Jason Burack of Wall St for Main St and independent financial journalist and managing editor of The News Doctors, Eric Dubin, are back for episode #19 of the Welcome to Dystopia podcast.

The special guest on this podcast is Gold Anti-Tust Action Committee (GATA) http://www.gata.org/, President Bill Murphy. Bill has decades of experience trading commodities and also writes a popular newsletter at Le Metropole Cafe.

During this episode, Jason congratulates Bill and GATA for being vindicated with Deutsche Bank (DB) admitting manipulation of gold and silver and now agreeing to turn in evidence and help implicate its other co-conspirators.

Eric and Jason ask Bill many questions about the gold and silver markets.

Bill says US investment banks still haven't been named yet for their role but hopefully this will change soon. GATA has also not been contacted about testifying about the manipulation occurring.

After the interview with Bill is finished, Jason and Eric discuss why the Japanese Yen has been strengthening against the US Dollar and what that might be signaling?

The Yen carry trade being unwound on a large scale may be signalling that global asset prices are about to have a major correction.

Jason and Eric also talk about the recent emergency Federal Reserve meeting with President Obama at the White House and what may have been discussed?

Next, Jason and Eric talk about the large banks' exposure to bad oil loans and how it is still massive.

To wrap up the regular part of the show, Jason and Eric discuss how according to a recent Wall Street Journal report greater than 40% of all US student loan debts are in default.

Jason Burack of Wall St for Main St and managing editor of The News Doctorshttp://thenewsdoctors.com/ and independent financial journalist, Eric Dubin are back for episode #18 of the Welcome to Dystopia podcast.

BIG NEWS IN THE PRECIOUS METALS MARKETS IS THE SPROTT PHYSICAL SILVER TRUST OR PSLV IS BUYING $75 MILLION WORTH OF MORE PHYSICAL SILVER! https://finance.yahoo.com/news/sprott...

Jason and Eric discuss what this purchase means for the silver market and that a lot of silver supply could be offline in the next few years because of low base metal prices. A lot of the annual silver production (more than 60%) is from base metal mines as by-product.

French investment bank, Societe General (Soc Gen) predicts silver supply will fall by 9% in 2016 and by 13% in 2017 due to low base metal prices.

Eric and Jason also discuss gold and silver mining share.

Next, Jason and Eric discuss the Panama Papers leak and what motives are really behind it? Eric suggests listeners read this article: http://thenewsdoctors.com/panama-pape...

Scumbag Nominees:
1) TSA for wasting $1.4 million on an IPAD app for airport arrows telling you right or left for which line for pat downs or body scanners (how wasteful!)
2) President Maduro of Venezuela- for his communist/Marxist policies and the hyperinflation and murders and corruption that big government is destroying Venezuela.

Jason Burack of Wall St for Main St interviewed returning guest, the silver guru, David Morgan of The Morgan Report http://www.themorganreport.com/.

TheMorganReport.com [Get the Free Report 'Riches in Resources']

David has decades of market experience working in the financial industry and investing and trading markets. David has also written 2 books about silver, the Skinny on Silver and his new book, Silver Manifesto.

David is also the CEO of a new precious metals royalty and streaming company, Lemuria Royalty.

Purchase the Silver Manifesto here: http://www.amazon.com/Silver-Manifest...
http://www.audible.com/pd/Business/Th...

During this 35+ minute interview, Jason asks David about the recent announcement from the Sprott Physical Silver Trust (PSLV) that they are buying approximately 5 million oz of physical silver to add to the trust.

Jason asks David if the timing of the announcement was perfect to counter the negative commitment of traders (COT) reports on gold and silver?

David thinks Sprott timed this purchase perfectly. Jason asks David how difficult it is to source 5 million oz of physical silver?

David talks about the physical silver market and how the silver market is decided at the margin.

Jason and David also discuss the additional silver purchases PSLV can make in the future?

Next, Jason asks David about the BREAKING NEWS in the precious metals space about Deutsche Bank admitting it manipulated gold and silver markets, paying a settlement, cooperating and handing over evidence and also helping implicate other conspirators (big bullion banks) who helped manipulate gold and silver.

Story here: http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-04...

David and Jason confirm this is the story Rob Kirby was hinting at for months. (Jason also emailed Rob Kirby before the interview to confirm this was the story he was hinting at).

