Wealthion - Be Financially Resilient

On Wall Street it's often said the bond market is where the smart money resides. After decades of rising prices and declining yields, a secular reversal may now be in play. Yields have been steadily rising since the pandemic lows in 2020 and now the Federal Reserve and other world central banks are embarking on interest rate hikes. To find out what the bond market is telling us about the future it sees ahead we welcome macro analyst and former portfolio manager Alfonso Peccatiello to the program.

Elon Musk, founder of Tesla and SpaceX, and Warren Buffett, Chairman of Berkshire Hathaway, have both held the top honor of “World’s Richest Person”. Musk currently retains the title at around $220 billion in net worth. Buffett hasn’t held it since 2008, though he’s still doing OK – he’s current fifth on the list at around $120 billion. These two moguls have extremely different personalities and approaches to building wealth – Buffett the avuncular oracle with a slow and steady hand on the tiller, Musk the brilliant and reckless maverick. Those differences have sometimes spilled into the headlines, with the media eager to sense a feud between these two titans. Famously, Buffett has referred to Bitcoin as “rat poison squared” while Musk has often endorsed it and other cryptocurrencies. But based on recent comments both have made, they both agree on the following: inflation is becoming a real problem.

As the Russian invasion into Ukraine continues into its 3rd week, despite the world's hopes for resolution uncertainty continues to grow. What will the geopolitical situation look like after a cease-fire is declared? IF one is declared. How badly will the trade disruptions with Russia worsen inflation, given Russia's role as a top exporter for many key commodities? Are we weakening the US dollars' role as the global reserve currency by giving other nations cause to accelerate their efforts to de-dollarize? The cost of capital is increasing as interest rates are on the rise -- right as we anticipate the Federal Reserve to kick off a new era of Quantitative Tightening at its meeting this week. Are a further correction in the markets and possibly a recession now more likely as a result? To help us understand what is likely to emerge from all this swirling uncertainty, we welcome Peter Boockvar, Chief Investment Officer at Bleakley Advisory Group and Editor of The Boock Report.

Bonds, stocks, real estate - nearly every asset class is in a speculative price bubble claims legendary investor and hard assets guru Jim Rogers in Part 2 of our recent interview with him. Commodities are the one exception. Even after the dramatic price spikes seen recently in oil, gas, wheat, gold, silver, etc -- Rogers still calculates they are dramatically undervalued relative to all other assets.

As inflation spiked over the past year, commodity prices started rising dramatically from their multi-year lows. But following the outbreak of war in Ukraine, the prices of all major commodities -- from oil to gas to gold to nickel to wheat -- have positively gone berserk, with many up 20-40% (and some a lot higher) in just the past week or two In trying to understand where things are headed, I can't think of a better expert to consult than Jim Rogers, legendary international investor, financial commentator and author of several books including the best-seller "Hot Commodities" Well, commodities are so hot right now they're nearly thermonuclear.

Suddenly commodities -- oil, natural gas, wheat, gold, nickel, uranium, you name it -- are at the epicenter of the world's focus. They've now been weaponized in the recent international response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The US and its allies are enforcing embargoes against Russian exports, while Russia simultaneously tells the West it won't sell to them anymore anyways. Given that Russia is a top world supply of many key natural resources, the prices of many commodities are going ballistic. A number of them leaping by over 20-40% over the past week alone. Thank goodness natural resources expert Rick Rule is able to join us today to help us make sense of the frantic action currently playing out before our eyes.

According to today's guest, energy expert and petroleum geologist Art Berman, the world is now experiencing an oil shock -- the magnitude of which we've rarely seen before. Oil prices had risen tremendously over the past two years off of their 2020, but the recent outbreak of war in Ukraine has propelled them into a higher orbit. The trade embargoes currently under consideration against Russia in response to the invasion sent oil futures briefly up to $139/barrel last night. That's nearly twice the price oil traded at the start of the year, just two months ago. And it's not just oil. The price for natural gas in Europe has increased 5-fold since 2020. How much worse is the situation likely to get? And what economic repercussions will these runaway energy prices cause?

So far, 2022 has brought hot inflation. Slowing economic growth. Shaky financial markets. And now War. And we're only two months into the year so far. Will things start getting better? Or are even worse times ahead? To learn the answer, we seek the counsel of Dr Marc Faber, PhD in economics, author and long-time Editor and Publisher of the Gloom Boom Doom Report.

