In this wide-ranging conversation, Don discusses:

* Why record S&P 500 highs near 7,736 does not remove the risk of a Gold/S&P death cross

* Why 7,000 on the S&P 500 is the key level: a break lower likely forces Fed cuts while staying above points to the Fed holding

* Surface economic data looks fine but deep problems in housing affordability, the K shaped recovery, and rising living costs mean many young people cannot match their parents’ living standards

* How The Fed is stuck in a catch 22 and cannot fight inflation while also supporting the economy and stock market

* That Gold near $4,100 and silver near $59 are likely creating attractive dip buying opportunities in mining stocks
