Wealthion - Be Financially Resilient

The disruption the pandemic has inflicted on global supply chains is really starting to harm consumers. Prices for most items are up double digits in the past year. And product shortages are rampant these days. How much longer is this pain for our pocketbooks likely to last? The world has been watching prices rise dramatically this year across nearly all asset classes -- in large part caused by the $trillions in monetary and fiscal stimulus flooding into the economy as well as the disruption of global supply chains caused by the COVID pandemic. But not only are consumers experiencing rising prices at the store, they're increasingly finding empty shelves, too. On the supply side, things have become so bad that today guest expert, Wolf Richter, has coined the term "The Everything Shortage" to describe the era we're now entering.

They say history rhymes. That civilizations and societies tend to follow cycles -- boom/bust, feast/famine, war/peace, cultural experimentation/a retrenchment to the “old ways”. Neil Howe, the author of the best-selling book The Fourth Turning, lays out his prediction that today’s society has entered the "bust" part of our current cycle -- where the status quo falls apart -- often chaotically -- to be replaced by a new, hopefully better, order. What should we expect from this period of disruption? Are there steps we can take to improve our odds of persevering?

Here in Part 2, famed researcher and demographer Neil Howe, co-author of the best-selling book The Fourth Turning, explains why the weight of history strongly suggests we are headed into a decade-plus period of economic and social disruption that will transform our political, economic, financial and social systems. Volatility will reign. Crushing inflation looks likely. We may see a stock market crash and widespead job losses. Perhaps even war. But as with all preceding fourth turnings, Howe predicts we'll come of it ok. Yes, with some bruises; but likely also with some net improvements for society.

Energy is suddenly headline news. Oil, which traded at negative prices for a brief moment last year due to the global economic slowdown caused by the pandemic, is now expected by a number of analysts to hit $100/barrel soon. Europe is worried about not having enough natural gas to heat its homes this winter. A petrol shortage in the UK is making it a challenge for folks to fill their cars. And prices at the pump are back near record highs in the US. And China and India are so short on coal that major metropolitan power plants are resorting to rolling blackouts to conserve fuel. Why are so many regions of the world suddenly experiencing these energy crises? Petroleum geologist and energy analyst Art Berman has a lot of the answers we're looking for, and I'm so pleased he was able to join us today on such short notice.

Markets have become a lot more volatile recently, violently lurching up and down, and are off nearly 5% from their all-time highs as of a month ago. A growing number of analysts are concerned that this is the start of a larger correction. This year's spike in inflation is proving a lot less transitory that the Fed expected. Supply chains remain badly disrupted. Economic growth is slowing, particularly in Asia where the failures of massive firms like Evergrande threaten to destabilize things further. Energy shocks are suddenly happening all over the world. It's understandable that more and more people are now asking: Is the bull market over? Is a market correction imminent? No - says today's guest expert David Hunter. Or more accurately -- not yet. David is Chief Macro Strategist at Contrarian Macro Advisors. He expects a further final melt-up in the markets from here....to be swiftly followed by a truly massive market crash of up to 80%. We've been closely following David's aggressive market predictions this year, as they've so far mostly proven eerily accurate. So we're very fortunate to have him back on the program to give us the latest update on his current outlook.

Here in Part 2 of our interview with David Hunter, he shares his projections for what the investing environment will look like should the 80% market correction he expects occurs. He foresees a relatively brief period of recovery, defined by very high inflation (20%+!) and interest rates (15%+!). He expects commodities to lead that investing cycle, with many of today's high fliers (like Big Tech), becoming laggards. In his opinion, active investing will be necessary for investors to build wealth in this new era. The era of easy returns via passive index investing will be over.

Gold and silver both had an excellent two year run in 2019 and 2020. But they've spent much of 2021 so far in a downward drift. Which is puzzling given how many tens of $trillions have been injected into the global system by the world's central banks since the pandemic hit last year, and the massive spike in inflation all that monetary and fiscal stimulus has caused. The prices of nearly every other commodity have risen dramatically in response -- but why not the precious metals? And even more interesting is that the precious metals mining industry remains one of the extremely few sectors not trading at all-time bubble-level highs, despite being more profitable than ever. In fact, on a relative basis, it's almost never been more undervalued. To help us make sense of this, we welcomeJeff Clark is returning to the program. Jeff is the Senior Precious Metals Analyst at GoldSilver.com, an expert on precious metals mining stocks, and he's also just returned from The StockPulse Silver Symposium which took place last week -- and in this video he shares the insights he found there.

