With Christmas and year-end sales approaching in many Western countries, Chinese manufacturers are ramping up shipments to these markets via both air cargo and maritime container services, while experiencing a surge in sales on cross-border e-commerce platforms.随着许多西方国家圣诞节和年终促销季的临近,中国制造商正通过航空货运和海运集装箱服务,加大对这些市场的发货力度。同时,跨境电商平台的销售额也迎来激增。December and January are peak shopping seasons in Europe and the United States, and China's cross-border e-commerce exports to these markets—especially Christmas-themed products and small electronic products—have shown strong growth in recent weeks.12月和1月是欧美地区的购物高峰期。最近几周,中国对这些市场的跨境电商出口,尤其是圣诞主题产品和小型电子产品的出口,呈现出强劲增长态势。Christmas-themed products encompass a wide range of festive items that are popular during the holiday season. These include Christmas decorations like artificial trees, ornaments and lights, as well as figurines of Santa, reindeer and snowmen. They also cover gifts, Christmas cards, specialty food items and holiday-themed apparel such as sweaters and Santa hats.圣诞主题产品包括一系列节日期间广受欢迎的节庆用品,包括人造圣诞树、装饰品、灯具等圣诞装饰,以及圣诞老人、驯鹿和雪人等雕像。此外,还有礼物、圣诞贺卡、特色食品和节日主题服饰,如毛衣和圣诞帽等。To meet the soaring demand from Chinese exporters shipping Christmas-themed goods and other high-value items ordered through cross-border e-commerce platforms to global markets, Nanjing Lukou International Airport, located in Nanjing, capital of East China's Jiangsu province, boosted its freighter routes by adding 48 extra flights between November and December.为满足中国出口商通过跨境电商平台向全球市场运输圣诞主题商品和其他高价值商品的激增需求,南京禄口国际机场(位于中国东部江苏省省会南京)在11月至12月间增加了48个航班,以扩大其货运航线。Customs authorities at the airport supervised foreign trade cargo volume of 67,200 metric tons during the January-November period, a year-on-year increase of 29.3 percent. Among this, exports of cross-border e-commerce goods amounted to 18,000 tons, jumping 51.8 percent on a yearly basis, statistics from Nanjing Customs show.据南京海关统计,今年1月至11月,京禄口机场海关监管进出口货运量6.72万吨,同比增长29.3%。其中,出口跨境电商商品1.8万吨,同比增长51.80%。Jiangsu Changxin Weaving Co Ltd, a Changzhou, Jiangsu province-based textile manufacturer, has been shipping about 10 containers abroad daily via containerships over the past two weeks.江苏常信纺织有限公司(位于江苏省常州市)在过去两周里每天通过集装箱船向国外运送约10个集装箱的货物。In addition to exporting Christmas-themed products, such as pillows, socks, blankets and carpets, the Chinese company has introduced Christmas tree sets with innovative designs this year to enhance the competitiveness of its products in overseas markets.除了出口圣诞主题的枕头、袜子、毯子和地毯等产品外,这家中国公司今年还推出了充满创意设计的圣诞树套装,以提升其产品在海外市场的竞争力。"In the past, our exported Christmas products were relatively simple and had low added value. However, this year, we established a dedicated design team for Christmas items. From traditional Santa Claus and reindeer designs to modern cartoon styles, we now offer a diverse range of products that are popular in many countries," said Chen Lin, head of the export unit at the company.“过去,我们出口的圣诞产品相对简单且附加值低。但今年,我们为圣诞商品成立了一个专门的设计团队。从传统的圣诞老人和驯鹿设计到现代的卡通风格,我们现在提供多种产品,并在多个国家广受欢迎,”该公司出口部门负责人陈林表示。Liaoning Creative Arts and Crafts Co Ltd, a handicrafts manufacturer in Shenyang, capital of Northeast China's Liaoning province, secured over 4 million yuan ($549,018) worth of export orders to the US this year, mainly for various handicrafts made from bamboo, wood and grass weaving.手工艺品制造商辽宁创意工艺品有限公司(位于中国东北部辽宁省省会沈阳)今年获得了超过400万元人民币(549,018美元)的美国出口订单,主要涉及竹、木和草编的各种手工艺品。Demand for Christmas and other holiday decorations has been strong in the second half of this year, said Xie Pengfei, the company's general manager.公司总经理谢鹏飞表示,今年下半年,圣诞和其他节日装饰的需求一直很强劲。Shenyang Customs has supervised the export of Christmas-themed products, primarily made of bamboo, wood, rattan and grass weaving within its Customs territory in the first 11 months of this year, amounting to 350 million yuan, with exports covering 50 countries, including the US, Mexico, the United Kingdom and Australia.据沈阳海关统计,今年前11个月,该海关监管出口的圣诞主题产品主要以竹、木、藤和草编材料制成,货值达3.5亿元人民币,出口至包括美国、墨西哥、英国和澳大利亚在内的50个国家。"Instead of sea and air transportation, some Christmas goods bound for Europe can be exported via China-Europe freight train services," Xie said.“除了海运和空运,一些运往欧洲的圣诞商品还可以通过中欧班列服务出口,”谢鹏飞表示。containern.集装箱;货箱

