The housing market is locked up. People who have 3% mortgages cannot move except under extreme duress because a new mortgage is 7%. And the price of the average house has doubled. As a result, the payment's gone up by 40%. People don't have that. They just don't have the money. Returning to the Retirement Lifestyle Advocates show this week is Karl Denninger. He and your host, Dennis Tubbergen, dis...

The US economy appears to be driven by two forces; the Federal Reserve, which is raising interest rates in an attempt to get inflation back to its 2 percent target, and the investors who have thus far been able to maintain the status quo on employment and the stock market. On this week’s Retirement Lifestyle Advocates radio show, guest Dr. A. Gary Shilling talks with your host Dennis Tubbergen abo...

The Central Bank has allowed you to hallucinate and make investment-grade decisions on a micro and a macro level based on a false assumption. And when they decided to unwind that process in March of last year and start raising rates from next to zero up to over five percent now, suddenly, people are facing a reality that they didn't expect to face. Our guest this week, Mr. Michael Oliver, discusse...

We've got very elevated bullish sentiment in the markets at the moment. According to the Association of Individual Investors, bullish sentiment is the highest it's been since the top roughly 27 months ago, and so people think that the bull market is back. Our guest this week on Retirement Lifestyle Advocates radio, Mr. Murray Gunn, says that's another aspect of corrective waves in the first part o...

The Constitution provides for three branches of government, but now we've got this fourth branch which contains a permanent class of bureaucrats that nobody elected. It is a big threat to our freedom.

The situation that happened in the crash of 1929 was because nine out of 10 cycles stopped together, and you have the same situation occurring again in 2026, 2027. So that is really going to be a terrible situation. Our guest on this week’s episode of Retirement Lifestyle Advocates radio is cycles expert, Dr. Charles Nenner. Your host, Dennis Tubbergen and Dr. Nenner discuss what the cycles say ab...

The Fed has raised interest rates, but what the Fed has not managed to do is get Congress to cut out or curtail spending in any meaningful way. We had about a 4 trillion-dollar federal budget prior to COVID, now over 6 trillion. That's a 50% expansion from what it used to be, and there is no indication that anybody in Congress is willing to put that back to where it was. As a result, we're not goi...

The Great Depression of the 1930s was a Supercycle wave four down. So, this is a level higher or worse than that, and that's what's just starting. It'll probably last at least 10 years, maybe more, and it's going to do a lot of damage and probably change the way we see the world. That’s not to scare everyone, but according to our guest this week on Retirement Lifestyle Advocates radio, technical a...

With 1.5 trillion dollars worth of commercial mortgages coming due and interest rates rising, are we likely to see a similar crisis in real estate like the residential crisis in 2008? First-time guest on Retirement Lifestyle Advocates radio, Mr. Kerry Lutz, tells your host Dennis Tubbergen it's a disaster, but it's not like the subprime mortgage mess. Don’t miss their engaging conversation as they...

The everything-bubble is now beginning to burst. In the next 12-18 months, we’ll see more bank failures and significant downturns in stocks, bonds, real estate, etc. Our guest this week on Retirement Lifestyle Advocates radio, Harry Dent, tells us to get out of the markets now.

The problem in the banking system is pretty simple, for ten out of the last fourteen years, mortgage rates have been well below the effective Fed funds rate today, which is 5.1%. So, bank assets are yielding very, very low-income streams to banks. Alternatively, you can go out right now and get over 5% on a risk-free ultra-short-term treasury note. No liquidity risks, no duration risks, nothing. T...

The money supply is shrinking. For the first time since the early 70’s, the FED is shrinking the US money supply; and it's going down pretty dramatically. Sometime in the next year, the government's going to be confronted with a dilemma: does it ramp up the money supply at the cost of possibly reigniting inflation and causing the instability that flows from rising inflation, or does it let a large...

De-dollarization is happening now. I have no idea how long the US dollar will remain the world reserve currency, but it is coming unraveled at an alarming speed. A thought shared by this week’s guest on Retirement Lifestyle Advocates radio, Mr. Mark Jeftovic, in his conversation with your host Dennis Tubbergen. They also discuss the future of central bank-issued crypto and how that might affect pr...

When you look at the FDIC insurance programs that insure bank deposits, the deposit insurance reserve fund has about 170 billion in it to ensure $11 trillion of bank deposits. However, the idea that the insurance fund is there just to protect small depositors is very misleading. The primary duty of a modern central bank is to ensure the integrity of the commercial banking system; that means that a...

We’re likely to be much worse off than in 2008. Our guest this week, Mr. Karl Denninger, explains what’s happening with the US dollar and provides his take on the current state of the banking industry when he talks with your host Dennis Tubberg...

“Bank regulators were really asleep at the switch. They had all the red flags for Silicon Valley Bank back in 2019. They raised concerns, but they never forced any actions. The rating agencies were asleep at the switch as well. They were rating Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank as investment grade securities right up to the end.” Our guest this week on Retirement Lifestyle Advocates radio is...

Paraphrasing from an article written by Dr. Fauci, where he says that we need a new infrastructure of human existence in which basically we get rid of cities, we get rid of birthday parties, we get rid of sports events, we get rid of bars, restaurants, and all the normal things we consider to be social. Our guest this week, Jeffrey Tucker talks with your host Dennis Tubbergen about what Dr. Fauci’...

Since the Great Society programs started, we have provided profound disincentives to people on the right-hand side of the bell curve to have children while simultaneously creating large incentives for people on the left side of that curve. It’s the people on the right side of those curves who are the ones that end up being successful and therefore paying taxes, and, as a result, they're the ones t...
