Sam Wilkin: Wealth Secrets of the One Percent

Wealth Secrets of the One Percent sounds like one of the self-help books what will show you how to unleash your inner potential. Actually, it tells the story of some of history's richest - from Crassus of Rome to John D Rockefeller to Bill Gates - and shows how they earned their vast fortunes by, simply, eliminating competition so they enjoyed vast monopolies.

Its author is economist Sam Wilkin and he joins me on today's programme.

GOLD and Bitcoins - will prices touch (or overlap) again soon?

BTX at 98% today... looks like the 4-6 months cycle for Gold is rolling over

 

Gold : $1277.5 ... GLD : 2-yr : 10d

gold_zpsqglp9eso.png

 

Bitcoins : $1253 (98.1% of Gold)

BTC-5mo_zpszl3tby90.png

 

I think both will drop, before heading higher.

The fundamental reason may be: Rising interest rates / Falling bond prices

 

TMF at $19.86 "and falling" as LT rates rise

The rise in TMF (3x Bull-on-Bonds) may be over ... 2yr : 10d-chart :

TMF-2yr_zpsyrq777tu.gif

 

Rising interest rates, may turnaround the falling dollar, and "put the Kabash" on the rise in Gold and Bitcoins

These prices move together : TMF, GDX, UGLD, SLV : Bonds, Gold stocks, Gold, and Silver.

And they have been moving in a shared 4-6 months cycle:

Bank FX Spreads - HK (from mid-day today)

MACE / "Paper Gold" has long been trading at a discount to Actual Gold. Here we see:
HSBC : 1180.4 - 1203.0 : -22.6 = -1.88%
HangS: 1181.3 - 1203.0 : -21.7 = -1.80%

Why deal with HSBC, and lose 0.5 - 1.0% of my money?

I have moved money from HSBC to Hang Seng Bank, and will exchange to HKD at some later stage.

 

If you move money in cash currency, you can only withdraw GBP2000/EUR2000 daily,

and deposit GBP1500/EUR1500 daily into Hang Seng Bank.

DEEP STATE : I found this interview to be very revealing

 

Everyone should know by now (or soon) that Mark Gilbert is talking about the Reality of the control structure in the USA and Globally

 

"The United States is an Empire, and there is Huge money" (to be gained by controlling it)

 

Coast To Coast AM - April 23, 2017 The Deep State & More

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5kigPzJAcGw

 

Profile of Presidents

=====

JFK : Fought the Deep state and was killed to make way for LBJ, whom the Deep state worked with
Nixon : As President, he started to become independent, and tried to reform the CIA. Watergate was a coup
Ford : Secret to him becoming President was his involvement in the JFK coverup. Half-hearted attempts to replace him
Carter : An honest guy, fighting corruption, but with backing of the Rockefellers; he had a lot of pushback
Reagan : A puppet of GHWB and the deep state; so old, he did not have the level of focus to check them
Bush : Pivotal character; a senior planner of JFK's assassination; behind watergate, drug trafficking; 9/11?
Clinton : Brilliant & charismatic, but protected drug transhipment in AK, to gain money & power

Obama : A tool of the Deep State, with some powerful forces helping him. Sexually compromised?
Trump : An outsider who may have upset the plans of some parts of the Deep state, operates w/ Deep state's themes

America After the Coup: Leader of the Decaying World

Published on Oct 9, 2014

American After the Coup d'état / Part One: The Leader of the Decaying World -
The soul of America has been lost in a "silent coup d'état." The key virtues of: a Free Economy, competitive markets, a Free press, and the moral basis for society are no longer respected. The country's DECAY began with the assassination of JFK - Lee Oswald did not do it. The real crime was covered up by the FBI and LBJ. The worst thing was, getting away with the horrific crime, made BOLD the perpetrators of this crime, and they have pushed America further and further from the vision of the Free Country, envisioned by the Founders.

Tucker to advocate: Do illegals have a right to be here?

Published on Apr 25, 2017

California judge on blocks President Trump's executive order seeking to withhold federal funds from sanctuary cities. Tucker asks one sanctuary advocate whether illegals have a constitutional right to be here #Tucker

 

Comment:

"What we stand for..." Some Leftist judge ignores the Constitution and tells us what HE thinks that should be. Time to sweep these traitors away! Legally, of course. If the Law allows, Federal troops can be sent in and put an end to this illegality. If a few judges get locked up, for breaking the law, so be it.

