Podcast appearances and mentions of Simon Hunt

Tom welcomes back Simon Hunt, an expert on global economics, China, and the copper industry. Hunt discusses the escalating tensions between the U.S. and Iran, driven by Trump's tariff policies and geopolitical ambitions. He explains that these tensions could lead to regional conflicts, with significant implications for global markets and supply chains. Hunt also explores the broader shift in global power dynamics, highlighting how nations like China, Russia, and Iran are strengthening ties through organizations like BRICS. He warns that U.S.-China trade disputes, including high tariffs on Chinese goods, are causing severe disruptions to global supply chains and manufacturing sectors. These disruptions are expected to lead to a global economic slowdown or recession. The conversation delves into the potential impact of these developments on financial markets, particularly the value of the dollar, which Hunt suggests may undergo significant changes as countries seek alternative currencies tied to gold. He also discusses copper's role as an economic barometer, predicting price volatility and eventual increases due to supply chain disruptions and long-term demand shifts. Hunt concludes by emphasizing the uncertainty and chaos that dominate the current geopolitical landscape, urging caution for businesses and investors as they navigate this complex environment. The episode ends with a note on the importance of staying informed about global developments to understand their far-reaching implications.

In 1961, he came back to London and joined Anglo American Corporation of South Africa as a PA to one of the Board Directors, followed by being part of a small sales and marketing team for copper. From there, he helped start up a new copper development organization, CIDEC, financed by copper producers, which he then joined, focusing on conducting end-use studies of copper in Europe. He then went into the City to gain financial experience and founded Brook Hunt in 1975. He was instrumental in setting up the company's cost studies and end-use analyses. Simon appeared as material witness and consultant in two ITC anti-dumping cases in 1978 and 1984, winning both at the commission level. He has spent 2-4 months every year in China since 1993, and until a few years ago would be visiting some 80 wire and cable and brass mill factories across the country every year. He now restricts these factory visits to a smaller number, all of which he has known for many years. Simon also spends many weeks each year traveling around Asia. The focus of the company's services is on the global economy, including the changing geopolitical and financial structures, China's economy and its copper sector, and then the global copper industry as each part is interconnected. Simon is the author of the "Frontline China Report Service," which is marketed by the TIS Group. The Service provides regular reports on China's economy, politics, and financial outlook. Simon established this company in January 1996.

Simon Hunt discusses the evolving geopolitical landscape, particularly focusing on the tensions between the US, Russia, and the European Union. He highlights the implications of recent speeches and events, suggesting a shift in power dynamics and public sentiment in Europe. The discussion then transitions to the economic outlook, where Hunt expresses concerns about the American economy's trajectory, inflation metrics, and market sentiment amidst a new administration. In this conversation, Simon Hunt discusses the current economic outlook, emphasizing the lack of growth in Europe and the anticipated recovery in China. He predicts a significant correction in global equity markets and inflation trends reminiscent of the 1970s. Hunt also explores the future of base metal prices, the impact of climate cycles on food prices, and the dynamics of the gold market, particularly the strategies of central banks. He highlights the importance of understanding these trends for future investment decisions.This episode of Mining Stock Daily is brought to you by... Vizsla Silver is focused on becoming one of the world's largest single-asset silver producers through the exploration and development of the 100% owned Panuco-Copala silver-gold district in Sinaloa, Mexico.

