S1 Ep 865Should you be allowed to invest in Russia?
I, Daniel, am leading the show today… and this episode is all about Russia. [0:30] JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs are catching the attention of politicians such as Elizabeth Warren over trading Russian bonds… I break down why—despite the bad perception for Wall Street—these banks aren't breaking any sanctions. [2:35] But what about Main Street? Should individual investors have the option to invest in Russia? [7:25] Several of the world's largest and most successful brands are cutting ties to Russia—including Coca-Cola, PayPal, PepsiCo, and McDonald's, to name a few. I highlight one step McDonald's is taking… that could create shareholder momentum. [12:15] If Russia's invasion of Ukraine ends, and the sanctions were removed… would Russia become a buying opportunity? [21:10] Enjoyed this episode?

Ep 864The bull market in commodities is just getting started
We're in a crisis unlike any other in recent memory. I break down the massive volatility amid the Russia-Ukraine war… and the Fed's plans to raise interest rates. [0:30] Meanwhile, politics are helping send oil prices rocketing higher. Prepare for a rant... The situation goes to show how much—and how quickly—government policies can change the market landscape… as we've seen since Biden replaced Trump in office. [5:00] And there are several simple solutions to high oil prices the government is ignoring… [13:55] As politicians ramp up the economic sanctions on Russia, I name a few sectors that should see a lot of increased investment dollars. [22:40] And you definitely want exposure to commodities. I share some stats on why we're still in the early stages of this bull market. [26:45] Enjoyed this episode?

S1 Ep 863Kuppy: Oil and uranium could soar as high as…
Listener favorite Harris "Kuppy" Kupperman, chief investment officer at Praetorian Capital and author of Kuppy's Event Driven Monitor (KEDM), is back on the show today. We kick it off with a discussion of the economic sanctions placed on Russia. Are they enough, and what about the risks to global businesses? Kuppy explains why the situation could lead to Lehman Brothers-scale bankruptcies outside of Russia. [2:30] One beneficiary of the market uncertainty is oil. Listen as Kuppy breaks down why today's high prices are only the beginning… [7:40] Uranium continues to move higher as governments look to replace "dirty energy" like coal and oil. Kuppy shares what investors should pay attention to beyond the price of uranium… how he's investing in the sector… and the most contrarian trade in today's market. [16:00] Finally, Kuppy's newsletter, KEDM, is a great idea generator. He gives us the background story on how it got started… and who his research helps. [26:50] Enjoyed this episode?

S1 Ep 862What Biden could learn from Mike Tyson
President Biden delivered his first State of the Union address last night. Daniel shares what he thought Biden did well… while I focus on what upset me about the speech—and what politicians could learn from Mike Tyson. [0:45] Of course, much of the address centered on Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Daniel and I discuss the economic sanctions against Russia… whether they're working as planned… and how the war will impact energy prices. [9:53] Fed Chair Jerome Powell announced plans to raise interest rates by 0.25% later this month... saying he "hopes" inflation goes down. While I'm riled up about the flip-flopping Fed, Daniel says I shouldn't be surprised. [14:25] Warren Buffett released his annual letter to Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A) shareholders over the weekend. Daniel explains why every investor should read these letters… and a couple of items that stood out to him from this year's. And we discuss why Berkshire will benefit from inflation. [20:10] Next, we focus on Buffett's comments regarding share buybacks. I break down why you should pay attention to Buffett's share repurchases… And Daniel highlights one company aggressively buying back its stock. [26:16] During its recent earnings report, semiconductor company Ambarella (AMBA) said the supply chain crisis is far from over. This will have a huge impact across sectors—and automakers in particular. [31:48] Speaking of autos, Ford (F) continues to spew bulls*** about its electric vehicles (EVs). I go on a small rant about the company's tactics to distract from its problems… and why I'd consider shorting Ford right now. [33:13] Enjoyed this episode?

S1 Ep 861Russia's actions are bullish for this sector…
I've spent a ton of time on the road lately for… gymnastics. My daughter's competitions have given me a front-row seat on some impressive athletes… and some made-for-TV drama. [0:30] I share a few observations from my travels—including a bullish sign for Disney (DIS)... and how interest rate hike fears appear to be impacting the Florida housing market. [3:40] A big unknown right now is whether we'll see any economic fallout from the Russia sanctions. I explain the war's effects on two critical market factors: oil and inflation. [8:00] Another unknown is how aggressive the Fed will be in 2022… Following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Wall Street thinks the Fed will only hike interest rates by 25 basis points (0.25%) this month—instead of the 0.50% increase it was previously expecting. I disagree… and explain why you should be ready for a 50-point rate hike. [12:05] I highlight some names that are doing great and a few that are struggling… my strategy for buying stocks in this volatile market… one "no-brainer" sector right now… and another I expect to keep surging due to Russian aggression. [20:10] Pivoting to digital assets… crypto is rallying hard this week. I break down why this asset class continues to attract money from around the globe. [28:10] The current market shows why hedging your portfolio is more important than ever. I share some of my preferred hedging strategies… and things to look for if you're putting money into the market right now. [32:40] Enjoyed this episode?

S1 Ep 860One biotech's 80% single-day plunge: A case study for investors
Biotech Kodiak Sciences (KOD) plunged 80% in one day after a major drug trial setback. In today's episode, we focus on why this company captivated Wall Street… and what investors can learn from the selloff. [1:45] I've been following Kodiak for a while… We once bought and sold it for a gain in Curzio Venture Opportunities. Even recently, the Baker Brothers—some of the best biotech investors—were buying heavily. [3:40] But this week… the Phase 3 study for its most exciting drug missed expectations. [7:50] The situation is a strong example of why investors must pay attention to expectations—both high and low… and be willing to adjust as facts change. [11:00] When expectations are leaning either bullish or bearish, consider the contrarian trade… It's how you make the biggest gains as an investor. [26:00] Enjoyed this episode?

S1 Ep 859The commodity trade is far from over
Daniel's back in the office and I rib him about taking a sick day… the day before his birthday! [0:30] Markets continue to be volatile around the Russia-Ukraine conflict. We discuss Russia's latest "peacekeeping missions"... and why Biden's sanctions will actually help the Kremlin. [2:45] I point out the huge difference in public perception between Russia and China… and why the U.S. (wrongly) takes a different approach in its dealings with these two countries. [7:50] Hopefully the Russia-Ukraine situation is a short-term problem for markets… and once it resolves, it could be the perfect time to buy oil stocks and other commodity-related plays. [11:45] Speaking of commodities, coal is surging—and the price will remain elevated for the foreseeable future. While "coal" is a swear-word in most investing circles… investors in this commodity stand to make a ton of money. [14:00] Another swear-word in the investing world: Uranium. We share why we're shocked prices aren't much higher. [19:55] Turning to inflation… markets continue to anticipate multiple interest rate hikes this year. JPMorgan thinks we'll see nine in a row. Daniel and I debate whether the Fed will be aggressive enough… and Daniel explains why rising oil prices will give the Fed some wiggle room. [24:15] Virgin Galactic, a popular SPAC, is making headlines following its earnings report. I break down why SPACs are terrible for individual investors—for the most part… And whether there's any value to Trump's SPAC, Digital World Acquisition Corp. (DWAC). [32:30] Enjoyed this episode?

