What happens when the Federal Reserve collides with political pressure from the White House? Jim Bianco, President of Bianco Research, joins Maggie Lake to break down the Fed–Trump showdown, the risks of premature rate cuts, and why long-term yields could rise even if the Fed eases. Bianco explains why weak jobs numbers don’t mean recession, how tariffs could reignite inflation, and why markets must adjust to a new era of lower returns across stocks, bonds, and cash — the “4-5-6 market.” He also shares his views on: Bonds & interest rates: Why cutting rates could backfire Stocks & valuations: Retail investors driving momentum, risks for Mag-7 AI & growth: Short-term hype vs. long-term productivity gains Global shift: Why Europe looks cheap — but still can’t rival U.S. tech Crypto: Ethereum and altcoins gaining ground on Bitcoin Gold & silver: Precious metals making a strong comeback This is a must-watch for anyone trying to understand where markets are headed in 2025, and how to position your portfolio in a changing investment cycle.   💡Get our free investing report on silver here: https://wealthion.com/silver/ 💡Concerned about Markets?

“I think this could be way bigger than the internet.” CoinFund’s Seth Ginns describes the opportunity ahead for crypto, predicting the market cap could grow at least 10× in the next few years. In this in-depth conversation with Chris Perkins, Seth explains how Digital Asset Treasuries (DATs) are becoming Wall Street’s bridge into crypto, unlocking staking yields, DeFi income, and permanent capital advantages ETFs can’t match. He breaks down how DATs defend against NAV discounts with buybacks, cash reserves, and M&A, and why strong management teams are critical for success. You’ll also hear why institutional flows, macro tailwinds, and a pro-crypto U.S. policy could power massive growth, how AI + crypto could spawn the next wave of DATs, and why a global M2 liquidity signal that leads Bitcoin’s price by ~100 days has him bullish. Plus, Seth shares his vision for an on-chain equity market that could transform capital formation worldwide.   💡FREE access to our 15 Rick Rule Symposium Interviews by signing up for our Accredited Investor List here: https://wealthion.com/accredited/ 💡Concerned about Markets?

Cannabis stocks are down 80–90% from their all-time highs, and most investors have walked away. But could that set the stage for one of the biggest contrarian trades in years? In this insightful interview, WindRock Wealth Management’s Chris Casey tells Maggie Lake why he believes the cannabis sector is now trading like a distressed asset in a high-growth market.  Despite being a $30B+ industry with widespread legalization in over 40 U.S. states, cannabis companies remain federally shackled by restrictive tax rules, blocked banking access, and a ban on interstate commerce. 🚨 But that may be about to change. Two major catalysts could rewrite the entire investment case: Federal rescheduling of cannabis, removing it from Schedule I classification The SAFER Banking Act giving financial institutions the green light to serve cannabis businesses Key Topics: Why cannabis stocks crashed and what could turn them around The three federal-level obstacles crippling the industry How rescheduling and SAFER could unlock a wave of capital and efficiency The role of big alcohol, tobacco, and pharma in a post-legalization world Why Chris Casey sees this as a “call option on reform” with 2x to 6x upside for market leaders The M&A and consolidation potential when the floodgates open   💡Concerned about Markets?

Is the biggest opportunity in natural resources still ahead? In this high-conviction interview, John Waldie, Senior Portfolio Manager at SCP Resource Finance, joins Trey Reik to explain why we’re still early in the resource bull market—and where the smart money is moving now. From silver’s breakout potential to rare earths, uranium, and early-stage gold exploration, Waldie outlines why SCP is seeing 3x gains and why investors should pay close attention. Waldie also reveals how SCP’s team moves faster than big banks: getting boots on the ground, spotting major discoveries, and financing them before the rest of the market catches on. He explains how deals like a $400M U.S. Department of Defense investment into MP Materials are reshaping the future of resource supply chains, and why silver could soon leave gold in the dust. Key insights: • Why silver could break through $40, and go much higher • How SCP identifies early-stage deals before anyone else • Why U.S. national security is driving rare earth and uranium investments • The SCP private client model: Access to private placements & asymmetric upside • What central banks, BRICS, and de-dollarization mean for gold’s future • Why generalist investors haven’t arrived, and why that’s bullish 💡FREE access to our 15 Rick Rule Symposium Interviews by signing up for our Accredited Investor List here: https://wealthion.com/accredited/ 💡Concerned about Markets?

Michael Green warns that passive investing has quietly turned markets into a self-reinforcing bubble (Ponzi-like in nature) and reveals why bonds now offer once-in-a-generation returns. In this eye-opening conversation with Maggie Lake, Michael explains: How passive flows are distorting market prices and fueling extreme valuations Why today’s AI boom mirrors the dot-com bubble, and what comes next How tariffs & government intervention are reshaping the economy Why the U.S. may already be in a recession (and why it’s not obvious yet) Bonds vs. stocks vs. gold—where he sees true opportunity right now Why small businesses are disappearing while mega-caps consolidate power Michael makes the case that high-quality bonds, especially TIPS, are a rare long-term value, while most equities remain overpriced and speculative.
