One of the great David Bowie's most popular songs was titled "Changes" Today's guest David Hay, Chief Investment Officer & Principal at Evergreen Gavekal, might well steal that title for his expected theme of 2025 He sees headwinds that could cause the economy to grow slower than many currently expect. He sees the prices of stocks and bonds at risk. The Fed increasingly behind the curve, the dollar potentially reversing, and lots of uncertainty to soon ensue as the Trump Administration starts to deploy its disruptive policies. He'll walk us through charts of all that and more today. WORRIED ABOUT THE MARKET?

The winds of change are blowing around the globe. 74 countries representing half of the world's population held national elections last year. Many of them -- including the US -- saw a replacement of the ruling incumbent by the opposition, often one promising a more nationalistic agenda. With so many new leaders and their accompanying new policies, what is the outlook for the global economy and financial markets in 2025? To discuss, we have the great fortune of speaking today with Richard Koo, Chief Economist at the Nomura Research Institute as well as author of numerous best-selling books on economics.

Darius Dale, founder & CEO of 42 Macro, has had a remarkably impressive track record in correctly forecasting the markets over recent years. Having turned bullish near the end of 2022, he remained so ever since, helping his subscribers successfully ride the wave of ferocious back-to-back annual returns of over 20%+ in stocks. He also helped them catch Bitcoin's price doubling over the past several months. So, here at the start of 2025, where does his model seeing markets going next? Should we expect more of the same? Or is a trend change in store? Well, after being "ragingly bullish" for the past 2 years, Darius now thinks there's good probability he will turn "ragingly bearish" at some point in 2025. To find out why, watch this video. Follow Darius' work at https://42macro.com/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=thoughtful_money&utm_content=jan_15
Despite the confidence Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell is doing his best to project, inflation has not yet been slain. And today's guest expert, Jim Bianco, founder of market research firm Bianco Research, thinks it's going to continue to prove problematic as the return of the "bond vigilantes" increasingly undermines the Fed's efforts. We'll talk about his reasons why, as well as his concerns about the current extreme valuations in stocks, and why if they experience a material correction, bonds may not provide the protection to portfolios they did in the past.

On this channel, we often highlight abnormalities we notice in the financial markets. Today's guest actively embraces them as gifts from the investment gods. In his words: "Fortunately, the financial markets are often quite inefficient, presenting opportunities for us to generate substantial value for our clients’ portfolios." So, where are the biggest inefficiencies in markets today? And what opportunities are they presenting? To find out, we have the great fortune to speak today with highly respected money manager Dave Iben, Chief Investment Officer, Managing Member, Founder, and Chairman of the Board of Kopernik Global Investors, as well as Portfolio Manager of its main funds. Kopernik manages $billions in client capital. WORRIED ABOUT THE MARKET? SCHEDULE YOUR FREE PORTFOLIO REVIEW with Thoughtful Money's endorsed financial advisors at https://www.thoughtfulmoney.com
The drivers that support economic growth and earnings are slowing down. And valuations are stretched to record extremes. For these reasons, portfolio manager Lance Roberts is turning significantly more tactically bearish on stock this year. This doesn't necessarily mean he expects an imminent crash. But it does mean he expects stocks to put in a much more disappointing year than investors have become used to after back-to-back 20%+ annual returns. We discuss his outlook in depth, as well as the new payrolls data, rising bond yields, why credit spreads remain so tight, and his firm's latest trades.

Today's guest has long warned that the bond market will one day take the printing press away from the Federal Reserve. Well, the Fed has now CUT its policy rate by 100 basis points since September, but the yield on the 10 year US Treasury note is now 100 basis point HIGHER since then. This has flummoxed many investors and mortgage holders. Yet it begs the question: is this the start of a bond market revolt against the Fed? To find out, we're fortunate to welcome back to the program analyst Bill Fleckenstein of Fleckenstein Capital. Bill predicts the bond market will keep falling until stocks tank.

Well it's a new year. And in just two weeks, a new American Administration as well. What kind of impact will President-Elect Trump's policies likely have on natural resources, the "real things" that power the global economy? To find out, we're fortunate to be joined by Rick Rule, one of the world's greatest living natural resource investors, and a heck of a gentleman, to boot. Rick sees a lot of opportunity for investors ahead in oil & gas. But the real deals right now are in the gold mining companies, which he reports are the most undervalued he's seen in his long career. Here are the links to Rick's events mentioned in this discussion: https://thoughtfulmoney.com/rulebootcamp https://thoughtfulmoney.com/rulesyndicate

To discuss in depth, we're fortunate to sit down with the green chicken himself, the energy expert Doomberg.

