Jan. 18th, 2019(S14-E679)Featured GuestsMichael Pento Please Listen HereShow HighlightsMichael Pento, President and Founder of Pento Portfolio Strategies LLCreturns to Goldseek.com Radio with a cutting-edge dialogue on Bitcoin.Fiat money is quickly becoming a true "barbarous relic" thanks to the unsound policies of global central bankers.The host outlines a bullet list of the remarkable qualities of cryptocurrencies "future-money" and the duo engage in a thought provoking debate.The Bitcoin Bubble - the exponential rise of Bitcoin / Cryptos in 2017, where Bitcoin ascended from $1,000 to $20,000 in only 12 months, a 20x advance.The host / guest find parallels with the bitcoin buble and the epic Nikkei market zenith. The host finds similarities with the Dot.com bubble where many companies survived and thrived, such as Amazon, Google and eBay.Governments can shutdown cryptos easily: Mr. Pento notes the small number of BTC holders and core developing team as potential challenges.The host counters with the decentralized nature of many coins and peer-to-peer structure of Bitcoin.Bitcoin remains a national currency of Japan, an extremely techno-friendly country.Crytocurrencies are not money or currencies: Mr. Pento says cryptos are not rare and indestructible.The host counters with the nearly indecipherable nature and immutable aspects as well as the distributed digital ledger.Cryptos maintain value, albeit via highly volatile, an ideal peer-to-peer digital currency solution.Gold is real money but not silver: Gold is the king of currencies, silver is the prince and cryptos share many similar qualities.Bitcoin has been diluted by Forks (similar to dividends) and 10,000 other competing tokens.The host agrees that there is dilution, however, there are also over 15,000 stocks trading on US exchanges and many companies within each industry.Dilution does not detract from the value of cryptos but is de facto evidence of the need for diverse tokens.Cryptos have no value? Mr. Pento advocates digital wealth as a chief means of transferring wealth abroad.The host directs the dialogue to the Bitcoin revolution underway in Venezuela where people are fleeing in droves amid 10 million percent inflation.Transferring wealth across borders is challenging given the $300,000 could price of $3 loaf of bread, according to forecasts.Just 2 years earlier and a gold coin $120,000,000 or $120 million in Venezeula!Parallels are drawn between the numerous inflationary fiasco's from the genesis of civilization until today, including Ancient Greece, Rome, China.100 years of inflation during the 1700's in France is outlined best by Fiat Money Inflation in France (White, 1876), free PDF / HTML copies here.In the last century, hyperinflation ravaged the economies throughout Europe as well as Zimbabwe.Michael Pento outlines his less than favorable $1,300 Bitcoin price forecast via the Pentonomic multivariate-regression model.Russia may purchase up to $10 billion in Bitcoin as a currency diversification according to Zero Hedge.com.

Feb. 8th, 2019(S14-E682)Featured GuestsGerald Celente and Peter SchiffPlease Listen HereShow HighlightsGerald Celente returns from the Trends Research Institute and Globalnomic® Trend Forecaster with key insights.Venezuela is on the verge of chaos as President Maduro faces a coup and perhaps even pressure from US military forces.Already over 3 million people have fled the nation.A key method of transferring their wealth remains gold and cryptos, underscoring the significance of safe haven investing.Some pundits suggest caution as key BRICS nations also seek maintain oil interests in the country and surrounding nations.Mr. Celente fears most of S.A. could face implications for the citizens in the region.The duo concur that the Fed has finished the QT rate hike cycle and will likely return to monetary expansion / QE operations.Last year the combined gold purchases of global central banks reached an epic level.The Trend's Journal predicted the gold bottom at $1,200, missing the mark by only 1%; the low was $1,18.The duo agree that the price may never again test the $1,185 level.Gerald Celente notes the bulk of US bullion may no longer be present in the vaults of Ft. Knox, the NY Fed and West Point. Chris's late father guarded the gold vaults of Ft. Knox; he confirmed gold was present in the 1960's, however over 50 years earlier. Peter Schiff, head of SchiffGold, Euro Pacific Capital, and Euro Pacific Gold Fund (EPGFX) offers his latest financial insights.The US Fed halted QT operations 6 months in advance, hinting in recent "Fed Speak" rhetoric that QE operations could soon commence.The Fed could soon combat slowing global economic conditions and the impact of the trade war between the US and China.Analysts suggest this could lead to runaway inflation, as the Fed's balance sheet was barely reduced before new QE injections.Monetary policymakers are pushing on a string, their QE and rate cut operations are far less effective.This point is revealed by the tiny reduction in their balance sheet during the 10 year economic miracle.The early end of the rate hike cycle is de facto evidence that policymakers are loosing control ahead of an inflationary collapse.The duo concur the opportunity the PMs share is impressive.Peter Schiff expects at least a 50% climb in the price of gold that will launch the leveraged gold shares into orbit.

