Wall Street Unplugged - What's Really Moving These Markets

Welcome back to another episode of Frankly Speaking. This week's breakdown is starting with Alibaba (BABA). Originally, the Chinese e-commerce company received loads of skepticism in regards to their deliverability and figures. Basically, analysts didn't believe the financials. But that was two years ago... Recently, the stock has been delivering some solid numbers that you can't ignore. The company is seeing its highest growth in revenues since their IPO... mobile use is stretching past 500 million monthly users... and not mention, Chinese e-commerce is skyrocketing. This company is no longer a momentum play. And to start off today's stream of Q&A's, I explain why. Switching gears, I then turn my focus to General Electric (GE). I completely understand the concerns for the short-term investors... The stock has sold off a bit... Deutsche Bank recently placed a sell rating on the stock... and cash concerns continue to push analysts away. But as I explain, there are still plenty of over-looked, long-term catalysts. Other topics talked about: BlackBird Energy's (BBI.V) recent drilling troubles, and just a little more politics. No personal hard feelings here. My concerns have very much to do with the financial markets. Special thanks to Larry, Howard, Faye, John, and Derek for all the questions.

Welcome to another episode of Wall Street Unplugged. Marin is back! For those unfamiliar, Marin Katusa, the founder of Katusa Research, is probably the most connected guy in the resource industry. As always, he comes on the show to give listeners his insight and full updates in the gold, uranium, and energy industries. Coming from a guy who is usually bullish when it comes to junior miners… Today, Marin is taking a completely different stance. You heard that right. Marin, who focuses 100% of his time on the resource sector, is giving investors a fair warning. "A tsunami of selling is coming to the junior mining sector." And oddly enough, it has nothing to do with the companies themselves. The rising issue for junior miners lies behind a major rebalancing of a popular Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) known as the VanEck Junior Gold Miner (symbol GDXJ). Marin is here to give you all the details of this developing story… and explain why this already weak sector will get even worse. In a matter of weeks, Marin expects these small-cap stocks can plummet as far 25%-50%. However, as Marin explains, this news will lead to a chain reaction that is "music to our ears…" "You want to buy when others are forced to sell," he says. This will be one of those rare market opportunities where investors can buy some of the world's most valuable junior gold companies for pennies on the dollar. Marin and I then talk about the one and only Northern Dynasty (NAK). Marin's been closely studying this stock for over two years now. In fact, he's the one who initially introduced me to it when the stock was at only 40 cents. Now that the long awaited EPA agreement with the company has finally been settled, to end the episode, Marin shares with us NAK's biggest catalyst going forward. Let's not forget: We're talking about the world's largest undeveloped copper and gold mine here. It's just the beginning. Also, don't sign off when Marin leaves… 99% of investors, even Marin, are bearish when it comes to the oil and gas industry. But not me. On this week's Educational Segment, I explain why we should all be aggressively buying in the sector before OPEC comes out with another game-changing announcement. Good Investing, Frank Curzio

Welcome back to another episode of Frankly Speaking. Whenever I'm up on a stock, there always comes a time and place to take my profits off the table... And unlike how we protect ourselves on the downside by the use of stop-loss orders... there is really no set formula when it comes to booking profits. The answer remains in your initial investment thesis. And to start off today's episode, I explain exactly what I mean. Moving on... I then discuss a stock that is now on my radar, only thanks to you - my readers who question-in. When I first looked at the stock, which is currently sitting at 7 cents, I laughed... But it turns out this company makes a very interesting play. It has all the factors I like: The company has key projects under great jurisdictions... they have great investors and parters... and more important, they have an excellent management team in place. In fact, the company's most recent addition to their board of directors has come from one of the most successful publicly traded agriculture companies in the world - Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan (POT). Switching gears, I then break down the oil & gas industry as a whole. OPEC is expected to extend cuts, more production will be coming offline, and investor sentiment continues to remain negative. But that doesn't mean there isn't buying opportunities... And finally, although I might be stepping over my boundaries, to end today's episode, I talk a little bit of politics. Excuse me for my rant... but I just had to say it. Special thanks to Wade, Phil, Dominic, and Jesse. Keep the questions coming! Thanks for tuning it and good investing, Frank Curzio

