Jerry Robinson begins the show with a quick summary of his three latest swing trades. All three stocks we traded this week gave us nice returns. Then, he is joined by his wife, and business partner, Jennifer to answer your questions. Following last week's brand new segment called the Reader Mailbag, we were inundated with reader mail. We tackle several new questions from listeners this week. Tom Cloud joins Jerry for a discussion on gold and silver prices along with some other important news of the week in this week's Precious Metals Market Update. Tom also gives his thoughts on what next week may hold for gold and silver prices. In Segment Two, Jerry is joined by Professor Laurence Kotlikoff. Kotlikoff is a renowned Professor of Economics at Boston University and is a New York Times best selling author of over a dozen books including, The Coming Generational Storm: What You Need to Know About America's Future. Kotlikoff explains the many economic challenges facing America and how Washington appears completely unable to face them directly. Disgusted with the lack of real leadership in Washington, Kotlikoff recently decided to run on a third party ticket for President of the United States at AmericansElect.org. You can view this brief video below to learn more about America's first online Presidential primary. Visit their website and learn more about the issues facing America.
