Wealthion - Be Financially Resilient

Here at the mid-point of 2022, investors are assessing the terrible first half of the year and wondering what the second half will bring. And as we peer ahead right now, the stormclouds outnumber the sunbeams. Measured inflation remains hot. And recession and stagflation are on everyone's lips -- it seems a foregone conclusion to many at this point. The Fed remains committed to raising the cost of capital. And Q2 earnings calls are about to begin: will companies announce downwards revisions to their forecasts, thereby sending stocks even lower? To address these important topics, we're fortunate to be joined by monetary expert and economic researcher Jeffrey Snider, now of Eurodollar University. He's at the top of the list of experts the Wealthion audience has been asking me to bring on the program and I'm thrilled he's finally been able to join us. https://youtu.be/g1ll7kxkun0 Learn more about your ad choices.

Despite starting the year off with stunning price increases, many commodities and the share prices of the companies that produce & service them have been beaten down over the past two months. Many bruised resource investors are wondering if the worst is now over, or yet to come? If you’re one of those folks, I’ve got good news for you.  Veteran hard asset investors Rick Rule and Brien Lundin are both so excited by the future prospects of this sector that they pulled together an impromptu webinar this week to update their respective followers on why they think the current price action is a cyclical correction in a much larger secular bull market for commodities – meaning it’s offering a chance to buy in a very attractive valuations before prices resuming rising up to new highs . Rick and Brien asked me to moderate the discussion, and because I did, they’ve kindly agreed to make the footage of the full event available to the Wealthion audience here. https://youtu.be/wFjbFkNxtFE Learn more about your ad choices.

As we head into the heat of summer, the US economy finds itself in the doldrums.   GDP growth for the year has been negative both in Q1 and Q2 -- which means we're now officially in a "technical recession".   Inflation remains at a 41-year high. The financial markets continue to suffer one of their worst years so far in history. And now the housing and jobs markets are also cooling fast.   What can we expect from the second half of the year?   For perspective, we turn to David Hay, co-founder & co-Chief Investment Officer of Evergreen Gavekal, a financial advisory firm managing $3.5 billion of investor capital.   As its steward, he can't simply rely on an "opinion"; has to steer this capital safely through what's coming next.  So his conviction needs to be as high as possible. https://youtu.be/UWOWB5Vgqww Learn more about your ad choices.

Series I Savings Bonds, also known as I-bonds, are offered by the US Treasury as a way to protect the purchasing power of your money from being eroded by inflation. This is protection many investors want badly right now, as inflation has roared back to life over the past year and a half. After decades most spent under 2%, as of the time of this recording, the official Consumer Price Index, or CPI, is currently at a 41-year high of 8.6% annualized: The way that I-bonds defend against this is they earn a monthly interest rate that’s usually higher than the CPI. So their return beats or comes quite close to the officially-reported inflation rate. In this video, we explain what I-bonds are, how they work, what their benefits are & how to buy them. https://youtu.be/efDIvlbgwDo Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Higher inputs costs and demand destruction from inflation (and the Federal Reserve's interest rate hikes) are resulting in margin compression for companies, pinching their profits.    As a result, companies are revising downwards their future earnings expectations.   So as Q2 earnings calls start happening over the next two weeks, expect a tsunami of these revisions to force Wall Street analysts to downgrade their target prices for many stocks.   Will these be the next big shoe to drop that will force stock prices down even further?  It sure looks so.   Financial advisor Lance Roberts and host Adam Taggart also tackle Fed policy, recession risk, and America's massive retirement problem in this wide-ranging Weekly Market Update.

Inflation remains at a 41-year high and continues to severely pinch households when paying for food, gas and nearly everything else.  How much longer will it plague us? And might it get even worse from here? To find out, we welcome Steve Hanke back to the program. Steve is professor of applied economics at the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland -- and the last time he appeared on this program, he correctly predicted that America's Consumer Price Index, or CPI, would hit 9% -- which it just did this past month.  See the YouTube Video for the charts and graphics: https://youtu.be/N2DftIzEOOc Learn more about your ad choices.
