What’s behind today’s market move… Where I agree—and disagree—with Cathie Wood’s CNBC interview… How major companies from Walmart to Ford are entering the metaverse ()… Why October could be a terrible month for stocks… And the best way to protect yourself—and make a fortune—during a market crash.

This week is all about the Fed.  Daniel joins me once again to discuss yesterday’s interest rate hike, and what stood out about Fed Chair Jerome Powell's comments… Prepare for a couple of rants on why Powell is driving blind… and what we need to see before stocks become cheap. I break down why the U.S. dollar will keep rising… and how this will impact the global economy.  Bottom line, Powell is going to push stocks significantly lower. If you don’t have portfolio protection in place, this strategy is one of the best ways to play defense… and start profiting from a falling market.

By the time you see this, the Fed will have announced its latest interest rate increase… and Fed Chair Jerome Powell will have held his press conference.  Daniel and I discuss what to expect from the market following Powell’s speech… the Fed’s big blind spot when it comes to inflation data... and why this meeting is a make-or-break moment for stocks. Next, Daniel highlights the impressive results from AutoZone (AZO)—and why good news for AZO is bad news for the economy. And I explain why banks—which typically benefit from higher rates—are suffering from the Fed’s actions.

Tomorrow, the Fed will announce its latest interest rate hike… and investors are on the edge of their seats as they wait to hear from Fed Chair Jerome Powell. I bring in Daniel Creech to get his take on how hawkish (or dovish) the Fed will be.  Daniel shares some wild details from Powell’s recent speech from Jackson Hole… and explains why Fed members are happy to see the markets fall.  I recap why the Fed is out of its mind lately, as it ignores the most important data when it comes to inflation. But there’s still a chance it comes to its senses. I break down exactly what the Fed could say that would spark a 1,000-point rally tomorrow. Hedge fund manager and “SPAC King” Chamath Palihapitiya is in the news again after canceling two of his SPAC deals. Prepare for a rant on why SPACs aren’t a level playing field for regular investors… how these rich guys pump the share prices before dumping their positions… and how much money Chamath made on these kinds of deals.  Lastly, if you’re interested in fully-vetted private placement deals, check out a membership to , where you’ll have access to amazing opportunities from an insider network you can trust.  In this episode  Why the Fed is happy about this bear market [0:30] Why the markets could rally 1,000 points tomorrow [7:33]  The Fed should pay attention to FedEx’s warning [20:15]  The “SPAC King” is full of s*** [25:15]  Proof SPAC investing isn’t a level playing field [29:50] Investments that give individual investors access to Wall Street gains [38:30] Enjoyed this episode?

I start today’s podcast with the headlines you should pay attention to about digital assets, NFTs, and the billions flowing into this space… Then, Dr. Ravi Singh, internet pioneer with a Ph.D in social media and technology, joins me to explain what you need to know about NFTs… how you could use them to monetize your social media—and even build generational wealth for your great-grandkids… and why NFTs will be extremely valuable in the metaverse. Plus, he shares what he learned about influence and engagement from analyzing Trump’s tweets. I break down why Wall Street still isn’t grasping this the potential of NFTs… and why they represent an opportunity like no other for life-changing returns.

After yesterday’s market selloff, investors are processing a lot of negative news… I break down the details of the latest inflation numbers… why yesterday’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) data doesn’t paint an accurate picture of what’s really going on… and why the Fed should be focused on today’s Producer Price Index (PPI) numbers—which tell a completely different story. Plus, I share why I think there’s more pain ahead for the stock market. Despite the 10% pullback in Bitcoin yesterday, Daniel shares some exciting news for the crypto industry: Some of the biggest names on Wall Street have joined forces to launch a new crypto exchange: EDX Markets.  Finally, I share a no-brainer solution to the chaos in the global energy markets… (which you can get easy exposure to with The Dollar Stock Club)… In this episode  Breaking down yesterday's market plunge [0:30] The difference between CPI and PPI [4:40] How the Fed will cause more pain for stocks [11:38] Wall Street’s biggest names have teamed up on crypto [23:14]  You need exposure to this no-brainer energy play [31:40] Enjoyed this episode?