S1 Ep 858A major indicator suggests stocks are about to roar higher
I just came back from Baltimore, where I recorded a new special report I'm excited to share with you… how to make an absolute fortune from future government policies. [0:17] The Russia-Ukraine crisis is creating tons of market volatility and uncertainty—but this will be a short-term problem for investors. [4:00] I call out Europe for talking a big game against Russia… without any serious consequences. I also call out Germany and Great Britain for their weak actions in the conflict. [5:57] Why Russia has the most leverage of any country in the world right now… why it may not invade Ukraine after all… and why Ukraine isn't as innocent of a country as it seems… [10:15] While Russia/Ukraine tensions have taken center stage… the bigger risk investors should be worrying about is the Fed and how it plans to control runaway inflation. Some believe this risk is already priced in based on a leading indicator… [14:10] I highlight companies/sectors you should continue to avoid… while explaining how to structure your portfolio to take advantage of the volatility.

S1 Ep 857The greatest strategy most investors will never use
Genia Turanova, editor of Moneyflow Trader and Unlimited Income here at Curzio Research, joins me to discuss why higher inflation and rising interest rates will help separate certain companies from the rest of the market… and one sector with massive upside potential. [0:45] Moneyflow Trader was designed to help investors hedge against market risks and volatility. Since taking over the product two years ago, Genia has closed, on average, one triple-digit winner every 10 weeks! She walks us through her strategy… why options don't have to be scary… and the difference between shorting stocks and hedging your portfolio. [6:20] But options don't just help you protect against the downside… Genia explains how you also can use them to benefit from the upside. [16:20] Finally, she shares her favorite ideas today—both on the short and long side. [18:05] I wrap the show by explaining why Moneyflow Trader is one of my favorite products we offer—and why it's perfect for the environment we're currently in. [27:00] Enjoyed this episode?

S1 Ep 856This 'obvious' trade could generate 100% gains in 12 months
Sectors from autos to apparel to semiconductors are warning of the impact inflation could have if it's not brought under control… and the Fed needs to move aggressively to fight it. Daniel and I discuss whether the market is pricing in inflation… and why we're skeptical of the Fed doing the right thing. [0:45] Speaking of higher interest rates, I share my experience getting a construction loan for my new house… and the impact higher rates could have on the housing market. [8:40] Growth stocks continue to be extremely volatile as higher rates loom… And one of Daniel's favorites has been unfairly hit over the past few months. Daniel explains why investors should be watching this remarkable growth story. [16:45] Crocs (CROX) announced it would be suspending share buybacks to focus on lowering its debt. I explain why I think this is a smart move… and whether Crocs is a buy at current levels. [22:10] Plus, we discuss the impact of easing mask requirements… and the best opportunity for 100% gains over the next year as we continue to adjust to the new normal. [25:40] Enjoyed this episode?

S1 Ep 855The real story behind the Russia-Ukraine conflict
What a weekend… I give my thoughts on the big game, which included a few frustrating play calls. [0:30] Speaking of frustrating… I need to rant about the impending conflict between Russia and Ukraine. I've done a ton of homework on the tensions between these two countries. A lot of folks won't like what I have to say. Brace yourself for the truth about who's right in this conflict… and why the U.S. has no business being involved. [4:55] I break down why Ukraine is one of the most corrupt countries in the world… What history tells us about the issues between the two nations… And the ridiculous politics involved. [7:40] Plus, I highlight which country is the real threat to the U.S. even though most folks are afraid to admit it. [12:00] I explain why Ukraine (potentially) joining NATO is such a huge deal… and why it will probably never happen. [15:50] Finally, how worried should investors be about the Ukraine situation? It's triggering a lot of volatility in the market… but you can use it to your advantage. [19:45] And speaking of the choppy market, we're running a special promotion for Moneyflow Trader—which focuses on profiting from volatility. I break down Genia Turanova's strategy… and highlight a recent trade that generated a 165% gain in less than a month. [23:35] Enjoyed this episode?

S1 Ep 854How to pick the Super Bowl winner with 80% accuracy
Andrew Horowitz, founder of Horowitz & Company, host of The Disciplined Investor podcast, and fan-favorite guest, starts the show with a New Year's resolution that's going well… [0:30] Usually, Andrew's a laid-back guy… but the Fed has him fired up. He shares the only solution to higher inflation—if the Fed doesn't screw it up. [3:05] Next, we discuss the huge moves in Meta (FB) and Amazon (AMZN)... and what they say about the current market environment. [11:00] Another thing that's got Andrew fired up: SPACs. He breaks down how these companies use gimmicks to drive up prices… and calls out one popular hedge fund manager for screwing over individual investors. [16:10] As always, Andrew shares some of his favorite stock ideas—including one company poised to benefit from the massive metaverse trend. [20:40] To wrap the interview, Andrew shares what's catching his attention outside the U.S… why diversification is critical, especially in today's markets… and what to watch out for if the U.S. dollar starts rising. [26:25] Super Bowl weekend is almost here, which means it's time for my yearly tradition: breaking down the matchup to pick a winner. I've been doing this for years, and my system has an 80% win rate. I share some interesting stats on this year's teams—the Los Angeles Rams and the Cincinnati Bengals… and which one I believe will be this year's champion. [30:40] Finally, as you probably know, our Curzio Equity Owners security is now trading on the tZERO ATS (Alternative Trading Platform) under the ticker CURZ. [47:55] Enjoyed this episode?

S1 Ep 853The death of COVID will lead to an explosion in these stocks
We have a few fun topics to kick off the show: Daniel highlights the PGA tour in Scottsdale, Arizona this week… And I'm boasting a new look after a haircut didn't go as planned. [0:30] As COVID cases trend lower, states like California and New York have begun to lift mask mandates and related restrictions. I highlight one group of stocks set to soar as everyone cheers the end of COVID. [2:40] After reporting weak earnings last week, Meta (FB) gave back a year's worth of gains… in two trading sessions. Daniel, who's been bullish on this name through COVID, shares his takeaway, both from a fundamental and an emotional perspective… And I highlight what I'd need to see to add to my own position. [11:48] Cannabis grower Canopy Growth (CGC) caught my attention with its earnings. I share why I'm intrigued by this space… and why I'd look to trade cannabis stocks vs. holding them long-term. [20:05] Finally, I answer some of your questions on our Curzio Equity Owners security, which officially began trading on the tZERO ATS (Alternative Trading System) under the ticker CURZ.

