Chris Vermeulen - Stocks Topping, Dollar Up, Gold Getting Closer #4352
May 22, 2019 16:41 - 21 minutes - 30.1 MBChris Vermeulen joined us today. He believes that the stock market is topping out, if it hasn't already. This will lead to increased volatility and a move back to safe haven assets, i.e. gold. He believes that oil will break down briefly into the 50's and then come roaring back shortly thereafter. The bigger and faster the decline, the fast the bounce back. Interest rates are headed lower.
Danielle K. Roberts - Clever Medicare Solutions #4351
May 21, 2019 20:12 - 19 minutes - 27.1 MBWe're all getting older and we need to plan for the day when Medicare kicks in, at 65 years old. Danielle has an effective, tax-advantaged strategy for financing your eventual retirement and Medicare benefits. It all starts with an HSA (Health Savings Account) and a high-deductible medical insurance policy. If you're under 55 you can put away $3500 per annum and deduct it from your taxable income. Over 55 and the number goes up to $4500. Best of all there are no minimum distribution amounts a...
Rob Kirby - Federal Slush Funds Working Their Magic #4350
May 21, 2019 18:29 - 27 minutes - 37.8 MBRob believes that trillions of dollars have been created in a run up to the eventual demise of the dollar. Foreigners are aware of this situation and are starting to cut their losses. The reality is that the American people have been lied to on a vast scale. Rob believes it's the source of most of the world's geo-political problems. If nothing is done the system will collapse and the question becomes when.
Nick Santiago - Fear is Good! #4349
May 21, 2019 16:18 - 28 minutes - 38.9 MBThere's nothing like fear in the market to make gold spike. Right now the market is displaying weakness but there's no panic. However, if Nick is right this is the start of a new bear leg down. When that happens, get ready. We're not in a bear market, but we are in is a bear phase. Volatility indexes could be a good bet. There's more to come.
Ned Schmidt - Making Hogs Great Again #4348
May 20, 2019 20:52 - 33 minutes - 45.3 MBAs Ned told us months ago, there's a serious African Swine Flu outbreak taking place in China. This has led to the slaughtering of nearly a third of their hog herd. They're quickly trying to make up the difference by buying up the difference in the US. The so-called trade war is complicating things. Ag commodities are getting ready to sky-rocket. Mid-west flooding has led to drastically decreased planting of soy beans and corn. Ned says that in 10 years, a t-bone steak could be a thing of the...
David Horowitz - What is it with the Left? #4347
May 20, 2019 19:49 - 21 minutes - 29.6 MBAccording to David Horowitz, the far-Left has gone off the reservation. They're anti-American, pro-Communist and are trying to destroy everything that once made America great. They've had a multi-year war on Christianity and their emerging leaders have no idea what they're doing, or perhaps they do. Either way, they need to be defeated so the country can survive.
John Rubino - Making Spying Great Again #4346
May 20, 2019 19:27 - 25 minutes - 35.6 MBGoogle just drive a spike through the heart of Huawei's hearth. No more Android phone operating system for them! Everyone spies, especially the US. Is it better to have Alexa spying on you or the US Government. Neither of them have any concern for your privacy or your rights. Privacy as we used to conceive of it is rapidly disappearing.

Anthony Kovic - Everyone Should Prep #4345
May 16, 2019 17:11 - 18 minutes - 25.9 MBPrepping is an individual decision that depends upon where someone lives and their situation. It's not really about people who build ultra-lux bunkers with decades worth of food storage. Rather, it's about being prepared for local emergencies that can leave families scrambling. First, devise a plan that allows your family to meet at pre-determined locations, should home not be available and should communications be interrupted. It's a good idea to have some food and a water filter. Canned sou...
