Jason Burack of Wall St for Main St interviewed first time guest, gold and silver expert, The Wealth Watchman http://thewealthwatchman.com/

The Watchman has a popular and rapidly growing You Tube channel with his videos about the gold and silver markets that can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJrY...

During this 35+ minute interview, Jason asks Watchman about why China has decided to stop reporting Shanghai Gold Exchange (SGE) withdrawal data according to precious metals expert Koos Jansen of Bullion Star https://www.bullionstar.com/blogs/koo...

Watchman thinks China doesn't want the world (the West) having a good idea exactly how much physical gold it's importing so it halted the data. He thinks China wants to keep covertly/discreetly accumulating a lot more physical metals. Jason and Watchman also discuss China's plans to start buying up gold miners.

Next, Jason asks Watchman about the ridiculous paper:metal ratios at the COMEX that keep becoming more and more absurd! http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-01...

Watchman thinks before the COMEX, LBMA and manipulation of gold and silver markets breaks that the ratios could go over 1k or 2k to one!

Jason then asks Watchman how he thinks the manipulation will end? Watchman agrees with Jason that gold miners, silver miners and base metal miners that produce a large amount of silver as a by-product will force the people manipulating gold and silver to let prices go higher or supply will become very scarce.

Quality primary silver miners like Endeavour Silver have recently announced they will finally cut production: http://www.mining.com/endeavour-silve...

To wrap up the interview, Watchman tells Jason that the COMEX is started to bleed silver and Jason tells Watchman that the LBMA recently lost 1000 tons of gold http://www.lbma.org.uk/vaulting

Wall St for Main St interviewed Fabian Calvo, who is the Founder of Fabian4Liberty. Fabian is a libertarian blogger, podcaster and a successful real estate investor.

Jason Burack of Wall St for Main St interviewed returning guest, oil and energy expert Robert Rapier http://www.energytrendsinsider.com/. Robert has over 20 years experience working and investing in the oil and energy industries.

Robert's 2 most recent articles that are definitely worth reading:
1) http://www.forbes.com/sites/rrapier/2...
2) http://www.energytrendsinsider.com/20...

During this 20+ minute interview, Jason asks Robert about the state of the oil industry. Jason asks Robert why the oil price keeps falling, what happens if it goes to $15 or $20/barrel and about the supply/demand fundamentals of the industry.

Robert thinks OPEC drastically miscalculated how quickly US shale oil producers would go bankrupt. Jason talks about how easy money from Wall St banks and the Federal Reserve have allowed US shale oil producers to delay bankruptcy longer than expected.

If you are interested in the oil market or looking for investment ideas, this is a good interview for the contrarian value investor or speculator!

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 #14 of the Welcome to Dystopia podcast!

This is the first show of 2016!

During this show, Jason and Eric discuss and review briefly what happened in different markets in 2015 and Jason talks about the new report Wall St for Main St just released free to its email subscribers.

Eric says the derivatives market seems to have started to break in 2015 and this acceleration of asset price deflation should continue in 2016 perhaps leading to a 2008 or worse crash in markets.

Jason and Eric talk about emerging markets, base metals and oil collapsing in 2016 and how all 3 of these may be worse than the sub prime market. Eric thinks there's over $7 trillion in debt from these entities combined that cannot be paid.

To wrap up the show, Jason and Eric preview what listeners can expect in 2016. Jason expects a lot more volatility and asset prices having a meaningful correction and/or crash.

Jason Burack of Wall St for Main St had on first time guest, precious metals expert and founder of Smaulgld https://smaulgld.com/, Louis Cammarosano.

His full bio is available here: https://smaulgld.com/about/

Louis has been a technology company CEO, a real estate investor, and he also worked in the financial industry for many years in London and on Wall St.

In this 40+ minute interview, Jason asks Louis about the global economy and how close everything is to collapse?

Louis thinks the US government and Wall St have financially engineered a collapse in oil price to prevent countries from leaving the Petro Dollar and to bring countries like Russia to its knees.

Jason and Louis spend the rest of the interview talking about the gold and silver markets and about the miners.

