Interesting talk show guest on, right now, on Coast to Coast AM.
May agree with him, may disagree with him, but it is interesting anyway.
Sounds like he is thinking silver will go up.
You can decide.
Is that the show on all hours of the morning?
I miss the days when Art Bell had on Father Malachi Martin.
“I miss the days when Art Bell had on Father Malachi Martin.”
From East of the Rockies?
There’s always someone saying the market will drop. Eventually one will be right. The trick is figuring out when.
Art Bell. Wasn’t he weird?
If you and review 2017 in detail....there’s been a correction already going on since July. I figure that I’ve lost around 7-percent of my portfolio in this period. Course, from mid-November 2016 to July of 2017...I was awful happy with the 25-percent gain that I achieved.
I think most companies are waiting to see what comes out of Trump’s tax talk, and if companies will be given a chance to bring overseas profits back into the US for a lesser tax-rate situation. If this comes to pass...I figure the first half of 2018 will be a pretty healthy period and with big gains. If there is no tax deal and no profit-path invented for overseas accounts....then 2018 will simply be a waiting period and stagnation.
No, from the Kingdom of Nye:
Thanks, good post.
I am concerned with what is happening with China, I am concerned with “American” companies sending so much of what was once our manufacturing might, to China, and I am concerned with North Korea right now.
What we have done by shipping China so much of our industrial base, is we have emboldened China. We have made it stronger, but ignored it seems, what that means. China is not becoming more like America.
China is becoming more independent, and more willing to go head to head, with us.
It is NOT good for America, to be so dependent upon China. It is not good for America, to buy so much from China, but not to insist China also buy from America.
That is VERY irresponsible, and nobody for the last three of four administrations, has been looking out for American production.
Nobody.
Trump was very clear, he wanted to change that. Now we have North Korea nuclear, developing better missile technology by the day, and China is standing behind Korea.
China. The country which makes most of what we buy, in America. A country WE have made quite wealthy.
A country, incidentally, which non-Chinese cannot immigrate to.
This is a big problem, for the future. China does not seem to want to be responsible, and buy American goods. They do not seem to want to allow immigration. They just want to make everything in China, and sell it to us, and to every other country in the entire globe.
America needs to make things. In America.
I think the process of correcting this mess, might get a bit messy.
Might be I am over-reacting.
But I see a huge, amount of potential problems with our global trade situation right now.
Huge.
I’ll make four observations over China:
1. About three years ago, I watched a business interview. American entrepreneur who’d gone to using China for production in his products back around 2000. Around 2013, he found that the groups he’d been using for a decade were now inflating their prices....expecting a higher rate of return...and this terrific profit scheme that he’d developed was now in trouble. He was going move production out of the major urban area of eastern China to some central region. More rural....a chance to stay at the pricing levels he wanted. I got the impression that he had maybe five to eight years before they were going to price him out. This China-on-fire economic system has probably a decade left before people reach a stage that the cheap manufacturing angle wont work.
2. There is a huge amount of income going into China....tons of money. So, hiding money is now a full-time occupation for Chinese business operations. If you glean the papers daily....hundreds of Chinese are quietly walking away from China each month with millions and attempting to resettle elsewhere. I see it in the US...I see it where I live in Germany. A small but growing population of Chinese now reside in Germany. This group fears the government getting into their business, or their newly acquired wealth.
3. Inability to handle the wealth. I sat and observed a story last week on a new subway station that was finished off. Big huge exit point....in the middle of a cow field. Nothing there...not even a paved road. Probably four miles outside of any urbanized area. China news people said it was built because of a long-term requirement written up by one city government, and large funding pot held by a second government organization. The truth is...they didn’t need this built for another decade. Use? Probably every hour....four subway cars will pull in and stop....with no one getting on or off, for at least three or four years. Maybe in a decade, it’ll prove it’s worth.
4. I travel a good bit around Europe, and in the past three years....noted more and more Chinese. On an average day in Heidelberg...around the tourist zone...there’s probably 300 Chinese people arriving by bus. They walk around...seem amazed by the landscape, the structures, the food, and the drink. They leave and return to China with a vision of introducing those things there. As much as people think that China is always going to be China....I would suggest that these travels to places like Europe, the US, and such....are going to waterdown Chinese society and introduce new issues in the decades to come.
I'll take "weird" Art Bell over "ass kisser" Noory any day (or night).
That show is a 3-hour book commercial.
Tommorow night will see guests proclaiming that the market is artificially low and buy gold now.
etc. mostly BS
Hope he’s right. I would welcome another correction to buy more stocks
Say what you want about Bell’s chosen subject matter Bell knows his audience and is a great entertainer.
He was always prepared for the guest and as far as I know always delivered a good show.
I was never a regular listener but my mother was and she was always happy with his show.
Well said! If another global conflict comes about, we are screwed.
Art Bell knew how to interview people. Most of the time Noory sounds like he’s not even listening to his guest.
Dogzebra radio on Tunein plays reruns of the old Art Bell Coast to Coast show if anyone is interested.
Some shows were great, some awful...you just never know...
That's what having so, so much money does - you no longer care about keeping it nice.
I hear the Chinese govt is cracking down on opulent displays, like chauffeurs everywhere. I'll see later in the year when I'm up that way again if it has any impact on the overseas kids...
They have some old Art Bell Midnight in the Desert shows on YouTube as well
