Ian Gordon
Nations and their economies run through 50 to 70 year credit expansion/contraction cycles known as a Kondratieff wave. Special guest Ian Gordon, Chairman of Long Wave Group and economic historian tells Jay Taylor why the U.S. and the global economy has entered into a credit contraction that will be as bad or worse than the deflationary depression of the 1930s. Ian will explain why polices geared to stimulating the economy will not only fail but will plunge us even deeper into a price collapsing depression. Ian will explain why he is betting on deflation, not inflation and why, in this environment, gold mining will be a portfolio savior as it was during the Great Depression when the Dow to gold ratio approached 1:1. Ian tells why he believes the Dow to gold ratio may well fall to an even more remarkable 0.25:1.0 in this depression and why gold stocks will make their owners truly wealthy. Ian may also name a few of his favorite gold mining stocks. www.longwavegroup.com View Guest page

Peter Grandich
With no formal education or training, Peter Grandich entered Wall Street in the mid-1980s and within three years was appointed Vice President of Investment Strategy for a leading New York Stock Exchange member firm. Now an internationally-acclaimed financial expert, Grandich has made a 25-plus-year career out of his knack for uncannily-accurate market predictions. Labeled the “Wall Street Whiz Kid” by Good Morning America, Grandich gained national notoriety by being among the very few who not only forecasted the 1987 stock market crash just weeks before it happened, but on the very next day he predicted that within two years the market would reach a new all-time high – which it did. Proving his 1987 forecast was no fluke, Mr. Grandich said in January 2000 that the year would go down as the year the great mega bull market of the 80s and 90s came to an end. Again, he was right on target. Peter also practices the golden rule, which sadly is all too rare on Wall St. View Guest page

The End of Money as We Know It and the Future of Civilization
May 22, 2012
Hosted by Jay Taylor
[Download MP3s: Hour 1:The End of Money as We Know It and the Future of Civilization Hour 2:The End of Money as We Know It and the Future of Civilization] [itunes] [Bookmark Episode]
Thomas H. Greco, Jr. joins us for the first time to talk about "The End of Money and the future of Civilization." Money has become nothing more than an information system. And there are emerging mechanisms for managing exchange information outside of the conventional banking system and without the use of political monies. With emerging technologies, Greco sees the potential for a shift from elite rule based on “command and control” hierarchies and military force to a more inclusive, participatory, just, harmonious, and sustainable order. What is necessary for this transformation will be a fundamental change in the way we mediate the exchange of goods and services. What role if any will gold play if Greco’s vision is to become a reality? From future theory to the immediate practical, Brian Kirwin of American Bonanza and Michel F. Bouchard of Clifton Star will talk about their respective gold mining projects.

Jay Taylor
Jay Taylor has been able to more than triple his newsletter’s model portfolio from 2000 to the present even as the S&P 500 was in the process of losing 50% of its value!
The insights provided to Jay came from a history professor in 1967 who advised Jay that when countries go off a gold or silver standard, hard economic times are sure to follow because nations become lazy. They think they no longer need to work hard and save to build a better future. Economic disaster is sure to follow.
Jay watched his professor’s prophetic words came true when in 1971, President Nixon completely detached the dollar from gold. Not surprising to Jay, the price of gold skyrocketed in the late 1970s as inflation wiped out vast amounts of wealth from average Americans as the dollar became worth less. To protect his own wealth Jay began to invest in gold and gold mining shares and in 1981 he began sharing his success and insights in his newsletter. In 1981 Jay began writing a subscription newsletter that has earned his subscribers countless thousands of dollars over the years.
Jay’s insights regarding the real cause of our problems has enabled him to identify highly successful investment strategies. By diagnosing America’s economic problems successfully, Jay has put together a hypothetical model portfolio that has nearly doubled while the S&YP 500 has lost half is value.
