Gordon and Kerry discussed the performance of the S&P 500 and its fluctuations due to COVID-19. They also explored the potential risks and impacts on the equities market, the role of Treasury Secretary Yellen in managing market liquidity, and the consequences of tighter credit and looser financial conditions. Additionally, they compared Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and Gross Domestic Income (GDI), highlighting the discrepancies and the impact of inflation on GDI. Finally, they examined the current state of the U.S. economy, expressing concern over the growing national debt and the continuous reliance on credit. S&P 500, Gold, and Bitcoin Performance Discussion Gordon and Kerry discussed a chart that depicted the performance of the S&P 500, highlighting its fluctuations and the impact of COVID-19 on its trajectory. Gordon emphasized the narrowing of the S&P 500 and the possibility of it going parabolic. He also pointed out a significant point at 51,86, which was reached and then immediately pulled back, suggesting a potential risk. Kerry brought up the importance of considering gold and Bitcoin's behavior. Gordon concluded by cautioning that they were at a major junction and it might be time to reassess the risk, given that the last 5% could be catastrophic. He also mentioned the possibility of a correction back to the pre-COVID high. Gordon and Kerry discussed the current state of the equities market, expressing concern about potential risks and the possibility of a market downturn. They highlighted inflation as a potential trigger for a market correction and discussed the role of Treasury Secretary Yellen in managing market liquidity. They also discussed the impact of the Inflation Reduction Act and the potential consequences of tighter credit and looser financial conditions. Gordon compared the current situation to historical market trends and predicted corrections and attempts at a rally. GDP and GDI Discrepancies Under Bidenomics Gordon and Kerry discussed the discrepancies between Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and Gross Domestic Income (GDI). Gordon highlighted that the gap between the two has widened under Bidenomics, with GDI increasing due to inflation but not reflecting the money spent on expenditures. Gordon emphasized that the GDP formula includes borrowed money, referred to as investment income, which is contributing to the inconsistencies between the two figures. They concluded that there was a significant issue that needed to be addressed. U.S. Economy and Alternative Investments Discussed Gordon and Kerry discussed the current state of the U.S. economy. Gordon expressed concern over the potential flaws in the system, particularly the growing national debt and the continuous reliance on credit. He also noted the correlation between the yield on a 30-year bond and the growth in the GDP. Gordon further pointed out the increasing interest in gold and Bitcoin as an alternative to the U.S. dollar, suggesting that the central banks are buying gold and some major players are starting to invest in it. Kerry's opinion on this matter was not captured in the discussion. Statistics and Newsletter Discussion Kerry and Gordon discussed some statistical data about a certain issue, with Gordon presenting charts to illustrate his points. Kerry agreed with Gordon's conclusions and suggested that the charts could be found on Gordon's website, matzi.com, where a free weekly newsletter is also offered.

Description: Join us for a critical analysis of the current economic landscape as Kerry Lutz sits down with financial expert Gordon T. Long. In this compelling interview, they delve into the intricacies of the subprime auto market, the increasing rates of repos, credit card defaults, and foreclosures, painting a stark picture of the challenges facing today's investors. Gordon T. Long imparts his wisdom on the perils of debt in these volatile markets and forecasts a trend of sustained higher rates for the coming decade, spurred by the US's massive debt and currency debasement. The dialogue takes us back to the inflationary cycles of the past, with a focus on the 1970s crisis and its resolution through strategic liquidity management, offering a historical lens to understand current fiscal phenomena. The interview doesn't shy away from controversial topics, discussing the Federal Reserve's internal power struggles and its proximity to Wall Street decision-making. It also touches upon the implications of modern monetary theory mechanics and the notable decrease in reverse repos, signaling a tightening financial environment. Lutz and Long emphasize the cyclical nature of capitalism, arguing the necessity of recessions as a purification mechanism, where only the most robust businesses thrive. They conclude with strategic investment advice, urging viewers to expand their focus beyond the stock market and consider the bond and credit markets for long-term trends and opportunities.

Gordon T. Long believes that the banking system is in an extinction event and that the Fed's reduction of interest rates may initially create excitement, but will eventually break down. He also believes that the dollar is currently a safe haven, but that risk premiums on bonds will push interest rates up to 4%, and that the Fed is trying to buy time to prevent a hard landing recession. Gordon T. Long discussed the potential of artificial intelligence and the potential for job losses due to automation. He also discussed the potential for new technologies to come from other countries, and the need for America to invest in new technologies to remain competitive. He also discussed the potential for AI to be used for academic dishonesty and the need for self-awareness in AI for it to be truly useful.

Summary: Despite news about about mass layoffs and declining job numbers, we still saw a stellar labor report last month. What can we gather from these manipulated statistics? Gordon T. Long joins us in this episode to shed some light on the confusing circumstances—consisting of employment numbers so large that feelings about whether or not the Fed was going to pivot (and how soon) reversed entirely. It's clear that they're pushing a false narrative, and despite big goals to lower inflation, we will be lucky to get it down to 4%. Furthermore, economic factors such as globalization, financialization, and mercantilism have all endured massive changes—priming us for an era of stagnation. Tune in for more expert insight.

