Recap.:

Friends of the show call in with their questions and comments.

The first caller wants to know if it is prudent to buy or rent a home.

The Rule of 100 yields a home price estimate - multiply comparable monthly rent by 100: $1,000 per month in rent suggests a price of $100,000.

Gold and silver remain the quintessential portfolio insurance - when every other asset fails, gold and silver lined life boats will save the day.

Given Dr. Ron Paul’s latest video (Figure 1.1.) where he claims that millions of investors will be wiped out in the coming financial collapse, the seven year cycle noted by Martin Armstrong, the Shemitah seven year cycle and the fact that there hasn’t been even a 10% stock market correction since 2011, the precious metals remain an essential asset class for every portfolio.

A 25% allocation is sufficient to offset financial carnage.

Younger investors are encouraged to increase the allocation percentage while seniors can use PMs dividends to boost investment income.

It is advisable to use the sluggish price levels as an opportunity to lower their dollar cost average gold / silver price.

PMs facilitate higher asset risk without jeopardizing overall safety, and as every student of finance knows, higher risk can equate with improved reward when managed scientifically.

Gold and silver are the bedrock / cornerstone of a portfolio. Would you try to build a house without a foundation?

Investors are urged to ask how much they can lose without a solid PMs foundation before asking how much they can gain from a popular stock.

The Alpha Stocks Portfolio is facilitated by a rigorous correlation matrix analysis to maximize overall return and minimize losses.

Alpha stocks portfolios regularly offer expected returns of 30-50% annually and zero expect losses (optimized portfolio results).

The portfolio facilitates peace of mind of knowing that funds are maximized and losses minimized.

For a limited time, new subscriptions are offered with zero risk, if you are not satisfied after the first 30 days, a refund is issued and account canceled without further obligation.

John from San Diego expresses doubts about the economic recovery.

Vidya anticipates a stock market buying opportunity after a correction.

Friends of the show call in with their questions and comments. The first caller wants to know if it is prudent to buy or rent a home. The Rule of 100 yields a home price estimate. Simply multiply comparable monthly rent by 100: $1,000 per month in rent suggests a price of $100,000 for a comparable home price (100 x $1,000 or $100,000). Gold and silver remain the quintessential portfolio insurance - when every other asset fails, gold and silver lined life boats will save the day. Given Dr. Ron Paul’s latest video (Figure 1.1.) Where he claims that millions of investors will be wiped out in the coming financial maelstrom, the seven year cycle noted by Martin Armstrong, the Shemitah seven year cycle from Rabbi Cahn (see video down this page) and the fact that there hasn’t been even a 10% stock market correction since 2011, the precious metals remain an essential asset class for every portfolio.

The unbroken 12 year bull market in gold, which never recorded a down year, required a consolidation. Gold and silver remain the quintessential portfolio insurance. When every other asset fails, gold and silver lined life boats will save the day. A 25% gold allocation is a sufficient starting point to offset financial carnage. Younger investors are encouraged to increase the allocation percentage via income, while seniors can benefit from PMs dividends to boost investment income. Investors are encouraged to use the sluggish price levels as an opportunity to lower their dollar cost average gold / silver price. Given Dr. Ron Paul’s latest video where he claims that millions of investors will be wiped out in the coming financial collapse, the seven year cycle noted by Martin Armstrong, the Shemitah seven year cycle and the fact that there hasn’t been even a 10% stock market correction since 2011, PMs assets belong in every portfolio. Listeners are encouraged to tinker with a simple portfolio return via ticker symbols: (GLD) (SLV) and (GDX). PMs, decrease volatility, lowering risk markedly while enhancing expected return. Also, PMs facilitate higher asset risk without jeopardizing overall safety, and as every student of finance knows, higher risk can equate with improved reward when managed scientifically. Gold and silver are the bedrock / cornerstone of a portfolio. Would you try to build a house without a foundation first? It would crumble and fall to pieces, undoing all of your efforts time and money spent. Similarly, investors ontology's can change by asking how much they can lose without a solid PMs foundation in my portfolio instead of how they will gain. For instance, the Alpha Stocks Portfolio involves rigorous correlation matrix analysis to maximize overall return and minimize losses. Alpha stocks newsletter subscribers portfolios with expected returns of 30-50% annually and zero expect losses, with the proviso of optimized portfolio result. The portfolio facilitates peace of mind of knowing that funds are maximized and losses minimized. For a limited time, new subscriptions are offered with zero risk, if you are not satisfied after the first 30 days, a refund is issued and account canceled without further obligation. John from San Diego expresses doubts on the economic recovery. Vidya anticipates a stock market buying opportunity after a correction.

Summary:

Louis Navellier insists stock-picking in strong sectors is essential, such as technology, health-care, consumer durables / staples, and home improvement.

He shares several investing opportunities, including: CVS pharmacy (CVS) and Blow's home improvement (LOW).

Domestic small-cap / mid-caps are preferred over large-cap, which have higher dollar exposure.

The political backlash against rate-hikes could be intense, putting a ceiling on the benchmark rate.

Increasing the allocation of gold and precious metals is advisable, particularly for European investors due to dollar strength and relative euro weakness.

As capital inflows intensify, the US economy could grow its way out of the debt issues.

Given that Fed rate cuts are instrumental to protracted stock market rallies (Figure 1.1), cut the imminent rate hikes halt the seven-year, equities bull-market?

