I was very worried about Covid-19 six months ago. Afraid even. Today? Barely worried at all. This video will take you through the science behind that shift in viewpoint. Very strong data from Ivermectin and hydroxycholorquine, combined with the powerful protective effect of having sufficient levels of Vitamin D combine to provide what appears to be a very effective approach for managing Covid-19 the disease. Meanwhile, the US NIH Covid Treatment Panel is woefully behind the times and still recommending Remdesivir over all other possible (and cheaper, more effective) treatments. That's what the science says. Worse, the NIH treatment panel is relying on the very worst studies to support their stance against some treatments and then sifting carefully through objectively poor data to find some minor nuggets to support their preferred (and more expensive) treatments. I literally cannot make any sense of the risk-reward matrix that is in play - it's complete nonsense. Add it all up and it's a bad look. Very much out of integrity for those who would inadvertently or consciously choose a worse treatment, yet are tasked with surfacing and promoting the best, most effective treatments with the best outcomes at the lowest overall costs.

If you care about your health, and the role of science in shaping policy, this video is for you. First, let me re-re-state that I am *not* political. At all. This video is in support of science and is neither in support of or against any politician, bureaucrat, or political party. That said, Anthony Fauci’s recent Senate testimony was a hot mess of anti-scientific statements and (willful? Ignorant?) overlooking of known science. While showing how he was deficient in his statements I present the science that supports views directly opposite to his testimony. Herd immunity is discussed. T-cell cross-reactivity, and how the NIAID/NIH/CDC/FDA are *still* not recommending that everyone take Vitamin D. It’s truly a shameful moment for medicine and science. It’s the triumph of ego, politics and money over compassion and doing the right thing. In this video you will learn that: • Herd immunity seems to have been achieved, mainly in lower economic countries (a.k.a. “third world”) • That t-cell cross-reactivity with the common cold coronaviruses is indeed a very real thing (according to the NIH’s own scientists) • That adequate Vitamin D levels are associated with a halving of the rate of Covid-19 mortality • That Fauci confuses correlation with causation – a big no-no in the world of science. It really shouldn’t be this confused at this point. But it is, and not because the science is muddled.

That year is such a noticeable inflection point in so many data sets, that an intriguing website WTFHappenedIn1971.com has been created to drive the point home. The website is a parade of data series visually showing how the world changed that year. Be it income, the cost of living, political polarization, the divorce rate and a kitchen sink's worth of other statistics -- from the national debt to deficit spending, childhood obesity, the incarceration rate, energy use per capita -- pretty much all aspects of life as we know it changed materially and permanently in the early 1970s. This week's guest experts, Ben Prentice and Collin, founders of WTFHappenedIn1971.com, explain how virtually all of these changes are a direct or indirect result of the monetary system "breaking" that year with the Nixon Shock and the end of the Bretton Woods System. On a personal note, interviewing Ben and Collin was an unexpected pleasure, as I found it encouraging to discover that members of the Millennial generation are engaging with the shortcomings of our modern debt-based fiat currency system with the same passion and critical thinking as we older cohorts. Perhaps the future might just turn out OK in their hands after all... That said, Ben and Collin echo similar concerns and advice as our previous experts. The system is unfair, unsustainable, and in desperate need of reform. The prudent investor shouldn't expect any real positive change until a painful enough shock forces an abandonment of the status quo -- so it's best to use the time now to position prudently in advance for that inevitability. https://www.greylockpeak.com/ Anyone interested in scheduling a free consultation and portfolio review with Mike Preston and John Llodra and their team at New Harbor Financial can do so by clicking here.

The UK health Minister confirms that he doesn't understand the concept of false positive math. Australia goes full-lockdown despite practically no hospital loading. The media is busy mashing up terms and confusing the landscape using 'cases' when it means 'positive PCR tests' and Covid-19 when it means SARS-CoV-2. What's going on here? Sadly it seems like science, logic and common sense are being scooted to the back of the theater while ignorance and bad policy are combining to assure that in the three way balancing act the economy gets ruined. Yes, there's a second wave that we should fear, but it's the second wave of damage for the economy being brought about by an inappropriate amount of attention being placed upon positive tests. Finally, when it comes to Covid, blood group type doesn't seem relevant (data presented) and N-Acetyl-Cysteine does confer any benefit to hospitalized patients (confirming, in a round-about way, the Bradykinin hypothesis).

PCR testing for Covid is too flawed to make public policy by, but that's what's happening. The UK is on the verge of a new, second lockdown based on an apparent surge in Covid cases. But are these real cases or an artifact of testing? It turns out that half - or more - of the new "cases" are really just false positives. And they aren't even cases as those are (or should be reserved) for people with both confirmed Covid and symptoms requiring medical attention. So a "positive" might be a false positive, or it might be from someone with a legacy fragment of viral RNA from an old and long past infection, or someone who tests positive but is otherwise completely asymptomatic for the duration, or it could be a real case. Despite all that, the UK's prime minister and various health authorities are sounding the alarm, tightening restrictions, and speaking of a second lockdown. In other words, bad science is leading to worse policies. How can this be in this day and age? What's going on? That's what this video explores.

