Chris MacIntosh: The Age of Consequences | Why No One Has Incentives to Stop This War
In this episode, Tom Bodrovics speaks with the always forthright hedge fund manager Chris MacIntosh about the current state of markets and society, which MacIntosh characterizes as a historic “blow-off top” encompassing both financial excess and social absurdity. He argues that the system is breaking down due to unsustainable debt and geopolitical conflict that no major power has an incentive to end. MacIntosh frames the current situation as an “age of consequences” resulting from years of underinvestment in critical resources, particularly energy. He highlights a severe and complacent energy market, with over 12 million barrels per day offline due to conflict and supply chain disruption, far exceeding past crises. This reality is inflationary and contradicts deflationary predictions. https://rumble.com/v79ugpe-chris-macintosh-the-age-of-consequences-why-no-one-has-incentives-to-stop-t.html?mref=4l0f2k&mc=8pyn9 MacIntosh stresses that energy is the feedstock for nearly everything, from plastics to fertilizer, and shortages will have profound second-order effects. From an investment perspective, he advocates rotating away from speculative, overvalued assets like AI hype stocks and toward tangible, essential commodities that satisfy Maslow’s hierarchy of needs: energy, precious metals, and agriculture. He notes gold is already in a bull market against most other assets. MacIntosh also emphasizes the importance of jurisdictional risk, pointing to Latin America, particularly Argentina, as a region with uncontested energy resources. He contrasts the “parasitic” Western economic system with a more prepared and productive Chinese system, which has strategically stockpiled resources. Ultimately, MacIntosh advises listeners to take personal agency, structure assets to be out of reach of governments, and develop productive skills rather than relying on politicians or passive consumption. The core message is to acknowledge the systemic risks, prepare for a world where net worth may be calculated in kilojoules rather than dollars, and take action to create solutions rather than bemoaning the state of affairs.

Chris Vermeulen: The Hidden Signals That Could Predict the Next Market Crash
In this episode of The Competent Investor, Chris Vermeulen, founder of The Technical Traders, discusses the current market environment with your host Tom. Vermeulen observes that the market is exhibiting signs of a potential blow-off top, driven by FOMO and a strong risk-on sentiment. Investors are piling into technology, AI, small caps, and speculative stocks, while defensive sectors like utilities and dividend-paying stocks lag. He emphasizes that extreme bullish sentiment is a contrarian indicator, warning that when the herd is all moving in one direction, it may signal a crowded trade. However, he cautions that this does not mean the market cannot go higher; bubbles can persist. Vermeulen explains his approach to market analysis, which integrates price, time, and sentiment. He uses money flow indicators to determine when to be long or short, rather than relying on news or geopolitical events. He recounts how many subscribers missed a recent rally due to fears over the Iran war, highlighting the importance of following a disciplined strategy and not cherry-picking trades based on emotion. Regarding precious metals, Vermeulen notes that silver has shown a strong breakout, but gold has not confirmed the move. He advises waiting for gold to signal a clear uptrend before committing to the sector. He also discusses the dollar’s indecision and its correlation with metals and equities. Vermeulen recommends that investors manage risk by raising cash and not adding to positions after a strong rally. For younger investors, he stresses the importance of accumulating assets like real estate, equities, and whole life insurance to build long-term wealth. He concludes that while the equity trend remains up, caution is warranted, and money may rotate into precious metals if the stock market stalls.

Danielle DiMartino Booth: Warsh’s Fed Takeover | A Quiet Coup Brewing?
Tom Bodrovics welcomes back Danielle DiMartino Booth, CEO and Chief Strategist for Quill Intelligence LLC, for a discussion on the economic landscape and the Federal Reserve’s role. DiMartino Booth highlights the complexities surrounding Jerome Powell’s potential departure from the Fed, noting that while Powell has faced criminal charges, he is likely to stay to protect his integrity and prevent a Trump-appointed successor. She draws a historical parallel to Mariner Eccles’ tenure, suggesting that Powell’s presence ensures a separation between the Treasury and the Fed’s monetary policy. The conversation also touches on the Fed’s communication strategies and the potential for a liquidity crisis, with DiMartino Booth advising incoming Fed Chair Kevin Warsh to prepare for such an event. Danielle emphasizes that the U.S. is already in a recession, evidenced by job losses and GDP revisions. She points out the impact of rising oil prices and the potential for a prolonged recession, noting that the oil shock could exacerbate existing economic issues. Danielle also explores the implications of high levels of household debt and the potential for a debt jubilee or other unconventional economic measures.

