Shortage and Breakdowns

It’s not the fall that hurts, it’s suddenly stopping.  In December 2019 the entire world, just-in-time global economy was humming along, a month later it metaphorically ran into a brick wall. A stop so sudden that nobody has any clue how bad things got harmed.  Because it’s a complex system it also means that nobody...

James Wesley Rawles: Practical Coronavirus Preparation

James Wesley Rawles is a former Army Intelligence officer who runs the popular disaster and emergency preparation website SurvivalBlog.com.

As an expert who has spent over a decades advising people on how to plan for a wide array of crises — including pandemics — we wanted to sit down asap with Jim to learn his practical recommendations for defending your home and family from the coronavirus threat.

In this interview, Jim and I get into the nitty-gritty of the “how to’s”, including:

• Masks/Gloves/Eye Protection/other PPE: What kind to get? How often can you use them? Tips for disinfecting? What options are there when supplies run out?
• Surfaces: What cleaners/sanitizers are best? How to disinfect? How to deal with package deliveries?
• Disinfection: How to re-enter your home without contaminating it?
• Food & Water: What supplies to have in case of quarantine/store closures/prolonged utilities outages?
• Home Care: Which supplies — like nebulizers and oxygen concentrators — will be useful in helping sick family members cope?
• Community support: How to help prepare your neighbors in advance of an outage in your area? How to support each other during a community quarantine?

You’ll want to listen to this podcast soon, as many of the resources Jim recommends are fast disappearing from retail shelves. It’s nearly too late to acquire certain PPE (like N95 masks) and Jim identifies which supplies are most in danger of disappearing next (he strongly urges getting bulk food supplies asap before the run on those begins in earnest)

When It Comes To Protection From The Coronavirus, You’re On Your Own

The coronavirus is now reported in 59 countries.

It’s a global pandemic, even if the WHO still refuses to call it that.

And speaking of the WHO, the CDC, and most of the governments around the world, they’re still unwilling to urge folks to take advance preparation. In too many cases, the numbers and terminology are being ‘fudged’ in ways both obvious and insulting.

It’s getting maddening at this point. Not only is their lack of urgency putting lives at risk, it’s increasing the chaos and panic that will ensue in areas overwhelmed by mass outbreaks when they occur.

Even the stubborn financial markets have finally realized that covid-19 is a major problem and have been in violent meltdown. In fact, the past week has seen the fastest 10%+ loss in the S&P 500 in history.

Folks, this is now a fast-spreading global crisis and it’s crystal clear we can’t rely on the authorities adequately protect or even forewarn us.

When it comes to protection from the coronavirus, you’re on your own.

Keep preparing while there’s still time.

VIDEO: Market Meltdown Update

We’ve been covering the spread of the coronavirus so intently over the past 30 days that we’d understand if you might have forgotten that, actually, we usually focus on many other topics on this website than global pandemics.

One topic we’ve tracked closely for years is the highly unsustainable levels of financial asset prices. We’ve been warning our readers for a *long* time that the markets are overdue for a painful correction. Our podcast with analyst Sven Henrick earlier this week gave great detail on the many reasons why.

And the coronavirus, with the havoc it’s wreaking on global trade, may just be proving to be the “black swan” pin that pops the market’s bubble. The sharp swoon we’ve seen over the past week has been historic: it’s the fastest 10%+ drop in the S&P 500’s history.

In the short video below, we check in with the lead partners of New Harbor Financial, Peak Prosperity’s endorsed financial advisor, to get their seasoned take on the current market meltdown:

Anyone interesting in schedule a free consultation and portfolio review can do so by clicking here.

And if you’re one of the many readers brand new to Peak Prosperity over the past few weeks, we strongly urge you get your financial situation in order in parallel with your 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.

But if not, consider talking to the team at New Harbor. We’ve set up this ‘free consultation’ relationship with them to help folks exactly like you.

Off The Cuff: The End Of China’s Exceptionalism?

Beneath its facade as a rising superpower, the social contract within China has been deteriorating. And now with the covid-19 virus dealing a 1-2 punch of a public health crisis and an economic crisis, the populace may be nearing a breaking point. They have traded freedom and fair treatment in exchange for an ever-rising lifestyle. But now that the government can no longer guarantee continued prosperity, and may be responsible for thousands (or more?) deaths by initially denying the coronavirus crisis, will people remain tolerant of its authoritarianism? Charles isn't sure they will. He sees good potential for social revolt.

It’s Always a Freak Show with Gerald Celente

from Financial Survival Network

Gerald Celente says that if you want to know why things are screwed up, take a good look at your family (not mine). The corona virus could be a pandemic, but Gerald thinks not. So far the mortality rate has been relatively low. Just like the weatherman likes to panic the public at the first sign of a hurricane, so to with our public health officials. Why believe one word that comes out of any government. They’re lying. So far there’s very little outbreak in South America, just one case in Brazil. However he does believe there will be a Black Plague 2.0 due to the poisons in our food, air and water. So let’s stay calm and get ready for the big one.

So Goes February, So Goes the Market? with Danielle Park

from Financial Survival Network

Danielle Park asks, is the January Effect dead? Is it now the February Effect? After Tesla nearly hit $1000 per share, it’s now fallen almost 20 percent. Global trade contracted in 2019. Perhaps the world economy was already declining and this is just the final chapter of the stock market’s long extended bull market. Passive investing is the dominant form of investing, whatever happened to stock pickers? And the debt keeps on increasing. But the important question is are we really at the end or can the world’s central banks achieve the impossible and inflate the market for yet another go ’round?

