David Jensen: The Vaults Are Almost Empty

David Jensen emailed me recently to say "all hell is breaking loose in the Palladium markets" and as David explains it, the unallocated paper precious metals Ponzi scheme may come unraveled once and for all due to what's happening at the LBMA right now with Palladium. 

The NYMEX vaults are down to a mere 18,000 physical ounces and the Tokyo Commodity Exchange is down to just 600 ounces Palladium.

Max Keiser: Canceling Debt to Avoid Economic Crisis, Debt Jubilee

In this episode of the Keiser Report, Max and Stacy discuss David Graeber’s thought piece about the #GiletsJaunes and how the fact that intellectuals have failed to understand it proves we are living in revolutionary times. 

Graeber notes, as Keiser Report had only last month, that Cantillon effect has created the mass disparity in wealth against which those who must pay for this disparity are rising up. 

In the second half, Max interviews Dr. Michael Hudson, author of the new book “... and forgive them their debts”, about the history of debt forgiveness. 

Hudson explains that the rulers of Byzantium wiped out the savings of rich people by forgiving debts because canceling debts does not cause economic crises but prevents them.

The Fall Of Huawei : CFO Arrested In Canada

Josh Sigurdson talks with author and economic analyst John Sneisen about the fall of Huawei as the share price continues a tail spin following the arrest of CFO Meng Wanzhou in Vancouver, Canada at the extradition request of the United States. 

The tech behemoth out of China has been unrolling the 5G network in the country and has been growing at a rapid rate world wide. Now, countless countries are banning the company and investigating it for "spying".

Of course governments are calling a tech company out for spying while literally spying at a far more vast rate. Huawei is being removed from BT in the UK as countries push inquiries against the giant. 

China is not happy about this recent development and are putting Canada and the United States on blast as trade sanctions and tariffs risk vast market restriction.

The Housing Bubble Is Popping Right Now

As we've been tracking here at Peak Prosperity, the housing market is starting to look quite ill. 

After the central bank-driven Grand Reflation following the Great Financial Crisis, home prices are now beginning to nose over from their new bubble-highs. 

Has the Housing Bust 2.0 begun? If so, how bad could things get? And what steps should those looking to pick up values at much lower prices in the future be taking?

Ted Butler: JP Morgan Silver Manipulation Confirmed

This week's guest has spent a large portion of his adult life, working on knowledge revolving around commodity price discovery, most specifically in the silver market. 

Often within his research are acute questions such as who dictates or mostly influences price discovery? 

What are the How's and the why's for the prices we pay for critical commodities? Early last week, on November 6th 2018. 

The US Department of Justice confirmed much of what this week's guest has been publicly alleging year after year. 

If you have spent any time trying to understand JP Morgan's involvement in the silver market, high chance is you too have come across his spearheading work. 

This week, Ted Butler visits with us, to discuss the FBI's recent receiving of a guilty plea from a 13 year ex-precious metal derivative trader from JP Morgan.

John Rubino: At Some Point the Whole Thing Blows Up

Financial writer John Rubino contends massive bailouts will explode in the next economic downturn, and they will have grave consequences for interest rates and the U.S. dollar. 

Rubino says, “They would say, hey here’s $5 trillion to bail out states and localities across the country. People will see that and will worry about what that means for the value of the dollars. So, they sell dollars, and not just here, but all around the world. The dollar starts to fall, and interest rates start to go up. 

If the dollar is tanking, who wants to lend money to the federal government that is going to be paid back in a depreciating currency? So, our interest rates go up. That causes our interest costs to go through the roof and forces the government to borrow even more.

At some point, the whole thing blows up. There is a number out there when all this will happen. So, the question is what is that number, and when do we hit it?

The concept of fiat currencies will be called into question when all this happens. The dollar might lead this down or some other fiat currency might lead it down.

At some point, they will realize all the fiat currencies are basically in the same boat.

We can’t know the timing of this, but we can know what will do well when this happens, and that is gold and silver.”

JP Morgan BUSTED Rigging Silver, How Big Banks Manipulate Markets

Josh Sigurdson talks with author and economic analyst John Sneisen about the recently exposed rigging of silver markets by JP Morgan despite years of the bank adamantly denying their guilt. 

