He suggested that the formula of a 60/40 allocation to stocks and bonds is going to be problematic if we've entered a window of a secular bear market in bonds. Welsh also discussed the impact of rising inflation on consumers and the economy, and how the excess savings accumulated during the pandemic will be gone for most consumers by the end of September, which will lead to a slowdown in the economy. Additionally, Welsh predicted a pullback in the dollar, a weaker euro, and a rally in gold. He believes that Treasury yields will come down over the next six months as the economy slows down due to demographic problems, low birth rates, and enormous debt needs. The S&P 500 may have one more rally before a difficult year in 2020. Welsh suggested that a buy and hold strategy using 60/40 will not be successful over the next ten to fifteen years as we deal with these big problems.

Amid recent the recent stock decline, we had a sit-down with Arthur Halleran, CEO of sponsor Trillion Energy (TCF 🇨🇦: TRLED 🇺🇸) to gain insight into the situation. Here’s what we learned. Natural Gas Production: Trillion’s natural gas output was below expectations due to technical glitches, including oversized gas lines and water intrusion into wells. Solutions in Play: To address the issues, Trillion sought expertise from a top-tier consultant for a comprehensive review of the SASB field. Their swift recommendations include perforating the waterlogged wells to up the pressure and remove water. This economical solution provides Trillion a cushion to add pumps to each well and modify the line size. Market Dynamics: The ongoing geopolitical events have been pushing gas prices upwards, a trend that Halleran expects to persist. Company’s Viability: Addressing concerns, Halleran reassured that Trillion is not only profitable but is also targeting a daily production surge to 7.5 mcf by year-end. Furthermore, the company is set to drill 5 sidetrack wells in 2024, hinting at a significant production expansion. Oil Venture: Trillion has initiated a seismic study of its new Cudi-Gabar oil farm-in. Nearby fields boast production rates of 10,000 and 100,000 bpd. With a neighboring well just a kilometer away, Halleran sees an opportunity for a free firsthand look into Trillion’s own field dynamics. Trillion’s challenges will soon be in the past. With strategies in place to optimize gas production and the advent of the sidetrack wells, the company's cash flow is poised to see a substantial rise. Cudi-Gabar has the potential to be a monster field. The company is effectively trading at its 2021 price, when we first purchased shares, except it now has production and greater prospectivity, which is why we're giving serious thought to increasing our position.  Visit Trillion’s Website: https://TrillionEnergy.com

We sat down with Regenx Tech’s (RGX 🇨🇦: RGXTF 🇺🇸) CEO Greg Pendura and USA Division President Rick Purdy for a sponsor update. The team has been busy getting its first plant module up and running. As with any new technology, there have been challenges, but the company has finished the plant commission process and is now ramping up production. Their goal is to process 2.5 tons daily of diesel catalytic converters (per module) and recover the platinum and palladium contained therein; it is now within reach. Purdy is extremely pleased with their efforts to date. The plant has been streamlined and the recovery process upgraded, which necessitated installation of a larger gas line. Now the ramp-up begins.  Pendura commented, “It’s coming together and we’re very excited about what we’ve got.” He recently presented RGX’s technology to the Precious Metals Institute’s Scottsdale Conference, which resulted in an NDA from a large industry player, who will soon visit the company’s Tennessee facility. It was also discovered that large smelters have been stockpiling currently unrecyclable diesel converters, while urgently seeking a way to economically reprocess them. This could be another major source of feedstock material for Regenx.  As the company moves from proof of concept to full-scale industrial production, the market will soon wake up to Regenx’s potential and inherent value, which is why we continue to hold RGX shares.

When we talk about debt and its impact on our economy, we almost always mean “government debt.” However, this is only a small part of the picture: individuals, private firms, and households owe trillions, and these private debts are vital to understanding the economy. In this iconoclastic book, Richard Vague examines the assets, liabilities, and incomes of the entire country, private and public sector, to reveal its net worth. His holistic analysis shows that the real factor that drives both financial crises and spiraling inequality―but also, paradoxically, economic growth―is ever rising private debt. The paradox is that while debt is essential and our economy relies on it, it also brings instability unless it is periodically deleveraged―and that is very hard to do. It can, however, be carefully managed, and Vague ends the book by showing how to do so in policy areas ranging from trade and housing to financial policy and student debt. Underpinned by pioneering data analysis and the author’s lifetime of experience in the financial world, this book is essential for anyone who wants to understand the deep, underlying dynamics of the American economy.  Get Richard's Book: https://www.amazon.com/Paradox-Debt-Prosperity-Without-Crisis/dp/1512825328 Visit FSN https://FinancialSurvivalNetwork.com

Fed is getting frustrated that the markets don't think it's serious.  Under the headlines, the economy is still slowing.       --manufacturing indexes are in contraction -- commercial real estate is falling -- housing is frozen, stocks hit new highs and are cutting prices. There’s a shortage of housing due to 3% mortgages. Baby boomers can’t downsize.  Niger coup roils the uranium market. Why political risk is a real thing. The BRICS meeting is this month, expect lots of chatter leading up to it.  Is Elon Musk the most powerful person on earth? Drones and AI are taking over warfare.  The Cold War was scam. Now the rearmament cycle begins anew.  Visit John at: https://Rubino.Substack.com Visit us at: https://FinancialSurvivalNetwork.com

PMI Report (Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index) measures the activity level of purchasing managers in the manufacturing sector Past few months we have seen the numbers in line or under expectations Last week it was above for the first time since April Another number will be reported tomorrow ALL values are still negative, even if they are not as negative as initially thought. Everyone is Bullish and it is scary! Morgan Stanley strategist Mike Wilson finally capitulated and apologized for getting the market wrong the last nine months. (He is a huge bear mkt guy) from 3500-4400 When the Street’s most bearish strategist turns bullish, does that mean the market is due for a correction? YES! Time to get short. Last year people were adding on to TBill positions. This Year, everyone YOLOed into tech stock and out of TBills Right on market highs. You could not have scripted this any better. Between strategists apologizing and people YOLOing into tech stocks, I think it’s time to book whatever gains we have and move to the sidelines. Lets put a baseline correction of 10-12% And it could get worse. All I know is that all the conditions are in place for a correction of some magnitude. And it will take a lot of people by surprise, as these things usually do. Word of advice: sell when you can, not when you have to. Never confuse brains with a bull market. When we start to hear of plumbers quitting their jobs and getting into day trading… again. They made a lot of money off TSLA and think that is a repeatable strategy. Here we go again.  We all remember that in the 90s, but I guess not everyone does. We can talk about how interest rates are over 5%, how there is a war in Europe, how there is the persistent threat of inflation, how richly valued the stock market is—none of it matters. These are the sorts of things that people like us talk about on media shows.  People may hear us, but are they listening? You want to know where the market is going? Don’t follow the smart money; follow the dumb money. – I use that term loosely, because the pain will be real.   Inflation is 3% The tomb is sealed, and we don’t even realize it yet. Bottoms are made on panic. Tops are made on euphoria. In October, we were fearing hyperinflation. Now there is open discussion about deflation. The truth is always somewhere in between. We went from believing that inflation was undefeated to defeated in nine months. Over that time, the stock market has rallied over 20%. There is a lot of complacency out there. It’s the summer, people are having a good time, and they don’t see the need to hedge. People aren’t doing a lot of thinking about how to insure against a downturn. Mind you, I’m not talking about a crash—I would never call for a crash—I’m just saying that a sharp correction is highly likely, and it is going to catch a lot of people offside.

