After the great financial crisis in 2008, the Bank of International Settlement was given the task of coming up with new regulations that would prevent bank risk escalating throughout the entire banking system. These new rules being introduced throughout Europe this year will have the effect of destroying the existing derivatives markets. We welcome back Mr. Alasdair McLeod as our guest this week o...

“It's easy to get wrapped up into the gloom and doomy side of the story, but it's actually a great time to invest. You can make a lot of money if you buy the right things at the right time. I think precious metals are a big part of that story. So don't focus on this horrendous crisis that's coming. Think of it as an investment opportunity for you to protect your family and yourself by doing the ri...

“I think one of the things that is particularly uncomfortable for investors is that commercial real estate, personally, I viewed it as pretty bomb proof to be honest, but because of the pandemic, we're not sure what the demand is going to be for offices and industrial and retail in the future.” Our guest this week on Retirement Lifestyle Advocates is Mr. Simon Popple. Listen in as Simon and your h...

“The Federal Reserve has increased its balance sheet by $4 trillion in the last 18 months. It’s absolutely crazy. It's insane, it's irresponsible! It’s a formula for hyperinflation, not just inflation but hyperinflation. The Government’s ludicrous measures of consumer price index and the producer price index do not include food and energy and housing. These things are going up dramatically. This i...

“It’s insane to think that every time you have a slowdown in the economy or the stock market, you can just print, infinitely more money and expect it to go away. This is a dead economy revived only by endless money printing. And it will not end well”. So claims our guest this week, Mr. Harry Dent, on Retirement Lifestyle Advocates radio. Your host, Dennis Tubbergen, talks with Harry Dent about the...

Imagine that you are financing the purchase of a home. You get to the closing table, and upon review of the loan documents, you notice that the interest rate and the amount that you're required to pay back to the lender are left blank. How would you react if the lender said, "Don't worry about it, we'll figure that out later. We're just going to put a lien on your house, and we'll let you know wha...

The stock market is more overvalued than it’s ever been by every historical measure. “I wouldn't be surprised if we see a 1987 or '29 type shock at some point”…followed by inflation similar or greater than we saw in the 70’s and early 80’s. That’s the forecast from this week’s guest on Retirement Lifestyle Advocates Radio, Mr. David Skarica. Listen to the conversation where your host, Dennis Tubbe...

Are we looking at a deflationary collapse in the next 12 months? Our guest this week, Mr. Karl Denninger says he would not be surprised by a 50% re-pricing in all asset classes. Join your host, Dennis Tubbergen as he and Mr. Denninger discuss forecasts for the economy, healthcare, and the markets in the coming months. Mr. Karl Denninger is an American technology businessman, finance blogger, autho...

It's amazing to think that the Japanese stock market topped out 31 years ago and the European market topped 21 years ago, and the Chinese market topped to 14 years ago. As positive social mood is waning here in the U.S., our guest this week on Retirement Lifestyle Advocates radio, socionomics expert Mr. Murray Gunn, concludes that a multi-year bear market beginning this year is likely. Join your h...

The dollar will eventually be completely discredited and lose credibility. The thing that's helping it right now is the fact nearly all world currencies are going through the same process. Eventually, currencies are going to have to be valued against something tangible. Our guest this week is Brien Lundin. Join your host, Dennis Tubbergen, as he and Brien discuss the return to a gold standard, cry...

For over 50 years now, “the top 20% of the population share of total income has increased and the shares of the other four lower quintiles have been declining…” along with the purchasing power of those dollars. This week’s guest, Dr. A. Gary Shilling talks with your host Dennis Tubbergen about the state of the economy, the Fed’s money creation, and investment strategies for protecting your wealth...

Our guest this week on Retirement Lifestyle Advocates radio is the leading cycles research analyst, Dr. Charles Nenner. A past guest on the program, Dr. Nenner explained how he mathematically predicts the annual, monthly, and even intra-day highs and lows in the markets in his conversation with your host, Dennis Tubbergen. Today, Dr. Nenner says we’re near the end of a long top cycle, that stocks,...

If we have a hyperinflationary event, there's going to be a civil war. If you take the current $2.3 trillion operating deficit, add $1.9 trillion to that, we're at $4.2 trillion. Should another $3 trillion stimulus package be added to that, we could be looking at a $7 trillion deficit this year on a GDP of about not even three times that based on my numbers. This week on Retirement Lifestyle Advoc...

