Wall Street Unplugged - What's Really Moving These Markets

My friend and colleague Luke Downey—editor of The Big Money Report here at Curzio Research—joins the show to help me make a big announcement... [1:35] But first, Luke shares the story of how he began following the "Big Money"—the growth stock strategy that helped him retire from Wall Street at 31—and what led him to his latest macro prediction… which proved to be spot on. [2:55] It can be hard to commit to buying growth stocks, since they tend to trade at such high valuations… But Luke says you should look past valuations and focus on three other factors instead… [6:20] If you think it takes big money to follow the "Big Money"... think again. Luke gives two examples of how he turned two small positions into massive gains... And shares exactly how he uncovers great ideas like these. [9:05] OK, onto the big announcement… Luke's new options trading advisory, Big Money Trader, is launching soon. Here's what subscribers can expect... [15:20] And if you're not familiar with options, don't worry: Luke explains why these trades don't need to be scary. [24:50] Enjoyed this episode?

Back from a quick trip to Ohio, Daniel shares his latest experience with the airports and traveling. [0:15] We discuss the Virginia governor race… what it says about the current mood in the U.S… and how the results will impact spending bills being negotiated right now. [3:10] We've seen some wild price action in Avis Budget and Bed Bath & Beyond this earnings season. I lay out the reasons behind these parabolic moves... and a critical lesson about shorting stocks. [8:05] Zillow Group's weak Q3 earnings were shortly followed by news that the company would be canceling its artificial intelligence (AI) house-flipping program. Daniel highlights some crazy stats around its real estate… and why you shouldn't get caught up in the euphoria around the housing boom. [16:45] Nike is set to report earnings next month. Daniel and I debate the pros and cons of buying the stock going into the report. [24:25] And finally, we share our thoughts on JPMorgan limiting its clients' ability to buy certain marijuana stocks... and explain why you should be paying attention to Meta—the company previously known as Facebook—now more than ever.

The "great separation" is starting… and if you're not paying attention to it… you're at risk... But first, I'm humbled and grateful that so many of you took advantage of our Crypto Intelligence special offer. Members: Expect a new recommendation to hit your inbox tomorrow! [0:34] I hope you had a great Halloween. Ours was amazing… with tons of families out trick-or-treating in my neighborhood. It was like it's supposed to be. [2:20] Turning to the markets… The major indices are hitting record highs as earnings season winds down. I share what stood out the most as I went through the latest results. And I break down the "great separation" I'm seeing in certain industries. [7:40] It's been over 18 months since the COVID lows… and the markets are starting a new chapter. I point out several examples of the "great separation" across industries... including the opposite paths that Intel and AMD are taking… as well as Under Armour and Nike. Plus, I share why Amazon will continue to dominate (even though it pulled back after earnings). [14:10] Speaking of great companies, a listener wants my thoughts on tech giant Nvidia ahead of its earnings report. [19:50] Our last question comes from an older investor who's getting into crypto… and wants to know about taxable gains. I dig into the details a bit… and explain why stable coins can be especially useful when you're juggling different trading platforms. [27:36] Enjoyed this episode?

The security token market is seeing some exciting changes… Kyle Sonlin, CEO at Security Token Market, joins the show to share what's changed in the space over the last year—including clearer insights on regulatory issues. [1:15] Speaking of regulatory breakthroughs, Kyle also explains why recent changes to the Securities & Exchange Commission's (SEC) Regulation A is creating incredible momentum for security tokens [4:00]... and what needs to happen for this industry to scale in a massive way. [9:30] Plus, Kyle highlights some great companies leading the way in tokenization… explains the services his own company provides… and shares his plans for raising money from investors. [12:00] Miami is becoming a big town for crypto. Kyle analyzes why all the talent in the space seems to be moving to southern Florida... [16:20] Finally, we break down why tokenization makes sense for businesses and investors... and a few companies in particular that could benefit. [19:10] Enjoyed this episode?

Robinhood just reported a terrible quarter. Prepare for a rant at the end of the show… But first, let's look at some other company earnings… Some of the biggest names in tech have reported—and Daniel and I discuss which companies are separating themselves from the pack. [1:20] Next, a company Daniel's been bullish on reported a bad quarter. Daniel breaks down what he got wrong about the tech leader... why the stock dropped 10%... and one post-earnings silver lining. [4:18] While Facebook and Twitter both reported incredible earnings… their stocks pulled back on the news. Is now a good time to buy these social media giants? [9:15] Speaking of Facebook, the company has some impressive goals for building out the "metaverse." Investors need to pay attention and keep an open mind about this coming megatrend. [14:15] When it comes to successful investing, one of the best strategies is to invest in smart people with strong convictions. There are some you just don't bet against—like Mark Zuckerberg, Jack Dorsey, and Elon Musk. [19:50] Finally, Robinhood is doing the exact opposite of what its name stands for...

