The Peter Schiff Show Podcast

Trump's Economy Today President Trump signed into law the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.  The biggest problem that the President will have with these tax cuts is that he now owns the economy.  That is going to be a big problem, because this is now Trump's economy. This is now the Republican economy. It's All Bullish Now, Trump now already owns the stock market, and that has served him well so far this year. But you know what?  The stock market could be getting ready to enter a big bear market. I've never seen so much bullishness, so much unfettered optimism on the market in my life.  Not only on the market, on the economy - it's a no-brainer! Guest after guest on CNBC, "There's no way the market is not going to continue to go up!"  "The only question is, how much higher is it going to go?" One bull after another - nobody is bearish.  The networks are not even willing to allow my point of view to  be expressed on the air, in spite of the fact that I was good for their ratings.  I don't think CNBC wants an investment professional to come on and be bearish. To talk about the problems that underlie the economy, to talk about problems with the stock market, it's all bullish. Trump Will Own the Bear Market, Too This crazy optimism; everything is great, nothing can go wrong, oh yeah?  How about inflation pushes up bond yields.  How about corporations end up having to spend more on debt service payments, some of which is no longer deductible.  How about inflation causing an increase in raw material costs? How about the consumer being so strapped with rising prices, no savings and record debt, that earnings go down?  There are so many things that can go wrong when you have an overpriced stock market where everybody is in, and there is no money on the sidelines. So if we go into a bear market, Trump owns it.              Our Sponsors:* Check out Avocado Green Mattress: https://avocadogreenmattress.com* Check out Boll & Branch: https://boilandbranch.com/SCHIFF* Check out Fast Growing Trees and use my code GOLD for a great deal: https://www.fast-growing-trees.comPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Calling Tax Cuts Reform is Fake News Earlier today the House of Representatives passed the Tax Cut Bill.  Of course, the Media keeps referring to it as "Tax Reform".  That's fake news, for you, calling these tax cuts reform is a perfect example of fake news.  Donald Trump is not going to complain about this fake news.  When the fake news works in his favor, when he prefers the fake news to the real news, he's going to be quiet about it. It's only when he doesn't like the fake news that he calls the media out. Loopholes will Reduce Taxes from 39.6% to 29.6% This has nothing to do with reform.  There are definitely tax cuts in this bill.  In fact, there are substantial tax cuts. The tax cuts are a lot deeper than what people are saying, because the real reduction in the top rate is not from 39.6% to 37%, it's from 39.6% to 29.6%. It's a much bigger reduction because of the ability of so many people who are now paying 39.6% to use the loopholes to reduce their tax to 29.6%.  Now, of course, the top rates are actually higher than that, because no one talks about the 3.8% Medicare and Obamacare taxes that are not repealed. The mandate, the penalty for not buying insurance is repealed, but the taxes to fund Medicare and Obamacare, they're still there.  So the marginal rates are higher than the media is talking about. The reductions, however are actually much bigger for the top end. No One Gets Government Relief Normally, I'm all in favor of lowering the top end. I would just like to do it in a fair and honest way, not through gimmicks and loopholes. But yes, I want to lower the top rate of tax, but I also want to make government smaller.  I want to reduce government spending so we no longer need all that tax revenue. I have said over and over again, that this bill will provide some people with tax relief, but no people with government relief.Our Sponsors:* Check out Avocado Green Mattress: https://avocadogreenmattress.com* Check out Boll & Branch: https://boilandbranch.com/SCHIFF* Check out Fast Growing Trees and use my code GOLD for a great deal: https://www.fast-growing-trees.comPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Everybody Joins the Party All 3 of the major U.S stock indexes closed out the week at new record highs as it became apparent that the new tax cut deal was pretty much done. Marco Rubio, who had been a hold-out, caved and even Corker, the one Republican who was going to vote against the bill becase it was going to increase the deficit, decided to join the party as well.  He's now a yes, so the bill is going to pass. Plan Riddled with Loopholes We didn't get the compromise details until later Friday afternoon so I am recording this podcast Saturday morning.  The new top rate: 37%, bottom rate: 10%.  But of course, that 37% rate is probably not going to be paid by nearly as many people as the government thinks, because this plan is riddled with loopholes.  