Episode Description
Kevin Duffy and John Rubino return as guests this week. Most investors make money in bull markets and lose most of it in bear markets. An exception is Kevin Duffy whose Bearing fund registered triple-digit gains in the 2008 financial crisis. His Austrian school economic perspective paved the way for those stellar 2008-09 bear market profits. But that same perspective did not equip him to excel when policy makers inflated financial markets. He has since developed a strategy for making money in bull, bear or stagflationary markets. Kevin will share his views of the current tumultuous markets as well as some of his current investment ideas published in his Coffee Can Portfolio newsletter. John will join me to discuss his sense of the current markets and share his views on how he thinks investors should plan for what is increasingly looking like a stagflation environment that may in fact be one of much greater magnitude than that of the 1970s. Your editor will pass along some of his investment ideas in his monologue.

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.