We sat down with a new show sponsor, Correlate Energy’s CEO Todd Michaels (OTC: CIPI). He explains that fortunes are made and lost when major energy transitions take place. Today we are in the first inning of a major transition away from centralized electricity generation to decentralized production. As CEO Michaels stated, “Just like the smartphone changed the way we all work and communicate, decentralized energy will have a similar profound effect.” As the electrification transition rapidly moves forward, traditional carbon-based energy sources alone cannot provide the extra needed giga-watts. However, multi-trillion-dollar government incentives are locked in place and there’s no going back. Solar, wind and increasingly microgrids will lead the way. Correlate is uniquely situated to capitalize upon the resulting opportunities. In it’s case, their seasoned team has decades of experience in the renewable energy marketplace. They provide customers with a one-stop solution including: financing, planning, permitting, construction and operational management. The company just announced an initial $100 million joint venture with eDGe Renewable Partners which will dramatically increase micro-grid development and construction, nationwide. The strategy appears to be working as the company became cashflow positive in May and expects revenues of $25-35mm in 2023 and $45-60mm in 2024 while achieving 18-25% margins. CEO Michaels states, “You can see the [revenue growth] directionality as our projects are now coming to fulfillment.” He makes a compelling case as few businesses can resist the ability to lock in and reduce their electric bills for the next 20-30 years. Decentralized Energy has arrived and promises to be the hottest and most profitable energy sector for the next several decades. Correlate offers a low-cost, low-risk way to profit from this inexorable trend. Company website: https://Correlate.Energy

The U.S. economy showed much stronger-than-expected growth in the first quarter than previously thought. GDP increased at a 2% annualized pace for the January-through-March period, up from the previous estimate of 1.3%. The upward revision helps undercut widespread expectations that the U.S. is heading toward a recession but I am not so sure that is realistic if the Fed’s continue pushing rates higher. We all know inflation has finally hit 4% according to the CPI but consumer spending, as gauged by personal consumption expenditures, rose 4.2%, the highest quarterly pace since the second quarter of 2021 and Core PCE prices rose 4.9% which will only fuel the Fed’s resolve to continue pushing rates higher to continue contracting the economy. Interestingly we see that exports rose 7.8% after falling 3.7% in the fourth quarter of 2022 so demand seems to be healthy. Though I think many investors are wanting to be bullish, now is not the time to embrace the market with both hands.  Remember that as we begin entering earnings season many of these companies get to set their own bar, therefore it has been easier for them to look good when in reality there is underlying weakness in their earnings. Be patient, focus on dividends (collect them or spend them) but be ready to buy as there’s likely to be more K-Mart Blue Light Specials coming.

Martin Turenne, CEO of FPX Nickel (🇺🇸FPOCF -- 🇨🇦FPX) provided a sponsor update. The company is currently sitting on C$32 million with a good likelihood of more coming. C$16 million came in via an investment by giant European stainless producer Outokumpu. An additional C$2 million arrived via FPX’s confidential investor, to maintain its %9.9 FPX share. Martin also discussed the significance of FPX’s newly formed global generative exploration alliance with Japan Organization for Metals and Security (“JOGMEC”), which aims to build on the successes of the Baptiste Nickel Project by identifying new large-scale awaruite nickel deposits worldwide. In furtherance of this agreement, Keith Patterson joined as VP of Exploration. He’s a seasoned mining company executive with vast exploration experience. Martin had previously scoured the planet looking for awaruite deposits similar to Baptiste. These deposits are found in many countries; Martin has already identified the most promising targets for future acquisition. Now that FPX has proven that awaruite deposits are economically feasible, these projects have enormous upside potential. FPX’s future is looking bright. Retail investors are starting to catch on as witnessed by the recent share appreciation. Interest among OEM’s and other nickel consumers is building. The company is moving to release its preliminary feasibility statement in September and this could well spark an explosive phase in the company’s growth. Company website: https://FPXNickel.com

The Fed "paused" but didn't stop? What does that mean? Are we there yet? Stocks tanked on Friday. Europe might be a big story in 2H. Recession, spiking interest rates, German deindustrialization. China meltdown continues, where will it end? San Francisco is failing, the laboratory of democracy. Violence over the weekend across the country was stupefying.

Noted cycle analyst Eric Hadik joined us for a market overview. He believes the dollar will stay close to its current range for a protracted period of time. Interest rates have peaked and are heading lower, perhaps in anticipation of the coming election cycle.  What affect this will have on housing is yet to be determined. Rates look like they are staying higher than they were during the housing bull market.  Gold should have a pullback soon and then proceed higher. Depending upon the extent of the pullback, they could go substantially higher.  Oil should see higher prices coming after its current consolidation.  Bitcoin could see a major increase come July, if it manages to stay above the $25,000 range that it's currently occupying.  A very interested and detailed look into the markets.  Visit Eric at: insiidetracktrading.com

Federal Reserve – to hike or not to hike Pause is expected – further notes after the release of the interest rate move Bullish stocks, low bond yields and recovering housing market suggest interest rates aren’t that restrictive The Fed’s mission has been to get interest rates high enough to slash inflation from its current 4% to 5% range to 2%, even if that means pushing the economy into recession and unemployment higher. If the Fed had succeeded, you probably wouldn’t be seeing these things: stocks entering a new bull market, a rebounding housing market or long-term Treasury yields well below the inflation rate. Typically, when the Fed raises short-term rates, stock prices fall, and long-term bond yields and the dollar rise. That’s what happened for the first six months of Fed tightening in more or less textbook fashion. But since October, all have changed direction. The S&P 500 is up 22% since last fall’s low. This reflects rising earnings forecasts and excitement about artificial intelligence Behind the rally in stocks is a belief that inflation will soon plummet as pandemic-related distortions of prices for new and used cars, apartment rents and houses all reverse.  Then the economy will slow due to rate hikes and eventually the Fed will cut rates. Banks are tightening lending – GDP grew 1.6% (lower then long term run rates) unemployment rose to 3.7% Yet somehow we continue to see the economy moving forward. Markets are pricing in a high probability that central bank policymakers will “skip” — an expression they generally prefer to “pause” — at this month’s meeting as they digest the impact of 5 percentage points worth of increases going back to March 2022. Not an end Inflation is dropping – good sign 4% y over y probably cemented the decision to pause Stop to evaluate – what do the post meeting minutes say?  The details are important Are they leaning towards raising rates further? – likely to see a rate hike in July 25-26 meeting. What happens with GDP.  Continued improvement or a “shallow recession”. A pause recognizes that there’s a lag between what we do and when it shows up in the economy and inflation. What does Powell say at the press conference – probably committed to continued lowering inflation and keeping the hiking door open.  Most likely no comment about July move. Finding the balance between enough aggression to bring down inflation while not tanking the economy is the Fed’s ultimate goal. History suggests that central banks that pause usually commence hiking soon after they discover that inflation hasn’t been vanquished  a recession remains the most likely case for most economists. The risk in continuing to raise interest rates is something will break more structurally than it has so far Then they would have to lower interest rates if they cause a recession. In the past, we’ve had very few periods where the fed funds rate went up then plateaued. Usually, the Fed overdoes it

