10-Minute Contrarian

Ohhhh mama we got a lot for you here.  Mostly bullish.  But as always, we take a grown-up, zoomed-out approach and when we do there's a lot of excitement to be had, but it's not all cake and ice cream.  We explore both sides, give VPs Bitcoin prediction for 2025, and mention the #1 sector to look out for going forward, in a long Episode 187.   Current Crypto Portfolio -  https://nononsenseforex.co...

Gold and Silver should both get pretty spicy in 2025.  But in which direction?  Could be both.  VP lays out the reasons behind his 2025 gold and silver price predictions, and shows which parts of the world will be most responsible.  Plus some hot silver data as a bonus.   Recommended Crypto Trading Platform (And Bonus Eligibility) - https://nononsenseforex.com/cryptocurrencies/best-crypto-trading-...

Get ready for chaos.  And markets don't like chaos.  We go over the main drivers of the 2025 macro scene (there are less than usual, thankfully), and VP puts out his predictions for the S&P 500 and the USD.     Recommended Crypto Trading Platform (And Bonus Eligibility) - https://nononsenseforex.com/cryptocurrencies/best-crypto-trading-platform/   For Decentralized Crypto Trading (US Citizens...

We made over/under price predictions in January of this year.  Let's see how we did!  Predictions made for the S&P 500, Gold, Silver, Oil, Copper, NatGas, Uranium, Bitcoin, and the USD.   Recommended Crypto Trading Platform (And Bonus Eligibility) - https://nononsenseforex.com/cryptocurrencies/best-crypto-trading-platform/   For Decentralized Crypto Trading (US Citizens Can Join) - https://non...

So you think we're out of the woods, and things are going to be great again, don't you?  Dumbass.  That's exactly when things go south in a hurry.  Check your history.  Any real contrarian would not only know this, but start ratcheting up their defensive playbook and make sure they are well set up to participate in all of the great potential upside we're all hoping for, while making sure they don'...

If you're doing this whole contrarian investing thing right, you're taking some of the profits you just made, and rotating them into things that are cheap.  Problem is, there's not much cheap out there right now.  Or is there?  I've waited a LONG time to talk about Lithium.  But it's finally time we had a serious chat about it.   Recommended Crypto Trading Platform (And Bonus Eligibility) - https:...

They laughed at us.  They laughed at the projects we loved and supported.  And now they've all been left behind, because they don't get to participate in the future of blockchain the way we do here at the podcast.  Episode 181 goes over the older projects and tokens we invested in, and had the patience to wait out, where others folded.   Recommended Crypto Trading Platform (And Bonus Eligibility)...

Everybody loses, even us if you can believe it.  So we need to take advantage of the beautiful loss mitigation known as Tax Loss Harvesting, and in Episode 180, VP explains how he is handling it and how you may want to do the same.  Because losses were a bit hard to come by this year....   Recommended Crypto Trading Platform (And Bonus Eligibility) - https://nononsenseforex.com/cryptocurrencies/be...

Most people just sit there and eat their balls when it comes to the value of the money in their bank accounts going down over time.  What if it didn't have to be that way?  We already have safe havens like gold to run to, but you want further diversification than just gold or Bitcoin.  Most people have no options beyond this.  Sucks for them, but not for us.  So what IS this unique advantage almos...

G's only for this one.  Closed End Funds (CEFs) are probably the most overlooked investment out there.  If more people actually knew what the hell they were, they certainly wouldn't be overlooked.  We briefly explain what CEFs are, and also explain how contrarians like us can take huge advantage of them, here in Episode 178.   Stephen Bavaria on Adam Taggert's Podcast - https://www.youtube.com/wat...

A lot of people just learned a very tough lesson this past week, but we are ALL vulnerable to putting our emotions and more importantly our money in the wrong places because we either cannot deal with, or are simply unaware of the uncomfortable truths out there in the world.  One of the biggest ones out there right now is where, geographically, you should be looking to put your money.   Raoul/Pete...

Whoever wins the US Elections this week will likely help determine the fate of a number of instruments and sectors we like to invest in.  So in Episode 176, we go over the probabilities of each candidate winning, but far more importantly what a victory for each side could mean for our current and future holdings.   Recommended Crypto Trading Platform (And Bonus Eligibility) - https://nononsensefor...

