2023-11-12 EXPERT INTERVIEW – MARK JEFTOVIC

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.

Mark E. Jeftovic Mark is a 30-year veteran of the Internet, the co-founder & CEO of easyDNS Technologies, a Toronto-based web services company, and the author of two books about the internet; Unassailable: Protect Yourself from Cancel-Culture, and Deplatform Attacks, and other Online Disasters.

2023-10-29 EXPERT INTERVIEW – EGON VON GREYERZ

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. Globally, debt is over 330 trillion today, and the derivatives market is estimated to exceed $2 quadrillion. Don’t miss this week’s episode of Retirement Lifestyle Advocates radio, where your host, Dennis Tubbergen, talks with Egon von Greyerz about his forecast for how global debt and derivatives risk will be reconciled and what that means for the future of our economy, the markets, and the financial system. Spoiler alert… it ain’t pretty.

He began his professional life in Geneva, Switzerland, as a banker and thereafter spent 17 years as the Finance Director and Executive Vice-Chairman of Dixons Group Plc. During the 1990s, Egon von Greyerz became actively involved with financial investment activities, including mergers and acquisitions and asset allocation consultancy for private family funds.

Joining your host, Dennis Tubbergen, on Retirement Lifestyle Advocates radio this week is economist and demographics expert Harry Dent.

2023-10-15 EXPERT INTERVIEW – KERRY LUTZ

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.

2023-09-17 EXPERT INTERVIEW – KEVIN DEMERITT

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. With his roots in international banking, Kevin DeMeritt has consistently demonstrated an uncanny ability to anticipate financial trends and help investors profit accordingly. A respected analyst, a sought-after financial expert, and a celebrated author, his book The Bulls, The Bears and The Bust, predicted the market crash of 2001 and the ensuing rise of gold as a safe haven investment.

2023-09-10 EXPERT INTERVIEW – JOHN RUBINO

All the leading indicators, and all other indicators that have heretofore marked the onset of economic recession, suggest that 2024 could be a rough year. Our guest on Retirement Lifestyle Advocates radio this week, John Rubino, talks with your host, Dennis Tubbergen, about his thoughts on the likelihood of a recession.

2023-08-06 EXPERT INTERVIEW – MICHAEL OLIVER

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?

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. Since 1992 Momentum Structural Analysis has provided unique technical research to the financial industry – banks, RIAs, hedge funds, and mutual funds – as well as to individual investors.

2023-07-23 EXPERT INTERVIEW – MURRAY GUNN

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 turndown 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. He then joined HSBC Bank as Head of Technical Analysis. Murray is the author of Trading Regime Analysis (Wiley, 2009) and a contributor to Socionomic Studies of Society and Culture (Socionomics Institute Press, 2017).

The Constitution provides for three branches of government, but now we’ve got this fourth branch which contains a permanent class of bureaucrats that nobody elected.

2023-07-02 EXPERT INTERVIEW – DR. CHARLES NENNER

2023-06-25 EXPERT INTERVIEW – KARL DENNINGER

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.

2023-06-04 EXPERT INTERVIEW – DR. ROBERT MCHUGH

The Great Depression of the 1930s was a Supercycle wave four down. So, this is a level higher or worse than that, and that’s what’s just starting. It’ll probably last at least 10 years, maybe more, and it’s going to do a lot of damage and probably change the way we see the world. That’s not to scare everyone, but according to our guest this week on Retirement Lifestyle Advocates radio, technical analyst Dr. Robert McHugh, you can hope for the best, but best to plan for the worst.

2023-05-07 EXPERT INTERVIEW – MICHAEL PENTO

The problem in the banking system is pretty simple, for ten out of the last fourteen years, mortgage rates have been well below the effective Fed funds rate today, which is 5.1%. So, bank assets are yielding very, very low-income streams to banks. Alternatively, you can go out right now and get over 5% on a risk-free ultra-short-term treasury note. No liquidity risks, no duration risks, nothing. This week on Retirement Lifestyle Advocates radio, our guest, Michael Pento, talks with your host, Dennis Tubbergen, about the banking crisis and the Fed’s next move.

2023-04-30 EXPERT INTERVIEW – JOHN RUBINO

The money supply is shrinking. For the first time since the early 70’s, the FED is shrinking the US money supply; and it’s going down pretty dramatically.  Sometime in the next year, the government’s going to be confronted with a dilemma: does it ramp up the money supply at the cost of possibly reigniting inflation and causing the instability that flows from rising inflation, or does it let a large number of entities fail and just hope for the best? Our guest this week, Mr. John Rubino, provides and excellent perspective on the US economy in his conversation with your host, Dennis Tubbergen, on Retirement Lifestyle Advocates radio.

