At Wealthion, we show you how to protect and build your wealth by learning from the world’s top experts on finance and money. Each week we add new videos that provide you with access to the foremost specialists in investing, economics, the stock market, real estate and personal finance.
We offer exceptional interviews and explainer videos that dive deep into the trends driving today's markets, the economy, and your own net worth. We give you strategies for financial security, practical answers to questions like “how to grow my investments?”, and effective solutions for wealth building tailored to 'regular' investors just like you.
There’s no doubt that it's a very challenging time right now for the average investor. Above and beyond the recent economic impacts of COVID, the new era of record low interest rates, runaway US debt and US deficits, and trillions of dollars in monetary and fiscal stimulus stimulus has changed the rules of investing by dangerously distorting the Dow index, the S&P 500, and nearly all other asset prices. Can prices keep rising, or is there a painful reckoning ahead?
Let us help you prepare your portfolio just in case the future brings one or more of the following: inflation, deflation, a bull market, a bear market, a market correction, a stock market crash, a real estate bubble, a real estate crash, an economic boom, a recession, a depression, or another global financial crisis.
Put the wisdom from the money & markets experts we feature on Wealthion into action by scheduling a free consultation with Wealthion’s endorsed financial advisors, who will work with you to determine the right next steps for you to take in building your wealth.

[@ivangaeta3663]

I’m starting to understand why people hate democrats… they constantly talk out of both sides of their mouth. Look at me, I’m so loving and accepting and understanding of everyone’s position and background and yet they want to preach and tell everyone that they are wrong for thinking differently, or being motivated by different things… This was probably one of the most insightful interviews I have seen, and not for any financial reason. Starting to understand why Taggart left.

According to Don Lemon, Don Lemon is a saint. And it is clear that Anthony resents Elon Musk, who does more each day for humanity than the both of you have done in your lifetimes put together.

Why would you guys ruin this financial channel by inviting this Life Sour Lemon 🍋 or is this Chanel no longer a financial education but a Political channel. This is leftovers actually both have the same path and past Anthony and Lemon

[@thunderbird3694]

Benjamin Franklin: "All the Property that is necessary to a Man, for the Conservation of the Individual and the Propagation of the Species, is his natural Right, which none can justly deprive him of: But all Property superfluous to such purposes is the Property of the Publick, who, by their Laws, have created it, and who may therefore by other Laws dispose of it, whenever the Welfare of the Publick shall demand such Disposition. He that does not like civil Society on these Terms, let him retire and live among Savages. He can have no right to the benefits of Society”

[@brando4221]

Don lemon is a snake in the grass. If he was a journalist making an autobiography he'd be good for the job, otherwise his ego won't let him interview others in a way that isn't obnoxious. He's no match for Elon and I agree his line of questioning was offensive.

[@derylrobinson]

Wrong. Conservatives won’t form a mob and force the channel off the air. Progressives will. Free speech means Lemon gets a platform and I get to ignore him.

[@timp429]

Respect to Anthony (and Don) for this candid conversation and for bringing on someone with mainstream and non-controversial views that happen to be outside of those normally heard on this channel. It’s a smart way to begin growing the channel’s audience outside of Wealthion’s historically narrow demographic of viewers. It embarrassing to read all of the other comments from people throwing a fit and yelling ‘unsubscribed!’ because they can’t handle hearing different perspectives, or can’t accept that every single livestream is not going to be tailor made just to suit their feelings and needs.

[@liquidplaya]

Did you watch Don's interview with Elon? Don is beyond help. If you watched and thought Don made any logical sense and led an honest interview you are part of the problem.

[@tlindsay1007]

Remember how Don Lemonhead was all for censoring free speech? Why should we not censor him? He also is a gaslighter and a liar. And he says he's a journalist, honest, and not concerned about making a ton of money on this very show!! He has forfeited his credibility. Elon shouldn't have wasted his precious time on Lemonhead.

[@stephens7107]

I think that it is fair to say that the viewers here look for intelligent and thoughtful discussion. Lemon is not that. He is an example of why main stream corporate media is in decline and alternate media is on the rise.

[@sawdustcrypto3987]

I have to agree with the other replies to this comment. I'm not the hugest Elon Musk fan, but I don't see how any free thinking person could have watched that interview and not see that Don lemon had a very specific and seemingly narrow-minded agenda
