The next Bitcoin halving is right around the corner… This event has historically been super bullish for crypto. Yet, Bitcoin is trading significantly off its all-time high of just two months ago. In fact, it’s down 12% in the last week alone. The pullback has investors wondering what the hell is going on with crypto…   I start today’s show by explaining why the pullback isn’t nearly as alarming as it seems… and why the halving will ultimately drive Bitcoin’s price higher.    I’m hosting my next Crypto 2024 LIVE event on April 30 at 7 p.m. ET—where I’ll break down the current crypto environment… and how to position yourself to make life-changing gains in the space. I’ll end the event with a Q&A, where I’ll answer your most pressing questions about crypto. So make sure to register and send me your questions at  https://secure.curzioresearch.com/crypto24-after-halving/?utm_source=Libsyn   During her CNBC appearance yesterday, U.S. Representative Maxine Waters (D) said she believes big banks are at risk. (She also took some easy shots at Donald Trump.) I highlight why Waters’ statement on banks is absolutely crazy. Plus, I give an overview of the criminal proceedings against Trump… and why he should still be permitted to campaign.   J.B. Hunt (JBHT) just reported quarterly earnings… And the numbers paint an alarming picture of the economy. I break down why you should absolutely care about these results—even if you don’t own the stock. I also explain why you should expect a ton of volatility this week as more companies report—and why I’m worried about the coming guidance.

Why is crypto crashing?

The Fed is in a lot of trouble… While the media is claiming the economy is stronger than ever, the latest inflation data says otherwise. On today’s show, I look under the hood at the alarming numbers… why the Fed is in an impossible position when it comes to interest rates… the serious implications for our economy… and how to position your portfolio to profit from the turmoil. Since my live event a few weeks ago—The AI Story No One’s Telling—listeners have been lighting up my inbox with questions about artificial intelligence (AI). Guys, I can’t overstate just how much of a game-changer AI is going to be. In the last week alone, we’ve seen several major AI-related headlines… involving everyone from Apple to Google to Elon Musk. I just launched my brand-new advisory—Curzio AI—to help you make once-in-a-lifetime gains off this groundbreaking trend.

The Fed is in ‘hope-and-pray’ mode

I start today’s show by looking at the latest Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index data—which came in better than expected.  Yet, stocks are selling off. Why? I break down what’s behind the pullback… why it puts the Fed in a tough spot… and why market conditions are incredibly dangerous right now. Disney’s (DIS) annual meeting is today—and shareholders will vote on whether billionaire and major shareholder Nelson Peltz will get two seats on the board. I explain why CEO Bob Iger doesn’t want Peltz anywhere near the board… how Disney has resorted to downright illegal actions to try to keep it from happening… and why the SEC will most likely look the other way.   Apple (AAPL) just released its new AI model, ReALM… and it’s already outperforming ChatGPT. I highlight why Apple is set to dominate the AI game… and how it’ll breathe life back into another mega-trend you might have thought was dead… It’s important to understand that AI is still in its infancy. Last week, I hosted a special live event—The AI Story No One’s Telling—where I dug into the massive long-term potential of this growth trend… and how AI will be a game-changer for every single industry. We here at Curzio Research are already implementing AI into our own processes… and it’s a big part of our growth plans going forward. If you missed the event, don't worry—you can still watch the replay here: www.curzioai.com.

Disney just broke the law

Watch the replay of last night's special event, “The AI Story No One's Telling,” at www.curzioai.com. I start today’s show by eating some humble pie over my NCAA Final Four picks. I share my thoughts on the tournament so far… and which games I’m most looking forward to in the coming weeks.  We saw an incredible turnout for our special event last night, “The AI Story No One's Telling.” Our live Q&A lasted almost two hours—covering everything from the current state of AI… to where we're headed with artificial general intelligence (AGI). Thank you to everyone who attended. But if you missed it, don’t worry—you can watch the replay at www.curzioai.com. Trust me, it's worth your time. Tomorrow, FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried will be sentenced for illegally leveraging customers' assets, which caused the collapse of the company. He faces up to 100 years. I share the irony behind this debacle… why I think SBF will get slapped with a major sentence… and why he’ll likely walk free within the next few years. The tragic collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore shines a light on the critical role of our country’s infrastructure. I break down the bridge’s importance to U.S. trade… and the massive ripple effect its collapse will send throughout the economy. The latest Consumer Price Index (CPI) and Producer Price Index (PPI) numbers show inflation at its highest level since October. I highlight why the Fed might have no choice but to hike rates again this year. In this episode   A slice of humble pie with my NCAA bracket [1:21] Don’t miss “The AI Story No One’s Telling”—Go to www.curzioai.com [7:51] How long will SBF be in prison? [23:24] The tragedy in Baltimore will wreak havoc on the economy [32:05] Will we see more rate hikes this year? [43:20]    Enjoyed this episode?

Will we see more interest rate hikes this year?

I kick things off with some thoughts on NVIDIA’s (NVDA) GPU Technology Conference (GTC). In short, it was incredible and I explain why NVDA is on an island all by itself when it comes to dominating AI. I breakdown why AI isn’t even out of the 1st inning in terms of growth and why it will disrupt every sector of our economy. Yes, every single sector. I’m so excited about the investment opportunities in AI that I’ve created a new service – Curzio AI – that focuses on the technology. Join me on Tuesday, March 26 at 7 p.m. for a FREE presentation and LIVE Q&A session. Sign up for free at wwwcurzioai.com. I’ll share how individual investors can make a fortune as small cap companies who are using AI right now, become market leaders. In fact, my latest recommendation is a small biotech company who is aiming to disrupt one of the longest and costliest processes in biotech. And the stock could rocket 20x from current levels. Plus, March Madness – the most exciting event in sports starts tomorrow… Check out my special podcast on YouTube where I breakdown this year’s NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament. I bet you will be shocked at my final four picks. Submit your questions for the Curzio AI event on Tuesday, March 26 at 7 p.m. at www.curzioai.com. In this episode  A tech conference for the ages [1:00] NVDA is on an island by itself [5:10] Bubble? AI isn’t even out of the 1st inning [8:57] AI will turn small-caps into market dominators [19:10] A potential 20x opportunity [24:28] Sign up for our FREE AI event here [40:31] Don’t miss my NCAA final four picks [41:04]  Enjoyed this episode?
