    Gold Could Hit $6,000 in the Next 12 Months

    On this week's Stansberry Investor Hour, Dan and Corey welcome Nick Hodge to the show. Nick is the editor of Underground Alpha at Digest Publishing and an expert natural resource investor. Nick kicks off the show by discussing how he got into natural resource investing. He says that he began with a focus on clean technology but switched lanes after the great financial crisis hit. Sharing a case study, Nick talks about antimony miner Perpetua Resources and notes that "the smart money is now here" in the natural resource space. Nick also makes his bullish case for $5,000 or $6,000 gold over the next 12 to 18 months – there are more buyers than sellers, the metal is "underowned," and crypto traders continue to enter the space. (0:00) Next, Nick says his specialty is evaluating junior miners, so he dives deep into what he looks for in each company – both in terms of share structure and management. After that, Nick covers human psychology versus the cyclical nature of natural resources, the U.S. outsourcing the production and refining of rare earths and minerals to China, and why the federal government is now scrambling to reverse the outsourcing. He explains that we're still at the very beginning of this growth trend, so there's time for investors to profit for years to come. (19:39) Finally, Nick explains the nuance in precious metals investing, including the difference between heavy and light rare earths. He then shares the name of a technology company he likes today that tracks and digitizes mining-company data. Nick says that it "brings mining out from the opaque nature that it has into a transparent nature." And he closes with a conversation about the importance of investing in precious metals in such rough economic times. (39:00)

    Today's Market Is Different From Any One Before It

    On this week's Stansberry Investor Hour, Corey welcomes Josh Brown to the show. Josh is the CEO and co-founder of investment advisory firm Ritholtz Wealth Management, as well as an author and co-host of The Compound and Friends podcast. Josh kicks things off by discussing how his lack of formal education in economics sets him apart in the world of financial media, the importance of relying on your own instincts, and what it was like interviewing legendary investor Peter Lynch. He also talks a bit about how he got to where he is today, including falling in love with the stock market from a young age and the "anti-mentors" he had growing up who showed him firsthand what not to do. Plus, he shares his thoughts on financial media. (0:00) Next, Josh explores what's happening with today's bull market – why it's not 1999 all over again, how folks are underestimating the power of earnings, and AI being in a bubble that will inevitably end. After that, he discusses how he helps his clients, why investors should take on risk earlier in life rather than later, and how Ritholtz withstood losing its biggest client a week before launch to grow to where it is today, with more than $6 billion in assets under management. He notes that being able to scale the business responsibly is a balancing act. (12:32) Finally, Josh explains an important lesson he learned from Shake Shack founder Daniel Meyer about putting your employees first, why he wrote his latest book (You Weren't Supposed to See That), and what's different about today's market versus past markets. He points out that even when the Federal Reserve was hiking rates aggressively, the economy was just fine, so clearly our current market doesn't adhere to previous norms. And Josh closes things out with a discussion about why we might never again get a cyclical recession and what worries him about today's market. (26:51)

    Inside Venture Capital – the Hidden Force Powering Innovation

    On this week's Stansberry Investor Hour, Dan and Corey welcome Adrian Fenty to the show. Adrian is the founding managing partner of MaC Venture Capital, an early-stage venture-capital ("VC") firm investing in visionary founders. Before breaking into VC, Adrian was the mayor of Washington, D.C. from 2007 to 2011. Adrian kicks off the show by discussing how he transitioned from politics to VC, starting with investing in education-technology companies and working at established firm Andreessen Horowitz. As he explains, VC is still the Wild West of investing, so he searches to find "technical" founders with big ideas. Adrian also covers which sorts of companies MaC is invested in right now and how he helps them grow. (0:00) Next, Adrian talks about AI investing in the VC space – what conversations are happening and how companies are keeping up in this new and rapidly evolving ecosystem. He says that the U.S. is "building the future through technology," and it's drawing talent from all over the world. Adrian then discusses why he doesn't encourage early exits, the pattern of larger companies "acqui-hiring" AI engineers and founders from smaller companies, and how he finds promising startups to invest in. (17:26) Finally, Adrian talks politics. Once D.C.'s youngest mayor, he shares his thoughts on city governments and politicians not doing enough for their people, especially in terms of trying to reduce crime. His solution for this problem involves putting someone ambitious and qualified in charge of the efforts. Adrian says that, similar to management at successful companies, city officials need to tackle problems head on and not let them fester. He then finishes with a discussion about Americans "letting politicians off too easy," gives his opinion on the upcoming New York City mayoral election, and argues that the government needs to be held to higher standards.

