Happy Election Day! I hope you all get out and vote today, since, according to the mainstream media, our democracy is at risk…  I highlight how wild politics in this country have become… why I’m being labeled a “racist” and a “radical”... and what I wish we’d focus on instead of all the fear-mongering and hate. A split government is typically bullish for the markets… And a “red wave” would be good for business… But regardless of how the election turns out, it won’t save your portfolio—the only thing that matters is the Fed. I explain why there’s zero chance of a soft landing… Goldman Sachs’ alarming forecast… and why we’re facing a recession in 2023. Luckily, Genia Turanova’s simple but effective Moneyflow Trader strategy was designed for exactly this kind of dangerous market. In fact, she just closed out her 17th and 18th winners year to date. And for a limited time, you can join at a deep discount. In this episode  Have you voted yet?

Yesterday, the Fed held its November meeting and raised interest rates by 75 basis points.  We break down the market reaction to the Fed… why the Fed won’t pivot… an absurd comment Powell made during his press conference… why you need to brace for further downside… and how to rake in profits as that happens. As earnings season continues, we discuss the record results from power management company Eaton (ETN)... what pawn shop operator FirstCash Holdings’ (FCFS) strong earnings say about the economy... and how energy policies are letting one coal company—a Curzio Research Advisory holding—print cash. In this episode  The market’s up-and-down reaction to the Fed meeting [0:30] Powell’s ridiculous comparison on historical interest rates [6:45] Eaton’s record earnings [9:15] What one pawn shop operator says about the economy [18:00] Energy policies mean this coal company is printing cash [23:40] How to profit as the market plunges [32:27] Enjoyed this episode?

Later today, the Federal Reserve will hike interest rates yet again… but that’s hardly news at this point. The real news is what will happen after during the Q&A—and whether the Fed will start turning dovish… We cover why the Fed is stuck between a rock and a hard place when it comes to combating inflation—and you shouldn’t pin your hopes on a dovish Fed… Why we could see a higher inflation target by the end of the year… How the Senate and Congress are attempting to pressure Powell… Why there’s no hope of a soft landing at this point… And why the Fed can’t save the markets. Plus, I share how to multiply your money as the Fed’s mistakes crash the market.   In this episode  We could see a major change on inflation targets [2:30] The Fed’s hands are tied on rate hikes [4:20] How elected officials are pressuring Powell [13:25] The Fed can’t save the markets [16:30] Despite the bear market, equities still aren’t cheap [24:40]  How to profit from the Fed’s errors [26:25]  Enjoyed this episode?

Happy belated Halloween!  Today’s show starts with a rant about how times have changed since I was a kid… why I’m worried kids can’t have fun anymore. Turning to the markets… I break down what to expect from tomorrow's Fed meeting… and why the latest jobs data should kill any optimism about the Fed turning dovish. I also dig into some stats on the booming market for HELOC loans… and what it means for the economy. We’re still in a bear market, but that doesn’t mean you should be selling everything. I break down exactly which sectors investors should be buying right now… which ones to avoid… and the best strategy to profit from the ongoing volatility in stocks. In this episode  Happy Halloween! [0:30] What killed this morning’s rally [5:10] Inflation has NOT peaked [10:05] Why strong demand for HELOCs is a bad sign for the economy [18:40] Which sectors to buy and avoid now [23:35] How to make a fortune in this volatile market [31:19] Enjoyed this episode?

David Evans, CEO of our partner , joins me again to discuss all things metaverse. We start by clearing up some misconceptions about what it’ll allow users to do (hint: it’s a LOT more than just “gamification” and social media). I’m on the executive board of TCG World. David and I share some incredible recent deals the company has made… how it’s attracting the best developers in the world… its next crucial steps as it prepares to launch its metaverse at the end of this year… and why understanding NFTs is critical to profiting from the metaverse.

Results are in for Alphabet (GOOG) and Microsoft (MSFT). Daniel and I explain how a strong U.S. dollar is hurting these stocks… and why they don’t deserve to trade at current levels. In fact, a fundamental shift is leading to the collapse of the big tech growth story. (Interestingly, though, crypto seems to be breaking away from tech stocks…) We recap why all the positive earnings results aren’t as good as they look… and share two strategies to profit from this bear market rally. In this episode  What’s behind the strong start to earnings season [1:00] Why Alphabet’s earnings were a disaster [6:30] A fundamental shift is killing the tech stock growth story [9:05] Why a strong U.S. dollar is a major headwind for big tech [18:45] Is Bitcoin breaking away from the tech sector?

I just got back from a trip to Las Vegas with my wife. I highlight some of our adventures (including driving excavators)... and why the bustling Vegas economy is a bit of an anomaly. Stocks have been rallying thanks to better-than-expected results (so far) this earnings season. But the headlines aren’t telling the real story. I explain what’s behind the numbers… why this rally won’t last… and why investors need to brace for the downtrend to continue. But that doesn’t mean you should sell everything. I share how to make a fortune as stocks move lower with the Moneyflow Trader strategy… while holding onto quality long positions (like the one I’m recommending tomorrow in Curzio Venture Opportunities). In this episode  A recap of my trip to Vegas [0:30] Don’t trust this earnings rally [7:22] Inflation still hasn’t peaked [16:10] Why there’s more pain ahead for the market [20:50] How to make a fortune when stocks crash [26:30] How to find high-quality long positions [29:45] Enjoyed this episode?

We're changing up the format a bit today…  Instead of the usual interview, I’m hosting a Q&A session. (By the time you get this, I’ll be on a plane to Vegas to celebrate my wife's birthday.) Today’s show covers a wide range of topics, including: Is the market pricing in enough future rate hikes? [1:15] What equity risk premium (ERP) is—and why it spells trouble for stocks [4:30] How to make massive profits during a market crash [14:00] Why I thought Goldman's earnings were terrible [16:05] Are long field goals ruining the NFL? [22:30] Do I ever re-recommend old stock picks? [25:18] Enjoyed this episode?

It’s earnings season!  Daniel and I start by digging into Netflix’s latest quarterly results. Daniel highlights the numbers that impressed him the most... while I point to a few red flags investors should watch out for.  Asset manager BlackRock is taking some heat for its ESG (environmental, social, governance) stance. We break down the controversy… how it affects investment in certain areas… and whether it’s a good idea for asset managers to play politics. The White House just released a fact sheet about its plans to keep draining the strategic petroleum reserve (SPR) before refilling it next year. Daniel breaks down this absurd plan to suppress energy prices… and why it creates a major tailwind for investors looking for reliable and growing income. In this episode Daniel’s take on Netflix’s earnings [0:50] A few Netflix red flags to watch out for [6:10] Blackrock’s ESG drama [17:44] The White House’s absurd plan for the SPR [24:35] Frank’s favorite picks in the oil sector [35:00] Where to find reliable and growing dividends [38:10] Enjoyed this episode?

Markets are in rally mode, having risen a few percentage points in just days. But before you get too bullish, listen to what’s behind it…  On today’s show, I share why the strong start to earnings season is misleading... why the market isn’t as cheap as it looks… and why next year’s earnings estimates need to come way down.  My bearish thesis hasn't changed—and this mini rally gives us the perfect opportunity to bet against the market. Last week, I hosted an emergency briefing to share an amazing strategy for multiplying your money as stocks fall. In this episode What’s really behind this rally [0:30] Earnings aren’t as good as they look [8:35] Why stocks can’t keep rising [19:20] The current market P/E is misleading [22:55] How to make a fortune once stocks start crashing again [34:30] Enjoyed this episode?
