Ep. 185 Martin Fridson: The Dean of High Yield

This week's show is a special one... It's the last free episode of Stansberry Radio.   After three years of broadcasting from a dark and dingy studio in Baltimore, Porter and I have decided to shut down the T-Rex show.   On this final show, you'll hear all the reasons why we made the difficult decision to pull the plug.   In true Stansberry Radio fashion we are going out with a bang. We invited one of our favorite guests for a no-holds-barred interview... the founder of Casey Research, Doug Casey.   Porter and Doug discuss the lies that are destroying America. This show will strike a nerve with many of our listeners.   In sincerity, I want to thank every single listener for all of your feedback over the years. We certainly wouldn't have made it this far without you.   I personally owe a debt of gratitude to every single one of you. The growth I've experienced in both finance as well as my personal life over the last three years can largely be attributed to Stansberry Radio. Now, it's onto the next chapter.   We also recently announced Steve Sjuggerud is taking over Frank Curzio's show. We have no doubt he will do a fantastic job. So please give his show a try.   And lastly, I’d really like for you to consider trying out Stansberry Radio Premium. To learn more, click here.     As always, we welcome any and all feedback.

Porter was away at our Alliance meeting in the Dominican Republic this week and so I got to go into our paid content file and pick something very special for you.   I picked something extraordinary...   Jim Rickards' speech from our recent Stansberry Conference Series in Nashville.   It's amazing how much Jim can pack into a 30 minute speech – recession, depression, inflation, monetary policy, and the Fed.   Sit back in your favorite chair, grab a beverage, close your eyes, and listen.     Enjoy.

Porter returns from the New Orleans Investment Conference to tell listeners about the panel he was on with Dr. Alan Greenspan.   I was surprised at what Porter had to say about the "Maestro's" thoughts on the Fed's balance sheet... and gold.   I ask Porter for his thoughts on the Federal Reserve's decision to end quantitative easing. In typical Porter fashion, you'll hear candid thoughts on the potential ramifications of unwinding their debt.   Porter also interviews the largest land-owner in Argentina and legendary hard-asset investor Eduardo Elsztain. Porter has been following his career for over a decade. You'll hear why now could be a great time to invest in Argentina.   Porter also makes a bold prediction for Tesla. He believes it will have a major announcement that will shock investors in the next 12 months.     This is one of those shows when Porter is in rare form. 

This week, Bobby Casey, a renowned speaker on anarcho-capitalism, free-market economics, and offshore businesses joins Stansberry Radio.   Why is now the time to internationally diversify your portfolio?   Listen as Bobby shares his view on how to achieve true freedom by internationalizing your life using the "the multi-flag approach."   Bobby talks about the implications of FATCA, the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act. He considers it one of the worst pieces of legislation ever written... that few people know exists. Find out how this new law forces all international banks to become part of the IRS's worldwide police force.   Bobby also tells the listeners what he believes are the best ways to diversify their portfolios. He emphasizes the importance of:   ·         Owning foreign real estate   ·         Why investors should use the "Buffet Approach"   ·         Geo-political diversification   ·         Why everyone should own hard assets   ·         Having a second passport   ·         How Airbnb.com is becoming a great business for international investors   Although it's becoming much more legally difficult to invest internationally, it's not too late.     This is a good show that will make you think about how you diversify your money and keep it safe.
