We discussed some of Gerald Celente’s predictions back in Episode 97 of The Survival Podcast but yesterday I watched a new video (embedded below). I really think Gerald may be on to a few things for 09, the only question is to what degree will he be right?
Tune in today to hear…
Who is Gerald Celente, why should we listen to him?
Why we might just really see a commercial real estate crash in 2009
What such a crash might mean for an already weakened economy
What Celene thinks of Obama, and his non partisan view of Bush (Bush sucked too)
What I see happening to commercial real estate in a 1 mile by 4 mile area in a “booming” area
What watching one retail space go vacant while new ones are being built next to it really means
Why we may very well see “tax revolts” and how it is directly connected to commercial real estate
How tax revolts might look and what their impacts could be
Is Mexico about to turn into a third world nation?
What would 20 Million or more refugees from Mexico en mass mean for the U.S.

In this edition of The Survival Podcast we cover six things effecting the future of our economy that are not really being talked about. We also officially announced our Listener Appreciation Contest.
Today we discuss six major economic trials coming for the US and the world they include..
FAS 157 that take away some of the gray book keeping by US Banks and Insurance companies but still let Freddie Mac hide billions in losses.
The combined effect growing illegal immigrants and universal health care will place on an economy already 100 Trillion in the hole. Along with how this is just another attempt to institute a new form of class warfare.
The rise of China as a global capitalist force and what it may mean for us long term.
The fact that Gas in the US has hit a tipping point that the oil companies have recognized and pushed off additional costs to the airlines in the form of jack up pricing on Jet Aircraft Fuel and how that can only last so long.
The coming pull out of many investors and what that means to a market driven by investment.
The final nail of our coffin may end up being the return of “common sense economics” by the average American.

Today we are going to go over how to find, hire and manage a good financial adviser and make good financial planning part of your survival plan. One of my business mentors told me, “life is like a crap sandwich the more bread you have the less crap you have to eat”, there was wisdom there and I have always remembered it.
Tune in to today’s show to learn
Why the best financial advisers won’t take the average person in fact they can’t
The word you should use over and over when interviewing and talking to advisers
How consumer level financial advisers are actually trained and why you need to know about it
My personal view of what diversification means and how it differs from the buy and hold herd
Why you must treat your adviser like an employee who works for you
How to train your adviser to serve you the way you wish to be served
How to show up to your first meeting with an adviser and “cut out the BS” up front
What your adviser is responsible for and what you need to take responsibility for
Why you may not want to do all of your investing in tax deferred retirement accounts

Note – The date I used in the podcast for “Tax Freedom Day” was April 18th, 2008 the correct date is April 23rd, 2008, that of course just makes it all worse.
Todays podcast was going to be about how to select a good financial adviser that doesn’t just “follow the herd” but some how I ended up on a rant about taxation, the constitution and the heavy hand of government. We also discuss
How McCain supporters are not really happy with their guy
How Obama supporters are in the same boat
The real reason for America’s lead in the world and how we are losing it
The cost today of past racism and slavery from a new angle
How dangerous The Constitution
The Bill of Rights doesn’t give you rights it protects them
The Bill of Rights doesn’t just apply to Americans
It taxation like being sent to a work camp for 5 months a year, would that actually be better
Social security checks that show up but buy nothing
The continued effects of false inflation of the M3 Money Supply
The Government is nothing but a “spoiled brat”