Markets are down sharply as today’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) data came in hotter than expected—leaving investors worried the Fed will continue its aggressive interest rate hikes. Prepare for a rant on the government’s “creative” inflation calculations… and why the Fed should ignore the CPI figure altogether—but won’t.  I explain how world governments are contributing to 40-year-high inflation… what the Fed should do to finally tame it… and why markets could drop 20% from here if the Fed doesn’t get its act together. On the plus side, I expect the Fed’s actions to lead to some great deals on Black Friday.

BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, is partnering with Coinbase to offer crypto to its clients. Daniel and I discuss why this is huge for the crypto space… and why every investor should have exposure to crypto—even during this brutal bear market. We also highlight when we expect the U.S. government to clarify crypto regulations. Samsung recently warned investors that semiconductor demand will drop in the second half of 2022. I break down this grim economic warning… and the similar signals we’re seeing from other corners of the economy.  Finally, Daniel shares a “boring” company that rewards shareholders through any economic conditions… and I share my favorite play on end-of-summer entertainment.

Fed members can’t help themselves: They continue to move markets with their speeches and seem dead-set on crashing every asset class. (And Daniel thinks the Fed is trolling me.) The Wall Street Journal reports that the Fed may hike interest rates by another 75 basis points later this month… and continue its aggressive path for the foreseeable future. I break down how hard and fast stocks will fall from current levels if the Fed follows through on this plan. In fact, it’s pushing us towards a depression. Turning to energy, Daniel highlights why all investors should have exposure to oil & gas stocks right now… and one activist investor urging more oil and natural gas production. But I disagree, and explain the no-brainer way to play the energy markets (which you can get easy exposure to with The Dollar Stock Club)… In this episode Is the Fed trolling me?

I’m getting a lot of questions regarding , when I stated I’d gone bearish.  While data shows inflation is coming down—along with the price of oil (the sector with the largest impact on consumers)—the Fed seems hell-bent on more interest rate hikes. I share what I need to see to rejoin the bullish camp… and why I’m struggling to find a growth catalyst for markets.  But it’s not all negative…  There are two sectors you can scale into now… and reap the rewards once the Fed finally realizes its plan is working and eases rates.

Marc Lichtenfeld, chief income strategist at The Oxford Club, is back on the show to discuss the economy… income opportunities… and biotech. He explains why the market pullback is great for income investors… how to accelerate the long-term compounding process—a financial phenomenon most investors ignore… and why he’s looking at bonds for income.  Income investors should also consider Unlimited Income, where the average recommendation is still up… and spitting out consistent cash payments month after month—despite the recent pullback. Marc shares how he finds great bonds… how to avoid simple bond investing mistakes… and why investors don’t need to worry about stocks when they practice one simple bond strategy. We also discuss the volatility in biotech… and the solid risk/reward setup he sees right now.  In this episode  Why Marc thinks the market will go lower [2:40] How investors can accelerate compounding [5:22] Individual bonds vs. bond funds and ETFs [12:00] Marc’s methodology for investing in individual bonds [16:05] Income stocks Marc likes right now [18:52]  A solid risk/reward setup in biotech [22:13] Enjoyed this episode?

Today’s show starts with a look at the recent earnings from Chewy (CHWY), an online marketplace for pet-related goods. Daniel and I discuss the results… what they tell us about consumers’ spending habits… and what to watch out for when investing in retailers.   Despite the ongoing market volatility, I highlight one asset class everyone should be buying right now… and why it’s poised to rip higher on any sign of a slowdown in the Fed’s interest rate hikes. We’ll be taking advantage of the uptrend in my Curzio Venture Opportunities newsletter. (If you’re not a member, join us here… get my picks as soon as they’re released.) Switching gears a bit… The massive amount of money pouring into the metaverse is mind-boggling… especially when you consider it’s happening in the midst of a brutal bear market for the tech sector. Daniel and I discuss some of the criticisms about the metaverse (like the current graphics quality) and explain why the critics are missing the long-term picture. I explain what to focus on when comparing different metaverses… and a project I’m working on with TCG World to give you a sneak peak at the mind-blowing opportunity its virtual land offers.  I also rant about last weekend’s Video Music Awards… and the opportunity it missed to showcase the potential of the metaverse.  And finally, Daniel and I discuss the latest developments in the uranium/nuclear energy space. I break down why I'm more bullish than ever on this sector… and I share a handful of names you can invest in to participate in the uranium bull market.  In this episode  What Chewy’s results tell us about consumers [3:15] An update on the massive money flowing into the metaverse [11:50] Coming soon: A sneak peek at TCG World [18:50] Why owning your own content is such a big deal [20:45]  How the VMAs missed the mark on the metaverse [26:38]  Why you need exposure to uranium right now [30:55] Enjoyed this episode?

