The events of the first few months of the second term U.S. President Donald Trump have literally stunned his friends and his foes alike. Policies ranging from tariffs to government efficiency and waste to illegal immigration to gender issues have been aggressively sought out by the Trump Administration. One of the major impacts has been supply chain chaos and uncertainty. Join Kevin as we dive into this topic…concluding, of course, with the question of how that chaos and uncertainty may impact long-term Christian missions. // Download this episode's Application & Action questions and PDF transcript at whitestone.org.

The markets are moving like a rollercoaster, driven by tweets and geopolitical tensions that shift from World War III fears to peaceful resolutions within weeks. Headlines change faster than investment strategies can adapt, leaving many wondering whether anything has fundamentally changed or if it's all just noise.In this episode, Hans welcomes back Joe Withrow, founder of the Phoenician League, to discuss how to maintain a long-term investment strategy amid short-term chaos. Their conversation cuts through the daily market drama to examine what matters for building lasting wealth.The discussion reveals why the fundamentals haven't changed despite daily headlines, and how tools like Infinite Banking Concept (IBC) can serve as the foundation for building generational wealth that transcends market volatility and creates financial freedom for future generations.Check out Joe's work at https://joewithrow.com/, or visit https://phoenicianleague.com/ to learn more about the Phoencician League. The Two-Tiered Investment Approach: A philosophy of separating investments into financial security (gold, Bitcoin, strategic stocks) and financial independence (real estate, mortgage notes, cash flow investments). This framework helps investors stay focused on long-term wealth building rather than getting caught up in daily market swings.IBC as Financial Foundation: How Infinite Banking Concept serves as a strategic cash warehousing system outside the traditional banking framework. Beyond tax advantages, IBC provides the flexibility to capitalize on opportunities while building toward generational wealth transfer that can end the "rat race" for future generations.Government Spending Reality Check: Despite initial optimism about DOGE and spending cuts, the conversation reveals why meaningful budget reductions remain unlikely. With only $9.4 billion in rescission bills compared to trillion-dollar deficits, the system continues its trajectory of money creation and asset price inflation.Resilience Beyond Finance: Building non-financial resilience through home preparedness, local community connections, and relationships with local farmers. This approach acknowledges that true security comes from people and community, not just portfolio performance.➡️ Chapters:00:00 - Introduction and Market Volatility Overview02:00 - Joe Withrow's Background and Investment Philosophy05:00 - Recent Geopolitical Events and Market Impact08:00 - The Two-Tiered Investment Strategy Explained11:00 - IBC's Role in Wealth Building Strategy14:00 - Generational Wealth and Breaking the Rat Race17:00 - Dollar-Cost Averaging and Market Timing20:00 - DOGE Disappointment and Spending Reality24:00 - Government Asset Monetization Possibilities27:00 - System Collapse vs. Muddling Through31:00 - Building Community and Local Resilience34:00 - Real Estate and Practical Wealth Applications37:00 - Homeschooling and Educational Freedom41:00 - Dollar System Evolution and Stablecoin Strategy47:00 - Venetian League Network and Implementation FocusGot Questions?

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.

Is the recent S&P 500 rally a bull trap? Momentum expert Michael Oliver says yes, and the consequences could be brutal. 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.

“During COVID, we went from just in time to just in case. Unfortunately, now supply chains have to factor in risk mitigation. Finding alternative sources of supply might be a little more pricey, but it reduces the risk.” - Alan Arcand, Chief Economist at Canadian Manufacturers & Exporters Economic uncertainty and tariff volatility continue to shape procurement strategies and supply chain decisions across North America. As businesses grapple with unpredictable policy shifts, the need to interpret nuanced economic signals accurately has become critical to maintaining stable operations and safeguarding organizational profitability. To decode these trends and recommend timely strategies, Philip Ideson spoke with Alan Arcand, Chief Economist at Canadian Manufacturers and Exporters, at the Supply Chain Canada National Conference. In this conversation, Alan highlights key factors procurement leaders should monitor, including the inflation implications of tariff decisions, investment behaviors influenced by economic uncertainty, and the profound impact all of this has on manufacturing sectors, particularly automotive. Alan also discusses: How to navigate conflicting economic indicators in the U.S. to improve procurement foresight Understanding tariff-driven supply chain disruptions in manufacturing sectors, particularly related to steel and aluminum Ways to adapt procurement strategies to shifting North American economic and political fluctuations Utilizing strategic diversification, including nearshoring and friendshoring, to mitigate risk Links: Alan Arcand on LinkedIn Subscribe to This Week in Procurement Subscribe to Art of Procurement on YouTube

