Steven Feldman, CEO of GBI and Wealthion, explores how AI investment risks extend beyond tech stocks to data centers, surging electricity demand, and the physical commodities powering the technology boom.

Larry McDonald predicts a 30% S&P 500 decline over the next year. But the founder of The Bear Traps Report also sees opportunities in long-term bonds, beaten-down stocks and companies that own hard assets. Could your portfolio be more exposed to the AI trade than you realize? Request a complimentary, no-obligation portfolio review with an advisor in Wealthion’s network to discuss concentration, diversification and your investment goals: https://bit.ly/4e9LsJV Joining Maggie Lake, the former Lehman Brothers trader explains his concerns about passive investing, AI stock valuations and S&P 500 concentration.

McDonald also makes his case for a longer-term rotation toward energy, materials and industrials.

He also identifies SLB, Intuitive Surgical and Baxter as companies he believes could benefit from AI through their data. Beyond stocks and bonds, McDonald explores how stablecoins could increase demand for U.S. Treasury bills and help finance U.S. debt. He shares his views on financial repression, yield curve control and the possibility of gold revaluation as a policy tool.

📈 Want to speak directly with Trey Reik? Sign up for a complimentary portfolio review with GBI's Chief Economist to discuss your investments, ask questions, and get his perspective on positioning your portfolio for what lies ahead. Gold has come under pressure, leaving investors wondering whether the precious metal has further to fall. But one leading economist believes the forces driving gold's long-term bull market are stronger than ever. In this conversation, Trey Reik, GBI's Chief Economist, joins GoldSilver's Megan King Diaz to explain why he believes gold's next major move will be higher — and why the Federal Reserve could be the catalyst. Reik identifies $4,000 as a critical support level for gold, warning that a sustained break could send prices toward $3,600. But he also makes the case that growing federal debt, Treasury market instability, weakening confidence in the dollar, and mounting pressure on the Fed could ultimately send gold sharply higher. They also discuss: - 🥇 Gold's Next Move: Why Reik believes the bull market is far from over. - 📉 The $4,000 Warning: What happens if this critical support level fails? - 🏦 The Federal Reserve: Why the Fed may be unable to pursue aggressive interest-rate hikes. - 💵 Debt & the Dollar: How fiscal pressures and currency debasement strengthen the long-term case for gold. - 📊 Gold Mining Stocks: Why miners' relative resilience could signal confidence among long-term investors. - 🌎 Market Volatility: Why investors may be selling gold to raise cash — and what could reverse that trend. Is this a buying opportunity, or should investors prepare for more downside? Watch as Trey Reik breaks down the risks, opportunities, and forces that could determine gold's next major move.

🏠 Could the housing downturn put your investments at risk? Get a second opinion on your portfolio with Wealthion: https://bit.ly/4e9LsJV Is the U.S. housing market headed for a deeper crash? Real estate expert Nick Gerli, founder of Reventure, joins Maggie Lake to explain why America's housing market is experiencing a multiyear recession — and why he believes more pain is coming. Austin home prices have fallen 27%, according to Nick's analysis, while sellers in Florida, Texas and other Sun Belt markets are taking significant losses. Yet parts of the Northeast remain surprisingly resilient. Nick breaks down why mortgage rates aren't the real problem, why renting is often cheaper than buying, and why falling home prices haven't brought buyers back. They also examine the growing distress in multifamily real estate, the coming wave of baby boomer home sales, and whether the next housing downturn could resemble the 2008 financial crisis. Are we approaching a housing market bottom — or is the worst still ahead? Let us know what you're seeing in your local market.

The uranium bull market may have much further to run.Justin Huhn, founder of Uranium Insider, joins Wealthion’s Maggie Lake to break down the growing imbalance between global uranium supply and nuclear power demand — and what it could mean for uranium prices, uranium stocks and investors.Huhn explains why increasing mine production hasn’t solved the market’s structural supply problem, why the long-term uranium contract market may be more important than the spot price, and how utilities are positioning as they secure fuel well into the 2030s.They also discuss the accelerating nuclear renaissance, AI and data-center power demand, the outlook for uranium miners, the role of major producers such as Cameco and Kazatomprom, and where Huhn sees the biggest opportunities — and risks — in the uranium trade.Topics include:Uranium prices • Uranium stocks • Nuclear energy • Uranium supply and demand • AI power demand • Nuclear fuel • Uranium mining • Commodities • Energy investing • Cameco • Kazatomprom • SMRsIf nuclear power demand continues to rise faster than new uranium supply can come online, what happens next? #Uranium #NuclearEnergy #UraniumStocks #Investing #Commodities 💡 If uranium demand keeps rising while supply struggles to keep pace, what does that mean for your portfolio?