Josh Young: $200 Oil | Latest Iran Peace Deal Won’t Stop It
Tom welcomes Josh Young, CIO of Bison Interests, to discuss the potential for a prolonged and sticky energy shock stemming from the closure of the Strait of Hormuz amid the Iranian conflict. He emphasizes the profound uncertainty surrounding the conflict’s duration, noting that neither military participants nor analysts can predict its timeline, which explains recent oil price volatility. Young challenges the prevailing view that global oil inventories of roughly 8.4 billion barrels are insufficient, arguing that the system can absorb a much larger drawdown—potentially another billion barrels or more—before facing severe physical shortages. He warns that as inventories deplete, the relationship between supply and price becomes nonlinear, with prices potentially accelerating from $125 to $200 or $250 per barrel if the strait remains closed for several more months. Young also addresses the resilience of energy infrastructure, observing that refineries and export facilities often return to operation faster than expected due to spare equipment and skilled labor, though LNG facilities face unique supply chain constraints. He notes that general equity markets have largely ignored the crisis, partly because energy stocks represent only about 4% of the S&P 500, but also due to institutional underallocation and a persistent belief that oil is a declining industry. This creates a favorable environment for energy investors, as companies buy back stock at discounts and pay high dividends. Finally, Young highlights the risk of AI-generated misinformation, particularly in financial markets, and stresses the growing value of original, critical analysis over algorithmically produced content. He concludes that while high oil prices could devastate emerging economies, the current moderate prices suggest significant upside potential remains.

Willem Middelkoop: Escape the Crash – Ride the Gold Supercycle
Willem Middelkoop, author of “The Big Reset” and founder of the Commodity Discovery Fund, discusses the geopolitical and economic impacts of recent conflicts, particularly the war in Ukraine and tensions around Iran. He argues that the U.S. has lost significant geopolitical influence, while China has gained, and the Strait of Hormuz’s closure has put pressure on oil prices. Middelkoop predicts that oil prices could reach $150 per barrel to achieve real demand destruction, leading to a worldwide recession. He also warns of a potential sovereign debt crisis, citing Jamie Dimon’s concerns about a severe downturn in credit markets. Middelkoop highlights the shifting dynamics in the mining industry, with governments now recognizing the importance of critical metals. He expects a multi-decade bull market in commodities due to shortages, currency debasement, and geopolitical tensions. Despite recent sell-offs, he sees gold and silver as safe havens and expects higher prices, especially as central banks continue to buy gold. He also discusses the potential for a silver short squeeze and the impact of higher energy prices on mining margins. The conversation touches on the broader implications for the global economy, including the potential for a new international monetary architecture and the role of gold. Middelkoop emphasizes the importance of diversification and risk management, noting that his fund has adopted a more defensive stance with a large cash position. He also discusses the potential for nuclear and renewable energy sources to gain prominence due to the current energy crisis.

Martin Armstrong: How Debt Crisis Could Spark Further Global Chaos
Martin Armstrong, CEO & Chairman of Armstrong Economics, shares his insights on global politics, economic strategies, and the current geopolitical landscape with host Tom Bodrovics. Armstrong, with 50 years of experience, critiques the lack of long-term strategic thinking in governments, citing examples such as the Iran and Ukraine conflicts. He argues that leaders often prioritize short-term gains, like winning the next election, over addressing critical issues like national debt and defense spending. Armstrong also discusses the impact of the national debt, highlighting that interest expenditures are now exceeding military expenditures, a situation he finds alarming yet predictable. Armstrong delves into the complexities of the Middle East, particularly the Iranian conflict, and the strategic blunders made by various administrations. He criticizes the lack of foresight in military interventions, using the Iraq War as an example, and warns about the potential for a sovereign debt crisis in the Middle East, which could have far-reaching economic consequences. He also discusses the interconnectedness of global economies and the potential for a liquidity crisis caused by the Iranian war, affecting not just oil but also critical resources like fertilizer and copper. The conversation also touches on the political landscape in the United States and Europe, with Armstrong expressing concern about the infiltration of government by individuals with personal vendettas, leading to endless wars and political instability. He criticizes the lack of strategic thinking in current leadership, using examples like the Biden administration and the influence of figures like Netanyahu and Zelensky. Armstrong predicts a steep recession in the United States and a depression in Europe by 2028, driven by economic policies and geopolitical tensions. Armstrong’s pessimistic outlook extends to the future of global politics, suggesting that the current system is broken and in need of a major overhaul. He proposes a direct democracy as a potential solution, where citizens vote on critical issues like war, rather than leaving decisions to a small group of unelected officials.

