Kerry Lutz's--Financial Survival Network

Summary:
The underlying theme of the current economic circumstance is that transitory inflation is not so transitory, and I sit down with Jim Welsh to chat about this ongoing phenomenon. It seems that inflation is either going to reach a higher level or plateau, and deflation is most likely going to be the even bigger risk at play. Listen in to hear more from myself and Welsh about what’s happening in the economy and what to expect during this tumultuous time.

Highlights:
-Transitory inflation seems to be yesterday’s meme or theme
-Now purported tapering and employment numbers have to fit within this
-It’s no coincidence that treasury yields are starting to head North
-People wanted to believe that inflation would be transitory
-Inflation is going to reach a higher level or plateau
-Deflation is probably the bigger risk—population growth and lack of productivity growth determine GDP
-We’re going to see a pop in the metals, and gold stocks will probably move higher in the next 3-5 weeks
-The economy at large is slowing
-People can’t spend their money because there is not enough supply to fulfill this

Summary:
It looks as if we had the shortest correction in history within the markets, and I sit down with financial expert Brad Williams to discuss some of these changes. Natural gas prices have gone up with the change in policy—and as a result we have seen increases in other areas as well. Williams advises that we look at the stock market from an investing standpoint rather than a trading standpoint and focus on things that generate income. Tune in to hear more useful tips and insights.

Highlights:
-It looks as if we had the shortest correction in history for the markets
-We are in for a tough winner with natural gas prices going up with the change in policy
-When fuel increases, the cost of everything else goes up
-Is the stock market just beginning to comprehend the disruptions?
-It seems like too many people are looking at the stock market from a trading standpoint and not an investing standpoint
-Un-sound economic policies have consequences
-It’s important to be defensive and look at things that generate income
-It’s hard to imagine what would happen if interest rates normalized at this point