In fact, I believe, if this plan passes, we will have a tax code that is more game-able where more people are doing more things to rig the system or exploit the loopholes  - not that there's anything wrong with  that - that's every American is going to do. No American is under obligation to pay more taxes than what is owed. And to the extent that you can re-arrange your affairs, such that you pay the lowest possible tax, that's what everybody is going to do. Reduced Deficit Projections is Nonsense And that is why the Republican projections that this is going to add just $1.5 trillion to the deficit over next 10 years are a bunch of nonsense.  I'm sure that it will add more than twice as much over the next 10 years above how much the deficit is going to grow anyway during those 10 years.  Now, the Republicans try to claim that even though on paper this bill will add $1.5 trillion to the deficit, it won't really be that big, because these tax cuts are going to create all this extra economic growth, which will result in additional tax revenue.  So if you factor in that additional revenue, some kind of dynamic scoring, then the impact will not be as large. That is all a bunch of nonsense.        Our Sponsors:* Check out Avocado Green Mattress: https://avocadogreenmattress.com* Check out Boll & Branch: https://boilandbranch.com/SCHIFF* Check out Fast Growing Trees and use my code GOLD for a great deal: https://www.fast-growing-trees.comPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Expected Rate Hike Today the Federal Reserve did exactly what everybody expected them to do, they once again raised interest rates by just one quarter of one percent.  This is the third rate hike of the year; this is the fourth rate hike since Donald Trump was elected President and the fifth time the Fed has raised rates since the 2008 financial crisis. The Fed raised rates only once from Obama's election to Trump's election eight years later. Extraordinary Amount of Excess Stimulus We now are at 1.25% on the low end to 1.5%. So if you take the midpoint there, 1.35%; we're barely above 1%.  Despite five rate hikes over the course of more than 2 years.  Remember the first rate hike was in December 2015, so it has been exactly two years. It has taken the Federal Reserve two years to move the rate from zero to 1.35%. This is an extraordinary amount of excess stimulus.  To say that the Fed has been successful in normalizing rates is complete nonsense.  Two years ago, when the Fed raised rates for the first time, nobody in the mainstream believed that two years later, we would still be this low. FOMC Press Conference The most interesting part of the Fed's announcement is always the press conference that follows. The most interesting thing about is, whenever Yellen was asked about inflation; whenever she opined about inflation and what the Fed's concerns might be, the only concern that she ever expresses is that inflation may stay too low.  In fact, that's the only question she gets about inflation.  Nobody asks her, "What if inflation is higher than you think?"  It's always, "What if it doesn't get to 2%?" Even though, of course it's already well above 2%, but everybody wants to pretend it's not, the questions are;"What if it takes longer to get to 2%?  Are you concerned it might not get to 2%> What Happens if Interest Rates go Too High? And the answers are, "Well, we think it will get back there, but yes, we recognize it's a risk that maybe it won't."  It never dawns on anybody to actually consider the real risk.  The real risk is not that inflation stays below 2% (that's the ideal situation for the Fed).  The real risk for the Fed is that inflation goes to 3% or 4%, but that possibility isn't even discussed.  I know why, because they can't deal with that.  I wish somebody would ask Yellen, "What is your plan, if inflation surprises you by spiking up? what if it jumps up to 3 or 4%?" What is she going to say?  We're going to slam on the brakes?  We're going to jack interest rates way up? What's going to happen to the stock market? What's going to happen to the bond market?  What's going to happen to the economy? Does Elevated Asset Prices Concern the Fed? In fact Steve Liesman asked her a question about the stock market; about how the stock market is going up every day and he asked her: "Are you worried about this?  Does these elevated asset prices concern the Fed?" She told him, no, the Fed's not worried at all.  Not only do we not see any flashing red lights, we don't even see any flashing orange lights.  There's nothing to worry about.  She specifically said that, this is very different than it was last time. Yellen: Nothing to Worry About the Debt Yellen said that last time when we had an elevated stock market or real estate market, it was because we had too much credit, we had too much debt, but that we don't have that today. Is she kidding me? We actually have more debt! This is a bigger bubble that has been fueled by even more cheep money.  The Fed is force-feeding cheap money into the economy; interest rates now are 1.3%; we've been going on a borrowing binge - corporations are levered up, they've been buying back stock, consumer debt is at all time high, auto debt, student debt, government debt is exploding, the national debt is twice as big as it was when we had the 2008 financial crisis, and Yellen is saying that there is nothing to worry...Our Sponsors:* Check out Avocado Green Mattress: https://avocadogreenmattress.com* Check out Boll & Branch: https://boilandbranch.com/SCHIFF* Check out Fast Growing Trees and use my code GOLD for a great deal: https://www.fast-growing-trees.comPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Bitcoin Week I'm going to devote today's podcast to bitcoin; I might as well just talk about bitcoin because that's all anybody else is talking about.  