697: The Quickest Way to Lose a Trillion Dollars



"

Apparently, if you want to watch a trillion dollars vaporize in 2018 all that's required is a 1% rise in interest rates.

No, I'm not kidding you. It's science. (thanks, Ron Burgandy)

They can actually calculate what a 1% rise in interest rates will mean to the value of bonds, and it turns out to be a loss of 1.2 billion dollars.

I've been warning for a long time that the next great crash will probably originate in the bond market. Rapidly rising interest rates due to a lack of confidence or the need to stave off inflation would crush the economy due to the massive number of leveraged bondholders.

It's something to keep an eye on as you plan for the future.

***
"Secret Society". That's the big buzz word today. Republicans say they have text messages as well as a whistleblower that confirms a group of people at DOJ and the FBI met off-site after Donald Trump was elected president, presumably to discuss how to damage his agenda and reputation.

How much of this is true? We don't know because we don't have the text messages or the whistleblower to corroborate what the Republicans are saying. From what I can tell the story is a bit overblown and I'll explain on today's show.

***
What holds you back from success? Is it the government? Is it high taxes, regulation...or is it your own limiting beliefs about what's holding you back?

I've got a stack of stories covering the bonuses, pay raises, and stock options companies are handing out to their employee's thanks to the recent tax cut.

But the more I read, the more frustrated I get because I have the sense people are focused on the wrong things.

Today I'll give you what I hope is some motivation to throw off your old beliefs and challenge yourself to achieve more this year.

Have a great Day!

696: We got a problem



"

It turns out retail investors are sitting on less cash than they ever. That means the majority of their money is invested and NOT sitting on the sidelines.

And can you blame them?

The market just continues to climb. Everyone is suggesting it's going to go higher. Sure, there are a few voices on the outside suggesting we might be running hot, or even headed for a disaster but in a world where yield is scarce what else you can do?

You stay invested, you invest more. It's the blind leading the blind right now, but I'm reminded of some very sage advice I got when I was learning to trade.

"When the retail money shows up, it's time to get out."

What that means is, when uneducated money is the fuel for a stock, sector or market it's time for you to look for an exit because that's what all the smart money is doing.

How do we know the smart money from the dumb money? That's the catch. You only find out after the market corrects.

I'm not saying get out; I'm not saying stay in. What I'm saying is this market is no longer running on sound fundamentals, and the stupidest investors on earth have the bulk of their wealth invested. If that doesn't give you pause, I don't know what will.

What would happen if robots took over everything? Would we create a two-tiered society of have and have-nots? Would we see massive unemployment as entire industries are replaced with AI robots?

Answer a simple question for me...

WHEN in history has an increase in technology and production lead to an overall decline in a societies standard of living?

Even if you look at war and the massive increased in the technology used for violence, the overall result has been a decrease in casualties due to the discriminating nature of the tools of war now being utilized.

It's silly to think our lives will be diminished with the advancement of AI. Jobs will be lost, that's a given, but there will always be a place for humanity to provide value and meaning to themselves and others if they only seek to find it.

Enjoy!

695: FISA Abuses, Government Shutdowns, and Rogue Asteroids?



"

Yeah, that last one got me too. It appears that in an attempt to make the shutdown sound as bad as humanly possible CNN may have overstepped in it's reporting when it suggested an asteroid might strike earth while NASA's program to monitor the sky was on hold.

I question the need for the program at all given the fact that there's nothing you can do about it if a gigantic rock decided to crash into earth. Better to just live in blissful ignorance.

***
We're also talking FISA and the memo floating around claiming widespread abuses. What I find funny is CNN again decided to refute the claims by bringing on disgraced Director of National Intelligence James Clapper to claim he knew of no abuses while serving as DNI.

Luckily he's not under oath this time, so when the truth comes out, he won't be eligible for another purgery charge.

***
Finally, we'll turn to California where a couple of economically illiterate assemblymen want a new 10% tax on any business that nets over a million dollars a year.

You'd think people would learn from the mistakes of the past, so they don't repeat them, but most of the politicians I've known seem to live in a kind of reality denial that allows them to support and promote the most ridiculous ideas for the sake of their ideology.

Enjoy the Show!

693: Tieing Venezuela to Bitcoin and US Bond Prices



"

As you know, we don't do anything in a vacuum here. All the news I discuss is carried forward from day to day, and on this episode, I've got a lot to share.

As you know, Venezuela is in turmoil. They are in the final throws of economic collapse brought on by socialist policies run amuck.

But how much of Venezuela's problems is America facing? We'll discuss today.

692: Government Shutdown, North Korea and Poverty in America



"

Apparently, a clean bill of health from the president's doctor isn't enough to stop CNN from questioning, among other things, his calcium count.

Can I just ask...is anyone shocked that the 71-year-old narcissist president doesn't have a SINGLE medical issue? I guess it's possible but come on. LOL

All that said, CNN is no longer legitimate news. It's embarrassing to watch.

***
Let's talk government shutdown. Is it going to happen? I wouldn't be surprised if it did.

Logic might dictate that the Democrats would get shackled with the backlash from a shutdown resulting from their unwillingness to negotiate a short-term stop-gap but if you think that, you'd be wrong.

No, this time the shutdown is happening because the president rejected a deal he said he would accept and Democrats "care" too much about the "children" to allow a funding bill to go through without DACA.

***
More tough talk over North Korea. This time it's Senator Ted Cruz who said, "It's time for North Korea to fear what America will do next."