Even back in 2010 a whistle blower came out against JP Morgan accusing them of rigging silver markets. 

In 2016 the silver rigging lawsuit against JP Morgan was dismissed but brought back to court in February 2017. Well now we have more evidence than ever! 

36 year old John Edmonds has pleaded guilty to one count of commodities fraud, price manipulation and spoofing. He faces potentially 30 years in jail. 

Edmonds has been working at JP Morgan for 13 years and claims senior traders at the bank taught him how to rig the markets for his own benefit. JP Morgan declines to comment, but there's no doubt that this happens around every corner at these banks. 

First of all, keeping gold and silver markets down benefits the banks as people flood away from the banks. Second, it's a desperation move to ensure further wealth insurance at these banks as they reach bankruptcy and see red in their share value year to date. 

Their cash to deposit ratios are absolutely astonishing. Often, the ratio sits around 1%. 

More evidence of why people should stay away from banks and protect their own purchasing power against these entities which are dependent on the dependence of the populace, forcing them into debt servitude.

In producing the series, Maloney has reviewed several thousand years of monetary history and has observed that government intervention and mismanagement -- such as is now rampant across the world -- has always resulted in the diminishment and eventual failure of currency systems. 

As for the world's current fiat currency regimes, Mike sees a reckoning approaching. One that will be preceded by massive losses rippling across nearly all asset classes, destroying the phantom wealth created during the latest central bank-induced Everything Bubble, and grinding the global economy to a halt.

Taylor also says there are going to be some hard times coming. Taylor says, “Are we going to go through some hard times with the civil unrest? This is a transition we are in, taking our country back basically for God and for the people. 

There is going to be a little upheaval, and we are going to have to weather through it. God is still on the throne and is in control. Everyone wants to point the finger and say this is Donald Trump’s agenda. 

No, it is not. This is God’s agenda. We have been asking the Lord for decades for justice, and justice is about to reign supreme on the earth.”

Charles Nenner: Gold Prices Going Up in Coming Deflation

World renowned geopolitical and market cycle expert Charles Nenner predicts gold prices going up during the coming deflation. 

Nenner says, “It will take a little time to rally, but our target is $2,500 per ounce. People say how can you look for no inflation and also see gold going up in price? 

If you look at the history of finance, most bull markets in gold were in deflationary periods, not inflationary periods. Why gold in deflationary periods? If everything loses value, people will run to gold because at least they will have something.” 

On the enormous global debt of $250 trillion, Nenner warns, “In the 1930’s, Roosevelt had the same problem. He had a lot of debt, but because of inflation, he paid maybe 15 cents on the dollar. 

The problem here is there is no inflation. There is going to be deflation. With liquidity problems, when rates go up, we are really going to have a major problem because the money that you owe doesn’t go down, and you have to pay everything back. That is very concerning.”

Eric Eggers: Trump Fights Voter Fraud in 2018 Midterm Elections

Eric Eggers, author of “Fraud: How the Left Plans to Steal the Next Election,” says, “One of the very best people fighting voter fraud is President Trump. 

I don’t think anyone was prepared for having a president talk about voter fraud the way this President has spoken about voter fraud. 

He is encouraging and emboldening authorities to not just make sure that everyone that can vote should vote, but to also make sure that people that should not be voting are not voting. I think that is really the key. For so long, the system was set up with a bias towards voting.

It’s one of the most important freedoms we have, but I don’t think there was that backside piece of protection. Yes, we want everyone that should vote to vote, but we want to make sure that people that shouldn’t be voting aren’t voting. 

President Trump is encouraging people to add that second layer to it. I am sure that does impact some of the electoral and political math.” 

In closing, Eggers says, “There is an effort to make the midterm elections as secure as possible. Let’s just hope if there is illegal voting, it gets caught and the perpetrators are prosecuted and as many true and honest votes count as much as possible.

You clearly have a push by the Democrats to get people to vote regardless of whether or not they should be voting.”

Gold Often has a False Move Before the Big Move

David is a newsletter writer and today he brings us his insights into the market. He is a skeptic when it comes to the junior mining sector. 

