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

Richard Maybury and Daniel McAdams return. Thanks to America’s flawed foreign policy, Russia has gained and the U.S. has lost influence in the oil-rich Middle East. Meantime, the U.S. is entering the South China Sea to constrain China, Russia’s closest ally. Under their leadership, the BRICS are seeking to overthrow the U.S. dollar as the world’s reserve currency and to deter the U.S. military from threatening their sovereignty. With the U.S. dollar backed by petroleum, and the U.S. losing its power in major oil producing regions of the world, what might that mean for the dollar’s purchasing power and for the price of gold? Insights into these topics will be sought from two geopolitical experts, Daniel McAdams and Richard Maybury. With gold seeming to be in a bottoming process, gold mining companies are starting to look very attractive again. Your host will pass along some market insights on gold shares and on the markets in general from Michael Oliver.

Daniel McAdams

Daniel McAdams is Executive Director of the Ron Paul Institute for Peace and Prosperity. He served as foreign affairs advisor to US Congressman Ron Paul (R-Texas) from 2001 until Dr. Paul’s retirement at the end of 2012. In the 1990s he worked as a journalist based in Budapest, Hungary, including as editorial page editor of the Budapest Sun. He also served as special rapporteur for the British Helsinki Human Rights Group while based in Europe, monitoring human rights and elections on the ground in various contentious states, including Albania during the 1996-1998 civil unrest, Montenegro, Georgia, Armenia, Belarus, Croatia, and Slovakia. He was a Phillips Foundation Journalism Fellow (1998-2000) and an American Swiss Foundation “Young Leader” (2006). He holds a BA in English from the University of California at Berkeley and completed coursework for a Master’s in international relations.

Richard J. Maybury

Richard J. Maybury is the publisher of U.S. & World Early Warning Report for Investors. He has written several entry-level, common sense books on United States economics, law, and history. His writing style is mostly in an epistolary form, usually as an uncle writing to his nephew, answering questions. Maybury had taught economics in high school. Failing to find a book with a clear explanation of economics, he wrote one himself. Some of his books include Uncle Eric Talks About Personal, Career & Financial Security—a book that is basically the foundation for his other books about the model perspective; Higher Law, Whatever Happened to Penny Candy?—a book that explains the history of the United States economic model and how it was based on free-market Austrian economics; and Whatever Happened to Justice?—about his naturalist philosophical viewpoints regarding the foundations of America’s legal system, British Common Law, the law of the Franks, and early Christian Ireland.

Mr. Taylor is editor of J Taylor’s Gold & Technology Stocks newsletter (click here to learn more) and host for the popular radio show, Turning Hard Times into Good Times on the Voice America network. His interest in the role gold has played in U.S. monetary history led him to research gold and into analyzing and investing in junior gold shares. In 1981 he began publishing North American Gold Mining Stocks, which preceded his current newsletter. His continuing interest in gold mining prompted him to study geology at Hunter College in New York City, supplementing his MBA in Finance & Investments from Baruch College, NYC. Throughout his career Mr. Taylor worked as a commercial, then as an investment banker. Most recently, he worked in the mining and metals group of ING Barings in New York.

In 1997 he resigned from ING Barings to devote himself full time to researching mining & technology stocks, writing his newsletter and assisting companies in raising venture capital. Along with the publishing of his newsletter he currently also hosts the web-based radio show “Turning Hard Times Into Good Times.”
