Wall Street Unplugged - What's Really Moving These Markets

Hello and welcome back to another episode of Wall Street Unplugged! Today I'm joined by longtime friend - Marin Katusa, CEO & founder of Katusa Research. For any new listeners out there, I often bring Marin on the show as he is, hands-down, the most connected person in the mining industry. To start off the interview, Marin discusses the current states of gold, uranium and other resource sectors. As every investor should know, the dollar almost always moves inversely with the price of gold. For this reason, gold investments are used as a "safe haven" for investors around the globe. When markets become volatile and fears arise, gold is usually your best hedge. In the event of market downturns, gold prices surge... limiting your losses. Again... the dollar/gold inverse relationship has been the common rule of thumb for as long as I can remember... Marin claims, however, that 2017 will be a break for this historical pattern. And gives us a closer look as to why... Switching gears, we then talk about the geopolitical environment of one of the biggest trends today - Uranium. Through this analysis, Marin explains a huge angle of the Russia/ Trump story that nobody else is talking about... As a result, he shares with us one of the biggest secrets behind investing in Uranium this year. And tells listeners exactly where to avoid all Uranium investments. Then, the big announcement... Marin introduces listeners to another private placement opportunity. Listen up as this is your chance to invest with some of the greatest investors in the world. Marin will break down all the details. And give listeners everything they need to know about his next long-term commitment.

Welcome back to another episode of Frankly Speaking! Keep the questions coming! The first topic of the day covers the inevitable... A recession. The business economy is one big cycle. Historically speaking, the markets expand, contract, and recover... over and over again. Where do we stand today? Well, theres been a lot of positives to takeaway from the markets recently... Let's take a closer look... Earnings are growing by 8% thus far for nearly 70% of S&P 500 companies... Wages are growing at the highest rate since 2009... And now, due to the Trump administration - we're looking at new regulations and a massive tax reform in the near future. Trump, so far, has sent shockwaves throughout the market but the dollar continues to strengthen. As I explain in the show, the possibility of a near economic down cycle is slim - and way further out than I initially expected. But let's get back to the point... a recession is inevitable. As investors, we want to stay aware of where the markets are heading. And although you don't need to worry about another crisis anytime soon, you always want to be prepared. So tune in as I tell listeners which stocks you need to own - during a recession, and while the market is falling. Then, after a slew of earnings releases this week, there's a few companies I wanted to go over... The first company I break down is Facebook (FB) - what I now like to call the "the greatest company in the world." The social media giant just reported outstanding quarterly earnings by completely blowing estimates out of the water. CEO Mark Zuckerberg is like the Bill Gates of the 90's. Throughout my 20 years of financial research, I've never seen a company grow and dominate as quickly as Facebook has. Although we may see a slight pull back in the stock price in the coming weeks... I explain why the sky is the limit for this company. Chipotle (CMG), the other company I talk about on today's show, experienced just the opposite as fas earnings go... The company reported a 76% decrease in profits compared to this quarter a year ago. Since the release, the stock price is down nearly 20 points! As investors, this might just be the drop we've been waiting for. Also, there's something I wanted to ask you (my subscribers)... We need your help. Before I sign off today and to end the episode, learn how you can contribute to my new blog. Special thanks to David, Reuben, Rusty, Joe, Jack, and Rex... Other stocks mentioned: McEwen Mining (MUX), BlackBird Energy (BBI.V), Northern Dynasty (NAK), Gold Miners ETF (GDX), Amazon (AMZN), Schlumberger (SLB), Encana (ECA), GoPro (GPRO), FitBit (FIT), International Business Machines (IBM), Post Holdings (POST), Boeing (BA).

