In this Part 2 of our interview with former US Congressman and financier David Stockman, David points out why he sees the Federal Reserve as the headwaters for our current systemic instability.
He then shares his perspective on how individual investors can consider positioning for the painful economic & financial market reckoning he sees coming.
Then the lead partners at Wealthion's endorsed financial advisor, New Harbor Financial, discuss ways to put those ideas into action in one's portfolio.

NEW!! Chris has just issued a new warning of coming global food shortages, caused by the current twin health and economic crises: https://www.peakprosperity.com/the-next-brewing-crisis/
Dear Lord, is this going to be over soon?
So many of us are exhausted by the national lockdown and hoping we can all just get back to "normal" soon. So, will we be able to?
Likely not, says Chris. Which means we need to be planning for the future we're actually entering, not the one we wish we had.
Too many individuals and governments are still making decisions based on false hopes, not actual data. Bad decisions = bad outcomes.
In today's video, Chris gives example after example of people cracking under the strain of covid-19 and making things worse, not better.
We need to be courageous and realistic if we want to get through this trying time intact.
And starting/expanding a garden is a great step in the right direction:

Paul Brodsky does not trust the bond markets. That position may seem strange coming from someone who has spent most of his professional career trading bonds, but it's precisely this insider knowledge that has led him to start directing investors to safer harbors.
In fact, he thinks our credit system is so far out of control that it will cause a massive - and largely unavoidable at this point - devaluation of the US dollar (and most other fiat currencies, as well).

Danielle DiMartino Booth, former analyst at the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas, has just released the book Fed Up: An Insider's Take On Why The Federal Reserve Is Bad For America.
In it, Danielle describes how the Federal Reserve is controlled by 1,000 PhD economists and run by an unelected West Coast radical with no direct business experience. The Fed continues to enable Congress to grow our nation’s ballooning debt and avoid making hard choices, despite the high psychological and monetary costs. And our addiction to the "heroin" of low interest rates is pushing our economy towards yet another collapse.
This reckless monetary policy pursued by the Fed has resulted in the rich elite becoming markedly richer, while savers and retirees are being absolutely gutted. All while risking a coming conflagration in the bond markets that will destroy a painful percentage of the world's financial wealth.

At the recent Casey Research conference in Tucson, AZ, Chris sat down with Casey chief economist Bud Conrad to discuss his concerns about the latest, and potentially most destructive bubble in danger of popping.
At the conference, Bud stepped up to the podium, reached into his pocket, and pulled out a balloon which he proceeded to inflated. As it grew, it become clear the word "BONDS" was written across it. For dramatic effect, Bud continued inflating the balloon until it popped. He then looked at the audience: "I hope I'm making a point".
Like many critically-thinking analysts today, Bud is watching the growing US debt bubble with alarm. And now that the Fed is monetizing and ever-greater percentage of American debt issuance, he sees no way out for our current policies other than stalling for time until the inevitable happens.

We often break the topic of "Resilience" down into 3 categories: financial, physical and emotional. The first two are much more tangible and more frequently and easily discussed. But it's the last that likely matters most.
No matter how large your bank account or how well-stocked your homestead, no one can be completely prepared for every potential eventuality. And nothing ever goes 100% according to plan. In the times when it doesn't, it's our emotional fortitude that determines how well we fare.
As we often observe: it's not the specific insult that determines our fate. It's our reaction to it.
So how does one go about cultivating a higher degree of emotional resilience? To address that important question, Chris welcomes psychologist, mental health specialist and author John Arden to the program, for a neuroscience-heavy exploration of how to do just that.

Jim Rogers is not only one of the most successful investors of our era, he's also an avid scholar of history.
Seeing that the world is buried under an unprecedented mountain of debt that is requiring more and more central planner intervention to keep from imploding on itself, Jim says history is clear on what happens next
A clearing of the debt either via massive default, or destruction of the currency it's denominated in.
He looks into the future and sees a terrible reckoning ahead; one he predicts will be "the worst economic crisis of my lifetime" -- and Jim is 78 years old.
So where should investors look to preserve the purchasing power of their wealth against what's coming?
Jim highly recommends precious metals and other commodities as an important part of the solution. As an overall index, commodities are the cheapest they've ever been vs the general stock market in over half a century.
Like many of the previous guest experts on our program, Jim maintains the near-term environment will be one of the most challenging times to invest in our lives.
Which is why he's emphatic that now, more than ever, is the time to partner with a financial advisor who understands the risks in play, can craft an appropriate portfolio strategy for you given your needs, and apply sound risk management protection where appropriate.