S1 Ep 852Why the move to 'go green' is complete bulls***
Over the weekend, I attended my daughter's gymnastic competition... and found out (once again) why the saying "happy wife, happy life" is accurate. [0:30] It's a huge week here at Curzio Research. Yesterday, our Curzio Equity Owners security began trading on the tZERO ATS (Advanced Trading System). I share why investors should dig into the security token space… and how it's disrupting Wall Street's old ways of raising capital. [4:30] The opportunity in security tokens reminds me of several other revolutionary trends—from fracking to the Internet of Things (IoT)... And it benefits both issuers and investors. [7:35] Moving on, the Fed's coming rate hikes aren't priced into the markets. I highlight why the Fed won't be able to control inflation… [17:35] But as inflation moves higher, one left-for-dead sector is booming: traditional energy. I break down why the push to green energy is backfiring… and how to gain exposure to this space. [20:50] The volatility we're seeing right now is no joke… Some of the biggest stocks, from Meta (FB) to Amazon (AMZN), are moving 20% in a day—and moves like these are likely our "new normal." [25:50] So, as we all adjust, I want to thank you, my listeners. We try very hard to help individual investors here at Curzio Research, and I genuinely appreciate all your support and feedback. [31:30]
S1 Ep 851How to get exposure to the best shipping companies in the world
Frank Holmes, CEO and chief investment officer of U.S. Global Investors, is back on Wall Street Unplugged. We kick things off by discussing the pullback in the markets… Frank explains why he believes the selloff is nearing a bottom… and why he doesn't expect interest rates to rise significantly this year. [2:00] Frank recently launched his own exchange-traded fund: the U.S. Global Sea to Sky Cargo ETF (SEA)—which gives investors access to some of the best shipping companies in the world. He highlights why everyone should have exposure to this sector right now… and how he picks assets for the fund. [4:40] Turning to gold, I ask why gold prices aren't higher right now given the favorable market conditions. Frank breaks down how gold prices can be manipulated… and shares a strategy from the crypto-mining "playbook" that gold miners should start using. [14:05] As executive chairman of crypto mining firm HIVE Blockchain Technologies, Frank knows a lot about this subject. He highlights how gamers are making some serious money off of crypto… HIVE's environmental, social, and governance (ESG) strategy for its mining operations… and the massive growth his firm is seeing. [21:20] He also explains the different types of chips used for mining particular cryptos… [29:30] Next, Frank breaks down the difference between "proof of work" (PoW) and "proof of stake" (PoS)... and why fears over Ethereum's switch from the former to the latter are overblown. [39:00] We wrap up with Frank comparing the short-term headwinds for crypto vs. the long-term tailwinds… and why he expects prices to move much higher over time. [44:40] Enjoyed this episode?

S1 Ep 850After 12 years… numbers finally matter
Earnings season is underway… and after more than a decade, the results actually seem to matter to investors. Shares of Netflix (NFLX) are moving higher on strong earnings and huge insider buying. Daniel and I give our take on co-CEO Reed Hastings' "perfect timing" in scooping up shares… and whether Netflix will be able to maintain its dominant position as competition in the streaming space heats up. [0:45] UPS (UPS) is also moving to the upside after reporting blowout numbers, despite seeing higher costs in the quarter. I explain why, despite the rise in its stock price, the company is still trading at a reasonable valuation. [10:00] Daniel takes a small victory lap as his Dollar Stock Club recommendation, ExxonMobil (XOM), trades near 52-week highs following earnings. (It's up about 30% in the portfolio.) He breaks down how the push to "green energy" will actually drive oil higher… and ExxonMobil will continue to benefit. [14:00] Joe Rogan is sparking a heated debate over COVID "information" on Spotify, with artists pulling their music from the platform. I give my take on the drama… and whether Spotify (SPOT) is a buy at current levels given the negative press. [21:25] Turning to crypto, Meta Platforms (FB)—formerly Facebook—is ending its Diem stablecoin efforts… and selling the assets to Silvergate Capital (SI). I highlight why I love this move by Meta… and Daniel shares why it's great for Silvergate. [31:50]
S1 Ep 849Hundreds of thousands of assets are about to be tokenized
Big news: Our Curzio Equity Owners Token (CEO) token begins trading on the tZERO platform next week. I recap our incredible journey with CEO—from being just a wild idea a few years ago… to trading on a U.S.-based exchange. [0:30] But it's not just our token… Security tokens in general are finally gaining traction across the U.S. In fact, I've been talking with a lot of business owners showing huge interest in following our lead by creating their own. [3:00] I explain why I chose this avenue to grow my business… And why security token offerings (STOs) are a much better alternative to initial public offerings (IPOs), special-purpose acquisition companies (SPACs), or direct listings... [7:25] Finally, I walk through the process of creating a security token… and why I think there will be hundreds of thousands of new ones launched over the next five years. [21:50]
S1 Ep 848How to "Fed-proof" your portfolio
John Petrides, portfolio manager at Tocqueville Asset Management is back on the podcast to discuss current market volatility… and opportunity. To start, John gives his macro view of current market conditions… breaking down the volatility in growth stocks… interest rates… geopolitical risks… and more. [1:35] He explains why having an investing plan, along with managing expectations, is critical—especially in times like these… and why the current volatility has nothing to do with the market's fundamentals. [7:54] With interest rates expected to move higher, investors should focus on companies with strong balance sheets… John shares one "boring" investment to protect your portfolio, no matter what the Fed does. [9:05] Thematic investing, which focuses on specific long-term trends, gained a lot of momentum last year—especially in tech and other growth areas. While many of these stocks are significantly off their highs, John reveals why this investing thesis isn't dead… and some of his favorite "themes" to watch. [10:15] He also explains why he doesn't think we're headed for a recession... [17:00] Finally, as interest rates move higher, John points out why investors shouldn't just focus on the higher number.

