Dave argues that the weekly economic data is indicative of the U.S. already in a recession. Eighty percent of all U.S. households have been experiencing the characteristics of a recession. Credit card usage is spiking and this is likely because people are relying on them to make ends meet. Inflation remains rampant at double digits.

It seems unlikely that the Fed will conduct quantitative tightening. Government spending deficit continues to balloon. This year's tax receipts will likely be down and the deficits will only increase. Who will be buying that debt other than the Fed?

In addition, there appear to be major problems occurring behind the curtains with the credit markets. The quality of corporate credit is deteriorating quickly.

We've been seeing a slow steady shift away from the dollar for the past decade. China has been utilizing its own currency in bilateral trade for some time. China has increased the size of its Asian trading markets so they are now less reliant on trade with the United States.

The derivatives markets are the Achilles heel of the system. An example is the paper 'gold' derivatives versus the actual physical markets. They rely on investors leaving their 'metal' on the exchanges. Their worst nightmare would be for numerous funds and investors to demand delivery.

He discusses what happens when general investors start moving into the miners and the outsized returns one can expect.

Dave discusses the lack of investigation of fraud by the SEC. Every market cycle seems to make these investigations less likely. A lot of fraud continues to be perpetuated and there is a revolving door between government and corporations.
