Brent Johnson, portfolio manager at Santiago Capital, returns for Part 2 of our interview with him to lay out the 4 assets he favors most given the strong US dollar.

Cash, gold, productive land & blue-chip US equities are the assets he would "go to war with" -- though in the near term, he recommends waiting for the current bear market to bottom out before loading up on equities.

2022 has seen the worst inflation in 4 decades, stubbornly persistent supply chain shortages, a contracting economy that may already be in recession & one of the worst first halves of the year for financial markets.

And yet the US dollar is the strongest it has been in 20 years.

That seems counterintuitive, unless you look through the lens of the Dollar Milkshake Theory. When you do, you understand an awful lot of what has been driving the action this year.

To understand where the dollar is likely headed next, and what further implications that will have on the investing landscape, we welcome Brent Johnson CEO & Portfolio Manager at Santiago Capital, and developer of the Dollar Milkshake Theory, back to the program.

It remains a whipsaw year for investors, as both stocks and bonds are now up materially from their late June lows.

Is this the 'all clear'? Will prices rise further over the remainder of the year?

Or is this a classic bear market rally? One that lulls the bulls back in before returning to maul everyone?

In uncertain times like these, it's wise to tap the counsel of those with decades of long-term success in the markets. So today we'll ask these questions of Thomas Thorton, former portfolio manager, senior trader, technical analyst, and now founder of Hedgefund Telemetry.

Researcher and money manager Louis Gave returns in Part 2 of our interview with him to discuss the acceleration away from the US dollar as a trade currency by many non-West countries.

America's weaponization of semiconductors against China and of the West's financial system against Russia have forced those two countries to speed up their efforts to conduct trade in currencies other than the dollar. 

What will a world less dependent on the dollar look like? Does this trend open up any intersesting investment opportunities?

Louis shares his thoughts on both of these questions.  https://youtu.be/IqoUP1YEeM0

Many of the most important developments shaping events here in 2022 are happening outside of the US

Obviously, Russia's invasion of Ukraine has upended the geo-political chessboard, as well as world trade and the energy & financial markets.

China, too, is making waves that all nations feel.

What decisions these two world powers make, especially in terms of what kind of relationship they choose to have with the West going forward, will have large & long lasting implications.

To better understand the situation from a non-US perspective, we're fortunately to speak with Louis Gave, Founding Partner and CEO at Gavekal.  https://youtu.be/YiM1fYZq0T8

As the Fed is poised to crash the economy in order to stop the inflation it arguably caused, we ask one simple question: Do we really need a central bank or can the free market work things out? https://youtu.be/ZPcp4M9i5LM
