Stansberry Investor Hour

This week, we've brought back Stansberry Venture Technology editor Dave Lashmet. Dave mines the markets for lucrative opportunities in publicly traded, small-cap companies. A typical "diamond in the rough" might pioneer a revolutionary new drug or technology. These early-stage innovators can potentially change the world for the better – and rake in outsized gains for investors. And the best part about investing in these kinds of companies lies in their resilience to bear markets like today's... Dave rejoins us today with a special look into some of the most promising new trends in the biotech space. You'll hear about a leader in robotic surgery... cutting-edge radiation therapy that Dave has been tracking for several years... new breakthroughs in cancer treatment... and the true story – one that leaves Dan momentarily speechless – of a man who overcame life-changing, traumatic injuries to become a crusader for patient rights.

We're excited to share today's guest's take on the markets – especially following his April 2020 appearance on the show when the market was clawing its way back up from its March 23 bottom. This week, Dan welcomes back Mitchel Krause to Stansberry Investor Hour. Mitchel is the managing principal, chief commercial officer, and founder of Other Side Asset Management, an investment firm focused on capital preservation, risk management, and transparency. A 20-plus-year veteran of the financial services industry, he has served as first vice president at Stifel and Ryan Beck & Co. Mitchel was last on the show in April 2020... not long before Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell admitted the central bank had "crossed a lot of red lines" with its aggressive emergency measures during the pandemic. Today, Mitchel says, "Every time I look, the data is different and it looks worse"... from bubbles popping in crypto, housing, equities, and U.S. Treasurys to the negative wealth effects of consumer spending tanking and i

When we first spoke with Simeon last year, the bull market was raging. Stocks were on a tear, with the S&P 500 Index hitting high after high. Things are vastly different today... This time around, Simeon shares a couple of views on the U.S. economy from a macroeconomic perspective... including his take on interest rates, inflation, and some critical U.S. Federal Reserve policies that the media isn't talking about.

Today's Stansberry Investor Hour guest is the man behind a theory that Dan says "scares the crap out of me when I think of foreign markets"... We're thrilled to have Brent Johnson, the creator of the famous "dollar milkshake theory," on this week's episode. A seasoned Wall Street veteran with decades of experience in finance and money management, Brent is currently the CEO of Puerto Rico-based Santiago Capital, a wealth management firm focusing on macroeconomic trends.  Brent says most folks who have read or heard about his dollar milkshake theory think it's just about the U.S. dollar going higher. But he says there's more to this narrative... He explains how the Federal Reserve's switch to quantitative tightening is like a straw sucking up liquidity from markets worldwide – strengthening the dollar. And it's a story that he says is playing out right now, with a soaring greenback and other currencies in a tailspin... After the global financial crisis, governments and monetary authorities around the world were

It has been just over two years since his last Stansberry Investor Hour appearance... So today, we're honored to have Professor Joel Litman, Altimetry's chief investment strategist and founder, back on the show. Joel's resume boasts top honors and achievements in finance and education. He's the president and CEO of Valens Research, chair of the Uniform Adjusted Financial Reporting Standards (or "Uniform Accounting") Advisory Council, a member of the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners, a certified public accountant, and a board member of a leading brokerage firm in Asia. He's also a professor at Hult International Business School's top-ranked international MBA program and has taught at business schools worldwide – like Harvard Business School, the London Business School, and Shanghai Advanced Institute of Finance. Joel's uncanny intuition is well-known in the world of finance... He called the 2008 crash and even accurately timed 2020's market bottom. And he starts today's episode by sharing one of his to

For this week's Investor Hour, we're proud to bring you Jim Osman, founder and chief vision officer of consulting group The Edge. A 30-year veteran of the markets and portfolio management, Jim founded The Edge in 2005. Currently headquartered in New York City and his native country of England, the firm provides actionable (and market-beating) research to institutional and individual investors. In addition to overseeing The Edge, Jim regularly contributes to the hedge funds and private-equity division at Forbes. He has also written for other big names in financial publications like Barron's, the Wall Street Journal, and Bloomberg. At The Edge, he helps his clients uncover profitable investing opportunities by helping them hone both an analytical and a behavioral edge in investing... On the analytical side, he focuses on special situations, which he defines as "unusual or atypical" events that drive stock prices. These catalysts can be external or internal. Spinoffs, in particular, are a great source of value p

