Bix joined us for another mind bending interview. It's coming, you can be certain of that. Just how much chaos is humanity capable of withstanding? We'll know the answer soon enough. Will it shift us all to a higher state of consciousness? We can only hope. Bix believes that it's probably going to happen after Trump is in inaugurated. Mnuchin, incoming Treasury Sec is just a sacrificial lamb. It's gonna get interesting real fast! Buckle you seat belts!

Danielle joined us for a discussion of the world's debt ills today. BMW was just slammed in Australia for the equivalent of predatory lending. In the US the trillion dollar college debt bubble is teetering. And US subprime auto lending isn't doing to well either. No doubt there's plenty of other debt bubbles just waiting their turn, or perhaps they'll all go at once. One thing is for certain, no one is addressing the problem and today's lax lending standards are just compounding the problem. At some point the debt edifice is going to come crashing down.

Mark W. Shaw has just written his 25th book, The Reporter Who Knew Too Much. It deals with the mysterious death of investigative reporter Dorothy Kilgallen. She was hot on the trail of the JFK Assassination story, having interviewed Jack Ruby (Lee Harvey Oswald's Killer) twice. Then she turned up dead in her hotel room, the victim of an alcohol and drug overdose. However, new evidence shows that she had three different types of barbiturates in her blood stream. A cover-up seems apparent. Mark believes that it's time for the truth to come out.

Mark Podolsky was trapped in a job he really hated. He was barely making ends meet and was fighting with his wife about the price of baby food. That was over a decade ago. Then he discovered land investing and everything has changed. 5000 deals later, now he's teaching others to do what he's done. It's easier than flipping houses, you don't have to worry about termites, tenants and toilets. Just find the property, buy it and sell it! It's that easy, if you know the right system. And now he's become the Loan Geek! It's an amazing story.

Ned joined us today. The Trump rally has taken $100 off the price of gold. It's an irrational reaction to his election. He's not driving it down much more than that. The dollar's rally has probably has gone as far as it can. How much more can it possibly go? The ratio of gold to the S&P has hit a major low point. This isn't a time indicator, but rather a value indicator. At some point it will correct and correlate. The coming rate hike is baked into the price of gold so don't expect a major reaction on December 14, 2016 when the Fed meets. New bull market in agricultural commodities is coming. Average gain for ag commodities from their lows is 22%. A good indicator. Worth keeping an eye on.

Noted financial advisor Jeffrey Small believes that the Trump Rally is real. The policies that he intends to put in place are already showing results in higher consumer confidence. Jeff expects this trend to continue after the inauguration. However, he sees the best investments in fixed income, fixed yield investments. While the economy may do better, it won't necessarily kick into high gear. Time to be safe rather than sorry.

John notices that whenever anything happens that should kill the stock markets and increase the price of gold, the opposite happens. The Italians reject a pro-EU measure and the Euro goes up. Is there a method to this madness? Perhaps the Gods really are crazy.

What is Doctor Copper trying to tell us? It was up 20% for the month. Energy rose as well with WTI up 5.4% and Henry Hub up 8.6%. Stock markets were all up with the exception of TSX.V and the Emerging Markets. The Russell 2000 led the way with an 11% gain. USD was up 3.1% and EU was down 3.4%. The dollar is king for now. Bitcoin was up again 6.4%. Uranium hit the skids down 5%. And finally, interests rates on the 10 year were way up to 2.37%, blame it all on Trump!

Pet Hug has been in the precious metals sector since 1974. He's one of those rare individuals who experienced the last bull market and crash. Armed with this knowledge he's particularly well-suited to have a clear perspective of the current market. And he's Director of Trade for Kitco Metal, and everyone who listens to this show knows Kitco. Peter's guardedly optimistic on Gold for the coming year for many reasons, among them the propensity of central banks to inflate their way out of any economic slow down. With Peter's long involvement in the sector, I wouldn't bet against him.

