Vonda White – From Welfare to Millionaire

from FinancialSurvivalNet

Vonda White spent much of her earlier life in poverty. Her family was on welfare and food-stamps. She was determined not to repeat her family’s errors, so she worked hard in school, and jumped at the opportunity of a college scholarship. From there she started a highly successful career, but she soon realized that all that glittered was not gold. She learned that there are 6 areas in life that determine one’s level of success and happiness. Now she’s wrote a book sharing her discoveries.

Fred Manske, Jr. – Success Through Decency

from FinancialSurvivalNet

Fred Manske, Jr., has held a number of high ranking positions in large corporations. He’s come to the realization that the only way to succeed in business and to stay successful is by maintaining high ethical standards and showing decency in all of your business dealings. He thinks that the current business climate, typified most by Wall Street, is a large factor in what’s driving the economy and the world down. However, decency is infectious and once you start doing it, it’s impossible to go back. So, in the long run, Fred is optimistic about the future.

David Gurwitz – Charles Nenner Research Says Dow 5000 & Bad Economy To 2017 (Part 1)

from FinancialSurvivalNet

David Gurwitz of Charless Nenner Research joined us for a market forecast review. Nenner is predicting major blood in the streets. The Dow and the economy are both headed dramatically lower. Interestingly, he doesn’t attribute this state of affairs to political leadership or to market trends. Rather, he follows cycles, some hundreds of years in the making, to determine the future direction of numerous markets. His calls have been quite prescient too, recently he called Apple’s top at 707. Before that he was urging clients to get out of the market in 2007, right before the crash. Whether you believe in cycles or not, his research warrants a look.

Triple Lutz Report #245 – Hardcore Pawn’s Les Gold For Detroit Emergency Manager

from FinancialSurvivalNet

If you’ve been listening to the show or reading the papers you know that Detroit, MI is up the creek without a paddle. Decades of corruption and incompetence have led it to the brink of insolvency. In last ditch effort to avoid bankruptcy Michigan Governor Rick Snyder appointed an emergency manager to run things. The manager can pretty much do whatever he desires in the name of rescuing the city. But will it be enough?

Martin Armstrong – The Debt Of Nations (Part 1)

from FinancialSurvivalNet

Martin Armstrong is back for another installment… The Euro is crumbling. So is the yen. The beneficiary is the dollar which has been going up. This is the future of things to come. There’s no turning back now. Money printing is out of control and so is sovereign debt. This will eventually lead to some type of debt jubilee, either total or partial, but there’s really no other way out. Governments, by their very nature, will always spend more than they have and make up the difference by taxing and borrowing. No one in government ever wants to tell people that the party is over. Therefore, it goes on and on until there’s a major crash and the system has to be reset. According to Martin, it’s down the road a ways, but not too far.

Danielle Park vs. Kerry Lutz – Is Nanny Bloomberg Right?

from FinancialSurvivalNet

Danielle Park and I had our first online debate. It worked well because we both have total respect for one another and we really enjoy each other’s company. On the subject of the numerous health and public welfare initiatives led by New York City’s Mayor Michael Bloomberg, we vehemently disagreed with each other’s position. Danielle is of the opinion that since the public purse is involved, the government has the right to dictate behavior to ignorant citizens. My belief is that the government shouldn’t be involved in these matters in the first place and that it’s up to the individual to regulate her own behavior. One thing we did agree upon is that I need to lose weight. Danielle suggested acquiring a juicer and I may take her up on that.

Michael Krieger – The Business Of America Is Fraud

from FinancialSurvivalNet

Michael Krieger is back again. Whether it’s the food you eat, the booze you drink, the information you ingest, the funds you invest or the education your children get, fraud has become the overwhelming business model of the Unite States and the World. Your best defense to food fraud is to buy local and keep food choices simple. For investing, you already know our opinion. As far as the rest goes, you’ll have to figure it out on your own. Right now 5 states are trying to outlaw food whistle-blowers. They obviously don’t want you to know the truth. And that has become government’s overriding purpose, keeping you from the truth!

Ranting Andy Hoffman – It’s Not The Economy Stupid

from FinancialSurvivalNet

Ranting Andy Hoffman was in rare form today. We talked about the upcoming bankruptcy of New York State and others. We covered Europe’s continued economic slide into oblivion and we discussed the Chinese Real Estate Bubble as faithfully reported by CBS 60 Minutes. Things aren’t looking, but at least Andy’s gold is safe in Brink’s Canada’s Montreal vault. He actually visited it and counted it up. In addition, more forced sequestration cuts are coming to a government near you. Where we go from here isn’t certain, but gold and silver could be your best defense.

