Summary:
John Rubino joins us in this episode to unpack the emerging banking crisis, which has become extremely prevalent recently. Last month, Jim Cramer said that Silicon Valley Bank was the pick of the decade, and this week, it ceases to exist. The same is true for Signature Bank, which was the only other bank that went bankrupt this week—making that two failed picks from Jim Cramer in the span of a year. It seems that the banks’ delayed reactions to yield curve inversion have created confusion and misleading outlooks on the economy. The yield curve inversion did not hurt the banks immediately, but we are now at the point of inversion where it does start to hurt the banks. Furthermore, even if a capitulation comes sooner rather than later, we will still see a recession this year—dissolving the illusion that we’ve been living under for so long. Tune in for more insight.

Torq Resources’(🇺🇸TRBMF -- 🇨🇦TORQ) CEO and Chair Shawn Wallace joined us for a sponsor update. Fresh off a C$6.26 financing, the company is flush with cash. A fully funded 15,000 meter drill program focused on their Santa Cecilia Project has commenced. The project has been progressing rapidly. Challenges have arisen, ” … mostly external to the project. In a normal world, which we certainly aren't right now … we could have done it more quickly, but you can't really speed up the science and the process to make good decisions”, CEO Wallace stated.

In the face of these challenges, the company’s Chilean team picked up the baton and ran with it. According to Wallace, they are equal to or superior to any talent he’s worked with. While it’s been over a decade since the discovery was made, he observes that, “We have the privilege of following up on historical work that defined 1.5 km of continuous vertical mineralization, starting at surface in an epithermal gold system and then transitioned into copper porphyry mineralization. There are multiple porphyry centers on this project, so this is only the beginning of a significant drill campaign...” The first two drill holes will take place in the Cerro del Medio target, which is centrally located on the project.

Torq has strong local community backing. Chile is stable. The Chilean People made their voice heard during the recent referendum. Now it’s a matter of waiting for the drill results, which should prove that Torq is extremely undervalued. Other companies are watching the project closely. With end users around the world stepping up to insure reliable sources of EV metals, Torq’s market position could get very interesting very quickly.

Interest rates continue to go up, and the Fed is promising another 50 basis point hike. How is this affecting the real estate market, and is real estate still the place to be? Here to tackle this topic is Real Estate Investor James Dainard, who sheds light on the ways that the Fed rate hikes have impacted real estate in the Pacific Northwest. Higher interest rates have slowed down the disposition, creating more expenses, and have greatly affected the value of flipped homes—especially in the beginning. James says that, although we have yet to see the end of rate increases, there is always a way to make a return in real estate. Transitions in the market unveil opportunities in different places, and James discusses some of these. Tune in for more insight.

Is there a financial crash in our future? Michael Markowski has predicted all three major crashes since 2007, and appears in this episode to tell us why we’re on the road to another. He makes a couple of significant predictions: a 69% decline from the peak to the trough for the S&P 500 and a third US Great Depression that will set in by the end of the year. Michael describes some of the ways in which the S&P 500 can go down by a minimum of 45% (which is required for a depression to occur) and that this decline can be anticipated by understanding investor psychology. Secular markets in particular condition investors to be either fearful or greedy, shifting attitudes towards risk. Michael discusses his company, AlphaTack, and their algorithm-backed strategies that introduce investors to hedge funds with the goal of “growing assets against the wind.” He explains how they integrate in-depth research and market data to provide solutions to investors, and names some sectors and allocation targets they’re working with. Tune in to this episode for expert insight on the crash, and tips on how to prepare.

Summary:
As the Fed prepares to raise interest rates at least 50 points higher, everyone is wondering what lies in store for housing, the economy, and our portfolios. Here to discuss this is Anthony Saccaro, financial expert and founder of Providence Financial & Insurance Services. The plan to continually hike up interest rates is designed to lower inflation to 2% or 3%, but this will inevitably fuel a recession. The length and depth of this recession ultimately depends on how much longer the battle for inflation goes, and low unemployment seems to be keeping inflation high. Tough times ahead imply that it is essential to reconsider investing strategies, and Anthony assures us that we can count on interest and dividends for now. Tune in for more information on what’s to come.

Carl Delfeld joins us in this episode to discuss the ramifications of the Ukraine war to the US, Russia, and China, and its role in the ongoing struggle for power. The situation at hand has allowed China to rise up even more, and Carl contends that it will be easy for them to dominate Eurasia, as they are already a superpower in Asia to some degree. They are still facing their own challenges, however, specifically with the real estate market and accumulation of debt. Moreover, Carl says that the biggest mistake would be for the US to become complacent, and emphasizes the need for smart diplomacy moving forward. Tune in for more insight.

We received the latest Purchasing Managers’ Index report on Friday—which was anything but inspiring. Russell Stone comes on the show to talk about where these numbers come from and the motivation behind them.A deeper look into each of the economic trends makes it apparent that they are skewed towards optimism and distort the reality the situation. Russell points out that a lot of focus is placed on the sectors that are performing well, while the struggling sectors are somewhat ignored. This creates misdirection, and fails to shed light on the real problems at hand. With debt skyrocketing and nothing to back the US dollar, more and more countries pull away from our national currency. A precarious future awaits…Tune in for more insight.