S1 Ep 847COVID lies are finally exposed… And that's bullish for stocks
Daniel and I kick things off by discussing the recent market volatility. While the quickness of the pullback is surprising… investors should expect the large market swings to continue. [1:45] But market pullbacks create opportunities… and I'm seeing way more value in small caps than in large caps. [4:50] Fed Chair Jerome Powell is holding a press conference later today following the January Fed meeting. Here's what I think he'll say about rate hikes and inflation. [8:00] This week, Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson (R) held a hearing called COVID-19: A Second Opinion. Daniel and I share what stood out to us about the hearing… how it broke the mainstream narrative… and why the takeaway is bullish for the markets. [11:05] As economies move past Omicron, Daniel names a few sectors he's researching… and a stock that will benefit as interest rates and inflation continue higher. [19:35] Microsoft (MSFT) just reported its latest earnings. I highlight the results… and why we're entering a stock picker's market. [27:45] Volatility isn't just in stocks but cryptocurrencies, as well—the price of Bitcoin has fallen about 40% from its all-time high just a couple months ago. But former Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein is still bullish on crypto… Daniel and I break down his recent comments. [30:50] Enjoyed this episode?

S1 Ep 846The best opportunity to buy small caps in a decade
Market volatility is rampant. I break down the wild action so far this week… and why this market is unlike anything we've ever seen. [0:30] While I didn't expect this strong of a pullback this quickly, I've been warning about risks to the downside. I explain what inflation rates tell us about the possibility of a recession—and why that possibility isn't as scary as it seems. [6:05] While it may be hard to see through the volatility, this is one of the best times to buy small caps in 10 years… and I expect one small-cap sector to see a major comeback in 2022. (It's the sector I highlight in this month's issue of Curzio Venture Opportunities, being released tomorrow.) [12:20] I compare two growth stocks—Roblox (RBLX) and Rivian (RIVN)—that are selling off hard… and tell you which one I'd buy at current levels. [22:30] Turning to questions… Is now a good time to buy gold and silver stocks? In short, yes. I share why the environment for precious metals is fantastic… and how I would invest in the sector. [31:40] Could the Fed surprise the market and announce an interest rate hike during its meeting this week? I highlight what I expect from the Fed… [34:50] Enjoyed this episode?

S1 Ep 845A no-brainer way to profit from higher gold prices
As you may know by now, ith Frank traveling, I (Daniel) am leading the show this week. Market volatility continues to dominate the headlines, and gold prices are quietly moving higher. I share why it's a great idea for all investors to have exposure to gold… and a few different ways you can invest… including one stock that's management team, yield, and operating costs make it an absolute no-brainer. [1:40] My gold thesis somewhat overlaps with my crypto thesis. I highlight why everyone should have exposure to this asset class too… and one of my favorite stocks in the space. [14:15] Frank recently returned from the 2022 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas. Check out his free special report to find out which tech companies every investor should watch in 2022. [21:50] Finally, I share research from a listener who disagreed with my thoughts on China as a short-term investment. [22:25] Enjoyed this episode?

S1 Ep 844How Microsoft's megadeal will launch it into the metaverse
I (Daniel) am behind the mic this week as Frank conducts some boots-on-the-ground research into some of his latest ideas. Microsoft (MSFT) is buying gaming giant Activision Blizzard (ATVI) for around $70 billion. I highlight some details around the merger… Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella's incredible deal-making track record… and how this deal sets up Microsoft to become a massive player in the metaverse trend. [1:35] And Microsoft isn't alone… The world's largest companies are all investing heavily in the metaverse. In fact, Frank just released his 2022 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) watchlist, which includes several stocks set to benefit from this massive growth trend over the coming years. [15:40] I explain why MSFT is a great long-term investment… and why I see a potential arbitrage opportunity in ATVI right now. [16:45] As inflation continues to move higher, so does crude oil—it just hit a seven-year high. I break down the current geopolitical risks to the sector… why investors should brace for oil prices to continue rising… and a few names set to profit from higher crude prices.

S1 Ep 843Three industry titans on inflation… and future market returns
With Frank on a boots-on-the-ground research trip, I (Daniel) am behind the mic to cover today's top headlines. Earnings season is officially underway. I share my thoughts on the latest results from JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs, and Delta Airlines… and what they tell us about the macro environment. [2:12] Focusing on Delta, I explain why CEO Ed Bastian's recent comments are positive for the economy. [4:33] BlackRock CEO Larry Fink talked to CNBC about inflation, earnings season, and why he expects market gains to be muted going forward. I highlight why it's important for investors to manage expectations accordingly. [10:07] Hedge fund titan Bill Ackman took to Twitter to express his views on how the Fed should approach inflation. I break down why the Fed is in a tough position as it tries to balance economic needs with market concerns. [14:48] Enjoyed this episode?

S1 Ep 842'The Mooch' unplugged
The one and only Anthony "The Mooch" Scaramucci—renowned investment banker and former White House Director of Communications—joins me to discuss the volatility and opportunity in Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. Listen as Anthony gives a macro view on Bitcoin… why El Salvador's recent adoption of the crypto as a national currency is a huge breakthrough… and how the current crypto market reminds him of the early days of Amazon. [1:40] He explains why cryptos are great for society… and how investors should think about allocating money to the space. [8:00] In addition to Bitcoin and Ethereum, Anthony shares another crypto catching his attention (which also happens to be a Crypto Intelligence holding)... and why he's bullish on the massive opportunity in the metaverse. [15:35] Anthony also explains why he believes Bitcoin will hit $500,000 by 2025. [23:00] You probably know of Anthony not just for his prestige as an investor… but also because for the 11 days he served under former President Trump (before ultimately advising a Republican super-PAC to oppose Trump's reelection). Anthony gives his take on political bipartisanship… and the structural changes he'd like to see implemented throughout the government. [29:50] And, as a native New Yorker, Anthony shares why he's excited about the city's newly elected mayor, Eric Adams. [38:30] Enjoyed this episode?

