Ep182: Lithium

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.

Ep181: Dinosaur Tokens FTW!!

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.

Ep180: Tax Loss Harvesting

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....

Ep179: Trade Your Money

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 almost all of my listeners have over everyone else? The answer is in the title. Recommended Crypto Trading Pla...

Ep178: Closed End Funds

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.

Ep177: Uncomfortable Truths

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.

Ep176: The Election Episode

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.

Ep175: Up Your Odds Even MORE

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.

Ep174: Fundamentals For Free

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.

Ep173: The Monthly Chart

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 stupid easy.

Ep172: We Have HUGE Advantages

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 available to you, if you know where to look. Recommended Crypto Trading Platform (And Bonus Eligibility) -...

Ep171: "Rule of 72"

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.

Ep170: The Countdown Begins

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.

Ep169: On Privacy

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....

Ep167: Why No Dividend Talk Yet?

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.

Ep164: Panic at the 24 Hour Disco

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 anything at all in this environment?

We're going over a concept we've never talked about before. Not that anyone has noticed, but the spot price of copper has dropped almost 20% in the past 5 weeks. This should have been a bloodbath for copper mining stocks, which are so seldomly held. But we can learn a lot from what happened instead.

We've been in a very defensive mode lately, but when you get irrational drops of this size in the crypto market, it's hard not to want to take advantage -- because every time we have done this in the past, it has paid off nicely for us.

Fintech apps are a great invention, but yours is probably in bigger danger than you think it is.
