Chris welcomes back, John Embry, Senior Strategist at Sprott Asset Management. The cryptomarket price explosion represents prima facie evidence of what the gold crowd has known for decades - the gold price suppression fomented by the fiat monetary system is doomed. Case in point, the upward eruption in BTC / ETH / LTC may represent the petri dish model for the precious metals market. One of the more compelling arguments in favor of silver - the current price is merely a few dollars above the mining expense per ounce. When combined with the facts that its industrial applications are inelastic and abysmal sentiment from a contrarian perspective the metal could present a remarkable value opportunity. Moreover, according to the World Gold Council, although silver is about 10 times more abundant in the earth's crust, the stockpile of available investment grade silver is actually half that of gold, making silver a short-squeeze candidate of epic proportions as the supply of physical bullion is incapable of satisfying potential short-covering demand.

For 20 years, Bill Murphy and Chris Powell of GATA.org have lead the crusade for transparency with the gold cartel. Bill Murphy returns with bullish commentary on the precious metals sector and Bitcoin. A few months earlier, Bitcoin enthusiasts were stunned / elated to find the digital currency was at parity, with gold $1,250. Today, Bitcoin is over 5 times the price of gold due in part to the CME's plans to list Bitcoin futures contracts by year end! BTC is poised to compete head to head as a global reserve currency, potentially usurping at least 100 years of draconian financial regulations and legislative quagmires. In a potentially ironic twist, the much maligned Bitcoin may be paving the highways and building the bridges to parabolic gains, in gold and silver investments.

A coder on a Bitcoin.com panel posted on YouTube, was running an AI that paints actual pictures and lists them for sale on eBay without human interaction. Following the first big sale, the coder typed to the AI, “You’ve made us some Bitcoin, nice job...” to which the AI retorted, “What do you mean, us?”

The upcoming gold backed, Yuan-based oil contract, from China is threatening the petrol-dollar arrangement, at least in Asia. In addition, it could benefit gold aficionados, as the PBoC must procure considerably larger stockpiles to secure the contract. Our guest posits that the PMs will break free from the cartel, once the physical bullion market reestablishes itself as the de facto, price establishing mechanism.

Top Wall Street Chartered Technical Analyst (CTA), Ralph Acampora of Altaira Wealth Management, revered as "The Godfather of Technical Analysis," returns. with his outlook on US equities and the PMs. Listeners / readers are urged to sign up for to his free Twitter account with and active subscriber base of 26,000+. The Dow Jones Industrials continues to barrel towards 24,000 as predicted by his technical analysis. Although still bullish on America and US equities, several sectors have advanced to parabolic like levels; chasing shares higher may be inadvisable. Our guest makes positive comments on the utilities sector, which continues to post record highs while offering a solid dividend yield. Ralph Acampora outlines his favorite investing tools in the arsenal, including MACD, RSI and most importantly, trends. Identifying the price bias or trend oftentimes proves more challenging than expected, as it's easy to recognize in the rear view mirror, but fraught with hurdles in real-time. Our guest's preferred trend identification method is the moving average crossover / MACD crossover, which facilitated the recognition of the most celebrated trend in American financial history (figure 1.1.).

• The square of the number of users of ANY network times the average transaction rate over the total users.