Welcome back to another episode of Wall Street Unplugged! Today I'm joined by both Amir Adnani - CEO of Uranium Energy Corp (UEC) & Chairman of GoldMining Inc. (GOLD.V). And also, Steve Koomar - former derivative trader at Goldman Sachs and editor of the Vigilante Investor newsletter. That's right, instead of having only one guest join me, today I'll be picking the minds of two. And starting with Amir, as he puts it, "It's time for our quarterly update." In recent months, Gold Mining Inc. has quietly made a few significant acquisitions including one as recent as this morning. Nothing surprising here. Amir and his team continue to add to the thesis they've been focused on all along - buying assets at a fraction of their value. And on today's show, Amir breaks down each of these new entry points. He calls it "creating value with certainty." As the gold sector is in the midst of another unfavorable market downturn, this exactly what investors want to see. Poised for a market rebound, GoldMining is adding ounces in the ground with consolidations that now stretch from Brazil and Columbia to Alaska and Northern Canada. We then turn our focus to Uranium… As many of you know, this is a sector that I continue to pound the table on. The price of Uranium is finally coming off it's 12-years lows… nuclear power plants are being built at a record pace… Japanese reactors are coming online again… and the new US administration is steering further away from renewables. Fundamentally, every piece of the puzzle is coming in place for a market turnaround. But from an individual standpoint, Amir's Uranium Energy Corp. is facing a catalyst much more unique. This is the same catalyst that pushed the stock up hundreds of percent last time it occurred. And there's a "very good chance" it can happen again here within the next couple of weeks. Be sure to tune in before Steve signs on as Amir goes over this potentially game-changing announcement. Moving on, Steve Koomar and I then discuss arguably the most hated industry in the markets today - Oil & Gas. Like myself, Steve thinks as the classic contrarian. And due to developing geopolitical pressures, Steve explains why the oil and gas market may see a huge boost in prices. And finally, to wrap things up, Steve then uncovers his favorite foreign market to invest in. It's a market that has gone up 60% in the past 12 months alone. And for first time in nearly 2 decades, the country's political landscape is shifting towards pro-business initiatives. As Steve explains, there's a "nice-long runway" ahead for this country that's finally beginning to develop its natural resources. You see, everything covered on today's show falls under one clear theme: How to master the resource market's cyclicality. If you plan to invest in any of the natural resources we cover today like gold, oil, and uranium…. this interview is a must listen. Because like any cyclical market, betting on these recommendations early, at these depressed levels can yield life-changing results for those willing to wait. Be sure to get your notepads ready… Good Investing, Frank Curzio

The questions are pouring in on IBM and Northern Dynasty (NAK)… I've been bullish on each of these stocks in recent months. But after this week's news, I have even more reason to add to my case. On today's show we start with IBM... Warren Buffett just announced he sold off one-third of his position in the company, stating he "underestimated how much competition is in the space." And later on said that he has revalued the stock "somewhat downward." It's one of the very few investment choices Warren Buffett has made that hasn't gone exactly as planned. The stock price is down nearly 30% since Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway invested close to $11 Billion back in 2011. And today, as all eyes are still on Buffett, IBM shares have pulled back even further. But as I explain on the show, I'm taking a completely different stance… and explain why there's still plenty of room for IBM to grow at these levels. Let's not forget, this is not a momentum stock trading at insane valuations with no dividend… We're talking a durable company trading at just 12X earnings. And is paying a 4% dividend yield which is more than double of what the average company in the S&P 500 pays. Moving on, I then discuss the recent news surrounding NAK and the infamous EPA. A settlement is expected to take place in less than one week. And from the looks of it, each party seems to be on common grounds. Tune in as I explain why the world's largest undeveloped copper and gold mine should be everyone's radar in the next couple of days. Other topics talked about: Sandstorm Gold's (SAND) recent merger… The current state of oil & gas… and why America needs deregulation before tax and healthcare reforms.

Welcome back to another episode of Wall Street Unplugged! Today I'm breaking all the rules… Just last week I talked about the benefits of compounding wealth… how long-term value investing is the safest, and smartest strategy for anyone betting in the markets. Even my new newsletter, Curzio Research Advisory, has stock recommendations based off favorable trends for the next 5, 10 years, and beyond… Today's guest however is someone that takes a completely different angle… His name is Tim Sykes. Everyone has their own strengths. For example, Chris Mayer is a legend at picking international stocks. My other frequent guest, Marin Katusa, is a resource stock sniper. I personally have a knack for picking junior miners and small-cap biotech stocks. And then there's Tim... Tim is a financial activist, educator, and is most famously known for his success at day trading penny stocks. He focuses on, no doubt, the most speculative and riskiest investments in the market today… yet has found massive success doing it. He's the only penny stock expert I know. And on today's show, he's giving away all of his secrets. And shows listeners exactly how he takes advantage of the market's hidden inefficiencies. Now before we get into the technicals, I'll start with the easy stuff… Penny stocks are far from normal stocks. Some are not even listed on major exchanges… New investors often see these stocks with low prices and think they're bargains. But what they don't understand is that the chances of seeing positive returns are highly unlikely. You're more likely to lose money. Here's the truth: About 97% of penny stocks are awful companies or, flat-out, horrible investment choices. In my opinion, there are only 3 ways to actually make money on penny stocks. The first, is finding something I call a "revamp company." Every once in a while a company will go bankrupt, maybe get bought out, and restructure their business models entirely. And at some point in that arch of a story, investors can get in at an huge discount. Again, this is an extremely rare occurrence… and takes a lot patience. Secondly, investors get lucky. They buy a stock for cents on a dollar, wait until they get lucky, and sell. It's that simple. And then there's Tim's method - buying and selling off something called "pump and dumps." And surprisingly, it's consistent. You're not diving into any profits, revenues, margins… None of that. Why? Because penny stock don't have any. Instead, Tim advises listeners to just look at only two things: "Volume and price-action." "...Who were today's highest percent gainers and losers… and why?" Of course, as Tim explains on the show, there are a couple strict guidelines to follow. But more important, these "pump and dump" schemes happen more than you'd think. As an avid investors, Tim and I have seen it all… Promotions, people who get paid to recommend stocks, targeted short-sellers, etc. The list goes on. Some of the biggest scams I've ever seen derive from pump and dump initiatives. And it's nice to finally bring someone on the show that knows how to benefit from them. Yet only from the outside looking in. Again, this strategy is not for everyone… But if you can take it one step at a time, play by these specific rules, and bet on the right information... you can turn thousands into millions in a matter of days. Whether you play the upside or the downside, here's the only real way investors can money in this highly speculative market.

