For decades, we were unprepared for a pandemic. Politicians on both sides of the aisle were briefed on it, again and again. We need people in policy roles that understand what the subject matter experts are saying, not career politicians with no real-life experience. Congress was even briefed on the potential for a pandemic like COVID back in June of 2019 and failed to act. Congress was too busy being stuck in gridlock to do anything about it. As Colorado's congressman, I will treat these warnings like I would with a patient. Remember, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Sustainable government requires that we don't overload the legislative process by bills that will not pass muster in a bicameral legislature that is controlled by different parties. Partisan solutions to our problems is worse than going nowhere fast- it’s driving the debate in reverse. We win against the next pandemic by putting subject matter experts into a position where they can form policy.

In this interview Craig Hemke explains what is really happening on the Comex and how it has transitioned it's turned into a delivery market. Craig is looking forward to near record gold prices by the end of 2020 and $20 plus silver. The formula is quite simple, people are figuring out what's really happening with the economy, the Federal Reserve and QE to Infinity. We always knew it was coming and now it has. The situation can't last forever, but the alternative is to simply allow total collapse, and they're just not going to do it. The question is when will they start bailing out states and cities?

Silver closing in on $18.50, key technical point. 5000 year high for the gold to silver ration. Now it’s back down to 95 and probably going lower. David is hoping for $20 silver. He’s not seeing confiscation as a possiblity. Perhaps at the ETF level. Perhaps the RobinHood Traders are jumping on the mining stock bandwagon, since they’ve been showing high momentum and big recent gains. At the latter stages of the rally, people will be buying anything with gold or silver in their name. Why hasn’t gold and silver gone higher and why haven’t the stocks gone higher. It’s very hard to analyze. Why did the metal not go higher when the mines were shut down? Is the absence of earnings enough to explain its under performance?

Massive flooding is currently taking place in China. The once vaunted Three Gorges Dam may not survive the rainy season, at least according to an increasing number of Chinese experts. And yet, you have seen nothing about it on the mainstream media. Why? Should it happen, this will be the greatest disaster in recorded history. The Yangtze River runs through cities in which 400-600 million people live. 66 nuclear power plants are in the path of massive floods that will only increase and could turn into giant tidal waves should the dam collapses. Three Gorges was built by Li Peng, the so-called butcher of Tiananmen Square. It used substandard steel and concrete, improper welding and poor design. In 1992 when construction started, Chinese technical and engineering prowess were in their beginning stages. Now they know better, but it's too late. The dam's workers have been described as frightened to death every day they work there. Why haven't you been told? Why are they hiding this? You be the judge!

Henry Weingarten of the Astrologers Fund joined us today. He says this is a very important time for the stock markets. He's fully prepared for an August pullback of at least 8-10 percent or even higher. There are 4 sectors of the market that he's looking at for increased returns and safety. They are Entertainment, Precious Metals (including Bullion and Mining Stocks), Safety and Security and Some Tech (although not necessarily the Fang Stocks). The reasons to be concerned about August include, Biden's VP pick, late reporting bad earnings, Wall Street's "A" Team is on vacation and the "B or C" Team is filling in. Henry also believes we're going to advances in gold and silver prices with gold perhaps heading into record levels. It's going to be an interesting summer.

Jonathan's new book Bellwether Blues: A Conservative Awakening of the Millennial Soul is a must read. Americans live in an era of increasing political turmoil where tensions are heightened and conflict is the new normal.

Having grown up in this environment, millennials know nothing different. Their experiences have driven them toward disillusionment and frustration with the political norm. In sum, they have caught a case of the Bellwether Blues. The resulting skepticism has brought out the worst in those who engage in political dialogue, only adding fuel to the fire.

In an era where the political world is ablaze with hatred, Bellwether Blues offers a highly effective antidote. Rather than allowing the ends to justify the means, Jonathan Jakubowski encourages conservatives to rethink their approach to reaching the millennial generation. Fight or flight might be the natural response to conflict, but there is a third option for conservatives if they choose: Make friends. This counterintuitive approach is gleaned through the stories of seven millennials in Wood County, Ohio who changed their voting preferences from liberal to conservative.

Pending home sales spiked a stunning 44.3% in May compared with April, according to the National Association of Realtors. 

That is the largest one-month jump in the history of the survey, which dates back to 2001. It beat expectations of a 15% gain. Sales were still 5.1% lower compared with May 2019, however.

Pending sales measure signed contracts on existing homes, so it shows that buyers were out shopping during the month of May. Sales had fallen 22% for the month in April, as the economy shut down to slow the spread of the coronavirus. 

“This has been a spectacular recovery for contract signings, and goes to show the resiliency of American consumers and their evergreen desire for homeownership,” said Lawrence Yun, NAR’s chief economist. “This bounce back also speaks to how the housing sector could lead the way for a broader economic recovery.”

The market, however, still needs more supply, Yun noted. “Still, more home construction is needed to counter the persistent underproduction of homes over the past decade.”

The supply of existing homes for sale at the end of May was nearly 19% lower annually, according to the NAR. Single-family housing starts in May were not as strong as expected, although building permits, a measure of future construction, did gain some steam.

