Powell's Friday speech: Tightening will continue longer than the markets expected. Stocks tank. Housing is rolling over big time. Europe's energy crisis is shutting down big parts of its economy. Austria's largest energy supplier, is insolvent — requires 1.7 billion euros to remain liquid, according to local media. The raid on Trump's house was either brilliant or stupid, depending on the objective. Gold and silver are languishing while all of the above gets sorted out. Lots of bargains in the mining space. Meanwhile, tons of bullion is being taken off the market by central banks and investors. Uranium is taking off as everyone restarts their mothballed plants.

Summary: Mortgage rates are up to 6%, which has doubled the cost of owning a home if you’re not buying with cash. How does this affect the opportunities that are out there? Chris Prefontaine, known in the industry as The Smart Real Estate Coach, sits down and chats with me about the most profitable strategies in real estate currently, and how you can generate cash flow/wealth in ANY market.

Summary: Wondering how you can cut back on costs and decrease the effects of inflation on your day-to-day life? In this episode, Gordon Stein and I talk about some methods for doing exactly that. Gordon comes on the show to talk about his recent book, The Cash Flow Cookbook, and discusses how he went from cutting smaller costs (such as car washes) to making a career teaching others about this topic. Inflation in the US economy affects the cost of many necessities, but by mindfully spending and strategizing, you can minimize the effects of these price increases. Tune in for more insight. Highlights: -Every month, consumer credit goes up and consumers are in the hole -The Cash Flow Cookbook can help you -Gordon Stein was inspired to write the book when he found a way to get car washes for free; it was an effortless matter. He found the way to cut the costs of a few things, and make a list of these ideas. He eventually made a spreadsheet, book, and a speaking career about it -When people think about saving money, they assume they have to give something up. The purpose of the book is to evaluate how you can save with minimal effort -Your credit score can change the interest cost of your loan, your insurance cost, etc. by a large percentage -We end up buying a lot of things we don’t use rather than shopping mindfully—especially when it comes to clothing -Gordon helps clients free up cash to grow their relationship with their advisor -It’s never too late to implement these strategies. If you start earlier, you can see your growth over time. Someone in their twenties can add a lot of wealth to their investing/retirement -You can unwind the effects of inflation by cutting down on certain expenses -It’s better to spend money on things you enjoy than spend more money than necessary on things you need Useful Links: Financial Survival Network Cashflow Cookbook

Summary: With the appearance of inflation getting better and prices going down, is it a safe time for investors? Furthermore, what should you be investing in right now? Matthew Johnson from Johnson Wealth and Income Management comes on the show to talk about this. Growing up with a Father that ran a business himself, Matthew has always been attentive to things like interest, and has noted the way that inflationary effects have shifted over the years. Matthew debunks various misconceptions about the root of the problems, and addresses some of the things to be attentive to going forward. Highlights: -The CPI only rose at 8.5%, gas prices are going down…is it a safe time for investors? -Why is this inflation different from the last? -Johnson’s Father was a business manager, and he recalls learning about interest at a young age. He has been able to observe the way in which things have changed -Inflation is not as transitory as people believe. One of the biggest misconceptions about inflation is the Fed being able to drive down demand. In reality, demand is not the problem; there has been little investment in the supply chain, which has been the real culprit of many problems -There are so many areas besides gasoline that need to be addressed -Stimulus checks increased the money supply, and the current issues we’re seeing are purely economic -Matthew works to help people use the money they’ve worked hard to save as income Useful Links: Financial Survival Network Johnson Wealth and Income Management

We were joined by Fury Gold Mines’ CEO Tim Clark and SVP of Exploration Bryan Atkinson for a sponsor update. News has picking up in the past month and CEO Clark assured us that more is on the way. Dolly Varden Silver's recent strike further underpins the thinking behind Fury’s recent sale of its Homestake project DVS. Fury became a 1/3 owner of Dolly Varden and is poised to benefit greatly from future developments there. Fury in concert with Newmont upped their respective stakes in the Éléonore joint venture, buying out their partner Azimut’s interest in the project. The Éléonore South JV is located in an area of prolific gold mineralization and is 11km to the north of Newmont’s Éléonore Mine. According to CEO Clark, “The consolidation of the property ESJV is a key transactional milestone for Fury and a positive outcome for all parties. We see a tremendous amount of exploration upside in the joint venture and are thrilled to have a great working relationship with Newmont.” It was Exploration SVP Bryan Atkinson's first time on the show. He reviewed the significance of this month’s drill results. Further drilling in the Hinge is yielding impressive results. Atkinson remarked that, “The Hinge Target is taking shape with an over 20% plus increase to the mineralized footprint of the Eau Claire deposit… As we have started to gain a better understanding of the geometry of the Hinge Target and narrow in on the sweet spot of gold mineralization, we are planning continued aggressive drilling.” Multiple zones of high grade and broad widths of moderate grade, intercepts included: 3.50m of 4.79 g/t gold, 1.00m of 14.19 g/t gold, 3.50m of 5.86 g/t gold, 1.00m of 20.6 g/t gold and 17.50m of 1.29 g/t Au. This year's drilling is about 2/3 complete. Assay labs remain backed up, but more results are due in shortly. CEO Clark is rightfully pleased with Fury’s accomplishments during the past year. With C$10 million in the treasury, there's no need to raise capital at current share prices. He’s convinced that a massive metals bull market is rapidly approaching and is quite satisfied with Fury’s vantage point and its unique position to capitalize upon it. Seasonality favors a run-up in the sector, come Q4 ’22 and Q1 ’23 and Fury is a likely beneficiary, which is why we’re holding our position.

Summary: Why are the next five years going to be different from the last five years on Wall Street? During the last five years, it was easy to make money, but Simon Ree thinks that the next five years (2022-2027) are going to be a lot different.

Summary: Many people go into one career but feel unfulfilled, and go on to find their calling in a different profession. This was the case for Pranay Parikh, who was once strictly involved in the medical field and decided to expand his career to real estate. He addresses how this dual career allows you to shape your medical profession in the way that you want—making passive money through real estate to avoid overworking yourself. Pranay has an equity group devoted to helping physicians earn passive income, so be sure to listen to this episode and check out his website to find out how you can get involved. Highlights: -If you’re able to make money outside of medicine, you can craft your medical career into what you want. Most people think that they need to be either all in or all out, which means that a lot of doctors in the industry are overworked -The nature of practicing medicine in the US has changed dramatically over the last 30 years—it has become very de-personalized, which is a systems issue -If you make passive money in real estate, you can spend more time with your clients without being concerned about not making money for that extra time -Doing real estate passively and working with people that help you manage your investments can help you save time while being involved in the industry -Many factors are influencing this passive income and the industry. A lot of people want to buy a house but are getting priced out Useful Links: Financial Survival Network Ascent Equity Group
