Summary:
Real estate is still in a major up-swing: prices continue to go up, inventory is low, and people are over-bidding just to get a house. A major online business that has added to the confusion is Zillow, and Debbie Bloyd comes on the show to explain how utilizing real experts and technology (rather than just technology) allows for accurate appraisals. Tune in to learn about the factors that Zillow tends to neglect when valuing a home, and how to be more aware in the current market.

Highlights:
-Not everyone is making money in real estate; Zillow has lost a lot of money with house flipping
-Here to explain where Zillow went wrong is mortgage broker Debbie Bloyd
-Zillow was messing up people’s expectations of how business should be done. You have to stay within the market range and not take people out of the equation
-You can’t only pay attention to technology and algorithms
-Zillow’s estimate does not have the final say; their algorithm doesn’t factor in everything
-A true appraisal is the only way to know what a property should sell for
-Zillow is a technology company applied tor real estate
-We need more people involved within the transactions
-There are going to be new ways to do appraisals on digital platforms in the coming years—utilizing technology and people
-Rates have been steady, but next year they’re going to go up
-With the stagflation in the 70s, real estate prices didn’t go up until the 80s

Summary:
We are currently experiencing the highest inflation we’ve seen in about 30 years, and I sit down and chat with Michael Busler to discuss some of the factors that have played into this. This is something that we experienced back in the 70s, and it is likely here to stay. Inflation is manifesting in a number of areas including energy and working wages—fueled by supply chain shortages and people leaving the workforce to receive money from the government. Something has to give, and we must show resistance to increasing prices if we want to avoid further damage to the economy.

Highlights:
-Is Build Back Better going to happen? We have inflation, an infrastructure bill, and a lot of other factors
-This is the highest inflation we’ve seen in about 30 years
-The Biden administration and the Federal Reserve say that it will go away—but this is not necessarily true
-They want the price of fossil fuels to increase, and have carried this out by restricting the supply
-Energy prices are going to rise in these conditions—manufacturers are also paying more to get energy
-Energy inflation is here to stay
-Wage inflation is also a major problem—3 million workers left the job market during COVID and are not returning
-Businesses had to raise the starting wage of these workers to get them back, and had to raise them for other workers as well
-The government has spend $6 million more than they’ve brought in in tax revenue in the last 2 years
-These things should not be passed at this time since we’re already in a hole
-Even when the supply chain issue is resolved, there are still number of other things causing inflation
-We could end up having stagflation, which we haven’t seen since the late 1970s
-The 70s was a great time to be a debtor
-As long as people keep receiving free money, they start to expect it. This mindset doesn’t help with the labor shortage
-Stock prices will usually go up more than the inflation rate
-When you see prices go up, don’t automatically pay them—see if there are substitute products
-If people become resistant to it, there will likely be less inflation

If you want expert insight on the precious metals and economic factors that influence this market, you won’t want to miss this episode. I sit down and chat with Craig Hemke about recent happenings, in which gold and silver broke the same number last week and are on the upward trend. There is a market inefficiency developing within gold, and this has to do with people buying into the idea of ‘transitory’ inflation.

Highlights:
-On the same day last week, gold and silver broke the same number and have been headed up ever since
-The bank created 30,000 contracts and added them to the existing contracts, which diluted the flow
-There is a market inefficiency developing within gold
-This is due to market participants believing the transitory claims
-When copper started taking off, this was the first hint that inflation wasn’t transitory
-Gold is a global thing and is influenced by so many factors, so you have to keep your eye out for them
-Even natgas is heavily influenced by geopolitics
-Most of the people alive today don’t know what inflation really is—specifically the inflationary times of the 70s
-So many countries have had hyper-inflation over the last 50 years, but a lot of Americans don’t understand that inflation never really left us
-Inflation is going to stay and get a lot worse before it gets better

Summary:
As you approach the age of 65, it’s absolutely critical to know about medicare and what plan is best for you in advance. I sit down and chat with Scott Maibor who is an expert on this topic, and he talks through Medicare, advantage plans, and Medigap, which have different facets suited for different individuals. There are many moving parts of the equation, so it’s important to look into them and see what makes most sense for you.

