Stansberry Investor Hour

We're back to our regular Stansberry Investor Hour programming this week. And to kick off a new year of the show, we welcome Greg Diamond, editor of Ten Stock Trader. A chartered market technician ("CMT") and Stansberry's resident expert in technical analysis, Greg has almost 20 years of experience in portfolio management and trading across every asset class you can think of. That's why he's the perfect fit for Ten Stock Trader – Stansberry's unique daily trading service in which Greg has nailed down multiple double- and triple-digit winners. According to Greg, "2023 is going to be marked with incredible trading opportunities." He explains that one of the tools for navigating market volatility this year is being able to identify certain trends, and he also explains how technical analysis can help you do that. His strategy might be intimidating for most, but Greg encourages folks to keep an open mind and step out of the box... This is a can't-miss episode. Check it out now.

Today was the first trading day of the new year. So for this week's Stansberry Investor Hour episode, we thought it'd only be fitting to kick off 2023 with our fourth annual "Top 10 Potential Surprises" for investors. Dan Ferris teams up with co-host Corey McLaughlin to bring you this year's list. Keeping with Dan's favorite adage of "Prepare, don't predict," these 10 surprises aren't predictions... They're possible events investors are unprepared for, based on current market conditions. We won't spoil the surprises. But just to give you an idea, you'll hear about... A bullish trend in two assets (including one Dan has never been a fan of) A commonly held view of today's bear market (and why it's a mistake) A specter of the 2021 stock market's most infamous names (and what it portends) A "blistering" market event (one that's guaranteed to "shock the hell out of everyone") A repeat of history (and an event Dan says is his "pet surprise" that he'll always have on his Top 10 list) Dan and Corey also as

This week's Stansberry Investor Hour episode features multiple guests... And they're you, our listeners. You see, we've been reading every e-mail and listening to every voicemail as they've come in. So for today's episode, we're opening the floodgates and sharing as many of your mailbag missives as we can cram into the show's hour. We'll share your feedback – both good and bad – and questions that run the gamut from... What is the most interesting buy-and-hold opportunity considering the crisis in Europe? To... Is Dan about to pass away? Dan and his co-host Corey McLaughlin tackle all your comments and questions. You'll also hear... Dan and Corey's picks for "the most interesting buy-and-hold opportunity" The duo's take on Big Tech's layoffs What made one listener say, "It's the equivalent of Dan getting married and not telling us who this new person is" Why Stansberry Research values conflicting opinions The next "sleeper" crisis that's lurking for the U.S., according to Corey Dan's vote for the "

This week's Stansberry Investor Hour guest is hailed by Dan Ferris as "the blueprint for a great guest." And co-host Corey McLaughlin says, "I get excited when I know he's going to be talking somewhere." Rick Rule is back for his fourth appearance. For our newer listeners, Rick is one of the most accomplished natural resource investors on the planet. He began his financial career in the securities business in 1974 and has been principally involved with natural resource securities ever since. And over his long career, Rick has originated and participated in hundreds of debt and equity transactions with private, pre-public, and public companies. Even after a decade of serving as Sprott U.S. president and CEO, he's still spending his retirement years in the markets as founder and CEO of Rule Investment Media. After opening with "the most entertaining [news] item" on their minds this week and an in-depth discussion on natural resource stocks, last week's latest Consumer Price Index report, Big Tech layoffs, and u

If anyone can make Dan exclaim, "If you don't get the hell away from your microphone, I'm going to keep you here all day," it's today's Stansberry Investor Hour guest: geopolitical strategist and New York Times bestselling author Peter Zeihan. But first, Dan and his co-host Corey McLaughlin kick off the show by dissecting the conflicting – and confusing – news headlines on the direction of stocks and housing into 2023. The duo also evaluates ARK Investment Management founder Cathie Wood's latest Twitter ramblings (and why she sounds like a certain founder of a certain defunct cryptocurrency exchange). Circling back to today's guest, Peter is also the founder of his own firm, Zeihan on Geopolitics, where he provides his expert analysis to clients that include Fortune 500 companies, trade associations, policymakers, and government agencies of all levels. His first three books – The Absent Superpower, The Accidental Superpower, and Disunited Nations – have been recommended by U.S. Senator Mitt Romney, political

We're kicking off this week with a special Stansberry Investor Hour episode on all things cryptocurrency... and it's a roundtable talk. Dan Ferris and co-host Corey McLaughlin sit down with the perfect guest for today's show: Stansberry's in-house crypto guru Eric Wade. Eric is the editor of Crypto Capital, Crypto Cashflow, and the Stansberry Innovations Report at Stansberry Research. He got his start in cryptos by mining bitcoin and Ethereum and quickly moved on to building and programming his own miners... before going on to rack up big gains in crypto investments. Despite the drama the FTX crash has caused, Eric says there's something afoot right now that's "much bigger news in the long run." As for the rest of this week's roundtable, Dan, Eric, and Corey discuss the future of crypto regulations... how "Brazil is the middle-class taxpayer of America"... and some challenging questions on bitcoin as a currency (posed by the ever-skeptical Dan). Plus, the trio examines last week's New York Times interview wit

Even though stocks finished the week higher, investors have several new reasons to snap out of the holiday-weekend lull as economic and market uncertainties still loom ahead... like the geopolitical risks surrounding Taiwan's elections, a stateside natural disaster, and the latest in struggling world economies. But, as Dan says, instead of worrying about how the world's problems will be solved, you should focus on ensuring the best defense for your portfolio. That's why he has brought on an expert in risk management, James St. Aubin, the chief investment officer of Sierra Investment Management.

