Erstwhile writer and commentator Lowell Ponte joined the show today to discuss the Republican Victory and what if any effect it will have in making your bank account any safer. Lowell believes it will have no effect, as he thinks the President will continue his agenda for reshaping the electorate and trying to make the nation into a socialist paradise. Keep your eye on the ball and get Lowell's free book, it's a must read.

Mickey Fulp joined us for the October major monthly market review. Virtually every market, besides Wall Street, was resoundingly down. Precious metals were slaughtered, both WTI and Brent Crude-hammered, Uranium up a bit. Bitcoin keeps going down. The key is that the US Dollar, for whatever reason keeps going up, which led the yield on the 10 year to go down to 2.35. The Euro has been slammed and it's long term viability is again in question. The volatility trend from September continued on through October and if the first few days of November are any indication, it's got a lot longer to go.

New guest on the show John R. Lott, famed author of More Guns Less Crime, joined us today. We discussed America's plunging violent crime rate. Most people are unaware that violent crime started dropping precipitously in 1991. Not coincidentally, gun ownership has increased dramatically since that time. It will be interesting to see if the Illinois crime rate decreases now that concealed carry permits are allowed. John says it's unfortunate that the costs of acquiring one are so high that it will prevent many poor people from going through the process. We also talked about the economic fall-out from the cost of the regulatory burdens imposed by government covered in his book Freedomnomics and what it means to the economy. John is at the forefront of free market thinking in America today.