Highlights:
-It is important to know about medicare and the different aspects of it if you are approaching the age of 65
-If you’re going to be on medicare, you need some sort of additional coverage (medigap)
-Medicare combines government coverage as well as private insurance
-With any doctor that takes medicare, you’re covered 80%—but the 20% is no cap
-With medigap, you pay a fixed monthly fee
-A medigap plan is usually around $200 a month, and depends on a number of health factors
-With an advantage plan, there are no fixed costs
-Medigap plans have been around longer than the advantage plans
-It is important to look into state regulations to find out if you are allowed to switch plans at any point
-You can sign up for part A before you’re retired—it has no premium
-People compare medicare options to employer options, and there is a lot to consider
-You do get penalized for making too much money, which you also get with social security
-There’s so many moving parts of the equation
-You can avoid so many things if you plan these things out ahead

Summary:
Ever since the election, the 1970s type of inflation has come into full swing, and Hoye has observed that the big game in the financial markets is inflation and financial assets. Hoye has looked at the history of these financial bubbles and the patterns that accompany them to determine what we can expect out of the current circumstances

Highlights:
-Since the election, the 1970s type of inflation has come into play
-In the financial markets, Hoye has observed that the big game is inflation and financial assets
-In a history of interest rates, you’ve never had anything trade negative on a nominal basis
-People are saying tangible assets are going forward, but Hoye thinks this is improbable
-Following every great financial bubble, there is a pattern
-The fed was unaware in the dangers of the great financial bubble—once it’s over, most prices have deflated
-The rise in commodity prices is associated with the increase in business activity you get at the final stages of a business mania
-Rising real rates will be part of the post-bubble world
-Copper is declining, gold’s real prices is declining, interest rates are declining, and the dollar is prepared to rally
-These items are doing what they’ve done at the climax of previous bubbles

Summary:
I have the opportunity to chat with John Williams, who has been studying inflation for years—looking into the numbers that the fed has been leaving out of the equation. The government has majorly changed the way that they measure inflation over time, and they have been making alterations to reduce the headline inflation rate. Tune in to get the more accurate depiction of inflation, and to hear about where this situation is headed in the near future.

Highlights:
-My last article was on 12 reasons why inflation is here to stay, but John Williams has been tracking inflation for years—using the methods from back in the 70s
-Most people on the planet have never lived through a major inflationary cycle—it has historically been minimized
-We’ve seen changes in the way that the government has measured inflation over time
-They changed how they measured housing costs, shifting to a homeowner’s equivalent rent, or what a homeowner would pay himself to rent his own house/how he would raise the rent
-They kept making changes to reduce the headline inflation rate
-6-7 percentage points have been taken out of inflation
-Inflation is directly tied to supply chain issues, followed by shortages
-We are in an unusual circumstance since the economy shut down and employment has declined
-Holding US currency means that you’re losing purchasing power—it’s better to hold gold and silver, which will retain your purchasing power
-Williams thinks there is a good chance we will see hyper-inflation
-The best economic statistic is payroll employment—it’s a very broad measure
-People start to increasingly expect inflation

Eminent Gold Launches Nevada Treasure Hunt with CEO Paul Sun and Chief Geologist Dan McCoy

 

We were joined by a new sponsor Eminent Gold Corporation. CEO Paul Sun, a mining engineer with extensive experience in capital markets is at the helm. Chief Geologist Dr. Dan McCoy has over 30 years of global mining experience. He headed up the teams at Keegan Resources and Cayden Resources, which led to the acquisition of both companies.

There’s 4 PhD’s pursuing Eminent’s exploration ambitions. The company has four projects, all of which show great potential. As far is which one is the most promising, McCoy likens it to picking your favorite child, a hard task at best. To date, sampling has taken place at Weepah and Gilbert South. Results have greatly exceeded expectations, with channel grades up to 60 g/t gold and 30g/t gold respectively. This has helped form a better understand the underlying geology and to further refine future drill targeting.

Eminent is not just another Johnny-Come-Lately Nevada gold explorer. Their projects are in close proximity to other large past and present producing mines. They’ve upped the game by looking for gold in places where others haven’t previously ventured. They’re using the latest technology to re-examine historic projects. In earlier times, when less effective methods were the only one’s available, miners pursued low-hanging high-grade fruit and ignored deposits that were not then economic.

Times have changed; Sun and McCoy believe they are on to the next great Nevada discovery(ies) and expect a steady stream of news and catalysts to follow shortly.

It seems as if inflation is not quite as transitory as the media has portrayed. I sit down and chat with Andy Schectman about this ongoing phenomenon, which seems to be solidifying more and more as time passes. While CPI seems somewhat normal, things like commodity prices and house prices aren’t factored into this number. Tune in to hear Schectman and myself breakdown the inflationary situation that is definitely structural, and to hear about the wide-reaching implications of this matter

Highlights
-Inflation is not so transitory
-The largest social security increase in decades is coming
-Companies are paying higher hourly wages and offering sign-on bonuses
-Prices are going up, house prices are going up, but these numbers aren’t factored into the CPI
-The media doesn’t do a good job of telling the truth
-This inflation is definitely structural
-Until you get a change in policy and the government is willing to make difficult decisions, this will be with us for the foreseeable future
-As money depreciates, it never has as much value as when you first had it
-The US leaving Afghanistan had a major impact on OPEC—they’re being protected by Russia and opened up oil to other currencies

-There are ways we can increase the funding
-Be cautious of long term investments in consideration of interest rates
-Inflationary prices will probably stay with us for another year
-Get your goals straight and your strategy worked out so that you can prepare for what’s to come

Summary:
Student loan debt has been a pressing issue in our country for quite some time, with little progress in resolving it. I sit down and chat with Paul Oster to analyze some of the causes of this phenomenon, and possible ways out. It seems that we are in an endless cycle of finance companies lending out more money, causing institutions to up their prices. There needs to be more awareness around the implications of taking a loan, and the long-term financial commitment it entails.

