Is the banking crisis over, or are we just at the tip of the iceberg that will sink the banking system? Here to talk about this is John Rubino, who theorizes about where the economy--and the dollar--are headed in the face of increasing rates and widespread bank turmoil. It looks as if we’re moving from crisis to crisis as money stays tight, and things are going to continue to worsen for the foreseeable future. As countries begin to trade with other currencies and dollars flood back into the US economy, we are looking at multiple causes of inflation that are coming to fruition quickly.

Is the banking crisis going to spread, and how will it affect your finances? Financial expert Edward Siddell comes on the show to dive into this topic, and we address the underlying question at hand: are we going to see a cascading collapse of the banking system, or will the central banks step in and print to infinity? It looks as if we’re on the path to experiencing both of these phenomena, and it’s going to get ugly before it gets better. We need to establish a growing, thriving economy—not one that is based on trade deficits—in order to propel in the right direction. Tune in to this episode to hear the entire discussion.

The raging bull on uranium since the introduction of the ETF has been a catalyst for driving uranium prices higher. Here to talk specifically on this sector is Justin Huhn, the Proprietor of Uranium Insider, who comes on the show to discuss where things are headed. Justin describes learning about the Uranium thesis through a podcast back in 2016; he was intrigued by the performance of the previous bull market and investors’ success, and more significantly, the prospect of something like this happening again. What happened next was the transition from a simple supply and demand story to a nuclear renaissance of sorts, with the gradual re-introduction of nuclear reactors occurring in several parts of the world. Justin explains how this trend will likely expand, and how our energy philosophy is developing as a result. Tune in for more valuable insight.

How do you make money in today’s markets? Is there a particular trading methodology or system that you can use to outperform the markets? This episode follows the journey of Anmol Singh through his career as a trader as he recalls what is what like starting out in the markets, and how he got to where he is today. He was struggling in the search for a job/internship towards the end of his undergraduate career, and began educating himself on trading—reading literature, watching videos, and eventually seeking out a mentor that he went to work for. His prop firm experience allowed him to make mistakes early on; with good risk parameters in place and smaller amounts of money to trade, Anmol had about 2-3 years of real trial and error before he was able to start making a living off of trading. He has now been trading for 13 years, and founded Live Traders to inform aspiring traders and provide them with the tools for success. We cover some trading fails, what makes a good Live Traders student, and the importance of well defined systems for trading. Tune in for more great insight.

The secondary market for mortgages is gaining a lot of attention, and Abby Shemesh, the Co-Founder and Chief Acquisitions Officer of Amerinote Xchange, joins us in this episode to discuss note buying and the opportunities in this sector with relevance to the current economy.

There are a lot of different ways to invest in real estate, and previous guests on FSN have elaborated upon the storage industry as it becomes more prominent. Travis Baucom appears in this episode to talk about his experience within storage, and it started a few years back when he decided he wanted to increase his wealth and invest in something less risky and less involved.

Travis and another broker ended up purchasing a facility together, and have been operating a very successful business since then. Travis touches on some of the variables that contribute to cost minimization, as well as the future of self storage business models. Tune in for more insight.

Summary:
John Rubino joins us in this episode to unpack the emerging banking crisis, which has become extremely prevalent recently. Last month, Jim Cramer said that Silicon Valley Bank was the pick of the decade, and this week, it ceases to exist. The same is true for Signature Bank, which was the only other bank that went bankrupt this week—making that two failed picks from Jim Cramer in the span of a year. It seems that the banks’ delayed reactions to yield curve inversion have created confusion and misleading outlooks on the economy. The yield curve inversion did not hurt the banks immediately, but we are now at the point of inversion where it does start to hurt the banks. Furthermore, even if a capitulation comes sooner rather than later, we will still see a recession this year—dissolving the illusion that we’ve been living under for so long.

Torq Resources’(🇺🇸TRBMF -- 🇨🇦TORQ) CEO and Chair Shawn Wallace joined us for a sponsor update. Fresh off a C$6.26 financing, the company is flush with cash. A fully funded 15,000 meter drill program focused on their Santa Cecilia Project has commenced. The project has been progressing rapidly. Challenges have arisen, ” … mostly external to the project. In a normal world, which we certainly aren't right now … we could have done it more quickly, but you can't really speed up the science and the process to make good decisions”, CEO Wallace stated.

In the face of these challenges, the company’s Chilean team picked up the baton and ran with it. According to Wallace, they are equal to or superior to any talent he’s worked with. While it’s been over a decade since the discovery was made, he observes that, “We have the privilege of following up on historical work that defined 1.5 km of continuous vertical mineralization, starting at surface in an epithermal gold system and then transitioned into copper porphyry mineralization. There are multiple porphyry centers on this project, so this is only the beginning of a significant drill campaign...” The first two drill holes will take place in the Cerro del Medio target, which is centrally located on the project.

Torq has strong local community backing. Chile is stable. The Chilean People made their voice heard during the recent referendum. Now it’s a matter of waiting for the drill results, which should prove that Torq is extremely undervalued. Other companies are watching the project closely. With end users around the world stepping up to insure reliable sources of EV metals, Torq’s market position could get very interesting very quickly.

Interest rates continue to go up, and the Fed is promising another 50 basis point hike. How is this affecting the real estate market, and is real estate still the place to be? Here to tackle this topic is Real Estate Investor James Dainard, who sheds light on the ways that the Fed rate hikes have impacted real estate in the Pacific Northwest. Higher interest rates have slowed down the disposition, creating more expenses, and have greatly affected the value of flipped homes—especially in the beginning. James says that, although we have yet to see the end of rate increases, there is always a way to make a return in real estate. Transitions in the market unveil opportunities in different places, and James discusses some of these. Tune in for more insight.

Is there a financial crash in our future? Michael Markowski has predicted all three major crashes since 2007, and appears in this episode to tell us why we’re on the road to another. He makes a couple of significant predictions: a 69% decline from the peak to the trough for the S&P 500 and a third US Great Depression that will set in by the end of the year. Michael describes some of the ways in which the S&P 500 can go down by a minimum of 45% (which is required for a depression to occur) and that this decline can be anticipated by understanding investor psychology. Secular markets in particular condition investors to be either fearful or greedy, shifting attitudes towards risk. Michael discusses his company, AlphaTack, and their algorithm-backed strategies that introduce investors to hedge funds with the goal of “growing assets against the wind.” He explains how they integrate in-depth research and market data to provide solutions to investors, and names some sectors and allocation targets they’re working with. Tune in to this episode for expert insight on the crash, and tips on how to prepare.

As the Fed prepares to raise interest rates at least 50 points higher, everyone is wondering what lies in store for housing, the economy, and our portfolios. Here to discuss this is Anthony Saccaro, financial expert and founder of Providence Financial & Insurance Services. The plan to continually hike up interest rates is designed to lower inflation to 2% or 3%, but this will inevitably fuel a recession. The length and depth of this recession ultimately depends on how much longer the battle for inflation goes, and low unemployment seems to be keeping inflation high. Tough times ahead imply that it is essential to reconsider investing strategies, and Anthony assures us that we can count on interest and dividends for now.

The situation at hand has allowed China to rise up even more, and Carl contends that it will be easy for them to dominate Eurasia, as they are already a superpower in Asia to some degree. They are still facing their own challenges, however, specifically with the real estate market and accumulation of debt.
