Stansberry Investor Hour

In this week's Investor Hour, Dan's going solo. Instead of the usual tête-à-tête with a guest (we'll return to this regularly scheduled format of our program next week, though), he wants to share something with his listeners that he recently hammered home in the Stansberry Digest...This is a bear market. I've been a fool not to think it. And I've been a fool not to say it to you. So let's consider that huge mistake fixed... I'll never make it again as long as I live. So for today's episode, Dan's coming straight to you, the listener, with his keen observations on the recent market action and his tips on what steps you can take to protect your portfolio. And to round out his assessment of today's bear market in equities, he's bringing on fellow colleague and resident cryptocurrency expert Eric Wade for a special commentary on the bear market in cryptos.

258 While this year has presented a difficult trading environment for everyone so far, Greg's Ten Stock Trader advisory has been making a killing. Its win rate stems from Greg's expertise in technical analysis – a strategy that relies on studying past market and human behavior to predict what's next. With nearly two decades of experience trading and managing multibillion-dollar portfolios across every asset class, Greg is well-versed in guiding his subscribers to profits... while also knowing when to sit back and be patient.  But it's not just about technical analysis... Greg also underlines the importance of understanding the fundamentals of market behavior, inspired by his recent readings on legendary investor and trader Stanley Druckenmiller... At the end of the day, follow the Fed. What's the Fed doing? Are they opening the spigot and releasing cash into the market? Or are they not? So, what's Greg's secret to surviving – and thriving – in this rocky market while everyone else gets "whipsawed"? Greg says

In today's dismal market, value stocks remain a beacon of hope for investors... And there's no one better suited to discuss this topic than recurring Investor Hour favorite, Tobias Carlisle. Tobias is the founder and managing director of deep-value investment firm Acquirers Funds, which is centered around his trademarked valuation tool – the Acquirer's Multiple. Simply put, it's a "valuation ratio used to find attractive takeover candidates"... and is favored by many activists and buyout firms. On top of creating a proprietary metric, Tobias has also written several books, including The Acquirer's Multiple, Concentrated Investing, Deep Value, and Quantitative Value. So, what does Tobias have to say about the slump we're in? It's not really a question of where you think the market's going to go because you're invariably going to be wrong... The best return you're going to get is by being fully invested. He says "names that can survive a nuclear winter" are the keys to surviving this bear market. To Tobias, tha

In this week's episode, returning guest Hugh Hendry joins Dan for another round at the Stansberry Investor Hour table... Hugh founded the now-defunct Eclectica Asset Management in 2005. He rose to fame as the "Scottish hedge-fund king" when his fund returned 30%-plus during the throes of the financial crisis. He's also well-known for his outspoken remarks and contrarian views. One time, he even duked it out with a Nobel Prize-winning economist on television, asking, "Um, hello? Can I tell you about the real world?"  These days, Hugh entertains a wide audience with his wit and energetic market commentary in his podcast, The Acid Capitalist. Today's conversation begins with a bang, as Dan and Hugh tackle one of the biggest market headlines: the stock sell-off. Shares of "FAANG" giants like Netflix, Amazon, and Apple are tanking... And it's hard to see these behemoths – which were once among the best-performing tech companies in the world – as "risk free" businesses anymore. Instead, they could herald a recessio

With inflation creeping higher and higher these days, now is the perfect time for this week's guest to make his Stansberry Investor Hour debut. Patrick Yip is a precious metals expert. He's the director of business development at APMEX, one of the largest online precious metals retailers in the U.S., as well as the manager of OneGold, APMEX's innovative investment platform for vaulted positions in gold, silver, and platinum. And he says that in a market fraught with uncertainty like we're seeing today, it's especially important for conservative and speculative investors alike to consider adding precious metals to their portfolios... If history repeats itself, inflation at its current rate could erode half of your wealth in nine years. No one knows what the future is going to give us. But if history repeats, precious metals are going to protect your wealth and maybe even increase your wealth. Gold, he says, is perfect for those seeking extra portfolio protection during periods of high inflation. If metals rall

In this week's episode, Dan Ferris is joined by the chief investment officer of Logica Capital Advisers, Wayne Himelsein. Wayne founded the investment advisory firm in 2011. Throughout his 25-year career, he has developed and refined his quantitative-trading methods, risk, and portfolio-management processes. A self-proclaimed "quant trader," Wayne uses advanced mathematics to help identify moneymaking opportunities in both good times and bad. So in today's unforgiving market environment, he's a valuable guide for novice and veteran investors alike. When asked to define himself as an investor, Wayne emphasizes how investing should be thought of as "trading your personality." You should invest in a way that aligns with how you see and understand the world... What's funny to me is that people get really... rigorous about their view. If somebody, for example, is not very mathematical and they deeply believe in the fundamentals – understanding the company and talking to management and the whole other side of the w

