GOLD at $30,000, China Won’t Accept it, Economic Demolition Just Started | David Collum

from Soar Financially · host Kai Hoffmann

Renowned market commentator and Cornell professor Dave Collum joins us for an unfiltered, no-holds-barred conversation on the forces tearing through the global economy. From the deliberate demolition of economic structures to the speculative insanity around AI and private equity, Dave breaks down why he believes we’re living in a financial illusion, and what comes next. We cover distorted markets, fake job booms, recession denial, and the misunderstood gold narrative. It’s punchy, provocative, and packed with hard truths every investor should hear.---------------👨‍💼 Guest: Dave Collum🏢 Professor of Organic Chemistry, Cornell University𝕏 @DavidBCollum📅 Recording date: March 26th 2025---------------------📆 Save the Date 📆DEUTSCHE GOLDMESSE May 16 & 17, 2025 in Frankfurt, Germanywww.deutschegoldmesse.com FREE Registration for Investors! ---------------------📰 Up-to-Date Commodity Prices & Commentary 📰👉 Clear Commodity Network 👈🌎 https://clearcommodity.net/ 🌎►► Follow Us ◄◄X (Twitter): http://twitter.com/soarfinancialWebsite: http://www.soarfinancial.com/---------------------Timestamps (AI-generated)00:00 – Intro: Welcome Back Dave Collum01:50 – Fake Jobs, Real Hangover: Is a Recession the Goal?05:20 – We’ve Been in Recession for 15 Years?07:10 – The Hidden Risk in Private Debt & Equity10:45 – Are Markets “Bitcoinized”?
