Recorded last week as the market was in full melt-down mode, Chris and Wolf Richter decode the underlying drivers of the sudden reversal, and peer into the future to predict what is most likely to happen next. Both agree that, whether stocks are briefly 'rescued' in the ensuing days, the long-awaited downward re-pricing of the 'Everything Bubble' is nigh.

In this week's Off The Cuff podcast, Chris discusses:

• Regime Change
  • What going on in Saudi Arabia is a huge deal
• We May Not Like What Comes Next
  • The Saudis are getting a lot more chummy with China & Russia
• Rules For Rulers
  • Much of the Saudi shuffling make sense when viewed through that lens
• Observations From Munich
  • Chris reflects on some cultural strengths that caught his eye

Chris has spent much of the past 48 hours analyzing the fast-changing situation on the ground in Saudi Arabia. Why? Because the axis of America's global might revolves in large part around its continued easy access to plentiful cheap oil from that kingdom. But recent developments suggest a shift may be underway — one not in the US' favor. What will the implications be if this proves to be the case?

In this week's Off The Cuff podcast, Chris discusses:

• It's A Mad, Mad, Neo-Con World
  • US foreign policy is becoming increasingly reckless
• The Beginning Of The End For The Petrodollar?
  • China is challenging the dominance of the dollar
• Gold: The Oppressed
  • Perhaps the most suppressed asset in modern history?
• Upcoming PP events
  • Come join us in New Orleans and/or Munich

Chris flies solo again this week to make sense of the many geo-political risks popping up as the long-time axis of global stability becomes more and more wobbily and destabilized. There is much in US policy that appears increasingly reckless, pitting America increasingly against the world's other major powers.

In this week's Off The Cuff podcast, Chris talks about:

• Our Ecological Budget Is In The Red
  • Our short-sightedness is dooming us
• Our Economic Budget Is In Similar Danger
  • Again, we are living way above our means
• Politically, We're Stumbling Badly, Too
  • North Korea, Russia, Syria, domestically…the list is long
• We Can Do Better
  • There are plenty of better models out there, if we look for them

Recording from vacation on a small island in Maine with no power, this is different than our standard Off The Cuff. Chris takes time to reflect on the repercussions of our poor policy choices and how those are manifesting in the world. What makes our mistakes so regrettable in his eyes is that there are clear ways to do things better — we don't need new magical solutions to appear; there are models that work right on the table, ready for use; if only we're bold enough to embrace change.

In this week's Off The Cuff podcast, Chris discusses:

• Market Jitters
  • What will happen if the central banks turn off the money?
• No More Financial Crises "In Our Lifetime"
  • Did Janet Yellen really just say that???
• Our States Are Falling Into Bankruptcy…
  • Illinois, Connecticut, Maine & more
• While The Banks Get Even Fatter
  • Income from excess reserves to rise to $50 Trillion by 2019

This week, Chris takes a moment to share his thoughts in depth on where we are in the global debt saga. The overhang is getting worse, growth is not riding to the rescue as hoped, and the central banks are running out of both smoke and mirrors to keep the game continuing. Should the $200 billion monthly bonanza of central bank liquidity start decreasing — as is now being increasingly discussed — expect markets to go south quickly.