During the meeting, Kerry Lutz and Aaron Clary discussed the benefits of getting off the societal support and validation grid by building your own home. They argued that this approach could provide economic opportunities and valuable skills, and could be a solution to the housing crisis. They also discussed the potential mental benefits of opting-out of society and rediscovering oneself, but acknowledged that not everyone will participate in this trend. Aaron suggested that young people should consider building their own homes instead of pursuing higher education, and mentioned the hurdles that come with this unconventional approach, such as the cost of land and the need for skills in carpentry and home repairs. Kerry shared a personal anecdote about fixing a toilet and encouraged listeners to take on household repairs themselves or find a handyman to save money. They also discussed the potential for creative financing, such as rent-to-own, and the availability of resources like YouTube for self-instruction. In the wrap-up of their interview, Kerry and Aaron discussed where to find Aaron's work and had a brief personal chat about South Dakota and Aaron's personal life. The tone was friendly and casual, with both speakers expressing pleasure in talking to each other.

Economic historian extraordinaire is with us today to explain the credit bust, where it's heading, where we're going, and put it in historical perspective as well. As Bob explains, this credit/economic bust is just like all the others, only potentially much worse. This is great news for the US Dollar and eventually gold. But it's bad news for tech stocks and the rest of the economy. Bob believes that this ultimate credit bust will lead the world to head back to a gold stand and that's a good thing. Gone will be the days of financial engineering by the world's inept conflicted and compromised central bankers.

Addison Wiggin was with Kerry to discuss a broad range of topics related to finance and economics. They talked about the importance of understanding big trends and positioning personal money accordingly, as well as the mistakes made during the boom and the importance of good investment practices. They also discussed the causes of inflation and how it is impacted by the reserve currency of the world, arguing that inflation is primarily a monetary phenomenon and that the Federal Reserve's policies have a global impact.

They agreed that cryptocurrencies lack many of the principles of currency and are not a medium of exchange per se'. Additionally, they talked about the psychology of financial markets and the importance of self-regulation, noting that the dopamine rush that comes with boom profits in financial markets makes it very difficult to self-regulate, especially for inexperienced investors.

Kerry Lutz and Jeremy Cordon discussed Gold Backs, a form of commodity money that is split into a thousand pieces and wrapped in a protective layer to make it nearly impossible to counterfeit. Nearly half of all small businesses approached are interested in accepting Gold Backs. Since 2019, they have become the most successful local currency in American history. They are worth four dollars each and have a 5% spread on them, tighter than silver. Gold Back Inc. has created a product that is a series of local currencies that are tied to the Uniform Commercial Code and are exchangeable for a gold eagle. It has been sold on every continent except Antarctica and has added three quarters of a million people to the gold market in the past few years. It is sold by big metals dealers and online retailers, and more information can be found at www.GoldBack.com.

He believes that the deflationary cycle is underway and that the government will have to write off some debt in order to get the economy going.

Roei Ganzarski's company Alithieon has developed a technology that enables authentication and verification of items without the need for etching, serial numbers, or any other form of identification. This technology uses a feature print to identify items with just a camera. BMW is the lead investor in the company, which has over 45 patents and is already being used in five distinct segments, including luxury goods, collectibles, transportation, DOD, and pharmaceuticals. The technology is robust enough to identify items even after they have been altered or scratched, and can even identify counterfeit items. The company is currently privately held, but hopes to go public in the next 24 months. Visit Alithieon's site at:  https://alitheon.com Visit FSN at: https://FinancialSurvivalNetwork.com

Kathleen Day has written a book about the history of financial crises in the US, which have been occurring since the founding of the country. She explains that while deregulation can be beneficial, it must be accompanied by increased oversight to prevent crises. People tend to forget the lessons of the past and take more risks when other people's money is at stake. The reserve requirement is meant to protect against liquidity crises, but if the demand for deposits continues, banks can still become insolvent and taxpayers must pay the price. Kathleen Day discussed the similarities between the financial crisis of the 1980s and the current situation, noting that both had to do with inflation and interest rates. She also discussed the role of the government in regulating banks and the need for stress tests for all size banks. Lastly, she discussed the dangers of moral hazard and the need for banks to be conservative in their investments. kathleenday.com FSN

John Rubino is concerned that automation and government debt will lead to a collapse of the current system, and suggests that people should move their money into assets that cannot be inflated away.

America just refuses to face reality and that means that the dollar will continue to lose value and more and more money will be tossed into the furnace. Politicians are much more willing to feed the inflation beast than they are to fix the underlying problem of out of control spending. And it's not a matter of parties. It's matter of always taking the easy way out. After all, in current day America, a politician's primary responsibility is to get reelected every 2-4-6 years  Until that changes, nothing else will change.

Wolf Richter summarizes that the economy is a mix of different sectors, with some doing well and some struggling. Consumers are still spending, but the banks are facing high interest rates and the commercial real estate sector is facing repurposing and foreclosure. The auto industry is seeing a decline in sales, but Tesla is still doing well. Tesla is shaking up the auto industry by cutting prices and building production capacity in large amounts, forcing legacy automakers to compete on price. This is good for industrial America and consumers, but bad for automakers as sales of internal combustion engine vehicles are at levels not seen since the 1970s. Electric utilities are also benefiting from increased electricity sales. Wolf Richter and Kerry Lutz discussed the current state of the financial system, with Wolf noting that the economy is adjusting to higher interest rates and that banks are struggling with them. They also discussed the possibility of the Federal Reserve cutting rates and the potential impact it would have. Wolf concluded that the economy will muddle through and that it will be many more years before autonomous driving is widely available. Visit Wolf's site: https://wolfstreet.com

Dana Samuelson, founder and president of American Gold Exchange, joined Kerry Lutz on the Financial Survival Network to discuss the current state of the gold market. He believes that gold is consolidating around the $2,000 mark and that the key to the gold market is the value of the dollar relative to other currencies. He believes that if the Fed is forced to pause, gold has the potential to increase by 10-15%. He also believes that the global debt crisis is unsustainable and will eventually lead to the devaluation of fiat currencies. He believes that gold is the currency of last resort and will be a great hedge against the loss of purchasing power of the dollar.

