Wall Street Unplugged - What's Really Moving These Markets

I hope you enjoyed your Independence Day weekend! I start today's show with a quick rant about those who oppose this national holiday… and highlight my own fun experiences from the weekend. While the Fed must force a recession to moderate inflation, the tactic appears to be working. I highlight some positive signs we're seeing across markets, from bonds to commodities… And why I believe the Fed's rate hikes could end sooner rather than later—which would cause the market to surge. I reiterate why you should start scaling into positions right now… and share my 3-part checklist for finding the best opportunities. Finally, I'll be a keynote speaker at TCG World's Metaverse Expo, held July 8–10 in Las Vegas. I'd love to see you there (booth B02). In this episode: A rant about July 4 haters [0:15] A recession is inevitable [6:15] Why the Fed will end its rate hikes soon [9:59] Why you should start scaling into positions now [16:40] My checklist for the best buying opportunities [23:00] Meet me at TCG World's Metaverse Expo [26:43] Enjoyed this episode?

Pete Parente, creator of GREED—crypto's first music label and ecosystem—joins the show today. His extraordinary background includes serving as a U.S. Marine, working as a stockbroker, a business consultant, an entrepreneur, and even publishing multiple award-winning children's books. Pete breaks down everything you need to know about non-fungible tokens (NFTs)—what they are, how to buy them, and some of his favorites right now. He shares GREED's origin story and business model… its NFT marketplace… and how the company plans to disrupt the music industry. Pete's actually the guy who introduced me to our metaverse partner, TCG World. He explains what sold him on the platform and how the metaverse will revolutionize entrepreneurship. In this episode: Pete's motivation for diving into crypto [4:18] Breaking down NFTs… and Pete's favorites right now [12:15] GREED's origin story and NFT platform [24:00] Why Pete loves TCG World as much as I do [31:40] How the metaverse will help young musicians [34:15] Pete's award-winning children's books [38:20] How to get half off Metaverse Expo tickets [49:35] Enjoyed this episode?

Bitcoin dipped below $20,000 as overleveraged companies are going bust. We start today's show by discussing the liquidation of crypto hedge fund Three Arrows Capital and its ripple effects… the flaws of MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor's "all-in" Bitcoin strategy… and how the current crypto bear market reminds me of the dot-com crash. Next, we discuss Morgan Stanley's ridiculous call that Carnival Corp will go to zero… and I explain why I'm bullish on the cruise industry. In fact, my latest Curzio Venture Opportunities recommendation is a Carnival competitor. Finally, I highlight why Intel's recent price action hints the markets could be near a bottom—and an important lesson from previous bear markets. In this episode: Overleveraged crypto companies are unraveling [1:55] MicroStrategy's "all-in" Bitcoin strategy is flawed [6:30] Could Bitcoin go to $250k next year? [10:50] Why the crypto industry needs regulation [13:50] Big players are stepping up in this crypto bear market [18:14] Why Carnival Corp. won't go to zero [25:51] Intel's recent price action is positive for markets [34:05] Don't make this common bear market mistake [35:40] Enjoyed this episode?

With all the negative headlines right now, it seems like some of the positive headlines are being overlooked… I start today's show with the positive results from the Fed's recent bank stress test… the major signs inflation is finally peaking… and why I expect the Fed to end its rate-hiking path. I share why the worst of the selloff is behind us—and which sector I'm looking to buy right now. What's causing the massive volatility in the oil market? I break down the battle between buyers and sellers… and why I expect it to continue. Turning to earnings season, I explain why you need to pay close attention to the major retailers' reports… and red flags to watch out for across the board as companies' results start pouring in. Finally, I'll be a keynote speaker at the Metaverse Expo, held July 8–10 in Las Vegas. Here's how to get tickets… And if you're a Curzio One member, shoot me an email—I'd love to meet up with you there (booth B02).

Adam Russell, cybersecurity expert and cofounder of REV3AL, joins me to discuss cybersecurity, cryptos, DeFi, and the metaverse. In this wide-ranging interview, Adam shares what led him to start REV3AL—a company that authenticates digital assets like non-fungible tokens (NFTs) to protect investors from fraud. He explains how easy it is to get scammed by QR codes… and which apps you can trust. Adam also breaks down Web 2.0 vs. Web 3.0 in layman's terms… and the difference between "open" and "controlled" metaverses. You'll also learn why the metaverse will eventually go mainstream… what it'll look like in five years (think The Matrix or Ready Player One)… and why cybersecurity will be needed at multiple levels. In this episode: What got Adam hooked on the metaverse? [4:42] Why you must be careful with QR codes [9:00] How REV3AL provides investors peace of mind [12:50] Why the metaverse needs multiple layers of security [18:20] Adam's bad experience in a "controlled" digital casino [29:30] What the metaverse will look like in five years [34:30] Enjoyed this episode?

