In this eye-opening and insightful discussion, Chris Perkins, Managing Partner and President of CoinFund and macro thinker and founder of Visserlabs, Jordi Visser, explore the profound impacts of AI and crypto on the future of the global economy and investment landscape. Jordi argues we will soon see a significant societal and financial shift: that traditional business cycles are dead, the Fortune 500 will not exist and Stablecoins are the bridge to the future. Thanks to legislation like the “Genius Act” and “Clarity Act”, Jordi feels investors and financial institutions will see Stablecoins as a critical bridge between traditional and digital investing — and give an accessible money alternative to people in countries with volatile currencies. Jordi and Chris also talk about ALT coins, including what they see as a big boom coming for Ethereum and Robinhood's breakthrough act to take private equity public through tokenization.

In this stark and sometimes disturbing discussion, Jimmy Connor speaks with “Dr. Doom” Marc Faber, who offers his brutally honest assessment of the global and U.S. economies, asserting that while financial markets may be at all-time highs, the real economy is struggling, particularly for the middle and lower classes. He says the severe wealth inequality exacerbated by central bank interest policies that — contrary to popular belief, actually inject more liquidity into the hands of the wealthy — even as the middle class is about to be hit by what he says is an unfair tax due to tariffs. Faber also goes hard at politicians and weighs in on Elon Musk's new party, while discussing the decline of the U.S. dollar's long-term purchasing power, preferring precious metals like gold, silver, and platinum as stable anchors against currency debasement. Ultimately, Faber warned that the current path of excessive government intervention and wealth disparity is creating an "unstable environment" that could eventually have severe repercussions, even for the super-rich. Key Takeaways: Why The Financial Markets are Not the Economy Manufacturing Hasn't Shrunk in the U.S., the Jobs Have Elon Musk's Party Could Sway Elections Monetary Easing Helps the Wealthy Why Gold and Precious Metals are the Safe Bet Wealth Inequality is at an All-Time High and Will Lead to Disaster, Even for the Rich Looking to buy physical gold?

BCA Research chief strategist Marko Papic says it's time to halve your U.S. exposure! America's post-pandemic out-performance, he argues, was “fueled by drunken-sailor spending”, and that fiscal sugar rush is ending. A Trump 2.0, Big Beautiful Budget deal that cuts entitlements could push bond yields lower, the dollar weaker, and global markets higher. In this fast-moving macro and geopolitcal tour with Maggie Lake, Papic lays out: Why Europe, Japan, and emerging markets are set to lead How a lower dollar reshapes every asset class Why tariffs are mostly negotiation theater Using gold and crypto to defend your cash, not replace equities Why Middle-East fireworks won't jolt oil, and how U.S. taxpayers quietly secure China's crude Stay for the second half, where Rocklinc's Jonathan Wellum drills into tangible-asset plays and portfolio tactics.

In this powerful interview with James Connor, Oliver draws eerie parallels to the 2000 and 2007 tops, warning that the market's internal structure has already broken, and investors are being lulled into a false sense of security. Key Topics: Why this “new high” in the S&P and NASDAQ is a dangerous illusion The collapse of leadership among the Magnificent 7 stocks Why momentum says sell, even as prices rise The U.S. dollar breakdown nobody is talking about A potential panic in the bond market that could force the Fed's hand How commercial real estate defaults and soaring debt could set off a crisis Why silver may double to $60–$70 by year-end, and miners may outperform The commodity breakout that few investors are prepared for Volatility got you concerned?

Economist-strategist David Woo says investors are mis-pricing everything: Trump's soon-to-be revived tariff war, China's rare-earth dominance, and an AI bubble that's ripe to burst. Betting on U.S. equities while ignoring these risks, he argues, is the fastest way to get burned. In this explosive interview with Maggie Lake, Woo explains why: Higher tariffs will crush corporate margins and crush stocks, not simply raise inflation. Trump's aggressive new tariffs are his only weapon against America's twin deficits. Retail traders are driving a bubble built on false assumptions. Bonds are undervalued and offer better risk-reward than equities. The AI boom is overhyped, with China catching up fast, and Tesla & Nvidia in the crosshairs. Crypto donations, not policy, are behind Washington's sudden Bitcoin embrace, risking the dollar and Treasuries. Tariff Volatility got you concerned?

Economist Steve Hanke says a U.S. recession is almost inevitable, and warns that the Fed, Wall Street, and Donald Trump are all looking in the wrong direction. In this sharp, wide-ranging interview with James Connor, he explains why ignoring money supply is a fatal flaw in today's policy and why the economy may be headed for a major contraction. Hanke also unpacks global warning signs: deflation in China, collapsing demand, rising youth unemployment, and geopolitical chaos, all while markets remain near all-time highs akin to the early 2000s dot-com bubble. Key Topics: • Why Steve thinks there's an 80 to 90% chance of a U.S. recession • Why Powell is ignoring money supply growth, and why it matters • China's economic weakness and deflation • The weaponization of the dollar and its global fallout • Why the stock market looks like the early 2000s dot-com bubble • Bond market concerns and real yields rising • U.S. defense spending: “a black hole” fueling endless war • Still bullish on gold, and how to track sentiment • Market vs. macro disconnect: Buffett's caution is a clue Volatility got you concerned?