David thinks this story may open up Pandora's box as more evidence in the form of years worth of emails, instant messages and other forms of communication is handed over by DB to help implicate other banks.

Jason then asks David about the Soc Gen report saying silver supply will decrease by 9% in 2016 and by 13% in 2017 and if he thinks that research is accurate?

David says he thinks it's pretty accurate but he and Chris Marchese will look at it more closely in a future edition of their paid monthly newsletter, The Morgan Report.

To wrap up the interview, Jason and David talk abou

Wall St For Main St welcome Carol Roth, who is an entrepreneur, small business advocate, New York Times best selling author and radio host. She is also a judge on TBS America's Greatest Makers which had their season premiere last week.

In this podcast, we looked at how small business owners and entrepreneurs has fared since the 2008 financial crisis. Small business is the backbone of the economy and many argued that it has not picked up since the recovery. We also discussed why the 2016 presidential candidates do not give enough attention to the small business owners. Instead, they are giving them a hard time with regulations and taxes.

Finally, Carol will share her insight to why entrepreneurship is not as glamorous as people think it is and not everyone should become one. But just in case you do decide to become an entrepreneur, she will also tell us her advice. Plus much more!

Jason Burack of Wall St for Main St interviewed returning guest, editor & publisher of the Gloom Boom Doom Report http://www.gloomboomdoom.com/, Dr. Marc Faber.

Marc has decades of experience investing in global financial markets and he has wrote the book, Tomorrow's Gold- Asia's Age of Discovery.

During this 30+ minute interview, Jason opens the interview by asking Marc about how he thinks China will deal with the massive debt problems its state owned banks and municipalities have?

Marc jokes about Jason asking the Chinese government instead of him. Jason then asks Marc about what Kyle Bass is saying about China. Marc says the US mainstream financial media and Federal Reserve are talking about how bad things are in China and Europe to deflect attention from the US' debt problems.

Next, Jason asks Marc how much global central banks are coordinating their policies and doing market manipulations and market manipulations together?

Marc says he thinks there's no such thing as currency wars and that the US, UK, Japan and the ECB all coordinate monetary and interest rate policy together so they can take turns doing QE and devaluing their currencies.

Marc and Jason discuss where negative i9nterest rate policy or NIRP fits into the equation.

Jason asks Marc about the recent bear market rally in oil and base metals. Marc thinks the rally will sputter out soon and oil will go back down in the near future.

Marc also gives his thoughts on the 2016 US presidential elections.

Jason also asks Marc about gold, gold stocks, bad government economic data and where he sees value in markets so don't miss listening this great interview!

Jason Burack of Wall St for Main St interviewed returning guest, editor of the Hat Trick Letter at http://www.goldenjackass.com/, Jim Willie.

During this hour+ interview, Jason asks Jim 6 important questions about the global economy and the upcoming US presidential election.

Here's the questions Jason asked Jim:
1) Do you think many central banks are colluding and coordinating behind the scenes to manipulate markets, interest rates and currency exchange rates? How much more "monetary cocaine and heroine" can the global financial system take before all control is lost?

2) What do you think governments and central banks gain from implementing NIRP? Is this a main part of the cashless society and totalitarian control plan?

3) Was this recent bear market rally in oil and base metals done so banks wouldn't have to write off many billions in bad loans? Is that tsunami of loan defaults still coming soon?

4) Is it even possible for the GLD to get its hands on over 100 tons of physical gold in a week or two?

5) Do you think TPTB can hold markets and the global economy together through US presidential elections in November 2016?

6) Noted hedge fund manager Kyle Bass says in his February 2016 newsletter that China will need to print $10 trillion US dollars worth of RMB to bailout its banking system and municipalities. What do you think this means for China and the global economy? Could China just dramatically revalue its gold holdings instead of printing all that fiat currency?

Jason Burack of Wall St for Main St interviewed returning guest, best selling author and Chief Global Strategist at the West Shore Funds, Editor of Strategic Intelligence, a monthly newsletter, and Director of The James Rickards Project, an inquiry into the complex dynamics of geopolitics + global capital, James Rickards. http://www.jamesrickardsproject.com/

During this 30+ minute interview, Jason first asks Jim why do you think so many people on Wall St don't understand or hate gold?

