1 00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:16,279 Speaker 1: Yes, you might have heard the saying in investing that 2 00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:18,800 Speaker 1: you should sell one others are greedy and buy one, 3 00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:22,040 Speaker 1: others are fearful. That's a contrarian view. But how do 4 00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:25,479 Speaker 1: you take the contrary and view without proverbally trying to 5 00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:28,680 Speaker 1: catch the falling knife without being wrong? Well, there's somebody 6 00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:31,560 Speaker 1: that we're gonna sit down with today that is that contrarian. 7 00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:34,239 Speaker 1: I mean, has contrary and views, and he is not 8 00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:36,839 Speaker 1: ashamed to tell us where he thinks things are going. 9 00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:38,760 Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, he has targets for the 10 00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:42,279 Speaker 1: SNP five, for the NASDAC, for the TAO. Um. We're 11 00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:46,440 Speaker 1: gonna get into what's driving that underneath, where those are going. 12 00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:50,000 Speaker 1: We're also going to dive into catalysts on gold, silver, Um, 13 00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:52,600 Speaker 1: what's driving those markets, why they've been dipping, why they're 14 00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:55,240 Speaker 1: going back up again? Um, what you should be looking 15 00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:57,280 Speaker 1: at to understand where they're going, and again, what his 16 00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:01,240 Speaker 1: targets are for gold and silver. We're gonna talk about oil, 17 00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:03,760 Speaker 1: We'll talk about other commodities. UM, we'll talk about the 18 00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:07,560 Speaker 1: bigger picture, like where things are really going, including over 19 00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:10,360 Speaker 1: the next couple of years, including the next decade. Um, 20 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:13,560 Speaker 1: are we gonna see massive inflation. Are we gonna see deflation? 21 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:15,640 Speaker 1: Is it going to be a big crash? And so 22 00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:17,880 Speaker 1: on and so forth. And we're gonna dig into what 23 00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:20,559 Speaker 1: he's looking at, why he thinks that, and where things 24 00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:24,200 Speaker 1: are going. We'll talk about um, the potential melt up 25 00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:27,320 Speaker 1: blow off top scenario, UM, how deep that could go, 26 00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,759 Speaker 1: how long it lasts for um, and so many other things. 27 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,320 Speaker 1: It was a great conversation. Second time I've had um 28 00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:36,039 Speaker 1: David the Contrarian on the channel. UM, you do not 29 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:37,760 Speaker 1: want to miss this. Let's go ahead, just jump right 30 00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:42,399 Speaker 1: into it. Contrarian, he's the contrarian macro advisor, UM, somebody 31 00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 1: that goes against the mainstream. He's got a good voice, 32 00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:46,399 Speaker 1: and so I love to hear. So Dave, welcome back 33 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 1: to the channel again. Yeah, I'm glad to be back. Mark, 34 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:52,280 Speaker 1: Thank you, Yeah, thanks Dave. UM. So, yeah, you are 35 00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:55,200 Speaker 1: Dave the contrarian. Um. You know a lot of times 36 00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 1: I guess the old the old saying people probably knows, 37 00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:58,760 Speaker 1: you know, buy when there's blood in the street, or 38 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 1: um selling others are greedy, and by when others are fearful. 39 00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,040 Speaker 1: So I think that's kind of the contrarian um kind 40 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:05,840 Speaker 1: of tell us about what you do and why you 41 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:09,959 Speaker 1: have this contrary and approach and kind of how that works. Sure. Um, yeah, 42 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,320 Speaker 1: I've been fourty eight years in the business and I'd 43 00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:15,960 Speaker 1: say almost from the get go I was contrarian. Um. 44 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,480 Speaker 1: Kind of learned pretty early on that, you know, the 45 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:23,960 Speaker 1: consensus was not necessarily the rewarding side of things. And 46 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:28,680 Speaker 1: as I say, contrary and investing really means being very 47 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 1: contrary to politic stremes. So when the markets near the top, 48 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,760 Speaker 1: everybody's bullish and you want to be opposite that. When 49 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,959 Speaker 1: the market's near bottom, everybody's pretty parished and you want 50 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:42,079 Speaker 1: to start looking for opportunities. So in the middle, I'm 51 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,800 Speaker 1: not so contrary. And I get a lot of pushback 52 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:48,560 Speaker 1: now because I'm talking about the melt up and being bullish, 53 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,400 Speaker 1: and people go, yeah, you're you know, you're with everybody 54 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:55,440 Speaker 1: else who has been bullish. Um. But it's it's later on, 55 00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:57,919 Speaker 1: as we get closer to the end of this, Um, 56 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 1: I'll get a lot of pushback for being parish and 57 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:02,400 Speaker 1: people say, hey, this thing has a long way to 58 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:05,560 Speaker 1: a goo. So, Um, you can't win as a country 59 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,079 Speaker 1: and you're always kind of on the outside of people. 60 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,520 Speaker 1: And when you're when you're contrary and say you're saying 61 00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:14,520 Speaker 1: something that everybody else agrees with. They want to know 62 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 1: where you're contrary ism is. So it's a tricky thing. 63 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 1: But um, I would say right now, UM, in the 64 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,360 Speaker 1: shorter term, you've got a lot of people looking for 65 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 1: an exit here, people talking about the top uh, talking 66 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 1: about FED tightening and so, um, you know, my melt 67 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,120 Speaker 1: up call is in a lot of ways contrary, even 68 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,680 Speaker 1: though we're you know, kind of the ninth inning of 69 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 1: a long bullmark. Yeah, that's great. So everybody listening, I 70 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,760 Speaker 1: want to die through several things, and we'll talk about 71 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 1: some FED policy. We're gonna talk about inflation, which continues 72 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 1: to keep going higher. Um, maybe the indexes, you know, 73 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 1: what's happening there, what we expect to happen. I want 74 00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 1: to I definitely wanna talk about gold, silver oil, talking 75 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 1: about some political changes, things like that. So for everybody's 76 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 1: stay tuned for all that. We'll get David's contrary and 77 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:06,800 Speaker 1: view on those things. But to your point, David jumping back, Um, 78 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 1: you are the contrarian, and so to your point, like 79 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:11,840 Speaker 1: maybe right now you're kind of in consensus with everybody 80 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 1: about this melt up. But I can say that you 81 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,760 Speaker 1: were calling it even when everybody was very very bearish. 82 00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 1: I'm just curious though, before we start diving too those 83 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:23,680 Speaker 1: individual topics. So, um, how does it work being contrary 84 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 1: at the at the ends? As you said, right, so 85 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:28,720 Speaker 1: like when everybody's bearish or bullish or bullish or bearish 86 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 1: and so um, you know there may be a lot 87 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:32,760 Speaker 1: of people have heard like never try to catch a 88 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:37,479 Speaker 1: falling knife, So um, how do you be contrarian? But um, 89 00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:39,760 Speaker 1: still like not trying to catch that falling knife or 90 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,920 Speaker 1: like wait for that trend to kind of develop. Sure, yeah, 91 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,440 Speaker 1: just keep in mind I'm a strid just so I'm forecasting, 92 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 1: so I may be talking about you know, the the 93 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:55,280 Speaker 1: SMP going to or higher. Um, that doesn't necessarily mean 94 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:58,120 Speaker 1: I'm saying to people you've gotta stay in or you 95 00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:00,880 Speaker 1: should be bullish, because I'm not as a strategist, I 96 00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,680 Speaker 1: can't provide advice. Everybody's got to kind of figure out 97 00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,200 Speaker 1: for themselves how nimble they want to be, how close 98 00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:09,600 Speaker 1: to the edge they want to get. Um. But as 99 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:12,280 Speaker 1: a forecaster, I'm trying to tell you where I think 100 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 1: the top is. So it's not necessarily an endorsement of 101 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:19,040 Speaker 1: what you do from here. It's more just saying, hey, 102 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 1: the top is gonna be higher. Um yeah, hey guys, 103 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,240 Speaker 1: let me just interrupt this interview real quick, just to 104 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 1: plug the show sponsor, and that is block Fi. Now. 105 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:35,360 Speaker 1: Block five is doing amazing things in the bitcoin finance space. 106 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:37,279 Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, they've cracked some really big 107 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:40,480 Speaker 1: news by bringing on the x c ftc UM chair 108 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,640 Speaker 1: Chris gian Carlo Um and they are one of the 109 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:47,599 Speaker 1: most transparent, most heavily regulated UM companies inside the United States, 110 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:49,880 Speaker 1: which gives me a lot of trust into what the 111 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,520 Speaker 1: services are. Now, I've recently did a video talking about 112 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 1: how to retire off of bitcoin, and you can do 113 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:59,240 Speaker 1: that by leveraging debt and interest against bitcoin. And block 114 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:02,559 Speaker 1: five is the number one company in the United States 115 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:05,200 Speaker 1: or maybe in the world to go to and use UM. 116 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 1: They are leading the charges or paying interest on your 117 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 1: bitcoin if you park it with them, or you can 118 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:11,880 Speaker 1: borrow against it. Now, as I broke down in that video, 119 00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,480 Speaker 1: you can borrow against your bitcoin, and when you take 120 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,600 Speaker 1: debt against it, it's not taxable. It's not a taxable event. 