Welcome back to another episode of Wall Street Unplugged! I begin today's episode by covering one of the most talked about companies on Wall Street - Apple. Their earnings were just released, beating expectations across the board. And since the news, analysts' reactions have been overwhelmingly bullish. But I can't say I agree… And I'm not so sure about Apple's quarter being "dynamic" either. After doing some of my own digging, I've realized there are some underlying truths about Apple's 2016 end results... catalysts' that no one else cares to mention. Year-over-year, earnings have only grown 2% - mostly influenced by buybacks and a favorable tax rate. Yes, they blew expectations out of the water. But how much were earnings estimates lowered? Thus far, I've had a pretty good track record on covering this tech giant... and considering all of the noise surrounding this story - I have to warn my listeners. So, before my guest signs on, I'll be explaining why I'm not buying into all of the hype. Then, for today's main segment… I'll be introducing listeners to a stock that should 100% - be on everyone's radar. The following company has the potential to become the next "market dominator." And shares are still selling for under $1. That's why I brought on today's guest, Garth Braun - President and CEO of Blackbird Energy (BBI.V). Garth's Blackbird Energy was by far, in my opinion, the most impressive company at last week's Vancouver Resource Investment Conference - which hosted over 200 names in the sector. Garth has done the unthinkable. And I was sold in less than 5 minutes of talking to him… Garth has taken Blackbird from a small, speculative explorer - to a $300 Million dollar company. And unlike most junior's in the sector, they don't just have a stake in the ground... waiting for a price-tag or an industry-leader acquisition... They are actually drilling and producing some of the finest natural-gas condensate in the world - located smack in the middle of the Montney Formation - Canada's next big energy bet. "Over the last 18 months, some of the largest transactions in Canada, outside of the oil sands, have been located in this region." Industry leaders like Encana, Apache, Shell, and Sinopec now have holdings practically located in Blackbird's backyard. To make matters better, Garth was one of the first to discover this liquid-rich area. In 2014, he says, people considered this land as "moose pasture." But it doesn't stop there… Due to the low priced oil market, Garth's team has been determined to innovate. And as a result, Blackbird Energy has made significant advancements. They've cut costs "dramatically" with state of the art technology. And experts are calling their innovations "disruptive." Garth has clearly lead his company through an amazing transformation. Although the stock price is currently resting at 52-week highs, the recent jump has been well deserved. This is not meant to be a promotion. I truly believe this company has more upside potential than any other stock priced below $1. However, as we all know, rewards will come with risks. Stocks that are priced this low can still be very volatile - especially in the oil industry. So I'm urging all listeners to do their own research. Still, Blackbird's story is one you don't want to miss. And finally, for today's Educational Segment, we're throwing stocks, finance, and economics out the door. I will be making one of boldest bets all year.

Welcome back to another episode… To start off today's stream of questions, I explain to listeners one of the biggest misconceptions in investing. The key to investing in any stock (not just the ones I recommend) comes down to just one simple trick - patience. Many listeners have learned the hard way so I wanted to fully address this once and for all. Its extremely important that investors take their time on placing their bets. Meaning, if you do believe in a stock's long-term position, don't make a FULL investment all on the same day. Tune in as I explain how this strategy is one of the best ways to avoid volatility in the markets. I guarantee your returns will see better results. I then revisit my position on a stock that's been beaten down tremendously. This stock was considered "the darling" of the biotech industry a little over a year ago. It went from being loved by analysts across the board, to now - hated. I'll be explaining why this biotech pioneer has the potential to rebound over the next 12 to 18 months. Moving on to the next question, I talk about one of today's biggest trends - Marijuana. David, a Colorado local, says the marijuana industry is booming and asks if now is the perfect time to invest... I couldn't disagree anymore. If you own any marijuana stocks, be sure to listen as I break down the sector. Although we've seen a recent run-up in stock prices, I believe the industry will continue to face huge headwinds. These stocks are simply trades… NOT investments. And finally, to end the episode, it's Nike (NKE) vs. Under Armour (UA). Tune in as I pick my favorite out of the two for 2017. Other topics include: A sneak peek for next week's Wall Street Unplugged with CEO of BlackBird Energy, KKR's future earnings, and whether it's too late to get in on Northern Dynasty (NAK). Special thanks to Roland, Brandon, Matt, David, Dave, Nate, and Steve. Keep the questions coming!

Welcome back to another episode of Wall Street Unplugged! It's only January, but if you've followed me for the past few weeks, you've come to realize how important this month really is. I covered one key conference (CES2017) a couple weeks ago. And on today's episode, I have two more coming for you. It's a lot of information in only just a few weeks but bare with me... Each of these conferences come with game-changing announcements. To start, let's go over what a difference a year makes... Donald Trump is now in office, and the bull market continues to get stronger. In fact, the Dow Jones Industrial Average hit over 20,000 for the first time this week! This "Trump rally" has been strong for investors in every sector… except for one - Biotech. That's why I invited Marc… Marc is Chief Income Strategist at the Oxford Club, Editor of the Oxford Income Letter and host of the Oxford Club Radio podcast. He just got back from the JPMorgan Healthcare Conference. For those not familiar, the JPMorgan Healthcare Conference its like the Superbowl for healthcare, biotech, and pharmaceuticals. To start off the interview, Marc gives us his takeaways from the event. As Marc explains, the biotech sector has recently been facing a ton of headwinds. The sector currently faces a slew of new regulations as new administration takes the reigns. And in return, the biotech sector got a bit more complex. Although times are rough today, Marc breaks down his opportunistic outlook for the sector going forward. Investors must be patient as we are still in the "early innings" of biotech treatment Marc says. However, he adds that the demand for this sector will explode relatively soon. Together, we then break down the trends and stocks that are going to have the highest impact on the sector. These trends include big data and DNA sequencing. Also, before Marc signs off, he shares with us his favorite growth & income stock outside of the biotech sector. Then, for today's Educational Segment [39:31], I break down my visit to the Vancouver Resource Investment Conference - the largest junior mining conference in the world. The host and close friend, Marin Katusa, invited me to speak at the event. This is where it gets interesting… Out of the 5,000 people at this conference, not one person seemed to be bearish on the resource sector. What does that mean? ...It means I'm nervous. Let's not forget... Only 1 in 3,000 projects go from early stage development to actual production. To make matters worse, some of these stocks are already up 100%-300% from their lows yet people are still doubling their positions! But it's not all bad news. Although about 90% of these companies are terrible long-term investments, a few CEO's I met with were far from bluffing. Tune in as I introduce listeners to the few stocks that caught my attention. One is a stock that could potentially be the next Northern Dynasty!