“You don't have to look any further than the Federal Reserve, the disgusting institution that used to be in the business of bailing out banks on the margins if they had some bad debt they had to bring to the discount window. Now the Fed controls everything. They're even vanquishing viruses.” This is the view of our guest this week, Mr. Michael Pento. Join your host, Dennis Tubbergen as he talks wi...

We have two global problems. The potential bankruptcy, in fact, almost certain bankruptcy of the Eurozone and the ending of the Euro. And at the same time, in America with dollars being printed to create a wealth effect, when that bubble pops the dollar will similarly have virtually no future and probably wipe it out. And, I'm talking about the very near future, because I don't think it's going to...

What we did in 2020 violates every canon of sound economics. Money creation, over the course of 2020, looks just like a hockey stick. It’s terrifying. We got a kind of borrow and print regime going on, and it's extremely dangerous to capital formation in the future. This perspective from our guest this week, Mr. Jeffrey Tucker, on the Retirement Lifestyle Advocates radio program. Join your host, D...

The U.S. economy is extremely sick, terminal in fact, if a doctor were to describe it. Creating more is not going to solve the problem. It is the problem. It’s the reason the economy is so sick, we'd been given a toxic dose of monetary stimulus. We've temporarily enriched the few at the expense of the many by inflating asset bubbles and undermining legitimate economic growth. Our guest this week o...

We are nearing the end of a 90 year supper bubble economic cycle that will see markets, real estate, and even crypto-currencies (including Bitcoin) lose 90-95% of their current value by late 2022… That’s the forecast from this week’s guest on Retirement Lifestyle Advocates radio, Mr. Harry Dent. Your host, Dennis Tubbergen talks with Harry about the various macro-economic cycles all coming togethe...

The U.S. Federal Reserve, in December, just quietly changed the way they were going to report M1 and M2 money supply, stating that reporting would now take place monthly versus weekly, and they were changing the methodology. With the unprecedented amounts of money creation by the Fed and central banks worldwide, the Fed is clearly attempting to further obfuscate what’s really happening. On this we...

“Our monetary system is out of control, we no longer have the ability to manage it. Central banks around the world have no tools left and it's going to do what it's going to do. And we're just bystanders at this point, watching the train wreck. This is no longer one of those inevitable things, it is now an imminent thing. And that's what makes it such a terrifying time… you shouldn't wish living t...

“The stock market's real, inflation-adjusted top, really occurred back in 2000. So most of what we've seen since then is just hyperinflation from the printing of dollars. There's a pattern that we're tracking…I call it the jaws of death. It looks like a shark's mouth wide open, ready to gobble up…the economy”. This is the near-term forecast from our guest this week, Dr. Robert McHugh. Join your ho...

“To the extent we are still doing well as a nation is not because of the progressivism or the socialism that our politicians have given us, it's because of the freedoms and the capitalism we haven't yet destroyed.” This week on Retirement Lifestyle Advocates radio, our guest Mr. Larry Reed discusses with your host Dennis Tubbergen, his most recent article comparing progressive agenda of President...

Cash and money in people's checking accounts are up 51% year over year. That's a record. Returning guest this week on Retirement Lifestyle Advocates radio, John Williams and your host Dennis Tubbergen discuss this trend and others that are leading up to a declining economy and rising inflation. Mr. Williams is a consulting economist who maintains the website Shadow Stats.com. He tracks and reports...

Could we see Gold hit $8000 plus in 2021? Our guest this week on Retirement Lifestyle Advocates Radio, Mr. Jay Michael Oliver, says that given the continued degradation of money units by central banks abroad and the aggressive money printing policies here in the U.S., which the Fed vowed to continue, we’re entering a bull market in commodities not seen since the 1970’s. Join your host Dennis Tubbe...

The government gravely underestimates the national rate of inflation via the CPI, a number plagued with bias and statistical manipulation. It is universally assumed that the government’s rate of inflation is accurate, but it simply isn’t… First time guest on this week’s Retirement Lifestyle Advocates Radio, Mr. Ed Butowsky, talks with your host Dennis Tubbergen about this blind acceptance of CPI;...