This week, we're excited to welcome back a familiar voice to Investor Hour: Austin Root, the chief investment officer of Stansberry Asset Management ("SAM").  It has been more than two years since Austin's last conversation with Dan. During that time, Austin left behind a storied career at Stansberry Research – as the director of research, director of corporate development, and the editor and portfolio manager of Portfolio Solutions – to join SAM, where he develops and manages investment strategies across all portfolios. This year, investors have had to contend with a turbulent market. But Austin has done a stellar job of helping SAM clients navigate – and even outperform – these choppy markets. He shares some of his unusual strategies in today's interview but says his job isn't just about maintaining a great stock-picking record. Rather, it's about drilling down these "mission critical" basics that every investor should incorporate into their portfolio...  Performing well is not just about identifying great

This week's guest, Jeff Muhlenkamp – the lead portfolio manager of financial planner Muhlenkamp & Company – got a unique start in investing... Jeff's background is impressive – 20 years of service in the U.S. Army, a Bachelor of Science in electrical engineering, a master's degree in organizational leadership, and a Chartered Financial Analyst designation. As a result, he brings the perfect blend of discipline, analytical prowess, and leadership to portfolio management. Jeff's foray into investing shows just how resourceful he is... Back in 1988, when his father ran Muhlenkamp & Company, Jeff made his first investment there. He came up with the money by applying for a military car loan... then shrewdly using only a small portion to buy the cheapest car he could find and dedicating the remainder to launch a new career in investing.  Today, Jeff prefers a measured, bottom-up approach when screening for opportunities. (One of his metrics happens to be in Dan's list of "Five Essential Financial Clues.") B

We're excited to bring on a brand-new Stansberry Investor Hour guest this week – a name that Stansberry Research readers will undoubtedly recognize: Brett Eversole... After working with Stansberry Research heavyweight Dr. Steve Sjuggerud for more than a decade, Brett is now the lead analyst for Steve's suite of publications. In True Wealth, Brett and his team help their readers uncover safe, alternative investments that are overlooked by Wall Street. In True Wealth Systems, they use advanced, proprietary software to amplify investor returns in every corner of the market. And in True Wealth Real Estate, they scour the market for deals that combine the power of investing directly in private real estate with the ease of profiting from housing stocks. That's where Brett and Dan start this week's interview... A slew of new data released just last week confirms that the housing sector is in a worsening tailspin. But as a contrarian, Brett says the masses have mistakenly "over extrapolated" this cooldown and that we

This week, Dan welcomes back an Investor Hour favorite... Stansberry Research's resident cryptocurrency expert Eric Wade. Eric is the editor of Crypto Capital, Crypto Cashflow, and the Stansberry Innovations Report. Before joining Stansberry, he was a successful investor, Internet entrepreneur, founder of an internationally renowned business, and a movie scriptwriter. His passion for cryptos started with mining bitcoin and Ethereum before moving on to other strategies within the sector that raked in multiple double-digit winners. As Eric tells Dan, it's undeniable that we're in a crypto bear market, and there are "no bailouts, no mulligans, no do-overs" for this volatile, sometimes-unforgiving industry. But even amid the current "crypto winter," he has uncovered winning trades for his readers that boast double- and triple-digit yields... "We look for the source of the yield. And what surprises a lot of people is that we're in a world where most of us expect that most yield comes from being the other side of s