S1 Ep 841This CEO is the most powerful person in crypto
I'm back from the 2022 Consumer Electronics Show (CES)... and you might not believe some of the wild tech I saw showcased—from microchips for sexual health… to flying cars… to a thumb-sucking stuffed animal (as in… it sucks YOUR thumb). To see some of this tech yourself, check out my updates from the show on TikTok, YouTube, and our CES 2022 Timeline. [0:30] Inflation is at its highest level in 40 years… but the markets seem to be taking it in stride. Daniel and I discuss the market narrative around inflation—including JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon's recent comments on the strength of the economy and consumer debt levels. [9:00] I share a great lesson on how to think about debt—based on a popular company that's unfairly criticized for its debt. [11:40] Daniel shares why he's looking to "boring" companies for the current market environment… Speaking of which, today's Curzio Research Advisory recommendation is one of my favorite "boring" companies… but its growth story is more exciting than you might think. [15:53] With Bitcoin bouncing higher after dipping below $40,000, I'm more bullish than ever for crypto. That said, you've got to mitigate risk and manage the inherent volatility of the crypto markets. In Crypto Intelligence, for example, we use smaller position sizes to build exposure over time. Daniel and I discuss one of our favorite portfolio holdings… and why I believe the company's CEO is the most powerful person in crypto. [24:25] I close by pounding the table on why you must educate yourself on the crypto industry… and why Crypto Intelligence is the best way to do it. [31:00]
S1 Ep 840The best and worst of CES 2022
What a great and busy start to the year… I just returned from the 2022 Consumer Electronics Show (CES 2022)... and today, I'll highlight the best and worst companies that showcased at the event. [0:30] But first, Goldman Sachs just increased its prediction for the number of interest rate hikes we'll see this year as the Federal Reserve attempts to control inflation… I pound the table on why inflation is the biggest risk to the markets today… the single, painful solution I see for the Fed… and how to start protecting your portfolio NOW. [1:30] Cryptos are also seeing a lot of volatility, with Bitcoin dropping from $60,000 to around $40,000 over the past month or so. I explain why the pullback is creating a great buying opportunity. [7:50] Turning to CES, while Omicron had an obvious impact on the number of attendees (several companies ended up canceling last-minute)... there were still plenty of amazing products being showcased—like BMW's new electric vehicle (EV), which I got to test-drive. [9:20] One of the biggest themes of the event was the "metaverse." While the whole concept is still somewhat ambiguous… the biggest companies—including Apple, Google, Facebook, and Microsoft—are already making big moves into the trend. [20:00] But two companies really stole the show… and I believe one device in particular will become my personal favorite product of the year. [25:50] Finally, a new cross-industry alliance is a huge deal for the smart home trend. [29:20] Check out our YouTube, TikTok, and the CES 2022 Timeline for all of my deep-dive updates from this year's event. Enjoyed this episode?

S1 Ep 839This 'adults-only' trend is creating a stir at CES 2022
As many of you know, Frank is in Las Vegas this week attending the 2022 Consumer Electronic Show (CES 2022). In the meantime, I (Daniel) am taking over the mic. A recent report highlighted why Americans are "unhappy" with the handling of the COVID pandemic. But it does indicate a positive shift for the economy—and the markets. [2:17] I've been critical of Jim Cramer in the past… but credit where it's due. Cramer recently made a strong argument about the risks we face from China. I explain why I'd steer clear of China as a long-term investment… but it might make a good trade in the short term. [10:15] With inflation set to ramp up this year, I highlight several "boring" stocks that are set to benefit from an inflationary environment. [17:35] Finally, I share a few updates from Frank on the most dominant tech trends showcasing at CES 2022… including one that's "adults only." [21:46] For CES updates, including interviews with tech leaders and potential stock ideas, you can follow Frank on TikTok, YouTube, and on Curzio's CES 2022 timeline. Enjoyed this episode?

S1 Ep 838The company that stole the show at CES media day
While Frank is in Las Vegas at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES), I (Daniel Creech), will be your podcast host the next couple of days. I start with a quick recap of this year's crazy holiday travel environment… and what I saw on my trip home to Ohio. [1:55] Turning to the markets, I break down the 2021 results and highlight some of the best-performing sectors. And I share my thoughts on which areas will lead the way as inflation continues this year. [4:00] Healthcare stocks did great in 2021. But the current legislation in D.C. could push a lot more money into the sector… [9:40] Next, I recap the Fed's plan to raise interest rates in the coming months. I tell you how to prepare for a massive shift that's about to happen… and a potential surge in volatility. [12:00] The coronavirus continues to make headlines, with the Omicron variant causing a spike in new cases. I break down the shifting media narrative around COVID over the past year… and the changes in quarantine policy from the CDC. It's a frustrating situation for investors, but there are reasons for optimism. [15:30] Before forming an opinion about the coronavirus, I highlight two interviews you should listen to… [20:45] Finally, I share some updates from Frank's first day at CES, including why he's ticked off at some major companies… the one megatrend everyone is talking about… and one tech player that stole the show. [23:10]
S1 Ep 837The companies to watch at CES 2022
Happy New Year! I just touched down in Vegas for the annual Consumer Electronics Show (CES 2022). This conference is one reason I love the month of January for finding ideas. [0:30] Some companies have cancelled plans to attend CES 2022 because of Omicron. But thousands of others will still be showcasing new technology. I have a lot of meetings and interviews lined up… and because of this podcast, and my wonderful listeners, I get a media badge and special access to this incredible event. [3:00] There are a few companies I especially want to research at this year's event—including some that may surprise you… [5:40] Daniel will be behind the mic for the rest of the week while I attend CES. But I'll be reporting my boots-on-the-ground research to him to share with you. I'll also be posting live updates on TikTok and YouTube. If you're not using TikTok yet, here's why it's my favorite social media platform... [8:15] I recap last year's virtual CES… and one more reason I'm excited for this year's event: It will include a lot of crypto and blockchain companies. [15:20] My show schedule will be hectic, but if you're attending, reach out to me. I'd love to meet up and discuss ideas.
S1 Ep 836An iconic brand lost its way… Here's how it can get back on track
As inflation keeps surging, I break down why I'm bullish on oil for 2022… and several ways you can gain exposure to the space. [0:40] Turning to crypto, I highlight why Bitcoin will continue to go much higher—and why its limited supply is good for investors. [7:08] It's the end of an era for Disney (DIS) as executive chairman and former CEO Bob Iger is stepping down. I explain why the company is in a difficult spot… and what it should do to get back on track. [21:45] A few housekeeping notes: There won't be a podcast next week, as the Curzio team takes time off for the holidays. Be sure to check out the amazing sale we're offering: 66% off products for all investors—like my flagship newsletter, Curzio Research Advisory… and 50% off elite services like Moneyflow Trader—the perfect strategy for today's risky market.

S1 Ep 835My favorite—and least favorite—large-cap stocks for 2022
I went to the movie theater last night to see Spider-Man: No Way Home… and it was absolutely packed. I highlight what that says about Omicron (and a few new trailers that have me excited). [0:30] But today's show is all about answering your most asked questions… Why did I choose to list the Curzio Equity Owners (CEO) token on tZERO instead of another platform like Coinbase? What's the difference between exchanges that trade utility tokens vs. security tokens? And tZERO's huge advantage when it comes to the latter... [3:05] What's the best trade of my career? I share a couple of my big winners—from energy to crypto… and why most investors should focus on investing vs. trading. I also go over the incredible opportunities you can find with private placements. (By the way, members of our most elite club, Curzio One, have had the chance to get into several of these exclusive deals.) [15:12] Finally, what are my favorite—and least favorite—large-cap stocks for 2022? [26:26] And… we have several incredible deals for you to end the year—including a 50% discount on our entire library of products. [36:40] Enjoyed this episode?