The debt ceiling is a political bargaining chip used by both parties to get their desired outcomes. It is inevitable and does not have to be a bad thing, as long as it is kept under a certain percentage of revenue. The disruption to the monetary system will come from digital currencies, which will be backed by a military and government. The US is relatively stable, but the next 3-6 years will be volatile and rocky due to the economic downturn and Covid. Individuals should prepare for this by being aware of the situation and taking necessary precautions. Carl Gould advises to buy assets at a discount and manage for cash flow during volatile times. He suggests investing in marketing and brand building, and for employees to show their boss how indispensable they are and be willing to come back to the office. Elon Musk's advice to go back to the office is also a sign that it's time to do so. Find Carl at https://carl360.com Visit us at https://FinancialSurvivalNetwork.com

We sat down with Regenx Tech’s (🇺🇸RGXTF -- 🇨🇦RGX) CEO Greg Pendura and USA Division President Rick Purdy for a sponsor update. They are moving quickly towards a production start at their flagship Tennessee plant. Their proprietary process which takes discarded diesel catalytic converters and extracts platinum, palladium and rhodium was proven out in their pilot plant and is well on its way to commercial production. Once operational, it will recover up to 3000 grams per ton of plat/pal. With an expected processing rate of 2.5 tons per day, the numbers quickly add up. They will be printing money. Their close relationship with industry leader Davis Recycling assures that they will have a near inexhaustible feedstock supply. They’re already planning for three additional modules at the site. Capex will be lower than the initial module and costs will also be less as economies of scale kick in. The process is being continually refined and recoveries are expected to increase to well over 90%. Currently 6 people are working at the plant. Once it’s fully operational that number will increase to 15. The company has received a highly positive reception from state and local authorities. Everyone is firmly committed to reducing hazardous materials that find their way into increasingly scarce landfills. Once the system is in place, it is easily scalable and replicatable. Pendura foresees a global network of plants all churning out consistent profits. The benefits of reducing toxic discharges into landfills will be meaningful; which is why we’re shareholders.

We received an update on Prospera Energy (🇺🇸TRBMF -- 🇨🇦GXRFF) from CEO Samuel David along with some valuable feedback from White Tundra’s Shubham Garg. The recently released resource report shows that Prospera’s reserves grew 50 percent last year. Production held steady during the very cold months of winter at the company’s Alberta and Saskatchewan fields.  CEO David believes that 2023 will be a transformative year and production could double if circumstances go in Prospera’s favor. That would be a near 50-fold increase from when David took over the company In addition, acquisitions are very much on the table and being actively pursued by the company.  The 2023 drill program will get underway in the summer, with 18 wells being drilled. With the increasing reliance on tech to maximize recoveries, strict reservoir management is more important than ever. CEO David’s strategy is to bring new wells on stream gradually and increase output once the scope of the reservoir is fully understood. This patient process will ensure these new wells produce for decades at extremely low decline rates, all while seeing production costs decline and profits increase. Garg summed this up quite well stating, “Prospera is now in the escape velocity out of Earth and once you get into low orbit, it's a lot easier to get into high orbit from there.

Chris Vermeulen of Technical Trader Ltd. believes that the banking crisis is leading to dark times in the financial markets, with banking stocks collapsing and people moving their money into physical metals like gold and silver. He suggests that people invest in physical metals for long-term security, and that gold and silver could skyrocket if the banking system collapses and people lose trust in paper money. Technical Trader Ltd. believes that a stage four decline is coming soon, which could pull precious metals down, but if gold and silver break out of their current resistance levels, they could experience a multi-year rally with huge returns. He recommends having both gold and silver as part of an investment portfolio to maximize potential returns. Important Links: https://thetechnicaltraders.com https://FinancialSurvivalNetwork.com

Dee Carter, an expert in the oil patch, discussed the current state of the oil and gas industry with Kerry Lutz. Oil prices have been fluctuating between $77 and $78 per barrel, and natural gas prices are in the low $2 range. There is a divergence between the two prices, and analysts are worried about the economic outlook and the demand for the summertime. Opec countries are scaling back production in May, which will lead to an undersupply of oil and an increase in prices. There is also a large refinery expansion taking place in Houston, which will help offset the downturn in production. Natural gas prices are low due to a warm winter and more people converting to natural gas. Fracking will still be a major factor in natural gas production, but other methods of extraction are being explored.

The rule takes place on May 1, 2023 and no one knows what the fee will be and how it will be used by the government. It's helping to further unsettle the real estate market.  Real estate markets have changed over the past year, however, the public's perception and belief that they are entitled to a mortgage to purchase a home has not.  Debbie is doing her best to educate the public but feels the message is just not getting through.

If you know where the Consumer is going, you will know where our economy is headed. US Consumer Confidence declined in April from 104 to 101. The survey began on April 3 (about three weeks after the bank failures) The Expectations Index—based on consumers' short-term outlook for income, business, and labor market conditions—fell to 68.1 from 74.0. The Expectations Index has now remained below 80—the level associated with a recession within the next year This type of reading points to Consumers spending less and saving more over the next year. One thing particularly concerning was that this Survey showed deterioration in expectations for consumers under 55 years of age whose households earned over $50,000.  This is the group who tends to spend the most money.   IMO, the Consumer is very fearful right now and is starting to brace themselves for the next phase of this Recession… The last leg (Capitulation) is always the worst! Many are expecting a quick down market followed by a recovery over the course of a few quarters. I personally see a much different story developing.  Rate hikes have already done their damage which I believe will lead to a ROLLING Recession that will play out over years of time. IMO, it would be a major mistake to believe that the Banking Crisis is over… we just finished the first month. The 2008 Crashes of Lehman and Bear to Fannie and Freddie unfolded over a year's time... we've just finished the first month. Ex: Local Regionals are responsible for about 70% of lending to Corporations and Commercial Real Estate.  They have far less capital than then before as fears of default have begun and Treasuries are paying so much more and no FDIC limits.  3 Primary Areas that Retirees need to focus on now. Income Planning: I just got back from the UK and the Taxi drivers are telling me that they are choosing between buying food and paying for utilities.  Personal CPI is critical… many do not have a Budget and therefore do not understand their Spending Plan The strategies that got us here may leave us very short in retirement. BONDS can lose money in 5 different ways… Would be a really bad thing if Defaults or Chapter 11’s began again like they did in highly rated companies like we saw in ‘08 Ex: Buy and Hold had its worst year as both Stocks and Bonds had their worst year next to 2008. Investing: The goal is to Ride Bulls and Tame Bears™ 70-80% of the gain while missing 70-80% of the pain.  We have a MAJOR DEBT PROBLEM in the US which is going to result in massive Tax Increases. The goal is to keep as much as possible. What accounts and What amounts that we need to W/D from? Tax Advantaged Investing?  Real Estate options… still have a Mortgage? Options with Rentals?  Many are not aware that we have 2yrs 8m till the TCJA expires.  Tax Advantaged Planning The point is that the World is Changing and this is not the time to be falling asleep at the wheel.  Connect with David at https://myspg.com

Summary: The secondary market for mortgages is gaining a lot of attention, and Abby Shemesh, the Co-Founder and Chief Acquisitions Officer of Amerinote Xchange, joins us in this episode to discuss note buying and the opportunities in this sector with relevance to the current economy. Abby started his career in originations—the primary mortgage market—and learned about the secondary market as the company he was with started to expand across the East coast. He made the full transition to this market in 2006, founding Amerinote Xchange, and hasn’t looked back since. This market became saturated in 2008 when more people started to discover secondary strategy; today, Abby says that they are now experiencing tremendous activity that they haven’t seen in 14 years. They expect to see increased owner financing—accounting for the lag from the time that interest rates go up—and predict that a lot of the notes created in 2023 will hit the market around this time next year.

