Kerry Lutz's--Financial Survival Network

Famed real estate investor Ken Van Liew joins us for an inquiry into the continued viability of New York City. It’s no secret commercial RE markets are getting clobbered. Retail is being hammered as well. There’s been a complete exodus from the New York State. It’s a work in progress. Properties have been devalued. Rent is $1 billion in arrears. Do you buy Florida swampland or a money pit off of Central Park? Markets outside the Metro area are booming. CT projects, NJ projects, affordable housing and mixed use, Ken is seeing great demand and there’s no inventory. Money is fleeing NYC. Almost every rental market outside urban areas is booming. Less commutation equals more single family rentals. In these times, Ken believes that his real estate investing formula still works better than ever. You just need to concentrate in the markets that are benefitting from the flight out of urban America.  

Gary was shocked by Biden’s speech on allocation of funds. We spent $4 trillion last year. When does it end? We’re spending like there’s no tomorrow. We’re looking at another $4 trillion for this year. When the Treasury spends on stimulus, that’s when inflation really takes place. 

Copper is going up due to commodity price inflation and also on China’s demand. 

There’s a new normal coming once the pandemic has run its course. We still have 12 million out of work. Many less people able to support their families. Moratorium on evictions and foreclosures. The government is going to pay. 

Many pre-pandemic jobs are going to disappear. And automation isn’t going anywhere. It’s not if, but when. Lyft and Uber are counting on autonomous. Eliminate the drivers. Same with mortgage underwriters. 

Keep  your eye on the chart. The yellow lines are key. $2100 to $2200 gold by the 3rd quater of 2021, if not sooner. Unbridled optimism in the stock is clearly prevalent. How soon will the pandemic abate? Stock market has been putting pressure on gold. Same with Bitcoin. An unusual asset class. One of the super powers will come out and replace their currency with a crypto, who will it be? China, US, EU? 

Gold and silver what’s happening and ahead? When it comes to bringing back the economy, Gary isn’t so optimistic. And that complicates coming out of the global depression. 

The stock market has never been more detached from reality. There’s 7 stocks that call the shots, 40 percent of the market cap. They're the least affected by the pandemic. The other 493 stocks have done nothing. The economy is being destroyed by the lockdowns. Small and medium sized business are 50% of the jobs and 45% of the GDP. And they're the one's hardest hit by poor government policy that is destroying everything in its path. Jim is convinced that the Wuhan CCP Virus escaped from a Chinese Lab to infect the world. His latest book details his views where it's all heading. What could have been a major public health challenge has turned into a massive global depression and we have only the politicians and fake scientists to thank for the current state of affairs. 

Jim lays out very specific action steps that will help you profit from the global depression. You'll find it in his latest book, The New Great Depression: Winners and Losers in a Post-Pandemic World. It's must reading and your financial survival might just depend upon it. 

Leading up to New Year's Day, I spent a week in the hospital fighting Covid-19, together with a case of walking Pneumonia. It was a very challenging experience, but quite enlightening and beneficial as well. From the pandemic’s very beginnings, I made no secret of my belief that governments and politicians at every level were mis-handling the pandemic. Covid 19 is quite serious, especially when the elderly and those with comorbidities are affected. While the absence of underlying illnesses or those of younger ages does not guarantee immunity from the coronavirus, it greatly decreases the mortality rate and the likelihood of serious residual effects.  

From the pandemic’s start, I made a pledge to lead my best possible life, all the while taking basic precautions against the disease. I engaged in continuous handwashing, confining most of my social activities to the outdoors and taking a preventative course of HCQ, vitamin D3, Zinc and other supplements. 

John has successfully purchased a short position in Tesla. For the past several months, options were just too costly to short, but now… Premiums are down and the shorts have been flushed. Now you can do it more cheaply. Will Robinhood do John in? Watch where the next stimulus winds up. Competition is just around the corner. Commodity super cycle is going to squeeze margins. 

Twitter  and FB have lost $54 billion in market cap in the last week. 

Amazon is a perfect example of where a stock with lower profits can go. The flood of cash has to go somewhere.