On CNBC that's pretty much all they are talking about; they said it is "BitCoin Week".  It sure sounds like it.  I think they should just rename the network: Crypto News BitCoin Network.  I would be a good guest on that network because I know either side. Swallowing Hype Hook, Line and Sinker But just like in the dot com bubble in the 1990's and the housing bubble in 2007, they are swallowing the hype hook line and sinker. they drank all the Kool Aid. When they look back at those manias, they like to laugh, but they did not laugh at them back then - not at all. The only people they laughed at were people like David Tice, he would come on and they would laugh at him just like they laughed at me when I talked about the bubble leading up to the Financial Crisis. Nobody at CNBC had any idea that there was a dot com bubble.  All they did was laugh at people who pointed it out. Even Less Legitimacy Same thing is going on now, although they do refer to the bubble.  But to me, this bubble is the most irrational of any of the bubbles I've seen.  I there is a less legitimate case for BitCoin than any of the dot com stocks that went to zero, or buying sub-prime mortgages. Total Market Cap: $460,355,182,968 But let me talk a little bit about the whole origin of this thing, in case you don't know. When Bitcoin first came about, it was the only crypto currency out there. Now there are over 1300 crypto currencies.  The market cap is over $450 trillion.  Bitcoin is trading today at over 17,000. That's a new record high on bitstamp.net.  That did not take out the $19,000 record set on coinbase.com last week.  We're up about 15-20% today. Futures trading debuted on Sunday night and Saturday, in advance of that, we had a pretty decent sell-off.  Bitcoin sold off to about $13,000 and then it skyrocketed, it turned around on Sunday night and continued going up on Monday. Speculative Asset But in the beginning, the whole idea behind Bitcoin was that it was going to be money - a digital currency whose advantage was that it could be used anywhere in the world, anonymously, inexpensively and quickly.  I loved that aspect of Bitcoin. But what I did not like is that it had no backing. It has no real value, so it never could actually be money.  Now, as the value has skyrocketed, it is impractical to actually spend, and people are using it as a "store of value".  But it has no intrinsic value.  It is just a speculative asset.Our Sponsors:* Check out Avocado Green Mattress: https://avocadogreenmattress.com* Check out Boll & Branch: https://boilandbranch.com/SCHIFF* Check out Fast Growing Trees and use my code GOLD for a great deal: https://www.fast-growing-trees.comPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

A Nonfarm Payroll Beat Today the labor department released the November jobs report -  Nonfarm Payroll -  of course Wall Street always highly anticipates this number; all the politicians, Donald Trump was ready to tweet as soon as the data was released.  The expectation was for 190,000 jobs and we beat, with 228,000 jobs. An Even Bigger Hoax The unemployment rate held steady at 4.1%, which prompted President Trump to tweet, "The unemployment rate remains at a 17-year low of 4.1%. Now remember, when Trump is running for office he called 5% unemployment "The biggest hoax in American history", claiming that the rate was really 30, 40, 50%.  Well if 5% was the biggest hoax in American history, what's 4.1?%? It's an even bigger hoax. Disappointing Numbers So THIS is the biggest hoax in American history, except that the difference is now Trump is the purveyor of that hoax.  He is no longer calling it out, he is now participating in the same hoax that he criticized in order to get elected.  The numbers that missed were the average hourly earnings, which, again, everybody keeps talking about how earnings are going to go up; they were looking for a .3% increase in average hourly earnings following flat earnings the previous month.  Not only did they not get .3%, they got +.2%, but they revised last month's 0% to -.1%. So really, very disappointing numbers on the wages. Labor Force Participation Labor Force Participation rate held steady at 62.7%; that's near the lowest it has been in this cycle.  And again, if you look at where the jobs were, we did manage to create 31,000 manufacturing jobs.  We have had a boost in manufacturing jobs, despite the fact that we are not seeing it in the trade balance, because we have the worst trade deficit in five years, so I don't really know what everybody's manufacturing, if we're not exporting it, or if it is not reducing our imports.    Our Sponsors:* Check out Avocado Green Mattress: https://avocadogreenmattress.com* Check out Boll & Branch: https://boilandbranch.com/SCHIFF* Check out Fast Growing Trees and use my code GOLD for a great deal: https://www.fast-growing-trees.comPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Trade Deficit Moving Higher as Economy Slows Down Yesterday we got the release of the October monthly Trade Deficit and we got a trade deficit of $48.7 billion dollars.  