This week, we're honored to bring you the inspiring tale of Gautam Baid... When Gautam first immigrated from India to the U.S. in 2015, he made ends meet by working a grueling graveyard shift as a hotel clerk. The nights were slow and long and monotonous. So Gautam passed the time by investing in himself. He voraciously read every finance and investment book he could get his hands on. As he tells Dan... Even though it was a big challenge for me intellectually, physically, culturally, and emotionally, today, in hindsight, I highly value those days of my life because for the first time... I finally got some time for myself to read and learn... This was the phase in my life during which I was about to realize the power of compounding knowledge. Gautam used this knowledge to build an "intellectual foundation in investing." And in just a few years, he propelled himself from minimum-wage night shifts to a CFA charterholder, an internationally bestselling author, a feature in Morningstar Research's Learn From the Ma

This week, for the first time ever, Dan is featuring two guests on the show. Regular Investor Hour listeners should instantly recognize their names... Dr. David "Doc" Eifrig and Thomas Carroll.  Doc is an MBA, former Wall Street trader, published author, and medical doctor. (Plus, he even owns a winery.) In the Stansberry Research universe, he's the editor of Retirement Millionaire, Retirement Trader, Income Intelligence, Advanced Options, and the Health & Wealth Bulletin.  Tom was once named by Fortune magazine as the No. 1 health care analyst in the U.S. His research has been referenced by health care publications and institutional investors alike, along with CNBC, Bloomberg, and Fox Business. And Stansberry readers know him for his investment expertise in the emerging legal cannabis market. In today's interview, Tom says health care is the most promising and important economic sector of the market right now... Some people think it's a boring sector to invest in, but I think it's paramount for every inv

This week, Dan brings a fresh voice to the show: seasoned value investor Gary Mishuris.  Gary is currently the managing partner and chief investment officer of Silver Ring Value Partners, an investment firm that focuses on long-term intrinsic value investing. He has more than two decades of portfolio and asset-management experience plus degrees in computer science and economics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology ("MIT")... which is where he received the advice that shaped his career. Gary used to make rookie investor mistakes – like losing his shirt after putting all his money into a hot stock that tanked. But when Warren Buffett came to speak at Gary's alma mater, his words put the ambitious young man on a path to learn value investing instead of "gambling around with tech stocks." Today, Gary has his own priceless advice to share with our listeners, such as keeping a well-diversified and allocated portfolio. He warns against blindly chasing the price action and stubbornly allocating half of one'

This week, Dan welcomes a guest who he describes as "my style of investor"... Stansberry Venture Value editor Bryan Beach. In his newsletter, Bryan hunts for gems in the beaten-down, hated microcap sector of the market. And no one does it better than Bryan... Thanks to years of creating and auditing financial reports for the "Big Four" and software companies, he has honed his talent for uncovering opportunities within the dense terrain of Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") filings. Dan and Bryan delve into a conversation about special purpose acquisition companies ("SPACs") – a topic Bryan has been covering well before the 2021 bubble popped. And he has dug deep into the "SPAC scrap heap" to uncover a few diamonds in the rough, naming a few businesses on his radar, too. Bryan also discusses another overvalued group of stocks that's a favorite of his – Software as a Service. Then, he scrutinizes the housing market, and Dan shares his "macro" point of view on the matter.  Finally, Bryan urges listeners

Today's guest last joined Dan at the Investor Hour table when the world was in the throes of a newly declared pandemic. This time, he visits us amid rampant inflation... a newly declared bear market... and likely a nascent recession. Doug is the founder of Casey Research and a prolific writer with several highly acclaimed books under his belt. His financial book Crisis Investing was a New York Times No. 1 bestseller for weeks, dethroning the works of heavyweights such as economist Milton Friedman, former President Richard Nixon, and astronomer Carl Sagan. Doug isn't afraid to let loose on controversial topics like the Second Amendment and the police. And he doesn't mince words when it comes to Uncle Sam...  I despise politics... Politics is actually institutionalized coercion. It's all about the government and who runs it. The government is an entity that holds a gun to your head – subtly or overtly – and tells you to do what you're told. Increasingly, American life is revolving around the state, the governme

