Wealthion - Be Financially Resilient

• David Rosenberg: "The Business Cycle Is Dead"—The Story Investors Today Believe

  💡Think “buy the dip” may no longer be enough? Get a free portfolio review with Wealthion’s endorsed financial advisors: https://bit.ly/48WIKnY The business cycle is dead. Bear markets are no more. Recessions, eliminated. At least, that’s how many investors view the market. But are these safe assumptions? In this interview with James Connor, economist David Rosenberg pushes back on these dangerous beliefs in investing today. He explains how complacency, hubris, and overconfidence have replaced risk management and why history suggests markets are ignoring forces they can’t repeal, no matter how strong the narrative feels. This isn’t a call to panic. It’s a warning about what happens when investors believe Mother Nature no longer applies to markets David also breaks down: * Why rate cuts aren’t actually stimulating the real economy * How stocks are being priced as if risk no longer exists * Why the equity wealth effect is masking weakness in the consumer * How AI-driven capex is distorting economic growth * Why the labor market is cracking beneath the headlines 💡 Worried today’s market optimism is masking real risk?

• Harry Dent: The Biggest Artificial Bubble in History Has No Soft Landing

  💡Uncertain about how a potential market downturn could affect your portfolio? Get a free, no-obligation portfolio review with Wealthion’s endorsed financial advisors at https://bit.ly/4pD6Vi6 Harry Dent argues that today’s markets are trapped in the largest and most artificial bubble in history, created by years of government deficits, money printing, and the suppression of natural economic cycles. In this conversation with Maggie Lake, he explains why demographics and generational spending patterns, not innovation alone, drive long-term booms and busts. Dent warns that eliminating recessions has destroyed true price discovery and made a soft landing impossible. He also breaks down why money velocity is signaling deep economic fragility and why millennials are being hurt most by inflated asset prices. Dent outlines what tends to break first when major bubbles unwind and why the initial phase of a crash often happens faster than investors expect. Finally, he shares how he thinks about positioning during extreme market stress and where opportunity may emerge after a full reset. 💡Protect your wealth with real gold and silver through Hard Assets Alliance: https://www.hardassetsalliance.com/?aff=WTH Chapters: 0:49 - Checking the Pulse: What Do You See Across Markets Today?   4:36 - Recalibrating Your Framework for a Government-Driven Boom 6:28 - “The Bubble That Never Bursts” — Or Just the Biggest Yet? 8:39 - Has Policy Killed True Price Discovery? 13:06 - Can Demographics Deflate the Bubble Without a Crash? 15:19 - The “K Economy” and Millennials Stuck on the Wrong Side 16:44 - Is There a Less Destructive Way to Help Millennials? 24:21 - Early Warning Signs: Where Does the Fallout Hit First? 25:40 - ⭐️Wealthion Golden Nugget: What Finally Pops The Bubble? 28:07 - Investor Playbook: How Should People Position Now? 30:07 - Timing the Trade: Early vs. Late in the Cycle 33:24 - Gold: Safe Haven or Just Another Bubble? 34:28 - Treasuries: Still the Last Safe Haven? 36:27 - Crypto in a Crash: Where Does Bitcoin Fit? 40:01 - What Would Change Your Mind: Is There a “Moderate” Exit?

Get a free portfolio review with Wealthion’s endorsed financial advisors: https://bit.ly/4q3K4w1 Blockchain technology is no longer just hype. Corporations are now adopting this technology, and Santiago Roel Santos, founder & CEO of Inversion, argues that every business will use blockchain technology over the next 25 years, in much the same way every business eventually adopted the internet. In this interview with CoinFund’s Chris Perkins, Santiago breaks down blockchain’s real impact: reducing friction in financial systems, lowering costs, improving transparency, and reshaping how businesses move money. From payments and stablecoins to private equity, infrastructure, and capital markets, this technology is gradually becoming the internet's settlement layer. This secular trend now set in motion is bigger than simply “crypto winning.”It’s about financial infrastructure evolving and why businesses that ignore it risk being left behind. 💡As financial infrastructure evolves, portfolio resilience becomes critical.

• Michael Green: How Speculative Behavior Is Shaping a Generation and Warping Market Reality

  💡If markets feel more like a casino these days… you’re not imagining it. Protect your financial future with a free portfolio review from Wealthion’s endorsed advisors: https://bit.ly/48PUrNe In part 2 of our interview with Michael Green, portfolio manager and chief strategist at Simplify Asset Management, he explains why the stock market has become disconnected from fundamentals and why that shift is pushing an entire generation toward speculation. Passive investing, momentum flows, and distorted market structure have created an environment where prices no longer reflect business value. Instead, the system increasingly behaves like a closed loop of capital flows, rewarding size rather than fundamentals. This dislocation, Green argues, has produced a “nihilistic” response among younger investors who no longer see a credible path to long-term wealth through traditional saving and investing. When the system feels stacked against you, asymmetric bets — crypto, meme stocks, options — can seem rational. He also breaks down: * Why passive investing reshaped market mechanics * How fundamentals became irrelevant in a market ruled by flows * Why younger generations adopt “lottery ticket” strategies * The structural reasons speculation may keep rising * The risks of a market that no longer reallocates capital efficiently This is part 2 of our interview with Michael Green.

• Michael Green: Where the Real Poverty Line Is | Why Lower Inflation Isn’t Fixing the Cost of Living

  💡Concerned today’s economy is leaving households behind? Get a free portfolio review with Wealthion’s endorsed financial advisors: https://bit.ly/4aK8GW9 Michael Green’s Substack article “My Life Is a Lie” has gone viral for challenging how the federal government defines the poverty line and why that definition no longer reflects reality in 2025. In this conversation, Michael Green, portfolio manager and chief strategist at Simplify Asset Management, explains why the official poverty line is decades out of date, how benefit cliffs and rising price levels trap households above the poverty threshold, and why families making up to $140,000 can still feel like they’re in a financially precarious position. He breaks down: * Why lower inflation doesn’t mean lower living costs * How CPI and poverty line calculations miss real household cash flow * Why growth in AI and data centers isn’t reaching most people * And why millions feel “already underwater” despite positive economic data If you’ve seen debates about the modern poverty line, the $140K poverty threshold, or Michael Green’s viral Substack, this interview provides the full economic context behind the headlines.
