Welcome Back to the Return of Dividend Investing

Jeff also sees the trend in dividend investing continuing and growing.

The Big Issue Not Being Addressed: Unsustainable Health Care Costs

This Financial Sense Newshour program is available only as a premium, paid "FS Insider" release.
Jim is pleased to welcome back former US Senator Alan Simpson. Senator Simpson blasts politicians of all stripes for not addressing the main issue: unsustainable health care costs. He feels the debt ceiling debate will be pure political theater, and the US is not in danger of defaulting on its debt. Despite the coming media and political theatrics, Mr. Simpson believes the issue will pass without a crisis. He advises turning off your television. He also notes the reason that politicians continue to “kick the can down the road” and never seriously confront the serious debt issues, is simply because they don’t want to anger the special interest groups and risk losing their privileged positions at the center of power.

This Financial Sense Newshour program is available only as a premium, paid "FS Insider" release.
Jim is pleased to welcome back John Butler, Chief Investment Officer at Amphora Commodities Alpha Fund in London. John discusses that more countries are moving out of dollars, and eventually the dollar will become less important as a reserve currency. But he cautions there is danger in predicting an eminent dollar collapse, and those who did in 2010 have paid the price. John also notes that because of the special privilege of having the reserve currency, the US will likely win a major currency war. He also discusses why the world’s central banks are buying gold, and why the bond market is not a store of value. It is an inflation wolf in sheep’s clothing.

Simon Mikhailovich: Bonds Are Not A Safe Haven – Today’s Population Hasn’t Experienced a Bond Debacle
Gold Investors Should Ignore Short-Term Volatility

This Financial Sense Newshour program is available only as a premium, paid "FS Insider" release.
Jim welcomes back Simon Mikhailvoich, Co-Founder of Eidesis Capital LLC in New York City. Simon discusses the current debt issues in the US and notes that our deficit spending is being financed by the Federal Reserve printing money, enabling politicians to spend even more money. Simon also looks at the bond market, which he believes many investors perceive as a safe haven. He notes that most of today’s population has never experienced a true bond debacle, such as happened in Greece, and most expect the current situation to continue indefinitely. That is not likely, as interest rates have been falling for 30 years, and are now near historic lows. As to gold, Simon advises investors to ignore the short-term volatility in gold, and focus on the long-term fundamentals.
