Investor and macro analyst Bill Fleckenstein returns for Part 2 of our interview with him, to share his concerns about the current bear market not being over. A veteran short seller who has been on the sidelines for years, Bill is now back actively shorting the market to an extent he hasn't done for a long time. Bill expects things to "get ugly" as Q3 earnings disappoint and 2023 forecasts are downgraded. He also expects the Fed to be forced to pivot at some point by instability that's NOT going...

The global economy runs on credit, so when there's trouble in the credit markets, EVERYTHING hangs in the balance. Bond yields have been rising fast around the world this year. So fast in some cases, that things are starting to break. Just this past week, the UK credit market started melting down -- forcing the Bank of England to engineer a desperate rescue by buying 65billion-pounds worth of gilts on the open market. How worried should we be about instability in our credit markets? To find out,...

We've frequently commented on this program that it's hard to be an 'investor' over recent years because central planner policy has been by far the big driver of price action. Instead, we're forced to be 'speculators', placing our bets based on what we think those few policymakers will decide to do next. Last week's near-death moment for British pension funds is a classic example of how a change in policy can disrupt everything in a heartbeat. So we should try to get the best bead we can then on ...

A common refrain among the market experts I talk with is that we can't be 'investors' in the current environment -- instead, we're all forced to be speculators, guessing what Fed Chair Jerome Powell and other The Federal Open Market Committee members are going to decide to do next. Because that's all that matters to price action these days. Like it or not, that's the world we're living in right now. So it makes all the sense in the world to tap the perspective of someone who knows the Fed inside...

Today we hear from Simon Hunt, one of the world's foremost experts on the copper industry. When Simon first appeared on this program back in March, he forecasted that extremely volatile times lay ahead that will be punctuated by fierce rallies & sharp declines -- with the overall trend moving from stagflation to deflation. This seems to indeed be the script playing out here in 2022. He also told us that by 2025, Simon sees a good chance the massive pile of $trillions in global unserviceable ...

The lesson to take from the wisdom of Van Halen’s "no brown M&Ms" rider is that having good indicators is key to achieving success. This is also extremely true for the world of investing, where you are deploying capital based upon an expected future return. How do you determine when it’s a good time to enter into an investment? Once in it, how do you monitor the conditions supporting your rationale for holding it — are those changing? And if so, are they getting better or worse? When should ...

Last week, financial advisor Lance Roberts predicted the struggle between the bulls and the bears was likely to be decided soon. Well, the bears won decisively this week. Tuesday's continued hot CPI report of 8.3% sent markets on their biggest 1-day plunge in over two years. Evidence of a global recession is mounting by the day. And corporations are now reducing guidance , which will force analysts to finally lower their forward earnings forecasts. Things are starting to get bumpy... For everyth...

Jim returns for Part 2 of his interview with Stephanie Pomboy in which he explains that, should the Fed pivot back to easing before inflation is fully tamed, it risks re-igniting the CPI back up as high as a horrific 15% He also shares his reasons for thinking that CBDCs are inevitable -- in fact, already in progress. https://youtu.be/KoVm4BsmSpk Learn more about your ad choices.

Jim is concerned we may be heading into a recession+liquidity crisis similar to what we experienced during the 2008 GFC. A financial crisis spreads just like a virus does. The contagion equation is the same. Shifts in narrative/confidence can cause fear to spread quickly – sometimes creating the bad outcome it’s afraid of (e.g., a run on the bank). Or sometimes the opposite (e.g., asset bubbles). The Fed pivot narrative brought a lot of capital back into the market, which resulted in the July ra...

I-Bonds continue to offer a great deal here, especially while the CPI remains so elevated. They currently accrue interest at 9.62% . That's exempt from state & local taxes. Plus your principal is guaranteed by the US Treasury. Who wouldn't want a risk-free high return like this, particularly in today's shaky markets? The knock on I-bonds is the $10,000 per calendar year purchase limit, But there's a little understood strategy that allows you to buy much more than that -- right now. To find o...

Markets have been sinking after Fed Chair Jerome Powell's tough talk at Jackson Hole last week. Getting inflation under control remains the Fed's top priority, and it's going to be a real challenge.

In rocky times like these, it helps to seek the counsel of advisors who have experienced many past market cycles -- what are they lessons they've learned that may help us better navigate our wealth through what's to...

The global energy crisis is suddenly thrusting nuclear power into the spotlight. Most nations have spent the past decade-plus working on mothballing or exiting their nuclear production facilities in the pursuit of migrating to a more "green" energy infrastructure. Now that strategy is being called into question, as calls for more MORE nuclear energy suddenly mount. Where is nuclear energy likely to head from here? Will we see more or less of it over the coming decades? And do the answers to thes...

As inflation continues at a 40+ year high, it’s time for an update on gold — historically one of, if not the most, trusted asset investors turn to to protect the purchasing power of their wealth against the ravages of inflation. Frankly put, gold has had a lackluster performance this year, at least when priced in US dollars. Why is that? And will it come to life if inflation persists from here? For answers to these questions, we turn to Brien Lundin, Editor of GoldNewsletter & producer of th...
