Fan-favorite forecaster Marc Faber returns for Part 2 of our interview with him to focus on which assets he thinks investors should consider to protect their wealth through the turmoil he sees ahead.

Diversification is key in Marc's eyes, though he does think that having large cash reserves right now is particularly prudent. He's a fan of short-term government bonds & gold -- but he expects most other assets to take a walloping in the coming months.

Dr Marc Faber returns to the program to provide his latest macro outlook. Marc is a PhD in economics, author and long-time Editor & Publisher of the Gloom Boom Doom Report.

It's quite pessimistic, as Marc sees the combination of 'too much debt', asset bubbles, a moribund global economy, and smoldering social unrest resulting from historic levels of wealth inequality serve as a pressure cooker that will break badly somewhere in the system.

Add in short-sighted (incompetent) political decision making & he sees a highly turbulent era ahead. One in which "a lot of people are going to lose a lot of money"

Stock, bond, real estate -- all these markets are vulnerable and likely to drop much further from here in Marc's estimation.

A concern that many recent experts on this channel have raised is that there is a dangerously high percentage of corporations that classify as "zombie companies".

As the cost of debt increases as interest rates rise, the likelihood that these companies could start failing en mass increases.

How big of a concern is this? What implications would a mass die off of these zombies have on the markets, and the economy in general.

For answers, we turn to David Trainer, CEO of research firm New Constructs, who has been ringing the warning bell of late over the risk of zombie contagion.

Investor and macro analyst Bill Fleckenstein returns for Part 2 of our interview with him, to share his concerns about the current bear market not being over.

A veteran short seller who has been on the sidelines for years, Bill is now back actively shorting the market to an extent he hasn't done for a long time.

Bill expects things to "get ugly" as Q3 earnings disappoint and 2023 forecasts are downgraded. He also expects the Fed to be forced to pivot at some point by instability that's NOT going to be bullish for stocks.

The global economy runs on credit, so when there's trouble in the credit markets, EVERYTHING hangs in the balance.

Bond yields have been rising fast around the world this year. So fast in some cases, that things are starting to break.

Just this past week, the UK credit market started melting down -- forcing the Bank of England to engineer a desperate rescue by buying 65billion-pounds worth of gilts on the open market.

How worried should we be about instability in our credit markets? To find out, we talk with investor and analyst Bill Fleckenstein of Fleckenstein Capital.

We've frequently commented on this program that it's hard to be an 'investor' over recent years because central planner policy has been by far the big driver of price action.

Instead, we're forced to be 'speculators', placing our bets based on what we think those few policymakers will decide to do next.

Last week's near-death moment for British pension funds is a classic example of how a change in policy can disrupt everything in a heartbeat.

So we should try to get the best bead we can then on where policy is most likely headed. To this end, Wealthion has recently spoken to former Federal Reserve senior economist Lacy Hunt and former Fed advisor Danielle DiMartino Booth.

And today we have the good fortune of adding respected journalist Pedro de Costa to that list. Pedro has spent the past 20 years covering central bank policy for publications such as Reuters, The Wall Street Journal and now MNI - Market news.
