Rick’s an acknowledged tech investing expert. I’ve watched him correctly call the market’s short term direction over and over again using his Hidden Pivot System. Even in these uncertain markets, Rick always seems to come out ahead. Right now he likes corporate bonds and stocks of companies that deal in life’s essentials, like food and supermarkets. And of course you need to have 10-15 percent of your wealth in gold and silver and just keep it there as an insurance policy against economic collapse and governmental blunders-of which there’s never a shortage of. And for your risk capital, invest in emerging companies that you understand. Look for companies that treat their customers right and are in it for the long haul. 
Chris Duane was in the People’s Cesspit, otherwise known as Washington, DC. He had the honor of meeting Dr. Ron Paul and discussing monetary policy and sound money with the good Doctor, who’s been a 40 year proponent of it. And while Dr. Paul’s is on his way towards a much deserved retirement, he has many followers who are only two happy to pick up the cause and fight for giving the people control over their money. Short of a revolution in how we define and treat money, the global economy will continue its death spiral for many years to come. And there’s nothing the Ben Barnank and all of his cronies can do to save the system. It’s broken beyond repair. So get ready. The mathematical facts will soon assert themselves with a vengeance.
David Morgan joined us again, after last week’s interview from the road. It’s amazing what a brief vacation can do for the mind, body and soul. David’s back and he’s seeing renewed strength in the metals markets. The ability of silver to consistently stay above the $26 level and now above the $28, level is an indicator of underlying strength. And the same with gold. While both metals appeared ready to go parabolic last summer, they both wound up in one year corrections. And like all corrections, these too will end and the long term trend will assert itself. And for those of you who haven’t been watching, that trend is up, up and away. But always remember that the tree does not grow to the sky and that once the excess debt and speculation has been wrung out of the system and the public and financial sectors of the economy have been drastically scaled back, then other more favorable investments may start to appear. But until that time, the metals are probably the place to be.
Diana Zoppa and I got together for our weekly show. We talked a lot about these uncertain and somewhat scary times. It’s amazing how a little thing like losing all your wealth can make you very spiritual. And Diana’s 12 and 13 year old nieces are visiting her this week. Unlike many kids of that age, they actually seem to be concerned about the global economy and sound money. How did that ever happen? Perhaps it’s because Diana’s father has been giving them silver coins too. They’ve been learning about silver since the time they were in diapers. I guess the moral of the story is that if you want your kids to understand what real honest money is all about, you should start getting the real thing into their hands as soon as possible. There’s lots more in our conversation. Diana’s got an incredible conference coming up in October in Vancouver, which you can find out more about at Seedevent.org. Lots of incredible speakers and some great info on how to survive and thrive in the New Economy.
Victor Sperandeo is a master trader who’s affectionately referred to as Trader Vic. He’s run up spectacular gains on the Street and he’s been warning about the potential for hyperinflation for over a year. He’s done the research on every great hyperinflation in history and sees no way for the US to escape, unless it massively reforms its fiscal and monetary systems. And he sees very little chance of that happening, without forced discipline of a major meltdown. Like we’ve said many times on FSN, with the exception of Dr. Ron Paul, there’s not a politician alive who has the stones to take on the financial elite. And unfortunately, one man, no matter how honest and intelligent cannot change a nation over night. Vic says to diversify your holdings, if you have any left. But one thing is certain, gold and silver are the backbone of any portfolio whose goal is to protect your remaining wealth.
Martin Armstrong the legendary cycle investor shared his thoughts on where the world economy is heading, and it ain’t pretty. The good news is that he doesn’t believe that hyperinflation is possible within the US. The bad news is that the current system is spinning out of control and there’s no one watching the store, especially when it comes to the real money supply. Banks and financial institutions use the ever increasing supply of sovereign debt to further inflate the supply of money. And it all comes back to the US, where it faithfully earns interest and further depletes the supply of real wealth. Unfortunately, there’s no solution that any politician who’s concerned about re-election is willing to embrace. So that means that the final collapse is just a not so Black Swan away. It’s either that or another Bretton Woods type conference where world economic leaders meet and cobble together a new monetary system. Martin’s interviews are always compelling and thought provoking and this one is no different.
Greg Hunter built his career working various mainstream media outlets. He was at CNN when he noticed that once reputable news groups were no longer interested in covering the real news. Whether it was the popping of the real estate bubble, the economic collapse, or Sherrif Joe Arpao’s investigation into Obama’s birth certificate, the media now refuses to cover stories that don’t support its view of the world. But fortunately the internet has enabled curious minded people to tap an unlimited number of sources to uncover the truth. And this is the key to surviving and thriving in the new economy. All the institutions that you once put your faith and trust in, are no longer worthy of either. But you have a choice, go for what’s real and what has lasting value. More and more people are doing it and so it’s no wonder that the mainstream media becomes less relevant by the day.
Charles Biderman is one of the savviest investors we’ve come across in a very long time. He’s long gold and inflation protected securities as well as being short a number of sectors that he believes will be the next crash victims. We asked him frankly if there was a market in the world that was not rigged and was functioning as it was intended. His answer was an unhesitating and resounding NO! The unabated flow of free money given out to the favored Too Big To Fails and other financial institutions has completely corrupted the financial system. It’s no longer a place where capital gets allocated and growing businesses get needed financing. Which is why companies use the free money to buy back their stock instead of expansion. And until the government lets it all fail, nothing can change.

