About Jay Taylor

Wow! What a week! We have been waiting for something in the financial markets to break as the Fed continued to raise interest rates. It happened this week with two irresponsible woke banks—SVB Bank in California and Signature Bank in New York—biting the dust. Their failure resulted in a growing […]

Alasdair Macleod and Cherie Leeden are this week’s guests. Rising bond yields are deferring the prospect of a central bank pivot away from fighting inflation to tackling a widely expected recession. Investors wrongly assume that price inflation will fall in a recession, leading to lower interest rates. History tells us […]

This was most certainly a risk off week, with money flowing into U.S. Treasuries and gold and out of risk assets. Most of the damage was done on Friday when there was a major run on SVB Bank, which is a major part of the SVB Financial Group (SIVB). Underlying […]

Jim Rogers, Michael Oliver and Quinton Hennigh return on this week’s show. Behind the wheel of a sunburst-yellow, custom-built Mercedes, Jim and his fiancée, Paige Parker, began their “Millennium Adventure” from Iceland on January 1, 1999. They traveled through 116 countries, including many where most have rarely ventured, such as […]

Alasdair Macleod introduced his February 16 article titled “Gold’s Return to Money,” as follows: According to evidence which is widely ignored in western capital markets, a move by Russia to put a new trade settlement currency and possibly the ruble as well onto a new gold standard is becoming a […]

Robert Moriarty and Dr. Quinton Hennigh return as guests on this week’s program. The BRICS nations, Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa have understood how the United States and its allies have used the dollar and currencies attached to it to threaten their national sovereignty. The weaponization of the […]

John Rubino and Patrick Highsmith of Firefox Gold return as guests on this week’s program. The Swiss National Bank (SNB) loaded up on some of the largest cap stocks in the world like MSFT, GOOG, AMZN, TSLA, XOM and many more in order to weaken the Swiss francs vis-a-vis the […]

The only item in our Key Market Metrics chart that went up greatly this week was Bitcoin. Almost everything was hit hard, including gold and silver, when two non-voting Fed member bank presidents said they favored a 50-basis point rise in the last FOMC meeting, and Peter Boockvar wrote on […]

Michael Oliver and Patrick Highsmith of Timberline Resources return as guests this week. This week’s episode title was taken from a recent short article written by Jesse Felder who writes “The Felder Report, Taking the Financial Road Less Traveled.” Almost five years ago, he wrote a blog post titled, “BANG: […]

This was obviously a “risk-off” week, evidenced by declining stock and bond prices while commodities headed higher as measured by the Rogers Index, largely because of rising energy prices. Crude oil gained 9% during the week, which leads me to the topic of inflation. Based on Chairman Powell’s “disinflation” remarks, […]

Alasdair of Goldmoney and Ewan Downie, the CEO of i-80 Gold, return as this week’s guests. When the U.S. sanctioned Russia and removed them from the international SWIFT trading system, Russia in order to ensure its national survival had to find another way to transact cross border trade. For European […]

For Wall Street and Government, fiat money is a marvelous invention. It allows them to pick the pockets of 330 million Americans with not one in a million Americans understand­ing that fiat money is designed to rob the masses through inflation. The elites who profit from fiat love when stocks […]

Michael Oliver and David Wolfin return as guests on our new Audio/Video format at JayTaylorMedia and the JayTaylorMedia YouTube channel. With a large number of countries led by China, Russia, the BRICS, Saudi Arabia, and a host of other oil producing gulf states, the petrodollar which has long enabled the U.S. to live […]

Paper assets like stocks and bonds and other make-believe wealth assets like Bitcoin provided “good” inflation this past week. That is the kind of inflation that makes the rich get richer so it’s deemed good by the establishment. On the other hand, “bad” inflation like oil, copper and silver were […]

Michael Oliver and Rev. Larry Beane join host Jay Taylor on the last show of Turning Hard Times to Good Times at the Voice America Business Channel. Interviews covering similar themes and guests will be available at JayTaylorMedia.com and at YouTube.com/jaytaylormedia channel every Wednesday at 3:00 PM ET, starting January […]

Stocks and bonds rallied this week on the hope that the decline in the latest year-over-year CPI numbers from 7.1% to 6.5% in December will mark the beginning of a return to a sub 2% CPI and a return to a promiscuous monetary policy that will allow eternal material bliss […]

Kevin Duffy and Patrick Highsmith return as guests. It seems likely that gold and silver miners should have a great year in 2022 given that both metals appear to be in the early days of a new major new bull market as the equity markets continue to descend from extreme […]

The first week of 2023 was a “bad news is good news” from the Wall St. perspective. Evidence of a declining economy should drive stock prices lower, but since markets are so distorted by counterfeit money rather than wages and profits, stocks and bonds can’t wait to cheer until those […]

Alasdair Macleod, Michael Oliver and Chen Lin return. Last week Austrian economist Daniel Lacalle assured listeners that the dollar will remain as the world’s reserve currency for at least the next 5 to 10 years. Alasdair may disagree. In his December 22nd article, he states, “2023 will see the consequences […]
