Retirement Lifestyle Advocates

(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. Join the conversation on today’s episode of Retirement Lifestyle Advocates radio with your host, Dennis Tubbergen, and guest, Mark Jeftovik, and hear his forecast for inflation, cryptocurrency, and the dollar.

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.

Two years ago, the 10-year US Treasury note was yielding .50 percent. Now it's 4.8 percent. That debt is rolling over, and the money that it costs to service that debt is skyrocketing.

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 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.

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.

Gary Shilling talks with your host Dennis Tubbergen about how the traditional leading indicators, like an inverted yield curve, are favoring the Fed and, ultimately, a recession ahead. Dr. A.

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, discusses what his technical analysis is forecasting for the stock markets, bonds, and commodities with your host, Dennis Tubbergen, on Retirement Lifestyle Advocates radio. 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 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.

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.
