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.

David Rosenberg's insights / perspectives ALWAYS reflect REALITY - thank you for having him as a guest speaker.

[andreslaurito]

Thank you David Rosenberg for discovering and talking about us unfortunates who had to take more than one part time job and have had companies force us into situations with hours being cut. It’s been 3 years of it so far.

[JamieDupont-tjlx]

Always enjoy hearing Rosie's insights even if he is wrong.

[ParisianThinker]

Thank God for the great David Rosenberg. Great interview. He is the very best.

[majormoolah]

I'm a big fan of John Williams at Shadowstats. What he has shown is that the US government has been playing games with the inflation indicators ever since the early 1980s. If you go back in time and apply the inflation indicators consistently, without the tampering, then the actual US inflation is in the double digits.

[dannymcneely]

Great interview! Madness of Crows is one of my favorite books.

[ElizabethJ.Hayden]

I had initially planned to retire at 62, work part-time, and save money, but the impact of high prices on various goods and services has significantly disrupted my retirement plan. I'm worried about whether those who experienced the 2008 financial crisis had it easier than I currently am. The volatility of the stock market is a concern as my income has decreased, and I fear that I won't be able to contribute as much as before, potentially jeopardizing my retirement savings.

[joeysocks]

Great interview. It’s going to be an “interesting” year. God help us all

[LeoVerRosa]

Thanks for the book recommendations... will need to check it out.

[RachelCunningham-utks]

Agreed - Govt debt SUBSIDIZES the economy. They cant subsidize the entire household sector with no consequences

[davidhamilton]

At the end of Feb new car sales were down over 25% from the same period last year.

[joebagodonuts]

The Unemployment Rate is much higher than the official government number and they know it.

[bellakrinkle]

We all need more reality provided by Rosemberg instead of fantasyland that we get constantly, elsewhere.

[josephdeutsch]

12:55 overtightened based on what? Financial conditions are loose, and isnt thay really what their levers control? (At least the perception of control)

[peterk]

I bow down to the holy grail of David Rosenberg.

[cabragooncabulous]

Oh! Mr Rosenberg. I think you’ve vastly underestimated the potential, a greater GFC this one will/ can be vs 2008. By a long shot. Make those comparisons. Make an episode. You may sit quietly in disbelief of what you may find.

[jmaietta]

49:40: The Fed had a hard landing on its hands in March 2023, yet kicked the can down the road with the $200B BTFP. Absent the BTFP U.S. banks would have pulled back hard on credit and caused a much needed recession in early Q2 2023.

[nickcalla]

One tbing you wrong on is infaltion. Price increase is a symptom of inflation. Doesnt matter the strenght of economy. Is Venezuela a stong economy? Argentina too strong ? Compnies dont just make random prices up. They have operating cost which dicates price.

[gregmccain]

Stimulating conversation and enjoyed the Canadian angle (sounds like Canada is f*cked).

[ChrisKAloha]

The consumer is strong with other peoples money.
