Returns 90d -1.6% (n=8) · 180d +0.5% (n=8) · 1y +4.1% (n=8)
Raw direction-aware returns on public statements — long calls credited when the price rose, shorts when it fell, shorts capped at −100% — in a rising market this mostly measures who was long, not who has skill. Returns run from the stance date; calls are rarely closed publicly, so fixed 90-day / 180-day / 1-year horizons are used. A horizon shows only once it has fully matured, and only at 5+ scored stances.

2025-06-24
Long Dur Treasuries
bearish
Wealthion · video
CPI is heading to double digits by late 2027–2028, which will force long bond yields to double digits and destroy bond values; any near-term Treasury rally is temporary as the government desperately refinances $7 trillion
“bye-bye... double-digit yields on long-term bonds”
90d -2.6% · 180d -2.6% · 1y -4.5%

2025-06-24
SPX
bearish
Wealthion · video
S&P is at a critical inflection point where geopolitical escalation and stagflation will trigger at least a 25% fall over the summer months before central banks flood the system
“we are at a very critical inflection point... followed by at least a 25% fall over the summer months”
90d -10.2% · 180d -13.5% · 1y -22.2%

2025-06-24
GOLD
bullish
Wealthion · video
BRICS nations are building a gold-backed currency system via Shanghai gold exchange vaults in member countries, with trade surpluses collateralized in gold; if dollar hegemony breaks, gold is the foundation of the replacement system
“I think the primary beneficiary is gold... gold will be the foundation for their new currency”
Simon Hunt’s 2025–2028 Crash Warning — Stagflation, War & the BRICS Gold Move
2025-06-24
BASE METALS
bearish
Wealthion · video
G7 recession underway through early 2026 will drive sharp falls in the base metal complex as demand contracts
“you'll see sharp falls in the base metal complex”
Simon Hunt’s 2025–2028 Crash Warning — Stagflation, War & the BRICS Gold Move
2025-06-24
CNY (CHINESE YUAN)
bullish
Wealthion · video
China's manufacturing dominance, AI-driven factory automation, BRICS gold-backed system, and reduced dollar hegemony will cause the yuan to significantly outperform the dollar and other G7 fiat currencies over five years
“the two currencies that will significantly outperform the dollar... will be China's CNY and Russia's ruble”
Simon Hunt’s 2025–2028 Crash Warning — Stagflation, War & the BRICS Gold Move
2025-06-24
RUSSIAN RUBLE
bullish
Wealthion · video
Russia carries very little debt, holds large (underreported) gold reserves, and follows non-Keynesian fiscal policy — structural fundamentals that will cause the ruble to significantly outperform G7 fiat currencies
“You look at the chart of the ruble now — it's already turning round”
Simon Hunt’s 2025–2028 Crash Warning — Stagflation, War & the BRICS Gold Move
2025-01-31
OIL
bullish
Wealthion · video
Oil remains the indispensable energy source for human society and industry; new Permian Basin breakeven costs far exceed $45/bbl and Saudi Arabia needs ~$85 to avoid selling US Treasuries to fund its own deficit, setting a durable structural floor
“the most critical... it's oil... for a long time”
90d -17.3% · 180d +3.9% · 1y -3.4%

GOLD
bullish
Wealthion · video
Central banks are diversifying out of dollars into physical gold, China's citizens and ministries hold ~50,000 tonnes suggesting a potential gold-backed yuan announcement, and Russia similarly under-reports reserves — all creating persistent structural demand
“buy all the dips and hold”
90d +15.0% · 180d +16.4% · 1y +65.2%

short FAANG / short SPX
pair
Wealthion · video
FAANG names will fall roughly twice as hard as the broader S&P in the coming correction because mega-cap tech carries the most valuation premium to unwind
“20% coming off shall we say the SNP and 40% in the fangs”