He became involved in the resource market in 2003, shortly after losing a good portion of his investments in the dot.com crash. Those lessons helped him look for sectors that are undervalued. 

He feels that “The merger of Barrick and Rand Gold is very good for the sector. At sector tops and bottoms there is a lot of merger and acquisitions. This is very encouraging.” He likes the Rand Gold model along with their criteria for acquiring companies which he also uses when examining mining companies. 

He advises his clients where to be based on the market cycle. Currently, he is staying away from optionality plays. He likes early age exploration with plays good management teams, targets, and properties. 

Gold priced has been hit hard recently by the US Dollar Strength. Unfortunately, the recent bearish dollar has had minimal effect on the price of gold. He says, "Were in a very toppy stock market. It’s advisable to take a wait and see attitude with much of your holdings in cash." 

The Fed removed “accommodative” from their statement Wednesday and shares sold off on the GDX. Leading up to the meeting things were starting to get bullish, but now it appears there is potential for a double bottom in the gold market. 

David describes the services he provides in his newsletter, why it’s different, and how he is geared towards making his subscribers money.

Stephen Jenkinson: Re-Discovering The Value Of Elders

In past eras of human civilization, the wisdom of respected "elders" guided much of the decision-making in society. 

But today, when youth is revered and age is equated with obsolescence and irrelevance, that role and its sage counsel have been lost. It's not that we as a culture don't have desperate need for such wisdom. We do. 

Perhaps more than ever given the intractable and unsustainable issues we face, an over-indebted world economy, resource depletion, species loss, eroding civil liberties, etc.

Large US Banks Rigged the US Treasury Market For More Profits

Victor has over 45 successful years on Wall Street in trading independently with his own money and on behalf of big names and other notable investors such as Leon Cooperman and George Soros.

He has managed futures trading for EAM Group of Companies and global investment banks such as HSBC, RBS and Nomura.

Victor is also the founder, CEO and President of Alpha Financial Technologies LLC. He is also a founding partner, CEO and President of EAM Partners L.P. 

During this 30+ minute interview, Jason asks Victor about his February 2018 article about the stock market topping then and if debt has reached its tipping point and how Victor's views have changed? 

Victor now thinks that emerging markets have reached their limit in terms of debt but he thinks, at least for the short term, that deficits don't matter for the US and that the US will be spared from massive pain until last. 

Jason also asks Victor about his newer article about how large US banks have gotten the rules changed so they make large profits no matter what off buying US Treasuries and funding expanding government deficits. 

Victor also has very interesting thoughts about President Trump, the upcoming 2018 mid-term Congressional elections, how difficult high frequency trading algorithms (HFT) have made it for human professional traders as well as his thoughts on the US Dollar rally, his comments a few years ago about hyperinflation and his views on where we are now relative to his vast past experience in different market conditions and financial history.

The Commitment of Traders report shows the commercials are taking net-long positions in gold and silver futures. 

The banks must have a good reason for going long on precious metals, Kranzler says. In the midst of this, seasonal buying is likely to come soon from India and China. 

As for the economy, is the U.S. doing better than the rest of the world? Kranzler exposes the crisis the U.S. is currently in. The stock market indices are rising, but Kranzler says this is not reflective of a lot of the market. 

Longer term, things could get worse. He says, emerging market crises are bound to affect the U.S. market.

Ron Paul: Inflation In Iran, Will Gold Come To The Rescue?

Iranian monetary policies, coupled with crippling U.S. sanctions, have caused a massive fall in the Iranian rial. 

Some Iranians are using gold to pay their rent, along with other financial transactions. 

Real money like gold always makes its return, but must we constantly wait for financial crisis in order to do the right things?

A V-Shaped Bullish Reversal In Store for Mining Stocks

Matt discusses his latest Investor Letter. In it, he outlines how 2018 seemed like it would be a good year but instead has become a gut punch for investors. 

Matt describes the development that continues behind the scenes in the mining space including takeovers and acquisitions. He doesn’t feel that we are in a bear market, but people are beginning to raise the question. Based on the average length of historical bull markets 2018 looks like a consolidation period before another move up. 

