The SIC 2014 Audio Collection is your de facto ticket to the speeches and panels heard on stage at this most impressive investment conference. Geopolitical risk, QE, bond yields, gold, the US dollar, the EU, and more topics were discussed in detail.
Here is a rundown of the speakers and topics you will hear when you receive your personal copy of the SIC 2014 Audio Collection.
John Mauldin implores his audience to evolve from Homo sapiens to Homo rationalis in his fascinating walk through history, and a detailed explanation of how change will impact our lives faster than ever. Those of us who are not prepared for the rapid pace of change risk being left behind—intellectually and financially.
Perennial favorite speaker Dr. Lacy Hunt of Hoisington Investment Management asks the question (and then answers), “Did the Bernanke Fed Do the Right Thing and Will the Yellen Fed Be Any Different?” If you’ve been confused up to now as to why deflation poses a threat to our economy, you’ll clearly understand after listening to Lacy’s research-rich presentation.
Bloomberg Economist Rich Yamarone detailed his “Fab Five” economic indicators. Rich looks at the real world beyond Wall Street to get an early read on economic activity. Find out what Rich’s indicators reveal, as they are not in line with the “all is rosy” sentiment.
Rich Yamarone was joined on stage by his opposite, David Zervos of Jeffries, LLC. David’s message was simple: don’t fight the Fed. He believes there are only two possible outcomes to the Fed’s actions: a replay of the 1970s, or a new era of 1990s-like prosperity and growth. He explains why there should be “no haters” in the investment community.
David Rosenberg, senior economist at Gluskin-Sheff, outlines in amazing detail why he believes growth in the US will continue, if one key investment activity picks up steam. And if it doesn’t, he details what may be in store for growth prospects. With that caveat, Rosenberg lists the sectors he currently favors for investment.
Stephen Moore of the Heritage Foundation shared the stage with George Gilder for a discussion on prosperity and capitalism, and how they go hand in hand.
Moore believes “The US is one election away from the biggest economic boom in history.” He also revealed exactly what happens to your tax dollars when they arrive in Washington.
Niall Ferguson, professor of history at Harvard, expanded on themes introduced in his latest book, The Great Degeneration. This included his view on US isolationism and the state of the US’s institutions, government, and culture. Ferguson has the uncanny ability to transport the listener back to the halls of college in a way only the best thinkers and teachers can.
Anatole Kaletsky of GaveKal Dragonomics posed the question, “Is this the beginning of the end, or the end of the beginning?” He then presents his case for the development of a structural bull-market that could last well into the next decade.
Neil Howe, author of The Fourth Turning, turned his analysis of generational traits and trends to the largest country in the world. To truly understand what will happen in China (and therefore, the world) in the coming decades, one must pay attention to the demographics and generational ideals of the country. Howe analyzes China from a rarely heard, but absolutely critical perspective.
Dylan Grice of Aeris Capital laid out the types of investments he believes are most attractive today, and clarifies the role of gold in today’s society.
Gary Shilling explains why rapid growth in the US economy is within reach, as the deleveraging cycle nears its end. Technology will play a key role in this new growth cycle.
Jonathen Tepper, coauthor with John Mauldin of Code Red, joined Grant Williams, author of Things That Make You Go Hmmm… for a tour of China, Europe, and Japan, where both have years of experience in the markets. They agreed that Europe is currently in a period of irrational calm and complacency—the sort that often precedes a crisis.
If there is another European financial crisis, the impact will be felt across the globe. Their analysis of China and Japan had the room murmuring with (justifiable) concern.
Ian Bremmer, NYU professor of political science and president of Eurasia Group, details why Russia has become so aggressive, and how the US completely misjudged Putin. Bremmer is the missing link between politics and economics. His geopolitical overview reveals the specific regions he believes are poised for long-term growth in the years ahead, and the types of investments he currently finds attractive.
Paul McCulley, former senior partner of PIMCO and longtime SIC speaker, made the Keynsian case for QE and Fed activity. While many in the crowd disagreed, he made an eloquent argument for the long-term stability of the US dollar, based on one key characteristic.
Patrick Cox, editor of Transformational Technology Alert, gave a fascinating talk titled “The Curse of the Alchemist”—exploring tech advances over the past 500 years. He previewed some of the companies that may help solve the biggest demographic challenge in our world’s history—how human civilization deals with technological advances, extended lifespans, broken mortality tables, and expanding social programs.
These speakers are some of the world’s top independent thinkers. They shared their insights on the capital markets, economy, geopolitics, technology, and much, much more.
Each speaker is a keynote headliner in his own right. They came not just to speak from the podium, but also to listen and learn from the other speakers, and to spend time chatting one-on-one with the audience members. They represented the perfect mix of trader and economist, historian and futurist.
-Gold is the ultimate hard currency, and it’s cheap(er than it was). It’s the oldest form of savings.

For CD Player
WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