John Rubino is founder of the financial website DollarCollapse.com.

2023-04-16 EXPERT INTERVIEW – ALASDAIR MACLEOD

When you look at the FDIC insurance programs that insure bank deposits, the deposit insurance reserve fund has about 170 billion in it to ensure $11 trillion of bank deposits. However, the idea that the insurance fund is there just to protect small depositors is very misleading. The primary duty of a modern central bank is to ensure the integrity of the commercial banking system; that means that all depositors must be protected. Our guest this week on Retirement Lifestyle Advocates radio is Mr. Alasdair Macleod. He shares a brilliant perspective on the banking industry and the future of Western currencies in his conversation with your host, Dennis Tubbergen.

2023-02-26 EXPERT INTERVIEW – KARL DENNINGER

Since the Great Society programs started, we have provided profound disincentives to people on the right-hand side of the bell curve to have children while simultaneously creating large incentives for people on the left side of that curve. It’s the people on the right side of those curves who are the ones that end up being successful and therefore paying taxes, and, as a result, they’re the ones that drive the economy. This week on Retirement Lifestyle Advocates radio, our guest Karl Denninger talks with your host Dennis Tubbergen about how these programs are culminating in what Denninger calls a Demographic Disaster.

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.

2022-12-11 EXPERT INTERVIEW – KARL DENNINGER

The Federal Reserve is not likely to return to Quantitative Easing, creating dollars that is because that will stoke hyperinflation. The problem with hyperinflation is that hyperinflation reliably destroys governments, and that means them. Our guest this week on Retirement Lifestyle Advocates makes a good argument on this topic in his conversation with your host Dennis Tubbergen. Deflation, on the other hand, gets a lot of people very angry and leads to a lot of upheaval, but it doesn’t typically take governments down.

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.

2022-09-25 EXPERT INTERVIEW – BRIEN LUNDIN

In the 1970s, when Paul Volcker was cranking up interest rates to kill off inflation, he could do that because the size of the federal debt was only about 30% of the GDP at the time. Today, the federal debt is about 130% of GDP.  No matter what Jerome Powell’s intentions are, even if he has the same fortitude as Volcker had in fighting inflation, he just doesn’t have the tools. In fact, he has nothing he can really do.

2022-08-21 EXPERT INTERVIEW – JEFFREY A. TUCKER

The Biden administration is bragging about all the great new jobs that are being created.

The markets are down over 20 percent this year, but it’s only the beginning according to our guest this week on Retirement Lifestyle Advocates radio, Mr. Michael Oliver. “We’re talking about a 12-year plus bull market that went vertical on the S&P, sevenfold increase due to monetary policy and credit, and a 16-fold increase in the Nasdaq-100.

Your host Dennis Tubbergen talks with Mr. Oliver about the markets, and why gold doesn’t behave like other commodities.

2022-07-03 EXPERT INTERVIEW – JOHN RUBINO

What the fed has to do is to sacrifice the currency to avoid a 1930s-style depression. They’re going to almost explicitly say, “We’re going to let the dollar fall as far as it has to fall. We’ve got to protect jobs, et cetera, et cetera. We can’t let the economy just go completely bust.

2022-06-12 EXPERT INTERVIEW – SIMON POPPLE

While inflation of the current magnitude hasn’t been seen since the late 1970s and early 1980s, we’re not likely to see the type of response from the Fed, vis-à-vis Volker raising interest rates to 20%. This week’s guest on Retirement Lifestyle Advocates radio is Simon Popple, who points out that central banks around the world have created tremendous amounts of currency with interest rates of 1 percent or less. Just raising the rates to 2 percent equates to a 100 percent increase in the cost of serving that debt.

2022-05-08 EXPERT INTERVIEW – KARL DENNINGER

Congress has defrauded the American public by claiming we could issue this credit that is created from deficit spending by the United States Federal Government and sequesters it overseas. Our guest this week on the Retirement Lifestyle Advocates radio program, Karl Denninger, talks with your host Dennis Tubbergen about how the Biden administration has overplayed its hand by confiscating Russia’s dollar assets.

We’re in the danger zone. The magic number for the 10-year treasury yield that we can’t go beyond is probably a little bit lower than it was in 2018.
