"Civilization arises from the bottom; it doesn't come down from the top. When the government gets into the picture, civilization goes backward." — Bill Bonner A small group of elites with very different interests from the mass population decides what the government will do. And now, those elites have set their sights on regulating the 'very thing that makes it possible for 8 billion people to live on planet Earth'—energy. The fallout could be the very thing that ends the American empire. So, what can we do? Bill Bonner is an American author of books and articles on economic and financial subjects. He is the founder of Agora Financial and a co-founder of Bonner & Partners publishing. He's the author of Financial Reckoning Day, A Modest Theory Of Civilization: Win-Win Or Lose, and many more titles, including a new (yet to be titles) book to be released this fall. On this episode of The Wiggin Sessions, Bill joins me to share his insight on the cornerstone that civilizations are built on and why the current economic situation in the US is bigger than macroeconomics. Bill shares how more legislation always leads to across-the-board losses and how power always corrupts (and destroys) successful empires. Listen in to understand why Bill thinks we're on the verge of a major agricultural and energy crisis catastrophe and how to protect yourself and your family during these times of high calamity. Key Takeaways Bill shares the critical date in history that is the cornerstone of civilization Why over legislation make everyone poorer Bill shares how the period we're in right now is being misinterpreted in the market The only thing the FED can do to control inflation Why the economic situation we are in now is bigger than macroeconomics. How "fashionable" changes have created an economy that no longer works Why the elites have a parasitic interest in controlling society Who is really winning with the sweeping climate bill (hint: it isn't the trees) How the high cost of regulations has depleted the US economy Why Bill thinks the decisions made by government bureaucrats will lead to a major agricultural and energy crisis catastrophe The most important thing to do during times of high calamity Connect with Bill Bonner Bonner Private Research Connect with Addison Wiggin Consilience Financial Be sure to follow The Wiggin Sessions on your socials.

If you want to increase your overall return on investment, today’s show is a must-listen. But you have to be willing to venture where other investors fear to go… and try unconventional ideas. My guest is Chris Mayer, editor of Bonner Private Portfolio, an investment research service from Bonner & Partners. Chris is an incredible stock analyst with over 20 years’ experience. He always provides unique investment insight during our interviews. And, based on your feedback, he’s one of my most popular guests. Chris shares two of his favorite sectors to invest in… which are completely off Wall Street’s radar… and highlights several names within these sectors you should be buying right now. He also explains why you need to “mix it up” when it comes to investment philosophy. He provides a great example of a unique strategy he used to generate exceptional returns on an industry-leading stock—even though sales and earnings were declining. Then in my educational segment [57:00], I break down a strategy that will sound absolutely crazy—it flies in the face of almost every investment book you’ll ever read. But it’s one of my favorite ways to make incredible returns in one of the most volatile sectors in the world...

Chris Mayer is the Investment Director of Bonner & Partners, a financial research firm. He is the author of Invest Like A Dealmaker: Secrets from a former banking insider, World Right Side Up: Investing Across Six Continents and, most recently, 100 Baggers: Stocks that Return 100-to-1 and How to Find Them. Five Good Questions: What are some of the key ingredients that might point to a 100x investment return? Do we just have to depend on luck and strike oil or benefit from a big pharmaceutical drug approval, or is there any skill involved? When I was teaching at UC Davis’s MBA program, we did a study where we examined the performance of investing gurus vs. various value investing studies (Tweedy Browne, Magic Formula, What Works on Wall Street etc.). It was amazing how the studies trounced even the pros. One reason is likely liquidity, the bigger pros couldn’t get into smaller investments that the study did, which could constrain returns. But another hypothesis I had was that because the studies are so mechanically driven and only sell after certain time periods, perhaps the studies participated in some of the market irrationality to the upside for a given stock. A guru would have taken advantage of the downside irrationality of a low P/E, but then sold out before it ever got to an extreme high P/E. How does this fit into your “coffee can” approach. Your book is full of off-the-beaten path stories, including a tontine. What the hell is a tontine? ;) We all know about Graham and Buffett, but what made Keynes such a great investor? Buffett has a great article from way back in the day called “How Inflation Swindles the Equity Investor.” It’s early Buffett, so it’s a little technical, but I thought you did a great job of simplifying it in your book and explaining how light-asset businesses are a better bet in inflationary environments. Can you walk us through your reasoning?
