Wealthion - Be Financially Resilient

The signs the global economy is heading into recession continue to mount. If you haven't seen them, you're about to. Tavi Costa of Crescat Capital has put together a chart series that visualizes the economic slowdown clearly. And on the day we recorded this interview, Bloomberg Economics revealed its models now predict a 100% probability that a recession will hit within the next 12 months.  So how bad will it get? What will the impact be on markets? And are there opportunities for investors to protect and possibly prudently grow their wealth as the recession unfolds? We'll get Tavi's answers to all of those questions. https://youtu.be/0AfoFnBpPkg Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

As many recent experts on this channel have lamented, it's hard to be an investor in today's market when the price action of securities is driven far more by Fed policy decisions than underlying company fundamentals. As a result, the global investor community is reduced to speculating on what Jerome Powell and the 11 other voting members of the FOMC -- the Federal Open Market Committee -- decide to do next. To better understand the inner world of the Fed, I've recently interviewed former Fed senior economist Lacy Hunt, former Fed advisor Danielle DiMartino Booth, and Fed policy journalist Pedro de Costa. Today we add to that list by sitting down with Joseph Wang, a former senior trader on the Fed's Open Markets desk. He understands the plumbing of how things work there intimately. https://youtu.be/gJckslmxbFw Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Fan-favorite forecaster Marc Faber returns for Part 2 of our interview with him to focus on which assets he thinks investors should consider to protect their wealth through the turmoil he sees ahead. Diversification is key in Marc's eyes, though he does think that having large cash reserves right now is particularly prudent. He's a fan of short-term government bonds & gold -- but he expects most other assets to take a walloping in the coming months. https://youtu.be/B6JbqnPDuss Learn more about your ad choices.

Dr Marc Faber returns to the program to provide his latest macro outlook. Marc is a PhD in economics, author and long-time Editor & Publisher of the Gloom Boom Doom Report. It's quite pessimistic, as Marc sees the combination of 'too much debt', asset bubbles, a moribund global economy, and smoldering social unrest resulting from historic levels of wealth inequality serve as a pressure cooker that will break badly somewhere in the system. Add in short-sighted (incompetent) political decision making & he sees a highly turbulent era ahead. One in which "a lot of people are going to lose a lot of money" Stock, bond, real estate -- all these markets are vulnerable and likely to drop much further from here in Marc's estimation. https://youtu.be/QerC4htj-Po Learn more about your ad choices.

A concern that many recent experts on this channel have raised is that there is a dangerously high percentage of corporations that classify as "zombie companies". As the cost of debt increases as interest rates rise, the likelihood that these companies could start failing en mass increases. How big of a concern is this? What implications would a mass die off of these zombies have on the markets, and the economy in general. For answers, we turn to David Trainer, CEO of research firm New Constructs, who has been ringing the warning bell of late over the risk of zombie contagion. https://youtu.be/LnbPon7fbaU Learn more about your ad choices.

Investor and macro analyst Bill Fleckenstein returns for Part 2 of our interview with him, to share his concerns about the current bear market not being over. A veteran short seller who has been on the sidelines for years, Bill is now back actively shorting the market to an extent he hasn't done for a long time. Bill expects things to "get ugly" as Q3 earnings disappoint and 2023 forecasts are downgraded. He also expects the Fed to be forced to pivot at some point by instability that's NOT going to be bullish for stocks. https://youtu.be/6y9qakcB6_M Learn more about your ad choices.