Jan. 25th, 2019(S14-E680)Featured GuestsCEO Paul Snow & Bill MurphyPlease Listen HereShow HighlightsBill Murphy of GATA.orgreturns to the show with fresh insights on the PMs sector.Palladium is key precious metal in the auto manufacturing sector used primarily for emissions reduction in gas engines.China and other BRICS nations are stockpiling the metal amid a global shortage.The price of Palladium recently reached parity with gold.Palladium's sister metal, Platinum is $400 less expensive and is an excellent substitute metal for palladium.The price differential may present an appealing arbitrage opportunity.Silver also has a highly inelastic demand curve with not just one key application but thousands of industrial uses.If BRICS manufacturers turn their focus towards silver, an epic short-squeeze scenario could erupt.Silver, arguably the"King of industrial metals" could ascend to parity with competing precious metals, 10-100 fold higher.Once investor's passion for paper assets evaporates a tidal wave of capital could flow into the relatively tiny PMs sector.Given that sources seem to indicate that most new money managers were inactive during the 2000 shares bust, the impact of a 3 sigma event could send reverberations around the global financial arena.Factom Blockchain CEO, Paul Snow makes his show debut with an overview of his unique distributed-ledger blockchain.Factom was built from the "ground-up," designed to restore transparency to distributed ledgers via a dual token system.FCT security tokens are separate from the daily operations tokens that resemble forever stamps.The Proof of Work (PoW) is similar to Ethereum Gas, versus Proof of Stake (PoS) such as BitShares.Factom brings blockchain immutability to the ledger system facilitating previously impossible services.Factom improves the real estate sector, restoring faith in transactions, such as loan origination, and closing.Another key Factom use case includes the Internet of Things (IoT) in homes and office networks.Analysts project growth in connectivity with mobile phones, laptops, desktops, TVs, kitchen and household appliances.Most IoT connected devices currently deploy few if any security features, representing a weak point of easy access.IoT networks are vulnerable to attack, creating a threat to the entire network.Factom is already working with the Department of Homeland Security to shield key camera and surveillance devices.Factom thwarts spoofing by highly sophisticated hackers.As such threats become more prevalent Factom will be positioned with first-mover advantage in the IoT eco-space.For added security and peace of mind, the Factom Protocol embeds data directly into the Bitcoin and Ethereum blockchains through the Merkle treealgorithm for merely $0.001 per ten minute hashing cycle, $1.00 per week, $52 annually.

Dec. 28th, 2018(S13-E676)Featured GuestsBob Hoye& David MorganHappy Holidays - Merry Xmas & Happy New Year!Please Listen HereShow HighlightsPart II of the discussion with the head of The Morgan Report includes an update on gold.The PMs sector remains at bargain levels, a relative value to virtually every competing asset class and core of every solid investment portfolio.Gold aficionados may be enjoy a sea-change in market sentiment in the New Year, emerging victorious as the investing champions of 2019.Our guest recently added a new investment newsletter,Energy Stock Profits with options strategies and long-term portfolio plans.The discussion offers words of encouragement to the hundreds of millions of struggling working and middle-class listeners.The power of positive thinking cannot be overstated according to our guest, it is essential to maintain perspective on how fortunate we are.Toxic global debt must be addressed in a cogent, proactive fashion via strong leadership in the US and China.Additional concerns on the horizon: a US government shutdown of 25% of services and the threat of cyber warfare as US public utilities, corporations and even the Pentagon remain vulnerable to external digital-threats, such as zero-day attacks and related hacks.Bob Hoye of Institutional Advisors, and the host discuss the worst US stock market plunge in over 100 years, the "Mnuchin Massacre."The Dow Jones Industrials plunged 1600 points last week, falling 650 further on Monday, recording the worst monthly decline its 122 year history.The equities decline could foment a nascent PMs bull market with the potential to launch gold shares into orbit.However, on Wednesday another record was set, the largest daily point-advance in history, as bulls pushed the benchmark index 1,000 points higher.Investors were reassured that rumors of Jerome Powell's demise had been greatly exaggerated, he will remain the Fed Chairman until retirement.Last Friday in the Market Weather Report, it was announced the US Fed appeared to have finished the rate hike cycle 6 months ahead of schedule.According to the CME's FFF contracts, the probability of a rate hike in 2019 is low for all FOMC meetings.Investors interpreted the news as a sign the domestic economy is not as robust as forecasts suggest.The Fed could likely return to a more dovish stance, reversing from quant. tightening to quant. easing to the benefit of the precious metals markets.After correctly remaining bearish for years, Bob Hoye expects a new PMs bull market in mining shares.Our guest encourages subscribers to consider accumulation of gold shares during price-reactions.