Byd a caccia di componentistica europea. E il colosso cinese sceglie l'Italia come prima tappa del road show che lo porterà a toccare tutti i Paesi europei dove c è una presenza importante di imprese del comparto automotive. Il produttore di Shenzhen ha puntato la bussola su Torino, una delle culle dell auto in Italia. La tre giorni parte oggi al Museo dell Auto di Torino, a pochi giorni dalla presentazione dell Atto 2, nuovo modello del marchio del Dragone che ha ormai ingaggiato una sfida diretta con Tesla. Sarà un confronto con le imprese che si sono iscritte all evento, realizzato in collaborazione con l Anfia. Una tre giorni da tutto esaurito: 380 le aziende della componentistica che parteciperanno. Alla plenaria ha partecipato Zhiqi He, vicepresidente e capo acquisti di Byd, che ha presentato i programmi della multinazionale cinese nel Vecchio Continente: due nuove fabbriche, una in Ungheria, che sarà operativa da questo autunno e l altra in Turchia, prevista per il 2026. Per evitare i dazi imposti dalla Ue sulle auto made in China, Byd fa il suo ingresso in Europa con due unità produttive e un ambizioso piano commerciale. A spiegare le rotte dell azienda ci sarà anche Alfredo Altavilla, special advisor di Byd e già braccio destro di Sergio Marchionne ai tempi di Fca. Altavilla, nel suo ruolo di consulente per le strategie europee, spinge perché l industria automobilistica cinese cominci, per la prima volta, a fornirsi di componentistica made in Italy. E quelle competenze, oggi frustrate dalla crisi dell auto e dal rallentamento di Stellantis, sono state individuate soprattutto nella filiera piemontese, più di 700 imprese e 20 miliardi di ricavi. Intervengono con il loro punto di vista Marco Stella, vice presidente di ANFIA e Presidente del Gruppo Componenti di ANFIA e Filomena Greco, Il Sole 24 ore.Prada, quattro settimane per l'acquisto di Versace Il gruppo Prada prova ad accelerare per l acquisizione di Versace. Secondo indiscrezioni la società del lusso che fa capo a Miuccia Prada e Patrizio Bertelli e guidata da Andrea Guerra avrebbe fissato quattro settimane di trattative in esclusiva con la multinazionale Capri Holdings, attuale proprietaria del brand di Donatella Versace. Le discussioni di Prada, anticipate dal Sole 24 Ore lo scorso 10 gennaio, entrano dunque in una fase cruciale. L unione potrebbe mettere sotto lo stesso tetto due brand leggendari e potrebbe segnare il ritorno del gruppo Prada all espansione tramite M&A: secondo indiscrezioni, all interno della famiglia sarebbe in corso una riflessione per valutare l impatto di una acquisizione di questo tipo.Il gruppo Prada è infatti cresciuto negli ultimi anni in maggior misura in modo organico. Nella prima metà degli anni 2000, invece, il gruppo aveva avviato una campagna di acquisizioni, sul modello delle grandi conglomerate del lusso francesi, per poi fermarsi successivamente. Tra le acquisizioni principali del passato ci sono state quelle di Helmut Lang per 40 milioni di dollari, di Jil Sander per 105 milioni di dollari, entrambe poi cedute, e del gruppo Church s per 170 milioni di dollari. Facciamo chiarezza con Carlo Festa, Il Sole 24 Ore.Campari corre in borsa sui 500 tagli al personale Taglio dei costi e razionalizzazione del portafoglio marchi di Campari. In attesa di presentarsi ufficialmente al mercato il 4 marzo per illustrare i conti annuali del gruppo milanese, conti che però non portano la sua firma, la sfida del top manager britannico Simon Hunt per risollevare la marginalità di Campari parte dalla sforbiciata ai costi. Secondo indiscrezioni di stampa, a un mese dal suo insediamento il nuovo ad del colosso italiano degli spirits ha preparato un primo intervento di risparmi con cui provare a invertire la china di un ebitda (590,7 milioni di euro) che a livello organico nei primi nove mesi dello scorso anno ha segnato una diminuzione del 2%, in calo drastico a due cifre (-14%) nel solo terzo trimestre. Le forbici si abbatteranno sui costi fissi e in particolare su quello del lavoro. Già a fine ottobre, in occasione della presentazione della trimestrale, Campari aveva fatto capire che la riorganizzazione avrebbe potuto coinvolgere anche il corpo dei dipendenti. Con 25 stabilimenti in giro per il mondo e una rete distributiva propria in oltre 26 Paesi, Campari impiega quasi 5 mila persone. Il piano di Hunt prevede che a livello globale venga ridotto del 10% il numero dei dipendenti, da mettere subito fuori perimetro, percentuale dunque che corrisponde a circa 500 addetti. Di questi, 100 lavoratori sono in Italia, inclusa una ventina di dirigenti. A questo potrebbe poi aggiungersi un ulteriore sforbiciata ad altri costi non ritenuti necessari. Ne parliamo con Giorgia Colucci, Radiocor.

