May 5, 2017 Featured GuestsMichael Eastham & Chris Martenson Ph.D. Please Listen Here Show HighlightsMichael Eastham, Founder and President of Fellowship Financial Group and author of Common-Sense Income Strategies, makes his debut on Goldseek. As investors approach the age of 50, their focus should shift away from capital performance to income maximization. Our guest guides clients away from market timing approaches in favor of solid, reliable income strategies. Investors under 50 typically can afford the luxury of higher risk investments, but as retirement approaches the odds of recouping ill-timed investments, dwindles.Developing a 4-7% dividend stream facilitates a comfortable retirement, bypassing the urge to gamble via risky shares. Readers are encouraged to download Michael Eastham's must read investing paper, The Red Zone of Retirement, in PDF format. The duo discuss methods to boost passive, dividend income in the precious metals sector. Chris Martenson from PeakProsperity.com returns to the show, author of the must read book, Prosper!. The guest / host concur, the Great Recession of 2008 never ended; policymakers merely delayed the inevitable day of economic reckoning. His sources indicate that Fed insiders are de facto manipulating the CME futures markets via colocation near the exchanges. Although the precious metals markets have corrected ahead of Fed rate hikes, liquidity actually expanded with approximately $5 billion directed to banks.The USD/JPN currency pair has an approximate 85% correlation with the gold price, offering speculators a potentially lucrative arbitrage opportunity. The precious metals markets may be on the cusp of exciting times amid record demand / supply conditions.Chris Martenson is equally encouraged by severe supply shortfalls in silver output, further evidence supporting the potential for explosive gains. Our guest presents compelling evidence of declining oil discoveries beginning in 2014, leading to shortages by 2018.Expect a rare opportunity to purchase high yielding energy royalty shares at relative discounts. The crude oil sector represents a potential value; OPEC nations continue to flood the market with every available source. Given the cost of $100-$125 per barrel through deep water drilling, the guest / host share an oil price target of $75-$100+.One key caveat: if the economic boom in China slows significantly, demand for crude could experience a temporary pause. Key takeaway: given the expected oil supply shortfall over the next three years, makes accumulating related shares, advisable.
