John will help prepare and make the experience a positive one. 

Dee Carter - The Oil Patch is Booming #4219

Financial advisor Dee Carter lives in the midst of the booming Permian Basin in Texas. They keep producing more and more oil and keep discovering new fields. The world may indeed go green one day, but it's going to need petroleum to get there. And for the foreseeable future, there's nothing else that is going to power the transportation of people and goods better than petroleum based fuels. It's nice to dream about an all electric future, but for now it's just that - a dream. 

Daniel Ameduri - State of the Union #4224

The State of the Union isn't as great as some would have you believe. Interest payments have hit $400 billion per year. Trump taking ownership of the economy is a mistake because it could come tumbling down at any time. Daniel believes the Dems are too self-interested in their own power and have given up any semblance of caring for the people. Identity politics and slash and burn is what they're all about. Perhaps the debt will get taken care of when it becomes a major crisis. The Fed rules!

Dan Anglin - Cannamerica Brands' Strategy for Domination of Cannabis #4218

CEO Dan Anglin was recently named to High Times's list of 100 Most Influential People in Cannabis. He's an FSN show sponsor and he's been involved in the Cannabis industry from the beginning. It is still a nascent industry and no one knows exactly where it's heading. However, Dan is charting a course to become a branding powerhouse and licensing operator. In the end, it's all about the brand. He's built a team that's got major Cannabis experience and is rapidly moving ahead. The company is pu...

Ken Ameduri - Everything is Coming Up Cannabis #4220

Just when you thought the market for Cannabis had peaked, major consumer product companies have started discovering the space. Altria (formerly known as Phillip Morris) has made a large investment. Same with Heineken Brewers and others. More and more jurisdictions are looking at cannabis legalization to increase government tax revenues and to lower law enforcement expenditures. Eventually it's going to turn into a branding contest. Hopefully small, craft oriented growers will be able to remai...

Dunnagan Kaiser - Prep Like Your Life Depends On It! #4217

Prepping doesn't have to be extreme to be effective. Dunnagan Kaiser explains to us how he got involved. It was the realization reinforced by a friendly police office that when disaster struck, he would be on his own. That gave birth to a highly successful YouTube channel and website. Having some emergency food on hand, a water filter, some self-defense tools and some precious metals is just a start. There's a lot more to it than that. It's a process and a life long study. 

Joel Salomon - Investor Psychology 101 #4216

Making money in investments is more about you than the actual investment. The first rule of successful investing should be know thyself. When you're aware of your goals and understand the risks you need to take to achieve them, investing takes on a whole new realm. Why we act is as important as what we actually do. Joel's new book goes into this in depth and shows you how to adopt a winning attitude. 

Luke Gromen - Trade War Ain't Over Till It's Over #4215

Luke Gromen believes that the much ballyhooed celebration over the end of the US-China trade war is extremely premature. To Luke, it's a case of an immovable object getting hit by an unstoppable force. For the US to prosper and start making things again, it will have to give up the dollar's reserve currency status. For China to move forward, it will have to give up its predatory IP policy and other China First measures. It's effectively a fight for world domination. And it has a long way to g...

Mickey Fulp's Monthly Major Market Review (Jan 2019)

It was an exciting January with stock markets vigorously bouncing back, metals performing well with gold breaking 1300 and silver topping 16.Palladium continued its major bull move. A bit of a bounce back in WTI and Brent. Henry Hub kept falling. Bitcoin lost another 7.3%. Rates on the 10 year Treasury declined. While the VIX dropped, volatility in most markets is on the rise.

Jarl Jensen - Fixing the Economy #4214

Jarl Jensen is an expert in innovation, creativity, and reimagining the economic and social order. He is passionate about talking to people about what they can do to do their part to fix our economy because it is one of the biggest problems we as Americans (and as people) are facing today. Since his exit from his very successful company, Jarl has been focusing on the dysfunctional economy and has written the book Optimizing America, through which he encourages the reader to change the way we ...

