Yesterday I had Peter R. Quiñones on the podcast to discuss the upcoming Presidential Election, geopolitical events in the Middle East and Ukraine, and our occupied government.

Once you realize itâs all nonsense then it all makes sense.
A couple days ago, I had fellow Substack author Le Shrub on the podcast. He writes over at Reminiscences of a Shrub Operator, and if you donât already follow him, you should. Heâs clearly the most talented trader in the plant kingdom, but we had a great conversation on different commodities, the market, and several stocks of interest. Heâs also a very entertaining follow on Twitter.

Last week I had Mihail Stoyanov, the author of TheOldEconomy, on the podcast to talk about shipping, commodities, and his investment strategy. With his background in the shipping sector, he was able to give some valuable insights into the different subsectors worth keeping an eye on moving forward. We also talked about commodities, his options strategy, and other opportunities he finds attractive today.
Podcast Summary
* We talked about why he likes Cape Size vessels, and Navios Maritime Partners $NMM in particular.
* His thoughts on the LNG sector, and what makes Dynagas $DLNG and their ICE class vessels attractive (their 6 vessel fleet includes 5 ICE class vessels).
*A Quick Note: I looked this up after the recording, but Dynagas is a Master Limited Partnership, which requires a K-1 tax form here in the US. Donât say I didnât warn you.
* Why he likes the shipbuilding sector and Seatrium in particular.
* His bullish views on precious metals and the different ways he expresses that view for gold, silver, and PGMs.
* Golar LNG $GLNG , their unique assets, and why he still likes the company.

We had a double dip on the podcast last week, so Iâll be posting this one instead of the Videos of the Week. I had Stormy Waters on the podcast, someone who is a must follow on Twitter. He is anonymous, but he has sold a couple businesses and is now focused on venture capital, private businesses, commodities, and public equities. It was one of those conversations where you forget youâre even recording. The YouTube hall monitors probably wouldnât like some of the language, so fair warning on that, but this one will be audio only. This episode will have something for everyone, but I guarantee you will learn a thing or two.
âCommodity prices have been artificially suppressed for the better part of seventy years. Weâre talking about a much larger correction now arenât we?
Weâre looking at a once in 150 year commodity supercycle.â
Podcast Summary
* The manipulation in oil markets and European sovereign debt markets, which are increasing in frequency and size.
* Why he thinks oil is capped not because of the upcoming Presidential election, but because of the inflation that Europe would feel if oil goes higher.
* The different types of dollars, and why heâs short the Euro and the Pound.
* How the US lifted other countries out of poverty over the last several decades.
* The situation in Israel and the rift between Netanyahu and Trump, and why Netanyahu will look to expand the war in Iran and/or Lebanon. This was recorded on 10/26, so that call looks pretty good in light of recent events in Lebanon.
* Why heâs bullish on commodities across the board. We talked about some of his picks in uranium, natural gas, steel, and gold miners.
* Why he thinks the Franceâs sovereign debt market will be the first domino in Europe to kick things off for a sovereign debt collapse.
* The impact of the so-called Robber Barons (aka the great American men of that era), the pursuit of the good, true, and beautiful, and the noblesse oblige that is missing from todayâs billionaire class.
* The state of the bullion market, the LBMA, and JP Morganâs influence on bullion.
* How Eurodollars are used to suppress commodity prices bought from other countries, and then finished goods are sold to those same countries.
* What led to the decline of the birth rate in developed nations (feminism, womenâs liberation, and women in the work force), and how to fix it.
* Book Recommendations: The House of Morgan by Ron Chernow; Imperium by Francis Parker Yockey; Men Among The Ruins by Julius Evola.

I wanted to ramble on some of my thoughts on three situations that Iâm paying the most attention to right now, and why I have been adding to Sable Offshore $SOC and Navios Maritime Partners $NMM .

Iâll be writing part 2 today, which will focus on the rest the portfolio, different commodities, and sectors I have focused on over the last year and change. Iâll also write a bit about my thoughts on recent trades, and it should be out tomorrow morning.

After talking with Vince Lanci VBL a while back, he said I should have Brynne Kelly on to talk about oil markets, and after the recent action in oil, I figured now was as good of a time as any. We talked about oil and natural gas, LNG, energy infrastructure, among other topics.
Podcast Summary
* Her view on owning energy equities, and why she prefers to get energy exposure directly through the commodities.

* Her thoughts on oil going negative in 2020, and how storage and infrastructure are a bottleneck for oil and natural gas.

* The regulatory risk for investing in energy infrastructure, and her thoughts on geopolitical risk.
* Her time horizon with a typical trade.
* LNG (liquefied natural gas), and why sheâs skeptical that all of the planned projects will get built.

This week I had Judd Arnold of Lake Cornelia Research Management on the podcast. We discussed two companies I have been very interested in, Sable Offshore $SOC and Navios Maritime Partners $NMM .

