Repurchase agreements or Repos are a cornerstone of today's leveraged economic system. They've been around since 1917. It's a way for banks to eke out a few more basis points on their bond holdings. Just yesterday the interest rate shot up from 2.25% to 10% overnight. This situation is unheralded. When things start going wrong in this market, there's likely major problems ahead. It's a market based on trust and certainty of repayment by banks and other major financial institutions. When they lose faith as they did in 2008, bad things happen. Like credit freezes and potential bank failures. Will 2019 be a replay of 2008? Let's see what happens next. |

When it comes to dealing with attorneys, the average person is at a loss. If you've gotten injured or have a case, it can be very difficult to connect with a lawyer. Byron is trying to change all that. He's a regular guy who wears tank tops and shorts to the office. He's covered in tattoos and speaks the language of the common man. But Byron is a fighter and he knows when to stand his ground. In today's crazy dysfunctional world, Byron could be the right anti-layer for you. |

Arch Crawford finally saw gold's new ascendancy and made the call before it broke out of it's near decade doldrums. According to Arch there's more to come. We'll be looking ahead to lower stock prices, softening of real estate markets and continued decrease of interest rates. We're living in interesting times. |

Greg Crowe was enjoying a peaceful retirement and was in the middle of a bike ride through Vancouver's Stanley Park, when he got the call to take over the helm at Silver One Resources. Dressed in his bike garb, he rode over to the recruitment meeting and was immediately offered the position. Now he's biking less, as he's totally committed to building Silver One Resources. The Nevada Candelaria Project had a remarkable run as a high grade silver producer. It shut down in the late '90's when $5 silver made it uneconomical. There's likely to be at least 50 million ounces sitting on the leach pads alone and Greg's working over-time to recover it. In addition, the project also has great potential as numerous resources were identified by a prior owner but followed up on. Numerous historic mines there also show promise. That's why the Company has been further expanding its land package as well. As if all that wasn't enough, the Company staked out a new claim in Eastern Nevada - Cherokee - located near a historic mine. It appears to have numerous veins that have never been drilled upon. Near the northern part of the historic mine, they've found extremely high grade veins of 1900 grams per ton. As we speak, there's a crew on site doing more mapping and a geophysical survey along with drilling is in the offing. Greg is still amazed to have found a property of this caliber that was open to staking, a true rarity in modern Nevada. |

We’re truly in Bizarro Land. Negative interest rates are the death knell of a financial system. In Sweden they’re giving negative rate mortgages. The system cannot function for long in this current state. A breakdown is inevitable. It’s just a matter of when. It’s a page right out of 1984. Ignorance is strength. You can’t reward savers with negative rates and not expect extremely anomalous behavior to emerge. When debtors get paid to borrow and savers get charged to save, the system is stood up on its head. The end is nigh. |

While the powers that be's control over gold and silver has diminished they still manage to exert undue influence over the market. Gold hit $1550 and silver was heading towards $20. This state of affairs could not be allowed to continue. On a given day da Boyz still have the power to bring the market down. But the affects are only limited, lasting for just a few days. The canary in the coal mine has come back to life. And that's a good thing. |

Our good friend Peter Grandich is back in the rotation. He believes that he’ll never see another bull market in stocks during his life time. And Peter’s not that old. He’s all in on gold and precious metals. And he did that last year, just in time for the emergent precious metals bull. Timing truly is everything in life. |

Daniel McAdams runs the Ron Paul Institute for Peace and Prosperity. At a recent event for your adults, he was shocked. His audience was intelligent, dressed well and very engaged. When we hear stories such as these, there's definitely cause for optimism about the leaders of tomorrow. We reviewed the current state of world affairs and how President Trump is turning out to be the ultimate non-interventionist. But the forces of the Deep State are lined up against him and opposing his every policy. In the end, Trump will prevail against most of them, because they've never encountered opposition like him before. |

A number of leading political figures have consistently downplayed both the economic and military threat from China. Democrat presidential front-runner Joe Biden stated earlier this year, referring to China, "What are we worried about?" It was a follow up to a comment he made in 2018, when he stated "China is going to eat our lunch? Come on, man!" The Reuters news service notes that "...neither Warren, Sanders nor other candidates have made dealing with China, one of the biggest issues facing the current administration, a significant part of their platform." |

The numbers: The number of people who applied for unemployment benefits in late August rose slightly to 215,000, but layoffs remain remarkably low more than 10 years after the last recession and show little sign of rising even as the economy faces stiffer headwinds. |

