Show Highlights
Chris Martenson from PeakProsperity.com, author of Prosper! says the global macroeconomic outlook is dire.
Given the downturn in the long-running credit cycle, considerable QE efforts will be required via CB monetary policy to maintain the status quo.
CB, QE operations oftentimes result in unexpected consequences, in particular, runaway inflation, which bodes well for precious metals investors.
Investors must search for "real, tangible wealth," and no asset class better fulfills this characteristic than gold and related shares.
Gold performs best as a hedge against monetary / currency crises and distrust of policymaker decisions.
Despite that fact that silver currently sells for less than the production cost and silver's history as a monetary metal and inelastic supply / demand.
The precious metal remains a leverage play on gold with the benefit of its industrial appeal.
Semiprecious metals are also of interest, including nickel and indium, as tangle assets become rarer and more difficult to mine.
The show wraps with a brief discussion on the benefits of intermittent fasting and hourly exercise breaks.
Intermittent fasting has been statistically proven to boost calorie consumption / metabolic rate by up to 10%-14% without any exercise or medicine required.
The AMA recommends walking briskly every hour for at least 2-3 minutes to reduce the symptoms of pre-diabetes and Type II diabetes, promote healthy cardio function, reduce arterial sclerosis and enhance quality of life.
Global financier, Martin Armstrong ofArmstrong Economics rejoins the show with this latest market commentary.
Despite the coordinated Herculean efforts of global central banks, low rate policies have failed to revive the economic patient.

Guest Bios
Martin Armstrong
The Forecaster
Martin Armstrong was once a US based trillion dollar financial advisor, developed a computer model based on the number pi and other cyclical theories to predict economic turning points with eerie accuracy. In the early 80s he established his financial forecasting and advising company Princeton Economics. His forecasts were in great demand worldwide. As Armstrong's recognition grew, prominent New York bankers invited him to join "the club" to aid them in market manipulation. Martin repeatedly refused. Later that same year (1999) the FBI stormed his offices confiscating his computer model and accusing him of a 3 billion dollar Ponzi scheme. Was it an attempt to silence him and to prevent him from initiating a public discourse on the real Ponzi Scheme of debts that the world has been building up for decades? Armstrong predicts that a sovereign debt crisis will start to unfold on a global level after October 1, 2015 - a major pi turning point that his computer model forecasted many years ago.
Starting at a very young age, Martin Armstrong displayed an entrepreneurial spirit and an analytical ability that were far too complicated for others. As a child he was already collecting coins, and before long he would be trading in gold. As an adult, he started the company Princeton Economics International. Based on a self-designed model, in which the mysterious number Pi plays an intrinsic role, he was able to calculate developments in the world economy. His predictions about stock crises or currency problems were eerily accurate, and he built up a clientele that consisted of powerful players in the global economy.
Chris Martenson, PhD (Duke), MBA (Cornell) is an economic researcher and futurist specializing in energy and resource depletion, and cofounder of PeakProsperity.com (along with Adam Taggart). As one of the early econobloggers who forecasted the housing market collapse and stock market correction years in advance, Chris rose to prominence with the launch of his seminal video seminar: The Crash Course which has also been published in book form (Wiley, March 2011). It's a popular and extremely well-regarded distillation of the interconnected forces in the Economy, Energy and the Environment (the "Three Es" as Chris calls them) that are shaping the future, one that will be defined by increasing challenges to growth as we have known it. In addition to the analysis and commentary he writes for his site PeakProsperity.com, Chris' insights are in high demand by the media as well as academic, civic and private organizations around the world, including institutions such as the UN, the UK House of Commons and US State Legislatures.
