Wall Street Unplugged - What's Really Moving These Markets

There are a lot of doom-and-gloomers out there warning about an impending credit crisis… And I know many of you are worried. Today, I explain why you can stop losing sleep over your portfolios. I speak directly to anyone over the age of 55. But don't worry if you're not in that demographic yet… everyone will benefit from this segment. I also welcome back Chris MacIntosh, founder and editor of Capi...

Happy 4th of July! This is a special holiday for me. It brings back great childhood memories of our summer house in upstate New York. That's where my late dad put on a firework display that would put most professional displays to shame. I hope all of you enjoy time with your family. Drink a few beers, tell some great stories, and enjoy the barbecue. When you're done, you'll love my interview this...

Pullbacks in the markets can be disconcerting… but recent activity is perfectly normal. As I'll explain, it's actually healthy when stocks pull back gradually… and based on the current fundamental and economic landscape, I suggest using this pullback as a buying opportunity. I also welcome Lenore Hawkins, 20-year market veteran and chief macro strategist at Tematica Research. Lenore breaks down th...

Financials are down almost 20% on the year… close to bear market territory. But the Fed releases stress test results tomorrow. The banks that pass will be allowed to significantly raise their dividend and launch huge buyback programs… On today's show, I'll tell you about about the huge short-term catalysts ahead for this dirt-cheap sector. I also talk to Nate Flanders, cryptocurrency expert and fo...

The wait is over... It's been a long time coming, but the AT&T-Time Warner merger is happening. This is one of the largest deals in history, and I'll break it all down for you on today's show… I'll also tell you why this is such an amazing opportunity for AT&T investors. And, this week, I welcome back my good friend―and host of The Disciplined Investor―Andrew Horowitz. Andrew and I have a spirited...

No... it's not just you. Geopolitical change is on all our minds. Right now, everyone's talking about the turmoil in Italy… but the truth is, this'll have a minimal impact on the U.S. market. I'll tell you why on today's show. But first, I welcome back Steve Koomar, publisher and editor of Vigilante Investor. Steve believes stocks are positioned to show great returns over the next decade. He also...

I hope you have a pen and notepad ready for today's show... My good friend Marin Katusa returns to tell us why gold could go a lot lower over the next few months. He suggests buying a popular commodity instead… which he largely avoided for the past decade. Marin is one of the best resource investors I know. And although he's bearish on gold in the short-term, we discuss why that's a positive for u...

There's been a lot of pressure on mining stocks, and I know a lot of you are wondering if the bottom is in and it's time to buy. Jeff Phillips, President of Global Market Development, joins me this week to share what will be a boost to these companies… what he looks for in a resource investment… and where to find value. You'll also hear Jeff's favorite ideas in gold and uranium today...

Welcome back to Wall Street Unplugged. Today, everyone is talking about the 10-year Treasury yield—namely, how it just broke 3% for the first time in years. Here's the truth: this isn't a big deal—no matter what the media say. This number is still well below historical norms… However, it does present us with a buying opportunity… which I'll tell you about in today's show. But before I get to that,...

Ignore the crazy headlines… In this episode, we talk about how to use the media's "agenda" to pocket huge gains in stocks. Most headlines are exaggerated. They include phrases like "market crash" and "trade wars." It doesn't matter. The market is flat this year and America is not in a trade war with any nation… The media exaggerates these headlines to get page views. That's how they make money. Ye...

Welcome back to Wall Street Unplugged. This week, my guest is Mike Alkin, editor of Moneyflow Trader and host of the Talking Stocks Over a Beer podcast. Even though Mike writes his newsletter for Curzio Research, he and I often have differing views on the markets. (Mike is bearish and I'm more of a bull.) Even so, we generally find common ground. I have a lot of respect for his knowledge and opini...

Welcome back to Frankly Speaking. There are a lot of myths surrounding hedge funds, particularly how much yield they create vs. how much it costs you to invest in them. Today I debunk some of those myths, and remind you of the risks vs. rewards of hedge funds. Remember, the better they do, the more risk they take with your money. I also discuss some big changes coming to Curzio Research. We're get...

Stocks Mentioned: AMZN FB MCD WMT AAP...

Unlike many newsletter writers, Steve always backs up his thesis with hard facts, and I learn something new from every issue. Steve and I discuss all the negative headlines about Trump's n...

March Madness is upon us! As many of you know, college basketball is my favorite sport. Today, I kick off the show by breaking down the brackets and sharing my predictions for who will make the Final Four. But even if you're not a sports fan, you'll want to stay tuned, because later on, I interview the brilliant Marin Katusa, founder of Katusa Research. Marin is a good friend of mine and a regular...

Today, we're going to tackle some of the biggest issues on every investor's mind: inflation and a potential trade war. First, we'll consult with John Petrides of Point View Wealth Management. I try to have John on the show at least once a quarter, because he's incredibly knowledgeable on all areas of the market.