Potrebbe essere già giunto al capolinea il governo di Michel Barnier, in Francia dopo solo due mesi. Oggi verranno discusse e poi votate (intorno alle 20) in Assemblea nazionale le mozioni di sfiducia nei confronti dell'esecutivo presentate dal Nuovo Fronte Popolare e dal Rassemblement National. Ieri in serata è arrivato l'ultimo appello di Barnier in un'intervista su Tf1. "Auspico, ed è possibile" che le due mozioni di sfiducia non vengano votate, ha dichiarato il primo ministro secondo cui se il governo cadesse "quasi 18 milioni di francesi vedranno aumentare le loro imposte sul reddito". Ottimista il presidente Macron: "Non posso credere che il Rassemblement National voterà la mozione di sfiducia del Nuovo Fronte Popolare". Macron ha invitato i legislatori francesi a mettere da parte le loro ambizioni personali e a rifiutare un voto che farebbe cadere il governo e getterebbe il Paese nello scompiglio politico. Secondo Politico, il prossimo nel mirino di Marine Le Pen sarebbe il presidente Emmanuel Macron. Ne abbiamo discusso con Danilo Ceccarelli - collaboratore de Il Sole 24 ore da Parigi.Campari fino a +5% in borsa sulla notizia del nuovo ADCampari scatta a Piazza Affari, arrivando a guadagnare circa cinque punti e festeggiando la notizia che è stato scelto un nuovo amministratore delegato che da gennaio guiderà il gruppo. Si tratta di Simon Hunt, che piace al mercato visto che vanta una esperienza di oltre 30 anni nel settore dei premium spirit. Subentra agli attuali co-Ceo ad interim Paolo Marchesini, chief financial and operating officer, e Fabio Di Fede, chief legal and M&A officer. A settembre, dopo soli 5 mesi in carica, Matteo Fantacchiotti, che aveva preso il posto di Bob Kunze-Concewitz, si era dimesso da Ceo e membro del Cda per motivi personali ed erano stati nominati i due co-Ceo. Il manager ha lavorato per le principali aziende del settore degli alcolici, maturando competenza nei mercati internazionali, in particolare nel mercato strategico degli Stati Uniti, così come nei mercati emergenti. Più recentemente, dopo due anni come consulente strategico per chief executive e cda di aziende di spirit premium, Simon Hunt è stato nominato nel 2022 ceo di Catalyst Spirits, un incubatore di marchi. Ne abbiamo parlato con Dino Pesole, Il Sole 24 Ore.Autotrasporto chiede al Ministro Salvini la convocazione del Tavolo al MITRiattivare il tavolo dell autotrasporto per affrontare i problemi del settore, fondamentale per la logistica e l economia del Paese. La richiesta di UNATRAS, il Coordinamento unitario delle principali associazioni nazionali dell autotrasporto, al Ministro delle Infrastrutture e dei Trasporti Matteo Salvini. L autotrasporto movimenta oltre due terzi delle merci trasportate in Italia ed è un elemento essenziale per il funzionamento della logistica, delle filiere produttive e distributive. Tuttavia, le imprese del comparto devono affrontare criticità crescenti, tra cui problemi economici, normativi e gestionali. Nella lettera inviata al Ministro Salvini -riportata di seguito- Unatras ribadisce l importanza della riattivazione del Tavolo per un confronto con il Governo su: sostegno economico per la transizione ecologica, tempi di pagamento e gestione tempi di carico e scarico, valori di riferimento dei costi di esercizio dell autotrasporto, decreti legislativi attuativi del Codice della Strada. Intanto le associazioni di settore sono alle prese con un problema di scarsità degli autisti e con una serie di richieste sindacali che potrebbero sfociare in uno sciopero il prossimo 9 e 10 dicembre. Ne abbiamo discusso con Sergio Lomonte, segretario della Confartigianato Trasporti.

Simon Hunt sees a vastly different world ahead, where BRICS nations turn the tables on Western hegemony by undermining the dollar in a currency war that will run alongside a kinetic war across the Middle East and Europe. Simon discusses why we are on the precipice of World War 3, how commodities will perform in a scenario of expanding global conflict, why gold holds the key to sheltering from the economic storm ahead, and much more.