We also discussed some of the names in the offshore space, which has had a rough month along with oil.

I wanted to get something out early this week after the bloodbath for oil and the energy equities. Price drives narrative, and we saw that last week for oil. Iâm still stubbornly bullish, but that doesnât mean oil wonât go lower short-term. I do think that the risk/reward from here is skewed, but that doesnât make last week any less painful.
Summary
* I went through some of the things I found interesting on oil, from inventories, to DUCs (drilled, uncompleted wells), sentiment, and positioning.
* I also talked about the potential for a dockworker strike, with a deadline of October 1st.
* I talked briefly about the shifting of the Overton Window on things like immigration, and the discussion around WWII and Winston Churchill.
* For paid subscribers, I explained my logic on recent portfolio moves, and why Iâm very bullish on Sable Offshore $SOC and Navios Maritime Partners $NMM .

I was able to get Rudy Havenstein on the podcast last week for a great conversation. We talked about his investing strategy, real estate, inflation, and much more. If you donât already follow him on Twitter, heâs one of the most entertaining accounts to follow.
I donât see volatility as risk. I see risk as permanent loss of capital.
Podcast Summary
* His investing strategy, which is focused on the long term and looking for stuff that is out of favor. Heâs heavy in energy but also has some stuff he has been hanging onto for three decades.
* His thoughts on real estate and chance that younger generations get a buying opportunity in the next couple years.
* Competition from institutions in the single family housing market.
* Private equity hollowing out different industries.

Last week I had Matt Erickson of the Kingpilled podcast on the show to talk about the PayPal Mafia. Weâre closing in on two months to election day, and I wanted to get him on to chat about some of the influential groups behind the scenes and what he sees coming for the rest of the year. Mattâs worth a follow, and you can find him on YouTube and Twitter.
Podcast Summary
* We go down the PayPal Mafia rabbit hole, talking about the influence of figures like Peter Thiel and Elon Musk.

This was one of my favorite podcasts I have recorded so far and I had to go listen to it a second time last night. I havenât found many investors like PauloMacro that are as good at painting a picture of where we are today in financial markets and where we might be going. If you arenât able to get enough from his Substack, you can also find him on Twitter.
Inflationary recessions create monetary illusions.
There are a lot of moving pieces in financial markets and geopolitics right now, and Paulo does a great job of setting the stage before diving into different commodities and opportunities in certain sectors. There were three takeaways that I think everyone should consider in their investing process:
* Why Paulo looks for commodities or sectors âgoing to sleepâ or being invisible for a while.
* How positioning, sentiment, and narrative impact his investing process.
* Why there is no clear way to express the trade in certain situations.

For paid subscribers, I also talked about recent trades and Navios Maritime Partners $NMM .
Summary
* Some rough thoughts on a recession, rate cuts, and the inverted yield curve.

I decided to keep this one free for everyone so I could experiment with a new format. I wanted to put out a quick update on what I think is interesting right now in the portfolio. Like all of my best ideas, the name came to me at 2:00 in the morning while I was staring at the ceiling waiting to fall asleep.

I had Dave Collum and Tom Luongo on the podcast fairly early, so naturally I was getting questions on when I would have Jim Kunstler on the podcast. Heâs the author of The Long Emergency, and is a sharp commentator on current events, politics, and changes in long term trends. He writes two posts a week on his Substack that are just as likely to make you laugh as they are to make you angry about the predicament America is in today. This episode was recorded before Biden dropped out of the race, so we didnât get into that, but we did talk a bit about what the rest of 2024 has in store for us. You can also watch it on YouTube.
Podcast Summary
* Trump being a lock to win this yearâs election after the assassination attempt.
* Jim talks about demoralization and peak insanity on the cultural front.
* He talks about the Deep State and its outsized influence on current events.

Last week I had Anas Alhajji on the podcast to discuss all things energy. For anyone interested in oil, gas, or coal, you will definitely learn something from this one. We hit on a wide variety of topics, but you can also watch it on YouTube here. We talked about the greatly exaggerated death of the petrodollar, and what would be required for the Saudi Riyal to depeg from the US Dollar. I know that I have listened to multiple podcasts recently talking about the death of the petrodollar, and Anas picks that idea apart in great detail.
He also broke down how energy industry data has deteriorated since 2017 and how misleading headlines have become common in recent years. Anas also explained why he is taking the other side of the so-called renewable (Solar, Wind, and EV) bet. Below is a link from Anas on recent headlines from EV manufacturers. He also talked about the various uses for petrochemicals and how a massive increase in energy demand from things like AI could eventually lead to an energy crisis. His book recommendation, How To Win An Information War by Peter Pomerantsev, ties directly to his thoughts on misleading headlines.
