I haven’t really discussed the economy in quite a while much less the current state. I know these shows are not everyone’s cup of tea but if you are concerned with your future you really do need to be informed about the current risks.
Join me today as we discuss…
- Forget left and right – conservative and liberal, this is about math!
- Social Security not takes in less money than it pays out – insolvency has begun
- Is Alan Sloan right, is a social security bail out next
- The economic geniuses say screw the deficit grow the economy – WTF!
- What the hell is going on the Dow should go under 10K today
- The U.S. Debt Clock and the numbers we never look at
- Peter Schiff says the bond market is the “mother of all bubbles”
- Where is the recovery? China and India

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.

Things are getting better right? The “green shoots” are starting to “bear fruit”. The mighty bail outs have worked! I mean come on, last winter CITI paid back their loans, GM’s President just did a commercial saying that, “repaid our government loan, in full, with interest, five years ahead of the original schedule.“ The Dow is up above 11,000 today when it was down to 6600 in March of 2009. Everything is wonderful right? Not so fast!
Join me today as we discuss…
- Did GM really pay back the American people “with interest”, NO!
- Did CITI really make good out its piece of the bailout, NO!
- The hidden bail out, free, well almost free money
- One of the “hidden bail outs” – Interest Rate Swaps
- Another hidden bail out – cheap money for the banks – so they can counterfeit more
- Who will really pay the cost of “Financial Reform of Wall Street”
- What does the Financial Reform Bill Actually Say
- Obama says debt is cancer, well after racking up trillions of dollars of it
- Why nothing has changed or will change when it comes to US debt

Today we do sort of a two part show. I start out with a bit of commentary of a few stories, two actually related to land values and dependence on city based economies. I then move onto todays main subject, the value of rural land. I will also cover a lot of buying and negociating advice and give you some actual market prices of what is available right now.
Join me today as we discuss…
- A great post and video on ITS Tactical
- Marlin Firearms is closing their North Haven, CT plant
- Detroit is dying and the lesson we learn from it
- Why rural land has not fallen in value the way most real estate has
- Really considering the decision to go “off grid”

Rather than a typical listener question show today I decided to bring together 5 news events that were sent in by various listeners. The first one is not that obvious as to why it applies to the other four but I bring them all together at the end. We also bring in a recent 5 minute speech from Congressmen Ron Paul today.
Join me today as we discuss…