Tom Bodrovics welcomes back consultant Simon Hunt to delve into the distinctions between Western-oriented and impartial perspectives in global analysis. Their conversation evolves around the potential threats to the West's global supremacy from the BRICS collective, spearheaded by China and Russia. This power transition could result in a loss of control over events and even the likelihood of war should diplomacy falter. The discussion also encompasses America's historic aim to fragment Russia, recent geopolitical strains, and potential clashes in Israel and Iran. Simon discusses the ongoing geopolitical stressors and their consequences for financial markets. Their discourse centers around the US-Russia confrontation, the influence of the deep state or neoconservatives on foreign policy, and the ramifications for oil prices, copper markets, and US equities and bonds. Simon posits that Russia's reaction to Western antagonisms will be restrained but impactful, potentially triggering a substantial increase in inflation and a readjustment of monetary policy. The conversation also explores the potential repercussions of crises in Ukraine and the Middle East on the global economy. Mr. Hunt discusses the motivations behind central banks and nations, specifically China, amassing vast quantities of gold as a safeguard against prospective currency devaluation and financial instability. He also voices his opinions on China's housing market collapse being an intended move by the government to lessen local governments' indebtedness and establish a foundation for future centralized fiscal and monetary policies if war occurs. Simon proposes that China is preparing for potential economic difficulties while maintaining a prudent stance in its fiscal and monetary policy. Simon explores various economic matters, such as demographic problems in both the US and China, the legitimacy of economic statistics, and his views on market trends over the next few years. He suggests that the US economy might be experiencing a recession based on authentic data like deflated retail sales and employment numbers, true inflation rates, and genuine unemployment figures, which he believes are more precise indicators of economic activity than formal GDP or CPI numbers. Simon asserts that numerous countries, including the US and much of Europe, are either in a recession or heading towards one. He also expresses apprehension over governments manipulating information and the increasing mistrust among people due to heightened awareness. In terms of market predictions, Simon anticipates a steep decline in global equity markets and base metals by early next year, followed by inflation and a surge in long-term interest rates, culminating in a collapse of the financial system by 2028.

Tom welcomes back Simon Hunt to the show. They discuss various economic and geopolitical issues shaping the global landscape. Topics range from potential conflicts and their impact on markets to the shift towards physical assets and a gold-backed monetary system. Simon touches upon underreported inflation, economic instability in America, China's role in reshaping the global economy, potential crisis scenarios, and the importance of diplomacy versus war. Simon is concerned about the risk of conflicts escalating, with Russia as a key player, and the emergence of gold-backed currencies to counteract perceived vulnerabilities in fiat currencies. Additionally, they discuss the significance of rising interest rates, potential crises, and implications for U.S. elections and global geopolitical outcomes. Throughout, Simon encourages caution and emphasizes the importance of understanding the underlying economic trends and geopolitical dynamics.

Shift towards gold-backed currencies is inevitable as countries seek alternatives to perceived vulnerabilities in fiat currencies, with China and Russia likely taking a leading role. Diplomacy could prevent war, but tensions between the US and countries like Russia suggest that war may be an outcome if Washington continues to support the dollar at the expense of its treasury market. Guest Links:Email: simon@shss.comWebsite: https://simon-hunt.com/ Simon Hunt began his career in 1956 in Central Africa as a PA to the Chairman of Rhodesian Selection Trust, one of the two large copper companies in what was then Northern Rhodesia, now Zambia. In 1961, he came back to London and joined Anglo American Corporation of South Africa as a PA to one of the Board Directors, followed by being part of a small sales and marketing team for copper. From there, he helped start up a new copper development organization, CIDEC, financed by copper producers, which he then joined, focusing on conducting end-use studies of copper in Europe. He then went into the City to gain financial experience and founded Brook Hunt in 1975. He was instrumental in setting up the company's cost studies and end-use analyses. Simon appeared as material witness and consultant in two ITC anti-dumping cases in 1978 and 1984, winning both at the commission level. He has spent 2-4 months every year in China since 1993, and until a few years ago would be visiting some 80 wire and cable and brass mill factories across the country every year. He now restricts these factory visits to a smaller number, all of which he has known for many years. Simon also spends many weeks each year traveling around Asia. The focus of the company's services is on the global economy, including the changing geopolitical and financial structures, China's economy and its copper sector, and then the global copper industry as each part is interconnected. Simon is the author of the "Frontline China Report Service," which is marketed by the TIS Group. The Service provides regular reports on China's economy, politics, and financial outlook. Simon established this company in January 1996.

