“If everyone on the Republican field were to consolidate behind a single player now, I think Trump would still win, even from prison,” says Peter Zeihan, geopolitical strategist. Peter deciphers the complexity of the latest Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the repercussions of this conflict for the surrounding Middle East region. “When the Saudis had an issue with the Palestinians back in the '70s, they created what we now know today as OPEC,” he says.

He remains skeptical about the degree to which the Saudi royal family is going to get involved in the matter because of a “generational split in Saudi Arabia” when it comes to its relationship with Palestine. “I would say that by the end of this calendar year, the Saudis will have, in essence, declared neutrality. And the talks between Jerusalem and Riyadh will pick up again,” he claims. He concludes by dismissing the possibility of a gold-backed BRICS currency because there is a lack of “constellation of economic forces that all of them subscribe to.”

“This is not a war of the type that any of us have experienced before, which is one of the reasons why investors are going to have to be so dexterous,” says Rick Rule, founder and CEO of Rule Investment Media. He explains that in the past 12 months, the U.S. has doubled the import of Uranium from Russia, and Russia recently transmitted hydrocarbons through Ukraine while paying a transit fee. Rick believes that is “a strange way to act in a war.”

He continues that the dire warning from JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon carries merits given what’s happening in the Middle East, Ukraine, and around the world. He says, “The next 10 years [are] going to require a lot more dexterity than the last 40 have.” Additionally, he advises investors to own assets such as cash, gold, and uranium because the higher deposit rates, which "are going to be a big problem," are still below the real rate of inflation.

“OPEC+ expanding to the BRICS I think is a different discussion which I'd be more worried about than the BRICS creating a new currency that will replace the dollar,” claims president and CEO of Valens Research. He states that despite the energy dominance that BRICS pursues, it will not pose imminent threat to the U.S. dollar. "The idea that China and India will ever agree on giving up their own influence over their own currency is just ridiculous... They're in armed conflict right now!" says Joel. "I think they absolutely want [to take down the dollar], but what – they'll give up their own sovereign rights to each other?"

 
Additionally, he shares his sentiment about the market, stating that he has never been “so bullish long-term and so bearish show-term.” "We are going to see earnings erode to such a degree... the market is really topped out, and we don't have much more to go,” he concludes.

"The Federal Reserve is raising rates into a recession, and America's food shortage is going to decline not grow," says Todd “Bubba” Horwitz, founder of bubbatrading.com. "We're using data as if we were still a manufacturing nation and not a service nation, which we now are... Inflation is much higher, we are somewhere in the 20% range," he says to Daniela Cambone on this episode of of Powershift: Outlook 2023. "With the inversion of the yield curve, gold is going to make new highs this year," Horwitz reveals. "The Fed has about another two years of raising rates... They're not stopping anytime soon," he says. "There is an entire circumstance here that will lead to a major meltdown coming shortly," he concludes.

"Gold miners are up four months in a row, and no other aggregate of any kind has matched that," claims Carter Braxton Worth, founder and CEO of Worth Charting. "I would consider the last decade for gold rest rather than bear," he tells Daniela Cambone on this episode of of Powershift: Outlook 2023. "We're in the camp that the dollar will continue to go lower, but not much lower," Worth continues. "We've seen peaks in commodities, and ultimately there is a reason that 10-year yields aren't higher right now... it's because we've hit peak inflation," he argues. "Silver tends to lag before it comes alive," Worth adds. "Bitcoin's price has been left for dead, and perhaps it's reached a level where it belongs," he says. Worth concludes, "The health care sector has been underperforming since 2015, but it's going to make a relative new high this year and it's why I'm long health care."

