GET YOUR RESILIENCE SHIRT! If you want your own RESILIENCE shirt to proudly wear like Chris, go to: https://www.peakprosperity.com/shirts
Wow! We have even more good news to share in today's video. We could get used to this...
First: several quick, cheap tests for covid-19 are rolling out. Finally, we should be able to do widespread testing that's not overly invasive, too expensive, or takes forever to get results.
Second: Ivermectin continues to show statistical effectiveness against covid-19. It may be effective at later stages of infection than HCQ.
Third: the XYZ+ Hypothesis is holding up strong as more data comes in. It really does seem that the world may indeed be past the worst of the deaths from this pandemic.

Good News! Up To 50% Of Us May Be 'Pre-Immune' To Covid-19
GET YOUR RESILIENCE SHIRT! If you want your own RESILIENCE shirt to proudly wear like Chris, go to: https://www.peakprosperity.com/shirts
What's this? Actual good news?!?
A recent study shows that covid-19 may not be as "novel" a virus (i.e., never encountered before) as previously thought. And as a result, 20-50% of the population appears to have a degree of "pre-immunity" to the virus.

Overstimulated! Why A Market Reckoning Is Inevitable (Market Update 8.14.20 w/ Michael Pento)
SCHEDULE YOUR FREE PORTFOLIO REVIEW with John and the New Harbor Financial team here: https://www.greylockpeak.com/
The melt-up discussed last week remains in full force, with the S&P 500 hitting a new intraday all-time high on Wednesday.
Just to make sure we're all clear on this: stocks are back to their highest price BEFORE the coronavirus pandemic exploded. Before Q2 GDP plummeted -33% in the US. Before 50+ million Americans lost their jobs.
Thanks to the $trillions shoved into the system by both central banks and national legislatures since April, "investors" now believe the markets are a 1-way ride to forever-increasing wealth.
The National Association of Active Investment Managers reports that financial advisory firms that manage client capital are more fully-invested in the markets than at any other time in the past several years.
So everyone in "all-in" on the belief that the markets are both fully backstopped and rising higher.
How realistic is this belief?
Michael Pento, this week's Market Update video expert guest, thinks it's willful delusion. History is crystal clear that disconnects like we have today between (over-inflated) asset prices and the underlying (contracting) economic reality always result in crisis -- either a deflationary repricing, or a destruction of the purchasing power of the currency.
Michael shares the 20 financial and economic metrics on the dashboard of indicators he tracks to determine where we are in this story, and which outcome is looking most likely to happen when. This week's interview is worth listening to for that list alone.
Not one to mince words, Pento believes this is most treacherous time ever for investors -- which means those blindly long the current melt-up will get slaughtered if indeed the risks he predicts play out. As always, we recommend working in partnership with an independent financial advisor who appreciates these risks, prioritizes preservation of your investment capital, and can help you chart the turbulent waters ahead when the reckoning arrives.

And if you're one of the many readers brand new to Peak Prosperity over the past few months, we strongly urge you get your financial situation in order in parallel with your ongoing physical coronavirus preparations.
We recommend you do so in partnership with a professional financial advisor who understands the macro risks to the market that we discuss on this website. If you've already got one, great.

Joel Salatin: Better Food = A Better Future
Since covid-19 first emerged, one of our continued recommendations has been to “start a garden”.
The pandemic has exposed the fragility of our food supply chains, as well as the shortcomings of our global and national health authorities. So having more self-sufficiency when it comes to calories, as well as better nutrition to boost your immune system, just make good sense. Hence: start a garden.
In this week’s podcast, we welcome back Joel Salatin. Labeled by The Washington Post as “the most famous farmer in America”, Joel has spent his career advocating for sustainable farming practices and pioneering models that show how food can be grown and raised in ways that are regenerative to our topsoils, more humane to livestock, produce much healthier & tastier food, and contribute profitably to the local economy.
Fresh off huge demand for his farm’s output during the covid lockdown and from releasing two new books, Beyond Labels and Polyface Designs, Joel gives yet another heaping dose of common sense ways we can improve our ecology, economy, food production and wellness — starting with a healthier approach to dealing with the coronavirus.

