S4 E5: The Great Divide; the US Stock Market vs the Economy

Send us Fan MailIn today's podcast, Greg tackles the GLOBE, from Europe to the US to Asia, to show how stagflation is intensifying amid a further tightening in global monetary conditions, and an appreciation in the US Dollar, as Central Banks are lining up to hike official short-term interest rates, and credit conditions are becoming dangerously "tight". Against this backdrop sustained high US price inflation in services, and a fractured labor market has pushed Consumer Confidence to new all-time lows, while Retail Sales growth is dominated by rising Sales (AKA prices) at Gasoline Stations, while spending at Eating and Drinking Establishments and Vehicle Sales are DISINFLATING at an alarming pace.Yes, CAPEX spending on AI data center build-outs is skyrocketing and output of Semiconductors-Computer Peripheral Equipment SOARS, the FACT is that these three things account for only 16% of GDP, while Consumer Spending and the Service sector still accounts for 71% of GDP. The disconnect between Consumer final demand disinflation, and new all-time high in US stock indexes has NEVER been greater. Moreover, the current long-term momentum driving the US stock market higher is as stretched and extended as it has EVER BEEN. Throw in the fact that Gold is now breaking down versus nearly every paper currency on the planet......and the stage is all but set for an all-out "asset price deflation event"!This IS..."The Great Divide; the Stock Market vs the Economy”Support the showhttps://twitter.com/money_podcastMoney, Markets & New Age Investing Podcast@money_podcasthttps://instagram.com/age_of_polarization_investingMoney, Markets & New Age Investing Podcasthttps://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100094931703462Money, Markets & New Age Investing Podcasthttps://www.youtube.com/@GregoryWeldonhttps://www.youtube.com/@MoneyMarketsNewAgeInvestingPodOur YouTube Channels

S4 E4: The Six Day War; Stagflation Reigns!

Send us Fan MailStagflation Reigns!Six days of horrifically WEAK macro-economic data in the US, particularly in the Labor Market report from the BLS, and ISM Service Sector Survey, in tandem with a new and broadening upside acceleration in CPI price inflation, offers HARD EVIDENCE that price inflation will be a dagger in the back of Consumer final demand growth, which will lead to a cocooning consumer and deflation in consumption...and...to a LOWER US DOLLAR.This in turn means Gold and Silver are likely "back in play", and the coming El Nino would team up with a depreciating US currency, to send Agricultural Commodities higher, while posing a deflation risk to the equity market!Get the "gory data details" in The Six Day War; Stagflation Reigns!Support the showhttps://twitter.com/money_podcastMoney, Markets & New Age Investing Podcast@money_podcasthttps://instagram.com/age_of_polarization_investingMoney, Markets & New Age Investing Podcasthttps://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100094931703462Money, Markets & New Age Investing Podcasthttps://www.youtube.com/@GregoryWeldonhttps://www.youtube.com/@MoneyMarketsNewAgeInvestingPodOur YouTube Channels

S4 E3: FOMC - Master Magicians of Misdirection or Monetary Con Artists?

Send us Fan MailThe US FOMC is playing the ole Shell Game with this past week's "SEP"!Where is the Pea? (AKA US Consumer Final Demand Growth)Shell One: Inflation NO HIGHER than 3% this year, 2.5% in 2027, and 2.2% in 2028.Shell Two: Nominal GDP Growth of +5.2% in 2027.Shell Three: NO Change in Unemployment Rate 4.4%, same in 2027 and 2028 (but maybe on tick higher to 4.5%), either way reflects virtually NO impact from AI.Wild Card: Fed envisions a top-end Fed Funds Rate of FOUR PERCENT (3.9%) next year, based on growth in “real” GDP to 3% or higher!There is NO PEA to be found…The Fed’s narrative is overly optimistic, an expert misdirection, yes. But one that flirts with the realm of being a “con”!Either way…the Fed only wants, and needs, you to believe that the PEA IS THERE to be FOUND!Support the showhttps://twitter.com/money_podcastMoney, Markets & New Age Investing Podcast@money_podcasthttps://instagram.com/age_of_polarization_investingMoney, Markets & New Age Investing Podcasthttps://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100094931703462Money, Markets & New Age Investing Podcasthttps://www.youtube.com/@GregoryWeldonhttps://www.youtube.com/@MoneyMarketsNewAgeInvestingPodOur YouTube Channels

