The Upcoming Revolt of the Middle Class | |
Charles Hugh Smith and Michael Oliver return as guests on this week’s program. Last summer BLM & Antifa wrecked havoc in most of the large cities in the U.S. while the mainstream media paid little attention to it or to the plight of America's middle class who have become increasingly impoverished by the transfer of wealth from manufacturing to government-funded enterprises. With their voices not heard for decades & their President censored from partisan Twitter & Facebook, the anger of a small number of Hillary Clinton’s “deplorables” triggered the January 7 storming of the U.S. Capitol building. Will silencing descent lead to national unity or is that akin to pouring fuel onto the fire? Charles will opine on the reasons for the evolution of two separate Americas and what impact America’s division will have not only on our economy but more importantly on life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness not only for the middle class but for all Americans. Michael will update us on the structure and momentum of key markets. | |

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. | |