S1 Ep 8345 trends EVERY investor must have exposure to in 2022
The market is more volatile than ever, with the average U.S. stock down 25% from its highs. This is mostly due to the uncertainty behind the Fed's future interest rate hikes and Omicron. [0:25] I explain why this volatility will be the norm in 2022… and how investors can make a fortune by following one simple investment strategy. [2:28] Turning to your questions… I highlight why gold will finally start to outperform the stock market… despite the Fed aggressively raising rates next year. [5:50] A listener wants to understand why his portfolio is getting crushed, despite major indices sitting just off their highs. [11:50] Then, I break down why the non-fungible token (NFT) trend is still in its infancy… and how this market is set to expand beyond digital artwork and collectibles. [18:05] Finally, I share the top 5 trends everyone should have exposure to… especially if they want to outperform the market over the next 12–24 months. [31:40] Enjoyed this episode?

S1 Ep 833My conversation with a leader in digital securities
tZERO is the leader in digital securities trading… It's also where our Curzio Equity Owners (CEO) token will begin trading soon… And today, Solomon Tesfaye, the head of business development and capital markets at tZERO, joins the show to share where the industry is headed as adoption accelerates. [0:30] We discuss the evolution (and steep learning curve) of capital-raising in the sector—from initial coin offerings (ICOs) to security token offerings (STOs)... and why the latter will continue to see massive growth. [1:35] In September, crypto wallet provider Exodus began trading on the tZERO platform… successfully raising capital through a Reg A offering. Solomon explains why this is a huge deal for the industry—and individual investors. [4:45] Next, he breaks down tZERO's extensive security token pipeline—from real estate to mining to tech to healthcare… how the firm is partnering with institutional investors… and its work with regulators—with a goal to bring stocks and digital assets onto a single platform. [7:25] We wrap our interview with Solomon's predictions for the industry over the next three years. [16:35] By the way, you'll need to open an account on tZERO in order to trade the CEO token (don't worry, it's super easy). [21:05] We're ending the year with several special offers—including one for Crypto Intelligence. Even with the pullback in crypto, our average position is still up over 800%... Plus, the recent price declines create some great entry points to start scaling into positions. [23:17] We'll also be releasing a special offer on Moneyflow Trader soon… Guys, this product is absolutely critical in today's market. There's a fundamental shift taking place… We're in one of the most leveraged markets in history—and the Fed must start raising rates to combat the current inflation crisis. In other words, it can't keep throwing money at this problem. And we'll continue to see massive volatility heading into 2022.

S1 Ep 832Are you ready for 11 straight interest rate hikes?
Christmas season is here… and I love this time of year—not just for the holidays, but because I get to attend the annual Consumer Electronics Show (CES) held in Las Vegas every January. Be sure to follow me on TikTok by January 5 to get my most important updates on CES 2022… including the latest tech set to take the world by storm. [0:35] After finally admitting inflation isn't transitory during last month's policy meeting, the Federal Reserve has some difficult decisions to make as it gathers for its final meeting of the year… One investment bank is predicting nearly a dozen rate hikes over the next three years. While Daniel and I have different takes, we do agree: The Fed must act aggressively… Here's what that means for 2022 market conditions. [4:25] Last week, executives from six large crypto firms appeared on Capitol Hill for a hearing on the future of crypto regulation. Daniel explains why the hearing has him more bullish on crypto than ever. [15:45] Pfizer (PFE) released positive results for its COVID pill. This is, of course, great news—but it doesn't mean COVID is going away… [22:45] Finally, Daniel and I each share a stock we're excited about for 2022. [26:35] Enjoyed this episode?

S1 Ep 8312022 forecasts call for huge volatility… Here's how to play it
As we near the end of 2021, investment banks are making predictions for 2022… and they're calling for volatility. Paying attention to these predictions can give you a massive edge in the markets. [0:30] Now, we all know consensus predictions aren't always accurate—take the early forecasts on COVID, for instance. You've got to be willing to question the "status quo"... and invest accordingly. [2:00] I list several companies poised to continue growing regardless of volatility in 2022. [5:00] Speaking of predictions, I share my expectations for interest rate hikes next year… and why investors should prepare for some large pullbacks in the market. [8:15] Another factor adding to the uncertainty for next year: inflation. I break down why Genia Turanova's Moneyflow Trader strategy is my favorite way to hedge against downside risk… while still profiting from market momentum. [18:10] Turning to questions… a listener wants to know how we plan to keep investors updated once our Curzio Equity Owners (CEO) token begins trading on tZERO. I share why I'm strongly committed to transparency… and the steps we're taking to ensure we always remain that way. [21:40] Finally, what are my favorite sectors for 2022? I highlight more of my favorite ways to position for next year... including the sectors where I'm seeing enormous momentum and innovation. [24:22] Enjoyed this episode?

S1 Ep 830These companies are rewarding shareholders in a major way
Hey guys—Frank is traveling today, so I (Daniel) am taking the reins. [0:15] Pfizer (PFE) announced positive news about its vaccine booster shots. I share my take… and why the current macro picture makes Pfizer a good buy. [2:08] Mike Novagratz, CEO of Galaxy Digital, spoke with CNBC about what to expect from institutional buyers in the crypto space… and it's great news for the asset class. He also explained why ethereum could outperform bitcoin as inflation moves higher… [7:40] Finally, I highlight my method for finding quality stocks… and a few catching my attention for rewarding shareholders in a big way...

S1 Ep 829This 10x crypto winner is still a screaming buy
We've been seeing some wild volatility in the markets over the last week… and the Fed's change of tune on inflation is at least partially responsible. Daniel and I share why inflation is the worst enemy of the markets… why the Fed must raise rates to fight it… and whether we think they'll actually do it. [0:30] It's not just stocks experiencing volatility—bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies also dropped a quick 20% in just a few days. I explain why you shouldn't worry about what crypto critics have to say… why you need to look further down the road when it comes to digital assets... and why you should scale into crypto positions. [8:28] Silvergate Capital (SI)—a bank focused on the crypto industry—raised additional capital this week. This stock is up over 1,200% for Crypto Intelligence members… but it's still an incredible buy at current levels. [16:10] Former President Trump's new special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) is stirring the pot on social media. Daniel and I break down the drama… and whether there's a legitimate investment thesis behind the headlines. [21:05] Finally, the U.S. announced a diplomatic boycott of the Winter Olympics in China. We discuss why this isn't as big of a deal as it's being made out to be… and the best way to get exposure to China. [25:38] Enjoyed this episode?

