The 2 sectors investors should focus on now
14/09/2022 Duración: 37minAfter yesterday’s market selloff, investors are processing a lot of negative news… I break down the details of the latest inflation numbers… why yesterday’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) data doesn’t paint an accurate picture of what’s really going on… and why the Fed should be focused on today’s Producer Price Index (PPI) numbers—which tell a completely different story. Plus, I share why I think there’s more pain ahead for the stock market. Despite the 10% pullback in Bitcoin yesterday, Daniel shares some exciting news for the crypto industry: Some of the biggest names on Wall Street have joined forces to launch a new crypto exchange: EDX Markets.

How the government is fudging inflation numbers
13/09/2022 Duración: 35minMarkets are down sharply as today’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) data came in hotter than expected—leaving investors worried the Fed will continue its aggressive interest rate hikes. Prepare for a rant on the government’s “creative” inflation calculations… and why the Fed should ignore the CPI figure altogether—but won’t. I explain how world governments are contributing to 40-year-high inflation… what the Fed should do to finally tame it… and why markets could drop 20% from here if the Fed doesn’t get its act together. On the plus side, I expect the Fed’s actions to lead to some great deals on Black Friday.

Why you need to get crypto exposure in this bear market
08/09/2022 Duración: 42minBlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, is partnering with Coinbase to offer crypto to its clients. Daniel and I discuss why this is huge for the crypto space… and why every investor should have exposure to crypto—even during this brutal bear market. We also highlight when we expect the U.S. government to clarify crypto regulations. Samsung recently warned investors that semiconductor demand will drop in the second half of 2022. I break down this grim economic warning… and the similar signals we’re seeing from other corners of the economy. Finally, Daniel shares a “boring” company that rewards shareholders through any economic conditions… and I share my favorite play on end-of-summer entertainment.

How the Fed could force us into a depression
07/09/2022 Duración: 40minFed members can’t help themselves: They continue to move markets with their speeches and seem dead-set on crashing every asset class. (And Daniel thinks the Fed is trolling me.) The Wall Street Journal reports that the Fed may hike interest rates by another 75 basis points later this month… and continue its aggressive path for the foreseeable future. I break down how hard and fast stocks will fall from current levels if the Fed follows through on this plan. In fact, it’s pushing us towards a depression. Turning to energy, Daniel highlights why all investors should have exposure to oil & gas stocks right now… and one activist investor urging more oil and natural gas production. But I disagree, and explain the no-brainer way to play the energy markets (which you can get easy exposure to with The Dollar Stock Club)… In this episode Is the Fed trolling me? [1:00] Why the Fed is scaring the s*** out of me [6:25] The data the Fed should pay attention to [8:15] Hard proof inflation will keep coming down [11:50]

What I need to see to turn bullish…
06/09/2022 Duración: 34minI’m getting a lot of questions regarding , when I stated I’d gone bearish. While data shows inflation is coming down—along with the price of oil (the sector with the largest impact on consumers)—the Fed seems hell-bent on more interest rate hikes. I share what I need to see to rejoin the bullish camp… and why I’m struggling to find a growth catalyst for markets. But it’s not all negative… There are two sectors you can scale into now… and reap the rewards once the Fed finally realizes its plan is working and eases rates. (Hint: One is biotech.)

He explains why the market pullback is great for income investors… how to accelerate the long-term compounding process—a financial phenomenon most investors ignore… and why he’s looking at bonds for income. Income investors should also consider Unlimited Income, where the average recommendation is still up… and spitting out consistent cash payments month after month—despite the recent pullback.

Two trends you HAVE to invest in now
31/08/2022 Duración: 43minToday’s show starts with a look at the recent earnings from Chewy (CHWY), an online marketplace for pet-related goods. Daniel and I discuss the results… what they tell us about consumers’ spending habits… and what to watch out for when investing in retailers. Despite the ongoing market volatility, I highlight one asset class everyone should be buying right now… and why it’s poised to rip higher on any sign of a slowdown in the Fed’s interest rate hikes. We’ll be taking advantage of the uptrend in my Curzio Venture Opportunities newsletter. (If you’re not a member, join us here… get my picks as soon as they’re released.)

The closest thing to a guaranteed windfall for investors

How the Fed’s idiocy could crash the market
04/08/2022 Duración: 39minEarlier this week, a Fed member suggested hiking interest rates from 2.5% to 4% by the end of the year. Daniel explains why this isn’t feasible without crashing the market… I go on a rant about the Fed… and why idiotic comments from its members continue to be the biggest risk in the markets. For instance, the Fed said it needs to see evidence inflation is coming down before it alters its rate-hiking path. I give it to them… Turning to earnings: Ford (F) finally seems to be getting its act together… but it continues to drive me crazy. Paypal (PYPL) surged following earnings. Daniel breaks down why he’s bullish on the stock—but it has nothing to do with its results.
