Summary: With increasing energy prices and the prospect of a recession, Brandon Cobb comes on the show to tell about what our options are when it comes to investing. It seems that real estate is an incredibly viable option in the current circumstances; as living standards fluctuate with the economy, the need to live ultimately never goes away. Tune in to hear more about what areas of real estate are the most promising, and how you can intelligently allocate your investments. Highlights: -The higher the energy prices go, the more likely a recession is to occur -Real estate is going to fare better than other asset classes -History doesn’t repeat itself, but it does rhyme -The need to live doesn’t ever go away—we just transition into more affordable living arrangements. Lower cost homes are going to do well -High price/custom homes are going to take a hit -Historically, storage has done really well -Assisted living facilities are positioned for great need in the real estate industry -A lot of people have been moving to Tennessee due to low income taxes -If interest rates go up, you must consider if your target audience can still afford to buy your product. That’s why Brandon’s team is staying away from the higher priced homes, and building more affordable homes -Interest rates and inflation are working against each other -Real estate is a safe haven for inflation -Brandon predicts that we’re going to have a lot of volatility; it’s best to be where the greatest demand is right now Useful Links: Financial Survival Network HBG Capital

Summary: How much longer is CPI inflation going to be in effect, and are there any solutions in sight? I sit down and chat with Drew Pelton, who brings us up to speed with the latest news regarding inflation, emphasizing that it is not transitory and is highly unpredictable at the moment. We haven’t felt the rue effects of CPI inflation yet, and the Fed continuing to raise rates isn’t contributing our awareness of the situation. Tune in for more insight. Highlights: -If you’ve gone to the store recently, you are acutely aware of CPI inflation—or loss of purchasing power of your currency -How much longer is this going to go on? -There’s no hope in the short term (over the next few months to half a year) -Inflation is not transitory, and it’s hard to predict what’s going to happen/when -We haven’t felt the true effects of CPI inflation yet -The Fed raising rates has impacted the market and demonstrated their inability to control things -Electric cars are good options at the moment, but sometimes lack utility in areas where charging options are limited -Spiking energy usage differs based on location/season -Electric demand (prior to electric cars) goes up 2% a year, and as much as 4% during more intense years -The country is starting to wake up—there has been craziness with the new administration Useful Links: Financial Survival Network Drew Pelton

Summary: As energy costs continue to skyrocket, we wonder if we can get out of the box we’ve put ourselves in and create a positive vision for the future. I have Matthew Iak on the show to discuss this energy phenomenon, and what’s in store.

Summary: Guy Baker comes on the show to discuss the progression of the markets, and how to decide what to do next in the current economical circumstances. Since the market is lacking stability at the moment, it’s best to wait for it to stabilize before jumping in; if you are already in it, however, then it’s best to stay the course. No one can time the markets with exact precision, and there are a number of factors that spontaneously affect businesses and stocks at any given time. Tune in for our in depth discussion about some of these things. Highlights: -How do you decide whether to stay or go when navigating the markets? -Markets go up and down; if you look at the history of the markets, you can identify these ups and downs. You must ask yourself whether the return on the market has been 10% throughout history, and if it is going to stay this way -If you’re in the market, stay in the market. But if you’re out of it right now, it may be best to wait for more stability before re-entering -There is no evidence that anyone can time the market effectively year in and year out—most people that encounter success in the markets just get lucky -ETFs don’t have the gains/losses or fees that mutual funds have -Picking stocks is like a gamble -You’re better off investing in a largely diversified portfolio with low fees -Stocks are based on projected income; the important consideration becomes income and appreciation -Three basic currents in the market -The markets are a willing buyer and seller that are happy -Many emotional factors dictate what happens in trading -Markets perform based on expected historical return -There isn’t much stability or support behind crypto -There’s the industrial bubble, the technological bubble, and the government bubble -Inflation is necessary in a growing, vibrant economy Useful Links: Financial Survival Network Wealth Teams

Summary: The price of gold has been resilient considering what’s happening in the markets, and the mining sector has been thrown out with the growth stocks. Will the mining stocks start making money any time soon? I sit down and chat with Gwen Preston, known as the ‘Resource Maven,’ and she explains how investing methods have largely shifted as a result of the pandemic. With the prevalence of big tech stocks and the impact on the US dollar, the metals have taken a hit. Is there a light at the end of the tunnel? Tune in to find out. Highlights: -Gold has done well considering the impact on the US dollar -Gold is getting a safe haven bid -From the pandemic to the end of 2021, gold got good bids -A billion dollars flowed out of mining stocks; the broad markets were still doing what they’ve done -Big tech stocks performed well during the pandemic due to people staying at home and relying more on technology -Have cryptocurrencies messed up people’s attention spans and caused a lack of future planning with investing? It seems that the cycle is out of touch with conventional/current investor expectations and timing -Some people who haven’t had to learn the bad lessons (such as those back in 2009) may learn their first one now -Finance has been reduced down to apps Useful Links: Financial Survival Network Resource Maven