He thinks the turning point is coming soon and will be V-shaped. There are some short-term headwinds and if the slide continues the reason will be the US Dollar. The rate hikes have propped up the dollar, and other countries have not followed suit. Europe remains a mess and is half of the US Dollar Index basket which is working to the dollars benefit. 

The US Dollar has some headwind due to political instability from upcoming elections. If the Democrats take the house, there may be impeachment talks regarding Trump. The US fiscal situation remains poor, and the Republicans have done little to manage the national debt. 

Massive deficits continue, and the Debt to GDP ratio is forecast to continue deteriorating. A lot of high-tier companies have sold off recently and are likely good deals at these levels. Royalty and streaming companies are also good deals as they should be able to ride out the rough periods. 

Lastly, investors should look at private placements because there is competition for capital.

Ron Paul: The Fed Has Created Stagnant Wages In An Age of Plenty

For the vast majority of people, wages have been stagnant since the 1970's. What happened in 1971? Well, that was the year that the U.S. dropped what was left of the gold standard. The major beneficiaries of that fateful decision have been the politically-connected and crony 1%.

Silver Fortune: Emerging Market Currency Chaos

Gold and silver prices ended last week strongly, but worked sideways and downwards throughout this week and will likely end around $1200 oz gold and $14.60 oz silver. 

We will be getting to our week’s interview in a few brief minutes, BUT to begin I want to share with you some highlights from a video I stumbled upon about a week ago.

In the clip are you might recognize such names as Larry Kotlikoff (a professor who often testifies before the US Congress, warning about the our having some $210 trillion dollars in total debts and unfunded liabilities at net present value). 

As well you will se e former head of research at the Bank for International Settlements, William White. And finally the man speaking most of the time, is a german monetary and development economist Richard Werner. 

He speaks frank and openly upon two points we will be discussing this week amongst many others. 

Emerging market currency chaos thanks their recently acquired $14 trillion in US dollar denominated debts, as well as the central bankers wet dream of a future cashless society where central banks can more easily bypass the more traditional fractional reserve based model of today.

Where China Goes, the World Goes

I am a big believer that much of the global economic growth since 2008 has been driven by two factors: Central bank easing, and Chinese economic growth. 

Neither are sustainable tools for growth. China's economic growth in the last 10 years has largely been through a massive creation of debt.

Now, the Chinese government is trying to slowly deflate that bubble in a controlled manner. Regardless of if they do it slowly, or gets out of control, I believe the global economy will suffer.

What The Price Of Metals Says About The Economy

Record low metals prices could be a bad indicator for slower global growth, especially economies outside of the U.S., this according to Edward Egilinsky, Managing Director, and Head of Alternative Investments at Direxion. 

“Right now, with most metals at yearly lows, or multi-year lows, it does say that the economy is slowing down a little bit, at least from a global perspective,” 

Egilinsky told Kitco News. He added that in metals have been particularly sensitive to a strong U.S. dollar this year. “I think the biggest reason why the metals, whether it’s precious or industrial metals, are one of the worst performers this year, is because of the strengthening dollar,” he said. 

According to Egilinsky, contrarians would do well to be bullish on gold right now, owing to a historically high net short position that could cause the yellow metal to rebound. 

He added that alternative commodities, especially grains, have the most potential for gains by year end should the Trump tariffs on China de-escalate.

Gold vs Housing: Which One Is More Affordable?

This graphics compilation shows five examples of properties in some of the most expensive cities in the world that you can rent at or just under $1,200 a month, to match the current gold price level of $1,200 an ounce. 

With gold having reached one year lows on the back of a strong dollar, the yellow metal has been steadily losing its buying power, especially against other hard assets, like real estate. 

Meanwhile, property prices in New York City, the largest city in the U.S., have steadily risen, especially relative to gold. Whereas in 2012, it cost less than 1,000 ounces of gold to buy an average home in Manhattan, it now costs around 1,300 ounces, up 30%.

Lance Roberts: The Markets Are Now Waving A Huge Red Flag

Lance Roberts sees trouble ahead. 

As chief investment strategist of Clarity Financial and chief editor of Real Investment Advice, Lance issues commentary weekly on the financial markets. 

