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.

Adam, as a suggestion, bring Neil back and spend more time on wealth preservation during this crisis of 4th turning. I live in Midwest so we already live everyday close to family and friends helping one another in times of crisis , as we never lost "real world relationships". However, most of us Midwest folks have our parents or grandparents stories of economic destruction during last 4th turning.. so please focus on wealth preservation during next interview with Neil.

The first big red flag is that Howe never addresses what he got wrong in the 4th Turning from 1998. Though I believe in the saeculum, that we are in the 4th turning, and that Howe & Strauss got many things correct, I believe he is now blinded and cherry picking to fit his belief system. Thinking that FOMO is generational community oriented is absurd. The same with YOLO. Millennials are far from "group" oriented and socially altruistic. They're the generation of the "selfie" and YOLO and FOMO makes for a selfish society. Furthermore, not once does he take into account godlessness which is the foundation of our selfishness and the unraveling of our national unity. Having hardship in common isn't enough. We live in an increasingly Tower of Babel society. "The new world of freedom and science doesn't offer what purpose souls really need." From Father Zosima in The Brothers Karamazov by Dostoevsky. New rights have been created over time but we can't create new morals; they remain the same since the before the writing of Gilgamesh. Howe also underestimates and seems to disregard the effect of technology on Millenials; let alone the decreasing of beta waves and susceptibility to propaganda in constant alpha wave states. Things are far worse than he knows. Tyranny is growing, coming, and that would end the current saeculum(s) as we know them (from Anglo-American history).

[@vetteluvnh]

[@alli4236]

One of the scary things about this is that the "younger" generations are already in their 30s with little hope for a rewarding career, home and many without new families. Even if you could decide not to spend away their future at this point, a good portion of it has already been spent and many are not well equipped for leading. I see Gen X who are similar to Millenials but had already entered and gotten established in the job market prior to the crash leading the way.

That said, most of my millenial friends work 2-3 jobs with liberal arts BA and MA degrees that their parents encouraged them to get and are barely getting by. My Zoomer coworkers have tons of side jobs and a very bleak outlook on the future with tons of anxiety and little hope. It is easy to blame lack of success on an individual as lazy, fragile, or entitled but when you have this happening in mass its time to look in the mirror and wonder what economic factors may have been at play in favor of you and your growth vs the generation you were supposed to raise (if you are a boomer).

[@alli4236]

That said, all very young people tend to have an over idealized outlook on what they "know" or what they might make at their first job (and tend to spend their money on stupid stuff if they do not live in a war zone). The problem is, concretely society has severely economically disadvantaged large numbers of the population we all need to have taken their place in society and ensured the next generation by now. A course correction is needed on the macro yesterday.

As gen x we've felt helpless and ignored the whole of our lives. First we were controlled by the boomers who never seem to retire and now the more numerous millennials are the ones in charge. What was our role? All of the deep thinkers I know are gen x but no one listens to us.

[@pfeilspitze]

Zeihan talks a bunch about this. Boomers and Millennials are both *larger* generations than Xers, so Xers will tend to be outvoted. Your time is now, though, to start taking the reins of things as all the boomers are *finally* retiring. (Now we just need to get them to retire from political office too...)

[@hughmorris3359]

We do tend to get caught in Cassandra complex, where we are not listened to. Maybe it is the X'ers time to shine and bring a better future to the next generations. I think it has to start with stripping some of the wealth from the boomers. They have had all the benefits, the tax breaks, the best opportunities. Time for them to help future generations and not be remembered as the generation who blew it all on self interest. I am in Australia and saw how the boomers voted down the removal of tax benefits like negative gearing and capital gains discounts, it was pure self interest.

According to the new book, The Bubble that Broke the Bank, we are facing a triple alignment of financial disaster: The real estate crisis, the credit cycle crash, and distressed properties.

I can only hope that folks watching recognize the gravity of comments about "collateral damage" and just how severe the pain from such events will be. Let's not lose sight of literally millions of lives lost in past 4th turnings. Great leaders like Lincoln and Churchill oversaw mass destruction and human misery.

I'm a conservative but when I think of someone who could be that type of great leader for the fourth turning, I think of someone like RFK Jr. The more I listen to that guy talk the more I like him. He seems so non-partisan and it actually feels like he genuinely cares about the state of our nation and the people in it. Not only that, he never gets baited into trash talking but stays focused on the course ahead, on the issues that really matter to the majority of Americans. I don't necessarily mean that "he's the guy" but I imagine it would be someone like him.

[@chriskenney4377]

Neill Howe and (i apologize I've forgotten his fellow author) have accomplished great scholarship. However, his ability to prognosticate leaves a lot to be admired. I don't think history is determinist. What one generation does over another has to be much more nuanced that he suggests. I see the trend, but great actors either come from a deep understanding of the human condition, or become tyrants. I know that Neil understands this, but I 'suggest more nuance to the future. Just a thought - beware the coming of the brown/black shirts.

They could be wearing red hats or rainbow shirts... time will tell, but one thing for sure is that the good guys don't push their ideologies on any one.

