Interview Highlights

* Rick Rule, Doug Casey, and Louis James spoke recently at Cycle 2025 – http://cycle.liberty.me

* There’s no real indication of a bottom in commodity prices

* Dividend cuts are not done– “not by a longshot”

* The big companies didn’t take good advantage of the good days in commodity prices; instead they bloated their budgets and committed to unsustainable dividend increases

* Nobody is going to cut oil output

* This makes it very difficult for the big oil producers

* Current market conditions favor profitable junior producers over exploration

* The problems in Puerto Rico are real but it’s not Detroit

* The government is making genuine cuts in spending because they have no choice

* This crisis could be good for Puerto Rico in the long run