Louis Navellier's of Navellier Growth and the free must-bookmark / free link: Portfolio Grader, thinks stock-picking is essential in the current environment - investors must rotate away from nonproductive sectors into more productive avenues, such as technology, health-care, consumer durables / staples, and home improvement. He shares several investing opportunities, including: CVS pharmacy (CVS) and Blow's home improvement (LOW). He prefers the domestic small-cap / mid-caps over large-cap, which have higher dollar exposure. The political backlash against rate-hikes could be intense, putting a ceiling on the benchmark rate. Increasing the allocation of gold and precious metals is advisable, particularly for European investors due to dollar strength and relative euro weakness. Much of the world views the US as an oasis for capital, a safe haven in a uncertain global environment. Therefore, as capital inflows intensify, the US economy could grow its way out of the debt issues. Given that Fed rate cuts are instrumental to protracted stock market rallies (Figure 1.1), cut the imminent rate hikes halt the seven-year, equities bull-market?

Summary:

Peter Schiff, Chairman of SchiffGold.com says the Fed is bluffing - if the officials pull the QE plug, the national economic engine will stall.
While the world is focused on the Grexit, Peter Schiff says the US debt problem is much worse, making default an inevitability and the precious metals safe haven the investment du jour.
The gold repatriation movement is gaining momentum, not only abroad, but now domestically - the Lone Star state has requested the return of its $1 billion gold reserves from the Fed.
Pandora's box is open, which could lead to a cascade of states demanding gold, igniting a potential run on sovereignty around the globe.

Peter Schiff and company have found the perfect panacea, a gold digital currency (gold-backed Bitcoin).

The symbiotic partnership with the Perth Mint in Australia virtually guarantees minimal fees and geographic diversification - a most overlooked yet essential portfolio planning criteria.

For listeners who host online businesses, Peter Schiff suggests his Schiff Bank Referral program as an income-stream generating opportunity.

Prospective home buyers, those who missed the housing crash nadir of 2012 could be treated to discounts as institutions and hedge funds unload inventory in the coming years.

On the cusp of the first Fed rate hike since 2008, Peter Schiff, Chairman of SchiffGold.com says the Fed is bluffing - if officials pull the QE plug, the national economic engine will stall. While the world is focused on the Grexit, the US debt problem is much worse - estimates of $210 trillion in unfunded liabilities (Professor Laurence Kotlikoff) making default an inevitability and the precious metals safe haven the investment du jour. The gold repatriation movement is gaining momentum, not only abroad, but now domestically - the Lone Star state has requested the return of its $1 billion gold reserves from the Fed. But even if the gold is returned, it may be the only lucky state. Experts believe the national reserves have been leased / rehypothecated similar to a Ponzi scheme. Nevertheless, Pandora's box is open, which could lead to a cascade of states demanding gold, igniting a potential run on sovereignty around the globe. The bottom line is that people have lost faith in their officials. Peter Schiff and company have found the perfect panacea, a gold digital currency (gold-backed Bitcoin). The symbiotic partnership with the Perth Mint in Australia virtually guarantees minimal fees and geographic diversification - a most overlooked yet essential portfolio planning criteria. Via a simple debit card swipe, anyone outside the US can make purchases that are backed by sound money. He has plans for an alternative for Americans, within one year. For listeners who host online businesses, Peter Schiff suggests his Schiff Bank Referral program as an income-stream generating opportunity. Prospective home buyers, those who missed the housing crash nadir of 2012 predicted in Wealth Building Strategies (2010), could be treated to discounts as institutions and hedge funds unload inventory in the coming years.

Dr. Laurence Kotlikoff, a Boston University economics professor and author of the new bestseller The Clash of Generations, and the Inform Act (please click to sign, supported by 17 Nobel Laureates) recently gave a speech before the US Senate, noting that the government is broke; the actual national debt is 12 times the annual GDP, $210 trillion when unfunded liabilities are included. His Inform Act has the support of over 17 Noble Prize winning economists, 12,000 economists and even the Former Secretary of the US Treasury signed it. According to his findings, the US government is in far worse fiscal shape than Detroit when officials declared bankruptcy. Since 2007, the Fed balance sheet has increased by over 4 fold, comparable to other nations before declaring bankruptcy. Given the domestic debt situation, Dr. Kotlikoff expects the perfect economic melange for hyperinflation to send prices soaring, perhaps not this month, this year or even next year, but inevitably. No government agency has agreed to follow his economic panacea, fiscal gap accounting, which is required to resolve the issue via transparency.

The US pays twice per capita for healthcare than in competitor nations.

Institutions purchased foreclosed properties at bargain basement prices, thousands at a time, resulting excessive real estate prices in desirable areas.

The global central bank QE plan involving low rates is backfiring as bond investors bid up yields due to default risk issues.

The guest / host discuss the Fed monetary base, which has moved in a parabolic fashion since the stock market bottom in 2009.

Charles notes that the actual economy has experienced little if any growth.

Most markets are approaching bubble-like condition.

Charles Hughes Smith from Of Two Minds makes his debut - he's concerned about national health car costs, noting that the US pays twice per capita than in competitor nations. Institutions purchased foreclosed properties at bargain basement prices, thousands at a time, which is causing excessive real estate prices in desirable areas and pricing out young buyers. The global central bank QE plan involving low rates is backfiring as bond investors bid up yields due to default risk issues. The guest / host discuss the Fed monetary base, which has moved in a parabolic fashion since the stock market bottom in 2009, a likely underpinning of the economic recovery. Charles notes that Fed profligacy is encouraging the extraction of profits through monetary means, but the actual economy has experienced little if any growth. Investors have been put in an impossible position - in already bubble-like markets.

