Jason and Eric talk about gold and silver markets to start the episode off.

Next, Jason and Eric discuss what central banks like the Bank of Japan, European Central Bank (ECB), Federal Reserve and Bank of England are doing and they discuss GEED: Global Economic Erectile Dysfunction and how it's a new medical condition! (JOKE!)

Global Central Banks are now collectively putting in at least $180 billion per month in global QE http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-07-26...

Jason and Eric also discuss other important current events including:

1) How Social Security just ran a $6 trillion deficit, no one noticed it and why your social security payroll tax on your paycheck may increase 32% in the near future! http://www.forbes.com/sites/kotlikoff/2016/07/17...

2) A White House Report says how US student loan debt will still help the economy (yea, right!) http://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets...

Fabian Calvo: Indebted Students Will Get A Mortgage To Fuel Housing Bubble

Wall St for Main St welcome back Fabian Calvo, who is the Editor of Fabian4Liberty.com. Fabian is a libertarian entrepreneur and real estate investor.

To find out more about Fabian's work, go to Fabian4liberty.com.

In this podcast, we discussed the aftermath of Brexit and the implication it will have on the U.K. We also talked about the sotck market making all time high and why there isn't any sense of optimism from a lot of investors. After all, the PE ratio valuation is higher than it was during the tech bubble! Finally, we addressed the state of the precious metals and real estate market. Fabian expects the government and Wall St to get creative in keeping the housing bubble inflated by tricking the indebted first time home buyers with special mortgage programs.

Chris Martenson: Confidence in Many Complex Systems Collapsing

Jason Burack of Wall St for Main St interviewed returning guest, former corporate executive and phD scientist, Dr. Chris Martenson http://www.peakprosperity.com/.

Chris co-created The Crash Course and Peak Prosperity website with Adam Taggart and they also co-authored their new book, Prosper!: How to Prepare for the Future and Create a World Worth Inheriting in November 2015 https://www.amazon.com/Prosper...


Since he quit his corporate job over a decade ago, Chris has since become an expert on many topics.

During this 40+ minute interview, Jason and Chris have a wide ranging discussion on a number of topics including:

1) Why he thinks gold and gold stocks have rallied so strongly since December 2015?

2) Are mainstream money managers losing all remaining confidence in the Federal Reserve and other central banks?

3) Will the stock market crash if obvious daily stock market manipulations are occurring?

4) Why haven't more shale oil companies gone bankrupt when the oil price went below $40/barrel WTI?

5) Will new technology from Silicon Valley be able to drastically reduce the usage of oil around the globe in only a decade?

6) Why isn't there more clean water available?

7) Many experts cite the Simon–Ehrlich wager from 1980 to 1990 as justifying that over the long term all commodity prices have to fall. But, despite what economic textbooks say should be happening, things have drastically changed since China joined the WTO and commodity prices are nearly all in long term uptrends and the cost of production for many commodities rises 10% or more yearly. What type of real world limits are there preventing commodity prices from declining over the long term that maybe was not seen or not available when this bet was made?

Catherine Austin Fitts: Why Privacy is Over & Taxes Set to Increase

Jason Burack of Wall St for Main St interviewed first time guest, former Wall Street investment banker, macroeconomic expert and publisher of The Solari Report https://solari.com/, Catherine Austin Fitts.

Catherine's bio can be found here: http://solari.com/about-us/catherine/

During this 35+ minute interview, Jason starts off by asking Catherine how she thinks China will deal with the debt problems the country has with its state owned banks and municipalities?

Catherine thinks China will try to address its debt problems by a combination of growing its way out of its problems and also by printing a lot of RMB and then exporting them outside the country like how the US has done for decades with exporting massive amounts of Dollars.

Jason and Catherine discuss China copying the US in a number of ways including militarily.

Next, Jason asks Catherine about global financial repression from all the world's major economies and how economies like Japan, US, UK, EU and China are attempting to manipulate interest rates lower while also manipulating their foreign exchange rates.

Jason also asks where negative interest rate policy (NIRP), a cashless society and the US' war on cash fit into this?

Catherine talks about how governments are working together more to coordinate policy decisions. It sounds like the US is willing to relinquish some control in exchange for a one world government type setup.