Jim says there's been over 40 years of conditioning, brainwashing, etc in schools in the US that's anti-gold and that people in other countries understand gold's role in a diversified investment portfolio far better.

Jason and Jim discuss Warren Buffett's view on gold and the erroneous view that gold caused the Great Depression of 1929.

Jim says that gold is money and doesn't need a yield. Next, Jason asks Jim why Russia and China are accumulating so much physical gold?

Jim says China is doing it to hedge its paper US Treasury holdings (over $3 trillion) in case the US is successfully able to create massive amounts of inflation and devalue the US Dollar.

Jim thinks Russia is accumulating gold more because the US is targeting them more with financial warfare.

Jason then asks Jim if the Shanghai Gold Exchange will allow for real price discovery in the gold market?

Jim talks about how has been manipulated for over 100 years since WWI and that the Chinese would love to accumulate more gold at a lower price but that the gold miners cannot withstand gold at lower prices. Jim mentions a trip to Switzerland to speak to one of the world's largest gold refiners and how this refiner is running his plant 24/7/365 and can't adequately source enough physical gold to send to his Chinese customers.

To wrap up the interview, Jason asks Jim what event/s will stop the currency wars or coordinated central bank currency devaluations?

Jim says currency wars normally last a long time (at least a decade) and that the current currency war has only been ongoing for about 6 years. As the global economy becomes more incoherent, fragile and volatile, the global economy may need to return to a golden standard. But, people should accumulate at least some gold and be on their own personal gold standard.

Wall St for Main St welcomed back Dan Collins, who is the Editor of The China Money Report. We bring on Dan to provide insights on what is going on in China since he lives and owns a business in China unlike some of the pundits on CNN and MSNBC where the closest they have been to China is Panda Express ;)

In this podcast, we discussed the propaganda war going on in the mainstream media on the Chinese economy. Are they blowing things out of proportion? Also, we talked about the volatile Chinese stock market , Trump's proposal to increase tariff on Chinese imports, China gold buying spree and much more!

Jason Burack of Wall St for Main St interviewed returning guest, Austrian School Economist, author and investor, Tuur Demeester. His articles are posted on his Twitter handle @Tuurdemeester and he writes for popular Bitcoin and block chain websites.

Tuur Demeester is an independent investor and commentator. He has a background in Austrian economics, the school that specializes in the study of boom-and-bust cycles in the economy. He first discovered Bitcoin on a research trip in Argentina, and started recommending it as an investment at $5 in January 2012.

During this 30+ minute interview, Jason asks Tuur about the state of the global economy. Tuur grew up in Europe, moved to the US and then moved to Latin America. He says emerging markets are used to problems and difficulties more than Americans are and that they are more resilient and more likely to adapt.

Tuur says Bitcoin has dynamic growth in many African countries right now and that Bitcoin will help protect citizens of countries like China from devaluations.

Jason asks Tuur questions about where the $300+ million invested in the Bitcoin and block chain industry went?

Tuur says most of the money went into infrastructure.

Tuur says technologies can always be used for bad things or weaponized by governments or another group and central banks and governments talking about their own private digital currencies and block chains fit into that idea.

Tuur thinks the current large hashing problems with Bitcoin will be solved in different parts and that competing digital currencies like Etherium don't have a large enough network effect.

To wrap up the interview, Tuur says people will need to be more entrepreneurial and open up an online business

Jason Burack of Wall St for Main St had on returning guest, former portfolio manager and founder of 720 Global http://www.720global.com/, Michael Lebowitz. Michael's articles frequently appear on Zero Hedge. His firm 720 Global writes institutional research.

During this 30+ minute interview, Jason asks Michael about the Federal Reserve and Janet Yellen announcing this week that they will not try to aggressively raise interest rates and if they are trapped and have to go to negative interest rate policy (NIRP) asap?

Michael says the Fed probably won't increase interest more than at most once more in 2016 before they start reversing their interest rate hikes into rate cuts back towards zero and NIRP.

Michael says central bank policies from the US, Japan, China and the ECB are driving people into gold along with the threat of NIRP.

Michael thinks gold has probably bottomed and will continue to go higher long term as long as central banks keep making desperate policy decisions.

Next, Jason asks Michael if he is surprised the stock market hasn't crashed yet?

Michael says he has written 4 articles in the last year or so about share buybacks driving the US stock market higher.

