Wealthion - Be Financially Resilient

A concern that many recent experts on this channel have raised is that there is a dangerously high percentage of corporations that classify as "zombie companies". As the cost of debt increases as interest rates rise, the likelihood that these companies could start failing en mass increases. How big of a concern is this? What implications would a mass die off of these zombies have on the markets, a...

Investor and macro analyst Bill Fleckenstein returns for Part 2 of our interview with him, to share his concerns about the current bear market not being over. A veteran short seller who has been on the sidelines for years, Bill is now back actively shorting the market to an extent he hasn't done for a long time. Bill expects things to "get ugly" as Q3 earnings disappoint and 2023 forecasts are dow...

The global economy runs on credit, so when there's trouble in the credit markets, EVERYTHING hangs in the balance. Bond yields have been rising fast around the world this year. So fast in some cases, that things are starting to break. Just this past week, the UK credit market started melting down -- forcing the Bank of England to engineer a desperate rescue by buying 65billion-pounds worth of gilt...

We've frequently commented on this program that it's hard to be an 'investor' over recent years because central planner policy has been by far the big driver of price action. Instead, we're forced to be 'speculators', placing our bets based on what we think those few policymakers will decide to do next. Last week's near-death moment for British pension funds is a classic example of how a change in...

A common refrain among the market experts I talk with is that we can't be 'investors' in the current environment -- instead, we're all forced to be speculators, guessing what Fed Chair Jerome Powell and other The Federal Open Market Committee members are going to decide to do next. Because that's all that matters to price action these days. Like it or not, that's the world we're living in right no...

The US dollar has strengthened so much and so quickly this year that it has become a juggernaut, trampling pretty much every other asset. What repercussions is this creating? And how much longer is it likely to continue? For answers, we turn to market analyst Gordon Long, who just issued a report on this exact topic this morning. https://youtu.be/rP4HTXCrvPk Learn more about your ad choices. Visit...

Simon Hunt returns for Part 2 of this interview to share his forecast on the markets, which is: Rest of 2022: economy slows, inflation comes down, markets sink 2023-2024: central banks pivot, asset prices (and inflation) re-ignite -- this is the "last chance to build wealth" in Simon's eyes -- high inflation + high interest rates (11% range) + war demands grind the economy down 2025-2027: economy...

Today we hear from  Simon Hunt, one of the world's foremost experts on the copper industry. When Simon first appeared on this program back in March, he forecasted that extremely volatile times lay ahead that will be punctuated by fierce rallies & sharp declines -- with the overall trend moving from stagflation to deflation. This seems to indeed be the script playing out here in 2022. He also told...

The lesson to take from the wisdom of Van Halen’s "no brown M&Ms" rider is that having good indicators is key to achieving success.  This is also extremely true for the world of investing, where you are deploying capital based upon an expected future return. How do you determine when it’s a good time to enter into an investment? Once in it, how do you monitor the conditions supporting your rationa...

Last week, financial advisor Lance Roberts predicted the struggle between the bulls and the bears was likely to be decided soon. Well, the bears won decisively this week. Tuesday's continued hot CPI report of 8.3% sent markets on their biggest 1-day plunge in over two years. Evidence of a global recession is mounting by the day. And corporations are now reducing guidance, which will force analysts...

Jim returns for Part 2 of his interview with Stephanie Pomboy in which he explains that, should the Fed pivot back to easing before inflation is fully tamed, it risks re-igniting the CPI back up as high as a horrific 15%   He also shares his reasons for thinking that CBDCs are inevitable -- in fact, already in progress. https://youtu.be/KoVm4BsmSpk Learn more about your ad choices.

Jim is concerned we may be heading into a recession+liquidity crisis similar to what we experienced during the 2008 GFC. A financial crisis spreads just like a virus does. The contagion equation is the same. Shifts in narrative/confidence can cause fear to spread quickly – sometimes creating the bad outcome it’s afraid of (e.g., a run on the bank). Or sometimes the opposite (e.g., asset bubbles)....

Stocks had their worst 1-day decline yesterday since June of 2020. What caused the plunge? And what's most likely to happen next? Is the bear market returning to maul investors once more?

I-Bonds continue to offer a great deal here, especially while the CPI remains so elevated. They currently accrue interest at 9.62%. That's exempt from state & local taxes. Plus your principal is guaranteed by the US Treasury. Who wouldn't want a risk-free high return like this, particularly in today's shaky markets? The knock on I-bonds is the $10,000 per calendar year purchase limit, But there's...

Are the markets laying a trap here? Financial advisor Lance Roberts thinks they may be. In fact, he's concerned over the high degree of uncertainty of the current environment. It's one of the most challenging he's seen in his career in terms of making capital allocation decisions. So what changes is he making right now to his positions? To find out, as well as hear us discuss everything that matte...

Financial advisor Ted Oakley has spent the past several decades helping hundreds of high net worth families manage their wealth. Over this time, he's realized that the families who are successful at maintaining & growing their wealth -- vs spending it all in a single generation -- share important traits in their attitude & behavior.  These commonalities -- like how they treat & teach their childre...

Markets have been sinking after Fed Chair Jerome Powell's tough talk at Jackson Hole last week. Getting inflation under control remains the Fed's top priority, and it's going to be a real challenge. It will require tough medicine that's going to require "pain", to use Powell's words. In rocky times like these, it helps to seek the counsel of advisors who have experienced many past market cycles --...