Nick Santiago - Calling the Markets Again and Again #4213

When last we spoke with Nick Santiago the market was tanking but he was nearly certain that it would shortly head higher. He was recommending the homebuilders and retailers. Again he was right on the money. The market recovered a good portion of its losses and his recommendations have taken off. Now he's bullish on gold and the dollar. He sees the stock markets heading sideway until 4Q when it will be heading higher. Gold is heading higher but will probably see a pullback shortly. A remarkabl...

John Miller - Better Living Through Stem Cells #4212

John Miller lives in Vietnam. His dear wife Monica was suffering from Stage 4 cancer and they decided to try stem cell therapy. Unfortunately the cells arrived at her time of passing. So they sent John 500 million cells derived from an umbilical cord. John received them and incredible things started to happen. His arthritis diminished greatly. His hair turned dark and his freckles and liver spots disappeared. He's feeling great and thankful to this novel treatment. We're not endorsing it or r...

Jeffrey Katz - Learning From the Greatest Teacher of all Time #4211

The principles in Jeffrey's new book The Secret Life could resolve the impasse between House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and President Trump on the wall impasse. Not pre-judging the other and being willing to give the other the benefit of the doubt, all done in a spirit of moderation and focusing on the larger relationships within our country that are so important to maintain - rather than continued focus on far narrower interests - could lead to a resolution between the two on this issue that is im...

Sally Pipes - Free Healthcare for All! #4210

Now that California Senator Kamala Harris has thrown her hat into the presidential ring, the Medicare for all debate has been reignited. While it sounds great, we need only look at our neighbor to the north - Canada, or across the pond at the UK. Their experiments with socialized medicine have been a disaster. Long weighting times to see a specialist and to obtain a medical procedures have condemned many to increased suffering and death. Sally has no doubt that that's what would happen here. 

Noah Rothman - Social Injustice For All #4209

Noted commentator and author Noah Rothman's latest book Unjust: Social Justice and the Unmaking of America, makes the case that Social Justice Warriors are a threat to our nation. As someone famous person once said, "They've learned nothing and forgotten nothing." Sounds like the very definition of an SJW. They just can' t quite grasp the notion of free speech and the Bill of Rights. They're under the misguided impression that rights spring from the government and not God. Hopefully they can ...

Ned Schmidt - Gold is Back! #4208

Why buy Apple when you can own gold? For the past 10 years the stock market has been the place to be. Oversized returns have crowded out most other investments or speculations. That situation appears to be changing. Gold just broke the critical $1300 mark and to Ned that means let the good times roll. Silver won't be too far behind as it's about to break the $16 mark.  Ag commodities have also been ignored. Ned believes that the Indian population's appetite for more calories is just taking of...

Daniel Pilla - IRS vs. Personal Privacy #4207

Noted tax litigator and author joined us to discuss the coming Big Brother IRS tracking systems. The IRS has spent a fortune bringing their systems up to date. They've signed up a company to build a massive database to allow the IRS to search, analyze and visual data to do real time tracking of taxpayers spending patterns. They've already got the data and now they're serious about doing something about it. They'll be taking your credit card info, bank transaction data, real estate, cellphone ...

Karen Kataline - Lies, Damn Lies and the Media #4206

Events over the past week have proven the Media for what it truly is, a mob of congenital liars. Witness the racist Covington kids tale and the Buzzfeed story about Trump supposedly directing Michael Cohen to lie to Congress. Any pretense at objective reporting has now been blown out of the water. The press cannot be trusted and should not be trusted. That's why alternative media is so popular. But look out, the big three internet companies are censoring like never before. 

Mason Weaver - Fighting the Left #4205

According to Mason Weaver black Americans are being kept down on the Democrat Plantation doing their masters' bidding. Poverty Pimps such as Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson don't care about the community. They only care about their power and wealth. They've destroyed the black family and have created a culture of dependency, but Mason believes people are waking up and that the battle has already been won. Here's hoping that he's right. 

Andrew Zatlin - Employment Decline on the Way #4204

Andrew Zatlin has turned bearish on the economy and employment. We've plateaued and that means it's down from here. How we get there is the question. Obviously, central banks will be pumping in liquidity like crazy. China is already doing it now. A new infrastructure bill is coming to the USA. But will it be enough?

