Greetings from lovely Carlsbad, CA and Day 1 of the Casey Conference, Navigating the Politicized Economy.
I will have much to report to you on the conference in the coming days, but today I want to share a video with you—I was interviewed yesterday by the awesome and intelligent Lauren Lyster on RT’s Capital Account TV program:
We discussed everything from the $16 trillion debt to Austrian economics to government statistics and more…and I closed by giving viewers four ideas they can implement today to start taking control of their financial future.
I hope you enjoy it…please let me know what you think in the comments!
To your financial success,
—Kung Fu Girl

Congrats Susan! You are doing a great job.
Thank you Vijay, I really appreciate that!!!

Wow! Kung Fu Girl and Lauren of the Perfect Posture. I first noticed Lauren Lyster over a year ago for two things: the posture and the fact that she asked intelligent questions. The quality of questions separates the wheat from the chaff–or, in this case the truly knowledgeable from the posers. She doesn’t like to have posers on her show. Really good interview, Sifu!!!
Thank you George!
Yes, Lauren is awesome, and I really enjoyed being on the show. Thanks for your nice comment!

Congrats on getting on RT. Would love a behind the scenes report on how that happened.
As others have said great to see a face and hear the voice behind this site and you presented yourself very well on camera. Definitely some good advice for all of the viewers out there.
Hi Michael!
Thanks so much…I was nervous
but I’m glad it went well and I loved talking with Lauren and being on the show– she’s great!
The behind the scenes story is that I met the D.C. producer at the Agora Financial conference in Vancouver– he was interested in my site and concept and it resonates with their audience because they are a great alternative news site and he loved the fact that I empower people instead of just predicting constant doom and gloom like so many out there.
That was it…he followed up afterwards and I was very, very honored to be on!
Thank you for your nice words!

Very inspiring interview for myself being new to investing I was encouraged that you can come back from a lose. I lost 65% on my first investment and at 53 its a big hit to take but I see I’m not alone and that you Susan came back stronger and more determined .
Thanks
Mike
Hi Mike,
Absolutely you can come back from a loss! In all honesty, that’s what kung fu is all about…it’s the battle of the underdog against the much-more-powerful evil overlord!
It’s not easy, but it is IMMINENTLY possible and just takes Bruce Lee’s three keys to success: persistence, persistence, persistence.
Welcome to Kung Fu Finance, and thanks for your nice words!

You go, KFG! You did great on TV! Glad you were able to help educate more people. Probably lots of new subscribers now, too. =)
Thank you Ivan!
Thanks very much for your nice words!

Great to see you in person, KFG! You make sense of the insanity!
Thank you Kung Fu Grasshopper!

Dearest Kung Fu Girl,
Great interview, articulate, fast informative, well done. Now I see how you write so much, you talk and think quickly and clearly.
You commented on so many things, it is hard to sift through so much information. So many areas so many points it takes time to learn and understand.
I have lots to communicate but not here. I am in Colorado, you now are in Carlsbad,CA. I thought about attending the conference but time and money were an issure. Too bad my sister lives in Carlsbad, and my Mother in Oceanside. Would have been a great place for me to attend such a conference.
Now here is a scary point you might address. I have a family member retired military pension, in a few years will recieve Social Security, a small bit of 401 k funds, and military medical.
That is a very scary proposition for retirement. All Government related funds. Whew. think about it.
Steve
Thank you Steve!
That is so nice of you.
And I would LOVE to meet you in person sometime so if I’m ever in the Colorado area I’ll let you know (I was supposed to be at FinCon12 in Denver, but it was at the exact same time as the Casey Conference so that didn’t work for me this year).
Yes, yikes, so scary for your family member! And yet, such a common story….more than 1/2 of all Americans are now supported by the government in some fashion– it’s scary and sad.
Thank you so much for your kind words!

Fabulous!
Thanks Anarkat!

Hi KungFuGirl,
I have been a Lauren Lister fan for the past 6 months or so
and saw you today for the first time. You’re both very attractive Ladies and
Smart Too!! I enjoyed your comments and found them very interesting and infomative. I love all things Bruce Lee and love your Kung Fu Finance concept. You have a great website here and community of followers.
I’m glad I stumbled across this site thanks to your appearence on Capital Account!!
Thank you Jerry, and welcome to Kung Fu Finance! I’m so happy to have you here, and thanks very much for your nice words! I love Capital Account, too, and it was great to talk with Lauren!
Thanks so much, and welcome!

I just finished Think and grow rich and would like to thank you. My weekend capital account watching found me inspired by your story. Thank you for steering my Saturday afternoon to going back to the unread yet pile of my bookshelf that I build out of the reference/recommended pages of books i like and recommendations from people I admire. Its been sitting there so long on my incorrect suspicion that it was more get rich quick than what it truely was…such a resonating book.
Thank you Jake!
Yes, I loved Think and Grow Rich, and also Creature from Jekyll Island and all of the Kiyosaki books….and many more. I’m so glad to have you on board– welcome to Kung Fu Finance!

Hi Susan,
Just wanted to let you know this was an awesome interview. Although I’ve had this same mindset for more than a few years now, people need to wake up and listen to what successful like-minded people like you are saying. You did a GREAT job helping the average joe understand what’s REALLY going on in this world.
It’s also great to finally see you speak in person. I’m part of the ETR mastermind with Craig and Matt so I’ve heard nothing but great stuff about you. You’re doing an awesome job with this blog girl! Keep. It. Up.
enthusiastically,
Shaun
Thanks Shaun!!!
I really appreciate it! Yes, I *LOVE* Craig and Matt– they are bang up guys and I have heard great things about YOU, too!
We will have to connect in person sometime!
Thanks so much for your nice words…

Just caught your appearance on the Capital Account archives – great interview. The interview prompted me to check out your website and I got an oh wow moment when I saw you conducted the interview from the Casey Conference in Carlsbad. Unfortunately, I didn’t attend the conference but I was at the Sprott Assest Mgmt Office opening in Carlsbad on the 6th of Sept. A lot of folks attending the Casey Conference were also there; maybe you were too. Anyway, look forward to following Kung Fu Finance.
Hi Lisa,
YES, I was at the Sprott Open House in Carlsbad on 9/6! I probably saw you there! (I was the blond drinking lots of red wine….LOL).
Shoot I wish I had known I would have loved to have met you in person. Next time for sure!
Thank you for your nice words on my interview, and welcome to Kung Fu Finance!

Another great site with Zerohedge is GoldenJackass.com written by Jim Willie. Great info you will not find anywhere else with a side of sarcastic humor.
Thank you Fish!
I will definitely check that out…I’ve heard of Jim Willie and read some of his stuff, but haven’t been to that site– thanks!
Thanks very much, and welcome to Kung Fu Finance!

Hi KFG, any chance you could persuade Lauren Lyster and/or Max Keiser to do a special on EXIT STRATEGY as it pertains to picking the right time to sell gold/silver? I mean if it holds its value relative to inflation, fine, but why would you want to exchange it for fiat funny money which would be rapidly declining in value? If alternatively things pan out in such a way that PM prices go crazy i.e. $5-10k per t oz for gold (if our superiors in the central banks allow that to happen in the first place) then again how are you going to profitably cash out into a dead money system?
They could also discuss CONFISCATION which will almost certainly be an option considered if said price scenario does start to unfold. The banksters could instruct their puppet media and politicians to demonize physical gold & silver holders and then drop hints about the “necessity” of curbing this antisocial behaviour by confiscating personal gold and silver assets. The price would then immediately go through the floor as intended. Do you agree that these two points need to be examined more deeply?
