Nice one Brett. You definitively found your format and I enjoy these videos very much. Of course you're right that nobody is in total control. The issue therefor is those that seek too much control, wealth, power and make attempts to silence other people. Those people must and will be stopped.
Moreover, the very idea that any specific person or group should have total control (in the name of democracy, of course!) must come under the microscope. Disagreement is how we test ideas.
Love the Rudyard Kipling reference to the poem "If" I had to memorize that poem in the 7th grade. Didn`t sink in till many years later. Every teenage boy needs to read and understand it. ------- If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you, If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too; If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies, Or being hated, don’t give way to hating, And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise: If you can dream-and not make dreams your master; If you can think-and not make thoughts your aim; If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two impostors just the same; If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools: If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss, And lose, and start again at your beginnings And never breathe a word about your loss; If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they are gone, And so hold on when there is nothing in you Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’ If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with Kings-nor lose the common touch, If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you, If all men count with you, but none too much; If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run, Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it, And-which is more-you’ll be a Man, my son!
I really appreciate how you share your points of view -- and make clear that it isnt a prediction / but your view and a potential to prepare for. Great content. Thank you for the time you spend making this available for us.
Not in control (Brent's position) and not in full control are different things. Digital currency sure could be exploited in many ways to enhance control.
@@davidzoller9617 CBDC's mean they know every transaction an where it took place. And probably a bit more than that as well. Then you introduce AI to restrict transactions based on some arbitrary metrics. Giving money to a Church? No, says the Government, who proclaims themselves to be God.
Probably my favorite episode yet, Brent! Great wisdom & very sound advice. Both Biblical & true. Markets, art & many other things imitate life. The best & most successful usually are so despite all the obstacles precisely b/c they win the battle within the mind, put in the work themselves & always keep the faith. None of these groups or entities have all the power & can't control us no matter how hard they try. Yes, there is evil & truth to all these things that many including myself have wasted time worrying about but it is all derived from the realm unseen. We fight it by not allowing it to control & paralyze us but by choosing to rise above it, do what is right/wise and loving others & enjoying the journey as we do. We have the power to change others b/c they want to change whereas they can only try to hold us down, deceive us & attemtp to convince us that we don't possess the power to change ourselves & become the hero in our own story. Only one is true power. Only one is our God given birth right & duty. David slayed Goliath because he believed he would because of the God he served & the faith he had in himself as a result.
I would disagree in that we are clearly at the end of the 3rd privately owned central bank. Consider the ramifications of this monumental event. The other side of this will be great ! How we get there i doubt even Brent knows????
Encouraging words--especially personalized--by a studied person of substance are always deeply appreciated. TY, Brent. Too bad I can't run into you in our small SF neighborhood anymore. But I will virtually tune in to you regularly. 🙂
Good one Brent. Along these lines, if you believe the price of real estate is going to decrease (I do) then it's a good time to save up for the deals that will come in the next few years. Keep it up brother!
Great analysis by Brent! If you remain calm and analytical this the unfolding scenario can present seldom seen potential for financial opportunities! I constantly have to remind myself of this. Kudos to Brent for reminding us of this!
I was ~29 when the Berlin Wall fell. I remember thinking that it was only happening because the West had degraded to such a degree that it mattered little.
Free market capitalism is about competition whereas socialism (in theory is about cooperation). Of course in reality socialism always fails and turns into people doing the least amount of work to get the most amount of government handouts. When Russian Socialism failed Western nations no longer had a formidable oppenent and of course became content and lazy. Such is human nature where all empires fall. What's most concerning is the lack of understanding of history from modern Westernera how Socialism has failed every single time, killed the most people in history and de-incentivize people to work hard and save. Socialism is also built on the resement of people who have more financial wealth then us and the belief we're entitled to steal from them. "The problem with Socialism is you eventually run out of other people's money" built on its primary belief "If we can't be rich let's all be equally poor".