Interest rates have started going up. Big deal for the stock market. We’re getting to the point where rates could be a negative issue for the stock market. Could this lead to a decline? 

Massive Bailouts for everyone just around the corner. 

Bitcoin regulation on the way? Ask Christine Lagarde, despicable Bitcoin.

It's not an accident that we got a move in the opposite directions gold and silver. Coming into the New Year everything was going for us. Juniors were leading the miners, metals were ready to take the lead. And then the rug was pulled out from under us all of us. David warned his subscribers that he was taking profits the first week of the year. The weekly gold close went under $1850. Is gold making a bear flag at $1850, which could portend more weakness to the sector. Last week was a sell the news event. Manipulation conitnues on. Real yields were rising. Dollar rebound started. Gold could go down to $1767!

In the precious metals sector, it's always a great idea to take money off the table. The March 2020 crash should have taught us some more valuable lessons that we didn’t need. Risk management is an absolute must. Take profits off the table at the beginning of the year. If any position gets over 10 percent, David will trim it down. Always be thinking of selling in the junior sector. Always hold your core. 

David gives us his take on Canadian private placements, he's had great success in the past. The rules keep getting worse for Americans. You need to be aware of the rules and legend removal process. Once the shares become free trading sell half and keep the warrants and your core holding. It all depends  upon the type of company you’re dealing with. Finally, David advises you to take a step back on a regular basis. Look at the 20 year gold chart regularly to gain perspective. This type of disciplined approach will keep your profits running and keep your risk manageable. 

It's been said many times that in order to be a successful investor you've got to have the right mindset. Jonathan K. DeYoe has taken it one further. He believes that you've got to be mindful, not just in your investing but in everything you do in life. Meditation is a great aid to give clarity and help focus in on your goals. Balance in one's life is also essential. While it may sound a bit new age cliche, Jonathan has been honing his skills to help himself become successful as well as many others. When it come to mindful investing, don't knock it till you've tried it. 

Noble Drakoln is a student of history. He sees many similarities between the Roaring 1920's and the Roaring 2020's. Just look at the IPO market and all the SPACs, essential blind trust companies set up to do who knows what. It's not gonna end well, that's for sure. And for the end point Noble trusts in gold. Whenever you walk into a great party, you know it's going to end. Euphoria aside, you know what's gonna happen.

It’s now populist versus collectivist. Watch out for John’s upcoming article about the "great migration" as conservatives and other sensible people leave California and NY for Texas, Florida and the mountain states, and leave Facebook and Twitter for Gab and Perler, basically to get away from liberals. It's the modern version of "white flight" though we don't want to put it that way. Huge story for 2021. They’re leader to a new internet infrastructure. An internet backbone that doesn’t rely upon the kindess of Google and Amazon.

One last thing that should probably be near the top. Interest rates are spiking. What is it happening and what does it mean for markets and the economy?They’re going higher in anticipation of massive bailouts. Industrial products are going higher in expectation of higher inflation.

Did you hear about the nursing home where no one had died until they got vaccines? The vaccine was our savior. What happened?

Take a seasoned 34 year mining executive/geologist and give him a stable and welcoming jurisdiction and things are bound to get very interesting, very fast. Pat Varas, Executive Chairman and CEO of Norden Crown Metals (sponsor) has traveled the world looking for resources and developing mines.

Now the focus of his attention is Scandanavia. Perhaps unknown to many, Pat extols the virtues of this extremely solid mining venue. People have been mining here since before the Middle Ages. With extremely large copper and iron deposits, they're a vital European source. And Pat sees major potential above and beyond that. He is looking forward to additional drill results in the Fredriksson Gruvan prospect, which has intersected 11.0 meters of stratiform sulphide mineralization interpreted to be Broken Hill Type (BHT) precious metal enriched base metal mineralization.

The intercept consists of massive to semi-massive sulphide mineralization, including sphalerite (zinc sulphide) and galena (lead sulphide). The intercept occurs 35 meters below historical mine workings which produced 45,000 tonnes grading 49 g/t silver, 5.77% zinc, 1.84% lead2. The Fredriksson Gruvan prospect is located on the 100% owned silver-zinc-lead-gold Gumsberg Project located in the Bergslagen Province of Southern Sweden.

