When an infrastructure bill passes… sell stocks Sep 22, 2021

Show notes

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?

Why you should be buying China on this pullback Sep 21, 2021

Show notes

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?

What I learned as a fly on the wall among America's political elite Sep 16, 2021

Show notes

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?

[00:50] There are still a lot of unknowns surrounding the new tax plan making its way through Congress... and John lays out the issues it could create for investors. [4:18] Then, he explains why "buy now, pay later" (BNPL)—an exciting new consumer trend we're seeing across sectors—is great for both consumers and companies… [16:10] Finally, John highlights one sector he likes for income investors... and one of his favorite plays on it.

My biggest lesson from 9/11 Sep 14, 2021

Show notes

It was an emotional weekend with the 20th anniversary of 9/11. I remember visiting Ground Zero just a couple of days after the attack... Today, I deliver a heartfelt message about how dramatic events change our lives... [0:14] On a much lighter note, it's been an exciting first week of the football season. I share a couple of sleeper picks to pay attention to... and who I think will win it all. [14:20] You might be surprised to hear that youth club sports weren't hindered by COVID at all…. And this secular growth trend isn't slowing down anytime soon. I share a few of my favorite ways to invest alongside it… and the one risk I see for these investments.

Why the faceoff between Coinbase and the SEC is bullish for cryptos Sep 09, 2021

Show notes

Football season is here... and I'm looking forward to fantasy football. Daniel and I discuss the massive amounts of gambling that will take place this football season. [1:15] Crypto exchange Coinbase is fighting back against threats from the SEC. Prepare for a rant on why the SEC's lawsuit is beyond frustrating… But it could ultimately be bullish for the crypto industry. [4:50] The semiconductor industry continues to suffer from supply strains. I take a small victory lap as automakers finally admit the chip shortage will last much longer than they initially thought. [25:15] And finally, anytime we talk about COVID, we're going to ruffle some feathers. But investors are getting comfortable with the fact that COVID is here forever. And one sector is shaping up to be a no-brainer for making money in the new normal… [33:43] Enjoyed this episode?

The more you know about COVID... the more money you'll make Sep 07, 2021

Show notes

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. It's a frustrating problem, but it's also a great teachable moment about investing. As economies reopen and we adjust to a "new normal," there are a lot of opportunities to take advantage of. Listen as I share some of the best risk/reward setups out there right now... [0:16] I've been bearish on Disney (DIS) for a while now… But a Curzio One member wants to know if my thesis is changing based on the company's new streaming content. [23:47] A Curzio Venture Opportunities member doesn't agree with my bullish call on uranium. He thinks producers can control the market, similar to OPEC and oil. But these sectors are apples and oranges… [28:31] And finally, what profession would I choose if I wasn't building Curzio Research? Don't miss this rant about the jobs that REALLY pay today… and my second passion. [30:55] Enjoyed this episode?

Why uranium has more upside potential than I've ever seen Sep 01, 2021

Show notes

It's the end of an era... sort of. We're rolling out the new Wall Street Unplugged format next week… and listeners can expect some exciting changes. [00:30] If you've been listening to the podcast for any length of time, you're probably familiar with Amir Adnani, founder and CEO of Uranium Energy Corp. Today, Amir explains why, after hitting a five-year high, uranium prices could easily double over the next 12 months… and why he sees more upside potential for uranium than at any other time in his 16-year career. [30:07] Then, as China implements further crackdowns across industries, Daniel and I discuss the risks to individual companies and investors… [1:08:00] Using Zoom's amazing earnings results, we lay out some important lessons for investing in growth stocks… or the kind of stocks Luke recommends in his new advisory, The Big Money Report. [1:21:07] Finally, we look at the impact of the Delta variant on the travel industry. [1:30:15] Enjoyed this episode?

This housing market thesis is B.S. Aug 25, 2021

Show notes

Many experts say the housing market is in a bubble that's about to burst. But this is B.S. My research tells me there's a lot more growth ahead for housing. [00:30] When you think of helium, you probably think of balloons… But David Johnson, CEO of Imperial Helium, explains why the gas is critical to our economy. (Hint: It has a lot more uses than you might think.) [31:33] Then, Daniel and I discuss the blockbuster earnings from Best Buy and Dick Sporting Goods. There are two huge lessons investors should take away from these reports… [1:01:36] Luke Downey's Big Money Report lets the data do the talking. Here's why I couldn't be more excited about our latest product. [1:10:00] We also share what to expect from the Fed meeting in Jackson Hole, Wyoming later this week… And finally, with bitcoin prices back up to $50k, we break down the "new normal" of big players getting into crypto… and a mayor who wants to give free bitcoin to citizens.