Patrick Mueller says it's "nice to see the rebounding" of markets but admits we're "not out of the weeds yet." He sees volatility ramping back up in the back half of the year. Patrick urges investors to find protection in "behemoth" companies that serve as defensive plays, pointing to Berkshire Hathaway (BRK/B) and Walmart (WMT) as examples. However, he still believes utilities and the Mag 7 will continue to thrive as A.I. fuels electricity demand.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

It appears the volatility in global politics hasn't translated to local markets, with the ASX-200 remaining relatively calm for most of the week. IG market analyst Tony Sycamore spoke with Stephanie Youssef. Plus, Deloitte has released its latest Business Outlook and, despite global economic uncertainty, the Australian economy is expected to experience modest growth over the next few years. For more, Deloitte Access Economics Head Pradeep Philip spoke about the need for reform to boost productivity.
Volatility continues to slide lower and the SPX signals a green session that could lead to all-time highs for the index. Kevin Green talks about the technicals investors should watch in today's trading action, which includes a lower VIX that opens the door for hedging activity. He later turns to copper's rally kicking off the session.======== 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 – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

On this episode, Ted and Neel discuss 5 Premier League teams that should be worried about their summer window. Why should West Ham, Fulham, Aston Villa, Everton and Sunderland all be concerned?

Morgan Stanley's Chief Asia Equity Strategist Jonathan Garner explains why Indian equities are our most preferred market in Asia.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Jonathan Garner, Morgan Stanley's Chief Asia Equity Strategist. Today I'll discuss why we remain positive on India's long-term equity story.It's Tuesday, the 24th of June at 9am in Singapore.We've had a long-standing bullish outlook on the India economy and its stock market. In the last five years MSCI India has delivered a total return in U.S. dollars of 145 percent versus 94 percent for global equities and just 39 percent for emerging markets. Indian equities are our most preferred market within Asia for three key reasons. First, India's superior economic and earnings growth. Second, lower exposure to trade tariffs. And third, a strong domestic investor base. And all of this adds up to structural outperformance not just in Asia but indeed globally, and with significantly lower volatility than peer group markets. So let's dive deeper. To start with – the macroeconomic backdrop. We expect India to account for 20 percent of overall incremental global GDP growth in the coming decade. Manufacturing competitiveness is improving thanks to bolstered infrastructure in power, ports, roads, freight transport systems as well as investments in social infrastructure such as water, sewage and hospitals. Additionally, India's growing middle class offers market opportunities to companies across many product categories. There's robust domestic consumption, a strong investment cycle led by public and private capital expenditure and continuing structural reforms, including in the legal sphere. GDP growth in the first quarter was more than 7 percent and our team expects over 6 percent in the medium term, which would be by far the highest of the major economies. Furthermore, we continue to expect robust corporate earnings growth. Since the end of COVID, MSCI India has delivered around 12 percent per annum [U.S.] dollar earnings per share growth versus low single digits for Emerging Markets overall. And we forecast 14 percent and 16 percent over the next two fiscal years. Growth drivers in the short term include an emerging private CapEx cycle, re-leveraging of corporate balance sheets, and a structural rise in discretionary consumption – signaling increased business and consumer confidence, after last year's elections. Another key reason that we're positive on India currently is its lower-than-average vulnerability to ongoing trade and tariff disputes between the U.S. and its trade partners. Exports of goods to the U.S. amount to only 2 percent of India's GDP versus, for example, 10 percent in Thailand or 14 percent in Taiwan. And India's total goods exports are only around 12 percent of GDP. Moreover, for the time being, India's very large services sector's exports are not exposed to tariff actions, and are actually early beneficiaries of AI adoption. Finally, India's strong individual stock ownership means that there's persistent retail buying, which underpins the equity market. Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) flows driven by a young urbanizing population are making new highs, and in May amounted to over U.S.$3 billion. They provide consistent capital inflows. That means that this domestic bid on stocks is unlikely to fade anytime soon. This provides a strong foundation for the market and supports valuations which are slightly above emerging market averages. It also means that its market beta to global equities are low and falling, approximately 0.4 versus 1.1 ten years ago. And price volatility is well below other emerging markets. All told, making India an attractive play in volatile times. Thanks for listening.