    What to Do While Everyone's Chasing the Same Seven Stocks

    On this week's Stansberry Investor Hour, Dan and Corey are joined by their colleague Gabe Marshank. Gabe is the editor of the new Market Maven newsletter, an advisory focused on asymmetric risk-versus-reward opportunities in the stock market. He's also senior analyst on Stansberry's Investment Advisory and Commodity Supercycles. Gabe kicks things off by describing how he got his start in finance, including discovering the world of hedge funds and working for investing legends Leon Cooperman, Steve Cohen, and David Einhorn. He shares what he learned from each investor and how those lessons have affected his current strategy. Gabe also discusses how today's financial world has changed since the 20th century, why the idea of value investing from Benjamin Graham's era is outdated, bankruptcy being capitalism's greatest tool, and what the dot-com boom tells us about future AI success stories. (0:00) Next, Gabe dives deep on Apple. He says the company has bungled its lead on agentic AI in phones, similar to how IBM fumbled its lead with PCs. As he points out, most of the top 10 stocks in the S&P 500 Index change each decade. So he's looking forward to finding what companies could replace today's big dogs. This leads Gabe to critique Microsoft and Amazon Web Services as "at risk," advise listeners not to worry about a potential AI market crash, and explain why he's looking outside of tech for opportunities today. (21:28) Finally, Gabe says consumer discretionary would be a good sector to investigate for future winners, as it's likely to benefit from AI transformations. He emphasizes that AI does not just mean chatbots and large language models – it's machine learning, too. Industries like onshore oil drilling have been using that technology already to improve their efficiency. Gabe then closes the show out with a conversation about copper prices and the commodity industry as a whole. (38:18)

    Tiptoe Away From the Ground Zero of AI

    On this week's Stansberry Investor Hour, Dan and Corey are joined by Eric Fry. Eric is the editor of multiple newsletters at our corporate affiliate InvestorPlace, including Fry's Investment Report and The Speculator.  Eric kicks off the show by discussing his time working alongside legendary financial publisher Jim Grant and his top-down approach to investing. His strategy involves finding industry leaders that have fallen on hard times but still have favorable underlying dynamics. Eric says that with this method, he has collected 100%-plus gains in the past few years in companies like Amazon and Corning. He also talks about investing in foreign stocks, the unbalanced risk in microcaps that many investors don't consider, and three industries he stays away from. (0:00) Next, Eric shares his time horizon for investing, whether he recommends adding to existing winners, his past experience with bitcoin, and the advice he gives his subscribers on position sizing and risk management. He notes that investors will often overstate their risk tolerance and understate their investment goals, which can cause problems. This leads to a conversation about the advantages of long-dated options versus short-term options. (20:39) Finally, Eric breaks the world of AI investment down into four groups: builders, enablers, appliers, and survivors. He says most of his current investment ideas are focused on the survivor category – and he names three such stocks he likes today. This includes a for-profit thrift-store chain, an English beverage company with rising U.S. sales, and an international food-delivery company that just became profitable. (40:03)