That was a little bit North of the $47.4 billion expected in the consensus forecast.  In fact, the prior month, which was $43.5 billion was revised upwards to $44.9 billion. The larger number did cause the Atlanta Fed to shave down its estimates for Q4 GDP from 3.5% to 3.2%; my guess is that they will be revising it lower.  Most of the numbers I have been seeing show the economy slowing down, at least measured by the GDP. Candidate Trump Promised Lower Trade Deficit While Calling Stock Market "A Bubble" What's significant about this trade deficit it is the largest trade deficit in 5 years, and it is the biggest trade deficit in the Trump Presidency.  If you remember, candidate Trump made the trade deficit a big part of his campaign. He wanted to lower it.  He said the trade deficit was too big, and the fact that it had been allowed to get so big; all these countries were taking advantage of us; and he was going to fix it! He was going to "Make America Great Again" in part, by getting rid of these trade deficits. So we were going to start operating at a profit again.  He's not talking about trade deficits anymore.  Does he want to accept responsibility for the increasing trade deficit, just as he claims credit for the rising stock market? Trump Now Takes Credit for the Stock Market but not the Trade Deficit When Trump was a candidate, he never promised, "Vote for me and I'll make the stock market go up!".  He said the stock market was a bubble. Part of the problem was that the stock market was the only thing going up. The economy was actually getting worse, despite the fact that we had a stock market bubble.  So a higher stock market was not part of his stump speech, yet that's all he talks about now is how high the stock market is. Trade Deficit is Not Shrinking What was part of his stump speech was shrinking the trade deficit.  Well the trade deficit is not shrinking.  It's growing! In fact, I believe that the trade deficit is going to end up hitting an all-time record high during the Trump Presidency.  So that will be a complete failure. He campaigned on a lower deficit and we're going to get a much bigger deficit. Dollar Down And of course, the trade deficit is growing even as the dollar is down.  The dollar has fallen by about 8 or 9% this year.  Now, most economists tell you that if the dollar goes down, that will be good for trade, right?  It will be good for our exports, we will import less - none of that happened.  What actually happens when the dollar goes down, it simply makes our imports more expensive. So our trade deficit goes up.  It's not like we can just buy domestically produced goods instead of foreign-produced goods because we don't produce the goods.  We have to import them and we just have to pay more to do it, and the trade deficit goes higher. Bush All Over Again And since I believe the dollar is headed a lot lower during the Trump Presidency, the trade deficit is headed a lot higher. That's exactly what happened under Bush.  The dollar hit an all-time record low under George W. Bush, and the trade deficit hit an all-time record high. And since I think the dollar is going to take out the lows it established under Bush, the trade deficit is going to take out the highs.    Our Sponsors:* Check out Avocado Green Mattress: https://avocadogreenmattress.com* Check out Boll & Branch: https://boilandbranch.com/SCHIFF* Check out Fast Growing Trees and use my code GOLD for a great deal: https://www.fast-growing-trees.comPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Market Rallies on News of Passing Tax Cuts Act Late Friday night, or I guess early Saturday morning, the Senate passed its version of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.  Last week the market, as it became more apparent that the Senate was in fact going to pass the bill, the market was rallying, and continued to rally and, in fact rallied again today.  This was the first chance the market had to react to the Senate actually passing their version of the bill. DJIA Up, NASDAQ Down At one point today: the DJIA was at 24,534, that's the new record high.  It had surrendered most, if not all the gains by the close.  The Dow closed up only about 58 points - still, a new record close at 24,290.  The NASDAQ, on the other hand was down as the correction, and maybe the beginning of a bear market (we don''t know yet).  The correction in the technology sector continues. The NASDAQ was down 72 points today.  Although, even when the Dow was up 250 points earlier this morning, the NASDAQ was still down about 50 points.  So the tech stocks are weak. The S&P ended up negative on the day, although it hit a record high intra-day. Who Benefits? Part of the justification for the markets rallying is the tax cuts. If corporate taxes are going down, then your after tax earnings are going up, and since stocks' value is in theory a function of their after tax earnings, if your after tax earnings goes up, then all else being equal the stock is going to be more valuable. But clearly taxes that are not earning money will not benefit from lower taxes. Republicans Abandon Any Pretense of Smaller Government I wanted to get into an analysis of the Senate version of these tax cuts. There was one Republican senator who voted the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, of course all the Democrats voted against it, but Senator Bob Corker, who voted against it on the principle of   adding to the debt.  