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?

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interview with James Connor, Howell explains why 5% bond yields are the new normal, why the 60/40 portfolio model is obsolete, and why China, not just the Fed, may be driving the gold bull market.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. He breaks down the Fed's biggest policy errors, including Jay Powell's obsession with legacy over leadership. Rosenberg warns that the Fed is ignoring its own Beige Book and that both soft and hard data now point clearly to contraction. 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.

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.

Francis Hunt, founder of The Market Sniper, joins Maggie Lake for an alarming and wide-ranging macro discussion. He warns that the global financial system is already collapsing, starting with the U.S. bond market and spreading across fiat currencies worldwide.

Key Topics: Why the 40-year bond bull market is dead How fiat currency is losing its credibility fast Why gold is the ultimate reserve asset, and will go parabolic The real role of Bitcoin and select digital tokens How CBDCs will power the next monetary system Why property and equities could crash hard The coming wealth shift from West to East How governments will clamp down with surveillance and taxation What investors can do to protect and position themselves Chapters: 0:34 - Francis Hunt's Bold Forecast: The Debt Collapse Has Begun 5:10 - What Does “Collapse” Really Mean?

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.

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.

Is gold still undervalued, even after hitting record highs? Tavi Costa says yes, and makes the case for $20,000+ gold. In this insightful interview, Crescat Capital's macro strategist Tavi Costa joins Trey Reik to explain why we're in the early stages of a “Great Rotation” out of overvalued U.S. equities and into hard assets like gold, silver, and commodities. Tavi also lays out why traditional 60/40 portfolios are set to underperform for years, how U.S. debt levels and deglobalization are pressuring the dollar, and why central banks (and possibly even the U.S. Treasury) are quietly turning back to gold. He also reveals: - Why the 2-year Treasury yield could collapse - Why the S&P 500's best years may be behind it - Why silver may be “the cheapest metal on Earth” - And how AI, onshoring, and infrastructure needs are creating a boom in commodity demand Chapters:01:09 - Crescat's Three‑Pronged Strategy 05:45 - Defining the “Great Market Rotation” 10:14 - What's Driving Crescat's 2025 Outperformance 13:38 - Why the 60/40 Portfolio Is in Trouble 16:49 - Commodities vs. Equities: The Historic Discount 20:36 - Three Forces Fueling Gold's Surge 24:36 - Why This Gold Cycle Could Be the Biggest Yet 30:03 - When Will It Be Time to Sell Gold? 36:32 - Valuing Gold: A $20K+ Playbook? 41:25 - Gold's Role in the Next Monetary System 44:48 - 2025 Outlook: Rates, Commodities, and Markets 47:35 - Is Silver the Cheapest Metal on Earth?

In this hard-hitting, no-nonsense Speak Up episode, value investor Sven Carlin joins Anthony Scaramucci to expose the financial risks threatening your portfolio, from U.S. debt compounding at 8%, and overvalued markets, to investor psychology shaped by years of Fed and fiscal bailouts. Drawing from his childhood in hyperinflation-era Yugoslavia, Sven warns that money printing is the only way out of the West's massive debt burden, and that the endgame is hyperinflation. He explains why traditional inflation hedges like gold may not offer cost-effective protection, and what real assets he believes investors must own to protect their wealth from what's coming. Key Topics: • Why Sven won't touch the S&P 500 at current valuations • The hidden costs of Trump's tariff strategy and trade wars • Why food stocks and real businesses beat speculative assets • The “buy the dip” trap enabled by Fed policy • How China may outlast the U.S. in economic warfare Whether you're a cautious investor or market bull, this conversation will challenge your assumptions and help you prepare for what's next.

Is gold the most compelling investment of 2025? Adrian Day, CEO of Adrian Day Asset Management, says yes, and backs it up with conviction. In this powerful conversation with Trey Reik, Adrian explains why gold offers the best risk-reward profile in decades, and why even conservative investors should pay close attention. Adrian breaks down the real drivers behind gold's rise, from surging central bank demand and de-dollarization to the U.S. government's “criminally irresponsible” handling of long-term debt. And while gold is making headlines, gold mining stocks remain deeply undervalued. Adrian shares why most investors are still on the sidelines, what's starting to shift in 2025, and how miners now offer superior margins, strong balance sheets, and breakout potential. Key Topics Covered: Why gold is rising despite a strong dollar and higher yields Why central banks and Asian investors are driving demand Why Adrian holds 30% gold in conservative portfolios U.S. debt policy and the risks of a fiscal crisis Why gold stocks have lagged, and why that's changing in 2025 How to build a smart gold equity portfolio Adrian's strategy for picking junior miners: people and cash flow Chapters: 1:34 - Why Adrian's Firm Bets Big on Gold 5:33 - 30% Gold?

Why does China control 90%+ of the world's rare earths, and what can the West do to fight back? In this eye-opening conversation, SCP Resource Finance CEO David Wargo joins Trey Reik to explain how China monopolized one of the world's most strategic industries and why rare earths are now a frontline weapon in the U.S.-China trade war. With China already cutting off critical mineral exports, including rare earths, the West is being forced to scramble for new sources and rebuild its industrial base. David breaks down the rare earths that really matter (neodymium, praseodymium, dysprosium, terbium), why they're essential to EVs, robotics, and wind power, and why the West is years behind due to decades of offshoring. He also reveals two companies best positioned for the coming reindustrialization push and hunger for Rare Earths: MEI and EFR. With geopolitical urgency rising and policy momentum building, the rare earth sector now faces strong tailwinds, making it one of the most compelling long-term opportunities in global investing.