121 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:19,320 Speaker 1: You can use that debt for anything that you want, 122 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:21,880 Speaker 1: including to live off of, to leverage up and buy more, 123 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,359 Speaker 1: or roll it into another asset. UM you can do 124 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:26,880 Speaker 1: something like I've done recently, like sell some real estate 125 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,880 Speaker 1: put that money into bitcoin. Now as that bitcoin price 126 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,080 Speaker 1: has risen, I'm able to borrow against it and go 127 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 1: back and buy the same real estate or something similar, 128 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,719 Speaker 1: and I still own the bitcoin, and I also own 129 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:39,800 Speaker 1: the new asset as well. Lots of ways you can 130 00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,400 Speaker 1: do this UM and block five is the company that 131 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,880 Speaker 1: I recommend. Down in the description, I have a link 132 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:46,600 Speaker 1: that you can click on. If you choose to use 133 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:48,479 Speaker 1: that link, you can earn up two fifty dollars in 134 00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 1: bitcoin just for using that link. So check out block 135 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 1: fine now. And that's a good point. So like UM 136 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 1: in a melt up type scenario, when we go back 137 00:06:55,880 --> 00:07:00,839 Speaker 1: and look at you know, market rallies across UM and 138 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,200 Speaker 1: that's a good point. So like UM in a melt 139 00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:05,040 Speaker 1: up type scenario, when we go back and look at 140 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 1: you know, market rallies across multiple sectors, we can see 141 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:09,720 Speaker 1: that most of the growth that comes at that top 142 00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 1: part of that that blowoff, but at the same time 143 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:14,240 Speaker 1: it's also the most frothy, so you might see the 144 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 1: most turbulent. So I guess to your point, you're like, well, 145 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,760 Speaker 1: I'm forecasting, but that doesn't mean there might not be 146 00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:24,040 Speaker 1: draw downs like in that stage or something like that. Maybe. Yeah. 147 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 1: More more importantly I think is that, yeah, volatility can 148 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 1: be very very great that they yeah, because the slope 149 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:35,880 Speaker 1: is getting steeper. Um. But also, um, it's a case 150 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 1: of what comes after the top, and my opinion is 151 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:41,720 Speaker 1: going to be very big. So it's a risk reward 152 00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:45,200 Speaker 1: thing where how you know, nobody's gonna call this thing perfectly. 153 00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:48,160 Speaker 1: Nobody's you know, certainly investors aren't gonna be able to 154 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:50,440 Speaker 1: get in and get out exactly at the top and 155 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 1: then play perfectly unless they're damn lucky. So it really 156 00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:56,640 Speaker 1: comes down to you have to figure out for yourself 157 00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:00,320 Speaker 1: how how close do I want to come to that? Um, 158 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:03,680 Speaker 1: we're in a fairly unique time because I think we're 159 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,040 Speaker 1: at the end of a thirty nine year bull market. 160 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:09,400 Speaker 1: I am what I am calling a historic top that 161 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:14,240 Speaker 1: may stand from many decades. So that means the other 162 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:16,800 Speaker 1: side of this, where I'm calling for a global bust, 163 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:22,440 Speaker 1: is very high risk. So it even though we're close 164 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:25,560 Speaker 1: in time, I think we're gonna see the bus before 165 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 1: the end of this year, we're gonna see a top 166 00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:29,480 Speaker 1: in the stock market, you know, probably in the next 167 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:33,800 Speaker 1: few months. Um, even though we're close in time, the 168 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:37,559 Speaker 1: last leg of this could be in certainly in the 169 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:41,720 Speaker 1: nast that could be or more so, so you're in 170 00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:44,360 Speaker 1: a kind of a unique time where yes, time wise, 171 00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:49,640 Speaker 1: we're almost at the end, but return wise, return is 172 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 1: what we've normally see over a couple of years. So 173 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 1: it's really people have to kind of figure that out 174 00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 1: for themselves, how how close to the vest they want 175 00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:01,640 Speaker 1: to be and how how much risk they to take. Um. 176 00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:04,559 Speaker 1: But understand that, yeah, when you're this late in the game, 177 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:08,160 Speaker 1: risks are high. Returns can be high, but risks are 178 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:12,319 Speaker 1: also high, and you just have to balance the two. Yeah. 179 00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:14,600 Speaker 1: So if we look at some uh, well first first 180 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:16,440 Speaker 1: you said you may not return, so the market could 181 00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:19,160 Speaker 1: blow off, um, crash and then not return for a 182 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:22,280 Speaker 1: couple of decades. That's a pretty big statement. But it's 183 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:24,480 Speaker 1: this this historical precedence to that. So we've seen the 184 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:27,120 Speaker 1: markets take twenty five years to get back to previous 185 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:30,079 Speaker 1: all time high. Um, you know, we've dinna take fifteen 186 00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:31,839 Speaker 1: years to get back to previous all time mines. That's 187 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,400 Speaker 1: really not that big of a stretch when when you 188 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,520 Speaker 1: go back and look historically, but also looking historically, you 189 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:40,960 Speaker 1: can see like the nineties, the nineties Nazdak boom, for example, 190 00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:43,440 Speaker 1: I mean that shot up a hundred percent in the 191 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:46,800 Speaker 1: last twelve months. I think something like tents in the 192 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:52,000 Speaker 1: last eighteen months. So isn't that that big considering some 193 00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:55,320 Speaker 1: of those historical numbers. Yeah, except that we've we've come 194 00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:58,360 Speaker 1: from you know, March, so we're already up a hundred 195 00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:01,960 Speaker 1: percent plus in an aspect. But that extra is you know, 196 00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:05,760 Speaker 1: from that bottom is pretty stepid. Yeah, and I could 197 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,640 Speaker 1: exceed you know, my numbers for sure. The other side 198 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:10,280 Speaker 1: of this, where I say it's not going to return 199 00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:13,400 Speaker 1: to the highs, that doesn't mean there won't be opportunities 200 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:17,680 Speaker 1: after the bus after the bear market. We'll have a 201 00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:21,080 Speaker 1: seclical bull market following the bear market. It's just that 202 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:25,920 Speaker 1: it won't be back to higher highs. And as you know, uh, 203 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:29,320 Speaker 1: there's a mantra out there of you know, stay invested 204 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:33,520 Speaker 1: because markets always going to new highs. Well, right, that 205 00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:36,640 Speaker 1: may not be true in the next couple of decades. Yeah, 206 00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:40,320 Speaker 1: And looking back at that. Historically, I just don't know 207 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:43,000 Speaker 1: why you would want to sit through an draw down 208 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:44,959 Speaker 1: it takes twenty five years to get back to its 209 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:48,920 Speaker 1: previous all time high exactly. I mean most people, even 210 00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:52,200 Speaker 1: even younger people, can't afford that, I mean draw down. 211 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,520 Speaker 1: I mean historically it shows that, right eight draw down 212 00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:57,800 Speaker 1: it takes twenty five years. No, no, thank you, not 213 00:10:57,880 --> 00:10:59,840 Speaker 1: for me. Yeah. I keep in mind that we have 214 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:02,720 Speaker 1: had in the post World War two era, which is, 215 00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:05,280 Speaker 1: you know, the last seventy or eight years, we haven't 216 00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:08,280 Speaker 1: had well. You know, I think the two thousand and 217 00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:12,160 Speaker 1: eight nine sixty six percent draw down the biggest we've had. 218 00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:14,960 Speaker 1: So the last time we had an even draw down 219 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:19,280 Speaker 1: was um so there's a lot of people say, that's 220 00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:23,560 Speaker 1: not gonna happen. You know, that's almost unprecedented. I just 221 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,240 Speaker 1: think we're at extremes here where I think that's the setup, 222 00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:28,120 Speaker 1: where that's the risk is that we're going to see 223 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:33,000 Speaker 1: a you know, percent decline. Yeah, now, before we get 224 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,800 Speaker 1: into it, you know, indexes and commodities and things like that, 225 00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:39,120 Speaker 1: which which will um that. It seems like the catalyst 226 00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,840 Speaker 1: has been I mean, it seems pretty apparent. I wonder 227 00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:44,280 Speaker 1: if you agree, but has been obviously the Fed policy, right, 228 00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:46,640 Speaker 1: I mean, if eight trillion dollars been injected in the 229 00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:49,480 Speaker 1: last twelve months or whatever, and in addition, um, you know, 230 00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:53,120 Speaker 1: trillions of dollars more coming, you know, for infrastructure projects 231 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:56,600 Speaker 1: and and and it seems to me there's no sign 232 00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,520 Speaker 1: of stopping this. And it seems like we really shifted 233 00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:01,559 Speaker 1: from like two thousand eight, which it seems like was 234 00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:04,920 Speaker 1: kind of reactionary, like oh, shoot, the market stop, let's 235 00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:06,880 Speaker 1: go ahead and start injecting money, to where now they're 236 00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 1: like preemptively injecting money. Um and so um, it seems 237 00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:14,320 Speaker 1: like that's been driving it is that what you're seeing 238 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:16,280 Speaker 1: as the catalyst for all these things, And it's so like, 239 00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:18,480 Speaker 1: I mean, how does that end up stopping? Are they 240 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:21,920 Speaker 1: going to stop injecting money? For sure? If you if 241 00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,319 Speaker 1: you look, you know, if you superimpose the market on 242 00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:27,800 Speaker 1: a chart of fiscal and monetary policy, it's the correlation 243 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:31,120 Speaker 1: is very strong. Um. So uh, you know, since March, 244 00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:36,240 Speaker 1: there's no doubt the driving element has been monetary policy 245 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:40,319 Speaker 1: in particular, and you know, coupled with the relief spending 246 00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:44,520 Speaker 1: that we've seen route in response to the pandemic so 247 00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:49,200 Speaker 1: so for sure, Um, it's it's that it's driving things. 