Andy Hoffman: US Dollar Gold/Silver Bull Market (Finally!) Back?

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.

Greg Mannarino: Negative Interest Rates Coming to the US

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.

Wealth Watchman: Paper Gold, Silver Ratios Getting More & More Absurd!

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

Robert Rapier: OPEC's $1 Trillion Mistake Means Lots of Oil Bankruptcies

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!

Welcome to Dystopia Episode 14: Goodbye 'Eye of the Hurricane,' Hello 2016!

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.

Louis Cammarosano: Gold, Silver Miners Increasing Production Until Bankruptcy?

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.

Jan 26, 2016
Grant Williams: Global Debt Problem Can't Be Fixed

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.

Robert Murphy: Mistakes of 1929 Great Depression Being Repeated?

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.

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.

Next, Dave talks about the junk bond and bond markets and how the global debt binge keeps rising.

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.

Charles talks about how central planning, technology and outsourcing/offshoring has made labor and capital both un-scarce.

Jason and Charles talk about the goals of Keynesian central planning and how it has made capital so cheap that it's easier for companies to invest in robots and automation now than it should be without normalized interest rates.

Next, Jason asks Charles about the current jobs market and how difficult it's becoming to find a good high paying full time job and why most jobs being created are part time jobs.

Charles thinks continued learned throughout one's adult lifetime, working in local communities and finding more work there with relationships with people will be more enjoyable than a corporate job working 70+ hours a week.

Chris Martenson & Adam Taggart: Prosper in Challenging Times

Jason Burack of Wall St for Main St had on returning guest, Dr. Chris Martenson and his business partner at Peak Prosperity http://www.peakprosperity.com/, first time guest Adam Taggart.

Chris and Adam co-founded Peak Prosperity and also created the popular Crash Course video series on the 3Es: Economy, Energy and the Environment that has woken a lot of people up about what's really going on in the world since the video series debuted around 2007.

Chris worked as a corporate executive for a Fortune 500 company before quitting his job and changing his lifestyle and Adam worked on Wall St and was an executive at Yahoo before also quitting his job, waking up and changing his lifestyle as well.

They came on a podcast to talk about their new book, Prosper!: How To Prepare for the Future and Create a World Worth Inheriting

During this 25+ minute interview, Jason asks Chris and Adam about the myriad of problems and craziness going on in the world and why they decided to write a new book now?

Chris and Adam talk about how their Crash Course video series and subsequent book were about identifying all the problems with the economy, energy and the environment and how their new book offers the regular person on Main St a bunch of different solutions to many of these problems.

Chris and Adam talk in the book about how people can protect their wealth, improve their health, change their lifestyle and how to protect themselves and their family and friends against asset prices potentially collapsing in value.

Chris and Adam see painful deflation happening in the near term as asset prices fall and then governments and central banks will drastically over-react and create massive, massive inflation to counter the deflation.

Jason also asks both about how to create a meaningful, prosperous life without chasing every last Dollar.

To wrap up the interview, Jason asks Adam and Chris about Generation X'ers and the Millennials and how they can prosper in the future with the student loan debt bubble, no savings and a very poor job market to find a good high paying job after college.

 Steve St. Angelo: Shale Oil Giant Ponzi? Peak Silver Approaching?


During this 40+ minute interview, Jason asks Steve about his recent article about how the Shale oil industry in the US is collapsing.

Jason and Steve talk about the oil markets and how many higher cost shale oil producers have been able to delay bankruptcy.

Steve calls shale oil a "Giant Ponzi scheme."

Steve is predicting US oil production will collapse in the next few years unless the oil price goes much higher. He also says global consumers cannot afford oil prices above $70/barrel.

Next, Jason asks Steve about the gold and silver mining industries. Steve agrees with Jason that at least half the primary gold and silver miners would be bankrupt already if oil prices hadn't collapsed helping to cut costs or if gold and silver weren't much higher in currencies other than the US Dollar.

Steve thinks silver miners are a great speculative investment considering how cheap they are.

To wrap up the interview, Jason and Steve discuss the supply/demand fundamentals for gold & silver.

Steve thinks a lot of silver mine supply from base metal producers that produce silver as a byproduct will come offline soon as copper and base metals continue to collapse.

Welcome to Dystopia Episode 13 w/ Adam Dick: No Guns For You!

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 #13 of Welcome to Dystopia!

This week's special guest is Adam Dick who is a lawyer and senior fellow at the Ron Paul Institute for Peace & Prosperity http://ronpaulinstitute.org/

Adam's full bio is: Adam worked from 2003 through 2013 as a legislative aide for Rep. Ron Paul. Previously, he was a member of the Wisconsin State Board of Elections, a co-manager of Ed Thompson's 2002 Wisconsin governor campaign, and a lawyer in New York and Connecticuit. Adam helped Ron Paul with his domestic policy.

