• From Gold to Bitcoin: Navigating Inflation and the Future of Assets with Brien Lundin
    Sep 24 2024

    Tangible assets are important to consider in an inflationary environment because they tend to retain or increase in value, providing a stable hedge against the declining purchasing power of currency. For these reasons, gold is considered a long-term asset class. Brien Lundin (@brien_lundin), Editor of the Gold Newsletter and CEO of New Orleans Investment Conference, discusses the political perspectives surrounding gold ownership. He returns to the Futures Edge with Jim Iuorio and Bob Iaccino to discuss the role of central banks in gold accumulation, concerns about government seizure of gold, and the value of rare coins. The discussion also touches on the challenges facing the diamond market due to lab-grown alternatives, the gold-silver ratio, and the future of Bitcoin in relation to gold.

    Aug 10 2024

    With so much volatility in the stock market, technical analysis is essential in understanding market movements and making informed decisions. Mike Arnold of Path Trading Partners returns for this monthly technical analysis segment on the Futures Edge show to discuss the idea of an emergency rate cut and the possibility of a recession. He looks into the technical analysis of the S&P, NASDAQ, and Russell indices, discussing critical support and resistance levels and potential patterns. They cover topics such as the rotation trade between the Nasdaq and the Russell, the outlook for gold, and the chart analysis of Pfizer. Jim and Bob touch on the possibility of government intervention to prop up the market before the election. They also touch on the role of government in healthcare and the importance of independent journalism.

    Takeaways

    • Sell-offs in the market can be beneficial in weeding out weak companies and creating opportunities for stronger ones.

    • Government intervention to prop up the market before the election is a possibility.