This week's Stansberry Investor Hour episode features one of the most accomplished financial journalists today. He's a returning guest, and his latest book couldn't have come out at a better time... But first, Dan and Stansberry Digest editor Corey McLaughlin start off the episode's "opening rant" by taking on a recent headline-maker: the FTX debacle. The world is watching rapt as global authorities comb through the wreckage left by the collapse of this prominent cryptocurrency exchange... only to discover that "it's worse than we initially thought." Among other "scandals and wonderful things that crashed and burned," as Dan puts it, no one can forget the shocking downfall of another market monolith: General Electric (GE). This company gave us life-changing innovations like the light bulb, radio broadcasts, fluorescent lamps, X-ray machines, jet engines, and more... before it went into a dramatic tailspin starting two decades ago. That's why today, award-winning author William D. Cohan joins us for his second

This week, Stansberry Investor Hour listeners are in for a treat... Dan has brought back Empire Financial Research's own (and listener favorite) Enrique Abeyta, editor of Empire Elite Trader, a short-term trading service that draws from a pool of mid- to large-cap stocks. Dan and Enrique launch into a spirited discussion about the belief that a stock's value directly correlates to the company's value. And Enrique warns about the danger of believing that this is 100% true... He explains what Dan calls "a more inclusive, superior mental model for someone who wants to trade stocks for less than five years"... and discusses how sentiment and positioning matter more for stocks over the short term, with fundamentals and macroeconomics becoming the main drivers over the long term. Enrique also explains the power of "positive psychology" and keeping a disciplined approach for investing success. Plus, he reminds listeners that there's a silver lining in rough markets like today's and that these are truths rooted in hi

Last month, your Stansberry Investor Hour host and Extreme Value editor Dan presented at the 20th annual Stansberry Conference alongside dozens of exceptional speakers. And today, he's giving his listeners a special peek into one of the panels he participated in with fellow editors. This wasn't your typical roundtable discussion... Instead, moderator and Stansberry Research's Director of Research Matt Weinschenk had gathered some of Stansberry's "more outspoken and colorful personalities" for a lively game of "Bull, Bear, or B.S." Dan is joined by his colleagues: the Retirement franchise's Dr. David "Doc" Eifrig, Crypto Capital and Crypto Cashflow's Eric Wade, and Matt McCall of The McCall Report and Matt McCall's MegaTrend Investor. The four must each choose whether they're bullish or bearish – or calling B.S. – on some of the most controversial topics in finance today. They also share their viewpoints on the current stock market valuation in terms of the CAPE Shiller P/E (that's cyclically adjusted price-to

In this week's episode, Dan welcomes back four-time Stansberry Investor Hour veteran Marko Papic. Currently, the geopolitics and macroeconomics specialist serves as a partner and the chief strategist of asset manager Clocktower Group. Before that, Marko was the senior vice president and chief strategist on geopolitical strategy at global investment research firm BCA Research for nearly a decade. He has also worked at Stratfor, one of the world's top geopolitical-intelligence platforms. Marko last joined us in late January, shortly before the Russia-Ukraine war exploded. Today, he's turning his attention to someone "much more relevant and powerful than Vlad[imir Putin]"... chairman of the U.S. Federal Reserve, Jerome Powell. We realize the topic of our central bank's next steps might seem worn out. After all, it has been splashed across the top news headlines daily for most of 2022. But the Fed's actions are massively influencing the global financial system right now. As Marko says... Literally everything tha

We're excited to have a brand-new guest for this week's Stansberry Investor Hour episode. And Dan has long admired him for his keen macroeconomic insights...   David Cervantes, the founder of New York's Pine Brook Capital Management, joins us today. Before establishing his firm in 2015, David already had roughly two decades of experience in the financial industry with Wall Street heavyweights like Wells Fargo, JPMorgan Chase, UBS, Bank of America, and Morgan Stanley.   Given the carnage in the markets, an uptick in inflation and volatility, and sky-high mortgage rates, Dan says, "We're on another planet versus a year ago." It's a big moment for macroeconomics... and that's exactly why Dan brought David on this week. He shares his expertise in understanding and explaining large-scale economic factors and gives his take on what's next for the markets. David also covers the debate between a cyclical versus secular bear market, the Federal Reserve's No. 1 fear, and whether he's in the soft-landing camp. As for hi

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
