Jeff Sarti, CEO of Morton Wealth, joins the Futures Edge with Jim Iuorio and Bobby Iaccino for a masterclass in resilient investing.

This isn't just theory—it's actionable insight for anyone looking to strengthen their portfolio, elevate their financial decision-making, and engage more intentionally in wealth planning. Whether you're trading the markets or investing for the long term, Jeff's perspective will reframe how you approach risk, resilience, and protecting your financial future.What You'll Learn In This Episode: - Diversification is widely misunderstood but essential for resilience.- Gold remains a core asset—despite the rise of Bitcoin.- Liquidity and financial engineering drive markets more than many realize.- Private credit offers opportunities, but not without risks.- Inflation should reshape your investment strategy.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 Introduction and Weather Talk02:14 Overview of Morton Wealth03:39 Market Analysis and Investment Strategies07:36 Diversification and Asset Allocation10:08 Gold vs. Bitcoin: A Comparative Analysis19:11 The Role of Gold in Modern Finance21:15 Private Equity and Asset-Based Lending27:48 Current Economic Climate and Fed Policies28:22 The Political Landscape of Jerome Powell30:36 Dovish or Hawkish?

David Clark is joined by Ed Goldstein, Partner and Chief Investment Officer at Coller Capital's Credit Secondaries business. Ed has spent over 16 years shaping the secondary investment landscape, and in our conversation he explains how the secondaries market provides investors with liquidity, diversification, and unique access to private markets—an area often overlooked but increasingly interesting for investors. With Coller Capital managing more than $40 billion globally, Ed explains how this market has evolved, why it matters, and how it can help sophisticated investors achieve diversification, mitigate risk, and capture attractive returns We unpack the mechanics of secondaries in both private equity and private credit, explore the growth of continuation funds, and discuss how institutional investors, from pension schemes to sovereign wealth funds, are using secondaries to reshape portfolios. Ed also shares insights from his decades-long career navigating multiple market cycles and explains how Coller's scale allows them to underwrite and execute transactions that others can't. Whether you're new to private markets or already allocating to alternatives, this conversation will give you a deeper understanding of how secondaries fit into the broader investment landscape—and why they're becoming an essential tool for investors.

Join the conversation: The Investor Lab Community What happens when you throw billions of dollars at an asset that’s scarcer than gold? From October 2025, the Government is about to supercharge demand with its expanded Home Guarantee Scheme (HGS). Promoted as a way to help first-home buyers get into the market with just a 5% deposit, there’ll be no volume caps, no income caps, limited price caps — and the government will guarantee the risk for lenders. On the surface, this seems like a great thing for affordability - but independent modelling suggests this could pump $10–20 billion in fresh credit into the market in Year 1 alone, adding 20–40k extra buyers. And with housing supply already tight, that extra liquidity doesn’t create new homes — it pushes prices one way only… In this episode, we break down:* Why property’s scarcity matters, and how the stock-to-flow lens changes the conversation* Is real estate more scarce than gold?* What the new HGS actually is, and how it works* The likely impact of flooding billions into the housing market Whether you’re a first home buyer or not, this affects you.

Markets are doing fine, sitting right at all time highs, and money flows have been improving. Relative strength has improved, but still has a negative divergence. Nvidia was also sitting at all time highs, but will not be surprised to see it open lower. From a  fundamental perspective, Nvidia is operating on "all cylinders," only the ultra-optimistic observers were disappointed in the company's earnings report. The Small-cap/Mid-cap space (IWM) has been performing better, but here's the concern: About 40% of these companies have NO profits, and are zombie companies, surviving on debt issuance. So this particular index is not all that healthy. Also remember, these companies are very, very economically sensitive. Any weakness in the economy will be reflected in the earnings of these companies. Yields have not done a lot, currently sitting at around 4.2%, which is where they should be trading in the present environment. Gold has behaved similarly, going nowhere and trading in a narrow range. Gold has become a liquidity source for stock chasing.    Hosted by RIA Chief Investment Strategist, Lance Roberts, CIO  Produced by Brent Clanton, Executive Producer ------- Watch the Video version of this report on our YouTube channel: http://bit.ly/47QZT3k ------- Get more info & commentary:  https://realinvestmentadvice.com/insights/real-investment-daily/ ------- Register for our next RIA Dynamic Learning Series event, "Savvy Medicare Planning," September 18, 2025: https://realinvestmentadvice.com/resources/events/savvy-medicare-planning-what-baby-boomers-need-to-know-about-medicare/ ------- Visit our Site: https://www.realinvestmentadvice.com Contact Us: 1-855-RIA-PLAN -------- Subscribe to SimpleVisor: https://www.simplevisor.com/register-new -------- Connect with us on social: https://twitter.com/RealInvAdvice https://twitter.com/LanceRoberts https://www.facebook.com/RealInvestmentAdvice/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/realinvestmentadvice/ #Gold #LiquiditySource #BullishTrend #NegativeDivergence #MarketCorrection #20DMA #50DMA #100DMA #200DMA #InvestingAdvice #Money #Investing

The Federal Reserve helps support financial system resilience by acting as the lender of last resort, providing liquidity to institutions in exchange for high quality collateral. The usage of its 13(3) emergency authority during the 2023 regional banking crisis suggests the Fed may use these powers more frequently in today's financial system. The rising importance of non-bank institutions has also complicated the Fed's aim to strike an optimal balance between efficacy and the minimization of moral hazard. In this episode, we talk with Kate Judge, Professor of Law at Columbia Law School, about the Fed's role as lender of last resort, evaluating liquidity needs versus insolvency, and whether existing facilities can mitigate the next financial crisis.

