Wealthion - Be Financially Resilient

For decades, investors have benefited from the belief that U.S. markets would continue to outperform the rest of the world.

In this conversation, Wealthion CEO Steven Feldman explains why today's S&P 500 may not be as diversified as many believe, how AI has transformed the market into a highly correlated bet, and why scarce real assets—including gold, infrastructure, farmland, and other hard assets—can play an important role in building a resilient portfolio. This interview was released alongside Stev...

For years, investors have been rewarded by simply buying America—but Francis Hunt of The Market Sniper argues that era may be coming to an end.

In this interview with Maggie Lake, Hunt explains why U.S. exceptionalism could gradually fade as rising debt, persistent currency debasement, and shifting global capital flows reshape the investment landscape. He warns that relying solely on American assets may leave investors exposed and makes the case for jurisdictional diversification, gold, and precious metals as protection against a weakening fiat system.

In this interview with Maggie Lake, Hunt explains why China's steady accumulation of gold, changing global trade dynamics, and the world's growing debt burden are creating a slow but powerful shift in the global monetary system.

Hunt also explains why he believes precious metals remain in a secular bull market, why pullbacks shouldn't shake long-term in...

Henrik Zeberg says the market’s most dangerous phase may still be ahead — a final, violent melt-up that could send risk assets sharply higher before the entire cycle turns. In this interview, Zeberg lays out why he believes investors are being pulled into the last stage of the bull market, why the Nasdaq could still surge, and why the endgame may be brutal: recession, deflation, collapsing risk assets, and a rush into cash.

Ronnie Stoeferle, partner at Incrementum AG and co-author of the In Gold We Trust report, joins Wealthion’s Trey Reik to explain why gold’s rally may be about much more than a normal bull market.Stoeferle argues that gold is signaling a deeper loss of trust in the dollar-based monetary system, as de-dollarization, inflation volatility, central bank buying, and rising geopolitical risk reshape the global financial order.

George Goncalves, Head of U.S. Macro Strategy at MUFG, joins Maggie Lake to explain why the market may be underestimating a dangerous form of “stealth tightening.” Goncalves says the Fed may not have officially hiked rates — but the bond market has effectively done it for them. With borrowing costs still high, energy prices rising, consumers stretched, and equity markets trading “on their own planet,” he warns that the pressure is building beneath the surface. Could this be the moment when higher rates finally start to hurt? And if markets can no longer ignore the cost of funding, private credit ris...

He argues that what many see as a collapse warning in long-term bonds may actually be a mechanical consequence of how capital is being allocated.

Legendary gold investor Pierre Lassonde joins Wealthion’s Trey Reik to explain why he believes gold’s bull market is far from over — and why his $17,000 gold target may be more floor than fantasy. Lassonde argues that today’s market has eerie similarities to the 1970s: energy shocks, sticky inflation, rising deficits, financial repression, and a political system with little will to tackle the debt. He says those forces are reshaping the investment landscape and could drive gold dramatically higher as investors seek protection from currency debasement and declining confidence in paper assets. In this conversation, Lassonde breaks down his Dow...

Jim Bianco warns that beneath the market’s record highs, the rally is dangerously narrow — with AI and chip stocks doing most of the heavy lifting while large parts of the market struggle. He explains why AI may be the most important force in financial markets right now, how one private AI company is distorting S&P 500 earnings, and why investors may need to rethink what realistic returns look like in this new regime. 💡Jim Bianco says AI is now the most important force in financial markets — even bigger than oil, war, or recession fears. Concerned about what this means for...

Gold, oil, copper, stocks, bonds, and Treasuries are all sending a message — and it may not be the one investors want to hear. Mike McGlone, Senior Commodity Strategist at Bloomberg Intelligence, joins Maggie Lake to explain why gold’s surge may be a warning sign, not a green light; why copper remains dangerously tied to the stock market; and why bonds — especially long-term U.S. Treasuries — may be one of the few true hedges left if risk assets finall...

Hanke argues the real strength of America isn’t just politics or military power — it’s the depth of U.S. capital markets and the global demand for dollar-based assets. But the risks are...
