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

Avi Gilburt went from playing professional hockey, to a career in a law and accounting, to becoming a master Elliott Wave interpreter. He tells us his story, sad in parts, inspiring in others. In the past three years, the cycle theorists have called these markets right far more often than anyone else. There's a reason why and Avi explains it to us. He also tells us why he believes there's big money to be made in the gold miners and the oil drillers, if you have the guts and the staying power. A new guest, you'll be hearing from Avi a lot more in the future.

Jack Welch has some unkind words for the Chancellor of New York City's failing school system. Where else do the superintendents of failing schools get promoted? No wonder Johnny can't read, write or do rithmetic. Jack Welch wouldn't accept this kind of performance but for some reason the minorities of America's cities can't get enough. Interesting things happening in the PM markets. Keep your eyes open. 

Gordon T. Long has been sounding the alarm on Financial Repression for quite some time. Unfortunately most people have been unaware that their wealth is being stripped away before their very eyes. But Gordon and his associates have devised a number of strategies that can be exercised to avoid this fate. Before you can solve a problem, you've got to admit that it exits. 

Chris Duane joined us today after a long absence. He's been pumping out more special silver coins that truly make a statement. We also talked about the current occupant of the White House. Obama is truly an enigma. Who is he, where did he come from and who is his father, really? Those are just a few of the questions Chris has. Also, what's the real motive behind amnesty for illegals and Chris tells us about the Cloward-Piven strategy for anarchy. Interesting information that's hard to come by. 

Goldmoney's Alasdair MacLeod joined us today. Japan and Europe are an absolute mess. The US isn't much better. Right now the question is whether the Swiss are going to pass their referenda, key among them which would require gold backing of the Franc and break the Euro peg. Of course the elites want no part of it, which is what makes it so interesting. Polling data shows it being defeated, but who conducts those polls again? Alasdair believes that the upshot of the recent G20 meeting is that monetary policy has run its course and that any further stimulus will have to be done fiscally. What effect it will have is another story. 

Gary Christenson of the DeviantInvestor.com believes we may finally have seen the bottom in precious metals markets. But after what we've seen in the last few months, no one is willing to bet the ranch on it. But initial signs are encouraging. We may also be nearing the top in the stock market. It's always easier to call a bottom than a top, so stay tuned. 

Danielle Park joined us today for a discussion of the latest developments in the financial markets. The plunge in the oil markets continues to dominate. If it continues, this could have a devastating impact upon the Canadian and US economies as well as others. For the past 6 years it has been the one bright spot and now things are looking bleak. The ability of central banks to keep things in check is increasingly being called into question. And of course corruption continues unchecked. 

Jim Mosquera, author of E$caping Oz: Protecting your wealth during the financial crisis, joined us today. As he said, you've read the headlines. The Fed is "printing money". All This should be bad for the dollar. Yet the dollar has shown remarkable resiliency and still remains the world's preferred currency. Should investors relax or be concerned? Jim has his view on what's coming next. He believes that we're going to see lots of deflation in those markets where the Fed's easy money policy has inflated prices, ie the Stock Market. The question is when? 

John Rubino joined us for our Monday chat. Now that the real economy has once again asserted itself and we see no and low growth breakout across the planet, what's going to happen next? A giant dose of QE has done nothing to help Japan as it heads back to recession. China's credit situation continues to deteriorate. But the price of art and collectibles at Christies and Southeby's continues to hit records. What's going on here and what's next? John has some definite opinions on the subject.

1.  Swiss referendum                    

                - Articles - "Call to the Swiss" - published Friday; "the most prescient statement ever made" - publishing today, of Ferdinand Lips' 2005 prediction the SNB would be forced to buy back its gold at higher prices; and "He Doth Protest         too much - the best of Thomas Jordan" (publishing tomorrow), of the incredible MSM and SNB propaganda battle against the initiative, which is clearly more likely to pass than not.

2.  From the article, the "Three Death Trends," the impact of falling oil prices, collapsing currencies, and expanding currency wars

3.  Pitiful U.S. economy, as characterized by negative reports in construction spending, durable goods orders, factory orders, and today's industrial production

                -Article - "Chasm of Destruction," regarding the largest ever gap between rigged financial markets and horrific economic data

                -2000 level valuations, sentiment and leverage, in both the U.S. and Europe, amidst worst economy of our lifetimes

4.  MASSIVE Japan GDP miss, printing this morning at -1.6%, versus expectation of +2.2%

5.  Largest Chinese bad debt increase in a decade

6.  Euro 3Q GDP print of just 0.2% on Friday

7. G-20 boondoggle, attacks on Putin - who made Russia's largest gold purchases ever last month

8.  Record PM backwardization, surging silver open interest ahead of next Monday's Dec COMEX options expiration, rising premiums, record demand

9.  Mining companies feeling incredible pain at current prices

                -First Majestic holding back production, Silvercorp hinting at cutting production, IAG cutting staff, earnings beyond miserable as year-end reserve calculations, capex budgets, and production plans loom

Nick Santiago thinks we're about to see a turn around. Based upon this Friday and last, something's about to happen. The miners might be about to make a turn around too. The world is going crazy and the financial system is on the skids, where else can you put your money? Precious metals is going to be the place to be. Be patient. 