Are investors really diversified — or has the AI boom turned major stock indexes into one enormous concentrated bet? Rupert Mitchell, author of The Blind Squirrel, joins Maggie Lake to explain why he believes traditional index investing may now offer a false sense of diversification. His concern: U.S. stocks remain expensive, AI and semiconductor exposure dominates more portfolios than investors realize, and even global indexes may be far more concentrated than they appear. Mitchell explains why he currently favors the equal-weight S&P 500 over the Nasdaq-100, where he sees better value outside U.S. equities, and how he is constructing a portfolio designed to survive the next 20 years. They also discuss: • Why U.S. equities look historically expensive • The growing concentration of AI and semiconductor stocks • Equal-weight S&P 500 vs. Nasdaq-100 • Whether the economics of the AI boom will actually hold up • Gold’s role in a changing global monetary system • China’s growing influence over oil prices • Why energy stocks could benefit from a new oil-price regime • Copper, Glencore and long-term commodity exposure • How AI could disrupt banks and the financial system • Why global diversification may matter more than ever Are you actually diversified — or does your portfolio depend far more on AI than you realize? Let us know in the comments. 💡 Are you as diversified as you think? If your portfolio is heavily exposed to the same AI-driven names and market themes Rupert describes, your diversification may be more concentrated than it appears.

Could rising interest rates burst the AI bubble—and leave investors exposed in both stocks and bonds? Jesse Felder, founder of The Felder Report, joins Maggie Lake to discuss inflation, Treasury yields, gold and why he believes the commodity supercycle still has room to run. Felder explains why he sees the potential for another 150–200 basis points of Federal Reserve rate hikes, how tighter credit could threaten the AI investment boom, and why he favors value stocks and real assets in this environment. The conversation covers bond market instability, private credit risks, AI spending and the case for commodities. Felder also explains why gold could face near-term pressure from higher rates—and how a future Fed intervention could change its outlook 💡 How exposed is your portfolio to the risks Jesse describes?

Mike McGlone says gold, copper and even Bitcoin have become "stock puppets," so correlated with the S&P 500 that a 10% drop in stocks could crush them all together. Why the asset you thought was a hedge may not be diversifying you at all.Bloomberg commodity strategist Mike McGlone joins Maggie Lake to explain why nearly every major asset, from metals to crypto to oil, is now trading on the back of one thing: the US stock market. He walks through why gold's push above $5,000 and its pullback are a warning rather than a new bull trend, why copper and Bitcoin are lagging stocks at much higher volatility, why he expects crude and diesel to revert to their cost of production, and why he sees a disinflationary reset coming once equities stall.What McGlone covers:Why gold, copper and Bitcoin have become correlated "stock puppets" of the S&P 500The bond market, the 10-year yield above 5%, and what is really driving itWhy he expects energy prices, especially diesel, to revert sharply lowerGold's exciting volatility as a warning sign, not a reason to chase itWhy he thinks Bitcoin's cycle still points toward a much lower lowGrains, soybeans and the one commodity group that is not a stock puppetWhy a 10% drop in the stock market is the real risk to watch this cycle💡 Gold, copper and Bitcoin may look like diversification, but Mike McGlone argues they could all be more tied to the stock market than investors realize.

