Turning Hard Times Into Good Times

John Rubino and Michael Oliver return. Whether the Fed believes that the economy is getting better and thus rates must begin to rise, or if rates are rising from an absence of buyers of U.S. Treasuries, it seems the Federal Reserve is determined to raise rates and potentially very aggressively. While President Trump criticized the Fed for keeping rates excessively low for an excessively long time during the campaign, his campaign to bring jobs back to America will not work with high rates generating a strong dollar. It seems inevitable that a war between the President and the Fed will break out in the near future. The important question is who will win that battle because it will have a lot to do with what kind of investments we want to own in the future. We will seek the insights of both guests on that and many other related questions. Your host expects to comment on some of his favorite gold mining stocks, including some of those that are sponsors for this show.
