At Wealthion, we show you how to protect and build your wealth by learning from the world’s top experts on finance and money. Each week we add new videos that provide you with access to the foremost specialists in investing, economics, the stock market, real estate and personal finance.

We offer exceptional interviews and explainer videos that dive deep into the trends driving today's markets, the economy, and your own net worth. We give you strategies for financial security, practical answers to questions like “how to grow my investments?”, and effective solutions for wealth building tailored to 'regular' investors just like you.

There’s no doubt that it's a very challenging time right now for the average investor. Above and beyond the recent economic impacts of COVID, the new era of record low interest rates, runaway US debt and US deficits, and trillions of dollars in monetary and fiscal stimulus stimulus has changed the rules of investing by dangerously distorting the Dow index, the S&P 500, and nearly all other asset prices. Can prices keep rising, or is there a painful reckoning ahead?

Let us help you prepare your portfolio just in case the future brings one or more of the following: inflation, deflation, a bull market, a bear market, a market correction, a stock market crash, a real estate bubble, a real estate crash, an economic boom, a recession, a depression, or another global financial crisis.

Put the wisdom from the money & markets experts we feature on Wealthion into action by scheduling a free consultation with Wealthion’s endorsed financial advisors, who will work with you to determine the right next steps for you to take in building your wealth.

Mike is great. One of the best.
Just be prepared for what is coming. This won't end well.

The Fed's talk of interest rate cut leaves me pondering what stocks to buy now and when do I sell? I'm unsure how to properly allocate my money to achieve an optimal portfolio in this present economy, my goal is $3m for retirement.

[STOICIZMUS]

Great interview. Mike is awesome as usual.

[dailydoseofnews]

Thanks for this always enjoy gettin an update on Mikes views

[JohnLin-kgeu]

Perhaps the host feels Under-Taxed; however, most citizens feel Over-Taxed.... This is another bifurcation! No one is stopping anyone from paying more taxes if they feel like they should pay more in taxes. Perhaps the rich should step-up and willingly pay more in taxes.

[dwaynecarroll]

Agree with Mike and also Paul belanger. It might be a little stale but Paul estimated in a great video about how much gold you needed to insure your net worth and there was about a little over 1oz of gold for every adult on the planet mined thru history. Gold bugs do not beleive that.
The same holds for silver, platnium, and palladium.
Its a good video. He calls it the 100 oz club. Each oz of gold for instance is equivalent to about $70k of the world's wealth according to CS report.

Sounds familiar not thinking about thinking about raising rates then fed was like ⬆️

[Heyamanda-Cooper]

The Fed's talk of interest rate cut leaves me pondering what stocks to buy now and when do I sell? I'm unsure how to properly allocate $500K to achieve an optimal portfolio considering the uncertainty of stock prices and the economy, my goal is $3m for retirement.

Would love to see Mike discuss his view on BTC with Saiffedean or Lyn Alden. Can't understand why he beleives inelasticity is anti-innovative?

Just decided to check back to see if things have improved since Wealthion 2.0, sadly no improvement. We need better moderators.

The "bifurcation" that is happening is (in my opinion) happening because people don't take life seriously anymore. I talk to people all the time and tell them to take their finances and financial knowledge seriously and basically get laughed at because that would require reading and learning...and so almost all of them fail at every turn. They then cry when they don't get the raises that they want (inflation is high and the raises are far short of it) and they ask what i am going to do and i tell them i will go buy myself the raises i want (via dividend stocks) and they argue with me about it until i just say "fine, wait for the company to pay you more and i will go buy myself my raises". It really is just that simple, either you want to solve the problem or you want to complain and the general public would rather just complain then grow and learn.

Scaramucci's buddy, Joe Biden, didn't do so well last night.

[gen-X-trader]

I would love to hear your take on why quality people are purposely kept out of potentially being prepped for president. All kinds of smart articulate people in the nation. What we get are these corporate candidates and polished party spokespeople

[jeffee]

Of course raising interest rates does not affect inflation. There is literally only one thing that can increase or decrease monetary inflation and that is quite simply money printing. Quantitative easing increases and tightening causes disinflation potentially but almost certainly never leading to actual deflation

[margator]

The best way to control inflation is to reduce government spending and increase the supply of goods and services.

[hoytstill]

FED policies are dictated by Congress over spending. FED has managed to kick the can way longer than anyone predicted. But, we are closer than ever to the end game. Or are we?

[gzsg]

What he knows about Bitcoin wouldn’t fill a thimble.

[margator]

Housing prices have to come down, a return to good underwriting policies and income to price ratios. Increasing the supply of oil would be a big help. Green energy is terrible for inflation. Nuclear is the best answer, coupled with increasing oil production and exporting the oil and Nat. gas. Exported oil and Nat. gas could carry a excise tax to help with entitilements and the deficit. We must solve our problems with growth and proserity not austerity. The 5 pillars of prosperity are a good model. (Art Laffer)

Is it true that Scaramucci is 5’1” with a club foot? He’s a diminutive critter😊