Summary:

According to Peter Grandich of Peter Grandich and Company gold is currently trading several times lower than its intrinsic value.
Aficionado will delight at his lofty price target.
Although market timing can be a profitable and rewarding venture, nevertheless after 30 years of impressive forecasts he's had an epiphany: it only requires one poorly executed trade to ruin decades of work.
He's converted to portfolio indexing and diversification with his family's nest egg.
A solid core portfolio of index ETFs or mutual funds can facilitate any investor to outperform the top 80% of professional money managers and peace of mind.
He's convinced that the worst is over for PMs investors - the 2 year consolidation is actually a spring board to much higher prices.
The discussion shifts to the Grexit drama - unfortunately, debt negotiations broke down over the weekend and default appears imminent.
Over $1 billion fled national bank accounts in merely a 24 hour period. Peter
Grandich expects the Euro currency to be replaced as the current system is beyond repair.

According to Peter Grandich of Peter Grandich and Company gold is currently trading several times lower than its intrinsic value - aficionado will delight at his lofty price target. Our guest thinks market timing can be a profitable and rewarding venture, nevertheless after 30 years of impressive forecasts he's had an epiphany; it only requires one poorly executed trade to ruin decades of work. He's converted to portfolio indexing and diversification with his family's nest egg - the peace of mind is well worth the opportunity cost. How many market timers forecasted the 2009-2015 equities bull market or worse, shorted the market? Instead, a solid core portfolio of index ETFs or mutual funds can facilitate any investor to outperform the top 80% of professional money managers and peace of mind. Peter Grandich notes the market rigging in the interest rate, equities and relate markets, but when analysts discuss gold market manipulation, the conspiracy theory moniker is a common retort. He's convinced that the worst is over for PMs investors - the 2 year consolidation is actually a spring board to much higher prices. The discussion shifts to the Grexit drama - unfortunately, debt negotiations broke down over the weekend and default appears imminent. Over $1 billion fled national bank accounts in merely a 24 hour period. Peter Grandich expects the Euro currency to be replaced as the current system is beyond repair.

Summary:

Ralph Acampora of Altaira Wealth Management makes his show début - the respected Wall Street veteran / visionary notes that the US equities have not registered even a 10% correction in the primary bull market since 2011.

Not until the crowd returns to equities will the bull market register a peak.

Our guest expects interest rates to climb over the next decade, lowering demand for bonds, adding upward momentum to the stock bull market.

Still, his Dow Theory work is flashing a warning signal as the Dow transportation index failed to follow the Dow Jones Industrials to new highs.

A similar non-confirmation occurred prior to the year 2000 stock market meltdown.

Should a correction occur, our guest suggests high yielding utility stock, tax-free municipal bond and global equity alternatives.

Once the bull market resumes, sector rotation is advisable into financials, consumer discretionary, healthcare and technology.

Our guest advises his high net worth clients to maintain gold exposure.

Ralph Acampora of Altaira Wealth Management makes his show début - the respected Wall Street veteran / visionary views the US equities market as a leading economic indicator, noting that there hasn't been a 10% correction in the primary bull market since 2011. Main street is still nervous following the 2008 crisis on Wall Street - not until the crowd returns to equities will the ultimate bull market peak come to pass. Our guest expects interest rates to climb over the next decade, lowering demand for bonds, slowly directing funds to US stocks and pushing the equities indexes higher. Nevertheless, his Dow Theory work is flashing a warning signal, a long-term trend indicator as the Dow transportation index failed to follow the Dow Jones Industrials to new highs. Interestingly, a similar non-confirmation occurred just prior to the year 2000 stock market meltdown. Should a correction occur, our guest suggests high yielding utility stock, tax-free municipal bond and global equity alternatives. Once the bull market resumes, sector rotating into into financials, consumer discretionary, healthcare and technology is advisable. Regarding the precious metals sector, our guest advises his high net worth clients to maintain exposure for insurance purposes.

America's Rich Dad returns to the show - he's penned the NEW Bestseller, Second Chance: for Your Money, Your Life and Our World (2015) a book for every investor regardless of acumen level with pictures and graphs to insure that readers gain much more than the price of the book. The Rich Dad book series author is ignoring the skeptics, buying the portfolio insurance with a lifetime term, adding 100 US Gold Eagles to his seizable stockpile. His preference for hard assets over equities stems from the global battle between inflation and deflation, strengthening his resolve to own the precious metals. Given that financial derivatives exposure has increased from $700 trillion circa 2007 to $1.2 quadrillion in 2015 (non-notional value / interest rate sensitive), he expects a deflationary crisis to convince the global central banking cartel to expand the monetary supply intensely, resulting in an astronomic climb in the gold price. He prefers rental properties over most real estate classes. Robert Kiyosaki suggests that entrepreneurs follow in his and Elon Musk's footsteps, partnering with the government to earn oversized profits by providing affordable rental housing and or solar alternatives.