S3 E13: China vs USA - High Stakes Poker

Send us Fan MailThe world's most important EVER, highest stakes EVER, poker match is set to take place this coming week, between China's Xi and Trump from the US. These two shrewd operators, sharks both, have been playing back at one another for weeks, months in fact, and recently the stakes went up.Trump, holding a strong hand defined by Chips-AI-Quantum-Tech bet big earlier this month, splashing the threat of 150% tariffs onto the felt, "floating" the hand, on a bluff...(since he understands the US does NOT hold the best hand).Xi responded by pushing "all-in" with the October 9th release of “Announcement No. 61/2025: Decision in Implementing Export Controls on Foreign Related Rare Earth Items, Rare-Earth-Related Technologies, Lithium Batteries and Artificial Graphite Anode Material Related Items".Poker is a game of "I know that you know, that I know, that you know, that I know AND you know I'm bluffing, but you know that I know you can't "call". Trump tried to pull off a bluff, and Xi "came-over-the-top" and raised "all in". The question is, how will Trump respond?Understanding just HOW IMPORTANT these elements, oxides, metals, and even manufactured products are, is to understand HOW FAR BEHIND the US truly is, and how DOMINANT China has become, with a four-decade long game plan that has left the US "reliant", held "hostage”...to China on Rare Earths! We are waiting to hear what Xi wants...and you know, that I know, that you know, EXACTLY what Xi wants.It is NOT Chips-AI build out, NO! Xi wants Taiwan, which has ALL of the above, already in place, thanks to the US.What happens next week will be historic, one way or the other. A deal that placates the US...or Xi sticking with the "long game", and leaving Export Restrictions in place, possibly driving US equity indexes sharply lower, helping lift unemployment, at a time when social unrest, outright violence, and politicians "declaring independence from the Federal Government”, has created total chaos, domestically. We are already at war with ourselves, divided from within, while also battling drug cartels, Venezuela, Colombia, and Chinese interests in Peru!! Are we really prepared to, or even willing to, "fight" China right now?Xi's Maoist vision of Asian "manifest destiny", groomed by the CCP since 1959, for THIS MOMENT, his father was killed during an assassination attempt on Chairman Mao...and...the demise of the US currency...both... could be in sight, lying in wait, and the repercussions for global markets would be Earth-shaking.Learn EXACTLY why I say this, all the gory details, history, data, stats and FACTS as to why this is SO important, and what the possible outcomes might be, by listening to the most important podcast I have produced to date Support the showhttps://twitter.com/money_podcastMoney, Markets & New Age Investing Podcast@money_podcasthttps://instagram.com/age_of_polarization_investingMoney, Markets & New Age Investing Podcasthttps://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100094931703462Money, Markets & New Age Investing Podcasthttps://www.youtube.com/@GregoryWeldonhttps://www.youtube.com/@MoneyMarketsNewAgeInvestingPodOur YouTube Channels

S3 E12: To Eggheads and Monetary Purists, NOTHING ELSE MATTERS!

Send us Fan MailIn my view, Jay Powell has become "a problem", though NOT because he’s a bad guy with evil intent. I do not believe that. In fact, he seems like a genuinely “nice guy”!BUT, having said that, he IS an “egghead, an overthinking, theoretical, no action, no skin in the game, no blood-no foul, ACADEMIC.Jerome Powell is a monetary PURIST and thus, beyond Employment and Inflation…NOTHING ELSE MATTERS!The Consumer Cocoon…matters NOT, not until there is a recession.The Credit Crunch and Delinquency Epidemic…matters NOT, not until there is a recession.The DEFLATION in “real” Retail final demand…matters NOT, not until there is a recession.The Housing Crisis…matters NOT, not until there is a recession.The Economy, DEFLATION in the Service sector in particular…matters NOT, not until there is a recession.Well, guess what, there IS ALREADY a RECESSION underway in ALL the above!But it matters NOT, because the ECONOMY and the CONSUMER…matter NOT…not to eggheaded monetary purists like Jerome Powell, who FAIL when it comes to having vision, having the “stones” to be AHEAD of the curve!Powell has MISSED EVERY “TURN” in his entire tenure as the Fed Chair, sorry, that is the SIMPLE FACT!His Fed has been BEHIND THE MONETARY CURVE at every key turning point!And he is MISSING it again, WAY behind the curve this time, and for just ONE reason, in his mind there are not enough LAYOFFS yet to tilt the scales towards getting to a NEUTRAL POLICY as quickly as feasible. He believes this even though there are ample signs that layoffs are EXACTLY what is coming next.Worse yet, from the political side, the Fed actually REVISED their Labor market projections to reflect STRENGTHENING job gains over the NEXT TWO YEARS, offering a vision that includes NO MORE RATE CUTS AT ALL!For sure, several “dots” reflected that exact projection, and Powell went so far as to SAY SO, during his press-conference (I discuss within the podcast).And, at the end of the day, with the onerous Public and Household Debt, $55 trillion in total, INFLATION is here to stay, as “reflating” is the only way to maintain growth, which is necessary to facilitate the SERVICING of debt, now “priced” at over $1 trillion per year in Public Debt interest expense alone!The time for academic solutions, the time for eggheads to spend hours discussing the nuances of nothingness…are far behind us.The Fed has “lost it", and Jay Powell is “flipping off” every hardworking American, and more so, those who CAN'T FIND WORK!Support the showhttps://twitter.com/money_podcastMoney, Markets & New Age Investing Podcast@money_podcasthttps://instagram.com/age_of_polarization_investingMoney, Markets & New Age Investing Podcasthttps://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100094931703462Money, Markets & New Age Investing Podcasthttps://www.youtube.com/@GregoryWeldonhttps://www.youtube.com/@MoneyMarketsNewAgeInvestingPodOur YouTube Channels

