Kerry Lutz's--Financial Survival Network

Max Porterfield's is President and CEO of Callinex Mines. They're located in Canada and have a number of projects in Manitoba and are an FSN partner. The news out of the Callinex is exciting as world class investors have have invested heavily in the company. Max believes that there's an emerging supply issue with Zinc, mines have closed and above ground supplies are being depleted. This could spell opportunity for Callinex and investors who get in early. 

Liberty HealthShare has been making incredible inroads in their efforts to empower people and giving options for health care spending. The concept of Healthcare Cost Sharing Ministries is really catching on. And for good reason too, the concept of peer-to-peer healthcare cost sharing is an idea who's time has come. Using these plans cost a fraction of traditional health insurance. Certainly cost sharing is not for everyone, but if your health is good and you're living a healthy lifestyle, it's always worth checking out, like I did. I've saved well over $10,000 since starting with them, less than one year ago. 

Anthony Kovic has a mission in life, helping the average person prep for disaster. Depending upon where you live and your personal situation, Anthony has a plan for you.  It's not about extreme prepping at all, it's about what you would need to have if the lights and water went out for up to two weeks. Anthony was inspired to write his book after Hurricane Sandy hit the Northeast and he had helped a number of friends and family to avoid the worst parts of it. 

Where do we go from here Wednesdays with Andrew Hoffman:

-Shanghai Fix, Deutschebank, PSLV (and soon CEF and PHYS) deals
-Exploding global demand, falling production
-Worst global economy every, exploding money printing
-Doha meeting

Whatever happened to full disclosure and transparency? Seems now-a-days virtually everyone in every sector has a conflict of interest. Conflicts may or may note be acceptable to the parties involved, but they are never acceptable when they remain hidden. And that's exactly the problem today. The revolving door between the SEC, Treasury and the Justice Department makes it impossible for the government to hold guilty players accountable. Accountability is required to flush out the bad players, insure the fairness of the market and bring the system back to life. When and if this will happen is really in question. 

Jeff Berwick wrote and produced a number of articles and videos last year about the Shmita. He saw major market disruptions and much chaos ahead. Just when you thought it was safe to day trade again, Jeff has been writing about the Jubilee, which is the year after the 7th Shmita. Though not observed by the Jewish religion for quite a while, Jeff believes we are experiencing the Jubilee year now and that there's much turmoil that's already occurred, but there's much more to come. Being prepared is the only way to get through this challenge without great suffering. Is he right? Probably too early to tell, but the year is already 1/3 over and if the remainder is like the beginning, buckle your seat belts. 

The U.S. experiences a financial and terror crisis as it wrestles with the Presidential election of 2020. So goes the theme of Jim's next book. How far from reality will it be?  

Jeff Cox is the Finance Editor at CNBC. His first book expressed great concern about the burgeoning deficit. That was in 2011 and things haven't gotten any better in the past 5 years. Things are changing, the US is changing its monetary policy and the easy money has been made thanks to Quantitative Easing and money printing. There will always be opportunities and Jeff believes that one needs to invest internationally. He also believes in holding a portion of your portfolio in gold. A very refreshing outlook from a member of the mainstream financial media. 

Woody believes that recession is right around the corner. It's been a year since the stock market has hit a new high. Precious metals are up, oil is looking better and most commodities overall have made a hard bottom. And add Donald Trump into the mix and it doesn't getting any more interesting than that. And then of course there's "Crooked Hillary."

When it comes to trailer parks, most people have unpleasant stereotypes mapped in their brains. However, most trailer parks couldn't be further from that image. They're places where lower income working class people can buy a home take pride in their ownership. Business is stable and growing in large measure because most towns and cities will not allow new parks to be built. Legendary investor Sam Zell controls a REIT that is the largest owner of trailer parks in the nation and routinely earns 17 percent. Is it right for you? Listen and find out. 

John Rubino was with us today discussing the recent admission of Deutsche Bank's role in fixing the gold/silver markets. John is of the opinion that this isn't the big smoking gun that everyone was expecting. Rather it was a simple case of using their knowledge of the upcoming fix to effectively front run the price and make some money in the process. The big issue which will probably never go to trial is Fed/Central Bank fixing where gold is leased and contracts floor the market in an effort to control the price. Is it really happening? You be the judge. 

When it comes to saving on taxes, few people have the depth of knowledge and experience of the Taxmama-Eva Rosenberg. Her new book Deduct Everything is must reading for anyone who's every deducted anything from their taxes. And if you have a tax question, just go to her site and she'll answer it to the best of her incredible abilities. 

We spoke with our partner's president recently. We've been following First Mining Finance (TSX.V FF). They were listed just over a year ago and have already done 5 acquisitions with more on the way. Currently, they have over 9 million ounces of gold in the ground and are looking to close out 2016 with over 15 million. The goal is to find strategic partners to actually develop the mines and handle the extraction process. So far things are looking good, the strategy is working and the stock price has increased of late. With Keith Neumeyer, Patrick and the rest of the team, this is a rare company that is actually shareholder-centric. Their goal is simple, build another billion dollar company, and do it fast while the window of opportunity is still open. 

