2026-03-30 What’s Next for the U.S. Economy? Recession Signals, Wealth Migration & the $10K Gold Prediction

Author: Dennis Tubbergen March 30, 2026 Duration: 38:00
Are we heading into a recession in 2026? In this episode of RLA Radio, Dennis Tubbergen analyzes IRS migration data showing high-income earners relocating from high-tax states like California and New York to tax-friendly states such as Florida and Texas. Financial expert Ed Dowd joins the show to discuss the U.S. economic outlook, stock market risks, housing market correction, AI bubble concerns, and Federal Reserve policy. Topics include recession indicators, S&P 500 downside risk, deflation vs inflation cycles, gold and silver investment strategy, central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), and long-term wealth protection. If you're interested in economic trends, investing strategies, tax policy, and financial planning, this episode delivers critical insights for navigating today’s uncertain economy. Edward Dowd is a numbers guy who sniffed out Wall Street’s game—he ran a $14 billion equity growth fund at BlackRock before he walked. Now, he's living on the beautiful island of Maui, working as an independent economic & investment analyst and co-founder of Phinance Technologies, still digging into what’s real. His bestselling book, Cause Unknown, threw a wrench in the pandemic story—sudden deaths, economic fallout, stuff they won’t touch. He’s not parroting the suits; he’s mapping the looming debt crisis and what’s coming. To learn more about our guest, Ed Dowd, visit www.eddowd.com.