There's more drilling on the way and that could mean lots more good news in the near future, which is why we own the shares. Norden Crown Metals Ticker Symbols: TSXV:NOCR - OTC:BORMF - FRA:03E

When we first met Elijah Johnson, he was 16 years old publishing videos about the inequity of the Federal Reserve and international monetary system. We jokingly referred to him as the 16 year old who knew more than then Fed Chair Benjamin Bernanke. Elijah hasn't been sitting around waiting for things to get better. He successfully made it through college with a degree in journalism and now he's putting it to great use. He's working with our great friends over at Miles Franklin and is quickly becoming a thought leader in the sound money sphere. And like like Elijah says, it's now far more important to assure the safety/return of your capital, rather than seeking a high return on it. In the end value usually takes care of itself. 

Stock markets again ran up dramatically during the month: Dow up nearly 3.3% to record 30606, S&P 500 up 3.7%, Nasdaq finished up 5.6%, Russell 2000 up strong at 8.5%, TSX lagged up 1.4% TSX.V nearly 16.7% again on cryptos and cannabis (gold stocks were way down). It was truly a day tripper's market. VIX calmed to 22.75. Dollar continued its skid off 2.1% to 89.92 and Euro rose 2.2% to 122. 10 Year yield rose to ..94%. Bitcoin went parabolic yet again up 48% to a record 28947. Gold put in a 6.8% gain to 1898. Silver piped up 16.6% to 26.36. PT was again a major winner up 10.5%. PD rose 3.8% for the month to 2336. Copper is still winning up 1.1% to $3.52, with more gains almost certainly ahead. WTI also sailed much higher up 7% to 48.52. Brent also up 8.8% to 51.80. Natgas ran out of gas falling another 12% to 2.63 per mm. Uranium still stuck at or near $30. 

Ratios: Au/Ag 72 - Pt/Au .56 - Pt/Pd .45 - BRT/WTI 1.07 WT/HH 19.1 and AU/WTI still a hefty 39.1.

I recently spent 7 days in the hospital, fighting the effects of Covid-19 and Pneumonia. It was touch and go for a couple of days. I was loaded up with antibiotics, steroids, donor plasma, blood thinners and everything else you could imagine. And yet, I pulled through. I believe the reason for my survival is that there's so much more I have to do in life. While the experience was by no means pleasant, it was very instructive and I learned a lot. I wouldn't have done anything differently, other than to have gone to the hospital a week earlier. I made the decision early on to live a normal life or as normal as possible. I have no regrets on that score. My colleague Bill Powers and I have a great conversation about living your best life in the age of Covid. It's up to all of us to find our best angels and proceed accordingly. The only advice I can offer is that if you any symptom whatsoever, get treated. Assume you have the coronavirus and get off to the doctor or hospital and get it treated. You'll likely avoid much of the pain and suffering that I encountered and that's a good thing. Special thanks to Bill Powers and the folks over at Mining Stock Education.

David Morgan appeared for FSN while I continue to recuperate from Covid-19. David is doing his usual outstanding analysis of gold and silver prices. According to David gold is now in a cup and handle pattern, the most powerful formation we can observe. David thinks we are in a 2-3 year move. We’ll be breaking 2000 gold and once that happens, we’re looking at the final leg of this massive movement. 

David talks silver and the picture is very encouraging. Platinum, Palladium getting ready for the next Platinum move. The market is telling us that it could be time to get out of Palladium and into Platinum. 

Silver isn’t quite in a cup, but it won’t be long. Keep a close eye on the silver chart. We’ve seen a flat 5 year silver chart. The last year saw a move to $30 and a consolidation. We’re pushing towards the $27 level. Volume is the key. If you don’t know the volume, you don’t know anything. 

Just go over to The Morgan Report for more info. 

Thanks for all your kindnesses while I’ve been dealing with my illness. We’ll be picking up again and soon we’ll be better than ever. Thanks David for standing in for me.