Hi Brent, long time listener. What would be interesting is a discussion on the mechanics of a Chinese evaluation of their currency. And how that would send deflation to the rest of the world. All the best from Tampa, Florida
I love your work because it is balanced and measured. I won't lie that I like a juicy conspiracy theory, but I always play devils advocate and pretend that I'm being paid to argue against it, and then argue against it in my head. This usually leads me to taking a more balanced approach...
Its tough for me to imagine that all the evil bastards and organizations have all the same desires and are efficiently aligned in their efforts. That peobability seems extrememly low. Thanks Brent
Well people are different but ask yourself where to people move to and where to people flee? You know the answer and it is not just about economics but freedoms and rights.
Good video! Trying to be objective/centric is to be more hated as compared to take any side. Historically, during revolutions these people killed the most. So be careful😂
Last month end markets closed the way it did, it was totally controlled/manipulation. For how long, it's up for debate. I was so sure about the markets goosing, I bought ultra short and vix call options for the 1st time ever! Oh, cashed out Friday:)
hey . Brent! could u explain me what's the meaning of that map of France behind u? I 've been seing that since the live meeting of u, Snider, Gammon, & others...But coulndt read it
Hi Brent, you made reference to a movie about "the man in the hole" or something like that. I can't find it, so I must have gotten it wrong. Please clarify and maybe provide a link. Thanks!
I kind of agree and disagree with your notion of keeping your head Brent: Disagree: 1. "Keeping your head" has a double meaning...one being composure and equanimity etc. even and especially when others are panicking and being routed , AND, 2. Not being identified, targeted and harmed or killed by one bunch of evil idiots or another- I believe you take too lightly the idea that keeping your head physically isn't a present peril AGREE: 1. It is true that no one entity... None of the entities you listed. However Satan is real and has a great deal of control over this world. When Jesus also is real and he does have total control over this world and the next... He has control over everything except for you are free will and mine, and the other individuals of this time and place, and 2. Not only are none of the entities you listed in control, but we must remember that Evil Will Oft Shall Evil Mar... The circular firing squad and the ever closing impurity spiral work against the evildoers.
God I remembet how I destroyed myself in my late 20s early 30s with substance abuse. I restarted life after clearing up legal issues, and slowly rebuilding myself. I lost most of my first $50K investing in gold stocks. I said if you cannot take a loss then don't play the game. I went all in on gold stocks in 1999 - 2000. I got creamed in 2008, bounced back stronger in 2011, fell on my face in 2014, and I rose again 2020.
Dear Brent, just for fun..... Let's say money rules the world and look at your list again. Isn't it by design, that the rich get richer and the poor get poorer? How much more do you need to control? Do you think, as a millionaire, you are rich?
Through out history I noticed over varying time lines of societies tend to swing to more libertarian free market then back towards socialism and the cycle begins again. Do you think the west’s slow decline into more socialist society will stop or best case reverse? I am of the unfortunate opinion that the turn will only come when the inevitable results of socialism become apparent. The only consistent in these cycles is the inconsistency of that realisation. What are your thoughts?
I wish you're right about them losing control, but somehow the Australian Housing Bubble is still going strong and young people can't get a roof over their head. Could you short Australia please?
China surely became more capitalist after the Berlin Wall coming down, as a result adding massive amounts to its GDP vis a vis World GDP. I guess it's all about perspective, the West may have become more socialist as a result because that may be the natural defend mechanism for seeing wealth travelling East.
True gold bugs must hate you since you tap into logic and common sense. It must frustrate them immensely that you’re not just going to believe their projections/bs. You can’t go around living life, saying the dog ate my homework and actually believing it
One thing I have learned about the stock market is that it is very very manipulated. It will not let investors know when it go up or down. It will always do the opposite what investors think it might do... If investors can figure out what the market is going to do, companies will go bankruptcy.... So I don't waste my time and energy to bother what the market is going to do...... for me .. Long & short-term trading is generally safer, allowing investors to weather market volatility. I have managed to grow a nest egg of around 100k to a decent 732k in the space of a few months... I'm especially grateful to Adriana Jensen, whose deep expertise and traditional trading acumen have been invaluable in this challenging, ever-evolving financial landscape.
That's what I need the most; to stay calm and think rationally in the midst of market madness.
Nice one Brett.