Summary: There are a lot of different ways to invest in real estate, and previous guests on FSN have elaborated upon the storage industry as it becomes more prominent. Travis Baucom appears in this episode to talk about his experience within storage, and it started a few years back when he decided he wanted to increase his wealth and invest in something less risky and less involved. After years of buying foreclosures and flipping hundreds of properties, he was ready for a different niche within real estate: storage facilities. After doing some research, it quickly became clear that self storage had some of the best cash flow in comparison to other asset classes. Travis and another broker ended up purchasing a facility together, and have been operating a very successful business since then. Travis touches on some of the variables that contribute to cost minimization, as well as the future of self storage business models.

Summary: The CPI report, interest rate hikes and cuts, and the banking crisis are all at the forefront of our attention. With these factors at play and the odds of a recession increasing, what can we expect for the near future of inflation? James Locke comes on the show to talk about this, and emphasizes that the Federal Reserve’s desired soft landing will be hard to come by.

Summary: John Rubino joins us in this episode to unpack the emerging banking crisis, which has become extremely prevalent recently. Last month, Jim Cramer said that Silicon Valley Bank was the pick of the decade, and this week, it ceases to exist. The same is true for Signature Bank, which was the only other bank that went bankrupt this week—making that two failed picks from Jim Cramer in the span of a year. It seems that the banks’ delayed reactions to yield curve inversion have created confusion and misleading outlooks on the economy. The yield curve inversion did not hurt the banks immediately, but we are now at the point of inversion where it does start to hurt the banks. Furthermore, even if a capitulation comes sooner rather than later, we will still see a recession this year—dissolving the illusion that we’ve been living under for so long.

Torq Resources’(🇺🇸TRBMF -- 🇨🇦TORQ) CEO and Chair Shawn Wallace joined us for a sponsor update. Fresh off a C$6.26 financing, the company is flush with cash. A fully funded 15,000 meter drill program focused on their Santa Cecilia Project has commenced. The project has been progressing rapidly. Challenges have arisen, ” … mostly external to the project. In a normal world, which we certainly aren't right now … we could have done it more quickly, but you can't really speed up the science and the process to make good decisions”, CEO Wallace stated. In the face of these challenges, the company’s Chilean team picked up the baton and ran with it. According to Wallace, they are equal to or superior to any talent he’s worked with. While it’s been over a decade since the discovery was made, he observes that, “We have the privilege of following up on historical work that defined 1.5 km of continuous vertical mineralization, starting at surface in an epithermal gold system and then transitioned into copper porphyry mineralization. There are multiple porphyry centers on this project, so this is only the beginning of a significant drill campaign...” The first two drill holes will take place in the Cerro del Medio target, which is centrally located on the project. Torq has strong local community backing. Chile is stable. The Chilean People made their voice heard during the recent referendum. Now it’s a matter of waiting for the drill results, which should prove that Torq is extremely undervalued. Other companies are watching the project closely. With end users around the world stepping up to insure reliable sources of EV metals, Torq’s market position could get very interesting very quickly. Company Website: https://torqresources.com/

Summary: Interest rates continue to go up, and the Fed is promising another 50 basis point hike. How is this affecting the real estate market, and is real estate still the place to be? Here to tackle this topic is Real Estate Investor James Dainard, who sheds light on the ways that the Fed rate hikes have impacted real estate in the Pacific Northwest. Higher interest rates have slowed down the disposition, creating more expenses, and have greatly affected the value of flipped homes—especially in the beginning.

Summary: Is there a financial crash in our future? Michael Markowski has predicted all three major crashes since 2007, and appears in this episode to tell us why we’re on the road to another. He makes a couple of significant predictions: a 69% decline from the peak to the trough for the S&P 500 and a third US Great Depression that will set in by the end of the year. Michael describes some of the ways in which the S&P 500 can go down by a minimum of 45% (which is required for a depression to occur) and that this decline can be anticipated by understanding investor psychology. Secular markets in particular condition investors to be either fearful or greedy, shifting attitudes towards risk. Michael discusses his company, AlphaTack, and their algorithm-backed strategies that introduce investors to hedge funds with the goal of “growing assets against the wind.” He explains how they integrate in-depth research and market data to provide solutions to investors, and names some sectors and allocation targets they’re working with.

Summary: As the Fed prepares to raise interest rates at least 50 points higher, everyone is wondering what lies in store for housing, the economy, and our portfolios. Here to discuss this is Anthony Saccaro, financial expert and founder of Providence Financial & Insurance Services. The plan to continually hike up interest rates is designed to lower inflation to 2% or 3%, but this will inevitably fuel a recession. The length and depth of this recession ultimately depends on how much longer the battle for inflation goes, and low unemployment seems to be keeping inflation high. Tough times ahead imply that it is essential to reconsider investing strategies, and Anthony assures us that we can count on interest and dividends for now.

Russell Stone comes on the show to talk about where these numbers come from and the motivation behind them.A deeper look into each of the economic trends makes it apparent that they are skewed towards optimism and distort the reality the situation. Russell points out that a lot of focus is placed on the sectors that are performing well, while the struggling sectors are somewhat ignored.

Summary: Marco Dondi appeared on the show a year ago to discuss his book, Outgrowing Capitalism, which suggests a re-consideration of the financial system and money allocation for smoother transitions within the global economy.

Summary: Despite news about about mass layoffs and declining job numbers, we still saw a stellar labor report last month. What can we gather from these manipulated statistics? Gordon T. Long joins us in this episode to shed some light on the confusing circumstances—consisting of employment numbers so large that feelings about whether or not the Fed was going to pivot (and how soon) reversed entirely. It’s clear that they’re pushing a false narrative, and despite big goals to lower inflation, we will be lucky to get it down to 4%.

Summary: Is the inflation scare over, or has the true scare yet to come? John Rubino joins me in this episode to discuss numerous factors that allude to the worsening of inflation before anything remotely positive takes place. The economy needs to roll over in order for the Fed to go back to easing; in this case, a good jobs report and housing report promote further tightening. This is bad news all across the board because we’ve already tightened enough to trigger a recession—with the effects are showing in the housing industry, automotive industry, and many other areas.

Summary: Does the government want to solve the inflation problem, or do they need it to stay this way for a bit? Eddy Gifford comes on the show to discuss this topic, and points out the contradictory effects in place. Powell has stated that their primary goal is to fix inflation, but interest rates keep going up. This means that the stock market could roll over and push up the cost of housing—which is one of the primary indicators in the CPI. Interest rates are ultimately defeating ht purpose of what they’re trying to accomplish, and thus, it’s important to protect yourself during this time. Eddy recommends having a proactive investment strategy and paying off debts. In addition, investors should look towards treasuries and annuities to prioritize liquidity in particular.

In addition, we’re seeing merging and acquisition as well as the return to gold amid destruction of the global economic system.

Summary: Will the January effect carry through to February? It looks like the trend has run its course, but Chris Vermeulen comes on the show to talk about what’s in store for the rest of the year—including a possible rebound in the coming months. Growth stocks are performing better with a significant amount of money flowing into them, and we’re seeing what Chris calls a “complacency rally.” There’s been a lot of pressure on gold, silver, and miners as the US dollar starts to rally, and growth stocks are holding up despite fear in the market. Interest rate hikes will continue, but Chris says that we could see everything come full circle by the end of the year.

