Empowered investors gather insights on economic and cultural changes impacting markets. In this latest discussion, Jason Hartman reflects on recent meetings in Austin, Texas, discussing investment strategies, economic trends, and technological progress. He highlights lunch with Lance Armstrong, who shared insights into his venture fund, which includes investments in biohacking tech like the Oura Ring. Moving to policy, Hartman comments on recent U.S. administration changes, emphasizing economic reform, deregulation, and tech industry oversight. Investors are encouraged to capitalize on real estate opportunities amid expected price pressures, with resources available through the Empowered Investor Pro program. In part 2 of Jason's interview with David Collum, Jason predicts the coming shifts in real estate and the economy, as data now confirms. Housing inventory increased post-2008, with institutional investors acquiring a larger market share, impacting home prices and rental trends. Inflation, seen as a hedge by investors, drives up asset prices while leveraging debt effectively reduces real costs. However, David predicts the looming end of a 40-year credit cycle that could stall economic growth, mirroring Japan's stagnant market. With rising interest rates, AI, and tech advances, economic gains are likely to favor those with assets or leverage, leaving the average investor vulnerable. #EmpoweredInvesting #RealEstateInvesting #EconomicTrends #MarketInsights #TechInnovation #InvestmentStrategies #LanceArmstrong #Biohacking #Deregulation #USPolicy #RealEstateTrends #FinancialGrowth #EmpoweredInvestorPro #JasonHartman #InvestmentCommunity #AIinInvesting Key Takeaways: Jason's editorial 1:29 Lots to do in Mexico City and lunch with Lance Armstrong 3:00 Jason's new Ai chatbot and looking forward to a great 4 years! 7:11 Censorships and changes rippling through the world 10:49 Technology versus bad fiscal policies 13:34 Buy, Buy, Buy! 15:56 Trump tariffs Join the Empowered Investor Masterclass https://www.empoweredinvestorpro.com/ Watch Vivek's video https://youtu.be/EMXBHAWNtIw David Collum interview part 2 18:49 Where did the inventory go? 22:07 The FED pivot, immigration and deportation 25:58 Why RE investors love inflation 32:26 Demographics and the end of a 40 year credit cycle 36:16 Technologies and emergent energy 41:51 Government bailing out RE Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/ Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://www.jasonhartman.com/ Free Class: Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: http://JasonHartman.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: http://JasonHartman.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://www.jasonhartman.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://JasonHartman.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com

https://rumble.com/v5jh4sk-david-collum-part-one-bannable-banter-the-topics-that-tiptoe-on-trouble.html Tom Bodrovics welcomes back the always entertaining Professor Dave Collum for a pre-election discussion. David is Professor of Chemistry at Cornell University and a forthright Market Commentator. Collum expresses his concerns about the election's candidates and their historical roles. He suggests that Trump, despite having moral weaknesses, may have matured with a stronger conviction than Harris, who he believes lacks intellect and understanding of her role in history. Collum touches on morally unguided leaders, stating people are tired of such individuals, which could influence the election's outcome. He also discusses potential violence surrounding the election and the impact of mail-in ballots on fairness perception. Furthermore, he shares thoughts on societal moral decay and the impacts on markets and relationships. Dave critiques FDR's actions during WWII, referencing books like American Betrayal, The Red Thread, and New Deal or Raw Deal. The conversation delves back into politics and ethics. One person regretted dismissing JD Vance and saw Kamala Harris' "unburdened by what has been" as a potentially effective message. They discussed free speech, accountability, and concerns about weaponizing of the justice system. The discussion also questions the phenomenon of gender reassignment among young people, suggesting it might be rooted in a lack of meaning or purpose. They criticized questionable practices and silenced voices regarding the medical community and government's role.