Aaron Clarey, a/k/a Captain Capitalism, is at it again. He's got a solution for the nation's pending debt implosion. Rather than cut spending or fuel economic growth, sound goals in and of themselves, the Captain proposes that the Fed simply print up another $20 trillion over time and buy up stocks around the globe. Over time its portfolio would yield huge dividend income and presumably appreciation, as they bid up the price of the entire market. In fact, Japan and other countries are already doing this. Can it work or could it just accelerate our march to financial oblivion? We'll probably never find out.

Chip Lake, noted political consultant sees the role of the mainstream or legacy media becoming redundant. As their hostility and ignoble agenda becomes more obvious by the day, Trump will by-pass them altogether and real social media directly to the people. Why go through a distorted media filter that is hostile to his interests and the country's? Stay tuned because there's a new era of political discourse on the horizon.

Wayne Allyn Root joined us today to bask in the glory of the Trump victory that he called so long ago. There was plenty of vote fraud, but not enough to deny him the victory. Now they're starting with idiotic recounts to taint his presidency but again they will meet with failure. And don't expect Mitt Willard Romeny to be Secretary of State. Wayne says it ain't gonna happen.

Black Friday was a big hit raising sales up to $551,000 and the store goes on and on. Mike discussed the new Amazon Product Review Policy or change to the terms of service as it's called in the trade. What this means is that Amazon now provides that sellers cannot furnish free or discounted products and require the recipient to write a review. This assures that the buyer's review is genuine and not simply the result of barter. In addition, the disclaimer requirement embedded in the review stating that, "This product was received for free or at a discount, " has been eliminated. Overall it's a net positive because these types of reviews will have more credibility.

Dr. Gerard Lameiro called 46 out of 50 states before election night. Without voter fraud he might have called them all. Rasmussen Polling even sent him congrats. He and I believed that Trump was going to win the election almost from the beginning. Now Trump has triumphed and they're trying to recount his victory out of existence. But it's not going work, it's too little too late!

A one of my favorite performers, Will Rogers said, "Every time Congress passes a law it becomes a joke and every they make a joke, it becomes a law." John and I have hit upon a unique solution to ill-governance, the Comedian Party. With the possible upcoming Italian election of funny man Beppe Grillo and the recent election of reality tv start Donald Trump, the benefits are becoming quite clear. Comedians are the least likely to bring a country to war. They have the unique ability to make people laugh in the most miserable of situations and their best humor is based upon current events. Here there's no shortage of material for sure, so let's start electing people who have a sense of humor, asap!

Damion Lupo joined us for a post election review and what you need to do to take advantage of the coming opportunities. It's the age of the entrepreneur and a lot of the victim mentality and working the system will be gone soon. The producers will once again reign supreme. And we can hardly wait.

If you can find a better precious metals forecaster than Erik Hadek, I'd like to know. When we first talked to him about a year ago, he said that 2016 was going to be a great year for precious metals. Shortly thereafter, gold and silver took off. Then he warned that an intermediate market peak was coming and sure enough like clockwork it happened or is happening now. But wait for 2017. Erik believes that precious metals and commodities are set to take off and the rally will continue in 2018. He believes metals will perform better than mining stocks over this time period. So get ready!

Bob Hoye is first and foremost an economic historian. The situation that we currently find ourselves in has happened many times before. He's been saying for years that during these credit busts, the reserve currency is always the beneficiary. We're seeing that situation now. Down the road, he sees gold's purchasing power increasing, even if its dollar price doesn't. The situation will take a long time to improve. Adjustments must be made.

According to historic cycles, the economy almost invariably heads into a recession after a two term president's last term. This combined with the promises that President-Elect Trump has made could make for difficult sledding ahead. How much can the government really do to avoid recession? Danielle thinks not so much. Danielle is very skeptical of Trump's ability to deliver the change he promised. Will he go after reforming Wall Street at the expense of Main Street or will he let them know there's a new sheriff in town? She sees troubling signs that it will be business as usual after the inauguration. Stay tuned!