William Hurley of CEO of HonestDollar.com has come up with a way for small businesses and 1099 Employees to seamlessly accumulate and invest large amounts of savings with a low-cost easy to use service. It make such sense to start saving early and often. It's one of those things that if only you did it sooner, you'd be so much better off. The free market can come up with solutions, if only they're allowed to. Don't count on the government to solve this problem, it's up to you.

Where Do We Go From Here Wednesdays with Andrew Hoffman:

MAJOR EVENTS, PORTENDING CARTEL’S DEMISE

Etc., etc.

-AND Q&A EVENT/WEBCAST FROM Florida next week!

The attempted fixes by the Fed and the Treasury are now wearing thin. What's an ordinary person to do? And what will happen if you don't take measures now? Philip Kennedy author of Financial Judo examines these issues and presents fresh common sense alternatives for the average person. 

Wayne Allyn Root, author, movie producer and famed Vegas odds maker weighed in on the election and the efforts to Dump Trump and make Hillary Electable Again. Wayne believes that the GOP Establishment will go to their deaths fighting Trump. In the end, if they succeed they fail because the party will cease to exist. And if they lose, they're done for it because Trump will sweep them aside. And then the winner gets to take on Hillary, an extremely flawed candidate who should be serving time in prison, not the White House. It's all building up to be an incredible election, but next week is New York's Primary and the stars are lining up for Donald Trump!

Sebastian L. Gorka, Ph.D. serves as the Major General Matthew C. Horner Distinguished Chair of Military Theory at Marine Corps University where he provides courses and lectures on Irregular Warfare. Previously he was Associate Dean of Congressional Affairs and Relations to the Special Operations Community at National Defense University. With this background he is well versed in the ongoing struggle against Global Jihad. He believes a there is no total military solution, but rather that we must work with our allies on a combined approach. He believes that the current administration has failed completely in its efforts and has lost all credibility. 

Jason Hartman has planned a trip to Jekyll Island, birth place of the Federal Reserve. It will be taking place the first weekend in May. I will be attending and it promises to be fun-filled and informative. We will tour the very rooms where the secretive banking cabal set the gears in motion to create the most powerful financial institution the world has ever known. 

We also discussed the Panamanian document breach and what it tells us about the most powerful people on the planet. Quite obviously there are two sets of rules, one for the masses and the other for the elites. That's the way the system was designed and why you need to find relief. 

Finally, they're coming for your IRA, if not now-then later. It's just a matter of when. They're just too attractive a target and a source of funding for a bankrupt government. So get ready now, so we don't have to tell you, "We told you so!"

Doug Casey is bullish on the resource sector. He believes that it has hit bottom and will be going up from here. On the government and human front he's not so optimistic. The sociopaths who run things are more concerned about the well-being of government rather than the people. For this reason it grows like a cancer and eventually consumes all in its path. But Doug believes that as long as WWIII doesn't take place, humanity will ultimately find its way and move forward. However, there will be much suffering and unpleasantness as the Greater Depression rears its ugly head once again. 

John writes, "Corporate profitability is one of the canaries in today’s financial coal mine. If companies are making more money each year they tend to hire more people, pay more taxes and generally make life easier for everyone else. But when earnings decline, everything from government budgeting to personal financial planning gets much harder. 

Viewed through this lens, 2015 was a 'coming to grips' year in which the financial markets vacillated over the meaning of falling corporate profits: Are they an aberration or the new normal?"

David Morgan, author of The Silver Manifesto joined us today. We reviewed the the Northwest Territorial Mint Bankruptcy and its implications for the bullion market. It's always a good idea to split up your purchases and don't put all your eggs in one basket. Multiple dealers are a good idea. At least if you buy on eBay, they will stand behind their sellers and issue you a refund in the event of non-delivery. Now in the wake of NWT's bankruptcy, there's hundreds if not thousands of buyers left holding the bag.

Next we discussed the current state of the precious metals markets. David sees 2016 as a net positive and he believes the real upside action is reserved for 2017. Either, he believes that a bottom has probably been put in, but you never know.

Andrew Zatlin takes a numbers based approach to the economy. He believes that employment has peaked and it's going down from here. This will stretch profits at many firms and lead to cost cutting and more layoffs, which further perpetuates the cycle. Stocks will probably head lower for the year and in 2017, watch out for the dividend payers, there might be substantial cuts in payouts. 

It's always important to look back and review your past as well as looking ahead to where the future may take you. Jason does that regularly and looking back at 2015 he sees that he missed on oil and gold. Who could have expected oil to crash to decades low levels? As far as gold, it's always hard to catch a falling knife. But looking ahead at 2016, the trends in place will continue. The sheeple still don't get it, but some are waking up now. 

A massive document breach from on of the world's shadiest law firms has already resulted in the resignation of Iceland's Prime Minister. Nothing worse than having those secret off-shore bank accounts becoming public. It will be interesting to see who's quitting next. The subterfuge and deceit has risen to the surface and perhaps the world will never again be the same.