Silver is rolling over, headed towards $16 or less*, within 2-3 months (if the cycle works)

 

*I think SLV could bottom just below $15 in about 6-8 weeks

 

SLV / Silver etf - trades at about XX% of Silver

Major revelations, concerning the control structure

 

Top 5 Points - a nice (short) summary

 

8,500 People control the world... and "you need a mind like a freezer"

 

5 things an elite banking Dutch Whistleblower tells us #NWO

 

3 : The Terrorists and intelligence agencies are working together to control world events

 

2 : The Luciferians at the top, really do believe in Lucifer as a deity

 

1 : The breaking point for him was when he was asked to participate in Abuse of Children

 

Then, he could no longer perform his job effectively, and he started to refuse assignments.

These acts "put everyone in their pocket.. they are susceptible to blackmail."

First direct London-China train completes 7,500 mile route...

 

BEIJING (AFP) -

The first freight train to link China directly to the UK arrived in the eastern Chinese city of Yiwu Saturday after covering over 12,000-kilometres (7,500 miles), making it the second-longest route in the world.

The journey is the latest effort in China's drive to strengthen trade links with western Europe along a modern-day "Silk Road" route.

The world's top trading nation launched the "One Belt, One Road" strategy in 2013, and has since poured millions into constructing vast infrastructure links.

The train -- loaded with whisky, baby milk, pharmaceuticals and machinery -- departed London on April 10 and passed through France, Belgium, Germany, Poland, Belarus, Russia and Kazakhstan during its 20-day trip before arriving in Yiwu in eastern Zhejiang province, a major wholesale centre for small consumer goods.

The new route is longer than Russia's famous Trans-Siberian railway, but about 1000 kilometres shorter than the record-holding China-Madrid link, which opened in 2014.

London is the 15th city to be linked to a new freight network offered by the state-run China Railway Corporation, which says its services are cheaper than air transport and quicker than shipping.

The journey should be 30 days faster than moving the goods by ship...

SRX Property Index : a premature low? maybe not

- a second index shows a bounce after almost 4 years drifting lower
SG-property_zpsh9dyx3qi.png

 

> update : https://www.srx.com.sg/price-index

 

The SRX index got down to the mid-point in the channel, and is now bouncing.

The 18 year cycle is generally 14 years up, followed by 3-5 years down, so it is not impossible to see a bottom in 2017, after 4 years of decline.

But I reckon this cycle may take longer than 4 years, as the last one did. Especially since the up phase was terminated at 11-12 years by the government imposing taxes.

18 years from the last low (2003-4) might mean a low as late as 2020-22.

 

Meantime,

RENTS in Singapore are drifting lower: https://www.srx.com.sg/research/35542/non-landed-private-rents-decrease-by-10-hdb-rents-decrease-by-05-in-march-2017

The Rent index dropped from 113.1 (3/2016) to 108.7 (3/2017-flash est.) - that's 3.9% lower in 13 mos.

 

If we are seeing a major low now, then I would expect CapitaLand's stock continue to rally from here - Let's see if that happens.

BTW CC now sports a yield of 2.66%, and that's better than the net yield on most SG properties

CapitaLand is a SG stock to watch.

Length of downturns - this was first posted on the Singapore thread

Haha. Yeah:

"The best time to buy a property is always 5 years ago"

 

Anyone who says something like that is unaware of cycles - which are real and observable - just look at prices over a long enough period.

 

Idiot estate agents will show you a graph going back 10-15 years, showing prices rising over the whole period, and think that this makes a case that prices will go on rising. When I see that, I have a model in my mind: "14 years up, 4 years down... the last 2-3 years of the up-phase are the most dangerous."

 

So if I see 10-12 years of rising market - worse yet: 14 years! - I will be very wary, and want to wait for the drop. That is my attitude towards Hong Kong and Manila right now. I would rather buy in a place like Singapore, after a 3-4 year drop. Even in Singapore, I am somewhat cautious, for reasons that I have described above.

 

"The best time to buy a property is always 5 years ago"

- was definitely not true in Detroit, where in 4-5 years, nearly a decade of gains were wiped out

 

slide05-624x468.jpg

And some houses went down to $100-$1000 in value.

Instead:

"The housing price index in Michigan hit its all time low in 2011. The housing index in Michigan is currently at 139.66, 40 percent higher than its value in 1991. This current index is approximately the same as that from 1997."

> source: http://www.drawingdetroit.com/michigans-housing-price-index-compared/

 

The US House price drop was widespread, and even San Francisco saw a drop of 72 months (= 6 years)

peak-prices-san-francisco-detroit-2.jpg

- so we cannot expect that the entire drop will always be confined to 3-5 years

=

Once the lows were in place, prices improved dramatically, even in Detroit

But they are still below the price levels of 10 years earlier
