Thursday Conversations

Due to our semi-monthly Beer with TF happy hour, I was unable to bring you some fresh Jackass for your holiday weekend. We fix that issue today with an hour if full-on Jackass that is sure to please his most ardent supporters.

Of course, some of you are not big fans of these podcasts...

So many of these "Thursday Conversations" are ending up on Wednesday that maybe we should change the title? Maybe. Regardless of the date, though, you're going to want listen to this great podcast with our old friend, Larry Lepard.

Larry is a sound money advocate and fund manager. He's...

I know, I know. It's not Thursday. It's only Wednesday. But Jim and I finally had time to record a podcast today and why would I sit on the audio until tomorrow?

So, this is fun. We haven't caught up with our old pal, Jim Willie, since Easter weekend....about 100 days ago. Much has...

Our friend, Steph, stops by today to share her thoughts on the current macro environment, which appears to be rapidly deteriorating. If that's the case, the implications for monetary policy are myriad and Steph provides a full analysis. You should be sure to listen.

As always, these...

As you know, I'm currently traveling to a special event with old friends that will be held over the weekend. Therefore, there won't be time today to record your usual Friday wrap-up. With that in mind, I called up DenverDave on Thursday and got his thoughts on the current state of the precious...

I had the pleasure of meeting Lobo Tiggre via a roundtable discussion in late 2023. He immediately struck me as an intelligent and objective analyst and I thought to myself that I should have him in for a Thursday Conversation sometime soon. Well, it's May but I finally got around to getting it...

Our old friend Alasdair Macleod stops by today to share his thoughts on the gold price and why it has continued higher after breaking out in late February. It seems everyone is searching for answers these days and it was great to hear what Alasdair believes is behind the move.

Again,...

Because of "Coffee with TF" last Friday, we didn't record our usual holiday weekend Jackass. But don't dismay. The Jackass graciously pushed back a few days and he stopped by on Tuesday to record this very insightful podcast.

We tried to stay focused upon gold, silver and the eventual...

Jim Kunstler is someone I've admired from afar for several years so it was a great thrill when I was able to first connect with him in 2023. Jim returns today to provide his unique perspective on current events and I strongly urge you to carve out some time to listen to this podcast.

I've been a big fan of Dolly Varden Silver for quite some time. If you check my holdings in the "member only" forum section, you'll see that I'm a shareholder, too. As such, it was great fun to speak with Shawn again so that we could get some updates on the progress his company is making as...

Our old friend, Professor Dave Collum, stops by today for an extensive discussion of the year ahead. This would normally have been posted as a "Thursday Conversation" but you may need extra time to be able to listen and digest the entire thing.

As you know, I'm out today so this post...

Chris Martenson has been a friend for over a decade. Over the years, he has helped us with everything from financial guidance to warnings about Covid. He's back today to give us the latest on the fading pandemic and the things that concern him most as 2023 begins to blend into 2024.

Longtime friend and Turdite Tom Luongo stops by today to provide a mid-year update. In our most recent discussion, Tom suggested that The Fed was going to keep rates higher for longer and, thus far, he has been absolutely correct. So where do things head from here? Come on in and have a listen...

Here's your Thursday conversation...recorded on Tuesday and posted on Wednesday.

Our old friend, Mickey Fulp, has been a terrific and independent voice in the mining sector for years. Like all of us, though, he has grown frustrated and a little disillusioned at the junior resource...

Jason Burack has been investigating and following The Fed's financial games for over a decade. So, when he reached out last week and offered to share his expertise on the current situation, I was quick to set up this podcast.

First of all, if you're not familiar with Jason, now is the...

Our old pal, Denver Dave, stops by and his timing is perfect. With all that's going on in the banking sector, I can think of no one better to have as a guest today.

If you're somehow unfamiliar with Dave, you can find more about his background, experience and newsletters by visiting...

John Titus has been a friend of the site for quite a while but we've not had an opportunity to visit with him for a couple of years. We fix that issue today and what great timing! With all of the current banking "stress", I can't think of a better guest for this week's Thursday Conversation....
