Preparing for the Petrodollar’s Demise
Lyn Alden, Michael Oliverand Corwin Coe return as guest on this week’s program.

After President Nixon closed the gold window in 1971, the U.S. dollar retained its value despite massive expenditures undertaken to expand its empire. The dollar retained its value through diplomatic arrangements with Saudi Arabia to force nations around the world to pay for oil imports using U.S. dollars. To enforce the dollar system, the U.S. military was used in countries like Iraq and Libya. Seemingly, the U.S. could issue an infinite amount of debt used to manufacture dollars.

Lyn will explain why the petrodollar's days are limited, what that will mean for Americans in general, and how investors should prepare to profit from this knowledge before the dollar's imminent decline. Michael will share his thoughts on the dollar and other key markets at this moment in time and Corwin will update us on the progress of Sitka’s three gold exploration plays in Canada and the U.S.

J. Michael Oliver entered the financial services industry in 1975 on the Futures side, joining E.F. Hutton’s International Commodity Division, NYC. He studied under David Johnson, head of Hutton’s Commodity Division and Chairman of the COMEX.

In the 1980’s Oliver began to develop his own momentum-based method of technical analysis. In 1987 Oliver, along with his futures client accounts (Oliver had trading POA) technically anticipated and captured the Crash. Oliver began to realize that his emergent momentum-structural-based tools should be further developed into a full analytic methodology.

In 1992 he was asked by the Financial VP and head of Wachovia Bank’s Trust Department to provide soft dollar research to Wachovia. Within a year Oliver shifted from brokerage to full-time technical research. MSA has provided its proprietary technical research services to financial and asset management clients continually since 1992. Oliver is the author of The New Libertarianism: Anarcho-Capitalism.