Michael Banner - Reverse Mortgage Financial Planning #4344
May 15, 2019 21:03 - 17 minutes - 24.5 MBMany people are emotionally tied into their homes. As they get older, their earnings potential declines but they want to maintain their quality of life. That's where a reverse mortgage can help. Rather than doing the rational thing - selling their home while investing the proceeds, a reverse mortgage allows them to eliminate their mortgage payments while still living in their home and thus cut their monthly living costs. It's a good idea to go over this scenario with a financial advisor or ac...
Peter Hug - Gold's Doing Okay #4343
May 15, 2019 17:49 - 27 minutes - 37.2 MBMany of us look at the precious metals markets and believe that there's something amiss. With all the money printing and geo-political turmoil, it's believed that the price should be much higher. Is it a conspiracy to hold prices down or is the market functioning the way it was intended? Peter believes that the demand just isn't there to make prices go higher. He gives the example, If the US and Iran went to war tomorrow, the price of gold would probably go over $1400, and not even JP Morgan ...
Nathan Lewis - Time to Cut the Federal Government in Half #4342
May 15, 2019 17:16 - 20 minutes - 28.3 MBNathan Lewis writes, "I think the time is coming for an idea that is so old that it is new again: cutting the Federal government in half. The idea is: cancel all Federal welfare-type programs, including all means-tested welfare programs (apparently there are over 150 of them), all healthcare-related programs including Medicare and Medicaid, all education-related, arts-related and housing-related programs, and anything else of this sort — in short, most everything except for the military, nati...
Danielle Park - Tariff Distraction #4341
May 14, 2019 20:33 - 28 minutes - 38.7 MBIt's no secret that the average worker's income has remained stagnant for decades. This has happened in the face of rising productivity and technological innovation and increased corporate profits. So what's a politician to do? Impose tariffs and blame the Chinese. At least that's what Danielle is thinking. At the same time, the economy could very well be headed for a slow down. How convenient, blame the eventual recession on the Chinese.
Matt Nye - Former White House Officials Facing Exposure #4340
May 14, 2019 15:52 - 23 minutes - 31.9 MBNow that the Mueller Investigation is over perhaps the truth can finally be told. Was there a plot to depose a duly elected president? Was it hatched at the highest levels of the Obama Administration with the invaluable assistance of the deep state, our intelligence agencies and foreign intelligence operatives? It looks like it's all about to come out. President Trump is promising to declassify all the relevant documents that will shed cleansing sunlight upon the cancerous rot in today's body...
John R. Grace - China Tariff Battles Come to a Head #4339
May 14, 2019 15:48 - 17 minutes - 24.2 MBPresident Trump pushed the button and the tariffs blasted off. What will be the net result? Will there be a redefinition of the China - US trade relationship? Now that the trade war has taken off in earnest, where will it all end? Where's the conversation about things we can agree upon?
Alasdair Macleod - Only the Authoritarian Will Survive #4338
May 13, 2019 20:55 - 24 minutes - 33.6 MBThe West is breaking down. Democracies seem unable to handle the onslaught of problems being thrown at them. According to Alasdair Macleod, Russia and China will be the last men standing once this economic cycle reaches its unhappy conclusion. Perhaps the rest of the world will wind up emulating their oppressive systems. It's happened in history before, and there's definitely a large rhyme taking place.
John Rubino - Andy Schectman: RoundTable #4337
May 13, 2019 17:07 - 32 minutes - 44.5 MBJohn Rubino and Andy Schectman joined us for a roundtable today. If the economy looks so great then why would anyone be worried about it. As John and Andy point out there's lots to worry about and that's why gold prices are breaking $1300 yet again. No doubt, President Trump will pull another rabbit out of a hat with China Trade, but then what? Debt keeps going up and so do entitlements and the demise of social security is just around the corner. And it's not much better in the rest of the wo...
