Legendary investor Frank Holmes returned to discuss the latest developments at his cryptocurrency miner Hive Blockchain Technologies. Our sponsor, Hive raised over $200 million last quarter and is poised to attain profitability in the very near future. The recent cryptocurrency decline hasn't had much affect on the company. They were profitably mining Ethereum when it was $300 and it's close to $900 now. And come September, they'll be mining Bitcoin too. Everything is looking up for this crypto miner. |

In just a few short months we've gone from a stock market that was almost completely devoid of fear to one that is driven by it. Just look at the volatility index, it went from 11 in December to over 50 last week. It's settled down quite a bit, but it's still around 27. If John is right, this trend will continue into the future and could mean big gains and losses too. |

Staggered by Donald Trump’s unthinkable victory in the presidential election, Democrats have continued to be pummeled by the Trump’s tax reform, the supercharged economy, his withering tweet-scorn for them and their media flunkies, their own failed government shut-down, and a rousing State of the Union address that raised his poll numbers and made the Democrat Congressmen in the audience look like pouting prom wallflowers. And now comes the “Memo,” the House Intelligence Committee’s exposure of the slow-motion coup engineered by partisan FBI and DOJ functionaries, and other deep-state members of the “resistance.” Now it’s up to “We the People” to demand accountability from these abusers of the public trust and violators of the Constitution. |

The Deep State of the Union Address really showed a totally defeated and humiliated Democratic Party. They sat there stone faced and petulant. The Democratic Party is dead. Perhaps a new party will arise from its ashes. The Bitcoin bust should come as no surprise to any listeners and readers of FSN. However, what may come as a surprise is that it's not over yet. We're going to see repeated bubbles in the Cryptocurrency space. That's just the nature of the market. Perhaps we really do need a gold-back, gold-convertible Crypto. That could have a market stabilizing effect and make the Gold Crypto the reserve crypto currency. |

Car scams are all the rage these days. Scammers get you to wire money for a car that they've advertised. They get your money and you never get the car. It all seems so real and that's why we get so easily fooled. Another major scam is that fraudsters send you a link to report a fraud to the FBI. But it's not the FBI you're sending all your personal info to, and they quickly drain your bank accounts and run up your credit cards. The scams keep on coming! |

New research by Dr. Lott using data on all the prisoners in the Arizona state prison from 1985 through June 2017 shows that illegal immigrants were 2.4 times more likely to be convicted of crime than U.S. citizens and they were 45% more likely to be members of gangs. This is the first data to allow researchers to clearly separate out the criminal behavior of legal and illegal immigrants.

Some of Jason's observations about the economy and investing. Dow falls 300 points as slump extends into second day Jeff Bezos, Warren Buffett and Jamie Dimon's plan to get into the health insurance business sent health care companies tumbling. UnitedHealth (UNH) fell 3%, CVS(CVS) was off 5%, and Walgreens (WBA) shed 3%. The Wall Street Journal also reported that Apple will make 20 million fewer iPhone X's this coming quarter than it had originally planned. The iPhone X, Apple's newest and most expensive phone, hit stores in November. Apple will give investors an update on sales Thursday during its year-end earnings report. Apple (AAPL) sank 1% early Tuesday. The market selloff so far is just minor turbulence in a relentless climb. The Dow closed down 177 points Monday, its worst day since September. If the Dow closes down by more than 100 points Tuesday, it will be the first time since April 19 and only the third time since the November 2016 election that the Dow has fallen triple digits two sessions in a row. "With higher interest rates globally and the State Of The Union speech on tap tonight, this could simply be some end of month jockeying," said Ryan Detrick, senior market strategist with LPL Research. The Dow is up 8,000 points since President Trump's election. A growing global economy, strong corporate earnings and a wave of consumer confidence are pushing stocks higher. Congress' tax cuts and Trump's deregulation agenda have investors and CEOs feeling optimistic. |

Gerard Lameiro joined us today for an interesting discussion about the scandals surrounding President Trump. They're not Trump's scandals but those conducted by the Deep State to keep him from the presidency, both during the election and after. There's something very rotten in DC (District of Criminals) and for whatever reason, they despise the President. It's all coming out soon. Will Trey Gowdy be appointed Deputy Attorney General or Clinton Special Prosecutor? |

Jeffrey Christian joined us today. We discussed the stock market, precious metals and Bitcoin. Jeff believes that Bitcoin is relatively unimportant at this point. Because it's so small in terms of investors and dollars, central banks are willing to let the market do its thing and sort out the cryptocurrency space, at least for now. He believes that recent stock market decline is temporary, but further down the road there's going to be a major decline. As always, he endorses gold as the ultimate insurance policy and believes everyone should have some. And he's bullish about its investment potential going out a number of years. He says the people buying today are not the fear motivated buyers of yesteryear, but rather they perceive it to be an undervalued asset and are seeking capital appreciation. That's a big change in the market and will have major future consequences. |

Over the last few weeks there has been more than enough bad news (Korea, Bitfinex, Tether, India, etc.) to point the finger at why we've seen such a big sell-off. From a technical trading standpoint, you can also point to the charts. In a little over a month, from November 11th to December 17th, Bitcoin was up 260%...this is a big move. As of today, we've retraced (or given back) nearly 75% of that move just described. Jared is currently looking at the next support level coming in at around 8588 and some change. With the SEC and CFTC chiefs set to meet with the Senate next week (on February 6th), and doesn't expect to see much of any bullish activity until the uncertainty of that hearing has passed. |

Jeff Berwick has been a friend of the show almost from its beginning. He's had a number of impressive calls recently. He was urging readers of Dollar Vigilante to take some crypto-profits months ago, as were we. The Bitcoin crash, much like its rise, has been orchestrated. Jeff believes that all crashes are deliberately planned and executed. Which is why we need to defeat the central banks. At the present time crypto currencies are our best hope. But be prepared! It's a war. And join Jeff's Anarchapulco conference via livestream. |

It happened. Bitcoin, which only ever goes up, is near $7000, down over 60% from its high of nearly $20,000. If you've been listening to this show, there should be no surprise. It was inevitable. The DJIA lost 666 last Friday. Another inevitability, but predictions of this bull market's death have been greatly exaggerated, for now. |

Mark believes that fundamentals do not justify the massive gains in US stocks in recent years (rise of over 300% in the S&P 500 since 2009). Does the U.S. have a perfect 'Goldilocks economy' or a vulnerable 'Food stamp economy'? Are we in a ultra low interest rate, liquidity driven "everything bubble"? Is margin debt one of the factors driving speculation in stocks and a stock market bubble? Is there 'irrational exuberance' and overly bullish sentiment as seen in the recent headline 'Stock market never goes down anymore'? |
