Biden’s Last Throw of the Geopolitical Dice
Alasdair Macleod, Chen Lin and Michael Hudson return as guests this week on the radio program.

One reality American policy makers overlook is that the basis for strong nations is a strong economic footing. Believers in the Keynesian fairy tale that you can create wealth by printing money are blinded by that Keynesian big lie. So political leaders from both parties continue to think American weapons can keep securing American military and dollar hegemony.

Alasdair will explain why America is already on its back foot in the continuing cold war, why the days of dollar hegemony are limited and what that will mean for your investments. Chen will add his geopolitical perspective and as well as offer some exciting investment ideas and Michael Hudson will update us on the progress of Hannan Metals with its world class copper-silver sedimentary-hosted exploration project in Peru.

Chen Lin had been a doctoral candidate in aeronautical engineering at Princeton. However, Chen found his investment strategies were so profitable that he put his Ph.D. on the back burner to devote full time to private investing and writing a newsletter titled “What is Chen Buying? What is Chen Selling?”  Chen's track record has been phenomenal!  In one account we tracked, in which he used no leverage, he was able to grow $5,411 starting in 2002 to over $2.2 million by the end of 2012.  You can visit his website at http://chenpicks.com
