Lobo Tiggre: The Fed Led Monetary Tightening and Will Lead Easing

Tom welcomes back Lobo Tiggre founder and CEO of Louis James LLC. He is the principal analyst and editor of IndependentSpeculator.com and his speciality is in evaluating resource companies.

Lobo starts out by explaining the dangers of believing theories that fit one’s worldview, but cannot be proven. Tiggre’s article “Rationalism versus Empiricism in Securities Analysis” warns against buying into theories peddled by salespeople. He uses the example of central banks buying gold to show how theories can be wrong and hurt investors. He then discusses the example of supply side deficits, and cautions against believing theories of scarcity. He explains why the cost of production does not always act as a floor for commodities, such as copper, during a recession. He cautions against succumbing to theories that sound too good to be true.

Lobo discusses the IMF’s prediction of a third of the world’s economies entering recession in the upcoming year. He voices that there are more negatives associated with the recession than positives in the form of China reopening. The world economy is fragile and there is potential for something to break and cause a new Lehman moment. He also mentions that gold and silver are a good form of insurance during this time of uncertainty and that the ECB may be more hawkish than the Fed in the near future, which could lead to a bearish dollar and bullish gold and silver.

Lobo is also bullish on uranium and is of the opinion that the nuclear renaissance is inevitable and that the green agenda cannot be achieved without it. He warns gold bugs to not be discouraged by the lack of performance in 2022 and encourages them to pay attention to inflation rates and the DXY.
