Interesting that the guest was talking about the 2024 election. I’ve thought about it and I think the 2024 President will be Gov. DeSantis of Florida. When it comes time for the RNC Convention the last two candidates standing will be Trump and DeSantis. The Republican establishment will lean towards DeSantis, this is what I believe what will happen. DeSantis will garner much of the latino vote out West because his last name may confuse a lot of voters out West and Gov. Newsome is facing a recall. Gov. Cuomo of NY is already in the process of stepping down. DeSantis’ rhetoric seems just like Trumps, he is nearly a clone. He’s talking tough and saying the right things of which may resonate with a lot of Republican voters.
For the 2021 Super Bowl I think it will be a rematch of Tampa Bay and KC. Or a combination of either team playing in the Super Bowl. With Drew Brees retiring Brady should wrap up the NFC South no problem.
I’d like to see William Ziemba come back and talk about the stock market with topics such as monetary inflation in the current economy, a stock market crash in the foreseeable future, Basel III as it pertains to the gold market and the U.S., and the future of cryptocurrency.
Another question would be, Why are bullion dealers charging so much for gold & silver above spot prices? Are they being greedy and taking advantage of customers because there is so much instability in the economy on a macro level?
He lost a lot of credibility with his idiotic and asinine presidential election analysis with his shorting. Totally wrong and ridiculous.
