 Let's jump over to our man, Teddy Kegsdad. Folks, if you haven't checked out Teddy's work, he writes the Tiger Forex report every Monday available under the newsletter tab at TFNN. It also comes with a 60-minute webinar. If you have time during the holidays, folks, check it out, Forex driving so much of this market, man. And we'll jump into it. Teddy Kegsdad, Merry Christmas, man. Happy holidays. How we doing? We're doing great. So I got a bunch of 2023 predictions for all the VR viewers out there. Some are going to be really happy, especially your gold people, and some people are going to probably be seeing their breakfast for the second time today after I'm done. So I'm going to read these to you. The truth hurts sometimes, man, but you know what they say? Ignorance is bliss, not in the market, man. So let's hear it. Where do you want to start off? OK, I'm going to be reading this, but I'm going to start off with gold right off the bat. Gold, perfect. All right, gold will rally, OK, driven by fear of currency debasement and also counterparty market risk that's very bullish for gold in 2023. Gold mining stocks should do even better, OK? So that's my stand on gold. Stocks, the super cycle is over. Currency weakness will slam corporate America, OK? Misallocation of money because of inflation and COVID mandates will crush businesses. And debt companies will go bust. And the general public, when it's all done, will be like the 1930s all over. And if you mention the stock market, they're probably going to take a slight swing at you, OK? So now we're going to get to interest rates and bonds. Central banks do not control the markets. They influence them. And it's going to become very clear in the next year. Triple threat risk to capital, higher rates, currency risk, and default risk are going to be the major issues with the bond market in 2023. So that's going to cause a lot of volatility for other markets as well. All right. Revaluations of bonds falling below triple B. That means funds will be selling it and dumping it like garbage, OK? Most investors are aware that bond funds or any mutual fund that has any type of bonds. And once they get to triple B, they have to dump them, OK? So that's going to be a big deal as so many corporate bonds get rated down to triple B next year. If you did not sell bonds yesterday, which was the best time actually over a year ago and anytime since today, today or tomorrow, tomorrow this can't be worse than today. So for 2023, bonds will not be a buy. Eventually they will be, but for the next year, forget about it. All right. Currencies are all in trouble, OK? If you want to own any currencies by gold or by the US dollar, Swiss, or to Swiss versus many other currencies, that's going to be probably the big winner in 2023. The risk will not be, OK? If it is over, OK? And it's going to be something this year, 2023, but most others are, excuse me, cryptos. This is what's going to happen with Bitcoin and the industry, the way I see it. If these other scenarios are true, this is the year for crypto and Bitcoin, OK? If it's ever going to become something, it has to prove itself in 2023, OK? And it's probably the one that will, but the rest, not so much, OK? Most of them are scams. It's all going to come to light. There's going to be a lot of upheaval in the crypto industry over 2023, but Bitcoin, if it's ever going to be that glorious thing that becomes what they always said it would be, this is going to be the year, OK? So we'll see how that pans out with them. Now we get to real estate, because it's all ties in with currencies and bonds. If the average guy can't buy property, then he can't sell it either. Buyers need financing, OK? So real estate is something you need to own, to live in, and to build on for manufacturing for companies. However, real estate has become a speculative vehicle over the last two decades, especially. And it's totally leveraged by debt. That becomes a problem as the debt market sees up. It's going to definitely have an impact on real estate. Now we get to oil. All right. Global demand will most likely slow down as economies slow down. So that means that oil would probably be suppressed or stay pretty stable. However, we have the counterpart issue, OK? The green new deals will make it harder for oil to be retrieved in the oil services industry to work with the product itself. So that means that we could have a very big issue with oil going higher in 2023. And overall, for energies, oil, coal, natural gas, and uranium are all going higher. And the companies that service these products are also going higher, OK? So these are definitely stocks. There's always a winner somewhere, and there's always a loser somewhere. So if these predictions are right, you know those industries are where you want to jump into. And all the rest, I hate to say it, are very, very, are in a lot of trouble. I mean, look at the big companies like Tesla and Spotify and a bunch of other companies that have gotten whacked over the past, like especially a few months to the year. So that's the tip of the iceberg, I think, going into 2023. And there you have it. I appreciate it, man. Folks, you got to check out the Tiger Forex report. That's such a great summary. And you can see, folks, how Teddy goes much deeper than just Forex. And Forex is just driving so much of the action, which is pretty cool, Teddy, in terms of how it all ties in. There's so many comments I was thinking about as you went through that. I'm going