The supply of homes is still extremely low, but is improving in some markets. Active listings were up by more than 10% for the month in San Francisco, California, Denver and Colorado Springs, as well as Honolulu.

Buyers came back to the market despite restrictions on open houses in many states. Real estate agents are offering virtual tours as well as individual tours of empty homes, where buyers can open a lock box and tour the homes themselves. Some buyers are signing contracts on homes they’ve never even entered physically. 

Rock-bottom mortgage rates are also helping buyers in a market that remains pricey due to high demand. The average rate on the 30-year fixed mortgage started May around 3.20%, according to Mortgage News Daily. By the start of June it was falling below 3%.

Sales of newly built homes, which are also measured by signed contracts, jumped nearly 17% in May, compared with April, and were 13% higher than May 2019, according to the U.S. Census. Builders have been seeing strong demand from buyers looking to leave densely populated urban areas. They are also benefiting from the shortage of existing homes for sale.

While the recovery was swift in May, the future is not exactly set, especially given the latest spikes in cases of Covid-19.

“Emerging virus hot spots in the South and West could derail the improving trend,” said Danielle Hale, chief economist for realtor.com. “For now, demand remains resilient, but we’re watching the new listings trend as it’s a good indicator of what’s ahead for home sales.”  

Regionally, pending home sales in the Northeast rose 44.4% for the month but were down 33.2% from a year ago. In the Midwest, sales rose 37.2% monthly and were down 1.4%annually.

Pending home sales in the South increased 43.3% month-to-month and were up 1.9% from May 2019. In the West sales jumped 56.2% monthly and were 2.5% lower annually.

President Trump signed an executive order Monday suspending several popular working visas until the end of the year. The new restrictions will apply to a host of employment-based visas.

This is just another blow to immigrants - not to mention the legal apparatus, private and otherwise, which depends on these visas to retain and generate business," says Immigration Attorney and Founder of Immigration Law Firm 'SMA Law' in Long Island City . 

The ban on new visas applies to H-1B visas, which are used by major American technology companies, and their immediate families, H-2B visas for non-agricultural seasonal workers, J-1 visas for exchange students and L-1 visas for managers of multinational corporations.

Is it more political than for purposes of sound economic policy? This policy will stop businesses from opening US divisions because their managers can't get Visas. In addition, H1B visa applicants are being paid a prevailing wage, so there's no worker importation to save costs on American workers. Let's see where this goes after the election.

On Monday 6-29-20 mining stocks are taking a major leap forward. We discussed Auryn Resources (full disclosure sponsor and we own the stock). Seems like junior miners are having their day in the sun. Rick Rule says a correction is coming. So what to do, sell and then wait and buy back after the decline, or take your investment off the table and reinvest? John and I do our best to confuse the issue.

Then we discussed the possible collapse of the Three Gorges Dam and the Stock Market. If the dam gives way we could witness the largest natural/manmade disaster in history with millions dying and 40 percent of China’s economy would die on the vine. The dam produces more electricity than any other power plant in the world. It could leave 30 percent of the country in the dark. 

Finally John discusses the left’s hypocrisy over Covid 19. It’s okay to riot but not to have a political or to demonstrate against the lockdown. Sounds like a double standard to us.

Andy Schectman, proprietor of Miles Franklin, one of the nation's largest bullion dealers joined us. He experienced a massive surge in business during February and March. This resulted in huge premiums of $10 per ounce for silver and nearly $100 per ounce for gold. And Andy assures us that we ain't seen nothing yet. With social unrest reaching new heights and massive stimulus racking the value of the dollar, he's expecting a surge of new demand after the summer holiday. This will lead to record prices and extreme shortages. The time to buy is now. Just send Andy an email to andy@milesfranklin.com and he will match any bullion price you get from anyone out there. And remember Miles Franklin is licensed and regulated by the State of Minnesota, the only such company in the nation. Get ready for tough times and don't forget to stock up on food, guns and ammo. Good luck!

Dr. Ted Noel joined us today. He's written an article about wearing masks and Covid. Masks have become an article of faith rather than science. The real question is, do properly used surgical masks reduce disease spread in the general public?  To say there are almost no data would not be overstating the case.  When households with sick kids were examined, even rigorous mask-wearing provided no statistically significant improvement in adult infections.

Let's put that in plain English.  Even if you did everything to protect yourself with surgical masks, even keeping it on when your kid wants to see your face, it might reduce your chance of getting sick, but we can't prove it.  And that's in a well designed study intended to get a meaningful result.  "[H]ousehold use of face masks is associated with low adherence and is ineffective for controlling seasonal respiratory disease" (emphasis added).

What about homemade cloth masks?  In a study using influenza, masks made from cotton T-shirts "should only be considered as a last resort to prevent droplet transmission from infected individuals."  They were only one third as effective when worn by the sick person as a surgical mask.  If you're sick, they're better than nothing, but that's not much.  The CDC says, "Cloth face coverings may slow the spread of the virus and help people who may have the virus and do not know it from transmitting it to others."  Translation: It mighthelp, but we don't have any data to back that up.