The stock market has seen two consecutive years of 20% returns. Will it see similar returns this year? Highly unlikely, cautions portfolio manager Lance Roberts. Complacent bulls hoping for a repeat performance may well find themselves disappointed with 2025. We discuss the reasons why, the latest market technicals, the potential impact of domestic terrorist acts could have on the financial markets, and Bob Farrell's Top 10 Investment Rules on today's program.

As we begin a new year, I thought it appropriate to continue Thoughtful Money's ongoing commitment to highlighting the principles components of true wealth -- of which money is simply a means, not the end in itself. Research tells us that true wealth is primarily a function of quality relationships, purpose & health. And today, we're going to drill down deep into the purpose part of that equation. How can we live with greater meaning? How do we even identify what our purpose is? There's actually an empirical process for answering these important questions, and we're fortunate to be able to learn about it today from Betsy Wills and Alex Ellison, co-authors of the book Your Hidden Genius: The Science-Backed Strategy to Uncovering and Harnessing Your Innate Talents And for those looking to get started living with greater purpose, there are exciting testing services now available -- based on the aptitudes research of Johnson O'Connor, whom longtime listeners have heard me rave about -- that can help accelerate your progress in 2025. I'm really looking forward to this discussion.
Today we have the good fortune to hear *another* housing analyst's 2025 outlook for home prices. We're joined by Nick Gerli, founder of reventure Consulting and creator of the new reventure app. Nick points out that buying a home has rarely been this expensive in living American history: once was in 1981 when mortgage rates were a whopping 18%. The other time was in 2006, right before we experienced the biggest US housing correction ever. And speaking of corrections, Florida and Texas now seem to clearly be in one. And that weakness looks to be spreading into other states. What does all this forebode for 2025? We'll ask Nick directly. WORRIED ABOUT THE MARKET?

While 2024 was a fantastic year for stocks and bonds, the housing market has fared less well. Instead, 2024 was the year gravity caught up with home prices. They've stopped rising nationally for the most part, and certain once red-hot cities are now starting to see clear declines as inventory surges. Is this the Wile E. Coyote moment before prices start plummeting under today's higher for longer mortgage rates? Or will the housing market prove resilient as we enter 2025? To find out, we'll talk with real estate analyst Lance Lambert, former real estate editor for Fortune and now co-founder & editor of ResiClub. WORRIED ABOUT THE MARKET?

The world is in love with US stocks right now. Valuations are at or near all-time record highs. Same with measures of euphoria and investor confidence in stocks. US stocks have never made up as a great a percentage of global market cap as they do now. Retail investors (including seniors!) have never been this long stocks. As portfolio manager Lance Roberts explains in this interview, we only see conditions like these are market peaks. So, is the stock market peaking here? Lance and I discuss the odds, as well as his key takeaways from 2024, his market outlook for 2025, and his firm's recent trades.

Today, we're going to do something a little different on this channel. We're going to interview a highly successful private equity CEO, and yes we'll get his economic & market outlook for 2025. But, we'll also delve into his insights for achieving personal success, in life and business. Graham Weaver is the founder and managing partner of Alpine Investors, a people-driven private equity firm that invests in software and services businesses. He serves on the faculty at Stanford University's Graduate School of Business where he teaches a top-rated strategic management course. And he's also a highly popular personal development influencer, with millions of followers across social media. Graham also happens to be one of my former business school classmates. I witnessed him begin his private equity firm from his dorm room there. He's a truly remarkable individual and I predict you're going to highly enjoy today's discussion. Follow Graham at https://www.grahamweaver.com Or on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/@UC0QlsANSV3_ZC-uqxLQ_5uA Or on TikTok and Instagram at  @grahamcweaver  Or on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/graham-weaver-2b79/ #privateequity #investing #businesssuccess
The Fed sent a shock through markets last week when it announced that fewer rates cuts may be needed to reach its policy goals. The S&P immediately sold off by -3% and the Nasdaq and Russell sold off even harder. It this just a curveball that, once digested, won't a matter much to the bull trend? Or, could it have set up a reversal in trend? To discuss, the advisors at New Harbor Financial give their take and then answer viewer questions live.
Well, this interview is being recorded the day after the Federal Reserve spooked markets by slowing the expected pace of future rate cuts. The S&P instantly dropped 3% on the news and bond yields spiked. Is this just temporary heartburn as the markets digest the news? Or might this signal that markets have just peaked? For perspective, we're fortunate to be joined by Dr. Ed Yardini, President of Yardeni Research. WORRIED ABOUT THE MARKET?
