John Rubino: Bear Market, Recession, Layoffs: Lots Of Ways For 2024 To Get Worse (Jan. 11, 2024)

Thoughtful Money...

Summary

 

The global economy is facing a looming crisis due to massive debt, potential currency collapse, and increasing inequality, leading to potential civil unrest and drastic responses from the population.

 

Global Debt and Monetary Policy

 
  • Massive global debt may make it difficult to fix the economy, even with easing and quantitative easing measures.
  • The lesson learned from cutting interest rates is that they cannot go back up again, and massive currency pumping and running deficits lead to double digit inflation.
  • Negative interest rates and a big jump in the money supply may lead to a crackup boom scenario, where people dump the currency and buy real stuff, causing inflation and a collapse of confidence in the economy.
  • Japan’s government would be flat out bankrupt if interest rates go up, leading to an immediate currency death spiral.
  • The potential for a broader Middle East war and conflict with China over Taiwan is a looming threat that could escalate emotionally and intellectually.
  • The potential confiscation of brokerage accounts and savings could lead to widespread civil unrest and a declaration of war on those with resources.
  • The possibility of civil unrest and resistance in the event of a major financial collapse and government overreach is a real concern.
  • The best gold and silver miners could be five Baggers, while the lottery ticket type companies in that space could be 10 Baggers, completely changing your financial life.
     

Financial Crisis and Unemployment

 
  • People are struggling to afford their lives despite historically low unemployment, indicating a looming crisis.
  • The official jobs numbers appear to be distrustful, and the economy is heading for very rocky times in the not too distant future.
  • Civil unrest is a normal part of a gigantic financial crisis, and we may see more drastic responses from the populous as people feel like the system is not working for them.
  • Populism is what happens when people are impoverished and debt impoverishes you, that’s just what it does.
     

Economic Inequality and Aristocracy

 
  • The modern economy is creating a divide where the rich get richer while the majority struggle to afford basic necessities, leading to a modern version of aristocracy harvesting the peasants.
  • Most major policies are designed not as a bug but with as a feature to enrich the already rich and impoverish everybody else.
 

Jesse Felder and Marc Chandler: Inflation Data vs. Geopolitics, What's actually driving politics (Jan.4, 2024)

The KE Report...

Summary

 

There is potential for a stagflationary economy with elevated inflation and low likelihood of a soft landing, presenting challenges for the Fed and opportunities for investors in undervalued natural resource companies.

 

Inflation and Economic Outlook

 
  • Super core inflation for services, CPI less housing, is still running right around 5% and has curled higher in the last few months, indicating potential challenges in bringing inflation numbers down to the Fed’s target.
  • “We’ve had a lot of people pointing to Janet Yellen and other Fed heads taking a victory lap, but there is still potential for a stagflationary backdrop versus the soft landing narrative.”
  • If inflation remains relatively elevated, then you have the potential for a stagflationary type of economy.
  • The likelihood of a soft landing for the economy is low, with the possibility of inflation remaining above the fed’s target.
  • The FED’s overreaction to short-term dynamics could open the door to a much bigger and sustainable inflation problem.
  • There has been a paradigm shift in inflation, making it difficult for the fed to stimulate the economy in the same way as before.
  • The sentiment is extremely bullish from a contrarian standpoint.
  • The paradigm shift post-pandemic suggests that inflation may remain higher on a structural level.
  • Stagflationary environment with slowing nominal growth and elevated inflation is damaging to profitability and a major risk to owning general equities.
  • The super core inflation rate is running roughly twice the Fed’s target, which is a concern for investors.
     

Investment Opportunities in Natural Resources

 
  • Natural resource companies are undervalued with single digit PE ratios, presenting a real opportunity for investors.
  • US shale regions are experiencing peak production and wells are running out quicker than anticipated, impacting energy supply.
  • “It’s very bullish for a super cycle in energy which is something I’ve been talking about for three four years.”
     

Currency Valuation and Exchange Rates

 
  • Marc Chandler believes the dollar is still overvalued and foreign currencies like the Euro Zone and Japan are very cheap relative to the Dollar on a fundamental basis.

Michael Pento: Goldilocks Economy Is A Sham (Jan.11, 2024)

Soar Financially...

Summary

 

The media’s portrayal of a soft landing and Goldilocks economy is contradicted by indicators of a potential recession, and the stock market is currently overvalued and at risk of a significant downturn.