While more than half of Americans rejected socialism in a recent Gallup poll, 43% surveyed said some version of it would be good for the country. That sentiment was held by 58% of respondents ages 18 to 34, compared with just 36% of those 55 and older. |

Dunagan Keiser believes that everyone should be a prepper. Not a lifestyle prepper who digs bunkers and has a full stock of gas masks and iodine pills, but rather a reluctant prepper who knows disasters happen and both natural and man made are a normal part of life. But, no matter how much you prep, you could have never prepared for Dorian's strike of the Bahamas. Sometimes, you just have to be ready to flee, because that's the best plan. |

The US is fighting a battle to prevent African Swine Flu from hitting North America. As a result security at the nation's hog farms resembles many military bases and government installations. China lost half its hog herd and it could take several years to bring it back. They're going to need every soybean they can purchase from around the world. In other news, gold and silver are booming and will probably continue on for several years. |

David Moadel has been urging readers for years to have a precious metals insurance policy as part of their portfolio to insure wealth against governmental blunders. Red ink is flowing around the world and no one is offering real solutions. Add to that the trade war and China's efforts to become the global power and you've got a recipe for chaos. So time to start stacking.

Everything in life involves risk. Recognizing it and learning to manage it is the key to investment survival in the current market. It's when you're engaging in high risk investing, without recognizing it, that you can really get hurt. Unfortunately, in today's financial system, there are no accurate indicators or risk disclosures. That's why you need to find sources outside the system to learn how to assess and manage your risk. Remember what Bernard Baruch (one of the most successful investors of all time) said, "I got rich letting the other guy make the last 10 percent." |

Mark Campbell is the very definition of persistence. He's been working for years to persuade the Egyptian Government to pass legislation to open up the country's mining industry. Finally, that law has been passed. Mining companies can finally earn a good return and pay reasonable royalties. There's a lot of gold still buried in ancient mines throughout the country. This could be the beginning of a resurgent Egyptian Gold Mining Industry. |

The 2020 Democratic line up would be a joke if they weren’t so dangerous. David believes that none of the current candidates can win. He believes a dark horse will emerge. Will it be Moochelle Obama, Killary or someone else. David says it doesn’t matter. There is no candidate. Are AOC and the Squad being neutralized? We called it here. Watch what happens when you cross Nancy Pelosi. It’s getting very fun and entertaining. |

When we last spoke with Craig Hemke it was May 30, 2019. He vehement in his belief that a new gold bull market was underway. Almost 3 months later and we now know that Craig was right. He was hoping for a 1485 gold price, but his expectations have been exceeded. At this rate gold could be way over $1500 by December 31, 2019. And the stocks could really catapult and that would all be fine with Craig. |

Not really. Arwen Becker was a zoologist when she found herself in need of finding a career that paid the bills. Perhaps understanding those animal spirits helped her understand the human need for a comfortable and happy retirement. It's no secret that people are living longer, but their money isn't. That's why the need for a retirement plan is now great than ever. And that's how zoology affects retirement planning. |

Victor Tiffany founded Bernie or Bust, a group that is as anti-ruling class as President Trump. He believes, and rightfully so, that Bernie was screwed in 2016 when Clinton got the nomination. He thinks this time out that it could happen again. Bernie's running against several fake progressives that will make it hard for him to capture the prize. First and foremost on the Bernie Agenda is climate change. Victor believes that no amount of sacrifice is enough in the pursuit of this elusive goal. Otherwise, the planet will go extinct. We disagree on this point, but we do agree that everyone's voice needs to be heard and that only through rational debate can policies be established that solve real problems. |

Americans have been forced from their homes. Their jobs have been outsourced, their neighborhoods torn down to make room for freeways, their churches shuttered or taken over by social justice warriors, and their very families eviscerated by government programs that assume their functions and a hostile elite that deems them oppressive. Conservatives have always defended these elements of a rooted life as crucial to maintaining cultural continuity in the face of changing circumstances. Unfortunately, official “conservatism” has become fixated on abstract claims about freedom and the profits of “creative destruction.” |

For several years Gerald Celente stated that until gold broke 1385 and then 1450 it wasn’t going to move higher. In rapid fire succession gold has burst through those resistance points. Gerald believes that it’s going much higher and will take silver along with it. War clouds are on the horizon in a number the theaters and it’s just a question of which black swan crashes to earth first. Gerald say get ready for the Greater Depression. |