Summary: When is the capitulation going to come by the central banks? Gordon T. Long comes on this episode to talk about our current economic problems—including energy, central bank issues, and the progression of inflation. There's no easy way out of the current inflationary environment, and it looks as if the Fed is going to have to hold rates up longer than we want in order to reach capitulation. Tune in for Gordon's analytic perspective and more information on what's to come. Highlights: -We're nowhere close to solving the energy problem, and now it has become a geopolitical issue -The implementation plan for green energy in the US makes no sense -Energy in Europe is a massive issue, and we are in a cycle -Pushing green energy without the market being ready/able would push us back to brown energy at this rate -Force feeding creates bad policies -We're seeing central banks with serious problems that spring out of gyration that accompanies inflation -Too many people have their eyes on the Fed -The only way to get inflation under control is to hold up rates longer than people want and to get the capitulation to happen -The current situation is unique because, as things are breaking, the treasury is taking actions -If inflation pivots too quickly, people will turn against the Federal Reserve in a massive way -How do you make money in these circumstances? Sometimes it just takes patience; you have to establish the trends Useful Links: Financial Survival Network MATASII

New commodity super-cycle and the end of the super-debt cycle. Real rates are starting to rise and funds will move from equities to other more value oriented options. The change was inevitable. The Fed will do every thing it can to hold down rates, but inflation is coming and perhaps is already here. The currency will eventually be in trouble. All commodities are rising. Malls are collapsing around the country. Gold and silver are consolidating. Get ready.

Gordon T. Long joined us for a very insightful look at the markets and precious metals. Gordon is super-bullish on gold and silver. Based upon what's happening in the US and abroad he sees a very bullish movement ahead. Stocks may keep on going up as a result of all the liquidity that the Fed keeps pumping into the market and we will see this strategy continuing onward indefinitely. In the end, this is what will see precious metals go ever higher. So get ready!

There are decades where nothing happens and there are weeks when decades happen. -Vladimir Lennin. Everything Gordon and I have been talking about has come to fruition. The size and magnitude of the problem has been grossly understated. Oil companies, state and local government debt. Globally it’s even worse. 50-60 percent of S&P profits are coming out of the global economy. The forward PE is 20, higher than at the peak. Other than the US markets, everyone else’s are imploding. What we’ve seen in terms of monetary and fiscal policy is unprecedented. We’re attempting to bailout the world and it won’t end well. In the next stage we will lose confidence in the government and the currency. You can always count on politicians to print money and then getting it into the right hands. The PPP was a complete scam. The rats are deserting the ship.

Gordon T. Long joined for a review of the recent disruptions in the Repo market and what are its possible causes. The Fed has come to its rescue so all is well. But are we actually witnessing stealth collapses of major banks? The Fed is being quite opaque on the subject. In other news, the Fed is buying $60 billion per month in securities, a/k/a QE4. There's much more here.

Financial experts Gordon T. Long and Charles Hugh Smith join FSN for a discussion on what went/is going wrong with the American Experiment. Obviously among the culprits, corrupt government, corporatization, financialization and inflation to name just a few. The solution is very straight forward and simple. Go back to localization, bring back the institutions that once made America great. The mom and pop stores and merchants who had a connection with their communities. The bankers who lived amongst their borrowers. Effectively, it's a repersonalization of business as we know it.

Gordon T. Long joined us for a discussion of the emerging deDollarization trend. Besides being a diversification/defensive move for other nations, it's also a reaction to government efforts to impose American Justice outside US Borders. The US enemies list keeps on growing. Can we continue on like this and for how long? Gold has clearly been a beneficiary of this trend. It's back over $1300 again. Let's see what happens next.

Gordon T. Long has been watching auto sales for quite some time. Debt keeps going up and now sales are declining. Corporate debt has escalated and it has become a giant equity to debt swap. It can't keep going the way it's going and it won't. According to Gordon it's all just a matter of timing. The Fed will have to reverse course and flood the system with liquidity once again. Daddy where do business cycles come from?

Gordon T. Long joined us today. His theory as to why the stock market keeps going up is two fold. On the one hand, stock buybacks continue to proliferate and on the other, the number of publicly traded US companies has declined by nearly half over the decades (through buy-outs, mergers and taking them private). This means more concentration, more private equity and less publicly traded companies which is bad for the country. Time to put a stop to it all.

Jason Burack of Wall St for Main St had on returning guest, Gordon T Long http://www.gordontlong.com/Gordon is a financial repression expert who has many years of experience working in corporate finance as a Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and as a technology executive and investor. His full bio can be found here: http://www.gordontlong.com/About_Us.htmDuring this 40+ minute interview, Jason asks Gordon about why the global credit cycle is tightening and the negative consequences of it happening. Gordon talks about corporations doing financial engineering to grow earnings without increasing revenues and how leveraged buyouts (LBOs) has exploded since 2008 because of the availability of cheap credit. He thinks the yield curve has been fully distorted to benefit governments, large corporations, big banks and Wall St. Gordon thinks all of this ties into problems in the bond market, negative interest rates and financial repression. Next, Jason asks Gordon about the bank stocks collapsing and about a potential stock market crash. Gordon thinks it's likely in the near future and that gold and silver prices have most likely bottomed. However, Gordon thinks gold will be confiscated or heavily taxed by the US government as it continues to rise in price. Jason and Gordon discuss how silver may be safer than gold because governments are less likely to confiscate it than gold. To wrap up the show, Gordon talks about how many more taxes are being layered onto middle class people on Main St, USA and how it will destroy the real economy in the near future until this changes.
Jason Burack of Wall St for Main St had on returning guest Gordon T Long http://www.gordontlong.com/to talk about the emerging global cashless society and the war on cash and savings the economic and political elites have started. Jason and Gordon also discuss financial repression, asset bubbles, if financial repression can last 10 years or more going forward, China's QE and financial repression goals and whether global central banks are fighting a currency war or their actions are all coordinated in this 50+ minute discussion.