This morning, Trevor connected with Simon Hunt of Simon Hunt Strategic Services. The premise of the conversation was to discuss the current copper market and China's involvement with the spot price. We do discuss this, including some of the latest news out of China's smelting capacity. But the conversation also provides a backdrop of geopolitical escalations with both Russia and Israel. These dynamics could have very powerful headwinds for the commodities complex, which Simon believes is getting ahead of itself at the current moment.

The last time Simon Hunt was on this channel, he predicted a rocky road ahead for the global economy, that will eventually culminate in the massive pile of $trillions in global unserviceable debt going into default causing a worldwide depression by 2025. Since his last appearance, the markets have become a lot more optimistic, US Q3 GDP hit 4.9% and inflation has marching downwards to 3% -- all positives. Though on the negative side, US deficits & debt balances have soared, leading economic indicators have fallen to recessionary levels, and the Middle East has been plunged into war. Today we'll ask commodities expert and geopolitical analyst Simon Hunt how any of this impacts his dire forecast for 2024/2025.

Tom welcomes back Simon Hunt to discuss the global economy and global political reality. Simon Hunt discusses the global economy and the rapidly declining trust between governments. Physical consumption of copper is weak and weakening, indicative of either being in a recession or entering one shortly. The various PMI indexes are pointing clearly to recession in the United States and savings rates are falling. Markets are propped up by the reported levels of employment, however he questions some of the data as companies are cutting hours. Europe is in a political mess with Germany in recession, and he expects the global economy to continue poorly into the fourth quarter. Russia understands America's role in the Ukraine War and it's clear the West wants to dismember Russia for control of their natural resources. He anticipates the leadership in Russia to soon take the gloves off with Ukraine, resulting in a dramatic decline in western Equity Markets by the end of the year. This coupled with an increase in the conflict will result in western Central Banks to flush the system with money, causing horrendous inflation and a rapidly falling dollar. Most G7 countries have severe demographic problems, particularly Germany, which could be their last decade as a powerful country due to lack of population. The BRICS+ nations have positive demographics and Iran is a sleeping giant with foreign investment pouring into the country exploring and developing their resources. Real war is coming to Ukraine when Russia takes the gloves off, forcing the West to make some hard choices. This could dramatically escalate should Nato may enter the war more openly. Iran has contingency plans in the event that Israel or the USA tries to intervene and they are fully capable of shutting down the straights of Hormuz. Simon believes there is not much time left for contingency planning by Western individuals and companies.

My returning guest on this episode of The Grant Williams Podcast is a dear friend of many years - Simon Hunt, founder and proprietor of Simon Hunt Strategic Services. Simon's experience in China over four decades has provided me with an important counterpoint to many Western-based views of the Middle Kingdom over the years - one firmly rooted in personal experience, deep personal connections and a willingness to look past consensus thinking. In this conversation, we discuss the status quo in China along with the wider geopolitical situation, Simon's roadmap for the next couple of years and... TRIGGER ALERT... we expand upon comments Simon made about non-consensus climate change possibilities during his last appearance on the podcast.

Simon Hunt returns for Part 2 of this interview to share his forecast on the markets, which is: Rest of 2022: economy slows, inflation comes down, markets sink 2023-2024: central banks pivot, asset prices (and inflation) re-ignite -- this is the "last chance to build wealth" in Simon's eyes -- high inflation + high interest rates (11% range) + war demands grind the economy down 2025-2027: economy sinks into global depression https://youtu.be/iyVYQzW_MNU

Today we hear from Simon Hunt, one of the world's foremost experts on the copper industry. When Simon first appeared on this program back in March, he forecasted that extremely volatile times lay ahead that will be punctuated by fierce rallies & sharp declines -- with the overall trend moving from stagflation to deflation. This seems to indeed be the script playing out here in 2022. He also told us that by 2025, Simon sees a good chance the massive pile of $trillions in global unserviceable debt will go into default, resulting in an immensely painful economic crisis. Given that half a year has gone by, we thought we'd check in with Simon to see how his forecast is changing, if at all. https://youtu.be/m1V6QNIRMHg

The author of a new report on widespread pollution around the aluminium smelter at Tiwai Point in Southland says he found key contaminants left out of an earlier study done by the smelter company.

