Summary:
Changes in the economy bring about subsequent changes in the housing market, which have been more prominent than ever in the post-pandemic world. Is it possible that we’ve seen the lows and housing is making a comeback? Texas-based mortgage broker Debbie Bloyd comes on the show to talk about what she is observing in real estate, and it looks as if people are returning to the markets in search of their future home. Interest rate fluctuations and intense bidding wars last year caused many people to put their home purchase on hold, and rent rather than buy. As these leases come to an end, buyers are circling back to the housing market in hopes of finding the property they want at a more reasonable price. Whether or not prices are coming down, however, is still relatively dependent upon the seller. While some need to sell more urgently, others are riding out the storm, set on a very specific price. Tune in for more information on what’s to come in housing.

We talked about the God Bless America ETF back in October 2022 and it has performed extremely well since—beating a lot of the major indices. In this episode I sit down with Adam Curran, the creator of the ETF, who has been dreaming of this moment ever since he first visited the New York Stock Exchange as a child. Adam attributes the success of the fund to his somewhat aberrant strategy: focusing on businesses that put profit over politics. As many big corporations get tied up with every political conversation, Adam believes that it is critical for businesses to stay focused on performance, and looks for these sort of companies when investing. Tune in to learn more about some of the sectors the God Bless America ETF is involved with, and things to watch for in this year’s market.

As we quickly approach the end of January, many are wondering what is in store for the rest of 2023 with regard to inflation rates and the markets. Is the Fed going to follow through on lowering inflation, and how will this affect the rest of the economy? Jim Welsh comes on the show to talk about some of the things that will take place this year, and assures us that the Fed is very intent on sticking to their guns—meaning that we can expect inflation to make its way down to 3%. Although Wall Street is skeptical, Jim reminds us that getting inflation to 3% is doable; on the other hand, taking inflation below 3% will be the tricky endeavor. Jim, among a number of experts, expects that we will see a recession this year and that the effort of globalization will unwind. Furthermore, a combination of factors will result in a secular bear market, which Jim elaborates on in his latest piece. Tune in to this episode for more insight.

We’re already in the second half of January, and many are wondering what’s in store for crypto this year. Are we going to see more decentralized finance, or is the system going to reclaim its power? Here to discuss this is former Bloomberg reporter, Matt Leising, who discusses some of the implications of currency decentralization—the most impactful one being that the middle man is eliminated. Matt explains why this is such a game changer, and how smart contracts speed up the transaction process; additionally, crypto helps to eliminate Western Union fees and allows for the seamless transport of money to/from places with fewer banks. Matt emphasizes that crypto is not an attempt to replace the current monetary system, but that it offers a viable alternative for those wanting to protect their capital against inflation and unforeseen obstacles in the economy.

We’re halfway through the first month of 2023 and consumer sentiment is better than expected. Will the January effect continue, and are good times here to stay? Edward Siddell comes on the show to talk about this, and is unsurprised by consumer sentiment given everything else going on. With rising inflation comes a subsequent rise in credit, meaning that people’s spending ability was unaffected during the holiday season. Nonetheless, we should brace ourselves for the inevitable—which will entail a bad earning season and many jobs lost, according to Edward. We should expect another round of quantitative easing, as well as a recession of unknown depths in the near future. Tune in to find out more.

We sat down with, sponsor Regenx Tech's (TSX-V: RGX - OTCQB: RGXTF) CEO Greg Pendura and their US division's President Rick Purdy. The company is engaged in economically recovering large amounts of platinum and palladium from discarded diesel catalytic converters, most of which were headed for the landfill. They have first mover advantage. Purdy's commitment to the company led him and his family's move to the US. Impressed with the technology, we invested in shares.

Last summer we visited the company's newly perfected pilot plant, while it was planning an industrial scale facility. Regenx's oversubscribed rights offering enabled it to begin building its Tennessee plant. The situs was no accident; it's located in close proximity to one of the Southeast's leading recycling companies, thereby insuring a near endless supply of discarded diesel converters. Regenx has a huge advantage over potential competitors, who would need to build a raw material supply chain from scratch.

Regenx's proprietary process is an example of a green technology that is ready for primetime. In an eco-friendly manner, It recovers 90+% of platinum/palladium embedded in a diesel catalytic converter. Before Regenx, the choice was to smelt the metal out in a very dirty and uneconomical process. As a result over 2/3 of diesel catalytic converters presently find their way to landfills.

That's all about to change, with plant completion expected in Q1, production is slated for Q2 of 2023. The cash flow potential is enormous as is the scalability. We could eventually see Regenx plants pop up around the globe.

In this episode, Craig Hemke and I review some predictions he made in 2022, using these outcomes as a guideline for the year ahead.

A pivot is to be expected later in the year, and negative reports will ultimately cause the Federal Reserve to cut rates. Will they have any credibility left by the end of the year?

To kick off the new year, John Rubino and I sit down and chat about expectations for 2023—specifically in regard to the state of the economy. One of the Fed branches announced that we are in a recession, which is a fair assessment given all of the recessionary indicators that can be observed. We’ve been seeing slowed growth for quite some time now, and should expect to see even more of decline going forward. The Fed is ultimately going to have to keep tightening until something (in this case, large cap stocks) breaks, and they will eventually be forced to ease again.

With the start of 2023, it’s time to start thinking about the year ahead. Is there a way to make money this year? If not, is there a way to hold on to what you already have? Jerry Fetta comes on the show to talk about how you can continue to make money in times of rampant inflation and heightened interest rates. It’s more costly to borrow money at the moment, so it’s wise to focus on investments that will not be easily impacted by interest rates.

This does not necessarily imply adding income streams into the equation; rather, consolidation and taking advantage of what you already have are the keys to success.

Tough times are ahead as we approach the new year. Should we expect a white collar recession, or is the recession going to hit all parts of the economy equally? Eddie Yoon appears in this episode to discuss which industries are being impacted the most by the current economic conditions. Looking at employment, enormous cuts have been made in the realm of corporate staff. Recent instances of mass layoffs have demonstrated that management roles—especially those managing knowledge workers—are being omitted and will be at major risk in 2023. Thus, as corporations eliminate middle men, it looks as if we are truly entering the age of the solo-preneur. Tune in to this episode to find out what’s to come.

Docking at the Mothership

We received a sponsor update from Fury Gold Mines' (TSX/NYSE American: FURY) from CEO Tim Clark and Exploration SVP Bryan Atkinson, and it was a big one. Fury drilled 13.5 meters of 8.05 G/T Gold at the Percival Project. The grade went as high as 25.8 G/T at 3 meters. These outstanding results virtually insure that the company will grow substantially and shareholders such as us will profit greatly.

Clark mentioned that the company's Dolly Varden Silver shares have been performing well as of late and are now worth over CAD $50 million. The company is sitting on $10 million in cash, which means Fury has an enterprise value of just CAD$9 million. A paltry valuation like this for a junior with all of Fury's attributes seems to defy reason.

Atkinson observed that Fury still has 13 other high-grade targets at Percival and is marching quickly ahead on the Newmont joint venture project as well. Now it's just a matter of pinpointing the most promising targets.

We suspected that great news would be forthcoming from Fury, but we had no idea how positive it would be. With the backing of Newmont and Agnico Eagle, through their equity positions, Fury represents the best in breed of a challenged junior mining sector. No doubt, 2023 will be a major turning point for Fury and the sector as a whole, and we're looking forward to being part of it, while sharing in the upside potential.
