Looks like we're not gonna dodge a bullet on this one. Hurricane Irma is headed straight for FL. Where it goes from there is anyone's guess. It's got the potential to become a CAT 5 storm, the worst possible. I'm debating whether to go or to stay. Not sure what to do. What would you do? I'm 11 miles from the ocean, but it won't be far enough.

Welfare state in NY is buzzing along as expected. Now Legal Aid is suing the City trying to get rights for homeless tenants who's rent is being paid for by the taxpayers. They want them to be protected by rent stabilization, a right that's thus far only been enjoyed by paying tenants. Whatever happened to beggars can't be choosers? 

Finally gold keeps going up. $1376 is the magic number/resistance point. Where will it go from there?

Author Jim Mosquera joined us. He's got a new book out: Escaping Oz: An Observer’s Reflections which is a companion book to the rest of the Escaping Oz series. In today's economic and political climate, protecting yourself means asking the right questions. You can't ask the right questions if your mind's encumbered by what you think you may understand. Who's the man behind the curtain? What's this thing we call money? It's not what you think. Is there really such a thing as a trillion dollar coin? And interesting interview. 

First it was Hurricane Harvey, now we're looking at Hurricane Irma. Then there's North Korea in the background threatening a global conflagration. What can the US do about it? Are we getting to the point where events are rapidly cascading out of control? Has it become obvious that markets and Mother Nature are way more powerful than the desires of man? Let's see what happens next.

Ned Schmidt joined us today. He's bullish on precious metals. Due to Hurricane Harvey and the upcoming disaster of Hurricane Irma, the Fed will be printing money non-stop for years to come. You see it in the sudden rise of the Looney and Aussie Dollar. He's not too enthused about my concept of the tulip backed crypto-currency. Try buying a beer or a cup of coffee with one and see what happens. In other matters, Hurricane Irma's path could lead it to do widespread crop damage right at the harvest. No one knows where it goes after Florida. Agricultural commodities were on a tear before the hurricanes, but have taken a breather. Let's see what happens next.
