June 23, 2017 Featured GuestsGerald Celente & Bob Hoye Please Listen Here Show HighlightsBob Hoye of Institutional Advisors rejoins the show with a fresh perspective on the financial markets / cryptocurrencies.His proprietary indicators suggest US shares are reaching bubble territory as speculative euphoria is approaching year 2000 dot.bomb levels. The host / guest discuss Bob's excellent technical chart.The host views Bitcoin as a gold rush, circa the 1995 Dot.com days with the next target after a correction, $10,000 per coin.The guest views the current 3 fold increase in Bitcoin as the ultimate top. An early Bitcoin competitor, LiteCoin blasted higher overnight, on news that investors in China / Singapore would have access to LiteCoin via CoinBase.Unlike the commodities market / dot.com shares bubble, the PTB have virtually zero means to cap the crypto space via naked short-selling. Cryptocurrencies could represent the greatest bubble of financial history with Bitcoin the Google-like model of a new digital revolution.Head of the Trends Research Institute, Gerald Celente returns with grave concerns for the US middle class and the wealth gap.Tens of millions live below the poverty line, 102 able bodied citizens are out of work while a tiny fraction own half the world's wealth. Corporate takeovers oftentimes lead to large downsizing / job cuts, as management seeks to streamline operations.Gerald Celente expects the trend to persist, leading to greater employment risk. Thanks in no small part to Midwest fracking operations, the US is expected to eclipse Russia in gas / oil production, a in turn boosting domestic employment. Record oil reserves and operating oil rigs, have put the price of WTIC under pressure - but once the glut passes, $75-$100 per barrel could unfold. Due to weak domestic GDP figures, Celente and the host concur that the odds of a second rate hike this year are slim. With geopolitical risks ratcheting up, e.g. war in Syria, and potentially in Iran, gold remains the ultimate safe-haven investment asset. Downside risk is merely $1,100, while a solid break above $1,300-$1,400 could springboard bullion to the former bull market peak of $2,000+. Adding to the positive gold story, the recent equities bonanza has diverted attention away from the thermonuclear bomb blast shelter. Investors are advised to procure precious metals insurance and avoid the mainstream propaganda; MacCarthy-like, Russo-phobia. Much of the recent Bitcoin price explosion is directly tied to the decision by officials in Japan to facilitate the cryptocurrency as legal tender, providing a relatively free / anonymous alternative for financial transactions.
