Creak! Pop! Join Chris & Paul for another revelatory and insightful romp through the world of popping financial rivets and newly sprung holes in the monetary dike. This week, the yen, gold and what the prospect of sharply higher interest rates would mean for investors.

Today, I welcome back David Rodgers Webb, Author of “The Great Taking”. For me, this journey began after an initial reading of David’s book, and a weekend down the rabbit hole, followed by my first interview with David last November. Nearly a thousand hours of research later, and a complete series of deep dives on the topic, I am pleased to talk with David again on recent developments surrounding The Great Taking, and how David sees things developing including some of the recent events with stat...

The deeper I went the more I had to learn. Honestly, the Great Taking inquiry and everywhere it led me was similar to the effort that went into my Covid work. The final conclusion? The risks are very real and you need to understand them if you wish to minimize them. Click Here for Part 2

The financial system has evolved into a highly efficient machine…for skimming profits and using opaque complexities to hide the sheer magnitude of the operation. Sure, we get cheaper trades on a per trade basis, but with billions of trades the tiny slices add up. Importantly, the system has a number of weak points about which every investors and financial profession should be aware. Click Here for Part 2

Every investor needs to carefully consider the implications of gold’s recent breakout. It all began on Feb 28th, 2022 when the US seized Russia’s sovereign assets. The rest of the world seems to be saying “message received!” and this will greatly complicate an already precarious US fiscal situation.

I have some good news and some bad news. SIPC ‘insurance’ coverage for your brokerage portfolio operates reasonably well (that’s the good news) but is woefully undercapitalized for a true financial crisis. How much it may or may not cover is far more difficult to unearth than it should be. Here’s what you need to know. Click Here for Part 2

The US is on a fiscally unsustainable path, which has dire implications. Tough words, but they aren’t mine, they are those of the US Treasury Department. Those who can absorb these ideas and respond early tot heir implications have the best chance at a more prosperous future.

“Do you want to live in a world that is free?” This is the the topic at the core of this interview. Make no mistake, whether you are paying attention or not, there’s an anti-free agenda well underway and with a head of steam. One that involved the WEF, WHO, UN, NGOs and other groups and individuals dedicated to delivering more chaos.

Now why would Wall Street place its most sensitive plumbing needs in the hands of a man whose prior work experience mainly included working for the arm of the CIA that busied itself with overthrowing foreign governments? That’s a darned good question. One which we’ll explore today because it concerns your ownership of ‘your’ stock & bond portfolio. Click Here for Part 2

Do you find it tough to make financial decisions these days? You’re not alone…

You know what’s crazier than a NY Department of Health? The Appeals Court judges who ruled that NY lawmakers “don’t have standing” to argue their Constitutional right to make and pass the laws of NY state. Once the rule of law is seen to be capricious and arbitrary, why bother living lawfully?

“They would never do that” people have told me in response to The Great Taking. Many of them financial professionals. Well, I’ve got some harsh news for these folks, it’s already happened. The trigger has not only been installed, but the test cases have seen that trigger pulled. To think they went through all that trouble only to not use it is naive. Click Here for Part 2

Why are the markets behaving as they are? Nobody knows, but it’s clear that fundamentals have taken the back seat. Are they sniffing out past or future money printing, or both? More importantly, how does one begin to protect their wealth during such a time?

The ceiling is the oil price above which the US debt market crumbles. The floor is the minimum price needed to grow oil supplies. The ceiling and the floor are squeezing closer and closer…This was another barn-burner of an interview you won’t want to miss.

With countries in recession amidst companies reporting record highs, how long do we have before bubbles start to burst? Because nobody knows, you should have a plan and remember that it’s always better to be early than late.

In today’s conversation with Stephen Flood, we’re peeling back the layers on why gold, often seen as a relic of the past, continues to be a pivotal asset in our complex financial world, particularly as we face the challenges of inflated currencies and geopolitical instability.

The game has been rigged against you and toward Big Banks and other major financial players. This concerns the so-called “Safe Harbor” provision which grants those big players the right to reach into a failing or failed financial company and take what they feel they are owed. Most of you will find this shocking, and you should. It’s deeply unfair, Click Here for Part 2

The Federal Reserve (et al) have abdicated their responsibility to the average person as well as the future, and have settled into the role of “serial bubble blower(s).” But how to play along without getting burned? That’s the age-old question, isn’t it? Tune in for this topic.

In this episode we dive into the murky waters of all the ‘senior claims’ that stand above your puny ‘security entitlement’ and we spell them out. What are they? How many are there? Click Here for Part 2

Remember the Nifty 50 in the 1970s? Or the dot com bubble peak? History may not repeat itself, but it sure does rhyme.

Let’s digest the biggest news event of the year together! The Tucker-Putin interview has already sent the SPR-draining, border migrant invading, Ukraine-funding crowd into a complete tizzy. Maybe we can add to their discomfort…

The Permian shale oil basin is very close to peaking out. When it does, everything changes for the US and the world. Join Adam Rozencwajg and I as we explore the most vital but overlooked topic of our times.