Adam Andrzejewski - Time for Trump to Really Drain the Swamp #4336
May 13, 2019 16:16 - 16 minutes - 22.7 MBAdam Andrzejewski runs OpenBooks.org, a fiscal watch dog that often blows the lid off of corrupt spending. Corporate welfare now runs $400 billion per year. Boeing is by far the largest benefactor receiving billions yearly. And they're certainly not alone. Adam tells us about $1000 coffee cups at the Pentagon, that 5 sided paragon of waste, inefficiency and corruption. It's Adam's hope that Trump will address the true swamp in his second term, should he be reelected.

Jason Hartman - Economy Still Going Strong #4335
May 09, 2019 16:25 - 37 minutes - 51.5 MBJason and I discussed the economic expansion and how much longer it can continue. The answer, contrary to popular belief and punditry, is that it can go on for quite a bit longer, perhaps many years. There are mega-trends taking place that can keep it going, almost indefinitely. Everyone already knows that this is the longest stock market advance in history. However, the real economy didn't start moving until Trump's election. GDP growth had been lackluster and anemic during the Obama years. ...
Jeff Ferry - Final China Showdown Happening Now #4334
May 08, 2019 17:20 - 24 minutes - 33 MBTrade Deficit Improves 3.4% as China Deficit Hits Best Level in 23 Months. Now Trump has imposed 25% tariffs on $200 billion of Chinese goods. There's more to come and Trump isn't backing down. On brighter news, the U.S. trade deficit in goods and services for February was $49.4 billion, an improvement of 3.4 percent over the January figure of $51.1 billion, providing more evidence that tariffs are reducing the U.S. deficit. That’s according to figures published by the Department of Commerce....
Ken Ameduri - Cannabis Liberalization Coming Soon #4333
May 08, 2019 15:33 - 24 minutes - 32.9 MBNo matter how you figure it, Cannabis liberalization is coming and soon. Between bank protections for businesses and individuals engaged in the Cannabis
William G. Hyland, Jr. - George Mason, Forgotten Founding Father #4332
May 07, 2019 18:53 - 18 minutes - 24.7 MB“To disarm the people; that … was the best and most effectual way to enslave them.” —George Mason, the Founding Father who championed our God-given rights Individual freedoms are under attack in America today. Too many have misinterpreted—and even manipulated—the words and intent of the Bill of Rights to fit their own agenda. The only way to know their true meaning is to understand their chief architect, George Mason. George Mason: The Founding Father Who Gave Us The Bill of Rights by Wil...
Rich Wessenberg - Do You Need Health Insurance #4331
May 07, 2019 17:11 - 13 minutes - 19.2 MBYour medical insurance won't cover glasses or contacts. Nor will it cover cavities or root canals. What about preventative care and routine visits? You know medical insurance is a must, but when it comes to dental and vision plans, do you really need it? Certified Healthcare Consultant Rich Wessenberg breaks down what you need to know: Most insurance premium dollars are returned for dental and vision policies by taking advantage of annual preventive care visits!
Frank Vernuccio - Tax America to Greatness #4330
May 06, 2019 17:55 - 15 minutes - 21.8 MBOne of the most important news items, the virtual rebirth of the American economy under the Trump Administration, is also one of the most under-reported. The reasons for that are political. Obviously, it is a success for a White House that most of the media almost desperately attempted to prevent getting elected, and, once that effort failed, did everything possible to cripple. The magnitude of the Trump economic revival could be sufficient to get the President re-elected, an outcome that med...
John Rubino - Follow the Debt #4329
May 06, 2019 17:52 - 25 minutes - 34.7 MBThey used to say, follow the money, now it's follow the debt. John Rubino believes that the key to deconstructing the news media's latest hype or fake news is to simply watch the debt explode geometrically. Excessive debt causes irrational behavior which leads to comedians getting elected president. Where have we seen that before?

Paul Snow - Blockchain's True Calling #4328
May 02, 2019 18:21 - 16 minutes - 22.5 MBThe Blockchain technology appears to be moving away from crypto/klepto currencies and towards systems and controls to help facilitate accurate and timely record keeps and memorializing transactions. Now that the hype has somewhat subsiding from currencies, Paul Snow explains the true impact of the Blockchain and what his company has is working on.
