Summary:
The stock market took a big hit last week. The real question is whether it’s going to come roaring back or not. I sit down and chat with Charles Nenner, an amazing forecaster of the markets, to discuss what’s happening with the markets and why. We’re expecting a few rallies with long term correction eventually, but for now we should expect to just see short term correction. The new bull markets in gold should come by the end of the year. Tune in to hear more about what’s to come.

Highlights:
-Nenner is a great forecaster of the markets
-Nenner was out of stocks prior to the correction
-There are a number of stocks/markets fluctuating due to the virus—especially in consideration of traveling
-The stock market took a big hit last week—is it going to come roaring back?
-They are expecting a few rallies, but it doesn’t look great in the long term. This is a short term correction that will eventually transition into a long term correction
-Some people are seeking the relative safety of the bond market
-Inflation is as high as 14% according to some
-Copper is the ultimate indicator of economic health and trends—it goes higher due to inflation
-The new bull markets in gold should come by the end of the year due to the perception that things are not as good as they seem
-A lot of these trends are noticeable at the wrong time
-The US hasn’t had the same parabolic move as Europe with gas and oil
-The weekly cycle of natgas is down
-We used to only look at oil, but natgas is a substitute for oil
-There may start to be some selling later next year within real estate

Wage and price controls are on their way as well as a number of other regulations that could surface very soon. Tune in to hear what to expect and how you can prepare for these shifts.

Highlights:

-The government is destroying the currency to defend the markets
-Commodities go way up and get slammed down (i.e. oil last week)

The Markets Are in Flux, Will They Crash? with Gil Baumgarten
Markets Down; Big Surprise with Gil Baumgarten

Summary:
Unsurprisingly, the markets experienced a major meltdown over Black Friday—is it time to flee the market, or is this just another variant of financial disruption? I sit down and chat with Jeffrey Small to get the full picture of why this happened, and its relevance to the current economy. Thankfully, this disruption will most likely not mean much, and we will probably bounce back from the extreme inflation in the coming year. Tune in to get more insight.

Highlights:
-The market’s reaction on Friday was a knee-jerk reaction to the unknown
-Markets don’t like uncertainty
-This disruption probably won’t mean very much in consideration of the virus we’ve been living with for a while
-Inflation does create earnings growth, which is good for the market
-Investors need to buy companies that they know will have earnings growth
-The inflation we’re having now is excessive and will hurt the GDP growth
-Once we get past the holiday season, things will deflate and people won’t be spending as much on goods
-There is no reason as to why oil should be priced how it is today
-The government is directly responsible for oil trading at a high
-Are the tech stocks defensive? The Tesla stock is somewhat of a trend

-When people start to think that the world is inflationary, they start to buy precious metals

Kenneth Rapoza started out in financial services selling the usual products. After speaking with his best friend's father, he had an epiphany. This guy never seemed to have a job and yet the family always did well. Much like Robert Kiyasaki, his friend's rich dad taught him the ropes of successful investing. Kenneth is bullish on precious metals and believes that the proper life insurance policy can pay huge dividends.

We sat down with Jamie Keech to discuss inflation and inflation hedges. Jamie is of the opinion that inflation is here to stay and that factors are making commodities such as Uranium and battery metals better hedges than the traditional one of precious metals. Perhaps this is a sign that when even the most stalwart supporters start looking elsewhere, gold and silver are getting ready for the big move. Time will tell. 

Summary:
If you’re looking at investments that will keep up and stay ahead of inflation, you have to look at real estate and understand the market. Andrew Ragusa comes on the show to tell us about real estate in the Northeast and what’s happening in the market. Properties are selling for around $30k higher than their asking price, which is a trend that will probably stick around for a bit. Tune in to hear about where the market is going, and what to expect in this industry in 2022.

Highlights:
-Andrew Ragusa unpacks what’s happening with real estate in the Northeast
-Houses are selling, on average, $30k over asking price
-Some people are trying to list their houses at very high prices just to see what happens, but they end up just sitting on the market
-Properties around the $400k price point go extremely fast
-Zillow was relying on the zestimate model, which is no longer very accurate
-There is not enough data to figure out the exact estimate for every property
-Real estate will probably remain somewhat stabilized in terms of slightly higher asking prices
-Some people are waiting because they think the market is going to crash
-On a nationwide level, people are hesitant about where to go once they do sell their property
-For 2022, more inventory will probably show up
-Changes in representation in the Northeast will probably cause more people to leave and different people to come in—the political landscape is shifting
-Interest rates are lower at the moment

Summary:
It seems as if everything we’ve worked for in Western civilization is crumbling, and I have Doug Casey on the show to talk about some of the economic catastrophes that have been unfolding. As time passes, we’re seeing more shortages, increased prices, and intensifying inflation. With the government putting out unreliable figures and doing the opposite of what should be done to resolve inflation, things seem to be headed downhill quickly.

Highlights:
-We’re seeing shortages, increasing prices, and inflation
-The figures the government is putting out are not completely reliable
-The collapse of Western civilization seems to be upon us
-In an advanced industrial society, supply chains are complex, and the people in charge are doing the opposite of what actually should be done
-International air travel is down 80%
-The world is tipping towards collectivism
-The digitization of the US dollar is also bringing large changes
-The government may opt to put out wage and price controls
-Who is going to collapse the old economy and move towards the free economy? It seems that no one is willing to take this step
-During the next 3-4 years, we are in for rough times in the US

What’s going on with the price of gold, and has it bottomed? I sit down and chat with David Erfle, a self-taught mining sector investor, to discuss what’s happening with this portion of the precious metals sector. On the last day of the quarter, gold had a huge reversal, and its price hasn’t looked back since. Erfle advises us to expect the unexpected, and not to rule anything out wen it comes to this sector.