Bron Suchecki – Hot Money Is Distorting The Precious Metals Markets

from FinancialSurvivalNet

Bron Suchecki is head of strategy for the world-renowned Perth Mint. He went into an exhaustive explanation of why the precious metals markets have been in such turmoil as of late. The ability of large hedge funds and investment groups to pour money into markets at a moment’s notice, going either long or short, makes markets extremely volatile. In addition, these investors play a game of follow the leader which has them moving money based on momentum rather than market fundamentals. How much longer this behavior will last is an open question. Probably until it no longer works.

Jason Hartman – Invest In Inflation: Buy Real Estate

from FinancialSurvivalNet

Jason Hartman has been in real estate for over 20 years. During this time he’s helped thousands of investors build wealth through his simple system. He believes that owning gold, silver, platinum, palladium and real estate are the keys to building wealth and keeping even in an awful economy. There’s no other investment that enables you to profit from inflationary forces than real estate. You get to pay back your debt in greatly depreciated dollars. The strategy has worked for decades and is still working today.

Triple Lutz Report #244 – Is Detroit The City Of The Future?

from FinancialSurvivalNet

This week Michigan’s governor Rick Snyder reluctantly appointed an Emergency Manager to run the failed city of Detroit. The manager will have sweeping powers that allow him to void contracts, lay-off employees, reorganize entire departments and basically do whatever he pleases. Whether this will allow the city to avoid bankruptcy is an open question. Detroit is $14 billion in debt with no way out. Population in the last 60 years has declined from 1.8 million to around 700,000 today. At this rate someone will truly have turn off the lights after the last person leaves, except that scavengers will have stolen all the copper wiring before that happens.

John Rubino – The Economic Down Spiral Picking Up Speed

from FinancialSurvivalNet

John Rubino of Dollar Collapse joined us today to discuss exactly what’s going on in the economy. While GDP decreased last quarter, you can expect it to decline further for the current quarter. The universal tax increases have kicked in with a vengeance and we’re not seeing an uptick in employment to offset them. In addition, government spending is declining which is a definite current drag on the economy, even if it’s good for the long run. John and I are expecting more of the same for the rest of 2013, with the rate of descent picking up steam throughout. But don’t expect your government to give you the straight story. It ain’t gonna happen, governments always tell you what they think you want to hear.

Mickey Fulp – Major Market Monthly Review for February

from FinancialSurvivalNet

Mickey Fulp and I reviewed market performance for last month. Besides the bloodshed on the TSX-V, most stock markets went up around 1 percent. Precious metals and copper were flattened, with the notable exception of Palladium. Energy was also down, except for natural gas which has been helped by a cold winter in the Northeast. But the surprise of the month was the strengthening dollar. It was up 3.5% while the euro lost 3.8%. Will wonders ever cease?

Tom Dyson – Boring Whole Life Insurance Could Be A Great Investment

from FinancialSurvivalNet

Back by popular demand, Tom Dyson head of the Palm Beach Letter explains how a boring, investment in life insurance could be your ticket to a very comfortable retirement. Tom compares whole life insurance to mutual funds, and while you might get lucky and get stellar returns on a good fund, over time the fees are going to kill your rate of return. With whole life, you pay the fees up front and over time your investment results may far out perform most funds. You’ll also get a death benefit that can benefit your family and you can borrow funds as necessary without decreasing the policies guaranteed returns. Many of the best insurance companies have been around more than a century and have survived major economic disruptions. You shouldn’t put all your eggs in one basket, but insurance can be a part of the equation.

Chris Duane – Forget Wall Street! Go For The Gold (and Silver Too)

from FinancialSurvivalNet

Chris Duane the SilverShield stopped by FSN today to talk about my new book and how it can help you. Please go to Amazon and write a review if you like it. We also discussed the story of one of Chris’s group who started buying half dollars from the bank and amassed a 2000 ounce cache of silver, for free! Listen to the story, it’s quite amazing how a disabled vet was able to do it all from the comfort of his home. He eventually stopped when a law enforcement posse arrived on his doorstep, purportedly to investigate bogus charges of money laundering.

Charles Hugh Smith – Why Things Are Falling Apart

from FinancialSurvivalNet

Charles Hugh Smith of OfTwoMinds.com stopped by for a chat today. We discussed his newest book, Why Things Are Falling Apart and What We Can Do About It. The answer quite simply is self-reliance and not looking to the government to take care of us. We all know that the safety net is being swamped and will collapse in the next few years. Therefore, prudence dictates that we look for alternatives. Investing in yourself is always a sure bet. It will enable you to create additional streams of income which will help get you through the collapse.

G. Edward Griffin – The Future Is Calling: An Invitation To Change The World

from FinancialSurvivalNet

G. Edward Griffin, author of The Creature from Jekyll Island joined us to discuss the coming crash and where we stand in relation to Rome and other fallen empires. Tulip mania has spread across the world. While the Dutch had less developed markets and no derivatives, the global finance community today has managed to leverage leverage, and this collapse will be far worse than all the others combined. And just like most people don’t think about asteroids crashing to the earth, even less people worry about monetary collapses, but they should.