At this point, it's basically certain we'll see a recession in the near future… The Fed has no choice but to cause one in order to tame inflation. But while we may be (technically) headed for recession, I explain why it's not as scary as the media makes it sound—and why now's the time to start picking away at great opportunities. For example, small caps are historically cheap… and one country is ripe for investment. Turning to oil… Daniel and I break down the comedic standoff between oil companies and the Biden Administration—and share several of our favorite energy plays. In this episode: The Fed has no choice but to force a recession [1:15] Don't wait for the market to bottom to buy stocks [8:30] Big Oil vs. the Biden Administration [12:40] Why Russia is in a position of strength [22:00] You can make money on "boring" oil stocks [30:10] My favorite energy play isn't an oil stock [33:05] Enjoyed this episode?

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

For the last few days, I've been at an investment summit in Orlando. It seems every time I'm away, the market tanks… But it's a great time to start buying stocks. I explain why you need to start picking away at your watchlist. The biggest news is the Fed's 0.75% interest rate hike—and I do something a little unusual: give credit to the Fed. But it still has a lot of work left to do… I also break down how rising rates will impact homebuyers. The crypto market is the riskiest it's ever been… but its long-term reward profile is incredible. I highlight innovation in the crypto space—including our metaverse land deal with TCG World… and how accredited investors can join us. In this episode: Why I'm aggressively buying stocks [1:00] Credit to the Fed where it's due [6:15] Should you buy a home as mortgage rates rise? [10:14] What's behind the massive crypto crash? [18:00] The metaverse is not a fad [27:00] An inside look at the Orlando conference [37:20] Enjoyed this episode?

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

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

Sachin Khajuria, first-time guest and author of Two and Twenty: How the Masters of Private Equity Always Win, joins me to break down the private equity sector. Sachin breaks down private equity in layman's terms, including the "secret sauce" that drives the incredible success of the business model… and how it's getting easier for individual investors to get involved in the space. But not all private equity is created equal… Sachin breaks down how he identifies the best opportunities.

Daniel and I start today's show by discussing the biggest risk to the market: inflation. While some data shows inflation is peaking, we break down why consumers will see elevated prices for a while. Next, we highlight the government's blame-shifting narrative around inflation and soaring costs… what's really driving higher food and energy prices (hint: it's not Putin)... and the best way to bring prices back down. And we explain why you don't need to wait for a market bottom to start picking away at the best stocks. We also discuss the Securities & Exchange Commission's (SEC) proposed changes to "payment for order flow"... and whether this game-changing proposal is good or bad for individual investors. Finally, I share why I believe Bitcoin will go over $100k. In this episode: It's time to start picking away at great stocks [1:05] Government leaders are shifting the blame for higher prices [3:45] The real cause of—and solution for—soaring food and energy costs [11:00] Big market changes could be coming from the SEC [17:05] Why I'm bullish on Bitcoin [25:35] Enjoyed this episode?

I just got back from my daughter's basketball tournament in Orlando… and it was eye-opening to see how costs are rising. Speaking of rising prices, the Fed is finally serious about fighting inflation. I highlight what businesses must do to stay afloat in this environment… why supply chain constraints aren't going away anytime soon… and which industries to avoid. I share the qualities you should look for when buying stocks… a couple of names that belong on your radar… and some positive signs that the market is near a bottom. I see huge upside potential for stocks right now. That's why I added three new positions to the Curzio Venture Opportunities portfolio last week… and why I'll be releasing two new recommendations to Curzio Research Advisory members tomorrow. In this episode: Consumers are spending less money [0:23] What businesses must do to survive [8:00] Avoid these supply chain-sensitive industries [11:25] Critical qualities to look for when buying stocks [20:00] Signs we're near a market bottom [24:00] Enjoyed this episode?

