Previously: Segment 1 | Archive PFS Group  Client Only Meeting  7 November 2009 Excerpts Segment 1: The Fourth Turning In this segment we'll discuss how we're at a critical turning  point in history. Segment 2: Business Boom & Bust Cycles:  Their Impact on Financial Markets In this segment we'll walk through some past "crashes" and see  how they're the same, or how they're different, from what's going  on in today's markets. Forecoming Segment 3: Monetary Theory of Asset Prices In this segment we'll talk about how increases in money supply  flow through the markets and create asset bubbles. Segment 4: Inflation and the Fall of the Roman Empire:  Lessons for Today In this segment we'll talk about a culture and a time in history that  I think is very similar to our own. We think there are some warning  signs in this example we can learn from. Segment 5: The Statistical Recovery In this segment we discuss how the statistics that are being quoted  as "proof" that our economy is in recovery aren't showing what's really  happening. Segment 6: The Headwinds of Debt and Credit In this segment we discuss how the shortage of available credit, and  the high levels of existing debt, will continue to drag on our economy  for years to come. Segment 7: Government Spending: Unsustainable In this segment we discuss how US government budget plans are going  to create deficits that will be so big that the only way out will be to  devalue the dollar. Segment 8: Inflation, Deflation, & the Role of Money In this segment we'll show how, all throughout history, increases in  money supply always lead to inflation.