There were some interesting rumors floating around last week that in order to get Corker to vote yes, they considered adding an automatic trigger (implementation  seemed crazy to me, and that's why they did not do it) that if the tax cuts did not pay for themselves or the deficit got bigger, an automatic tax increase would be implemented.  What disturbed me the most about this, is:  Why would there be automatic tax increases, why not automatic spending cuts? Why not say that if the tax cuts don't pay for themselves, we'll cut spending in order to pay for the tax cuts?  If this doesn't tell you that the Republican party has completely abandoned any pretense of wanting smaller government, I don't know what does.          Our Sponsors:* Check out Avocado Green Mattress: https://avocadogreenmattress.com* Check out Boll & Branch: https://boilandbranch.com/SCHIFF* Check out Fast Growing Trees and use my code GOLD for a great deal: https://www.fast-growing-trees.comPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Buy the Rumor Sell the Fact One of the things that could de-rail Wall Street enthusiasm is if Republicans are not able to deliver on the promised tax cuts.  Of course, even if they are able to deliver, it will be a, "buy the rumor, sell the fact".  Especially since the fact is not going to deliver the promises of the rumor, which is more economic growth. These tax cuts are not going to grow the economy because they do not shrink the size of government. When the Fed Loses Control of the Bond Market Government continues to grow, despite the tax cuts, meaning that government will have to find an alternative source of revenue, and that alternative source will be deficit spending and money printing, which will be negative for the economy. Ultimately,  it will also be negative for the markets - maybe not in the short run, because money printing has not proven to be a negative for the markets thus far; it will only be a negative when it backfires and the Federal Reserve loses control of the bond market and when it can no longer pretend that inflation does not exist. No Slam Dunk When you look at the prospects for the tax cuts, I think the Senate is going to vote on Thursday, whether or not to pass its version, of course, if it doesn't make it through the senate, then it's done. Even if it makes it through the Senate, it needs to go through a reconciliation process so that the differences between the Senate and the House versions can be ironed out.  Then they have to hope to get everybody to vote for the reconciled version, which is no slam dunk. Apparently, there are about 6 senators who are not fully on board with these tax cuts, who have expressed some reservations.  So they have to get most of those 6, otherwise it is not going to work. Individual Tax Cuts Expire in 2025 One of the more interesting discussions has to do with the fact that in the Senate's version, the individual tax cuts, most of them, anyway, expire in the year 2025.  So that's not even a full 10 years from now. Why is that?  Why are they making the individual tax cuts expire?  What is even worse politically, is that corporate tax cuts are theoretically permanent, or at least they do not come with an expiration date.  This is making for bad public relations on all the talk shows: "It's permanent for the rich corporations, but it's only temporary for individuals.  It shows that by 2025, a lot of individuals who are getting tax cuts, will actually end up paying higher taxes. Juggling Deficits Now the way the Republicans are responding to this criticism just shows you how disingenuous this whole process is. The reason the Senate has to make the individual tax cuts temporary is so that the bill does not increase the deficit by more than $1.4 trillion over these 10 years, so to do that, they had to make the individual tax cuts expire, during these 10 years. During the entire 10 year window the deficit would go up by less than it needs to in order to be able to be approved according to the voting process. The Whole Thing is a Farce But at the same time, the senators are saying, "Don't worry about the fact that these tax cuts are temporary because no future Congress is going to allow them to expire.  In other words, they are admitting that the whole thing is a sham, because they are using the expiration period to make the impact on the deficit smaller. But they are saying "Oh, it's really not going to make the deficit smaller because we're not going to allow the tax cuts to expire the way we've written it into the  bill.  In order to be able to pass it, we are going to cancel it, which means the whole thing is a farce.  It means the Senate's version of the bill adds much more to the deficit than what the Senators are claiming in order to get the thing passed. Government on a Credit Card I've made this point before: No tax cuts are permanent.

