Mike on the OECD’s frightening economic forecast for Canada. Big Picture Trading’s Patrick Ceresna on what the heck’s happened to gold. Plus what’s Elon Musk paying in taxes. And where’s all the pandemic money gone? Hint – no one knows.

The gloves are off on China. Award winning journalist and author Terry Glavin joins Mike to talk about Canada feeble response to date, a truly disturbing quote of the week, plus Ozzie on the implications of the Evergrande and Kaisa defaults. On the positive side Nick Otton helps Mike explore the benefits of preferred share yield, a great Goofy and much more.

Mike laments that if you’re on the side of free speech – guess what? You’re losing. The Fed’s thrown in the towel on “transitory” inflation promising higher rates, The MacroTourist himself, Kevin Muir tells you what to do. Plus Canada gets a report card on climate change from the Commissioner of the Environment – turns out virtue signalling’s not enough.

Like or not politics infects everything financial. Paul Beatty’s BT Global is up 100% in the last 18 months, he shares the name of a stock that’s not receiving any attention despite offering the best value on the market. A don’t miss quote of the week unless you’re an NGO or university professor – then miss it. Plus a goofy courtesy of President Biden.
