What's your take on demand for physical gold globally? 2) The gold to silver ratio is around 71. Do you think this means that silver is the better long term value relative to gold at this point? 3) I want to talk about the primary gold and silver mining industry. Do you think that in general the industry has done a good job at cutting costs in order to survive since gold hit $1900 and silver hit $48 in 2011 and a cyclical bear market started? 4) In December 2016, Bloomberg ran a story showing how primary gold miners are running out of economic gold reserves https://www.bloomberg.com/ news/articles/2016-12-21/gold- miners-are-running-out-of- metal-five-charts-explaining- why Do you think the industry can replace reserves at current gold and silver prices or will gold and silver prices have to go substantially higher to maintain current production levels and also to replace mined/depleted reserves? 5) Can primary gold and silver miners significantly cut more costs without shutting down mines or going bankrupt? 6) The CEO of Franco Nevada recently said that it will almost be impossible for the gold mining industry to grow production beyond current production levels. Do you agree with him? https://www.bloomberg.com/ news/articles/2017-03-01/gold- miners-running-to-stand-still- after-cuts-franco-ceo-says 7) Large gold mining companies like Barrick Gold, Newmont Mining and Goldcorp have written off their proven and probable gold reserves since 2012. Reserves have declined to 61%, 62% and 69% of the 2012 heydays. Is the gold mining industry facing very difficult supply problems now and in the future?

He is a former Wall Street analyst and founder of Santiago Capital. What did we talk about? 1. We did a review of 2016 and discussed major events that happened in the economy and market such as Brexit, Federal Reserve raising the interest rate, Trump winning the election, stock market making all time highs, Euro banks collapse and precious metals surge. 2. An overview of what to come in 2017 with Trump's pro-growth economic policies, precious metals market, the possibility of the Feds raising rate again and much more.

Jason Burack of Wall St for Main St interviewed returning guest, former financial industry veteran, financial commentator and precious metals expert, Craig Hemke aka Turd Ferguson of the popular TF Metals Report website http://www.tfmetalsreport.com/. During this 30+ minute interview, Jason starts off by asking Craig if he thinks the elites, TPTB and the mainstream media will try to get Donald Trump impeached soon after he takes office in January and if the Federal Reserve will intentionally allow a large stock market crash soon after Trump takes office? Craig has a contrarian view that the elites don't want the stock market to crash and that gold went down almost entirely because of the Dollar/Yen trade and how exchange rates have changed. Jason also asks Craig about if he thinks Deutsche Bank got off far too easy settling its Silver Fix Manipulation Case, about what havoc a strengthening Dollar can cause to the global economy and if he's upset his popular website didn't make the Washington Post's "Fake News" list?

Jason Burack of Wall St for Main St welcomed back returning guest, respected former value investor on Wall St and one of the top forensic accountants on Wall St, Charles Ortel http://charlesortel.com/. Charles was warning people about accounting problems in GE, GM and the large Wall St banks well in advance of the 2008 financial crisis and his warnings proved prescient. Charles has been on a long and time consuming crusade for the truth about the Clinton Foundation and exposing the "largest ever charity fraud" in world history in excess of $100 billion. During this 50+ minute interview, Jason starts off by asking Charles about the news today how Donald Trump's former campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway, said that the Trump administration won't pursue additional investigations about the Clinton private email server/Clinton Foundation. Links to stories: 1) http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-11... 2) http://www.cnn.com/2016/11/22/politic... Charles thinks Trump is playing poker, doing a rouse or intentionally doing a head fake. Notice how the Trump camp didn't say the FBI, DOJ and IRS have stopped current investigations of the Clinton Foundation? Next, Jason asks if/when Obama and/or Trump pardon Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton if the pardon will cover all the crimes from the Clinton Foundation? Charles says absolutely not. He says the Clinton Foundation is most likely being investigated by state tax agencies in the US, foreign tax agencies (for setting up unregistered Clinton Foundation subsidiaries) and the Clinton Foundation has so many potential counts of wire fraud, mail fraud and solicitation (more than Corrine Brown received over 300 years in prison for!) that a blanket pardon can't cover everything. Jason also asks Charles about any additional information that came out about the Clinton Foundation when Julian Assange and Wikileaks released the 36 batches of Podesta Emails? It appears that the accounting firm for the Clinton Foundation has acted like Arthur Anderson did in covering up the massive accounting fraud at Enron. 8 Laws HRC could be indicted for breaking: http://dailycaller.com/2015/09/21/eig...

Jason follows up by asking Rick if oil companies are making free cash flow at the current oil price? Rick says many are not.