Bill Baruch - Hogs Getting Ready for a Major Bust Out #4327
May 02, 2019 16:49 - 32 minutes - 44.2 MBYou've heard it here on this show before, there's trouble brewing in hog heaven. Seems the African Swine Flu has wiped out large portions of China's pig population. If the flu comes to the US, all bets are off. We could see a parabolic rise in pork belly futures. Bill Baruch has been trading since he was a kid. He got hooked on the old S&P Stock Guide, long before there was an Internet. Now he'll trade anything if there's a profit to be made. He's neutral on gold, negative on copper, and has ...
Dee Carter - Is Government the Biggest Economic Threat? #4326
May 01, 2019 18:06 - 20 minutes - 27.9 MB– Forty-four percent of Americans say the political environment in Washington is the biggest threat to the U.S. economy over the next six months, according to a new Bankrate.com report. This is more than three times the amount who cite terrorism or political/economic developments overseas, the next most popular choices (both 14%). Other perceived economic risks include a decline in the stock market (11%), interest rate decisions (8%) and something else (2%). The propensity to point to politic...
Mickey Fulp's Monthly Major Market Review (April 2019)
May 01, 2019 17:38 - 19 minutes - 26.2 MBUS Stock markets led by the S&P and NASDAQ hit record highs during April. Canadian markets up and emerging markets up as well. Dollar up, Euro flat, Bitcoin up to 5248, 10 year treasury yield up to 2.54. Silver and gold got hit again. Platinum looks like it's bottomed and Palladium was flat after last month's huge decline. Copper down a paltry 1.3%. WTI up another 6.3% and Brent up 7.7% for the month. Natgas continued its slide down another 4.8%. Uranium stabilized at 25.13. Gold/silver ratio...
Danielle Park - Global Luxury Housing Slump? #4325
April 30, 2019 21:54 - 30 minutes - 41.4 MBDanielle joined us to talk about the global luxury housing slump. Whether it's in the Hamptons, Vancouver or LA, it's happening now. How can this be with such a strong economy? We also talked about the fallacy of recycling, how it's devolved into a corporatist affair and isn't doing much to help the environment or the economy. Recently, Trudeau was called out for shipping Canada's garbage to the Philippines. Ah the global non-economics of recycling.
James Hirsen - Jerry Nadler has a Case of Subpoena Envy #4324
April 30, 2019 18:03 - 32 minutes - 44.3 MBNo sooner has the Mueller Report come up snake eyes for the Dems then they are busy issuing a flurry of subpoenas to the Trump Admin. They cover a variety of topics but their sole intent is to harass and attempt to dig up negative info on Trump, his businesses, his family members and administration members. Seems they're jealous of the 2800 subpoenas issued by Herr Mueller and are doing their best to play catch-up. But now Trump has turned the tables. He's asserting executive privilege and re...
Daniel Greenfield - Anti-Semitism and the New Left #4323
April 30, 2019 14:54 - 19 minutes - 26.4 MBDaniel Greenfield believes that the Democrat Party is rapidly shifting towards being the anti-semitic party. Their resounding failure to censure Rep. Omar is a perfect case in point. It's an amazing thing when we consider that the modern Democrat Party was in large measure supported and brought into being by all too many Jews. What does that say about its future?
John Rubino - Are Speculators the Dumbest People on the Planet? #4322
April 29, 2019 16:37 - 27 minutes - 37.3 MBA listener question triggers an interesting debate about the Commitment of Traders (COT) Report. How can the so-called Speculators keep on losing every month? How do the Commercial Traders always get it right? And who in their right mind is coming back month after month only to lose bigly? John believes that there's a constant supply of new Speculators. But are they really so rich and so dumb to keep this market going? Or maybe there's something else at work here. We're going to invite Craig ...

