Dan Oliver, Michael Oliver and Dr. Quinton Hennigh are this week’s guests. Alasdair Macleod has often made the comparison of America’s rapidly declining financial status with that of the French-originated South Sea Bubble. Similar to the U.S. stock market greed now, market greed in France ran unchecked until the system broke down. Then, for fear of his life, John Law the originator of the French get-rich-quick scheme had to sneak out of France disguised as a woman. But his partner Richard Cantillon, recognized the flaw in Law’s dishonest scheme and sold short at the top of the market. The South Sea Bubble is clearly a warning to Americans to exit the current financial markets that are being fueled by the same Kool-Aid-drinking mentality as that of the 1720 South Sea Bubble. Michael returns to update us on his latest view on gold and silver and Quinton will update us on some amazing developments with Novo Resources in Western Australia. | |

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. | |
