Daniel just returned from a trip to Arizona… and has some interesting observations about the labor shortage in airports. [0:35] While on his trip, Daniel was able to speak with business owners involved in construction and real estate… He shares some insight on these sectors… and explains why inflation will get much worse before it gets better. [5:30] Automakers continue to deal with semiconductor shortages and supply chain issues… but Tesla seems to be bucking this trend. Quite frankly, some of the bearish price targets on Tesla seem ridiculous. Daniel and I discuss whether sell-side analysis is meaningless in today’s investing world… and Daniel divulges which automaker he’d buy right now, and why (hint: it involves politics). [22:30] As bitcoin prices jumped over $50k, JPMorgan CEO and famous bitcoin skeptic Jamie Dimon took yet another dig at the asset’s “intrinsic value.” Daniel and I examine the “intrinsic value” argument… and highlight why you don’t need to worry about the U.S. banning crypto anytime soon—and why you need exposure to bitcoin… [25:25] And for an easy way to add crypto to your portfolio, make sure to check out my advisory. We’ve got some massive winners in the portfolio—I’m talking in the triple and quadruple digits—with more room to run. [33:00] Enjoyed this episode?

It’s been a crazy several months here at Curzio Research. (If you haven’t heard, our will soon be trading here in the U.S. on the tZERO platform.)   My wife and I decided to get away for the weekend... And inflation is everywhere… from the cost of food and drink… to hotels and parking (which we found out at a Guns N’ Roses concert). [00:30]   If that wasn’t bad enough, the casino’s jackpot sizes were tiny.    The casino we visited is on Native American land. I share some wild stats on how Native American casinos are regulated... and what makes them different from other casinos. [12:05]   Next, I explain why FedEx is warning about the rising costs of raw material and labor… and why we need to be prepared for a lot more companies to do the same. [18:00]   A listener gives me a pat on the back for my COVID coverage and shares his experience with the virus. I share some data on why some folks are willing to get the vaccine... while others are still reluctant. Plus, I reiterate why it should be a personal choice to make. [27:10]   Carbon Streaming Corporation just announced a reverse stock split. I’m an investor in this company, and a listener wants to know if I'm concerned. In short, no. I explain why management is taking this action... and why it’s great for investors. [30:17] Enjoyed this episode?

The market continues to be volatile. Daniel and I discuss the political theatrics surrounding the U.S. debt ceiling... and whether investors need to worry. [0:40] Two Fed presidents resigned this week over controversial personal stock trades. Daniel goes on a quick rant about why this is a sliver of positive news... and why you shouldn’t feel sorry for them. [6:50] As interest rates continue to move higher, investors are realizing inflation isn’t transitory. For months, I’ve been saying inflation is the biggest risk to the markets. Today, I lay out why tech stocks are hurt the most by higher rates... and why we haven’t seen a bottom in the supply chain woes. [8:35] Meanwhile, rising costs have led a couple of major corporations to issue lower guidance… Be prepared: As winter approaches—and particularly the holiday season—hundreds of companies across sectors will be forced to do the same... [11:40] And, with supply chain pressure expected to continue for months, Daniel and I share several names to pay attention to as capital flows out of growth stocks and into cyclical/value plays.

My nephew, Joe Davide, is back on the show to discuss investing from the Gen Z perspective. If you’ve never heard Joe before, you’re in for a treat... Listeners love his authenticity and transparency. [0:38] Today, he gives an update on how his portfolio has fared over the last six months. [3:45] In a great teachable moment, we discuss how to manage winners and losers... and what led Joe to have a change of heart and sell several positions. [6:30] He explains where he’s finding his ideas... and how he conducts research before pulling the trigger on stocks. [9:37] Next, Joe shares why he only holds one position right now—a SPAC—and explains why he’s planning to hold for the long term.  I share my opinion on this name… point out a few things to pay attention to when looking at the fundamentals… and explain why SPACs could have a lot of pain ahead. [11:25] Finally, we discuss the most important investing lesson… why you must focus on portfolio management... and staying in the investing game over the long term. [23:30] Enjoyed this episode?

One of the best things about my job is getting in early on the biggest trends. I recap some of the biggest bull markets we’ve seen over recent years, from commodities… to crypto… to the Internet of Things (IoT)... and much more. [0:30] Smart investors were able to make life-changing gains off of all of these trends… But there’s one I believe will be bigger than any we’ve ever seen before: environmental, social, and governance (ESG) ordinances to fight climate change. [7:19] I lay out some data on why ESG is set to create one of the biggest investing opportunities we’ve ever seen in the history of the markets… including how the government is forcing upside. [11:48] And I share several companies set to profit from this trend, ranging from solar companies to automakers… including where I just personally invested $100k. [15:30] Speaking of energy, as the price of uranium moves higher, a subscriber asks if she’s missed the window of opportunity. In short, no… and I explain why you want to scale into these positions over time. [23:40] Interested in being a newsletter analyst? I explain why you need to find your own style… and my plan on starting an investing clinic over the next few months. [27:43]   Enjoyed this episode?

