Turning Hard Times Into Good Times

David Stockman, Michael Oliver and Eric Coffin return. No senior advisor to a U.S. President was more honest, forthright than David Stockman. In 1981 when the Federal debt was less than $1 trillion, he told President Reagan that he had to cut spending to pay for tax cuts because supply side economics would not generate enough additional income to fill the spending gap. Now with the debt at over $20 trillion and exploding higher under Trump, we know David was right. With the Japanese and Chinese disappearing as Treasury buyers, the Bond Vigilantes have returned to reconcile political myth with economic reality. In order to pay for our past sins, interest rates must rise dramatically higher. The impact of rising interest rates on the markets will be the major topic of discussion with all three guests, while Eric will also discuss some of his most exciting gold exploration stocks and Michael will share his thoughts about when gold shares will catch up with the rising gold price.
