Pierre Lassonde: Gold Is Replacing the Dollar & Will Hit $17,250 by 2030

💡 Central banks are stockpiling gold. You can too. Invest in gold & silver with Hard Assets Alliance: https://hardassetsalliance.com/?aff=WTH Legendary gold investor and businessman Pierre Lassonde joins Wealthion’s Trey Reik to reveal why we may be entering the most powerful gold bull market in 50 years. Lassonde, co-founder of Franco Nevada and creator of the famous “Lassonde Curve,” warns that exploding global debt, financial repression, and declining trust in the U.S. dollar are driving gold back to the center of the financial system. He explains why central banks are dumping dollars for gold, how China’s Shanghai Gold Exchange could soon set global prices, and why most investors are still missing out on this opportunity. Lassonde also highlights why silver is poised to outperform, why gold miners remain deeply undervalued, and why it is puzzling that the entire gold sector is still smaller than tech giants like Tesla or Nvidia. Most striking of all, he predicts gold could surge to $17,250 per ounce by 2030, a move that would reshape the global financial order. 💡 Wealthion and SCP Resource Finance will bring together the world’s top silver experts this October in Toronto.

Chris Whalen: Dollar Decline, Gold Surge & America’s Debt Reckoning

💡 Worried about the dollar’s decline and where gold fits in your portfolio? Get a free portfolio review with Wealthion’s endorsed financial advisors at https://bit.ly/4ngRISw The era of U.S. dollar dominance may be coming to an end, and gold is set to benefit. In this Wealthion interview with Maggie Lake, Chris Whalen, Chairman of Whalen Global Advisors and author of Inflated: Money, Debt, and the American Dream, explains why markets are being driven by inflation, not real value, and why America’s growing deficits and debt pose a major risk to investors. Whalen discusses the Federal Reserve’s misplaced focus, the Treasury’s overwhelming power, and how a housing correction and rising long-term rates could trigger the next crisis. He outlines why gold must play a bigger role in portfolios, where treasuries and real estate still fit, and why volatility will create both danger and opportunity in the years ahead. 💡Hard Assets Alliance - The Best Way to Invest in Gold and Silver: https://www.hardassetsalliance.com/?aff=WTH Chapters: 01:10 - Why Chris’s Book “Inflated” Still Matters: Same Problems, Bigger Stakes 05:18 - Inflation is Masquerading as Value 07:21 - End of American Exceptionalism?

Francis Hunt: Silver Could Hit Triple Digits as Debasement, Debt & Stagflation Crisis Escalates

Wealthion continues its August Silver Interview Series with The Market Sniper, Francis Hunt. His message is clear: silver’s time is here. In this powerful conversation with Wealthion’s Trey Reik, Hunt warns that the global debt crisis is spiraling into a full reset, but also explains why silver may be on the verge of its most important breakout in decades. He shows how silver could soon slingshot past $40, break through $50, and race toward triple-digit territory, all driven by fiat debasement, surging industrial demand, and tightening supply. Francis doesn’t just share his views, he walks us through his technical and chart analysis on screen, breaking down silver, gold, the U.S. Dollar, and more in detail. His analysis reveals both the short-term risks of pullbacks and the long-term explosive potential for precious metals. 💡Want to learn more?

Jonathan Wellum: Canada vs. U.S. Stocks: Where Investors Should Put Their Money

Should you invest in Canada or the United States? In this Wealthion interview, RockLinc Investment Partners CEO Jonathan Wellum explains the critical differences between the two markets and where investors can still find overlooked opportunities in Canada. The U.S. dominates with unmatched size, liquidity, and technology leadership, while Canada remains concentrated in energy, resources, and banks. This creates very different risk/return profiles for investors. Jonathan covers: Why the U.S. market is deeper, more diversified, and a global growth engine. Canada’s heavy reliance on commodities, and why this makes returns more cyclical. The impact of currency swings (CAD vs. USD) on cross-border returns. Tax considerations for Canadians buying U.S. stocks (and vice versa). Why U.S. markets have outperformed for decades — and whether that will continue. Hidden Canadian gems like Cameco, Franco-Nevada, and Wheaton Precious Metals, and global firms like Brookfield and Constellation Software. How Wellum allocates today: ~65% U.S., ~35% Canada & Europe. 💡Get our free investing report on silver here: https://wealthion.com/silver/ 💡Concerned about Markets?

