Dr.
Paul
Craig
Roberts,
former
Assistant
Secretary
of
the
Treasury
for
Economic
Policy
returns
with
perhaps
the
most
dire
news
to
date.
He
questions
the
validity
of
the
official
4.7%
employment
figure,
preferring
instead
the
Shadowstats.com
23%
unemployment
number.
The
discrepancy
arises
because
job
seekers
are
no
longer
considered
unemployed
after
only
a
few
weeks
of
inactivity.
The
Bureau
of
Labor
Statistics
(BLS)
inflates
the
monthly
figure
by
100,000-200,000
jobs
by
way
of
hedonic
measures.
The
true
inflation
rate
is
twice
the
current
level
via
the
U6
-
the
slight
of
hand
allows
unscrupulous
officials
to
maintain
unfairly
low
social
security
payments.
Billions
of
dollars
of
paper
shorts
dumped
on
the
gold
futures
market
via
the
Plunge
Protection
Team
(PPT)
aids
and
abets
the
manipulation
scheme.
Ultimately,
our
guest
anticipates
a
global
nuclear
cataclysm
as
internal
forces
foment
conflict
between
the
US
and
its
major
trading
partners.

President
and
founder,
Peter
Spina
returns
to
the
show
with
his
mining
share
analysis,
from
his
home
in
the
Czech
Republic.
Similar
to
the
PMs
sector,
Prague
has
emerged
from
the
former
communist
regime,
entering
a
new
Golden
Era.
Peter
outlines
the
unique
character
/
appeal
of
the
central
European
culture,
including
the
entrepreneurial
spirit.
Peter
outlines
the
remarkable
500%
return
on
5
of
his
gold
mining
candidates
recently
announced
at
a
Vancouver
conference.
While
virtually
every
PMs
stock
performed
spectacularly
in
2016,
Peter
Spina
emphasizes
the
importance
of
quality
in
2017.
Companies
like
Silver
Wheaton
(SWC)
and
Royal
Gold
(RGLD)
are
covered.
The
guest
/
host
concur
that
at
the
core
of
every
successful
investment
portfolio
lies
gold
/
silver
bullion.
Northern
Vertex
Mining
(NEE.v),
a
company
in
which
he
continues
to
accumulate
shares
(Figure
1.1)
is
opening
a
mine
in
Arizona.
NEE.v
continues
substantial
exploration
work
and
is
located
in
a
favorable
location
near
Las
Vegas.
The
duo
also
agree
that
the
silver
sector
represents
a
remarkable
valuation
opportunity.