248 00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:53,520 Speaker 1: But keep in mind, monetary policy then leads to something real, 249 00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:58,960 Speaker 1: and so we're getting real changes in earnings, dramatic increase 250 00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:02,120 Speaker 1: in earnings, real change in GDP. We're probably gonna see 251 00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:06,080 Speaker 1: the biggest GDP a year that we've had since, you know, 252 00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:10,320 Speaker 1: for decades. Um So is that the biggest, the biggest, 253 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:15,840 Speaker 1: the biggest growth change in GDP, phenomenal GDP and then 254 00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:20,640 Speaker 1: real probably puts inflation is still pretty low. Um So, 255 00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:23,200 Speaker 1: so those are real elements. I mean, people aren't just 256 00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:26,600 Speaker 1: buying air and you know money is just slashing around 257 00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:28,560 Speaker 1: and just go out and buy something that doesn't make sense. 258 00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:32,240 Speaker 1: So there is some logic to it. Um. The problem is, 259 00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:36,679 Speaker 1: um that that I don't believe that that can go 260 00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:38,680 Speaker 1: on forever, or that it can go on for a 261 00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:42,000 Speaker 1: lot longer, because I think we're starting to see the 262 00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:46,160 Speaker 1: downside of printing so much money is inflation. And although 263 00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:50,000 Speaker 1: we haven't in the last forty years had real problems 264 00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:54,160 Speaker 1: with inflation, um, it's starting to break out here from 265 00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:57,160 Speaker 1: long term down trends and the fact is going to 266 00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:01,040 Speaker 1: have their handsful. I think as we moved through this year. UM. 267 00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:05,000 Speaker 1: That's that's really the race here is between the fundamental 268 00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:07,560 Speaker 1: improvements that are coming as a as a response to 269 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:13,240 Speaker 1: the or in response to the monitory and fiscal um policy, 270 00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:17,720 Speaker 1: and the inflation that that's going to cause. That's going ultimately, 271 00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:21,200 Speaker 1: I think, tie the Fed's hands, force them to have 272 00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:24,480 Speaker 1: to tighten. And the one thing that you can be 273 00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:28,200 Speaker 1: sure of is if they do tight this market's up 274 00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:33,600 Speaker 1: on stilts and it will it will respond negatively to that. Yeah, 275 00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:35,880 Speaker 1: I want to Uh, I want to dig into that 276 00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:38,520 Speaker 1: a little bit more. But maybe we're gonna we're gonna 277 00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:41,120 Speaker 1: come back to that because the FED maybe has some 278 00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:45,200 Speaker 1: other tools that they can use to control inflation. UM. 279 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:47,280 Speaker 1: And uh, we'll come back to that. But before we 280 00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:49,280 Speaker 1: do that, let's just jump into a couple of things 281 00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:51,840 Speaker 1: that you've been tweeting about and talking about. UM. So 282 00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:54,280 Speaker 1: follow David on Twitter if you're not already, He's he 283 00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:56,320 Speaker 1: throws a lot of this stuff out there. We'll make 284 00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:58,520 Speaker 1: sure to link to it down below. But some of 285 00:14:58,600 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 1: the things, so if we if you if you jump 286 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:01,520 Speaker 1: into stocks, and we have the you know, the main 287 00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:04,720 Speaker 1: three big stock indexes, UM, you've been saying that they're 288 00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:08,200 Speaker 1: kind of in this consolidation pattern, um, which they kind 289 00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:10,480 Speaker 1: of seem to be if you're if you're looking at them, 290 00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:12,920 Speaker 1: but you think you know, the tech stocks, the growth stocks, etta, 291 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,840 Speaker 1: et cetera. Are still poised to make another run. So 292 00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:18,360 Speaker 1: maybe they're consolidating, building up energy and getting ready for 293 00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:21,920 Speaker 1: that next run. Is that what you're seeing? And if so, why, Yeah, absolutely, 294 00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:24,760 Speaker 1: I think. Um, if you look at particularly the fangs, 295 00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:30,040 Speaker 1: which were obviously the real driving part of last year's run, um, 296 00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:33,160 Speaker 1: they pretty much have gone sideways since the beginning of 297 00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:37,000 Speaker 1: the year. Uh, and you're just beginning to see them 298 00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:40,600 Speaker 1: lift out of that consolidation. Um. They haven't broken out 299 00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:44,240 Speaker 1: the new highs in most cases, but they are um 300 00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:47,000 Speaker 1: that going sideways. And I think that consolidation is pretty 301 00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:49,480 Speaker 1: well over. What what happens is you have a big 302 00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:53,760 Speaker 1: run and then you consolidate. You can either correct with 303 00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:57,400 Speaker 1: big downside or you can correct sideways for a period 304 00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:01,480 Speaker 1: of time, correct over boughts correct um kind of the 305 00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:04,680 Speaker 1: exuberants that everybody thinks they figured out they want to 306 00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:09,960 Speaker 1: own those stocks. Once they become non performers, people start 307 00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:12,680 Speaker 1: changing their mind on them, and that gives you another 308 00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:15,680 Speaker 1: chance to have another leg up. Uh. And that's what 309 00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:18,320 Speaker 1: I think we're on the verge of is that the fangs, 310 00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:23,400 Speaker 1: the tech stocks, NASDAC all have kind of been in 311 00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:27,720 Speaker 1: in a few months consolidation in thanks case longer than that, 312 00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:30,680 Speaker 1: and I think they're beginning to show signs that they're 313 00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:33,400 Speaker 1: going to break out in the next month and have 314 00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:37,320 Speaker 1: another leg up. So I think there's uh, you know, 315 00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:39,960 Speaker 1: what you normally see is that the things that got 316 00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:43,920 Speaker 1: you there, the leadership that that got you through this 317 00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:48,320 Speaker 1: bull cycle, typically goes right to the end, and I 318 00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:50,640 Speaker 1: think tech is going to lead right into the end. 319 00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:52,880 Speaker 1: So you've had a lot of people in the last 320 00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:57,080 Speaker 1: several months and particularly less month or two calling the 321 00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:59,600 Speaker 1: end of FANG and the end of NASDAK and the 322 00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:02,560 Speaker 1: end of tech, saying, you know, they've had their day. 323 00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:05,760 Speaker 1: Now they're gonna get hit hard. Um. I disagree. I 324 00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:08,240 Speaker 1: think there's one more leg up in those before you 325 00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:11,600 Speaker 1: get there, um, and they will be hit hard in 326 00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:15,720 Speaker 1: the bear market. But we're just not there yet. It 327 00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:18,760 Speaker 1: seems like the tech stocks really started to stumble when 328 00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:22,000 Speaker 1: the rates started ticking back up again, and maybe because 329 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:26,040 Speaker 1: tech stocks are so um, you know, debt dependent, you know, 330 00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:29,280 Speaker 1: they need debt to continue to grow UM, and it 331 00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:33,440 Speaker 1: seems like maybe that was causing them to start to stumble. UM. 332 00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:35,360 Speaker 1: Do you see that? Is that something that you're looking 333 00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:37,520 Speaker 1: at and trying to compare against? And then yeah, I 334 00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:42,040 Speaker 1: actually I actually don't think it's it's UM that so much. 335 00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:45,480 Speaker 1: In fact, many of the big tech stocks don't have 336 00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:49,920 Speaker 1: the Christine balance sheets. UM. You know, it's it's lots 337 00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:52,000 Speaker 1: of other sectors that have much more debt on their 338 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,800 Speaker 1: balance sheets. So it's not so much bad as it 339 00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:58,840 Speaker 1: is the tech tends to be UM. It tends to 340 00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:02,760 Speaker 1: be dominated by grow stocks. So with growth stocks, you're 341 00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:07,359 Speaker 1: paying for long term growth UM and and if rates 342 00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:10,560 Speaker 1: go up, you capitalize that growth that ever higher rates 343 00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:14,920 Speaker 1: means you're you know, you're gonna penalize your returns UM. 344 00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:18,040 Speaker 1: So when rates go up, it tends to hurt growth stocks, 345 00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:23,200 Speaker 1: whereas cyclical stocks UM because rates are going up because 346 00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:26,600 Speaker 1: inflation is going up. Cyclical stocks benefit from inflation pushing 347 00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:31,760 Speaker 1: up returns. So it really was more a case of yeah, 348 00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:35,679 Speaker 1: the bond market UM got hit. Interest rates went up. 349 00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:38,080 Speaker 1: You know, we saw the ten year ago from point 350 00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:42,040 Speaker 1: six to one point steven five in a matter of months, 351 00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:46,119 Speaker 1: and you can pretty much correlate that to when the 352 00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:50,040 Speaker 1: fangs in particular, but tech in general, um kind of 353 00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:54,080 Speaker 1: started losing performance and now you know, you get up 354 00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:56,359 Speaker 1: to one seventy five. I was, I think alone are 355 00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:59,720 Speaker 1: pretty close to a loan and calling for rates to 356 