Welcome back to another episode of Frankly Speaking. Today's stream of questions start with one concerning a stock I recommended over a year ago - Consolidated-Tomoka Land Co (CTO). Odds are - you've never heard of this company. The business is boring. And you won't find much news on it. But I've seen this company grow firsthand - practically in my own backyard. One year later, I still see upside potential. Tune in as I break down the details... Also, my newsletter, Curzio Venture Opportunities, is approaching just its fourth month since launching in November. And it's been a wild ride ever since. However, I've been recently getting tons of questions on how to access the newsletter. Well, for those interested, I'll be giving away everything you need to know on how to join. But I'll warn you... Not everyone is qualified. And if the price is too high, please, don't worry. I might of spoke too much already. But today I announce that we have something else in the works... My next question covers today's main segment [17:16]. Since the Trump election, we've spent a lot of time focusing on a variety of small-caps. But there are stocks we simply cannot forget, regardless of new policies... Most of these companies have been around for decades. Whether the market is up or down, these management teams have been through it all. I can guarantee it. More importantly, markets are cyclical. Which means plenty of well-known, safe stocks are still out there - just weeks away from rebounding. Today I share a few names I have in mind. Other questions covered include; Northern Dynasty's (NAK) recent capital raise, the CES, and my formula for investing dangerous small-cap biotechs. Special thanks to Michael, Joel, Brian, Paul, and Greg. Keep the questions coming!

Welcome back to another episode of Wall Street Unplugged! This week I'm joined by Amir Adnani – CEO of Uranium Energy Corp. & GoldMining Inc. (formerly known as Brazil Resources) On today's show, Amir and I dive into one of the biggest topics in the markets right now – Uranium. If you own any Uranium stocks, or you're thinking about buying, this is a must-listen. Because for the first time in years, a new dawn for nuclear power is finally approaching. To start off the interview, Amir gives listeners 3 reasons why the "perfect storm" is on its way. We've already seen a swing in prices and Uranium is trading at levels not seen since 2004. But let's not get too ahead of ourselves. Amir explains why investors must be patient. If you haven't bought into Uranium yet, don't worry. Although all signs are pointing upward, he say's companies are still in "no man's land" – with current Uranium prices sitting at just $22/lb. The point is, however, the Uranium market is finally coming off it's lows. And we don't expect prices to return anytime soon. The turnaround is real. And demand expectations are promising… After all, the number of reactors under construction world-wide are at record levels! Tune in to hear everything you need to know about the sector. Amir and I then dive into a stock listeners should be very familiar with – GoldMining (BRI.V). Yes, we've seen Gold take an unexpected hit since the Presidential election… but that doesn't mean investors should run. To end the episode, Amir reassures his investors. He explains how his company, GoldMining, plans to keep building on top of an already strong, overlooked balance sheet. And finally, I move on to my educational segment [54:33]. Sector by sector, I'll be breaking down this upcoming earnings season. Let's just say this – Don't be fooled by analyst estimates, they're outrageous…

Welcome back to another episode of Frankly Speaking! With all the noise surrounding the internet these days, it's difficult to find a good financial research platform. And as some listeners have noticed, Yahoo Finance is not what it was 5 years ago. To start off today's episode, I give listeners a list of my favorite online financial sites... Sites I generally use for my own research. Some come with a cost and some are free, however, each of these sites have their own strength. Remember, this podcast is about you, not me. I highly recommend you check them out. Then, my next question covers a stock I am getting tons of feedback on - KKR & Co. LP (KKR). I recommended this stock just two weeks ago on my educational segment. And since then, it appears many subscribers are hesitant or concerned. Today, I'll be jumping back into the numbers - and will explain why there's still massive upside potential. Also... I can't win them all. A couple months ago I made a mistake. I recommended a retailer just as the holiday season was picking up. And since then, the brick & mortar sector has been crushed. I'll admit my losses. However, I still believe this particular company is in way better shape than its competitors. Although I'm expecting a little more "pain" in the short-term, I still love their long-term position. Switching gears, I then dive into the uranium sector. Prices have finally reached over $20/lb. In fact, uranium is trading at prices not seen since 2004. What does this mean going forward? To end the episode, I revisit a few more stocks on my radar. This includes Delta Airlines (DAL), Amazon (AMZN), and Northern Dynasty (NAK). Special thanks to Kurt, Scott, Christopher, Kris, Daniel, and John. Other stocks mentioned: Cameco (CCJ), Uranium Energy Corp (UEC), Skyharbour Resources (SYH.V), Uranium Resources (URRE), Stratasys (SSYS) Good Investing, Frank Curzio