What’s going in the country is emblematic of what’s going on in our financial world. What’s being told to us doesn’t comport with what’s going on in the world. Rob believes there’s a shortage of gold and silver and yet the prices don’t move. But when you try to purchase PPE (personal protective equipment). The price of disposable gowns has gone up from 50 cents to $50. And that’s just one example. Rob believes that other shortages will become obvious shortly and believes there’s not much that can be done about. Buckle your seatbelt and get ready for the ride of your life.

There's an old saying that when you've dug yourself a hole, stop digging. George explains why we'll probably get more inflation and why the dollar could go down on the DXY index. George also explained the GTA (General Treasury Account) and why there's $1.6 trillion dollars sitting there. Eventually, we're going to a US crypto dollar. Right now we're seeing the supply chain decreasing and the supply chain is supplying less goods and that's a recipe for higher consumer prices. There's lots more great stuff here.

President Trump tweeted an attack on hoards of people who took over six blocks of downtown Seattle by force. (Isn’t that cultural appropriation?) He called them anarchists and terrorists. What a racist! If only he’d be a uniter instead of a divider. The Seattle Times was appalled and reported that President Trump had accelerated his threats against Seattle. The article painted insurgents with AR-15’s (aren’t they supposed to hate those things?) as victims and Donald Trump, of course, as the perpetrator. With such twists of the truth and propaganda, the Times is helping these criminals get more donations of food and city services from the same people and institutions those criminals rabidly hate. Doesn’t that make the Times, Seattle’s Leftist Mayor and its embarrassing Governor accessories after the fact?

The situation across the nation is dire. The violent Left has finally made their move. Expecting imminent defeat in the 2020 presidential election, they embarked upon a plandemic and a wave of violence and social unrest not seen in this country before. If they win, it will be because the vast majority of people sat back and did nothing. The deep state is manipulating these events in an effort to maintain power. Trump is their personal kryptonite. On the surface it appears as it they're winning. But are they?

The big idea: Americans agree on very little these days. But as local economies flatline and unemployment figures rival those of the Great Depression, red-state conservatives and blue-state progressives can agree on one critical point: Wall Street can no longer be trusted.

According to the Federal Reserve, Americans have $56.5 trillion locked away in Wall Street’s stocks, bonds, pension funds, and more. Yet Main Street—not Wall Street—is what powers 60 to 80 percent of the U.S. economy. These local businesses generate two to four times more jobs than Wall Street’s lauded corporate behemoths. They spend more of their money locally, pay local taxes, hire local people, and create far-reaching social returns for your community.

 

In a well-functioning investment marketplace, 60 to 80 percent of your money should be supporting 60 to 80 percent of the economy. Today, almost none is.

 

The key message: “We’ve been conditioned to funnel our retirement savings into the stocks and bonds of Fortune 500 companies, all but ignoring local businesses that are highly competitive and profitable,” explains economist and local-economy advocate Michael H. Shuman.

His solution? Help Americans shift that $56.5 trillion into local businesses, projects, and people.

In his timely new book, Put Your Money Where Your Life Is: How to Invest Locally Using Self-Directed IRAs and Solo 401(k)s (Berrett-Koehler Publishers; June 2, 2020)Shuman shares:

  • How two well-established, do-it-yourself investment tools—self-directed IRAs and solo 401(k)s—can keep your money close to home while meeting (or beating) Wall Street’s returns
  • 3 myths about local investing that even skilled financial advisors get wrong
  • Surprising, self-investment strategies that generate higher returns than typical retirement plans: from paying off credit cards to investing in a home
  • 8 smart steps that help anyone find promising, local investments, even as the pandemic rages on
  • Simple, low-cost initiatives local governments can take to mobilize local investors for post-COVID reconstruction.

Clearly the lockdown was far worse than the risk of the rapidly spreading Coronavirus. 10's of thousands of people were denied medical treatment for elective procedures, including heart ailments, cancer and other life threatening conditions. And of course there's the psychological damage that from confinement. And of course there's no scientific evidence that it's better to social distance from 6 feet, rather than 4.5 or 3. And the conflicting signals sent out regarding masks, steroids, hydroxychloroquine and almost everything else. Clearly something is amiss.

Does unlimited money mean ever rising stock prices and all asset classes? Just look at Tesla, hovering around $1000 per share. It may be working, but it also assures ever rising gold and silver prices and we're just getting started. Many of our company's sponsors have seen major gains in their stocks and there may very well be on the way. The economy is a mess and may never recover. A Covid second wave could be on the way. The election is devolving into utter chaos and madness. So where else do people turn to protect their wealth and families? 

We also discuss the toppling of statues and the cancel culture. Those who erase history won't even realize that they haven't learned from it. They even tearing down statues of Ulysses S. Grant and Teddy Roosevelt.

Our good friend Dr. Steve Turley returns. He believes that the progressive left and the mainstream media are near death. After the riots and the Covid lockdown, they've again been shown for the frauds they are. It's okay to protest and riot, but it's not okay for business owners to demonstrate about unfair closures. According to the leftist marxist media, you can't get Covid protesting. Makes total sense to us. So get ready for a new conservative nationalist wave as it sweeps the globe.
