Sep. 16, 2016Featured GuestsJeffrey Nichols and Kevin Kerr                        Summary Jeffrey Nichols, Senior economist of Rosland Capital returns with his latest insights on the financial markets and the geopolitical drama. His work indicates that once the $1,400 gold hurdle is surpassed, the former bull market return in all of its glory, ascending over $2,000. Positive seasonal factors will continue to add upward momentum to the sector, due to demand stemming from Christmas, Hanukkah and Indian festivities.Investors in newly affluent China will cause retailers to increase stockpiles. Despite the remarkable 2016 rally, gold remains a de facto value relative to US equities, making gold an enticing bargain opportunity. Large financial institutions / hedge funds / pension funds are turning to the relatively tiny PMs sector as an alternative to pricey shares / bonds.Solid population growth in China / India will virtually insure robust future demand for the PMs.Kevin Kerr of Kerr Trading International rejoins the show, with positive comments on the upcoming September 30th, US Federal Budget. The current budget deficit exceeds $107 billion, the persistent issue implies the potential for challenging economic conditions on a national scale. Many top guests on this show have championed the idea of a balanced US Federal budget, including Dr. Ron Paul. Unfortunately, the issue remains political kryponite, anathema to the election process. The similarities between the current US equities indexes and that of 2008 are chilling. 2016 is also a Presidential year, with the potential for another 2008-2009 like Great Recession / market meltdown. The duo conclude that every investment portfolio should be positioned / hedged against potential selling. The bottom is in place for the PMs sector, while silver is poised to yield exceptional gains. Among the key drivers sending investors flooding into the PMs sector, continued Brexit-like events in the EU and the potential for negative rates in the US. Despite record crude oil supply levels, the sector could spike to as high as $65 should the CRB commodities index rally persist. Show HostChris Waltzek About ChrisContact Host:[email protected]
