Transcript
- 0:00Hey everybody, welcome to Ross Basement and I hope you enjoy my
- 0:03daddy show. Are you prepared for financial
- 0:07Armageddon in March of 2024? We're going to examine that in
- 0:14this video. You hold silver, you hold gold
- 0:18to protect yourselves. But what is coming down the pipe
- 0:22in March, when added together, could create a very scary
- 0:27situation for the US economy for U.S. citizens.
- 0:32We're going to dig into it in this video.
- 0:34Maybe it will be a complete nothing burger if you ever
- 0:39noticed that in life, a lot of times all these events that get
- 0:42built up, built up, built up, wind up being a big nothing.
- 0:46However, when we look at everything going on and we
- 0:50consider all the factors that could contribute to some serious
- 0:54financial woes in this country, it becomes very disturbing.
- 0:59Hey, thank you for joining me today.
- 1:01You are the most important part of Ron's basement.
- 1:05It's a big honor for me. When you choose to give us some
- 1:08of your time here in the basement, please subscribe to
- 1:11the channel. Give the video a thumbs up.
- 1:14Now what's the first thing? And nobody's really talking
- 1:18about this is the fact that in March, funding for the federal
- 1:22government will run out again. We could be facing another
- 1:26government shutdown. Now we may have a little giggle
- 1:29and say, well, hey, that won't affect us, that won't impact us,
- 1:33but that does have an impact on the US economy, especially now
- 1:38that the government contributes so much to the economy.
- 1:42But nobody's really talking about it.
- 1:44Is it because they just keep kicking the can further and
- 1:48further down the road? Or possibly, could we see a hard
- 1:53stance by maybe the Republicans because this is an election
- 1:58year? We do have Jerome Powell, who
- 2:01was on 60 Minutes the other night talking about how critical
- 2:05this fiscal situation has become in this country with the
- 2:09national debt and the deficits that are being run.
- 2:11So that's just the first big event heading at us in March.
- 2:17I want to talk about the next big event, but first we want to
- 2:20say thanks to channel sponsor Inbex.
- 2:23They really do. Check all the boxes.
- 2:25If you're looking to get yourself some silver, gold, or
- 2:28platinum, do yourself a favor and check out Pinbex.
- 2:32I was a customer of theirs before they took on sponsoring
- 2:37rons. Basement.
- 2:38I think you'll find what I found.
- 2:40They've got all the bases covered.
- 2:42I think Pinbex is best. And you will too.
- 2:45What's #2 coming down the Pike towards us in March?
- 2:50How about the Bank Term Funding program, The bailout program
- 2:54that the Fed and the Treasury cooked up just about a year ago
- 2:57when we had the massive bank failures that were going on in
- 3:01early 2023? A big relief program, bailout,
- 3:05whatever you want to call it. They are terminating that on
- 3:09March 11th of this year, just at a time when the banks find
- 3:14themselves with Treasuries that still aren't worth anything near
- 3:18their face value and a wave of potential commercial real estate
- 3:23defaults headed at the regional banks.
- 3:25We could see another banking crisis here in the next few
- 3:30months. Again, I don't want to be
- 3:32sounding alarms or saying anything that we it will happen
- 3:36for sure, but we're just looking at everything in aggregate
- 3:41that's going on and it doesn't look real optimistic.
- 3:44What else do we have coming in March, early April?
- 3:49How about the feds reverse repo program?
- 3:52That was the program the Fed put in place.
- 3:55It built up a slush fund essentially of $2.5 trillion.
- 4:01The banks had all this extra cash during that little health
- 4:05crisis that we had back in 2020 when the Fed printed 40% of the
- 4:11US dollars that were ever in existence.
- 4:13The banks didn't know what to do with all the cash, so the
- 4:16federal government set up a reverse repo program that
- 4:19allowed the banks to park that cash with the Fed. the Fed then
- 4:24in the last year has been feeding that back to the banks.
- 4:28I like to call it kind of a stealth QE program.
- 4:32The only problem is the fund, the reverse repo fund, had grown
- 4:36to almost $2.5 trillion at one point.
- 4:40Now it is down 80% with only $500 billion left, and there has
- 4:47been a steady, gradual decline. When that runs out, people are
- 4:52wondering because the banks are getting all that cash and using
- 4:56it to buy U.S. Treasuries.
- 4:58Who's going to be the buyer of all these U.S.
- 5:01Treasuries that need to be issued or renewed in the coming
- 5:06year? I'd like to say thank you to
- 5:08channel sponsor Fortuna Silver Mines.
- 5:11If you're interested in a mining company that mines both silver
- 5:15and gold and does it all around the world, do yourself a favor
- 5:20and check out Fortuna, Silver, Fortuna, silver.com.
- 5:24So we've talked about three factors, but is there more?
- 5:28Yes, there is. We know the federal government
- 5:32could be facing shutdown. We know the bank term funding
- 5:35bailout program is coming to an end.
- 5:38We know the reverse repo program is running out of money, but
- 5:44what about just the general economy?
- 5:47What do we know there? We know layoffs are going up and
- 5:50up and up. And we mean good jobs that
- 5:53people are getting laid off from.
- 5:55When the new jobs that are being created don't.
- 5:58They all seem to be like part time jobs, Things like
- 6:01delivering Big Macs or or Burger King or Taco Bell.
- 6:05Big jobs are going away. Companies like UPS, companies
- 6:09like Citibank, 6 figure jobs with good benefits and people
- 6:14are having a hard time finding comparable work.
- 6:17But on top of that, we also know that general business activity
- 6:22is slowing down. Most recently we heard from UPS
- 6:27who said that their shipping volume was down by almost 8%.
- 6:31Now, we don't want to be doom and gloom everything, right?
- 6:34And maybe this will all turn into a big nothing burger.
- 6:39But one thing we do want to do is be risk assessors, and that's
- 6:43what we're doing. And when we look at what's
- 6:46coming at us, it sure feels like we could see a confluence of
- 6:50factors that could create some very major events in the month
- 6:55of March, maybe into early April.
- 6:58I know one thing for sure. I'll be here for you through it
- 7:01all. Again, thank you for joining.
- 7:03Please subscribe to the channel. Give this a thumbs up and the
- 7:07Super thanks are always super appreciated but number one you
- 7:12be well and I'll look forward to seeing you soon.