Do Kids Spread Covid-19?
GET YOUR RESILIENCE SHIRT! If you want your own RESILIENCE shirt to proudly wear like Chris, go to: https://www.peakprosperity.com/shirts
With millions of students poised to return to school, stressed parents are wondering: How worried should I be about my kid catching covid-19 at school?
Well, we're beginning to understand the risks.
First the good news: children under 10 do indeed appear to transmit the virus to others much less often than adults do. Though the transmission rate is not zero.
Now the bad news: kids between 10 and 19 transmit the virus at the same rate as do adults.
So the short answer is: if you send your kids back to a school where they're interacting with others, you should be assume the odds are good they'll get infected at some point.
Prepare your household accordingly. Make sure your kids have masks/sanitizers/etc, are urged to respect social distancing, and boost their immune system with a healthy diet and plenty of sleep. But have a home quarantine plan in place, including distancing your kid from at-risk populations (like elderly grandparents), in case they fall ill.

Melt-Up In...Everything! (Market Update 8.7.20)
SCHEDULE YOUR FREE PORTFOLIO REVIEW with John and the New Harbor Financial team here: https://www.greylockpeak.com/
Well, folks: we're officially in a price melt-up in nearly all asset classes.
Stocks (especially Big Tech), bonds, gold, silver, bitcoin -- all are racing higher. And that's happening on top of an already massive run-up from the March lows.
If you're looking for a fundamentals-based rationale behind the melt-up -- don't. There isn't one. A single glance at the famous Buffet Indicator sitting at near 200% shows that markets are at a record level of over-valuation.
Those cheering this white-hot rally argue that it truly is "different this time" and that the commitment of the world's central banks and national legislatures provide a guarantee that prices will not be allowed to retrace.
This week's Market Update video expert guest strongly disagrees. Doug Noland, 30-year veteran portfolio manager, warns that we are in the end game of the biggest financial asset price bubble in history. And like all others, it will end it tears when it bursts.
Doug is very concerned by the mind-boggling amount of non-productive credit that is building up as a result of the recent $trillions forced into the system by the Federal Reserve and Congress. It's all mal-investment that will eventually will need to be reckoned with -- and Doug sees the day of reckoning arriving very soon.
An experienced scholar of asset bubbles, Doug observes that they often rise higher than we can imagine and then double from there before bursting. He sees the current extreme melt-up as a sign we are entering the end game and urges folks to prepare for it.

Best Ways To Prevent & Treat Covid-19
GET YOUR RESILIENCE SHIRT! If you want your own RESILIENCE shirt to proudly wear like Chris, go to: https://www.peakprosperity.com/shirts
Given all that we know after our months of intensively tracking the coronavirus pandemic, what are the best ways to prevent & treat it?
1) Everyone should invest in boosting the "terrain" of their own body's health. Boost your intake of Vitamins D & C, eat healthy, get plenty of rest, and avoid stress.
2) Everyone should wear a mask, practice social distance, and get tested asap if exposure or illness is suspected. At-risk people deserve extra precautionary protections.
3) If exposed or in initial sickness stages, administer HCQ+ within 2 days or sooner of symptoms onset.
4) If symptoms progress, administer MATH+ cocktail.
5) If symptoms worsen further, deliver advanced therapeutic support, ideally in a hospital setting.

Covid-19 Lockdowns Doing Much More Harm Than Good?
GET YOUR RESILIENCE SHIRT! If you want your own RESILIENCE shirt to proudly wear like Chris, go to: https://www.peakprosperity.com/shirts
Back from a much-deserved vacation, Chris dives into the latest coronavirus data and several insights are becoming clear:
1) Covid-19 is so infectious (R0 of 5+) that it will pretty much make its way through a population regardless of the efforts to avoid it
2) But, it only severely affects a small percentage of those who get it
3) And, more interesting, it's appearing that herd immunity happens quickly, at around 15%
This leads to the conclusion that lockdowns may not be worth it. While they may slow the rate of infection spread somewhat, the economic damage they do can dwarf the benefits of that delay.

Tesla Falters! Will It Take The Stock Market Down With It? (Market Update 7.24.20)
SCHEDULE YOUR FREE PORTFOLIO REVIEW with Mike, John and the New Harbor Financial team here: https://www.greylockpeak.com/
All of a sudden, Tesla (TSLA), the lead stock of the current massive market rally, is faltering -- down nearly $250/share (14.3%) since yesterday's open.
This is important because Tesla embodies the faith, optimism and exuberance that has been required by investors to support stock prices up at their current levels -- which by nearly every conventional measure are now more overvalued than at any prior time in history.
As just one example, the total market cap of US stocks now exceeds US GDP by over 155%, an all-time record.
With the stock down nearly $400/share since the all-time high price of $1,800/share hit last week, there are now many recent TSLA investors sitting on painful losses. Especially those who bought call options, which have been purchased by an insanely large number of novice investors in Tesla of late.
Only one thing ends bull markets, and that's change in sentiment. The sudden painful reversal of a bellwether stock like TSLA, leaving shocked and injured investors in its wake, is exactly the type of trigger that could terminate the mania that's been driving stocks since April.
In this week's Market Update video, we interview Jim Bruce, producer of the excellent documentary film Money For Nothing about the Federal Reserve's role in creating the Great Financial Crisis, and who is now working on a new documentary about Tesla. Given his expertise, few people are better positioned to opine on the market environment we now find ourselves in than Jim.
Whether it's regarding faith in the Fed or faith in story stocks like Tesla, we're at the point where to continue the status quo, everyone must believe the hype. But what if the hype is a false promise?
Well, with Tesla stumbling and threatening to take the markets down with it, we may soon find out.