Highlights:
-Student loan debt has been a pressing issue for quite some time
-There has been talk of forgiving student loan debt—which is great in theory—but isn’t necessarily feasible
-What sounds great can be difficult to execute
-We must consider who is going to help fund this
-Student loan debt is something we have to get ahold of immediately; finance companies are lending more, so institutions are charging more. It’s an endless cycle
-In order to forgive this absurdly large sum of money, something has to give
-The deferment period and relatively low interest rates make loans attractive
-There needs to be a more in-depth discussion of these things and adequate planning before loans are taken so that people understand the consequences

Torq Resources’ Executive Chair Shawn Wallace and Chief Geologist Michael Henrichsen came on to discuss their recently acquired Chilean gold-copper Santa Cecilia project.

Wallace mentioned that Santa Cecilia was always their major goal. He had been hinting at something big during our last interview and now he’s delivered. At 32.5 square kilometers, it’s sitting on a major system in the world-class Maricunga belt. Some historical work had been done in the 1990’s, and then it inexplicably sat on ice for decades, ignored by all.

According to Henrichsen, “This is the real deal… The initial discovery has already been made…” Now they just have to identify the most promising targets. It’s an extremely unique place, which explains why the team spent the better part of two years on its acquisition. Henrichsen’s global mining network was instrumental in getting the deal done, especially in light of the global health concerns that made international travel all but impossible.

To sum it all up, Wallace says, “The Santa Cecilia gold-copper project represents the culmination of our acquisition strategy in Chile. It is our belief that exploration at a project of this magnitude will be transformative for Torq. Now that the project is in place, it’s time to start to realize its exploration potential.”

Summary:
On this episode of FSN, I catch up with Chris Vermeulen on what’s happening with the metals, as well as other sectors subject to the effects of inflation and market trends. The metals have been struggling for the last year, and when you look at the miners, they’re starting to break to new highs.

When it comes to investing, it’s a veritable minefield out there. I sit down and chat with Mariuscz Skonieczny, the creator of MicroCap Explosions, to get access to some of the advice he gives to current investors. Especially when competition is so fierce, it can be profitable to consider lesser exchanges with lower competition—this is where value abounds. Tune in to hear about Skonieczny’s strategy for finding companies to invest in so that you can take advantage of good opportunities.

Highlights:
-When it comes to investing, it is a veritable minefield
-Some people think resource investing is dangerous, but it can also be very profitable
-When you go to lesser exchanges, it seems that value abounds there
-The central concept is competition—this dictates most things in life
-With big exchanges, everyone is paying attention to them and there is a lot of competition
-It can be beneficial to go places with little competition, like with secondary exchanges
-Oracle Resource has a copper project in Mexico, and Skonieczny discovered this a few years back
-He started investigating this company and learned that they were involved in a legal battle over a title dispute
-How do we recognize these deals? There is no particular formula, but it’s important to have an open mind; look at all the moving parts and analyze what is happening
-Have someone within the company explain to you why you may be interested and what is going on with the company
-Success in investing is finding good opportunities and letting them play out
-Investing involves a lot of sitting and waiting—you have to be willing to be patient
-Go through every company on a particular exchange individually

Tier One Silver CEO Peter Dembicki, joined us for a sponsor update. Recently, the company received additional high-grade channel sampling results from the Cambaya target, located at the flagship Curibaya project in Peru. These samples have defined a sizeable area, (exact size currently unknown) with grades as high as 1853 g/t of silver eq. As a result, the company applied for a 200-hole drill permit on up to 20 new drill platforms, thus greatly expanding the total number of drillable holes at Curibaya. The rainy season is fast approaching and Dembicki expects drilling to begin in Q2 of 2022, once the rains subside.

Dembicki stated that, “The Curibaya project has advanced considerably over the past six months and increased our confidence in the potential for a world-class silver discovery. The work we have done has resulted in a larger footprint of high-grade silver mineralization, seen in rock samples as well as the recent channel samples from the Cambaya target.”

Now, all Tier One Needs is for its assay lab to release their long-awaited drill results, which should help better define the scope of the discovery and make Tier One Silver even more attractive to investors. (We own shares).