I love your philosophy that we all must be the hero in our own movie! Listening to you greatly reduces my anxiety.
Love the Rudyard Kipling reference to the poem "If" I had to memorize that poem in the 7th grade. Didn`t sink in till many years later. Every teenage boy needs to read and understand it. -------
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream-and not make dreams your master;
If you can think-and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings-nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And-which is more-you’ll be a Man, my son!
I have it taped to my computer screen and read it all the time. over and over and over and over...
Thanks BroJo 👍
Thanks for this. My first time hearing this poem. Makes alot of sense. I am going to print this too and stick to my desk
Great episode! It’s time to get real. It’s nice speaking from a place different from financial markets. It’s the real world
Good stuff in your soapbox Brent ! Much appreciated.
Great topic Brent! Thanks for sharing your insights.

Great post, very refreshing to hear your perspective of staying rational and calm
That was the message I needed to hear. Thanks
Brent keeps nailing it with his correct calls.
Gold and silver bugs need to start respecting his humble and reliable analysis.
I would disagree in that we are clearly at the end of the 3rd privately owned central bank. Consider the ramifications of this monumental event.
The other side of this will be great ! How we get there i doubt even Brent knows????
Brilliant, thanks for your wisdom. You nailed it! Blessings Brent to you and your family and business. Thanks for this channel.
Definitely needed this pep talk today for business goals.. the brain always finds a way to throw roadblocks in your way 👏👏👏 well said Brent
Brent,
Your practical approach to life needs to be put into a children's book series! Team up with someone ... they'll be terrific for children!
Recently been consistently listening to and watching this channel and this episode is very well timed and greatly appreciated. Thank you Brent!
I very much needed to hear your “rant”. Perfect message for the times. Thank you.
Encouraging words--especially personalized--by a studied person of substance are always deeply appreciated. TY, Brent. Too bad I can't run into you in our small SF neighborhood anymore. But I will virtually tune in to you regularly. 🙂
Thankyou agent 86
Best 40 minutes of my week
Good one Brent. Along these lines, if you believe the price of real estate is going to decrease (I do) then it's a good time to save up for the deals that will come in the next few years.
Keep it up brother!
Thanks for the analysis been listening for almost a year now. Super interesting time in the world, looks like it's almost crunch time.
Great analysis by Brent! If you remain calm and analytical this the unfolding scenario can present seldom seen potential for financial opportunities! I constantly have to remind myself of this. Kudos to Brent for reminding us of this!
Thanks mate great analysis
Hope the master class is still in the works!
Great as usual.
Thank you 🎉
Brent i totally appreciate you soapbox included its all knowledge 💼💰
GoT LittleFinger quote -- love it! Yes, crisis is always opportunity.
This is a good video on how to survive and prosper in the years ahead.
Good stuff brent
You're like the dad I never had sometimes❤
I am always grateful for Brent's advise. His kids are lucky to have a dad like him
12:15 So true..
Spanish saying: A rio revuelto ganancia de pescadores (in a stirred up river, fishermen's gain).
Powerful thumbnail.
Touche Brother Brent. Cheers as ever.
Brent: Theres no nefarious organization out there in control.
God: Am I a joke to you?
😂
j/k.
Excellent advice!!!!!
Great insights. This might be even better than the shows with your co-host lol.
This episode Slapped. 💪
Hey Brent I needed a couch for this one geezer! 😆
Each time it’s different. Thanks 🙏
Great point!

There actually is a certain group that seems to be in control… it’s those you can’t criticize!
I love your work because it is balanced and measured. I won't lie that I like a juicy conspiracy theory, but I always play devils advocate and pretend that I'm being paid to argue against it, and then argue against it in my head. This usually leads me to taking a more balanced approach...
Hopefully a lot of people get to listen to this
My friend: What's yr favorite genre of porn?
Me: Bear.
All movies basically follow the same plot you outlined. It is called the hero’s journey or monomyth.
Its tough for me to imagine that all the evil bastards and organizations have all the same desires and are efficiently aligned in their efforts. That peobability seems extrememly low.
Thanks Brent
Thanks dad
Chaos is a laddah!

Brent. I see what you did there... got a little "Get Smart" action going on. 🤣🤣
Dang, you must be as old as I am.
Brent went philosopher on this one 😂

Hi Brent, you made reference to a movie about "the man in the hole" or something like that. I can't find it, so I must have gotten it wrong. Please clarify and maybe provide a link. Thanks!
Its not a specific movie. Its a story arc than many movies use to bring dramatic effect and emotion to it.

I decided to just DCA and enjoy life.

Are you a sagittarius?
Western society was more free when socialism came from an exterior threat. We did not anticipate socialism destroying free capitalism from within.

What happens if trump loses again? I dont like whats coming but I am going to take advantage. Never let a good crisis go to waste

Access to good information is what we investors needs to progress financially and generally in life. this is a good one and I appreciate
This is why it is advisable to connect with a true market strategist in order to avoid missing such opportunity and maintain steady gains.
The internet is filled. with so many useful information. about Adriana Jensen.
Thanks for keeping it light and real at the same time. Much needed for us traders in times like these!
She appears to be well-educated and well-read. I ran a Google search on her name and came across her website; thank you for sharing.