Covid-19 Is So Hard To Defeat Because It's So Alien To Us
GET YOUR RESILIENCE SHIRT! If you want your own RESILIENCE shirt to proudly wear like Chris, go to: https://www.peakprosperity.com/shirts
Covid-19 is one of the most "alien" viruses our modern health care system has encountered.
Not because it came from extraterrestrials, but because of all of the various different ways it's able to wreak havoc on the human body. It's so novel that we don't have a good natural analog to compare it to.
And it's still confounding us. While it looked as if we had contained it here in the US, it's now surging back so strongly that overwhelmed hospitals are convening "survival panels" to determine who gets treated and who gets sent home to likely die.
We are learning more about it every day, and have a long way to go until we really understand well how it works and how to fight it. So we need to remain vigilant in our efforts to avoid it, or else the resurging death count may go a lot higher:

What's It Like To Have Covid-19? An Infected Doctor Speaks

What's it like to actually have covid-19?
On today's video, Chris interviews Dr. Glenn DeSandre who is still recovering from the virus.
While his case didn't require hospitalization, Dr. DeSandre emphasizes it's something you do not want to get. It's not like the flu or a particularly bad cold -- it's something much worse.
What makes this interview particularly interesting is Chris' ability to really dive into the medical aspects with Dr. DeSandre, who is able to describe his experience more clinically than the average coronavirus sufferer.

How The Wall Street Casino Is Stealing Your Money (Market Update 7.17.20)
SCHEDULE YOUR FREE PORTFOLIO REVIEW with Mike, John and the New Harbor Financial team here: https://www.greylockpeak.com/
Stop me if you've heard this one before.
GDP falls -35%, the worst quarterly drop in the history of the US economy....and the Too Big To Fail banks make record revenues.
Got that? Over 50 million Americans have lost their jobs as a result of the economic carnage inflicted by the covid-19 pandemic. And yet the big banks are not only unscathed, but positively swimming in profits.
We live in a system run by the banks, for the benefit of the banks. We, the public, are simply grist for its mill.
After all the US Federal Reserve, which wields immense global power and influence as the controller of the world's reserve currency, is owned by its private member banks. Should we really be surprised how the banks always seem to come out on top?
And while we frequently criticize Fed policy for enriching Wall Street at the expense of Main Street, the banks are also picking our pockets in other ways that the public is largely blind to.
In today's video, we talk with expert guest Joe Saluzzi of Themis Trading, an expert on high frequency trading (HFT) algorithms. He exposes a whole world of hyperfast technology operating in the markets that most regular investors are completely unaware of and vulnerable to.
Joe's key takeaway is to realize that the markets, and the financial institutions operating them, are casinos. They have engineered the system to slant the odds in their favor. If you invest your hard-earned capital without clearly understanding the risks in play, then you're the sucker at the poker table.
And as we do each week, we ask the lead partners at New Harbor Financial, Peak Prosperity’s endorsed financial advisor, to help folks determine how best to invest given the threats Joe details.
We also take a close look at the market action since last week, which may have reached the zenith of its "blow-off top" on Monday. Big Tech, which has driven the euphoric rally since the March lows, has been struggling all week. Netflix just disappointed substantially last night and if more members of the FAANGs release similarly weak guidance in their upcoming earnings reports, the potential sector breakdown we've been concerned about could suddenly follow. Suffice it to say, we're monitoring the situation closely.

Ever since the outbreak of covid-19 we've wondered why the virus hits some people like a ton of bricks while barely inconveniencing others.
Now we think we have a clue.
New data suggests that the specific types of T-cells you have in your immune system determine how severely your body will react to the coronavirus upon infection.
As this dynamic becomes better understood (lots more research needed!), we'll hopefully start to be able to better identify the folks truly at higher risk and prioritize their protection. And hopefully everyone else can worry a little bit less.

