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.

Stating the obvious

Thank you for engaging with our content. If there is someone you'd like to hear from please let us know.

What im hearing is that much of jobs that have been filled are by people taking on 2nd or 3rd jobs to make ends meet.

Body armor good but over 50% of my tax money is spent on things I don’t agree with.

[@petergozinya6122]

……even if that body armor was left in Afghanistan for Islamic extremists to use ?

[@Wealthion]

Agree on the body armor. It has proven to save lives. Also agree on how the government spends "our" money. That's why we have elections.

[@christopherk140]

@@Wealthion ha ha elections… two are selected to be put in front and we get to choose which big spender gets in . Then there is the real question if we the people really even get that choice.

[@christopherk140]

[@petergozinya6122]

@@christopherk140Too true. Who was it that said "If voting really mattered, they wouldn't let us do it" ?

[@kay8325]

He made important points about investing and AI. "What we do hasn't changed, how we do it, has". I really liked this interview. Thank you

[@mzbito]

Does he work for the Biden administration?

[@Wealthion]

Nope, he never has. He was a soldier who retired in 2015.

[@mzbito]

@@Wealthion I understand his history, but he seems to be as out of touch with what is happening as the Biden administration.

[@Eterna7Forms]

Income is at an all time high? By what metric? Lmao. Adjust for real wages, real inflation, real quality of goods. Wages in terms of things people actually want to buy are down 50 percent for the median worker since 1990. Wow but that nominal print sure is big so everything is OK!!!

[@jamesderoc6717]

telling people their doing great when they are flat on their back. is psychological warfare

[@ZacharyTBatson]

Hahaha I know this guy in the first 5 min completely lost all credibility

[@Bigredbulldog401]

Then u guys might wanna start speaking up about the immigration problem going on because they don’t pay taxes and get all types of benefits

[@BloorStreetCapital]

Great discussion guys! Dryden nailed it when he said it's all about human behavior, however, humans can be very irrational at times.

[@dubsdube]

Wow, so much bs in this video. Couldn't watch the whole way through. I love how the host didn't challenge him on any of his ignorant claims.

[@johndoe1.196]

FTCO pays a MONTHLY gold based dividend. OR is a gold royalty company that pays a quarterly dividend. Check 'em out.

[@RichardTN]

Added those 5 million jobs, but it's all part time jobs and migrants. Which is fine for the economy, but don't paint it like the average American got some kind of economic windfall. Good luck for young Americans entering the workforce.

[@Wealthion]

Thank you for watching. As of the February employment numbers, the part time employees are 17% of the employment numbers which is where it's been since 2020. That number is down from over 20% in 2010.

[@difigfs]

​@Wealthion is there a direct link to this info? There is so much disinformation and election swaying going on, everywhere. I Iike facts.

Crazy talk, 7% interest rate is fine on $500,000 property?! 😂 When these oldies purchased their properties, they paid much less so monthly payments were far far lower. Don't be fooled by crazy talk

A lot of angry bears in the comments haha

[@freedomfreedom835]

Wages are not increasing WAGES ARE NOT INCREASING!!!!

[@baarbacoa]

Real wages for production and supervisor personnel have been rising since 1990.

[@Eterna7Forms]

Wages are down in real terms. Gaslighting us isn’t going to work. This is real big late Soviet energy desu.

[@Eterna7Forms]

@@baarbacoaWrong. Compare a 1990 median wage print in real purchasing power vs today and it’s not even close. Do it in oz of gold, oz of silver, housing sq ft, etc. Last time I ran the number real wages are down over 60 percent for the median man on the street since 1990.

[@Eterna7Forms]

@@baarbacoaIn 1990 dollars median personal income was $14387 per the Census Bureau. Gold was $400 an oz, Silver was $4.83 and Housing was $79K for the median home. Median wage today of $58K. In terms of gold the median worker can buy 6 less oz, over a 1000 less oz of silver and a house back then was 5.6x of yearly income now it is over 7x a yearly wage on face print. If I had used a different basket it would be even worse.

Highest level of credit card and auto loan defaults in years, and climbing. Mortgage defaults increasing. Record number of 401k hardship distributions (many to pay mortgages). Record amount of credit card debt. Don't listen to this guy, things aren't that great.

I would like to know more about Japan's economy and the future of Yen, any positive news? How to invest into Japan?

[@Eterna7Forms]

When Japan increased rates the Yen fell relative to the USD. Take from that what you will.

[@petergozinya6122]

Keep paying your taxes because Islamic extremists need the armored vehicles and other equipment we taxpaying Americans left for them in Afghanistan. 🫡🇺🇸 This guest insults our intelligence.

[@kay8325]

that's Biden's fault, not his!

[@synewparadigm]

The Biden administration gave $2.5 BILLIONS to the Afghanistan as humanitarian aid since we left. 😂