Jason then asks Catherine about her January 2016 issue of The Solar Report where she talks about investing in space industry companies and the plans the central planners have for colonizing Mars and space travel.

Catherine thinks this is one of the primary reasons for setting up one world government.

Next, Jason asks Catherine if it will be a minor miracle if the major US stock market indexes don't crash before the November 2016 elections? Catherine talks about how every market is manipulated now.

Jason then asks Catherine about why Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders are becoming so popular on Main St, USA?

Catherine says Americans realized they are being destroy with inflation (currency debasement), taxes and their privacy, rights and civil liberties are being stolen.

Jason also asks Catherine where value in markets is for investors right now. Catherine says hard assets like real estate and precious metals will offer people the best inflation protection. She also says stocks may do well.

To wrap up the interview, Jason asks Cathering if the emergency Federal Reserve meeting with President Obama was due to an imminent bank failure and also possible positive solutions for people on Main St to deal with the wave of increasing inflation, taxes and loss of privacy that things like NIRP and a cashless society are predicting are coming and probably on going to get worse.

Jim's full bio can be found here: http://www.financialsense.com/contributors/james...

During this 30+ minute interview, Jason starts off by asking Jim why he thinks gold & gold stocks have rebounded so much since December?

Jim talks about negative interest rates and how it is very good, in his opinion, for gold and gold stocks.

Jason and Jim discuss the gold market further including how the market is so small that money managers moving into gold can cause big moves in a short amount of time.

Next, Jason asks Jim about the state of the global economy. Jim talks about how the global economy is slowing down and he expects the US to enter into a recession soon with official US government economic statistics.

Jason then asks Jim what, in his opinion, the US shale oil boom has done to peak oil? (since Jim has read hundreds of books about the oil market and interviewed many dozens of experts).

Jason and Jim discuss the global economy further including the European banking crisis, whether China will need to bailout their state owned banks or state municipalities and whether the stock market will crash?

Jim thinks financial repression and NIRP is forcing people looking for income into stocks and that's preventing stocks from crashing. Jim Doesn't expect the stock market to crash in the next 6-12 months unless something major happens.

Jason and Jim also discuss how government is making many problems worse in society and the economy, especially his home state of California.

Jason Burack of Wall St for Main St interviewed returning guest, former technology entrepreneur and Founder and Editor in Chief of The Dollar Vigilante https://www.dollarvigilante.com/, Jeff Berwick.

During this 40+ minute interview, Jason starts by asking Jeff why he thinks the economic & political elites are implementing negative interest rates, FACTA and other capital controls and trying to rapidly devalue their currencies?

Jeff talks about how central banks is a main pillar of communism and how the Keynesians are fascists and are trying to create a new type of brainwashed, broke and destitute serf.

Jason and Jeff discuss how much more the global financial system can take of currency devaluation. Jeff thinks there will be some kind of debt jubilee or rapid currency devaluation in the near future that allows the globalists and elites to start over again with inflation and potentially a one world currency.

Next, Jason asks Jeff about his travels all over the globe and the people he's met and how many people in other countries hate government?

Jeff says lots of people dislike taxes and government and want government to be minimally in their lives or not at all but many don't consider themselves Libertarian or Anarcho-Capitalist because they haven't read the books about it.

Jason then asks Jeff about his recent trip to Caracas, Venezuela and why the country is collapsing and experiencing hyperinflation?

Jason also asks Jeff why he loves Bitcoin, why Bitcoin means freedom more than government issued fiat currency and about gold and silver during this interview.

During this 30+ minute interview, Jason starts off by asking Chris about Brexit and if he thinks it's good for freedom?

Chris says it's too early to tell but that UK politicians, bureaucrats, central planners and Bank of England central bankers are good at screwing things up in the UK economy without help from the European Union (EU).

To wrap up the interview, Jason asks Chris about precious metals, the importance of diversification in one's investment portfolio and whether as a money manager for clients he is worried about counter party risk and bail ins with potential bank failures on the horizon?

Look inside the ECB's asset buying (manipulation) program (of propaganda) http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-06-13...

3) Do you think the economic and political elites were meeting at the recent Bilderberg meeting to discuss how to implement fully digital currencies and a cashless society on a global scale?

Jason then asks Eric why the stock market hasn't crashed yet?