Keith Weiner, Quinton Hennigh and Chen Lin return. Keith Weiner's Monetary Metals encourages investors to lease or lend their gold or silver to Monetary Metals' clients in exchange for interest payable in kind. At the same time, Keith makes a very strong case that the dollar will continue to get stronger relative to the Euro, Swiss franc, Japanese yen, Canadian dollar, British pound and Swedish krona. Generally, a strong dollar is viewed as bearish for gold. So why is Keith touting gold ownership at the same time that he takes an exceptionally bullish view on the dollar? We will ask him to explain that as well as why the economics of leasing or lending precious metals work to the advantage of gold borrowers and lessees and what the risk/reward tradeoffs for owners of gold and silver are when they lend or lease their gold through Monetary Metals. You can find out more at https://monetary-metals.com/jay-taylor-media/. Chen will provide his latest views on the markets based in part on his connections with Chinese investors and Quinton will update us on the emerging high margin gold mining assets of Irving Resources and two of its major shareholders, Newmont Corporation and Sumitomo.

Bob Moriarty, Michael Oliver and Chen Lin return. Virtually every time the Fed has started raising rates they continue to raise rates until something breaks. While a portion of the air is left out of the credit bubble that the Fed pops, they never go all the way in letting all the excess air out of those past mal-invested bubbles. Instead, they pile one bubble on top of another such that, over the past 60 years since gold was removed from the dollar, the Fed has created the greatest bubble ever! So when this current bubble is broken it is possible that the financial system will be reset with a new global financial system. That's because we know from experience that in a globally connected world financial distress in one market in a corner of the world can't necessarily be kept from spreading. Global markets have been so distorted by the Fed and other central banks that have manipulated interest rates way below their free-market levels that even the smallest interest rate snowflake rise can be the next one to set the entire dollar-based financial system into a destructive avalanche. Bob will provide his insights into current events that may be set to break the system and we will seek his advice regarding how he believes we should prepare. Michael recently wrote that “This was not a controlled adjustment in rates. This is a collapse situation.” We will ask him why he thinks a total collapse of the bond market is a foregone conclusion. Chen who has just returned from travels in Kazakhstan, Turkey and Finland will tell us where he is investing his money during these troubled times.

Along with substantial economic growth in the past four decades, rising Chinese influence is undeniable. For fund manager Chen Lin, originally from China and now living in New Jersey, China still has a disadvantage over the United States. The US gold reserve is seven or eight times larger than China's, he contends. Lin started his stock newsletter in 2009 after successfully navigating his family portfolio during the 2008 recession. Although he is bullish on silver, Lin believes that a China-Taiwan war—an undesirable but likely scenario—could favor gold stocks. In our weekly Inventa Capital segment, Jamie Keech, executive chairman of Vida Carbon, discusses the new paradigm of carbon credits in the voluntary market in our weekly Inventa Capital update.

Peter Krauth, Quinton Hennigh & Chen Lin return. Billionaire investor Ross Beaty, who founded Pan American Silver, wrote the following as part of a foreword to Peter Krauth's book titled “The Great Silver Bull:” “I'm convinced we are in a long-term bull market for silver and gold, and I expect investment returns in precious metals will outperform all other investment classes for the foreseeable future. Peter's book is an excellent introduction to why this is likely.” We won't have time to cover all the topics in The Great Silver Bull because there is simply too much detailed content to cover in a 20-to-25-minute interview. The objective will be to have Peter explain why he is sure that silver is a unique and irreplaceable metal and why it is set to soar in value. Hopefully Peter will share some helpful investment ideas as well. Speaking of silver, Quinton Hennigh will provide an update regarding Eloro Resources which is developing the Iska Iska silver-tin and base metals project in Bolivia. Iska Iska looks like it may well become one of the largest silver mines in the world, with serious tin and base metal credits. Chen Lin will provide his unique views on the equity and precious metals markets.

