Tom Bodrovics once again engages in an interesting conversation with Danielle DiMartino Booth, CEO and Chief Strategist for QI Research, former Fed Insider, and author of the book "Fed Up." The conversation focuses on the ongoing recession that likely began in Q1 2024. Danielle highlights key data points, such as job losses starting in Q2 2024, which confirm the recession's onset. Despite this clarity, official channels are reluctant to acknowledge the recession due to political considerations. Danielle emphasizes the severe impact of student loan forbearance and credit constraints on US households, noting that rising defaults will further strain consumer spending. This situation is compounded by a lack of clear policies to replace past stimulus measures, leaving the economy vulnerable. Danielle shifts into the commercial real estate sector, with banks facing growing pressure to recognize losses. She critiques the Federal Reserve for ignoring critical data, such as shelter inflation and job losses, in favor of focusing on tariffs' impact on goods prices. This stance, she argues, is politically motivated and disregards the Fed's own historical lessons. Investors are advised to prioritize safety over riskier assets, given the high returns on cash and the uncertain economic outlook. Danielle concludes by urging empathy and support for communities navigating these challenging times, emphasizing the importance of looking out for one another during economic hardship.

Banks Cover Gold Shorts, But Silver Position Remains Elevated While we were awaiting resolution to the tariff policies earlier this year, the gold and silver short positions by the banks had grown dangerously large. There's since been a lot of short covering in gold, and some reduction in silver. Although on the silver side, the position is still at an elevated level. But we take a look at that, and the warehouse inventories in today's show.

CLICK HERE NOW: https://robmoore.directbullion.com Rob speaks with Paul Withers, owner of Direct Bullion, for a conversation that will change how you view your money and finances. Paul and Rob talk about the things the banks don't want you to know, how much they control, why your savings might not actually be yours and why we're heading for a cashless society. From banking scandals involving Nigel Farage to banks blocking gold purchases, this episode exposes the hidden mechanisms transferring wealth from everyday savers to banks and the things you can do to protect you and your money. Paul Withers REVEALS: Why Direct Bullion was frozen for 4 months during COVID How his business lost millions due to one building society's gold ban More banks collapsed in 2023 than any year in human history How he uses his SASS to create infinite property acquisition loops That the Central Bank Digital Currency rollout is expected within 5 years How banks are gaining more control BEST MOMENTS "When you deposit money into a bank, it becomes debt owned to you by the bank." "Everyday savers are losing money every day and you can't even see it." "So you're saying for every a hundred quid I put in the bank to save it for when I need it. There's only actually four that they legally have to keep and they can lend or invest 96." "I believe in 2023 more banks went bust in 2023 than any other year in human history." "The gold price never changes. The gold price buys the same amount of product right today as it did 50 years ago." VALUABLE RESOURCES SPONSOR: Direct Bullion. Get your free Guide to Tax-Free Gold.

One solution proposed to solve the crisis was the establishment of a national bank.  The bank wasn't just an economic issue; it also sparked one of the first constitutional debates in the nation's history.  Fast-forward several decades, and the United States found itself debating the exact same issue, with very similar results.  Learn more about the first and second Banks of the United States, why they were created, and how they ended on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Send us a textIn this episode of The Wall Street Skinny, we sit down with Scott Bok, Chairman and former CEO of Greenhill & Co. and author of Surviving Wall Street: A Tale of Triumph, Tragedy and Timing. Scott shares stories from his remarkable career journey—from big law at Wachtell Lipton to investment banking at Morgan Stanley, to ultimately leading one of the most respected elite boutiques on Wall Street. We talk through the rise of the elite boutique model, the decision to go public, and why Greenhill ultimately sold to Mizuho—plus Scott's candid take on private equity poaching, career longevity, and the myth of the “Goldman discount.”We also dive into the mechanics of university governance, the rise of endowment taxation, and Scott's experience as Chairman of the Board at the University of Pennsylvania during one of the most tumultuous moments in higher Ed history. He offers an insider's perspective on free speech debates, board dynamics, DEI backlash, and how elite universities are being pulled into the center of a national cultural reckoning. Scott helps unpack how these issues intersect with broader questions of institutional control, public trust, and economic influence.Finally, Jen and Kristen cover the latest market headlines—from the Moody's U.S. downgrade to the recent 20-year Treasury auction and what it says (or doesn't say) about investor sentiment.

