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

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

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 in

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 , I just updated Amazon from a hold to a buy. The move might have surprised members, given Amazon is

Congress has finally passed an infrastructure bill, and it’s now heading to President Biden's desk… Here’s what that means for inflation and supply chain issues... [0:30] Right now, we’re in the best market conditions I’ve ever seen: Stocks are near all-time highs as we come off an excellent earnings season… Bitcoin and gold are both moving higher… But this can’t last forever—especially since the Fed can’t afford to misstep. Here’s how to prepare... [6:40] Just this morning, online gaming platform Roblox reported strong earnings… and the momentum is primed to continue. This incredible company gives investors exposure to what will become one of the most important trends of our lifetime...

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 t

[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.

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 bac

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.

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

  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

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 , 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

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 do

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.

[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

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.

[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 ex

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.

[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.

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 soo

It’s been a crazy several months here at Curzio Research. (If you haven’t heard, our 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
