Jeff Deist, Daniel McAdams and Michael Oliver return as guests.

The political landscape has never been less certain. Those who voted for Trump were largely people who believed an uncertain future was better than the status quo that was leading America into a most certain bankruptcy and a lifestyle spiraling inevitably downward for everyone but the top 1%. When Rome was on a similar course its citizens settled for fascism as a trade off for poverty. In selecting Trump has America made a similar pact with the devil?

Have we given up our liberties to ensure we have enough to eat and a roof over our heads? Jeff and Daniel who both served as staff members to Ron Paul opine on the subject as will Anarcho-Capitalist Michael Oliver who, aside from his values of personal liberty, shares his latest technical views on stocks, bonds and precious metals markets.

In 1987 Oliver, along with his futures client accounts (Oliver had trading POA) technically anticipated and captured the Crash. Oliver began to realize that his emergent momentum-structural-based tools should be further developed into a full analytic methodology. In 1992 he was asked by the Financial VP and head of Wachovia Bank’s Trust Department to provide soft dollar research to Wachovia. Within a year Oliver shifted from brokerage to full-time technical research.