00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:03,040 Speaker 1: turn and back down and calling for a one on 357 00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:07,160 Speaker 1: the tenure. We're about halfway through that move, and it's 358 00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:10,680 Speaker 1: not coincidental that you know, tech start living there, lifting 359 00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:14,800 Speaker 1: uh their returns again or outperforming again the last month 360 00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:18,320 Speaker 1: as as rates came down. So I think that continues 361 00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:21,960 Speaker 1: here over the next month or two. Yeah, so the rate, 362 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:23,840 Speaker 1: the rates kind of continue to slide down and then 363 00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:28,800 Speaker 1: the tech stocks continue to slide back up again. Yea yeah. Um. 364 00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:31,560 Speaker 1: So you know, the NASDAC was kind of known as 365 00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:34,119 Speaker 1: the tech index, but now it seems like even the 366 00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:36,920 Speaker 1: SMP is made up and kind of dominated by tech 367 00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:40,480 Speaker 1: stocks as well. So, um, I guess then if you 368 00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:42,040 Speaker 1: if you're looking at the tech growth stocks, I mean, 369 00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:43,760 Speaker 1: both of those indexes are kind of driven by those 370 00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:47,600 Speaker 1: two asset classes or whatever, then that's why you consider 371 00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:50,440 Speaker 1: it or think those will continue higher. And if so, um, 372 00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:53,240 Speaker 1: what are the kind of targets you're seeing there. Yeah, 373 00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:56,160 Speaker 1: My my target on now is back to the seventeen thousand. 374 00:19:56,359 --> 00:20:00,600 Speaker 1: So I think we're almost to the old highs here. Um, 375 00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:02,480 Speaker 1: you know, selling off a little bit today, but we're 376 00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:05,560 Speaker 1: not far off the old high of you know, where 377 00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:08,720 Speaker 1: we were a couple of months ago. Um. And so 378 00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:14,000 Speaker 1: you know, you're looking at probably close to upside from here. UM. 379 00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:19,119 Speaker 1: The SMP I'm looking for and I've said before it 380 00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:23,119 Speaker 1: would not shock me to see five thousand. So um, 381 00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:27,080 Speaker 1: you know from here it's probably fifteen percent, but you know, 382 00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:28,960 Speaker 1: it could easily exceed that, and you could see it 383 00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:34,080 Speaker 1: up um and and and the Dow will will participate. 384 00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:36,800 Speaker 1: They're certainly Tech in the Dow. But I'd also say, 385 00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:40,480 Speaker 1: as much as I think Tech is resuming leadership, it 386 00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:43,479 Speaker 1: doesn't mean the cyclicals are now all of a sudden 387 00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:46,840 Speaker 1: going to rotate out of favor. Um. They've been consolidating 388 00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:50,920 Speaker 1: for the last month. UM. But I think, um, they're 389 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,840 Speaker 1: likely to participate in the upside, just not quite as 390 00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:56,520 Speaker 1: much as as the you know, the fangs and the 391 00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:59,760 Speaker 1: semi conductors and things like that. So I think we're 392 00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:02,320 Speaker 1: gonna to see a fairly broad rally right into the top. 393 00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:05,879 Speaker 1: You know, it's gonna be a lot of groups. I think, Um, 394 00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:10,120 Speaker 1: financials will probably lag because rates are coming down. Um. 395 00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:15,200 Speaker 1: And I've been fighting energy as you know, saying that 396 00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:16,919 Speaker 1: that are due for a pull back here, and they 397 00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:20,280 Speaker 1: keep going higher. You know, they may not pull back, 398 00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:23,720 Speaker 1: but it looks to me like, um, they're overdue for 399 00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:25,680 Speaker 1: a pull back. They've been you know, you've had a 400 00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:29,719 Speaker 1: nice run here from high fifties to over seventies. So 401 00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:34,520 Speaker 1: oil has so I would expect energy to probably lag 402 00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:36,560 Speaker 1: a bit here too, Not that they can't go up, 403 00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:40,160 Speaker 1: but they won't go up as much. Yeah, so um, 404 00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:43,000 Speaker 1: if we jump sectors. But staying on that trend, which 405 00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:45,800 Speaker 1: is uh, you know you talked about the tenure dropping well, 406 00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:48,440 Speaker 1: going up from point six to five and then coming 407 00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:51,160 Speaker 1: back down to one point two. Oh um, it also 408 00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:54,919 Speaker 1: seems that corresponded exactly with gold's drop, right, So as 409 00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:57,240 Speaker 1: soon as the goal as race started going up, gold 410 00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:00,480 Speaker 1: started dropping down. Um. And really it looked like it 411 00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:02,600 Speaker 1: was maybe a combination of the real rates, right, So 412 00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:07,040 Speaker 1: the the rates minus the inflation. Um. Is that is 413 00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:09,040 Speaker 1: that kind of the numbers that you're looking at for gold? 414 00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:10,720 Speaker 1: And is so like what are you seeing there with gold. 415 00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:12,520 Speaker 1: I know you're predicting gold and so we're to still 416 00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:16,159 Speaker 1: making another really good run higher. UM, are those things 417 00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:19,560 Speaker 1: that you're looking at or what else? Yeah? I think 418 00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:23,360 Speaker 1: certainly rates have shown themselves to be a big factor 419 00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:27,600 Speaker 1: in the medals and particularly in gold. Unfortunately, I think, 420 00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:32,320 Speaker 1: or unfortunately or it's just reality. The al goes do 421 00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:35,000 Speaker 1: an awful lot in in the you know, in the 422 00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:39,480 Speaker 1: macro space, and if if they have a certain relationship 423 00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:43,080 Speaker 1: that they I think is important, it's gonna it's gonna play. 424 00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:45,920 Speaker 1: So so they've had it almost as a knee jerk 425 00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:50,080 Speaker 1: relationship that rates go up, gold goes down. Rates good down, 426 00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:53,720 Speaker 1: gold goes up. So I think that's why it's corresponded 427 00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:56,480 Speaker 1: so much. It's not always that tighter correlation, but with 428 00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:59,800 Speaker 1: the all goes out there having the money they push around, 429 00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:03,239 Speaker 1: I think that's part of what this is. UM. I 430 00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:05,680 Speaker 1: think as we move here, certainly to move down to 431 00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:11,200 Speaker 1: one on the tenure and probably one on the thirty 432 00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:16,040 Speaker 1: year UM should help gold ends over, so we'll get 433 00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:18,480 Speaker 1: a big part of the lift I think towards you. 434 00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:21,040 Speaker 1: You know my target on gold is so it's a 435 00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:26,200 Speaker 1: big move from here and sober maybe forty five or fifty. Um, 436 00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:29,119 Speaker 1: it won't all happen before we get to one t 437 00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:33,119 Speaker 1: on the tenure. Um, I think they'll once. Once you 438 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:37,520 Speaker 1: get a pretty significant move from here, then momentum kicks in, 439 00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:42,040 Speaker 1: so it becomes not just interest rates, it becomes you know, um, 440 00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:45,439 Speaker 1: inflation is moving back up. Um, you know, just the 441 00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:49,680 Speaker 1: tape is pushing things. So I think people who think 442 00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:51,720 Speaker 1: it's all rates are going to be surprised because I 443 00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:55,400 Speaker 1: don't think it's all interest rates. Yeah. I think it's 444 00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:58,800 Speaker 1: uh pretty evident to anybody who's paying attention at all 445 00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:01,880 Speaker 1: that all these mark its are so heavily manipulated. Um. 446 00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:04,560 Speaker 1: But it just seems like the gold and silver market 447 00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:07,639 Speaker 1: just to me seems like the most manipulated overall. Um, 448 00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:10,440 Speaker 1: not only because of the you know, giant paper market 449 00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:13,840 Speaker 1: versus physical also the amount of spoofing and things that happen, 450 00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:16,440 Speaker 1: but but the lbm A setting the price of gold 451 00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:18,639 Speaker 1: on a phone call every day as well. How do 452 00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:21,200 Speaker 1: you think those factors like really play into that price 453 00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:24,120 Speaker 1: of gold and silver moving. Yeah, I'm I'm not one 454 00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:29,359 Speaker 1: that that pushes the manipulation narrative. Spoofing is really dealing 455 00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:31,840 Speaker 1: with pennies. I mean, it's the day to day stuff, 456 00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:35,240 Speaker 1: but it doesn't it's not what impacts whether gold goes 457 00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:39,639 Speaker 1: up or down. You know, it's big moves. Um. I 458 00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:43,680 Speaker 1: it's certainly manipulation is part of markets if you want 459 00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:47,000 Speaker 1: to talk about trading desks doing things and you know, 460 00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:52,240 Speaker 1: trying to play um what they see as edges and things. UM. 461 00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:55,800 Speaker 1: But I think people think manipulation meaning the Feds manipulating it, 462 00:24:56,040 --> 00:25:00,359 Speaker 1: or the banks are manipulating because there you know, they're short, older, 463 00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:04,080 Speaker 1: what have you. UM. I'm not such a big believer 464 00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:07,280 Speaker 1: in that, partly because we we saw gold go from 465 00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:14,199 Speaker 1: twur and fifty dollars in two thousand one in eleven, 466 00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:17,520 Speaker 1: so in the decades time, and during that time, there 467 00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:21,080 Speaker 1: was a lot of you know, banks with the same 468 00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:24,359 Speaker 1: positions they have now or in the same situations. So 469 00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:28,679 Speaker 1: where was the manipulation hold rolled down the um? You know, 470 00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:31,920 Speaker 1: I just think it's an easy thing to argue, partly 471 00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:35,399 Speaker 1: because of expectations on the part of investors. There's so 472 00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:39,119 