What's behind this disastrous earnings season?

Tesla (TSLA) reported its latest earnings yesterday… and the results were terrible.   So why is the stock soaring today?   I start today’s show by looking under the hood at the difficulties Tesla faces—from lower EV demand… to high costs… to Chinese competition…   And I highlight the single most important factor that continues to buoy the stock and ultimately makes Tesla a winner—regardless of headwinds.   Gold stocks have been on a rollercoaster recently—the yellow metal hit new all-time highs this month before pulling back. I explain what’s behind the action… why gold bugs are dead wrong about their thesis, despite the rise in price… why I’d take profits in gold and gold stocks right now… and why Bitcoin is a much better bet. In fact, I believe crypto offers the best speculative opportunity for investors right now.   Make sure to join us for part 3 of our Crypto 2024 LIVE series,  After the Halving, on April 30 at 7 p.m. ET. I’ll break down how to position your portfolio for life-changing gains in the crypto space… and answer all your crypto questions. .   Enjoyed this episode?

Why is Tesla surging—despite terrible earnings?

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.
