Jeff Macke is the host of Breakout on Yahoo Finance and was an original cast member of CNBC's Fast Money. He is also the author of Clash of the Financial Pundits: How the Media Influences Your Investment Decisions for Better or Worse, which he talks a little bit about on today's show. In this episode, you'll find Jeff and Jason addressing some Doomsday theories as well as talk about inflation and deflation in currency. 

 

Key Takeaways:

4:50 – Jason is staying at hotels for half of the price because he's been using services like Hotwire.com. 

8:30 – People are having a hard time finding jobs. Investment bankers are becoming Uber drivers just to make some money.  

11:45 – Jeff believes there are plenty of jobs available, just not jobs people want. Jeff says if you get a job you don't want now, it'll help provide you some money and help you work towards something you are passionate about. 

13:00 – Jason is exciting about robotic technology and the self-driving car.

17:30 – Jeff is still nervous about the stock market. The stock market is doing better now, but it's still pretty unstable. 

19:52 – Jeff is not sure if we're going to see a huge inflation in our money, but at the same time he doesn't see how the deflation outcome would work too. 

22:00 – Jason believes it's important to prepare your money for both inflation/deflation scenarios. He explains how to do that in this segment.  

24:30 - Never forget that economics is a social science

Patrick Cox produces unbiased and independent research in the field of transformational technology. He has worked closely with Nobel Prize-winning scientists and economists along with having over 200 of his editorials appear on the Wall Street Journal, USA Today, and more. Patrick shares some insider science to Jason and his audience today and also talks about some very interesting medical advancements the media fails to report on. 

 

Key Takeaways:

4:35 – Conviction and convenience do not live together, so you have to separate yourself from convenience. 

7:10 – If you have plans to do great things, you are bound to find some resistance from your friends and family. 

10:00 – You can't get more in life until you are grateful for what you have today. 

14:00 – Birmingham property tour is coming up and Meet the Masters event is coming up in January. 

18:00 – There's a lot of exciting things going on in science, but you wouldn't know that because the media is very poor at reporting science. 

20:10 – Social security is under estimating our life spans. In reality, people will be living a lot longer. 

24:30 – The government is obsessed with not putting out a drug that may have side effects, which Patrick believes is absurd when so many lives are at stake. A possible cure with side effects is better than no cure when people are dying.  

27:00 – The FDA has not adapted to the new model of how personalized medicine works. 

30:10 – Scientists did tests on a chemical compound called anatabine and found it be the most effective anti-inflammatory agent ever discovered.  

34:00 – There are a number of ways you can rejuvenate the heart muscles when they've been damaged. We thought for a long time that these could not be repaired at all. 

39:00 – The Japanese are leading in rejuvenation medicine because they understand their citizens are getting older and fewer Japanese are being born.  

42:15 – We have the tech crowd pushing against the roadblocks that cutting-edge medicine is facing.