Welcome back to another episode of Frankly Speaking! Today I begin the show by giving away a list of large-cap, well-managed, and durable companies. I'm talking about proven companies that have been around for decades… and the ones that have a history of increasing their dividend annually. More important, some of the stocks I uncover today are at value prices. Although some might be underperforming, buying them at current levels can prove to be monumental in the long-run. Again, these are stocks that investors can hold onto forever. Switching gears, I answer a question on stop-loss orders. This particular question asks what the difference is between "Trailing stop-loss percentages" and "Trailing stop-limit percentages?" My answer: It doesn't matter! Today, I explain the importance of "handing you hand." And my favorite third-party tool that doesn't show the market your every move. Then, to end the episode, I'm taking another stock and looking under the hood. It's a stock that might seem favorable from a glance... but today I point out all the negatives, giving as much analysis as I can. It's why I'm here. Special thanks to Larry, Jose, Chris, Mark, and Jack for all the great questions. Keep 'em coming at [email protected]

Welcome back to another episode of Wall Street Unplugged. This week I welcome back Garth Braun, Chairman & CEO of BlackBird Energy (BBI.V). Last time Garth was on the show he introduced listeners to one of the finest oil patches in North America - Canada's Montney Formation. This liquid-rich shale area is now home to some of largest players in the industry - companies like Encana, Apache, Sinopec, and Shell. It's Canada's next big energy bet. And Blackbird Energy, the small-cap exploration and development company, was one of the first to discover it. So to start off the episode, Garth catches listeners up to date. He begins by breaking down Blackbird's recent major capital raise… and how the company has added even more land into the Montney. Moving on, we then talk about the sector as a whole. As the "oil supply glut" continues to haunt investors across the industry, not to mention the increase of drilling costs overtime… companies like BlackBird Energy have been forced to innovate and adapt to current market conditions. And this is what makes Garth's company so unique. Blackbird has implemented and acquired a 10% stake in Stage Completions - a leading edge optimization technology that reduces drill times, increases tonnage, and cuts costs practically in half. Meaning, this is a company that can remain profitable with prices as low as $30/barrel. And in my 20+ years of research, I've only seen a few cases where a company has that ability. If you're invested in some of these huge producers that can only make profits on $50, $60 oil prices, it's time to take another look. Blackbird Energy is trading at roughly the same levels as it was last time Garth was on the show. And although that was only 3 months ago, so much within the company has changed... For one, they've added more onto the Montney, they have increased reserves by more than 1,000%, and they have just placed over $80M into the bank. More importantly, Garth has managed to do all of this with zero debt, yet the stock is still priced under $1. To end the episode, Garth uncovers what investors can expect in the next 6 to 12 months… along with the company's ambitious long-term growth plans. Although this stock might currently pose as too aggressive for some investors, on today's episode, you won't leave empty handed. Be sure to tune in as there is a ton of valuable information and insight on today's oil and liquids industry. Good Investing, Frank Curzio

Welcome back to another episode of Frankly Speaking! We're officially in a stock picker's market. The gold and junior mining sectors are not what they were two years ago. You used to be able to just take a dart, throw it, and be up 200% - 300%... But market dynamics have shifted. These are sectors that have recovered significantly since record-level lows. And now that the market has gone up, extra homework on the individual companies is a must. To begin today's show, I explain exactly what investors need to look for in these risky markets... and how to tell if their flagship mining projects are worth betting on. Switching gears... I then talk about the difference between American and Canadian stock exchanges... and why I always push listeners away from the OTC. Many of my stock recommendations fall under Canadian listed exchanges. And as I explain on the show... the more volume, the safer the exchange. Then, to end the episode, I share with listeners one of the biggest market disconnects today. This is a popular stock that has recently come down 8, 9 points and is currently sitting at a bargain price. Don't bet against Warren Buffett here. This particular company is spending a lot of money in all the right growth markets. Your'e getting paid to wait. Other topics talked about: An updated outlook of a stock I recommended 6 years ago - Steel Dynamics (STLD)...A break down on how private-placement offerings work... And an update on Amir Adnani's GoldMining (GOLD) Special thanks to Luke, Paul, Jared, Daniel, and Michael for all the great questions. Keep em coming!