In today's episode, Kip dives deep into a volatile August market, unpacking this week's wild swings and what they mean for your portfolio. Despite choppy trading, Kip doubles down on his bullish outlook, arguing that we're still in the very early innings of this bull market. He breaks down why current dips are buying opportunities, shares his strong predictions for year end and 2026, and takes a closer look at the “ocean of liquidity” fueling these moves. Tune into today's podcast to learn more.

On June 23, I joined the Capital Allocators podcast to discuss some of the pressing challenges facing the private equity industry today, with a particular focus on the ongoing liquidity crisis. This is an unprecedented and, I would argue, an underappreciated problem for the industry. We should be talking about it more, and that's why we're sharing this excerpt with you today. I'd like to thank the host of Capital Allocators, Ted Seides, for the opportunity to dive deeper into the data on exits and fundraising and also to explore some of the tools the industry might use to navigate this impasse. You can also listen to our full conversation on the Capital Allocators podcast here..

Send us a textIn this panel segment, seasoned family office investors reveal how they approach turbulent markets, rising interest rates, and global instability — and why chaos can be a prime time to invest.Key Takeaways:• Uncertainty can create the best deals — savvy investors profit while others hesitate.• Real estate and ancillary businesses remain hot targets during market volatility.• In tech, initial seed investments are “toe in the water” opportunities — follow-ons are where big gains happen.• Strategic involvement (board roles, connections, guidance) is as valuable as capital for early-stage companies.• Liquidity is power: cash reserves allow nimble moves when valuations correct.• Diversification across real estate, operating businesses, and liquid portfolios ensures long-term stability.

Welcome to the land podcast, a platform for people looking to educate themselves in the world of land ownership, land investing, staying up to date with current land trends in the Midwest, and hearing from industry experts and professionals. On today's episode, we are back in the studio with a different kind of podcast. Our friends from Buckland Funding came up to visit and record this podcast, talking all about lending for land. We discuss: Getting pre-approved is easy and requires minimal documentation. Buckland Funding specializes in recreational land loans. Pre-approval typically takes 24-48 hours with required financials. Two years of tax returns and a personal financial statement are standard requirements. Debt-to-income ratio should ideally be 41% or less for loan approval. Buckland Funding keeps loans in-house for personalized service. They can close loans quickly, sometimes in as little as 10 days. A good lender can help buyers feel more confident in their purchase. Liquidity is important; aim for one year of annual debt payments in savings. The lending process for land is simpler than traditional home loans. And so much more! ⁠Get Pre-Approved to Purchase a farm with Buck Land Funding ⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.whitetailmasteracademy.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Use code '⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HOFER' to save 10% off at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.theprairiefarm.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Massive potential tax savings: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ASMLABS.Net⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ -Moultrie: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/moultrie_⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ -Hawke Optics: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/hawkeoptics_⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ -OnX: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/onX_Hunt⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ -Painted Arrow: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/PaintedArrow

The 5-day SPX chart shows a double bottom that occurred between Wednesday's and Thursday's trading sessions, a bullish indicator according to Kevin Green. One concern he shares is the bid size of SPX futures higher than the ask size, showing interest from bears in the index. Bulls are showing strength when it comes to market depth. Kevin sees an uptick in activity that can signal a volume uptrend if it continues Friday.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – / schwabnetwork Follow us on Facebook – / schwabnetwork Follow us on LinkedIn - / schwab-network About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

Description: This week, we're digging into the market's reaction to the latest CPI data and what it means for the macro landscape as we look ahead to the Jackson Hole symposium. We'll discuss expectations for the event, the ongoing debate around potential new Federal Reserve appointments, and provide an update on the tariff situation.The main event in crypto is Ethereum's explosive +23% move on the week, with LDO moving in concert. We'll break down the key drivers behind the rally, including a massive $1.8 billion in ETF inflows, over $2 billion in large Digital Asset Trust (DAT) purchases, and a significant regulatory clarification that liquid staking derivatives (LSDs) will avoid security status. While ETH is technically overbought, we note that funding rates have not yet become excessively rich.We then look at the future of the Ethereum ecosystem, providing an update on the staking exit queue and the evolving discussion around new products like staking ETFs versus the established DATs. We'll also touch on strong network fundamentals, with daily transactions averaging 1.7 million in August.Finally, we have game-changing news from Coinbase. The company is rolling out DEX trading directly in the main Coinbase app for U.S. users, unlocking access to millions of on-chain assets, particularly on Base. In addition, Coinbase Asset Management is launching a second Stablecoin Bootstrap Fund to deepen liquidity across DeFi protocols like Aave, Morpho, and Jupiter.Topics Covered:Macro & Policy:Analysis of the latest CPI data.What to expect from the Jackson Hole symposium.The debate around potential new Fed chair appointments.An update on the tariff situation.Ethereum's Massive Rally:Unpacking the +23% move and LDO's performance.Key Drivers: $1.8B in ETF flows and $2B in DAT purchases.Regulatory Win: Liquid Staking Derivatives (LSDs) avoiding security status.An update on the ETH staking exit queue.Network Health: 1.7 million daily transactions in August.Coinbase News & Product Launches:DEX Trading: Trading on-chain assets directly in the main Coinbase app.DeFi Liquidity: The launch of a second Stablecoin Bootstrap Fund for protocols like Aave and Morpho.A look at the AI tools being used at Coinbase.CB ResearchBitcoin, Liquidity, and Macro CrossroadsSpeakers:Ben Floyd, Head of Execution ServicesDavid Duong, Global Head of ResearchColin Basco, Institutional ResearchBen Rodriguez, Senior Protocol Specialist
