Porter reveals why no major media outlet will cover his best-selling book, American Jubilee, which has sold over 50,000 copies in the last few months. Is the dirty math at General Electric about to get a lot worse? Porter has new information about dubious accounting practices used at GE that could potentially put the conglomerate in the same league as Enron. He offers a solution for corporate America that would immediately stop the crazy debt madness and financial shenanigans found at some major public companies. Dan Denning of the Bill Bonner Letter joins Buck and Porter to talk about the early days of Porter’s publishing business, why he recently traveled 3,000 miles out west looking for “bolt hole” communities, how he hates to disagree with Steve Sjuggerud, and what newsletters he’s reading these days for ideas and inspiration. The mailbag is filled with questions about Porter’s natural gas prediction, capital efficiency, and the Stansberry Alliance. One listener writes in to tell everyone how he was almost “Bucked” on a position in GE before he heard Porter’s analysis. 0:38: Porter tells Buck about his new status as a best-selling author, and theorizes about why the New York Times will never put him on their bestseller list. 4:00: Porter reads from Grant’s Interest Rate Observer regarding the Multi-Employer Pension Reform Act of 2014 that gives pension plans an avenue to reduce payments to their beneficiaries up to 50%. 7:18: What’s going on in the FBI? Buck breaks down the latest in the FBI’s alleged plans to take down Trump’s campaign in what could be a bigger scandal than Watergate, and why he’s still reserving judgement. 10:35: Buck makes a prediction if Democrats take Congress this fall: They will impeach Donald Trump. It’s what their base will demand they run on – but even if they take control, one threshold in the Senate might save Trump. 12:43: Porter shares his own radical fix for our broken, circular-firing squad politics: Give citizens voting power equal to the taxes they pay. “Look at the history of our democracy since we went to universal suffrage – they’re not good outcomes.” 23:15: Porter picks apart the lie that ballooning CEO compensation is “just what the market bears out” and reveals why the situation with GE is about to get $20 billion worse. 27:36: Buck introduces Dan Denning, and Porter shares the story of how he was broke, recently fired, and “at loose ends” when Dan’s seemingly small but momentous gesture let him launch a newsletter empire. 30:22: Porter asks Dan which newsletters he’s reading these days and he tells you why he never likes to disagree with Steve Sjuggerud. Dan gives Porter a tip about a favorite new writer he’s reading that you’ve likely never heard of before. 36:49: Dan tells you about his recent 3,000-mile journey in the western US looking for “bolt hole” communities that you can move to in times of crisis. He found whole parts of America that are emptying out, but offering great opportunities in real estate and peace of mind. 40:09: There’s one recommendation that probably embodies his investing philosophy better than any other – Hershey – and Porter reveals what makes it so special. Dan shares the two qualities he looks for, and the investment that went up 5,000% after he recommended it. 45:44: There’s only one area where Porter thinks Agora founder Bill Bonner’s been wrong for as long as he’s known him, and that’s his general aversion to the stock market. “Aren’t you giving up too much upside?” 49:26: Dan explains why history is of little help making sense of today’s markets where traditional asset class relationships don’t seem to be working anymore. Porter agrees and goes into detail on how the true barometer of financial excesses today isn’t in the stock market. 58:34: With a small amount of envy, Porter shares the findings from the full audit of Steve Sjuggerud’s newsletter recommendations, and how since inception of his letter in 2001, the average gain is 20.6% – a record that beats virtually every hedge fund and mutual fund, and doubles the S&P 500’s return. 1:06:02: Buck reaches into the mailbag and pulls out a question from Jim T., who asks Porter how he gets his prediction that natural gas prices will rise to $10 when fracking is already unleashing such a supply glut. Porter responds it all comes down to what the Chinese will STOP doing.
Porter tells you about what really happened at General Electric (GE) under the reign of Jack Welch and his successors. It’s the story of an unholy partnership between big government and big media. A tragedy of paper money, financial speculation and excessive greed. Porter explains what GE has been doing since the mid-90s, and it has nothing to do with lightbulbs, locomotives, or power plants. GE has been involved in a gigantic financial gamble for decades…right under the nose of shareholders. The SEC is now investigating the company’s accounting, and Porter explains how GE could easily become the next Enron or Lehman. Buck and Porter welcome Steve Sjuggerud, editor of True Wealth and Porter’s long-time partner at Stansberry Research. Steve reveals how much longer the stock market MeltUp can continue, which warning sign to look for from the government that has consistently preceded the last three market corrections, and a recommendation for Buck on the easiest way to invest in the China boom.
Buck channels his best Arianna Huffington to help Porter understand what’s happening to men in America’s boardrooms. Porter digs into auto loans and reveals the canary in the coal mine to watch in the oil business.

Special guest Steve Sjuggerud shares what he found on his recent trip to China and how to join his next investor webinar at www.MeltUpBriefing.com.
We promised you a brand-new podcast show to start off 2015 and today we're delivering on that promise. Since Dr. Sjuggerud joined Stansberry Research in 2001, he has found super-safe, profitable investment ideas for his subscribers that the average investor simply never hears about... until the big gains have already been made. Starting today, you'll be able to hear Steve discuss these ideas with his co-host and senior analyst Brett Eversole. Together they'll recap the markets, tell you what's "cheap, hated, and in an uptrend," and let you listen in as they interview the legends in the financial markets. So today, to kick off the start of our brand-new podcast, Inside True Wealth, Steve calls his good friend Peter Churchouse, a true pioneer in the Asian markets. He's lived in Hong Kong since 1980. He worked alongside Barton Biggs to start Morgan Stanley's first Asian office. And he then headed Morgan Stanley's Asian Real Estate Research department for 16 years. Peter's been out of the investment banking business for more than decade but he's still 100% in tune with the Asian markets. In 2009, he began writing The Churchouse Letter – which is the absolute best newsletter we've seen focused on Asian markets. Plus for all of Steve's listeners, Peter is offering a huge discount. Listen here to get the promo code. In today's show, Steve and Peter dive in China's stock market. Both made bold calls on a Chinese stock market boom a few months back... and both have been absolutely correct so far. Now, after a few months of incredible gains, where does Peter believe China's market is headed? He answers that question as well as explains exactly why China is booming today. Peter is an expert in Chinese stocks and Asian markets. And he lays it all out in today's episode. Additionally, Steve speaks with Brendan Ahern of KraneShares – an ETF issuer focused on Chinese markets. Brendan built his career in the world of ETFs. And KraneShares offers the most innovative products for U.S. investors interested in China. Steve and Brendan discuss the opportunity in China and a few of the best – and easiest – ways to invest today.