Welcome back to another episode of Wall Street Unplugged. My guest this week is Chris Mayer, 20-year plus market veteran and editor of the Bonner Private Portfolio & Focus newsletter. Chris is constantly traveling the world to find unique investment opportunities. He's like the Anthony Bourdain of finance. Every time Chris is on the podcast, he provides listeners with ideas that are completely off-the-radar. These are stocks most investors have never heard of... in markets most investors steer away from. Join me as he breaks down his hidden stock ideas, the banking sector, and his favorite emerging market to invest in right now - India. Since the election of Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2014, the country has experienced a significant economic shift. Modi has set about cutting taxes, reducing regulation, addressing banking issues… all while controlling inflation. Chris is calling him "Reagan 2.0." And the way Chris tells it, plenty of investment opportunities are slowly opening up. Chris then shares his personal experiences with billionaire and Agora founder Bill Bonner. In the mix of it all, Chris reveals his proprietary C.O.D.E system. This is an investment strategy he uses to outperform the S&P 500 year after year. As Chris explains, "there are lots of different ways for investors to get up the mountain…" But there's only one key characteristic behind every '100 bagger.' Plus, for this week's Educational Segment, I talk about something we are conditioned to avoid at ALL cost… Yet it's something that is widely misunderstood. It's considered a "red flag" in every financial textbook and by analysts everywhere... But in reality, these are opportunities that can lead to returns beyond belief. As always, thanks for listening and good investing!

Welcome back to another episode of Frankly Speaking! Today I talk about something my subscribers will get very familiar with... Stop-loss orders. This is an investment strategy I will use and strongly recommend for every stock pick in the portfolio. But as you might notice, my recommended stop-loss percentages often vary. Depending on the size of the stock and other technicals, the formula switches. And this is extremely important for protection purposes. Today I explain why. Moving on... I then talk about a stock that I've been getting tons of emails on - Northern Dynasty (NAK). Just last week the state of Alaska came out with game-changing news surrounding NAK's land-permit. The stock rose 34.1% in one trading day. This is a huge slap in the face for the infamous short-seller Kerrisdale Capital. And I'll explain why. But we cannot forget... Northern Dynasty still has their biggest hurdle ahead. Join me this week as I break-down the recent news, what it means for the company, and how I think investors should react. Other topics talked about: Advice for any entrepreneurs, a perfect example of compounding your investments, and how to get your feet on the ground in the world of finance. Also, once again... And I'll never stop saying it... Thank you to all of my listeners for joining me on my newest venture - Curzio Research Advisory. It's been a successful launch. And I'm already looking towards next months pick! Special thanks to Brett, Jose, Douglas, and John for all the great questions. Keep them coming! Just email me at [email protected] Good Investing, Frank Curzio

Welcome back to another episode of Wall Street Unplugged! After a crazy week and the successful launch of my brand-new newsletter, Curzio Research Advisory… it's time to get back to business. On this week's show I'm jumping right back into my favorite sector, junior mining. Today I welcome back a guest that has made listeners a lot of money over the years… He is the co-founder & CEO of Gold Standard Ventures (NYSE: GSV), Jonathan Awde. The first time Jonathan was on the show, his exploration company, Gold Standard Ventures, was under 40 cents. Today, the company is over $2.00 per share. To start off the interview, Jonathan catches listeners up to date… breaking down their recent game-changing acquisitions. Including a 21,000 acre acquisition which increases their holdings at the south end of Nevada's Carlin Trend by 66%. Gold Standard Ventures now holds the second largest contiguous land package on Nevada's Carlin Trend. It's known as one of the most "prolific" gold producing areas in the world. But this isn't the best part. For such a small exploration company, Gold Standard Ventures has been building an extremely strong treasury. As Jonathan will explain in the interview, several significant investors have bought stake in the company since we've last talked. One corporate investor in particular is Goldcorp. They are the 3rd largest gold producer in the world. And they recently increased their stake in the company over 10%. This is a huge factor going forward. To add to the story… Jonathan gives listeners his 2017 outlook. As GSV plans to take on their biggest, most ambitious drilling program in the history of the company, Jonathan claims this is going to be their "biggest year" to date. So investors: If you felt you missed the boat last occasion… It's time to take another look. At current levels, the stock looks attractive. Plus, the share price is coming off a 27% pullback from it's highs. The company seems to be on the cusp of a rebound considering all the catalysts Jonathan unfolds in front of us today. PS – Don't leave after my guest signs off. Educational Segments are back! On this episode I'm taking the Walt Disney company under the microscope. After Goldman Sach's recent "buy" recommendation, I'm stepping in to pull apart the truth from all the noise.

