Pathological Capitalism – American Style
Lyn Alden, Michael Oliver and Quinton Hennigh return on this week’s program.

America is supposed to be the leader of the capitalist world. But Lyn’s January 2022 Newsletter titled “The Capital Sponge” provides some hints as to why American capitalism has moved far away from true capitalism to a model more akin to fascism. Due to the growing political influence of America’s military industrial complex, the American economy has evolved more into a fascist economic model that no longer allows capital to freely flow to its most efficient use but flows instead into the hands of large corporations that form the military industrial complex and away from the middle class.

Lyn will talk about the flows of capital into U.S. financial markets and how you might adjust your investments to profit from an inevitable flow out of the U.S.  Michael will present his thoughts about various markets about to break through their technical floors and others that are threatening to burst through their technical ceilings. Quinton will update us on the restart of exploration work on Irving Resources’ high-silica, high-grade epithermal gold and silver projects in Japan.
Lyn Alden’s background lies in the intersection of engineering and finance.

Ms. Alden has a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering and a master’s degree in engineering management, with a focus on engineering economics and financial modeling. She oversees the finances and day-to-day operations of an engineering facility and has been performing investment research for over fifteen years in various public and private capacities. Her work has been editorially featured or cited on Forbes, Business Insider, Marketwatch, Time’s Money Magazine, The Daily Telegraph, The Street, CNBC, US News and World Report, Kiplinger, Huffington Post, and elsewhere. She is also a regular contributor to Seeking Alpha, FEDweek, and Elliot Wave Trader.

Her website (www.lynalden.com) provides investment research and strategy, covering stocks, options, precious metals, international equities, and alternative investments, with a specialization in asset allocation.
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.
