This video is a fascinating update to the field trip I took back in December to see the world’s largest crystalline gold nugget. Mining analyst Jeff Clark and had I traveled to Ironstone Vineyards in Murphys California to see the Crown Jewel, a remarkable 640 troy ounce crystalline gold nugget, which at the time, we were informed was the largest in existence in the world. But soon after the video of our road trip aired, I received an email from a private collector informing me that he owns a crystalline pure gold nugget that is 45% larger. It’s on display at the Perot Museum of Nature and Science in Dallas, Texas, and he invited me to come see it with him whenever I was next in town.

Geopolitical risk has been relatively subdued as an investment theme over the past decade. But it’s now moving quickly to the forefront, as today’s headlines about Ukraine, Russia and NATO make clear. There’s another, much more quiet and poorly understood threat that I want to bring to your attention today. It was raised by macro analyst Luke Gromen at last month’s Wealthion conference, where he explained that China is exploiting the US dollar system to lock up a growing number of key global resources. In Gromen’s words “China is conducting an LBO of the world using the Eurodollar system, backstopped by the Federal Reserve and protected by the US military” They have basically hacked the game America forced everyone to play, and have bent the rules to their interest. As Luke says, Nobody’s a bigger fan of the US dollar system than China, except for a few politicians and CEOs getting rich of the current scheme.

Spiking energy prices in oil, natural gas and other key fuels are the direct result from bone-headed policies. Doomberg returns to remind us that "energy is life", and when you mess with energy, you mess with all of the systems we depend on. He also explains what's wrong with the popular ESG movement -- notably, that we have over-focused on the "E" to the sacrifice of the "G".

Systemic pressures are building everywhere. Inflation, slowing economic growth, prolonged supply chain outages, falling consumer confidence, the trucker blockade in Canada, Kazakhstan as an energy flashpoint, tensions in the Ukraine. These are all interconnected signals that the status quo is failing. To learn why, listen to this important interview with Doomberg, one of the most important new voices in finance today.

Inflation is now raging, largely due to the record $trillions of new money the Federal Reserve has issued in monetary stimulus while keeping interest rates at historic lows. As central banks around the world conduct the greatest monetary experiment in human history in real-time around us, it's important to keep the Bullwhip Effect in mind. The mathematical odds that the world's many central planners, with their manifold partners in distributing fiat liquidity, are going to have the finesse to successfully steer their ships to safety through the shoals of inflation and deflation that threaten on either side, are very low. And that's before taking into account the unintended consequences of their more extreme measures. Bottom line: If another liquidity crisis hits (which many of the experts I interview every week on this program worry is a real possibility in the future), the one thing we can count on is that the response from our leaders will be ill-fitting to the situation.

Volatility continues to reign in the markets. After one of the worst January's on record, stocks have started rallying sharply -- but only after a period of intense chop that bruised and confused bulls and bears alike. Where is all this headed? Will markets shrug off the growing litany of macro concerns and power higher? Or will 2022 be the year the asset bubble bursts for good? Today's expert, Felix Zulauf, owner and President of Zulauf Consulting, manages billions in assets, so he doesn't have the luxury of an opinion without conviction. He has a strong picture of where we are in the current market cycle and is allocating capital accordingly. Felix predicts markets will correct by 20% or so over the coming months as the Federal Reserve embarks on hiking interest rates. But he then expects the Fed to reverse its stance and adopt more dovish policies by summer, which will resume the bull market in stocks through 2024.
