Longtime "bond king" Bill Gross has revealed that he is bearish right now on both stocks AND bonds. For bonds, he believes yields will move higher still, largely due to the US' high degree of current deficit spending. And as for stocks, the equity risk premium is at a 15-year low, making stocks look dangerously overvalued. ************************************************* At Wealthion, we show you how to protect and build your wealth by learning from the world’s top experts on finance and money....

There's an old saying in investing: The market can stay irrational longer than you can remain solvent. Why is that? Well, it has a lot to do with how humans make decisions. It's not alway -- or even often -- rational. And today's expert, behavioral economist Peter Atwater, adjunct professor at William & Mary College, has long affirmed that changes in confidence consistently and predictably impact investor preferences, decisions and actions. He's out with a brand new book, The Confidence Map:...

Today I have the pleasure of interviewing someone who does I what I do for a living: interviewing experts on money & the markets.

Welcome to Wealthion. I'm Wealthion founder Adam Taggart, here with something outside our normal routine. I’m going to react to a new song that has exploded virally over the past few days & explain why it may be an important milestone indicating where the economy – and society – are heading.

It's said that history unfolds in cycles. That civilizations and societies boom, bust and rise anew to repeat the pattern -- a pattern that is surprisingly predictable in both its timing and trajectory. Today's guest expert is demographer Neil Howe, co-author of the book The Fourth Turning, a seminal work in which he and his fellow researcher William Strauss laid out the evidence for these "seasons" of societal change that they referred to as "turnings".

For a good while now, experts, including many of those appearing on this channel, have been warning about the "lag effect" of the aggressive interest rate hikes and quantitative tightening program conducted by the Federal Reserve and other major world central banks over the past year. These experts have cautioned the speed & severity of these cooling measures would cause a sharp economic slowdown that could easily result in recession, deflation & a material correction in the financial ma...

When it comes to money, because it's so quantifiable, you'd expect people to make very rational decisions. But they don't. Because we're humans, we're more driven by our evolutionary wiring and our emotions. We make "predictably irrational" decisions, as today's guest expert would say. Dan Ariely is the James B. Duke Professor of Psychology and Behavioral Economics at Duke University and a founding member of the Center for Advanced Hindsight. I've been looking forward for a long time to having h...

If you're watching this, whether you're a fan of fossil fuels or not, there's no denying that modern society is still immensely dependent on them -- particularly oil. Look around you -- practically everything you see required oil somewhere along the process of being mined, manufactured or transported to get to where you are. Even the food you ate today. Oil is still the lifeblood of the global economy. Yet after hitting $120/barrel a year ago, its price has since dropped nearly in half. For an u...
