With no large organizations to please and no filter on their thoughts, their fundamental approach to investing cuts through the emotion, the hype and the conflicts of Wall Street research, highlighting undervalued stocks where you can invest to generate returns regardless of market direction.

Stephen Weiss has managed capital for legendary investors David Tepper, Steve Cohen and Lee Cooperman, and Cerity Partners CIO Jim Lebenthal has been the investment manager of choice for many wealthy families for over 30 years.

Latest Episodes:

Steve Unchained Dec 21, 2021

Show notes

Steve goes it alone in this episode of Taking It to the Street. Is it a permanent divorce or just a trial separation? With markets in freefall, can Steve see an end to the gloom or is patience still a virtue? And be prepared for a stroll down the seedier side of Wall Street as Steve tells some tales.

Slings & Arrows: Omicron & the Fed Dec 15, 2021

Show notes

It’s another fun and insightful episode with the Odd Couple of Investing. Steve and Jim break down this week’s events that may very well determine how the market acts going forward. Jim, patient as always (or maybe just frozen in awe at Steve’s brilliant comments), reveals the plan for his portfolio which leaves Steve, vocally & euphemistically, shaking his head. There’s also a touch of inside Wall Street as they peel back the curtain on why some analysts do what they do (Hint: it won’t make you money but it will them).

Investing’s Odd Couple Discuss What’s Really Driving the Markets Dec 08, 2021

Show notes

Some compare Steve and Jim to Felix and Oscar but in this episode listeners may conjure up Frazier and Ali instead because even when they agree, they seem to disagree. Tired of being referred to as dinosaurs by the millennials, they show why their views on EVs and crypto are more current than the youngun’s. They both see opportunity but is it in the market overall or just certain stocks?

Buckle Up, the Market’s Wild Ride Has Just Begun Dec 03, 2021

Show notes

Jim mistakes Steve’s zen-like demeanor for anger as they go head-to-head on what took the markets lower and what’s next for stocks. To no one’s surprise, there is a disagreement on direction and investment philosophy, both providing their rationale that will assist you in your decision process. When Jim goes on a tangent about his frustration with Apple, Steve counters by advocating some harsh punishment for certain minivan drivers before disclosing his most recent portfolio moves. Financials, autos, energy, bonds, the economy and more. A special episode to make you think, laugh and, as usual, agree with Steve.

What Goes Up Impacts What Goes Down or Vice-Versa, Maybe Nov 24, 2021

Show notes

Steve and Jim mix it up discussing a whole bunch of topics including those high flying stocks and those in a lower orbit, Jim’s allegiance to khakis, factors that could derail a year-end rally and why one member of this odd couple is maybe staying too long at the energy punch bowl.

Markets; The Aftermath of Earnings Season: As Good As it Gets or Does It Get Better? Nov 18, 2021

Show notes

Steve and Jim mix it up discussing the earnings season, the economy and the Fed and what it means for the markets going forward, drilling down to sectors and highlighting stocks. Jim says he’s not scared but, shockingly, Steve may not believe All In Jim is really going to be All In for much longer. One of the guys believes its okay to speculate, the other is too rigid. And is stock price momentum poised to reverse into a market correction or continue its upward move How do you trade momentum? And what do Rivian and Lucid tell us about the markets? Are they investible or sucker plays? There is so much more.
