November 09 The Energy Supercycle Could Last Into the 2030s | Josef Schachter
Is a new energy supercycle already underway — and could oil climb above $150 a barrel before the end of the decade?Josef Schachter, President of Schachter Energy Research Services and author of the Schachter Energy Report, joins Maggie Lake to explain why he believes the energy and commodity cycle that began after COVID could extend well into the 2030s.Schachter lays out the structural forces behind his bullish outlook: years of underinvestment, rising emerging-market demand, critical mineral shortages, constrained infrastructure, growing power needs and the enormous capital required to bring new oil, natural gas and commodity supply online.He also explains why some energy stocks may still be inexpensive despite the sector's run, where he sees opportunities across producers, natural gas, oilfield services and pipelines, and why North American energy assets could command a growing premium.Plus: Schachter discusses OPEC+, Venezuela, LNG, critical minerals, data-center power demand and what could interrupt the bull case along the way.👉 Get your complimentary Wealthion portfolio review:https://bit.ly/4e9LsJVIn this conversation:• Why Schachter believes we're in an energy supercycle• His case for oil above $150 before the decade ends• Why some energy stocks still trade at low cash-flow multiples• The investment case for oilfield services and natural gas• Why copper, uranium and critical minerals matter• The infrastructure bottleneck keeping supply constrained• Whether OPEC+ still controls the oil market• The opportunity — and challenges — in Venezuela• What the energy boom could mean for investor portfoliosCHAPTERS00:00 Oil Above $150?

November 04 The Credit Market Warning That Could Hit Stocks | Jeff Snider
📈 Get a complimentary portfolio review: https://bit.ly/4e9LsJV
*Recorded on 11/3
Could the next market downturn begin in credit markets before investors see the warning signs in stocks?
Jeff Snider, founder & host of Eurodollar University, joins Maggie Lake to explain why cracks in private credit, leveraged loans and high-yield bonds could threaten stocks. Heavy borrowing tied to the technology boom and an energy shock squeezing company margins could amplify those risks.
Jeff explains why the next downturn may not look like 2008, why a slow market decline could still be painful, and how to track warning signs in credit spreads, Treasury yields and inflation expectations. He also discusses bonds as a potential hedge and makes a striking prediction about silver prices.
Then Andrew Sarna, portfolio manager at Fourth Lane and an expert in the Wealthion network, joins Maggie to translate those risks into portfolio decisions — from technology concentration and potential overbuilding to diversification and tactical bond investments.

November 04 7% Treasury Yields by 2028? The Midterm Warning
Could the 10-year Treasury yield hit 7% by 2028? And what would that mean for stocks, bonds, gold, and your portfolio?
📈 Get a complimentary portfolio review: https://bit.ly/4e9LsJV
As the 2026 U.S. midterm elections approach, Chris Casey, founder and managing director of WindRock Wealth Management, joins Maggie Lake to explain why America's mounting debt crisis could pose a much bigger threat to investors than the election results themselves.
With U.S. national debt approaching $40 trillion, Casey warns that continued government spending and rising deficits could eventually force bond yields significantly higher. He believes a 7% yield on the 10-year Treasury by 2028 is a realistic possibility — a scenario that could trigger serious pressure on stock valuations, particularly high-multiple technology companies.
But the risks don't stop with interest rates.
Casey examines how the midterm elections could reshape government spending, financial regulation, taxes, and the outlook for technology companies. He also explains why America's debt problem makes inflation hedges and real assets increasingly important for long-term investors.
In this conversation, Maggie and Chris discuss:
-📉 The 7% Treasury Warning: Why rising government debt could push bond yields dramatically higher.
-🏛️ The 2026 Midterm Elections: What divided government, congressional gridlock, and changing policies could mean for financial markets.
-💰 America's Debt Crisis: Why persistent deficits could threaten purchasing power and fuel future inflation.
-📊 Stock Market Risks: How rising interest rates could trigger valuation compression, especially in expensive growth stocks.
-🥇 Gold and Real Assets: Why Casey favors precious metals, real estate, and cryptocurrencies as potential inflation hedges.
-⚡ Technology and Regulation:How changing U.S. policies could create unexpected risks for American technology companies and opportunities for international competitors.
-🛡️ Portfolio Diversification: How investors can think about balancing inflation protection with long-term growth opportunities.

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.

October 29 Housing Weakness is spreading to luxury buyers | Ivy Zelman
Ivy Zelman explains why she sees more weakness in the U.S. housing market as mortgage rates squeeze affordability. Joining Maggie Lake, she challenges the housing shortage narrative and examines how demographics could reshape future demand.

October 27 Larry McDonald: S&P 500 Could Crash 30% Over the Next Year
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. He discusses why index highs can mask steep losses in individual companies, where he sees potential in Nike and discounted Apple bonds, and how a slowdown in AI capital spending could affect the Magnificent Seven.
McDonald also makes his case for a longer-term rotation toward energy, materials and industrials. The conversation covers gold and silver, copper demand, natural gas, central bank gold buying and why he favors certain businesses that control physical assets. 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.
The interview closes with Bitcoin, quantum computing risks and alternatives to market-cap-weighted index exposure, including equal-weight investing and changes to portfolio allocation.
