Steven Yates, former deputy security advisor to Vice President Cheney, joins the podcast this episode to weigh in on the North Korean negotiations slated for next week.

Porter and Buck welcome two of the smartest traders on the planet, True Wealth editor Dr. Steve Sjuggerud, and Jason Goepfert of SentimenTrader.com. Porter's the Bear and Steve's the Bull when it comes to the direction of stocks, but what's the market really trying to tell us?  Jason shows you how sentiment can be massively valuable for contrarians who buy hated investments, and Porter asks what kind of opportunities he sees today.

Buck and Porter discuss the overreaching power of the Department of Justice in the current Paul Manafort investigation, how the State of California is making another epic economic blunder mandating solar energy for new homes, and why the recent move in oil over $70 has nothing at all to do with Iran.

Porter and Buck welcome Greg Diamond, senior analyst of Ten Stock Trader and co- host of The Investors Marketcast. Greg explains why we’re at a big inflection point in the stock markets and how Ten Stock Trader just posted a 25% gain in less than 24 hours. Porter asks Greg to reveal the one trend he sees in the markets right now that can help you make money.

Steve Sjuggerud joins Buck this week to break down the mixed messages you've been seeing on China's economy, proposed US trade tariffs, and why "Trump's China" is based on an outdated perception and vastly different from reality in Beijing.

Steve tells you the easiest way for foreign investors to get exposure to local Chinese stock markets.

Porter dispels Wall Street rumors that Buffett will come to the rescue of General Electric (GE) and tells you about the time he sat next to former CEO Jack Welch at a New York City Broadway play. Nobody knew what kind of financial engineering Jack was up to in the 1990s, possibly even Welch himself. Did the GE slogan "Imagination at Work" apply to their accounting, too?

Buck and Porter welcome Dr. David “Doc” Eifrig to discuss his market forecast for the next six to nine months: a mini-boom as people receive and spend their last checks from Trump and Congress. Doc also tells you the one thing you need to watch for that could start a long overdue default cycle in bonds, what his biggest fear is for investors today, and why he’s getting more interested in gold with each passing moment of a 9-year old bull market that’s on its last breath of debt-laden air.

Buck and Porter welcome Erez Kalir, CEO and co-founder of Stansberry Asset Management. Porter and Erez discuss four specific "mile markers" to watch for that will signal the end of the current bull run in stocks.

Richard reveals the one thing you can do today to dramatically improve your investment results, without changing any of the stocks you own.

Porter and Buck welcome business leader and chairman of Forbes Media, Steve Forbes. They discuss why some Americans have lost the passion for free markets, what's happening on college campuses, and the enormous gap between productivity and stagnant wages. Steve demystifies the real relationship between gold and fiat paper currencies, how interest rate manipulation distorts financial markets, and the one thing that could finally trigger mass adoption of Bitcoin and other crypto-assets.

Porter talks about the VIX falling out of bed while he was down in Nicaragua last week, and the reactions of Alliance members who were along for the trip at Rancho Santana. Buck prompts Porter on a wild ride covering the moral bankruptcy of fiat money, how US monetary and elected officials have truly "jumped ship" on fiscal responsibility, where interest rates go from here, and the borrow culture of the new America that is making it impossible for millennials to save and build wealth.

Porter reveals why no major media outlet will cover his best-selling book, American Jubilee, which has sold over 50,000 copies in the last few months. Is the dirty math at General Electric about to get a lot worse? Porter has new information about dubious accounting practices used at GE that could potentially put the conglomerate in the same league as Enron. He offers a solution for corporate America that would immediately stop the crazy debt madness and financial shenanigans found at some major public companies.

Porter tells you about what really happened at General Electric (GE) under the reign of Jack Welch and his successors. It's the story of an unholy partnership between big government and big media. A tragedy of paper money, financial speculation and excessive greed. Porter explains what GE has been doing since the mid-90s, and it has nothing to do with lightbulbs, locomotives, or power plants. GE has been involved in a gigantic financial gamble for decades…right under the nose of shareholders. The SEC is now investigating the company's accounting, and Porter explains how GE could easily become the next Enron or Lehman.