Eric Wade - The Bitcoin Comeback #4203

Eric Wade Senior Editor and Lead Analyst with Stansberry Pacific Research. He believes that there's a possibility of a huge rally in 2019. New investors are coming and the will result in way more buying than selling. A lot of current Bitcoin investors are anxiously awaiting new money to enter the space. Only 8-10 percent of the American Public has even considered getting in to cryptos. Investors as a class are generally older and very few of them have considered it.  Until you start investing...

Danielle Park - Stocks Headed Back Down #4202

Danielle was always skeptical of the seemingly perpetual bull market in stocks and in fact wisely advised taking money off the table, to avoid the inevitable down cycle. Today, stocks are retreating from their 50 day moving average, another indication that the bear market has finally arrived. We'll know more over the next month, if stocks break their December lows. It will be further confirmation that the cycle has indeed changed. But is it worth waiting to find out for sure? Sometimes the ca...

Mark Ferguson - Successful Real Estate Investing Made Easy #4201

Real estate investing was in Mark's blood. It was his family's business, but he never had the desire to pursue it. After exploring other paths, he committed to real estate and his career has taken off. As a flipper and a realtor, he has a winning formula for making money. He shares his secrets of his success on his website and has written 6 books. It's safe to say he's a mission to help Americans boost their wealth and their futures. 

Thomas Lifson - Trump, 4D Chess and the Shutdown #4200

It's been a month since 25% of the government shutdown due to the Wall funding impasse between President Trump and the Democrats. Does Trump have a higher long term goal in mind by invoking the shutdown? Using the available legal tools at his disposal, is he going to take this opportunity to RIF (reduction in force) the government and trim away the deadwood. 800,000 non-essential employees are out of work. Will Trump make it permanent for several hundred thousand of them? AmericanThinker's Th...

Bill Powers - Transition Point for Metals and Miners? #4199

We connected with Bill Powers of MiningStockEducation.com. He's guardedly optimistic about precious metals and the miners. While it appears that the sector is still in a down market, recently encouraging signs have emerged. Relative strength in PM prices along with fundamental changes taking place in the industry could make 2019 a great year for investors and miners alike. 

Lior Ganz - Inflation Ahead and the Case for Gold#4198

Lior Ganz believes a major paradigm shift in the global economy is about to take place. De-dollarization and the runaway deficits will lead to higher inflation and higher precious metals prices. One half of the country is living hand to mouth, in spite of record employment. How did that happen? In addition, gold has reached record levels in 72 countries, just not the US. Furthermore, the US Dollar returned more than stocks and bonds for the first time since 1969. All alarming stats that will ...

Jordan Roy Byrne - Getting Ready For Gold #4197

Jordan Roy Byrne joined us at the Metals Investor Forum for a review of the current precious metal market. Jordan believes we're in for one final decline, perhaps minor, which will lead to an amazing set-up for a major bull market in gold. He's extremely bullish on a number of mining companies that he believes will rack up impressive results in the not too distant future. It's important to note that the last few times we talked with Jordan he was not bullish in the least. Things have change. 

Jordan Goodman - Economic Obstacles Popping Up All Over#4196

Between the shutdown, trade issues, the deficit, the student loan bubble, the auto loan bubble, etc., what's an investor to do? The only surprise is that the market hasn't taken a bigger hit, but there's time. Interest rates appear to have peaked at the present time, but is that enough to keep the engine going? And oil prices have crashed too. Jordan as always has some common sense ways to survive and thrive.  Unbeknownst to Kerry, Jordan Goodman has been under investigation and charged by t...

Matt Nye -Presidents Will Come and Go, but the Shutdown is Forever #4195

Has the republican party finally grown a set. They seem to be intent on keeping the shutdown going and improving border security with a wall thrown in for good measure. Who will blink first? If history is any judge the republicans will probably snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. But the republican liberty caucus isn't backing down, that's for sure. 

