Episode Description
Michael “Mish” Shedlock argues that the enormous amount of debt taken on by the United States and its citizens dooms our country to a second Great Depression and a future of much lower living standards. He provides convincing evidence that current policies of deficit spending printing money by the FED, even if showered from Ben Bernanke’s Federal Reserve printing press equipped helicopters will fail. The implications for investors if Mish is correct suggests it is a huge mistake to buy back into the stock market now. In fact, investors should be using this rally to sell stocks and raise cash and buy gold and pay off any and all debts. Ideally that would also mean paying off mortgage debt. Mish will provide powerful evidence that there is no way policy makers can escape this deflationary black hole. However, those who prepare for the impending deflationary abyss will be in a position to actually increase their wealth if they act now.

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.
