Jim Puplava’s Big Picture: Tax Hikes + Sequester = Economic Slowdown
Jun 15
In this segment of the Big Picture, Jim discusses a recent San Francisco Federal Reserve Survey that indicates taxes are rising faster than economic growth. His topic, “Tax Hikes + Sequester = Economic Slowdown” discusses results of the survey and that the vast majority (90%) of the current economic slowdown is attributable to increases in taxes, not spending cuts. In his next Big Picture topic, “Different Times Call for Different Strategies”, Jim discusses how Fed policy has turned the market upside-down in recent years, and how “pie chart” strategies will no longer work. Those looking for predictable yield strategies will no longer be able to just plug money into bond funds and forget about them. Jim looks at alternative strategies for these “different times”.

Rick Sharga: We Are Nowhere Near a Real Estate Bubble
Jun 13
Jim is pleased to welcome Rick Sharga, Executive Vice President at Carrington Mortgage Holdings, LLC. Rick is of the country's most frequently-quoted sources on foreclosure, mortgage and real estate trends and has appeared on NBC Nightly News, CNN, CBS, ABC World News, CNBC, FOX and NPR. Rick believes we are close to a peak in the distressed mortgage market, and it should start to get better. He does not see signs of a housing bubble, as lenders are still restrictive, builders are cautious, and new home inventory is at its lowest level in three decades. Rick sees a broad real estate recovery underway, but prices are only back to where they were a decade ago.
