Triple Lutz Report #256 – Gold Is Dead, Long Live Gold

from Financial Survival Network

You made it through another week, even after the mother of all precious metals raids. Gold finished up around $1408 and silver’s a little over $23. What is going on in the world? Every bit of the real news that you’ve been getting — from Cyprus to China to Europe to the US — should be bullish for gold and silver. Record money printing, loss of faith in banks, declining economic performance the world over; how can this be? Listen on and find out more.

Tom Dyson – The Bitcoin Experiment – Gold Is Cheap

from Financial Survival Network

Tom Dyson of The Palm Beach Letter joined us for an analysis of Bitcoin and the emerging electronic currencies. It’s time to cut the middle man banksters out of our transactions. It will result in greater privacy and less costly goods and services. The Internet is emerging into a payment mechanism. Tom thinks that Gold could be sending out a message about potential deflation in the world’s financial system. No doubt we’ll find out soon. Finally, Tom has started an program called The Wealth Builders Club. This is a very practical strategy to help you build your wealth through additional revenue streams rather than investing. It makes a lot of sense.

Bix Weir – End Game Is Here: Death Of The Dollar Is Around The Corner

from Financial Survival Network

According to Bix Weir we’re coming down to crunch time. The end is nigh and the Too Big To Fails will be failing right and left. Bix believes you need to divorce yourself from it as soon as possible or suffer the consequences. There’s no alternative because the United States owes too much money to ever dream of paying it back. Things will never be the same and the normal that exists today will soon be a thing of the past. While you might not have to become a farmer or hunter-gatherer, the way you obtain your food, as well as pay for it, is going to be completely different. So get ready, it’s coming soon.

Jason Hartman – Real Estate, Gold Or Both?

from Financial Survival Network

Jason Hartman, a Financial Survival Network sponsor, joined us again for another discussion about real estate investing and whether it’s as good as gold or better. Jason sees many aspects of real estate that are superior to gold. The ability to leverage and compound profits at the rate of inflation or better is a major positive in Jason’s book. Also, Jason sees that real estate investing is a time proven way of building wealth in America. He’s not encouraging you to sell your gold, but to simply diversify your holdings. The future is uncertain and no one is sure how things are going to work out. Be prepared.

Andrew Horowitz Interviews Kerry Lutz – A Responsible Politician Is An OxyMoron

from Financial Survival Network

Andrew Horowitz of the TheDisciplinedInvestor.com caught up with me today. We talked about the precious metals slam down, Apple Computer, the real inflation rate and the real economy. I emphatically made the point that precious metals is the ultimate insurance policy against reckless politicians and infinite money printing. While the government is painting rosy economic numbers, food-stamp use is burgeoning and the long term unemployment rate is increasing. So don’t be fooled by the propaganda.

Mike Gearhardt – Will Our Elected Officials Avert Financial Disaster?

from Financial Survival Network

Plain and simple, no! Mike Gearhardt has lost all hope of the government getting its act together. Individuals have cut their spending and implemented budget discipline, while the government has made no such efforts. The United States needs to totally revamp the way it does business and redefine the role of government and the benefits that it can provide. Can the public be educated to understand the severity of the situation and the necessity to change? So far the answer has been no and our politicians have helped perpetrate these lies. The solution is for the people to hold their politicians accountable and force them to act.

Dr. Rosalene Glickman – The Best Companies To Work At Are Optimal Thinkers

from Financial Survival Network

Today we spoke to Dr. Rosalene Glickman. The Fortune list of the 100 best places to work has just been released. Google again is number 1. While some may believe that these companies are overly generous and paternalistic, the results of these companies speak for themselves. Bringing out the best in their employees is part of their mission statement. When employees are happy and fulfilled they produce their best. While there are many theories about why companies succeed and fail, the reality is that the companies that motivate their employees and work as team, produce their best results.

John Rubino – Time To Take Financial Responsibility

from Financial Survival Network

John Rubino says that if you haven’t taken financial responsibility yet, you better do it soon! Even though gold and silver were thoroughly slammed down, buying of the physical products has reached record rates. Normally when there’s a panic investors seeks to dump their investment on the market and take their losses. Not so this time and one has to wonder why. Look for the committment of traders (COT) to tell the story on Friday.

Diana Zoppa – Physical Gold Buying Frenzy Taking Place

from Financial Survival Network

Diana Zoppa is back, and there’s a physical precious metals buying frenzy taking place. Certain products such as 90 percent junk silver are in tight supply. And it is a great time to buy especially if you’ve been waiting 12 years for a major pullback. As Diana reiterated, precious metals are insurance on your money. And you’ve never needed that insruance policy more than now. We also discussed the Liberty MasterMind Symposium and the right way to have a garage sale, get lots of your neighbors to join in. Most importantly we discussed avoiding Political Correctness and why it’s so important to speak your mind.

