The Fed has created a mountain of problems. Every solution (of theirs) leads to even more problems. Ron Paul talks about the what the Fed has done, how it tries to keep things going, and the inevitable economic crisis that is coming.
London Analyst Alasdair MacLeod also tells Silver Doctors China's trade, not America’s, is now driving the global economy. He explains the impact this is having on the U.S. dollar.
As the U.S. dollar declines, gold and silver will rise, MacLeod says. He says optimism about the economy is a sign the last phase of the credit cycle has arrived.
Will the coming crisis be worse that 2008? He believes this crisis will be different, with possible bail-ins in the Eurozone. How should people protect against wealth confiscation?
John Rubino discusses how the Bond Vigilantes are enforcing a reconciliation of political myth with economic reality and what this means for stocks, bonds, commodities and precious metals.
William Engdahl discusses the rising economic status of China, Russia, India and other “rogue” nations and why they are now a threat to the U.S. dollar.
Will the dollar survive this global shift in economic power, or will it collapse, falling as all other fiat currencies before it have?
Fred Hickey, frequent cited expert on Bloomberg News and Barron's Roundtable, has been publishing his author extremely well-respected investment newsletter, The High-Tech Strategist, for 31 years. And he is more worried about the state of the financial markets today than he's ever been.
While his primary focus has been on analyzing Tech stocks, over the years he has expanded into macro trend analysis as the central banks starting increasingly intervening in world markets and distorting the price of money. He now finds asset prices dangerously overvalued (within Tech and without) and worries -- as we do -- about the risk of a major market correction and possible currency crises.
Ironically, this lifelong expert in "all things technology" has concluded that gold (the "barbaric relic") is the sanest asset to put one's capital in these days -- both due to its safety factor and it's current level of undervaluation.
He expects the precious metals to fare well during the downward market volatility he foresees, and he is now tracking the mining stocks closely as he predicts they will experience dramatic appreciation from here.
This week Doug Noland joins the podcast to discuss what he refers to as the "granddaddy of all bubbles".
Noland, a 30-year market analyst and specialist in credit cycles, currently works at McAlvany Wealth Management and is well known for his prior 16-year stint helping manage the Prudent Bear Fund.
He certainly shares our views that prices in nearly every financial asset class have become remarkably distorted due to central bank intervention, first with Greenspan's actions to backstop the markets in the late-1980's, and more recently (and more egregiously) with the combined central banking cartel's massive and sustained liquidity injections in the years following the Great Financial Crisis.
If you have a problem then you have a solution, otherwise you're just fussing about the situation. Well, that may be true in most cases, but when we are discussing rigged markets and crony capitalism the solutions can sometimes be evasive.
They do exist, it's just a question of getting to them and bringing them to life. After swimming in the problem, as most of us have been doing for the past several years, it is always refreshing to look at some of the solutions to the collapsing economy and unfolding totalitarian state.
Never have we seen the Dow drop more than 1000 points, and now we’ve seen it happen twice in this week. But stocks are still extremely overvalued, Fund Manager David Kranzler tells Silver Doctors.
"The stock market could get cut in half and it would still be overvalued." Volatility spiked this week. The VIX is the highest it's been since 2011. The Dow is down 10 percent from it’s high, but will it drop further? Kranzler says he would not be surprised if stocks fell another 50 percent.
President Trump, white knight patriots in the military and Q VS the deep state, Clinton-DNC-FBI-DOJ which have been exposed fortheir collusion and treachery. Which in turn has caused the media and the Traitors to double down on their crimes and the cover up. It has never been more clear that we ARE AT WAR with these monsters, and the revolution is NOW. Frank from the Quite Frankly podcast joins me to discuss.
The Dow suffered its worst point decline ever Monday. Jim Willie tells us this stock market carnage is nothing compared to what is to come…
Jim Willie is back and he's not pulling any punches. Jim says, right off the bat, that we now have the makings of a major financial crisis, just like Jim has been predicting for years now.
It's finally turning into the systemic event that Jim forecasts. Jim says this is the year we're going to finally see systemic events such as sovereign debt defaults bank system failures.
After a week wherein Bitcoin went from above $9,000 (after topping $20,000 two months previous) to below $6,000, little argument needs to be made that volatility alone is a steel-trap argument against owning the cryptocurrency as a long-term value-store hedge against the stock market.
And there are, of course, many more basic and fundamental reasons why gold is the singular historical (ahem) gold standard when it comes to ensuring held value over time. Can you name any alternative stores of value that were in vogue 1,000 years ago? How have they held up, if so?