Can anyone help me understand his views on resources and bonds. From what I understand gold bottomed in 6/1920, then really jumped right after 12/1929, then topped in 4/1934 then fell till 11/1970. Bond Yields as far as I can see from the Moody's Aaa bond history graph, bottomed in 1900, then topped in 1920, then bottomed in 1946. So if we are in a 4th turning like the one before and during WWII, then shouldn't we expect bond yields to go down? Or is he expecting bond yields to go down, bond prices to go up, but bond price appreciation to be eclipsed by money printing?

All the fundamentals scream recession/depression yet it seems monsterous liquidity keeps the market and economy afloat. What will it take to empty the larder of liquidity. A new all time high in the markets with FOMO emptying pockets? Those few famous lines are appropriate here: "Slowly at first then all at once." "There are decades where nothing happens, then decades happen in a few months."

The stock market is a complex system that is influenced by a variety of factors, including economic indicators, political events, and global trends. The relationship between policies and the stock market can be complex and multifaceted, and it can take time for the full effects of policies to be reflected in market trends. Therefore, it is possible that policies implemented in the past may have a "lagged effect" on the stock market, as their full impact may not be felt until later on.

One reason that the older generations did things together was because they lived in smaller houses, so "home" was a place to rest between going out with friends for entertainment. What could you do at home, besides eat, sleep, and listen to radio. But TV gave people more entertainment at home, and homes got built larger and larger so family members weren't tripping over each other. And now we have KZbin, which is far more informative and entertaining than TV, and smaller families. Many of us can even work from home (without working together with other members of the household).

X Gen here and we are here to help the best we can... Every generation is important! Boomer's had good and bad characteristics... Some mistakes were made and good things came about for us all... You didn't know the future as we don't know our future either... Stay safe and be proud of your contribution to the world!

Does the fourth turning only happen in America

[@Markbazzle1]

Mr. Howe gives a nice account of, and some historical evidence for his generational theory, but I have always had a problem with the idea of assigning group status to children who are being born on a flat time curve, not a lumpy one. Obviously the Boomers represent a bubble in population growth in America, but otherwise children are born at a steady rate, pretty much. Therefore anyone attempting to cluster the population into separate groups has a problem - where do I draw my (let’s face it, arbitrary) line to separate one generation from the next? We can see that therefore the choice must be a fairly subjective one, since, as I said, objectively the population / date curve is pretty smooth. I believe in cycles in the weather and in real estate prices and a lot of other measurable groups, but the theory of generational characteristics is not one of those, is it?

Our upcoming presidential election tells us Mr Howe is right. It's TIME

[@wasdwasdedsf]

its time for what? what does the upcoing presidential elections tell you? you have one illegitimate old folks home patient who cant finish asentance, screaming like a certain mustache guy in front of a red white house, that the other side is the most extreme movement in the history of the country, and them being a threat to democracy... with the whole side making comments alongside of calling them domestic ter|s... and you have them now actively prosecuting their opposition for counts that equates to hundreds of years in prison, with ZERO basis or evidence put forward so i guess you mean that its time to vote them out

Not sure what to make of some of what Neil says. Sounds like he might be saying conformity, groupthink, obedience to authority, is the future? Are millennials creative and tough enough to lead? You have to be able to tolerate adversity. I don’t know. I hope they can reconnect with reality, be open to wisdom, and tougher skinned. You can be all this and still be kind, generous, and wise.

[@jorgesoto7640]

I think its a good time to be young if there's a work crunch and low work force for alot of industries, if your a lets say young person getting into the trades or what ever , if everyone your age is going to school and old people are retiring its a perfect time to be a skilled worker . Peter zeihan is really optimistic about it , idk the world will look very different in the future but north America will be fine , specially if the conservatives win the culture war . So its not the end of world just most of it lol

Xers and Xennials need to position themselves as sources of wisdom and guidance for the next generation . Millenials haven’t gone through the traditional learning structures X got to but are being forced into positions of management and leadership without having the experience to back it . Xers just have to melt a little of their colder exterior of every body’s wrong approach and take a educational/coach / mentor approach despite yes I know we all had to do it ourselves . 😂

[@wpelfeta]

I think automation will take care of the demographic shift economically. The problem will be that it will only further concentrate wealth via the capitalism snowball. As a country, we will have to address the wealth inequality and potential unemployment somehow. I'm not sure if I have an answer for it, but I think it will be the biggest issue we will need to face in the coming decades.

A lot of these things are inverted. Modernity encourages barbarism and genocide through industrialization, nationalism, and totalitarian ideologies that cast the traditions of the past aside. Similarly, social media is actually promotes antisocial behaviour, when we view it through the prism of modernity. We think we are connecting to other people, and that might happen to some extent, but we do it at the expense of REAL, meaningful relations. As Rene Guenon said, we are living in a reign of a quantity. Only the numbers of things being produced go up. The actual quality of living, when we stop thinking like economists and scientists but actual philosophers, has gone down. That's the overall trajectory of this world as we get closer and closer to the end times, Kali Yuga, Qayamat, whatever you want to call it.

I was surprised the way he talked about him. But, cannot deny that he’s a sharp politician. He was born 1923 - greatest generation? But did not serve, I don’t believe, like so many did then - sacrificed. He also didn’t marry until his 50s if I got the math right.