Welcome back to another episode of Wall Street Unplugged! I just got back from the 2017 Consumer Electronic Show... and we have a lot of ground to cover. To start off today's episode, I give listeners my take on the event. This year's experience was a bit different. In fact, there are more trends to avoid rather than trends to invest in. Tune in this week as I'll be separating the truth from all the noise. I'm then joined by the one and only, Marin Katusa - founder of Katusa Research. There's been a lot of tech-talk recently, but let's not get caught up in just one sector. With the annual Vancouver Resource Investment Conference just two weeks away, Marin is here to give listeners a sneak-peek. Also, he catches us up to date within the gold, silver, and uranium markets. Even with the dollar strengthening, we've seen a slight rebound in these sectors. What does this mean going forward? Well, let us hear from the best as Marin shares his 2017 outlook. Then, to end the episode, Marin talks about his most successful discovery last year. He claims it as the "world's largest undeveloped copper & gold mine." Its the stuff of legends... And thanks to Marin, I gave listeners a stock that has grown over 300% since recommending it - just 6 months ago! As you'll hear, this stock is dirt-cheap yet still holds massive growth potential.

Welcome back to another episode of Frankly Speaking! Today's first question covers stop-loss orders - an investment tool I will always strongly recommend. At times investments fall out-of-favor... and we are forced to sell. It happens to everyone. But what should investors look for when they want to re-enter? Then, after giving listeners a quick update on the uranium company - Cameco (CCJ)... I explain why dividend-cuts are not always necessarily a bad sign for shareholders. Switching gears, I then share some tips for listeners who are new to the world of investing. If you plan on being a "day-trader," this is a must listen. And finally, to end the episode, I break-down another "buy" recommendation. And why investors should act now - before the storm. Special thanks to Kevin, Daniel, Thomas, Mike, and John. Keep the questions coming! Other stocks mentioned: GoldMining (BRI.V), Sandstorm Gold (SAND), Kinder Morgan (KMI), KKR & Co L.P. (KKR), Delta Airlines (DAL), and International Business Machines (IBM) Also, don't forget to tune-in next week! I'll be recapping everything I learned from the 2017 Consumer Electronic Show. Talk to you then and good investing! Frank Curzio

Welcome back to another episode of Wall Street Unplugged! Today's guest is Steve Koomar - former derivative trader at Goldman Sachs and editor of the Vigilante Investor newsletter. He called it... Last time Steve was on the show, he explained why fears of a U.S. economic collapse were completely overblown. In addition, he told listeners that the natural gas sector was a sure bet. Here we are 5 months later... Natural gas has surged and the US stock market is sitting near all-time highs. Whenever Steve talks, I listen. And every time he gets on the show I learn something new. On today's episode, Steve starts off by giving listeners his updated economic outlook. He believes short-term market expectations are "unrealistic." However, he is still incredibly bullish on U.S. investments in the long-run. Steve also revisits his positions in natural gas, uranium, and farmland. And then shares his top picks within these sectors. These are safe and diversified investments that define his balanced approach. Then, on my educational segment, I'll be talking about one of the most overlooked stocks today. A lot has changed within the company in the past couple years. And today - I'm giving listeners a full break-down. Not only does this stock have huge growth potential, it has a single-digit P/E ratio, a 4% yield, and is dirt cheap. So don't sign off when Steve leaves us. To end the episode, I tell listeners my favorite growth and income stock for the new year. This is a strong buy... PS - It's finally here... Right now I am at the 2017 Consumer Electronic Show in Las Vegas. I've been posting live updates on my Twitter & Facebook accounts. Don't miss a beat.

Welcome back to another episode of Frankly Speaking! Today's show opens up with talks about the transportation and logistics markets. The numbers show Amazon (AMZN) is now a logistics titan - with still plenty of room for growth. Tune in to hear what this means for competitors like FedEx (FDX) and UPS (UPS). I then touch base on Apple's (AAPL) political landscape. Let me tell you - "What they say and what they do are two totally different things." Today's show covers Apple's only risk investors need to be aware of. In addition, I break down the top 3 financial stories from 2016. Each story comes with a lesson we must carryover into the new year. This includes lessons from consumer sentiment, the Trump election, and today's volatility. To end the episode, I tell listeners why 2017 should be a turnaround year for Uranium. This is one of my favorite plays for the new year. Also, can Northern Dynasty (NAK) get any higher? Special thanks to Tom, John, Derek, and Brad. 2016 has been one for the books. Thanks for tuning in and for all the great questions. Keep them coming! I read them all. Other stocks mentioned: AT&T (T), General Electric (GE), JPMorgan Chase (JPM), McDonalds (MCD), Wal-Mart (WMT), Nike (NKE), Kinder Morgan (KMI), IBM (IBM), Teva Pharmaceuticals (TEVA), and Chipotle (CMG). PS - Be sure to follow me next week on Twitter. As mentioned, I have media access to the 2017 CES. Don't miss a beat. See you next year!

