt to $72k/person.” From the post Lehman Brothers collapse of 2008, the equity markets have roared back, causing a rising tide of optimism in the markets once again. The risk trade is back. It feels once again like you can’t lose money in stocks. But what about that debt Mr. McAvity is talking about? What will that mean for the economy and ultimately the equity markets? We will ask our guest for some ideas along those lines as well as where he and the folks at Sprott are telling their clients to put their money.
