Geopolitical risk, QE, bond yields, gold, the US dollar, the EU, and more topics were discussed in detail.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHere is a rundown of the speakers and topics you will hear when you receive your personal copy of the SIC 2014 Audio Collection. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJohn Mauldin implores his audience to evolve from Homo sapiens to Homo rationalis in his fascinating walk through history, and a detailed explanation of how change will impact our lives faster than ever. Those of us who are not prepared for the rapid pace of change risk being left behind—intellectually and financially. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePerennial favorite speaker Dr. Lacy Hunt of Hoisington Investment Management asks the question (and then answers), “Did the Bernanke Fed Do the Right Thing and Will the Yellen Fed Be Any Different?” If you’ve been confused up to now as to why deflation poses a threat to our economy, you’ll clearly understand after listening to Lacy’s research-rich presentation. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBloomberg Economist Rich Yamarone detailed his “Fab Five” economic indicators. Rich looks at the real world beyond Wall Street to get an early read on economic activity. Find out what Rich’s indicators reveal, as they are not in line with the “all is rosy” sentiment. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRich Yamarone was joined on stage by his opposite, David Zervos of Jeffries, LLC. David’s message was simple: don’t fight the Fed. He believes there are only two possible outcomes to the Fed’s actions: a replay of the 1970s, or a new era of 1990s-like prosperity and growth. He explains why there should be “no haters” in the investment community. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDavid Rosenberg, senior economist at Gluskin-Sheff, outlines in amazing detail why he believes growth in the US will continue, if one key investment activity picks up steam. And if it doesn’t, he details what may be in store for growth prospects. With that caveat, Rosenberg lists the sectors he currently favors for investment. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStephen Moore of the Heritage Foundation shared the stage with George Gilder for a discussion on prosperity and capitalism, and how they go hand in hand. \u003cbr\u003eMoore believes “The US is one election away from the biggest economic boom in history.” He also revealed exactly what happens to your tax dollars when they arrive in Washington. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNiall Ferguson, professor of history at Harvard, expanded on themes introduced in his latest book, The Great Degeneration. This included his view on US isolationism and the state of the US’s institutions, government, and culture. Ferguson has the uncanny ability to transport the listener back to the halls of college in a way only the best thinkers and teachers can. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnatole Kaletsky of GaveKal Dragonomics posed the question, “Is this the beginning of the end, or the end of the beginning?” He then presents his case for the development of a structural bull-market that could last well into the next decade. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNeil Howe, author of The Fourth Turning, turned his analysis of generational traits and trends to the largest country in the world. To truly understand what will happen in China (and therefore, the world) in the coming decades, one must pay attention to the demographics and generational ideals of the country. Howe analyzes China from a rarely heard, but absolutely critical perspective. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDylan Grice of Aeris Capital laid out the types of investments he believes are most attractive today, and clarifies the role of gold in today’s society. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGary Shilling explains why rapid growth in the US economy is within reach, as the deleveraging cycle nears its end. Technology will play a key role in this new growth cycle. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJonathen Tepper, coauthor with John Mauldin of Code Red, joined Grant Williams, author of Things That Make You Go Hmmm… for a tour of China, Europe, and Japan, where both have years of experience in the markets. They agreed that Europe is currently in a period of irrational calm and complacency—the sort that often precedes a crisis. \u003cbr\u003eIf there is another European financial crisis, the impact will be felt across the globe. Their analysis of China and Japan had the room murmuring with (justifiable) concern. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIan Bremmer, NYU professor of political science and president of Eurasia Group, details why Russia has become so aggressive, and how the US completely misjudged Putin. Bremmer is the missing link between politics and economics. His geopolitical overview reveals the specific regions he believes are poised for long-term growth in the years ahead, and the types of investments he currently finds attractive. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePaul McCulley, former senior partner of PIMCO and longtime SIC speaker, made the Keynsian case for QE and Fed activity. While many in the crowd disagreed, he made an eloquent argument for the long-term stability of the US dollar, based on one key characteristic. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePatrick Cox, editor of Transformational Technology Alert, gave a fascinating talk titled “The Curse of the Alchemist”—exploring tech advances over the past 500 years. He previewed some of the companies that may help solve the biggest demographic challenge in our world’s history—how human civilization deals with technological advances, extended lifespans, broken mortality tables, and expanding social programs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese speakers are some of the world’s top independent thinkers. They shared their insights on the capital markets, economy, geopolitics, technology, and much, much more. \u003cbr\u003eEach speaker is a keynote headliner in his own right. They came not just to speak from the podium, but also to listen and learn from the other speakers, and to spend time chatting one-on-one with the audience members. They represented the perfect mix of trader and economist, historian and futurist.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e-Gold is the ultimate hard currency, and it’s cheap(er than it was). It’s the oldest form of savings.\u003cbr\u003e—Dylan Grice\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor CD Player\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"NeverDieMedia","offers":[{"title":"Used In Box","offer_id":31985996791940,"sku":"52523","price":199.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0083\/0377\/1710\/products\/201681517556464XEQD8917XE_ca228bba-1a4a-4f84-88da-fac8905ce0cf.jpg?v=1601276707","url":"https:\/\/www.neverdiemedia.com\/products\/2014-strategic-investment-conference-sic2014-audio-collection","provider":"NeverDieMedia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