I start today’s show with a non-financial story: Paddling is coming back to schools. I share some wild facts around corporal punishment laws… and my own experience as a Catholic school student—including what the nuns were really like. The markets are in turmoil after Powell’s speech last week at Jackson Hole. And the volatility has sent Genia's risk-hedge strategy into “overdrive.” Be sure you’ve got the kind of protection she recommends in place before September 21—the next Fed meeting… It will be a make-or-break moment for markets.

As you probably know, I just got back from the Crypto Connect & NFT Expo… And despite the crypto bear market, the attendees' energy was electric. I highlight the critical feature that has everybody excited about the metaverse’s game-changing potential. Longtime listeners know I’ve been pounding the table on metaverse investing.

They predict it will be the biggest tech trend we’ve seen yet. On Friday, Fed Chair Jerome Powell will speak from Jackson Hole. Daniel shares what he expects to hear—and the major announcement he foresees from the Fed over the next few months.

Stocks moved lower yesterday as investors worried about Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s upcoming speech from Jackson Hole, Wyoming. I continue to pound the table on why the Fed is the biggest risk to the markets. I highlight how the Fed has crushed a major sector just six months… and what possible actions would cause me to sell stocks.

Today’s interview is one of many fantastic conversations I recorded at last month’s Metaverse Expo 2022…  Multi-platinum recording artist Dyl shares how he struggled to make money, despite his hits… how he discovered crypto… and how he blended it with his passion—music. He explains how he’s made more money with non-fungible tokens (NFTs) than from his 10-year record contract… why they're a win-win for artists and fans alike… and how NFTs and the metaverse will revolutionize the entire music industry—from music labels to concert experiences.

We highlight what’s behind the massive move (it’s not retail investors)... and share some sobering details about the stock’s fundamentals. Turning to 13F filings, we share where the smart money is investing right now… why these filings need to be taken with a grain of salt… and why Amazon (AMZN) stood out.

This past weekend, I went to Saratoga to watch the races with some lifelong friends. My dad was a huge horse racing fan… and I share some of my favorite memories from our trips to the track.   Places like Saratoga can tell us a lot about the economy. I highlight what I saw—including the crowd sizes and prices—and whether it lines up with investors’ fears about a recession.  Speaking of boots-on-the-ground research, I’ll be at the Crypto Connect & NFT Expo in Palm Beach, Florida this weekend. If you’re interested in free VIP tickets, .  Turning to the market, I highlight what stood out in Walmart’s latest earnings results… and why the company deserves credit for handling the biggest risk to retailers. The talking heads on Wall Street have been dead wrong about inflation since January. Now that stocks are rising, they’re saying it’s nothing more than a bear market rally. I break down why they’re wrong (again)...  2022 has been rough for investors. But the Fed’s plan to bring down inflation is working. I cover some of the other risks… and highlight the one thing that would make me want to sell stocks and move to the sidelines. Finally, I share my thoughts on a biotech… sector that could soon soar.

Stocks are surging as the latest data shows inflation is moderating—but we’re not out of the woods yet. I break down the market’s positive reaction to the news… and what the data means for future interest rate hikes. And while the Fed’s plan to lower inflation is working… I explain why Fed members remain the biggest threat to the market.  I also highlight which stocks will soar—and which ones will struggle—as inflation comes down. By the way, later this week, members will get at least two new stock picks in the perfect position to profit in this environment. For immediate access as soon as they’re published, join now.

