How's This for a Choice?

How's This for a Choice?

Once in a while I just need to take the time to chat with you guys about what is going on and perhaps clean up some things from past episodes as well.

Today is such a day.  Likely as in most instances when I speak my mind I will tick some of you off, hence I ask you to listen to the second bullet point today with your heart and truly think about something I am going to describe and ask you to consider.

Survival is not just waking up alive the next day, plenty of people will survive the coming economic collapse for instance but how much misery will they endure that could be avoided, we will examine that and many other things today.  Hope you enjoy the show.

Join Me Today As I Discuss…

  • The new enzyme Steven Harris is bringing to market is a big deal
  • The great lie of dichotomy and a ridiculous scenario it creates
  • Why I believe the current economic system must collapse
  • What can we do between now and “economic doomsday”
  • Why many people will likely survive economic collapse in misery
  • Why I believe we should be optimistic and hopeful going forward
  • Who wins if people ignore reality
  • Who wins if people freak out
  • Who wins if people prepare
  • Why the next president won’t really make a difference
  • Why no one can fix the problem with the current system
  • What you should do for yourself regardless of who or where you are

Today the Dow is once again nearing all time highs, the spin machine tells us that unemployment is dropping and the economy is really picking up steam, Mike Gasior would call it a “wonderful fiction”.  So what do I think, I think we are right where I said we would be back in early 2009, on our way to the glorious false recovery.

Join Me Today as We Discuss…

  • A quick listen of some of my statements from 3-9-09
  • The unspoken reality of current silver and gold prices
    • The price of one share of the Dow in silver and gold
    • The price of a 150,000 dollar home in silver and gold
    • The value of a dollar in silver and gold
    • The value of four 1964 quarters
    • Buying a house with 2012 vs. 1964 quarters
  • More cities talk about bankruptcy like Stockton, CA and Providence, RI
  • What happens when “someone pulls the thread”
  • What will people do when the system fails
  • Does anybody win when the system fails
  • Is there a way out, does it hurt us even more if it happens

Episode-863- Chris Duane on Constitional Silver

US Silver Coin is "Constitutional Silver"

US Silver Coin is "Constitutional Silver"

Chris Duane is an interesting guy, he is the founder of The Sons of Liberty Academy and The Greatest Truth Never Told and runs a blog called Don’t-Tread-on.Me all dedicated to educating people about our flawed monetary system.  How he got to that point is the more interesting part of the story to me though.

Chris’ family had 7 car dealerships in New Jersey, Salerno Duane Auto Group so he was doing quite well in corporate America.  However in 2005 he sold his house at the top of NJ’s housing bubble went all in on gold, silver and oil. Then in 2007 he was offered the opportunity to join the board of Heritage Community Bank but turned it down and told all of the partners “they were nuts to be starting a bank in the current cycle”.

So in 2008 he sold everything and walked away from his inheritance to get out of the area ironically just three months before the car business imploded. Later in 2009 he began helping people to do foreclosure investing but later quit doing that in 2011 focus full time on the dollar collapse.

His first action in warning about the pending dollar collapse was the foundation of The Sons of Liberty Academy to help people learn what he had uncovered in the past 6 years of study and real life application of his principles.  He later founded the blog Dont-Tread-On.Me to bring attention to the Academy.  Chris is now consulting with the Silver Shield Report and putting out an updated version of the Academy called the Greatest Truth Never Told.

Fernando FerFAL Aguirre on Surviving an Economic Collapse [ 1:18:55 ] Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

Surviving the Economic Collapse is a First Hand Account of a Modern Economic Collapse

Fernando “FerFAL” Aguirre is 31 years old and lives in Buenos Aires, Argentina, with his wife and two children. He started writing about urban survivalism after experiencing first hand the socioeconomic collapse of his country in 2001. The everyday experience of living in Argentina after the collapse provides Fernando a wealth of experience that he shares with his readers through his blog and book.

Fernando is the author of “Surviving the Economic Collapse” which has been a Emergency and Disaster best seller since its release in 2009.  He brings a voice of realism to this topic of economic collapse.

Basically Fernando’s message is everything the TV and Hollywood have told you bears very little resemblance to reality.

Join Fernando and I today as we discuss…

  • What exactly happened in Argentina in December of 2001
  • What can Americans learn from what happened in Argentina
  • What can we do now to protect ourselves from what is coming
  • The role of precious metals in a collapse economy
  • Why cash is still king in a economic collapse
  • What effect does an economic collapse have on criminal activity
  • Why small town rural areas beat out both remote retreats and cities
  • Setting up effective home security
  • The role dogs play in home security
  • What to carry in way of guns, knives and other defensive tools
  • Learning to defend yourself in real combat scenarios
  • Why bugging out may be leaving the country at certain times

Episode-770- Modern Financial Survival

Posted on October 25, 2011 by Modern Survival| 43 Comments
Episode-770- Modern Financial Survival [ 1:15:12 ] Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

Yesterday I stated that we are about to in effect go into the middle of a financial war.  I am not sure the analogy was fully understood it wasn’t so much about fighting the battle but more about the way that even if good is the end result how many can be harmed in the process.

