Off The Cuff: Is The Crack-Up Boom Here?
 PREVIEW
by Adam Taggart

In this week’s Off The Cuff podcast, Chris and John Rubino discuss:

  • It looks a lot like the start of a crack-up boom
  • Will the markets ever fall again?
  • History shows our current path ends badly, and in a destroyed currency
  • How can investors protect their wealth in such a dangerous, complex time?

2020 just gets more and more challenging. After a brief sell-off in March, stocks and pretty much every other type of financial asset are in full melt-up mode.

Fueled by the Federal Reserve and Congress’ stimulus programs, and cheered by the Administration, higher prices seem the top national priority. Is this sustainable? It it wise? Do we even have markets anymore, or do we just have a charade of one — where eternal rising prices are now pre-determined?

John and Chris tackle these questions, along with their repercussions for the country and for concerned individual investors trying not to lose their hard-earned savings to runaway inflation OR a deflationary popping of the current asset price bubble:

In this week’s Off The Cuff podcast, Chris and John Rubino discuss:

  • Australia Is Burning
  • The impending shale oil bust
  • Central banking desperation
  • The PP May 2020 seminar

The evidence is now impossible to refute: the Economic, Energy & Environmental predicaments this site has been warning of for years are now hitting in force. Central banks are panicking, Australia is burning and the shale oil patch is becoming a graveyard for investor capital.

How desperate is it becoming?

  • The Only Official ‘Plan’ B Is Panic At This Point

Recorded two weeks ago, we’ve only just now had the space to run this podcast. In it, John Rubino does a masterful job breaking down why negative rates are unnatural for a reason — they simply don’t do anything positive for the economy.

What’s better than an Off The Cuff with John Rubino? Or Wolf Richter? Or Axel Merk?

How about one with ALL of them?

That’s what attendees of last weekend’s Peak Prosperity annual seminar were able to enjoy, live on stage.

This meeting of the minds was the first time Axel, Wolf and John had ever met one another in person. And the idea-exchange that ensued was pure magic.

For this week’s Off The Cuff, we’re giving you a huge treat. A chance to watch these great thinkers in action.

In this week’s Off The Cuff podcast, Chris and John Rubino discuss:

  • Moral Hypocracy
    • One set of rules for the elites, another for the rest of us
  • Inflation Is Coming
    • The Fed should be careful what it wishes for
  • Uncharted Territory
    • All countries are pursuing extreme policies right now
  • How The Game Ends
    • Hard assets will be the last man standing

In this week’s discussion, John Rubino gives a useful revisitation of why owning hard assets is so important. While the exact path we take is still unpredictable, the endgame is increasingly clear: the world’s current fiat currencies are losing their purchasing power at an accelerating rate.

Off The Cuff: When Does The System Break?
 PREVIEW
by Adam Taggart

In this week's Off The Cuff podcast, Chris and John Rubino discuss:

  • When Does The System Break?
    • When will (hyper)inflation become the greater risk?
  • When Will The Central Banks Lose Control?
    • Their intervention is becoming increasingly desperate
  • Recession & Debt Exhaustion
    • These are limits that can't be 'printed away' forever
  • The Rise Of Authoritarianism
    • More countries are giving the State more power

One of the most frequent questions we're asked here at Peak Prosperity is: When does all this blow up? When do the sins of the past — rampant debt/deificit spending, monetary meddling, cronyism, lies & propaganda, resource despoilage — catch up with us and force a day of reckoning?

Well, in this week's podcast, Chris and John Rubino bravely attempt to answer. Their conclusions aren't pretty; it's better we be forewarned of the risks than slam into them blindly.

In this week's Off The Cuff podcast, Chris and Charles Hugh Smith discuss:

  • Broken Signals
    • We're focusing on the wrong priorities, in the wrong order
  • Dangerous Hubris
    • We've removed critical buffers to risk
  • Tax Donkeys & Debt Serfs
    • The many are in servitude to the few
  • Late-Stage Empire Decline
    • Signs of it are everywhere in our economy & society

Charles breaks down for Chris how the masses are trapped by today's economy, forced to work harder and harder for a system that rewards them less and less, while the elites and unneccessary bureaucracy syphon off what profits remain.

 PREVIEW

In this week's Off The Cuff podcast, Chris and John Rubino discuss:

  • Hey, Did We Just Declare War On North Korea?
    • Trump's UN speech stuns the world
  • Unpacking The Latest Fedspeak
    • Much more talk than action
  • The Junkie Economy
    • Dependent on hits of ever more debt until it dies
  • The High Cost Of Lacking Resilience
    • Harvy, Irma & Maria are teaching us a lesson in real-time

This week Chris and John tackle the latest Fed announcement. Yellen's talk of tightening/normalizing — to borrow from common parlance — is really a "nothingburger" until the world's other major central banks curtail their stimulus efforts.

The world economy is still receiving $125 billion in liquidity injections every month. This, of course, has destroyed the integrity of the markets and turned all investors into speculators — as whatever the central banks decide to do next is the only thing that will matter to prices.

As we have been warning for years, this will all end badly once the central banks have either destroyed their respective zombie economies or their fiat currencies (if not both).

 PREVIEW
by Adam Taggart

In this week's Off The Cuff podcast, Chris and John Rubino discuss:

  • The Root Cause Of Much Of Today's Strive
    • Going off the gold standard in 1971
  • Financialization Has Led To Polarization
    • It has allowed for a very unfair distribution of wealth
  • Our Polarization Makes Us Susceptible To Fear
    • Which the media and special interests stoke
  • Stay Focused, Don't Act Out Of Fear
    • Intentional resilience is the antidote to today's chaos

Longtime Off The Cuff listeners are really going to enjoy this week's discussion, in which Chris and John dig into the more existential questions of "how did we get here?" and "how do we regain a hopeful future?" when looking at the increasingly extreme social rift occurring in today's society. Interestingly, they trace the root cause for a lot of today's strife back to the US' decision to take the world off the gold standard (i.e. sound money) in 1971. This removed a very important control, in the absence which the power players in government and the corporate world were able to increasingly warp the system to their own advantage through racketeering. Over time, the wealth has concentrated at the very top, leaving everyone else a thinner and thinner slice of the pie.

 "It's About Control": An Interview with David Icke
Just got my result that I’m C19 positive.
I work at a mining camp in northern BC where I shared a bathroom with a guy (double injected) that was coughing for days and then tested positive. They got me to do a rapid test which was negative but I was feeling OK at that time.
Got home and started feeling...