Martin Armstrong - Stocks Have Way More to Go! Part 2

Martin Armstrong - Bull Market in Stocks Has Way More to Go! Part 1

Martin Armstrong joined us for a wide-reaching discussion about the economy, stock markets, debt, gold and cryptos. He's absolutely certain that the parabolic 10 year stock market rise is going to continue onward and upward for many years, and not for reasons you may think. He's also predicting the rise of central bank cryptos as a means to further control the populace and fight crime. And that means the demise of private cryptos, which we've been predicting for months. Gold is going up, but ...

Frank Vernuccio -ShutDown and ShutUp #4194

As the partial federal government shutdown hits day 25, perhaps there's lots more to the story than meets the eye. Has it all been a plan by Trump to dramatically pare down the government workforce? Once the shutdown hits 30 days, Trump can order a reduction in force or RIF and fire many non-essential employees. It certainly gives him leverage with the Dems as they couldn't stand seeing hundreds of thousands of their natural constituents on the street and unemployed. Is it 4-D Chess or our im...

Joe Messina - California Goes Further off the Deep End #4193

Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse, Gaven Newsom is now the governor and he's planning ever larger giveaways to illegal aliens. Where does he think the money's going to come from? California is already $127 billion in debt and counting. Liberalism has reached pandemic proportions and Joe is very concerned. In fact, for the first time, he and his lovely wife are making plans to flee the state. Who can blame them for not wanting to go down with the ship? 

Eddie Ghabour - Bezos/Amazon's Divorce From Reality #4192

It's all over town, the Bezos's are getting a divorce. Is that enough to move Amazon's stock and the market? Probably not and it's likely just a diversion. But a costly one at that. Eddie thinks we're just going through a routine stock market correction and that the market will soon bounce back. Hopefully, he's right and the economy will keep buzzing along. But there's definitely some very strong headwinds, especially escalating debt that will have to be dealt with. 

John Rubino - Ungovernability #4191

Politicians, especially on the left are saying things that they could have never gotten away with 5 years ago. Cursing out your president on live tv was unheard of. In a way Trump has brought this on himself. Having very little ability to filter his speech, he lowered the bar for others. And now that the toothpaste is out of the tube, it will be impossible to put it back in. So get ready for lots more. 

Jeff Ferry - How Good is the Economy Really #4190

GM announced positive earning reports while deciding to shutter 5 US assembly plants, discontinue car production and offshore more manufacturing to Mexico. Is that really winning? It's a trend that's been in place for nearly 40 years, but Jeff is hopeful that the new USMCA deal will help raise wages and competitiveness of the US economy. Things are starting to heat up in China and the question is whether compromise will lead to an agreement. Right now it's anyone's guess. Trade is a evolving ...

Triple Lutz Report #465 - Ruth Bernie Ginsberg

It's no secret that Justice Ginsberg has had her share of medical challenges. And having been witness to many people who've suffered similar fates, we're extremely sympathetic to what she's going through. But she has no business still being on the High Court. She's been fading for many years and has become a mythical figure. How much longer can she continue on down this path? Probably not much, which is why she should be allowed to enjoy a quiet retirement and not expected to be the torch car...

Robert Paolini - Debunking Real Estate Myths #4188

Is investing in real estate too risky? Do you have to be rich to invest? Does investing take too much time? Are these all good questions or just improper myths?

Benjamin Brown - Always Be Selling #4187

Sales expert and consultant Benjamin Brown joined us. Sales has always been one of the top 5 highest earning professions in the US. Opportunities there have never been greater. You just need to take the time to learn how to do it right. Once you become a pro, the sky is the limit. But it takes a lot of hard work and practice to become a sales professional.

Robert Siciliano - More and More Data Breaches #4186

Noted credit expert Robert Siciliano joined us today. The good news is that all 4 credit bureaus must provide now allow consumer's to freeze their reports upon demand. The bad news is that there are now 4 credit bureaus and most people don't take advantage of this security measure anyway. You need to shred all your mail and let your password manager assign your passwords. Allow for push notifications on all your credit cards. This will enable you to pick up on any fraudulent use in near real ...

