ESG investing: Profitable… or Wall Street's latest fad? Mar 24, 2021

Show notes

As stimulus is distributed and the market looks forward, it seems everyone is bullish. But Andrew Horowitz, president and founder of Horowitz & Company and host of The Disciplined Investor, warns that tough year-over-year inflation comparisons are coming up. When it comes to inflation, slowly rising rates are fine… but a quick spike could quickly cause further volatility. We also discuss one of the hottest topics on Wall Street: environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) investing. Is this something investors should be paying attention to… or is it merely the latest Wall Street fad? Andrew explains… And, of course, he shares some of his own favorite ideas right now. [29:27] Speaking of ESG, a research firm has recently placed a sky-high price target on one of the market's favorite companies in the space: Tesla. In today's educational segment, Daniel and I debate the firm's findings. And, as politicians gear up for a multitrillion-dollar infrastructure package, Daniel shares a few names he expects to benefit from the upcoming legislation. [54:19] Enjoyed this episode?

Madness is all around us Mar 17, 2021

Show notes

Heads-up: I don't have a guest this week — he needed to reschedule at the last minute. But don't worry, I still have an exciting show for you today. I kick things off with a rant about COVID-19. Then, Daniel and I discuss the pent-up demand across the board as economies open back up and individuals are flush with stimulus cash. [0:35] Now that the stimulus bill has been passed, we break down the next major piece of legislation the market is looking forward to: infrastructure. We also discuss—and debate—the craziness around non-fungible tokens (NFTs). It's that time of year: March Madness is upon us. As the college basketball tournament kicks off this week, I give a detailed breakdown of how to fill out a winning bracket. [46:39] Enjoyed this episode?

Cancel culture has hit Wall Street Mar 10, 2021

Show notes

A warning to all investors: "Cancel culture" is attacking Wall Street. Nowadays, public opinion changes with the tide… and smart investors know to separate themselves from negativity and stick to their convictions. [00:30] While most goldbugs are negative about anything but gold… Ed Karr, executive chairman of U.S. Gold Corp, is a fan of both the yellow metal and bitcoin. He shares his thoughts on bitcoin's bull run… what's behind the pullback in gold prices… and why he's bullish on both assets long-term. [19:40] Then, Daniel and I discuss the latest stimulus bill… why the market is rallying… and some ideas we like right now. I explain why interest rates won't crash this market… and share a newly public stock I believe will hit $100 billion in valuation. [50:30] Enjoyed this episode?

Why young investors choose bitcoin over gold Mar 03, 2021

Show notes

What a difference a couple of months make… Last time millennial investor (and my nephew) Joe Davide was on the show, he'd been making a lot of money on speculative trades. Now, he's taking some losses as volatility swings in both directions. Joe and I discuss dealing with losses… and the most important lessons for investors of any age. [12:50] Then, Frank Holmes, CEO and chief investment officer at U.S. Global Investors, explains why young investors prefer bitcoin over gold… and why this trend could last for a very long time. Other topics we discuss include: Hive Technologies (Holmes is a chairman) and its record quarter mining cryptos… the airline industry and travel-related stocks… and why one of Holmes' ETFs is set to benefit as the economy reopens. [35:10] Then, Daniel and I examine why analysts are raising earnings estimates, and the effect this could have on stock prices. And we debate the ethics of a new ETF that uses artificial intelligence to scan social media. [1:11:25] Enjoyed this episode?
