Wealthion - Be Financially Resilient

HFT Expert Joe Saluzzi explains how our unfair markets exploit investors like you. Institutional trader and market structure expert Joe Saluzzi explains how the plumbing of today's financial markets works, exposing the unseen parties that profit off of the unsuspecting majority of investors. Dark pools, high frequency trading algorithms, pay for performance -- there's an arms race underway in which both the regulators and general public are hopelessly outgunned. There’s an invisible war being waged in the financial markets every day. Tremendously deep-pocketed and politically-connected players use Big Data, dark exchanges and microsecond trading advantages to exploit daily trading activity.

How High Will The Gold Price Rise? [Original recording date: 5.31.21] Money expert Mike Maloney explains how rampant expansion of the currency supply by the Federal Reserve and other world central banks is setting up the price of gold -- simply mathematically -- to explode higher than most realize is possible. More and more highly-respected investors, many of them billionaires -- like Warren Buffett, Paul Singer, Sam Zell and Ray Dalio -- have increased their exposure to gold over the past 12 months. They’ve done this for many reasons, with rising inflation topping the list. So for those betting on a bright future for gold, how high can the price go?

Market Meltdown Ahead? Will a Minsky moment lead to market crash in the near future? Financial expert Lance Roberts decodes the implications of what Jerome Powell said at the latest Federal Reserve press conference, why inflation will and will not be transitory, and why volatility in financial assets like stocks and bonds will be substantially higher from here. It’s looking increasingly clear folks: The economy has taken on too much debt. Interest rates can’t rise substantially without threatening to crash the entire system. But instead of exercising concern, Wall Street is partying hard with today’s cheap liquidity in a speculative orgy. Unless the situation changes dramatically, Lance Roberts foresees an approaching meltdown moment for the markets that will shatter the complacency of today’s investors. The interview then continues in Part 2, where Lance explains why he’s so confident that caution the bond market is signaling will trump the current exuberance of the stock market. He also shares how he’s currently positioning his portfolio to still be able to invest in today’s markets while protecting against downside risk.

The US dollar has been around for a long time. But will it last much longer? You see, while the US dollar has been in existence for over 200 years, the current fiat version -- which is not backed by any hard collateral like the gold and silver it once was prior to 1971 -- is only now just turning 50 years old. And in the five decades since the US dollar made its debut, our current fiat dollar has lost 85% of its purchasing power. That's been the result of rampant inflation caused by the Federal Reserve and the US government's reckless policies, huge debt build-up and massive deficit spending. At our current rate, how much longer until folks start rejecting the US dollar for alternatives that hold their purchasing power better?

Is a market implosion inevitable in 2022? Will inflation or deflation or disinflation take over? Financial expert Michael Pento talks to us about the Fed, limitations on future stimulus, and the next painful market correction. Suddenly investors are panicked that inflation is taking over. But what if they’re mistaken? Well, that could be a costly mistake if they're betting their portfolio’s future on it. Because there’s a strong case to be made that we’re now actually entering a period of dis-inflation, one that has a high risk of tipping into outright deflation by next year. To argue this, Mento Pento, an expert who clearly pulls no punches, joins us for this video. In this interview, Michael explains why the Fed and Congress don’t have the air cover to continue the same magnitude of stimulus the market is now addicted to -- and thus won’t be able to resume it until after the next painful market correction arrives.

Suddenly, higher prices are everywhere: in food, fuel, housing -- you name it. In fact, the annual Consumer Price Inflation rate (CPI) just spiked to 5.4%, a high not seen since 2008. A growing number of economic observers see these higher prices as the predictable result of the many trillions of new dollars in monetary and fiscal stimulus that world central banks and governments have been issuing in response to last year’s COVID outbreak. We now seem to be at an awkward point where this ongoing stimulus is no longer boosting economic growth much. But it IS still driving prices higher -- rising the cost of living and exacerbating the wealth gap between the very rich and everyone else. Are the central planners losing their control of the system? Fed-watcher and currency expert Axel Merk weighs in on the current situation, the outcome of which will impact our future more than most realize.

[Original recording date: 5.28.21] Thirteen years after the start of the Global Financial Crisis, many of the same excesses that caused it can be seen today, in many cases by the same players. Wall Street is fat with corporate profits again. Governments are flooding the world with oceans of debt. Speculation is back with a vengeance and regulators seem asleep at the wheel. Will history repeat here? Are we setting the stage for another worldwide financial crisis? To answer that, we invited award-winning financial journalist Matt Taibbi to address this very topic at the recent Wealthion conference held in early June.

[Original recording date: 5.31.21] With global central banks printing trillions of new currency these days, the voices claiming that “Cash Is trash” appear to have a valid point. Banks give us no return on cash savings, and inflation is swiftly eating away at its purchasing power. So what is the future outlook for the world’s major fiat currencies? And are there better stores of value we should consider using instead of paper cash? We invited economic analyst Lyn Alden to answer those very questions at the recent Wealthion conference held in early June. If you missed the conference, you’re in luck.