Earnings season is in full swing... and some of the largest companies report this week. I highlight a few winners and losers—like Tesla, Facebook, UPS, and Intel—and the most important characteristics to pay attention to as companies report. [0:40] Gold—which has been out of favor for some time—is quietly moving higher… and conditions are perfect for certain stocks to explode from current levels. [3:05] As cryptocurrencies continue towards new highs… the biggest story in the space this week has been the partnership between Mastercard and crypto payments network Bakkt—which will bring bitcoin access to more than two million people. [5:25] Next, I share some exciting news in the security token industry... and how investors can take advantage of this multitrillion-dollar opportunity. [12:20] Plus, I recap an incredible offer on my Crypto Intelligence advisory—including how to lock in a free crypto pick. [20:50] Crypto exchange Exodus recently began trading on tZERO. I give my take on the recent price action in Exodus and explain why both companies have bright futures... Plus, I share a simple rule to keep emotions—and your portfolio—in check. [26:00] Finally, with several Crypto Intelligence recommendations trading on different exchanges, a subscriber wants to know why I typically only discuss a few. This is a great question and it's nothing personal... I break down some of the features of different exchanges… and my goal to get as many people into the space as possible.

Historically, multimillion-dollar artwork has only been available to the highest level of social elites… But a new company is bringing priceless works of art to the average investor—and disrupting a $1.7 trillion industry in the process… Scott Lynn, co-founder and CEO of Masterworks, shares how his firm gives anyone the chance to invest in multimillion-dollar artwork through securitization. [2:20] When you're first to market—especially with a brilliant idea—there's always a risk of copy-cat competitors... But Scott breaks down the hard work and regulatory hurdles a company would have to go through to offer a similar service. [4:40] He also explains how fine art can enhance a diversified portfolio... highlights some impressive returns over the past two decades compared to the S&P 500… and gives us a walkthrough of the website—including how it picks artwork… and its unique secondary market. [6:50] Of note… when he was still in high school, Scott created the most popular internet game of the late '90s. Today he shares that story. [14:00] Finally, I share why I'm most excited about the security token market from a macro perspective… and highlight an incredible special offer for my Crypto Intelligence advisory—including how to lock in a free crypto pick.

Earnings season is well underway… Netflix just reported solid earnings and continues to gain subscribers. Daniel and I discuss the streaming giant's new hit show, Squid Game, and how the company continues to be the king of great content. [2:00] United Airlines also reported a strong quarter... and foresees a coming bottom to COVID impacts. This is great news as travel returns to pre-pandemic levels. [8:40] In other airline news, Southwest decided to back off vaccine mandates. Daniel explains why this issue goes beyond airlines… and how mandates can hurt local economies. [10:40] Facebook has chosen Coinbase to roll out its crypto wallet, Novi. Daniel shares why he's bullish on the social media giant despite not being a fan of its services. [22:05] Bitcoin hit a fresh all-time high today. The news comes on the heels of the launch of the ProShares Bitcoin Strategy ETF (BITO), which began trading this week. I explain why I expect the momentum to continue—and whether you should buy BITO. [25:45] Next, I break down some data on why supply chain issues will continue to cause stress across the economy—particularly in one sector. [29:58] I also share some quick thoughts on Procter & Gamble's strong earnings. [33:55] And finally, there's never been a better time to get into the crypto space. And with the special offer we just released TODAY for my Crypto Intelligence advisory… you can lock in a free crypto pick. [35:16] Enjoyed this episode?

There are always risks when it comes to investing… I touch on the major ones we're dealing with today. [0:30] But with risk comes opportunity… and we're seeing big winners across our publications as a result—especially in these three sectors. [4:00] I highlight a few recent picks from our Curzio Research Advisory and The Dollar Stock Club newsletters you should be paying attention to. [5:47] There's one asset class on my radar that's in a league of its own. I break down why it's creating some of the best opportunities I've ever seen for retail investors. Plus, our Crypto Intelligence advisory has been killing it lately… And I want to give all of my listeners a chance to get in on it. So, I'm putting together a special limited-time discount. [10:45] One listener is having problems buying ethereum (ETH) on a popular exchange… and wants advice on where to purchase cryptocurrency. I share a few of my favorite crypto exchanges… and explain how it keeps getting easier for investors to get exposure to this amazing asset class. [24:00] And lastly, what would I tell an investor who can't afford to lose money? While I can't provide personal advice, I'll tell you what I would do if I was in a position where failure is not an option. [26:55] Enjoyed this episode?