Speaker 1: many investors out there that want to believe in gold 473 00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:41,440 Speaker 1: and want to believe that goal is going to take off, 474 00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:44,399 Speaker 1: and you know, think that all this money printings are 475 00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:48,199 Speaker 1: gonna lead to hyper inflation, etcetera. That when gold doesn't 476 00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:51,040 Speaker 1: move as fast as they think it should, all of 477 00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:53,639 Speaker 1: a sudden they got to find something. You know, what's 478 00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:56,360 Speaker 1: what's going on here that's not real. So I think 479 00:25:56,400 --> 00:26:00,320 Speaker 1: manipulation is way overstated. It's not that it doesn't happen 480 00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:04,760 Speaker 1: or not having influence there. I also think we underestimate 481 00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:09,840 Speaker 1: um because there is um so much retail interest and 482 00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:13,800 Speaker 1: interest in generally in the medals. They get over brought 483 00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:16,439 Speaker 1: very quickly the minute they lift their heads, but shape 484 00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:19,240 Speaker 1: runs in. And I think a lot of the movement 485 00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:22,520 Speaker 1: where they disappoint people without you know, with with the 486 00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:25,719 Speaker 1: fact that they get cut short, is because there is 487 00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:29,200 Speaker 1: so much speculation in them, people wanting them to go fast. 488 00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:32,400 Speaker 1: So I on Twitter, you'll see me say markets move 489 00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:34,760 Speaker 1: when they're ready, not when you're ready. You know, it's 490 00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:37,680 Speaker 1: it's you know, it's not always what you think it 491 00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:42,720 Speaker 1: should do. It's it's you know, markets have lots factors involved. Hey, 492 00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:45,120 Speaker 1: sorry to interrupt this video just one more time. I'm 493 00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:47,960 Speaker 1: not running Google ads. So it's actually way less interruption 494 00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,120 Speaker 1: than I normally would have on a video. And that's 495 00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:53,720 Speaker 1: because it's sponsored by block five um. They are opening 496 00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:56,639 Speaker 1: up the world of bitcoin and financial products offering to 497 00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:59,920 Speaker 1: pay you interest on your bitcoin um better than a 498 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:01,800 Speaker 1: in a rental property that you have to manage and 499 00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:03,800 Speaker 1: control and have the risks. You can just earn interest 500 00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:06,399 Speaker 1: on it, or you can leverage against it. Now, I 501 00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:10,119 Speaker 1: plan to hold my bitcoin forever and literally never sell 502 00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:12,200 Speaker 1: my bitcoin. So how do you do that? Well, if 503 00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:14,280 Speaker 1: I need money, I don't want to sell that bitcoin. 504 00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:16,400 Speaker 1: I'm gonna pay tax on it, all right, I'm gonna 505 00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:18,719 Speaker 1: end up with less and I don't have the bitcoin anymore. 506 00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:20,880 Speaker 1: So a better way to do it is to borrow 507 00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:23,920 Speaker 1: against the bitcoin. So I've put all my money into bitcoin. 508 00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:25,800 Speaker 1: If I want to buy a car, or I want 509 00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:28,400 Speaker 1: to buy a house, I can borrow against it at 510 00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:31,520 Speaker 1: very very low competitive rates. Get my house, get my car, 511 00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:34,399 Speaker 1: whatever that may be, and get to keep the bitcoin. 512 00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:36,920 Speaker 1: I've done a whole video on this. You can find it. 513 00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:38,959 Speaker 1: I'll link it down to the description below. How to 514 00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:41,440 Speaker 1: retire off a bitcoin without paying taxes, and you can 515 00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:44,000 Speaker 1: do that with block fight services. A link to the 516 00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:45,640 Speaker 1: video down below. I'm also going to put a link 517 00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:47,399 Speaker 1: to block fight if you choose to click on that 518 00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:49,040 Speaker 1: link to check them out. You can earn up to 519 00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:51,920 Speaker 1: two fifty dollars in free bitcoin just for using that link. 520 00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:53,800 Speaker 1: And that's it. Let's go ahead and get back to 521 00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:57,360 Speaker 1: the interview. Yeah, you mentioned the two thousand and eight 522 00:27:57,400 --> 00:27:59,840 Speaker 1: so you know, gold crashed along with stocks. I think 523 00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:03,400 Speaker 1: got down to fourteen fifty or something like that, but 524 00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:05,440 Speaker 1: it recovered really quickly. I think it took six seven 525 00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:07,399 Speaker 1: months to go back to its previous high as stocks 526 00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:10,160 Speaker 1: to six seven years. Um. But you know that seemed 527 00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:12,359 Speaker 1: like it was a response to um, you know, the 528 00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:15,240 Speaker 1: seven hundred billion dollar tart bell out and then the 529 00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:18,840 Speaker 1: que that resumed after that, um, and we saw maybe 530 00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:21,920 Speaker 1: just you know, one or two trillion pushed it from 531 00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:27,840 Speaker 1: nine d um. Now we have eight trillion, and so uh, 532 00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:29,560 Speaker 1: we're we're not even able to get past to the 533 00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:32,000 Speaker 1: high we set in two thousand eleven with with one 534 00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:35,080 Speaker 1: or two trillion dollars printed. I mean, if it was 535 00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:38,080 Speaker 1: ever gonna work, it should work now, right. Yeah, I 536 00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:41,000 Speaker 1: want to correct one thing. The balance sheets really only grown, 537 00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:44,480 Speaker 1: um my loose track of numbers, but we're up to 538 00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:50,720 Speaker 1: eight trillion. You know, started in March, uh, wherever we 539 00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:53,560 Speaker 1: were three and a half trillion, So it's not up 540 00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:58,000 Speaker 1: eight trillions, UM, you know, four trillion probably that that's 541 00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:01,560 Speaker 1: a that's a blend of fiscal and monetary Okay, yeah, 542 00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:04,960 Speaker 1: but yeah, I mean I think that money is going 543 00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:09,080 Speaker 1: to have influence. I mean, it's certainly what's driving UM 544 00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:12,000 Speaker 1: the inflation with a lag, and I do think we 545 00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:15,240 Speaker 1: have more than transitory inflation here. So that's I mean, 546 00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:17,440 Speaker 1: that's my story in terms of the bust, is that 547 00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:21,880 Speaker 1: I think inflation does become a real problem later this year, 548 00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:24,719 Speaker 1: and so a lot of this is also the lags. 549 00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:29,320 Speaker 1: Monetary policy UM needs to move through to a point 550 00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:32,440 Speaker 1: where it does drive the inflation, and we're getting to 551 00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:35,560 Speaker 1: that inflection point I think where it's going to become problematic, 552 00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:40,480 Speaker 1: probably by the end of the summer. Yeah, So inflation 553 00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:45,360 Speaker 1: is not transitory. There's some of it is. I mean, 554 00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:49,440 Speaker 1: for sure, the FED is not just um pushing out 555 00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:52,920 Speaker 1: a narrative to give them room to print. I think 556 00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:57,080 Speaker 1: there really is some that is applied chain oriented and 557 00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:01,000 Speaker 1: can go away once, you know, things get cleared up. 558 00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:04,800 Speaker 1: We really had a situation where for many years the 559 00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:09,040 Speaker 1: industrial side of the economy were wide was not the 560 00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:12,520 Speaker 1: driving element. It was the consumer and here and you 561 00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:15,000 Speaker 1: know here in the last year and a half, with 562 00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:16,920 Speaker 1: with all the money that's been printed not just by 563 00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:19,640 Speaker 1: the FED but by central branks around the world and 564 00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:22,360 Speaker 1: everything going on you know in Europe and China, in 565 00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:26,520 Speaker 1: the US and Canada, Australia, etcetera. It's all come together 566 00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:31,800 Speaker 1: to push out this this huge demand for for materials. 567 00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:38,200 Speaker 1: And yet the materials companies had had kind of ratcheted 568 00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:40,560 Speaker 1: down their capacity because they never thought they were going 569 00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:42,840 Speaker 1: to see that kind of demand again. So we've had 570 00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:46,000 Speaker 1: this big ramp up in demand and the companies are 571 00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:48,960 Speaker 1: just not able to produce to meet that demand. That 572 00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:52,520 Speaker 1: ramp up will at some point slow down and they 573 00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:55,680 Speaker 1: can catch up somewhat. So so that part of it 574 00:30:55,760 --> 00:31:00,320 Speaker 1: is transitory. But ultimately you can label it trying story 575 00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:04,080 Speaker 1: or whatever they want to. If inflation really starts to 576 00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:08,160 Speaker 1: heat up even more, um by fall, I don't think 577 00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:11,080 Speaker 1: I can just say, hey, we have you know, we're 578 00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:13,040 Speaker 1: just gonna bank on our faith to the trans story. 