Episode Description
Danielle DiMartino Booth, Michael Oliver and Ivan Bebek return. Interest rates are rising but why? Is it because a booming economy is boosting demand for capital and that profits will rise dramatically to justify still higher stock prices? But what happens to the government solvency when it has to pay higher rates on its $20 trillion debt? Can stocks remain elevated with surging rates? What would plunging stock prices do to pension funds? Are there reasons for hope toward more sensible economic polices under a new Fed Chairman? What are the dangers of a return to QE resulting in a weaker dollar and rising commodity prices as both Oliver & Macleod predict? What would a return to QE mean for the dollar, gold and commodity markets in general. Oliver will update us on his latest momentum work on key markets and Ivan Bebek will tell about plans for Auryn Resources this winter in Argentina and overall with major exploration projects in Canada.

Jay Taylor has been able to more than double his newsletter’s model portfolio from 2000 to the present even as the S&P 500 was in the process of losing 50% of its value!
The insights provided to Jay came from a history professor in 1967 who advised Jay that when countries go off a gold or silver standard, hard economic times are sure to follow because nations begin to think they do not need to work hard and save to enjoy a better life. Indeed there is no free lunch and a gold standard reminds people of that every day.
Jay watched his professor’s prophetic words come true when in 1971, President Nixon completely detached the dollar from gold. Not surprising to Jay, the price of gold skyrocketed in the late 1970s as inflation wiped out vast amounts of wealth from average Americans. To protect his own wealth Jay began to invest in gold and gold mining shares and in 1981 he began sharing his success and insights in his newsletter. In 1981 Jay began writing a subscription newsletter that has earned his subscribers countless thousands of dollars over the years.
Jay’s insights as to the real cause of our problems has enabled him to find investment strategies that work. Diagnose a problem correctly and you have a chance for success. Diagnose a problem incorrectly as the establishment does and you are sure to fail.