We’re in a short term economic deflationary cycle that is becoming visible in multiple areas, but housing affordability in the US is at an all-time low nonetheless. We’re headed into a recession sometime this year, which will wake people up to a lot of the problems that have persisted for over a decade and are finally coming to light.

I sit down and chat with Michael Moor to address the uncertainty of the markets—which have been all over the place recently. We go over a series of charts, starting with energy; Natgas hit a bottom and is now heading up. And it looks as if oil could be heading lower for a while. Michael points out the three different time frames of biases, and explains why the bearish bias is on a hold at the moment. We should receive clarity on the direction of the trend within the next couple of weeks, and it’s important to be aware of what the cracks are doing. Furthermore, Michael offers some strategies for gold, and he advises picking certain spots to buy against and pay for your trade. Ultimately, looking at the market on a daily/weekly basis is the only way to to truly understand where your risk is. Tune in for more insight.

Marco Dondi appeared on the show a year ago to discuss his book, Outgrowing Capitalism, which suggests a re-consideration of the financial system and money allocation for smoother transitions within the global economy. Since we last spoke to him, a lot has taken place, but there has been very little change with regard to how monetary policy is conducted. We have officially hit the ceiling of money creation that our economy can sustain, and one burning question determines what comes next: How do we pull back? Tune in to this episode to find out.

Despite news about about mass layoffs and declining job numbers, we still saw a stellar labor report last month. What can we gather from these manipulated statistics? Gordon T. Long joins us in this episode to shed some light on the confusing circumstances—consisting of employment numbers so large that feelings about whether or not the Fed was going to pivot (and how soon) reversed entirely. It’s clear that they’re pushing a false narrative, and despite big goals to lower inflation, we will be lucky to get it down to 4%. Furthermore, economic factors such as globalization, financialization, and mercantilism have all endured massive changes—priming us for an era of stagnation. Tune in for more expert insight.

Is the inflation scare over, or has the true scare yet to come? John Rubino joins me in this episode to discuss numerous factors that allude to the worsening of inflation before anything remotely positive takes place. The economy needs to roll over in order for the Fed to go back to easing; in this case, a good jobs report and housing report promote further tightening. This is bad news all across the board because we’ve already tightened enough to trigger a recession—with the effects are showing in the housing industry, automotive industry, and many other areas. Will we ever escape the feedback loop that ends in disaster? Tune in to find out.

Does the government want to solve the inflation problem, or do they need it to stay this way for a bit? Eddy Gifford comes on the show to discuss this topic, and points out the contradictory effects in place. Powell has stated that their primary goal is to fix inflation, but interest rates keep going up. This means that the stock market could roll over and push up the cost of housing—which is one of the primary indicators in the CPI. Interest rates are ultimately defeating ht purpose of what they’re trying to accomplish, and thus, it’s important to protect yourself during this time. Eddy recommends having a proactive investment strategy and paying off debts. In addition, investors should look towards treasuries and annuities to prioritize liquidity in particular.

Dennis Tubbergen—and Austrian School of Economics Devotee, Retirement Planner, and prolific Author—joins us in this episode to discuss why planning for retirement today is different than it was during your parents’ generation. Changes in the economy over many years demand a strategic shift, and Dennis came up with revenue sourcing to reflect patterns within currency and the broader economy. He suggests designing an income map that accounts for how much you’ll need during retirement, and owning a bucket of assets linked to something tangible that will perform well in an inflationary environment.

Where are precious metals prices heading, and will they have any effect on the junior mining sector? David Erfle comes on the show to talk about the current frustration in the sector, which is unsurprising when we account for past, present, and future factors shaping the metals industry. Gold price went up $350 in 3 months after a false breakdown, and made a 55% move over 4 months in the stocks. In addition, we’re seeing merging and acquisition as well as the return to gold amid destruction of the global economic system. It seems that gold always does what it should, but never when we expect it to, so it’s crucial to be ready when the correction finally comes to an end. Tune in for more insight.

Not more than two weeks after we last spoke with Chris Simmons, the author of Castro’s Nemesis, one of the Cuban spies he helped catch was released from prison. After serving 20 years, the Pentagon and Justice Department were focused on getting this spy a plea agreement, and she pled guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit espionage. Cooperation was difficult to foster in the early stages of interrogation, but through various strategies, their expert team was able to gradually gather information. Furthermore, Chris talks about international relations, and differing views amongst nations regarding what espionage comprises. Tune in for more insight from a master spycatcher.

Will the January effect carry through to February? It looks like the trend has run its course, but Chris Vermeulen comes on the show to talk about what’s in store for the rest of the year—including a possible rebound in the coming months. Growth stocks are performing better with a significant amount of money flowing into them, and we’re seeing what Chris calls a “complacency rally.” There’s been a lot of pressure on gold, silver, and miners as the US dollar starts to rally, and growth stocks are holding up despite fear in the market. Interest rate hikes will continue, but Chris says that we could see everything come full circle by the end of the year. If we can survive the dip and avoid panicking at the.bottom, we might just have a decent year. Tune in for more insight.
