David Morgan‘s weekly perspective for January 18th, 2018…

Today’s monetary system is based upon a lie. The lie is that you can get something for nothing, or perhaps more simply stated, wealth can be printed. History has shown throughout 5000 years that whenever a country has tried to maintain this illusion (lie), failure has been the result. You Can Continue To Grow Your Wealth Regardless Of The Changing Winds Of Politics, The Economy And The Financial Markets. Let me show you how…

John Rubino says that we’re in the everything bubble, so enjoy the ride! It feels new to the newbies but for the rest of us it’s the same old, same old. We should have learned our lesson already, but we haven’t. Younger generations come around and have no sense of history or bubbles. It’s interesting and fun and frustrating.

Dr. Clifford Gross, Ph.D., MBA is leading up a team to develop AR (Augmented Reality) glasses available to all. Unlike the Google Glasses released several years ago, these spectacles will greatly enhance a user’s visual experience and ability to interact. And they look pretty darned good too. A number of links to crypto-tokens will make the experience a commercial success as well. The company Lucyd has a large patent portfolio combined with a number of PHD’s working non-stop to make it happen.

While attending the North American Bitcoin Conference, we learned that for every developer there are 14 job openings. No wonder a newly minted Blockchain programmer is pulling down a cool $160k per annum. That’s why Jason King jumped in with both feet. He’s seeking to massively grow the number of qualified developers. And best of all, student loans are plentiful. This is actually an area where student loans make great economic sense. And veterans are ideally situated to take advantage of the opportunity. Expect a mass influx into the space.

Money & Work Unchained, started when Charles Hugh Smith asked himself: “When we dream of the future of our society, are we hoping for the right things?” The current conventional-wisdom view of our soon-to-be future is rose-tinted: automation will free millions of people from the drudgery of work, then by taxing the robots doing all the work, we can pay everyone Universal Basic Income (UBI), enabling a life of leisure and artistic pursuit for all. The result: A future of Universal Happiness. But is this accurate? Is this what UBI is actually capable of doing? More importantly, is this what we want? And even more importantly: will this “future” be our best future? Will it account for and manage the practicalities of work, money and automation, given the limits of endless growth on a finite planet? Money and Work Unchained drags the now-popular concept of Universal Basic Income (UBI) from the shadows of Pundit blather into a harsh, illuminating light, and in doing so presents an entirely new view of the future that upends our conventional, foundational, understanding of work and money. This book lays out a practical pathway that realigns work, money and human fulfillment into a sustainable system that sheds the inequalities and injustices of the status quo in favor of a human-scale way of living. And – it gives us a future to truly hope for.

Gerald Celente of The Trends Journal believes that the US has a major problem. The middle class is continuing its descent into oblivion. The big corporations don’t care and are accelerating the trend through their unabashed greed. Gerald doesn’t see an upside due in large part to the dumbing down of America. Until people are no longer willing to tolerate the situation, it will continue unabated.

Sprott Global’s Rick Rule joined us today and had some huge news. The wizards of Sprott have been working overtime to bring us a gold-backed/convertible crypto currency. Imagine taking your token and exchanging it for gold! The physical gold will be stored by the Royal Mint of Canada. As Rick likes to say, “Imagine your gold being protected by NATO.” There’s going to be a tremendous add-on market for ancillary services once the currency is widely excepted and distributed. And perhaps the reason for precious metal ETF’s will diminish or even disappear. And to think it’s all going to start within a week to 10 days. Now that’s change you can believe in!

Danielle Park says that it’s no secret that stock markets are at already unsustainable levels and getting more so every day. This has led otherwise intelligent people to question whether standard security valuation tools are still relevant. When prices are rapidly increasing it’s easy to believe that valuations don’t matter. However, at such time when the market inevitably corrects, Danielle’s belief (and mine too) is that valuations really do matter and in fact one many so-called investors are going to realize it as well.