Welcome back to another episode of Frankly Speaking! After news of recent Syria attacks, defense stocks have seen a bit of a spark. We've seen Raytheon (RTN) surge 3%, Lockheed Martin (LMT) rise 1.2%, and Northrop Grumman (NOC) add .9%. Is it time to place our bets? ...Or is it too late? Tune in as I take the defense sector under the microscope. Also, as many of you have heard, my newsletter Curzio Research Advisory is finally live. If you are having any trouble getting the offer, or have had any technical issues... this is the podcast to listen to. Special thanks to Joe, Sid, and Allen. Keep the questions coming! Good Investing, Frank Curzio

Welcome back to another episode of Wall Street Unplugged! This week's show is a special one… It's the moment we've all been waiting for. My brand-new flagship newsletter, Curzio Research Advisory, is finally live. That's right, it's official. And before my guest signs on, I've prepared a special segment to tell you all about it. These are specific instructions, tips, and details on how listeners can make the best out of this limited-time opportunity. I'm then joined by Managing Director & Portfolio Manager at Point View Wealth Management - John Petrides. Today, John and I break down a number of topics - politics, emerging markets, economics, you name it… John knows it all. But to start off the interview, John brings up something that's rarely addressed… It's a period of time he calls the "Beartrap." And we're in the middle of it. It's the time in between earnings seasons and, as John explains, when investors must be alert. This is when there's a ton of headline risks... and when individual investors overly focus on short-term economic data. As John puts it, "we don't want to make long-term decisions based on short-term risks." Switching gears, John shares with listeners his favorite play in the energy sector. Just last week, this company announced a "home-run" deal. And as it continues to free up cash, lower debt, and buy back shares… this under-the-radar stock is poised for something huge. As always, before John signs off, he highlights his favorite sector going forward… The ultimate hedge against Trump.

Welcome back to another episode of Frankly Speaking! First and foremost… I want to thank everybody for their patience. My flagship newsletter, Curzio Research Advisory is just a few days away from launch. And today, without saying too much, I wanted to cover some last minute details. This will include some hints on what to expect, prices, my lifetime offer, and the special reports attached. And please, if you have any questions or concerns about receiving the offer… Email me directly at [email protected]. I want to make sure all of my followers have immediate access. My next question comes from Chadwick. He brings up a mining stock located in a region I rarely cover - South Africa. As far as mining stocks go, is South Africa's jurisdiction worth exploring? I then break down one of the most important factors to look for before any investment. This is something I check before I dive into any numbers or technicals. It's insider trading. Insider information is extremely valuable to us (individual investors). Insider trading shows insider confidence. Let's face it, the mangers and front office executive will always know something that we don't. Insider's buy for only one reason... And timing your investments with theirs can result in huge gains. Tune in to discover how to find them online. After all, it's free. Special thanks to George, Chadwick, Robert, Peter, and Brian. Keep the questions coming! Other topics talked about: The buying hated stocks methodology, and my thought process behind fertilizer/ farming investing.

Welcome back to another episode of Wall Street Unplugged! This week I'm joined by longtime friend, Andrew Horowitz. Andrew is the host of the financial podcast – The Disciplined Investor. He is also the CEO and Founder of Horowitz & Company. To start off the interview, Andrew and I talk about the #1 catalyst in the markets right now… We're talking politics. As Andrew says, "everything the governments talk about, the markets hang their hats on." And he couldn't be more spot on. The stock market just had it's worst week since the election after Donald Trump failed to rally support for his healthcare plan. And with markets already trading at a premium, investor sentiment is beginning to pull back. As we all know, the markets have reached new heights solely on anticipation of Trump's pro-growth policies. But will they actually be carried out? Tune in as Andrew explains today's overarching issue… And why paying close attention to the guys upstairs (the government) is now more important than ever before. Then, if there's one thing that Andrew nails every time he's on the podcast… It's his short picks. To end the interview Andrew presents listeners with two more. This is a thesis investors don't want to miss.

Welcome back to another episode of Wall Street Unplugged! On today's show I bring back the rockstar of CEO's – Keith Neumeyer. Keith is a pioneer in the resource industry. He has successfully built three publicly traded mining companies And today, he catches us up to date on two of them - First Mining Finance (FF.V), and First Majestic Silver (AG). I first invited Keith on the show directly after the launch of his first gold venture, First Mining Finance. At the time, the stock was at just at $.30. Today, the stock price rests right around $1. Keith has a knack for buying assets at the right time. In other words, he's an expert at timing the market. As you'll hear on the show, "what you pay for assets is how you create value" is his motto. When he launched First Mining Finance, gold prices were sitting at record-level lows. And when commodity prices finally rebounded last year, his company took off – reaching gains well over 300%. Today Keith gives us his outlook for the company going forward, along with the yellow-metal itself. Moving on, we turn our focus to Keith's other company, First Majestic Silver (AG). First Majestic is the largest Silver producer in the world. And looking at the numbers, The company has everything in place. Then for today's Educational Segment, we take a closer look at one of my favorite market strategies – Buying hated stocks. One-by-one, I break down a list of Wall Street's most hated companys. These are the stocks that everyone avoids; and stocks that have "sell" ratings across the board. This includes names like Twitter, Valeant, Sears, Macy's, Gamestop, and Target. By any means, what I am about to introduce to you is not an easy strategy… But when you follow these steps, it can work like a charm. This is the stuff that has led me to my greatest gains in my career. And it's the only contrarian formula you need to know.

