Since we started talking with Martin Armstrong years ago, he's been adamant in his belief that the stock market was heading higher. And he's been right. Perhaps it hasn't gone up as fast as he expected, but it has continued to make new highs. He's not backing down now. Businesses and the wealthy are putting their money into the market because they've lost confidence in governments around the globe. They believe their capital is safer in the stock market than in government bonds, the Euro, European Banks and elsewhere. Governments are on a rampage against the populace. It's all about survival. In their current configuration, they cannot survive. They're in an unsustainable death spiral. But rather than admit that and restructure, they have gone the route of confiscation and authoritarianism. In the long run it won't work, but for now they've got nothing to lose. |

Credit cycles are shifting and yields are going up. The so-called recovery has just about run its course. Credit is going to become harder to get, so get it while you can. This means that defaults are going to start becoming a more regular phenomena at all levels of society, private, corporate and governmental. The dollar will continue to do well as will precious metals and the mining sector. Not exactly what Wall Street is espousing. |

Trump's been in office a little more than two months. He's done a number of things right, such as his cabinet appointments, executive orders and regulatory roll-backs. However, his White House Staff is strictly minor league. They don't know how to get things done and it shows. Will he rebound from his early errors? The jury is still out, but perhaps now is the time for a little humility and a staff reorganization. |

Unlike Obama, Trump is promising true transformation. Obama promised more and faster socialism, Trump is looking for a complete redefinition of the relationship between the government and society.

Does the old Wall Street maxim Three Steps and a Stumble still apply? Danielle believes that the more things change the more they stay the same. The stock market has so far overshot all traditional measures of value that a bear market has become virtually inevitable. It all comes down to when. Danielle has been in the business a long time and has seen manic cycles come and go and they all wind up the same way. There's no reason why this one should end differently. This time will not be different. |

Alasdair MacLeod of Goldmoney.com sat down with us today. There's so many problems besetting the world, it's hard to know where to start. Mass surveillance has us thinking that Orwell's 1984 was actually a Utopian Tome. Gold and silver look set to strengthen for the rest of the year as the dollar is set to weaken. The Trumphoric rise could well be coming to an end. Hard to tell right now. Where do we go from here? Until monetary systems are reformed, it's very likely to be more of the same. |

Wall Street first and foremost sells dreams. The Trump dream has begun to fade. John believes that the jubilation that greeted Trump's election by the business community is starting to be confronted by reality. His agenda was fully priced into the market. Now with the defeat of the Obamacare Repeal the market is doing a double take. What will happen with tax reform and infrastructure? His entire agenda is now in question. |

It took long enough to happen but Millennials are finally entering the home buying market. And on this first day of Spring that is welcomed news. "Today begins the hottest home buying period of the year and we may have finally turned the corner when it comes to the next big wave of home buyers," says VP of Residential Home Funding in Pasipanny, NJ Ralph DiBugnara. |

The death of the middle class is really happening now, literally. White middle aged males are dying at an alarmingly high rate. Totally messing with the mortality tables. As Hemingway said when asked how he went bankrupt in The Sun Also Rises, "Two ways, gradually and then suddenly." It's one thing to never have anything, but it's another altogether to have and then to lose it all. That's what the middle class has been experiencing and why they elected Donald Trump. But the market and perhaps the middle class is in for a rude awakening. Perhaps no one can solve these insoluble problems, not even The Donald! |

The Market has been doing nothing but going up for the past 9 years. Will it keep going up? Rick says let's wait and see. Gold has been in the doldrums for the past 5 years, time to go up, let's wait and see. Oil too has been in the doldrums, let's wait and see. Same for the dollar and treasuries, we're in a period right now where things can go either way. Interesting times! |

When Jordan Goodman last came on the show he was very optimistic over the Trump Bump. Things were looking up. The economy seemed to be coming out of its shell. What a difference a month makes. Now Jordan's concerned that the Trump agenda is flagging and that perhaps the tax cuts, infrastructure bill and health care reform won't go through. But as Yogi Berra used to say, "It ain't over till it's over," and the fat lady has yet to sing. The market has been doing nothing but going up for the past 9 years so perhaps it's taking a minor breather. Let's see what happens next. |

With Israel headlining the news cycle and Trump vowing to back Israeli 100%, David Brog’s new book is crucial now more than ever—no history is so disputed as the history of Israel. Some see Israel's creation as a dramatic act of justice for the Jewish people. Others insist that it was a crime against Palestine's Arabs. Author and founder of Christians United for Israel David Brog untangles the facts from the myths to reveal the truth about the Arab-Israeli conflict. |

