Turning Hard Times Into Good Times

Chris Mayer appears for the first time and Axel Merk returns. The ruling elite indoctrinated by Keynes have declared the gold standard “barbaric.” That group of arrogant, self-appointed geniuses has without a doubt destroyed free markets and the American middle class, but the stock and bond markets continue to make new highs despite an economy that remains in the pits. Why are markets not responding as “they should?” Why, for example, has Quantitative Easing not stimulated economic growth? And why, do stocks and bonds continue to rise if the underlying economy remains in the doldrums? Will the ruling elite be able to continue wrestling wealth from the middle class into their own pockets? Or will nature’s laws ultimately prevail with Wall Street thieves getting their comeuppance? We will seek answers to those questions. Then we will ask both Axel and Chris for investment ideas to cope with their future prognostications.