Robert Moriarty and Chen Lin Return. Michael Spreadborough, the Executive Co-Chairman of Novo Resources visits for the first time. On March 1, as Russia began invading the Ukraine, David Stockman said on this show, “Sanctioning Russia and taking away their ability to use the SWIFT system would be crazy as hell because it will hurt Americans as much as it hurts Russia!” While President Biden blames Putin for inflation, truth be told, thanks to his energy policies and COVID related supply chain shortages, inflation was rising rapidly even before the Ukraine war. But it wasn't Russia's invasion of the Ukraine that has caused energy prices to rise. Rather sanctions against Russia and disallowing the used of the SWIFT system for international trade in dollars and Euros that has dramatically cut the supply vital supplies to the west. Not only did those policies dramatically reduce supplies of oil and gas, thus leading to the highest consumer inflation in over 40 years, but they also forced Putin to tie the ruble to oil and gas and indirectly to gold. Since then, the ruble has been the strongest currency in the world! The post-1971 fiat Petro-dollar that enabled America to fund its empire through military force and subversive activities may be nearing an end because the laws of nature as they apply to debt/GDP ratios are driving America toward financial ruin while our adversaries run their economics in a much more responsible manner. Robert will share his thoughts on the economics of the western world. Michael will update us on the future plans of Novo Resources and Chen will share his thoughts on the economics of Asia and perhaps a couple of his exciting biotech stocks.

Bob Moriarty, Michael Hudson and Chen Lin are this week's guests. As global income distribution has been redistributed from the poor and middle class to the top 1/10th of the 1% more dramatically than at any time since the 1920s, extremely rich powerful members of the World Economic Forum (WEF) have, according to Bob Moriarty, been engaging in never ending propaganda campaigns out of hysteria to deceive masses of people from believing their own eyes. Aiding the WEF in propaganda campaigns is a mainstream media that is equally out of touch with an increasingly impoverished citizenry that Hillary Clinton labeled the “deplorables.” Bob explains the reason for such mass hysteria from the practitioners of modern Bernaysian propaganda is that the WEF “Gang of Weasels” is starting to realize that the “deplorable masses” are not happy with the notion espoused by the WEF's plans for 99% of the world's population. That plan was stated by Klaus Schwab's infamous declaration that “you will own nothing and you will be happy!” at Davos in January 2021. In his March 7 essay at 321Gold.com, Bob concluded by suggesting that the real reason for an abundance of hysterical propaganda is that the “Gang of Weasels” understands that they are “losing big time” as citizens are beginning to realize that freedom is not free and it must be paid for as demonstrated by the Canadian truck drivers. Given that truism, we look forward to Michael Hudson's update on Hannan Metals' world class sedimentary hosted silver-copper exploration project in Peru. And Chen Lin will update us on a couple of his favorite biotech stories.

Alasdair Macleod, Eric Coffin and Chen Lin are this week's guests. Alasdair's February 24, 2022 article, upon which the topic of this show is based, occurred before the Russian invasion into the Ukraine. Since then it appears that the NATO countries have been more unified than anticipated and the Ukrainian army and citizens are putting a very courageous fight against the invaders that may be countering attempts by Putin to drive a wedge between America and the non-Anglo-Saxon EU. But can this unity last when the economic repercussions of sanctions and broken supply chains start to cause serious hardship for Europeans? Alasdair also suggested that the U.S. was trying to suck Russia into an untenable occupation that Putin wouldn't fall for. We will ask Alasdair how that might hurt Putin's cause. How does $108 oil come into play as central banks continue to print massive amounts of money in an effort to offset economic damage caused by sanctions and supply chain disruptions? With the equity markets currently getting slammed hard, money is flowing back into Treasuries reducing interest rates for the time being. But the longer term fundamentals that Alasdair talked about appear to be very much intact. With Putin showing more aggression than anticipated, how might that alter Alasdair's views on how the Ukraine fits into the global jigsaw? Eric Coffin will talk about the March 10 and 11 Metals Investor Forum in Vancouver and a favorite stock pick of his. Chen will provide his latest views on gold, silver and biotech and no doubt also note a favorite investment or two.