Today I look under the hood of this earnings season. The results have been solid overall—but the headlines can be misleading...  Federal Reserve members continue to trigger market volatility with their speculative comments. While this drives me crazy, I give credit to the Fed for its plan to fight inflation. Next, I break down why—despite mixed earnings, rising rates, and massive inflation—this environment is actually good for stocks... I explain how to find quality companies that will shine regardless of a recession… and why the metaverse is practically guaranteed to create a windfall for early investors. In this episode:  The Fed’s plan to lower inflation is working [4:25] Why Q2 earnings aren’t as strong as they seem [7:55] Proof this is a stock picker’s market [16:30] How to find quality stocks for any economy [28:25]  The metaverse is practically a guaranteed windfall [34:35] Enjoyed this episode?

Earlier this week, a Fed member suggested hiking interest rates from 2.5% to 4% by the end of the year. Daniel explains why this isn’t feasible without crashing the market… I go on a rant about the Fed… and why idiotic comments from its members continue to be the biggest risk in the markets. For instance, the Fed said it needs to see evidence inflation is coming down before it alters its rate-hiking path. I give it to them… Turning to earnings: Ford (F) finally seems to be getting its act together… but it continues to drive me crazy. Paypal (PYPL) surged following earnings. Daniel breaks down why he’s bullish on the stock—but it has nothing to do with its results. And finally, I call out popular hedge fund manager Chamath Palihapitiya for taking advantage of SoFi (SOFI) investors… and how to find great companies that have gotten wrecked. In this episode: How the Fed is causing volatility [3:00] The Fed is made up of idiots [6:25] Convincing evidence inflation is coming down [11:25] The Fed could cause the market to fall 25% [13:10] Ford is getting its act together [22:50] Why Daniel is bullish on PYPL [27:10] How Chamath took advantage of SOFI investors [32:00] Enjoyed this episode?

I’m back from vacation! I highlight what I saw from the airlines, hotels, and restaurants… and why these businesses need to start paying more attention to their customers. Daniel shares what stood out to him from RV retailer Camping World Holdings’ (CWH) recent earnings report… and why the company continues to shine despite 40-year-high inflation and rising interest rates.  We discuss power management firm Eaton Corp’s (ETN) solid earnings—and what they say about a global recession. Plus, we go over the positives and negatives from semiconductor company Advanced Micro Devices’ (AMD) results… and how it’s crushing Intel (INTC).  In this episode  Some highlights from my vacation [1:26] Why Daniel is impressed with CWH [6:05] A warning to the service industry [13:25]  What ETN’s results say about a global recession [15:20] Why AMD continues to crush INTC [27:00] Enjoyed this episode?

Last , I (Daniel) explained the fight between the SEC and crypto exchange Coinbase… and how it could spell trouble for plenty of other crypto exchanges. I also highlighted why Overstock (OSTK) will be one of the few winners as the regulatory pressure ramps up. Today, I share more details on how CEO David Goone is transforming the company’s crypto trading platform, tZERO, into a global juggernaut.  Earnings season is in full swing. I highlight the latest results from oil giant ExxonMobil’s (XOM)… and why you should pay particular attention to its refining business. I also share a handful of energy stocks that should be on your radar. In this episode  Crypto exchanges could be in trouble as regulation ramps up [4:10] How David Goone is turning tZERO into a juggernaut [11:40]  Will you be able to trade NFTs on tZERO?

Frank’s on vacation with his family, so I (Daniel) am behind the mic this week. The market surged after Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s press conference yesterday, which followed another 75-basis-point interest rate hike. I break down what he said that sent markets soaring… and what it means for “risk-on” assets going forward. The next Fed meeting isn’t until September, which means investors can shift their attention back to inflation and the economy. I share what to expect from inflation over the next couple of months… and how the recent pullback in commodities will affect the data. Despite the pullback, I’m still bullish on commodities… and explain why you should have exposure to this sector—particularly oil and gas. In this episode Why the markets surged after Powell’s press conference [1:30] Powell’s thoughts on jobs, spending, and whether we’re in a recession [9:20]  The role of commodities in future inflation data [13:15]  Why you should be long energy stocks [17:00]  Enjoyed this episode?