    How to Bottom Fish and Find Turnarounds

    On this week's Stansberry Investor Hour, Dan and Corey welcome their colleague Whitney Tilson back to the show. Whitney is the editor of multiple newsletters at Stansberry Research, including our flagship Stansberry's Investment Advisory, Commodity Supercycles, and the free Whitney Tilson's Daily. Whitney kicks things off by discussing how he became a "make money" investor, his simple method for picking winning stocks, and a few lessons he has learned from decades in the market. He advises listeners to let their winners run and to hold them for a long period of time, as that's the only way to outperform index funds. Whitney also shares the story of missing out on Netflix's 100-bagger gains, makes a bullish case for Salesforce, and gives his thoughts on particular players in the AI space, such as Palantir Technologies. (0:00) Next, Whitney talks about the cannabis stock bubble, scam Chinese stocks, and why he's "pounding the table" on Alphabet and Meta Platforms. Using Adobe as an example, he tells listeners to start considering how AI will affect existing businesses and their share prices, especially if it's in negative ways. Plus, he goes in depth on index funds – their benefits, how his strategy has shifted to include market-cap-neutral funds, and which funds he likes today. (22:28) Finally, Whitney explains the power of compounding and discusses the opportunity today in clothing maker Lululemon. Despite "really struggling with" the stock, he believes it could be a big winner down the line. The secret, Whitney says, is finding good companies with headwinds that knock the stock way down but that are temporary. And to close the show out, Whitney covers the pitfalls of short selling, why you should never bet against companies that make products people love, and his most speculative stock idea today. (41:59)

    China Isn't the Enemy – It's an Investing Opportunity

    On this week's Stansberry Investor Hour, Dan and Corey are joined by Kevin Duffy. Kevin is the founder and editor of The Coffee Can Portfolio newsletter. He's also co-founder and principal of the investment-management firm Bearing Asset Management. Kevin kicks off the show by talking about The Coffee Can Portfolio, the investors who have inspired his work, and his outlook on some long-term secular trends, including fiat currencies. He explains that most trends today harken back to the American Revolution, as that was when centralization really began in the U.S. Kevin walks listeners through several key points in history that got us to where we are today. Plus, he explores the false beliefs of the dot-com boom, the market's current euphoria around AI, and the obvious threat to Nvidia that many investors are overlooking. (0:42) Next, Kevin dives deep on China. He discusses what he has learned by studying the country's stock market, why he's bullish on Chinese stocks, and the 50% discount that these stocks offer. Using Japan as an example, Kevin advises listeners to always question the popular economic narrative, as it can be completely wrong, especially at the end of major manias. He says the biggest culprits behind China's negative narrative today are the U.S. government and misplaced anger over worsening living standards. (18:45) Finally, Kevin talks about the flaws in modern economics and financial logic, the importance of educating oneself on economics and learning from past mistakes, and the future consequences of the U.S. isolating itself while the rest of the world comes together. He says there are still some stock opportunities in the U.S., but the best opportunities are in Asia. (37:14)

    Buy the AI Boom's Quiet Beneficiaries

    On this week's Stansberry Investor Hour, Dan and Corey welcome Marc Chaikin back to the show. Marc is the founder of our corporate affiliate Chaikin Analytics and a market veteran of more than 50 years. Marc kicks off the show by explaining why he's bullish through the first quarter of next year, the implications behind a Federal Reserve rate-cutting cycle, the opportunity today in homebuilders and biotech, and what's happening in the bond market with the "bond vigilantes." He breaks down the three factors driving the market right now and lists a few "less obvious" sectors and companies that are benefiting from these factors. (1:04) Next, Marc discusses his Power Gauge system and how it gives you an inside look into what folks on Wall Street are doing. After, he delves into how the current AI boom resembles the dot-com boom, a "mini bubble in the making" for data-management company Oracle, and China being behind gold's soaring price. Using the Power Gauge in real time, Marc gives listeners several gold-mining and construction stocks that are rated bullish by his system. (18:31) Finally, Marc reminds listeners that small caps were the real winners when the dot-com bubble burst, so that could happen again when the AI bubble inevitably bursts. This leads to a conversation about the late investment adviser Marty Zweig and his timeless advice for investors. Then, to close the show out, Marc speaks about the significance of this leg of the bull market being fueled by capital spending rather than customers... millennials investing in stocks... and fundamentals not mattering for younger investors.
