Kerry Lutz's--Financial Survival Network (general)

Mike Gazzola has made millions buying and selling foreclosures. He's found a way for anyone, anywhere in the country/world to do it remotely. He likes Florida because their online public records are easily accessible and extremely detailed. He's got a system that makes it simple and it doesn't matter how much money you start with. People are doing it right now as we speak!

Bill Glynn sees unbridled cyber warfare in 2015. The amount of damage that can be inflicted by just one determined hacker is almost incalculable. He believes what was done to Target and Home Depot is just a warm-up act compared to what's going to happen next. The government is going to dump a trillion dollars into the defense sector in an effort to avert this disaster. Will it be enough? 

Danielle joined us after the holiday hiatis. It's amazing how quickly the credit bust is picking up steam. As Danielle has said, "It's like an escalator when it starts up and it becomes an elevator when it goes down." Perhaps it's becoming an out of control elevator, with the trillions in derivatives that are circulating now. The question is when will it reach crisis proportions? Stay tuned to find out!

Telling It Like It Is Tuesday with Andrew Hoffman:

• Gold reaching record highs in most currencies;
• Oil and base metals sinking;
• Most of world's currencies collapsing;
• Silver production will crater as base metal production does;
• We told you so!

Bob Hoye, renowned economic historian, joined us for a review of where we've been in this massive credit boom/bust and where we're going. You'll be surprised at his predictions. Look for more excessive dollar strength, more oil price weakness and look for a dramatic increase in the real price of gold and mining shares. As energy prices crater that's a major boost for the miners. Their margins go way up. Lots more here that you need to hear. 

Tom Cloud our expert on precious metals and diamonds joined us today. We both agree that a perfect storm is forming in the Global Economic System. Crashing oil prices are just one symptom of it. Depressed precious metals prices aren't likely to stay there much longer, especially silver. When things really heat up, prices will quickly rise and supply will fast disappear. All signs seem to be pointing in that direction. That's why preparation is so important. 

Bill and Melinda Gates are finally doing something worthwhile. Wish Bill would invest some energy into Microsoft they can use it. There's a unit coming out that they helped fund that can generate energy and water from feces. It will really help third world countries eliminate disease and improve their water quality. 

Next, why are college students only reading at 7th to 8th grade level. Why is that exceptable? Actually it isn't. Something needs to be done now. Literacy is hanging in the balance. 

Finally, in a direct challenge to Comrade de Blasio, the NYPD has stopped its revenue raising activities. The City is now a better place and there won't be any more Eric Garner incidents either. Everyone wins on this one except the greedy libs who still want an ever larger share of your hard earned dollars. 

Jason Burack gave us his market forecasts for 2015. He sees financial repression lasting well past 2015, which means low interest rates and low returns. The oil implosion has presented a buying opportunity in select energy stocks. You need to find issues with solid cash flow and good hedges. Gold will probably have more of the same as in 2014, but with China, Russia and India still buying and the EU getting very covetous of their reserves, 2015 could be the year. There's plenty more sage advice contained therein for your listening and investing pleasure. 

Former Congressman John Leboutillier is concerned that the leaders of the new Republican Congress are rudderless. They appear to have no vision for leadership and this can't end well. So be prepared to see them manhandled by Obama yet again. 

Next, what happened in Paris can become the norm if the world's governments allow it to become so. John says these Islamists need to be wiped off the face of the Earth. Who can argue with that? 

Finally, Comrade deBlasio is an incompetent boob who will hopefully be a one turn mayor. John says when things are going well the populace gets complacent and elects a liberal just to remind them of what can go wrong, and boy are they getting a major lesson now!

Stefanie O'Connell had a problem, she wanted to pursue an acting career on Broadway and live in Manhattan. Not an easy task when one considers the cost of living. Fed up with babysitting and waiting tables, Stefanie searched for another way. Her journey has bourne fruit. She's now an author, personal finance blogger and her work is found on many well known financial websites. She's grown personally and professionally and she helps others do the same. Not a bad solution to a widespread problem. 

Mickey Fulp and I sat down today for the 3rd Annual Major Market Review. Things really heated up last year in Q4. No doubt you're well aware of the implosion of the energy markets. WTI and Brent Crude were down nearly 1/2. Henry Hub was down 29%. The major stock markets of course were up, as were the USD (13%) and Treasuries. Gold was down just 1.9% but silver was down a whopping 19%. Bitcoin really took a hit at -58% which was down even more than the Euro's 12%. 

Where's it all heading in 2015? Good question and we both have our own opinions on that subject. So listen on and tell us what you think.

Plus, this morning's utter collapse of interest rates and oil - and what it means regardnig the coming "Yellen Reversal."

And oh yeah, gold and silver surging - particularly in Europe and Switzerland where gold jumped above 1,000/oz and 1,200/oz respectively, this morning.

Darryl R. Schoon believes that fiat money and the world financial system is nothing more than a Ponzi Scheme. It's unravelling very quickly and the world's central bankers are extremely frightened. There's nothing they can do to stop the destruction. If there was, they would have done it already. But Darryl says don't despair, this is a good thing. It will allow humanity to develop in a way never before dreamed of. It's an unimagined opportunity for the human race, to be embraced, not feared.