James Hirsen highlights Hollywood’s sexual abuse problems in his recent column. James Franco has become the latest target of allegations from no fewer than five women. Worst of all he’s in contention for an Oscar after receiving a Golden Globe Award. How will they handle it? It’s a real dilemma for them. Add to that declining movie ticket sales and the implosion of the Brand after the Harvey Weinstein eruption and they’ve got a major mess on their hands. And according to James, Oprah has got a lot of issues of her own, so don’t expect to see her on the presidential debate stage anytime soon.

David Morgan, one of the thought leaders in our community, joined us for a look ahead at 2018 for precious metals. David’s got a company that pulls precious metals out of scrap and is poised to cash in. There’s more gold in a ton of scrap iPhones than you find in many mines. 2017 showed strength in gold, not so much in silver. David wouldn’t be surprised to see a high of $21 or more for silver in 2018. Peak years coming in 2020. Palladium was a major hit for the year going up 55%. Copper was up 30 percent and other base metals went even higher. And we’re probably just getting started in the next upswing.

According to John Rubino, somewhere out there is an event or major trend change that will take gold from 1300 to 10000. Then the COT (commitment of traders report) won’t matter. You don’t want to go all in on a minor technical move that causes you to miss the big move. If you miss it you’ll feel stupid for the rest of your life. That’s why it’s so important to retain your physical holdings as an insurance policy for the inevitable move.

Daniel Greenfield returns… During the election in 2015 Hillary Clinton wanted some insurance and so did Peter Strzok. The senior FBI figure, who had participated in the Hillary e-mail investigation, interviewed Flynn and had been part of Team Mueller, wasn’t looking to State Farm for his insurance needs. Chatting with his mistress, an FBI lawyer who worked for Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe, Strzok worried that Trump might win. “I want to believe the path you threw out for consideration in Andy’s office – that there’s no way [Trump] gets elected – but I’m afraid we can’t take that risk,” he wrote. “It’s like an insurance policy in the unlikely event you die before you’re 40.” And thus the scheme was hatched. It went on after the election and its purpose was to undermine President Trump’s presidency.

Howard Davidowitz says that the economy is starting to blaze. Christmas retail sales were way up, but that increase came from online, not same stores. Home oriented retailers and value based retailers are expanding rapidly. Discounters are crushing it. But there’s a residue of many employees who will be phased out by automation. And 10’s of thousands of stores that will be shuttered. The industry restructuring will proceed ahead for the next decade. We’ll be left with just a portion of the labor market left in retailing. Retraining will only go so far. This is just the beginning. Household names will disappear. There will be a mass redeployment away from retailing and into more profitable and productive sectors of the economy.

Successful podcasting requires a number of values and skills. The biggest investment you will make is your time, assuming that you really want to make a go of this. Your time is your most valuable commodity. We all have limited amounts and therefore any time we undertake a project, we are making the ultimate investment. But your time alone is not enough. Spend a few hundred dollars and get decent equipment. A mixer, a quality microphone, a microphone boom arm and shock absorber at a minimum. Invest in your work space. Make sure you have a very comfortable chair, adequate work area and a pleasant environment that will help you give the best you have. These resources won’t make you a success, there are other factors involved. Rather, they will help you to become the best you can, which is what successful podcasting is all about.

To Gordon T. Long it’s a simple matter, things are changing quickly and there’s a New New World Order emerging. With the rapid takeover of previously human based industry by artificial intelligence and robotics, how many of today’s workers will be needed in the future? Where will the new jobs come from? These are issues that every government will have to deal with in the coming years. Change is coming quickly and the world will have to adapt, but how?

Al Caicedo is urging caution in investing for the year ahead. We just came off an incredible year with the DOW gaining 25%. 2018 could be a more challenging environment. Will the tax cut achieve its desired ends? Will there be currency and trade issues that work against our economy? There’s a lot of unknowns that could cause substantial losses so it might not be a bad idea to take some profits now.

