Legendary investor Frank Holmes joined us today. AS head of US Global Investors, you can always count on Frank to be ahead of the trend. His latest venture Hive Blockchain Technologies is no exception. It's on the cutting edge of the blockchain, mining a host of crypto-currencies from it's low cost center in Iceland. There they get cut rate electricity, among the cheapest rates in the world, along with extremely low cooling costs to keep the mining rigs from overheating. It's an ideal climate for mining and the company is expecting huge returns. The prodigies running partner Genesis built an amazing company without resorting to debt and now it's on to the next phase. It could be the best way to play Cryptos without having to figure out which one will rise fastest. Especially since they'll soon be mining Bitcoin. And they get a premium for their virgin coins, since there's no worry about their origins. All in all, seems like our sponsor Hive (TSX.V HIVE, OTC PRELF) is in the right place at the right time. 

Looking at Bitcoin, remember that if we have learned anything since the crash, the elites will not go quietly into the dark. They're going to fight it with everything they have, including criminalization, super high taxes and criminal sanctions. Are you ready to go to prison for possession of Bitcoin with intent to distribute? I know I'm not. 

Part 2 of the MSM meltdown and the NFL continues. Every time you look it just keeps getting worse for the media and the NFL. Trump's enemies just won't admit what's really going on here. Rather they blame it the concussion revelations and Joe Sixpack's desire to spend more time with his family. Who are we kidding here? Only themselves. 

All bubbles work exactly the same way. There's always a rationalization why this time is different. So far in history, this time has never been different. Will it be now? The odds are against it, but you never know. That's why if you're sitting on huge paper profits it's a good time to consider making them real. Not all, but perhaps a meaningful amount. Remember all those dot com/dot bomb billionaires. They can now be found in some of the trendiest restaurants, waiting tables. 

New York Times bestselling author and Pulitzer Prize winning newspaper columnist Ellis Henican has covered President Trump from his boy-developer days in New York City to the present day. Henican's latest book "Trumpitude: The Secret Confessions of Donald's Brain" is a cheat sheet to the inside of the president's brain. It reveals what Donald Trump is really thinking, whether he knows it or not. It is packed with his own advice on how to be more Trumpian.

Gregor will be launching Physical Crypto Storage through his company, Silver Bullion. Just as the company has secured physical precious metals for customers over the years, it will also be storing cryptocurrencies in a physical format in its Singapore Vault.

They will be encrypting the private keys of cryptocurrencies and laser etching the encrypted key on a physical card for storage. Take a look at explanatory video and whitepaper for download here => https://www.thesafehouse.sg/physical-crypto-storage.

The latest COT (Commitment of Traders) Report shows the Commercial Shorts lightening and switching to long. And it shows the Speculators giving up their longs. This could be good news for precious metals in the coming months. While the economic news appears to be positive, there's a lot of dark clouds and black swans circling. Terrorism, North Korea, etc., etc. Time to be looking at a Plan B. 

What do college students really learn these days? Answer, not much according to David Horowitz. They're indoctrinated in anti-American, anti-Capitalism among other things. What value does a degree in Women's Studies really have? Or any other degree with an "ism" attached. Not much according to David. It all goes back to Vietnam and the desire by many to avoid the draft. Now they're the ones teaching at our colleges. 

Adam Mesh is the first to say that he doesn't understand Bitcoin. Join the club! However, he does understand markets and trading, that's what he does. While he has no idea whether Bitcoin will go to $1 or to $1 million, he sees many opportunities in trading. And as far as Bitcoin futures are concerned, Adam says, "How could anyone go to bead at nigh holding a Bitcoin futures position?"

According to Harlan Ullman, the tax bill pending before congress now is a loser. It won't accomplish what it's setting out to do and will not right our listing economy. It will just result in more bonuses and stock buybacks.  Rather Harlan believes we need a huge infrastructure bill, by forcing repatriation of overseas corporate profits into an infrastructure bank to get the country going again.

Andy Schectman runs one of the most trusted companies in the bullion space. He's confident that the numerous anomalies popping up in the metals markets spell big profits down the road. Things like Palladium selling for more than Platinum. Numistmatic coins selling at par to bullion. And many others. Markets tend to normalize over time and that means profits will result. 