"I've never seen a decline that we're looking at now, and [NATO] is ramping up the war in Ukraine into World War III," says trends forecaster and publisher of the Trends Journal, Gerald Celente. "There's going to be a false flag or a nuclear exchange to make this official," he grimly predicts on this episode of of Powershift: Outlook 2023. Gerald discusses why people have been content with the Fed feeding them cheap money, "and the Fed may be less aggressive in raising interest rates this year and that's why gold prices will go up." "China and Russia have united, the BRICS have united, and there are more of them than us... the United States' way out is with war," he tells Daniela Cambone. "We are forecasting that this is going to be the year we go from dirty cash to digital trash... and this is the year [the U.S. government] is going to make a big push towards a digital currency," Celente states. When they do, "gold is going to go through the roof," he continues. "When the governments go fully digital, they are going to make it very hard for bitcoin... That's the only way we see it going down," Celente predicts. "It's not about we the people, it's about the ones running the show," he concludes.

"Bond yields have bottomed out and stock markets have topped out," says Mark Moss, an analyst for Market Disruptors. "There's been a shift at the Fed itself, and they're doing everything to keep the dollar strong," he tells our Daniela Cambone in this edition of Powershift: Outlook 2023. "[Jerome] Powell does not care about your retirement account or your home's value... he's made that very clear," Moss continues. "If [the Fed] don't continue to inflate the currency the whole system will crash, and the dollar will of course continue to decline in value it just depends on the time frame," he explains. "Tech stock equities are going to do horrible over the next couple of years due to their diminishing P/E ratios," Moss warns. "The SEC has obviously failed consumers [on the FTX situation], and regulators are going to be pressured to act," he concludes.

"I'm pleasantly surprised by the resilience of the U.S. economy, and I'm bullish on the broader economy and equities," says Rick Rule, founder and CEO of Rule Investment Media. "Increasing interest rates are very bad for the long bond market, and I remain very cautious in the face of higher interest rates," he warns Daniela Cambone in this edition of Powershift: Outlook 2023. "My fear is that the structure of the U.S. economy is too dependent on artificially low interest rates and liquidity," Rule continues. "The U.S. dollar is the most liquid and transparent market in the world, and I think the U.S. government is doing it's very best to blindly wreck and weaponize it," he asserts. "There's a political conundrum we have to face five years from now, with the chronic underfunding of pension funds almost guaranteeing poverty," says Rule . He believes that, "the very volatility in bitcoin that attracted speculators and promoters reduced its utility as a medium of exchange and as a store of value." Rule concludes, "You need to be your own regulator. When you believe the big regulators have your backs, that's the beginning of the end of your fortunes."

Lead-Lag Report publisher Michael Gayed and InTheMoneyStocks.com CFO Gareth Soloway weigh in on current inflation levels, Federal Reserve intervention, the direction of the U.S. dollar, and much more. Daniela Cambone moderates this special edition of Powershift: Outlook 2023.

"Market celebrations are premature with the Fed nearing the end of its hiking cycle," says Michael Gentile, co-founder of Bastion Asset Management. He reflects on the past year saying, "certain parts of the market got crushed, and that better day is not here today." He warns Daniela Cambone to be prepared for choppiness in 2023, "where significant pain will be the extent of an economic downturn, triggered by the Fed." "Higher structural inflation for longer is my view," Gentile continues. He forecasts a choppy and difficult year in 2023 for investors. "Rather than stomaching a difficult recession, we will see more government intervention through stimulus which is inflationary," Gentile says. He concludes by saying, "the Yen and euro are the cannery in the coal mine and silver is outperforming gold which we have not seen in years."

"The new supply chain, what I call supply chain 2.0, will look very different than the old supply chain," asserts NYT bestselling author Jim Rickards. "The U.S. and China will be running two different clubs," in this new supply chain environment and decoupling from each other, he tells Daniela Cambone in this edition of Powershift: Outlook 2023. "We are at peak inflation, inflation is going away very quickly, and the Fed's moves are working," Rickards continues. "The markets are not ready for the sharp decline in inflation to come, and that inflation is coming from the supply side," he says. "A global liquidity crisis and a recession are very different, and sometimes they come together like 2008... we may be looking at a scenario like that," Rickards states. He is very critical of the crypto space predicting, "there's nothing there with crypto, and it's all imploding." "Eventually they will all go to zero, in stages," Rickards concludes.