Writer, philosopher and long-time contributor to PeakProsperity.com, Charles Hugh Smith, returns to the podcast to explain the new socio-economic model he has just introduced to the world through his new book A Hacker’s Teleology: Sharing the Wealth of Our Shrinking Planet. The main mission behind Peak Prosperity is to focus on new, more regenerative and sustainable models that will better serve humanity than the old models which are currently falling apart. Charles posits a new way of living that is a) achievable with existing resources and technology, and b) much more equitable and resistant to abuse. We very much need new alternatives like this at this time. Because, once the system breaks in earnest, our ‘leaders’ will be desperate — and as Jared Diamond wisely observed “Nations in crisis borrow and adapt solutions already devised”. So getting good ideas on the table now, so that they’re available to be adopted when needed, is critical.

There are three: The Fed, The Fed and the Fed." After decades of misguided policy and chronically missing its targets, Stockman thinks the Federal Reserve is truly barreling off the rails now, hurtling our market economy towards disaster. He notes that since, 2008, the Fed has subjected the country to twelve and half years of average real negative interest rates of -1.35%. With capital so cheap and no ability to generate a safe return on it, corporations and investors alike have been forced out on the risk curve, which has fostered rampant malinvestment and speculation. The Fed's low interest rate policy has blown serial asset price bubbles that collapse, which the Fed then "fights" by bringing rates even lower for even longer, creating an even worse successor. The Fed's 'leadership' of our economy will end in tears, Stockman predicts with confidence. What type of shock will topple the system -- be it deflation, inflation or civil unrest -- is almost immaterial at this point, though all three are extremely highly credible candidates. Stockman's warning should carry more weight than perhaps any guest we've had yet on this program given his decades of inside expertise interacting with the political and monetary institutions running the show. When someone so knowledgeable and experienced is so worried, the prudent investor should be paying extremely close attention.

Register Now for the Peak Prosperity 2020 Seminar: https://www.peakprosperity.com/seminar2020 After 8 months of reporting only on the coronavirus pandemic, it's high time to zoom out and look at the other major trends that will shape the next several decades of our lives, as many of them will have just as much impact -- or more -- than covid-19. In this video, Chris makes the argument for pursuing *resilience* vs growth -- both in our individual lives as well as a society. The blind pursuit of ever more "growth" is not only mathematically illogical, but it's destroying our future as a species. We need to find better ways to live within our economic, energetic and ecological means. The good news is there are many, many great models that exist today for doing so. We just need to decide to embrace them, and discard the current ones that aren't serving our interests. And please come join us in October for our first-ever digital annual seminar.

SCHEDULE YOUR FREE PORTFOLIO REVIEW with John and the New Harbor Financial team here: https://www.greylockpeak.com/ Well, as we thought it might, the sell-off in stocks that started last week has continued. The Tech-heavy Nasdaq is down -9% from last week’s highs, with high flyers down much more – like Apple down -17% and Tesla down nearly -30%. Was last week the top? Are we headed down further, perhaps much further, going forward? This week's guest expert, Lance Roberts of RIA Advisors predicts that, while no one knows what will happen in the immediate short term, longer term risk in today's markets remains squarely to the downside. In his assessment, the -33% plunge back in February wasn't actually a true correction, as valuation multiples for stocks didn't come down nearly far enough to matter. And of course, these multiples are back at records highs now. Additionally, key markers still show the system is at extreme levels of over-valuation. For example, during a correction, margin debt decreases dramatically during corrections (by being retired or via default), and yet today, margin debt balances are the second-highest in history. Add in the uncertainty of the fast-approaching November US presidential election -- including the increasingly likelihood that no follow-on stimulus package will get passed before then -- and the short-term is looking dicier, too. Lance shares his thoughts on where pockets of opportunity lie for today's investors, but his general outlook is very similar to what ours has consistently been of late: this is a time to prioritize risk management and build capital that you can deploy at better valuations once the inevitable correction arrives.

But before I do, what have we learned over the course of these coronavirus videos? Well, for starters: we thankfully know a good deal at this point how the SARS2 virus infects people and how to treat it cheaply and effectively (even if world governments refuse to do so). The virus has revealed a profound lack of integrity amongst our "leaders" and public health institutions. I don't think that trust will be easily regained -- if ever -- in our lifetime. But while we didn't get *everything* right in our coverage, I'm pretty darn impressed with how far out front of the mainstream media we've consistently been. Putting out these videos, 5/week through May and then 2/week afterwards has been the most intensive effort of my life.

If you want your own RESILIENCE shirt to proudly wear like Chris, go to: https://www.peakprosperity.com/shirts Several recent studies show that Vitamin D is a powerful weapon in preventing and treating covid-19. We all should be taking it. It’s now been clinically proven that people deficient in Vitamin D are statistically more likely to contract the coronavirus if exposed. And similarly, those with greater Vitamin D levels are statistically less likely to get it. And a new study out of Spain shows that Vitamin D (via Calcifediol) is one of the most effective treatments that reduces the impact of those infected with covid-19. When combined with a prudent standard of care including early delivery of hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin, the results are pretty staggering. How staggering? Of 50 patients treated this way, only one (2%) required admission to the ICU vs the control group where 50% of patients required admission. Following the recent insights about the Bradykinin pathway of transmission, we are now really starting to gain the upper hand on understanding effective ways to prevent and treat covid-19.