Once the recovery is officially in place, you're going to get a LOT of signals from a LOT of stocks and ETFs.  Which ones do you choose?  Last week we talked about the fundamentals side of the equation, and in Episode 175, we go over the technicals -- even more than we have in the past.  Because that's where the gold really sits.   Recommended Crypto Trading Platform (And Bonus Eligibility) - http...

Fundamentals are much more important in stocks and ETFs than they are in FX, metals, and crypto.  But what if we could use this to our advantage?  And what if we could do it for free?  We can.  Everyone can.  But like anything, there are better ways to do it.  Let's add yet another advantage to our investing.   Recommended Crypto Trading Platform (And Bonus Eligibility) - https://nononsenseforex.c...

The monthly chart is a cheat code -- for investing.  You wanna talk about a rare and special advantage we have over your average investor, this is the most obvious one.  We simply do not have to take the same kinds of losses others do.  This can do remarkable things to your average yearly return.  But there's a particular way to use the monthly chart for this purpose, and spoiler alert -- it's stu...

When it comes to our investment portfolio, we have already learned just what kind of impact a higher yearly return can give us, and how soon we can double our accounts.  What if I told you that we, the contrarians, can get a much larger total return than your average investor can, or even your average firm?  What could those added percentage points do for you?  There are LOTS of them out there ava...

This is a big deal.  A little really does go a long way, but only if you are aware of it, and you are doing everything you can to gain percentage points where you can, and eliminate them elsewhere.  Don't know what I'm talking about?  You better learn.  And the sooner the better.   Rule of 72 Cheat Sheet -  https://images.app.goo.gl/tbRNUVFYE1HrsSqs5   Recommended Crypto Trading Platform (And Bonu...

All of the pieces are now in place.  We have officially entered the cutting phase, the yield curve inversion, and a couple of other very key tell-tale signs that the recession is on its way.  We break these signs down further, and as always go over our solutions in Episode 170.   Recommended Crypto Trading Platform (And Bonus Eligibility) - https://nononsenseforex.com/cryptocurrencies/best-crypto-...

Is it a crime to want to be left alone?  Is it bad to want people to be able to say whatever they want to say, and let the public process it how they see fit?  Are there long-term financial implications to stifling these two ideas?  Maybe we should be a lot more focused on matters like this, because they affect our lives in more ways than your average person realizes.  Or maybe....   Peter's Video...

I couldn't pass up on the chance to own the next possible Solana.  I even had to get rid of a token I liked.  Check out the complete breakdown of why both things happened, here in Episode 168.   Recommended Crypto Trading Platform (And Bonus Eligibility) - https://nononsenseforex.com/cryptocurrencies/best-crypto-trading-platform/   For Decentralized Crypto Trading (US Citizens Can Join) - https://...

It's been 167 episodes, and we have yet to dive deep into one of, if not THE biggest things rich people take advantage of.  Dividend investing is pretty great, and a lot of contrarians are either already actively doing it, or very interested.  Maybe we have waited too long to cover this, and need to start doing it right now.  Or maybe.....   Recommended Crypto Trading Platform (And Bonus Eligibili...

Fed Chairmen Jerome Powell made it official yesterday that rates are going to start dropping.  The market rejoiced.  People think it's up only for awhile.  Episode 166 talks about this, and what we need to do to prepare and max out this potential opportunity.   Recommended Crypto Trading Platform (And Bonus Eligibility) - https://nononsenseforex.com/cryptocurrencies/best-crypto-trading-platform/  ...

Raise your hand if you knew gold hit new highs this week?  Keep your hands up if you heard the craziness going on in Mexico regarding silver.  Okay, the two of you can leave.  For the rest of you, you're going to want to catch Episode 165.   Recommended Crypto Trading Platform (And Bonus Eligibility) - https://nononsenseforex.com/cryptocurrencies/best-crypto-trading-platform/   For Decentralized C...

Last Monday was a day unlike most of us have seen in a long time.  Even though we have partially recovered in a lot of ways, most people were quite pessimistic about any type of recovery when the market was falling the way it was.  What if I told you there were going to be several more days ahead just like this?  And that one of those days was going to be "the big one"?  Should we be buying anythi...

We need to take what the market gifts us, it's all part of being disciplined.  And fortunate for us, almost every time we get these gifts, they have paid off well.  And guess what?  It's happening again.  You know what to do.   ByBit Card Link -  https://www.bybitcard.com/?affiliate_id=33431 (VIP clients not from Europe can select the "Australia" option)   Recommended Crypto Trading Platform (And...
