Kerry Lutz's--Financial Survival Network

Rick Ackerman is a technical analyst par excellent. His hidden pivot system has been right so many times that FSN reviews his work regularly to assess upcoming trends. Right now, he’s seeing another uptrend in the dollar and more bad news for Europe. The ECB blew through $1 trillion in a very short time and at this rate what can they do next? The bond markets are being “stage-managed” by the Fed and the ECB to try to create the appearance of normalcy. But these markets are far from normal! There’s a lot of dark storm clouds on the horizon. So watch out!

Are you wondering how long these markets can continue on their merry way to higher highs and higher lows? While the long term trend may be obvious to most, it’s in the short term where you lose the money-- as in right now! Rick Ackerman’s short term calls over the past year have been uncanny. He’ll let you know where he thinks the dollar and the Euro are heading now.

Some call it a global depression, but Bob Hoye calls it a post-bubble contraction. Bob has seen it all, and what he hasn’t seen, he’s studied. With a degree in geophysics and a lot of summers spent working in mining, Bob’s got some very interesting views on history and financial history especially. In the past, his capitulation model has been extremely accurate. He is a proud member of the rational fringe, which uses research instead of feelings to understand interest rate manipulations and their economic impact.

Bob believes as did Mark Twain, while history may not repeat itself, it certainly rhymes. And nothing rhymes more than financial cycles of boom and bust from the beginning of history to present. According to Bob, one thing occurs in booms and it's the increase in real purchasing power of gold and silver.  You can find Bob at www.InstitutionalAdvisors.com.

Trevor Bradley from Georgetown Marketing discussed how to internationalize your assets before it's too late. Many people are unaware that it is currently completely legal to invest funds overseas. Whether you're opening a bank account, investing in a business, or buying real estate, you are free to invest as you desire. However, you must do it properly and report it to the irs/government. Failure to properly disclose your overseas assets and investments can result in extremely Draconian fines and penalties. With the rapid deterioration of the US economic system, how much longer will Uncle Sam allow this? 

Trevor Bradley, a resident of Belize, is an expert in helping you do it the right way. The banks in Belize have an extremely high reserve requirement, 24 percent, the highest in the world! They only invest in 50 percent mortgages, meaning the borrower must put down 50 percent cash to purchase real estate. It's certainly worth looking into, if you're in the right circumstances. You never know when the government will prohibit overseas investment or asset holdings. They've been moving in that direction for many years.

Ty Andros and I wrap-up the week and discuss the serious situation in Europe, especially Spain. A former partner of mine who worked for a large telecom company always used to state, "The situation is hopeless, but never serious." But for Europe and the US it often appears hopeless and extremely serious. But, perhaps the "geniuses" that reside at the Fed and the European Central Bank will find a way out. That hasn't happened yet, and we're extremely skeptical that it will happen now, which means, it's inflate or die.

The problem with this approach is that it merely puts off the day of reckoning to a time when hyper-inflation becomes the inevitable result of profligate money printing. This is where the world is heading! Every central bank in the world seems to have its chairman's gaze fixed on the rearview mirror and his foot all the way down on the accelerator. They are all acting totally oblivious to the abyss quickly approaching ahead. Perhaps one day soon the charmen will soon stare into that abyss and slam on the brakes. We can only hope!

Max Yemets was back on talking more about hyper-inflation and how debts get destroyed. He told the story of how his father took out a loan to purchase a bicycle back in post-Soviet controlled Ukraine. It was a large loan by their standards; but when hyper-inflation hit, his father was able to repay the loan for virtually nothing. There's something instructive about this scenario, and history could very well repeat itself. Imagine having a large mortgage that you get to pay back in greatly depreciated dollars.

Max believes that if you aren't buying metals now, you should be! He suggests starting out small with pre-1965, US, 90% silver coins. Buy a few Quarters for around $6 each. Pretty soon, you'll just intuitively understand what real money is all about, and you'll know exactly what to do.

The renowned Dr. Doom also known as Dr. Marc Faber joined FSN today to discuss his latest commentary that it might just be time to start looking at real estate investments in severely distressed markets such as Florida and Arizona. Dr. Faber explained his outlook for the Western Economies, his forecasts for Gold and Silver, and his take on "printing press" economics.

Ever voluble, while at the same time sounding the clarion call for the collapse of civilization, Dr. Faber talks about what things make for a happy, satisfying, and content life. Never dull, Dr. Faber has always got a unique perspective on things, which is why his Gloom Boom and Doom Report is must reading.

Ed Steer, publisher of the Casey Research's Gold & Silver Daily newsletter joined us again today. He, along with Bill Murphy and many others, has been accusing governments of manipulating the gold and silver markets for over a decade. Recent events have proven this beyond a shadow of a doubt. Ed reflects upon GATA's successes and failures re: taking on the Fed and the US government.

In addition, Ed discusses where gold and silver would be, if the full faith and credit of the world's governments was not aligned against it. Ed and I also talked about the end of the cartels' war against the precious metals and where prices will be headed, (Hint-hint-they won't be going down).