https://twitter.com/PalisadesRadio/status/1737917708958679245 https://rumble.com/embed/v3zy9hu/?pub=13ry0f In this episode of Palisades Gold Radio, host Tom Bodrovics welcomes David Collum, Tom Luongo, and Rudy Havenstein to discuss various topics, including the upcoming US election and the state of the economy. The panel discusses the possibilities surrounding Donald Trump likely securing the Republican Party's nomination and the opinions of Wall Street on Nikki Haley and her support from Jamie Dimon. They express fears that the 2024 election could be a disaster, with tensions within the Democratic party and the potential for an outsider like Bobby Kennedy or Michelle Obama to enter the race. The conversation also touches on the parallel interests of liberal and conservative politicians when it comes to war and money. The discussion then moves to concerns about the concentration of power in the US executive branch, the potential for extreme actions by Trump post-election, and the hypocrisy of the Democrats in their response to election challenges compared to their outrage over Russian interference claims in 2016. The panel expresses hope that Trump, if re-elected, will follow the rules. They also predict that if the election were free and fair, Trump would win convincingly, potentially leading to a Republican majority in the Senate and House. The conversation then shifts to the Federal Reserve and its policies. Speculations arise about rate cuts and the pivot of the Fed towards a more dovish stance. Concerns are raised about the impact of rate cuts on the economy and the need for changes in government spending and reducing deficits. The panel discusses the increasing government spending and the potential consequences, such as inflation as a form of stealth default. They suggest that the markets should be asked for their opinion on the best course of action. They highlight the need for change and action to address the economic challenges facing the US. They discuss the importance of local communities and supporting local banks and businesses as a way to regain power from Washington, DC. The conversation also touches on the ongoing COVID-19 crisis and its impact on the economy. In conclusion, the discussion revolves around topics such as the upcoming US election, the role of Wall Street, concerns about power concentration, the Federal Reserve's policies, government spending, and the need for change and action to address economic challenges. The panelists express their hopes and concerns for the future of the US, highlighting the importance of grassroots movements and local support.

Tom welcomes back Professor David Collum of Cornell University to the show. Dave takes the gloves off and tells us how he really feels about many topics. The politicization of science is a major concern. of his but he is able to see thru some of these constructed narratives. He says, "It's difficult to find authorities that you can trust in the present world." He is concerned about the path of government and this path may be a foregone conclusion with the arrival of the digital world. The risks seem great of governments exploiting technology. Once the inflation mindset enters the general population usually due to supply shocks this is when hyperinflation risk begins. Hyperinflation occurs when the population flat-out loses faith in the currency. When they are desperate to get out of cash at any cost. They discuss the impacts of cryptocurrencies on gold. Also, the market's transitory beliefs regarding inflation have kept some capital from entering the precious metals space. There are reasons to be concerned about excess leverage in cryptocurrencies. Dave outlines his thoughts on metals manipulation and believes that many precious metals markets are largely backed by paper promises. Fossil fuels are here to stay and eventually we will have a boom in nuclear. It's possible that shortages of energy this winter could drive the public to demand nuclear power. Dave notes that hardly anyone is even aware of platinum. It's a commodity that is off almost all investors' radar. Many companies today can barely make interest payments on their debts. In this environment, investors should be cautious of companies with large debts and low revenues. Look for companies that are issuing sustainable dividends. He notes that many miners are attractive at these price levels. Central banks want more tools and custom digital currencies will provide them with additional capabilities. Capabilities to control prices and use negative rates to deplete savings. Dave says, "Central bankers do not believe in rational economics and most are reckless idiots."

Tom welcomes Professor David Collum of Cornell University to review the markets. He explains why he prefers to write about niche topics. Actual wealth creation involves making life better, and the 1870s to 1940s are a good example. Since the 1940s, wealth creation has become much more gradual. GDP today does not consider inflation or planned obsolescence from cheap consumer goods. David discusses the discontinuities that occurred in the early 1970s with the ending of the gold standard. The corrections over the past thirty years have not caused investors to change their behavior. The last real corrections occurred back in 1967 and 1981. Investor complacency today can be traced back to Greenspan's actions in 1987. He believes we are living in the "Dumbest Bubble in History." Bubbles tend to be sovereign-backed and usually have a great story behind them. However, today's bubbles and the recent real estate bubble are not based on anything but the faith in 12 Fed idiots who supposedly have your back. He always looks for the counter-narrative, which usually means doubting the experts. The media today has been forced to become prostitutes to earn a living. Stories today are there for a reason. It's all political and meant to move the needle on some topic. For David, his lack of faith in central banks and concerns around inflation make gold an excellent investment. 2020 taught him that the Fed has no limits. They believe they can add multi-trillion-dollar flows into the system without repercussion. The guys counting the inflation are lying to us, and true hyperinflation comes from losing faith. The odds of this occurring are increasing due to political instability and uncertainty. Energy is a good market because there is always a need, but he is betting against many alternative energy ideas. Today, climate science is primarily about money. Wind and solar are not going to replace fossil fuels anytime soon. He believes the gold equities are finally in a better place after a long period of being dismal. Companies seem to have finally figured out how to make money again. He looks for low valuations, cash, dividend yields, and ideally projects in politically safe jurisdictions. David argues that price discovery is completely broken and now largely controlled by algorithms. Today's markets and democracies are primarily the wisdom of crowds which breaks down when everything becomes correlated to one side. This is why price discovery no longer works today. HODL'ers are underestimating the savage-ness of central banks and governments. He respects what Crypto enthusiasts are trying to achieve. They may win in the end, but it's not going to be fun. He argues that institutional investment is unlikely to be good for cryptos as this smart money will pump and dump these markets.