Adlai Stevenson III – No Debates Means No Political Civility

from Financial Survival Network

Adlai Stevenson III is quite disturbed about the level and quality of civil discourse in America today. He believes the recent gun control debate is just the latest example of how the political system has broken down. Allowing lobbyists to write important laws, allowing money to corrupt the process-both by corporations and unions, has led to a coarsening of American Politics. The public has been badly served by its leaders, especially in recent years. Only by taking money out of politics and forcing all candidates to debate their views and agendas in an unfettered venue, will the system be restored and the country saved.

Carl Jarvis – Why Gun Control Failed In Congress Again

from Financial Survival Network

Carl Jarvis constitutional scholar came on to discuss the latest gun control failure and why it matters. Seems with all the monumental existential issues facing the country, Congress should be more concerned with these issues than having you check a few more boxes on your gun check form. Not so. The latest effort ended in humiliating failure. So for now, your 2nd Amendment rights are safe from the Feds, although they might not be safe from your state legislators, ie, NY, CT, CA and CO. In addition, Carl is very concerned about your diminishing 4th Amendent rights, that protect you from unreasonable search and seizure. The IRS is the latest agency to believe that the 4th Amendment shouldn’t apply to them. He’s not sure where it will all end, but you need to join the fight.

Adam Rabie – Sell Your Gold And Buy Millions In BitCoins?

from Financial Survival Network

Is it time to sell your gold and buy BitCoins? Adam Rabie believes you should own both. He sees electronic virtual currencies as one of the keys to protecting your wealth. They’re still very new and have a number of issues that need to be worked out before they can take their rightful place next to the Dollar and the Euro. However, they are evolving quickly, and with a few tweaks they’ll be ready for mass acceptance. People are extremely concerned about the long term viability of the fiat currencies currently in use. The fact that the supply of BitCoins is fixed at 21 million units means that by definition it cannot be inflated out of existence. As long as people regard it as a medium of exchange and the governments don’t figure out a way to neutralize it, it will survive and prosper.

Barry Stuppler – Bullion Sales Are Booming

from Financial Survival Network

Barry Stuppler took a few moments away from his staggering sales load to update us on the latest precious metals smack down. Barry explains that all of this has been done before. A failing fiat currency always requires the central bank to create the illusion that paper has value and metal is undesirable. Based on Barry’s increased level of bullion sales, the public ain’t buying it. I guess you can only be deceived so much before you wise up and do the only logical thing, which is buy gold and silver with two hands!

Peter Grandich – Scary Times For Precious Metals Investors

from Financial Survival Network

We caught up with our friend Peter Grandich today. He’s as concerned about the recent precious metals smack-down as you are. He questions the volume and price action that caused these extreme price drops and believes that nothing has really changed. He urges you to keep the faith and understand that this event probably portends another worldwide economic crisis. The monetary system is less stable than ever before and the ability of governments and central banks to control events diminishing by the day. That’s why you need precious metals, to insure your wealth during periods of widespread economic uncertainty.

Ross Hansen – The Man Behind The Mint

from Financial Survival Network

Ross Hansen owns the largest private mint in North America, Northwest Territorial Mint. He’s been involved in the precious metals trade for decades. Unlike many, he doesn’t see any conspiracies or nefarious plots slamming down the precious metals prices. Rather, he believes the latest decline was caused by the wholesale exit of hedge funds from the gold/silver markets. This is actually a healthy development for the industry. In addition, he sees no widespread shortages of product. Rather, there are select shortages in certain products, such as 90 percent junk and 1 ounce rounds. Ross owns several silver mines, so he understands the underlying markets.

Jeffrey Christian – Why Gold And Silver Crashed

from Financial Survival Network

CPM Group’s Jeffrey Christian joined us today. He gave his opinion on why the gold and silver markets experienced such a violent crash, losing so much of their value in just two days. Jeff believes that it’s simple supply and demand factors kicked in and that the decline was long overdue. He believes that the metals could shortly bounce back to around $1400, stay in this range for quite a while and eventually reach new nominal highs again by 2020, although he’s not issuing any buy recommendations at this time. While he doesn’t think that the metals were in bubble territory, the smash down has taken out the remaining weak holders and it paves the way for a recovery at some point in the future.

Byron King – Now Is Not The Time To Panic

from Financial Survival Network

That sucking sound you heard yesterday is the sound of gold going from weak hands to strong hands. Byron King believes that your golden insurance policy is still sound. Which means if you’re a small investor, hold on to your metal, don’t get rattled and do not give in to fear. He also thinks that the current decline will help feed a takeover boom, where the major miners take over high quality juniors . This could spell the end of the TSX-V junior miner’s depression as well. Gold is reacting well today, the day after the major crash.

Danielle Park – Cash For Debtors Solves Everything, Doesn’t It?

from Financial Survival Network

Danielle Park of Juggling Dynamite is back again. The banks are at it again, now we’re seeing the 97 month auto loan, guaranteed that your loan will outlive your auto. The Fed and the government seems to believe that as long as there’s another loan available, then everything will be fine. Lending standards for credit cards, auto loans and mortgages have intentionally been decreased and we’re going to suffer the results. Credit will not increase liquidity. This is leading to repatriation of wealth to dollars, even at the expense of gold and silver.