Summary:

Dr. Malkiel, the author of A Random Walk Down Wall Street says no gurus, analysts or forecasters, can help investors earn profits on a consistent basis.
In fact, by attempting to outsmart the markets 99.99% of investors underperform index funds.
By accepting that no one can time the market with a high degree of certainty, investors enrich their wealth via passive investing.
Portfolio diversification and dollar cost averaging (buying at a steady pace, while ignoring the price) are the hallmarks of investing success.
Dr. Malkiel thinks virtually every asset class is overvalued, not just stocks, as the Fed holds lending rates artificially low to bolster economic conditions.
The professor suggests lifecycle funds or target funds that automatically adjust portfolio allocation based on individual age and expected life span.

Dr. Malkiel, the author of A Random Walk Down Wall Street with 11 editions and written four decades ago, takes a bold stance when it comes to market forecasting / prediction. He says its all bunk - gurus, analysts forecasters, none of the above can help investors earn profits on a consistent basis. In fact, by attempting to outsmart the markets 99.99% of investors underperform index funds. For instance, investor capital piled into the stock market at the dot com peak in 2000 and even more money fled the market at the beginning of the bull market near 2009 - both periods marked the worst possible time to enter / exit the markets. Nevertheless, by accepting that no one can time the market with a high degree of certainty, investors enrich their wealth via passive investing. Portfolio diversification and dollar cost averaging (buying at a steady pace, while ignoring the price). Interestingly, Dr. Malkiel thinks virtually every asset class is overvalued, not just stocks, as the Fed holds lending rates artificially low to bolster economic conditions. The loose monetary policy is flooding the economy with easy money, encouraging speculation. The professor suggests lifecycle funds or target funds that automatically adjust portfolio allocation based on individual age and expected life span.

Summary:

Michael Belkin of The Belkin Report, and the new Belkin Gold Stock Forecast for individual investors, makes his show début.
He is advising institutional clients / hedge funds to rotate out of US equities and into his hand picked gold stocks.
The gold market has bottomed and the major US equities indexes are forming a key top.
Many of his gold / silver stock candidates have soared 100-300% in 2015, not just penny stocks, but bellwether companies as well.
The gold stock guru generously shares several ticker symbols of his favorite gold / silver stocks.
His models indicate a forceful gold stock rally is imminent, after which investors will pile into the market via technical buy signals.
Takeaway point: the bear market in gold / silver equities is over.

Michael Belkin of The Belkin Report, and the new Belkin Gold Stock Forecast an economical service for individual investors has established a respected 23 year record of forecasting success. Our guest outlines his models that show the gold market has bottomed and the major US equities index bubble is forming a key top. The former Solomon Brothers analyst / quant thinks the Fed is following the same path that lead to the market peak of 2007 and the subsequent 2 year crash, but this time conditions are far more perilous for investors due to excessive "QE Kool-Aid." He is advising his institutional clients / hedge funds to rotate out of US equities and into hand picked gold stocks. Why is he so bullish on gold stocks when most eyes are on tech stocks? Although the gold stock indexes are consolidating, individual gold equities are diverging sharply, staging impressive rallies. Despite the sluggish sector performance, many of the gold / silver stock candidates are higher by 100-300% in 2015, not just penny stocks, but bellwether companies, too. The gold stock guru generously shares several of his favorite gold / silver stock ticker symbols. His models indicate a forceful gold stock rally is imminent, after which investors will pile into the market as technical indicators trigger buy signals followed by a positive sea change in institutional sentiment. Takeaway point: the bear market in gold / silver equities is over.

Summary:

Rob Kirby of Kirby Analytics says geopolitical tensions are the result of the unsound fiat money system and the resulting economic distress.

By kicking the economic can down the interstate highway, our officials are positioning for global warfare, which could erupt as soon as 2015.

Our guest is convinced that the People's Bank of China has accumulated at least 2 thousand tons of gold bullion per year.

Expect a ban on cash, relegating paper bills / coins to the garbage bin. The shift could facilitate a total surveillance state, where all transactions, no matter how small, leave a digital finger print. The host recommends Miles Franklin offshore accounts for precious metals storage (no affiliation).

When money is debased, creativity and the entrepreneurial / individualistic spirit are crushed.

Given the less than savory economic prospects facing most investors, the guest insists that portfolio diversification is a necessity, in particular, gold and silver assets.

Rob Kirby paraphrases friend of the show, John Embry of Sprott Asset Management, "With precious metals, you can always afford to be two years early, but you can never afford to be ten minutes late."

The urgency is underscored by his finding that hyperinflationary events tend to occur in lightening like fashion, without warning.

Rob Kirby of Kirby Analytics says geopolitical tensions are the result of the unsound fiat money system and the resulting economic distress. Consequentially, by kicking the economic can down the interstate highway, our officials are positioning for global warfare, which could erupt as soon as 2015. Our guest is convinced that the People's Bank of China has accumulated at least 2 thousand tons of gold bullion per year, for at least a decade, a stockpile perhaps rivaling all other nations combined, including the United States. His sources indicate that large bullion purchases in Asia sometimes require a price in excess of $500 over spot, due to supply constraints. As officials lose control of the global monetary system around the world, including North America, expect a ban on cash, relegating paper bills / coins to the garbage bin. The shift could facilitate a total surveillance state where all transactions, no matter how small, leave a digital finger print. Nevertheless, given the prevalence of government corruption, the loss of liberty could be intense, including a ban on the purchase of precious metals. As the PTB encourage intense social flare-ups, a false flag event could ignite the next Hegalian crisis, which at its root is due to currency debasement and financial machinations. When money is debased creativity and the entrepreneurial / individualistic spirit are crushed - the very backbone of capitalistic success is eviscerated as the lower 99% are forced to become government drones. Given the less than sanguine economic prospects facing most investors, the guest insists that portfolio diversification is a necessity, in particular, gold and silver assets. Kirby paraphrases friend of the show, John Embry of Sprott Asset Management, "With precious metals, you can always afford to be two years early, but you can never afford to be ten minutes late." The urgency is underscored by his finding that hyperinflationary events tend to occur in lightening fashion, appearing from no where amid seemingly trivial events.

