EXTENDED PODCAST VERSION: The NEXT Banking Crisis! Could 2008 Happen Again?

Bruce — Sat, 11 Feb 2012 00:44:06 +0000

The crux of Failure in 2008 was the BANKS!

Yes, tentacles went far and wide, but it was the leveraging of massive debt into the overinflated US real estate market that was at the crux of it. In this show we feature a groundbreaking series from Bill Moyers about why people like David Stockman, former Budget Director for the Reagan administration, and N.Y. Times Journalist Gretchen Morgenson, say not only that it can happen again, it WILL happen again!

THIS SHOW GREATLY EXPANDS on our shortened broadcast version, and includes a lot more interview clips from the Bill Moyers episodes, and some corroborating data from Harry Dent.

NOTE: The opening 12 minutes is about who WE are at STW. If you already know that, skip to about 12:00 into the show.

Baby Boomers barely have a decade left to recover from the current economic and financial crisis. So when WILL things turn around?

This episode features excerpted interviews with Harry S. Dent regarding his book The Great Crash Ahead, and covers the hurdles to overcome, (European Debt, China Bubble, American Debt), and what the government could most effectively do right now to get America back on a strong economic footing.

EXTENDED PODCAST VERSION: Why Europe Can’t Get Better Until it Gets Worse!

Bruce — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 03:52:57 +0000

First in a special “podcast only” format, STW Radio, usually broadcast as a 1-hour show on AM radio with barely enough time to cover issues in detail, now gets to stretch out and get serious about informing America regarding saving for retirement in the Desperate Decade ahead.

This show highlights the seeds of the Eurodebt and why Europe only has 1 of the 3 key tools most other sovereign countries have to fix their economic crisis.

2012 and The Desperate Decade Ahead

Bruce — Mon, 02 Jan 2012 20:38:39 +0000

What can we expect going into the new year? What is the story of the coming decade? And how can retiring Baby Boomers find some peace of mind in retirement in a desperate decade ahead.

Baby Boomer Economic Crisis – It IS & WILL BE a Different World

Bruce — Fri, 02 Dec 2011 20:43:48 +0000

Why is my portfolio crashing? Why has this decade been so darn rough to grow any kind retirement fund at all?

Well, there’s the Greek Crisis. Sure, okay. I guess so. It’s Greece’s fault.

But before that there was the Debt Cieling Crisis. Oh there ya go! It’s the Democrats’ fault. No, uh – it’s the Republicans’ fault.

And before that it was the banks’ fault for the Housing & Credit Bubble. And before that it was Silicon Valley’s fault for the Dot.Com Bubble.

And tomorrow it will be the Federal Reserve Bank’s fault for printing money, or China’s fault for having the worlds biggest real estate bubble.

All just random occurences in our life and times with no rhyme or reason except that we are cursed as a generation! Oh for the 80s and 90s. Will we ever see their kind again?

Wall Street Journal Get’s it Wrong!

Bruce — Sun, 10 Apr 2011 06:15:00 +0000

WSJ reports that seniors’ nest eggs across the country are being shattered by low interest rates the Fed Reserve has put in place since the financial crisis. They talk about the crisis on .24% (the 24/100ths!) at the bank but they totally fail to mention the 7-8% guarantees in the pension markets.

These folks are confusing short-term vehicles with long-term purposes and that’s why they are gong under! Plus, Bruce & Walt really clown it up to make a point.

In this show, Bruce Weide and Kirk Cox explore whether the Baby Boom generation will actually ever enjoy a period of life where one’s assets can be a sole source of income, or whether working until our 70′s or 80′s is more the lot of the Booomers.

Several major challenges are identified and address.
