Murray Gunn, the head of global research at Elliott Wave International, joins your host, Dennis Tubbergen, today on Retirement Lifestyle Advocates radio. Mr. Gunn explains the concept of Elliott wave analysis, which is a model of the economy that identifies repeatable patterns in market behavior. He discusses how these patterns can be used to forecast price developments in various markets, including currencies, commodities, and stocks. Gunn warns that the stock market may experience a decline in 2024, based on Elliott wave analysis and the presence of a Dow Theory non-confirmation, and suggests that cash and certain corporate bonds may be good investment options during this period. Gunn also introduces the concept of socionomics, which posits that social mood drives social actions and can be observed in the stock market and other cultural trends. He speculates that China may experience negative social actions in the near future based on a long-term price pattern and the country's negative social mood. Murray Gunn is Head of Global Research at Elliott Wave International. He worked as a fund manager in global bonds, currencies, and stocks, including long posts at Standard Life Investments and the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority. He then joined HSBC Bank as Head of Technical Analysis.

Michael Oliver, the founder of Momentum Structural Analysis, joins your host, Dennis Tubbergen, for this episode of Retirement Lifestyle Advocates to discuss his unique approach to analyzing markets and his predictions for the future. Oliver believes that 2024 and 2025 will be years of massive price and market movements that will benefit and hurt people depending on their positions. He also discusses the health of the US economy, stating that while the US is not currently in a recession, it will be in the future due to the paper stock market bubble and the errors made in financial decision-making based on the false premise of the cost of money. Oliver predicts a major bear market in stocks and a downward trend in US treasuries and suggests that investors should consider moving into gold and gold-related assets as a safe haven. Michael Oliver has been studying markets for over four decades, but it was the 1987 stock market crash that became his “aha!” moment and converted him to what he calls “momentum structural analysis.” Mr. Oliver is the CEO of Momentum Structural Analysis LLC based in Greensboro, North Carolina. He is also the author of The New Libertarianism: Anarcho-Capitalism.

McHugh highlights five fundamental economic points that suggest a potential economic recession and stock market crash.

This week’s edition of Retirement Lifestyle Advocates radio features an interview with Alasdair McLeod, the head of research at GoldMoney. Your host, Dennis Tubbergen, talks with McLeod about the potential impact of the BRICS Coalition on the US dollar as an international reserve currency. McLeod suggests that the US is already fighting back against the expansion of BRICS, citing Argentina's recent decision to back off from China and adopt the US dollar as its currency. However, the influence of Russia and China within BRICS will continue to spread, leading to a decrease in the use of the US dollar and potentially weakening the currency in the long term. McLeod also discusses the possibility of a gold-backed currency in the future and the risks associated with the large amount of US dollar holdings held internationally. He suggests that a rush to liquidate these assets could be difficult for the US to handle and could lead to a significant devaluation of the dollar. McLeod emphasizes the importance of understanding the global credit situation and the potential for a collapse of fiat currencies, which could lead to a significant rise in the value of gold. Alasdair Macleod is the head of research at Gold Money Holding, a well-respected author, and a noted expert in world economics. Mr. Macleod has been a celebrated stockbroker and Member of the London Stock Exchange for over four decades.

The yield curve has been inverted for over a year, which is unusual and suggests a recession is likely on the horizon. Our guest this week, Karl Denninger, discusses with your host, Dennis Tubbergen, the inverted yield curve and its implications for the economy, along with other economic indicators, such as retail sales and housing sales, which suggest that the economy is already in a recession. Denninger warns of the potential consequences of the US government's high levels of debt and the need to refinance that debt at higher interest rates. He predicts that this could lead to higher borrowing costs across the economy and a significant drawdown in stock markets. Mr. Karl Denninger is an American technology businessman, finance blogger, author, and political activist, sometimes referred to as a founding member of the Tea Party movement. Mr. Denninger is the author of the book Leverage: How Cheap Money Will Destroy the World.

(Replay) Inflation went from “transient” to, “it's good for you” to, “we've got to do something before we have a revolution on our hands”. But (the Fed) they're kind of trapped now because they can't keep raising (interest rates) because we're seeing what's happening to the debt and the bond markets. They can't raise and they can't lower and they can't stay where they are. They've really painted themselves into a corner, pretty well all the central banks have.

We all know that central banks and governments don’t present accurate economic data. While they report inflation at roughly 4 percent, we all know from our own experience at the grocery, gas pump, and just about everywhere else we spend money that inflation is likely much closer to 20 percent annually.

We have said for many years that the easy money policies of recent years end in inflation followed by deflation, or deflation. This week's guest on Retirement Lifestyle Advocates radio, Mr. Kerry Lutz, echoed that idea in his conversation with your host, Dennis Tubbergen. In response, Lutz sees that in an inflationary environment, the price and purchasing of gold go higher, and in a deflationary environment, the price of gold goes lower, but the purchasing power goes much higher. You’ll want to hear the whole conversation as they also discuss the stock market, real estate, and much more. Kerry Lutz has been a student of Austrian Economics since 1977. While attending Pace University, he stumbled upon an extensive cache of Austrian Economic Literature in a dark, musty, abandoned section of the school’s library.

Historically, the life span of a world reserve currency is about 80-100 years. So, it’s no surprise that the BRICS countries, who now represent over 40% of the world population and oil production, would be working together to replace the US Dollar with a new trade currency, likely one backed by commodities including gold. As our first-time guest on Retirement Lifestyle Advocates radio, Mr. Kevin Demeritt, suggested, this could push the price of gold to as much as $5,000 an ounce in the next 2-3 years. He talks with your host, Dennis Tubbergen, about how central banks around the world are accumulating gold at volumes not seen in 50 years. As the Founder of Lear Capital, Kevin DeMeritt's knowledge of economic cycles, financial trends, sovereign debt, and diversification strategies has helped to establish Lear as one of the most highly respected and routinely endorsed precious metals companies in the country.

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.

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.

Could gold reach $8000 and Silver $200?

A very popular guest, Mr. Alasdair Macleod, joins your host Dennis Tubbergen on Retirement Lifestyle Advocates radio this week to explain just what a new gold-backed trade settlement currency might mean for the price of gold and, more importantly, how it might work to undermine the US dollar, the availability of credit, and the whole of western economies.

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 of an ongoing bear market. He discusses with your host, Dennis Tubbergen, that people think that the bull market is back because they don't want to think about a bear market. The point of realization comes in the third wave down, that's when we can see quite a dramatic turn down in the stock markets. Murray Gunn is Head of Global Research at Elliott Wave International. He worked as a fund manager in global bonds, currencies, and stocks, including long posts at Standard Life Investments and the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority.

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 going to see inflation go away until that happens. Your host, Dennis Tubbergen, talks with Karl Denninger this week on Retirement Lifestyle Advocates radio about the economic challenges that lie ahead. It’s an enlightening conversation you’ll want to hear. Mr. Karl Denninger is an American technology businessman, finance blogger, author, and political activist, sometimes referred to as a founding member of the Tea Party movement. Mr. Denninger is the author of the book Leverage: How Cheap Money Will Destroy the World. In the book, Denninger presents an inside look at how moneyed and powerful interests debase the dollar through the willful and intentional failure to honestly represent short and long-term mathematical truths that underlie all economic systems.

This week on Retirement Lifestyle Advocates radio, our guest Karl Denninger talks with your host Dennis Tubbergen about how these programs culminate in what Denninger calls a Demographic Disaster.
