As
investors
approach
the
age
of
50,
their
focus
should
shift
away
from
capital
performance
to
income
maximization.
Our
guest
guides
clients
away
from
market
timing
approaches
in
favor
of
solid,
reliable
income
strategies.
Investors
under
50
typically
can
afford
the
luxury
of
higher
risk
investments,
but
as
retirement
approaches
the
odds
of
recouping
ill-timed
investments,
dwindles.
Developing
a
4-7%
dividend
stream
facilitates
a
comfortable
retirement,
bypassing
the
urge
to
gamble
via
risky
shares.
Readers
are
encouraged
to
download
Michael
Eastham's
must
read
investing
paper,
The
Red
Zone
of
Retirement,
in
PDF
format.
The
duo
discuss
methods
to
boost
passive,
dividend
income
in
the
precious
metals
sector.
The
guest
/
host
concur,
the
Great
Recession
of
2008
never
ended;
policymakers
merely
delayed
the
inevitable
day
of
economic
reckoning.
His
sources
indicate
that
Fed
insiders
are
de
facto
manipulating
the
CME
futures
markets
via
colocation
near
the
exchanges.
Although
the
precious
metals
markets
have
corrected
ahead
of
Fed
rate
hikes,
liquidity
actually
expanded
with
approximately
$5
billion
directed
to
banks.
The
USD/JPN
currency
pair
has
an
approximate
85%
correlation
with
the
gold
price,
offering
speculators
a
potentially
lucrative
arbitrage
opportunity.
The
precious
metals
markets
may
be
on
the
cusp
of
exciting
times
amid
record
demand
/
supply
conditions.
Chris
Martenson
is
equally
encouraged
by
severe
supply
shortfalls
in
silver
output,
further
evidence
supporting
the
potential
for
explosive
gains.
Our
guest
presents
compelling
evidence
of
declining
oil
discoveries
beginning
in
2014,
leading
to
shortages
by
2018.
Expect
a
rare
opportunity
to
purchase
high
yielding
energy
royalty
shares
at
relative
discounts.
The
crude
oil
sector
represents
a
potential
value;
OPEC
nations
continue
to
flood
the
market
with
every
available
source.
Given
the
cost
of
$100-$125
per
barrel
through
deep
water
drilling,
the
guest
/
host
share
an
oil
price
target
of
$75-$100+.
One
key
caveat:
if
the
economic
boom
in
China
slows
significantly,
demand
for
crude
could
experience
a
temporary
pause.
Key
takeaway:
given
the
expected
oil
supply
shortfall
over
the
next
three
years,
makes
accumulating
related
shares,
advisable.