In the US, the monetary and fiscal stimulus spigots are turning off as the Fed threatens to start tapering in November and Congress devolves into gridlock over both the next stimulus package as well as the debt ceiling. The US currently spends 111% of its tax receipts on the true cost of servicing its debt and the Fed is now chained to printing up the difference. This is a no-win situation. Outside the US, longstanding stable political regimes like Angela Merkel’s party in Germany are voted out of control. And Asia, particularly China, is experiencing a pronounced economic slowdown, exacerbated by failures like the Evergrande crisis.

Here in Part 2, research analyst Luke Gromen provides a breakdown of the asset classes he favors for the current market environment. He also explains why he remains optimistic for the future prospects of both gold and Bitcoin. Luke believes the US will chart a course inflation to deal with its ever-rising debt burden and building resource shortages. The path may well resemble that of Argentina's currency woes in recent decades. As a result, Luke thinks investors will be served by inverting the conventional asset allocation model. Instead of being heavy in bonds and stocks, Luke recommends being lightest in those securities, and instead investing more heavily in commodities and other hard assets See the YouTube Video for the charts and graphics: https://youtu.be/gTWw7Z5XL6Q Learn more about your ad choices.

What’s the government’s solution to an economy drowning in too much debt? More debt, of course! Well, they say there's no bad situation that the government can't make even worse.That seems to be the case right now. The government's extreme intervention has resulted in an economic and financial system now dependent upon ever more stimulus. But suddenly, there are a number of government initiatives -- the Federal Reserve taper, the fiscal stimulus package, a new tax bill, the debt ceiling showdown, and China's economic and regulatory tightening that's leading to crises like Evergrande -- that look like they will reduce the flow of stimulus going forward and create a drag on global growth. To predict what the impact will be on both the economy at large as well as the financial markets, we turn to Ted Oakley, founder and Managing Partner of investment advisory firm Oxbow Advisors.

He also has a lot more to say about the Federal Reserve as well the breaking developments regarding the SEC’s tighter stance on cryptocurrencies.

The world has become a lot more volatile over the past few weeks. Markets are lurching up and down as investors have become suddenly concerned about contagion -- and not just from the new COVID variants, but contagion from the failure of big players in China, like Evergrande, and contagion from rising input costs caused by both stimulus and snarled global supply chains. A mind-boggling amount of money -- tens of trillions of dollars worth of monetary and fiscal stimulus -- has been issued around the world since the pandemic broke out last year. But the global economy is slowing fast, led by Asia -- and China in particular. How can the boost to the economy from such a massive flood of money already be over? How worried should we be? And what are the likely implications? To tackle these important questions, I'm thrilled to welcome Jim Bianco back onto the program.

Suddenly, uranium is in the spotlight - it's price has jumped by over 60% in the past month. When I asked on this program last week if you viewers had interest in hearing an update from an expert on the uranium market, you answered with a resounding YES! So, in this video, we sit down with the man whose fund just moved the market by buying 10 millions pounds of it in the past few weeks. John Ciampaglia is CEO of Sprott Asset Management. His firm focuses on providing the retail market with opportunities to invest in real assets, and it has been in the news of late with the launch of its new Sprott Physical Uranium Trust - which many attribute to the recent price spike in yellowcake uranium. We discuss the current state of nuclear power in the global energy mix, the uranium market, the opportunity it offers investors, and the prospects of the uranium miners. We also touch on new technologies transforming the space, as well as the potential for new types of nuclear energy in the future including thorium-based and fusion.

Global investor Jim Rogers co-founded the Quantum Fund, a global-investment partnership. During the next 10 years, the portfolio gained 4200%, while the SP500 rose less than 50%. Rogers then decided to retire - at age 37 - and has been sharing his wisdom with investors ever since, as well as having some pretty amazing life adventures. In Part 1 of our interview with Jim, he explained why he thinks the worst bear market of our lifetime is fast approaching.

Legendary investor Jim Rogers has seen more market ups and downs than most people alive today. And he has successfully made money -- a LOT of money -- in the process. But given today’s macroenvironment, he’s more concerned about the market’s future prospects than he’s ever been before. In fact, he confidently predicts we will experience a massive economic and financial correction that will result in the biggest bear market of our lifetime. Too much debt. Rising inflation. Currency debasement. Malinvestment. Central bank intervention. Geopolitical stress. The current macroeconomic environment has it all. Rogers predicts collapse will begin in the weaker countries/companies first, and then cascade it way towards the US, eventually plunging the entire system into deep recession, if not a downright Depression. Here in Part 1 of our interview with Jim, he explains how bad he thinks things will get and why. And in Part 2, he shares the asset classes he thinks will fare best in preserving wealth during the tribulations to come.