Nov. 23rd, 2018(S13-E671)Featured GuestsAlasdair MacLeod & Arch CrawfordPlease Listen Here Show HighlightsHead of Research at GoldMoney, Alasdair MacLeod makes his show debut on Thanksgiving Day, 2018.Listeners are encouraged to bookmark his weekly commentary at Goldmoney Insights.The Bank of England (BoE) refused to honor its custodial arrangement and return 14 tonnes of gold held on behalf of Venezuela (MacLeod, 2018).Standard anti-money laundering concerns were cited as the chief reason for the refusal.The fact that the lenders of last resort within the central bank cartel are experiencing dissent among the ranks could send reverberations.Actions by the BoE illustrate that the system based on transparency is flawed amid such unanticipated opacity in the financial system.If central banks cannot even maintain trust within their own ranks, how exposed is the typical investor to rehypothecation, confiscation.Alasdair MacLeod notes that sovereign gold ownership has now morphed into a geostrategic challenge within the global economic arena.Russia is rejecting the US dollar as the de facto reserve currency, opting instead to procure gold and silver bullion for a new sound-money currency.President Putin also directed the accumulation of the largest strategic silver stockpile, worldwide.China may have quietly accumulated the largest stockpile of gold in the world in anticipation of a gold backed Yuan, up to 25,000 metric tons.China's hypothesized total of 40,000 ton stockpile plus the hastily growing reserves of Russia are viewed as a hedge against sanctions.Our British guest wraps up the discussion with an eloquent review of the Brexit situation from ground zero.Arch Crawford, head of Crawford Perspectivesfor 41 consecutive years rejoins the show.Our guest advises investors to hold a core position in gold, which could develop a base near current levels.A close above $1,370 would indicate a sign of pent-up bullish demand.Arch Crawford has closed all long positions in US equities and is holding short-term index puts, in case the current consolidation breaks support.The host proposes a 20% correction is a most likely outcome if recent weekly lows are breached.If equities hold support in 2018, next year is expected to lead to new record levels and the epic selloff will be delayed until 2020.Key reasons for the equities downturn include quantitative tightening (QT) where Fed officials are reversing the decades-long constrictive rate policy.Financial history is replete with tales of failed tariffs that rarely bode well in the long-term for countries that adopt the sanctions.Such Fiscal policies attract rent-seeking behaviors that typically line the pockets of political allies, doing little to improve overall economic welfare.The host proposes that corporate officers prepared for imminent tariffs by accumulating key strategic resources.The resulting significant price increases, inadvertently ignited a US equities market advance.Now that corporate warehouses are fully stocked with requisite resources inelastic demand is yielding to more elastic conditions.Tariffs are de facto inflationary resulting in higher prices across the economic spectrum, to the detriment of working / middle class citizens.Two previous failed experiments in US trade tariff policy include, "The Tariff of Abominations of 1825," and the 1930 Smoot-Hawley Trade Tariff Act.Officials are advised to proceed cautiously with the current trade tariffs to avoid a crushing global economic contraction.Last Thursday news that United States and China increased efforts to resolve lingering trade disputes, according to a Financial Times report.The United States and China doubled their efforts to hammer out a reasonable solution to the eight month trade dispute.The potential silver lining to the entire fiasco is being spearheaded by the US President and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping.The meeting is slated for later this month at a G-20 summit
