Gordon Phillips explains how technical analysis (using Japanese candlesticks) can reveal when markets are turning, and outlines practical steps to protect retirement savings—such as shifting from equity funds to bond/money‑market funds—and how to time re‑entry.

He also covers using precious metals (especially rare collectible coins) to hedge inflation, storage and privacy considerations, and his academy’s courses on risk management and currency trading.

Every year at this time of the football season Vince & I attempt to preview the AFL finals, mixing sharp banter with match-by-match analysis and predictions for Adelaide vs Collingwood, Geelong vs Brisbane, GWS vs Hawthorn, and Fremantle vs Gold Coast.

The episode covers key issues like Isaac Rankin’s suspension, home-ground advantage, veteran experience versus youth, and ends with bold grand-final predictions and light-hearted rivalry. Join us and try and predict not only who will win in this round but, which team will be holding up the Grand Final Cup.

My guest today is Gordon Phillips and he has just released a 488 page book about life in general, which I found interesting because he speaks not only about the U.S. but the whole world situation, from his school days to his most recent project, the launching an on line school, The Gordon Phillips Academy. In this episode I engage in a thought-provoking conversation with Gordon, a veteran currency trader and futurist. Phillips shares insights from his book, The Risky Reader, exploring global governmental failures and the role of individuals in shaping society. The discussion touches on his unconventional upbringing, the homeschooling of his children, and his perspectives on modern politics and media and his school, The Gordon Phillips Academy. Tune in to explore Gordon's vision of fostering change and resilience through understanding and education.
