Money Metals' Weekly Market Wrap Podcast

Today we'll hear an outstanding interview with Craig Hemke of TF Metals Report. Craig shares his insights on the ridiculous sham that the gold futures market has become, how much longer it can go on, and what lies ahead in 2016 for ALL financial markets.

In this final edition of our podcast in 2015, our friend David Morgan joined us in studio over the summer for a spirited and enlightening conversation on a range of topics including the future of the mining industry and inflation versus deflation.

Today we'll hear an encore performance of one of the most explosive interviews we did this past July with GATA's Chris Powell. Chris pulled no punches on the important topic of government manipulation in the metals markets, and he has a dire warning for executives of mining companies if they continue to sit back and ignore the problem.

Chris Martenson gives us his thoughts on the first interest rate hike by the Fed in ten years, why the Fed is completely into a corner, the inherent dangers of complacency, and the role that gold and silver can serve as a part of a self-reliance plan.

Those seeking diversification away from the dollar and into hard assets have to be prepared for unpredictable price swings, whether caused by the Fed or other forces operating in the markets. Over time, though, gold and silver can be expected to maintain their purchasing power regardless of what they are priced at in terms of national currencies.

Coming up we'll hear another great interview with Michael Rivero of WhatReallyHappened.com. Michael gives us his candid commentary on a range of issues including how the Syrian refugee crisis could lead to trouble for the U.S. dollar, the likelihood of a coming economic collapse and whether or not it's time to buy or sell precious metals.

This week we share with you an enlightening and spirited interview our friend David Morgan did with Sean Kerrigan of the SGT Report recently. David and Sean answer the question on seemingly every precious metals investors' mind, which is how much longer can the manipulation in the metal markets go on?

This week we'll hear a fantastic interview with Bill Holter of JSMineset.com and the Holter/Sinclair Collaboration. Bill tells us about the implications of dwindling precious metals production in the face of what he believes will be massive worldwide demand. Also, how you'll know when it's "game over" for the dollar.

Precious metals prices are slumping this week, but that isn't taking away from the rising prominence of sound money issues. Monetary reform has ascended into the national political discussion as a centerpiece issue for some of the leading candidates for president.

Coming up we'll hear from top resource analyst and fund manager Frank Holmes of U.S. Global Investors. Frank discusses what it's going to take to get the metals moving again, and why gold and silver continue to have a tough time.

Tom Woods, renowned liberty-minded scholar, historian and author of Meltdown, Nullification, Who Killed the Constitution, and many other fabulous books joins us for a fascinating discussion. Tom shares his thoughts on the gold and silver standard our country was founded upon, how and why the Federal Reserve came to be, and the problems that have plagued us ever since.

Today we hear from John Rubino of DollarCollapse.com. John has a lot to say on how the dollar is making it tough for U.S. companies to compete in the global marketplace, what he sees ahead for silver, and some of the key drivers that may propel the white metal to new highs in the years ahead.

An encore of one of the most important interviews we've had this year. MoneyMetals.com contributor Guy Christopher speaks about estate planning and making sure you don't leave your loved ones with a nightmare.

Kevin McCarthy withdraws from the race to be the next Speaker of the House, Precious metals markets show some encouraging price action, and Michael Rivero has some shocking things to say on the conflict in Syria, Russia's emergence as a leader on the global stage and what it all could mean for the dollar and gold.

Gerald breaks down the latest in the emerging geopolitical conflict, the latest Fed decision on interest rates, why the metals markets are still so manipulated, and the role that gold and silver will play in the coming years.

The new fiscal year begins next Thursday, October 1st. If Congress and the White House can't agree on a deal to fund the government before then, that's when the shutdown will begin.

Chris gives us his take on why the Federal Reserve failed to follow through on claims they would finally raise interest rates, what they're likely to do in the months ahead, and the effects all this is going to have on the markets, including gold and silver.

The Fed meets next Wednesday and Thursday for its long-awaited decision on interest rates. September has been talked about for months now when it comes to when they may look to raise rates. Can they raise rates in this environment? If they do, are we likely to see subsequent rate increases in the months following?