Tom welcomes back Simon Hunt to discuss the global economy and the rapidly declining trust between governments. Simon notes that global trust is rapidly disintegrating, and often that trust is replaced by war. The Western economies are quite likely to flat line or enter into recession by the end of the year. Central Banks are more fearful of recession trends than inflation. In the end, their choice is either hyperinflation or recession. This winter we will see huge food inflation, driven both by policy and environmental problems. The world is going to have moderate growth, but inflation will be persistent across everything. It is human nature to stock up when prices are rising, which will exacerbate supply problems. Russia has determined that the West will not listen to their concerns. Therefore, they are taking steps to ensure their own survival. The American policy is clearly to control and collapse foreign economies. The BRICS nations have been trying to create alternatives to the West's systems. Simon is concerned with how America will respond when alternative currencies appear. Saudi Arabia has announced their intention to join the BRICS. Putin has recently stated, "The economy of mythical entities is inevitably being replaced with one of real value and assets." The pivot from the dollar has been in place for some time. Fed policy is only going to accelerate the process. By the middle of 2023 we will probably see a big fall in the dollar index. This will happen when Russia, China and others start operating with a new currency. Commodities under a new BRICS currency system will be used as a benchmark, and this will include gold. Tensions are likely to continue to worsen between China and the United States. When empires historically fail they are left with one option which is war. The U.S. is militarizing countries around China, including Taiwan. They are openly calling for Taiwan's independence. China wants to avoid war, as the next government in Taiwan is likely to move closer to China. Simon discusses commodities and where copper will likely head over the next couple of years. The LME has become very much a casino. He believes volatility will continue across all commodities. Managing and hedging that volatility will be crucial.

Here in Part 2 of our interview with Simon Hunt, he advises investors prepare for the buying opportunity later this year to ride the "rescue" our central banks will attempt to conduct by reverting back to Quantitative Easing from their current Quantitative Tightening campaigns. Simon projects that will be the last upward rally before the epic bust he thinks will follow. Investors should use it as a time to sell and amass dry powder to deploy later on, when prices will be much lower. See the YouTube Video for the charts and graphics: https://youtu.be/tvDX2hD_vlM

In this interview, I talk with Simon Hunt, one of the world's foremost experts on the copper industry. Why? Because copper is often referred to as "Doctor Copper" given its ability to predict turning points in the global economy. Due to its widespread use across nearly every commercial sector, demand for copper is akin to the economy's heartbeat, which is why it's viewed as such a dependable leading indicator of economic health. So what is Dr Copper telling us now? I ask Simon this question and his answer is one of the most comprehensive, detailed and actionable predictions I've yet heard.

As we move into a new year, I'm delighted to welcome an old friend, Simon Hunt, to the podcast to kick off what could be yet another dramatic twelve months. Simon has been spending several months each year on the ground in China for almost three decades and has built an extraordinary network which gives him unique insight into the reality behind countless opinions offered by distant ‘analysts'. In this hugely enjoyable hour, we discuss what's really happening in the Middle Kingdom, the importance of strengthening of ties between Russia, China, Iran and other Middle Eastern countries against a backdrop of a U.S. retrenchment, the possible size of Russian and Chinese gold reserves as well as Simon's latest thoughts on the copper market - something about which his knowledge is extensive. This was the perfect way to kick of 2022. Happy New Year to you all!

For all the recent noise around "Net Zero 2050", nobody is actually talking about how it can be achieved. Ballarat based innovator Simon Hunt has drafted a practical proposal to break the paralysis in climate change action. If it was implemented immediately, Simon claims it could reach the 2050 target a staggering 24 years early! The proposal doesn't need government funding. It doesn't need corporate investment. So why is it being ignored by big business and government? Why aren't more people talking about it?

Tom welcomes back Simon Hunt to discuss the generational risks in the global economy. There are growing bubbles everywhere, along with enormous amounts of speculation, overvalued markets, and geopolitical tensions which all appear to be worsening. In addition, we have central bankers running wild. Debt can't continue to grow faster than the economy. Navigating these risks is difficult. You can either run with the crowd or take preventative actions. Interestingly, two countries China and Russia have chosen to take prudent action for their economies. They are preparing for the monetary collapse outside of their countries. They understand that this will end badly. Simon discusses consumer sentiment and how it is signaling higher prices and high inflation. We're seeing inflation running hotter than income. We're going to see a slow down in global business activity soon. The Fed will certainly respond with more money regardless of its severity. We're going to see a complete run on the metals because they will be hedging into harder assets and equities. Somewhere around 2025, the US dollar index will be halved to under fifty. We will have a strong inflationary period into 2024 and that's when we start seeing a collapse similar to 1929-1932. Once we come out of this period we should see a long period of good stable growth. The geopolitical risk appears to be increasing in Eastern Ukraine due largely to western interest and arms sales. This is likely a red-line for Russia and at some point, there will be a response that could mean war in Ukraine. China is less likely to take Taiwan over militarily but there are red lines that could be also be crossed by the West. China and Russia both hold very significant gold reserves higher than what they are reporting. Lastly, Simon gives us his outlook on where copper prices could head and how they may be manipulated. Prices could correct if there are any surprise economic shocks or the economy weakens. However, there has been significant pent-up demand for some products which will maintain or increase demand next year.