Frank Holmes, CEO and chief investment officer of U.S. Global Investors (and fan-favorite guest), joins me to discuss everything from travel… to retail investors… to the “central banking cartel” and more... As travel begins to get somewhat back to normal, Frank explains why he’s bullish on airlines. [0:55] We also discuss how the internet has helped retail investors outperform Wall Street... [4:55] Turning to cryptos… Frank gives his take on rumors of more government regulation… and why the “central banking cartel” is attacking crypto and gold. [7:36] Frank is executive chairman and interim CEO of Hive Blockchain, a crypto mining company. He explains why the company is a perfect fit for the environmental, social, and governance (ESG) movement. [11:32] He also shares why, despite government resistance, he believes cryptos are here to stay. [17:41] It’s a perfect environment for higher gold and silver prices. Central banks are printing endless amounts of paper money... inflation continues to rise… and silver is needed to satisfy clean energy demand. Frank explains how shady players can manipulate gold and silver prices… and what gold producers should do to boost their share prices. [19:47] Finally, Frank shares one country he’s bullish on that may surprise you… and a fund that offers an easy way to gain exposure. [25:40] Enjoyed this episode?

This week, we’re doing things a little differently. Today’s episode covers Daniel’s and my take on the top news… The regular weekly interview segment (featuring the legendary Frank Holmes) will air tomorrow. Let’s get to it... You undoubtedly know by now about the collapse of Chinese property juggernaut Evergrande. Daniel and I debate whether now is a good time to gain exposure to China. [1:23]  Will we see an infrastructure bill this year? Daniel explains why it would make more sense (politically) for Democrats to wait until next year… While I think they’ll want to pass it right away. But regardless of when it happens… I explain why you should be prepared to sell a lot of your stocks when the bill does pass. [12:21] FedEx missed earnings expectations and announced massive price increases… [16:53] Cracker Barrel also missed earnings, and warned about higher commodity and wage costs… [25:14] Finally, Disney warned investors about slowing growth… causing a hit to the stock. [28:17] Is it a good time to buy any of these companies? Daniel and I share our thoughts on each. Enjoyed this episode?

What a wild week so far—and it’s only Tuesday… Yesterday, we saw stocks drop 2%, leading the way for everything else—gold, bitcoin, you name it—to sell off as well. [0:34] You’ve probably heard by now that Evergrande—a Chinese real estate company and one of the biggest property developers in the world—is crumbling… But this shouldn’t be surprising: Recent events have foreshadowed the juggernaut’s demise. The bigger question on everyone’s mind: Will this pose a systemic risk to the world economy? [2:24] Meanwhile, the volatility caused by Evergrande has brought the bears out of hiding... Now they’re roaring about further downside risk. [10:39] Some are even comparing Evergrande to the financial crisis of 2008-2009… I give my take on this comparison… how I believe the Chinese government will choose to handle the situation… and what the biggest risk to the market is (hint: it’s not Evergrande). [17:40] As the situation plays out, I explain why I’m not selling Chinese stocks… In fact, I’m looking to add exposure to China on this pullback. [23:15] Finally, I point out the biggest risk to the crypto space... [31:31] Enjoyed this episode?

I just returned from a quick business trip to Texas, where I had the opportunity to meet several elites… from the state governor to well-known billionaires. I share details of the great trip… and explain the power of a massive network. [0:30] Vaccine mandates continue to dominate headlines. Daniel and I discuss the various impacts of possible mandatory vaccines for air travel. [9:15] China—which has caused volatility across industries in recent months—is now taking aim at the casino sector. We discuss why uncertainty is terrible for investors… and debate whether it’s time to build some exposure to China. [19:00] With uranium prices continuing to surge, our interview with Amir Adnani from a couple of weeks ago couldn’t have come at a better time. I explain why you want exposure to this sector… [26:13] Enjoyed this episode?

I share a couple of sleeper picks to pay attention to... and who I think will win it all. [14:20] You might be surprised to hear that youth club sports weren't hindered by COVID at all…. And this secular growth trend isn’t slowing down anytime soon. I share a few of my favorite ways to invest alongside it… and the one risk I see for these investments.

Football season is here... and I'm looking forward to fantasy football. Daniel and I discuss the massive amounts of gambling that will take place this football season.

Prepare for a rant on why the SEC’s lawsuit is beyond frustrating… But it could ultimately be bullish for the crypto industry. [4:50] The semiconductor industry continues to suffer from supply strains. I take a small victory lap as automakers finally admit the chip shortage will last much longer than they initially thought. [25:15] And finally, anytime we talk about COVID, we’re going to ruffle some feathers. But investors are getting comfortable with the fact that COVID is here forever.

Big news: I’m getting my vaccine shot.  I dig into the controversial topic of vaccines on today’s show… and explain why COVID isn’t going away… ever.

Many experts say the housing market is in a bubble that’s about to burst. But this is B.S. My research tells me there’s a lot more growth ahead for housing.

[12:50] Then, Frank Holmes, CEO and chief investment officer at U.S. Global Investors, explains why young investors prefer bitcoin over gold… and why this trend could last for a very long time. Other topics we discuss include: Hive Technologies (Holmes is a chairman) and its record quarter mining cryptos… the airline industry and travel-related stocks… and why one of Holmes’ ETFs is set to benefit as the economy reopens. [35:10] Then, Daniel and I examine why analysts are raising earnings estimates, and the effect this could have on stock prices. And we debate the ethics of a new ETF that uses artificial intelligence to scan social media. [1:11:25]     Enjoyed this episode?