"Sam Bankman-Fried ran out of runway, it's similar to Bernie Madoff and also the 2008 financial crisis," says Max Keiser of the Keiser Report, founder of Bitcoin Capital and Heisenberg Capital. "The regulators really have some answers that need to be filled in, this was the culmination of a multidecade nightmare," he tells Daniela Cambone in this edition of Powershift: Outlook 2023. "Regulators are clearly implicated, and the U.S. is a kleptocracy at this point," Keiser continues. He touts the garnered strength El Salvador has attained over the past year, arguing "the U.S. is on its way down, and El Salvador is on it's way up." Keiser claims there has been no damage done to the bitcoin network in the wake of the FTX crisis... "It never touched the network, the hash rate has never been higher." "The axis of power, the pendulum of power is swinging away from the U.S. dollar and fiat currencies, it's a new century," he concludes.

"The price of oil has come down from its peak, and the cost of key consumables are declining," argues Chris Mancini, Gabelli Funds Senior Analyst. "Labor is not increasing at the same rate that it has been," he tells Daniela Cambone on today's episode. "There are good signs that inflation has peaked, but we're starting to see the economy start to weaken a little bit," Mancini continues. "Broad U.S. market CPI has peaked, and the price of gold will rally on real recession next year," he predicts. Mancini warns that there is more Fed help is on the way, "and inflation will take off again." Gold in a position in a place where it needs to show it can sustain itself. Mancini concludes, "Bitcoin was suppose to be man-made gold, but the issue with anything made by man is it's going to be corrupted."

“Banks are slowing. Some financial accident is going to happen, and it could end up being a spiral. I think the charade of pretending that they’re going to beat inflation is a charade. They know they can’t,” says Frank Giustra, billionaire philanthropist and CEO of the Fiore Group. He says the Fed knows that interest-rate hikes have a lag effect and the massive debt issue will “bankrupt America,” as shown by today's slowing economy.

While mining industry veteran Pierre Lassonde paints a negative picture for mining juniors, Frank disagrees and urges folks to avoid letting emotions guide their decisions no matter what happens in the market. “It’s a matter of patience. Hang in there. You just have to know something there is good [coming].” Additionally, Frank points out that central banks around the world accumulating gold means "something is up.” “I don’t think the West is listening. The gold enthusiasts are in the East. That’s where we see all the physical gold is going," Frank concludes.

"I don't think it is all over, the FTX crisis remains unresolved," says Clem Chambers, CEO of Online Blockchain. He tells Daniela Cambone, "Centralized exchange is a bad thing and Bitcoin has a media curse." "[Bitcoin] goes up like a rocket, and down like a rock," Chambers continues. "It still feels like we are digging a hole in the world economy, fiscal deficits all over the world are not coming down," he warns. "We are looking at a really bad road ahead in the next two to four years," Chambers predicts. "There will be continuous pressure on selling gold until the war in Ukraine subsides," he concludes.

"To be expected, the FTX collapse is going to have some peripheral damage and I think there's more to come," says Kevin O'Leary, business mogul and star of ABC's hit TV series Shark Tank. He clarifies his statement on if he would still support former CEO of FTX Sam Bankman-Fried, detailing that he, "wouldn't because I wouldn't be allowed to," with impending investigations underway. "All of us at the cap table have spoken and we're stunned, and we don't have any answers yet," O'Leary continues. "It's clear to many people throughout the last few trading sessions that the various digital tokens are so correlated," he says, "and most of the tokens that exist will go away." The China wild card has been persistent every 90 days, "and the Chinese need to step up and buy a working vaccine to have the same herd immunity benefits seen in North America," O'Leary concludes.