 

  • The media’s portrayal of a soft landing and Goldilocks economy is contradicted by 14 straight months of a shrinking manufacturing sector.
  • The entire regional banking system was melting down in March 2023, which would have caused a recession if not for massive intervention by the Fed.
  • Most of Americans are hurting and hurting badly, it’s not a ubiquitous situation.
  • The market drops 30 50 80% during a recession, and we could be heading into one next year.
  • The inversion of the yield curve and surging delinquencies indicate a sharp recession ahead.
  • The FED’s retreat to zero interest rates could lead to a disaster in the stock market, with rising borrowing costs and a potential recession.
  • The pervasive Malarkey out there is that we’re in Goldilocks, but imagine how high gold is gonna go when reality actually hits and we see a recession in the data.
  • The stock market is currently at 170% of GDP, making it the most expensive in history, with zero compensation for owning stocks over bonds at this moment.
 

So, THIS Is Why They’re Coming For Dave Chappelle (Jan.12, 2024)

Russell Brand...

Summary

 

The mainstream media uses cultural artifacts and controversial figures to stoke tensions and conflict, distracting from more significant issues and amplifying division and hatred.

 

  • The mainstream media likes to use deliberately den nuanced attacks on cultural artifacts in order to stoke tensions and conflict.
  • Jim Carrey was so immersed in his role as Andy Kaufman that he lived his life as the character even off set.
  • “Figures like Dave Chappelle are willing to walk into areas of chaos, uncertainty, and ambiguity, which are under attack in our culture.”
  • Dave Chappelle talks admiringly of trans people and what it takes to be a man, showing an evolved perspective on respect and understanding.
  • Financial success is the only thing keeping controversial shows like Dave Chappelle’s on air.
  • “The culture war is utilized in order to generate conflict and division to distract us from issues that are more significant.”
  • The Legacy Media is amplifying division and hatred, turning ordinary people against each other.

 

Rick Rule: Gold Stocks, Uranium Stock, Russian Stocks (Jan. 8, 2024)

Resource Talks...

Summary

 

Rick Rule sees potential in various natural resource investments, including gold equities, uranium stocks, and underexplored metallogenic belts, despite the risks and challenges associated with investing in unfamiliar markets and political instability.

 

Investment Strategies and Philosophy

 
  • “I’m really attracted to the gold Equity space precisely because it hasn’t performed, that’s precisely why I’m advocating it.”
  • Rick Rule describes the high risk, high reward nature of investing in small cap stocks, where the potential for 10x or 20x returns exists alongside the risk of losing money.
  • “If you’re going to be right, you have to be really really really right.”
  • Being contrarian when it’s popular is a difficult task, but Rule sees potential in gold, silver, and other resource companies.
  • “I’ve been smart, I’ve worked hard, and I’ve been very lucky” – Rick Rule on his 50 years of investing and speculating in natural resources.
  • “I’ve endured 10 failures uh mercifully. The arithmetic around this is that if you have 10 failures where you lose 30% of your money you have one success where you get a 20 bagger uh that one success advertises a hell of a lot of failures.”
     

Geopolitical and Geological Opportunities

 
  • Greenland is a really interesting place to look geologically.
  • “I go where the deposits are” – Rick Rule emphasizes the importance of focusing on the potential of a deposit rather than being commodity-centric.
  • The Tean metallogenic belt, stretching from Ukraine to Mongolia, is one of the best underexplored metallogenic belts for copper and gold porphyries on the planet.
  • Large mining companies like BHP and Rio might become active in uranium in Africa, potentially shifting their attention away from Australia due to the political climate.
  • Central Asia, particularly Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, and Kazakhstan, holds potential for uranium exploration due to the Soviet-era work and established skilled uranium business.
  • Rule has been an early and patient investor in Argentina, particularly in gold and oil exploration, driven by the geological potential of the Andes.

 

Bill Gates: “We need the equivalent of international weapons inspectors” (Jan. 11, 2024)

Unconfuse Me with Bill Gates...

Summary

 
 
Take a listen to how Bill Gates and Sam Altman talk about their position in the world. Gates sees himself as the influencer of governments and Altman as the shaper of the social consciousness on social media.

(Editors Note: …Weapons inspectors for information systems like AI. Basically, this video is Sam Altman and Bill Gates discussing how to dominate social media and every other information system using AI. It’s astounding to see their level of detachment from the 99%.”)