Sally Pipes - Medicare for All, Healthcare for None #4320
April 25, 2019 16:30 - 18 minutes - 26 MBIt always ends the same. Keep giving stuff away until there's nothing else to give. Sally Pipes does an analysis of the latest crop of democrat presidential nominees and comes away empty handed. We can't afford medicare for all no matter how attractive it may appear. But where there's an off the wall political/economic idea you will no doubt find a democrat running for president.
Eric Hadik - Latest Forecasts #4319
April 25, 2019 16:28 - 20 minutes - 28.7 MBWe discuss gold, oil, the stock market, interest rates and the dollar with noted forecaster Eric Hadek. He's not seeing much motion in gold markets until later in the year, but not much downside potential either. Look for a peak in oil prices shortly. Listen to the show for the rest.
RC Peck - The Priceline Matters Most #4318
April 24, 2019 15:38 - 24 minutes - 33.6 MBRC Peck observes that when Wells Fargo earnings beat expectations, the shares rose. Wells Fargo reported better-than-expected quarterly results on Friday, sending the stock higher in the premarket. The company’s results compared to Wall Street’s expectations: Earnings: $1.20 per share vs $1.09 per share expected by Refinity. Peck has been Chief Investment Officer at "Fearless Wealth Corp" for twenty years. He has challenged traditional investment ideas like the 60/40 split, diversification an...
Karen Kataline - The Incredible Lightness of Liberalism #4317
April 23, 2019 20:07 - 23 minutes - 31.8 MBKaren Kataline believes that a quiet takeover is happening now. Some say the road to socialist hell is paved with good intentions. What it’s really paved with is bloated government, wealth redistribution and central planning. Leftists have taken control of the Democratic Party and some have begun to tell the truth about their socialist ideology. Unfortunately, they’re not just talking about it. With almost identical measures on a variety of issues and national backing, they are implementing t...
Ned Schmidt - Major Pork Shortage on the Way! #4316
April 23, 2019 19:57 - 22 minutes - 31 MBYou heard it here first. Six months ago Ned Schmidt predicted that due to swine flu in China, that pork prices were on their way up. And sure enough, they've gone way up and Ned is certain they're going even higher. China has lost significant portion of their pig population and more is on the way. It's so bad that a hog convention in Iowa was recently cancelled due to fears of Asian visitors infecting American stock. It's almost getting to the point of panic. So buy pork futures now at your l...
Nick Santiago - December Stock Call Right on the Money! #4315
April 23, 2019 17:02 - 29 minutes - 40.4 MBNick Santiago nailed another call. When we spoke in December, he was quite confident that the stock market would rise again, and sure enough it did! Now, he's calling for an intermediate peak, the market is about to go through another turbulent spell, but again it's not the start of a new bear market. We discuss gold, oil, interest rates and the dollar. Let's see if he made another major call, yet again.
Tim Harris for President! #4314
April 22, 2019 22:03 - 17 minutes - 23.6 MBTim Harris is running a lone wolf campaign for the highest office in the land. But can he win? You be the judge. But he's got some good ideas and should be heard, at least a little.
John Rubino - Hang In There! #4313
April 22, 2019 20:50 - 31 minutes - 43.7 MBWe talk about a number of common themes on FSN and if we're being repetitious, we apologize. But these themes cannot be stressed enough. Eventually gold is going to take off, the stock market is going to tank and so are fiat currencies as well. We'll keep talking and letting you know as we approach the big day. Between now and then, you'll just have to be patient.
Lee Shultz - Siri and Alexa for President on the AI Party #4312
April 22, 2019 14:55 - 19 minutes - 26.9 MBLee, a fellow recovering attorney and FSN community member came back on the show. We discussed the Mueller report, the emerging Democrat 2020 presidential field and the current state of politics. We both agree that Attorney General William Barr. He's one intimidating dude. Notice how when he's testifying before Congress, he's treated with kit gloves. A Representative will ask a disrespectful question, Barr will pause for 5 seconds and then give an answer. At that point the Rep is flummoxed an...