"The U.S. dollar has been holding everything back in terms of valuations," says Carley Garner, author of Higher Probability Commodity Trading" and founder of www.DeCarleyTrading.com. "There's a big disconnect between oil stocks and oil future's market," she says to Daniela Cambone. "Investors are starving for a place to put their money and oil is working for the time being," Garner states. "I have a hard time finding intrinsic value in bitcoin, or one particular coin in general," she continues. "I personally think there is a chance of $8,000 bitcoin, the market is full of surprises for bitcoin and that won't change," Garner says. Garner concludes that, "gold has been very disappointing and is not behaving the way you expect it to in war-like and inflation-like environment."

"The fundamentals a really strong for gold ownership," and crypto market woes are causing an influx of investment into the precious metals space, claims Mark Yaxley, managing director at Strategic Wealth Preservation. Investments in gold and silver, "don't just disappear and vanish in the same way that FTX investors are now experiencing," he tells Daniela Cambone. As the U.S. dollar continues to soften, "it's a negative correlation for gold and silver, it costs you more to by an ounce of silver and gold," he continues. Silver really is popping to the upside, and you should be selling when that happens, Yaxley urges precious metals owners.

"For the time being, the [crypto] industry has really kneecapped itself," says Nicholas Prouten, chief operating officer of global payments platform LODE Payments International. For something like FTX to take place at such a crucial time for the industry, "is really bad a devastating loss for those who lost funds in the fiasco," he tells Daniela Cambone. Prouten speculates, "this is a shining moment for the decentralized finance space," and this is an opportunity for this side of the industry to say, "we are the future of finance." "The shift is happening and you can't bury your head in the sand any longer," he continues. "LODE is all about autonomous function," Prouten stresses, "we don't have control of your funds, that's what it's all about and that's so important." We can't freeze or withdraw your money, and this helps build trust, he says and argues, "gold backed currency is stability and peace of mind." "LODE has always been about restoring silver and gold to the monetary system," Prouten concludes.

"Gold and silver have outperformed equities," and we have to be happy with their performance thus far outside of the U.S. dollar, claims Philip Newman, managing director and founding partner for precious metals consultancy Metals Focus. Philip contends that October's inflation numbers cause the Fed to reconsider its aggressive strategy, sparking greater interest in the precious metals market. He says, "the market thinks the Fed will perhaps take a slower pace of rate increases, will we start to see some [investors] move back in? I think it is possible." Philip also asserts that the precious metals sector doesn't offer a viable safe haven for investors, despite a recent rally in the space. He says, "Gold and silver may struggle to hold onto some of these gains." Philip concludes, "It's difficult to read too much into one reading... [Yields moving higher] will be the ultimate headwind for gold and silver."

"I knew there was no chance Facebook could save itself," says Frances Haugen, data scientist and Facebook whistleblower. "I became increasingly alarmed by the choices the company made," prioritizing their own profits over public safety and putting people's lives at risk, she tells Daniela Cambone at the 2022 Stansberry Conference and Alliance Meeting. Frances explains why she decided to blow the whistle on Facebook. She fundamentally believes that the problems we are facing today with social media are fixable, and details the danger of the Chinese-ownedTikTok app. "We can have social media that brings out the best in humanity," she concludes.

With more and more countries joining, "the BRICS alliance is a waking giant," asserts Willem Middelkoop, CDF founder and best-selling author of The Big Reset: War on Gold and the Financial Endgame. "It's the west against the rest of the world now," and a lot hinges on if Saudi Arabia joins BRICS or not, he tells Daniela Cambone. Middelkoop discusses how he predicted, "Moscow and Beijing will seek a reconstruction of the world order," in his best-selling book, and there will be a gold revaluation as a part of the great reset. Physical gold's case has been made with "the popping of the crypto bubble," he argues. Bitcoin is here to stay, and it's healthy to have a shakeout in the digital asset market, Middelkoop continues. He concludes, "Bitcoin is digital gold, and the other alternative cryptos are Ponzi schemes."