Sick and tired of this pandemic yet? We sure are.
But sadly, covid-19 increasingly looks like it's going to be with us for a LONG time to come.
Globally, cases are mounting fast, with the time it takes to hit the next million infected shorter than ever.
And not only are we learning people can contract the virus a second time, it's looking like a meaningful number of patients can get it even more times than that. And successive infections appear to have symptoms that are every bit as intense as the first.
Even among those who 'recover' -- even those cases that were asymptomatic -- numerous patients display long term organ damage (heart, lungs, kidneys, etc).
Chris walks through the latest findings on each of these worrisome topics, yet also shares the more optimistic data indicating the cheap and widely-available drug Ivermectin makes any important positive difference in reducing the damage covid-19 inflicts.

A Titanic Disaster Ahead? Tech Stocks In Blow-Off Top (Market Update 7.10.20)
SCHEDULE YOUR FREE PORTFOLIO REVIEW with Mike, John and the New Harbor Financial team here: https://www.greylockpeak.com/
At this point, as go the leading Tech stocks, so go the markets.
So much capital has crammed into the tech sector this year that it boggles the mind. Tech stocks now make up 40% of the market cap of the S&P 500.
And despite their huge size, they continue to race higher. Nearly. Every. Single. Day.
Here's a chart of six of the biggest tech companies. Over just the past 7 trading days, they have increased a combined total of half a trillion dollars in market cap. That's $500 billion, folks -- in just a week!
Looking at Amazon's (AMZN) stock price, up nearly 20%(!) since the start of July, we see a trajectory that we're familiar with -- a near-vertical blow-off top.
This is the classic manic ending to an asset price bubble -- as seen when Bitcoin hit 19,000 in late 2017 and when silver hit $49/oz in 2011. For further affirmation, watch the short video chapter from Crash Course on Bubbles.
In a way, this is comforting to see because it gives us confidence this insane, mindless, unjustified market euphoria will end soon. We just need to be prepared for the predictable violent aftermath when it does.
As we do each week, we’ve once again asked the lead partners at New Harbor Financial, Peak Prosperity’s endorsed financial advisor, to share their latest insights on the end of Great Tech Bubble and what comes next.
We spend a fair amount of time in this week's video asking New Harbor for actionable options to protect recent gains from a potential pull-back, as well as how to position for a larger market melt-down if indeed Tech soon reverses and we experience a crash greater in magnitude than what we suffered in February.

We recommend you do so in partnership with a professional financial advisor who understands the macro risks to the market that we discuss on this website. If you've already got one, great.

Yes, You Can Get Covid-19 Twice
GET YOUR RESILIENCE SHIRT! If you want your own RESILIENCE shirt to proudly wear like Chris, go to: https://www.peakprosperity.com/shirts
As we covered in a recent video, herd immunity is getting to look like a more elusive goal than originally hoped.
In fact, we are now seeing convincing evidence of people contracting covid-19 more than once. If indeed the case, that suggests we may never be able to reach herd immunity.
In today's video, Chris talks with the spouse of a patient still recovering from a second case of covid-19. Hearing of this family's harrowing experience with the virus gives a very personal proof that this virus is not "just the flu".
It's time we start emotionally preparing for the potential that we may be living with covid-19...forever.

Covid-19: Vindication! HCQ+ & Ivermectin Work!
GET YOUR RESILIENCE SHIRT! If you want your own RESILIENCE shirt to proudly wear like Chris, go to: https://www.peakprosperity.com/shirts
Wow -- a lot to cover in today's video update.
First: high fives all around for fans of quality science! Our months' long position that hydroxcholorquine+azithromycin+zinc and ivermectinshowed strong promise as cheap, effective treatments vs covid-19 now appears to be proven correct.
Of course, up until this point, the media has parroted "junk science" talking points designed to malign and vilifythese treatment candidates, very likely on behalf of Big Pharma who can't reap $billions off of them. And in the meantime, millions of sick patients worldwide have likely been denied these drugs as a result.
How many people have died/suffered as a result?
Other big developments to note: covid-19 appears to have mutated into a more contagious strain, more evidence is mounting that the virus spreads in an airborne manner, and it seems herd immunity without a vaccine may be harder to achieve than previously anticipated.
All this leads us to maintain our expectation that the world has a long way to go yet before the pandemic is anywhere near "under control".