Frank is on vacation for the rest of the week, so I (Daniel) am behind the mic. Later today, the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates—most likely by 75 basis points… but what Fed Chair Jerome Powell says during his press conference afterwards will have a greater impact. (I’ll cover the market reaction on tomorrow's show.) I also dig into into Coinbase’s insider trading drama, including the bad blood between Coinbase and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). I explain why you need to pay attention to this story… and highlight a stock that will benefit from the fallout.

I’m traveling this week for a family vacation. And whenever I leave, the markets seem to move lower…  Walmart is keeping the trend alive by announcing negative news, pushing shares down around 10%. I explain what Walmart’s announcement means for investors as inflation rages.  Right now, the market is focused on two things: The Fed meeting Wednesday and the GDP report due out Thursday. I break down what I expect the outcomes to be… I also tell you which companies to pay attention to this wild earnings season… especially Ford.   In this episode [Aim for 5 bullets max]: Two focal points for markets [3:00]  How high will interest rates will go before the Fed pauses?

There’s a lot of negative news in the markets. But Andrew warns against joining the bearish bandwagon… and highlights some bargains in stocks.  Next, Andrew breaks down why the recent earnings from big banks aren’t as bad as they seem… what investors should expect to see as more quarterly results come in… and why it’s important to keep perspective this earnings season. And he asks investors an important question: Are you a penguin… or an ostrich?

To start today’s show, Daniel and I discuss the ultimate DIY project: building your own casket.  Despite horrible sentiment going into the quarter, Netflix (NFLX) reported better-than-expected Q2 earnings yesterday. We share how the company is maturing… and why it’s becoming a value stock. Next, I compare Netflix’s results to Disney (DIS)... and explain why all streaming companies aren’t created equal. Long-time listeners know I’ve been bearish on Disney for a while… but there’s a simple move it could make to quickly double its stock price. We also break down the latest earnings from Baker Hughes (BKR) and Halliburton (HAL). While both are in the oil industry, the results and outlook couldn't be more different. Bitcoin is finally rallying after the long selloff in the crypto sector. Daniel explains why the recent pain is a long-term positive… and I highlight the big money moving into the space.

Brace yourself… today’s show offers something that’s non-existent in the current market: optimism. Believe it or not, the widespread negativity is actually a bullish sign for investors.  On today’s podcast, I recap the last week of trading, the 40-year high in inflation, and what to expect from the Fed next week.  There are a lot of issues putting pressure on the market, but here’s the bottom line: You need to be a contrarian… especially now that nearly everyone is bearish. I also sift through the data the Fed is watching… and explain why Fed Chair Jerome Powell is about to trigger a big market rally over the next couple of months. In this episode: Why I’m optimistic (and you should be too) [1:00] Why the Fed’s rate hikes could slow by September [3:00] Some signs inflation is coming down [9:15] What the latest bank earnings tell us about the economy [14:15] This is how a market bottom forms [17:10] These contrarian indicators are making me bullish [25:05] How Fed Chief Powell will ignite a 15% market rally (or more) [30:50] Enjoyed this episode?

Today’s episode includes one of my many great interviews from the Metaverse Expo 2022 in Las Vegas last weekend. RJ White is an entrepreneur, successful businesswoman, and owner of a professional men’s basketball team—the Vipers, from Gurnee, Illinois. RJ shares her background and how she knew she wanted to be a professional basketball owner when she was just 6 years old. We discuss how she built a massive social media following… her future goals… and how she encourages young women to pursue their dreams. We also cover how sports branding will work in the metaverse… and the enormous potential ahead.  In this episode: RJ’s journey to becoming a basketball team owner [2:05] How to build a massive social media following [4:05] RJ’s next goal: Own an NBA franchise [6:20]  How to inspire young girls/woman today [10:43] How to build a brand in the metaverse [11:50]  A recap of my Metaverse Expo keynote [15:55] Enjoyed this episode?