Ranting Andy Hoffman – Financial Suicide Running Rampant

from Financial Survival Network

Gold and silver are still getting slammed. This is leading to vast shortages of 90% junk silver as well as silver rounds and silver eagles. The same thing is going to occur in the gold market shortly as well. Right now Andy Hoffman‘s company is having an even bigger day than on Friday. Premiums are escalating and at some point in the near future, the paper markets will cease to exist. This attack on the precious metals really reeks of desperation, especially in light of the horrible economic statistics coming from everywhere in the world. Andy’s advice is to stay the course and buy no if you don’t own any already.

Arch Crawford – Cycles Are Down. Another Flash Crash?

from Financial Survival Network

We touched base with Arch Crawford today. While we made it through March without a crash, commodities seem to be getting killed now. Gold is making new lows and the stock markets are getting hit as well. Oil has broken its key resistance point. Arch is concerned about chart formations for the rest of April and still believes that May 20 will be a very signficant date. In any event, it appears that something major is happening now and the market action is just an indicator of more important underlying issues ahead.

Michael R. Burns – It’s Never To Late To Save For Retirement

from Financial Survival Network

Today’s guest is Michael R. Burns of The Boomer’s Guides. Bill Fisher was 72 years old and he had a problem. He never saved for his retirement. But he didn’t let his age get in the way. He developed a very simple, yet sophisticated strategy that enabled him to accumulate a portfolio worth over $1 million prior to his passing 18 years later. His tools for building wealth are universal. He kept working into his golden years and at one time was the oldest employee at Southwestern Bell. He invested in high yielding stocks and dividend reinvestment programs and real estate. And it all worked out in the end, just like it can for you.

Ranting Andy Hoffman – Emergency Precious Metals Report: Miles Franklin Has Busiest Day In 24 Years

from Financial Survival Network

Gold plunged $84 an ounce yesterday and Silver was off $1.81. We discussed this event with Ranting Andy Hoffman, whom like your host isn’t terribly concerned. Everything but the Dow Jones Average is pointing to the next phase of the collapse. This slam down was just a panic reaction by the financial elites and probably the government too. This is explains why Myles Franklin had its busiest day in 24 years of doing business. Andy’s advice is keep on buying. He is.

Triple Lutz Report #256 – Fear And Loathing In The Precious Metals Markets

from Financial Survival Network

Gold plunged $84 an ounce yesterday. Silver skidded $1.81. This has a lot of die hard precious metals holders reaching for the garbage pail. However, if you need reassuring, look at the fundamentals. First, there is no recovery! It’s quite obvious. Foodstamps, medicare, medicaid, disability and social security payments are all escalating. Throw in a dash of Obamacare, and the bankruptcy of the US and the Western World continues on unabated. What do you trust more, your bank account or the gold in your pocket? Because that is the real choice, and no matter how the elite tries to manipulate your perception of reality, there is no safer place to put your money.

Mickey Fulp – Precious Metals Panic Report

from Financial Survival Network

Mickey Fulp joined us for a review of today’s insane action in the precious metal markets. He was a buyer of gold yesterday and he’ll be a buyer on Monday as well. Gold’s price fluctuations have had absolutely no affect on his inherent distrust of the badly fractured banking system. Gold and silver are now, as they always have been, insurance policies against financial collapse. The 2008-09 collapse should have been a worldwide wake-up call, but very few people other than the Asians paid any attention. Where gold goes from here is a great question, but not really a very important one.

Triple Lutz Report #255 – Is Your College Degree Worth A Half Million Dollars?

from Financial Survival Network

How much is your college degree really worth? If you got it 32 years ago like me, it’s worth much more than if you’re getting it today. College tuition has increased by many times more than the real rate of inflation, let alone the phony one the government cooks up. This means that 25 years from now, at the current rate of increase, a private college degree will cost well in excess of $1 million! And there’s still no guarantee that you’re going to be able to get a job anyway. Add in another million if you want to attend law school or medical school and pretty soon, you’re talking real money. Even though it’s not quite this costly now, you need to decide if it’s a luxury that you can’t afford.

Martin Armstrong – Eliminate The Income Tax, and Print The Difference

from Financial Survival Network

Martin Armstrong sees an increasing level of lawlessness as government tries ever harder to keep the system going. It can’t last and will eventually lead to a new currency. There is no other way. This means that your best bet for surviving the transition is gold/silver, stocks and real estate. Tangible goods are your key to survival. You need to be carefully examining your future retirement. Be sure to build relationships with health care providers. Failure to do so could leave you unable to obtain treatment.

This was lengthy interview touching upon many different areas. Our best discussion to date. Remember, government will always attempt to spend more than it takes in. Our responsibility as citizens is to prevent this natural course of events from happening again and again.