He is the former chairman of Princeton Economics International Ltd. He is best known for his economic predictions based on the Economic Confidence Model, which he developed. At age 13, Armstrong began working at a coin and stamp dealership in Pennsauken, New Jersey. After buying a bag of rare Canadian pennies, he became a millionaire in 1965 at the age of 15. He continued to work on weekends through high school, finding the real-world exciting, for this was the beginning of the collapse of the gold standard. Martin became captivated by this shocking revelation that there were not just booms and busts, but also peaks and valleys that would last centuries. Armstrong progressed from gold coin investments to following commodity prices for precious metals. In 1973, he began publishing commodity market predictions as a hobby, and in 1983 Armstrong began accepting paid subscriptions for a forecast newsletter. “In Armstrong’s view of the world where boom-

Steve Todoruk: Deglobalization is Creating the Next Mining Boom
Tom welcomes Steve Todoruk, a geoscientist and investment executive with Sprott Wealth Management, to discuss his extensive experience in the junior mining sector and his current focus on identifying promising investment opportunities in gold, silver, and copper. Steve’s background in running mining companies has given him a unique perspective on the industry, enabling him to appreciate the challenges and opportunities faced by mining companies and investors alike. He highlights the strong fundamentals supporting gold prices, including central banks’ increased gold holdings and the metal’s scarcity. Steve believes that gold prices will remain robust as long as central banks continue to accumulate gold, and he sees no immediate signs of a market top. Todoruk also emphasizes the importance of cost management in mining, noting that as long as mining costs remain under $2,000 an ounce, mining companies should continue to make strong profits. The discussion touches on the impact of geopolitical tensions on gold and silver prices, with Todoruk expressing satisfaction with the metals’ performance despite recent market volatility. He also notes that higher metal prices have enabled mining companies to strengthen their balance sheets and invest in exploration, creating a positive feedback loop for the industry. Todoruk’s investment strategy focuses on identifying companies with strong catalysts for growth, such as significant new discoveries or the acquisition of non-core assets from major mining companies. He prefers to invest in tranches, gradually building positions in promising companies as they release positive drill results and grow their deposits. Todoruk is also open to investing in mid-tier producers that have acquired non-core assets from majors, as these companies can generate strong cash flow and have multiple catalysts for growth. Throughout the discussion, Todoruk emphasizes the importance of having a knowledgeable guide in the junior mining sector, as the complexities of the industry can be challenging for individual investors to navigate.

Alasdair Macleod: Silver Shortage 🚨Alert🚨China’s Export Ban, Hoarding, is Squeezing Inventory
Your host Tom Bodrovics and Alasdair Macleod, Head of Research for GoldMoney and author of the Macleod Finance Substack, discuss the significant financial stresses exacerbated by the ongoing war and pre-existing economic issues. Macleod highlights that government finances, particularly in G7 economies, are heavily reliant on deficit spending, creating an unsustainable situation. He also notes that the value of commodities priced in gold has fallen to unusually low levels, indicating an underlying bull market in commodities, which includes oil and other energy sources. The war in the Persian Gulf has accelerated the rise in commodity prices, leading to significant inflationary pressures and potential bond market stress. The US, with a massive debt overhang and short-term debt maturities, faces a challenging situation. Macleod emphasizes that the Fed, driven by political pressures, will likely intervene to prevent an economic slump, potentially leading to a rapid devaluation of the dollar. He compares the current situation to the 1970s UK, where high bond yields and inflation led to economic turmoil. Macleod also discusses the potential for Japan and China to sell US Treasuries due to their energy dependence and geopolitical tensions, further complicating the US Treasury market. The conversation touches on the petro-dollar system, with Macleod suggesting a transition to a petro-yuan system as China and other countries move away from the dollar. Regarding gold and silver, Macleod noted that China’s recent changes in silver exports and imports have significantly impacted global markets, with China now focusing on stockpiling silver for its own industrial needs. He predicted that rising bond yields and inflation will ultimately drive the collapse of fiat currencies, making gold and silver attractive as stores of value.
