In this episode on Palisades Gold Radio, Tom Bodrovics welcomes back Jaime Carrasco. Jaime is Senior Portfolio Manager & Senior Investment Advisor at Harbourfront Wealth Management. Jaime discusses the current economic landscape and the implications for investors. Carrasco emphasizes the importance of understanding the paradigm shift in the monetary system, particularly the role of gold and silver as sound money. Carrasco highlights that the global economy is facing a debt bubble, where each additional dollar of debt fails to stimulate growth, leading instead to social instability. He argues that this situation is similar to what Latin America experienced, with the US now reaching a critical point. Carrasco believes that the current fiat system is imploding, and gold will play a central role in the upcoming reset of the monetary system. He discusses the rise of gold prices across major currencies, noting that this reflects the decline in purchasing power of fiat currencies rather than an increase in gold's intrinsic value. Carrasco warns against complacency among financial advisors who fail to recognize these systemic changes and advises investors to allocate a significant portion of their portfolios to precious metals, particularly through well-managed mining companies. Carrasco also delves into the role of silver, emphasizing its structural deficit in production relative to demand, especially given the shift toward green energy. He suggests that silver's price will rise significantly as the global economy transitions, offering investors substantial opportunities. The interview touches on geopolitical dynamics, including China's strategic accumulation of gold and its influence on the global monetary system. Carrasco warns against trusting central banks and advocates for individual investors to establish their own "gold standards" to protect wealth. Finally, Carrasco advises investors to focus on stockpicking within the precious metals sector, emphasizing high-quality producers with strong management and leverage to rising metal prices. He encourages a long-term perspective, positioning oneself to benefit from the coming paradigm shift rather than trying to predict short-term price movements.

In this episode on Palisades Gold Radio, Tom Bodrovics welcomes back Jaime Carrasco. Jaime is Senior Portfolio Manager & Senior Investment Advisor at Harbourfront Wealth Management. They discuss the global economic landscape and the significance of gold in today's context. Carrasco expresses his belief that Trump's election and proposed policies could lead to a reset of debt and potential devaluation of US dollars held in treasuries around the world. He emphasizes the importance of understanding history, as previous periods saw significant increases in dividends from gold mining companies during times of monetary instability. Carrasco encourages investors to consider gold as a hedge against inflation, purchasing power loss, and political instability. He also recommends silver mining companies due to their current undervaluation compared to gold. Central banks are increasingly buying gold as a safe haven asset, and Trump's actions are aimed at rebuilding America for Americans, possibly necessitating a full reset. The location of US gold reserves and geopolitical issues like China's policy in Latin America, Europe's response to immigration, and the US-China-Russia alignment are significant sociological factors affecting the global economy. Despite the current uncertainty, Carrasco advocates for a decentralized world where nations can thrive and encourages investors to consider gold, silver, and Bitcoin as financial lifeboats.

Although the stock market is trading at all-time highs, it can go higher as investors reallocate money from underperforming bonds and Commercial Real Estate in particular. Many investors specifically prefer allocating much of their portfolio to the S & P 500. Warren Buffett, one of the greatest investors of all time, instructed a trustee to invest 90% of his cash in an S&P 500 index fund and 10% in short-term government bonds. According to Buffett, the market has gotten too efficient and claimed, “there are no bargains out there.” The S & P has shown remarkable predictability, resilience and appreciation. Bob Wiedemer is a Senior Investment Advisor at Bull Bear Investment Management, who helps his clients invest in S & P 500 index funds. Bob is also the Author of New York Times and Wall Street Journal Bestseller Aftershock and Fake Money, Real Danger.