Welcome back to another episode of Frankly Speaking! Think you got what it takes to work with Jim Cramer? My first question of the day comes from Jim himself. He's looking for some help. And I promised him I would reach out to you - my listeners. If you didn't know, I worked under Jim for 5 years at TheStreet.com as an Senior Analys... And I have never had a better learning experience outside of that 5 year span. It was a job of a lifetime. And I wouldn't be here today without it. If interested in the opportunity, be sure to tune in for the specific instructions. I'll see what I can do. Moving on, and after some March Madness talk (sorry, I just had to mention my Jayhawks), we get back on track [14:40]. This is when I take a closer look at the gold stock, Timmins Gold Corp (TGD). Tune in as I take listeners, start to finish, throughout my entire analysis process. These are my 6 never-skip qualifications before I make any mining investment. This is the stuff that has saved me a fortune. Special thanks to Zach, Darren, & Reymond. Keep them coming! Just email your questions to me at [email protected], with the subject line: Frankly Speaking

Welcome back to another episode of Wall Street Unplugged! On today's show, I introduce listeners to Panna Sharma. Panna is the CEO and President of a small-cap, clinical and diagnostics company - Cancer Genetics (CGIX). Panna brings together everything you need to know about the company. It's core focus? Precision medicine. And the drug industry is betting big on it… To start off the interview, Panna and I talk about how treatments and innovations in the industry are rapidly changing… In the past, companies were betting on single drugs and routine treatments to cure all. But considering the complex, biological diversity of something like cancer, there has never been and never will be "one answer." Panna explains how the industry and his company in particular are making huge strides in the right direction. Recently, we've seen a transfer from trial-and-error medicines to evidence-based medicine. And instead of dividing patients into groups based on thousands of outcomes, today you can now treat patients baseds on the details of their own unique genes. The trend is the death of "one size fits all." And companies like Cancer Genetics are sitting at the center of it. The business model, as Panna says, comes from a "multi-tiered" approach. The company focuses on drug design, clinical trials, and diagnosis development. It's a strategy leveraged from genomic data, innovation, and collaboration. And it benefits both side's of the equation - the world of biotech/pharma development, as well as the patients. Now for those that are familiar with my podcast, you know that I'm picky... And you probably have heard about my show's golden rule -- To never bring on a CEO of a company I don't personally believe in. In other words, don't take this as a sales pitch. This company, no doubt, has long-term growth potential. And Panna has all the right answers to back it up… After looking at what's actually on paper, it was difficult to turn away. For one, there's high insider ownership. But more important, Cancer Genetics is working with 8 out of the top 10 biotech companies. A small company with strong partnerships with some of the biggest names in the industry is huge. This commercial traction alone is their strongest catalyst going forward. The current share price is sitting just above $2.00. And valuations are at a steep discount compared to other traditional genomic diagnosis companies. But before taking any action, note that earnings are only one week away. And considering the current shape of the industry, be sure to do some homework. Again, this is a long-term play… And resources like this interview are a great place to start. Not only is this a company that should be on everyone's radar, this is one of those "feel good" stories. And I'm more than happy to introduce listeners to the opportunity. Just click here to listen…

Welcome back to another episode of Frankly Speaking! My new newsletter, Curzio Research Advisory is just a couple weeks away... And to start off today's episode, I need to clear up some confusion. Listeners will hear all about my special offer, how to sign up, and a general description of what the newsletters entails. And as you'll hear, there's more to it than just stock picks... Moving on, today's main segment covers one of the most hated stocks on Wall Street - Target (TGT). All the analyst are negative... the price is sitting at multi-year lows... and the retail sector is spiraling downwards. I always advise my listeners to "never catch a falling knife" but for Target, this isn't the case anymore. Tune in as I explain why the risk/reward looks favorable. There are 3 major catalysts that I believe will finally drive this depressed stock higher. Thanks for listening and good investing! Frank Curzio

Hello and welcome back to another episode of Wall Street Unplugged! On this week's show I'm joined by market veteran - Richard Suttmeier. Rich has been analyzing stocks for over 40 years and is a weekly contributor for Forbes and TheStreet.com. He is the founder and CEO of Global Market Consultants. There's one thing about Richard that sets himself apart from any other guest I have on the show… He is the ultimate bear. But I don't blame him either… Rich is one of the few analysts I know that dives into data he calls "the balance sheet of the US economy." Otherwise known as the FDIC Banking Profile. And on today's episode, he takes us under the hood of the fourth quarter results - suggesting that some stocks have rallied too far, too fast. Rich brings the "overbought" argument back to the table. And highlights the several risks stocks are still exposed to… despite deregulation and other pro-business administrative efforts. He explains why investors need to play it safe and book their profits now, before it's too late. As Richard puts it, a market correction is going to occur a lot sooner than expected. Now I can't agree with everything… But as investors, it's always important to look at a different perspective. And although Richard presents us with ideas that might sound extreme, let's face it, you can never be "too safe."