Danielle Park, the extremely talented host of www.JugglingDynamite.com and gifted money manager, joined us for our bi-weekly get-together and analysis of the rapidly unraveling global financial system. There's a major trader at JP Morgan who's literally juggling financial dynamite! Just like the big casino gambler that he actually is, his nickname is "The London Whale." He's juggling billions in derivatives positions and when those explosive units come crashing down to earth, the monetary system might very well crash with it. Why would he be allowed to act so recklessly?

While we know there are many high-powered listeners to the show, who would have thought the Premier of China would be one of them? Wen Jiabao, while not quoting the Financial Survival Network interview, expressed his distaste for too big to fall banks, who are getting a free ride at the global public's expense. He favored breaking them up and forcing them to relinquish power. Who says all politicians are dense and unable or unwilling to grasp the dangers of over concentrated financial power? Now if he would only be as honest about the Chinese Communist Party and its Too Big To Fail State Enterprise Empire, China could get some real Hope and Change they could believe in!

Dr. Marc Faber (Gloom Boom and Doom Report) thinks real estate in extremely depressed markets may be a good buy. He may be right, but he could also be wrong, and the markets could decline further. Yes markets in Florida, Phoenix and Vegas have declined by as much as 75% since the economic collapse began in 2007. However, that doesn’t mean these markets can’t decline even further. If you see a house in a boarded up subdivision, and it’s selling for next to nothing, that doesn’t make it a good buy.

We propose several means of valuing a property you’re considering purchasing:

1) Is the house selling for 3 times or less than the average income of that neighborhood? That’s a traditional valuation that became obsolete during the housing boom, but has seen a revival.

2) Is it cheaper to own than it is to rent, before the tax benefit? This is becoming more and more prevalent in especially hard hit areas of the country.

3) Can you realize a positive cash flow on a home bought for investment or a multifamily property? As Robert Kiyosaki, of Rich Dad, Poor Dad acclaim says, an asset is something that returns a cash-flow. A liability is something a costs you money.

Of course, you shouldn’t forget that pot of government subsidized mortgage money. Artificially low rates and minimal down payments could make a real estate purchase very attractive. But be selective; don’t settle for anything less than you want. After all, you’re a buyer in the mother of all buyer’s markets.

"Ranting" Andy Hoffman of Miles Franklin joined us again for his weekly rant. He was particularly peeved today because his internet service went down, compliments of a wonderful oligarchic cable company that wants to control his existence. Then we got down to the end of the Great Indian Gold Strike of 2012. The gold merchants of India, which is by the way the largest gold consuming nation on Earth, won their battle against the government's attempt to impose an excise tax on gold imports. The strike lasted three weeks, during which time gold sellers were heard to proclaim, "No Gold for You!"

The jobs numbers which were released last week, to coincide with the holidays and decreased public attention, were absolutely abismal. There was nothing redeeming about them, and they will lead to an immediate dose of Quantitative Easing 3.0. The numbers are so horrid; it's getting to the point where even the manipulators at the Bureau of Labor Statistics can't make them look good. The Labor Force Participation rate is in the cellar--over 88 million people are divorced from the force, an all time high.

Chris Duane has just finished a new video about silver confiscation and why it's not going to happen. Many people are concerned about the ever-expanding government. We fear that eventually our silver will be confiscated, just like gold was in the 1930's. This is a highly unlikely occurrence, as there are too many large, attractive confiscation candidates, such as: COMEX, GLD, SLV and the other major dealers. Going house-to-house to seize physical holdings of precious metals is just not practical and could lead to violent backlashes.

Chris and I also discussed why Homeland Security needs 450 million rounds of .40 caliber ammunition and 20,000 cleaning kits. It sounds much more like a lucrative corpratist giveaway that the government has become so expert at over the years. That's not to say you shouldn't be concerned, but rather there are much more important matters right now that need your attention, like building your financial survival plan.

The extent of the governmental corruption in the United States today is beyond comprehension. With that corruption comes the continuing erosion of individual rights and the escalating movement towards totalitarianism. Here's another example of what we are facing as a nation. A bill, which was  passed by overwhelmingly majority in the US Senate, provides for revocation of a citizen's passport in the event of the delinquency of $50,000 or more on federal income taxes. Fortunately, passage in the House is questionable for now, but your government is clearly capable of anything.

We see the same types of outrageous actions taking place with government backed student loans. If you're delinquent on your educational loan, good luck getting your transcript from your private university or college. You'll quickly find that it's being held for ransom. Is this really the way we want our government to behave towards us? How much longer before a violation of Obamacare leads to passport revocation? Or perhaps, in New York City failure to eat healthy or cease smoking will lead to seizure of your tax refund? Where will it all end?

The lastest jobs number was abysmal. GM's cars are rotting in the dealer lots, and there's just too much negative news to fullly absorb. The debt in Spain falls mainly at the Fed, and there's no possibility of saving the system because it died a long time ago. There's no way to bring the Zombie Banks back to life. So start saving your silver and gold because there's going to be a major upswing shortly. Forget the short term swings, look back over the past 10 years and think where you'd be now, if only you invested in the metals. 