He sees a major market correction/crash dead ahead, likely in early 2019 as the US economy offically slides back into recession -- though he's open to it happening sooner than that. 

Based on the huge debt / deficit excess that have built up in the economy, paired with the tremendous overvaluations in asset prices seen in today's markets, Lance expects economic growth to remain anemic (at best) for the coming decade.

Ted Butler: Why the Next Silver Rally Will Be LIKE NEVER BEFORE

Unlike previous rallies in silver prices, which were crushed as they ran up against JP Morgan’s position, recent data reveals that for the first time ever, JP Morgan has established an unprecedented position to benefit from a long rally in silver. 

Widely followed and trusted silver analyst Ted Butler of ButlerResearch.com visits Reluctant Rreppers for the first time, to declare that the next inflection point in dilver price momentum will be violently different from all previous silver rallies. 

As momentum investors pile on, this time unhindered by J.P. Morgan, silver prices will be capable of rising as never before seen in modern history.

Gold is Turkey’s Only Hope At Saving The Lira

The only chance that Turkey has to stabilize the lira and stop further depreciation is to establish a currency board and anchor the lira to another reserve, like gold, said Steve Hanke, professor of Applied Economics at the Johns Hopkins University and senior fellow at the Cato Institute. 

“Under a currency board arrangement that was gold-based, the lira would trade at a fixed exchange rate to gold, be freely convertible, and it would be fully backed 100% by gold. So, the lira would literally be as as good as gold,” Hanke told Kitco News. 

Hanke noted that under this arrangement, inflation in Turkey would “collapse,” from 100% on an annual basis down to “almost nothing, overnight,” further stabilizing the lira. He added that this currency board arrangement is Turkey’s only option at preventing further lira depreciation at this point, as by definition, capital controls under a currency board with a fixed currency is not possible, and raising interest rates would also not be economically sound policy given the high inflation rate. 

“There’s no way that the lira will stabilize with the current system that they have. The inflation rate, as I measure it, is around 100% in Turkey right now, on an annual basis, and that implies that to get a real yield that’s positive, you’d have to have interest rates over 100% and that of course, that will kill the Turkish economy,” he said. 

Hanke added that Turkey is no stranger to lira collapses, as their currency has witnessed similar rapid depreciation in the past. 

“They’re slow learners,” he said.

Death of a Nation: Dinesh D'Souza and Stefan Molyneux

"Not since 1860 have the Democrats so fanatically refused to accept the result of a free election. That year, their target was Lincoln. They smeared him. They went to war to defeat him. In the end, they assassinated him. 

Now the target of the Democrats is President Trump and his supporters. The Left calls them racists, white supremacists and fascists. 

These charges are used to justify driving Trump from office and discrediting the right "by any means necessary." "But which is the party of the slave plantation? Which is the party that invented white supremacy? 

Which is the party that praised fascist dictators and shaped their genocidal policies and was in turn praised by them? Moreover, which is the party of racism today? 

Is fascism now institutionally embodied on the right or on the left?" "Through stunning historical recreations and a searching examination of fascism and white supremacy, Death of a Nation cuts through progressive big lies to expose hidden history and explosive truths. 

Lincoln united his party and saved America from the Democrats for the first time. Can Trump—and we—come together and save America for the second time?" 

Dinesh D'Souza is a multiple time best-selling author and filmmaker. His latest documentary “Death of a Nation” and the companion book “Death of a Nation: Plantation Politics and the Making of the Democratic Party” are now available in both theaters and retailers.

Eric Dubin & Dave Kranzler: Real Estate, Gold, Silver, USD

Today's mortgage lending practices are nearly as reckless in 2008, Fund Manager Dave Kranzler tells Silver Doctors. 

Eric Dubin says the coming crash will not just be in housing, but across many sectors. Papering over the 2008 crisis has created bubbles throughout the financial system. 

Gold and silver have continued down lately as the U.S. Dollar as risen. Kranzler is skeptical that US dollar strength is the reason for the decline in precious metal prices. 

The Bank of International Settlements (BIS) leasing of gold is the biggest factor, Kranzler believes.