US Household incomes increased more in 2018 than in the past twenty years combined! But why? Jason Hartman shares the numbers reflecting the lack of median income change for twenty years, and then a sudden change in 2018. Housing continues a pleasant upward trend. Oregon takes a new stance on teaching mathematics. Dr. David Collum says, "we are following the script perfectly to an authoritarian state." Are we the people being run by corporatocracy and major media? Key Takeaways: [1:16] Those who do not learn from history are destined to repeat it. [2:00] AOC, "Dow soars, but wages don't." [7:40] Real Median Household Income By The Year, adjusted for inflation. [10:15] Ratios are the most important thing in Real Estate Math! [15:00] A Pathway to Equitable Math Instruction David Collum [20:00] Facebook is just scraping data to sell to advertisers. [21:00] Inflation is here, but how much worse is it going to be? [32:00] The world is being run by the corporatocracy and media - can that pendulum ever swing back?

What is the REAL price of a home right now? Jason Hartman reminds listeners of what goes into calculating or predicting housing prices, including some old basics like the cost of lumber, as well as scarcity. Jason and Dave talk about the unseen inflation in goods and services, how inflation has affected the family income, and how we can spend. With a more in-depth look at inflation, David uncovers a bit more of the unseen inflation like the depreciation of product quality. The question continues to be, how far away from ideal are we moving, and will this progression cause the US to implode? Key Takeaways: [2:15] Let’s talk about housing prices, who’s annoyed? [5:40] If it does NOT produce income, it isn’t an investment - it is only a speculation. [9:25] US Housing prices fell more than expected in January amid soaring lumber prices. [13:13] Softwood jumped a record….? Dr. David Collum [20:20] Jason and David speak on the disfunction of the mess we the people are in with money creation and negative interest rates. [23:45] We are in the most overvalued bond market in history. [30:00] How has inflation changed, and how has the expectation of goods and services changed along with inflation? [32:10] Products are built not to last, adding to another unseen inflation, Dave refers to as depreciation. Websites: JasonHartman.com 1-800-HARTMAN Twitter:@davidbcollum

David Collum is the Betty R. Miller Professor of Chemistry at Cornell University. He is the intellectual utility infielder of internet commentary, covering all the bases: culture, politics, finance, and technology, with often surprising views on the the predicaments of our time. Here we attempt to make sense of the fast-moving corona virus story and the increasingly weird and troubling second-order events spinning off of it into the global economy and fractious American politics du jour.

I have a passion to see people meet Jesus and get to know God. Why? Because for years I was one of those guys who tried to follow all the rules, do everything right, and I even had some success. In the end though, my focus on “being right” led me to actually behave as if “I was always right”. I was no fun to be around. God in his mercy let things fall apart, and then met me in my brokenness. I have been fortunate to work in Corporate America, with my last position leading the organization that cared for the nuclear power plants of our nation’s fleet of nuclear submarines. I also had the privilege of working in the Church as a full time Pastor for 12 years. Today, I serve as the chief executive officer of The Pocket Testament League, where I get to lead this global movement of Christ-followers who are sharing Jesus in His own Words.
Today we’ll talk with Jeff Haanen, author of An Uncommon Guide to Retirement: Finding God’s Purpose for the Next Season of Life, Lora Ries, senior research fellow for homeland security at The Heritage Foundation, on the Supreme Court decision handing the Trump Administration a victory on deportation powers, and David Collum, President & CEO of The Pocket Testament League, on the case of a blind woman banned from a public park for sharing her faith.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Finding the right space or opportunity to share your faith with someone can be difficult. Evangelism can often feel forced, unfun, and tense if not pursued in a thoughtful way. The Pocket Testament League seeks to create new opportunities for sharing the Gospel that allow space for those new to God's Word to hear it openly.David Collum, CEO of The Pocket Testament League (PTL), joins Greg in this episode of the Convene Podcast to discuss a few of the creative ways our Convene members have partnered with PTL to share the Gospel through their own businesses.The Pocket Testament League's mission is to carry Scripture with them for two purposes: to read and to share. They make it their goal to share a portion of God’s Word with another person, one-to-one. As an organization, they help Christians to READ, CARRY & SHARE the Word of God.

