Keiser Report

Continuing with their look back on 2019 and their look forward to 2020, Max and Stacy look at the year end charts from 2019 as the NASDAQ (up nearly 40%) parties like it’s 1999 when the index closed up 85%. Could 2020 achieve even higher returns? The massive end of year rally in the stock markets matched the Fed’s v-shaped recovery in its balance sheet which ballooned by over a hundred billion per month in the last four months of the year. Should anyone fight the Fed? Or ride their free money helicopter to ever higher highs? In the second half, Max talks to Mitch Feierstein of PlanetPonzi.com about the euphoria in the markets. How long it might last, how big the Fed’s balance sheet might grow. Mitch admits that he had called 2019 wrongly because he looked at fundamentals rather than at the willingness of the Fed to print money with such enthusiasm. How long it may continue is anyone's guess, but the higher the bubble goes, the bigger will be the eventual fall.

Continuing with their look back on 2019 and their look forward to 2020, Max and Stacy look at the admissions of failure from the mainstream media at looking at stories and opinions from outside the metropolitan elite. They also look at passive indexation and how the Boomers are winning (again) at the expense of the younger generations and at what is next for Boeing as their 737MAX disaster continues.

In the second half, Max is joined by bitcoin core developer and author, Jimmy Song, to discuss the year ahead for bitcoin. They also talk about money and monetary policy and how that influences his understanding of hard money like bitcoin.

Continuing with their New Year’s Eve celebrations, the Keiser Report is joined by Dr Michael Hudson, author of Super Imperialism: The Origin and Fundamentals of US World Dominance. Will 2020 see further decline in that super imperialism about which he first wrote all those decades ago? They discuss this and then turn to the upcoming elections in the US and whether or not he believes the stock market numbers will aid Trump. Finally, the discussion takes in Hudson’s views on uprisings globally and whether they herald the end of the age of neoliberalism.

In this last episode of the Keiser Report for 2019, Max and Stacy are going to make some predictions for 2020. It could be a year of GIABO: will we see pitchforks and billionaire taxes? And QE and interest rates – will they go negative this year despite booming markets and joy of the top one percent? Also, as Mark Carney said in 2019, ‘the dollar’s days are numbered.’ Will the US dollar keep its position as a settlement layer? Another really interesting question for a prediction is whether or not Trump will be re-elected. And as the tech unicorns start to blow-up, like WeWork and SoftBank, is that going to go away, or is Elon Musk going to take us to Mars, so we’ll all be saved?

In the second half, Max shares all the predictions with Gerald Celente, the best prognostic guy in Kingston, NY.

In this episode of the Keiser Report from Rio de Janeiro, Max and Stacy ask whether or not Brazil’s economic stars will finally align in 2020. After several years in which the economy has struggled to grow more than 1% per year, could low interest rates and even lower inflation rates finally spark those ‘animal spirits’ recently missing in the economy? In the second half, Max talks to private equity investor and former banker, Robert Wilson, who has lived in Brazil for over twenty years. He and Max discuss the infrastructure spend required to bring Brazil up to developed world standards and look at the investment boom absent despite the low interest rates. They compare and contrast the various states of Brazil and how they add to the overall GDP of the economy.

In this episode of the Keiser Report from Buenos Aires, Max and Stacy look at some of the options on the horizon for Argentina as the new government settles in and tries to revive the economy. They discuss the grains ‘superhighway’ that may end up being built by China as they seek to dredge the Parana River to make way for bulk vessels. They also talk about the statements from Total about the unlikelihood of developing any natural gas from the shale reserves in Patagonia in light of ‘negative prices’ in the US.

In the second half, Max interviews Frederico Ast about building ‘the justice system of the future’ with a dispute resolution system for a globalized online world.

In this episode of the Keiser Report from Buenos Aires, Argentina, Max and Stacy discuss the many root causes of the frequent economic and monetary crises in Argentina. In the second half, Max continues his interview with Nick Giambruno of CaseyResearch.com about the economy of Argentina. They also discuss his recent piece arguing that central banks will push gold prices higher in 2020 as they continue to take physical delivery of the precious metal with record demand.

In this episode of the Keiser Report from Buenos Aires, Argentina, Max and Stacy discuss the pile of impossible to pay IMF debts left behind by the Macri administration. They also look at Trump’s bizarre tariffs on Argentina for an allegedly intentional ‘currency devaluation,’ despite the fact that the government of Argentina blew through $22 billion trying to support the peso. In the second half, Max interviews Nick Giambruno of CaseyResearch.com about the relative calm in Buenos Aires among the population despite the ongoing currency and debt crisis. Nick says the population is used to such a crisis every decade and, so, they are anti-fragile and prepared.

In this episode of the Keiser Report, Max and Stacy discuss the fact that Huawei has built a new smartphone without any US chips. They also discuss billionaire Ray Dalio warning that revolution is coming thanks to the central banks.

In the second half, Max continues his interview with Dave Collum, professor of organic chemistry at Cornell University and a libertarian with an annual year in review newsletter. They discuss ‘rolling loans which gather no losses’ as a strategy coming to an end at the zero bound - unless interest rates go deeply negative. They also discuss the inevitable arrival of Modern Monetary Theory - or money printing for the people.