A crypto enthusiast once wrote on Reddit, “Bitcoin is like winning the lottery in slow motion.” That might be a stretch, but one thing's clear: Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies aren't going anywhere. Today, Mark Biller joins us to unpack how crypto is moving into the mainstream and what that means for investors trying to make wise decisions.Mark Biller is Executive Editor and Senior Portfolio Manager at Sound Mind Investing, an underwriter of Faith & Finance.Two Big Takeaways for Crypto InvestorsHere are two key insights to help investors make sense of today's crypto market:Bitcoin Stands Apart – It's critical to understand that Bitcoin is not like the rest of the crypto world. It has emerged as a unique and dominant force, with widespread adoption, while other cryptocurrencies remain highly speculative. Bitcoin Has Reached Critical Mass – Thanks to regulatory shifts and institutional adoption, Bitcoin seems to be here to stay. In just a few years, we've gone from government hostility toward crypto to SEC-approved Bitcoin ETFs and even a pro-crypto administration in the White House.Bitcoin was the original cryptocurrency, launched in 2008, and today it represents about 60% of the entire crypto market. It's gained institutional interest and widespread regulatory acceptance. By contrast, the remaining 40% of the crypto universe is fragmented, filled with thousands of projects, many of which will not survive.Think of most other cryptos not as currencies but as startup tech ventures. That helps frame their high risk and their potential for failure. Bitcoin, meanwhile, has arrived. The rest? They're still trying to prove themselves.Bitcoin as an Investment: What's Changed?Many early Bitcoin advocates hoped it would serve as a usable currency outside of traditional financial systems. But that vision has mostly faded. Today, most investors treat Bitcoin like digital gold—a store of value designed to hedge against inflation and the devaluation of fiat currencies.It's volatile, yes. But its built-in scarcity (only 21 million bitcoins will ever exist) appeals to those who fear government overreach or reckless monetary policy. Bitcoin's not just for tech enthusiasts anymore—it's becoming a strategic asset for serious investors.Generational preferences also shape Bitcoin's rise. Younger investors, raised in a digital world of apps and virtual marketplaces, are far more comfortable with digital assets. What gold has long been to older generations, Bitcoin is becoming to younger ones: a hedge against inflation and a symbol of financial independence.In fact, Bitcoin's correlation with gold has grown significantly in recent years, signaling that institutions are viewing it in similar terms.Institutions and Even Nations Are Paying AttentionIt's not just individuals diving into Bitcoin. Global events—especially the 2022 freezing of Russian reserve assets—have prompted many nations to reassess their reliance on U.S. Treasury bonds. The result? A surge in gold buying by central banks, and increasing openness to alternatives like Bitcoin among private investors.While governments aren't yet buying Bitcoin, there's reasonable evidence to suggest that gold investors are starting to “skate to where the puck is going,” diversifying small portions of their portfolios into Bitcoin as a forward-looking strategy.With that being said, should we be concerned about the global shift away from U.S. treasuries?Not immediately. While a shift away from U.S. Treasuries could eventually raise interest rates and borrowing costs, the dollar still holds dominant status in global transactions. But it's a trend worth watching. It's a slow-motion problem—more of a simmer than a flashpoint.So…Should You Invest in Bitcoin?It depends. Investors with a strong risk tolerance and a positive outlook on gold might allocate a small portion (less than 5%) of their portfolio to Bitcoin or Bitcoin ETF's. The key is position sizing—keeping it small due to Bitcoin's extreme volatility.However, we want to be crystal clear: this only applies to Bitcoin, not to the rest of the crypto space, which still carries a high risk of going to zero.If you're curious to explore more, check out the full article, Bitcoin (& Crypto) Go Mainstream: What You Need To Know, at SoundMindInvesting.org. The SMI team also offers a Bitcoin-inclusive ETF for those looking to dip a toe into this asset class as part of a broader, biblically informed strategy.At the end of the day, financial stewardship isn't about chasing trends—it's about making wise, measured decisions rooted in truth. And with the right knowledge, even complex topics like crypto can be approached with confidence.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I currently have about $1 million in an active 401(k) with a major financial institution. I'd like to transfer those existing funds to another custodian, where I can earn a guaranteed interest rate. However, I also want to continue contributing to my current 401(k) through my employer, taking on more investment risk with those new contributions. Is that possible?My husband and I live with my father-in-law, and the house needs some repairs. He's offered to loan us the money from his retirement account to cover the costs, but he's asking us to help pay the taxes he would owe on the distribution. Is that a wise arrangement?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)Bitcoin (& Crypto) Go Mainstream: What You Need To Know by Mark Biller (Sound Mind Investing Article)Wisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on MoneyLook At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.