Hosts Jim Shannon and Todd Ritter, feature special guest David Sandlin, bourbon historian and owner of House of Commons in Frankfort, Kentucky . This episode, affectionately dubbed "Crazy Eights," embarks on a fascinating tasting journey through five different versions of Wild Turkey 8-year bourbon . The hosts and David analyze various expressions, starting with the recently released 2025 Wild Turkey 8-year 101 . They delve into its nose, noting hints of peanut shell, lemon, and a spicier, more prominent rye note than typically found in Wild Turkey, along with subtle clove and dark chocolate . The 2025 release is also described as more nutty and spicy compared to the 70th anniversary edition . Next up is the 70th Anniversary release, honored for Jimmy Russell's 70th anniversary .

While consumer digital banking has seen tremendous innovation, commercial and wealth management sectors often lag behind, creating frustration for some of banking's most valuable customers. We're joined on the Banking Transformed podcast by Alex Jimenez, Lead Principal Consultant at Backbase. Alex helps us understand the critical differences between consumer, small business, commercial, and wealth solutions – and why a one-size-fits-all approach fails in today's competitive landscape. He also explores the unique needs of the commercial and wealth segments, examining the performance gaps currently plaguing the industry. The message is clear – financial institutions can no longer afford to focus exclusively on consumer digital experiences while neglecting their commercial and wealth management clients.

This 4-in-1 compilation episode is about capital that doesn't flow on its own. It has to be pushed into places with no pitch decks and no polished management teams. The places where spreadsheets say “too risky,” but the need is obvious to anyone paying attention.This is capital for the common good, yes – but it's also capital that works. These aren't grants. These are investments with measurable returns and track records to prove it.In this episode, we revisit conversations with four guests who've built the policies and portfolios to make this kind of capital move.Jenn Pryce, President and CEO of Calvert Impact CapitalJenn describes Calvert Impact Capital as a bridge between retail capital and the places banks won't go – solar in Sub-Saharan Africa, affordable housing in the U.S., even sovereign bonds too small for Wall Street to care about. With over $2.5 billion raised, their flagship Community Investment Note is accessible for as little as $20.For Jenn, community investing isn't about beating the market – it's about redefining it. “We've learned the risk isn't where people think it is,” she says. By working through local intermediaries and building data-driven track records, Calvert helps prove what's possible.Full episodeBen Rick, Co-Founder of Social and Sustainable Capital (SASC)Ben left the City not because he couldn't succeed there – but because he did. After years at Goldman, UBS, and Lehman, the returns stopped justifying the worldview. “Surely there's something I can do that's better than this,” he told himself.That became Social and Sustainable Capital, a private credit fund lending to UK charities – no shareholders, no profit motive, but plenty of contracts to deliver critical services.SASC backs groups supporting domestic abuse survivors, people with disabilities, and youth exiting care – organizations with steady revenue but little access to traditional finance.Full episodeStephen Muers, Chief Executive Officer of Better Society Capital (BSC)Stephen Muers came to Better Society Capital after a high-level government career – and brought with him a systems brain. At BSC, the mission isn't just to make good investments. It's to make social investment possible at scale.BSC operates at the wholesale level, backing funds that then invest in frontline charities, social enterprises, and mission-driven lenders.BSC is also focused on market transformation. In 10 years, they've helped grow the UK social investment market 12-fold. And yet, it still isn't enough.Full episodeStewart Langdon, Partner and Co-Head of South Asian Investments at LeapFrog InvestmentsStewart joined LeapFrog early, back when the firm was still raising its first fund. He came in to help move serious capital into places most investors overlook – India, Sub-Saharan Africa, Southeast Asia – and do it in a way that actually reaches people.LeapFrog started with insurance. Not because it was easy, but because it mattered. Health shocks, accidents, lost assets – these were the things pulling families back into poverty. Then came credit. Then healthcare. Same model each time: back companies already trusted in their communities, and help them grow.Full episode—Connect with SRI360°:Sign up for the free weekly email updateVisit the SRI360° PODCASTVisit the SRI360° WEBSITEFollow SRI360° on XFollow SRI360° on FACEBOOK

What did Nelson Nash mean when he said, “Don't do business with banks”? In this episode, we break that down. There's a deep-rooted frustration with traditional banking—and for good reason. Banks retain all the control, provide very little security, and profit off your money while giving you scraps in return. So why do we keep […] The post Banks – What Are They Good For? appeared first on Life Success Legacy.