Summary: Are you looking for a passive investing opportunity with lots of advantages and few risks? If so, you’ll definitely want to tune in to this episode featuring Whitney Elkins-Hutten, the director of investor education at PassiveInvesting.com. Whitney defines passive investing as investing in assets that produce a stabilized monthly/quarterly cash flow and provide diversification to the portfolio. In essence, you’re not trading time for cash flow; you make the investment once and monitor it from there—which is why passive investing is a great opportunity for busier individuals that want to generate another stream of income. Since 2018, Whitney’s team has exited 8 multi-family deals, and their distributions get paid out monthly or quarterly. She explains that are some risks at play—with the potential to lose capital or suspend cash flow—but they have strategies to mitigate this risk and ensure great returns on your investment.

Summary: We’re seeing a lot of trends in the economy with specific regard to employment—as more companies announce mass layoffs, there seems to be a larger factor at play. Eddie Yoon joins me in this episode to talk about the grand shift that is taking place in the professional sphere, fueled by the transition from a knowledge-based economy to a creator-based economy. What this means is that the qualifications that were once absolutely necessary for white collar careers (i.e. college education or higher training/certifications) are becoming less valuable for particular roles; subsequently, some of the roles themselves are now obsolete. We’re seeing a major decrease in roles where one’s responsibilities would entail managing other knowledge workers, which is massively impacting the job market as a whole. Furthermore, Eddie and I discuss other future innovations, such as artificial intelligence, that are already shifting things within the economy and the employment sphere.

We were joined by Trillion Energy’s (TCF 🇨🇦: TRLEF 🇺🇸: Z62 🇩🇪) CEO Arthur Halleran for a sponsor update. First, Art dispelled all concerns of a possible equity raise. He explained that the ongoing drill program well-funded, with materials and consumables for the first 7 wells currently being warehoused at their onshore facility. The company has ample cash on hand, and as additional wells come on-stream, cash flow will only increase. They received a $6.9 million cash call from their partner and another $7 million is expected in March. Art emphasized that he is not looking to dilute his shareholdings any further. To date, Trillion has drilled 4 wells to completion. Two are producing, and the other two are awaiting equipment to finish perforation and production. The equipment has been delayed slightly due to the recent earthquake. Art explains, this is nothing out of the ordinary. When you’re drilling in water, logistics issues always arise. One of these wells is quite prolific, with 73 meters of measured pay. Once production ramps up, Art expects cash flow to double from its present level. He had more good news; SASB reserves are going up substantially. As the company drills more wells and produces ever more gas, reserves are soaring. Trillion’s reserve valuation, a net present value basis, is way higher. And the increase will continue as more wells come on-stream, at least 13 for 2023 and even more for 2024. With more wells, comes more cash flow. At some point, the market will make a startling discovery that Trillion is selling at a huge discount. Once perception equals reality, shareholders like us will see huge returns on their investment. https://TrillionEnergy.com

Summary: Energy prices are heading up, but the CPI isn’t. What’s really happening in the energy sector, and how is it being affected by the economy at large? Dee Carter appears on the show to provide us with some insight, and emphasizes that the real concern exists in the oil/petroleum department. We’re not consuming as much right now because we had a relatively icy winter—causing people to drive less—but ultimately prices will go back up as consumption returns to normal. Although we’ve seen majo advocacy for green energy in the political space, everything that we’re doing is built around the petroleum industry, so it’s not disappearing anytime soon. With five major refineries working at 100% capacity, there is a large supply of oil that has yet to become available for use. Dee suggests that we need to be an exporter of products in order to bring the CPI down once again, and says that it is necessary to reconsider investment strategies for income going forward.

We were joined for a sponsor update by Fury Gold Mines’ CEO Tim Clark and Exploration SVP Bryan Atkinson ( FURY). The good news keeps on coming. 2022’s last three drill holes were recently released. Multiple zones of high-grade gold were drilled at the Hinge Target, including 22.77 g/t Gold over 1.5 meters. So far, they hit gold in 55% of the Hinge drill holes. In addition, they just defined six targets along the Cannard Deformation Zone at Lac Clarkie. CEO Clark was quite pleased with these results. 2022 marked a year of transformation for Fury. Among the highlights were the sale of Homestake Ridge project to Dolly Varden Silver for cash and shares, and the disposition of C$6.8 from a partial sale of their position. Closing of a C$11 million private placement that brought on a Canadian corporate investor and a well-know US institutional investor. Consolidation of the Éléonore South Joint Venture with Newmont, thus facilitating the JV’s drilling. 25% extension of mineralization at West Eau Claire along with multiple stacked zones of gold mineralization at the Hinge Target. Finally, the completion of their Eau Claire 17,700m drill program. And of the course the stock rebounded well off its 2022 low. With all these accomplishments, CEO Clarke avers that Fury is a different company today than it was prior to his taking the helm. 2023 promises to be an even more pivotal year. SVP Atkinson is currently analyzing the data and results and is in the process of setting up the 2023 program, for which the cash is in the bank. With so many choices this is no easy task. He stated that at least part of the program will be directed towards the new Cannard targets. As Clark promised, the news flow has quickened as have the results.

As a lagging indicator, a negative report translates to an economy that is already on its way down—and has been for a while.

Consumer Sentiment Overview: The latest consumer sentiment numbers have been released, and they offer a glimpse into the state of the economy and what to expect in terms of inflation. Consumer sentiment is a measure of how consumers feel about the current and future state of the economy, and it is considered a key indicator of consumer spending and economic growth. The latest numbers show a slight increase in consumer sentiment, indicating that consumers are feeling more confident about the economy and their personal financial situation. This increase in consumer sentiment is a positive sign for the economy, as it suggests that consumers are more likely to spend money, which drives economic growth and job creation. Higher consumer spending can also lead to increased demand for goods and services, which can cause prices to rise. However, the increase in consumer sentiment must be viewed in the context of other economic indicators, such as the rate of inflation. Inflation is a measure of the overall increase in prices for goods and services in an economy, and it can have a significant impact on consumer spending and the overall health of the economy. The latest consumer sentiment numbers suggest that inflation could be a concern in the near future, as higher consumer spending and increased demand for goods and services could drive up prices. This could result in a decrease in consumer spending and a slowdown in economic growth, as consumers become less confident in their personal financial situation. In conclusion, the latest consumer sentiment numbers are a mixed bag, offering both positive and negative indicators for the economy. While the increase in consumer sentiment is a positive sign, it must be viewed in the context of other economic indicators, such as inflation, in order to understand its full impact. As always, it is important to stay informed about the latest economic trends and to make informed decisions about your finances.

Summary: The most recent consumer credit read was announced, and the number is quite interesting. What is going on exactly, and what is the Fed going to do about it? Matthew Johnson, President and CEO of Johnson Wealth and Income Management, comes on the show to discuss this topic and strategies for addressing the credit problem. Consumer debt started to fall off in December of 2022, yielding $7.3 billion. This signaled the start of a cut in spending, wherein consumers are beginning to feel the pinch of high costs and re-evaluate their expenses. Unfortunately, the average consumer is not in a position where their wages can support their buying needs, causing an increase in credit card debt. We should expect at least two more rate hikes before the Fed decides to halt, and it’s crucial to start planning for the challenges that lay ahead.

