    So tired of hearing “there is no inflation.” When I look at equity market levels I don’t understand this repeated argument. Just because there’s no inflation on some oversimplified ancient metric doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.

      Yep. Inflation is rampant. Real estate. Food. Real assets. I'm 31, virtually no debt, good job. Couldn't buy a home and start a family if I cut all discretionary spending to 0. Same location as my father, making about 5k more a year then when he was my age (inflation adjusted much less) with higher education...yep, no way I can start a family. 65% of my income towards mortgage costs? Poverty. I'd be cruel to make a baby and tell my son or daughter I can't provide them with X because "it's all going to the bank".

      "I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies ... If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered." Jefferson "Gold is money, all else is credit" JP Morgan. "When a man is paid in credit and lives by credit, he is a slave" Me "Gold standard or bust" Me

    Would be nice to actually hear one of these RV experts talk about the effects of allowing central banks to more easily control down interest rate futures, FX vol, and commodity prices via trading in our most critical commodity markets i.e. COMEX / NYMEX. Surely such facts recently extended and now ongoing for years show a lot more is happening behind the scenes than any guest has mentioned to date - https://bit.ly/ComeOnInTheRiggingsFine

      Yep, with the new interface, we transitioned from the old interface where everything was locked and only subscribers or trialists could view the video to one where pages are accessible by everyone, including search engines caching data from these pages. Of course, viewing videos still requires an active account for the most part.

    Good interview..Though why is volatility low in bonds? Going really high level. We have a few dozen central bankers / individuals across 4 central banks controlling the entire yield curve in every major currency...When a market is that small (in terms of participants) with near complete agreement as to where the cost of money should be in every currency, why trade? He did hit on equity vol briefly...Within 5 years people will be amazed that VIX was ever over 10 for extended periods of time...Asset allocation is simply a matter of guessing where fewer than 50 people worldwide have already determined what asset returns will be...We will soon live in a world with universal basic income, etc. for those with no assets and pre-determined returns for every major asset class for those with assets...All determined by no more than several dozen people worldwide...Hayek would be surprised...Or maybe not