This resulted in a litany of people trying to nit pick about the justification for WWII, why the US prospered after the war, etc.   Such people are literalists that don’t comprehend analogies and tell “ants are socialists”, when you tell them the ant and grasshopper story.

Today I will revisit a few things people took exception to (very briefly) and will spend most of the show outlining my “modern financial survival guide” for the coming future.

Join Me Today as We Discuss…

  • Is the Catholic Church calling for a “World Bank” and global tax or not
  • What exactly do I mean by a financial war
  • Why do I believe so emphatically that I am right about the coming collapse
  • What I think you need to do to be financially prepared for the future
    • Get rid of debt (especially floating rate debt)
    • Try to save at least 20% of your income (6 months security)
    • Know your exit points for every investment
    • If you are in stocks by only the best companies
    • Do not hold any and I mean any long term bonds
    • Keep an eye on TIPS Bond Yields
    • Remember most “experts” on TV are actually idiots
    • Develop your local community
    • Don’t bet on any government money (specifically @ 100%)
    • Consider land as the best investment (not houses)
    • Increase your financial IQ daily – start with vocabulary
    • Focus on gaining some % of self sufficiency with the 5 needs
    • Try to be as “cash rich” as possible
    • Don’t act in fear, think before you do anything
    • Do not listen to conventional wisdom during unconventional times
    • Remember the prepared can always profit and prosper

Episode-760- What Have You Done With My Country

Episode-760- What Have You Done With My Country [ 1:07:08 ] Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

I have a ton of things on my mind after coming back from Salt Lake City based on questions that were asked in the booth.  Many subjects came up but the number one was…

When will the economy collapse and what will that collapse look like?

The people asking this ran the spectrum from tin hat types to normal every day people who were just concerned about their families.  What shocked me the most was I would tell them what I thought, Fernando Aguirre who went though a collapse in Argentina got up on stage and told them what a collapse looks like and our words were almost identical.  Yet most of those asking questions were not very receptive to the answer to their own questions.

Today I am going to go into this subject again, I will discuss the role of the Fed, debt and the elite banking layer play in it and what you must do to be prepared for it.

Join Me Today to Discuss…

  • What ever the TV, novel or guy selling how to stuff says is probably wrong
  • Yes a second “great depression” is bad enough
  • Why the Fed must go and how bad it will hurt at first
  • How money is currently created and how you are taxed with inflation
  • Why a “gold standard” won’t fix the problem
  • The cold hard facts about downward class migration
  • What a 50% inflation rate means to you
  • The coming depression that has already begun
  • Why I believe one last period of false hope will proceed the big crash
  • Why time lines are less important then destinations
  • What you need to start doing right now
    • Reduce debt
    • Reduce expenses
    • Build skill sets
    • Increase self sufficiency percentages
    • Build community
    • Protect your existing assets
    • Become informed about your surroundings
    • Perform a risk assessment
    • Have both bug in and bug out plans
    • Have faith in the future

Episode-725- Mike Gasior on the Current Economic Mess

Episode-725- Mike Gasior on the Current Economic Mess [ 1:15:53 ] Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

Mike Gasior is with us today, Mike is a consummate expert, he has authored ten textbooks on investments and the investment markets, and over 700,000 people worldwide read his monthly newsletter.

His breakthrough radio program “Big Money with Mike Gasior”, which aired worldwide on the VoiceAmerica Radio Network, was one the first shows ever to focus on the needs, concerns and issues faced by the world’s largest investors and Mike is a regular guest on the “Naked Short Club” show in London.

He is also the founder of AFS Seminars in 1989 after spending time with several Wall Street firms and a major European bank. In his teaching he uses anecdotes and lessons drawn from his lifetime of experience with economics, investments and the financial markets to deliver knowledge with a dynamic, interactive teaching style that I find to be among the best in the industry.

And we are fortunate to have him here with us today on The Survival Podcast.

Please Note – Mike’s voice became somewhat distorted at the very end of today’s show.  During the recording session he sounded fine on my end and there was no way to correct it after the fact.  I did my best to clean it up but there are limits to what can be done with such distortions.  I am going to suggest to Mike that he come fully into the 21st century and get a Skype account for future interviews.
