    Neil Howe: The Fourth Turning Is Now Raging...And It's Gone Global
    May 6 2025
    History tells us that civilizations and societies boom, bust and rise anew to repeat the pattern -- a pattern that demographer Neil Howe says is surprisingly predictable in both its timing and trajectory.Howe refers to these "seasons" of societal change as "turnings", and has famously has declared America is now well into a Fourth Turning, the "bust" part of its cycle -- where the status quo falls apart -- often chaotically -- and is replaced by a brand new order.Well, in its first 100 days, the Trump administration has certainly made big -- and some would day disruptive or even chaotic -- strides in its attempt to replace the previous status quo with a new playbook, both domestically and internationally.Is this the kind of textbook Fourth Turning upheaval that Howe expected?To find out, as well as what further transformation he expects ahead, we'll ask the man himself.WORRIED ABOUT THE MARKET?

    Don't Sell Your Stocks! The Bears Are Wrong | Ed Yardeni
    May 4 2025
    When today's guest expert was last on this channel, he predicted that the financial markets would have a "sloppy" start to 2025, but then find their footing and rise to new highs -- possibly as high as 7000 on the S&P -- by the end of the year.Of course, that was before the new Administration took office and all that has happened since then.So, is he still as bullish with his year-end outlook for stocks?Or have recent developments like the Trump tariffs required a downshifting of expectations?To find out, we're fortunate to be joined by Dr. Ed Yardini, President of Yardeni Research.WORRIED ABOUT THE MARKET?

  • Can China Defeat America In The Trade War? | Brent Johnson

    Can China Defeat America In The Trade War? | Brent Johnson
    Apr 27 2025
    Of all the disruptive policies President Trump has made so far in his second term, his hardball strategy to reform global trade has received the most scorn.His detractors call it "non-sensical" and "hamfisted".That it's based on faulty logic, poor math, and has done grave injury to relations with our closest allies.They fear it's actually driving the rest of the world into China's -- our chief competitor's -- arms. And as a result, substantially damaging America's future prospects.Is this true?And is this the reason why bond yields are rising, the dollar is weakening, and gold is soaring?And most importantly, will China end up drinking America's milkshake?For answers, we're fortunate to welcome back to the program Brent Johnson, CEO & Portfolio Manager at Santiago Capital and publisher of The Macro Alchemist.WORRIED ABOUT THE MARKET?

  • Is It Time To "Sell The Rip"? | Lance Roberts & Adam Taggart

    Is It Time To "Sell The Rip"? | Lance Roberts & Adam Taggart
    Apr 26 2025
    Portfolio manager Lance Roberts, like Felix Zulauf, thinks the markets will remain volatile until Fall.Stocks will bounce, but then retreat, likely re-testing the lows made earlier this month.For many, this will be frustrating. Investors' hope will be raised, then dashed -- and then raised and dashed again.Lance doesn't expect a true bottom to be put in until the speculators currently in the market are washed out by this volatility.But once it's in, he thinks that will be the time to start going long more aggressively.While he doesn't expect us to get to that point for a number of months from now, stocks have bounced substantially over this past week. Which raises the question: Is it time to "sell the rip"?For Lance's answer, watch this video.WORRIED ABOUT THE MARKET?