Peter Sandman: How Your Ability To Process Risk Can Save Your Life
How much do things around you need to change before you start changing your behavior?
Dr. Peter Sandman has made a career out of analyzing people's "adjustment reaction" process. And it turns out, people are wired differently.
Some watch the world intently, looking for early indicators of change and reacting swiftly to them. Others prefer not to get distracted by the "small stuff" and only pay attention once change is forced on them.
Neither approach is inherently right or wrong, but the difference often sets us up for conflict and confrontation when big risks are involved. Those who argue for swift, extreme action are resisted by the side not convinced change is necessary -- as the covid-19 pandemic has clearly revealed. Families have been divided and long-term friendships ended as the "Masks for everyone!" and "It's just the flu, bro!" camps have gone to war.
Dr. Sandman is a top world expert on risk communication. In today's podcast, he explains the fundamentals for mobilizing people when risk is involved and why the US has done such a poor job of it so far with the pandemic.

Gold Hits $1800 -- What's Next? (Market Update 7.3.20)
SCHEDULE YOUR FREE PORTFOLIO REVIEW with Mike, John and the New Harbor Financial team here: https://www.greylockpeak.com/
As we committed to last week, this week's video focuses on the precious metals and the exceptional performance gold is exhibiting right now after many years of disappointing returns.
Year-to-Date, it's hard to find an asset class that has performed better than gold and gold mining stocks:
And the reasons for owning gold just keep getting stronger and stronger. As this week's expert guest Jeff Clark, Senior Precious Metals Analyst at GoldSilver.com enumerates, all of these gold-friendly trends are solidly in play:
1. record money printing by the central banks
2. negative real interest rates
3. record sovereign deficit spending & debt issuance
4. rising geopolitical tensions
5. dangerously overvalued stock and bond markets
6. covid-19 pandemic continuing health & economic impacts
These are big structural problems that don't have easy answers. They are highly unlikely to lessen anytime soon, and most (if not all) are more likely to worsen. This is one of the most gold-positive moments in time Jeff has ever seen and he predicts substantially higher prices ahead over the coming few years.
We get deep into the details in the below video. After watching it, be sure to click on the links to download Jeff's free mining stock guideor to learn more about purchasing and storing bullion via the Hard Assets Alliance:

Covid-19: Is Herd Immunity Possible At This Point?
GET Chris' premium report The 8 Steps For Surviving What's Coming here: peakprosperity.com/8steps
With total covid-19 cases worldwide having punched above 10 million and the US now experiencing 50,000(!) new infections per day, the end to the pandemic looks nowhere in sight.
For those hoping a vaccine will ride to our rescue, we're stuck in a cycle of good news/bad news as nearly every promising initial result is soon followed by a list of setbacks. Complicating the matter is that former covid patients appear to be losing their antibodies quickly -- suggesting that lasting immunity may not be a realistic expectation.
Meanwhile, more research data is pointing to the conclusion that the virus did develop, in part, in a lab. With 90% confidence.
Oh boy...

3 Risks Threatening To Crash Stocks (Market Update 6.26.20)
SCHEDULE YOUR FREE PORTFOLIO REVIEW with Mike, John and the New Harbor Financial team here: https://www.greylockpeak.com/
Since the appearance of the bearish island reversal we noted two weeks ago, stocks have struggled and so far failed to regain the highs reached earlier in June.
And another bearish island reversal happened on Tuesday.
The resistance displayed by these reversals and the resulting choppiness of trading are exactly the sort of indicators we would expect to see as harbingers of an approaching downturn in the market.
At a minimum, it certainly appears that the meteoric surge in stock prices since the March bottom ended in early June. Stocks have struggled since and just closed down another 2% today alone.
So with the market suddenly struggling here, what's more likely: a roll-over or a resumption of the rally?
We invited Charles Hugh Smith, proprietor of OfTwoMinds.com as this week's expert guest on the program, and he reveals three key threats to the market that he thinks are dangerously underappreciated at the moment.
One, sentiment remains euphoric, yet covid-19 cases are resurging across the US. The market is currently treating the coronavirus likes it's ancient history. If cases and deaths continue to build momentum from here and force a roll-back of lifted restrictions, stocks will be forced to price in the additional damage to the economy.
Two, the Federal Reserve is coming under increasing public criticism for how its policies and intervention are painfully exacerbating social inequity. The Fed may not be able to continue denying and deflecting, and may re-direct more of its future efforts to Main Street vs Wall Street, removing the key (only?) pillar supporting today's asinine stock prices.
Three, entities like the Fed who make up the Deep State, which has warred with President Trump over the past four years, may have incentive to let the market crash this summer. Trump has very visibly tied his administration's performance to that of the stock market; if the Deep State desires to deny him a second term, this is the most lethal weapon they can fire at him.