Crypto: Way Bigger Than the Internet? | Seth Ginns on DATs, Staking & Crypto’s 10x Opportunity

“I think this could be way bigger than the internet.” CoinFund’s Seth Ginns describes the opportunity ahead for crypto, predicting the market cap could grow at least 10× in the next few years. In this in-depth conversation with Chris Perkins, Seth explains how Digital Asset Treasuries (DATs) are becoming Wall Street’s bridge into crypto, unlocking staking yields, DeFi income, and permanent capital advantages ETFs can’t match. He breaks down how DATs defend against NAV discounts with buybacks, cash reserves, and M&A, and why strong management teams are critical for success. You’ll also hear why institutional flows, macro tailwinds, and a pro-crypto U.S. policy could power massive growth, how AI + crypto could spawn the next wave of DATs, and why a global M2 liquidity signal that leads Bitcoin’s price by ~100 days has him bullish. Plus, Seth shares his vision for an on-chain equity market that could transform capital formation worldwide. 💡FREE access to our 15 Rick Rule Symposium Interviews by signing up for our Accredited Investor List here: https://wealthion.com/accredited/ 💡Concerned about Markets?

Chris Casey: Cannabis Stocks Down 90% — The Ultimate Contrarian Bet?

Cannabis stocks are down 80–90% from their all-time highs, and most investors have walked away. But could that set the stage for one of the biggest contrarian trades in years? In this insightful interview, WindRock Wealth Management’s Chris Casey tells Maggie Lake why he believes the cannabis sector is now trading like a distressed asset in a high-growth market. Despite being a $30B+ industry with widespread legalization in over 40 U.S. states, cannabis companies remain federally shackled by restrictive tax rules, blocked banking access, and a ban on interstate commerce. 🚨 But that may be about to change. Two major catalysts could rewrite the entire investment case: Federal rescheduling of cannabis, removing it from Schedule I classification The SAFER Banking Act giving financial institutions the green light to serve cannabis businesses Key Topics: Why cannabis stocks crashed and what could turn them around The three federal-level obstacles crippling the industry How rescheduling and SAFER could unlock a wave of capital and efficiency The role of big alcohol, tobacco, and pharma in a post-legalization world Why Chris Casey sees this as a “call option on reform” with 2x to 6x upside for market leaders The M&A and consolidation potential when the floodgates open 💡Concerned about Markets?

John Waldie: We’re Only in the 2nd Inning of a Resource Bull Market

Is the biggest opportunity in natural resources still ahead? In this high-conviction interview, John Waldie, Senior Portfolio Manager at SCP Resource Finance, joins Trey Reik to explain why we’re still early in the resource bull market—and where the smart money is moving now. From silver’s breakout potential to rare earths, uranium, and early-stage gold exploration, Waldie outlines why SCP is seeing 3x gains and why investors should pay close attention. Waldie also reveals how SCP’s team moves faster than big banks: getting boots on the ground, spotting major discoveries, and financing them before the rest of the market catches on. He explains how deals like a $400M U.S. Department of Defense investment into MP Materials are reshaping the future of resource supply chains, and why silver could soon leave gold in the dust. Key insights: • Why silver could break through $40, and go much higher • How SCP identifies early-stage deals before anyone else • Why U.S. national security is driving rare earth and uranium investments • The SCP private client model: Access to private placements & asymmetric upside • What central banks, BRICS, and de-dollarization mean for gold’s future • Why generalist investors haven’t arrived, and why that’s bullish 💡FREE access to our 15 Rick Rule Symposium Interviews by signing up for our Accredited Investor List here: https://wealthion.com/accredited/ 💡Concerned about Markets?