This week, Dan introduces a brand-new guest to Stansberry Investor Hour... But he's no stranger to Stansberry Research. Dave Lashmet, colleague and editor of Stansberry Venture Technology, joins Dan for a fast-paced talk on innovation, technology, and, of course, investing. His Venture Technology service uses a "venture capitalist" investing approach and focuses on biotechnology firms. And according to Dan, Dave is "well known as a man who scours the Earth for great ideas," thanks to his boots-on-the-ground research and networking at countless conferences and meetings. The two dive into Stansberry Research's history – including how founder Porter Stansberry actually hired Dave after meeting him in college... where Dave was Porter's professor. And Dave also regales Dan with tales of his former job as a self-described "mix between an engineer and a businessperson inside a tech company." Dan also commends Dave for his recent recommendation to Venture Technology subscribers to sell their remaining stake in Nvidia

Today, Dan welcomes first-time Investor Hour guest Steve Gorelik to the show. A 15-plus-year veteran of Firebird Management, Steve currently manages the Firebird U.S. Value Fund. And as a native Belarusian, there's no one better suited to manage Firebird's Eastern Europe and Russia funds as well.  The big question Dan asks Steve is how he has been handling the funds amid the Russia-Ukraine war. Steve shares his thoughts on Russia's investment prospects and the ruble's volatility. And he explains that, surprisingly, many Eastern European companies present very robust investment opportunities – as long as the countries' macroeconomics look good.  When it comes to doing the legwork on researching a prospective addition to your portfolio, Steve emphasizes that you shouldn't just look at how a company makes money... Seeing how a company spends its money is critically important, too. He also delves into the prospect he sees in a particular type of financial company. And finally, according to Steve, every investor s

We're now in a bear market... But today's Stansberry Investor Hour episode won't focus on that. Instead, Dan has a unique guest whose rousing words will be a respite from the recent market carnage.  Vitaliy Katsenelson is the CEO of value-investing firm Investment Management Associates. He's the author of two books and an award-winning writer featured in publications like the Financial Times and Barron's. However, Vitaliy describes himself as a "student of life." And he has just released his third book, called Soul in the Game: The Art of a Meaningful Life. As a classical-music lover, Vitaliy had a revelation when writing about the travails faced by some of his favorite composers during their own creative processes – from being compared with a former great to pioneering a piece that broke the rules. It's about learning how to push past the anxiety and forge your own path in life and investing... In any profession, there's always going to be somebody who's considered to be the "greatest" whatever... It's so ea

Today, we welcome Broyhill Asset Management President and Chief Investment Officer Chris Pavese to the Stansberry Investor Hour. It has been three years since Dan and Chris last spoke on our show. And needless to say, a lot has changed in the markets and the world since then – including a pandemic, war, and economic turmoil. As a seasoned industry veteran who has guided his clients through previous cataclysmic financial events, Chris has some advice to offer novice investors...   He explains the big mistake fledgling investors make is "chasing the most spectacular returns" and looking for advice from people or places that "put up great numbers in bull markets" while ignoring their performance during bear markets. After all, he says, "The most spectacular returns of 2021 are posting the most spectacular losses this year."   Chris and Dan both agree that focusing on finding value in a market environment like this one is your best bet. That's the kind of research Chris' firm Broyhill specializes in... like exami

Yes, they've gotten a lot of flak. But could there be something more to the "meme-stock mania" crowd?  In this week's Investor Hour episode, host Dan Ferris welcomes WallStreetBets founder Jaime Rogozinski back to the show. WallStreetBets is an infamous forum on social media site Reddit. The online community came to public attention in early 2021 when its denizens – often viewed as young, uneducated, and risk-hungry investors – crippled hedge funds by pumping up undeserving "dead stocks" like AMC Entertainment (AMC) and GameStop (GME). In this week's interview, Jaime gives his eye-opening perspective on the 2021 mania, saying there's more to the story than the negative picture painted by the media... It's a sophisticated way of doing risk awareness. But it's a conduit for people that start off in a risk-hungry environment and eventually move into a more responsible, traditional approach – but with a tremendous knowledge, I would say, even more so than the average person that starts off with lower-risk approac