This morning’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) reading came in at a staggering 9.1%... but because the CPI is a lagging indicator, this number leaves out important data that shows we could be near peak inflation. I explain why inflation is no longer the biggest threat to the market… and what’s really concerning me about the economy right now. And Daniel and I debate what the Fed needs to do to bring back the bull market. Could Elon Musk end up in hot water—or even jail—for backing out of his deal to buy Twitter (TWTR)? I recap the dramatic, ongoing spat between Musk and Twitter… and how it’s a battle of who’s more full of s***. Daniel and I disagree about whether to consider Twitter for a trade… and I highlight the biggest risk that no one is talking about. In this episode: Why today’s high CPI reading could represent peak inflation [1:53] The biggest risk to markets right now isn’t inflation [7:10] What we need to see from the Fed for markets to rally [13:50] Could Musk go to jail over the Twitter fiasco?

I just got back from the Metaverse Expo 2022 in Las Vegas and it was an amazing conference. I start today’s episode with a recap of the experience… and why the metaverse may be the largest trend on the planet. I highlight the trillions of dollars flowing into the space… why the “permissionless” worlds will be the winners of this trend… and why the metaverse will go mainstream within six months. I also explain why NFTs (an important component of the metaverse) will be the next trillion-dollar trend. By the way, stay tuned… I’ll be releasing some exclusive content from the Metaverse Expo very soon.

I’m excited to welcome Andrew Bustamante, former CIA agent and founder of Everyday Spy, to the show. We discuss how media outlets feed you what you want to hear… and how to sift through the noise and find the truth.  Turning to macroeconomics, Andrew gives us his perspective on the Russia/Ukraine war—why this event wasn’t spontaneous or a surprise… whether it would have happened under the Trump Administration… who feels the most pain from Russian sanctions (it’s not Russia)... and one country reaping the rewards. Plus, Andrew makes a bold prediction about a Chinese invasion in 2024… and shares how to invest based on current geopolitics.

With a new earnings season kicking off next week… the latest inflation data releasing on the 13th… and a Fed meeting later this month, the markets are in waiting mode. Daniel Creech joins me today to break it all down…  As Daniel explains, the Fed has painted itself into a corner with the U.S. debt load… and we may see an interest rate cut early next year. I share my prediction for when the Fed will stop its rate hikes… and why that’s bullish for the economy.  The Fed’s efforts to bring down inflation are working… as commodity prices (including oil) are coming down as interest rates rise. Daniel and I debate where prices are headed next. One of us is buying oil stocks right now… while the other expects more pain ahead.

I hope you enjoyed your Independence Day weekend! I start today’s show with a quick rant about those who oppose this national holiday… and highlight my own fun experiences from the weekend. While the Fed must force a recession to moderate inflation, the tactic appears to be working. I highlight some positive signs we’re seeing across markets, from bonds to commodities… And why I believe the Fed’s rate hikes could end sooner rather than later—which would cause the market to surge. I reiterate why you should start scaling into positions right now… and share my 3-part checklist for finding the best opportunities.

Bitcoin dipped below $20,000 as overleveraged companies are going bust. We start today’s show by discussing the liquidation of crypto hedge fund Three Arrows Capital and its ripple effects… the flaws of MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor’s “all-in” Bitcoin strategy… and how the current crypto bear market reminds me of the dot-com crash.  Next, we discuss Morgan Stanley’s ridiculous call that Carnival Corp will go to zero… and I explain why I’m bullish on the cruise industry. In fact, my latest recommendation is a Carnival competitor.  Finally, I highlight why Intel’s recent price action hints the markets could be near a bottom—and an important lesson from previous bear markets.  In this episode: Overleveraged crypto companies are unraveling [1:55] MicroStrategy's “all-in” Bitcoin strategy is flawed [6:30] Could Bitcoin go to $250k next year?

With all the negative headlines right now, it seems like some of the positive headlines are being overlooked…  I start today’s show with the positive results from the Fed’s recent bank stress test… the major signs inflation is finally peaking… and why I expect the Fed to end its rate-hiking path. I share why the worst of the selloff is behind us—and which sector I’m looking to buy right now.  What’s causing the massive volatility in the oil market? I break down the battle between buyers and sellers… and why I expect it to continue.