But there is one shining light from congresswoman Tusi Gabbard who gave a very clear rationale for North Koreas actions. I'll play you the clip on today's show.

691: Stocks, BTC and the Emerging Trade War With China



"

The Stock market gapped up to nearly 26,000 today and briefly spiked above it before retreating. As of this writing, we're resting near yesterdays close.

It's a bad sign (when the market gaps and retreats like that). It's a signal a retracement is coming.

More and more people are starting to sound warning bells about the euphoria in the market, but nobody wants to miss the upside.

If you need an example of this, you can look at bitcoin. I don't like it as an investment due to the high volatility, but my warnings of an impending disaster have been met with an explosion in the price of the aspiring currency.

If you're a fund manager, you can't afford to be out of this market even if you think the wheels are coming off because if you're early, even by a little, you'll miss earnings and your investors will bail.

It's a big problem on Wallstreet. Nobody wants to be the first one out. Everyone rides the wave until the recession hits and when the dive happens, you just hope you lose a little less than everyone else.

I've always said no one cares more about your money than you do and if you want to really control your financial destiny, you need to understand what is happening with your investments.

***
We're also going to discuss the potential Trade war with China as the US seeks to impose new tariffs and quotas on Chinese imports.

There's a lot of different concerns when it comes to tariffs, but I thought I'd spend a little time discussing the issue in detail.

690: Trump, DACA and the Cluster in Washington



"

OUTRAGE! OUTRAGE!

Lots of people screaming about the president's comments over immigrants from "shithole" countries.

Truth is this entire debate is about using young as political pawns in a game to get more money and more "stuff".

Frankly, I don't have any respect for someone who would do that or the group of men providing cover for the president as he does it.

This is my first show from the new studio in LA, and I'd love to tell you it was a barn burner but there were a lot of moving pieces. All I can say is, the show is going to ROCK this year.

Finally, before I let you go I wanted to let you know that I will be the keynote speaker at the San Diego Libertarian Party Convention on January 27th. I'm going to put together a meetup for anyone who wants to attend.

Here are the details:

Until Tomorrow,

Today I am going to review the Alien Gear Gun Belt, to which works nicely with the Alien Gear Gun Holster (see my review at - http://www.techlibertyblog.com/index.cfm/2017/1/30/Holster-review-2--Alien-Gear-Holsters)

At the bottom I have a video of my year and a half review of the gun belts. 

 Watch this video on D.Tube - https://d.tube/v/jmrados/1zj5mfia

These belts are big, they are thick and they are sturdy. The hardware on them is very nicely made and it definately has a feeling of actual metal and not some chrome finished fake metal stuff that you usually find on belts. 

These are not your typical belts that you can find at the local store, they are much more than that. They have a steel core in the middle, which is sewn between 2 slabs of thick sturdy leather. Even if you do not have a gun to carry, but you want a nice thick sturdy belt, these are the way to go s they will get the job done and then some. 

I put this belt up to the test with my holster with a gun in it and 2 other belts and the other belts were twisting really bad compared to this one. There was some twist in the Gun Belt, but nothing compared to the twist of the other ones. The 2 other ones that I had used were not belts out of the bargain bag from the store either. 

I bought 2 of the belts with the holster deal back in August of 2016 and I wear them quite often. With most belts that I have owned, they start to stretch out after a few months of wearing them, especially if you carry a gun with you and you dont want your pants sagging down. With this gun belt, I have not noticed any stretching at all, possiblly due to the steel core and the 2 thick slabs of leather that is sewn on both sides of the steel core. 

I feel that these belts are definately worth the money. 

Just wanted to state, since I did not in the video that I am not getting paid by Alien Gear for this review. They just make a good product and wanted to do a review on it. 

I was going to provide a link to the gun belts here, but I was not able to find a link to the gun belts on their website, so I contacted them to find out if they even make them anymore. I had found out that they do not and this was the reply that I had received. 

"It is true that we are no longer making the gun belts. We were helping Bigfoot Gun Belts get their brand off the ground and now they have fully taken over the belt line. Bigfoot is our sister company and they make the exact same belts that we used to manufacture with just a different logo.

 You can reach Bigfoot Gun Belts at www.gunbelts.com or by calling 208-209-7321."

Here is a video of my review.

• 2 cups heavy whipping cream
• 3/4 cup of Splenda, Stevia, Truvia, Xylitol, Sorbitol or Erythritol
• 4 egg yolks
• 1/4 tsp xantham gum
• 2 - 3 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 Tbsp butter
• 2 - 3 tsp banana extract

Prepare a pie crust.
Add the cream, xantham gum and the into a pot and mix it up. Keep it on the burner on medium heat just to the point before it starts to boil, while stirring frequently
Take some of the cream out of the pot and add it into the bowl with the egg yolks, and then mix the hot cream with the egg yolks to temper them.
Once the yolk mixture has been tempered, add it to the pot with the cream. Turn the heat down on the pot and keep stirring until it thickens.
To see if it is thick enough add a rubber scraper to the cream mixture and then take it out and run your finger across. When the line you ran
with your finger stays, then it should be thick enough. Add in the vanilla, banana extract and the butter to the hot cream mixture.
At this point you can either add the pudding mixture into the pie crust and chill, or you can add the mixture to your pie crust and bake it in the oven
for 15 - 20 minutes to thicken it up some more.
Place the pie in the fridge for a few hours to chill.

Top with whipped cream if desired.