After an unstable week, Brian unpacks this last weekend's geopolitical drama with Iran and its ripple effects across global markets. While the headlines scream war, oil prices, and defense stocks, he zooms in on a more powerful long-term message: boring investing still wins. He uses a real-life client story—going from $50K to over $1 million in 10 years—to illustrate how time, discipline, and sticking to a strategy can outlast even the most chaotic news cycles. From the rise of GE Aerospace to the pitfalls of chasing hype, Brian shows how purposeful, time-based investing isn't just safe—it's smart. He also dives into how current events create both fear and opportunity, why aerospace and U.S. energy might be long-term winners, and why Elon Musk's vision still matters to investors...

Dann Ryan looks at the small cap space and highlights opportunities for investors. He warns that small caps can carry heavier debt levels with higher interest rates, and the Russell 2000 tends to be the most volatile part of the market. He allocates around 10% of his portfolio to small caps and sees a “rocky road ahead.” He likes utilities and more defensive sectors right now. He also thinks that the market will end the year higher.======== 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 – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

Brian Levitt, global market strategist at Invesco, says that he came into the year expecting that the growth and inflation backdrop would support reasonable corporate earnings that could push the market higher. He still believes that -- despite expecting a slowdown, struggles with increased market volatility and higher inflation as a result of tariff impacts -- and said that modest earnings growth will result in single-digit equity gains for the rest of the year. Levitt made the case for expanded international investments, but said he would lean into quality as a factor, noting that high-grade companies will give the most shelter if the storm clouds deliver more trouble than Levitt and Invesco are currently forecasting. Certified financial therapist Nate Astle discusses a Beyond Finance study which showed the deep connections between financial strain and emotional well-being, suggesting that money isn't just a numbers game but a mental-health issue. Plus John Cole Scott, president of Closed-End Fund Advisors, answers listener questions about closed-end funds and whether premiums and returns of capital are as bad for investors as they are cracked up to be, whether interval funds are worth the illiquidity risk and more.

Erik Smolinski returns to Chat With Traders after his first appearance on episode 272, joining Tessa for a trader-to-trader conversation about the intricacies of options trading, a topic Erik is deeply passionate about. In this episode Erik digs into one of Tessa's own options strategies, offering thoughtful feedback and sharing his expertise and experience from years in the game. With so many myths floating around about options, their discussion clears up some of the biggest misconceptions and gives listeners a practical perspective on how to approach this trading style. About Erik Smolinski: Erik is a Marine veteran, options trader, and investor in both real estate and startups. It started when a high school teacher introduced him to investing in 2007, which then changed the direction of his life. Over the years, he's put in more than 30,000 hours to master his craft and became a first-generation millionaire before turning 30. From his school days to his time in the Marines and his work as a trader, Erik has always set his own standards instead of following the crowd. That independent approach—what he calls the Outlier mindset—has shaped his life. Investing lets him spend time on things he cares about, like traveling, working on cars, training, and helping others learn what he knows.