He thinks as the amount of share buybacks decreases soon the likelihood of a stock market crash and bad balance sheets of corporations doing buybacks with too much debt could increase the odds of a stock market crash.

Michael cites Conoco Phillips as an example of a large corporation that did too many share buybacks in 2012 and 2013.

Jason asks Michael if he thinks the recent rallies in oil and base metals prices are based on fundamentals or short covering? Michael thinks very little of those rallies have to do with fundamentals and he thinks oil goes much lower back to $20-30/barrel in the near future.

To wrap up the interview, Jason asks Michael which industries he sees value for in stocks?

Michael says people can start positions in larger oil companies with good balance sheets who don't have a lot of debt and that more sophisticated investors who can read financial statements well can look at oil bonds.

He doesn't like the value in almost any sector but thinks select gold stocks are still very good buys. Michael says people with smaller amounts of capital should buy a gold mining ETF or gold stock mutual fund or royalty and streaming companies like Franco Nevada.

Jason and Michael briefly discuss the silliness of election season now upon the US until November presidential elections are over.

Jason Burack of Wall St for Main St had on first time guest, Philip Kennedy of Kennedy Financial http://www.philipkennedy.com/home.html.

Phil is a Certified Fraud Examiner, Certified Public Accountant (CPA) and his is a Certified Financial Planner (CFP) candidate. His full bio can be found here: http://www.philipkennedy.com/about.html

Phil started his volunteer based non-profit Kennedy Financial to help military and middle class families in the US get out of debt and also to start saving and investing.

Phil has also written a new book, Financial Judo: Leverage The Crash to Your Advantage, which is free to download as an e-book in exchange for an email address on his website.

Phil also has a new YouTube channel with a lot of good interviews to check out.

During this 25+ minute interview, Jason asks Phil about his background and how he found the Austrian School of Economics?

Phil talks about how he worked hard to get through school and to get all of his certifications and how after he graduated he and his wife wanted to get out of debt asap. Phil found the Austrian School of Economics from Tom Woods' book, Meltdown which was written in 2009 right after the stock market crash in 2008.

Jason then asks Phil about his new book, Financial Judo, what is judo and why he chose the title?

Phil gives a summary of the book and says it's meant for beginners to personal finance and investing. The book has stories and suggestions how to start getting out of debt and what investments to buy with new savings like gold and silver.

Jason and Phil discuss living in the DC metro area and the state of the US economy, which is nowhere near as good as President Obama claims.

Phil thinks the US is already in a depression and that there was no recovery in 2008.

Jason then asks Phil about the amount of fraud in corporations and government in the US?

To wrap up the interview, Phil says how he thinks silver is the best investment anyone with modest means can make right now.

Jason Burack of Wall St for Main St and managing editor of The News Doctors http://thenewsdoctors.com/ and independent financial journalist, Eric Dubin welcome special guest Louis Cammarosano of Smaulgld https://smaulgld.com/ to Episode #17 of their Welcome to Dystopia podcast.

Louis a a precious metal and real estate expert who also has been a teacher, worked on Wall St, worked in Silicon Valley and has been a lawyer for Wall St.

During this hour+ episode, Jason asks Louis about the precious metals market.

Louis thinks CPM Group and the Silver Institute use incorrect data. He says CPM doesn't count investment demand in their demand calculations and that the Silver Institute doesn't properly account for silver ETF holdings. Louis thinks the physical silver market has been in a major deficit for years.

Eric then asks what will cause the silver price to rise? Louis says investment demand and/ot industrial demand for physical metal will force paper prices higher (if the manipulators allow it).

Eric follows up about the manipulation of gold and silver and Louis says it's getting worse.

Jason asks Louis if miners going bankrupt will force the manipulators to retreat and the paper prices to go higher?

Jason asks Louis about the discrepancy between his Mexican silver supply numbers and the Mexican silver supply numbers Steve St Angelo of SRS Rocco report releases.

Louis says Mexican silver miners have to increase silver production to pay bills even with low silver prices. He says this will continue until prices rise or miners go bankrupt because no capital is available to them anymore.

Eric, Jason and Louis discuss the gold and silver miners and what will happen to them next?

Jason says the perfect storm for miners is if physical demand for metal grows, and there's also supply problems.