Fed Fears Inflation Is Not High Enough Fed statements drove the markets today; particularly the foreign exchange markets and the precious metals markets. First we got a quote from Janet Yellen early this morning in which she was talking about inflation. Her concern is that inflation isn't high enough.  Here's and exact quote from Janet Yellen: “It can be quite dangerous to allow inflation to drift down and not to achieve over time a central bank’s inflation target,” Dangerous? Dangerous to whom? She also says that one reason it is dangerous is because inflation expectations are likely to drift down, too.  So she's not only worried that inflation isn't high enough, but she is worried that people won't be worried about inflation.  Why is low inflation dangerous? What's so Bad About Low Inflation? First of all, it's not even negative. She's not saying we are going to have deflation, which I don't think is bad anyway.  She is just saying it is dangerous if we don't have enough inflation, meaning that if we have 2-2.5% inflation, we're out of the danger zone, but if we have 1.5% inflation, we're in this danger zone? What is so dangerous about prices not going up? This is all a bunch of nonsense that the media just accepts. Now, I'll tell you why it is dangerous and for whom it is dangerous: The reason the Fed wants high inflation is so the next time they cut interest rates, they can create a negative rate.  They know that the bubble is so big that just low interest rates are not going to do anything.  This addict is so hyped up on this "sauce" that we have to get rates negative. Low interest rates are not enough.  They've got to be negative. Major Ramifications for the Reserve Currency So the Fed has got to be able to get the Fed Funds Rate below the inflation rate, and they need it to be way below, because, let's say inflation is only 1% and they go to zero interest rates, well they have -1%!  That's not enough!  They might think we need -3% or -4%.  Well, if zero is the lower bound, and you want rates to be -3% then you need to have inflation at 3% in order to get a negative 3% yield. Unless you want to go from the absurd to the ridiculous, and actually take rates negative, which would have major ramifications for the reserve currency, I think the Fed is still reluctant to try that, but if they have to, they'll certainly give it a shot.  They'll use that as the Hail Mary, but they'd rather keep that one in their back pocket.  So they need room to be able to get interest rates to zero but have a high enough negative rate to try to provide the stimulus that they think helps the economy. Collateral Damage in the Fed's Manipulation and Experimentation But it doesn't help the economy.  This is all their nonsense but they are willing to sacrifice American families.  They are just casualties of war, collateral damage in the Fed's manipulation and experimentation.  They are saying that we need to have higher inflation so that we can fight the next recession.  Well, the next recession is going to be a lot worse, if in addition to unemployment, people are dealing with a rising cost of living.  But as far as the Fed is concerned, that's OK, because the only way we can stimulate the economy is to make sure we sedate it by causing the cost of living in the U.S. to go up and the standard of living to go down. Concerns About a Potential Buildup of Financial Imbalances The other danger of inflation not being high enough is probably the stock market.  Interestingly enough, later on in the day,  the FOMC minutes were released, and in addition to expressing their concern about low inflation, they are also worried about the stock market.  It's about time, but listen to this, I am reading a quote from the minutes: "In light of elevated asset valuations and low financial market volatility, several participants expressed concerns about a...Our Sponsors:* Check out Avocado Green Mattress: https://avocadogreenmattress.com* Check out Boll & Branch: https://boilandbranch.com/SCHIFF* Check out Fast Growing Trees and use my code GOLD for a great deal: https://www.fast-growing-trees.comPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
