What John said, about "they don't GAF anymore, they're just going for broke"... that mirrors what Chris Hedges said a few years back: "They know the gig is up. They're just smashing and grabbing as much as they can while they run out the door".

First off, the belief that the Federal Reserve would stop raising interest rates was the driving force behind the entire economic chaos. What should we do now that we have a situation where interest rates are crashing? At this point, how would you suggest that I safely allocate $300k?

[@NicoleBarker-he2vp]

Although the market is currently volatile, aren't the current valuations a result of the Federal Reserve's monetary policy and low interest rates? Therefore, my recommendation is that you consult a financial advisor who can give you entry and exit points for the shares or ETF that you are interested in.

[@RusuSilva]

Agreed, my portfolio is well-matched for every market season yielding 85% from early last year to date. I and my CFP are working on a 7 figure ballpark goal, tho this could take another year. IMO, financial advisors are the most sought-after professionals after doctors.

[@williewill1237]

There’s probably two more that we are not aware of.

[@katong1953]

@Boostlagg. It's worse than that. The US is not just having a cold war with China, the Biden regime and neocons actually believe a think tank advisory report of 2016 (or 2015?) that if the US wants to finish off China as a peer competitor, it could have a war with China; but to win it, the US must have that war before 2025. And this is 2024. Also, most Americans don't realize how disastrous it is to rob Russia of its reserves. This is one major factor that caused the worldwide stampede to dedollarize. The problem is not that the Fed and Treasury don't have the intellectual acumen to understand what's going on. It's that there is no practical solution. Extreme discipline and huge sacrifices are needed, which the US doesn't have. The country is trapped in a very bad place, with only bad options to pick from.

Stop measuring in IOUs. Use honest measures. Gasoline was two silver dimes in the 1950's and is STILL two silver dimes for a gallon of gasoline. Get it?

[@kiqueenbees]

The price of gold going up is a measure of inflation. The gold doesn't change, the fiat currencies are relative to gold.

[@ronwinkles2601]

You are exactly correct with silver dimes. In 1950, a silver dime bought you a Mounds Candy Bar and sales tax did not apply. Today, the cheapest Mounds Candy Bar will cost you $1.25 plus 6 to 10% in sales tax. So, two silver dimes today will buy four Mounds Candy Bars and maybe cover the sales tax. However, two silver plated dimes today will not buy you anything.

[@jvz28az]

The Weimar Republic’s hyperinflation is the greatest example. They were a leading economy and hyperinflated by being forced to pay back for all of the costs of WW1. They didn’t accidentally hyperinflate…they were forced to pay for it. Hitler came to power and they joined with Germany and Japan to try and reclaim their land and wealth. These things have very serious consequences that people today don’t understand or even bother to comprehend or learn about. We have more access to information than the rest of human history combined.

The market is unstable and the rich aren't getting definitive answers so they are freaking out. Purchase of art is at an all time high, gold is going up at a steady pace, food is further rising, large industrial purchases are lagging, property prices are at the peak and on the way down as rental property didn't pan out. The Fed has two options: remain steady or increase rates by one quarter of a percent two times this year. There is just too much money in the market and the banks have no clue what is happening...The fed sees this stuff, guys. The only wild card for us investors is to actively engage the market by trading, we always over complicate things when we speculate. It's not about guessing the market's next move; it's about playing it smart and steady during trading...managed to grow a nest egg of around 100k to a decent 432k in the space of a few months...

Great interview Thanks david

[@robblaskovic1973]

Bang on, Great guests! 👍🏻

It's interesting that you guys can't imagine a solution that involves Argentina style massive cuts to the federal payroll? I think it's clearly going to be necessary to cut at least 50% of the federal workforce if not 70%. That will include cuts that eliminate entire agencies such as the CIA. Massive cuts to the federal workforce will dramatically change the budgetary considerations. Even today the government is bringing in more tax receipts than ever before and if you cut large chunks of the expenditures, you can get on top of the debt. Like Millei in Argentina, Trump is going to need to take a chainsaw to work on day one.

[@ace9840]

Agree .. years ago. They’re long past cutting, taxing or any other scheme they can think of to fix this. But its not the end of the world just the end of another debt based fiat currency. It’s an old story told throughout he centuries.

Congratulations to you for bringing out these two brillant and articulate experts and leading the conversation to bring out very important and seldom discussed facts

Serious question… I get that USA debt is at historical highs and personally I struggle to comprehend the size of the numbers banded about. However, Japan’s debt to GDP ratio is somewhere around 250%+ and yet it still continues to function. What makes the USA so different from Japan?

[@user-wl8gu1rt8v]

It doesn’t. It’s the fact that everyone is a self proclaimed expert macro economist today and love spreading that doom narrative… it’s addictive.

[@TylerMarsh87]

Wow. David, you’re going for the downtown east side look. Hahaha jk 😂 (not used to seeing you with the 5 O’ clock shadow) Great content with great guests. Solid video as always.🫡

So they both work in the gold industry, of course they say the dollar will collapse, that's their wet dream. Buffett thinks these guys are full of it.

"Gentlemen, prepare to defend yourselves." The FED is going to continue to protect the system.

[@artemishumaan6984]

Defend will also mean physically. They are trying to destroy the country from the inside out. Who are they? They are the CCP, WEF, S0r0s, and others that need the US to be taken down a notch from world hegemony. The CCP is already funding all these migrants and fentanyl with the objective of destroying the US from the inside out. They know that the American middle class IS the foundation of the USA regardless of what Wall Street thinks and the suits in DC thinks. Between the attacks on the petrodollar that will bring untenable inflation and the riots funded by S0r0s to divide and conquer Americas, they have already past the tipping point of getting this job done. Just have to get your popcorn and watch the movie.

[@MateoHunt]

Great Interview!..

[@thomascook5627]

Thank you

[@barttfisher]

The U.S. economy relies on ongoing credit and debt generation for sustenance. The Federal Reserve is expected to increase the money supply, leading to further debt accumulation for the average American. Meanwhile, foreign nations continue to desire the U.S. dollar, despite their own economies facing significant challenges, some even worse than that of the U.S. This situation raises concerns about who will ultimately bear the consequences of these economic dynamics.

[@HildaBennet]

They do say gold will crash in a liquidity crunch However, many of those holding precious metals are preparing for such an event. So they are unlikely to be forced sellers. The paper market would tank and hopefully collapse.

[@PennyBergeron-os4ch]

I wholeheartedly concur, which is why I appreciate giving an investment coach the power of decision-making. Given their specialized expertise and education, as well as the fact that each and every one of their skills is centered on harnessing risk for its asymmetrical potential and controlling it as a buffer against certain unfavorable developments, it is practically impossible for them to underperform. I have made over 1.5 million dollars working with an investment coach for more than two years.

[@FinnBraylon]

Mind if I ask you to recommend this particular manager?

[@PennyBergeron-os4ch]

Google Sonya Lee Mitchell and do your own research. She has portfolio management down to a science

[@FinnBraylon]

I ran an online search on her name and came across her websiite; pretty well educated. thank you for sharing.
