Is artificial intelligence propping up an economy that's weaker than it looks? And could the Federal Reserve's fight against inflation trigger the next recession?

Andrew Sarna, Portfolio Manager at Forthlane Partners, joins Maggie Lake on Wealthion to explain why rising Treasury yields, persistent inflation, and an economy increasingly dependent on AI spending could create dangerous conditions for investors.

Sarna warns that the old rules of investing may no longer apply. With government debt mounting, bond markets under pressure, and traditional asset correlations breaking down, investors may need to rethink how they protect and grow their wealth.

In this interview:

📉 The Fed's Biggest Risk: Why further interest-rate hikes could push a vulnerable economy into recession.

🤖 The AI Economy: How massive AI capital spending may be masking weakness in housing, manufacturing, and other sectors.

💥 The Next Financial Shock: Why rising Treasury yields and hidden leverage could trigger an unexpected market crisis.

🥇 Gold and Copper: Why fiscal deficits, electrification, and supply shortages could support real assets over the long term.

📊 The New Diversification: Why traditional stock-and-bond portfolios may struggle in a regime of fiscal dominance.

₿ Bitcoin's Future: Can Bitcoin become a true store of value, or does it remain a speculative risk asset?

⚡ Where the Opportunities Are: Why power infrastructure and senior housing could offer overlooked opportunities beyond the AI boom.

The uranium bull market may have much further to run.Justin Huhn, founder of Uranium Insider, joins Wealthion’s Maggie Lake to break down the growing imbalance between global uranium supply and nuclear power demand — and what it could mean for uranium prices, uranium stocks and investors.Huhn explains why increasing mine production hasn’t solved the market’s structural supply problem, why the long-term uranium contract market may be more important than the spot price, and how utilities are positioning as they secure fuel well into the 2030s.They also discuss the accelerating nuclear renaissance, AI and data-center power demand, the outlook for uranium miners, the role of major producers such as Cameco and Kazatomprom, and where Huhn sees the biggest opportunities — and risks — in the uranium trade.Topics include:Uranium prices • Uranium stocks • Nuclear energy • Uranium supply and demand • AI power demand • Nuclear fuel • Uranium mining • Commodities • Energy investing • Cameco • Kazatomprom • SMRsIf nuclear power demand continues to rise faster than new uranium supply can come online, what happens next?

Are investors really diversified — or has the AI boom turned major stock indexes into one enormous concentrated bet?

Rupert Mitchell, author of The Blind Squirrel, joins Maggie Lake to explain why he believes traditional index investing may now offer a false sense of diversification. His concern: U.S. stocks remain expensive, AI and semiconductor exposure dominates more portfolios than investors realize, and even global indexes may be far more concentrated than they appear.
Mitchell explains why he currently favors the equal-weight S&P 500 over the Nasdaq-100, where he sees better value outside U.S. equities, and how he is constructing a portfolio designed to survive the next 20 years.

They also discuss:

• Why U.S. equities look historically expensive
• The growing concentration of AI and semiconductor stocks
• Equal-weight S&P 500 vs. Nasdaq-100
• Whether the economics of the AI boom will actually hold up
• Gold’s role in a changing global monetary system
• China’s growing influence over oil prices
• Why energy stocks could benefit from a new oil-price regime
• Copper, Glencore and long-term commodity exposure
• How AI could disrupt banks and the financial system
• Why global diversification may matter more than ever
Are you actually diversified — or does your portfolio depend far more on AI than you realize?
Let us know in the comments.

💡 Are you as diversified as you think? If your portfolio is heavily exposed to the same AI-driven names and market themes Rupert describes, your diversification may be more concentrated than it appears.

Could rising interest rates burst the AI bubble—and leave investors exposed in both stocks and bonds? Jesse Felder, founder of The Felder Report, joins Maggie Lake to discuss inflation, Treasury yields, gold and why he believes the commodity supercycle still has room to run.
Felder explains why he sees the potential for another 150–200 basis points of Federal Reserve rate hikes, how tighter credit could threaten the AI investment boom, and why he favors value stocks and real assets in this environment.

The conversation covers bond market instability, private credit risks, AI spending and the case for commodities. Felder also explains why gold could face near-term pressure from higher rates—and how a future Fed intervention could change its outlook

💡 How exposed is your portfolio to the risks Jesse describes? If your stocks and bonds depend on the same favorable conditions, your diversification may deserve a closer look.

Mike McGlone says gold, copper and even Bitcoin have become "stock puppets," so correlated with the S&P 500 that a 10% drop in stocks could crush them all together. Why the asset you thought was a hedge may not be diversifying you at all.Bloomberg commodity strategist Mike McGlone joins Maggie Lake to explain why nearly every major asset, from metals to crypto to oil, is now trading on the back of one thing: the US stock market. He walks through why gold's push above $5,000 and its pullback are a warning rather than a new bull trend, why copper and Bitcoin are lagging stocks at much higher volatility, why he expects crude and diesel to revert to their cost of production, and why he sees a disinflationary reset coming once equities stall.What McGlone covers:Why gold, copper and Bitcoin have become correlated "stock puppets" of the S&P 500The bond market, the 10-year yield above 5%, and what is really driving itWhy he expects energy prices, especially diesel, to revert sharply lowerGold's exciting volatility as a warning sign, not a reason to chase itWhy he thinks Bitcoin's cycle still points toward a much lower lowGrains, soybeans and the one commodity group that is not a stock puppetWhy a 10% drop in the stock market is the real risk to watch this cycle💡 Gold, copper and Bitcoin may look like diversification, but Mike McGlone argues they could all be more tied to the stock market than investors realize.
