The Everything Bubble

I recently took part in an online seminar, along with Economist Harry Dent and Author Robert Kiyosaki, predicated on the view that Central Banks have created an everything bubble.

You can see my separate discussions with Harry Dent: Who Breaks First The Economy Or Central Banks? https://youtu.be/HQu-Im9OTNU and Robert Kiyosaki, https://youtu.be/bzlGON2L6fU on Seeking Safe Havens.

The question is, are there safe havens – and how does this all play out?

This show is a reprise of my presentation, with updated material based on the latest information. You also might want to see my show Quantitative Easing – A Dangerous Addiction? https://youtu.be/RtWCAJtB2hk

Are Bank Deposits Safer In Australia Or New Zealand?

I am joined by Robbie Barwick from The Citizens Party as we discuss the latest Deposit Bail-In issues, prompted by a New Zealand Government paper which proposes to change the current “Open Banking Resolution” Bail-In approach.

We explore the underlying drivers of this approach, and alternatives which provide a better solution.

Quantitative Easing – A Dangerous Addiction?

We discuss the House of Lords Report on the Bank of England’s Quantitative Easing Programme. They ask the critical question – just how will it be unwound? Has the Bank of England created greater inequality through the programme – and just how independent is the Bank and its relationship with HM Treasury.

Great questions which should be asked of all Central Banks, including RBA here.

The Deflation Factor: The DFA Daily 15th July 2021

The latest edition of our finance and property news digest with a distinctively Australian flavour.

In today’s show we explain why deflation not inflation is still highly likely – and caused by the RBA, why Australian Home prices could stagnate for a decade, how the ATO is clawing back scammed support payments and the low-down on rental relief as NSW wrestles with the virus. And Why The FED might inflate home prices in the USA just like the Central banks in Australia and New Zealand have done.