579 00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:18,120 Speaker 1: I think they're gonna have to react, which means okay, 580 00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:21,600 Speaker 1: so let's uh, let's let's add a little flavor onto 581 00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:24,600 Speaker 1: this for a minute. So UM, I know you know, 582 00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:27,640 Speaker 1: we talked about finance stuff, and UM, I get comments 583 00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:29,840 Speaker 1: a lot if I dip into this, But like I 584 00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:31,520 Speaker 1: listened to you for finance, I don't want to listen 585 00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:34,360 Speaker 1: to you about politics. UM. But you can't really understand 586 00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:37,360 Speaker 1: one without the other, right, because it's the political uh 587 00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:40,239 Speaker 1: initiatives that go in that seem to drive this. And 588 00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:43,360 Speaker 1: so we can see there's obviously like these these these 589 00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:46,840 Speaker 1: political changes that are happening UM. And so we can 590 00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:50,520 Speaker 1: see there's this shift to moving two more U B I. 591 00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:53,120 Speaker 1: So we can see there's a shift of you know, 592 00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:55,680 Speaker 1: the political movement kind of going to one side. So 593 00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:58,960 Speaker 1: we're seeing you know, more E S G narratives that 594 00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:01,920 Speaker 1: are you know, wanting to kind control and capture UM 595 00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:04,440 Speaker 1: the way businesses work. And at the same time, a 596 00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:07,640 Speaker 1: shift to you know, more UBI money printing, more infrastructure 597 00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:11,440 Speaker 1: printing and stuff like that. UM. And then so I'm 598 00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:14,960 Speaker 1: curious how you look at those too affect your outlooks 599 00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:18,160 Speaker 1: on things. So, for example, UM, in the United States 600 00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:20,240 Speaker 1: and most of the developed world, there's this huge push 601 00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:24,400 Speaker 1: to move to renewable cars, right, no more ice combustion engines. 602 00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:27,040 Speaker 1: We want to move to renewables. So how does that 603 00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:30,960 Speaker 1: affect oil. Um, your your outlook on oil, I should say, 604 00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:34,040 Speaker 1: and then also other assets or I should say commodities 605 00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:36,640 Speaker 1: like lithium or cobalt and things like that. Do you 606 00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:40,520 Speaker 1: do you take those things into consideration? UM? Yes, definitely. 607 00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:43,080 Speaker 1: I mean, but my my feeling is on the oil 608 00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:47,920 Speaker 1: UM that we you know, you have policy out there 609 00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:52,920 Speaker 1: pushing a certain view. It's not realistic in terms of 610 00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:55,400 Speaker 1: their time frame of when you're gonna be able to 611 00:32:55,840 --> 00:33:01,360 Speaker 1: produce enough energy from alternatives, etcetera to meet the demand. 612 00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:04,520 Speaker 1: So that means oil is not going away anytime soon. 613 00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:08,920 Speaker 1: And in fact, because your policy is also UM trying 614 00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:13,200 Speaker 1: to limit carbon fuels because you think they're evil or 615 00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:17,000 Speaker 1: what have you, or polluting, UM, you're gonna run into 616 00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:19,440 Speaker 1: a situation where we're not going to have and you know, 617 00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:24,040 Speaker 1: we're gonna have a tight supply demand situation. And as 618 00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:26,320 Speaker 1: a result, it's gonna you know, the thing that gives 619 00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:29,240 Speaker 1: when you have a very tight supply demand situation as price. 620 00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:34,000 Speaker 1: So that's part of my forecast out probably in seven 621 00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:38,440 Speaker 1: is that we'll see three plus oil and that's because 622 00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:42,680 Speaker 1: they've restricted the supply artificially by shutting it down, but 623 00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:47,080 Speaker 1: the demand hasn't really gone away, and and the demand 624 00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:50,240 Speaker 1: because we're gonna see and I'm jumping ahead, but if 625 00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:54,080 Speaker 1: we have a global bust, which I am forecasting, and 626 00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:58,479 Speaker 1: I define a bust does something that's almost um in 627 00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:01,320 Speaker 1: many respects like the shild but happens at the speed 628 00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:05,040 Speaker 1: of a recession. If we have a global bus, you're 629 00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:08,560 Speaker 1: going to see a response from montary and fiscal authorities. 630 00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:11,640 Speaker 1: That's many times what we've seen in the last year 631 00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:14,640 Speaker 1: and a half. So many times that's a huge statement. 632 00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:17,239 Speaker 1: I mean, we've we've seen something here that we've never 633 00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:20,920 Speaker 1: seen before. If you then multiply that by several times, 634 00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:25,040 Speaker 1: that will then spur big demand in the next cycle. 635 00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:28,239 Speaker 1: For you know, the materials that we're seeing already are 636 00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:31,759 Speaker 1: in short supply, So the next cycle, I think there's 637 00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:35,920 Speaker 1: going to be huge not only supply issue, but a 638 00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:39,959 Speaker 1: big demand for that oil that's gonna, you know, lead 639 00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:43,160 Speaker 1: to something we've never seen to the degree we're going 640 00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:45,360 Speaker 1: to see it in terms of a tight supply demand. 641 00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:50,040 Speaker 1: Uh So, So yes, E s G plays a role 642 00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:53,200 Speaker 1: in that because I think there frankly, I just think 643 00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:57,279 Speaker 1: they're unrealistic about their expectations and it's only going to 644 00:34:57,320 --> 00:35:01,239 Speaker 1: exacerbate what's coming. What we we would have you know, 645 00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:06,200 Speaker 1: pretty um, pretty big moves in all the commodities no 646 00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:11,000 Speaker 1: matter what. But I think he s g just exacerbates it. Yeah, 647 00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:14,360 Speaker 1: well I would agree with that statement that it's unrealistic. 648 00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:17,759 Speaker 1: It doesn't seem to stop them. So, um my my 649 00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:21,240 Speaker 1: previous state, California. You know, they've shut down the natural 650 00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:24,799 Speaker 1: gas and the nuclear power plants to maneuve to renewable. Well, 651 00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:27,520 Speaker 1: the renewable isn't enough, but that doesn't seem to stop him. 652 00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:30,759 Speaker 1: So now there's willing blackouts. Um. So even though it's 653 00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:33,479 Speaker 1: unrealistic and it's proven that it doesn't work, um, doesn't 654 00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:35,120 Speaker 1: seem to stop him. I guess we're just okay being 655 00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:38,360 Speaker 1: without power sometimes. Yeah, well look what happened in Texas 656 00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:43,040 Speaker 1: last whatever. You know, we're we're making some policy decisions 657 00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:46,080 Speaker 1: that I think are based on theories and based on 658 00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:49,920 Speaker 1: hopes rather than based on reality. And you know, as 659 00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:52,520 Speaker 1: a result, it's gonna be cool. You know, it's gonna 660 00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:54,719 Speaker 1: there's gonna be some pain as a result of some 661 00:35:54,760 --> 00:36:00,400 Speaker 1: of these policies that we're making. Yeah, um, what about 662 00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:05,719 Speaker 1: some of this great reset stuff? So um by you'll 663 00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:09,040 Speaker 1: own nothing, you'll be happy, which, of course, UM, that's 664 00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:10,880 Speaker 1: a big statement by the world I kind of make forum. 665 00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:13,560 Speaker 1: But then back to some of the stuff we're seeing now, 666 00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:16,560 Speaker 1: maybe some of the stuff is playing out which is 667 00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:19,840 Speaker 1: limiting the amount of energy production, um, the amount of 668 00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:22,759 Speaker 1: energy can produce, putting laws into place that limit that 669 00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:26,359 Speaker 1: how much energy can be used by businesses and people UM. 670 00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:28,439 Speaker 1: And then even maybe some of this stuff for black 671 00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:30,479 Speaker 1: rocks buying if all the single family homes and people 672 00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:33,360 Speaker 1: can't even buy them now they have to be renters. UM. 673 00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:35,600 Speaker 1: I guess that's a longer term view. I mean, is 674 00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:37,360 Speaker 1: that stuff that you're looking at and thinking about like 675 00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:40,200 Speaker 1: over a longer term lens. Um. Yeah, I think it's 676 00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:42,279 Speaker 1: all gonna play out. I mean, I have to say 677 00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:46,440 Speaker 1: my I guess I kind of keep it simple stupid 678 00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:49,960 Speaker 1: from the standpoint of UM, I think the global bus 679 00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:52,360 Speaker 1: is gonna be the biggest downturn we've had since the 680 00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:56,359 Speaker 1: Great Depression, UM. And I think it's going to lead 681 00:36:56,400 --> 00:37:02,520 Speaker 1: to UM huge monitoring first goal response all around the globe. 682 00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:05,520 Speaker 1: But before we get to that monetary physical response, we're 683 00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:09,640 Speaker 1: gonna have a you know, a real financial crisis on 684 00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:12,520 Speaker 1: our hands bigger than two thousand eight nine, and again 685 00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:16,759 Speaker 1: this is global UM that then that then leads to 686 00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:21,239 Speaker 1: UM you know, the response, which then with a lag, 687 00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:25,200 Speaker 1: leads to another recovery cycle, but one with an entirely 688 00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:28,400 Speaker 1: different focus because it's going to be pushed by physical spending, 689 00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:32,000 Speaker 1: which means it's going to be infrastructure driven, and again 690 00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:34,879 Speaker 1: not just in the US but across the globe. So 691 00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:39,719 Speaker 1: you're gonna get into all of that UM. And I understand, 692 00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:42,640 Speaker 1: you know, the view of a reset and that we're 693 00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:45,319 Speaker 1: gonna collapse here and they're gonna, you know, change to 694 00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:50,279 Speaker 1: a different reserve currency or basket of currencies, etcetera. I 695 00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:54,920 Speaker 1: just think it's premature to be expecting that now. I 696 00:37:55,600 --> 00:37:58,879 Speaker 1: think the real time the d day for when all 697 00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:02,759 Speaker 1: this stuff kind of UM comes to a head is 698 00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:08,120 Speaker 1: probably out late this decade early next decade, when you have, 699 00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:11,799 Speaker 1: as a result of a bus leading too much more 700 00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:18,319 Speaker 1: policy expansion UM, meaning that you're gonna have inflation going 701 00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:20,840 Speaker 1: probably all the way back to where we were in 702 00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:28,560 Speaker 1: the early eighties, meaning fifteen inflation plus interest rates, and 703 00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:32,120 Speaker 1: that's going to come in direct conflict with the need 704 00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:37,080 Speaker 1: to finance all this depth that's been flooded on the system. 