Despite the increasing role of the United States as an oil producer and exporter, most of her reserves remain in the ground, untapped. One reason for the wasted potential is political gridlock. Wayne Christian, the Texas Railroad Commissioner, claims Democrat officials are holding back the production of billions of oil and gas barrels from deposits in West Texas and New Mexico.

The global monetary system underpinned by massive government debt can subsist for only so long before reality kicks in. What will come next? Massive wealth transfer, says Christopher Martenson, CEO and co-founder of Peak Prosperity. He argues faith in the US dollar is not eternal, and those holding bonds, stocks, and fiat currency will bear the brunt of the fallout.

As a towering libertarian figure and former presidential candidate, Ron Paul has been advocating for reform of the Federal Reserve for years. Recent political drama obscures the fact that the current monetary system, he argues, works to the benefit of an out-of-control government and its insiders, not the average citizen. ⚠ FREE: Get Brien Lundin’s Top Two Mining Stocks! ➡ https://goldnewsletter.com/bonus Leading US presidential candidates rightly rail against crony capitalism but fail to understand a major piece of the puzzle: sound money.

A lot of dysfunctions within America’s economy can be traced back to the Federal Reserve’s heavy hand in setting interest rates and tweaking the money supply. Danielle Dimartino Booth, CEO of Quill Intelligence and former advisor to the Dallas Fed, believes the US central bank lost its way in the 1970s when Congress tasked it with ensuring both maximum employment and price stability.

Policies that disregard the risks of loose credit such as quantitative easing and modern monetary theory are all the rage nowadays, but there is no such thing as a free lunch. Asset manager Adrian Day argues the 2008 bailout of Wall Street has inflated the stock market and deepened the divide that is corroding our social fabric.

Cryptocurrencies have promised to usher in a new era of finance, yet mainstream institutions have been reluctant, slow adopters. Further, the cost of transactions and fluctuating prices have impeded viability for general purchases. Diana Barrero of Yale University’s Blockchain Initiative explains that stablecoins, given their lower volatility, offer better integration into the existing regulatory framework. She argues that stablecoins have potential in retail commerce and remittances, since today’s legacy systems require unnecessary and expensive intermediaries.

The parallels between today’s economy of unicorn IPOs and the Roaring Twenties just before the Great Crash are easy to miss for those without a knowledge of history. Grant Williams, the experienced financier and co-founder of Real Vision Group, identifies similar trends of extreme monetary policies and social unrest over inequality. He argues the day of reckoning will eventually come for financial institutions that go against human nature, at which point a gold standard will need to be reinstated to contain the resulting chaos. This week we interview Claudia Tornquist, CEO of Dunnedin Ventures, a Discovery Group company that is fast delivering value to its shareholders.

The price rises of gold and other precious metals in recent months should have propelled the junior-mining industry. What is holding it down? For Frank Holmes, CEO of US Global Investors and a regular commentator on financial television networks, the answer is regulation. Many banks and brokers cannot recommend junior-mining stocks due to government limits on investors and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria. On the other hand, crypto mining, a virtually unregulated industry, did see a rise in investing across the board. ⚠ Get a bonus‼ https://goldnewsletter.com/bonus/ In our weekly interview with CEOs of the Discovery Group, Chris Taylor, head of Great Bear Resources, tells us how gold exploration drives the company’s impressive growth.

Many US states claim to balance their budgets, but for decades they have underreported or understated huge liabilities in pension benefits. Every year, Bill Bergman, director of research with Truth in Accounting, shines light on the real situation with the Financial State of the States report. Total unfunded state debt amounted to $1.5 trillion in 2018, and there has been little improvement since the study’s first edition in 2009. He explains one day investors will see the writing on the wall and stop showing up at bond sales, leaving state employees in a perilous position.

America’s fundamental ideals are more likely to be found in history books than in the rhetoric of the 2020 US presidential primaries and election. Julia Song, a conservative activist and commentator, fled Brazil’s socialist meltdown—which preceded Jair Bolsonaro’s rise—and moved to North Carolina, only to find the same drift toward statism. To make matters worse, she believes prominent conservative pundits are ill-equipped to counter the rise of leftist candidates who have succeeded in convincing voters of their solutions to both real and manufactured crises. Her concern is the conditions are in place for the United States to be one election away from what she defines as outright socialism. In our weekly interview with the Discovery Group, we talk with Tom Martin, director of Corporate Development at Ethos Gold, about the firm’s four mining projects.

Ross Gerber loves Tesla. Unlike many in the precious–metals industry, the president and CEO of Gerber Kawasaki Wealth and Investment Management believes there is no bubble in tech companies. He argues that behavioral adaptation to global warming will drive oil demand down in the long term and make eco-friendly innovations profitable. Where he does see a bubble is in fiat currency, and deems gold and bitcoin solid monetary alternatives. Our weekly Discovery Group interview features Jim Paterson, CEO of ValOre Metals.

A minor truce between Washington and Beijing to ease off the trade war will not be enough to avert a recession. Matt Warder and Sean Levine, directors of research and product development at Energy Capital Research Group, believe the wheels are already in motion for a global slowdown.

For the average citizen, the race to the bottom of interest rates in much of the developed world means eroded savings and a lower standard of living.

Like clockwork, the Argentine peso collapses every decade or so, throwing the South American country into chaos. For Steve Hanke, economics professor at Johns Hopkins University and director of the Troubled Currencies Project with the Cato Institute, the only way out is what regular Argentines already do whenever a new crisis looms large: convert their pesos to dollars. If not dollarization, which has been successful in taming hyperinflation and government indiscipline across the world, he argues a gold-backed currency board would be equally effective. Our weekly Discovery Group interview features Darren Klinck, CEO of Bluestone Resources, who describes an exceptional opportunity in one of the world’s highest-grade undeveloped gold projects.

As the globe braces for an imminent downturn and investors accept negative-yield bonds, all eyes are on central banks. However, Mark Rossano, founder and CEO of C6 Capital Holdings, contends the monetary tools offer little salvation for productivity. Growth in dollar-denominated debt from emerging countries and preference for US treasuries keep the greenback in a dominant position. Further, given the decline of other major currencies, relatively speaking the dollar will strengthen and be positively correlated with gold, he argues. Our weekly Discovery Group interview features Brandon Macdonald, CEO of Fireweed Zinc, who makes the case for investing in world-class zinc deposits.

Signs are growing for a worldwide economic downturn. This time, central banks may be powerless to stop it. Ronald Stöferle, a partner of the Liechtenstein-based investment firm Incrementum AG, explains how his "In Gold We Trust" report was able to foresee the coming storm. He argues the United States has probably already entered a recession as big players seek refuge in gold and mining stocks.

Despite the righteous demands of environmentalists and politicians, fossil fuels are not going away anytime soon. Peter Hartley, a professor and scholar of energy economics with the Baker Institute for Public Policy at Rice University, argues natural gas will play an essential role in the transition to clean electricity. He explains how the United States went from being the world’s largest importer of gas to one of the major exporters thanks to innovation, infrastructure, and property rights.