Happy Holidays and welcome back to another episode of Wall Street Unplugged! You don't have to be tech savvy to understand my next bet… And with the 2017 Consumer Electronics Show just around the corner, I couldn't have timed this podcast any better. In fact, this is the rant I've been waiting for… Every January the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) presents the world with the latest and greatest tech trends. It's considered the largest consumer expo in the world. And for good reason… The CES is the host of nearly 4,000 technology companies… The space covers 2.2M square feet… And it takes me about half the day to walk through the entire event. From an investor stand point – this is the opportunity to witness these trends on the launch pad, firsthand. And investing in the right stocks within these megatrends can result in massive gains. But here's the thing. The trick to investing in this sector is all about knowing which trends to avoid… There's one vital question we all must ask ourselves before we place our bets. "Do these tech-trends actually serve a consumer need?" If consumer adaptability is far out of reach. And if earnings are already dropping – As investors, why aren't we looking elsewhere? To start off today's episode, I'll be diving in on 3 tech trends every investor must avoid. I have the numbers to back it up. Then, tune in to hear the ideas I actually do believe in. These new technologies are already implemented by the biggest names in the industry. Listeners will hear examples of each trend and how they can directly impact the consumer. Get your pens ready. To end the episode, I'll be sharing the best plays in the sector – A list of stocks that have already secured their seat for the future.

Keep the questions coming! To start off today's podcast, I touch base on GoldMining Inc. (BRI.V), formerly known as Brazil Resources. Although the stock has seen a recent drop in price, I tell listeners that we must respect the trend. As a junior minor stock, this is typical... and I'm not too worried. Listen in as I explain why the numbers behind GoldMining are still favorable. I assure you, the sell-off has nothing to do with the individual stock. Special thanks to Steven, Bruce, Pete, and Jerry

Welcome back to another episode of Wall Street Unplugged! The 2017 Consumer Electronics show is finally just two weeks away. If you are not familiar, this is an event that sets the tone for the entire tech-sector... An event where the world's most innovative technology meets the consumer... And an event that investors cannot miss. Before today's guest signs on, I'll be giving listeners an exclusive sneak-peek. The announcements of these "exponential growth technologies" create once-in-a-lifetime opportunities. Which means, as investors, we must catch on to these trends early - before they disrupt the markets. Tune in as I name a few trends I expect to see in every household within the next three to five years. Then, for today's main segment, I'm joined by longtime friend, Meb Faber - best selling author, entrepreneur, and Chief Investment Officer/ Portfolio Manager at Cambria Investment Management. The dollar is surging, the market continues to hit all-time highs, and we've seen one of the longest lasting bull markets in decades... Meb is a numbers guy. A research junkie. His evaluation methodologies are far from the norm... He calls it the Shiller CAPE ratio. Not only does he claim future expected returns are going to be lowered, he has the numbers to prove it. The markets are getting more expensive. And as a result, the chances of finding "cheap uptrends" are getting slimmer. As Meb explains, investors need to take a step back... "Every investor should have at least half of their stocks outside the US" he says. Using the CAPE ratio, Meb has managed to find a couple markets that have the "cheap upside" investors are looking for. Tune in to hear what they are... Then, to sum up the episode, Meb gives listeners his 3 steps to the ideal, global market portfolio. The time is now... we must start looking for alternatives

Welcome back to another episode of Frankly Speaking! Special thanks to Brain, Jeff, Kenny, Craig, and Steve for all the great questions. On today's show, I open up by breaking down the small-cap biotech sector. Jeff provides listeners with a perfect example of a biotech stock fighting for FDA approval. I've seen this happen too many times... From the pre-clinical stages... all the way through the approval process... these companies undertake extreme volatility. Step-by-step, I explain the lengthy process every small-cap biotech company must endure. In addition, I tell listeners exactly when it's the best time to place their bets on these types of investments. Then, after revisiting my position on Northern Dynasty (NAK), I dive into a very important lesson... Stop-loss orders. This is an investment tool every investor must use in order to prevent large portfolio deficits. I often warn investors to not "show their hand"... Tune in to hear what I mean. Finally, to end the episode, I dive into another sector that has just about topped-out. With interest rates going higher, I tell listeners why I'm avoiding this market going forward. Other stocks mentioned include: Pfizer (PFE), Merck (MRK), Amgen (AMGN), & TherapeuticsMD (TXMD) Thanks for listening, Frank Curzio