The Fed's chances of hiking rates by 75 basis points in December is, "significantly reduced" based on current trend forecasts, says Will Rhind, founder and CEO of GraniteShares. Housing is already in a recession here in the United States, "and there's still a long way to get inflation to 2%." [The Fed] can only look in the rearview mirror. The rally that is coming will be largely technical, end of year rally. and the economy will get worse from here not better. He concludes by stressing that if the dollar's rally is paused or continues downward there will be a rally in gold.

“They really try to bring the economy to a halt to bring the inflation down, and then we’ll get a next wave of inflation. I am afraid for that,” says Willem Middelkoop, founder of the Commodity Discovery Fund and bestselling author of The Big Reset: War on Gold and the Financial Endgame. He predicts that the next wave of inflation will hit the U.S. in 2024 to 2025.

Given the development that BRICS are pursuing global energy dominance, Willem argues that we’re in a “financial World War III.” He also points out that Saudi Arabia has turned itself into an adversary with the U.S. after it started selling Treasuries en masse over the last few years. Willem concludes by warning that the BRICS are working on a “parallel trading system” that will exclude the U.S. from international trade.

"Election night was a purple wave, and we are in a deep bear market," says market expert Todd “Bubba” Horwitz, founder of bubbatrading.com. "They are destroying competition, the way this administration is running the country," he tells Daniela Cambone. "It could be a brutal fourth quarter," with no clarity on policy, energy, or inflation, Horwitz continues. "The Fed is trying to raise rate into a recession," he says. He asks: "how can we expect a Santa Claus rally to show up if he's not literally bringing coal with him." "I'm hedged against the market, I'm buying more as we go down," Horwitz says. Trading position is short because we are going to see a massive sell-off as liquidity comes back to markets, he concludes.

"Central banks around the world are nervous," about the U.S. dollars they have in central bank reserves, says Randy Smallwood, president and CEO of Wheaton Precious Metals. "Gold is the constant store of value, it's always provided that for society and it will always provide that for society," he tells our Daniela Cambone. "A healthy apolitical alternative is gold," and cannot be weaponized by future governments as we may be seeing today with the U.S. dollar, Smallwood continues. The ultimate goal for gold is to improve the "accessibility, transparency and trust behind it," through digital means, he concludes.

Inventories in the diesel market are near an all-time low for the U.S., "with 25 days remaining," warns George Gammon of the Rebel Capitalist. "The poor and middle class are worse off today then 2019," due to economic policy caused by U.S. politicians, according to him. "At the end of the day, Jerome Powell and the Fed are going to do whatever the Biden administration wants them to do," Gammon says. All of the problems the Fed is trying to fix can be solved by letting the free market dictate the price of goods and services, concluding that, "there are no certainties, only probabilities."

Diamond prices are overwhelmingly driven by consumer demand for jewelry," asserts Cormac Kinney, founder and CEO of Diamond Standard. "Diamonds are not correlated to anything else," which makes them a strong diversifier and has driven a lot of institutional interest, he tells Daniela Cambone at the 2022 Stansberry Conference and Alliance Meeting. Kinney stresses the timing of their breakthrough product, "it's a great opportunity."

Dollar cost averaging is king for bitcoin trading right now, exclaims Eric Wade, editor of Crypto Capital. Eric says "it's too early to say" how many official blockchains will dictate the future of money transactions, but he likes all of the big leaders such as Ethereum, he tells Daniela Cambone. When regulation arrives for crypto, "it's going to be a drumbeat for the asset class," he continues. "I love gold, and if you don't own gold ask yourself why," Wade concludes. And he believes "if you're wrong [on a trade], take your loss... except for bitcoin, ride that forever."

