Off The Cuff: Volatility Attacks!
 PREVIEW
by Adam Taggart

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

  • Volatility Attacks!
    • The market calm is suddenly shattered
  • Trading A Credit Crisis For A Currency Crisis
    • How all this ultimately ends
  • Misuse & Abuse Of Power
    • Is the norm these days, not the exception
  • The Coming Reset
    • Yes, it will be painful. But let's focus on what we want to come afterwards

In this week in which volatility in the markets — which has been MIA for longer than any other time in history — has suddenly come roaring back, Chris and John focus on the inherent fragility of the financial system, which is now utterly dependent on continued central bank subsidization.

Off The Cuff: The Era Of Easy Money Is Over
 PREVIEW
by Adam Taggart

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

  • Sovereign Sabre-Rattling
    • Suddenly, the world became a lot less safe
  • Market Misdirection
    • The central planners are doing their utmost to paint a positive picture
  • The Era Of Easy Money is Over
    • Debt-funded stimulus no longer results in an increase of GDP
  • How This All Will End
    • Exploring the likely pins that will pop this "mother of all bubbles"

Chris and John look at the disconnect between world events and stock prices and urge folks not to misled: risk is high, and getting higher. There is *no* rational reason for the current price levels in financial markets — only gobs and gobs of liquidity being force-fed into the system by the world's central banks.

But the data is increasingly showing that the era of "easy money" we've lived under since the Great Recession has reached its inevitable terminus. Shoving more debt into the system is no longer boosting GDP. We are now simply blowing bigger asset bubbles that will monumentally destructive when they burst — as they must.

 PREVIEW
by Adam Taggart

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

  • Vexing Volatility
    • How the VIX is being used to drive the markets
  • We Can't Handle Losses Anymore
    • Why the market is now incredibly vulnerable to downturns
  • Our Captive System
    • Until it breaks, the system is run to serve the banks, not us
  • The Death Of The Living Wage
    • The hollowing out of the middle class continues

Lots of sobering material packed into this week's Off The Cuff discussion between Chris and John. While there are signs of growing instability to be found nearly everywhere, both are very concerned about the extreme fragility of today's financial ""markets"". At the slightest sign of weakness, tremendous interventions now happen on a daily basis to keep prices from falling, even by a single percent.

The reason why is that the system is too vulnerable for ANY degree of loss to be sustained without fear of collapsing it.

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

  • The Coming Debt Explosion
    • Really? We're going to try to add more??
  • Pension Time Bomb
    • Going off sooner than most expect
  • The Evil Fed
    • It's policies are at the root of our economic predicament
  • The Revolution Is Brewing
    • Continental Europe will see the next iconoclast elected

 

 

The only thing more frightening than the massive overburden of debt weighing on today's economy is the recent trial balloon that we need to add a bunch more in order to spark economic growth. Chris and John slam this wrongheaded thinking, and direct our attention to the damage the effects of already having too much debt is wreaking on our future prospects.

Off The Cuff: Dow 20,000!!
 PREVIEW
by Adam Taggart

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

  • Dow 20,000!!
    • Everything's awesome….right?
  • All Hail Our Banking Overlords!
    • Manipulation and collusion abound in today's financial system
  • The Elites Are Beginning To Worry
    • Buying bunkers and retreats in a hurry
  • Hypocrisy Of The Extortionist
    • Our leaders are happy to berate the system once they leave it

The Dow Jones index just crossed the 20,000 milestone for the first time in history. The financial media is applauding, newly-elected President Trump is boasting — should we just stop worrying and concede that everything is going great now?

Chris and John Rubino certainly don't think so. They see the Dow's 20k milestone as stark evidence of the massive set of asset bubbles created by the world's central banking cartel. Print up trillions and trillions of thin-air money and it has to go somewhere.

They lament that our political, regulatory and corporate leaders remain ignorant (willfully or cluelessly) of this. And as long as that continues, the excesses and resultant unfairness (wealth gaps, cost of living unaffordability, etc) will grow unchecked — making the pain of the inevitable collapse that much more painful to society.

  • Deconstructing The Election Results
    • Why the upset happened
  • Insurmountable Odds?
    • Trump inherits a country in tremendous debt
  • The Sell-off In Bonds
    • Is the world's biggest bubble bursting?
  • The Age Of The Iconoclast
    • Brexit + Trump is just the start of this age of upsets

So much to talk about this week….  Chris and John deconstruct Trump's upset win as well as the tremendous challenges he faces, inheriting a grossly overleveraged economy that is grossly overdue for a market correction. They're also are extremely concerned by the sharp acceleration we've seen this week in the sell-off in the bond market. As a reminder, the size of the bond market dwarfs other financial assets (except derivatives). It is "for all the marbles", as they say.

 "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...