Economist and strategist Simon Hunt lays out a bold, non-consensus vision of the years ahead, and it's nothing short of a global reset. In this gripping interview with Maggie Lake, Simon reveals why the U.S. is already in recession, why inflation is far worse than reported, and how a geopolitical escalation with Iran could accelerate the collapse of Western economic dominance. He explains how the BRICS nations are preparing a gold-backed system, why global supply chains are shifting, and why AI-powered factories in China are reshaping global economic power. Plus, he shares what investors must do now to prepare before the system breaks by 2028. Key insights: Why U.S. CPI is really 9–10%, not 3% The debt spiral: new debt is being issued to pay old debt A coming geopolitical trigger from the Iran conflict Gold, the yuan, and the ruble as post-dollar safe havens Why you should hold physical gold, not ETFs A commodity cycle: sharp fall, then double by 2027 The end of just-in-time and the rise of strategic stockpiling China's AI-driven factory revolution and arms race What a “short boom before the big crash” really means Volatility got you concerned?

Crypto isn't just recovering, it's evolving. Christopher Perkins, President of CoinFund, joins Wealthion's Maggie Lake to explain why we're entering a new era of digital finance.

Plus, how meme coins ironically paved the way for capital formation, and why fixed income in crypto could be the next big thing.

Michael Howell warns that the global financial system is approaching a breaking point, not from a recession, but from a massive mismatch between debt and liquidity. As the U.S. and other governments try to roll over trillions in short-term debt at rising interest rates, the quiet result is monetary inflation. In this explosive interview with James Connor, Howell explains why 5% bond yields are the new normal, why the 60/40 portfolio model is obsolete, and why China, not just the Fed, may be driving the gold bull market. He warns that global bond markets are flashing danger, and the coming 2026–2028 refinancing cliff could trigger the next big crisis. Key Topics: • Why bond yields are rising globally, and what that means for markets • The most overlooked metric: debt-to-liquidity, not debt-to-GDP • How governments are quietly monetizing deficits, risking long-term damage • Why China's liquidity surge may be fueling the gold and Bitcoin rally • The real reason traditional portfolios won't survive this macro regime Volatility got you concerned?

David Rosenberg returns with his most powerful calls yet. In Part II, Rosenberg explains why he believes gold will hit $6,000 this cycle, the U.S. dollar is entering a bear market, and Treasury bonds offer asymmetric upside in today's fragile financial system. Rosenberg lists his top conviction trades: gold, Treasuries, defensive stocks, and global diversification, especially in Europe and Asia. He also warns that America's reserve currency status may not last, as central banks worldwide increasingly turn to gold. In a special addendum, Rocklinc's CEO, Jonathan Wellum, breaks down Rosenberg's thesis and reinforces why investors must prepare for a world where the U.S. can no longer spend without consequences. Key Topics: • Gold to $6,000? Why Rosenberg is all-in • Treasuries vs. stocks: Which is mispriced? • The death of TINA (There Is No Alternative) • U.S. debt, deficits, and dollar devaluation • Why central banks are loading up on gold • Global investment opportunities in Europe & Asia If you missed part I of this interview, watch it here: https://youtu.be/_9kou-94zow Volatility got you concerned?

David Rosenberg says the U.S. recession isn't coming, it's already here. In this urgent interview with Trey Reik (Part I of II), Rosenberg explains how trillions in post-COVID stimulus masked economic pain, why that fiscal support is now gone, and how Wall Street is misreading the signals.

From consumer stress and housing unaffordability to labor market weakness and collapsing business investment, the red flags are multiplying. Key topics discussed: Why Rosenberg thinks the recession has already started The Fed's credibility crisis and Powell's “legacy problem” How government stimulus distorted the economy Rising uncertainty from trade and tariffs Housing and labor market red flags The only sector still showing strength: AI and data centers Why Treasuries are his top conviction trade This is Part I of a 2-part interview.

In this insightful interview, nuclear expert Per Jander (Director at WMC and advisor to the Sprott Physical Uranium Trust) joins Trey Reik to explain why uranium is entering a new bull cycle. From AI-powered data centers restarting shuttered nuclear plants to the role of uranium in global baseload power, this conversation breaks down why the world is rethinking nuclear—and why uranium prices could rise significantly from here. Per also explains why nuclear plants can run for up to 100 years, why Sprott's physical uranium buying reshaped the market, and how geopolitical uncertainty with Russia is shaking up supply chains. Learn the difference between the spot and term markets, why long-term contracts dominate uranium trading, and why investors need patience (but not passivity) to profit from this setup.