Metals and mining stocks are a hot topic right now. Global commodity prices continue to surge as the Russia-Ukraine conflict rages on... The U.S. is looking to ramp up domestic production of the minerals needed to produce electric-vehicle batteries... Even the "meme stock" crowd is jumping on board, recently pushing a previously unnoticed small metals miner up nearly 800%. According to Dan, "There's something broken about the market." So this week on Stansberry Investor Hour, he invites seasoned geologist Brent Cook to break down the real opportunities in this highly complex industry. Over his storied career, Brent has worked in more than 60 countries consulting on proposed mine sites. His knowledge spans all areas of the mining business, from the conception stage to detailed technical and financial modeling for mine development and production. In 2008, he founded the popular Exploration Insights newsletter and helped develop what is now one of the most invaluable tools in the industry, the Drill Hole Interva

For this week's episode of Stansberry Investor Hour, Dan Ferris welcomes back powerhouse guest Marc Chaikin, the founder, and CEO of Chaikin Analytics. Marc is a 40-year Wall Street veteran who, more than a decade ago, developed a revolutionary investing tool called the Chaikin Power Gauge. It's an objective, quantitative system that simplifies the stock-picking process and levels the playing field between institutional and individual investors. This week, Marc also shares some interesting tidbits about the Power Gauge's history, including when he showed the Nasdaq how his tool could "turbocharge" its three core indexes to yield double-digit outperformance. And at Dan's request, Marc gives his outlook on investing in technology stocks, along with a tip on the one quantitative measure that he uses to pick out the "cash-flow cows" from all the beaten-down tech stocks that litter the market.

In this week's interview, Kevin Duffy – who has been in the game for more than 40 years, from buying his first stock at age 13 to shorting heavyweights in the housing and credit bubbles –shares his unique perspective on today's investing atmosphere. He and Dan discuss everything from the stocks, commodities, and inflation concerns that are shaping today's financial environment to the cultural shifts caused by pandemic-accelerated digital revolution and Disney's employee walkout.

This week, Dan Ferris speaks with Herb Greenberg. A renowned investigative financial journalist and now the senior editor for Empire Financial Research, Herb has had a storied, 40-plus-year career in the financial markets. Herb discusses plans to launch a brand-new, long-only research service. He shares his process for empowering and educating the everyday investor, as well as what goes into researching the best companies for his readers. And in his answer to Dan's traditional Final Question, he describes one of the biggest changes he has made in his own life – a change that he urges all listeners to make as well: eliminate toxicity...

In this week's episode of Stansberry Investor Hour, Dan dives right into discussing the biggest current crisis that has upended the global markets: the Russia-Ukraine war. And Dan's guest today is none other than Stansberry Research's international editor, Kim Iskyan. There's no one better suited for the topic at hand than him. The two chat about everything from how Venezuela and Iran could benefit from Russia's isolation... to how China might even have "the chance to become the geopolitical soft power it wants to be"... and to how it all might play out for "the ultimate dictator," Russian President Vladimir Putin. Kim also shares two unique and pertinent investment ideas for these turbulent times

This week on Stansberry Investor Hour, Dan brings back Cullen Roche, one of his "favorite people to talk to," for a third interview. As the Fed readies to "tap the brakes" on its quantitative-easing programs, an unimaginably wide range of potential outcomes exists for the markets. However, one thing is certain: Years of volatility loom ahead. So for investors looking to build their own "all-weather" portfolios, Cullen shares some portfolio-designing tips – many of which are near and dear to Dan's heart.

In this week's episode of Stansberry Investor Hour, Dan speaks with Rob Arnott. When Rob talks, we listen. And right now, he's saying that the market cycle is turning from one predominated by growth to one predominated by value. That presents an exceptional opportunity for the patient contrarian value investor. Rob discusses his two "core investment principles" and his forecast for out-of-control inflation (including a few "inflation fighter" places to consider putting your money today). He also covers a proprietary definition of the term "bubble," what's going on with electric vehicles, the "best way to read the news," and much more.

Today, Dan talks with Peter Boockvar, the chief investment officer of $8 billion wealth-management firm Bleakley Financial Group. As a top-down investor, Peter focuses on "bombed-out, value-type situations" that can be distilled into overarching investing themes. One of the big themes Peter sees right now is a global, unstoppable force of people wanting to break out of their pandemic bubbles and travel. That doesn't mean he's long airlines. In fact, he cautions against such proven, cyclical money pits... instead preferring alternative plays on the travel industry, like hotels, casinos, or online travel agencies. 

