    The emerging middle class is a billion strong and they are driving the new economy. If new businesses and entrepreneurs wish to stay in the game they will need to embrace the changing business landscape.

    Sculley Speaks


    CW 579 FBF - Monetary Futures & History with Master Economist Martin Armstrong Former Chairman of Princeton Economics International Oct 09, 2015
    Show notes

    If you thought economics was boring, think again. At the heart of wars, land grabs, politics, history, and almost any sort of human interaction lies economics. Remember – economics is about money, and money, depending upon your perspective, either makes the world go ‘round or is the root of all evil.

    Either way, Jason Hartman’s interview of master economist, Martin Armstrong, for episode #382 of The Creating Wealth Show makes for scintillating listening. First, some background.

    Martin Armstrong is the former chairman of Princeton Economics International Ltd. He is best known for his economic predictions based on the Economic Confidence Model, which he developed. In September 1999, Armstrong faced prosecution by the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission for fraud. During the trial, Armstrong was imprisoned for over seven years for civil contempt of court, one of the longest-running cases of civil contempt in American legal history. In August 2006, Armstrong pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit fraud, and began a five-year sentence.

    Armstrong is the developer of the Economic Confidence Model based on business cycles. He is known for claiming to have predicted the crash of 1987 to the very day. Using his theory that boom-bust cycles occur once every 3,141 days (the number pi multiplied by 1000), Armstrong claimed in 1999 to have predicted the Nikkei’s collapse in 1989 and Russia’s financial collapse in 1998.

    During this interview Jason and Martin delve into a number of topics:

    Putin’s PlanArmstrong reminds us that Russian President Putin is a KGB disciple who would love nothing more than to put the Soviet Union back together. Through this prism, it’s not difficult to see the reasons behind his land grab in the Ukraine. He believes that the strength of a nation depends upon how much territory it owns, so look out Poland, etc! It’s also worthwhile to note that the failure of communism in Russia left a void that has been filled by a good, old-fashioned oligarchy.

    Inflation vs. DeflationAs all good economists do, Mr. Armstrong has a strong understanding of, and opinions about, the inflation and deflation in an economy. Of course, Jason loves this topic whenever it arise in conversation. The main point Martin makes is that it is not inflation that destroys an economy, but rather deflation. Listen in as he explains exactly how.

    Other notes of interest from the interview:

    • Why we’re on a 25-year war cycle and 8.6-year business cycle
    • Why the US ended up in the enviable/unenviable status as the Brinks truck to the world
    • Is the American dollar now a de facto international currency?
    • The US will never enter hyperinflation (400% monthly inflation) – our corrupt bankers won’t let it happen
    • It’s almost impossible for Americans to open a bank account or do business overseas – what is Europe afraid of?
    • The next economic implosion will be in pension funds
    • The real reason behind the recent huge influx of foreigners buying real estate investments in the US

    CW 577 - Reducing Consumer Opportunity Under the Guise of Protection with Ken Trepeta Oct 05, 2015
    Show notes

    The mainstream media doesn’t ever mention investment property as an asset class. Are they owned by Wall Street? Small investors must not buy enough ad space. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, in an effort to protect the average person, makes new regulations which actually reduce opportunities for entrepreneurs or any mid-level company without enough money to pay an army of lawyers to sift through the glut of compliance issues. We discuss regulatory changes and the new closing form.

    CW 574 - Daren Blomquist of RealtyTrac Analyzes Geographical Housing Data Sep 29, 2015
    Show notes

    Crunching the numbers sounds easy enough but which numbers do you use? National data doesn’t always reflect individual markets and using geographical data isn’t always a telling sign due to widespread changes in Fannie and Freddie’s level of risk. Jason and Daren take a deep dive into analyzing market data and how tagging markets as linear, cyclical and hybrid allow investors to understand good properties based on cash flow and ROI.

    The Venture Alliance trip to Newport, Rhode Island was a great success. The speakers who are specialists in their fields were truly informative. The very first Venture Alliance member shares his favorite part of the Mastermind, the hot seat.

    CW 573 FBF - Domestic & International Real Estate Investing with Dr. Steve Sjuggerud of Stansberry Research Sep 25, 2015
    Show notes

    Jason Hartman is joined by Dr. Steve Sjuggerrud, editor for Stansberry Research, for a discussion of real estate investing domestic and international, attractive mortgage rates, and government deals that are making real estate a much more attractive investment. Steve talks about what he calls the “Bernanke Asset Bubble,” where the Fed would like to see a booming real estate market and stock market to get the country back on its feet. Jason and Steve also talk about the demographics of the rental market and comparative returns of the rental market and stocks.

    Dr. Steve Sjuggerud is the founder and editor of one of the largest financial newsletters in the world, True Wealth. Since inception in 2001, True Wealth readers have made money every year with safe, contrarian investment ideas. Steve did his PhD dissertation on international currencies, he’s traveled to dozens of countries looking at investment ideas, and he’s run mutual funds, hedge funds, and investment research departments. Steve’s investment philosophy is simple: “You buy something of extraordinary value at a time when nobody else wants it. And you sell it at a time when people are willing to pay any price to get it.” It’s harder than it sounds, but Steve continues to be able to do just that for his readers.
