Bonds, stocks, real estate - nearly every asset class is in a speculative price bubble claims legendary investor and hard assets guru Jim Rogers in Part 2 of our recent interview with him. Commodities are the one exception. Even after the dramatic price spikes seen recently in oil, gas, wheat, gold, silver, etc -- Rogers still calculates they are dramatically undervalued relative to all other assets.

As inflation spiked over the past year, commodity prices started rising dramatically from their multi-year lows. But following the outbreak of war in Ukraine, the prices of all major commodities -- from oil to gas to gold to nickel to wheat -- have positively gone berserk, with many up 20-40% (and some a lot higher) in just the past week or two In trying to understand where things are headed, I can't think of a better expert to consult than Jim Rogers, legendary international investor, financial...

Suddenly commodities -- oil, natural gas, wheat, gold, nickel, uranium, you name it -- are at the epicenter of the world's focus. They've now been weaponized in the recent international response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The US and its allies are enforcing embargoes against Russian exports, while Russia simultaneously tells the West it won't sell to them anymore anyways. Given that Russia is a top world supply of many key natural resources, the prices of many commodities are going ballist...

According to today's guest, energy expert and petroleum geologist Art Berman, the world is now experiencing an oil shock -- the magnitude of which we've rarely seen before. Oil prices had risen tremendously over the past two years off of their 2020, but the recent outbreak of war in Ukraine has propelled them into a higher orbit. The trade embargoes currently under consideration against Russia in response to the invasion sent oil futures briefly up to $139/barrel last night. That's nearly twice ...

The world has quickly become less stable over the first 2 months of 2022. Financial system stability, especially in the all-important bond market, was eroding at a concerning pace prior to last week, but Russia's recent invasion of Ukraine is serving as an accelerant to the situation. The severe economic sanctions being applied against Russia, including banning it from the SWIFT international payments platform, are near-certain to create painful consequences for ALL parties involved. To give us ...

Geopolitical risk has been relatively subdued as an investment theme over the past decade. But it’s now moving quickly to the forefront, as today’s headlines about Ukraine, Russia and NATO make clear. There’s another, much more quiet and poorly understood threat that I want to bring to your attention today. It was raised by macro analyst Luke Gromen at last month’s Wealthion conference, where he explained that China is exploiting the US dollar system to lock up a growing number of key global res...

Spiking energy prices in oil, natural gas and other key fuels are the direct result from bone-headed policies. Doomberg returns to remind us that "energy is life", and when you mess with energy, you mess with all of the systems we depend on. He also explains what's wrong with the popular ESG movement -- notably, that we have over-focused on the "E" to the sacrifice of the "G".

Inflation is now raging, largely due to the record $trillions of new money the Federal Reserve has issued in monetary stimulus while keeping interest rates at historic lows. As central banks around the world conduct the greatest monetary experiment in human history in real-time around us, it's important to keep the Bullwhip Effect in mind. The mathematical odds that the world's many central planners, with their manifold partners in distributing fiat liquidity, are going to have the finesse to su...

As volatility increasingly roils markets this year, which assets should perform best/worst? Highly-respected investor Felix Zulauf, owner and President of Zulauf Consulting, predicts markets will correct by 20% or so over the coming months as the Federal Reserve embarks on hiking interest rates. But he then expects the Fed to reverse its stance and adopt more dovish policies by summer, which will resume the bull market in stocks through 2024. These two opposite trends will impact the prices of s...

A lot of people regard the Federal Reserve as omnipotent. But it’s not. The bond market is more powerful. And its days of deferring to the Fed’s wishes may soon be over. Should that happen, all heck will break loose in the markets. And bond yields are now rising as the Fed accelerates its tapering, on the way to then raising interest rates. The last time today's guest expert was on the program, he warned that the bubble in financial asset prices would be popped by "trouble in the bond market". S...