Alasdair Macleod, Quinton Hennigh and Chen Lin are this week's guests. The Keynesian religion has been taught to every college graduate in America and Europe in recent decades. But that religion is based on falsehoods such as: “You can consume more than you produce and get rich by so doing.” Or, “capital has no time value.” Since getting rich without working is widely appealing to the human race, the very opportunistic President Nixon removed gold from money and declared “We are all Keynesians now.” By so doing, he paved the way for an American debt-funded spending orgy that only now is leading to an exponential rise in consumer prices and interest rate increases that will inevitably follow suit no matter what the Fed does. Austrian economists counter Keynesian religion but Kool-Aid drinking policy makers do not. Hence policies will continue to double down on the same policies that are taking us to the precipice of financial ruin. Alasdair will explain why, given ongoing Keynesian policies, inflation and interest rates are inevitably heading to levels that, even if only moderately higher than present levels, doom our existing monetary system. He will also explain why any legitimate reset of our present monetary regime will have to be grounded not on cryptos but on monetary metals. Quinton will update us on some very exciting new drill results from Lion One's Tuvatu gold deposit that suggest a far larger and richer deposit than initial dreamed of, and Chen will talk about a very exciting still small cap biotech stock that seems to be making significant progress in not only slowing down Alzheimer's disease but, to a certain extent, actually reversing the disease.

John Rubino, Patrick Highsmith and Chen Lin return. The big Keynesian fantasy that a country can forever become wealthy by consuming more than it produces has seemed believable to Americans because we have owned the world's fiat reserve currency. That meant for the past number of decades that the Federal Reserve could create fiat money out of thin air to enable Americans to buy foreign goods rather than Americans earning income through export sales to pay for their consumption. But alas, the Federal Reserve and America cannot defy the law of mathematics because money isn't actually created out of thin air at all. Fiat money is manufactured with debt. So, as decade after decade, America continued to consume more than it produced, its debt relative to income has risen to the point where the U.S. is now insolvent. Because of excessive unearned money creation by the Fed, America is now facing double-digit levels of inflation akin to 1980. But unlike 1980, when a 20% Fed Funds interest rate was required to break the back of a double-digit inflation rate, America's debt load is so large that not even a ¼ of 1% Fed Funds rate, or a 2% 10-year Treasury rate, can occur without triggering the next stock market crash and U.S. recession. With the entire American economy now dependent on rising stock prices rather than rising GDP, the only likely option for the Fed is to continue with the money-creating Keynesian fantasy leading to hyperinflation and very possibly a global currency reset. John will opine on America's precarious economic state and how we should prepare for what is to come. Patrick will update us on the exciting prospects for Firefox Gold's exploration project in Finland and Chen will share his thoughts on the emerging precious metals markets and his top biotech ideas.

But unlike 1980, when a 20% Fed Funds interest rate was required to break the back of a double-digit inflation rate, America's debt load is so large that not even a ¼ of 1% Fed Funds rate, or a 2% 10-year Treasury rate, can occur without triggering the next stock market crash and U.S. recession. With the entire American economy now dependent on rising stock prices rather than rising GDP, the only likely option for the Fed is to continue with the money-creating Keynesian fantasy leading to hyperinflation and very possibly a global currency reset. John will opine on America's precarious economic state and how we should prepare for what is to come. Patrick will update us on the exciting prospects for Firefox Gold's exploration project in Finland and Chen will share his thoughts on the emerging precious metals markets and his top biotech ideas.
Doug Casey, Chen Lin and Dr. Quinton Hennigh return. Not only rhetoric but policies of the Biden Administration look more akin to those of fascist and/or communist dictatorships than a free market capitalist system. While America never had a perfectly free market capitalist system, thanks to both Republican and Democrat parties, it is now hard to discern economic policies much different from fascist and communist governments as our choice to engage in commerce is increasingly regulated by big government. Nor do Americans seem to care much about civil liberties as evidenced by the demolition of our First Amendment rights through Big Tech censorship aimed at giving in to the Democrat party dictatorial power. As the middle class dwindles and the top 1% own nearly all of America's wealth, the middle class is rapidly moving toward abject poverty as stimulus checks from “Uncle Joe” are quickly losing value thanks to QE programs, one after another. Yet Americans who vote on either side of the isle tend to make their decisions not on the basis of classical logic but on emotions. Doug will help us ferret out what has led to a decline in America's living standards. Is it the capitalist system that has failed or is it the fault of the politicians that simply pulled the stable construct of capitalism out from under its foundation? I look forward to Doug's answers to those questions as well as where he thinks the world is heading to and how you should prepare. Quinton will update us on the progress Lion One Metals as it moves toward test mining its high-grade alkaline gold deposit in Fiji. Chen will share his thoughts about 2022 as we start the new year and offer some investment suggestions in the biotech and gold mining sectors.
