With the Ukrainian-Russian conflict, fiscal spending out of control, and 40-year inflationary highs, you ought to see that reflected in the CRB.

Why? This week I'm joined by James West, Publisher, Editor, and CEO of the Midas Letter, the digital business channel for early-stage investors where James covers technology, crypto, battery metals, and alternative medicines.On this episode of The Wiggin Sessions, James shares the real reason for the supply chain shortages, how lithium and other electric car components are disrupting market trends, and what’s up with gold and silver prices. Plus, he’ll even walk us through the real reason Vladimir Putin is so insistent on taking over Ukraine.

Listen in to understand the Commodity Research Bureau (CRB) Index and its history of acting as an indicator of impending financial mayhem. We look at how it can be used to trace the financial crisis of 2008 and how the current CRB is screaming that we are on the brink of a major financial correction, one that might make 2008 look like a cakewalk.