Welcome back to another episode of Wall Street Unplugged. This week I'm joined by John Petrides – Managing Director and Portfolio Manager at Point View Wealth Management. On today's episode, John and I look back at the major headlines from 2016. So much has happened… and as a result, we've witnessed one of the most volatile years in stock market history. John provides listeners with a step-by-step market review – leading us all the way to today's rally. Oil prices hit 10-year lows… gold had its best 1st quarter in 30 years… "macro" events like Brexit, and the Election – all have had their place in this years economic roller-coaster. As investors, there are many lessons we must carry-over into the new year. Tune in to hear why John and I are approaching 2017 much differently than last year. Also, It's about time… The Fed finally raised interest rates – squeezing in one hike in a year that was supposed to have four. What now? As John says, the biggest question lies behind the "language" of the Fed going forward. He explains why investors need to be cautious if interest rates rise faster than expected. Switching gears, John shares with us the biggest post-election headwind for several S&P 500 companies. A tax reform is on it's way… but that does not mean these stocks are off the hook. This is why I love bringing John on the show. He can give listeners insight on just about any topic. To end the episode, John gets on a roll – giving his outlook on a wealth of sectors. This includes one sector that has been completely overblown… And another that hasn't traded this cheap since 2009.

Keep the questions coming! Welcome back to another episode of Frankly Speaking. Special thanks to David, Allen, James, Bruce, and Mark. To start off the episode, I tell listeners why I'm still bullish on Sandstorm Gold (SAND). Although the price of gold continues to fall, I don't think CEO Nolan Watson is too concerned. Tune in to hear why I think the stock could still double in the next three to six months. I'll also be revisiting my outlook on the Uranium markets. Uranium is at all-time lows, however, our new President may be the catalyst we've been waiting for. I'll be explaining the safest Uranium play going forward. Then, later in the episode, I'll be comparing some popular investment strategies. This includes individual stocks, ETF's, and mutual funds. Also, I give listeners updates on a couple stocks I like - AT&T (T), and Delta (DAL). Other stocks mentioned include: Pioneer Energy (PES), General Electric (GE), Uranium Resources (URRE), & Cameco (CCJ).

Welcome back to another episode of Wall Street Unplugged! Stocks have gone on to hit new all-time highs... but my guest, Richard Suttmeier, and I are a bit nervous. If you don't know Richard, he is often seen on Forbes and TheStreet.com. He is the Founder & CEO of Global Market Consultants. To start off the interview, Richard warns any investors chasing the recent Trump rally. Although certain sectors remain "tradable" - Richard explains why most are not long-term investments. Tune in and discover the ugly truth about this upcoming year. And why investors should take their profits now... before it's too late. Richard then takes us a step further. He breaks down what he calls the "balance sheet of the US economy." His latest victim? US banks. Aside from the too big to fail problems, Richard shares with us the various risks banks are still exposed to. Then, on my Educational Segment [40:01], I'll be teaching listeners my most important lesson about the markets - Investor Sentiment. Considering today's economic environment, I couldn't have timed this any better. I'm afraid of a massive stock market correction. Here's how to stay one step ahead.

Welcome back to another episode of Frankly Speaking! Black Friday is over and the numbers are pouring in. After receiving tons of questions and comments concerning this years holiday season shopping trends - I give listeners my take on the biggest winner thus far. Not all retailers are doing well. For this company however, I'm seeing a lot of tailwinds. More importantly, its cheap! Also, tune in to hear my analysis on one of the best companies in the world - Amazon. Only so often do you find an industry leader like Amazon with still plenty of room for growth. It's simple. They know what they're doing. Other stocks mentioned include: Lucas Energy (LEI), Nike (NKE), Best Buy (BBY), and Uranium Resources (URRE). Again, Thanks for all the great questions. Keep them coming at [email protected]. I read them all. Good Investing!

Welcome back to another episode of Wall Street Unplugged! Today's guest is Kim Iskyan - global investment expert and founder of TrueWealth Publishing. Kim is the definition of a world traveler. His boots-on-the-ground approach is unique. He's visited over 100 countries and has experience working on several stock exchanges. His new focus? Asia. Kim does not only provide listeners with information - he delivers insight. Most investors are afraid to invest in oversea markets... Debt levels are increasing, real-estate bubbles are looming, and thanks to Trump, trade barriers are now strengthening. But more importantly, investors rarely hear the real story behind these markets - until now. And as Kim highlights, there is still plenty of room for growth. Tune in as Kim shows us how the individual investor can conquer the emerging markets - safely. These are opportunities you won't hear anywhere else. Also, don't miss out on this week's Educational Segment. Several sectors are poised for big changes due to the upcoming tax reform. But enough with the general "macro" economic outlooks. Instead, I'll be telling you what this means for several individual companies. Write these stocks down. I'm expecting HUGE gains.