Louis says how gold, silver and oil producers will actually keep increasing production to try and delay bankruptcy but they are all close to hitting a wall. After the bankruptcies start to rapidly increase and supply problems ensue, there will be a corresponding price increase.

Louis thinks silver is more likely to have a shortage than gold because so much of it is consumed in very small amounts by so many different industries.

Jason Burack of Wall St for Main St interviewed returning guest, Grant Williams http://ttmygh.com/. Grant writes the popular investing newsletter, Things That Make You Go Hmmm. He also co-founded the new investor education company Real Vision TV https://realvisiontv.com/.

Grant has over 20 years experience working in the financial industry and he's been a money manager and other jobs.

During this 30+ minute interview, Jason asks Grant how bad things are in the global economy since he travels all over the globe often?

Grant says the global economy has slowed down a lot and that the oil market is a major indicator.

Next, Jason asks Grant a listener question about if Russia will go bankrupt because of the low oil price and if it will have to sell any of its gold. Grant thinks there's very little chance Russia or China sells any of its physical gold.

Jason then asks Grant about the collapse in the oil market and emerging market debt problems and if he thinks the crisis is much larger than the sub prime housing bubble?

Grant says there's a global debt problem and either of these things is capable of collapsing the asset markets and the real economy.

Jason then asks Grant a number of WS4MS listener questions about whether the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates, the problems with GLD and about the survival and investment worthiness of gold mining companies.

Grant says in his 3 decades of experience, he has never seen a more hated group of investments than gold miners. He thinks sentiment will change in the near future.

Wall St for Main St welcome Gail Tverberg, who is an oil market analyst and the author of Our Finite World.

Gail has covered the oil market for over a decade and her work can be found on The Oil Drum web site, Peak and Prosperity and other publications.

In this podcast, we asked Gail on thoughts on why low oil prices does not stimulate the economy, how the public and private oil companies is handling the low oil prices environment. We also discussed her outlook for 2016 and why we think we are at the tipping point in the global economy due to high debt. Plus much more!

Jason Burack of Wall St for Main St had on returning guest Austrian School Economist and author, Robert Murphy http://consultingbyrpm.com/blog

Robert's many popular Austrian School of Economics books can be found here: http://www.amazon.com/Robert-P.-Murph...

During this 35+ minute interview, Jason starts by asking Robert about the long term consequences to the interventionist policy of the Keynesian central planners.

Robert talks about the Austrian Theory of the Business Cycle and how while the bust has been delayed, it has also been made much larger.

Jason and Robert discuss Keynesian Economics and why Keynesian Economics won't die. Robert thinks the people in power love it because it gives them the justification to do what they already wanted to do.

Next, Jason asks Robert if he sees parallels to the US now and prior to the 1929 stock market crash and ensuing Great Depression since he wrote a book about the Great Depression of 1929 and the New Deal.

Robert says the 2008 crash resembled the 1929 crash and the roaring 20s were similar to the housing bubble of the 2000s prior to the 2008 crash.

Robert then talks about how the history books have Herbert Hoover incorrect labeled as a proponent of the free market when in fact he was a massive interventionist.

To wrap up the interview, Jason and Robert talk about how Wall St and Keynesians don't count asset price inflation as inflation while Austrians do and why Keynesians hate saving and deflation so much.

Wall St for Main St welcomed back Robert Wenzel, who is the Editor of The Economic Policy Journal. In the podcast, Robert shares his thought on the Federal Reserve rate hike and why he doesn't think they will reverse course anytime soon.

Jason says how he sees a lot of value in oil and energy companies and Dave and him discuss the oil markets and shale oil's potential to become the next major global crisis.

Dave thinks all bond markets are going to need a "reset" in the near future.

Jason asks Dave if the Federal Reserve will try more token interest rate increases in the near future and Dave calls the Federal Reserve, "cowardly."

Jason and Dave discuss asset price inflation and whether people on Wall St count that as evidence of inflation?

Jason asks Dave about his writing about the "War on Cash" in his report. Dave thinks the banksters want to control everything and that's why the war on cash is occurring.

Jason asks Dave about his experiences as a college professor at a prestigious Ivy League school and if his university is restricting free speech?