Frank Holmes, Michael Hudson and Chen Lin return. Last time we talked with Frank he suggested that China is leading the world toward a cryptocurrency that would be backed by gold. But does a gold-backed cryptocurrency make sense if the Chinese virtual currency is engineered to remove all freedoms and liberties from every human being by governing where you go, what you buy, and what you are allowed to believe? By contrast, gold has served as the most fair, egalitarian and pro free- market money ever used by humankind. While gold systems have in the past helped to slow down government theft by way of inflation, is there any reason to think the Chinese Communist Party would allow a gold-backed monetary system to lead to a free market capitalist system? What would be the purpose then of China backing a digital Yuan by gold? Those and other questions regarding money and other market matters will be asked of Frank who is the chairman of HIVE Blockchain Technologies a company that mines Ethereum. We will get Chen Lin's latest views on China as well as on gold and biotech markets, and Michael will update us on one of the most exciting emerging copper-silver discoveries in the world.
Alasdair Macleod, Dr. Quinton Hennigh and Chen Lin return. Including bonds and other financial issues emanating from the U.S. Government, the individual states, the private sector and the broad money supply, dollar debt totals roughly $100 trillion, to which we can add shadow banking liabilities realistically estimated at a further $30 trillion. This gives us an idea of the scale of the threat to asset values and banking posed by higher interest rates, which are now all but certain. The prospect of contracting financial asset values is potentially far worse than in any post-war financial crisis, because the valuation base for them starts at zero and even negative interest rates in the case of Europe and Japan. Many argue that if the existing fiat monetary system self destructs, the dollar will be the last currency standing. But Alasdair will explain why the dollar is likely to be the first to fold taking down the entire dollar-centric system with it. Of course, in trying to save the dollar, the Fed will accelerate the supply of dollars exponentially leading to massively higher prices and a global monetary reset. Quinton will update us on progress being made on Eloro's Iska Iska massive silver and tin-rich global project in Bolivia and Chen will provide his latest thoughts on investments he believes are most ripe for earning profits.
Frank Homes & Chen Lin return. Walter (Jay) Buckley visits for the first time. If anyone can help us make sense of a world that seems to rely more on miracles of technology and on concepts of equality rather than on merit, it's Frank Holmes. From his years of experience managing precious metals and natural resource mutual funds to starting an airline ETF, to now serving as Executive Chairman of HIVE Blockchain Technologies, Frank can bridge the gap of understanding between a traditional investment mentality and the mysteries of cryptocurrencies. We will look to Frank for some portfolio guidance in this rapidly changing world. Chen Lin who specializes in biotech stocks as well as energy and precious metals miners will join me to talk about his views on those market sectors as well as his thoughts about China and the U.S. markets. Jay Buckley will inject a bit of joy into our lives by sharing stories of how the Guide Dog Foundation and America's VetDogs are saving the lives of veterans and other people with special needs.
Lyn Alden, Chen Lin and Dr. Quinton Hennigh return. Lyn will explain why rates of inflation may be transitory but prices levels will continue to rise, and possibly dramatically so. Her outlook for oil and gas is very bullish because she doesn't believe alternative sources of energy can come on stream nearly as rapidly as assumed by many investors. She also favors alternative forms of money like gold and silver and remains open to owning Bitcoin and other crypto currencies. She will explain those key investment views, which are largely shaped by a Federal Reserve Bank that is a prisoner of a debt trap of its own doing. The only way out is massive money creation from thin air that will force the price of goods and services much higher as measured in an increasingly debased dollar. One way to protect your wealth against dollar debasement is not only to own gold and silver but to own companies that discover and produce those metals. Eskay Mining's VMS project that is geologically related to and next door to one of Canada's riches mines in history, that being the Eskay Creek gold & silver rich polymetallic mine. A discovery of one or more of similar deposits is looking increasingly possible for Eskay Mining and Quinton will update us on the company's exploration progress. Chen Lin will discuss his views of the market and share some of his favorite picks.
Alasdair Macleod, Michael Oliver and Chen Lin return. With bitcoin's price still rising and expected to rise even more, there has been a growing belief in crypto currency circles that it will replace unbacked government currencies when they eventually fail. Alasdair says the assumptions behind this conclusion are naïve, exposing hardly any knowledge in what qualities are needed for sound money. Governments resist a return to gold-backed currencies but Alasdair will explain why governments will have no choice but to do so as a result of powerful market forces. And we will ask him what signs to look for that will tell us a change to gold-backed money is upon us. Michael will update us on the markets he thinks are the ones you need to watch most closely as the march toward non-backed fiat currency destruction continues. Chen will talk about a couple of his favorite investments and perhaps provide some thoughts about how geopolitical dynamics may impact the markets through 2021.