Tier One Silver’s CEO Peter Dembicki and SVP of Exploration Christian Rios sat down with us for a sponsor update. The excitement was palpable as Peter explained that the company had entered into a community agreement which will allow for exploration of the Ñañohuayco, San Cipriano and Morro Culispata copper-nickel-platinum-palladium-silver prospects. This clears the way Tier One to start surface work and drilling (once the permit is issued). The excitement is clearly warranted. In 2009 an initial 10 hole 1,061 meter drill program by the previous operator intersected 14 m of 2.59% copper, 0.62% nickel, 311 g/t cobalt, 0.3 g/t platinum and 0.55 g/t palladium, making this is a high priority target. . SVP Rios is anxious to get exploration started. Previously, he was involved in the world-class discovery of the Santa Ana and Corani silver-lead-zinc deposits. His decades of Peruvian experience combined with his extensive exploration, mining development and operations background make him a vital part of the team. He observes that, “[Just] 1000 meters has been drilled. We need to continue this. There’s an area which has values up to 44% copper [emphasis added].” There’s no telling how rich and productive Hurricane will become. Peter and Christian are moving ahead quickly; drilling will start shortly and results will then follow. Which is why we’re long-term holders of Tier One shares. www.TierOneSilver.com Ticker Symbols – OCTQB: TSLVF and TSX-V: TSLV

Summary: Are markets returning back to normal, or are we in the eye of the storm? I sit down and chat with John Rubino about some of the latest happenings in the economy—some pointing to stability, and some alluding to the chaos to ensue. We discuss stablecoins, gas prices, and the most recent shifts in global currencies that present numerous potential outcomes for the markets. Tune in for more expert knowledge. Highlights: -NFTs don’t make a lot of sense from an investing standpoint -Stablecoins are versions of Bitcoin; they are an asset that trade on the blockchain, but they represent something else; they were a vehicle for moving money all over the world -One stablecoin blew up that was set up to maintain the value of the stablecoin at one dollar. A lot of Bitcoin was purchased to back it, but then it tanked -The ‘everything bubble’ may be bursting; peripheral assets are behaving badly -Think about what you own and how you can invest it; consider your gold and silver as money -Gas prices hit record highs this week all over the country -Taking out a mortgage to bet against the dollar is risky -There is a big diesel shortage in the US; we don’t have enough diesel processing power, and can’t build new plants -There is a lot more demand for Roubles in the global market, which is strengthening its exchange rate -We will see energy prices spiking and interest rates being raised in Europe Useful Links: Financial Survival Network Dollar Collapse

Lawrence Lepard believes that at the base layer the monetary system we have is, is probably the largest single causation of the difficulties that we're facing as a society. And it's really getting obvious and clear right now, as we're seeing these markets blow up, you know, the bond market blow up the stock market, blow up the third bubble in 26 years. Now we have housing. Now we've got the sovereign credit, everything bubble and it's blowing up and the reason it's blowing up as you can't taper a Ponzi and you know, the fed has created a Ponzi scheme with their paper. And they got to either keep printing, in which case it's going to become more worthless or they got to try and stop printing. Good luck on that. Lawrence shares much more wisdom in this interview and is a favored guest. www.FinancialSurvivalNetwork.com

Summary: I sit down and chat with Dr. Rufus Ranking, Tactical asset allocation expert, to discuss what you can do in consideration of the turmoil the markets have been facing over the last few weeks. This method is a variation on strategic allocation, but is a lot more adapted. Exposure is reduced as assets become more volatile, which increases chances for success. Tune in for more insight. Highlights: -There’s been dramatic market turmoil in the last few weeks. What could you have done in anticipation of this, and what can you do now? -Tactical asset allocation is a variation on strategic allocation, but we’re more frequently updating our estimates on what the world looks like -It’s a lot more adapted; most of these approaches reduce exposure to assets as they become more volatile and go into negative territory -Most TAA approaches focus more on price/price-related data -Focus on price levels, recent returns, volatility, etc. -You get most of the upside and a lot less of the downside, and get the main trend right most of the time -When things are risky, you can reduce your exposure -Basic approach is to look at volatility in basic assets -Most TAA approaches use relative strength and time series momentum -Rufus has been applying these strategies for close to 20 years Useful Links: Financial Survival Network Sidepocket
