Today Jason talks about the zeitgeist of our time and living in a BAILOUT culture in our society, with all the quantitative easing during the COVID era and the current banking collapse debacle.

During turbulent economic times, people can become their own worst enemy. The uncertainty of the stock market creates massive insecurity about our investment portfolios.

Prudent investing is a prerequisite to The American Dream of financial freedom.
Alf is Italian but is coming today from the Netherlands. He and Jason talk about some of the factors that contributed to the collapse of the Silicon Valley Bank, the largest bank failure since the 2008 financial crisis. They discuss the moral hazard involved, mismanaged portfolios and the lack of proper risk management- factors that culminated on the banks demise, making investors question whether this will spark a broader banking meltdown.
Listen in as Jason explains the debacle that is the Silicon Valley Bank collapse, the ripple effects it’s having in the banking community, the poison pill the FED has placed in the housing market and how it has painted itself in a corner. He also talks about what the government can do, how you can use his patented Inflation Induced Debt Destruction strategy to come out on top in these uncertain times and how you can protect your assets.
