  • Always interesting

    Brilliant podcast, I listen to a variety of economic, financial, philosophical and money centred podcasts and this is one of the better ones. Not for Linear thinkers.

  • Excellent podcast

    Tim and Paul have some excellent interview guests and have a healthy scepticism for governments and central banks. They approach investment matters from a value point of view and I think this is a healthy counterbalance to other podcasts who are talking up the latest ‘follow the herd’ ideas.

  • Always enjoy a bit of Zak's doom porn, although speaking as a Shareprophets subscriber, I would not invest in any listed company he is either running or promoting. Regarding Gold, I'd bet on Mucker vs Zak any day of the week:

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#245 Dave Hunter: Melt-Up Master predicts Market Disaster
Q: What do you think about SpaceX and AI as part of the longer-term investment landscape?
While AI and high-growth tech offer potential upside, they are not core drivers of my macro thesis; I emphasize alignment with real assets and inflation/deflation dynamics as more durable forces shaping markets.
#245 Dave Hunter: Melt-Up Master predicts Market Disaster
Q: How do you view the role of central banks in the next cycle and what should investors consider?
Central banks will likely expand liquidity to prevent a hard bust, which in turn supports a prolonged period of asset inflation, but this will eventually collide with debt dynamics, requiring investors to focus on real assets and diversification.
#245 Dave Hunter: Melt-Up Master predicts Market Disaster
Q: What did you see in the silver move that signaled a coming reversal, and how did your targets evolve?
I warned that the parabolic rise would require a meaningful correction, but I extended my targets in late January and again in May, explaining that I move targets based on setup, sentiment, and macro context rather than pure momentum.
#238 Attila Rebak - Investing success with Austrian School Economics
Q: What is Attila's view on central banks and the potential future of money?
Central banks are seen as artificial devices that distort savings and investment; a gold standard or similar anchoring mechanism could be a logical path forward, while some participants debate the role of crypto as a new monetary tool.
#238 Attila Rebak - Investing success with Austrian School Economics
Q: Why does Attila prefer hard assets like gold and silver?
He views them as a distinct form of money that can appreciate across currencies and serve as a hedge when fiat money decays, especially given the risk of monetary policy causing cycles.
