Sept. 1st, 2017 Featured GuestsLouis Navellier, John Williams & Lloyd Huanghttp://radio.goldseek.com/shows/2017/09.01.2017/GSR-09.01.17-c.mp3 Show HighlightsLouis Navellier of Navellier & Associates discusses his top portfolio candidates. According to our guest, "Anytime the 10 year treasury yield approaches the S&P dividend yield..." the event presents a serious buying opportunity in stocks. Four factors could lead share prices higher - traditional Labor Day buying. September window dressing, mid-October earnings reports and buying in November ahead of the holiday / January effect. A few of our guests favorite stocks include tech giants Nvidia (NVDA); Applied Materials (AMAT). Shares profiting from a weaker dollar include Ferrari (RACE). Navellier & Associates are monitoring the trade deficit - if the deficit continues to narrow, it could result in a 3% GDP growth rate. The recent geopolitical issues with N.K. have boosted demand for the yellow metal. Louis Navellier advocates allocating a 6-8% core position in gold as the ideal portfolio balancing investment. Alternative economist, John Williams of Shadowstats.com discusses the increase in volatility in the gold market. Our guest discounts the hawkish talk of policymakers, suggesting that the Fed could unleash a new round of quantitative easing (QE). The odds of a lower balance sheet are overstated amid increasing domestic / geopolitical tensions sending the gold price, skyward.The discussion steers to Hurricane Harvey in Houston, a similarly devastating storm as Katrina, which struck the Gulf 12 years ago to the day. Officials fear rains will continue to pommel the Houston area as Harvey steers towards New Orleans (figure 1.1.). The economic ramifications could extend for years to come. John Williams expects housing to decline while the host notes the healthy, 45 degree ascent in the new housing starts index. Amazon.com may soon have viable competition from the new partnership between Google / Wal-mart. The interview concludes with an engaging discussion on the Bitcoin / crypto markets - the market cap continues to soar. The question is raised: How do nearly endless supplies of fiat currencies survive following the introduction of Bitcoin, a limited / instantaneous digital money? SmartRE CEO / Cofounder Lloyd Huang makes his debut appearance on Goldseek.com Radio after an interesting online interview. Lloyd Huang is an electrical engineer who facilitated an $8 billion semiconductor company Semiconductor Manufacturing Int. Inc, (SMI) an NYSE IPO. Similar to a reverse mortgage, SmartRE (pronounced smarter) allows homeowners to access their home equity without going into debt. Homeowners access equity without increased interest sensitivity, in essence a decentralized reverse mortgage. Investors with as little as $1 can benefit from increases in home prices. Lloyd Huang makes a compelling case for a recession-proof business model. Clients have at least 51% equity accumulated in their homes, considerable skin in the game.