It is universally accepted as a global and long-term store of value and one that doesn’t demand a password when you want to dig it out from under your bed. It’s pretty; it’s useful; it’s really hard to fake; it’s easy to change into a fractional currency; and, crucially, it has history. An ounce of gold has, give or take, hung on to its purchasing power for thousands of years.
I’d be surprised if anyone was saying that about bitcoin in 4018. I hold gold as a hedge against shocks and in particular against inflation, precisely because gold is old.
When looking at gold as an investment and a long-term store of value, one tends to focus on other the behavior of other gold investors, increasing federal government reserves, investment bank warehouse holdings, etc. But one of the beauties of gold is that there is a great deal of consumer demand for it, too. One of the beauties of gold is the beauty of gold.
Nowhere is this demand so pronounced as it is in China. And it is rising, especially among young consumers.
Wang Lixin, managing director of the WGC in China, said that annual demand in China last year was 8 percent higher than in 2016, comfortably above its five-year average of 284.8 tons.
"Looking at jewelry demand, China's 6 percent growth year-on-year in the sector in the fourth quarter heavily contributed to a 3 percent rise in annual jewelry demand－the first yearly increase since 2013," Wang said.
Leading global investment bank, GoldmanSachs analysts cite global higher inflation, weaker dollar, rising oil prices as well as a hedge against stock market loses will help boost gold prices overall.
Goldman Sachs raised its gold price forecasts this Thursday. The investment firm now anticipates the price of precious metal at $1,350, $1,375, and $1,450/oz over the three, six and twelve months period respectively as against previous forecast of $1,225, $1,200, and $1,225/oz.
The FISA memo has been released and it PROVES the deep state coup attempts of hardcore TRAITORS within the DNC, FBI, DOJ, and yes - even some within the GOP.
Financial writer and precious metals expert Craig Hemke thinks commodities are undervalued and cheap relative to stocks, which just had the biggest one day sell-off in years. Hemke contends, “$15 trillion worth of QE has been applied, $15 trillion worth of currency created in the last 8 years.
So, there are trillions and trillions of dollars that are sloshing around the planet, and when they all head in one direction, you get things like Bitcoin.
If all of this money starts to head into commodities due to a falling dollar and recognition of inflation, commodities are going up, as is crude, as is silver & gold. I think it would be wise of people to position themselves ahead of it. The commodities sector will rebound on the sinking dollar.”
Author of “The Trump Prophecies,” Mark Taylor, says, “God’s hand is upon Donald Trump. He has been anointed by God to do a specific work. Everyone who touches him has fallen by the wayside. You will see it again.
You cannot touch God’s anointed and get away with it. You are going to see these people go down left and right. The biggest thing I want to leave people with right now in closing is the prophecy that I just got talks about God’s hand is on America, and these things must come to pass. We are going to cross a threshold where we have never been before in the history of our country with all this corruption globally, and it’s going to come down. It’s not a time to be in fear. Get that fear dog off of you, and start feeding the good news dog.
Have faith that God is in control, and America is going to be a better place when this stuff has been purged of all this corruption. There is going to be a lot of job openings coming up.
If God calls you to a position, you need to take your rightful place and make a decision that you are going to step into a roll of leadership. God is looking for his people to take over.”
Gold and silver should be trading at much higher levels when compared with historical prices, said Bill Murphy, Director of the Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee.
“Two of the markets that should be on fire are gold and silver,” Murphy told Kitco News on the sidelines of the Vancouver Resource Investment Conference, “when you look at where we were six, seven years ago, it’s nothing, and silver at $17 [an ounce] is one third of where it was 38 years ago at its high.”
Murphy said that the “gold cartel” is to blame for keeping prices at current levels. “Open interest has gone up at an unprecedented rate in the Comex,” he said, “the gold cartel is doing everything they can do stop the price.”
Murphy said that the precious metals space is going to have a spectacular year, and a lot of money is going to come into the sector.“When [silver] gets above $21 [an ounce], it will actually trade like bitcoin, and it will go bonkers.”
Speaking on bitcoin, Murphy said that bitcoin traders are taking some of their profits and putting them into gold and silver. “Some of that money is already coming back into precious metals,” he said.
We firmly believe, and have stated a number of times, that gold and silver are the only assets that have the fortitude to stand up to governments and banks. These two assets, throughout history, have over and over and over again helped the people to gain wealth, to prosper and to truly innovate new technologies. What has happened over the past 100+ years is our wealth, innovation and sovereignty have been slowly stripped away.