705 00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:39,040 Speaker 1: I don't know how that happens, so I think it 706 00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:41,680 Speaker 1: leads to a collapse. So I think the reset is 707 00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:43,600 Speaker 1: forced upon. It is not by the I m f 708 00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:47,239 Speaker 1: not and it's not going to be just a US situation. 709 00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:49,759 Speaker 1: I think. I think the risk is that when we 710 00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:53,359 Speaker 1: get to the thirties, we're looking at a total worldwide 711 00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:58,239 Speaker 1: economic collapse and financial collapse, and what comes out of that, 712 00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:04,200 Speaker 1: um my years a totalitarianism UM. But it's not this, 713 00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:06,799 Speaker 1: I can tell you. I am not in the camp. 714 00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:11,719 Speaker 1: I think it's silly, this um idea that the sooner 715 00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:14,400 Speaker 1: we have this collapse the better because then we can reset. 716 00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:17,799 Speaker 1: And that grammarily on our way. Not gonna how it's 717 00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:23,080 Speaker 1: gonna happen. We are really in a crisis period um 718 00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:25,719 Speaker 1: for this country in particular, because we were, you know, 719 00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:28,799 Speaker 1: the economic leader of the world um. And that's going 720 00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:31,520 Speaker 1: to have a major impact on the rest of the world. 721 00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:35,040 Speaker 1: And I really do fear New World Order, in my opinion, 722 00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:37,920 Speaker 1: is code for a communist take over the world, and 723 00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:41,040 Speaker 1: that seems to be the most likely direction we're going. 724 00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:44,320 Speaker 1: Uh And frankly, there's a lot of useful idiots in 725 00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:48,400 Speaker 1: this country that are kind of thinking new World orders 726 00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:51,880 Speaker 1: something good and there maybe find out it's not not 727 00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:55,759 Speaker 1: what they thought it was. Yeah, definitely I agree with 728 00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:59,520 Speaker 1: that perspective. I think it happened sooner than the next decade. 729 00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:01,719 Speaker 1: But you we'll see what that happens. But um, to 730 00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:04,360 Speaker 1: your point, you know about this moving to totalitarianism and 731 00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:08,000 Speaker 1: the reason why I think this is an important to understand. Um. Uh. 732 00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:12,040 Speaker 1: Mark Karney, head of the b o E, came out 733 00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:14,680 Speaker 1: a couple of days ago and he said that a 734 00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:20,200 Speaker 1: quote climate emergency that threatens life on Earth he claims 735 00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:26,400 Speaker 1: requires rigid controls on personal freedom. That's his quote, right, 736 00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:29,719 Speaker 1: So it's a climate emergency, so um, in order to 737 00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:33,919 Speaker 1: preserve life on Earth, it claims it requires rigid controls 738 00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:36,520 Speaker 1: and personal freedom. And what would those controls on personal 739 00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:41,560 Speaker 1: freedom be? Consumption, energy, expenditure, um, things like that. Right. 740 00:40:41,640 --> 00:40:44,960 Speaker 1: So uh, no doubt, Um, we're moving that direction because 741 00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:46,759 Speaker 1: they're telling us we're moving that direction. He said it 742 00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:52,040 Speaker 1: right here. The sad part is um, And again I 743 00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:55,359 Speaker 1: think a lot of people are useful idiots that don't 744 00:40:55,440 --> 00:40:58,120 Speaker 1: know what they're doing. But I also have to wonder 745 00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:01,439 Speaker 1: when you hear it from Mark Kearney, who should know better, 746 00:41:02,239 --> 00:41:05,280 Speaker 1: or you know, lots of our leaders in this country. 747 00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:09,239 Speaker 1: You've got to believe that. You know, again, there's there's 748 00:41:09,239 --> 00:41:11,759 Speaker 1: a lot of people in on this thing, and I 749 00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:15,040 Speaker 1: think they're crazy to want this, But you know, you can't, 750 00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:21,800 Speaker 1: you can't explain logically evil, mean and frankly, that's what 751 00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:25,440 Speaker 1: I do think. Um, that's what they want. They want 752 00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:28,680 Speaker 1: to move us towards this one world, the government that's 753 00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:31,080 Speaker 1: going to control our lives and do all of that. 754 00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:34,200 Speaker 1: I don't know why. I don't know why anybody that's 755 00:41:34,239 --> 00:41:36,080 Speaker 1: seen what we had in America would want to go 756 00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:38,520 Speaker 1: a different direction. But all I can say is that 757 00:41:38,719 --> 00:41:41,279 Speaker 1: seems to be the direction we're headed. And some of 758 00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:45,120 Speaker 1: these people should know better. Um. And so you know, 759 00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:49,320 Speaker 1: Mark Karney saying that is concerning Frankly at this point, 760 00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:54,120 Speaker 1: given what's happened in what I call supercycle that I 761 00:41:54,239 --> 00:41:58,560 Speaker 1: define a supercyclists. The big cycle is between two depressions, 762 00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:01,840 Speaker 1: the last depression being the Great Depression of the thirties, 763 00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:05,960 Speaker 1: the next depression I believe being the thirties, and so 764 00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:09,920 Speaker 1: we're in the last decade of a supercycle. In my opinion, 765 00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:12,240 Speaker 1: this is all pretty much baked in the cake anyway 766 00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:15,640 Speaker 1: that you know, I am not a fan of by 767 00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:17,759 Speaker 1: the administration or what they're doing. I'm not a fan 768 00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:20,719 Speaker 1: of climate change. For this redistribution of income is really 769 00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:25,560 Speaker 1: what its motivation is. Um And I'm saddened by see 770 00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:27,920 Speaker 1: how many people are kind of bamboozled by all that. 771 00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:34,279 Speaker 1: But um, but I think even even without them, this 772 00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:36,759 Speaker 1: is almost it's so late in the game now you 773 00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:41,320 Speaker 1: can't turn back. And and earlier on, it wasn't driven 774 00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:45,040 Speaker 1: by an agenda. Earlier on, it was just a natural 775 00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:50,000 Speaker 1: process that moving from a system that came out of depression. 776 00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:53,160 Speaker 1: People knew the lesson they learned in the depression, and 777 00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:55,520 Speaker 1: you get so far removed from them, and now people 778 00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:58,520 Speaker 1: think there's a free lunch and let's let's have mm T, 779 00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:03,320 Speaker 1: let's just print and spend money because there's always you know, 780 00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:05,759 Speaker 1: rates are low and they're always gonna be low. Well, 781 00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:09,000 Speaker 1: no they aren't. Yeah, yeah, I mean you get to 782 00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:10,839 Speaker 1: a situation, you know, kind of like what the Fourth 783 00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:13,880 Speaker 1: Turning talks about, where you have um generations who have 784 00:43:14,120 --> 00:43:16,640 Speaker 1: never produced. All they do is consumes, so they're living 785 00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:19,480 Speaker 1: off the production of generations before them, So they don't 786 00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:21,880 Speaker 1: have a real world understanding. But yeah, they're the ones 787 00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:24,600 Speaker 1: in academia and politics that are making the decisions, and 788 00:43:24,719 --> 00:43:27,080 Speaker 1: so it's unfortunate, you know what happens with that. But 789 00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:29,759 Speaker 1: if we take that and then kind of take a 790 00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:31,719 Speaker 1: couple of steps backwards to worry worse, we'll kind of 791 00:43:31,719 --> 00:43:33,600 Speaker 1: bring this back to full circle and will wrap it up. 792 00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:37,440 Speaker 1: But so if we understand that they have this um 793 00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:41,759 Speaker 1: need and to push towards more control, we can see this. 794 00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:43,680 Speaker 1: I just told you Mark Karney, I read his quote. 795 00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:46,919 Speaker 1: They want that. UM. We can see that they're really 796 00:43:47,040 --> 00:43:49,839 Speaker 1: driving this economy, right. So they're they're they're they want 797 00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:52,759 Speaker 1: to print this infrastructure, they want to push money for renewables, 798 00:43:53,080 --> 00:43:55,520 Speaker 1: push money to push this E S G narrative. Um. 799 00:43:56,000 --> 00:43:58,600 Speaker 1: It's obviously crushing economies all over the world, but no problem, 800 00:43:58,680 --> 00:44:01,480 Speaker 1: will print money for them as well. UM. So it 801 00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:03,320 Speaker 1: seems like they really want to drive this. Now you 802 00:44:03,400 --> 00:44:06,880 Speaker 1: have talked about earlier about that's pushing inflation UM. But 803 00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:10,160 Speaker 1: they may need to pull back on that money printer 804 00:44:10,280 --> 00:44:13,160 Speaker 1: to to to stave off inflation. UM. But at the 805 00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:15,680 Speaker 1: same time, if they do, the whole thing could fall apart. 806 00:44:16,719 --> 00:44:19,840 Speaker 1: So they have other tools like yield curve control, for example, 807 00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:23,759 Speaker 1: to suppress the rates. It could even go as bad 808 00:44:23,880 --> 00:44:28,360 Speaker 1: as controlling prices to limit inflation. And we've seen countries 809 00:44:28,360 --> 00:44:30,759 Speaker 1: already talking about that. We've even seen people in the 810 00:44:30,840 --> 00:44:34,880 Speaker 1: United States talking about that. So, UM, I guess in 811 00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:39,000 Speaker 1: light of all that, UM, do you think this this uh, 812 00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:42,520 Speaker 1: this blowoff top as you're projecting right, this draw down 813 00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:44,360 Speaker 1: that could happen, you know, in the next year or something. 