Jason then asks Louis about the rally in oil, copper, base metals, etc. Louis thinks it's not based on fundamentals and almost all short covering.

Jason then asks Louis what he thinks the world will look like in 10 years? Louis thinks governments will attempt to nationalize all central banks and even big banks and government will attempt to control all credit issues within its borders.

It's a chilling dystopian/authoritative future and we hope he is wrong about it!

Besides accumulating physical precious metals, Louis says investors should be on the lookout for bargain dividend stocks of companies that can generate free cash flow and pay a dividend without using debt to pay dividends.

Jason Burack of Wall St for Main St interviewed returning guest, mining stock expert http://www.goldsilverdata.com/ and author of How to Invest in Gold and Silver: A Complete Guide with a Focus on Mining Stocks, Don Durrett.

During this 30+ minute interview, Jason asks Don why Gold's fundamentals are improving and why big money managers on Wall St are suddenly buying gold?

Don talks about how the US economy is getting worse and how the threat of negative interest rate policy and the stock market rolling over is causing the fear trade to explode. Don says the fear trade is fueling investors to go into cash and gold.

Next, Jason asks Don about the big move in gold stocks and if the bull market has returned?

Don doesn't think the gold and silver bull market has returned until gold clear overhead resistance levels of 1280 and 1308 for gold.

Jason and Don discuss the pitfalls of investing in gold and silver companies and the latest news about the industry.

Wall St for Main St continue their week long series on precious metals by interviewing Brent Johnson, who is the CEO of Santiago Capital and a precious metals investor.

In this podcast, we discussed why Brent left Wall St after the 2008 financial crisis and how he got interested in the precious metals market. We also talked about the recent comment made by former Fed chairman on how the Feds used "heroin and cocaine to create a wealth effect", the volatility in the stock market and it means for investors. Finally, we discussed the precious metals market and the recent surge in prices.

Jason Burack of Wall St for Main St had on returning guest, former Wall St bond trader, investment analyst, gold fund manager, founder of Investment Research Dynamics http://investmentresearchdynamics.com/ and co-creator of the popular Shadow of Truth podcast with Rory Hall, Dave Kranzler.

Dave worked on Wall St for over 2 decades and his articles on Investment Research Dynamics are normally well written and quite insightful about the global economy, gold market, etc.

During this 30+ minute interview, Jason asks Dave about the state of the global economy and if it's one big mess? Dave says calling the global economy a mess implies that things can be cleaned up and he believes things cannot be cleaned up. Dave expects a depression at least as bad as the 1929 Great Depression in the near future.

Jason then asks Dave about the recent rally in stocks, copper, oil and base metals and if it was a short covering rally or if the bottom in oil is real?

Dave thinks this recent rally in oil, copper, etc is 100% a bear market rally or short covering rally without any fundamental justification.

Jason then asks Dave about the banks exposure to the oil market?

Dave thinks the banks are lying to keep larger oil companies from going bankrupt and to make bank balance sheets appear much better than reality.

Next, Jason asks Dave how he finds good shorting ideas for his new paid newsletter, Short Seller's Journal. Dave says he looks for macro trends where entire industries bomb earnings and Dave looks for the worst companies of an industry to short. Jason ans Dave then discuss why many prominent value investors also short companies besides buying bargain value stocks.

To wrap up the interview Jason asks Dave about a bottom in gold and gold mining stocks and what the global economy and US may look like 10 years from now?

Dave thinks gold stocks are very attractive to purchase on dips right now and Dave is buying juniors for extra leverage.

Dave says he has no idea what the world will look like 10 years from now because of the totalitarian policies from politicians and bankers making things worse on basically a daily basis.

Jason Burack of Wall St for Main St and managing editor of The News Doctors http://thenewsdoctors.com/ and independent financial journalist, Eric Dubin are back for episode 16 of the Welcome to Dystopia podcast.  

Jason asks Eric about the price action in gold and gold stocks. Eric thinks the bull market in gold is back and it's very bullish that the gold chart has had its 50 day moving average cross over the top of its 200 day moving average.

Jason and Eric discuss this managed retreat going on in the gold market.

A lot of Wall St managed money is clearly moving into gold from stocks, bonds, etc.

Jason and Eric talk about how more evidence keeps appearing of the real global economy slowing down an worsening.