Happy Thanksgiving! Welcome back to another episode of Wall Street Unplugged. On today's episode I'm joined by good friend, Andrew Horowitz – Founder and CEO of Horowitz and Company. The anticipation of new policies are causing massive market swings – but how long will this trend last? To start off the episode, Andrew highlights several grossly, over-anticipated sectors. As the market is coming off record highs, Andrew explains why our portfolios are at even greater risk. Recent trends are far from the truth. Tune in as Andrew and I discuss what an inevitable high interest rate environment means for certain sectors going forward. Andrew then shows listeners how to take advantage of the crazy market jumps we are witnessing today. These are aggressive, short-term trading positions that could potentially move 100% to 200% within the next few weeks. And finally, let the holiday shopping begin! As online-shopping trends continue to grow, Andrew breaks down which big-box retailers to avoid this season.

Welcome back to another episode of Wall Street Unplugged! Listeners, your portfolio may be in danger. The chances of rate hikes are getting significantly stronger - but will this actually help our economy? Before my guest signs on, I'll be giving investors my thoughts on the next "black swan" event. You heard it here first. Then, for today's show, I'm joined by Jordan Trimble - President and CEO of Skyharbour Resources. Jordan and I talk about one sector that will soon face huge tailwinds now that Trump is president. Due to depressed prices, however, investors must be patient. Nobody (including industry leaders) can even make profits right now. But as Jordan explains, this sector is poised for a HUGE turnaround in 2017 - leaving investors with an extremely rare opportunity. Also, I just got back from the 2016 Silver & Gold Summit in San Francisco - where I spoke and met with some of the world's top precious metals investors and entrepreneurs. For those that couldn't attend... I'm here to bring you everything you missed for this week's Educational Segment [50:20]. This includes a few companies that should be on everyone's radar. As well as a sector that flat-out has too much hype.

Who saw this coming? Welcome back to another episode of Wall Street Unplugged. As all of you know, the one and only Donald Trump will become our next President. Our economic environment has radically changed overnight - and I'm here to break-down what this means for every sector going forward. I'll try my best to avoid anymore political discussion. Instead, on today's segment, we'll be talking about whats important - your portfolio. My guest this week is Nick Hodge - founder and President of the Outsider Club, and investment director of Early Advantage. One thing is clear... the resource bear market is coming to a close. And as Nick explains, opportunities are arising "across-the-board." Nick shares with us his strategy of buying some of the highest-yielding resources at dirt cheap prices. To end the episode, Nick gives listeners his favorite stock ideas. This includes four buy-recommendations every resource stock investor needs to be aware of.

Today I'm joined by the No. 1 credit strategist in the world, Michael Lewitt. Michael is the editor of the Money Map Press investment advisory, Zenith Trading Circle.

With the election just one week away, Michael explains how the market has been in a completely "un-parallel" universe... breaking down why investors have been fooling themselves this whole time. Then, giving us numbers no one else is talking about, Michael dives into the policies surrounding corporate America. This is capitalism upside-down. Michael shows us how companies are disguising investors everyday. Tune-in as he names a few over-looked sectors facing dangerous headwinds going forward. You see, Michael is not your average analyst. He is a best-selling author and has decades of experience focusing on the economy's unstable environment. His multi-dimensional strategy gives investors insights you simply don't hear on mainstream media. To end the episode, Michael gives us details on his own unique investing model. Step-by-step, he unfolds his strategy behind discovering the next bankrupt company.

Welcome back to another episode of Wall Street Unplugged! On today's interview I bring back the most connected expert in the mining industry – founder of Katusa Research, Marin Katusa. Before Marin joins us, however, the episode begins with this week's Educational Segment. The recent AT&T-Time Warner deal has the potential to bring the biggest trends in the world under one umbrella. Forget what the all the analysts are saying… as I explain why I'll soon be adding more stock to my current position. Then, stay tuned as I'm joined by resource legend, Marin Katusa. As he puts it, the gold "trend is our friend." After years of setbacks, Marin talks about how major gold producers are finally in position for growth. Switching gears, Marin then dives into the future of alternative energy. He explains how the sector has changed significantly… and what these new technologies mean for investors going forward. To end the interview, Marin and I discuss the evolution of personal finance. Investors don't need typical brokers anymore… or huge investment banks either. Ordinary investors now have opportunities to privately invest with the biggest names in the industry – at the same price. Listen-in as Marin shares his experiences to prove it. Also, after Marin signs off, I give listeners a bit more details on my newsletter [1:00:50]. Mark your calendars… the launch is THIS Saturday! The moment we've all been waiting for is finally here.