Tom welcomes a new guest Simon Hunt to discuss the global economy and the copper industry. Simon expects a significant correction in copper prices this summer. Copper is now part of the speculative money game, and it's not industry driving the price. There is a substantial need for copper and aluminum in energy and electrification. However, higher prices lead to innovation, and if copper prices are here to stay, you will see serious substitution. Copper used to act as an economic barometer, but since 2011, this has not been the case. The most significant factor driving copper prices is the future world economy. Inflation will burn off a lot of the fiscal and monetary stimulus. Personal income has declined when factored for inflation. We are experiencing stagflation. He believes that by 2024 we will be in a crisis since debt is growing faster than GDP. Western Central banks are deliberately blowing up the system so they can introduce a different structure. It probably will involve digital currencies and a world system based on equity, not debt. China and Russia are in the lead, preparing themselves by reducing dollars and a far further along in introducing digital currencies. China holds vast quantities of gold, which will become part of China's future monetary system. Simon believes that China has no interest in being a reserve currency; instead, they want a multi-polar system. China's focus is no longer on growth but on preparing for difficult times. They are now pursuing orthodox monetary policies. He expects a bounce in the dollar but an eventual halving of the dollar index. Fewer and fewer want to hold dollars due to the enormous fiscal and monetary stimulus programs. We will move into a new commodity supercycle around 2027, and the financial community is not taking note of the short-term cycles. The real commodity supercycle won't begin until after a major crash.

Waffle Episode 5 - This week Paul talks to school teacher Simon Hunt about writing poetry with children and the international effects it can have.First broadcast on Rossendale Radio on September 29th 2019.