Welcome back to another episode of Frankly Speaking. Before we dive into any questions today… I have an important announcement. In just a few more weeks will be the launch of my new newsletter - Curzio Research Advisory. As we're approaching episode 500 of my Wall Street Unplugged podcast, this is something that has been a long-time in the making. And today, I wanted to share with you (my subscribers) a few more details. Moving on to today's main segment… Although my expertise is in the markets, investing, and stocks… every now and then I get a question that covers personal finance. This relates to everyone… and especially if you're new to investing. Whether it's student loan debt, car loans, or mortgage payments… I present listeners my #1 word of advice. It's simpler than you think, and more importantly, it's never too late. Other topics covered today include: An update on Northern Dynasty and their EPA concerns, stop-loss orders, and more advice on how to use 13F's to your full advantage...

Welcome back to another episode of Wall Street Unplugged! On today's show I bring back Jordan Trimble - President and CEO of Skyharbour Resources (SYH.V). Skyharbour stands today as one of the most overlooked Uranium explorers. It's located in the heart of what's now known as the #1 mining jurisdiction is the world - Canada's Saskatchewan. Since Jordan was last on the show in November, we've seen a massive shift in the sector. Today, Jordan catches listeners up to date. Aside from Uranium prices finally coming off their lows... Skyharbour Resources alone has jumped nearly 150% in just 3 months. From .28 to .69, the stock still rests under $1 but as Jordan explains, this won't be the case much longer… Skyharbour just released news on their most recent drilling program. And the results are game-changing. But as investors, lets not forget - junior miners don't generate any revenue… cash concerns are critical, and at times, over-drilling can be detrimental... even in favorable economic conditions. As the company plans to aggressively drill in the near future, I ask Jordan the questions all investors need to know. Then, stepping back from the technicals, we take a closer look at the Uranium market as a whole. We already know demand is ramping up… but what about the other catalyst? As Jordan explains, there are multiple underestimated market components. These are factors that will only continue to drive Uranium prices higher. The fundamentals are all lining up. As for Skyharbour, if you took my recommendation a few months ago... keep enjoying the ride. As I expect Uranium prices to double in the next 6 to 12 months... well positioned companies like Jordan's should reap all the benefits. Also, don't miss this week's Educational Segment [45:36]. As the market continues to reach new all-time highs, fears are rising. Is the market too expensive? Are we overvalued? Absolutely not. Ignore it. Too many metrics are telling the wrong story.

Hello and welcome back to another episode of Frankly Speaking! For the most part, today's show is not too different from others. Well, aside from one thing... I've got a headache. And although there's a lot to cover… today I take a moment to step away from the market-talk. No "shots fired" or anything, but there's just a few things I need to clear up. And every once in awhile it's a bit more fun hosting a show - without any filter. I use this occasion to talk about the last newsletter I worked for… one of the biggest insurance scams in the world… and my apparent faulty claims on Boeing's automation front. As for the markets… Last week, I touched base on one of the largest bubbles on planet - Chinese real-estate. Time to short? ...Not so fast. On today's show, I dig a little deeper. And by looking at the big picture, this is a situation that almost makes too much sense. Tune in as I explain why investors need to pump their brakes on this particular trade… Then, for today's main segment, I talk about about the one and only - Tesla (TSLA). And why anything you read on this stock, you must take with a grain of salt. This is not a buy, or sell. In fact, I'm indifferent… But at least I tell the truth. Special thanks to Matt, Jake, Michael, Brian, and Joseph. Keep the questions coming!

Welcome back to another episode of Wall Street Unplugged! To begin the show, and before my guest signs on... I share one of the most underutilized tools in the world of financial research and analysis. They're called 13F's. Every quarter, all hedge funds and institutional investment managers with over $100 million in qualifying assets are required to report something called a SEC 13F filing. Simply put, these 13F reports disclose what the largest investors in the world are buying and dumping… allowing regular people like you and me to see exactly where the "smart money" is moving. This is the easiest way investors can trade with famous traders like George Soros, Warren Buffett, or John Paulson. And they are publicly available every quarter… in full detail. Breaking down these reports can lead to the market's most interesting trends. And, with nothing to hide, this is where I find a lot of my new investment ideas. Today I share a few examples… Then for this week's interview, I'm joined by John Petrides – Managing Director and Portfolio Manager at Point View Wealth Management. John is a Wall Street Unplugged regular. From retail and telecom… to infrastructure, healthcare, and financial sectors... Every time John joins the show, he covers it all. And today he starts with earnings season... Thus far, just over 85% of the S&P 500 companies have reported earnings. And about 66% have exceeded analyst expectations. Today, however, we take a closer look at the more important metrics… Earnings growth has reached a 3-year high. And with forward expectations getting dangerously high, John raises all the right questions. We also talk about today's most hated industry… Out of all sectors this earnings season, none performed as poor as retail. Stores like JC Penney, Macy's, and Target have all been crushed this past holiday season. And although shopping trends continue to point online, John and I both agree that the end is nowhere near for department stores. Tune in to hear who we think will survive… To end the interview, John prepares investors for upcoming rate hikes. The fed fund rates are currently sitting at 1.25%. But due to "hawkish" changes coming soon, John expects rates to reach as high as 3% in only 2 years from now. More importantly, John shares with listeners his two favorite sectors going forward in today's deregulatory environment. And also shares with us 4 international stocks that he considers "buys" today. Then, for my Educational Segment, I cover the fastest growing industry in the world. It has ties with every sector on the planet. However, because it's still early, this highly talked about sector is a minefield. Join me as I break down the numbers… and show listeners exactly how they can stay one-step ahead of this enormous yet dicey industry.