Why does the economy keep falling into recession, and why don't most economists see it coming? In this thought-provoking conversation, Chris Casey of WindRock Wealth Management breaks down the real cause of recessions: central banks. Drawing on the Austrian School of Economics, Casey argues that artificially low interest rates and explosive monetary expansion fuel malinvestment and set the stage for inevitable downturns. He explains why mainstream economists and even Fed officials often have no coherent theory of the business cycle, and why their repeated interventions actually guarantee the next crisis. Chris and Maggie Lake also walk through the top indicators to watch, like money supply, the yield curve, and credit spreads, and share how investors should position themselves in this uncertain phase of the business cycle.

In this week's Rise UP! Terri Kallsen, Joe Duran, Peter Boockvar, and Jon Betlow discuss everything from how market data and consumer actions are suggesting an economic slowdown is coming — to asking if the TACO trade is real? Peter explains why buying the dip isn't necessarily the way to go and that there is a better way to ensure your investments go up. Jon talks about managing emotions and client fears that a recession — and some even worry a depression -- is near, and the extremes they could go. And we take a deep dive into the data and what 2025 Q3 and Q4 could look like, what the team thinks will really happen, and what to do if it does.

Edward Dowd says the 2025 recession is already unfolding, and investors are completely misreading the signals. In this hard-hitting interview, the former BlackRock managing director and founder of Phinance Technologies explains why the U.S. economy is far weaker than the headlines suggest. Housing is cracking, AI spending has peaked, and the true impact of mass immigration is just now being understood. Dowd argues inflation will plunge below 2% by Q4, deflation is the real risk, and U.S. Treasury bonds are the best asset to own right now. He also explains why the Fed and asset managers were misled by faulty data, and why the housing downturn will lead, not lag, the recession. Key Topics: Why the housing market is the “white swan” collapse no one's ready for How 20M migrants artificially boosted U.S. economic numbers Why inflation is set to fall hard—and what most investors get wrong His contrarian call on the bond market and how to position for it Gold's new role in the monetary system (and a potential $10K target) The AI boom is over, so what happens next to equities and jobs Why crypto remains a risk asset… for now Chapters: 0:45 - Inflation & Gas Prices: How Bad Is It? 2:17 - Why Dowd Sees a Deep Recession Ahead 6:30 - Are Cracks Forming in Housing? 10:17 - What Will Trigger Higher Unemployment? 13:10 - Retail Giant Collapse—A Sign of Trouble? 14:07 - Will the “Big Beautiful Bill” Backfire? 16:19 - Exploding Deficits: Is Austerity Unavoidable? 18:33 - Could Bond Yields Shoot to 6 Percent? 24:47 - Is the U.S. Dollar on the Brink? 27:46 - Recession by Q4 2025: How Likely? 29:03 - How Severe Could the Downturn Get? 30:12 - Global Fallout: Can the World Withstand a U.S. Recession? 32:14 - S&P's Surge: Dead-Cat Bounce or New Bull? 35:16 - Commercial Real Estate: Next Shoe to Drop? 36:51 - Gold vs Bitcoin: Where's the Smart Money Going?

Ocean Wall CEO Nick Lawson and Director Ben Finegold tell Trey Reik why the market is set up for a parabolic move.

Contrarian macro strategist David Hunter delivers his boldest outlook yet: a final parabolic melt-up in stocks during 2025, capping a 43-year secular bull market, followed by what he calls the biggest deflationary bust since 1929. In this must-watch interview with James Connor, Hunter predicts the S&P 500 surging to 8000 and the Dow to 55,000 before an 80 % collapse wipes out trillions. Key points he explains: Why the Fed is already behind the curve and will soon panic-cut rates How bearish institutional positioning could fuel the melt-up Signs we may already be in a recession Why the coming global bust could dwarf 2008 How a $20 trillion Fed balance-sheet expansion could spark hyperinflation later in the 2030s Why the next bull market should favor commodities, oil, and precious metals over tech Also discussed: his targets of $ 20,000 gold, $500 silver, $500 oil, and why traditional index investing may be “dead money” for a generation.

Gold's bull market is just heating up, here's what comes next… In this deeply insightful interview, Incrementum's Ronnie Stoeferle joins Trey Reik to share highlights from his just-released In Gold We Trust 2025 report: The Big Long. Ronnie explains why gold is no longer a contrarian bet but a strategic response to the collapse of trust in fiat currencies, central banks, and political leadership. Now in the second phase of its secular bull market, “around the 6th inning,” as Ronnie puts it, gold could be heading toward $4,800 or even $10,000. He breaks down the case for both “safe haven gold” (physical, long-term) and “performance gold” (silver, mining stocks, commodities, Bitcoin), and why the real upside may lie in the under-owned parts of the trade. You'll also hear how central banks are not just buying gold, but repatriating it. And how a quiet remonetization of gold may be underway, laying the groundwork for a future monetary reset.
