Wealthion - Be Financially Resilient

The technical chart data looks really bullish here, observes financial advisor Lance Roberts. But none of the fundamentals do, he also warns. Bullish technicals. Bearish fundamentals.

Inflation and slowing economic growth is affecting all corners of the globe these days, but perhaps nowhere as much as Europe -- which is also dealing with a massive energy crisis. We spend a lot of time focusing on the US economy on this program, 1) because the majority of this channel's viewers reside in the US and 2) it has the world's largest economy and, for better or worse, what happens in America drives much of the action the rest of the world reacts to. But today we're going to get a European perspective, both on the action in the US as well as the major challenges Europe is grappling with.  For that, we welcome Diego Parrilla, Managing Director of Quadriga Asset Manager back to the program. https://youtu.be/rZVfE8cqmf4 Learn more about your ad choices.

Money manager Michael Pento returns for Part 2 of this interview to share how he is currently positioning his firm's portfolio for the 40% market correction he sees coming ahead.   Cash, US dollar, long-dated US Treasury bonds & shorts are what Michael calls "The 4 Horsemen" -- the key assets you want to hold during a market crash. He's also has positions in gold and utilities at this moment, too. https://youtu.be/M2IRqmHcMBg Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Money manager Michael Pento distrusts the current rally in stocks. He thinks it's a classic short-lived rally within a secular bear market. That, combined with the Fed interest rate hike campaign to tame inflation, which he expects to drive the economy into recession, is going to result in a 40% decline in stocks by Spring 2023. https://youtu.be/tKFDT50UVic Learn more about your ad choices.

Macro analyst Jesse Felder returns for Part 2 of our interview with him in which he explains the math behind why the markets would need to decline by at least 50% to be considered anywhere close to "fairly valued" He then shares the assets he likes best for the challenging road he sees ahead over the coming year. https://youtu.be/abqDpTjyc44 Learn more about your ad choices.

The market is in danger, warns macro analyst Jesse Felder. The rise of inflation and the reversal of globalization is a HUGE paradigm shift that the market doesn’t appropriately appreciate it yet. The Fed’s hands are tied while inflation remains a challenge, and it likely will be for a long time because the new principal trends in play (on-shoring, tightening labor force) are inflationary. Taming inflation is going to be a protracted, painful process – and likely won’t go back to the disinflationary trajectory we’ve been on since the 1980s. A massive repricing across asset classes is needed & a new rulebook for investing is required.  This is why the market is in such danger. The market hasn’t woken up to this paradigm shift AND valuations, despite the correction this year, are still very close to record highs. There’s a lot of room to fall here, especially as profit margins are at all-time highs. Jeremey Grantham claims they mean revert more than almost any other data set. So they are due for a whopper of a mean reversion from these elevated levels. Will the trigger be a market event? Or a social one? As history shows, too-high profits inevitably lead to wealth inequality that resolved via re-distribution (either effected by the State or an angry rebelling populace). It’s no surprise that Congress is discussing higher corp tax rates. As for how far the market could drop, Jesse can pretty easily make an argument that financial assets could fall 50% before being considered ‘fairly valued’. The 1973-74 bear market looks like a good analogue to where we are in 2022 given similarities in inflation & Fed policy. The S&P was cut in half during this period. https://youtu.be/chavLDpr6Uk Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