Summary:

Bill Murphy from GATA.org and the host discuss a report from Bloomberg News analysts who claim, if the People's Bank of China (PBoC) supports the Yuan with gold, approximately 1,000 tons, the move would send the price of gold soaring to $64,000 per ounce, 50 times the current price.
In addition, reports from Venezuela indicate 64% inflation, approaching 5% per month as the Bolivar currency collapses.
Venezuelan money growth is approaching exponential levels, eerily similar to the Fed's balance sheet.

In addition, reports from Venezuela indicate 64% inflation, approaching 5% per month as the Bolivar currency collapses - many economists consider 10% per month runaway inflation. Figure 1.1. shows how Venezuelan money growth is approaching exponential levels, eerily similar to the Fed's balance sheet, also shown in a figure further down this web page.

Summary:

Fabian Calvo from the NoteHouse.us, is watching US equities market margin levels with a weary eye, each time the crash harbinger overextended in the past a recession followed.

Approximately 1 out of 3 American's cannot find gainful employment or have given up the search for meaningful employment, 93 million souls - impacting at least one person in every household.

Never before in history has this number been so high.

Fabian's work shows that half of all jobs will be be replaced by automation in the next decade, resulting in a Terminator Movie like scenario. Most people will be caught off guard with the boomerang like shift.

The solution: job seekers must retool their skill set in advance of the coming workplace sea change.

The old job paradigm: go to college and accumulate debt has failed; the new paradigm involves online entrepreneurship and vocational training.

By building a solid skill set, entrepreneurial minded people can better prepare for the increasingly challenging / dynamic workplace.

 

Fabian Calvo from the NoteHouse.us, a $100 million portfolio of distressed properties is watching US equities market margin levels with a weary eye, each time the crash harbinger overextended in the past a recession followed. The leading indicator remains at record levels. Nevertheless one can clearly see how the inevitable divergence in price lead to market crises (see Figure 1.1.).

Summary:

Arch Crawford, head of Crawford Perspectives, elucidates listeners with comments on the impending FOMC rate hike, slated for September / December 2015.
He's doubtful that domestic economic conditions are robust enough to sustain a rate hike.
Arch is concerned by the US equities market, which is making 118 year highs on extremely low volume, which he thinks is a sign of manipulation.
The discussion includes Martin Armstrong's market timing model, which seems to coincide with the Hebrew Shemita (Shmita) a seven year cycle of amnesty.
The cycle is nearing another seven year zenith, coinciding with the expected Fed rate hike this Fall.
Could an FOMC rate increase trigger a global economic landslide? Many recent guests certainly think so.
The discussion continues with a review of the trading strategy of the legendary author / former Goldman Sach's trader and now professor, Dr. Nassim Taleb of Fooled by Randomness and Black Swan fame.
Arch discusses his investing style, which bares a striking resemblance to that of Nassim Taleb's.
In 2008, Arch invested $2,500 in puts and earned over $500,000, a two hundred fold return. He invests a small amount in a contrary fashion each month, to reap similar rewards when the crowd is wrong.
Arch worries that a Cyprus-like moment could become a reality on a much larger scale - Europeans, Asians and Americans could suddenly find their account balances adjusted to reflect a new currency, with perhaps a fifty percent reduction in purchasing power.

From his office in the Sonoran-Arizona desert, Arch Crawford, head of Crawford Perspectives, elucidates listeners with comments on the impending FOMC rate hike, slated for September / December 2015. He's doubtful that domestic economic conditions are robust enough to sustain a rate hike. Arch is concerned by the US equities market, which is making 118 year highs on extremely low volume, which he thinks is a sign of manipulation. The discussion includes Martin Armstrong's market timing model, which seems to coincide with the Hebrew Shemita (Shmita) a seven year cycle of amnesty where all debts are forgiven and an agricultural year of rest where no planting, harvesting, watering, fertilizing or weeding is to take place. Arch notes similarities with an Arab tradition and a lunar cycle while directing listener's to Rabbi Jonathan Cahn's YouTube Shemitah discussion (see Figure 1.1):

The cycle is nearing another seven year zenith, coinciding with the expected Fed rate hike this Fall. Could an FOMC rate increase trigger a global economic landslide? Many recent guests certainly think so. The discussion continues with a review of the trading strategy of the legendary author / former Goldman Sach's trader and now professor, Dr. Nassim Taleb of Fooled by Randomness and Black Swan fame. The host agrees with Dr. Taleb that true market price is rarely normally distributed, making forecasts of expected portfolio returns challenging at best and devastating at times. Instead, by adhering to a Pareto or Leptokurtic market distribution, investors can shield the bulk of their wealth while profiting handsomely due to rare or Black Swan events. Arch discusses his investing style, which bares a striking resemblance to that of Nassim Taleb's. In 2008, Arch invested $2,500 in puts and earned over $500,000, a two hundred fold return.