Nick Santiago has had a remarkable 11 year run. He called the peak of the stock market in October 11, 2007, to the day. He wasn’t quite so prescient on calling the start of the current bull market, he was five days off. But as Yogi Berra said, prediction is very difficult, especially when you’re dealing with the future. Nick’s had an amazing run and some of his calls for the coming year might surprise you. But he believes the next crash is still a ways off, so you can rest easy–at least for now.

Three reasons why Gold will go up.

1) Gold should have gone down in 2017.
2) The everything bubble is coming to an end.
3) The technical picture shows gold coiling for a big breakout!

Soaring stock markets, with all major US markets making numerous new highs throughout the year…

Chris Vermeulen is at heart a cycle guy. He sees a rally coming in the US Dollar for the next couple of months, along with a pause in precious metals. He believes that the second half will be the time that gold, etc., breaks out. Volatility is increasing in equities and commodities. Bigger up days and bigger down days until the momentum reverses in the various markets. We’re coming to an end in the stock bull market, but they’re still extremely strong. Stocks could have reversed in 2016, however, Trump literally saved the market from a major decline. Trumphoria is still alive and well. There’s just no fear in the market. Such stages could extend much further than anyone believes possible. Chris believes the Utility Sector is oversold and out of favor right now. They could be a very good buy.

Trevor Loudon says that if Hillary Clinton was elected there would be no freedom movement in Iran. While right now it appears that the movement has taken a rest, Trevor believes that it will be back before long, in spades. Trump has emboldened freedom warriors around the globe. Perhaps Venezuela and Cuba will be next. We can only hope!

Everything is going wrong in California. The once Golden State is now the Leaden State. It’s a sanctuary state that welcomes aspiring gang members from all over the world. They love illegal aliens and can’t get enough of them to help come in and loot the state. Add to that unfavorable business laws, crazy workers comp and some of the highest taxes on the books.

With SCOTUS resuming session and the focus on Gorsuch, you may be interested to know that veteran biographer John Greenya has just released a new biography — Gorsuch: The Judge Who Speaks for Himself —the first-ever biography about Justice Neil Gorsuch, a man who remains a mystery to Democrats and Republicans alike.

Greenya knew Gorsuch’s mother and in GORSUCH, he supplies a comprehensive and fascinating examination of the youngest judge to be nominated to the Supreme Court in twenty-five years, answering questions like:

· How does Gorsuch compare to his legendary predecessor, Justice Antonin Scalia?
· What are some unique characteristics or ideologies Gorsuch brings to the bench?
· What can we likely expect from Gorsuch in the years to come?
· Why did President Donald Trump choose Neil Gorsuch over all others considered?

According to John Rubino we are in uncharted territory so far as the stock markets’ valuations are concerned anyway. We’ve seen financial assets and real estate go way, way up. Now we are starting to see prices going up in energy and perhaps the rest of the commodity sector. This will invariably lead to higher consumer prices. And perhaps most importantly, interest rates are going up. We thought the yield curve would flatten, but now it seems to be steepening. Mortgage rates are back over 4%, first time in years. Rising rates mean more bank lending. Is this time going to follow the standard script?

in 2017 new oil discoveries hit an all time low. Prices are up over $60 the barrel and they could go a lot higher. Chris believes that there’s just not enough in the pipeline to satisfy world demand. Same with many other things that society demands. There are limits to our ability to produce in many areas. Challenges are ahead and if there’s another crash, all bets are off.

Harlan believes we need to keep hands off in Iran and let things unfold, hopefully for the better. With North Korea there appears to be an opening for diplomacy. The US has to give up the idea that they will abandon their nuclear program and hope for containment. Will it be enough?

John LeBoutillier, as a former congressman, is only too aware of the goings on in swamp. Now, scarcely a day goes by without someone on Capitol Hill being unmasked. You can expect more of the same for the indefinite future, no doubt. Who’s running the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), a governmental entity that should not exist? Well the court has now decided and we’ll have to wait for the appeals, but our money is on Trump’s appointee.
