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.

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 Useful Links: Financial Survival Network News Max Michael Busler Twitter Funding Democracy Facebook Taxing the Rich to Death with Michael Busler Inflation Isn't Going Anywhere But Up with Michael Busler

Summary: 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 Useful Links: Financial Survival Network TF Metals Report Miles Franklin

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.

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.

Tune in to get the more accurate depiction of inflation, and to hear about where this situation is headed in the near future.

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.

Summary: 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.

Crescat Capital gold macro article https://www.crescat.net/the-macro-case-for-precious-metals/ great charts, including: The gold miners are the only major sector now generating positive free cash flow The miners' gold reserves have peaked and are now declining, forcing them to acquire more by buying up juniors. In the VA governors' race the Dems staged a fake white supremicist rally and tried to pin it on the Repubs, and got caught big-time. Meanwhile, school board protests are a huge factor and might be a sign of things to come for the midterms. In Australia, the bond yields are spiking through the central bank's target levels. https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/australias-central-bank-declines-to-defend-bond-target-even-as-yield-spikes/ar-AAQ26su Emerging market interest rates are rising too. https://www.ibtimes.com/brazil-hikes-interest-rate-most-two-decades-3326062 Brazil is good example, but lots of other countries have interest rates up in historically normal ranges of 5%-10%. The developed world is looking like the outlier. Are central banks starting to lose control of rates? Shiba Inu and Squid Game cryptos soar by multi-000%. It's the dot-com bubble on steroids.

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 -Students don’t receive enough information on all of the obligations of a loan—it can affect the rest of your life and set you back financially. -It is good for building credit, but only if all payments are made on time -There are lots of negative consequences that can come about in the case of emergencies -Income-based repayment entails paying back your loans based on what you can afford -The government is trying to solve a problem that they created—which typically just makes it worse -The opposite of financial education is financial ignorance, and at a younger age it’s harder to make a decision that can harm the rest of your life -Your credit score is either going to save or cost you money every month Useful Links: BetterQualified Financial Survival Network "Millenials Messing Up with Too Little Credit?" with Paul Oster "Threat of RansomWare is Quickly Spreading" with Paul Oster

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.” www.TorqResources.com Ticker Symbols - TSX.V : TORQ OTCQX : TRBMF

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. We’re looking for a pause/pull-back and then a surge higher to indicate that the sector is about to take off. Tune in for more information and predictions from myself and Vermeulen. Highlights: -Chris Vermeulen tells us what’s going on with metals -The metals have been struggling for the last year -When you look at the miners, they’re starting to break to new highs -It’s frustrating to see the back and forth trend, but the miners are starting to show a bit of strength -The market is at a nice run, and we may see a pull-back for a week or two -Gold miners are bottoming from a technical standpoint -Gold miners and precious metals could be shining by the end of the year -Key indicators of the sector about to take off will be a pause/pull-back and then a surge higher -During the pause, more money will pour into these sectors -They haven’t committed to the turnaround yet—we need to see higher prices -We just saw a year-long consolidation, so it just has to turn the corner -Oil, energy, and natgas do not seem like they’re going to pull back at all -Energy stocks have been leading the way higher, and this is a good sign -FPL is getting a 3-4% increase—pretty much all of it is natgas -Power generation has a lot of fixed costs, and doesn’t instantly correlate with higher electric prices—but they it eventually drive electric prices higher -People are relying on Florida as a port—which seems to be at capacity -This is an interesting time for investors and the stock market -Transportation is leading the way -The small cap sector is trading sideways in a tight range -The stock market is probably starting a major run towards the upside -We need to see if the Russell is going to break out—which could lead to a euphoric phase in the stock market -Due to inflation, commodities are on fire and everything is up -Real estate is on fire, but real estate agents are doing too well—there are a surplus of agents with a lack of people looking to sell homes -Is this going to lead to prosperity? After every good rally, we see a pause or a rough patch -The Russell 2000 has a really strong looking chart—it has a lot of upside -This year has been dormant in terms of sectors -Tech sectors are probably going to lead the way Useful links: Financial Survival Network The Technical Traders "Gold, Silver, U.S. Dollar, Canadian Dollar" with Chris Vermeulen "Market Drop Following Last Fall's Pattern" with Chris Vermeulen

Summary: 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.

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 Useful Links: Financial Survival Network MicroCap Explosions

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). Company Website: TierOneSilver.com Ticker Symbols: OTCQB: TSLVF – TSX.V: TSLV