Summary:

Bob Hoye, senior Investment strategist at Institutional Advisors, watches the market all day, every day, tick by tick.
Bob warns that correlation in the markets does not always imply causation.
Similarly, false conclusions such as credit expansion equates with economic growth - are at the foundation of faulty central bank policies.
From 1985-1995, a ten year period was required to double the Fed's balance sheet.
Next, from 1995-2009, approximately 14 years were required. But by 2009, the Fed doubled their balance sheet over night and again in 2012-2013 and still again in 2014.
What used to require 10-14 years is now happening every other year. Given the unprecedented bailout figure and subsequent credit injections.

The host proposes the bold idea: did the financial system fail in 2009 only to be held together by substantial CB duct tape?

In the 1920's the Fed began Open Market Operations for the first time in national history, holding rates artificially low in turn encouraging speculation, culminating with the 1929 stock market crash and Great Depression - a virtual playbook for the current economy.

Bob says the only thing holding back hyperinflation is the bond / stock market rally, where inflation is destined to eventually find its way to a gold / silver market near you.

Bob Hoye, senior Investment strategist at Institutional Advisors, watches the market all day, every day, tick by tick. The guest and host discuss an important tool for every investor - the keys to scientific / economic / financial understanding via Aristotelian syllogism, the process of deduction or drawing a conclusion based on two premises. For example:

First premise: the money supply is sharply higher,
Second premise: increased money supply encourages speculation,
Deduction: expect the stock market to rise.

Nonetheless, Bob warns that correlation in the markets does not always imply causation. Similarly, false conclusions such as credit expansion equates with economic growth - are at the foundation of faulty central bank policies. From 1985-1995, a ten year period was required to double the Fed's balance sheet. Next, from 1995-2009, approximately 14 years were required. But by 2009, the Fed doubled their balance sheet over night and again in 2012-2013 and still again in 2014. Putting a fine point on it, what used to require 10-14 years is now happening every other year. Given the unprecedented bailout figure and subsequent credit injections, the host proposes the bold idea: did the financial system fail in 2009 only to be held together by substantial CB duct tape? Sound implausible? In the 1920's the Fed began Open Market Operations for the first time in national history, holding rates artificially low in turn encouraging speculation, culminating with the 1929 stock market crash and Great Depression - a virtual playbook for the current economy.

Summary:

Andrew Maguire, of Andrew Maguire Gold Trading makes his début appearance.

The 40 year gold market veteran and whistleblower, strengthens Ted Butler's silver market manipulation case.

Each ounce of exchange metal is leveraged 100 to 1.

Yet leverage of only 10 to 1 was required to ignite the Great Crash of 1929.

Our guest notes that the trading desks of the 6 key bullion banks and the BIS are in collusion, keenly aware of major turning points and culpable for sharing confidential information with associates.

The huge paper based, naked short position held by the bullion banks exposes them to sizable default risk.

Expect PMs market manipulation schemes to end in 2015, resulting in markedly improved transparency.

Andrew Maguire, of Andrew Maguire Gold Trading makes his début appearance on Goldseek.com Radio - the 40 year gold market veteran and whistleblower, strengthens Ted Butler's silver market manipulation case by exposing the nefarious machinations of the institutions purportedly responsible for market rigging and ultimately the closure of productive gold / silver mining operations - eliminating much needed jobs in the struggling sector. He worked with CFTC market regulators for a year, pinpointing the questionable market operations. His conversations with exchange officials indicates that each ounce of metal has less than 1/100th in metal backing, leveraged 100 to 1. Putting the threat to the entire global economic system into perspective, 10 to 1 leverage was arguably a primary cause of the Great Crash of 1929 on Wall Street. Magnify the leverage by a factor of 10 and a less than sanguine forecast emerges. Our guest notes that the trading desks of the 6 key bullion banks and the BIS are in collusion, keenly aware of major turning points and culpable for sharing confidential information with associates. The huge paper based, naked short position held by the bullion banks has exposed them to sizable default risk. The typical COMEX delivery involves moving bullion via a forklift from one side of the room to the other, a farcical / meaningless exercise. Whereas the competing Shanghai gold exchange regularly ships tons of bullion, worldwide. He expects PMs market manipulation schemes to end in 2015, resulting markedly improved transparency.

 

Listener's Q&A (phone / email) - Chris Waltzek - May 12, 2015.

To download this show in Mp3 format, please click here.

Summary:

The 1st caller is concerned by the inflation / deflation debate.

Our host challenges the deflationist rhetoric, noting that the dollar rally is insufficient evidence of deflation.

Dollar strength represents a flight away from the euro currency alternative in anticipation of an imminent Greek default - the US dollar is simply the least sick currency in the ward.

Deflationists have confused deflation (a decrease in the money supply) with disinflation (a decrease in the rate of inflation).

As illustrated by Figure 1.1., in 2008 liquidity poured into the system, funds were reinvested by money center banks and key corporations in their own shares (buybacks / Treasury stock), sending the equities indexes higher while reducing the number of shares outstanding, a two-staged rocket propelling stocks into the exosphere.

Takeaway point: the so called economic miracle or recovery required a five fold increase in the Fed's balance sheet from 2009

Given the near certainty of a rate hike by September / December of this year, the market bubble could crater despite trillions of dollars in support - directing the Mt. St. Helens of equity / paper capital to undervalued safe havens, such as gold and silver.