As of the time of this publication, over the past day and half, the S&P 500 has fallen by -5.5% and the Nasdaq by -9%. As we have long been warning, tops are processes, which can take months to play out. But corrections are events; they happen quickly -- oftentimes leaving you no time to react. Case in point: just look at Tesla (TSLA). On Tuesday, the stock hit an all-time-high of $500/share. Investor confidence was off the charts. But now? It's down to $380. That's a 24% drop. In just two and a half days. Given the (over)confidence the months-long rally had imbued them with, many recent investors in Tesla were buying call options vs the underlying stock. Given the current plunge, those call options are now totally worthless. A LOT of people, many of them neophytes who didn't appreciate the risk involved and who can't afford these losses, have just gotten badly burned. Of course, TSLA is just one example. The current carnage in the markets is widespread, across all sectors -- exactly as we've been warning for months was likely to happen. And yet, there's another factor that may add additional surprise for investors into the mix: the potential that the US dollar may strengthen substantially from here. That is a move that today's markets are definitely NOT expecting, with shorting the USD currently being one of the most popular trades. This week's guest expert, Brent Johnson of Santiago Capital explains the Dollar Milkshake Theory and why he predicts the vast one-sided trade against the US dollar is dangerously wrong. In the short term, if surprised by a sharply-rising dollar, markets will likely sell-off further. Those watching these weekly Market Update videos know well that we've been warning for months that this is one of the most treacherous times ever for investors. The "unstoppable" rally may very well have just ended and, given the massive over-valuations that still remain as well as the persisting damage to the real economy, the bottom may be far lower than current market participants can imagine.

We need to standardize on tests that will actual give us accurate information. Second, let's talk bad testes. The data is in, and it doesn't look good for men who get sick with covid-19. Severe cases appear to do serious damage to the seminiferous tubules of the testes, which produce and regulate testosterone.

SCHEDULE YOUR FREE PORTFOLIO REVIEW with John and the New Harbor Financial team here: https://www.greylockpeak.com/ Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell announced on Thursday that the Fed will now shift its focus from hitting inflation targets and instead prioritize closing "unemployment shortfalls". This gives it cover to do "whatever it takes" until the unemployment rate is back down into the low single digits. Inflation can now run hotter than 2%, rates can stay at 0% (or go negative) for the next decade+, more QE.... all is fair game now in the pursuit of lower unemployment. Essentially, the Fed is now tripling-down on the same failed policies that have created today's zombie economy and the worst economic inequality in our nation's history. Perhaps the folks at the Fed are smarter than we think, and there's actually a grand plan they're pursuing that's going to work out to society's benefit? Sadly no, reveals this week's expert guest, Danielle DiMartino-Booth. Danielle knows the Fed inside and out, as she worked as a consultant for nearly a decade to Richard Fischer, President of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas, including helping deal with the Great Financial Crisis. She knows how the organization runs, as well as the specific people running it. And her assessment is that the Fed is trapped in a nightmare of its own making and is merely playing for time at this point. Everything it throws at the situation is designed to hopefully get the system to limp through the next quarter or two without breaking, at which point they'll scramble to come up with the next short-term "solution". In the video below, Danielle breaks down the important takeaways and repercussions of Chairman Powell's Jackson Hole speech and vents her frustration at both his duplicity with the public and the media's cowardly refusal to hold him to account. As our other recent guest experts have warned, Danielle confirms this is an exceptionally treacherous time in the markets for investors, as the Fed's intervention has and continues to deform and distort prices far beyond reason.

Here in 2020, the stock market looks Too Big To Fall. So much of the status quo is now dependent on ever-higher asset prices that any weakness is immediately met with overwhelming support by the central banks and/or national legislatures. Many are now wondering: will stocks ever be allowed to drop again? While that question sound facetious, it’s not. After a decade+ epic run-up in the markets, capped by the past year-long melt-up to levels of price over-valuation never seen before in history, there are practically no bears left on Wall Street. Having been burned for so long, they can’t afford to remain contrarian. Everyone is now on the same side (long, baby, long) of the boat. Of course, it’s at lopsided moments like this when major reversals catch everyone by surprise, warns this week’s guest expert and master technical analyst, Sven Henrich. Sven regards the markets today as nothing less than a “circus” where a never-ending parade of distractions and rumors serve to divert our attention from the underlying horrible technicals and anaemic fundamentals. In the video below, he walks us through the key technical indicators he’s tracking mostly closely right now that suggest a massive reversion to the mean from today’s distorted highs is a major risk. Can things still go higher from here? Absolutely — but unlikely for much longer, especially with such a contentious US presidential election looming. For Sven, the future is all about calculated risk/reward probabilities. And he sure sees a lot more risks right now for investors than he does continued upside return.

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.

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. Don't forget to get your free download of Peak Prosperity's book Prosper!.

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.