Brad Williams - Employment Numbers Keep Getting Better and Better #4185

JOB GROWTH SURGES BY 312,000 IN DECEMBER Job creation ended 2018 on a powerful note, with non-farm payrolls surging by 312,000 in December though the unemployment rate rose to 3.9 percent. The jobless rate, which was last higher in June, rose for the right reason as 419,000 new workers entered the workforce and the labor force participation rate increased to 63.1 percent. The participation level was up 0.2 percentage points from November and 0.4 percentage points compared with a year earlier....

Danielle Park - Is Real Estate Next? #4184

Real estate has seen quite a rise during the current cycle. However, our economic world is complicated; everything is \connected. While the stock market has been taking its lumps, what will be the effect on real estate? Danielle believes that it's going to come down as well, for a number of reasons. Obviously the wealth effect brought on by rising stock prices can act in reverse. There's also the necessity of many investors to liquidate their holdings, both due to demographic reasons and the ...

Craig Hemke - Somebody's Got to Buy that Stuff #4183

2019 is beginning to look a lot like 2010. Economic growth will be hard to find. Metals should start going up smartly later in the year. The Fed will be buying all the debt that's being produced. People will realize that there's no plan and that there's no turning back. No going back to normal. The past 4-5 years were a time of relative economic tranquility, but that's over. Calling in the Plunge Protection Team because the market dropped 20% was the tip-off according to Craig. De-dollarizati...

David Moadel - Get Ready for The New New Economy #4182

David Moadel is the Chief Analyst and Opportunity Researcher for PortfolioWealthGlobal.com. David discusses why the next 10 years is going to be a lot different than the last decade and you need to be prepared. Real estate, gold and cannabis are his three main themes.  David’s journey from newbie to influencer began as a teenager, when his father first began teaching him fundamental, time-tested principles in the vein of Graham, Buffett, Munger, and Bogle. Being young and doing what teenager...

John Rubino - Apple iPhone Futures Take a Big Hit #4181

Like the much vaunted butterfly affect, so too with financial markets and debt. We go merrily along out way thinking everything is fine, only to discover that we were wrong. While we totally mis-called the market from 2011 to late last year, eventually the chickens come home to roost. And then Apple has a major miss and the market can't stop going down. But wait, the next day everything is fine and the market goes way up. There's something happening here, but what? 

Chris Martenson - What Ever Happened to Real Markets #4180

If the purpose of a market is price discovery then clearly there's something major wrong with what passes for markets today. Numerous times throughout the day, questionable series of transactions take place which leads markets heading in a direction that is favorable to the powers that be. When will markets begin to serve their primary function? And what about those yellow vests in France, why have their protests been completely ignored by the lame stream media? Obviously things are not nearl...

Dr. John Huber - Talking You Off the Ledge #4179

It's easy to get depressed and anxious when you see the value of your investments go down daily. However, you need to find perspective. Dr. Huber suggests a vigorous exercise regimen to help you manage the stress. Perhaps seeing someone can help you deal with it. But don't go out on ledge thinking it will solve anything. A study of unsuccessful jumpers off the Golden Gate Bridge, found that all of them believed they could handle any life situation once they experienced a jump. Seems that it's...

Bob Hoye - Gold's Time is almost Here! #4178

It's been a long wait but Bob Hoye turned bullish on gold in November. According to economic historian Bob, it's merely following the path that it's followed many times in the past. He still believes that the dollar will continue to be the best looking cow in the slaughter house. A lot of people went into the market as pigs and are going to come out as sausages. 

Daniel Greenfield - Millennials The Peter Pan Generation #4177

Daniel Greenfield believes that the problem with Millennials is that they just won't grow up. They're leaving the home later, marrying later and have children even later than any generation before it. That's why they're so attracted to an attractive moron like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Adds credence to never trusting anyone with a hyphen in the last name. But grow up they must and the crash will help them do that just fine. Get ready for the Millennials to grow up really fast. And watch what ...
