Wealthion - Be Financially Resilient

While we often focus on the hard numbers & data when analyzing the economy & financial markets, we have to remember that these systems are ultimately driven by humans. Which means price behavior is a function of behavioral factors like sentiment and confidence. Today, we're fortunate to speak with Peter Atwater, adjunct professor of economics at William & Mary College. Peter is a top expert in how changes in confidence consistently and predictably impact investor preferences, decisions and actions. In this video he shares what his key confidence indicators are telling him about the prospects for 2023. ************************************************* At Wealthion, we show you how to protect and build your wealth by learning from the world’s top experts on finance and money.

With the aggressive return of higher interest rates, the gargantuan piles of debt that world nations owe to each other suddenly become a lot more worrisome. Higher interest rates means higher debt service costs. Which means less money left over for governments to fund their operations. Today's guest, macro analyst Luke Gromen, has long warned that the world has been heading into a massive sovereign debt crisis. Have today's rising interest rates just accelerated the day of reckoning? And what will such a reckoning look like? In this video, we dive deep with Luke for answers. ************************************************* At Wealthion, we show you how to protect and build your wealth by learning from the world’s top experts on finance and money.

Car prices went bananas after COVID hit -- propelled by inventory shortages from disrupted supply chains & the unprecedented stimulus sent to businesses & households. Now here in 2022, the boom may be ending. Used car prices which nearly doubled post-COVID, have fallen for much of this year -- though still remain much higher than their pre-pandemic lows. Also, lax lending standards in extending auto loans during the recent boom are coming back to bite lenders -- the percentage of loans that are at least 60 days delinquent hit 1.65% in the third quarter, the highest rate for 60-day delinquencies in more than a decade. Where is the auto market headed from here? Will patient buyers be rewarded with better values in 2023? To find out, we're fortunate to welcome Charlie Chesbrough, chief economist of Cox Automotive to the program. ************************************************* At Wealthion, we show you how to protect and build your wealth by learning from the world’s top experts on finance and money.

A lot of focus is put on the employment rate by today's economists. And by their measure, the jobs market is still robust, with unemployment, currently at 3.7%, down near all-time lows. However, those calculations completely ignore the 100 million US adults categorized as "not in the labor force" who do not work and are not looking for work. That's pretty much 1 out of every 3 US adults. A good number of those people are retired or are students. Some are caregivers and some are on disability. But a growing number of them, especially men between 25-54 years old, are voluntarily giving up finding work. It's gotten to the point where 1 in 6 prime working age men has no paid work at all. Economist Nicholas Eberstadt calls the rise of this "non-working class" and the associated despair that comes with it, "America's invisible crisis". Nicholas is the Henry Wendt Chair in Political Economy at the American Enterprise Institute and author of the book Men Without Work. We're fortunate to speak with him today about the implications of our deteriorating labor force & the most needed reforms to address it. ************************************************* IMPORTANT NOTE: The information and opinions offered in this video by Wealthion or its interview guests are for educational purposes ONLY and should NOT be construed as personal financial advice.

At the close of the worst years for stocks & bonds combined on record, markets are trying to engineer a year-end rally to convince investors the bear market is over. Is it? And as we enter 2023 where is all this headed? Will asset prices shrug off the growing litany of macro concerns and recover in the new year? Or will 2023 be another bruising year for portfolios? I can't think of anyone better to ask these questions to than today's expert, Felix Zulauf, owner & President of Zulauf Asset Management, who last appeared on this program in early February & made the prediction of a 20% market correction by mid-year, which proved dead-on accurate. Felix manages billions in assets, so he doesn't have the luxury of an opinion without conviction. He has a strong picture of where we are in the current market cycle & is allocating capital accordingly. ************************************************* At Wealthion, we show you how to protect and build your wealth by learning from the world’s top experts on finance and money.

Like it or not, central bank policy remains a principal driver of asset prices in the financial markets today. This year the Federal Reserve and many other central banks reversed years of easy monetary policy and began hiking interest rates & tightening their balance sheets. One of the worst years ever for stocks & bonds has ensued. As recently as last week, Fed Chair Jerome Powell answered comments for the public at the Brookings Institute and, given how they interpreted -- or possibly misinterpreted -- what they heard, the markets roared higher in response. So given its outsized influence, it's always wise to pay close attention to the dynamics at the Fed and assess what it's most likely to do next. To help us in that, we welcome noted Fed-watcher Axel Merk, President and Chief Investment Officer of Merk Investments to the program today. https://youtu.be/dGw2hep7Jcw ************************************************* At Wealthion, we show you how to protect and build your wealth by learning from the world’s top experts on finance and money.