The world has quickly become less stable over the first 2 months of 2022. Financial system stability, especially in the all-important bond market, was eroding at a concerning pace prior to last week, but Russia's recent invasion of Ukraine is serving as an accelerant to the situation. The severe economic sanctions being applied against Russia, including banning it from the SWIFT international payments platform, are near-certain to create painful consequences for ALL parties involved. To give us an understanding of the key risks to monitor, we welcome market analyst Gordon Long to the program. Gordon has issued several recent warnings about the credit markets in his latest investor letters and I'm eager to hear him explain why.

With the world issuing new economic sanctions on Russia following its current incursion into Ukraine, the value of the Russian ruble, as measured in dollars, is plunging News reports abound of Russians scrambling to exchange money for dollars, though Russian authorities are putting measures in place to thwart that. We're fortunate to be joined briefly here today by Brent Johnson, fund manager at Santiago Capital who is well-known for his Dollar Milkshake Theory which predicts that as instability and crisis occurs in the world, it will drive demand for the US dollar -- which we appear to be seeing playing out in real time right now.

This video is a fascinating update to the field trip I took back in December to see the world’s largest crystalline gold nugget. Mining analyst Jeff Clark and had I traveled to Ironstone Vineyards in Murphys California to see the Crown Jewel, a remarkable 640 troy ounce crystalline gold nugget, which at the time, we were informed was the largest in existence in the world. But soon after the video of our road trip aired, I received an email from a private collector informing me that he owns a crystalline pure gold nugget that is 45% larger. It’s on display at the Perot Museum of Nature and Science in Dallas, Texas, and he invited me to come see it with him whenever I was next in town.

Geopolitical risk has been relatively subdued as an investment theme over the past decade. But it’s now moving quickly to the forefront, as today’s headlines about Ukraine, Russia and NATO make clear. There’s another, much more quiet and poorly understood threat that I want to bring to your attention today. It was raised by macro analyst Luke Gromen at last month’s Wealthion conference, where he explained that China is exploiting the US dollar system to lock up a growing number of key global resources. In Gromen’s words “China is conducting an LBO of the world using the Eurodollar system, backstopped by the Federal Reserve and protected by the US military” They have basically hacked the game America forced everyone to play, and have bent the rules to their interest. As Luke says, Nobody’s a bigger fan of the US dollar system than China, except for a few politicians and CEOs getting rich of the current scheme.

Doomberg returns to remind us that "energy is life", and when you mess with energy, you mess with all of the systems we depend on.

Inflation is now raging, largely due to the record $trillions of new money the Federal Reserve has issued in monetary stimulus while keeping interest rates at historic lows. As central banks around the world conduct the greatest monetary experiment in human history in real-time around us, it's important to keep the Bullwhip Effect in mind. The mathematical odds that the world's many central planners, with their manifold partners in distributing fiat liquidity, are going to have the finesse to successfully steer their ships to safety through the shoals of inflation and deflation that threaten on either side, are very low. And that's before taking into account the unintended consequences of their more extreme measures. Bottom line: If another liquidity crisis hits (which many of the experts I interview every week on this program worry is a real possibility in the future), the one thing we can count on is that the response from our leaders will be ill-fitting to the situation.

Volatility continues to reign in the markets. After one of the worst January's on record, stocks have started rallying sharply -- but only after a period of intense chop that bruised and confused bulls and bears alike. Where is all this headed? Will markets shrug off the growing litany of macro concerns and power higher? Or will 2022 be the year the asset bubble bursts for good? Today's expert, Felix Zulauf, owner and President of Zulauf Consulting, 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 and is allocating capital accordingly. Felix predicts markets will correct by 20% or so over the coming months as the Federal Reserve embarks on hiking interest rates. But he then expects the Fed to reverse its stance and adopt more dovish policies by summer, which will resume the bull market in stocks through 2024.

As volatility increasingly roils markets this year, which assets should perform best/worst? Highly-respected investor Felix Zulauf, owner and President of Zulauf Consulting, predicts markets will correct by 20% or so over the coming months as the Federal Reserve embarks on hiking interest rates. But he then expects the Fed to reverse its stance and adopt more dovish policies by summer, which will resume the bull market in stocks through 2024. These two opposite trends will impact the prices of stocks, bonds, real estate and gold very differently at different points along this progression.

