Joe Messina - Keep the California Insanity Going #4049
September 24, 2018 19:23 - 30 minutes - 42.3 MBIt's no secret that California has gone off the rails, and we don't mean high speed bullet trains. We're looking at a state that has lost its collective sanity. Is there any hope? Can anything be done. Perhaps, as long as Joe Messina doesn't desert the sinking ship. Affirmative action is running rampant, with affirmative action air traffic controllers, pilots and cardiologists. How do you request a non-affirmative action professional? But Joe is always optimistic and enthusiastic about the fu...
John Rubino - No Relief for Developing Country Currencies #4048
September 24, 2018 18:25 - 26 minutes - 36.2 MBIt's always good to be the king, as a wise philosopher one stated. And being the king of currencies is no exception. The US Dollar is rolling along and crushing every currency in its path. But how long can it go on? Looks like there's really life in the mining space once again, with Barrick's acquisition of Randgold.

Ned Schmidt - Barrick's Big Acquisition #4047
September 24, 2018 17:00 - 28 minutes - 26.5 MBBy now word is out that Barrick Gold is purchasing Randgold in a transaction valued at $18 billion. Could this be the start of the mining stocks M&A rush? Perhaps, but it certainly sends out a big message to both acquirers and acquirees. Heaven knows it's a target rich environment. China seems to be having issues with it's attempt to levy tariffs on US soy beans. Seems like there's just not enough other production available to replace the US. And then there's a horrible swine flu that's hit a...

Nolan Watson - Master of the Gold Cycle #4035
September 24, 2018 14:00 - 19 minutes - 18 MBNolan Watson, CEO of Sandstorm Gold Royalty (sponsor), joined us for a discussion of the gold mining industry and royalty streaming. For those not in the know, royalty stream companies are part of the mining industry's creative financing arm. Since prices have been depressed and access to capital is greatly limited due to the special risk factors of precious metals mining, companies have emerged to fill the void. A miner needing financing who has a viable project that is highly likely to go i...
Sam McElroy - Employment Numbers Keep Improving #4046
September 20, 2018 16:00 - 18 minutes - 17.4 MBThe new jobless claim numbers are the best they've been in 49 years. How much longer can it continue? Sam believes for quite awhile. The tax cuts appear to be kicking in as well, will they keep strengthening the economy? What about the debt, it's gone way way up. When will it start having an impact? And how about those tariffs, when will they start being felt? So far everything is coming up Trump. But for how long?
Andrew Henderson - The Nomadic Capitalist #4045
September 20, 2018 14:00 - 19 minutes - 17.9 MBEver since Andrew Henderson was a teenager, he had a hankering to travel and live in another country. He started actually do it a while ago and hasn't looked back. He's been in over 100 countries and is currently living in Georgia (the former Soviet Republic). Now he's teaching others how to do it too. From starting businesses in low tax areas, to helping you obtain citizenship, there's so many benefits to globalizing your life.

Bradley J. Birzer - Was Andrew Jackson the First President to Use "Covfefe"? #40
September 19, 2018 16:00 - 34 minutes - 31.3 MBBradley J. Birzer's book "In Defense of Andrew Jackson," does not state that Jackson used the Trumpian term Covfefe, but the two populist presidents certainly share much in common. They both put American First. But there are many differences as well, some of them due to the times in which they lived or are living, and others due to their character. But strength of will and the refusal to take no for an answer are dominant in both. The ability to turn their backs on ridicule and anger is also ...

Do they exist to simply maximize profit, regardless of abiding by a code of ethics or the laws of the land? Or are they here to serve the so-called stakeholders, including shareholders, employees, customers, creditors and the community at large? Obviously a company must turn a profit in order to continue its existence.

Kenneth Ameduri - Why is Socialism So Cool? #4041
September 18, 2018 19:59 - 26 minutes - 36.8 MBSocialism seems to be in vogue once again. It's amazing how bad ideas never really die. We've seen it fail over and over again, and yet the left will never let it die. A look at Venezuela proves the point. The country is on the brink of collapse or even disintegration, and yet the left believes that if only the right people were running things everything would be different. But the right people don't exist, it's a failed system. It's time to put this one to rest. It never works no matter wher...