Changing things up a bit this week… Daniel returns to discuss current events. We start by going over a bizarre situation involving Southwest Airlines... The airline canceled nearly 2,000 flights over the weekend, blaming it on bad weather. Daniel and I discuss the role vaccine mandates are playing in the disruption. [1:30] Speaking of vaccine mandates, I'm done sugarcoating this: Freedoms are being taken away from individuals here in the U.S. While I'm personally vaccinated, I strongly believe it should be an individual choice… and these mandates will crush our economy. [5:30] Inflation is making it a tough environment for finding ideas. Daniel explains why he's focusing on ESG (environmental, social, and governance). [18:40] With earnings season kicking into full gear, we share what we're most excited about as we dig through earnings results. [28:20] Lastly, if you're looking for an easy way to add crypto to your portfolio, keep an eye out for a special offer I'm putting together for my Crypto Intelligence advisory. We've got some massive winners in the portfolio—I'm talking in the triple and quadruple digits—with more room to run… [32:50]. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Enjoyed this episode?

William Shatner is heading to space! Daniel and I open today's show with some banter about our favorite Shatner roles... and whether we'd go to space for a thrill. [0:40] Earnings season is officially underway... And now is a great time to sift through company reports for the best ideas… We discuss what stood out to us about Delta Airlines' quarterly results... and why this company has a fantastic long-term outlook. [4:10] On JPMorgan's earnings call, CEO Jamie Dimon said he doesn't think supply chains will be a talking point by next year. While I disagree with this, Daniel believes a recent sign is pointing to the bottom of supply chain woes. [8:50] On BlackRock's earnings call, CEO Larry Fink pointed out the obvious—that inflation isn't transitory… and energy prices will continue rising for the foreseeable future. Daniel and I discuss the factors behind rising costs... and why you need to prepare for higher prices across the board. [15:55] And finally, the U.S. is now the leader in bitcoin mining. Daniel explains why this is a great teachable moment about innovation… and yet another example of how cryptos are maturing into a dominant asset class. [27:20] Enjoyed this episode?

The media sells fear to get clicks... And that makes it difficult to sift through the noise and find the truth. I run through a few recent headlines designed to scare the hell out of you… a potential U.S. debt default, China fears, and inflation. [0:30] But amid the fearmongering and government recklessness… bitcoin is poised to benefit. We're still in the early stages of this incredible industry… I expect other countries to follow in El Salvador's footsteps and recognize bitcoin as a legal tender. And 3 new trends within the digital asset space are particularly disrupting Wall Street... [7:30] I have a fun exercise for you: Next time you're at Starbucks, pay with bitcoin. You'll see how easy and cheap it is and why mass adoption is a matter of "when," not "if." [16:45] Cryptocurrencies are the best risk/reward opportunity for individual investors… I explain why you need exposure to this asset class right away. [25:05] Enjoyed this episode?

Andrew Horowitz, president of Horowitz & Company and fan-favorite guest, joins me to discuss the volatile market… and why you shouldn't worry about the debt ceiling debate. [0:46] He explains why investors need to pay attention to who has pricing power this earnings season… and why investors are losing confidence in the Federal Reserve. [4:10] Next, he shares how investors should position themselves for the risks in the market… why supply chains are being disrupted by COVID... and how complications in manufacturing and trucking could lead to an economic slowdown. [7:48] Andrew also gives his thoughts on the Fed's game plan going forward... why the coming "taper" may not mean what most investors think… and why the Fed can't simply print money forever. [11:25] He urges investors to lean toward value stocks... reveals some names that could suffer as the economy reopens… and shares his favorite ideas right now. [18:10] Enjoyed this episode?

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

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

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

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

One of the best things about my job is getting in early on the biggest trends. I recap some of the biggest bull markets we've seen over recent years, from commodities… to crypto… to the Internet of Things (IoT)... and much more. [0:30] Smart investors were able to make life-changing gains off of all of these trends… But there's one I believe will be bigger than any we've ever seen before: environmental, social, and governance (ESG) ordinances to fight climate change. [7:19] I lay out some data on why ESG is set to create one of the biggest investing opportunities we've ever seen in the history of the markets… including how the government is forcing upside. [11:48] And I share several companies set to profit from this trend, ranging from solar companies to automakers… including where I just personally invested $100k. [15:30] Speaking of energy, as the price of uranium moves higher, a subscriber asks if she's missed the window of opportunity.

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

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

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

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

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