Warren Buffett and Elon Musk Agree On Inflation Damage To Economy Mar 16, 2022

Show notes

Elon Musk, founder of Tesla and SpaceX, and Warren Buffett, Chairman of Berkshire Hathaway, have both held the top honor of “World’s Richest Person”. Musk currently retains the title at around $220 billion in net worth. Buffett hasn’t held it since 2008, though he’s still doing OK – he’s current fifth on the list at around $120 billion. These two moguls have extremely different personalities and approaches to building wealth – Buffett the avuncular oracle with a slow and steady hand on the tiller, Musk the brilliant and reckless maverick. Those differences have sometimes spilled into the headlines, with the media eager to sense a feud between these two titans. Famously, Buffett has referred to Bitcoin as “rat poison squared” while Musk has often endorsed it and other cryptocurrencies. But based on recent comments both have made, they both agree on the following: inflation is becoming a real problem. See the YouTube Video for the charts and graphics: https://youtu.be/4QsVEhQENJk

Recession Near As Fed Hikes Rates While Economy Slows | Peter Boockvar Mar 15, 2022

Show notes

As the Russian invasion into Ukraine continues into its 3rd week, despite the world's hopes for resolution uncertainty continues to grow. What will the geopolitical situation look like after a cease-fire is declared? IF one is declared. How badly will the trade disruptions with Russia worsen inflation, given Russia's role as a top exporter for many key commodities? Are we weakening the US dollars' role as the global reserve currency by giving other nations cause to accelerate their efforts to de-dollarize? The cost of capital is increasing as interest rates are on the rise -- right as we anticipate the Federal Reserve to kick off a new era of Quantitative Tightening at its meeting this week. Are a further correction in the markets and possibly a recession now more likely as a result? To help us understand what is likely to emerge from all this swirling uncertainty, we welcome Peter Boockvar, Chief Investment Officer at Bleakley Advisory Group and Editor of The Boock Report.

Rick Rule: Commodities Just Re-Priced In A Way That Will Change Everything Mar 09, 2022

Show notes

Suddenly commodities -- oil, natural gas, wheat, gold, nickel, uranium, you name it -- are at the epicenter of the world's focus. They've now been weaponized in the recent international response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The US and its allies are enforcing embargoes against Russian exports, while Russia simultaneously tells the West it won't sell to them anymore anyways. Given that Russia is a top world supply of many key natural resources, the prices of many commodities are going ballistic. A number of them leaping by over 20-40% over the past week alone. Thank goodness natural resources expert Rick Rule is able to join us today to help us make sense of the frantic action currently playing out before our eyes.

Worst Oil Price Shock Since 1980 -- When Will It End? (If Ever) | Energy Expert Art Berman Mar 08, 2022

Show notes

According to today's guest, energy expert and petroleum geologist Art Berman, the world is now experiencing an oil shock -- the magnitude of which we've rarely seen before. Oil prices had risen tremendously over the past two years off of their 2020, but the recent outbreak of war in Ukraine has propelled them into a higher orbit. The trade embargoes currently under consideration against Russia in response to the invasion sent oil futures briefly up to $139/barrel last night. That's nearly twice the price oil traded at the start of the year, just two months ago. And it's not just oil. The price for natural gas in Europe has increased 5-fold since 2020. How much worse is the situation likely to get? And what economic repercussions will these runaway energy prices cause? See the YouTube Video for the charts and graphics: https://youtu.be/kTEMGCixF5c