Welcome back to another episode of Wall Street Unplugged! Our guest this week is the single best gold-stock analyst I know, John Doody. He is the editor for the now-famous Gold Stock Analyst Newsletter. To start off the interview, John and I talk about gold's biggest misconception. The truth is, we do NOT know what the price of gold will be going forward. However, after recent pullbacks, John reassures investors by giving us the big picture. He explains how one "inevitable" key factor will ultimately drive the price of gold... and that nothing else we hear matters. John's "old-school" mentality is one of a kind. He is a fundamentalist. He tells listeners how to protect their savings, and as you will hear, its not only about gold. Later in the episode, John breaks down his secrets to finding the world's most undervalued mining stocks. His analysis includes the biggest names in the industry, junior miners, and the "least risky" business models to invest in. I don't say this often, but I believe we're on the brink of a once-in-a-decade opportunity.

Welcome back to Wall Street Unplugged! This week's episode is a special one. A lot of ground is covered as I have, not one... but two separate interviews. I am first joined by CEO Greg Smith. Listen in as Greg introduces his company, JDL Gold Corp., and explains how they have the recipe to become next "superstar" in the mining industry. After just their first week of trading, Greg talks about the company's future plans and projects going forward. This is not your typical mining company... and apart from the insiders, not many people have heard of it. However, JDL Gold might have the greatest shareholder base I have ever seen in the industry. Just wait until you hear this list... Our second guest is current managing director & portfolio manager at Point View Wealth Management, John Petrides [40:45]. As we enter earnings season, John and I talk about recent stock evaluations. At one point, John compares today's market to 2008! After six straight quarters of negative earnings growth, John shares his thoughts on these ridiculous consensus expectations. Then, to end the episode, John and I break down a few stock picks. This includes one of the worlds largest tech company, and a retailer that should be on everyone's radar.

Welcome back to another episode of Wall Street Unplugged! Our guest is founder and chairman of Casey Research, Doug Casey. On this episode, Doug starts off by explaining why he believes an "inevitable" economic meltdown is around the corner. As Doug puts it, economic bubbles are forming in every financial market around us... except one. Lets face it, speculative investing is not for everyone. In the interview, however, Doug tells listeners how to follow his footsteps. Doug is the most successful speculative investor I know, so when he talks I listen. Tune in as Doug gives his bold forward looking predictions. You might not agree with everything… but like any risky investment, these are ideas that can give you extraordinary returns. Also, Doug gives us a sneak-peek of his new book Speculator. The story shares everything Doug has ever learned in the mining industry. This is a "must read" for every resource stock investor.

Welcome back! On this episode of Wall Street Unplugged, I'm joined by one of the most brilliant minds in the royalty industry, Nolan Watson. Nolan is the former CFO of Silver Wheaton and current CEO & President of Sandstorm Gold (SAND). Nolan starts off the interview by explaining how he works in one of the most unique, low-risk business models out there. He shows us why one of the worst periods in the resource sector, 2012-2015, has turned into a 'game-changer' for his company. You see, Sandstorm Gold is not a miner. It is a highly profitable royalty and streaming company. Companies like his know how to take advantage of the market in ANY condition, regardless of the price of gold. Listen in as Nolan explains how the company has added over 100 streams and royalties just over the past 24 months! He then reveals Sandstorm's strong position looking forward… an outlook investors don't want to miss.

I'll be showing you the numbers analyst aren't talking about…

Our guest this week is founder and chairman of Brazil Resources, Amir Adnani. As we enter the early stages of a likely precious-metal bull market, few are more prepared than Amir. His company, Brazil Resources, has grown over 400% just this past year. On today's episode, Amir gives us some reassuring factors for this upcoming quarter and explains why investors have yet to miss the boat. Amir shares with us how Brazil Resources has something that 99% of other developmental-gold companies don't have. He then breaks down Brazil Resources recent 'under-the-radar' acquisition which expects to bring a massive 40% asset-base increase. After this, you'll see why Brazil Resources is in a very unique place. We then touch up on two of the most important factors a successful junior mining company can have. In addition, Amir breaks down a possible added benefit for shareholders covering a "hidden" sector at its 10-year-low. Amir then ends the episode telling us his goals for Brazil Resources and how their disciplined, committed approach can pay off investors in a long-term perspective.

Today I have another special interview with longtime friend, Marin Katusa, founder of Katusa Research. Marin starts off this episode by giving us his outlook concerning the gold and silver markets.

He then talks about "smart money" and his experience with warrants and why every accredited investor should be aware of these opportunities. Finally, Marin shares some interesting ideas on what to look forward to in other commodity sectors aside from gold and silver. These are sectors that not everyone will agree with, but potentially have tremendous upside in the near future.

He believes the U.S. economy is "exceptional" and will always be the premier destination for capital due to its "unparallel geographic advantages." Steve then talks about his favorite sectors to invest in right now. They include depressed areas like natural gas, agriculture, and ethanol. He says the fundamentals in these sectors are turning positive and stocks are still dirt cheap. Finally, Steve shares his top stock picks within these sectors. He believes each name has incredible upside over the next 12 to 18 months.