Frank is traveling this week, so I (Daniel Creech) am behind the mic to cover the markets and rising energy prices… Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase, is warning investors to "brace yourself" for an economic hurricane. I give my thoughts on his prediction. I also explain why President Biden's Wall Street Journal op-ed shows how government policies will lead to even higher oil prices… and the European Union's latest Russian sanctions will only hurt local economies. Bottom line, if you think you've missed the gains in energy stocks, think again… In this episode: Jamie Dimon warns of economic hurricane [1:10] High rates and inflation are the new market normal [4:15] President Biden's op-ed missed the mark on energy prices [7:25] Why the new EU sanctions on Russian are a bad idea [11:55] You haven't missed the opportunity in oil stocks [14:45] Enjoyed this episode?

Daniel joins me to tackle your questions on the crypto bear market… and the box office blowout of Top Gun: Maverick. We cover how to handle crypto volatility.... factors to help guide your selling decisions… and a strategy for exiting positions. Daniel also shares his thesis on digital asset financial services company Galaxy Digital Holdings (BRPHF)… how to deal with emotions when a position goes against you… and when he'll sell his stock holdings. Despite the bear market, money continues to pour into the crypto space. We discuss some key examples, including VC firm Andreessen Horowitz, which just raised $4.5 billion to take advantage of crypto bargains. And we've partnered with TCG World to buy a $5 million stake in metaverse real estate. (If you're accredited and want to invest alongside us, go here.) Finally… Top Gun: Maverick made box office history Memorial Day weekend. We share whether we'd buy AMC or IMAX to benefit from the massive $156 million opening. In this episode: Is Daniel still bullish on Galaxy Digital? [3:55] How to manage crypto losses and prepare for next bull market [14:25] Will AMC or IMAX soar with Top Gun: Maverick?

Today's episode starts with a look at previous bear markets… how long it took for investors' fears to be fully priced into stocks… and why earnings growth will fuel the next big rally. I also break down the factors behind surging energy and food prices… and one sector that will ride the uptrend. Next, I update my inflation predictions… and explain why—despite the current risks—there's a lot of upside for stocks right now. That's why I added three new positions to the Curzio Venture Opportunities portfolio last week. Finally, I recap the huge metaverse partnership we announced last week… and how accredited investors can join us on the deal. In this episode: Why fear will drive huge returns for investors [0:20] What to expect from energy and food prices [5:12] One sector to buy right now [11:07] Why inflation is about to start falling [14:10] It's a high-risk/high-reward environment [16:29] How accredited investors can get in on our metaverse deal [23:15] Enjoyed this episode?

We just announced a historic deal here at Curzio Research: We're partnering with TCG World to purchase $5 million worth of land in its metaverse. In September, TCG will launch what I believe to be the best metaverse in existence. Regular listeners have heard me talk about the enormous opportunity the metaverse offers early investors. But today, you get to hear it directly from David Evans, the CEO of TCG World. David shares what attracted him to the metaverse… how it differs from other virtual worlds… and how it will soon blend with real life. He also highlights his vision for TCG World and the metaverse over the next several years—including how it will give all users the ability to profit. In this episode: Our historic metaverse deal is official [0:30] David's vision for TCG World [6:10] How the metaverse gives users a global opportunity for success [12:30] Why metaverse real estate is seeing strong demand [23:50] Commercial real estate is key to the metaverse [38:15] How accredited investors can get in on our land deal [42:50] Enjoyed this episode?

I'm taking more of your questions and comments about the market (and one about the NBA). A listener comments on our major deal with TCG World to buy land in the metaverse. I explain why this will be a game-changer for our business—and how accredited investors can get a stake alongside us. Next, I take a question on whether EV maker Rivian Automotive's stock is worth looking at… and the same listener wants to know who I like for the NBA playoffs. Finally, I explain why I'm bullish on markets despite China's COVID lockdowns… and why it's different from the lockdowns of March 2020. In this episode: Be careful as earnings season comes to an end [1:00] We've officially launched our metaverse deal [5:30] Is Rivian a buy?

I won't sugarcoat it: The last several weeks have been sh***y for the markets. I want to be here for you, so I'm answering more questions from listeners and subscribers. (I'll continue taking questions over the next few weeks, so if you have any, email me at [email protected].) To start, I cover the latest painful market movements—and why you need to steer clear of companies that haven't reported earnings yet… but highlight some positive signs I'm seeing. Then, I answer questions on whether Amazon is a buy... and how much cash you should hold in your portfolio. Plus, a listener shares how I saved him money earlier this year.