EPISODE NOTES   In this episode, Claire meets with Simon Hunt, a Year 4 teacher at Tottington Primary School in Bury. Alongside his teaching, Simon has developed his own website ‘Mr Hunt from the front’, and built online social media feeds, from where he offers advice, resources and CPD for teachers and schools.    Although arriving in teaching slightly later than normal, Simon has taught across all phases of Primary Education, and has worked in a variety of schools as a supply teacher and a permanent member of staff.    Simon talks with Claire about how sharing some resources on a Facebook page ‘took off’ and led to him reducing his teaching hours to offer CPD opportunities and work on a number of different projects with schools and other organisations such as HP and BT.    Discussing teaching in the classroom, Simon talks about the importance of giving children a purpose for their work, how beneficial it can be to take risks in teaching, and how technology can be incredibly useful if used well.   Simon shares exciting stories from his career including how a video of him ‘flossing’ went viral, and how a unit of work in class around the film ‘Blackfish’ eventually led to him taking a group of children to Brussels to deliver a petition to the European Parliament, attend a red-carpet film premiere, and take on representatives from SeaWorld in a question and answer session.       KEY TAKEAWAYS Never be afraid to take risks and give things a go. The best lessons and most valuable learning experiences can follow from activities where a bit of risk is involved. Being risk-averse can also inadvertently mean we put a ‘cap’ on where activities might go without considering what could actually be achieved. Taking risks does, of course, mean that things might go wrong or not work, but it’s worth remembering that usually a lot will go right.  Remember that teachers should be facilitators of learning. In an ideal lesson, teachers should be able take a ‘step back’ with the children doing the work. While teachers do still have a role teaching and helping to guide what happens in their lessons, with a little groundwork, children can usually confidently guide themselves in their learning more than we might think.  There are no limits to where lessons can take you. By allowing children to take more of a lead with their learning, a lesson’s direction can go in an infinite, and exciting, number of ways. It can be surprising and enlightening to see where children can take the direction of a lesson and what learning opportunities present themselves. Teaching children how to be resilient, to think critically and how to analyse arguments are incredibly valuable skills in the modern world. With almost constant social media exposure and pervasive factually incorrect reporting, giving children the skills to critically analyse what they are told and be resilient enough to deal with negativity is crucial. While there are many valid reasons for us to be wary of, and keep a watchful eye on, use of social media, it should not be something to shy away from using as it does offer many opportunities both through opening up teaching and learning points, but also for building links with other individuals or organisations who can offer valuable opportunities. Work with a purpose. Keeping the work that children do purposeful and valid will be a powerful motivator for them to continually do their best. Writing to or messaging real people or companies (in particular authors) who can look at the children’s work, give interviews or write back to the class will give the children a reason for their work and encourage them to put their best into tasks knowing that the result might be seen by others outside the school. Learn from mistakes. Things do go wrong or just don’t work as intended – particularly where risks are taken. Teachers can be especially self-critical, but we need to learn to be ok with it when this happens. Even things that go wrong are learning opportunities and, as long as you’re learning, it’s worth it. Tap into creative writing by allowing children to write for themselves. It can help to promote interest in writing where children can experiment with language and can write for themselves without worrying about it being assessed and marked. Having their own ‘draft’ book or ‘jotter’ just to have a go at writing whatever they want can take the pressure away from feeling like they should only write if it is going to be their best. Use technology wisely. Technology in the classroom can be incredibly useful and can really enhance learning. However, it shouldn’t just be used for the sake of it or because it’s there. Tablet computers which are just used day-in-day-out for internet research are not making the best use of that technology. Likewise, loading 60 apps onto a tablet that people don’t know how to make the best use of will likely go unused.      BEST MOMENTS   “It’s great because I get four days in class which is still the favourite part of my week.” “When I do CPD sessions for example, or when I go into schools, everything I talk about that works, I can say I know it works because I did it last week or I did it the week before. I think teachers relate to that because I’m still in the classroom, I’m still in touch with what’s going on.”    “I’m glad I took that risk. If I hadn’t have done I wouldn’t have known about these other things that could have happened. I would have still loved it in my class, I’d still have been in class full-time but I wouldn’t have had these opportunities that I’ve had. I love teaching. I think it’s the best job in the world and I wouldn’t have it any other way.”     “It was the best lesson I’ve ever done. I literally just stood in the corner while the children had a full-on debate and discussion with a scientist - someone that’s been on TV.”     “That saying ‘whatever happens in Vegas stays in Vegas’... schools should have the opposite effect. Whatever happens in the classroom should go out of the classroom. That really explains what I’m about. By giving children the tools to look at both sides of an argument and make their own viewpoints, it’s just a skill to have no matter what you look at.”     “Sometimes things don’t always go well, but I think you learn just as much from those things that don’t go well as something that does.”    “A lot of the children say they want to be a YouTuber [when they’re older]. That’s one of the number one things. As a teacher you can either just ignore that or you can tap into it a little bit. When we do poetry we always record it because poetry is supposed to be performed.

YES I KNOW IT'S BEEN QUITE A WHILE I'VE BEEN VERY BUSY SORRY LOL.  The good news is this episode is well worth the wait. Simon Hunt is a political satirist, film maker, lecturer, sound designer, musician and activist who's best known for his creation "Pauline Pantsdown" - a hugely popular and scathing parody of the One Nation politician Pauline Hanson.  In this extraordinary chat (recorded on the day of Mardi Gras 2016), Simon recounts his experiences of growing up gay in NSW in the 80s and explains his his fascination with religious right-wingers like Fred Nile and Anita Bryant, his politicisation in the face of the AIDS crisis, how he came to create Pantsdown and what Hanson says about us as a country today. Plus he's got some stories that are fucking funny.  The World Keeps Happening at the Melbourne Comedy Festival Boundless Plains To Share at the Melbourne Comedy Festival My episode of Wil Anderson’s Wilosophy My piece for The Saturday Paper on visiting detention centres and writing a comedy show about refugees  SBS’s The Feed story on Boundless Plains To Share @PPantsdown   Pauline on Facebook Pantsdown clips on YouTube Pauline Pantsdown on the Star Observer Electoral Guerilla Theatre in Australia: Pauline Hanson vs. Pauline Pantsdown by Lawrence M.