Bix Weir has many non-traditional views about many topics. And often he's right. Now he believes that the sex scandals are about to really hit the fan. What we've been seeing is just a foreshadowing of what's really about to happen. There have been many rumors and who knows, they could all be true. 

Cryptos are going much higher and will save man from a global economic apocalypse. That's why Venezuela is about to go full crypto at least as far as their currency is concerned. Will it make a difference? 

According to Lew Weiss, manufacturing makes up 20-percent of the nation's GDP. In many ways it is the engine that drives the economy. So, it is with concern, that manufacturers watch the new tax overhaul bill making its way through Congress.

"This is a tax overhaul measure that is being change almost on a daily basis and we want to make sure Congress knows we need further incentives to grow and protect our industry," says the co-host of 'Manufacturing Talk Radio' and CEO of All Metals & Forge in NJ Lew Weiss (see short bio below).

Key Senators from Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Oregon have expressed concern tax reform could chop away at manufacturing incentives and further weaken the industry. They have made clear current tax incentives, which could be eliminated, are vital to job creation.

"Congress needs to understand that our industry is quickly evolving and only protections and incentives can keep it moving in the right direction," says Weiss.

John looks for the little things to get an idea of where the economy and by extension the markets are headed. Right now RV sales are through the roof. But that's not necessarily a good thing. RV sales usually pop at the end of a market run up. People are feeling good with money in their pockets and they splurge. And what better toy than an RV, at least to some? Will this time be different or will the RV indicator kick into high gear and show us what this economy is all about?

According to Craig Hemke, the only trade you need to watch is the Dollar-Yen. As long as the Dollar stays strong, gold and metals are going nowhere. Craig, a/k/a Turd Ferguson made this startling discovery several years ago. And it has predicted gold prices like a charm. Nothing else in the world seems to matter these days. Whether it be North Korean missile tests, higher debt and deficits, scandals or anything else for that matter, gold is trapped by algorithms and will stay that way until it doesn't. How long is anyone's guess. 

Naresh Vissa is a long time friend of the show. He's written a new book, TrumpBook: How Digital Liberals Silenced A Nation Into Making America Hate Again. It's an interesting look at why Donald Trump won the presidency and how liberals are making hate great again. Naresh does a number of verbatim compilations of people blaming Trump for the damnedest things. Like their headache, flu, the weather and many more things he has absolutely no control over. It's entertaining and at the same time very disturbing, but definitely worth a read.

John LeBoutillier as a former congressman is only too aware of the goings on in swap. Now, scarcely a day goes by without someone on Capitol Hill being unmasked. You can expect more of the same for the indefinite future, no doubt. 

Who's running the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), a governmental entity that should not exist? Well the court has now decided and we'll have to wait for the appeals, but our money is on Trump's appointee. 

Though Mosher believes President Trump is doing an incredible job dealing with China—and it’s tributary state, North Korea—he say’s there is still much to fear.

In his eye opening new book, Bully of Asia: Why China’s Dream is the New Threat to World Order, Mosher exposes Chinese president Xi Jinping’s dreams of overturning the current U.S.-led world order and replacing it with one dominated by China. He argues that now, more than ever, U.S. foreign policy must be consistently and resolutely directed at curbing the power-hungry People’s Republic of China.

Todd Bubba Horwitz is concerned about the country's future. There's no longer good paying jobs for the middle class. And Trump has been stymied at every turn. Unless the country gets its act together, there's major trouble ahead. Bubba's been doing his show for years and knows that the Austrian way is best, but who's listening? 

To Daniel Greenfield it's very clear, the democrats have not rediscovered morality, but rather their apparent desire to banish the Clintons is all about political self-interest. The Clintons are yesterday's news and they are holding the party back. So now is a very convenient time to be outraged over Bill's treatment of the fairer sex. But don't believe it, the party could care less.

And if you're a liberal who needs a safe space, there will soon be a hotel in Washington DC catering to your sensibilities. Owned by liberals, for liberals with a completely liberal staff. Talk about an echo chamber.