Ty's perspective has been proven right over and over again.

The head of commodities trading at JP Morgan, also accused by some of being the antichrist of precious metals, Blyteh Masters appears for a completely scripted interview on a financial network and proclaims that she's shocked there's gambling and manipulation taking place, because it's so illegal. JP Morgan handles customer orders and hedges. The company has no control or influence over metals prices in any market, because that wouldn't be right. The metals investors have been known to pull out the garlic necklaces and silver crosses! Masters also happened to mention that she just bought a bridge in lower Manhattan and is entertaining offers on it. She proposed setting up EZ Pass toll lanes to charge bikers and pedestrians for the right to cross. It's so comforting to know that she's looking out for the public.

Ellen Brown has been studying the government debt problem for years and believes she has a solution. Rather than governments borrowing money from banks and outsiders, they should be borrowing directly from central banks. Thus any interest owed would be paid back to the government, eliminating a large portion of the resulting debt burden. Combine this with borrowing only for projects that will generate sufficient revenues to self-liquidate the loans and you have a prescription for responsible government finance. Canada did this successfully until the 1970's, when the Bank for International Settlements stepped in and helped end the practice.

Now, Canada as well as most other developed Western nations, find themselves adopting austerity budgets, which Ellen believes will further accelerate the economic decline and have awful results. While Ellen's theory may sound much like having our cake and eating it too, it is important to understand that nothing else has even come close to working, so every possible option must be explored.

The Financial Survival Network presents another precious metals panic report:

Ty Andros, of Traderview and Tedbits, joins us for a precious metals crash report. Gold got slammed-down again, so Ty and I discuss the velocity of money, and the rapid rate at which it continues to fall. The central banks are continuing to print money, but they are actively buying in the futures exchanges. The Chinese have made an art of buying pullbacks, and the US is desperate to mask the monetization of debt. The Federal Reserve has been buying 60%to 90% of all the 10 and 30 year variety treasures, and Bernanke is now saying that gold is not money. Don't be fooled; gold is money! Precious metals have always had and will always have intrinsic value. Hold onto your physical metals because the central banks are trying to buy, buy, buy! YOU should take a page from the Feds book and buy, buy, buy physical holdings of precious metals too!

Ron Hera of www.HeraResearch.com has been sitting back, watching the carnage in the precious metals markets, looking for newly emerging bargains. The HUI Index is right around the same price it was when gold was selling at $900 per ounce. While many bemoan manipulation and market rigging, such anomalies to people like Ron are money in the bank. He doesn't believe the Fed has found Austrian Economic religion and doesn't believe they can afford to. Rather, the shift away from the dollar as the world's reserve currency could take years, or it could happen tomorrow. Either way, the metals will benefit greatly from the change. Which is why you need to be disciplined in your approach and not let the day to day market noise dissuade you from your strategy.

"Ranting" Andy Hoffman is shocked there's manipulation going on in the precious metals markets! No not really, if you've been listening to this show, you know the only time Andy is surprised is when manipulation isn't occurring. We live in an era of rigged markets, guaranteed profits to a select few, and assured losses for the rest of us. Seen in this context, with the rigged employment numbers being released upon a lazy, intellectually uncurious media, is it any wonder that these things keep on happening? That's why buying physical metal gives you the best off all possible worlds, no counter party risk and t value. What could be better than that?

FinancialSurvivalNetwork.com presents David Morgan's precious metals panic report:

Whenever the going gets tough, we count on David Morgan to help clear up the muddy waters. There's so much going on in the world right now, and it often seems impossible to make any sense out of it. David expects rough sledding for a while longer and sees that ups and downs are a necessary part of the market action. He is one of the foremost world authorities on precious metals, especially silver, and has an excellent grasp on overall market demand. His previous analyses have shown there is ample supplies of silver, largely due to the scrap market. But, certain things have changed; among them declining solar power cell demand and increased investment demand. Stay tuned for upcoming discussions of overall supply. At some point, expect industrial users to jump back into the market to secure supplies.

Chris and I called it last week. Holiday weeks are prime for metals manipulation by Da Boyz, especially when there's an employment report due as well. No need to worry, these schemes have a way of working themselves out. Look at it as an unannounced K-Mart Blue Light Special. Prices on Silver and Gold have been cut to the bone, compliments of the Fed. Just another of many subsidized buying opportunities. It's almost enough to make you believe that the government really cares about you.

Bob Chapman is unworried and unconcerned over the precious metals smack down. Many of us saw it coming from several weeks back. The markets almost always gets slammed with the monthly release of the employment survey. Combine that with a holiday week, where the markets are thinly traded, and you wind up with what we're seeing now: declining gold and silver prices and market mayhem.

Last week Peter Grandich and I made the call that this week the precious metals markets would get hammered. We noticed that holiday weeks usually bring thinly traded markets, which are ripe for manipulation and elitist raids. No sooner did we post the interview from Thurs. 3/29, then wham! The precious metals markets are behaving like Paul Volcker was just appointed Chairman of the Fed. Don't get us wrong, Bernanke is no Volcker, but this, like everything in life, is temporary...nothing has changed!