Peter Schiff joins us in this episode to address the core problems of today’s dysfunctional economy, and things to consider in preparation for the downfall of the dollar.

Summary: Consumer credit appears to be crashing, and the rate of increase on credit card debt is slowing down, which means that there has never been a more opportune time to pay off your credit cards than now. Paul Oster, the CEO of Better Qualified, comes on the show to unpack what’s happening with consumer credit, and why it is sinking at this particular time. Paul describes all of the pressures of the economy that are pushing the consumers under water; with providers raising prices left and right, driving costs up, it’s getting difficult to tread water. Ultimately, we must change our behavior if we want a brighter, debt-less future. These changes can start with small savings, such as eliminating various monthly subscriptions. Paul says that consumers are often surprised to find that they have more money than they think, and have merely been spending it in the wrong places.

Summary: Thought leader Doug Casey joins us in this episode to discuss the endangerment of critical thinking, posing major risks for global politics and the economic future alike. Doug attributes the root of the problem to increased support for organized coercion—a system that only looks attractive when economics and history are excluded from the equation. This lack of background knowledge and reasoning is already giving way to major difficulties (i.e. trade and food supply chain) and we’re subsequently seeing the dissolution of the globalist model. The government’s survival mode tactics may adversely affect the survival of its people, and it’s only a matter of time before this becomes even more clear. Tune in for more insight.

Summary: While we had hoped that the latest job report would provide useful figures, it seems to be bogus. Brad Williams sits down with me to take a deeper look into the report and talk about how/why the employment situation has evolved in the way that it has. The job market remains strong in some locations due to large quantities of people moving to those places, but this is not the situation in every region. With the interest rate rise, the housing market has slowed significantly, and there is a direct relationship between increases in interest rates and the amount of money needed to service the national debt. As the rate of increases diminishes, Brad advises investing conservatively, and to pay close attention as we transition.

Summary: In last week’s report, the job numbers came out surprisingly high, but is it too good to be true? David Stryzewski comes on the show to discuss these numbers and the way they have been purposefully distorted over the last few months. The high number of jobs is a product of seasonal adjustment—in which 3 million jobs were added in order to come up with the most recent figure. If we look back at November and December, 2.4 million jobs were subtracted to subsequently come up with these numbers. We should not invest our attention in these reports since they do not reflect accuracy; rather, we should anticipate a future that is somewhere between what the Fed thinks and what the market actually believes. David outlines five unwavering indicators that depict what’s to come, so be sure to tune in for more information.  Useful Links: https://www.financialsurvivalnetwork.com https://myspg.com/

Summary: Metals prices are getting slammed, sending gold and silver down. Andy Schectman comes on the show to talk about the circumstances of precious metals which, while frustrating, do not discredit the value of these assets during this time. Volatile conditions and the possibility of the London Metals Exchange running out of silver in 2023 speak to the fragility of the system. Gold and silver are not commodities; rather, they are the barometer for the health of the dollar and the US economy. Furthermore, Andy emphasizes that the valuation of gold and silver are not subject to counterpart liability, which will make the precious metals even more attractive as the effects of interest rate hikes sink in.

FPX Nickel’s (OTC: FPOCF — TSX-V: FPX) CEO Martin Turenne joined us for a much-awaited sponsor update. The Baptiste Project pilot plant’s results are in, and they are quite positive. The novel environmentally clean process of extracting nickel from lower grade deposits, without toxic smelting, has exceeded all expectations. The end product yielded a 65% nickel concentrate, with an impressive 85+% recovery rate. Martin is confident that a commercial-scale plant will produce 100 million pounds per annum. With nickel at $13 per pound, and costs of $3 per pound, there’s a huge profit margin. Even at $10 nickel the profits are enormous.The naysayers who doubted FPX’s ability to profitably produce high-grade nickel from low grade deposits have all been proven wrong. FPX recently announced a $12 million investment by a corporate strategic investor means that the pieces are falling into place. (The well-known company requested confidentiality for now.) FPX’s current stock price of CAD$.43 means that the market hasn’t yet to factor in these important developments. The company’s Preliminary Feasibility Study (PFS) is expected in September. FPX is sitting on CAD$18 million and is fully funded for the foreseeable future. The Van Project discovery promises to be larger than Baptiste but is currently on the back burner. It is also not reflected in the share price. Both are among the largest undeveloped nickel deposits in the world. The nickel market’s demand characteristics are highly positive. The rushed conversion to Electric Vehicles, coupled with a lack of environmentally friendly sources, means that FPX’s project will come into production at exactly the right time. Upstream users such as Tesla, Ford and GM have been rushing to secure battery metals sources and gone directly to the producers. GM’s recent $650 million investment in Lithium America is but one example. The US Inflation Recovery Act (IRA) is adding even more fuel to the fire. Its generous subsidies and favorable pro-development policies are highly positive for both the Canadian battery metals and FPX. Martin is moving quickly to secure these benefits for FPX. The stars are aligning for FPX. Martin is quite clear that these projects will require a major company to take over to fully exploit these reserves. News flow has been brisk and will increase in anticipation of FPX’s PFS. This bodes well for shareholders and the end users who are anxious to work with companies such as FPX.

Tier One Silver’s (TSXV: TSLV, OTCQB: TSLVF) CEO Peter Dembicki and Exploration SVP Christian Rios provided us with a sponsor update. Extensive CSAMT surveying has identified two promising copper porphyry targets. Drill targets are currently being defined. This will be a focus of their Q2 ’23 5000-meter drill program. CEO Dembicki explains that “While silver remains the focus at Curibaya, we have a fantastic potential porphyry target … that can’t be ignored. We’re on a prolific copper porphyry belt in Southern Peru with many giant mines, all within 100 kilometers of us to the north and south. We just happen to be in a fortunate situation where we have a preserved precious metals epithermal system and then residing below is this potential copper porphyry target.” SVP Rios said, “We believe the targets we’ve identified could be associated with a porphyry copper system at depth, particularly considering the absolute dating results, which indicate the mineralization to be from the Paleocene era. This provides further evidence that we are in the correct regional environment as the similar Paleocene-aged giant porphyry copper deposits nearby. We look forward to testing these strong targets in our next drill campaign.” CEO Dembicki reflected that while metals’ prices have come roaring back ($24 silver and $4 copper) and Tier One’s share price is up 50%, it’s still very early in the cycle and he’s expecting a major move ahead. Once the next drill program commences, Tier One will become the tier one choice for sector investors, which is why we’re maintaining our position.

Summary: We have a big week ahead—with the potential for lots of turmoil—and John Rubino joins us in this episode to discuss what we can expect out of it. Three big central banks are having meetings this week and are supposed to raise interest rates. This implies the potential for surprise, and to induce one of two outcomes: sending the markets into a relief rally or sending stocks crashing. With uncertainty of what the outcome of these meetings will bring, there has undoubtedly been a shrinkage of trust amongst individuals. People are growing hesitant to trust larger systems, seeking out ways to attain food, education, and healthcare not mandated by the government and large corporations. With money being one of the largest systems of all, many are investigating alternatives to help secure their capital in the event that the system fails us. Tune in for more insight.