KEY TAKEAWAYS We need to be aware of what is really happening in the world, where most politicians are careerists and not trying to serve or help society. Debt and Tax are ways the system can have you making them profit for the rest of your life. Rob isn’t an angry person but he does get angry about certain things, like unfair taxes. Maybe we all need to be a bit more angry to get to where we want to be in life. The banks create money as debt and they leverage that income from everyone who deposits. There are ways to play the bank at their own game, such as through real estate. The most uncertain of times can also be the most exciting times where there are many opportunities. BEST MOMENTS “You have to blame the government for really high rent” “People generally get uncomfortable when things are non-standard” “Tax is theft” “It’s those who think they are crazy enough to change the world, that do” “Anger is energy, and maybe you can leverage it” “Learn the rules, then break the rules, then make the rules” VALUABLE RESOURCES https://robmoore.com/ bit.ly/Robsupporter https://robmoore.com/podbooks rob.team ABOUT THE HOST Rob Moore is an author of 9 business books, 5 UK bestsellers, holds 3 world records for public speaking, entrepreneur, property investor, and property educator.

This hidden bull market is actually lying in plain sight! Find out what it is today as we discuss media fear-mongering, unhelpful propaganda, Bitcoin and gold, and more. The central banks continue accumulating gold, emphasizing its historical role as a long-term store of value, and noting that despite the rise of digital assets like Bitcoin (which the U.S. now holds as a reserve), gold's cultural and material significance remains deeply embedded worldwide. Oh, and we also got a new Pope! We discuss...  A new Pope from the U.S., Pope Leo XIV (formerly Robert Prevost of Chicago), was elected, contradicting Jim Cramer's confident prediction. The Pope had a 1% chance in betting markets, showing how off-market odds can be and how unexpected outcomes can deliver large returns. A widely shared headline warned that Earth will run out of oxygen, but buried in the article was the timeline—1 billion years from now. Climate change is a hard-to-measure issue that's often politically weaponized and based on unprovable long-term models. Propaganda exists across all eras and agendas, including pro-America messages like those in 80s movies such as Top Gun. Spotting propaganda and political messaging can be useful for investors trying to understand broader narratives and their market implications. Governments often downplay crises right before they hit, and historically, such reassurances can be a red flag to start worrying. Recognizing themes in media, like global warming or military conflicts, can help investors anticipate policy moves or market shifts. Nuclear energy is an example of a rational solution ignored for political reasons, illustrating how policy can ignore practical options. Wealthy investors and central banks are buying more gold, reinforcing gold's role as a long-term store of value. Gold continues to be culturally significant and trusted across civilizations, unlike newer assets like Bitcoin. The U.S. government has decided to hold confiscated Bitcoin as a reserve asset, further legitimizing it in financial circles. There's growing speculation that Bitcoin could evolve into a reserve asset for central banks, similar to gold. Banks have transitioned from resisting Bitcoin to finding ways to monetize it, suggesting institutional acceptance is rising. Gold has significantly outpaced wage growth since 2000, reinforcing its strength as a store of value amid stagnant real income. Crypto has displaced silver as the inflation-hedge asset of choice among younger investors, hurting silver's narrative. Long-term tailwinds for silver include green tech applications like solar panels and EVs, which could reignite demand. Gold and silver miners have underperformed despite rising bullion prices, with some major miners currently unprofitable. Mining companies face structural inefficiencies, making many poor business models despite gold's rise. Institutional caution, reflected in moves by figures like Warren Buffett, indicates potential market hesitancy despite retail optimism.   Today's Panelists: Kirk Chisholm | Innovative Wealth Douglas Heagren | ProCollege Planners Follow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/moneytreepodcast Follow LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/money-tree-investing-podcast Follow on Twitter/X: https://x.com/MTIPodcast For more information, visit the show notes at https://moneytreepodcast.com/hidden-bull-market-711
