Kerry Lutz and Paul Otter discussed the Supreme Court's decision to strike down the current administration's plan to forgive student loan debt. They highlighted the potential impact on borrowers and the economy, including missed payments, higher credit card debt, and a decrease in credit scores. The need for Congress to revisit the student loan scheme and hold universities accountable for their role in creating the problem was also discussed. Both Kerry and Paul agreed that canceling the debt is not the solution and that Congress needs to find a way to solve the problem without causing pain elsewhere. They emphasized the importance of borrowers being proactive and having a plan in place to deal with their student loan debt.

Blow-out jobs report means interest rates have to rise. 10-year Treasury broke 4% this morning.    In the past two bubbles interest rates rose along with stocks until the markets broke. We're repeating that pattern.    The Big Toy indicator is flashing: RV and Rolex sales down.  Commodities getting whacked. Are we in a bear market?  France is burning. A sign of the future?  Quality of life in our major cities is rapidly declining The Supreme Court is issuing some big rulings.

Kerry Lutz and Dave Shutler discussed the state of student loans and the importance of avoiding them. They recommended picking a major first and then a school to avoid taking on too much debt.

Kerry Lutz and Anthony Saccaro discussed various topics related to the economy, including consumer confidence, the housing market, inflation, and investment strategies.

Finally, they discussed Anthony's podcast and marketing strategies, including the importance of analytics and tracking open rates and click-through rates for email blasts.   Find Anthony here - Anthony Saccaro Fi

The U.S. economy showed much stronger-than-expected growth in the first quarter than previously thought. GDP increased at a 2% annualized pace for the January-through-March period, up from the previous estimate of 1.3%. The upward revision helps undercut widespread expectations that the U.S. is heading toward a recession but I am not so sure that is realistic if the Fed’s continue pushing rates higher. We all know inflation has finally hit 4% according to the CPI but consumer spending, as gauged by personal consumption expenditures, rose 4.2%, the highest quarterly pace since the second quarter of 2021 and Core PCE prices rose 4.9% which will only fuel the Fed’s resolve to continue pushing rates higher to continue contracting the economy. Interestingly we see that exports rose 7.8% after falling 3.7% in the fourth quarter of 2022 so demand seems to be healthy. Though I think many investors are wanting to be bullish, now is not the time to embrace the market with both hands.  Remember that as we begin entering

Markets have been headed sideways for a while now. During Avi's last session on the show, he was of the belief that no market crash was coming in the near future.

The Fed "paused" but didn't stop? What does that mean? Are we there yet? Stocks tanked on Friday. Europe might be a big story in 2H. Recession, spiking interest rates, German deindustrialization. China meltdown continues, where will it end? San Francisco is failing, the laboratory of democracy. Violence over the weekend across the country was stupefying. Trump indictment backfires, majority of country see it as politically motivated.  The Biden recordings might be a huge deal. Or they might be buried by the MSM. The Rogan/Kennedy/Hotez thing is hilarious.  John Rubino and Kerry Lutz discussed a range of topics, including the Fed's decision to pause interest rate hikes, Europe's financial crisis, China's real estate bubble, San Francisco's real estate market, endless war, Rfk Junior's popularity, and conspiracy theories surrounding JFK's assassination. They also shared personal updates and discussed future plans. John argued that the Fed's decision to pause interest rate hikes is not necessarily good news, an

Gerald Celente and Kerry Lutz discussed various topics, including the dangers of the military industrial complex, the negative consequences of US interventions in other countries, the state of the economy and real estate trends, and the JFK assassination. They criticized politicians on both sides for supporting war and sending money to Ukraine while the country's infrastructure is falling apart. Celente predicted that the equity markets would crash due to the building bust rate and high vacancy rates in office buildings, which would affect various financial institutions. They also discussed the need for diplomacy over military interventions and the lack of major peace movements in the country.

Noted cycle analyst Eric Hadik joined us for a market overview. He believes the dollar will stay close to its current range for a protracted period of time. Interest rates have peaked and are heading lower, perhaps in anticipation of the coming election cycle.  What affect this will have on housing is yet to be determined. Rates look like they are staying higher than they were during the housing bull market.  Gold should have a pullback soon and then proceed higher. Depending upon the extent of the pullback, they could go substantially higher.  Oil should see higher prices coming after its current consolidation.  Bitcoin could see a major increase come July, if it manages to stay above the $25,000 range that it's currently occupying.  A very interested and detailed look into the markets.  Visit Eric at: insiidetracktrading.comThis show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/3244966/advertisement

Federal Reserve – to hike or not to hike Pause is expected – further notes after the release of the interest rate move Bullish stocks, low bond yields and recovering housing market suggest interest rates aren’t that restrictive The Fed’s mission has been to get interest rates high enough to slash inflation from its current 4% to 5% range to 2%, even if that means pushing the economy into recession and unemployment higher. If the Fed had succeeded, you probably wouldn’t be seeing these things: stocks entering a new bull market, a rebounding housing market or long-term Treasury yields well below the inflation rate. Typically, when the Fed raises short-term rates, stock prices fall, and long-term bond yields and the dollar rise. That’s what happened for the first six months of Fed tightening in more or less textbook fashion. But since October, all have changed direction. The S&P 500 is up 22% since last fall’s low. This reflects rising earnings forecasts and excitement about artificial intelligence Behind th

During the meeting, Kerry Lutz and Aaron Clary discussed the benefits of getting off the societal support and validation grid by building your own home. They argued that this approach could provide economic opportunities and valuable skills, and could be a solution to the housing crisis. They also discussed the potential mental benefits of opting-out of society and rediscovering oneself, but acknowledged that not everyone will participate in this trend. Aaron suggested that young people should consider building their own homes instead of pursuing higher education, and mentioned the hurdles that come with this unconventional approach, such as the cost of land and the need for skills in carpentry and home repairs. Kerry shared a personal anecdote about fixing a toilet and encouraged listeners to take on household repairs themselves or find a handyman to save money. They also discussed the potential for creative financing, such as rent-to-own, and the availability of resources like YouTube for self-instructi
