Wealthion - Be Financially Resilient

Macro expert and money manager Michael Pento returns for part two of our interview with him in which he suggests that the S&P 500 could drop by 30-40% to around 3,000 points if market forces were allowed to operate naturally. This drop would correspond to a severe recession or deflationary period. He expresses concern about the permanent monetization of debt, which could significantly impact infla...

Are you scratching your head at the disconnect between the macro data and current market prices? Are you flummoxed how stocks can be performing so well so far this year when so many economic indicators are at recessionary levels? Is determining how to allocate your portfolio in the midst of these contradictions making your head hurt? If you answered 'yes' to any of these you'll be glad to hear tha...

There is no shortage of opinions out there about where the economy is headed right now. You'll find equally vocal advocates for a hard landing vs a soft landing. And a growing number saying there will be "no landing at all" and a new bull market lies ahead. When there are so many voices at odds with one another, it's useful to look closely at the data and take measure of what simply "is". What are...

The systems that run our economy are only as good as the people running them.

Legendary investor and real estate mogul Sam Zell passed away yesterday. He was a plain-spoken voice of reason and experience, unafraid to speak truth to a market often unwilling to hear it. A lifelong real estate investor, Zell had been selling off many of his properties over the past years as he couldn't justify the high prices the markets were willing to pay. In today's video, we listen closely...

Without prompting, the majority of experts recently appearing on this channel have agreed that gold is looking well-positioned to move higher in price, potentially substantially higher, this year. And that's on top of gold's strong start to the year. It's up nearly 11% since early January and is currently not far from its all-time high. So it's time to take an intentionally close look at the gold...

Even the titans of investing are worried these days. Legendary investor Warren Buffet declared America's 'incredible period' of growth is over at the recent Berkshire Hathaway annual meeting. And Stanley Druckenmiller forecasts a 20%+ decline in earnings in the near term while sounding the alarm over entitlement spending as America's deficits and demographics continue to worsen. What do these caut...

The S&P is up 7% for the year so far. A welcome relief after 2022's dismal performance. So is the market in a new bull uptrend? Or are we simply experiencing a bear market rally off the October lows, one will fail at some point and drag the markets back down later this year? To help us assess, we're fortunate to welcome market technician & portfolio manager Katie Stockton, Founder and Managing Par...

The financial markets enjoyed a banquet of steady stimulus in the decade following the Great Recession, and unsurprisingly rose to unprecedented heights by the end of 2021. But that support was yanked away as inflation became a problem. As a result, 2022 saw painful losses in both stocks and bonds. So far in 2023, the market has been fighting to get back its mojo, with mixed results. We've spoken...

The capital markets became accustomed to an ever-rise tide of the liquidity over the decade of rolling stimulus programs that followed the 2008 Global Financial Crisis. But after reaching its apex during the COVID rescue era, that liquidity suddenly dropped in 2022, and market prices fell accordingly. Here in 2023, many analysts are warning of a further 'liquidity crunch', as central banks continu...

If we care about the future of the economy, then we have to pay close attention to the policies that shape it. We are currently living in an age of extreme -- and in certain cases, unprecedented -- levels of monetary and fiscal policy. Is that wise? Or should market forces be allowed to play out more & free us from the constant intervention of the central planners? To explore this, we welcome econ...

Multiple models predict that the economy will enter recession by Q4 2023 or possibly as late as Q1 2024. Why? Credit is the lifeblood of the modern economy. Without it, nothing happens. And right now, it appears to be contracting. That's likely to result in serious challenges to both economic growth and market prices. Just how serious? To find out, we're fortunate to be joined today by macro and m...