Seasonality is turning favorable and traders front running the process, we may see an increase in January. John thinks it may be a good entry point. We also talked about the coming breakthroughs in quantum computing and the threat it may pose to all encryption, even crypto currencies. No one knows when or if it's coming, but it certainly seems likely at some point it will.

Just today a Russian troop transport was shot down in Syria. Why is the US and its allies supporting the alleged terrorists in this action? Do we have any goals being there, and if so what are they?

September 17, 2018 20:00 - 28 minutes - 26 MBFirst they came for Harvey Weinstein, then for Al Franken and Les Moonves and now for Judge Kavanaugh. Is anyone safe from the wrath of the #metoo movement. Can they go back to kindergarten when you dipped the girl's pigtail in the inkwell? Oh that's right that can't happen anymore since we're not teaching the youth to write cursively any longer and inkwells are nearly extinct, but you understand what we're getting at.

September 17, 2018 18:05 - 30 minutes - 41.6 MBKaren Kataline was back on talking about the incredible assault on liberty and freedom by the left, as witnessed by the Kavanaugh lynching. Just when you though it was safe to vote on a judicial nomination, the left pulls out all the stops and accuses an exemplary jurist of a high crime from when he as 17 and a mere high school student. No one knew about it for 35 years and then boom, Feinstein blasts it out. Just what you'd expect from this bunch. Perhaps Hillary should be hired to defend him.

Bernard Kerik - The Grave Above the Grave #4037
September 17, 2018 18:00 - 21 minutes - 28.9 MBFormer NYC Police Commissioner Bernie Kerik has just finished his 3rd book. This one serves as a stark reminder of 9-11 and that it could happen again. Bernie feels that we've all gotten a bit complacent and that makes it fertile ground for another attack. While the Commissioner doesn't see the possibility of another 9-11 style attack using commercial airliners, there's still plenty of possibility for a different variant, which is why we all need to be prepared.

Recently two tracker stocks were put on hold by the SEC for at least 10 days. Is this a sign that the SEC is getting more involved in the Crypto Currency space, or is it a fluke.

Gordon T. Long - The Reason Wy The Stock Market Keeps Going Up #4031
September 11, 2018 20:00 - 20 minutes - 18.5 MBGordon T. Long joined us today. His theory as to why the stock market keeps going up is two fold. On the one hand, stock buybacks continue to proliferate and on the other, the number of publicly traded US companies has declined by nearly half over the decades (through buy-outs, mergers and taking them private). This means more concentration, more private equity and less publicly traded companies which is bad for the country. Time to put a stop to it all.

John Rubino - Where We Go From Here #4030
September 11, 2018 19:20 - 37 minutes - 51.7 MBJohn and I took a number of your questions about finance, economics, the US Dollar and more. It lead to an interesting conversation about governments in the age of chronic out of control deficits. The conclusion is that a desperate government is capable of umpteen ways to loot its citizenry. If only the politicians spent as much time trying to solve profligate spending as they did thinking of new and creative forms of taxation, we wouldn't be seen as mere milk cows. More fun lays ahead.

The idea is as simple as it is effective, buy single family homes in low-key landlord friendly states and rent them out to quality tenants. Returns in the first year are often in the 10 percent and then when you factor in future appreciation and rising rents, it makes this strategy a no-brainer. And that's wh...

September 05, 2018 16:06 - 23 minutes - 31.9 MBDaniel Ameduri visited with us and discussed the ABC's of stock promotion. Every publicly traded company, no matter what their size has a stock promotion strategy. The days of the public discovering an undervalued up and comer through news stories and other tried and true methods is past. Dan says he won't invest in a company that won't promote its stock. The reason is simple, building a better mousetrap is just not enough. If there's no public involvement in a company, then it's probably hea...