S1 Ep 828The "Goldilocks" economy is officially over
I have a serious message in today's podcast: Prepare for a tough 2022 in the stock market. In just the past week, we've seen wild swings in the markets over Omicron concerns, surging inflation, and Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell changing his tune on whether inflation is transitory. [0:40] The bottom line is that the "Goldilocks" conditions for a bull market—record low interest rates and trillions in government stimulus—are over. We're in unprecedented times… and the only choice the Fed has to fight inflation is going to result in a bumpy ride for stocks. [5:40] We're already seeing volatility around the expectation of rising interest rates. I highlight many stocks well off their highs.... and why you should expect more volatility going forward. [8:00] Next, I explain why the Fed's money printing tactics were successful during the 2008-2009 financial crisis... and why that playbook won't work this time. [12:10] It's not all doom and gloom, though. I share some sectors and stocks that will continue to do well as we learn to live with the coronavirus and its variants. [15:35] My advice is to be careful and look to protect yourself. And one of the best ways to do that is with our Moneyflow Trader newsletter, edited by Genia Turanova. Her recommended hedges can save a portfolio during a downturn. [18:18] In addition to hedging, you want to own quality stocks… especially those in massive growth trends. Curzio Research Advisory members will learn all about an exciting new trend—and my favorite way to play it—in tomorrow's issue. [23:00] Turning to questions… After a terrible quarter, a listener wants to know if I think DocuSign (DOCU) is a buy... along with my take on gold stocks. [25:05] Speaking of gold... Do investors have to choose between gold or cryptocurrencies? [29:00] Enjoyed this episode?

S1 Ep 8273 secrets to finding a 100x winner
Chris Mayer, author of 100 Baggers: Stocks That Return 100-to-1 and How to Find Them and fan-favorite guest, is back. Last time Chris was on the podcast, he recommended Texas Pacific Land (TPL)... which is now up over 150% for Dollar Stock Club members. [0:30] Today, he returns to the show to discuss recent winners, current market conditions, and small-cap opportunities. [2:25] As markets near all-time highs and inflation ramps up, listen to how Chris still finds great ideas. [4:00] Turning to emerging markets, Chris explains why overseas companies tend to be cheap compared to U.S. stocks—and whether it makes sense to invest across the border. [7:00] Next, Chris highlights the research that went into his book… and the 3 characteristics of companies that become 100-baggers. [12:45] We discuss the changes we've seen in the markets during our careers… the importance of balancing growth with profits... and the rise of passive investing. [24:00] Chris also shares his favorite way to gain exposure to the exciting crypto space… [27:00] And of course, he names a few stocks he likes right now. [31:30] Finally, I explain why Luke Downey is the Michael Jordan of options trading… why I'm incredibly proud of his new options advisory, Big Money Trader… and how he makes the strategy easy for anyone to understand—and follow.

S1 Ep 826The era of 'easy' money is about to come to an end
Fed Chair Jerome Powell finally admitted inflation isn't transitory… and his change of tune shook the markets. Daniel and I give our take on Powell's comments and the market selloff that followed. The Fed's new stance marks the beginning of the end for the easy money policies we've seen since the start of the pandemic. We highlight several sectors and companies that will thrive… as well as ones that will suffer… as the Fed implements new policies to fend off inflation. Rising inflation—not to mention the new COVID variant, Omicron—will mean more volatility in the coming weeks and months. Daniel shares a handful of "boring" stocks that investors should consider as we prepare for a shaky market. We still don't have a lot of data around Omicron... Yet, governments and markets are already overreacting. And individual investors can use these overblown fears to their advantage. Jim Cramer recently made some alarming comments about using the military to enforce vaccines. Prepare for a rant... Enjoyed this episode?

S1 Ep 825How to prepare for the Omicron circus
So much for a relaxing Thanksgiving break… Markets sold off on news of the new COVID variant, Omicron, and volatility is soaring. I expect both the media and the government to overreact… But don't worry: In today's show, I lay out what you need to know—and do—in the coming weeks to prepare your portfolio. [0:30] While we still don't know much about Omicron, countries around the world are already restricting travel. I highlight the dangers of governments reacting prematurely… what we currently know about the new variant… and how the narrative has changed around vaccines. [7:25] I also explain why the market selloff we're seeing is illogical… and how the media and big business—especially Big Pharma—use fear to make profits. [13:00] But volatility leads to opportunities... Here's what investors should be focused on as we prepare for the Omicron circus. [21:30] Fed Chair Jerome Powell testified on Capitol Hill today regarding the country's economic outlook—including ongoing inflationary pressures. I break down the huge mistake the Fed continues to make… why inflation isn't priced into this market… and why we need to be prepared for it to get much worse before it gets better. [31:40] Finally, I explain why Genia Turanova's Moneyflow Trader strategy is the perfect way to hedge today's market risks—and why I personally follow it with my own money.

S1 Ep 824America's blue-collar crisis could crush the economy
Today we welcome back one of our most downloaded—and controversial—guests of all time... Kristin Tate, author of The Liberal Invasion of Red State America, is back on the podcast to discuss public policy, culture, and cryptos. [1:35] During the COVID lockdowns, as businesses shifted to remote work, we saw a huge migration of people out of big cities and into more suburban and rural parts of the country. But Kristin says the shift had been taking place long before COVID forced the push forward. She explains why big cities will never return to the major corporate and cultural hubs they once were. [2:38] For instance, New York City's newly elected Mayor Eric Adams has a mission: convince former residents to return to the Big Apple. Kristin highlights why he's unlikely to succeed. [6:00] You've undoubtedly heard of the Kyle Rittenhouse trial… It's just another example of how everything is politicized today—drawing a hard line between conservatives and liberals. We discuss how moderates are getting sick of the narrative… [12:15] If you're traveling for the holidays, Kristin lays out a few issues that could wreak havoc on your plans... [16:35] And as we face labor shortages—especially in certain blue-collar industries—she reveals the cultural issues behind the problem. [21:00] Next, Kristin gives her thoughts on who will win big during next November's midterm elections… and how she expects politicians to double-down with their respective voter bases. [23:40] Turning to crypto, Kristin shares her own holdings… and why she's bullish on the asset class in the short term, but bearish over the much longer term... [26:30] Finally, Kristin gives us a glimpse into her next book… and the role she's playing in Texas' upcoming political race. [32:10] Enjoyed this episode?