814 00:44:45,280 --> 00:44:48,879 Speaker 1: Is that because um, they go till they blow meaning 815 00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:51,320 Speaker 1: they're full pedal to the metal, printing as much amazing 816 00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:55,120 Speaker 1: can and it just stops working, um, diminishing returns. Or 817 00:44:55,400 --> 00:44:57,560 Speaker 1: is it that they're like, Wow, inflation is way too hot. 818 00:44:57,760 --> 00:44:59,160 Speaker 1: We need to pull back and it's more of like 819 00:44:59,200 --> 00:45:03,239 Speaker 1: a self induced Yeah, it's it's really a case where 820 00:45:03,440 --> 00:45:06,239 Speaker 1: I think they you know, keep in mind it's even 821 00:45:06,280 --> 00:45:10,320 Speaker 1: though we're forty plus years removed from the hyperinflation of 822 00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:14,120 Speaker 1: the early eighties. It's been my observation, and I've been 823 00:45:14,160 --> 00:45:18,880 Speaker 1: in this business in seventy three that it was just amazing, 824 00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:22,400 Speaker 1: decade after decade what happened to us in the early 825 00:45:22,520 --> 00:45:28,200 Speaker 1: eighties that I lived through as an investor. UM was 826 00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:32,920 Speaker 1: still the conscience that kind of kept things under control 827 00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:36,920 Speaker 1: for you know, every cycle. The minute it lifted, it's 828 00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:38,960 Speaker 1: had people said, own inflation is coming back, and they 829 00:45:39,040 --> 00:45:41,520 Speaker 1: got nervous, and then they'd find inflation wasn't coming back, 830 00:45:41,600 --> 00:45:43,960 Speaker 1: and that you went back until we ratchet it all 831 00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:47,759 Speaker 1: the way down to pretty much zero UM. And so 832 00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:51,120 Speaker 1: now we're at a point that we haven't been at 833 00:45:51,520 --> 00:45:54,240 Speaker 1: really in the last forty years where it's it's truly 834 00:45:54,360 --> 00:45:57,200 Speaker 1: breaking out and it's not a fake out, and it's 835 00:45:57,280 --> 00:45:59,279 Speaker 1: not one of these things where it was, you know, 836 00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:03,759 Speaker 1: a false call that inflation is a risk here. So 837 00:46:04,760 --> 00:46:07,520 Speaker 1: they but they still have that conscious that the conscience 838 00:46:07,560 --> 00:46:10,640 Speaker 1: that they do understand that, boy, we don't want to 839 00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:13,080 Speaker 1: go back to those early eight days and early eight 840 00:46:13,120 --> 00:46:16,560 Speaker 1: these days. And you know, we went in the late 841 00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:21,360 Speaker 1: seventies from six or seven percent inflation and it was 842 00:46:21,440 --> 00:46:23,719 Speaker 1: only took two to three years when we were at 843 00:46:23,760 --> 00:46:27,680 Speaker 1: twenty percent inflation. So they realized that if they let 844 00:46:27,719 --> 00:46:30,760 Speaker 1: the genie out of the bottle, it's not an easy 845 00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:34,239 Speaker 1: game to get it back in. So so I think 846 00:46:34,320 --> 00:46:37,839 Speaker 1: that does have as much as everybody's worried the fence 847 00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:41,080 Speaker 1: bringing too much money and the fence um talking about 848 00:46:41,120 --> 00:46:44,879 Speaker 1: it's still a couple of years before they have to tighten, etcetera. UM. 849 00:46:45,440 --> 00:46:47,120 Speaker 1: I think in the back of their mind they know 850 00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:50,359 Speaker 1: it's closer than that. Number one and number two. Whether 851 00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:54,000 Speaker 1: they know it or not, they're gonna They're not gonna 852 00:46:54,040 --> 00:46:57,800 Speaker 1: have a lot of tolerance for inflation and pushing you know, 853 00:46:57,880 --> 00:47:00,880 Speaker 1: a lot higher. I think, well, if we see you know, 854 00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:03,319 Speaker 1: the numbers coming in months by month for the next 855 00:47:03,400 --> 00:47:07,759 Speaker 1: several um at the levels we've seen recently, they're gonna 856 00:47:07,800 --> 00:47:11,120 Speaker 1: get nervous. So that's that's first and foremost that they 857 00:47:11,160 --> 00:47:14,919 Speaker 1: will I think step in and tighten. And I think 858 00:47:14,960 --> 00:47:18,040 Speaker 1: Titan is going to be probably more from the standpoint 859 00:47:18,080 --> 00:47:21,600 Speaker 1: of money than interest rates. Everybody, most most of the 860 00:47:21,680 --> 00:47:23,840 Speaker 1: street talks in terms of rates. I look at his 861 00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:27,000 Speaker 1: money is much more important. I think they will drain 862 00:47:27,200 --> 00:47:31,239 Speaker 1: the system of as much as a trillion dollars if 863 00:47:31,320 --> 00:47:33,840 Speaker 1: they feel the inflation is breaking out here and not 864 00:47:34,080 --> 00:47:38,719 Speaker 1: just transitory. UM. And then you bring in to the 865 00:47:38,800 --> 00:47:42,200 Speaker 1: equation the fact that we had what we had in 866 00:47:42,280 --> 00:47:45,600 Speaker 1: the last fifteen months in terms of a pandemic that 867 00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:49,560 Speaker 1: led to a worldwide shutdown of the economy, and where 868 00:47:49,800 --> 00:47:54,000 Speaker 1: as much as statistically we're seeing recovery. We still have 869 00:47:54,080 --> 00:47:57,359 Speaker 1: a lot of landlords not getting collecting rent. We still 870 00:47:57,440 --> 00:48:01,600 Speaker 1: have a lot of um people working. We still have 871 00:48:02,280 --> 00:48:05,160 Speaker 1: you know, a lot of people who are I haven't 872 00:48:05,239 --> 00:48:08,080 Speaker 1: haven't paid their mortgage in a year. You don't just 873 00:48:08,200 --> 00:48:10,480 Speaker 1: all of a sudden say Okay, the economy are covered. 874 00:48:10,560 --> 00:48:12,960 Speaker 1: I'm gonna catch up on those twelve months i didn't pay. 875 00:48:13,480 --> 00:48:16,240 Speaker 1: So you've got a lot of fragility in the system 876 00:48:17,040 --> 00:48:20,320 Speaker 1: there and everywhere else. You know, there's so it's a 877 00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:23,560 Speaker 1: funny situation. It's a really bifurcated situation where we have 878 00:48:24,080 --> 00:48:26,000 Speaker 1: the potential for an economy it looks like it's the 879 00:48:26,040 --> 00:48:30,800 Speaker 1: strongest in decades um, but really below the surface is 880 00:48:30,840 --> 00:48:34,640 Speaker 1: the most gradulate spent in a long long time. So 881 00:48:34,840 --> 00:48:38,799 Speaker 1: it means it doesn't have the tolerance for cranking down 882 00:48:39,040 --> 00:48:42,400 Speaker 1: the system, you know, ratching down money or raising interest 883 00:48:42,560 --> 00:48:46,040 Speaker 1: rates that it might have in other cycles. It means 884 00:48:46,120 --> 00:48:50,680 Speaker 1: I think the FED is gonna find that the response 885 00:48:50,760 --> 00:48:54,560 Speaker 1: to their tightening with a very short lag it's gonna 886 00:48:54,560 --> 00:48:58,120 Speaker 1: be a lot larger than they anticipated. And I think 887 00:48:58,160 --> 00:49:00,120 Speaker 1: we're gonna and again I talked about the FED, but 888 00:49:00,160 --> 00:49:02,120 Speaker 1: it's really central banks around the world are going to 889 00:49:02,160 --> 00:49:04,560 Speaker 1: be in the same position. I think we're have in 890 00:49:04,640 --> 00:49:06,799 Speaker 1: a situation where the underlined is going to hit us 891 00:49:07,160 --> 00:49:10,600 Speaker 1: so fast, and they're gonna all the policy makers are 892 00:49:10,640 --> 00:49:13,200 Speaker 1: gonna be deer and headlights going what do we do? 893 00:49:13,520 --> 00:49:16,000 Speaker 1: You know, they did a good job of responding to 894 00:49:16,120 --> 00:49:20,160 Speaker 1: the March of but this time around, I think they're 895 00:49:20,200 --> 00:49:22,279 Speaker 1: gonna they're gonna be going, what can we do? Now? 896 00:49:22,360 --> 00:49:24,960 Speaker 1: We've already printed all that money, We've already done all this, 897 00:49:25,560 --> 00:49:28,480 Speaker 1: you know, fiscal stimulus. We got to be careful. We 898 00:49:28,600 --> 00:49:31,640 Speaker 1: can't just do that again. But they're gonna end up 899 00:49:31,719 --> 00:49:34,440 Speaker 1: having to. It's just gonna take them a little time 900 00:49:34,520 --> 00:49:38,560 Speaker 1: to realize that they don't have a choice. By the way, 901 00:49:38,920 --> 00:49:42,320 Speaker 1: I always say, the difference between me and some of 902 00:49:42,440 --> 00:49:44,560 Speaker 1: the guys you know out there that are the you know, 903 00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:46,799 Speaker 1: the guys that think we're on the way down now 904 00:49:46,960 --> 00:49:49,480 Speaker 1: this is the big one, um, you know, the Peter 905 00:49:49,560 --> 00:49:52,560 Speaker 1: Shifts of the world. The difference between those guys and 906 00:49:52,680 --> 00:49:56,360 Speaker 1: me is that I do say there's one more recovery cycle. 907 00:49:56,880 --> 00:49:58,839 Speaker 1: And the reason I can say that, and I've been 908 00:49:58,840 --> 00:50:02,840 Speaker 1: saying for a number a year, is in deflation. And 909 00:50:02,920 --> 00:50:05,880 Speaker 1: that's what the bus. The global bus will be a 910 00:50:05,960 --> 00:50:09,480 Speaker 1: global deflationary bus will go from this inflation concern too 911 00:50:09,600 --> 00:50:13,959 Speaker 1: very quickly the first deflationary downturn, I think, and since 912 00:50:14,040 --> 00:50:21,000 Speaker 1: the Great Depression, widespread deflation UM. So in deflation, central 913 00:50:21,000 --> 00:50:24,319 Speaker 1: banks have almost an infinite ability to print money. If 914 00:50:24,400 --> 00:50:27,839 Speaker 1: this were a case where we had inflation, their hands 915 00:50:27,880 --> 00:50:30,799 Speaker 1: will be more tied, they know, because more more money 916 00:50:30,880 --> 00:50:33,960 Speaker 1: means more fuel on the fire, more more inflation. But 917 00:50:34,040 --> 00:50:37,120 Speaker 1: if you're in deflation, the leads and lags to when 918 00:50:37,200 --> 00:50:41,520 Speaker 1: that money brings you back to inflation, and a problematic 919 00:50:41,600 --> 00:50:44,520 Speaker 1: inflation is long enough that they're going to be able 920 00:50:44,560 --> 00:50:46,040 Speaker 1: to say, we got to deal with the here and 921 00:50:46,120 --> 00:50:49,120 Speaker 1: now we've got on our hands right now, major bank 922 00:50:49,200 --> 00:50:52,279 Speaker 1: failures around the world, we have, you know, involuntary debt 923 00:50:52,320 --> 00:50:56,160 Speaker 1: liquidation across the globe. Um, we can't worry about inflation 924 00:50:56,239 --> 00:50:59,080 Speaker 1: right now, We've got to worry about deflation. So that's 925 00:50:59,160 --> 00:51:03,440 Speaker 1: why that money will then be get one more recovery cycle. 926 00:51:04,239 --> 00:51:06,960 Speaker 1: Where you run into the problem is that one more 927 00:51:07,040 --> 00:51:12,200 Speaker 1: recovery cycle then then gives you hyper inflation, and you 928 00:51:12,239 --> 00:51:16,400 Speaker 1: will have, unlike the nineteen eighties, you have hyper inflation 929 00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:19,719 Speaker 1: with perhaps four tillion dollars of death. And you know 930 00:51:19,840 --> 00:51:22,400 Speaker 1: right now we're over to fifty. By the time we 931 00:51:22,480 --> 00:51:24,440 Speaker 1: get done with this bus, we could be up at 932 00:51:24,480 --> 00:51:29,160 Speaker 1: three hundred. You you can't. I mean, there's no equation 933 00:51:29,239 --> 00:51:31,080 Speaker 1: you can come up with to tell me how you 934 00:51:31,200 --> 00:51:34,080 Speaker 1: solve that. It just leads. It leads to a PONDI 935 00:51:34,120 --> 00:51:39,200 Speaker 1: scheme that just collapses. Yeah. Wow, those are big numbers. 936 00:51:39,360 --> 00:51:42,360 Speaker 1: That's a big picture. Um, and I guess with that 937 00:51:42,440 --> 00:51:44,040 Speaker 1: we could go ahead and wrap it up. That's ah, 938 00:51:45,920 --> 00:51:48,080 Speaker 1: we're going to something like that. Um, we know they're 939 00:51:48,080 --> 00:51:50,960 Speaker 1: gonna keep printing. And whether they go to they blow 940 00:51:51,080 --> 00:51:52,400 Speaker 1: or they try to pull back and then try to 941 00:51:52,440 --> 00:51:55,759 Speaker 1: step back on the gas again. Um. Unfortunately, there's only 942 00:51:55,840 --> 00:51:57,840 Speaker 1: really one outcome of this. It seems like a be leveraging. 943 00:51:57,960 --> 00:52:01,560 Speaker 1: So the difference between in you know, one scenario and 944 00:52:01,600 --> 00:52:03,800 Speaker 1: the other is, you know, a matter of five or 945 00:52:03,840 --> 00:52:07,279 Speaker 1: seven years. It's it's not like, you know, one let's 946 00:52:07,440 --> 00:52:09,480 Speaker 1: go merrily along and the other one, who's, oh no, 947 00:52:09,600 --> 00:52:12,000 Speaker 1: we're in trouble. You know there we end up in 948 00:52:12,040 --> 00:52:16,160 Speaker 1: a bad place either way. Yeah, yeah, I would imagine. Um, 949 00:52:16,520 --> 00:52:18,359 Speaker 1: you said you started your career in nineteen seventy three. 950 00:52:18,440 --> 00:52:20,919 Speaker 1: So that's just two years after we started this whole 951 00:52:21,320 --> 00:52:23,399 Speaker 1: you know, fiat money system. I mean, whatever you could 952 00:52:23,440 --> 00:52:25,239 Speaker 1: argue I started earlier, but really that's you know, when 953 00:52:25,280 --> 00:52:27,200 Speaker 1: we got up a gold standard, and so look how 954 00:52:27,320 --> 00:52:31,000 Speaker 1: far we've come in fifty years, and so like to 955 00:52:31,080 --> 00:52:32,799 Speaker 1: say that we could even go another five or seven 956 00:52:32,920 --> 00:52:35,080 Speaker 1: seems like way too long. If we've gone this far 957 00:52:35,160 --> 00:52:38,799 Speaker 1: in fifty I mean, imagine where we're going. This is unsustainable. 958 00:52:39,960 --> 00:52:43,839 Speaker 1: That's that's for sure. It's unsustainable, all right, David, Well, 959 00:52:43,880 --> 00:52:46,600 Speaker 1: that was awesome. Um, thanks for giving us that contrary 960 00:52:46,760 --> 00:52:49,000 Speaker 1: view and really kind of helping us understand kind of 961 00:52:49,000 --> 00:52:51,840 Speaker 1: where these markets and asset prices are going. I appreciate that. 962 00:52:52,320 --> 00:52:54,120 Speaker 1: I'm gonna make sure, like I said, everyone followed David 963 00:52:54,160 --> 00:52:56,759 Speaker 1: on on Twitter. I'm gonna link to his profile down below. 964 00:52:57,000 --> 00:52:59,759 Speaker 1: Anything else you want to call attention to, David, Um, 965 00:53:00,120 --> 00:53:03,560 Speaker 1: no other than we talked about bonds. Just understand that 966 00:53:03,680 --> 00:53:06,440 Speaker 1: that moved down to say one twenty on the bond market. 967 00:53:07,040 --> 00:53:09,680 Speaker 1: Obviously I don't know exactly where it's going, but if 968 00:53:09,719 --> 00:53:12,640 Speaker 1: I'm pretty right on that, just understand that's not the 969 00:53:12,800 --> 00:53:14,680 Speaker 1: end of the move up in rates. I do think 970 00:53:14,760 --> 00:53:18,600 Speaker 1: as the fed Titans later you could see two and 971 00:53:18,600 --> 00:53:21,879 Speaker 1: a half or some ten year before this year is out. 972 00:53:22,000 --> 00:53:25,719 Speaker 1: So you know, the move down is just a short 973 00:53:25,840 --> 00:53:29,399 Speaker 1: term move and I think as we tighten rates move 974 00:53:29,480 --> 00:53:32,080 Speaker 1: back up and that's that's what becomes problematic for the 975 00:53:32,239 --> 00:53:35,560 Speaker 1: stock market, along with the fact that they pull money 976 00:53:35,600 --> 00:53:40,440 Speaker 1: on the system.