Dr. Yaron Brook, head of the Ayn Rand Institute joined us for a discussion about the upcoming presidential election and his new book, Free Market Revolution: How Ayn Rand’s Ideas Can End Big Government. It’s shocking to think that the United States achieved its greatness, largely through the operation of free market economics and that now we must all hope for a Free Market Revolution. The Founders would not believe the state of the country they founded upon the unique principals of limited government and individual sovereignty. But these concepts are finding new audiences and they are resonating with college students who’ve acquired six figure debts with very poor career prospects to show for it.
Joel Stern studied under Milton Friedman and knows a lot about how the world’s economy got where it is today. He’s worked with countries, companies, and has been teaching students about the virtues of the free market and its ability to lift the human race’s level of prosperity and contentment. The Rule of Law is the cornerstone of economic and individual freedom for decades. In the US today, the Rule is eroding and this poses a threat to everyone’s liberty and their pursuit of happiness. Hopefully with people like Professor Stern fighting the fight, and others joining daily, freedom will advance around the world as well as in its birth place, the United States.
Ranting Andy was recently interviewed in the TheDailyBell.com, one of the top libertarian freedom thinking sites in the world. They’re out of Switzerland and they’ve interviewed hundreds of the top freedom lovers around the world, including yours truly. But Andy’s interview set new standards for his of the economic free fall that the elites have been trying to cover up for years. Andy believes that these elites can’t control much of anything anymore, besides interest rates and the money system, and that their ability to do even these tasks is rapidly diminishing. But the final chapter has yet to be written, so we’ll just have to see how it all works out.
Perhaps you’re unaware, but the unravelling of Europe continues at an epic pace. One half of Europe would like to live at the expense of the other half. And the people paying the bills are quickly getting fed up with the moochers. How much long will Finland put up with it, let alone Germany and the other producing nations that feel like total patsies? Thid is the important question. Usually, as Bob Hoye explained, major collapses take place in the Fall. No one has the appetite to address tragedy in the summer. The Europeans have extended vacations planned and besides, the deposits have already been paid. So what’s a few more months, when your vacation is hanging in the balance?
George Matheis is our go to guy for all matters concerning preparation and self-defense. George has gotten extensive training in these areas and has been teaching law enforcement professionals for many years. Therefore, when he explains how to avoid becoming a target, we all should listen. First, when going out to public events, always map an escape route. This will help you in the event of fires and other emergencies. If you know how to escape, you’re odds of survival go way up. Also, situational awareness is key. Know your surroundings and be aware of potential threats and dangers. And in the event of injury, to yourself or others, some basic first aid can go along way until the paramedics can reach you.
The latest Flash Crash Blast. A lot of stocks got slammed and then came back resoundingly. It happened to big stocks and small stocks alike. Knight, the market maker responsible for it could be facing insolvency as a result. If things are going to wrong, they will go wrong in the fall. The corporate bond market has been rallying like crazy but appears to be getting close to its high. It looks like its time to start lightening up on them and perhaps treasuries as well. It made an Eiffel Tower pattern with a clear downside pattern ahead. The same is likely to happen with the emerging market bonds. People have been chasing yield and looking for it in all the wrong places. Interestlingly commodities may also take a hit. They’ve risen in large measure due to the Midwest drought. There could be trouble this fall. The last 5 crashes going back hundreds of years have always occurred in the autumn. Will this crash be different than the rest?

The Mercenary Geologist and I got together for our monthly review of the markets. There was lots of action, but what a difference a day makes. But the important issues of the day far eclipsed the market wrap-up. The Fed basically said nothing, other than they are very concerned about the poor state of the economy and will do what needs to be done, can anyone say money printing? Oh and by the way, the US Postal Service is broke, insolvent and bankrupt. They’re going to miss a $5.5 billion payment towards retiree health benefits that they would like to do away with anyway. There was another major flash crash that took place at major market maker Knights operation. But never fear, the SEC is on the case and heads are not gonna roll.
Casey Research’s Ed Steer joined us for a look at the stunningly blatant manipulation that took place today in the gold and silver markets. The moment Ed hit his send key on today’s gold and silver report, he knew what was going to happen. And as usual, he was not at all disappointed. Ed says that the biggest problem for investors today, is that they have to overcome market psychology and buy the precious metals in a falling market. Very few people have the stomach and the nerve do this. But as a recent guest said, “You’re either a contrarian or you’re a victim.” The choice is yours.
Ed Caccia live in the studio. He’s a big fan of the Financial Survival Network and he’s getting angrier and angrier at Mayor Nanny Mike Bloomberg’s ever more tyrannical and fanatical efforts to dictate every aspect of your life, from how your children get their nutrition, to how many sodas you consume to whether or not you have the right to keep and bear arms as embodied in the Second Amendment. In times of crisis the government is like your un-wanted, un-loved brother-in-law (FBI). He wants to move into your house, live at your expense and then complain that the house isn’t clean and that your wife is a lousy cook. How dare these people! Who do they think they are? Whatever happened to the notion of personal responsibility. Ed and I share a special bond as fellow New Yorkers and Westchesterites. We’re both fed up and the ultimate move out of the People’s Republic of New York gets ever closer.