Do you really live in the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave? Check out Martin Armstrong's story and then decide. The movie is coming out in Europe shortly. Here's the trailer. People are fed up with the Government's corruption and encroachment on individual rights. Government is collapsing now as a result of promising too much and now the bill has to be paid and there's no money left to pay it. 

Switzerland's referendum is coming up and Martin believes that the danger of not passing it is more dangerous because it will result in the sale of the remainder of the Swiss gold reserves. 

Big Bang coming in the Sovereign Debt Crisis in 2015.75 so watch out! The Euro is doomed. Once one of the weaker countries splits off, it's over. The UK is being pushed away and this will trigger the crisis along with Japan's crisis. 

Our current pension system is based on the Roman pension system which was 20 years and out. It happened then and it's happening now. The Romans had to cut back and we're cutting back now. Rome was just Detroit on steroids. 

Alan Ellman of the BlueCollarInvestor.com explained several ways to preserve your portfolio in the event of a major stock market correction. While there's no fool proof way of fully insuring your portfolio, by becoming short term oriented, you'll be much less vulnerable to devastating crashes and you may even be able to profit from them. Alan shows you how to use options to limit your exposure and increase your returns. 

Bix Weir stopped by the FSN studios today loaded with good cheer. As we prepare for the November 30th Swiss Referenda, what will the powers that be come up with next to frustrate the will of the people? Can they possibly allow the stupid Swiss the right to determine the value of their own money? Probably not. Next, we talked about the deterioration of the system and the ever more important Second Amendment. Without it, we would truly be lost, especially in the coming hard times. It's all coming to a head now. 

First time guest Jordan Goodman came on the show today. Fellow New Yorker and Westchesterite, he's seeing the rest of Obamacare coming on line shortly. It's going to have an extremely negative impact on small businesses and the Republican Congress won't be able to repeal or mitigate it soon enough. Other negative impacts of the current administration are going to rear their ugly head shortly, so you need to be prepared. Jordan discovered an easy safe way to make above market returns on short term mortgages that Dodd-Frank has outlawed. No doubt more regulatory mayhem is on the way. 

Tom Cloud has been selling gold and diamonds for 38 years. He knows what drives markets and he's been keenly watching the upcoming Swiss Gold referenda. Did you know that Paypal cut off all contributions to the cause earlier this month? Why would they do such a thing? Were they under pressure by the central banks? If the intiative passes, gold is going up, if it doesn't, gold will take it big hit--in the short run. Let's see if the powers that be can stop it. 

Dr. Elaina George joined us today for an update on the toll that Obamacare has exacted. That toll continues to increase and the quality of care that Americans receive from the healthcare system continues to suffer. Procedures that used to be administered by doctors are now done by nurse practitioners and physician assistants. Look for this trend to accelerate. And now we find out that Americans were lied to and played for fools by the chief architect of the plan, because if they knew the truth, they would have rejected Obamacare long ago. Better late than never. 

Craig a/k/a Turd joined us today for an in depth discussion of the insane precious metals markets. If you don't believe they're manipulated, just look at today's Financial Times and the article on UBS's reprimand by the Swiss financial regulator for frontrunning precious metals contracts. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. As Craig explains it, there's nothing but manipulation taking place, and then you have a day like Friday, when the open interest on the Comex goes crazy and the price of gold goes up $37.50, for no appartent reason. Craig also linked gold's woes to the Japanese Yen, showing that the recent decline in the Japanese currency went hand in hand with the decline in the price of the yellow metal. We'll see what will happen next and make sure you tune in to our webinar on November 25, 2014 at 9pm est with Craig. He'll be going much more in depth and you'll definitely want to catch it. 

Frank Vernuccio, Jr., joined us and we talked about the federal government's attempt to control the internet both by the FCC's Net Neutrality rules and their Twitter contract with Indiana University, which led to numerous conservative accounts being cancelled. We also discussed the New York elections and Governor Cuomo's secret deal with the Senate Republicans that led to Comrade DeBlasio's defeat and helped defeat the Republican Candidate for Governor. Much palace intrigue in the Empire State.  

Former Congressman John LeBoutillier reviews the extent of the Republican Congressional sweep and what they intend to do next, now that they've won control of the Congress. John believes that without a vision, they have very little chance of keeping control and the public will quickly become disillusioned. That remains to be seen. 

In the more than two-hundred-year history of the American presidency, there has been one element present in each and every administration: alcohol.

In the beginning, there was George Washington, who sold whiskey distilled at Mount Vernon and preferred to quaff a well-crafted port. More than two hundred years later, Barack Obama beckoned some master brewers to advise his White House staff on how to make mouth-watering batches of White House Honey Ale with a key ingredient from Michelle Obama’s beehives.

And then there was the matter of the forty-two other gentlemen in between…

Journalist Mark Will-Weber strolls through our country’s memorable moments—from the Founding Fathers to the days of Prohibition, from impeachment hearings to diplomatic negotiations—and the role that a good stiff drink played in them in his new book, Mint Juleps with Teddy Roosevelt: The Complete History of Presidential Drinking.

Gold and silver have taken a beating in the past few months. Friday for no explicable reason gold went up $37 and change. And then yesterday it gets hit and is down almost as much as it went up on Friday. We're so happy that it's a free market and that no manipulation is taking place. The concept of a publicly traded market has become a joke. That's why you shouldn't worry about the day to day price and you need to treat precious metals as an insurance policy. That way you'll never go wrong.