Alasdair Macleod, Chen Lin and Michael Hudson return. One reality American policy makers overlook is that the basis for strong nations is a strong economic footing. Believers in the Keynesian fairy tale that you can create wealth by printing money are blinded by that Keynesian big lie. So political leaders from both parties continue to think American weapons can keep securing American military and dollar hegemony. Alasdair will explain why America is already on its back foot in the continuing cold war, why the days of dollar hegemony are limited and what that will mean for your investments. Chen will add his geopolitical perspective and as well as offer some exciting investment ideas and Michael Hudson will update us on the progress of Hannan Metals with its world class copper-silver sedimentary-hosted exploration project in Peru.
Peter Ball, Brent Cook, Chen Lin, Eric Coffin and Gwen Preston return. The junior gold and silver exploration stocks have been on fire and with massive monetary inflation required for the U.S. to fund its surging deficits to the detriment of the dollar, 2021 figures to be another banner year for companies able to make significant discoveries of precious metals deposits in the ground. Peter's NV Gold Corporation has several prospects in Nevada that look promising, details of which he will share. Brent, Eric and Gwen are especially adept at locating companies with favorable risk/reward exploration prospects. Chen will bring his expertise in the biotech sector as all four guests will share their views for 2021. Brent, Eric and Gwen won the gold, silver and bronze medals with their stock picks in a similar show in January 2020. So they have been invited back this year. Your host will also share his top two picks for 2021 as well.
Alasdair Macleod, Michael Hudson & Chen Lin return. It is beginning to be obvious that global economic woes extend beyond COVID lockdowns and that monetary inflation for the dollar, as the common foundation for other fiat currencies, whose issuers face similar problems, will continue to accelerate. Fiat currencies have only survived this long due to increased financialization of the dollar and the US economy. Since the 1980s Wall Street has gradually dominated the US economy at the expense of Main Street. It has done so through monetary inflation, creating the conditions for the ultimate monetary collapse. We will ask Alasdair to help us explain how the dollar's trip toward the dustbin of history is likely to proceed and what we should be looking for to tell us it's happening. Michael Hudson will talk about Hannan Metals joint venture with a world class mining entity to fund Hannan's world class copper-silver target in Peru. Chen will share his latest investment ideas.
Dan Oliver and Chen Lin are this week's guests. Nature gave us gold for money and currency. It is the best form of money known to man not only for economic stability and a prosperous egalitarian capitalist society but also to ensure economic stability through ongoing market adjustments. But increasingly since 1971 we've had the opposite system that has led us to a likely greater depression. No matter what happens, you must own gold to preserve your wealth. But various outcomes to the current chaos may make a difference in terms of how much protection gold will provide and what other assets you may want to own. Dan will outline three possible outcomes for gold. Chen will give us his latest views on gold, biotech and energy markets, share a couple of his favorite stocks and let us in on what he is hearing from his Chinese contacts. Your host will talk about some of his favorite gold stocks and thoughts about some of the social disorder Michael Oliver spoke about last week.
Eric Coffin, John Kaiser & Chen Lin are guests for this week's show. Your host will ask them each to provide their views on the following issues: 1) Based on their economic outlook which markets do they think will be strong in 2020? 2) What was their best stock pick in 2019? 3) What are their top two picks for 2020? Your host will also lay out his views on all of those three issues as well and bring you up-to-date on Michael Oliver's latest views on the dollar, commodities, precious metals and other markets of interest.
David McAlvany, Chen Lin and Michael Oliver are this week's guests. Poor souls who become addicted to drugs or alcohol most often find the immediate pain of withdrawal far too great to discontinue their pathological behavior. To avoid pain they continue behavior that invites near-term death. Likewise central bankers continue their easy money addiction suppressing interest rates to zero and below, ensuring that death of capitalism and poverty are sure to follow. The recent interest rate pivot by Powell's Fed in response to a plunging stock market at the end of 2018 shows the Fed has no courage to allow interest rates to rise to restore price discovery of capital. Given the almost certainty of zero and negative interest rates in the future, how can we best respond for wealth protection? We will seek answers to that question from all three of our guests this week. Chen will offer some of his top picks and Michael will update us on his latest view for gold.
