2026 forward corporate earning estimates are the farthest they have ever been from historical averages.This makes a future downward revision a near-guarantee at this point; which will in turn force stocks to reprice downwards as well.So warns portfolio manager Lance Roberts.While he doesn't see much on the immediate radar to suggest the market is in any near-term trouble, he's concerned this lurking repricing risk will grow the more that earning estimates distort to the upside.For everything that mattered to markets this week, watch this Weekly Market Recap video.

Today, you're in for a real treat folks.We welcome back to the program one of my all-time favorite humans, Joel Salatin.Named "the most famous farmer in America", Joel has spent his career advocating for sustainable farming practices, and pioneering models that show how food can be grown & raised in ways that:- are regenerative to our topsoils- are more humane to livestock- produce much healthier, tastier food- contribute profitably to the local economyWho wouldn't want that?Well, the government and Big Ag for starters.Joel refers to himself a "lunatic farmer" because so many of the changes he thinks our food systems need are either illegal under current law or mightily resisted by the deep-pocketed corporations controlling production and distribution.But that doesn't stop him from his passion of inspiring others to take a better path. He co-owns and operates, with his family, Polyface Farm in Swoope, Virginia. Featured in the New York Times bestseller Omnivore’s Dilemma and award-winning documentary Food Inc., the farm services more than 5,000 families, 50 restaurants, 10 retail outlets, and a farmers’ market with produce and pastured beef, pork, poultry, as well as forestry products. On the farm, Joel and his staff pilot new practices, mentor young farmers, educate the public, and produce an excellent set of workshops for those looking to truly 'get their hands dirty' learning how to farm sustainably.He's a true hero to many, including me. And I predict he'll be one of yours, too, by the end of this discussion.For a very important look into the failures & promise of our nation’s food system, watch this video

When the precious metals enter into a bull market, the shares of the companies that mine them usually outperform the price gains of gold and silver -- sometimes wildly.Well, a precious metals bull market is currently underway and the mining shares are indeed starting to come to life.How much farther do they likely have to run?And when investing in precious metals mining companies, what should investors look for?For answers, we have the good fortune to welcome analyst Jeff Clark back to the program. Jeff is the publisher of the Gold Advisor family of mining stock newsletters and author of the book Paydirt: Mining for Profits with Gold & Silver Stocks.While Jeff says the "easy money" has now been made in the mining stock sector, don't fret if you've missed it -- because he also predicts the "big money" still lies ahead.

The market has been in a "bullish stampede" for an impressive while now.

But with corporate earnings deviated by a record amount from their historic averages, extreme stock valuations, and now clear signs the economy is slowing, portfolio manager Lance Roberts sees the odds of a market correction -- and a recession -- rising.

Is there a chance that correction began on Friday?

Lance and I discuss the odds, as well as breakdown the latest economic data, this week's FOMC decision, recession chances, and Lance's firm's latest trades in this week's Market Recap.

The initial Q2 2025 GDP growth number was just released and it beat expectations handily, coming in at a "strong" 3.0%But...when looking just a little bit beneath the surface, the data doesn't look as impressive as on first glance. For example, the biggest contributor by far to the "beat" was shrinking inventories relative to the massive Q1 pre-orders that were made as corporations front-ran the Trump tariffs.So, just as the negative Q1 GDP number wasn't truly as bad as it seemed, similarly the Q2 number isn't as robust as the headline suggests.The team from New Harbor Financial and I dig into what the true reality likely is, as well as discuss the latest FOMC release, the tremendous amount of speculation in the markets today, and the latest price action in gold, silver and Bitcoin.

A few hours ago, the Federal Reserve Open Market Committee released the outcome of its meeting this week, keeping its policy rate unchanged (as expected) as well as the pace of its Quantitative Tightening program.

And just a little while ago, Fed Chair Jerome Powell just wrapped up his press conference related to this release. The market’s reaction (so far) has been fairly negative, with the S&P dropping in the red over the past hour.

And I’m also happy to announce that Fed-watcher Axel Merk is joining us again to deliver his expert reaction to the Fed’s latest guidance as well as take your questions live.

Earlier this year the markets sold off rather violently on fears that President Trump's new tariffs would send global trade into a tailspin.Fast forward three months and stocks are back to all-time highs, even as it's becoming clearer that these tariffs, in some shape or form, are here to stay.Are tariffs not the grave mistake Wall Street originally thought they were?Or have investors simply decided to stop caring about them?To discuss, we're fortunate to welcome to the program, Peter Tchir, Head of Macro Strategy at Academy Securities.

Despite stretched valuation levels and further signs that the consumer is struggling, stocks are partying on.

Portfolio manager Lance Roberts sees stocks prices as having "detached from all the underlying economic data" at this point.

That doesn't mean they won't go even higher still here in the near term.

But he does think the probability of a correction is now quite high.

So how is he positioning for that?

We discuss that, as well as what earnings season is currently telling us, what the Fed is most likely to announce next week, how AI is super-concentrating wealth in both the corporate sector as well as consumer households, the long term risks to the markets, and Lance's firm's latest trades.

For everything that mattered to markets this week, watch this video.