Last week saw a deluge of news – from Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s public comments to several jobs reports as well as new data on the housing market. To get help processing it all, at the week’s end I invited Mike “Mish” Shedlock to join me on a Twitter Space and hash through our thinking together. A rollicking (and quite lengthy) conversation ensured – including a fair amount of Q&A with those who listened live to the discussion, several of whom added valuable “boots on the ground” intelligence to our housing market discussion. The discussion was substantive enough that I think you, our Podcast audience, will enjoy hearing it, too.

We often discuss hard assets on this program as an investment category that can offer protection against the ravaging of purchasing power due to inflation. Gold, silver, energy, agricultural goods, real estate & farmland are frequently mentioned -- but one we've not discussed before is diamonds. While in total valued at more than all the silver, platinum & palladium in the world, diamonds have historically been a tricky investment due to their variance -- no two are exactly alike. Today we learn from Cormac Kinney how his company Diamond Standard is solving that challenge by creating a regulator-approved solution that finally makes the $1.2 trillion diamond market tradeable for both institutional and retail investors.

With inflation starting to head downwards, the markets are getting hopeful the Fed may pivot or at least pause sooner than expected. And while the Fed is clearly hoping to quell any rampant enthusiasm, investors are busy making up their own minds -- which is a big factor why we saw such a massive rally in both stocks and bonds last week after the October CPI number was released. To get an update on the latest of what the markets, especially the all-important bond market is telling us right now, we have the good fortune to be speaking with former bond portfolio manager Alf Peccatiello. https://youtu.be/p8baHKKRYog Learn more about your ad choices.

A seismic event just rocked the cryptocurrency universe with last week's implosion of FTX, the world's second largest crypto exchange. Tens of $billions in client assets and market value have vaporized. And it seems mismanagement, for certain, and possibly fraud and outright theft lie at the heart of this disaster. To help make sense of what exactly has just happened, and what repercussions the collapse of Sam Bankman-Fried's FTX will have on the crypto ecosystem and perhaps on the financial markets in general, we're fortunate to be able to turn to Jim Bianco of macro research firm Bianco Research. https://youtu.be/gShWc1-mrmc Learn more about your ad choices.

What a week! Inflation fell more than expected. The elections were closer than projected. China took steps towards opening back up. And a Russian retreat in Ukraine sparked hope of a coming truce. All served to trigger one of the biggest 1-day rallies in the history of the stock market. While in parallel, FTX, the 2nd largest crypto exchange imploded, creating massive shock waves that are still playing out. Will this rally last? Is the bottom in?

Money manager Michael Pento returns for Part 2 of our interview with him about investing in the current bear market. Michael thinks it could fall by an additional 30-60% over the coming year, depending on Fed policy response to inflation.

So says analyst Wolf Richter in his recent post "The Housing Bubble Has Popped, and the Fed Can Let it Rip" Just how bad may things get from here? We sit down with Wolf to find out. https://youtu.be/71HnRyxfLkY Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The world is understandably panicked about inflation right now. Prices are increasing by double-digit percentages across much of the world. Which is why the Federal Reserve and many other of the major central banks are hiking interest rates aggressively. In fact, just today Fed Chair Jerome Powell warned markets to expect hikes to continue & to give up hope of a policy “pivot”. But despite all this, could deflation actually be the bigger threat we should be worried about? Macro analyst Stephanie Pomboy thinks so. In fact, she expects our current inflation worries will be a distant memory by the end of 2023 because we’ll be then mired in a disinflationary/deflationary morass. To learn her reasons why, watch today’s interview with Stephanie Pomboy. https://youtu.be/gvDn_GcZI8U Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Google & Microsoft both dropped -8% after their earnings calls this week. They're down -29% and -25% for the year, respectively. The FAAMG complex has propped up the major indices so far during this difficult year for stocks. But now that they're beginning to stumble, will they take the markets down with them?