Former central bankers like Mervyn King are now coming out and saying how another crisis is guaranteed and that the elites of Europe intentionally created an economic depression in Europe.

Jason and Eric also discuss how Venezuela is going through hyperinflation now and a collapse of their government and society.

Jason Burack of Wall St for Main St interviewed returning guest, investment analyst, long time investment newsletter writer and co-founder of Capitalist Times https://www.capitalisttimes.com/, Roger Conrad.

Roger has over 20 years experience as an investment analyst covering dividend stocks, utilities, and oil and energy investments. Roger is well respected in the industry for his acumen finding good income producing companies. Roger's full bio can be found here: https://www.capitalisttimes.com/autho...

During this 30+ minute interview, Jason asks Roger about whether oil prices have bottomed or will go lower before they bottom? Roger and his business partner, Elliot Gue think oil will bottom in the 20-25 range and there's more carnage to come in oil. However, Roger thinks oil will probably bottom before 2016 ends and then it may settle into a wide trading range between 40-60 where it would be "lower for longer" like in the 1980s oil bear market.

Wall St for Main St welcomed back Adam B. Levine, who is the Founder and Senior Editor of Let's Talk Bitcoin! Be sure to check out Adam's podcast and blog at www.letstalkbitcoin.com.

In this podcast, we talked about the recent events that occured in the Bitcoin space in the past month. First, we talked about the impact of the prominent Bitcoin developer exiting and why he declared Bitcoin a failed experiment. Plus, we discussed the block size problem with Bitcoin and how it can be resolved. Finally, we talked about the blockchain technology and much more!

Jason Burack of Wall St for Main St interviewed returning guest, best selling author of the book, The Big Reset, http://www.thebigresetblog.com/ about the changing global economy and commodities fund manager, http://www.cdfund.com/ Willem Middelkoop.

During this 20+ minute interview, Jason first asks Willem about whether another 2008 style banking crisis is happening as we see the share prices of bank stocks including Deutche Bank fall to levels not seen since 2008. Willem thinks a banking crisis is happening as there's over $1 trillion according to his estimates of bad oil and energy loan debts the banks can't write off or absorb that will mean banks are nationalized, bailed out or go bankrupt.

Willem thinks this can be worse than the 2008 crash as this is a global problem of banks going bankrupt as many gave out enormous amounts of oil and energy loans.

Jason asks a follow up question if Willem thinks there's good value for oil stocks that don't have a lot of debt because Willem manages money and invests heavily in resource stocks with his Commodities Discovery Fund.

Willem thinks there's lots of opportunities to make good investments in oil if people know where to look but many oil companies won't survive oil prices this low.

Next, Jason asks Willem about the US Dollar's status as the world's reserve currency (WRC) and the petrodollar with the RMB slated to go into the International Monetary Fund's (IMF) special drawing rights (SDR) basket towards the end of 2016 and what effects this will have on the global economy.

Willem says many countries are already doing currency swaps and bilateral trade agreements outside the US Dollar and that the process of the global economy "de-dollarizing" will continue unabated. Willem doesn't know how long the process will take but that the process is not going to stop.

Next, Jason asks Willem about the rally in gold and silver prices and whether the cyclical bear market in US Dollar terms for gold and silver is over? Willem says he believes the bear market is over although there will be corrections and volatility along the way as precious metals prices move higher.

Willem thinks there's really good value in select gold and silver stocks.

Finally, to wrap up the interview Jason asks Willem if in 10 years they will look back and be amazed at how the powers that be (TPTB) have been able to keep the game going and prop up asset prices and create more asset bubbles and credit bubbles without the US losing the WRC?

Willem thinks the global economy is not ready just yet to completely abandon the US Dollar but there's no need to keep nearly as many US Dollar reserves globally. Willem also thinks there's a high probability of a US stock market crash in the near future and that large amounts of managed money on Wall St is slowly moving large amounts of capital into precious metal related investments building positions for the next leg of the bull market in precious metals to continue higher after this long bear market has finally ended.

Wall St for Main St welcome Nick Giambruno, who is the senior editor of International Man. Nick specialized in offshore banking, foreign real estate, crisis investing and international traveling.

Jason Burack of Wall St for Main St interviewed returning guest, former Wall St investment analyst and current marketing director for precious metals bullion dealer Miles Franklin http://www.milesfranklin.com/, Andy Hoffman.