Jason Hartman begins today's episode with a look at the number of new apartments that were constructed in the USA in 2018. The number is the largest since the 1980s, but does that mean we're overbuilt and what does that mean to single family rentals? Then, Jason talks with Dr David Collum, Professor at Cornell University, about his 2018 Year in Review report and what he's expecting in 2019. The two tackle the skewed CPI numbers, the impact of stock buybacks and how the next unwinding in our economy is going to happen.

On today's episode of the Word of Life Podcast, Brice and Jonathan are joined by David Collum of the Pocket Testament League. As CEO of this ministry, David is committed to helping and equipping believers to read God's Word, carry it, and share it with others. Tune in to hear the story of how this world-wide organization was started, as well as some incredible testimonies of lives changed (and saved) through the power of shared Scripture.
David Collum, an old friend of this podcast, is the Betty R. Miller Professor of Chemistry at Cornell University... but he may be better known these days as a wicked funny commentator on the financial scene. He writes an annual end-of-year wrap-up and forecast, which I interrupted him working on when I hauled him over to Skype to yak about the current situation. There’s some weird Skype background noise a couple of places in the recording -- like the Exorcist working over a couple of demons-from-hell in an elevator shaft. It doesn’t last more than a minute or two, so hang in there. There are apparently strange forces in the Skype-o-verse.
If you want an early peak into a respected year end review, then you need to listen to what Professor David Collum has to tell Jason Hartman. The two discuss the dangerous situation that's being created by entities like the Fed and our own government that will lead to disastrous implications. The problem is, nobody knows when the can will be allowed to stop. We've been able to stave it off for years now, but the bill will come due at some point. The two also look into the idea of "free speech" on college campuses and how to solve the intolerance shown by the left in that regard, as well as why Warren Buffett continues to lie about the equity market. Key Takeaways: [3:08] The merits of price gouging, and why price gouging laws are destructive [6:12] The issue of free speech on college campuses, and whether it actually exists today [10:43] If you want to solve the issue with students shouting down speakers, the administrators need to grow a backbone and punish the violators [14:01] The metrics that show if equities are overpriced are fraudulent [16:12] David is looking at a 50-70% reduction in the equities market [19:22] What would happen to the economy if the Fed actually raised rates to something like 4%, and why it's a completely different world than when Voelker gave the economy its "hard medicine" [23:12] Warren Buffett is a massive insider who likes to lie about the state of the market Website: www.Twitter.com/DavidBCollum David Collum's Cornell Faculty Page David's Previous Year End Reviews We shouldn't progress to the mean, we should regress to it, and that gets you to 60-70% regression.

283 Today I’m chatting with David Collum of Cornell University. Dave is Betty R. Miller Professor of Chemistry and Chemical Biology and Chair of Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology. He’s better known in the blogosphere as a witty and dauntless forecaster of finance and politics, and it’s always good to check in with him during times of turmoil The Jonathan Haidt lecture at Duke, Oct, 2016, referenced in this podcast, “Why Universities Must Choose One Telos: Truth or Social Justice,” can be accessed here: http://heterodoxacademy.org/2016/10/21/one-telos-truth-or-social-justice/
David is the Betty R. Miller Professor of Chemistry and Chemical Biology and department chair at Cornell. He specializes in organometallic chemistry with a particular expertise in the organic chemistry of lithium. David is an avid student of markets, economics, and geopolitics and writes a Year in Review posted at Peak Prosperity and Zerohedge. Dave has been cited in the Wall Street Journal and The Guardian and has appeared on Russia Today. What were the 3 biggest events in 2015 (or building over the last few years) that you think will have a big impact on 2016? What’s your long range prognosis? This is your 7th year in review that you’ve produced. What have you learned over that time from doing this incredible amount of informational synthesis every year? Do you dread Decembers yet? :) What have you gotten most wrong? How did you get started and what insight has being an organic chemistry professor at Cornell given you? I love that at the beginning of every review, you include how your personal portfolio is positioned. There are so many voices out there sharing their opinions in the financial world, but we never know if they have any real real conviction behind what they’re saying. It drives me nuts. Why are you willing to be so transparent and show your personal skin in the game? You have roughly 20% of your net worth in precious metals. I found the fervor both for and against gold to be almost religious in nature. What are your thoughts about gold?
David Collum is the Betty R. Miller Professor and Chair of the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology at Cornell University. His technical expertise is in organic chemistry, but he has gained recognition for assorted podcasts and annual surveys focusing on politics and economics.
