Thoughtful Money with Adam Taggart

On this channel we spend most of our time talking about the economy, markets and money.Which are all very important -- no doubt -- but they exist in service to society. If society reaches a point where it starts unraveling, then our portfolios start to matter a lot less when compared to safety & survival. Today's guest expert is Peter Turchin, Project Leader for Social Complexity and Collapse, Complexity Science Hub in Vienna.Dr Turchin has written a number of best-selling books on the currently precarious state of Western society, including End Times: Elites, Counter-Elites, and the Path of Political Disintegration, War and Peace and War: The Rise and Fall of Empires, Ages of Discord and most recently The Great Holocene Transformation: What Complexity Science Tells Us about the Evolution of Complex Societies.So what does he see as mostly likely ahead for us?We'll ask the man himself in this video.

Is Violent Societal Unrest Now Inevitable? | Peter Turchin

It's easy to feel confused these days.With the stock market at all-time highs, some analysts predict this bull market has a lot longer to run as the busiiness-friendly policies of the new Administration start adding tailwinds to the economy.Others see economic growth as imbalanced, at best, and worry that overall the trend for 2026 is downwards, risking recession and a material market correction.So, which is it?For guidance, we turn to highly-respected economist & award-winning researcher David Rosenberg, founder & president of Rosenberg Research.David concludes the market is in a major price bubble not unlike the DotCom era, and advises investors to build/maintain liquidity within (at least) part of their portfolio in order to weather the bubble's bursting as well as to have dry powder to deploy at attractive valuations when it does.

All Bubbles End - So You'd Better Have Some Liquidity | David Rosenberg

Have markets now made it safely through the seasonal risk of October?

Portfolio manager Michael Lebowitz thinks they likely have, barring some surprise curveball.

Which is why, should conditions remain steady, Michael sees stocks trending higher into year end.

He and I discuss why, as well as inflation, housing, recession risk, bond yields, gold and the recent sports betting scandal, as well as his firm's latest trades in this week's Market Recap

Ed Dowd: USA Facing A 'Toxic Cocktail' of Trouble In Stocks, Credit, Trade & Housing

When market uncertainty is as high as it is now, I often emphasize that the most useful people to interview are asset managers.Because they don't have the luxury of merely having an opinion on the road ahead -- they have to commit capital to their convictions, and be judged upon the results.Today we have the great fortune of having the return appearance of one of the most respected capital allocators in the business: Jan van EckJan is CEO of vanEck, an asset management firm with over $100 billion in assets under management invested across its wide family of ETFs and funds, spanning equity, bond, commodity, digital and regional asset classes.As we've done the past several quarters now, Jan and I will spend the next hour discussing his Q4 macro and market outlooks, as well as where he sees the biggest opportunities for investors right now.

SPECIAL REPORT: Silver Price Explodes Above $50/oz -- Is It Too Late To Buy In? | Andy Schectman

Stocks and bonds both surged higher once the election was called for President-elect Trump this week.

Technically and capital flow-wise, there are a number of reasons to expect stocks to keep running higher to year end and into 2025, though that won't happen without some pullbacks along the ways, counsels portfolio manager Lance Roberts.

This week also saw the Federal Reserve cut its policy rate by a further 0.25%, with Fed Chair projecting confidence that a soft landing is in the cards. 

All this raises an interesting question:

If bull markets "climb a wall of worry", are we running out of worry?

Lance and I discuss that, the breakout in stocks, the future of bonds yields, what Trumps proposed policies will mean for the economy, and Lance's firm's latest trades in this week's Market Recap.
