Fred Manske, Jr., has held a number of high ranking positions in large corporations. He's come to the realization that the only way to succeed in business and to stay successful is by maintaining high ethical standards and showing decency in all of your business dealings. He thinks that the current business climate, typified most by Wall Street, is a large factor in what's driving the economy and the world down. But decency is infectious and once you start doing it, it's impossible to go back, so Fred is optimistic about the future.

David Gurwitz of Charless Nenner Research joined us for a market forecast review. Nenner is predicting major blood in the streets. The Dow and the economy are both headed dramatically lower. Interestingly, he doesn't attribute this state of affairs to political leadership or to market trends. Rather, he follows cycles, some hundreds of years in the making, to determine the future direction of numerous markets. His calls have been quite prescient too, recently he called Apple's top at 707. Before that he was urging clients to get out of the market in 2007, right before the crash. Whether you believe in cycles or not, his research warrants a look.

Danielle Park and I had our first online debate. It worked well because we both have total respect for one another and we really enjoy each other's company. On the subject of the numerous health and public welfare initiatives led by New York City's Mayor Michael Bloomberg, we vehemently disagreed with each other's position. Danielle is of the opinion that since the public purse is involved, the government has the right to dictate behavior to ignorant citizens. My belief is that the government shouldn't be involved in these matters in the first place and that it's up to the individual to regulate her own behavior. One thing we did agree upon is that I need to lose weight. Danielle suggested acquiring a juicer and I may take her up on that.

Whether it's the food you eat, the booze you drink, the information you ingest, the funds you invest or the education your children get, fraud has become the overwhelming business model of the Unite States and the World. Your best defense to food fraud is to buy local and keep food choices simple. For investing, you already know our opinion. As far as the rest goes, you'll have to figure it out on your own. Right now 5 states are trying to outlaw food whistleblowers. They obviously don't want you to know the truth. And that has become government's overiding purpose, keeping you from the truth!

Bron Sucieki is head of strategy for the world known Perth Mint. He went into an exhaustive explanation of why the precious metals markets have been in such turmoil as of late. The ability of large hedge funds and investment groups to pour money into markets at a moment's notice, going either long or short, makes markets etremely volatile. In addition, these investors play a game of follow the leader which has them moving money based on momentum rather than market fundamentals. How much longer this behavior will last is an open question. Probably until it no longer works.

Jason Hartman has been in real estate for over 20 years. During this time he's helped thousands of investors build wealth through his simple system. He believes that owning gold, silver, platinum, palladium and real estate are the keys to building wealth and keeping even in an awful economy. There's no other investment that enables you to profit from inflationnary forces than real estate. You get to pay back your debt in greatly depreciated dollars. The strategy has worked for decades and is still working today.

The Euro is crumbling. So is the yen. The beneficiary is the dollar which has been going up. This is the future of things to come. There's no turning back now. Money printing is out of control and so is sovereign debt. This will eventually lead to some type of debt jubilee, either total or paritial, but there's really no other way out. Governments, by their very nature, will always spend more than they have and make up the difference by taxing and borrowing. No one in government ever wants to tell people that the party is over. Therefore, it goes on and on until there's a major crash and the system has to be reset. According to Martin, it's down the road a ways, but not too far.

Ranting Andy Hoffman was in rare form today. We talked about the upcoming bankruptcy of New York State and others. We covered Europe's continued economic slide into oblivion and we discussed the Chinese Real Estate Bubble as faithfully reported by CBS 60 Minutes. Things aren't looking, but at least Andy's gold is safe in Brink's Canada's Montreal vault. He actually visited it and counted it up. In addition, more forced sequestration cuts are coming to a government near you. Where we go from here isn't certain, but gold and silver could be your best defense.

This week Michigan's governor Rick Snyder reluctantly appointed an Emergency Manager to run the failed city of Detroit. The manager will have sweeping powers that allow him to void contracts, lay-off employees, reorganize entire departments and basically do whatever he pleases. Whether this will allow the city to avoid bankruptcy is an open question. Detroit is $14 billion in debt with no way out. Population in the last 60 years has declined from 1.8 million to around 700,000 today. At this rate someone will truly have turn off the lights after the last person leaves, except that scavengers will have stolen all the copper wiring before that happens.

John Rubino of DollarCollapse joined us today to discuss exactly what's going on in the economy. While GDP decreased last quarter, you can expect it to decline further for the current quarter. The universal tax increases have kicked in with a vengeance and we're not seeing an uptick in employment to offset them. In addition, government spending is declining which is a definite current drag on the economy, even if it's good for the long run. John and I are expecting more of the same for the rest of 2013, with the rate of descent picking up steam throughout. But don't expect your government to give you the straight story. It ain't gonna happen, governments always tell you what they think you want to hear.

Back by popular demand, Tom Dyson head of the Palm Beach Letter explains how a boring, investment in life insurance could be your ticket to a very comfortable retirement. Tom compares whole life insurance to mutual funds, and while you might get lucky and get stellar returns on a good fund, over time the fees are going to kill your rate of return. With whole life, you pay the fees up front and over time your investment results may far out perform most funds. You'll also get a death benefit that can benefit your family and you can borrow funds as necessary without decreasing the policies guaranteed returns. Many of the best insurance companies have been around more than a century and have survived major economic disruptions. You shouldn't put all your eggs in one basket, but insurance can be a part of the equation.