Highlights:
-What’s going on with the price of gold? Has it bottomed?
-You can never leave certain price points off the table in the gold sector
-On the very last day of the quarter, gold had a huge reversal and the price hasn’t looked back since
-You have to be mindful of resistance points
-Before gold started going up, the stocks started leading again
-Volume on up days has been higher than volume on down days, which is a sign of accumulation
-The upward moves with gold need to happen slowly in case anything happens

TIER ONE SILVER INTERSECTS 1,480.5 G/T SILVER EQUIVALENT OVER 1 METER ON THE MADRE STRUCTURE AT CURIBAYA

Tier One Silver released some highly positive news from their Curibaya Project in Peru. CEO Peter Dembicki explaind that, “[Drill] Hole #6 is the first plus-kilogram intercept at Curibaya on a feeder vein that may host the extensive high-grade silver on surface, which gives us the confidence that we are in the infancy of a new silver discovery. Drilling along structures that have yielded positive channel sample results is proving to be a sound strategy as the Company looks to realize the vast potential of the property indicated through high-grade silver mineralization on surface.“

Senior VP of Exploration David Smithson, speaking to us from the core shack at Curibaya, further clarified, “The positive results from hole 6 represent a major advancement in our understanding of the controls on high-grade mineralization within the project. The combination of alteration vectoring, targeting the margins of high chargeability anomalies and surface geochemical channel sampling is paying dividends with the drill. These results continue to support our view that Curibaya has the potential for a major discovery.”

Clearly these results are a major milestone in Tier One’s advancement towards a major discovery. Smithson suspects that there are a number of similar structures throughout their extensive land package and the team believes that their thesis has been further validated. Results are due in for 9 more holes. Dembicki is expecting more good news. As shareholders we’re excitedly looking forward to the next release.

Summary:
Will the Fed kill the market or the currency? It seems that it could come down to having to choose between the two, and I talk with Anthony Saccaro to unpack this tricky situation. With low unemployment and high inflation, the Fed is forced to raise interest rates. No matter what they do, it’s going to be bad on the market. To find out what’s happening with this situation and how to prepare, listen in because you won’t want to miss it.

Highlights:
-Will the Fed kill the market or the currency? It could come down to a choice between the two
-The Fed is in a precarious position
-The unemployment rate was doing well for a number of years pre-covid, and they hadn’t raised interest rates in a long time
-Now, unemployment is low and there is high inflation—and they are forced to raise interest rates
-They’re in a position where no matter what they do, it’s going to be bad on the market
-The worse of the evils at this point is letting inflation continue to run
-The question is whether inflation is temporary or transitory—or if it’s going to be long term
-There aren’t enough workers to unload ships, which is causing issues on the supply side
-Any inflation we have is going to be permanent, but going forward it will hopefully settle off at a lower level
-With the stimulus, people had more money, but less goods and services available
-People begin to expect prices to go higher
-The government is building an economy based on printing money
-If you’re still in the accumulation phase of life, continue with your stocks
-Focus on dividend paying stocks
-If you’re in the older phase of life, you need to be more cautious
-Focus on investments that are going to protect your principles
-Dividend paying stocks fluctuate a lot less than non-dividend paying stocks

-Are price controls inevitable?
-When there are supply shortages, certain prices go up

Summary:
The Fed seems to be losing control of the inflation narrative. No one believes it's just temporary as the list of everyday things like gas and coffee that are soring in price gets longer. And fewer people think the Fed has any way of fixing things. 

The labor market is the tightest it's ever been, producing some scary/funny stories. 

US housing is officially a bubble. Now it's not just prices but behaviors that have become dangerous. 

This month's elections in VA and NJ imply big things for next year's Congressional midterms.

Thanksgiving dinner cost is hitting a record. If nothing else brought home the cost of inflation, this dinner will.

Highlights:
-Is the Fed losing control? They have always controlled the narrative, but now, not so much
-The narrative is everything in the currency world
-The Fed has gotten away with the story that the higher prices are transitory and that normality will return
-Financial markets are being affected—there are inflation hedges and gold and silver are starting to ramp up
-It looks as if people don’t believe the Fed anymore
-Inflation started getting closer to double digits in the 70s
-The Fed has made the decision to let the current inflation run for a while and do a tiny bit of tapering
-Inflation is forever now
-In a government bond, you would lose so much capital every year
-Thanksgiving dinner is up to as much as $100 a turkey
-This is a great time to be a debtor
-The complexion of the precious metals market has changed entirely over the last three weeks
-We’ve seen upside reversals

Kill the Dollar or the Economy with John Rubino
John Rubino on Strikes and Wade Inflation

Summary:
We are continually presented with this notion of ‘transitory’ inflation, which is entirely inaccurate and misleading. I sit down with Michael Pento to discuss the real driving factors of the current monetary situation, and what this is going to look like as we enter the new year. Over the last couple of years we have seen $6 trillion handed out to increase consumption, but the balance increase is going to be $0 in 2022. Will the markets be able to survive in these conditions? Tune in to find out more.

Highlights:
-The notion of ‘transitory’ inflation is focus group driven and is not realistic
-Thanksgiving Turkey alone this year could be over $100 for ten people