In addition, your family can help you regain your reputation and get back into the world of normalcy. You just have to take the necessary steps. 

Wayne Allyn Root was on with us today. Turns out that the past year was a great one for a select few, those favored by the Obama Admin. But for the rest it was not so great, despite the wonderful sounding statistics that in Wayne's opinion are purely fraudulent. The middle class is getting murdered and it's by design. The big corporations support whatever government helps them get richer. It's a great system for the wealthy. But Wayne's an eternal optimist who believes that we'll even survive Obama. We can only hope that he's right. 

Bill writes, "Whether it is the Elliott Wave Theory, Kondratieff, 17-year cycle, or the Shemitah, 2015 is shaping up to be one for the record books. As much as each Country from the U.S. to Greece, Russia to Malaysia, sees itself as a unique and independent entity the reality is that the world has been united as one big Keynesian experiment."

Social media has taken significant events that normally would be continually discussed, analyzed and even become world altering and reduced them to tweets, blogs and yesterday’s news.

Such as:

• The Hong Kong freedom demonstrations became just another footnote to be lumped with Egypt, Iran and Occupy Wall Street.
• The Ukraine civil war is something most believe has already been settled.
• The U.S. President’s abuse of executive orders continues unabated and the TBTFs (Too Big Too Fails) continue to run amok.  Nothing has been tweeted recently, therefore, out of sight out of mind.
• Saudi Arabia and the U.S. made a deal for the continued bombing of Syria for lower oil prices and the American Shale oil industry is decimated.  Our only reminder is when we fill up our gas tank.
• Cuba continues its Gestapo ways and becomes our newest best friend.  Cigars, of course, are not a continuing story.
• SONY was hacked, says the FBI, by the North Koreans.  A big deal.  American citizens and world leaders are hacked.  Not a big deal.  Either way each is last week’s news.  On to the next.
• Greece can’t elect a President after three bailouts and so a snap election will be held.  European markets shudder, the 1% lose millions, businesses are still closed, youths are still jobless and ordinary citizens still wonder where their next meal will come from.

Another few days and the next crisis will be front and center.

Oil is tanking, gold and silver are getting attacked yet again, what's an investor to do? The dollar is riding high so we don't have to worry about Russia, Greece or the collapse that's taking place in much of the world. Then there's Comrade de Blasio who can't understand how when he was playing with dynamite and matches with his buddy Al Sharpton, it all just blew up in his face. It's amazing that we're dealing with politicians who possess this caliber of stupidity. 

Listen to tonight's Liberty Mastermind Webinar with David Morgan. 

Sandy Botkin, our expert CPA and Tax Attorney tells us the good news in the recently passed tax laws by Congress. Time to buy a truck and write it off. Or, business equipment can also be written off as well. If you're thinking of setting up a corporation, now's the time to do it. You'll be able to sell that company off in the future, tax free if you do it right. There's lot's more goodies, you just have to know where to look, and that's where Sandy excels. 

The Sony-North Korea hack is big news. The damages to Sony are near catastrophic. Movie production was halted and they were unable to make vendor payments. The movie that set it all off, The Interview will not be released in theaters either. Could this just be the beginning? So thinks terrorism expert Jack Duffy. He's concerned that the country and American business aren't ready for what's ahead. He hopes that the Defense Department is gearing up, but one can't be too sure. It all could be part of the new Cold War? 

According to Heather Wagenhals medical identity fraud is sweeping the country. Obamacare also isn't helping any. With electronic medical records, if someone else is using your health insurance, the results can be catastrophic, as demonstrated by the person who died as a result of a midagnosis due to incorrect records from a fraudulent user. It's going to get much worse before it gets bet, so beware. 

Craig Bergman is just off the successful release of his movie Unfair: Exposing The IRS. He's got two more movies scheduled that promise to be even bigger. The first deals with the militarization of police forces across America. Once upon a time, your local Sheriff kept order and was merely a night watchman. Now, the police force is under the control of corrupt politicians and is getting more militarized by the day. Their job has become one of subduing the population. Craig's movie will examine this trend and propose solutions to bring us back to the way things used to be. 

Steve Lord, publisher of The Modern Money Letter, is quite excited about bitcoin's many developments in 2014 and 2015. While it's opportunity as a speculative investment has cooled off, it's acceptance as a medium of exchange has picked up speed. Innovations are coming at a break neck pace. This means that bitcoin is going to have a place at the monetary table of the future. And it's getting much easier to use, which means many more people are going to start using it soon. Big things are ahead. 

Eric Hadik, the master reader of cycles joins us again for a look at 2015-16. He sees more chaos and unrest in Europe as the Euro dips to 110. Gold and silver are headed for one last cycle low as well. King Dollar keeps up it's rally, for a while anyway. The Russian Bear is rising and that's bad for the Stock Market. Everything is connected for better or for worse. Just be prepared to avoid losses.
