Episode Description
Every week we are bombarded by economic statistics, most of which are derived from the U.S. government or its bed partner, the Federal Reserve Bank. When the numbers are good, Wall Street rallies and the rich get richer. When they are not so good, they are smoothed out over a period of time. When the numbers are too horrible to publish, new methods using highly theoretical assumptions are applied until a politically desirable outcome is derived so that the party in power can take credit for “good times.” The Federal Reserve Bank stopped reporting M-3, the broad based money supply as it started to surge straight toward the sky. Why did they do so when the supply of money is key to understanding inflation risks? How does the government pull the wool over our eyes regarding the real unemployment rate and the real inflation rates? John will explain and help you understand the truth about our economy and our markets and thus enhance your chances for successful investing.

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.
