July 1, 2016Featured GuestsBob Hoye & James Machuga Please Listen Here: Summary James Machuga, Senior Vice President of Merk Investments Advisor Services, makes his show debut. Merk Investments suggests that every financial portfolio includes gold insurance, amid an environment of global currency devaluation. Due in part to the growing theme of negative interest rates, the medium / long-range outlook for the PMs sector continues to improve. Our guest outlines the options strategies used at Merk Investments, to divine currency volatility and impending market risk. While equities / bonds appear to be overvalued, which might culminate in a considerable bear market correction, the precious metals are more fairly valued. Merk Investments research indicates that the optimal investment portfolio melange requires a 20% gold investment. Merk Investments offers safer alternatives such as a 100% gold backed ETF: (OUNZ). Bob Hoye, senior investment strategist at Institutional Advisors returns with comments on Dr. Greenspan's recent call for a "Gold Standard." Dr. Greenspan is now a professed "Gold Bug," and points out that all central banks keep tons of the "barbarous relic" in their stockpiles. The former Fed Chair notes that under the former gold standard, 1870 to 1913, represents one of the most prosperous periods in US economic history. In the dialogue, Dr. Greenspan placed the blame for the economic mess on Fiscal decision-making, accepting no responsibility for monetary policy. Our guest likens the Brexit to the unshackling of modern feudalism, the fall of London's "Berlin Wall" may represent a great success for freedom. Bob Hoye is also a gold bug - the PMs shares continue to benefit from significantly lower petroleum prices, which decreases overall expenses. The Brexit gave the Fed policymakers a perfect excuse to halt rate hikes and even cut rates if needed in 2017, to the benefit of equities / PMs investors.