to try and jump through them in a second, but just talking about the decimation that could happen in some of these stocks. I think a lot of people forget, Teddy, how far we have come, man. Now, I pull up like a monthly, and I try and just add some context of things, right? And I say to people, folks, when President Trump was elected, that was November of 2016? Is that right? Yeah, that's right. The S&P was at 2,200. And remember, Teddy, no matter what you think about politics, people were pretty happy about what the economy was doing in the year 2016, right? You just traded in the S&Ps from 600 and changed to 2,200. We're still at 3,900. You know, point being of some context of how far the market has gone over that time. You just went from 600 and changed to 4,800 in change. Doesn't mean the world is over if you get some type of pullback far before we are. Some stocks like Tesla, as you said, boy, that is quite a lesson among many others, right? I mean, good stocks that are making money. Zoom, Zoom was making money. And somehow that stock got up to almost 500 bucks, and now it's at $65. That's not even the story of the dot-com bubble burst. Jumping back to the currencies real quick though, because you pointed out the Swiss franc. So for those that have not heard it, Teddy, when you're talking about the dollar or the Swiss, why did you pick that currency out in particular if you go over? Because I pulled up a chart, as you said it, and it looks like it could have some room as it's sitting at about 92 right now, right? And many times when we were first starting to talk to you years ago, you had parity, and you were just at parity in November before this thing sold off. If you go into that, if you wouldn't mind. Absolutely. My biggest thing with the Swiss is that if you look at, see most people like, especially if you look at the modern era, people look only at the last decade or two for all their numbers and trying to predict where we're going. I look at history, I go way, way back, and you gotta realize that the Swiss franc has been basically in a bull market for the last almost, what is it, it's 100 and, what is it, 170 years? Yeah, since 1850, since basically the Civil War, the Swiss franc has rallied versus almost every currency overall since then, okay? So if it's down against any of those currencies right now, that's just a correction in the super cycle of things, okay? And that's the one thing I have to say is that if I'm right about these predictions and we are heading to where these markets do have such an upheaval, the Swiss is a flight to quality currency. So that means that will be something where that will hold up versus so many other currencies, and especially at the dollar, which is a flight to quality falls apart. Well, where are you going to? Gold and Swiss. Can you hang with us for one more segment, Teddy? Sure, sure. Okay, we're gonna come back, folks. We're gonna finish the conversation up. We'll be right back in three minutes. Stay tuned. We'll be back at the markets with some volatility. Three days left until 2023. Teddy and I will be right back. Welcome back, folks. We have the S&P up by five points right now.

All right, because you're talking about Bitcoin. I was talking about Bitcoin at the beginning of the program. Pretty remarkable how well it's actually held up. And maybe that's part of the reason is what you're talking about. What do you think of Bitcoin? Because I said, how does Bitcoin trade down, Teddy, for basically two days? November 8th and November 9th with the implosion of FTX. And then that's it. We never make it below about $15,000. We're trading at $16,700. It seems like with everything going on, you would have seen more acceleration to lower prices from $20,000 to about $16,500 right now. What's your general take on Bitcoin and where you think it might head if you're talking about next year could be kind of a reckoning if everything plays out like you were thinking. Okay, well, like I said, next year, I think is the true test. I mean, we know that Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies are not a hedge against inflation. However, they may be a store of value. And if that's the case, this is where we'll find out. Now, you gotta realize with FTX and all this implosion, the cryptocurrency market is in for a rough ride in 2023. But it's also exposing the realities that I've been saying this for the past couple of years. I'm like, people are just putting letters on a computer and selling blips. There's no real technology. So all the stamps are gonna be shaken up. And that's, I think, also gonna support Bitcoin. Because remember, I used to say Bitcoin is kind of like the dollar index as it rises and falls, the others even flow together. Well, now we know that 99.9% of all cryptocurrencies out there are fugazies. They're not real. There's no technology behind it. It's nothing but smoke and mirrors. That is gonna come to roost. And I think that the people who do have stuff in those currencies, as they're dumping it, they're gonna put it into Bitcoin because Bitcoin, Ethereum and Monero are the only ones that, one, are real technologies, not necessarily news, but Ethereum is to some degree and Monero definitely is. And Bitcoin is the first. So those three, I think, will hold value. The rest, forget about it. Teddy, I appreciate it. I appreciate the wrap up, man. I wish you a happy new year. And we'll talk to you in 2023, man. Sounds good. Take care. Stay tuned, folks. Basil's up next.