Coronavirus Situation Is Quickly Going From Bad To Worse.

The situation with the coronavirus is quickly going from bad to worse.

Hundreds of cases breaking out across the world, dozens of new deaths.

And, of course, these are just the official numbers. Many countries have inadequate/non-existent testing procedures, so the true numbers may be quite a bit higher.

As covid-19 continues to rip through the EU, Iran and South Korea, the US has just announced its first case of “communal infection”, meaning the virus may now be endemic here, as well.

“Holy smokes! What should I do?” is now the #1 question on the mind of millions of people around the world waking up to this.

We are working on even more educational material you can share with those in your life who are late to the coronavirus preparation process we’ve all been on for week.

$2500 Gold Coming Soon with Charles Nenner

from Financial Survival Network

Charles Nenner was long gold from $1494 and closed the trade two days ago when it hit its short term cycle peak. Chareles believes that it will resume it’s upward trajectory in early summer 2020, eventually hitting a $2500. The Vix hit a high as predicted. Crude is still going to 36. Natgas hit a low of 1.77 per mm btu, another Nenner call. Charles’s target high for the S&P was 3389 and that’s where it landed. As long as there’s no monthly close below 3080 the bull market continues on. No real correction coming on bonds. Interest rates still heading down. No inflation ahead as the economy weakens. A recession/depression is still on its way.

Coronavirus Containment Has Failed

Within and without China, the coronavirus continues to rage on.

A leaked report claims that actual covid-19 cases within China are 52x higher than the 78K reported by authorities.

Whether true or not, that estimate comports with the massive heavy-handed response the government has been pursuing there.

Outside of China, more cases in more countries are being reported, especially in the EU. Since yesterday, new cases have been reported in Sweden, Greece, France, Spain, Germany, and, of course, Italy.

The virus appears as virulent as ever. Remember those photos of sick people collapsing on the street in China? Well, we’re now seeing the same thing in South Korea and Iran.

Infections continue to grow at a non-linear (i.e., exponential) rate. New cases & death are *doubling* worldwide every 4-5 days(!).

Containment has failed. The coronavirus is spreading worldwide and it’s prudent to assume it’s headed near where you live at some point. Use the time you still have now to prepare.

Being well-stocked, well-trained and in a position to help others is your best defense at this point.

Journey from Engineer to Investor with Newsletter Writer, Brian Leni

Brian Leni of JuniorStockReview.com started out life as a steel company engineer. His career was advancing nicely, but then in 2013 he got bitten by the resource stock bug. He sold his home and invested 2/3 of the proceeds into the sector. He got extremely lucky (or smart) and got out near the 2016 rally’s peak, substantially increasing his capital in the process. Now he’s publishing the Junior Stock Review and continuing on with his plan. With his profits, he was able to purchase an upgraded home. Now he sees the sector’s future as extremely bright and he’s ready for a repeat performance. Not too shabby and proof that it can be done.

Ponzi Schemes Hit the Highest Level in a Decade with Tom Hardin

from Financial Survival Network

Tom Hardin notes that investor money ensnared in alleged Ponzi schemes has hit its highest level in a decade, leading to concern that a booming stock market and de-regulatory agenda are pushing more fraudsters to bilk unsuspecting investors. State and federal authorities uncovered 60 alleged Ponzi schemes last year with a total of $3.25 billion in investor funds — the largest amount of money unearthed in these scams since 2010 and more than double the amount from 2018, according to data from the website Ponzitracker. A Ponzi scheme is a type of fraud whereby crooks steal money from investors and mask the theft by funneling returns to clients from funds contributed by newer investors. Bernard Madoff ran the largest Ponzi scheme in history, a $65 billion scam encompassing thousands of investors that was uncovered in 2008. Madoff, who is serving a 150-year sentence in federal prison, recently said he was dying from terminal kidney disease and asked a judge to grant him early release. Ponzi schemes alleged by civil and criminal authorities last year pale in comparison to scams unearthed around the time of the 2008 financial crisis, such as Madoff’s and those of other notorious criminals such as Thomas Petters and Allen Stanford, who ran respective $3.7 billion and $8 billion frauds. In 2008, for example, authorities found 40 Ponzi schemes with a combined $23 billion of investor funds — roughly seven times the amount of funds from last year, according to Ponzitracker, data of which is compiled by Jordan Maglich, an attorney at Quarles & Brady. While it’s too soon to tell if last year’s total was an anomaly, some experts fear it could herald a return to more sinister times.

The Coronavirus Pandemic Is A Crisis Now Obvious To All

As 19th century German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer claimed, “All truth passes through three stages: First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as self-evident.”

After weeks of denial, and attacks on voices like Peak Prosperity who dared question the “Everything is fine!” narrative, world governments and their mass media partners are finally admitting that the coronavirus threat is real and serious.

The pandemic continues to spread across the globe, interestingly, largely in the northern hemisphere at this time. This may suggest it could migrate south as fall/winter arrives there, possibly returning northwards when the seasons change again. Time will tell.

Meanwhile, the markets continue their sell-off as the economic damage from the impairment of Asian supply chains become more apparent.

How much further can they fall? A LOT if the virus continues to rage on for months.

As this crisis is now becoming more obvious to all, remember that your best time to prepare is BEFORE the panicked herd stampedes.

Take the time you have now to keep plugging away at your preparations, so that you’re secure and positioned to help should covid-19 hit your community.

Be sure you’re up-to-date on developments with the coronavirus. All of our latest covid-19 video updates, podcasts and articles can be accessed here for free.