It’s dealing with a huge and fast-aging population, natural resource scarcity, and increasing financial system instability -- as evidenced by this week’s surprise bankruptcy of the massive property developer Evergrande.

They say those who do not understand the lessons of history are condemned to repeat them. This is not the first time that authorities have intentionally devalued currency in order to stimulate economic growth, or curtailed personal liberties in the name of public safety. The world's central banks -- the Federal Reserve, the ECB, the BoJ and the PBoC -- are all expanding their money supply through inflation and deficit spending. They are fast approaching the point where their only available option to service the expanding pile of debt is to keep printing ever more, ever faster. What does history suggest will be the outcome from these efforts? And what implications will they have for those looking to preserve their wealth? To tackle these questions, we sit down with entrepreneur, investor, world traveler and scholar of history James Hickman to the program.

Dylan Grice warns “Incredibly Stupid” central banks have created “A Recipe For Disaster”. As the continuing $trillions in central bank intervention distort asset prices ever higher, investors are forced to make an uncomfortable choice. Do they ride this wave, and risk being wiped out if it crashes? Or do they seek safety now and risk being left behind as inflation eats away at their capital? Widely-respected fund manager Dylan Grice is choosing to stay in the game...but like many investors today, he hates how dangerous it’s become to do so.

Will gold prices spike higher when the fed tapers? Brian Lundin talks about precious metals and inflation. More and more veteran investors are turning to gold as inflation rises. Just yesterday, John Paulson, who made billions off of his correct prediction of the 2008 housing bubble bursting, urged investors to buy bullion before the world wakes up to how limited the supply of investible gold actually is. Gold has had a volatile month -- first dropping $40/oz in response to the July payrolls report, and then plummeting nearly another $100/oz within minutes in the flash crash that happened in the pre-market on the next trading day. In the past, that kind of trauma would have taken gold months, perhaps years, to recover from. But interesting, gold swiftly returned back to the $1,800/oz level it was at before both these recent insults occurred. Are gold's days of being bullied into submission behind us? To answer this question and provide his outlook for the future performance of gold, silver and the stocks of the companies that mine them, we welcome Brien Lundin onto the program. Brien is CEO of Jefferson Financial, publisher and editor of Gold Newsletter which began publication in 1971 when the US dollar went off the gold standard. Here in Part 1, Brien predicts why a Federal Reserve taper may well indeed serve as the catalyst for the next big upleg in gold and silver prices.

Brent Johnson, CEO of Santiago Capital and creator of the Dollar Milkshake Theory warns that those confident that easy Federal Reserve monetary policy and spiking inflation are destroying the US dollar may be surprised to see the USD strengthen (against other fiat currencies) from here. There's an old saying: "Buy land. They're not making any more of it" Well, you know what they ARE making a lot of more of? Dollars. And Euros, And yen. And yuan. Since the COVID pandemic hit last year, the Fed, ECB, BOJ and PBOC have increased their balance sheets by a collective $11 trillion -- a 50% increase. As our devalued currencies lose their purchasing power, inflation is now raging at a 13-year high, with the price of many essentials for living -- like food, fuel, housing and health care -- up double digits from last year. Where will this end? And what can be done to protect our wealth from this inflation?

Farmland is one of the most attractive asset classes out there in today’s environment. Supply of productive acreage is actually shrinking worldwide, pulling land prices higher over time. And demand for agricultural commodities is robust and growing, heavily insulating farm income from rising inflation. [Original recording date: 6.2.21] And new technologies are bringing economies of scale that both reduce cost and waste while enabling more sustainable and eco-friendly food production practices to be adopted affordably. So, what are the key factors and trends you need to know when investing in farmland? And can you do so without having to buy an actual farm and become a farmer yourself? We invited farmland expert Edward Hargroves of Goldcrest Farm Trust to answer these very questions at the Wealthion conference held a few months ago.

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.

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.

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. We’re making Matt’s excellent interview available to you right now...and just to prepare you, he indeed is hearing very loud echoes of 2008...

[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.