After a year long consolidation, money printing is near the zenith, poised for a new break out - consolidation theory suggests at least a 50% increase in Fed debt to $6.5 trillion over the next two years.

The Fed liquidity represents a giant options put of financial protection.

Prediction: until the Fed money printing bonanza halts, expect the party on Wall Street to persist.

The host answers questions from caller John and email messages from several friends of the show, including Vidya and Patrick.

The 1st caller is concerned by the inflation / deflation debate. Our host challenges the deflationist rhetoric, noting that the dollar rally is insufficient evidence of deflation. On the contrary, dollar strength represents a flight away from the euro-currency alternative in anticipation of an imminent Greek default - the US dollar is simply the least sick currency in the ward. Deflationists have confused deflation (a decrease in the money supply) with disinflation (a decrease in the rate of inflation). The subtle nuance between deflation and disinflation can be visualized by imagining a car traveling along a flat desert road. As a mountain pass approaches, if the driver keeps the peddle in the same position as the car ascends the mountain, the pace of the vehicle will slow and eventually come to a halt. This represents disinflation. Just as the car slows but keeps moving forward inflation remains, but at a slower growth rate. Conversely, if deflation were truly present, the car would stop on the mountain road and then reverse back down the hill. This is not yet evident in the money supply (inflation proxy) compiled by the St. Louis Fed and Shadowstats.com (see Figure 1.1.).

Figure 1.1. US Monetary Base (adjusted - St. Louis Fed)

Note: The graph is courtesy of the St. Louis Fed web page.

As illustrated in Figure 1.1., the money supply growth rate was stable until the last recession. But around 2008 the figure went wild, coinciding with the domestic stock market bull-run of 2009-2015. As liquidity poured into the system, funds were reinvested by money center banks and key corporations in their own shares (buybacks / Treasury stock), sending the equities indexes higher while reducing the number of shares outstanding, which amounts to a two-staged rocket: the buybacks increased demand and reduced supply, sending stocks barreling into the exosphere. KEY POINT: the so called economic miracle or recovery required a five fold increase in the Fed's balance sheet since 2009. The reason that the cost of goods and services, housing, oil etc. have not skyrocketed is that the $4+ trillion dollars are held primarily in US paper assets, such as stocks / bonds, holding the inflation genie is check. Nevertheless, with a rate hike a near certainty by September / December 2015, the market bubble could crater, even with the trillions of dollars worth of support. Once the edifice starts to crumble, the Mt. St. Helens of equity / paper capital will search for undervalued safe havens, like gold and silver. After a year long consolidation, the money printing pattern is at the top of the range and poised for a new break out - consolidation theory suggests an increase of at least $6.5 trillion in total over the next two years. So why is housing stabilizing; why are share prices staging a dot.com like revival; and why are big institutions shunning safe haven assets? Who needs a safe haven when every investor has a safety net above the high wire, i.e., The Fed. The Fed has offered the market a giant options-put of protection. Prediction: until the Fed money printing bonanza halts, expect the party on Wall Street to continue, but at a frightening cost. The aftermath could mark the end of the global financial system. The further Fed officials extend the day of reckoning, the greater the suffering of the middle and working classes. The host answers questions from caller John and email messages from several folks, including Vidya and Patrick.

Summary:

According to Peter Eliades of Stockmarket Cycles, a particular angle of ascent or slope has lead to a market zenith for nearly 14 consecutive years.
He presents the precise slope angle and a simple means to calculate the trendline (slope = 68.3 / 238 days = 0.28584) for virtually any forecasting chart.
Since 2002, the market has failed to close over 1.1% beyond the trendline and then subsequently declined sharply.
On Monday, May 4th, the model registered a key stock market top, with the proviso that no construct is perfect.
A market peak of great importance seems imminent.

His work suggests that the potential return in US equities is significantly lower than the potential risk - echoing the sentiments of previous guests, such as Dr. Burton Malkiel.

Our guest suggests Hussman Funds, a free website with market commentary.

Peter Eliades of Stockmarket Cycles, presents an intriguing scientific discovery - his work has uncovered a formula that appears to govern financial market mechanics, in particular, the US equities market. According to the findings, a particular angle of ascent or slope has lead to a market zenith for nearly 14 consecutive years. He presents the precise slope angle and a simple means to calculate the trendline (slope = 68.3 / 238 days = 0.28584) for virtually any forecasting chart. Since 2002, the market has failed to close over 1.1% beyond the trendline and then subsequently declined sharply. On Monday, May 4th, the model registered a key stock market top, with the proviso that no construct is perfect. Our guest adds his analysis, noting that a market peak of great importance seems imminent. The driving force behind the phenomenon appears to be the ascent rate, given the current economic dynamics - not to be confused with the rate of change ROC stemming from the calculus based derivative (d/dx) of market prices. Instead, one might imagine a guiding number, such as Phi (2.816), a transcendental figure often used to calculate Fibonacci support / resistance / forecast levels in market prices. Even if the market does not reach a zenith, it is safe to infer from the construct that market price should not extend more than 1.1% above the high price posted on May 4th. Put simply, his work suggests that the potential return is significantly lower than the potential risk, in US equities - echoing the sentiments of previous guests, such as Dr. Burton Malkiel.

Summary:

The Silver Investor David Morgan views dollar strength as a direct result of capital flight from the EU.
Still, the US dollar is a flawed currency, losing over 95% of its value due to Fed machinations.
The 30 year love affair with US bonds is coming to an end - the coming debt market implosion will direct trillions of dollars into a competing safe haven, gold and silver, tiny markets relative to bonds.
David Morgan says every portfolio requires at least 10% PMs exposure.