In the wake of the 2008 Global Financial Crisis, central banks drove interest rates down to unprecedented lows and kept them there for the better part of a decade. The world economy then became addicted, some would say dependent, upon a zero-cost capital world. But now inflation is forcing interest rates to rise sharply around the globe, at the fastest pace on record. This sea change in rates is depressing economic growth, shocking the financial system, and resulting in one of the worst years in history for stocks and bonds. To find out where things are likely headed from here, we sit down with the world's top expert on interest rates, James Grant, esteemed publisher of Grant's Interest Rate Observer. https://youtu.be/7aNsPpN1dt4 Learn more about your ad choices.

I conducted an interview on Twitter Spaces the other day about the unfolding catastrophe happening with AirBnb properties across the US. I found the discussion both important & fascinating and really enjoyed the analyst I had it with, a new voice to the financial media space that I think you’ll value getting introduced to. So I’m releasing the interview in its entirety here for you. A heads up, it’s audio-only - so you don’t need to be glued to your screen while it plays. Maybe get a walk in or get some chores done while you listen. Follow Adam on Twitter @menlobear & follow Amy @texasrunnerDFW https://youtu.be/rpB3258i9OA Learn more about your ad choices.

Right now, I-bonds are offering an extremely attractive risk free return, especially given the current high rate of inflation – it’s possible we may never see one this generous again. How generous? If you buy an I-bond today, you’ll lock in a guaranteed annualized rate of return of 9.62% on your money for the next 6 months. That’s more than 2x the return that standard T-bills are currently paying, and it comes with the same security guarantee that you’ll get 100% of your principal back, along with the interest you earned. But time is running out to lock in this 9.62% rate. To do so, you need to buy your i-bonds before this coming Friday, October 28th. If you don’t, the interest rate i-bonds offer resets on November 1 and you’ll only be able to get the new rate after that – which we know now is highly likely to be lower, currently estimated to be 6.48%. Now that’s still not too bad, but it’s ⅓ less than 9.62%. So if you’ve watched my earlier videos on i-bonds like this one explaining how they work and how to buy them using the US Treasury’s TreasuryDirect.gov website – or this one explaining how to use the Treasury’s little known “gift box” to multiply the amount of money you can put into i-bonds at today’s 9.62% rate – if you’ve watched those but still haven’t yet bought any for the 2022 calendar year, consider dropping everything and go buy them RIGHT NOW. And if you haven’t watched those, you should go do so right after this video ends. As for the rest of this video, I’m just going to provide a few quick clarifications to questions that have come in over the past few weeks about i-bonds. https://youtu.be/2johvdSAvO8 SCHEDULE YOUR FREE PORTFOLIO REVIEW with Wealthion's endorsed financial advisors at https://www.wealthion.com Learn more about your ad choices.

The signs the global economy is heading into recession continue to mount. If you haven't seen them, you're about to. Tavi Costa of Crescat Capital has put together a chart series that visualizes the economic slowdown clearly. And on the day we recorded this interview, Bloomberg Economics revealed its models now predict a 100% probability that a recession will hit within the next 12 months. So how bad will it get? What will the impact be on markets? And are there opportunities for investors to protect and possibly prudently grow their wealth as the recession unfolds? We'll get Tavi's answers to all of those questions. https://youtu.be/0AfoFnBpPkg Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

As many recent experts on this channel have lamented, it's hard to be an investor in today's market when the price action of securities is driven far more by Fed policy decisions than underlying company fundamentals. As a result, the global investor community is reduced to speculating on what Jerome Powell and the 11 other voting members of the FOMC -- the Federal Open Market Committee -- decide to do next. To better understand the inner world of the Fed, I've recently interviewed former Fed senior economist Lacy Hunt, former Fed advisor Danielle DiMartino Booth, and Fed policy journalist Pedro de Costa. Today we add to that list by sitting down with Joseph Wang, a former senior trader on the Fed's Open Markets desk. He understands the plumbing of how things work there intimately. https://youtu.be/gJckslmxbFw Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Fan-favorite forecaster Marc Faber returns for Part 2 of our interview with him to focus on which assets he thinks investors should consider to protect their wealth through the turmoil he sees ahead. Diversification is key in Marc's eyes, though he does think that having large cash reserves right now is particularly prudent. He's a fan of short-term government bonds & gold -- but he expects most other assets to take a walloping in the coming months. https://youtu.be/B6JbqnPDuss Learn more about your ad choices.