Adam Russell, cybersecurity expert and cofounder of , joins me to discuss cybersecurity, cryptos, DeFi, and the metaverse. In this wide-ranging interview, Adam shares what led him to start REV3AL—a company that authenticates digital assets like non-fungible tokens (NFTs) to protect investors from fraud. He explains how easy it is to get scammed by QR codes… and which apps you can trust. Adam also breaks down Web 2.0 vs. Web 3.0 in layman’s terms… and the difference between “open” and “controlled” metaverses. You’ll also learn why the metaverse will eventually go mainstream… what it’ll look like in five years (think The Matrix or Ready Player One)… and why cybersecurity will be needed at multiple levels.  In this episode: What got Adam hooked on the metaverse?

At this point, it’s basically certain we’ll see a recession in the near future… The Fed has no choice but to cause one in order to tame inflation. But while we may be (technically) headed for recession, I explain why it’s not as scary as the media makes it sound—and why now’s the time to start picking away at great opportunities. For example, small caps are historically cheap… and one country is ripe for investment. Turning to oil… Daniel and I break down the comedic standoff between oil companies and the Biden Administration—and share several of our favorite energy plays.

To start the show, I share some personal stories about the inflation I’ve witnessed. I break down why the Fed is forcing us into a recession… why we (likely) haven’t hit bottom yet… and what you should be paying attention in this deleveraging process. The current bear market is tough to stomach… but the lower the stock market goes, the more attractive stocks become. I share why I’m getting more aggressive with my buying… and one particular country I’m investing in (hint: it’s in Asia and has a booming energy sector). I also share my checklist to find the best sectors and stocks. And I’m crazy bullish about one particular class of stocks… In this episode: Inflation is crushing small businesses [2:00] Is there more downside in this market? [5:00]  The truth about recessions [9:15]  Why I’m buying more aggressively [16:45] The one country where I’m looking to invest [20:00] My favorite sectors right now [26:45] I’m crazy bullish on one class of stocks [29:30] Enjoyed this episode?

For the last few days, I’ve been at an investment summit in Orlando. It seems every time I’m away, the market tanks… But it’s a great time to start buying stocks. I explain why you need to start picking away at your watchlist. The biggest news is the Fed’s 0.75% interest rate hike—and I do something a little unusual: give credit to the Fed. But it still has a lot of work left to do… I also break down how rising rates will impact homebuyers. The crypto market is the riskiest it’s ever been… but its long-term reward profile is incredible. I highlight innovation in the crypto space—including our metaverse land deal with TCG World… and how accredited investors can join us. In this episode: Why I’m aggressively buying stocks [1:00] Credit to the Fed where it’s due [6:15]  Should you buy a home as mortgage rates rise? [10:14]  What’s behind the massive crypto crash?

Markets are in wait-and-see mode ahead of today’s Federal Reserve announcement, which is expected to include a 75-point (0.75%) interest rate hike. Frank and I (Daniel) will go over the Fed’s decision in detail on tomorrow’s podcast. I start today’s show with some drastic advice from Jeff Gundlach, the “Bond King”... who wants the Fed to raise rates dramatically at its meeting today. I also break down some recent government policies that could have a big effect on gas prices and investment returns in the energy sector.  Plus, I share some of the characteristics of the best stocks to buy in a bear market… and a few companies that should be on every investor’s watchlist right now. In this episode: What the “Bond King” thinks the Fed should do [1:15] Why politics are pushing up energy prices [7:10]  How companies can fight back against anti-energy policies [12:45]  Fundamentals matter again… Here’s what to look for [17:25] Stocks that belong on your watchlist [19:30] Enjoyed this episode?

Frank is on the road, so I (Daniel) am behind the mic to break down the extreme market volatility… I review last Friday’s higher-than-expected Consumer Price Index (CPI) reading… the resulting selloff… how the Fed is rattling the markets… and what to expect from tomorrow’s Fed meeting (where we should expect more aggressive rate hikes). Turning to the selloff in cryptocurrencies, I highlight what’s causing investors to panic… and two crypto bulls handling the negativity the right way.  In this episode: The real reason behind Friday’s selloff [1:15] Why extreme volatility is the new normal [5:50] How to take advantage of bear market rallies [8:25]  What to expect from the Fed meeting tomorrow [13:15]  What’s causing panic in the crypto markets?
