Rose-Colored Glasses or Reality?
Lyn Alden, Michael Oliver and Peter Ball return as guests on this week’s radio program.

Legendary stock guru Richard Russell used to say that stockbrokers became wealthy because they didn’t buy their own B.S.  Washington and Wall Street are known for spinning tall tales of Nirvana. Not surprisingly, the C.B.O now says there will be a V-shaped recovery with minimal further stimulus and that federal debt as a percentage of GDP will quickly level off and remain leveled through the 2020's. How realistic is that?

We will ask both Lyn Alden and Michael Oliver, neither of which ever don rose-colored glasses, about our chances for exiting the current perfect economic and geopolitical storm to enjoy economic Nirvana. Peter Ball will join us to provide an update on the latest exploration developments for NV Gold in Nevada.