Investors have spent years waiting for the U.S. economy to crack. Chris Galipeau of Franklin Templeton says they may be making a costly mistake. In this conversation with Wealthion’s Maggie Lake, Galipeau explains why the recession narrative has repeatedly failed, why the American consumer and corporate earnings remain more resilient than many investors realize, and why fears surrounding AI, jobs, geopolitics, and the broader economy may be obscuring what actually matters for markets. Galipeau also breaks down why today’s AI boom looks different from the dot-com bubble, where he sees real investment opportunities emerging, and why investors focused relentlessly on the next crisis risk missing the strength already hiding in plain sight. In this interview: • Why recession calls have repeatedly missed the mark • What consumer strength is telling us about the U.S. economy • Why AI may not destroy jobs the way many fear • AI boom vs. the dot-com bubble • Why corporate earnings matter more than the doom narrative • Where investors may be overlooking opportunity • What could change Galipeau’s bullish outlook 💡 Chris Galipeau says volatility can create opportunity — but only if your portfolio is prepared for it.

The CLARITY Act failed to advance in the Senate — but the transformation of crypto and the financial system may be moving forward anyway. Maggie Lake sits down with Brett Rentmeester, founder and managing director of WindRock Wealth Management, to unpack what the setback means for Bitcoin, Ethereum, stablecoins and crypto regulation — and why the battle over stablecoin yields could have major implications for traditional banks. Rentmeester explains how the SEC and CFTC could shape the next phase of digital assets even without new legislation, why Wall Street is accelerating its push into tokenization, and how blockchain could fundamentally change the way stocks and other financial assets trade and settle. They also explore Bitcoin’s four-year cycle, institutional adoption, the growing intersection between AI and crypto, and whether today’s volatility could ultimately give way to a much larger transformation of the financial system. Plus, hear Tom Lee explain why Wall Street’s embrace of blockchain, tokenized securities and stablecoins could mark a major turning point for crypto. 💡 Brett Rentmeester says crypto is entering a new phase — with stablecoins, tokenization and institutional adoption beginning to reshape the financial system, even as volatility remains extreme.

Jonathan Wellum says investors need to pay attention to what all of those forces could mean for markets — and for the purchasing power of their money.Jonathan Wellum, CEO and CIO of RockLinc Investment Partners, joins Maggie Lake to explain why he believes we are in a “debt bubble,” why higher inflation and interest rates could put pressure on stock valuations, and why massive investment in artificial intelligence could eventually lead to overinvestment, write-offs and financial damage.Wellum also explains why investors should focus on companies with pricing power and strong balance sheets, why he continues to favor hard assets such as gold, silver, copper and uranium, and why bonds could eventually become an attractive opportunity again if interest rates peak and the economy slows.Plus, Jonathan takes us inside his recent visit to the historic Prairie Creek mining project in Canada’s Northwest Territories — a remarkable silver and critical-minerals project originally developed by the Hunt brothers.In this conversation:• Why Jonathan Wellum says we’re in a debt bubble• What persistent inflation means for stock valuations• Why higher interest rates are putting pressure on the financial system• The risk of overinvestment in the AI boom• Why gold can help protect purchasing power• The structural case for silver, copper and uranium• Why investors shouldn’t completely give up on bonds• What Jonathan is looking for before extending bond duration• The extraordinary story of the Prairie Creek silver mine• How investors can build more resilient portfolios in volatile markets 💡 Jonathan Wellum warns that stubborn inflation, higher interest rates and a massive global debt burden could put increasing pressure on markets — making capital preservation and purchasing power more important than ever.

Economist and longtime investor Mark Skousen joins Wealthion’s Maggie Lake with a surprisingly bullish message: despite persistent inflation, rising interest rates, massive U.S. deficits and stretched technology valuations, he remains 100% invested in the stock market. Skousen explains why he believes the bull market can continue, even as he warns that some tech stocks “could fall in half and still be overvalued.” He breaks down the risks of an eventual market bubble, the impact of Federal Reserve policy and higher Treasury yields, and why he believes investors must prepare for what he calls a “permanent inflation” environment. Maggie and Mark also discuss AI stocks, the U.S. debt and Treasury market, gold, Bitcoin, copper, uranium, oil and energy stocks, plus why Skousen favors dividend-paying companies and diversification over trying to predict exactly when the next market crisis will hit. And despite the warning signs? Skousen says he’s staying with the trend until it breaks: “I’m fully invested. I’m 100% invested.” 💡 Mark Skousen believes investors are facing a “permanent inflation” environment — even as technology valuations look stretched and new market risks continue to build. Yet he remains 100% invested, relying on diversification, dividend-paying stocks and exposure to real assets to navigate what comes next.