Robert Moriarty visits for the first time. Chen Lin and Michael Oliver return. Robert is a most colorful, creative, controversial but fascinating person that you will ever meet. He put an exclamation point in his career as a Vietnam pilot by flying a plane under the Eiffel Tower. He is the proprietor of the well known 321Gold website that provides valuable information on the precious metals' markets, including a number of highly promising companies and including a couple of sponsors to this show. Robert is one of the most informed analysts regarding Novo Resources' extremely unique Australian gold project. In addition he is highly informed and opinionated regarding economics and geopolitics. His view of the world and its markets for 2019 will be discussed. Chen will return this week to provide commentary on some of his favorite stocks for 2019 and Michael will provide his usual updates on gold and other markets of greatest importance.
Alasdair Macleod, Chen Lin and Michael Oliver visit during this first episode of 2019. As the late 2018 stock market decline morphs into a far more serious event than the 2008 financial crisis, you will hear mainstream financial anchors declaring that no one saw this decline coming. That will be “fake news” because Alasdair told our listeners in August that a decline was inevitable and that it would start between Q4 2018 and mid 2019. Alasdair will explain why this meltdown was predictable and what you can do to at least in part protect yourself against the carnage that lays ahead as the implosion of this “Everything Bubble” forces those who created it to deal with economic reality. Chen will share some of his top picks and insights into the Chinese economy and how they may impact markets in 2019. Michael will provide his usual insightful thoughts about which sectors you should be avoiding and which you should be investing in during 2019.
Alasdair, Michael Oliver and Chen Lin return. Apocalyptic thinking and prepping is common among some libertarians. While complete annihilation is always a possibility given human kind's self-destructive nature, overreaction may also be a form of self destruction. Yes, we are on the verge of some major changes, not the least of which is a decline in the American Empire. We might be better served to consider more likely less drastic outcomes for the sake of optimal planning for our futures and the future of our loved ones. To help prepare, Alasdair will discuss developing geopolitical and monetary trends. Michael will provide is usual prescient market insights for stocks, bonds and gold based on his momentum and structural analysis and Chen Lin will talk about a couple of his favorite bio tech stocks he thinks have the chance for extraordinary gains.
David McAlvany, Chen Lin and Michael Oliver return. You are not likely aware that by allocating 25% of your investment portfolio to gold rather than bonds is enormously more profitable. If 50 years ago, you invested 75% of $1,000 in stocks with the remainder in bonds, that $1,000 would have grown to $93,000. But had you invested 75% in stocks and 25% in gold, that $1,000 would have grown to $125,000. Even better, the portfolio with gold would have been less risky (fewer ups and downs) than the stocks and bonds portfolio because gold usually gains when stocks and bonds decline. David will share some of his firm's products and how they can be used to grow wealth with less volatility. Chen who has a legendary investing track record will share some of his latest biotech ideas and Michael will provide his latest insights into gold and other key markets.
Dr. Quinton Hennigh, Michael Oliver and Chen Lin return. The hottest gold stock on the planet during the second half of 2017 was Novo Resources. Dr. Hennigh will update us on the potential and challenges remaining on that company's Australian project. As we enter 2018, Michael Oliver is bullish on commodities including precious metals and especially on agricultural commodities. He is equally bearish on the dollar, stocks and bonds. He will explain his positions on these key markets. My friend Chen Lin who has been one of the most successful investors I have known personally and who has made a bundle in the energy and biotech space also has some excellent ideas in the junior mining sector. He will share his top picks as well as his views on the energy and precious metals markets as we head into 2018. Time permitting, your host will also provide a few of his own thoughts regarding investment prospects for 2018.
John Rubino, Chen Lin and Michael Oliver return. Price action in markets often seems counterintuitive. Alasdair explained why stocks often decline even as earnings begin to rise because stock prices have much more to do with flows of money than with fundamentals. Last week Richard Maybury opined that an increase in monetary velocity may be starting which could trigger general price inflation not unlike the 1970s. Indeed your host's Inflation-Deflation Watch now appears to be entering an inflationary breakout. If so, what does that mean for Fed monetary policy in light of debt levels never seen before in America? John will give his thoughts on those issues. Michael will say where momentum is taking gold, stocks and bonds. Chen will say why he thinks Sorrento Therapeutics is now a screaming buy plus share his thoughts on a couple of his favorite mining stocks in an effort to boost your portfolio returns.