A lot of people regard the Federal Reserve as omnipotent. But it’s not. The bond market is more powerful. And its days of deferring to the Fed’s wishes may soon be over. Should that happen, all heck will break loose in the markets. And bond yields are now rising as the Fed accelerates its tapering, on the way to then raising interest rates. The last time today's guest expert was on the program, he warned that the bubble in financial asset prices would be popped by "trouble in the bond market". So, with interest rates now on the rise, how close to "trouble" are we now? See the YouTube Video for the charts and graphics: https://youtu.be/WcAfR9oOqpk Learn more about your ad choices.

Here in Part 2 of our interview with contrarian macro analyst David Hunter, David reveals the assets he thinks will perform best during the 40% meltup in the markets he sees ahead (all the way to 6,000 on the SP500). He expects most assets to do well, but in particular, he thinks Big Tech, semiconductors, base metals, commodity producers, autos, airlines and precious metals and miners have bright prospects. He then does the same for the assets that he expects will perform best in the 70-80% market crash he sees happening in the back half of 2020. For this stretch, he think long-dated US Treasurys, the dollar, and cash will be best to own.

In early December when the markets were hitting new high, contrarian forecaster David Hunter predicted that the SP500 would soon correct by 10%. And that’s exactly what has happened this month, with his downside target of 4300 getting hit in Monday’s washout. He now expects the mother of all meltups to follow over the next several months raising the SP500 index all the way to 6000...to then be immediately followed by an 80% market correction. Bold calls for sure. Will the prove correct the way this other recent forecasts have? See the YouTube Video for the charts and graphics: https://youtu.be/o7_zUYCDjoo Learn more about your ad choices.

The prospects for companies in the gold mining sector have rarely ever looked better. Balance sheets are strong, management is experienced, outlook for the underlying gold and silver precious metals is optimistic, and many of the big players are nicely profitable and have solid cash flows.

With inflation now at a 40 year high, all eyes on the Federal Reserve. Will they be able to tame today's hot inflation with higher interest rates?

We've all seen energy prices skyrocket over the past year -- for the oil and natural gas that heat our homes, the electricity we use, and the gasoline we put in our cars. And certain parts of the world have been concerned about simply getting "enough" energy -- at whatever the price -- to see them through the winter. Why did energy suddenly become so in demand, and how did it get so expensive so quickly? How soon until they come down again? WILL they come down again??

Macro analyst Jesse Felder is concerned about persisting inflation in the years ahead, yet mystified that the assets he thinks are the best investments that protect against inflation are dirt cheap right now.

By tapering and then raising interest rates, is it possible the Federal Reserve is intentionally trying to cause a market correction? Macro analyst Jesse Felder thinks so, as it needs to start taming both the asset bubble and inflation monsters it has created. Felder suspects though that this will be more difficult than the Fed thinks, and things could get out of hand -- leading to a full blown market crash and possibly a recession.

With the recent dramatic expansion of world currency supply and high inflation now eating away at the purchasing power of our money, is hyperinflation – true currency destruction – a possible risk in the future? The world’s major central banks have increased the global currency supply by nearly 50% since the pandemic hit less than 2 years ago. Add in the additional trillions of dollars worth of fiscal stimulus issued recently by national legislatures around the world, and it's little surprise that price inflation is now raging. In short, our currency is losing its purchasing power at an alarming rate. So in this video, we talk with sound money advocate James Turk, the founder of GoldMoney, to understand exactly what's going on. How much worse is this loss of purchasing power likely to get?

2022 is officially here and investors are wondering what this new year has in store for us. How about a 30% market correction and a global recession? Inflation, Federal Reserve tapering and interest rate hikes have changed the game. Stocks, bonds and most other assets should decline in price this year as authorities have no other choice but to end stimulus and tighten. Highly-respected money manager Michael Pento expects a correction of 30%+ to arrive in Q2 this year, which will then trigger a credit crisis, leading to a recession.

In Part 1 of this interview, Saxo Bank Chief Investment Office Steen Jakobsen explained why Fed Chair Jerome Powell announced this week that -- to fight the inflation it has played a central role in creating -- the Federal Reserve will accelerate its tapering program and likely hike interest rates three times in 2022. Because the Fed will suddenly now pursue a more hawkish course than the markets have been accustomed to for the past decade, Steen predicts 2022 will be a much more volatile year for stocks, bonds and other financial assets than investors are used to. Here in Part 2, Steen reveals that "diversification" will the be secret to surviving the market turmoil that is likely to ensue. He then generously breaks down how his portfolio at Saxo is allocated for the road ahead in 2022.