Jan Skoyles – Can You Trust Your Central Banker?

from FinancialSurvivalNet

Jan Skoyles is back again. First Germany, then Switzerland and now Mexico. They no longer trust the Fed or the Bank of England with their gold reserves. And for good reason. There’s zero transparency and there are probably many conflicting claims to the gold that is currently on deposit with these banks. Jan believes that since the central banks no longer trust each other, you shouldn’t either? If you really want proof as to their dishonesty, just look at the decline in purchasing power that we’ve witnessed over the past century. It’s not just the US, it’s every country that has fiat currency, which is all of them!

Wayne Allyn Root – The Ultimate Obama Survival Guide

from FinancialSurvivalNet

Wayne Allyn Root is a well known libertarian who has put together a comprehensive guide to surviving the next four years of Obama. In researching the book, he consulted 18 wealthy individuals for their strategy and guidance to avoiding the inevitable collapse that socialistic policies cause. First on the list was moving to a low tax state. This simple move will enable the average individual to retire with much more of their wealth left in tact. Next is to buy gold, for obvious reasons. Finally, the wealthy are buying high paying dividend non-US stocks. Using this simple strategy will go along ways towards protecting you and your family over the next four years.

Peter Grandich – Patience Precious Metals Investors Time Is On Your Side

from FinancialSurvivalNet

Peter Grandich took some time from his busy day to talk to us. The real economy isn’t growing. Central banks continue record purchases of gold. The Euro is again under pressure. Inflation is rising and will continue to rise at increasing rates. Peter believes the raging 12 year precious metals bull will continue on unabated. The battle lines are drawn now. We have a conflict starting between the makers and the takers. A kind of Atlas Shrugged scenario is unfolding and once the government grows to 50 percent of the economy, the end game is near. Just look at France!

Bill Holter – American Ain’t What It Used To Be

from FinancialSurvivalNet

Bill Holter stopped by today. We hadn’t connected with him in a while. We observed that so many things that we experienced as kids are now gone. Playing outside in the street with your neighborhood buddies, physical activity, chores and so many other things don’t happen any longer. It’s a real shame and a loss to the country. We also talked about the upcoming sequestration and the horrible effect it will have on Main Street. While $85 billion is a rounding error to the Fed or Wall Street, to the rest of us it means a million jobs and alot of economic activity that won’t take place. And the Republicans are talking about ceding their authority over the budget to the president. Just another step towards imperial government.

David Morgan – Keynesianism Always Fails

from FinancialSurvivalNet

David Morgan, the silver aficionado extraordinaire was with us today discussing silver, the crumbling world economy and why sound money will eventually reassert itself. The folly of humanity can easily be followed by watching the numerous fiat money systems that have been tried and failed. Just like human nature repeats itself over and over again, so does its effort to achieve the economic free lunch. Unfortunately, the end result is always the same and nothing can ever change that. Also fortunately, there’s a 12 year old Canadian youth that has been making waves on YouTube explaining these basic truths to anyone who cares to listen.

She agrees with Arch Crawford that May 20, 2013 is a possible important inflection point. There are many economic and political events that are converging on or about that date, that could well lead to interesting times ahead. She doesn’t believe we’re going to have a financial meltdown this week, it’s only Tuesday, but that remains to be seen.

Ranting Andy Hoffman – Is Italy The Next Domino?

from FinancialSurvivalNet

Ranting Andy Hoffman is back for another Monday installment. Italian elections are taking place and it looks like Berlusconi is in. When you see things like this happening, American politics doesn’t look quite so bad. More importantly, this is a potential Black Swan event that could lead to the undoing of the Euro and the world economy. And, if it’s not this it will be something else, rest assured. Don’t try to play tricks with hyper-inflation and the eventual repudiation of all debts. The system will come after you and try to reclaim your gains. Also, what if you’re wrong about when it will happen and you need to cash in your chips before payday? Accumulate gold and silver and be content to just sit back and wait.

from FinancialSurvivalNet

Arch Crawford, the renowned technical and astrological investor joined the show today. He believes that if there’s a crash coming in the next 6 months, it will occur by February 28, 2013. He’s not sure that it will happen, but if it does it will soon be here. While his forecasts are not 100 percent accurate, they are always interesting and provocative. He still thinks gold and silver are the investments for the intermediate and long term. Furthermore, he doesn’t see Congress fixing anything. So, what else is new? In addition, he said to watch out for May 20, a significant date on the Mayan Calendar.

from FinancialSurvivalNet

Robert Ian spoke with us today about the ascendancy of Russia. They now are the world’s largest oil producer and the largest purchaser of gold. These two distinctions bode ill for the US and for freedom loving people the world over. Russia and China are working to displace the dollar as the world’s reserve currency and it seems as if the US is working with them as well. As far as the real estate recovery is concerned, Robert is skeptical as the shadow inventory continues to mount and the excesses that caused the collapse in the first place continue go on unabated.