Bix Weir believes that President Trump is preparing for the collapse. He's simply waiting for his people to be installed. That leaves him right now trying to stave it off until that happens. Steve Mnuchin is the main blocker. After all, Bix says he was the head of market rigging during his tenure at Goldman Sachs. Bix sees Bitcoin gaining more and more acceptance and eventually becoming the global reserve currency. China is preparing for it right now. It's all about the blockchain, which insures integrity and prevents fraud. But silver is going to be very valuable under any circumstances as will gold. |

Once upon a time, you went to college, got a degree and found success in life. Now it's different. Tuition is through the roof and so is debt. Massive student loans, second mortgages and for what? Parent retirement goes out the window. Illinois's finances have led to greater unaffordability of its state schools. This has led to staff layoffs and no more tenure. Cheaper teachers and lower quality education. What's a central planner to do? Is it any wonder why the globe is embracing nationalist candidates and drastic solutions? |

Let's face it, California is on the skids. Pension debt is out of control. Infrastructure is crumbling. The governor inhabits an alternative reality and the legislature seems to have been consuming too much marijuana before it became legal. Now we can only imagine how much their consumption will increase. Companies are fleeing and taking jobs with them. 9000 companies have left the state in the last 5 years. A record to be proud of. |

Gold and silver have been showing surprising strength, but it's not surprising to Ned Schmidt. He's been expecting it all along. He's very pessimistic on dollar. Ned sees a major bull market forming in agricultural commodities. Corn and soybeans are the next commodities that will see a run up. China is coming back big, buying up agricultural products, especially corn. It's been two years since that happened. Unfortunately, Ned says that the ag stocks are overvalued so you have to play the commodities to profit. |

Everyone hates Donald Trump, they always have and they always will. Nonetheless, he won and he keeps winning. All his friends left him. But he still keeps going. It doesn't matter what the critics say, they don't matter, they need to be ignored. Just carry on with your agenda and let the chips fall where they may. |

Precious metals and mining stocks' prices often move together, but not always. Eric Hadik has been warning that this will be one of those times. He sees metals moving higher in the second half of the year into 2018. Not so for the stocks, at least at the present time. They could be subject to stock market movements that send them lower at first. Eric believes that March is a pivotal time for the stock markets and caution is the byword. Will this present a major buying opportunity as it has often done in the past? Talk to you in July. |

Obama's third term has begun. Our Republic is in danger. A few weeks after the election, I warned that Obama was planning to run the country from outside the White House. And that the "Obama Anonymous" network of staffers embedded in the government was the real threat. Since then, Obama's Kalorama mansion has become a shadow White House. And the Obama Anonymous network is doing everything it can to bring down an elected government. After Trump secured the nomination, Obama's people filed a wiretapping request. As he was on the verge of winning, they did it again. After he won, they've been doing everything they can to bring him down. It was always going to come down to this. |

Recently we wrote about President Trump’s workaholic constitution and how the media had yet to grasp its potentially negative impact upon their lives. Finally, they’re starting to get it. The Washington Post’s Erik Wemple wrote “…journalists tasked with covering Donald Trump’s White House are growing weary thanks to the ‘unsustainable’ pace the president is setting – with long days ‘ruined weekends’ and ‘unpredictable’ moves.” His conclusion, Trump may outlast the White House Press Corps. We can only hope! Then we discussed VistaGold. A junior miner with a great project, money in the bank and a strong management team. They're having a Town Hall Call on Thursday, March 16, 2017 @ 2:15pm eastern time. Just click here to find out more. US Attorney for the Southern District of New York has been fired by President Trump/Attorney General Jeff Sessions. What affect will that have upon the possible prosecution of Comrade deBlasio? This remains to be seen. There's lot's more here. Enjoy! |

Gone are the days when shopping centers and malls were the most secure real estate investment and loan that banks and insurance companies had on their books. With thousands of stores closing across the country, retail properties are plunging in value. Online shopping hasn't helped either. Mall owners don't know what to do. This has led to many of them simply mailing in the keys to their lenders, otherwise known as jingle mail. With big changes happening in the workplace, office space doesn't look too secure either. Get ready for a tsunami of commercial real estate loan write-downs. |
