Top
money
manager,
John
Ing
recently
presented
to
China
his
forecast
for
$2,200
an
ounce.
Our
guest
is
bullish
on
gold,
in
the
LT.
Bob
Hoye
notes
that
during
every
previous
post
bubble
contraction,
the
real
price
of
gold
has
ascended,
making
the
PMs
a
solid
portfolio
asset,
today.
Although
the
Greenback
remains
relatively
strong,
eventually
the
senior
currency
will
be
overcome
by
an
inflationary
economic
maelstrom.
The
concept
of
sentient
robots
/
computers
has
lingered
for
over
100
years
-
from
Asimov,
Frank
Herbert
and
Arthur
C.
Clarke
to
Philip
K.
Dick.
The
concept
of
intelligent
machines
has
enthralled
readers
and
moviegoers
alike.
TV
shows
such
as
Person
of
Interest
as
well
as
the
UK
drama,
Humans
2.0
put
a
modern
spin
on
the
issue.
IBM's
Deep
Mind
A.I,
Alpha-Go
defeated
the
world's
Go
Grandmaster,
an
event
not
expected
for
at
least
10
years.
At
the
core
of
Deep
Mind
is
a
general
purpose
expert
system;
basically
the
program
runs
simulations.
Takeaway
point:
by
allowing
the
A.I.
to
learn
like
a
child
via
trial
and
error
the
general
purpose
A.I.
is
applicable
to
any
situation.
A.I.
appears
to
be
on
the
cusp
of
crossing
the
sentience
threshold
(note:
purely
speculative).
It
is
conceivable
that
just
such
a
new
life-form
may
already
dwell
in
the
Deep
Net,
accumulating
Bitcoins,
building
a
virtual
safe
world
for
its
digital
progeny.
Andy
Schectman
of
Miles
Franklin
Institute
($6
billion
in
sales)
outlines
why
every
investor
should
diversify
their
PMs
holdings
via
an
offshore
account.
In
1933,
President
Roosevelt
announced
an
executive
order
designed
to
confiscate
gold
that
included
at
$10,000
fine.
The
gold
/
silver
ETFs
are
a
modern
equivalent
to
the
executive
order,
indirectly
confiscating
the
capital
that
would
otherwise
be
directed
to
physical
PMs.
The
ideal
alternative
involves
PMs
ownership
outside
the
USA
via
Brinks-Canada,
a
trusted
/
respected
name
in
secure
storage.
Miles
Franklin
negotiated
a
one-of-a-kind,
fixed
rate
structure
with
100%
separate
accounts
as
an
added
layer
of
safety.
Key
point:
Miles
Franklin
holds
all
client
PMs
and
or
cash
in
a
large
Brinks
security
box,
which
makes
it
fully
insured
and
non-reportable
to
authorities.
The
next
Big
Thing,
appears
to
be
The
Internet
of
Things
(IoT),
an
emerging
technology
that
facilitates
communications
among
virtually
all
devices.
IoT
is
poised
to
eclipse
the
growth
of
mobile
phones,
computers,
laptops
and
the
internet
-
a
related
ETF
SNSR
could
capture
much
of
the
potential.

Biographies
Andy
Schectman
Miles
Franklin
Miles
Franklins'
philosophy
can
be
summed
up
in
three
words:
VALUE,
INTEGRITY
and
CREATIVITY.
Value
refers
to
our
low
overhead
and
low
mark-up
approach
to
doing
business.
Integrity
means
what
it
says:
We
do
what
we
say
and
say
what
we
do.
Our
advice
is
determined
by
individual
customer
needs
and
we
take
the
time
to
find
out
what
is
suitable
for
each
investor.
Because
of
this
approach
our
reputation
throughout
the
industry
is
the
highest
caliber.
Creativity
is
everybodys
favorite
word.
At
Miles
Franklin,
we
see
things
in
a
way
that
other
companies
do
not.
We
offer
solutions
(including
off
shore
investing)
that
go
far
beyond
the
ordinary
coin
dealer.
This
is
our
philosophy.
It's
who
we
are.
Capabilities
Every
member
of
our
staff
has
no
less
than
10
years
of
experience
in
the
precious
metals
industry.
We
are
all
students
of
the
economy.
Most
companies
in
the
precious
metals
industry
will
tell
you
what
to
buy.
We
tell
you
why
you
need
to
buy
it.
We
are
proud
to
take
the
time
to
educate
our
clients
in
economics
and
world
events,
as
well
as
in
various
products.
We
offer
all
of
the
available
types
of
bullion,
including
U.S
and
foreign
gold,
silver
and
platinum.
No
order
is
too
big
or
too
small
for
us.
Also,
talk
to
us
about
domestic
and
foreign
storage.
Reports
We
provide
a
selection
of
reports
on
the
economy,
precious
metals
and
the
Swiss
Franc.
We
also
publish
a
well
received
newsletter
8-12
times
a
year
(recent
back
issues
can
be
found
on
this
website).
Pricing
Our
pricing
is
competitive
with
anyone
in
the
industry.
We
will
not
lose
an
order
because
of
pricing.
We
are
in
business
to
make
money,
but
we
believe
in
offering
our
clients
a
price
structure
that
allows
them
to
come
out
ahead.
This
is
not
always
the
case
in
our
industry.

With
a
degree
in
geophysics
and
a
number
of
fascinating
summers
in
mining
exploration,
one
winter
in
"the
bush"
quickly
led
Bob
into
the
financial
markets.
This
included
experience
on
the
trading
desk
and
in
the
research
department
of
a
large
investment
dealer,
which
led
to
institutional
stock
and
bond
sales.
Bob's
review
of
financial
history
provided
the
forecasting
models
designed
to
anticipate
significant
trend
reversals
in
the
sometimes
alarming
volatility
typical
of
the
transition
from
rampant
speculation
in
tangible
assets
to
fabulous
speculation
in
financial
assets.
In
anticipation
of
the
latter
opportunity,
a
monthly
publication
for
financial
institutions
was
started
in
January
1982.
This
competently
covered
the
stock
market,
the
yield
curve,
credit
spreads
as
well
as
metal
and
energy
prices.
In
1998
the
Institutional
Advisors
website
was
started
as
a
forum
for
unique
and
reliable
financial
research.