David Stockman and Chen Lin return. The stock market makes new highs as investors buy the notion that fiscal stimulus and tax cuts under Trump can return America to prosperity and rejuvenate the Middle Class. Never one to wear rose-colored glasses, former Reagan budget director Stockman will explain why a grand bargain with Russia and the disassembling of the American empire is an imperative first step toward draining the swamp. But with many swamp- residing alligators threatening to consume Trump for lunch, a gradual and peaceful withdrawal seems highly unlikely. More likely, the Empire will first implode from its own self-inflicted wounds. Given his knowledge of how Washington and markets work, what are David's predictions for stock, bond and precious metals markets for 2017? As usual we will talk about Michael Oliver's reliable momentum market guidance and will talk to Chen Lin who has found ways to make money in all kinds of markets will share his favorite themes in the New Year.
Mish Shedlock, Chen Lin and Michael Oliver are this week's guests. Fed intervention failed in the 1930s. Bernanke blamed it on imperfect execution. All that was needed, he said, was more of it faster. Fed intervention is failing again. Why does the Fed persist in doing the same thing over and over again when its actions are proven to fail? Or is there something more sinister going on here in which failure is the intent of the Fed. If so, how can we peons protect ourselves against these landlords of the world? Mish will share his thoughts on that. Chen will pass along some of his stellar investment ideas and Oliver will as always update us on the major investment plate tectonics that guide our investment allocation.
Darrell MacMullin, CEO of BitGold and former President of PayPal Canada, visits. At a time when banks are preparing for bail-ins to shore up their balance sheets, reallocating savings as possible outside of the banking system may be prudent. BitGold has the potential to become “PayPal on steroids,” the steroid being gold. Its value, unlike fiat money, does not require healthy banks. Combined with modern technology BitGold leads to a less expensive payment system than PayPal. With a PayPal-like technology in hand and using gold to reduce transaction costs, BitGold not only provides you with a legally safe option outside an increasingly dangerous banking system, but it has the potential to richly reward investors in BitGold's parent, GoldMoney (T-XAU/USOTC-BTGDF). We will look to Darrell to explain BitGold's many services for consumers as well as the company's business prospects. Chen Lin will also join us to update us on his favorite stocks in the bio-pharmaceutical space.
David Haggith visits for the first time. Chen Lin and Michael Oliver return. 2016 marks the beginning of a new epoch but not a happy one. Thanks to the evil spirit induced monetary lies propagated by Keynesians and communists, the world is entering a period of debt-induced depression the likes of which has never been seen in the modern age. With central banks around the world ushering in negative interest rates such that price discovery of capital is impossible, the world is moving away from the freedom inherent in a capitalist system into a new epoch of global debt based monetary serfdom long predicted by Austrian economists. David will discuss why 2016 is the year of transition into epocalypse. More positively, Chen will talk of a couple breakthrough biotech stocks with massive upside potential and Michael will provide his latest insights into prospects for stocks, bonds, gold and commodities.
Alasdair MacLeod and Chen Lin return. The Chinese, Indians and Russians have been importing massive amounts of gold, yet its price in dollars continues lower due to massive manipulation by major bullion banks. Americans have been taught to hate gold and revere fraudulent fiat money, backed by nothing other than U.S. military force. But the Chinese are using gold rather than dollars to buy oil from Russia. At the same time, total international trade denominated in dollars is shrinking for the first time since the Great Depression. And the velocity of money is in decline as in the 1930s. As we enter a global recession, what will all this mean for gold in 2016? Is it time to give up on gold and declare an anti-free market, fraudulent Fed and the military industrial complex winners? Or might gold bounce back in 2016? Regardless, Chen will share some profit making ideas in biotech companies moving toward a cure for cancer and other diseases and opportunities in the energy sector.
Dan Oliver and Michael Oliver return. Following 2008-09 it is clear that the Federal Reserve is doing all in can to destroy capitalism. By manipulating interest rates, it disallows the pricing of capital. Because politicians and policy makers do not allow savers and investors to know what the true price of capital is, capital, the lifeblood of capitalism, is being drained from the system. By denying capital to be priced, parasitic elite is becoming ever wealthier as the middle class is inexorably relegated to serfdom. How much longer can this carnage go on before a horrific deflationary depression or an inflationary explosion results? And what will all this mean for honest money, namely gold and silver? Dan Oliver will opine and Michael Oliver will update us on what his latest momentum charts are telling him with respect to gold, stocks and bonds. Time permitting; your editor will share some exciting tech stocks he and Chen Lin are excited about.