Marko Papic, chief strategist of alternative investment asset-management firm Clocktower Group, speaks with Daniela Cambone at the 2022 Stansberry Conference and Alliance Meeting in Boston. He warns her, "the Fed is in a really big bind," as the central bank look to ease the pace of rates hikes currently underway. "If we have a shallower recession in 2023 because the Fed arrests the pace of tightening right now," he believes the market could perform well over the next year. "Equity markets are sniffing out a pivot in the inflation cycle," but Papic concludes it's purely political timing.

In an exclusive interview with Daniela Cambone, billionaire philanthropist, Frank Giustra lays out his thesis for the global monetary reset already underway. We're at the beginning of a currency war, "and I'm absolutely certain we're heading into a global monetary system reset," warns Frank Giustra, CEO of the Fiore Group. He tells Daniela Cambone, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping, "have made it very clear they want an alternative to the U.S. dollar," after being held hostage by the currency for so long. Predicting that the dollar will lose its status as the world's reserve currency, Giustra says China will be victorious in its efforts to solidify a new central bank currency backed by gold. "Everybody, and I mean everybody, should own physical gold," he says when asked about the increasing privacy issues posed by technology. "I think the pivot is around the corner, the [Fed's] math doesn't make any sense," claims Giustra when asked about the rate-hike cycle currently underway for the central bank. "The Fed is trying to talk inflation and something is going to break, they've ruined the American dollar," he concludes.

"This is not a time to gamble with your money, we are in a time right now where things are shifting," warns E.B. Tucker, bestselling author of Why Gold, Why Now? Tucker returns to discuss his thoughts on blue chip companies from Apple to Amazon, detailing that, "we are on the verge of a new era." Barrick is one of the best gold companies, he continues. "If we get to a point where the producers of gold actually determine the price, it's a different ballgame," Tucker concludes.

"It's hard for the Fed to be much more aggressive than the are with the world tilting toward recession," says Mike McGlone, commodities strategist at Bloomberg Intelligence. He says this a 1929-like scenario for international markets, and tells our Daniela Cambone that a bear market is now mainstream. Monetary supply is plunging for the U.S., which he says is a key indicator to pay attention to. Gold under the lens of other currencies besides the U.S. dollar is, "doing what it should be doing and protecting wealth." McGlone concludes that other assets like bitcoin are at their most significant discount in a while, which he believes will cause the digital token to climb to $100,000 per coin. Please see missing charts at links at the top of the video, we apologize for the inconvenience.

Something is going to break in the financial system, "don't let it be you, that's how you have to see things," exclaims E.B. Tucker, bestselling author of Why Gold, Why Now? [The Fed] is going to raise interest rates until something cracks because, "that gives them some sort of leverage that they are looking for on the world stage," he says. The dollar is ripping higher, "and it's all a part of the plan for U.S. lawmakers," he continues. "It's very difficult to say what Russia is up to," as a large producer of oil and precious metals, Tucker concludes.

In a panel discussion with executive co-chairman and founder of Ivanhoe Mines Robert Friedland, President and CEO of the Fiore Group Frank Giustra, and mining industry veteran Pierre Lassonde, our Daniela Cambone discusses the significance of central banks accumulating gold, the imminent threat of central bank digital currencies ("CBDCs"), the state of the mining industry, and inflation. Frank acknowledges that the global monetary system could be completely reshaped moving forward and that gold “will play a role.” Pierre echoes that sentiment, adding that, “We have a very high probability of an alternative currency to the dollar."

Plus, Frank warns that the rollout of a universal CBDC means “a loss of freedom.” Finally, Robert predicts inflation to stay at 4% in the next five years and eventually go even higher as oil prices keep rising. “The Fed’s in the box because if they keep raising interest rates, they’re going to dive the economy … The real interest’s gonna increase and this favors gold.”

"My fear is the pain will continue to be felt on a delayed basis, there's more pain to come," warns Rick Rule, founder and CEO of Rule Investment Media. He asserts on today's episode that the Fed's aggressive rate-hike strategy will lead to even more inflationary pressure, weighing heavily on consumers in the long term. "I'm frankly delighted they've been able to get away with as many raises as they have," Rule tells our Daniela Cambone.

