He
shares
his
grave
concerns
on
the
economies
of
South
America.
Argentineans
are
advised
to
prepare
for
runaway
inflation.
The
situation
resembles
their

nation,
Venezuela,
forecasted

top
1000%,

Our
guest
outlines
how
the
major
institutional
players
rig
the
markets.
Eventually
the
unprepared
will
wish
they
had
procured
gold
and
silver
assets
at
current
fire
sales
prices.
Chris
Martenson
suggests
every
investor
must
accumulate
at
least
10%
of

investment
portfolio.
The
huge
state
deficit

Biographies

Peak
Prosperity.com
Chris
Martenson,
PhD
(Duke),
MBA
(Cornell)
is
an
economic
researcher
and
futurist
specializing
in
energy
and
resource
depletion,
and
cofounder
of
PeakProsperity.com
(along
with
Adam
Taggart).
As
one
of
the
early
econobloggers
who
forecasted
the
housing
market
collapse
and
stock
market
correction
years
in
advance,
Chris
rose
to
prominence
with
the
launch
of
his
seminal
video
seminar:
The
Crash
Course
which
has
also
been
published
in
book
form
(Wiley,
March
2011).
It's
a
popular
and
extremely
well-regarded
distillation
of
the
interconnected
forces
in
the
Economy,
Energy
and
the
Environment
(the
"Three
Es"
as
Chris
calls
them)
that
are
shaping
the
future,
one
that
will
be
defined
by
increasing
challenges
to
growth
as
we
have
known
it.
In
addition
to
the
analysis
and
commentary
he
writes
for
his
site
PeakProsperity.com,
Chris'
insights
are
in
high
demand
by
the
media
as
well
as
academic,
civic
and
private
organizations
around
the
world,
including
institutions
such
as
the
UN,
the
UK
House
of
Commons
and
US
State
Legislatures.
Managing

Michael’s
expertise
in
the
Internet
business
stretches
back
to
1991
when
there
was
no
WWW
or
domains.
Michael
is
the
founder
of
the
Austria
Börsenbrief,
a
financial
investment
magazine,
and
was
a
private
equity
fund
manager
for
five
years.
Michael
became
involved
with
domains
in
2002
when
he
started
to
register,
buy
and
sell
valuable
domains.
With
more
than
20
years
of
experience
in
business
and
expertise
in
the
financial
markets,
Michael
is
in

of
the
strategic
orientation
and