Jason and Eric discuss inflation that's still in asset prices and in the global economy.

Scumbag Nominees:

Erik Townsend: What We Have Now Isn't Capitalism

Jason Burack of Wall St for Main St had on first time guest, Erik Townsend. Erik is a former software entrepreneur who is now a hedge fund manager. He also hosts the new Macro Voices podcast http://www.macrovoices.com/

Listeners may also remember Erik from the past being on both the Peak Prosperity podcasts with Chris Martenson and also the Financial Sense Newshour with Jim Puplava.

During this 40+ minute interview, Jason starts off the interview by asking Erik about his background. Erik talks about how he built a successful technology company and then sold it before the technology bubble popped. Erik then, unfortunately, lost a lot of his money after trusting Wall Street with his money. He then started to learn about investing on his own and how to manage his money himself.

Jason and Eric talk about some of the problems with Wall St and the hedge fund industry.

Next, Jason asks Erik if he thinks central banks are trapped? Erik thinks all the major central banks like the US, Japan, ECB, etc are trapped but predicting the timing of any collapse or market crash is almost impossible. He cautions people to avoid making big bets on the stock market crashing in the short term.

Jason then asks Erik about what financial repression is and how people can protect themselves from it? Erik gives an excellent explanation of financial repression and how savers and investors, who have tried to do the right thing financially in their lives, are being penalized. Jason and Erik discuss how negative interest rates and a cashless society are following financial repression.

Jason then asks Erik about the shale oil boom and what that has done to his peak oil thesis? Erik talks about how easy money and credit from the Federal Reserve allowed any oil driller with a pulse to get $$ to drill uneconomic oil wells.

Erik expects oil to go lower again to the low to mid 30s before putting in a full bottom and he thinks there will be excellent investing opportunities for value investors if that does happen.

Jason then asks Erik why he thinks the stock market hasn't crashed yet? Erik thinks lots of money are coming into the US because they think the US Dollar will remain stronger than other fiat currencies.

After this, Jason asks Erik about robots and automation and how entrepreneurs and younger adults will have to adapt to finding new jobs or creating new businesses in the economy.

Erik says how crony capitalism is making things exponentially more difficult for the economy to create more jobs.

Finally, to wrap up the interview, Jason asks Erik which countries or markets does he see value? Erik is looking for another correction in oil but thinks there will be excellent buying opportunities for investors if that does happen.

Dr. Mark Thornton: We Are A

Wall St for Main St welcome back Dr. Mark Thornton, who is a Senior Fellow at the Mises Institute.

In this podcast, we discussed the rise of socialism in the U.S. and why it has become a popular ideology among the young voters in this election. We also discussed why capitalism has become less popular and what we can do to show the benefits of free market capitalism.

In the next part of our podcast, we discussed the federal reserve decision not to raise the interest rate. Can the Feds raise rates without the economy falling apart? Finally, we talked about the ongoing war on drug and why the government is on the losing side of the war.

Mar 18, 2016

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.

The stock market, the oil market and the gold and silver markets are discussed. 

With this increased intervention, Jason reads his "3 Most Important Rules for Investing in the New Normal" and how much rules changes going forward are going to be a difficult part to figure out.

Frank Curzio: No Technology Bubble...Yet

Jason Burack had on first time guest, newsletter writer and investment analyst Frank Curzio http://www.frankcurzio.com/.

Frank has one of the top investing podcasts on iTunes. Frank's father was a famed newsletter writer and value investor before the internet and Frank worked on Wall St. Frank has also worked for TheStreet.com with Jim Cramer and also with Porter Stansberry.

During this 40+ minute discussion, Jason and Frank start off by discussing the natural resources industry specifically gold, silver and oil. Jason asks Frank if he thinks there's more pain and bankruptcies ahead for the gold and silver miners after Allied Nevada declared bankruptcy this week.

Jason and Frank discuss investing in oil stocks, how to do proper risk control and how difficult it is to be a value investor in resource stocks. Next, Jason asks Frank about the technology sector and if he thinks it's in a bubble like in 1999 like Mark Cuban has recently claimed. To wrap up the interview, Jason asks Frank about the valuations on large cap dividend stocks. Frank thinks most large cap dividend stocks are overvalued but that they will become even more overvalued going forward.