GET THE FREE ARTICLE of Linda's original online post that catapulted her into spokesperson for America's working poor. Simply go to https://wealthion.com/poor It’s true that money does not equal happiness. But the lack of money too often traps people in what’s called the “working poor”, an unhappy state of paycheck-to-paycheck living defined by stress, exhaustion, overwork and a chronic inability to get ahead of one’s monthly bills. Nearly 1 in 3 people in America live in financial insecurity. In this video with Linda Tirado, author of 'Hand To Mouth: Living in Bootstrap America", we take an honest direct look at the challenges facing so many of those living in a perpetual struggle of survival. And why it's so difficult to escape the gravity well of financial need once you're stuck within it. This is a very important and timely topic for our society that is not receiving enough frank discussion today.

TO GET THE FREE REPORT with all of Kevin's charts and data showing the scope and impact of the inventory shortage go to https://wealthion.com/housing In many markets, home prices far exceed the highs of the housing bubble that burst in 2007. Nationwide, they’ve shot up nearly 20% since last year alone, and the average price of a home has never been higher. So what’s driving the fast rise in home values? Are we now in another housing bubble? And more important, are homeowners at risk of another devastating bust in prices? We posed these questions to a housing market scholar…and his answers weren’t what we expected. Less so than the recent $trillions in monetary and fiscal stimulus, Erdmann concludes that a persistent shortage of inventory is the key factor propping up today's elevated housing prices. And he doesn't see any way it can be ameliorated swiftly. What does this mean for homeowners, as well as those planning to buy a home?

Rarely before have asset prices been so high when the future outlook is so uncertain. Where are things most likely to head from here? To answer that question, at the recent Wealthion conference earlier this month, we brought together two of the Internet’s most respected macro analysts -- Stephanie Pomboy and Grant Williams -- to hash it all out for us. Grant sees inflation as the bigger danger while Stephanie is more concerned about deflation. But despite their differing approaches, they both see a lot of similarities in how investors should prepare today for what’s coming next.

Nature moves in cycles. Markets are no different. Ed Easterling of Crestmont Research is a widely respected market cycle analyst who believes that we are in the late stage of one of the longest secular bull markets in history. It has been a relatively tranquil era where it’s been easy for investors to make money without much effort. And it has lasted so long that few people remember what a true secular bear market is like -- the losses, the unpredictability, the fears and dashed hopes. What can we expect if the market indeed turns from bull to bear soon? See the YouTube Video for the charts and graphics: https://youtu.be/DzS-InvqJS4 Learn more about your ad choices.

History shows that most bull markets end in a blow-off top, where prices shoot the moon before correcting hard. Macro analyst David Hunter thinks we’re witnessing the end of the longest-lived bull market in history, which is why he predicts a coming melt-up that will also be one for the record books. BUT, he then predicts the blow-off will be followed by a massive market crash, with asset prices dropping potentially as much as 80% from their highs. And to cap it all off, Hunter predicts that both the melt-up AND the correction will happen THIS year, in the remaining half of 2021. So if his predictions turn out to be correct, we don’t have much time left to prepare… See the YouTube Video for the charts and graphics: https://youtu.be/QwY29NHlpPg Learn more about your ad choices.

Inflation just took a massive spike higher. Just-released data shows core inflation has suddenly soared to levels not seen since the early 1990s. High inflation is a wealth killer. Draining the purchasing power of your income and savings, while crushing you under a rising cost of living. How worried should you be about it now? To answer that, we brought in an expert: a former advisor to the Federal Reserve, whose $trillions in monetary stimulus over the past year are a primary cause of the spiking inflation we’re seeing today. In this video, Danielle breaks down the recent massive spike higher in the core inflation rate data. She then goes on to share her thoughts on which asset classes appear prudent given the highly uncertain environment now facing today’s investors.

The trillions in stimulus that have been issued since the Great Financial Crisis, and accelerated last year in response to the COVID crisis, have resulted in a weakening US dollar and fast-rising inflation. And the Federal Reserve and the current Administration claim they’re committed to pumping out further trillions for “as long as it takes” All this intervention is massively deforming, distorting and disrupting the road ahead for today’s investors. Most of whom are totally unaware of how the rules are changing and totally unprepared for what lies ahead.... In this video, John explains how hard assets -- farmland, gold, silver, commodities as well as the mining, farming and drilling companies that produce them -- will likely be superior wealth protection going forward vs stocks and bonds.

Farmland is a “holy grail” asset class for many investors. It’s tangible, produces income, and has inherent underlying value — making it a great inflation hedge. It’s supply constrained. Mother Nature isn’t making any more of it –and in total, farm acreage around the world is being lost to development, drought, etc. Historically it’s an asset class that produces double-digit annual returns while remaining largely uncorrelated with the stock market, making it a valuable component for portfolio diversification.

“We are on the precipice of the greatest retirement crisis in the history of the world. And that makes perfect sense because, first of all, we have the largest elderly population in the history of the world. Just focusing on the United States: our elderly are woefully unprepared to retire. And in the decades to come we will witness millions of elderly Americans, Baby Boomers and others, slipping into poverty. ‘Too frail to work, too poor to retire’ will become the new normal for many elderly Americans.” So warns forensic pension analyst Ted Siedle.
