Wait, what just happened?  The market saw a big nosedive last week based on a couple of factors.
This week Enrique unpacks recent events.   He'll explain the "Yen carry" that was upset by rate changes in Japan, and look a little closer at the data in and around the recent jobs report.  
The volatility index is through the roof.  Is the sky really falling? We don't think so.  Here's why, and what to do now in this week's HXPodcast.

This week’s guest is Gabriel Grego, founder of Quintessential Capital.  Gabriel has been a value investor and activist short seller for more than a decade, focusing on uncovering frauds and illegal activities to identify short selling opportunities. 

While all investors need to do their research, Gabriel has taken it to a near “secret-agent” level of investigation.  We’re talking cloak and dagger stuff, dressing up like a delivery man, infiltrating essentially criminal organizations and the like.  Not for the faint of heart!  

Luckily his experience as a paratrooper in the IDF has given him the nerve, and his education and intellect has given him the wherewithal to sniff out, and act upon his discoveries.  Lots of great stories and insights to enjoy on this one!

On this week's podcast we get a full primer on the concept of "direct indexing".  Regular listeners will recall Howard Lindzon  mentioning this tax saving idea last month.  We needed to know more!

On Howard’s advice Enrique got in contact with Mo Al Adham.  His company Frec deals exclusively in direct indexing, an investment strategy that tracks the performance of indices like the S&P 500 while harvesting losses that can offset capital gains taxes.  He explains how it works, who it works for, who's doing it, and for how much!

On this week's HX Podcast, Enrique is joined by Frank Cappelleri of CappThesis.
Frank's recently posted his technical analysis of three stocks he has been watching.  Enrique was so intrigued by his insights and clarity, he invited Frank onto the Pod to discuss.
This is a rare opportunity to learn about some classic market setups, how and when to act on them, and use them to identify patterns in the future.
If that's not enough, stay to hear what Frank learned from a ballerina from the 1960's!

This week Enrique welcomes another former colleague and "Wall Street Beats" team member, Berna Barshay.
Berna continues the mantra of WSB's Herb Greenberg of "know thyself" when investing, (and invest in what you know)   For her that means capitalizing on her knowledge and experience in the consumer space.  Find out how being a mom and watching Jennifer Lawrence helped her make a smart move!
She and Enrique also discuss retail and apparel, and what Kate Spade and Crocs could possibly have in common!

This week's HX Podcast is a deep dive into the world of biotech investing.  We are guided through these murky waters by Bio5c founder Jason Napodano.

"JNap" as we call him has a very particular set of skills.  He holds a degree in biochemistry, with subsequent research experience, as well as an MBA with experience as a securities analyst.  Armed with these tools, Jason has developed sound analytics and insights into the often tumultuous biotech market.   

Join Enrique and learn the 5 C's of JNap's methodology.  Don't worry, one of the C's is "cash"!