Rule advises against trying to forecast markets with as many variables as there are saying, "it's trying to know the unknowable."Investors should instead focus on fortifying their portfolios, he concludes.

"The Fed's playbook is to go bigger for longer," warns Chris Versace, chief investment officer of Tematica Research. Versace tells our Daniela Cambone, "there will be 50 to 75 bps hikes at the November and December FOMC," based on the inflation data forecasted through the rest of 2022.

He urges viewers not to "fight the Fed" as the housing market rolls over and highlights that the Fed warned, "there will be some pain experienced." The strength of the U.S. dollar is holding gold down, "but other commodities are rallying such as wheat, corn, soybeans, and others," Versace concludes.

Gold is best positioned as wealth insurance, according to Mark Yaxley, managing director at Strategic Wealth Preservation. There is a misconception that gold correlates to inflation but really, "it reacts to interest rate-hikes and recessionary environments," says Mark. "Gold is still outperforming the equites market," he continues. "The U.S. dollar is the No. 1 driver for the gold price," Yaxley argues. "Premiums tell the truth on the supply and demand of metals," and most investors are waiting on the sidelines waiting for an entry point to develop. Yaxley concludes that silver under $20 is still a good deal and, "the market is in an analysis paralysis status and we're in the midst of a rate-hike cycle, so I would expect gold to react quite well."

The Fed's efforts are futile since we're already in the early stages of a global crisis, asserts Bert Dohmen, founder and president of Dohmen Capital Research. He tells our Daniela Cambone that the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war marks the first of what will be many conflicts moving forward as the global financial markets remain in disarray. "We have to get ready for the worst, we can't change what's happening, but we can protect ourselves," Dohmen says. He concludes by touting natural gas stocks as a sector to explore for lucrative gains amid today's rampant inflation because," it's designed to go up in times of crisis."

The situation is dire in Europe and, "a recession has entered America," exclaims Genevieve Roch-Decter, founder and CEO of Grit Capital. She says, "the Fed won't surprise anyone [today]," since they are just playing a game of catch-up. "[The Fed] wants to tame inflation at any cost," Roch-Decter continues. She concludes by sharing her favorite trades while facing the frightening scenario Europe is facing heading into winter.

Considering that the U.S. dollar has gone up 15% on the year, "gold has performed amazingly well," argues Gareth Soloway, president and CFO of InTheMoneyStocks.com. Gareth says that he is a huge gold bull due to the relative performance of gold to the dollar, "and the fact gold is only down 5% with the dollar up 15% says all you need to know." He continues on to say that the bond market is made up of the smartest money in the world, and it does not believe the Federal Reserve will hike rates again after Wednesday based on priced-in economic data. Soloway believes the dollar is getting ready for a reversal, "and markets will rejoice." "Crypto regulation is needed and I welcome it," he concludes.

With their monetary policy, "the Fed is not able to affect the most sticky parts of the economy yet," says Alfonso Peccatiello, publisher of the financial newsletter The Macro Compass. "Inflation remains relatively high," he says. And he believes core services and rent of shelter will be the last to be quelled. Because the drivers of inflation aren't going down, "the Fed cannot be happy about this," Peccatiello continues. "The bond market knows the more the Fed is tightening today, the more long-term damage will be done to the economy," he surmises. Peccatiello concludes that Europe will make it through the winter, "but it will cost 7% to 10% gross domestic product," and will hit the private sector severely.

The recent sell-offs seen in the U.S. stock market are, "a pullback in an otherwise bull market, and we don't see the signals the a bear market is coming," says Joel Litman, founder and CIO of Altimetry. "Bad inflation is currency devaluation," he tells our Daniela Cambone. And demand-driven inflation is not great but it's not as deadly as inflation driven by currency devaluation.