Andy's articles can be found here: http://blog.milesfranklin.com/categor...

During this 30+ minute interview, Jason asks Andy if he thinks all global central banks are trapped?

Andy says fiat currency is a Ponzi scheme that once started cannot be stopped until it blows up.

Andy talks about how much worse things are getting in the real economy and Jason asks Andy how people on Main st are going to get screwed?

Andy thinks people in the middle class living on Main St, USA will be screwed in as many different ways as possible by the US government, large banks, Wall St, etc.

Jason then asks Andy the consequences of negative interest rates. Andy says large Wall St investment banks have revealed that central banks plan on taxing people up to 4% in the near future per year to keep money in a checking or savings account.

To wrap up the interview, Jason and Andy talk extensively about the gold and silver markets including, if the secular precious metals bull market has returned in US Dollar terms, how bad things are for the gold and silver miners and how difficult is it for American citizens to store physical gold and silver outside the US.

Miles Franklin has meetings coming up in different towns in the US to talk about the global economy and precious metals. If you are interested, please contact Andy or the company for more information.

Jason Burack of Wall St for Main St had on returning guest, Gordon T Long http://www.gordontlong.com/

Gordon is a financial repression expert who has many years of experience working in corporate finance as a Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and as a technology executive and investor. His full bio can be found here: http://www.gordontlong.com/About_Us.htm

During this 40+ minute interview, Jason asks Gordon about why the global credit cycle is tightening and the negative consequences of it happening.

Gordon talks about corporations doing financial engineering to grow earnings without increasing revenues and how leveraged buyouts (LBOs) has exploded since 2008 because of the availability of cheap credit. He thinks the yield curve has been fully distorted to benefit governments, large corporations, big banks and Wall St.

Gordon thinks all of this ties into problems in the bond market, negative interest rates and financial repression.

Next, Jason asks Gordon about the bank stocks collapsing and about a potential stock market crash. Gordon thinks it's likely in the near future and that gold and silver prices have most likely bottomed.

However, Gordon thinks gold will be confiscated or heavily taxed by the US government as it continues to rise in price.

Jason and Gordon discuss how silver may be safer than gold because governments are less likely to confiscate it than gold.

To wrap up the show, Gordon talks about how many more taxes are being layered onto middle class people on Main St, USA and how it will destroy the real economy in the near future until this changes.

Jason Burack of Wall St for Main St interviewed first time guest, technology entrepreneur, investor and resource fund money manager, Matt Geiger of MJG Capital http://www.mjgcapital.com/.

Only 24 years old, Matt is already General Partner at MJG Capital where he invests money for a 10 year time frame for his investors into resource stocks. Matt focuses on juniors, prospect generators and near term producers in different commodities in energy and mining. Matt's fund avoids positions in hydrocarbon industries like oil, natural gas and coal but he pays attention to the entire energy complex because the energy sector is linked.

During this 25+ minute interview, Jason asks Matt about his interesting background and then he asks Matt about buying resource stocks in this environment. Matt is bullish on a number of commodities including lithium, gold, silver and uranium.

Jason and Matt discuss how many new technologies like smart phones and tablets require a lot of metal to go into them that Silicon Valley and Americans take for granted.

This interview is a good discussion about investing in resource stocks in a very unloved industry right now.

Jason Burack of Wall St for Main St had on returning guest, former Wall St trader, author and economic expert Greg Mannarino https://traderschoice.net/

During this 20+ minute interview, Jason asks Greg about the Federal Reserve and global central banks implementing negative interest rates.

Greg thinks because all the major central banks constantly talk and "plan" with each other that it's inevitable that the US will also try negative interest rates just like Japan and parts of Europe are trying.

Greg thinks this will hurt the real economy further and that the stock market is in a slow motion crash.

Greg thinks gold and silver have bottomed due to physical supply constraints and money leaving the stock market and going into hard assets like precious metals.

Jason Burack of Wall St for Main St and independent financial journalist and managing editor of The News Doctors http://thenewsdoctors.com/, Eric Dubin are back for Episode #15 of their new Welcome to Dystopia podcast show.

Topics on this week's show include:
1) Japan going to negative interest rates
2) Some members at the Federal Reserve talking about copying Japan and experimenting with negative interest rates