Welcome back to another episode of Frankly Speaking! Keep the questions coming! Last week, the Consumer Price Index (CPI), otherwise known as the inflation rate, posted its largest gain in nearly four years - crushing expectations. And as Fed Chairman, Janet Yellen, has already promised, an interest rate hike is just around the corner. Investors everywhere are ramping up for this massive macroeconomic change. But what does this mean for gold? With mild inflationary trends and expected growth in the dollar… almost everyone is expecting the price of the yellow metal to drop. But I can't say I agree… Then, taking my focus overseas, I talk about China's massive real estate bubble. And highlight the best ways for investors to position themselves around the crisis. Get your pens ready as I give listeners a list of ETF's to pay close attention to. Today's show also covers one of the biggest topics addressed in this past election (republican or democrat) - American Infrastructure. As you'll hear, the infrastructure trend is for real. And as far as President Trump's lengthy promised to-do-list, I expect infrastructure changes to lead the way. Good new for investors - there are a ton of stocks still in the sector that are relatively cheap in comparison to the S&P500. Tune in as I explain why it's time to start placing your bets… And finally, to end the episode, I bring a few stocks under the microscope. This includes some of the top companies in the US that paying the highest tax rates. The stocks are CVS Pharmacy, KMI, and General Electric. As always, thanks for tuning in and good investing, Frank Curzio PS - For those not familiar... I host my Frankly Speaking podcast every Friday.

Thank you for the continued support!

Welcome back to another episode of Wall Street Unplugged! Today's guest is Frank Holmes, CEO and Chief Investment Officer of U.S. Global Investors. If there's anyone that knows the global economy, it's Frank. To begin the episode, Frank talks about the reality of deregulation. As we all know, the Trump administration has promised massive tax reforms. But Frank argues that these reforms are going to take much longer than what has been initially anticipated. As Frank says, it's time investors realize Trumps pro-business reforms will "take twice as long… cost twice as much… and will make everyone half as happy." In addition, Frank explains his bullish stance on the mining, materials, and energy sectors. According to Frank, the recent cutbacks in supply for several commodities will soon lead to large increases in price. Changing topics, Frank then gives his outlook for the airline industry. Two years ago Frank's company, US Global Investors, launched what's now known as the #1 airlines ETF in the world (JETS). And his timing couldn't of been better… Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway, as of last week, is now investing $8M into the airliner industry. This is the same industry he called a "death trap for investors" just 5 years ago. As Frank explains, a lot has changed since then. Following decades of mergers, bankruptcies, and other disruptions, this sector is finally finding some stability. And current valuations are low – trading at 12 times earnings. Tune in as Frank makes his case for the finest pure-play airliner investment in this rejuvenated sector. Then, to close up the interview, Frank discusses "smart data." And his methodologies behind emerging market investments in countries like China, India, and Argentina. These are places where so many investors have been burnt – yet where Frank has found so much success. Although there is still money to make in America, Frank shows us little-known ways to diversify our portfolios overseas. Also, I'll be covering this week's interesting short report on Northern Dynasty (NAK). I've been getting tons of questions. And I hope this segment clears up all the confusion. This is one of the most corrupt occurrences in the financial industry... and it's completely legal! Before Frank Holmes signs on - I'll be highlighting the several blatant lies made in this report.

Welcome back to another episode of Frankly Speaking! Today's first question covers a stock I recommended over a year ago - Universal Corp (UVV). This is a type of stock that is the complete opposite of any mining company I've ever mentioned. It's what I like to call an "elite dividend payer." Most "elite dividend payers" are companies you'll never hear about. These are companies that have plenty of cash flow... they're not exiciting... and they don't plan on raising cash anytime soon. Wall Street loves to rave on and on about a stocks capital gains but never the other crucial part of the formula - the dividend yield. Over time, as these companies continue to raise their dividend, investors can make a fortune. Then, there are some stocks you should never ever short or bet against. And believe it or not.. Tesla (TSLA) is one of them. The company has a lot of work to do to live up to their valuations... and although the fundamentals scream its a sure short... Investors need to be very careful here. Tune in as I explain why. I'll be giving away the most important rule behind shorting stocks. Also, I answer a question that couldn't be better as far as timing. It covers earnings season. There's a lot of "funny money" business going on around this time of year. And analyzing stocks off these company earnings can get very confusing. So, to end the episode, I clear some things up. I cover the difference between manipulated earnings and adjusted earnings.

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.

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.