The theme that China is going to overtake the U.S. within the next five to 10 years is wrong. "The numbers just aren't there," Litman continues. There has been a credit crisis building in China over the last several years, "that's is worse than what the U.S. and Europe experienced in 2008." Litman discusses his new Perfect Stock portfolio, which you can sign up for here: https://www.perfectstock2022.com/

The Fed has decided that the dollar is strong enough, "and they don't wait it to get any stronger," says Clem Chambers, CEO of Online Blockchain Plc. He tells our Daniela Cambone that the dollar's strength has been suppressing all other assets and, "the dollar's rampant run has suddenly stopped and that's not accidental." Chambers says this is very good news for cryptos and other commodities, "and the dollar's strength can drag crypto." He remains bearish on bitcoin as a whole, saying if the digital asset breaches a $17,000 threshold it could fall all the way down to $10,000 a coin. Chambers concludes that he recently got out of the physical side of gold and has focused on [precious metals and miners] equities because of the current market conditions.

"I had more to lose than I had to gain when writing Capitalist Manifesto: How Entrepreneurs Can Save Capitalism," says Robert Kiyosaki, says best-selling author Robert Kiyosaki. "I fight for freedom and they're taking our freedoms away," he tells our Daniela Cambone on today's episode. Robert warns that, "communism has entered America via our school system." He reveals that, "the dollar is toast, and gold is money... if you can print it, I don't want it." Robert concludes by discussing why the bank of international settlements, "just upgraded gold from a tier three to tier one asset," giving precious metals the recognition they deserve.

“I think that Saudi Arabia continuing to lower production is really going to hurt Europe and the rest of the world, whereas [in the] U.S. we can continue to grow our own fossil fuels,” says Col. Jonathan Shaffer, director of business development for MBO Partners and former Pentagon strategist. He discusses many pressing international issues, including the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, the expansion of BRICS, and China's growing influence.

The 25-year Army veteran expresses concern about China’s infiltration over American entities such as the academics and corporations. However, he sees a potential World War III as unlikely to happen. “I think we have enough controls over the big levers and buttons. This is on the military side as well as diplomatically that we can likely avert that kind of an irrational act,” he says. Col. Shaffner argues that the recent expansion of BRICS signals the organization's desire for “energy dominance.” “They’re trying to expand out of just fuel commodities and move into the future value of commodities... which is going to give them power in the long run,” he concludes.

At its core, "LODE is an initiative to return silver and gold to the momentary system with blockchain technologies," claims Nicholas Prouten, chief operating officer of global payments platform LODE Payments International. "People need an asset they can trust, something that is inherently valuable, to act as a bedrock in times of crisis so that your wealth isn't devaluating," he tells our Daniela Cambone. Nicholas believes that in the near future, "almost every [asset] will be tokenized or entirely digitized so people will have a lot more flexibility on how they store their capital." He concludes by discussing dips in the market for gold and silver, saying that, "investor sentiment lies elsewhere right now, but it will return. It always does."

The Inflation Reduction Act passed last week does almost anything except address inflation, says David Morgan, author of The Silver Manifesto and founder of TheMorganReport.com. The "misnomer bill" only accelerates the current trajectory of the U.S., "and it does not end well," he tells our Daniela Cambone. Based on the current geopolitical landscape, "globalization is breaking up and is basically a failure," Morgan concludes.

"Finally we got a slowdown in the momentum of inflation," says Alfonso Peccatiello, publisher of financial newsletter The Macro Compass. And he says most of this reduction comes from energy prices and commodities. He believes the Fed's tool is one big hammer, "that consists of a combination of raising interest rates and reducing the balance sheet." Peccatiello continues on, touting long-term bonds as a good bet because, "the Federal Reserve and ECB are willing to choke the economy right now." As winter approaches, "Putin will probably squeeze [energy prices] for Europe even further," Peccatiello concludes.
