Wealthion - Be Financially Resilient

Scott Bessent is making a major move in the U.S. Treasury market as long-term bond yields remain under pressure. Mike Green joins Maggie Lake to explain what Bessent is really trying to accomplish with expanded Treasury bond buybacks — and why he believes the deeper problem in the bond market is being widely misunderstood.

Green breaks down the changing structure of the U.S. bond market, the growing influence of passive investing, and why traditional bond buyers are behaving differently than they have in the past. He explains why Treasury may have little choice but to act, why the debate over yield curve control may be missing the point, and how Federal Reserve interest-rate policy could actually be contributing to some of the inflation pressures policymakers are trying to fight.

Plus, Green discusses the risks building beneath passive investing, what could trigger a broader market crisis, why many American households are moving closer to a financial breaking point, and how gold fits into an environment defined by declining trust in institutions.

💡 Mike Green explains why stress in the bond market may be about much more than U.S. debt — from changing Treasury buyers and passive flows to Federal Reserve policy and rising interest rates.

Oil is back near $100 — but Art Berman says one of the biggest stories in the global oil market may be getting misread.In this conversation, the veteran energy analyst challenges the idea that China has simply managed the oil shock by drawing on massive strategic reserves. Instead, Berman points to sharply lower refinery runs and argues that the more important signal may be weakening Chinese demand for gasoline, diesel and jet fuel.Is China rationing energy? Is its economy slowing more than markets realize? Or is it both?Berman explains why the answer could have major implications for oil prices, global demand and the broader energy outlook.💡 Art Berman warns that falling Chinese refinery activity could be signaling much weaker oil demand than headline numbers suggest — with major implications for crude prices, energy markets and the global economy.

Michael Oliver believes the next major phase of the precious metals bull market could be far more explosive than investors expect — and gold and silver miners may be the trade to watch.

Oliver explains why mining stocks remain historically cheap relative to gold and silver, the technical breakout he believes could trigger a dramatic revaluation across the sector, and why silver could ultimately reach $300–$500.

He also warns that mounting stress in the U.S. government debt and bond markets could accelerate demand for monetary metals, potentially sending gold, silver and precious-metals mining stocks sharply higher.

Why does Oliver favor silver miners over gold miners? What signal would tell him the breakout has officially begun? And could silver really reach $500?

Michael Oliver breaks down the setup — and why he believes the biggest move in precious metals may still be ahead.

💡 Michael Oliver says silver could ultimately reach $300–$500 — and believes gold and silver miners may be approaching a major breakout as government debt stress builds.

Gold is swinging hard again — rebounding sharply today after an early selloff pushed prices to a near one-month low. But i-80 Gold CEO Richard Young says investors focused on the day-to-day volatility may be missing a much bigger shift in gold and commodities.

In this conversation with Trey Reik, Young explains why he believes gold and commodities could be in a 5, 10, even 20-year run, why mining companies may increasingly benefit from expanding margins as technology becomes more capital intensive, and why hard assets with long lives and strong “moats” could become increasingly valuable.

Young also breaks down what investors should look for when evaluating gold miners, why Nevada remains such an attractive mining jurisdiction, and how i-80 Gold navigated a massive recapitalization when hundreds of millions of dollars were coming due.

Is the recent volatility just another shakeout inside a much bigger gold bull market?

💡 Richard Young says gold and commodities could be in a 5-, 10-, even 20-year bull run — and argues that hard assets, strong mining margins, and long-life assets may become increasingly valuable as the investment landscape shifts.

David Rosenberg believes investors are overlooking a growing disconnect between market optimism and the underlying economy.

In this conversation with Maggie Lake, Rosenberg explains how he is positioning for a more fragile economic backdrop — including exposure to equities, bonds and hard assets — and why he currently sees opportunity at the front end of the Treasury curve.

He also takes direct aim at the AI boom, arguing that the biggest risk may not be the technology itself, but investor behavior surrounding it. Rosenberg points to surging margin debt, historically low cash levels, extreme equity exposure and elevated valuations as signs that the market is displaying familiar bubble characteristics.

He also breaks down why the recent rise in Treasury yields may be more about uncertainty and real rates than inflation expectations alone, and why he still believes the next major shift could come from the labor market.

Looking toward the fourth quarter, Rosenberg says repeated negative payroll prints and a rising unemployment rate could force investors — and the Fed — to shift their focus away from inflation and back toward recession risk.

Could the market narrative flip faster than investors expect?

💡 David Rosenberg warns that “every bubble pops” — and says surging leverage, extreme market positioning and a weakening labor backdrop could leave investors exposed.