S3 E10: Mission Impossible...Teaspoons of Sand

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of Money, Markets & New Age Investing Greg puts forth a new macro-thematic thought process as a way to answer what has become THE MOST asked question of the year…"why now, why after decades of worry, does the US Public Debt MATTER???"The answer is simply physics, and a study of "stabilization" and "rotational angles", and the physics behind how a seesaw "works".Just like Greg's "Debt Black Hole" analogy...the "see-saw", Pete Seger's "Teaspoons of Sand" theory, and the dynamics linked to mass, weight, and angles...to suggest that see-saw has FLIPPED, away from GDP growth, Income growth, Discretionary Spending growth...and the see-saw is now weighed-down by TRILLIONS of spoonful's of sand, which now FAR "outweighs" the economy's capacity to produce growth, without relying on even MORE DEBT.The Fed remains behind-the-monetary-policy-curve, and the Mortgage REITS, Property Developer's shares, the Dow Transportation Average, and Consumer Discretionary sectors got WHACKED last week, as the Fed is facing a Housing market CRISIS, Deflation in the Labor market, a Consumer Credit contraction, and NOW HIGHER INFLATION thanks to Trump's tariffs.The Consumer has reached the tipping point.The Mortgage market has reached the tipping point.The Housing market has reached the tipping point.The Labor market has reached the tipping point.And without the Fed, the Stock-Bond Ratio stands directly in HARM'S WAY, at its most over-valued level EVER, by a factor of more than 2:1, beyond the high in 2000, the high in 2007, and the high in 2018, all of which preceded a MAJOR decline in equity indexes.Yes, the Stock market has also reached...a tipping point...particularly when stock indexes are compared to Bonds and/or Gold.What to do???Start by listening to today's episode, and for Greg's recent US Macro-Market Special Focus, 47 pages of mega-cool charts and thoughts...email Greg directly at gregweldon@weldononline.com Support the showhttps://twitter.com/money_podcastMoney, Markets & New Age Investing Podcast@money_podcasthttps://instagram.com/age_of_polarization_investingMoney, Markets & New Age Investing Podcasthttps://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100094931703462Money, Markets & New Age Investing Podcasthttps://www.youtube.com/@GregoryWeldonhttps://www.youtube.com/@MoneyMarketsNewAgeInvestingPodOur YouTube Channels

S3 E9: Debunking the Macro-Economic Myth that the U.S. Consumer & Labor Market are Strong

Send us Fan MailThe current macro-economic “narrative” is as follows:1. The Consumer remains "strong", with a "healthy" Balance Sheet2. The Labor Market remains "solid." In today's podcast I use FACTS, data and simple mathematics to COMPLETELY blow up that narrative and debunk the greatest macro-economic myth out there right now, that the Consumer remains in a "strong" position, with a "healthy" balance sheet, and that the Labor market remains "solid". The macro-economic data is SOLID, in suggesting the complete OPPOSITE is true, that the Consumer is CHOKING, their Balance Sheet imploding, and a Consumer Cocoon and Credit Crunch is now well underway, more so as the Labor market gets a whiff of outright DEFLATION in the June Employment Situation Report for June. Throw in the New York Federal Reserve Bank's June Consumer Survey, revealing that Consumers fully expect that "real" (inflation-adjusted) Wage-Earnings-Income will DEFLATE by anywhere from (-) 0.7% to as much as (-) 2.1%, depending on Income Level, with those Earning $50,000 per year or less getting CRUSHED!!! As for the Labor market, if not for a +329,000 increase in the Number of People NOT in the Labor Force (AKA dropouts) the Unemployment Rate would have RISEN, as 8 of 19 industries tracked by the BLS posted OUTRIGHT JOB LOSSES, the most in four years ... while Average Weekly Earnings DEFLATED in June, as 14 of 19 industries reported LESS Hours Worked, with the Aggregate Hours Index, used by economists as a proxy for GDP, posted a (-) 3.6% annualized contraction!!!And, Revolving Credit has been DEFLATING on a monthly, and year-year basis, something seen only two other times in US History, in 2008-09 global financial crisis, and the 2020 global health crisis ... thanks in part to a RARE DECLINE in PCE Personal Income, which fell (-) $125 billion in June, leading to an across-the-board decline in Spending!!!Strong??? Yeah, NOTHealthy??? Yeah, NOT Weak??? Hell Yes!!!ILL??? Hell Yes!!! So, what to do, investment wise??I answer that by asking YOU, Got Metals?? Got Crypto??If not, get some NOW!!!