Adam is also an expert on the 2nd Amendment and he came on the show to talk about his new article http://ronpaulinstitute.org/archives/...

Adam released his article after President Obama's speech/address on Sunday night and the New York Times article about eliminating gun ownership in the US: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/12/05/opi...

For most of this week's episode, Jason and Eric ask Adam about his article, the 2nd Amendment and why Progressives keep wanting to eliminate all gun ownership when in the strictest gun regulation states like California criminals and terrorists still are able to get their hands on guns.

It's a very interesting discussion on the gun debate.

After the lengthy discussion on guns in the US, Jason and Eric talk about the implications of the RMB going into the SDR and how the IMF ignored the protests of the US.

Jason and Eric also talked about the president of Brazil potentially facing impeachment charges for misappropriating funds and corruption and how many other emerging markets are in similar trouble.

Jim Willie: $1 Trillion/month in Reverse Repos Keeping Zombie System Alive

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

This is an interesting 90+ minute interview.

Questions/Topics for the interview include:
• Recently, there was a secret meeting between Russia and a Saudi Prince- Was the meeting about a coordinated oil production cut to move the price higher to save the world's largest oil producing countries? Or about what to do about Syria and pipelines? Or a mix?
• The IMF has said Saudi Arabia can only survive at most 5 years of low oil prices at their current burn rate in foreign exchange reserves before they go bankrupt too. Almost every other OPEC producer has spent most of their oil profits almost as soon as the profits come in and are in much worse shape than the Saudis. Will OPEC be going to China begging for a bailout if oil prices don't rise again soon?
• Some Wall St commodity traders are illegally buying $10/barrel oil on the black market from ISIS. Why haven't the buyers gotten caught?
• In our last interview you talked about a massive oil bust that was coming, but why haven't we seen banks go bust from shale oil loans yet? Is the Federal Reserve secretly bailing these banks out?
• Christine Lagarde of the IMF seems to approve of the RMB going into the SDR very soon but the US government appears committed to blocking the RMB into the SDR. How much longer can the US government block the RMB going into the SDR?
• What happens to gold and silver supply available if many gold and silver mines shut down and miners start going bust?
• Do you think Wall St is planning on buying gold and silver mines up as they go bankrupt?
• Why do you think Wall St banks are starting to rapidly embrace the block chain technology behind Bitcoin? Is this another part of the elite's plan for a cashless society where all transactions are taxed and tracked?
• China is negotiating a large currency swap bailout with Venezuela probably in exchange for a massive amount of oil. Will this be the model how the developing world/commodity producing countries with too much US Dollar denominated debt will strategically default on their US debt and then get financing from China and Chinese banks?
• Do you think currency swaps will be the main bailout tool for central banks going forward?
• In early November, Bloomberg put out an article how Wall St banks are trying to offer discounted interest rate swaps to attract more buyers of these products. Why are the banks trying to sell more of these when there's already so many?

Welcome to Dystopia Episode 12: US Trying to Block China from SDR?

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 #12 of Welcome to Dystopia.

With the horror in Paris, we need to stress that terrorism doesn't
emerge out of a vacuum. Paul Craig Roberts' article on Paris attacks: http://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2015/...

It has a political context, and it's impossible to understand the events in Paris without understanding that ISIS arose from conditions created by U.S. and allied nation policy - including direct financial and training support, particularly from Saudi Arabia
and Turkey playing key roles. The roots of U.S. policy of fomenting
Islamic radical terrorist groups as a tool extend all the way back to
the early 20th Century (led by the U.K.), but the biggest milestone
along the development of this "tool" is best represented by former
National Security Advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski's plan to build-up
Al-Qaeda as a proxy force, setting an Afghanistan "bear trap" to weaken the Soviet Union. This isn't conspiracy theory. It's documented history, and Brzezinski openly boasts about his role.

“‘What is most important to the history of the world?’ Brzezinski said in 1998, ‘some stirred-up Muslims or the liberation of Central Europe and the end of the cold war?’ — it had at least one unexpected result: it created a global jihad movement, led by veteran fighters who were convinced that they had defeated one superpower and could defeat another.” See: http://thenewsdoctors.com/?p=542014

The policy of using radical jihadists as a political tool continues to
this very day. It was only a couple of weeks ago that we had top U.S. military brass and politicians taking to the media and testifying before Congress, arguing for the need for additional so-called "moderate
terrorists" to overthrow Syrian President Assad. These so-called
moderate terrorists are principally the Al-Qaeda spawn al-Nusra Front and related groups. The U.S. spent over a decade presenting Al-Qaeda as the greatest terrorist threat in history, and responsible for 9/11.

Eric discussed how there is a split within the U.S. policy community
when it comes to Chinese renminbi inclusion into the SDR basket. http://mobile.reuters.com/article/idU... You can see an expression of this split given the missives that come out of the "think tank" community.
