TND Podcast Spotlight: Jay Taylor’s Turning Hard Times Into Good Times |

On this week’s show, Dan Oliver, Andy Hoffman, Chris Crupi, Daniel McAdams and David Jensen are return guests.

Gibson’s Paradox says that if real interest rates decline, the gold price will rise. But will that happen when the 30-year U.S. Treasury bull market finally ends and rates rise again? Or will we see a replay like that of the 1970s gold bull market when the gold price rose from $100 to $850 even as interest rates rose to double-digit levels? These are some of the topics discussed with Dan Oliver, Andy Hoffman and David Jensen.

Dan Oliver also explains why increasing corporate debt is setting up an already creaky financial system for a traumatic fall that will likely catapult gold to its last and most dramatic leg up in this secular bull market of a lifetime.

Chris Crupi updates us on the multi-million oz. Paramount Gold and Silver and we will looked to Daniel McAdams for insights into America’s perpetual war machine and to David Jensen for an update on the fraudulent paper markets that pretend to trade precious metals.
