Contrarian legend Marc Faber returns to Pinnacle Digest with a dire message: America’s fiscal freefall is entering its most dangerous phase yet.

In 60 seconds, see why unlimited stimulus breeds inflation, erodes purchasing power, widens the wealth gap, and pushes economies toward a painful reckoning.

The system isn’t broken - it’s working exactly as designed. Decades of easy money and rising debt have hardwired inflation into the economy... but without real growth, it’s a recipe for stagflation. That’s why investors are being pushed into equities, gold, real assets...

In this quick hit, we expose the mechanics driving today’s financial pressure cooker. It’s not just about prices going up—it’s about where the system forces your capital to flow. Watch to understand the trap.

The system isn’t being fixed - it’s being rigged to survive. Central banks can’t raise rates without breaking everything, and stagflation may not be an accident... but the plan. Here’s what they’re not telling you.

Learn why central banks can’t let the system fail, how yield curve control quietly shifts the pain, and why stagflation might not be a bug... but the system’s blueprint.

This breakdown hits the core of our monetary dysfunction. Watch now—before the next intervention begins.

Canada’s economic engine has stalled - and the consequences are just beginning.

For the first time in decades, Statistics Canada is reporting 0.0% population growth in 2025. But the real story? It’s not just a slowdown in immigration - it’s a record wave of Canadians permanently leaving the country. Over 106,000 people have emigrated in the past 12 months alone, marking one of the highest outflows since the 1960s.

What does this mean for investors?

Real estate sales are falling.

Housing starts are drying up.

Consumer demand is weakening.

This demographic reversal could signal the beginning of a long-term structural decline for key sectors in Canada’s economy. Whether you're exposed to real estate, Canadian equities, or broader macro trends, you can’t afford to ignore this shift.

🏈 Investing isn't about predicting the future — it's about preparing for it.

In this short, Diego Parrilla breaks down why building a portfolio is like coaching a championship football team. Think offense, defense, and teamwork — not crystal balls. Whether you're protecting capital or chasing gains, the best investors play both sides of the field. And the very best are always excellent at defense.

Lastly, the quest for emotional indifference when it comes to investing is paramount.

Structural stagflation, runaway debt, and a market threats —macro strategist Diego Parrilla says the script has already been written. In this wide-ranging interview Diego Parrilla and Aaron Hoddinott unpack why yield-curve control may be the next domino, how gold could leap while oil lags, and the portfolio playbook he calls the “striker-goalkeeper” barbell. If you’re interested in commodities, macro, or tail-risk strategies, this is one interview you’ll want to watch…

🎯 Topics
• Why stagflation is “baked into the game-theory of modern finance.”
• How yield-curve control works.
• Gold’s “few thousand up, few hundred down” setup vs. oil’s fading monopoly.
• The danger of thinking cash or bonds are still safe havens.
• Building an offense-and-defense.
• Whether AI and demographics can really offset monetary inflation.
