Do the recent headlines speculating that Saudi Arabia may be ready to give up the petrodollar and start pricing oil in grams of gold? Luke Gromen sees that as "inevitable".

With the aggressive return of higher interest rates, the gargantuan piles of debt that world nations owe to each other suddenly become a lot more worrisome. Higher interest rates means higher debt service costs. Which means less money left over for governments to fund their operations. Today's guest, macro analyst Luke Gromen, has long warned that the world has been heading into a massive sovereign debt crisis. Have today's rising interest rates just accelerated the day of reckoning? And what will such a reckoning look like? In this video, we dive deep with Luke for answers. ************************************************* At Wealthion, we show you how to protect and build your wealth by learning from the world’s top experts on finance and money.

Car prices went bananas after COVID hit -- propelled by inventory shortages from disrupted supply chains & the unprecedented stimulus sent to businesses & households. Now here in 2022, the boom may be ending. Used car prices which nearly doubled post-COVID, have fallen for much of this year -- though still remain much higher than their pre-pandemic lows. Also, lax lending standards in extending auto loans during the recent boom are coming back to bite lenders -- the percentage of loans that are at least 60 days delinquent hit 1.65% in the third quarter, the highest rate for 60-day delinquencies in more than a decade. Where is the auto market headed from here? Will patient buyers be rewarded with better values in 2023? To find out, we're fortunate to welcome Charlie Chesbrough, chief economist of Cox Automotive to the program. ************************************************* At Wealthion, we show you how to protect and build your wealth by learning from the world’s top experts on finance and money.

A lot of focus is put on the employment rate by today's economists. And by their measure, the jobs market is still robust, with unemployment, currently at 3.7%, down near all-time lows. However, those calculations completely ignore the 100 million US adults categorized as "not in the labor force" who do not work and are not looking for work. That's pretty much 1 out of every 3 US adults. A good number of those people are retired or are students. Some are caregivers and some are on disability. But a growing number of them, especially men between 25-54 years old, are voluntarily giving up finding work. It's gotten to the point where 1 in 6 prime working age men has no paid work at all.  Economist Nicholas Eberstadt calls the rise of this "non-working class"  and the associated despair that comes with it, "America's invisible crisis". Nicholas is the Henry Wendt Chair in Political Economy at the American Enterprise Institute and author of the book Men Without Work. We're fortunate to speak with him today about the implications of our deteriorating labor force & the most needed reforms to address it. ************************************************* IMPORTANT NOTE: The information and opinions offered in this video by Wealthion or its interview guests are for educational purposes ONLY and should NOT be construed as personal financial advice.

At the close of the worst years for stocks & bonds combined on record, markets are trying to engineer a year-end rally to convince investors the bear market is over. Is it?  And as we enter 2023 where is all this headed? Will asset prices shrug off the growing litany of macro concerns and recover in the new year? Or will 2023 be another bruising year for portfolios? I can't think of anyone better to ask these questions to than today's expert, Felix Zulauf, owner & President of Zulauf Asset Management, who last appeared on this program in early February & made the prediction of a 20% market correction by mid-year, which proved dead-on accurate. Felix manages billions in assets, so he doesn't have the luxury of an opinion without conviction.  He has a strong picture of where we are in the current market cycle & is allocating capital accordingly. ************************************************* At Wealthion, we show you how to protect and build your wealth by learning from the world’s top experts on finance and money.

Like it or not, central bank policy remains a principal driver of asset prices in the financial markets today. This year the Federal Reserve and many other central banks reversed years of easy monetary policy and began hiking interest rates & tightening their balance sheets. One of the worst years ever for stocks & bonds has ensued. As recently as last week, Fed Chair Jerome Powell answered comments for the public at the Brookings Institute and, given how they interpreted -- or possibly misinterpreted -- what they heard, the markets roared higher in response. So given its outsized influence, it's always wise to pay close attention to the dynamics at the Fed and assess what it's most likely to do next. To help us in that, we welcome noted Fed-watcher Axel Merk, President and Chief Investment Officer of Merk Investments to the program today. https://youtu.be/dGw2hep7Jcw ************************************************* At Wealthion, we show you how to protect and build your wealth by learning from the world’s top experts on finance and money.

Last week saw a deluge of news – from Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s public comments to several jobs reports as well as new data on the housing market. To get help processing it all, at the week’s end I invited Mike “Mish” Shedlock to join me on a Twitter Space and hash through our thinking together. A rollicking (and quite lengthy) conversation ensured – including a fair amount of Q&A with those who listened live to the discussion, several of whom added valuable “boots on the ground” intelligence to our housing market discussion.  The discussion was substantive enough that I think you, our Podcast audience, will enjoy hearing it, too.