This week, Dan Ferris talks with veteran journalist and Stansberry Research Media Anchor Daniela Cambone Daniela has covered the financial markets for more than a decade. In that time, she has interviewed such high-profile figures as Congressman Newt Gingrich, Economic Advisor Stephen Moore, and investors like Mark Cuban, Jim Rogers, and Steve Forbes. And as she discusses on the show, her work has given her a truly unique perspective into the distinct, recurring themes that leading financial minds are seeing right now in inflation, hard assets, the stock market... At the current rate of 7%, inflation hasn't been this high since 1982. And Daniela suspects that, in actuality, inflation is "running way higher" than the U.S. Federal Reserve wants to admit. "I don't buy the 7% narrative at all," she says. "At one point, the Fed is going to have to act more aggressively [than they currently are if] they don't want the beast to get out of hand." In this kind of uncertain environment, Daniela encourages everyone to e

This week, Dan Ferris welcomes back to the show stock-picking expert Matt McCall. Matt has two decades of experience in finance and has made some incredible thousand-percent gains in his career. And because Matt believes in buying and holding for the long haul, this month's stomach-churning stock volatility didn't faze him... Matt says too often folks "hit the sell button too quickly... and panic selling doesn’t work in the long run." He reminds listeners that market corrections are natural and inevitable, and smart investors should use these pullbacks as opportunities to buy. Matt still believes in his Roaring 2020s thesis – that the coming decade will be the best years for investing that we've seen yet – but recessions and drawdowns are absolutely a part of it. Dan and Matt talk technology, one of Matt's cornerstone investing themes. He's still bullish on electric vehicles and Tesla, a company he calls a leader in the industry and sites the current downtrend in these stocks as a great time to get in. They a

The current tensions between Russia and Ukraine have been all over the news… perhaps even contributing to this week's big market sell-off. But Dan Ferris' guest this week on Stansberry Investor Hour has some reassuring words for any concerned listeners: You can relax.  Dan sits down with one of his favorite guests -- geopolitical expert Marko Papic, who is the Partner and Chief Strategist at an alternative investment asset management firm. Marko is Dan's "No. 1 macro guy" and specializes in geopolitics, macroeconomics, and markets. And Marko says it's life as usual right now for folks in Ukraine, and the media noise surrounding the possibility of war is just over-done news hype…  Marko clarifies that if a war does happen, yes of course there would be global and market implications. But for right now, it’s just a local regional issue being sensationalized by the media. They also discuss inflation, which Marko says will continue to be an issue. He reminds everyone "This isn't the 1970s…" and that regular folks

This week on Stansberry Investor Hour, Dan Ferris sits down with Egon von Greyerz, Founder and Managing Partner of Matterhorn Asset Management AG. Egon, whose company specializes in wealth preservation, has been a gold bug for decades. He and Dan talk about how gold is the No. 1 hedge against inflation and market chaos. Egon says “gold is the best instrument you could ever buy to ensure your wealth.” And holding gold will protect you from the coming consequences of our current massive market bubble... created and fueled by the Federal Reserve’s unlimited money printing and our highest inflation rate in decades. Unfortunately, Egon predicts that the impending “wealth destruction will be massive.” And the folks who think the Fed is going to swoop in and save the system again this next crash are wrong... Egon says that there are “tough times ahead,” but this makes wealth preservation, which includes holding gold, even more crucial.  Dan and Egon also discuss bitcoin, as many have asked if gold will be replaced b

This week on the show Dan sits down with Mike McGlone, Senior Commodity Strategist for Bloomberg Intelligence. Mike has more than 25 years experience in futures and commodities trading beginning at the Chicago Board of Trade. Mike claims "the game is over"… The Federal Reserve will continue to tighten until the stock market goes down. We're long overdue for a correction, and this country's inflation is at its highest rate in 40 years. The Fed will take away the punch bowl, and guess what will come out ahead as a result? Cryptos... Dan and Mike dive into bitcoin, which Mike says is the "least risky" crypto out there. He explains that bitcoin is still in its price-discovery stage, steadily gaining adoption in a world that’s going digital. Bitcoin is currently our benchmark digital currency – well on its way to becoming the global digital collateral.

We've got former portfolio manager and current editor of Ten Stock Trader, Greg Diamond, on the podcast this week. Greg has almost two decades of experience managing multimillion-dollar portfolios across every asset class. He uses his expert technical analysis to decipher the behaviors and patterns of the market. Greg offers insights on the future of the S&P 500, the Dow, and the Nasdaq heading into 2022. Importantly, Greg warns that a huge wave of volatility is coming in the next few months. He's holding a special webinar next week on January 13 about this approaching market shake-up. You can find out more at messagefromgreg.com.   Greg and Dan also discuss how to apply technical analysis to rising interest rates and how we can leverage historic market data to best understand the future of inflation. They walk through the importance of risk management and how to incorporate those principles into your daily investing approach for a sounder strategy. After the interview, stay tuned for Dan's musings on the
