- THE WHITE ELEPHANT EATING AWAY AT YOUR PORTFOLIO
After several trip around Asia, and I have to tell you, the place is full of economic lessons. Some of them are more obvious than others. But perhaps the most important one comes from an unlikely source: the elephant. That enormous, lovable, four-legged eating machine may be the perfect metaphor for what Washington is doing to your your accumulated wealth and of course your retirement savings. Order Your Free Report Here An adult Thai elephant can easily consume 300 to 400 pounds of food every day. We’re talking bananas, sugarcane, grasses, leaves and just about anything else growing within…
- Inflation Never Died. It Just Changed Addresses.
For those of us aging baby boomers who lived through the inflationary nightmare of the 1970s and early 1980s, what’s happening today is hardly a mystery. We’ve been down this road before, and we’ve got the receipts to prove it. We remember double-digit inflation, mortgage rates approaching 20 percent, gasoline shortages, and the increasingly desperate attempts of ordinary Americans to stay ahead of rising prices. We also remember Paul Volcker administering some very painful monetary medicine to finally bring the whole mess under control. For those of you too young to remember, or perhaps not…
- The Coming AI Bust: Trillions Will Vanish. The Revolution Won’t.
Every financial mania eventually meets an accountant. Artificial intelligence will be no exception. The question isn’t whether investors are going to lose enormous amounts of money. They most certainly will. The question is whether the coming AI bust will expose another technological fantasy or simply a colossal mispricing of the most important economic development in human history. I’m betting on the latter. I’ve witnessed the computer revolution, the personal computer revolution, the internet boom and the spectacular dot-com collapse. I’ve watched supposedly revolutionary technologies…
- The Federal Reserve Is Screwed - Robert Kientz
In this episode of the Financial Survival Network, host Kerry Lutz sits down with Rob Kientz from Freedom Report to analyze current macro-economic challenges and the performance of key asset classes. Kientz unpacks the drivers behind recent gold and silver corrections, explaining why historical patterns point toward a mid-bull cycle setup rather than a long-term downturn. The discussion explores escalating national debt, interest rate pressures, and government proposals—such as wrapping U.S. Treasuries into stablecoins—to maintain liquidity without addressing underlying fiscal imbalances…
- The Silver Slide: Part 2
Want to know the most effective way to crash the silver market? Forget naked short selling, dumping thousands of futures contracts or trying to overpower the buyers. There’s a much more elegant way to accomplish the same thing, and the beauty of it is that you can actually make a fortune on the way up. Simply help push silver to unsustainable levels, encourage the speculators to pile in, and then stand aside while the market crashes itself. I raised this possibility when silver was going parabolic earlier this year. At the time, virtually everyone was talking about the enormous buying…
- The Silver Slide: Silver at $55
Silver has taken another beating, falling to approximately $55 an ounce, and the usual suspects are already declaring the bull market dead. We’ve heard that before. The more interesting question isn’t why silver is falling, but what this latest collapse tells us about the financial system, the Federal Reserve, and the opportunities that may be developing right in front of us. For subscribers to the Insider Advantage , we’re examining the signals behind the selloff and how to prepare for the next major move. Our 35% anniversary discount is still available. The Fed Has a Problem, and Silver Is…
- Gold and Silver See the Truth: The Silver Lining in Trump’s Russian Diesel Deal
Before we get started, my Insider’s Advantage subscription is available at 35% off for a limited time. If you want to understand where the money is going before Washington and Wall Street tell you where it went, join us here . There is an old saying that you can fool some of the people all of the time and all of the people some of the time, but you can’t fool all of the people all of the time. Apparently, nobody ever explained that to the people running our monetary system. They’ve spent decades convincing Americans that wealth can be created with a few keystrokes, that debt doesn’t matter…
- Did Elon Musk Inc. Break a Fundamental Law of Economics?
Elon Musk May Have Broken the Most Important Rule of Capitalism Rockefeller built an oil empire. Carnegie built a steel empire. Musk may be building the first empire whose most important product is the next empire. And he may be taking it to Mars. When I was studying economics in college, we learned that there were certain fundamental laws governing the growth of companies. They weren’t quite as immutable as the laws of physics, but they were close enough. One of the most important was that no company, regardless of how innovative or successful it became, could continue growing at…
- Silver Shock: Buy Miners Now? - David Morgan
In this episode of the Financial Survival Network , host Kerry Lutz interviews precious metals analyst David Morgan to discuss shifting global monetary dynamics, precious metal pricing, and industry opportunities. Morgan emphasizes that central banks and institutional investors have already signaled a systemic monetary transition through record gold accumulation—reaching 2,522 tons ($380 billion) in the first half of the year alone. With gold trading near $4,600 per ounce and silver breaking $69, Morgan identifies $4,600 as strong technical support for gold and points to mining equities as…
- Another DAMN Speeding Ticket? Thank Dan From Long Island.
Every once in a while, somebody tells you something so obvious, so simple and so brilliant that you wonder why the hell you didn’t think of it yourself. That’s exactly what happened when Dan, a reader from Long Island, contacted me about The All-New Speeder’s Guide to Avoiding Tickets . Dan had an idea that was so good it caused me to go back and start rewriting parts of the book. Thanks a lot, Dan. Just what I needed. More work! But I gave Dan a 1 year free seat at the Insider’s Advantage for his trouble. Because this was so worth it. For years, I’ve been refining a system for dealing with…
- The $200 Mailbox That Explains Why Americans Don’t Understand Inflation
Several years ago, in a moment of extremely questionable judgment, I decided to serve on my homeowners association board. I wish I could tell you it was an enjoyable and rewarding experience, serving my neighbors and giving something back to the community. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case. It wasn’t exactly misery. It was something far worse: inertia, punctuated by occasional bouts of sheer insanity. But I did learn something valuable. For certain people, their HOA isn’t merely an organization responsible for maintaining the neighborhood. It’s the center of the known universe. Decisions…
- I Got Ripped Off on a $2,400 Silver Buy on eBay! And Would Gladly Do It Again
I wrote about the setup here in Buying Silver Below Spot? Yes, Its Possible . And I explicitly warned you about the risks right here in Protecting Yourself From eBay Fraudsters . And guess what? It was a rip-off and I would gladly do it all over again. The “Zip Code Fraud” Event The entire situation turned out to be a minor nuisance rather than a tragedy. The scammer tried pulling the classic ZIP code tracking scam : they listed $2,400 worth of silver bullion below market spot price, took my payment, and shipped a dummy package (or junk mail) to a completely different address in my 5-digit…