S1 Ep 823How to profit from Biden's destruction of America
With a short holiday week, we're changing up the format a bit… so no monologue today. But I have an exciting—and controversial—interview for you tomorrow (hint: It's one of our most downloaded guests of all time). [0:35] I love this time of year… It means I get to look forward to the annual Consumer Electronics Show (CES), held in Las Vegas in January. Here's how I'm preparing… [3:05] Following another great quarter from Dick's Sporting Goods, Daniel and I debate whether now is a good time to buy the stock. [3:55] Best Buy also reported solid earnings… yet it's trading over 10% lower. I share why, despite strong results, many retailers are in a tough position compared to this time last year. [6:35] Keeping with retail, Daniel explains why he's more bullish than ever on Amazon, Target, and Walmart… and why last week's selloff in the latter two names isn't anything to worry about. [12:20] Markets are near all-time highs and many growth companies are sporting huge valuations (electric truck maker Rivian comes to mind)... But when it comes to growth stocks, you can't just focus on valuation—I learned this lesson myself with Netflix and Tesla. [20:40] Big news came out of the oil sector this week: The U.S. announced it would be releasing 50 million barrels of oil from its strategic petroleum reserves (SPR) to help fight higher prices. Prepare for a rant: The Biden Administration is making a huge mistake in terms of national security… and it could lead to the destruction of the U.S. economy. [26:35] That said, as we know… there's a way to profit in any market. And Daniel shares two names set to benefit on the news. [34:50] And finally, if you haven't heard yet, Luke Downey's Big Money Trader has officially launched. Here's how Luke's options strategy can help you make the most of the market's sudden moves.

S1 Ep 822From stock-picking monkeys to security tokens: A 40-year history of Curzio Research
Today's guest is someone you may have talked to personally: my sister, Christine Curzio. She's head of human resources and customer service here at Curzio Research (among the many other hats she wears). Customers don't typically call when things are going great. Most often, they call when there's a fire to put out. Christine shares some of the wildest issues we've faced at Curzio... and how we implement our mission of always doing right by you, the customer. [1:25] Now, customer service isn't all negative stories... Christine highlights some great feedback she's received from folks looking out for us. [5:28] But if you're thinking, "the customer is always right," well… think again. We explain why you've got to protect your brand and employees… and even be willing to part ways with customers under certain circumstances. [7:28] We reminisce about the old days working with our late father... and break down the major industry changes we've seen over the years—like the advent of security tokens. And Christine shares a funny story involving our dad competing against a stock-picking monkey. [10:05] We also share some amazing gifts we've received from customers… [17:40] Finally, Christine lays out some key "backend" factors and growing pains that every business owner should be aware of… and how to adapt.

S1 Ep 821Big Money Trader: Your ticket to trade the world's best growth stocks
Yes, Elon… Sanders is still alive. If you haven't heard the latest drama surrounding Tesla CEO Elon Musk's Twitter account, he and Senator Bernie Sanders exchanged jabs this week over the two things humans can't escape: death and taxes. Daniel and I share a laugh over the spat. [1:06] The end of earnings season means the release of 13Fs... where the largest money managers disclose what they bought and sold during the previous quarter. As Peloton shares tumbled this quarter, Viking Global—a popular hedge fund—scooped up millions of shares… We speculate whether it's already unloaded shares for a loss. [4:20] 13Fs can be a great place to find new ideas… Daniel highlights a couple of new names he discovered that he's now digging into… And I point out what caught my attention in big tech. [11:18] The price of bitcoin dropped 10% overnight... and other cryptos are following suit. Here's the best way for investors to handle the volatility… (It's how we manage our Crypto Intelligence portfolio, which currently holds 5 quadruple-digit winners.) [21:51] Finally, I explain why Luke Downey's Big Money Trader—launching today!—is the easiest way to maximize your returns on the best growth opportunities in the market.

S1 Ep 820The easiest way to lose $1 million in the stock market
AMC is currently trading over $40 per share… Yet, one analyst note I recently read is calling for a target price of $1 on the stock. The company may have seemed left for dead following the COVID lockdowns… but it's made some impressive strides over the past year. Today, I explain why this analyst's way of thinking is the easiest way to lose millions in the stock market. [0:40] Is the supply chain crisis "fake news"? One listener says he's not seeing any shortages on the shelves while shopping. I break down why the supply chain crisis doesn't impact every company the same way… but it's very real, especially in specific sectors. [23:25] After a slow start to 2021 for security tokens, the market is picking up as we approach the end of the year. A listener wants my take on the industry's progress and what to expect in the coming months. I highlight several exciting updates in the space… including a coming Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC) regulation that will be a major tailwind for security tokens. [30:55] Finally, Luke Downey's Big Money Trader launches this week. Here's what it can do for your portfolio… [34:30] ---- Enjoyed this episode?

S1 Ep 819Invest alongside 'the Tom Brady of mining'
Gold hasn't been a particularly exciting asset class recently… but that's quickly changing. Gold prices are approaching their six-month highs… near $1,900 per ounce. And Ed Karr—former chairman of U.S. Gold Corp. and fan-favorite guest—predicts the price will hit $3,000 next year. Today, he's back on the show to discuss current market conditions—including two factors that will lead to a rally in gold prices. [1:30] Listen as Ed shares some positive news—and a huge catalyst—for his company, U.S. Gold, and what investors should expect over the coming months… including a major under-the-radar boost from the infrastructure bill. [10:00] Ed's built an incredible team at U.S. Gold… and he recently turned over the reins to CEO George Bee. He recounts George's successes… and explains why he's excited to see a man he describes as "the Tom Brady of mining" in the driver's seat. [20:45] One thing I love about Ed is he isn't your typical goldbug… Today, he shares why he's bullish on crypto… and what he expects as this innovative asset class matures over the next several years.

S1 Ep 818Why Ford made a huge mistake with Rivian
Tesla CEO Elon Musk is once again making headlines, polling his Twitter followers about whether to sell billions' worth of Tesla stock. Daniel and I discuss the drama around the famously polarizing CEO... and whether investors should pay attention to his latest tweet storm. [1:00] Keeping with the theme of electric vehicles (EVs), electric pickup maker Rivian begins trading today… and the numbers are absolutely crazy. I explain what this says about current market conditions… and why Ford made a huge mistake investing in this rival. [8:05] Crypto exchange Coinbase reported weak earnings this week. While I have some concerns around this company… Daniel makes a case for why investors should buy the stock at current levels. [17:30] Musk wasn't the only one causing a stir on social media this week… Daniel and I wade into Pfizer's Twitter meme drama… and the uproar over Aaron Rodgers' vaccination status. [27:00] In Curzio Research Advisory, I just updated Amazon from a hold to a buy.