Summary: If you’re looking for an investment with huge returns, you’re going to want to listen to this episode. Self Storage Syndicated Equities CEO, Fernando Angelucci, comes on the show to talk about investing in storage facilities—a venture he has been profiting from since 2018. Fernando had been in real estate for many years, and about six years ago he noticed difficulties surfacing for landlords. In search of change, he decided to move single family homes and multi family properties out of his portfolio and start purchasing self storage facilities. Fernando slowly scaled up from there, and now builds facilities that are between 80,000 and 120,000 square feet. With the number of people using storage facilities increasing year over year, it’s the perfect time to look into this investment opportunity. Tune in for more information.

Summary: The markets are on a bounce, and yet, layoffs are more plentiful than ever. This is not the beginning of a bull market or an upward shift in economic growth; rather, inflation is disguising the inevitable recession ahead. Here to dispel the confusion and discuss what’s truly happening is Michael Pento, President and Founder of Pinto Portfolio Strategies. Michael emphasizes that real economic growth is shrinking while GDP is going up. While the Bureau of Labor Statistics came out with a better-than-expected number of unemployed individuals, this provides little hope amidst the large-scale layoffs at big corporations. Moreover, the death of inflation has been grossly exaggerated, with the monetization of debt being the root cause of our inflationary circumstance. We still have a long way to go before the Fed pivots, and it’s essential to be on the right side of the cycle for what’s to come. Tune in for more insight.

Summary: Businesses are pushing for their employees to return to the workplace, which has generated a lot of push back amongst workers in numerous fields. Here to discuss this is Carl Gould, who is not surprised at the collective reluctance to go back to the office. For the last two years, people have adjusted to the ‘new normal,’ and the thought of transitioning back can be daunting. Under certain roles and circumstances, some professionals have thrived in the remote atmosphere, but the truth is that company culture is difficult to foster when employees are isolated in their homes. Amidst these difficulties, Carl is hopeful that we will come out of this stronger and better than before, and encourages employers/employees to be transparent with one another about their concerns.

Summary: Alongside the attempt to digitize everything in sight, a similar trend is taking place in the global economy: financialization. Here to discuss this is Emmanuel Daniel, a global thought leader in the future of finance. He describes the latest instances of data commodification as just one example of businesses seeking to financialize everything, and these trends are becoming extremely prevalent. Moreover, as people begin to gravitate towards alternative assets, it’s crucial to bear in mind that they subscribe to the same rules of the market and can be more volatile in early stages. Looking ahead, the US and other major economies will continue to generate debt, causing investors to question long term sustainability and where to put their trust.

Summary: Most working individuals want to retire at some point. In fact, we spend the entirety of our careers contributing to (most likely) the most expensive purchase that we’ll ever make: a retirement fund. How does one make sure that they set aside the right amount of money for retirement, generating enough income to survive off of during the final phase of life? Anthony Saccaro has been a retirement advisor for 23 years, and appears in this episode to talk about what you may not know about preparing for retirement—so that you don’t get hurt later on. He contends that the biggest mistake you can make is not being invested appropriately for the phase of life you’re in. A lot of people neglect to shift their portfolio when they transition phases, and this adjustment can have a massive affect on your retirement fund. Furthermore, it’s important to enlist the help of an advisor that is an income specialist, and to build a fund that is sustainable in any scenario.

Summary: Changes in the economy bring about subsequent changes in the housing market, which have been more prominent than ever in the post-pandemic world. Is it possible that we’ve seen the lows and housing is making a comeback? Texas-based mortgage broker Debbie Bloyd comes on the show to talk about what she is observing in real estate, and it looks as if people are returning to the markets in search of their future home. Interest rate fluctuations and intense bidding wars last year caused many people to put their home purchase on hold, and rent rather than buy. As these leases come to an end, buyers are circling back to the housing market in hopes of finding the property they want at a more reasonable price. Whether or not prices are coming down, however, is still relatively dependent upon the seller. While some need to sell more urgently, others are riding out the storm, set on a very specific price.

Adam attributes the success of the fund to his somewhat aberrant strategy: focusing on businesses that put profit over politics.

Is the Fed going to follow through on lowering inflation, and how will this affect the rest of the economy? Jim Welsh comes on the show to talk about some of the things that will take place this year, and assures us that the Fed is very intent on sticking to their guns—meaning that we can expect inflation to make its way down to 3%. Although Wall Street is skeptical, Jim reminds us that getting inflation to 3% is doable; on the other hand, taking inflation below 3% will be the tricky endeavor. Jim, among a number of experts, expects that we will see a recession this year and that the effort of globalization will unwind.

Summary: We’re already in the second half of January, and many are wondering what’s in store for crypto this year. Are we going to see more decentralized finance, or is the system going to reclaim its power? Here to discuss this is former Bloomberg reporter, Matt Leising, who discusses some of the implications of currency decentralization—the most impactful one being that the middle man is eliminated. Matt explains why this is such a game changer, and how smart contracts speed up the transaction process; additionally, crypto helps to eliminate Western Union fees and allows for the seamless transport of money to/from places with fewer banks. Matt emphasizes that crypto is not an attempt to replace the current monetary system, but that it offers a viable alternative for those wanting to protect their capital against inflation and unforeseen obstacles in the economy.

We sat down with, sponsor Regenx Tech's (TSX-V: RGX - OTCQB: RGXTF) CEO Greg Pendura and their US division's President Rick Purdy. The company is engaged in economically recovering large amounts of platinum and palladium from discarded diesel catalytic converters, most of which were headed for the landfill. They have first mover advantage. Purdy's commitment to the company led him and his family's move to the US. Impressed with the technology, we invested in shares. Last summer we visited the company's newly perfected pilot plant, while it was planning an industrial scale facility. Regenx's oversubscribed rights offering enabled it to begin building its Tennessee plant. The situs was no accident; it's located in close proximity to one of the Southeast's leading recycling companies, thereby insuring a near endless supply of discarded diesel converters. Regenx has a huge advantage over potential competitors, who would need to build a raw material supply chain from scratch. Regenx's proprietary process is an example of a green technology that is ready for primetime. In an eco-friendly manner, It recovers 90+% of platinum/palladium embedded in a diesel catalytic converter. Before Regenx, the choice was to smelt the metal out in a very dirty and uneconomical process. As a result over 2/3 of diesel catalytic converters presently find their way to landfills. That's all about to change, with plant completion expected in Q1, production is slated for Q2 of 2023. The cash flow potential is enormous as is the scalability. We could eventually see Regenx plants pop up around the globe. Company Website: www.Regenx.Tech Ticker Symbols: TSX-V: RGX - OTCQB: RGXTF

Summary: To kick off the new year, John Rubino and I sit down and chat about expectations for 2023—specifically in regard to the state of the economy. One of the Fed branches announced that we are in a recession, which is a fair assessment given all of the recessionary indicators that can be observed. We’ve been seeing slowed growth for quite some time now, and should expect to see even more of decline going forward. The Fed is ultimately going to have to keep tightening until something (in this case, large cap stocks) breaks, and they will eventually be forced to ease again.