Few investors have even this recommended amount. The bottom may be in place.

A final capitulation may not come to pass in the PMs before the onset of the nascent bull market, despite the monthly downtrend.

The Silver Investor David Morgan views dollar strength as a direct result of capital flight from the EU - negative interest rates make the Greenback seem financially solid by comparison. Still, the US dollar is a flawed currency, losing over 95% of its value due to Fed machinations. The 30 year love affair with US bonds is coming to an end - the coming debt market implosion will direct trillions of dollars into a competing safe haven, gold and silver, tiny markets relative to bonds. In the last credit crisis of 2007, the only asset class to fair well was gold, with few exceptions, one more reason why the PMs are solidly valued at current levels. David Morgan says every portfolio requires at least 10% PMs exposure - few investors have even this recommended amount. The bottom may be in place - a final capitulation is not likely in the PMs before the onset of the nascent bull market, despite the monthly downtrend.

Summary:

Hailing from scenic Zurich Switzerland, Jim Rogers outlines his investing plan for 2015.
WTIC appears to be oversold - expect an important bottom this year.
The investing legend plans to increase his stockpile of gold at under $1,000 an ounce.
He favors equities shares from China (largest holding).
Fed officials may feel compelled to make an incremental rate hike or two, to save face given the level of rate hike rhetoric.
Nonetheless, such efforts will be in vain, the inevitable day of economic reckoning is imminent.

Hailing from scenic Zurich Switzerland, Jim Rogers outlines his investing plan for 2015. WTIC appears to be oversold - expect an important bottom this year. The investing legend is holding on to his PMs and looking for a capitulation to add to his stockpile of gold and silver. He expects a 50% decline from the bull market zenith, presenting solid gold buying opportunities under $1,000 an ounce. He favors equities shares from China (largest holding) - viewed as a relative value compared with US equities. Fed officials may feel compelled to make an incremental rate hike or two, to save face given the level of rate hike rhetoric. Nonetheless, such efforts will be in vain, the inevitable day of economic reckoning is imminent.

Summary:

Peter Schiff, Chairman of SchiffGold.com and the host discuss the latest economic numbers.
Contrary to the official figures the Great Recession never ended - by deflating true inflation figures, economic output only seems strong.
Peter Schiff agrees with John Williams from Shadowstats.com, the national GDP has been negative for almost 15 years when accurately tabulated.
Given the unexpectedly low GDP figure reported on Wednesday, the recession is bordering on a depression.
This is good news for investors as Fed officials are more likely to implement QE4 by the end of 2015, early 2016.
Our guest says the gold market is building a base -the dollar will plunge in spectacular fashion - the next QE installment will send the PMs much higher.

Dollar cost averaging into the metals is the most prudent method, given market uncertainty.

With homeownership rates near 30 year lows and a lack of quality employment, real estate is overpriced, better opportunities will unfold as the recession further develops. Peter Schiff, Chairman of SchiffGold.com and the host discuss the latest economic numbers. Contrary to the official figures the Great Recession never ended - by deflating true inflation figures, economic output only seems strong. Peter Schiff agrees with John Williams from Shadowstats.com, the national GDP has been negative for almost 15 years when accurately tabulated (see chart a few pages below this text). Given the unexpectedly low GDP figure reported on Wednesday, a number that would have been negative without hedonic adjustment, the recession is bordering on a depression.

Our guest says the gold market is building a base and once the threat of a rate hike passes, the dollar will plunge in spectacular fashion - the next QE installment will send the PMs much higher. Peter Schiff agrees with the host that a final selling capitulation could present the best buying opportunity in years for PMs investors. Nevertheless, dollar cost averaging into the metals is the most prudent method, given market uncertainty.

Summary:

G. Edward Griffin serves cuisine for cogitation with a review his magnum opus, The Creature from Jekyll Island, a classic that continues to resonate with readers 22 years later.
He spent 7 years on the project and fortunately decided against discarding the manuscript, now a financial classic approaching it's 40th publishing.
G. Edward Griffin and Dr. Ron Paul have arguably contributed much to the movement for central banking (CB) transparency.
Our guest notes that negative / zero interest rates, rehypothecation, debt crises, etc. should come as little surprise, the global economic system has been gamed by the same cartel that formed the CB system.

G. Edward Griffin serves up cuisine for cogitation with a review his magnum opus, The Creature from Jekyll Island, a classic that continues to resonate with readers 22 years later. He spent 7 years on the project and fortunately decided against discarding the manuscript, now a financial classic approaching it's 40th publishing. Arguably, champions of unadulterated, free market capitalism, G. Edward Griffin and Dr. Ron Paul have contributed much to the movement for transparency in central banking (CB). Nevertheless, the current pseudo-capitalist framework is based on a fata morgana, negative / zero interest rates, rehypothecation, debt crises, etc. The global economic system has been gamed by the same cartel who formed the CB system. Given that most temporal power (worldly) stems from wealth, including military / political / corporate, the banking cartel wields enormous influence. The bulk of Americans are blissfully unaware that the system has been hijacked by a cabal with a nefarious agenda. Ultimately, the system will implode, which according to our guest explains the proliferation of FEMA camps designed to prepare the nation for martial law and to reeducate dissidents, formerly known as patriots, in 1776.
