I start today's podcast with the headlines you should pay attention to about digital assets, NFTs, and the billions flowing into this space… Then, Dr. Ravi Singh, internet pioneer with a Ph.D in social media and technology, joins me to explain what you need to know about NFTs… how you could use them to monetize your social media—and even build generational wealth for your great-grandkids… and why NFTs will be extremely valuable in the metaverse. Plus, he shares what he learned about influence an...

After yesterday's market selloff, investors are processing a lot of negative news… I break down the details of the latest inflation numbers… why yesterday's Consumer Price Index (CPI) data doesn't paint an accurate picture of what's really going on… and why the Fed should be focused on today's Producer Price Index (PPI) numbers—which tell a completely different story. Plus, I share why I think there's more pain ahead for the stock market. Despite the 10% pullback in Bitcoin yesterday, Daniel sha...

Markets are down sharply as today's Consumer Price Index (CPI) data came in hotter than expected—leaving investors worried the Fed will continue its aggressive interest rate hikes. Prepare for a rant on the government's "creative" inflation calculations… and why the Fed should ignore the CPI figure altogether—but won't. I explain how world governments are contributing to 40-year-high inflation… what the Fed should do to finally tame it… and why markets could drop 20% from here if the Fed doesn't...

BlackRock, the world's largest asset manager, is partnering with Coinbase to offer crypto to its clients. Daniel and I discuss why this is huge for the crypto space… and why every investor should have exposure to crypto—even during this brutal bear market. We also highlight when we expect the U.S. government to clarify crypto regulations. Samsung recently warned investors that semiconductor demand will drop in the second half of 2022. I break down this grim economic warning… and the similar sign...

Fed members can't help themselves: They continue to move markets with their speeches and seem dead-set on crashing every asset class. (And Daniel thinks the Fed is trolling me.) The Wall Street Journal reports that the Fed may hike interest rates by another 75 basis points later this month… and continue its aggressive path for the foreseeable future. I break down how hard and fast stocks will fall from current levels if the Fed follows through on this plan. In fact, it's pushing us towards a dep...

I'm getting a lot of questions regarding last week's monologue, when I stated I'd gone bearish. While data shows inflation is coming down—along with the price of oil (the sector with the largest impact on consumers)—the Fed seems hell-bent on more interest rate hikes. I share what I need to see to rejoin the bullish camp… and why I'm struggling to find a growth catalyst for markets. But it's not all negative… There are two sectors you can scale into now… and reap the rewards once the Fed finally...

Marc Lichtenfeld, chief income strategist at The Oxford Club, is back on the show to discuss the economy… income opportunities… and biotech. He explains why the market pullback is great for income investors… how to accelerate the long-term compounding process—a financial phenomenon most investors ignore… and why he's looking at bonds for income. Income investors should also consider Unlimited Income, where the average recommendation is still up… and spitting out consistent cash payments month af...

Today's show starts with a look at the recent earnings from Chewy (CHWY), an online marketplace for pet-related goods. Daniel and I discuss the results… what they tell us about consumers' spending habits… and what to watch out for when investing in retailers. Despite the ongoing market volatility, I highlight one asset class everyone should be buying right now… and why it's poised to rip higher on any sign of a slowdown in the Fed's interest rate hikes. We'll be taking advantage of the uptrend i...

I start today's show with a non-financial story: Paddling is coming back to schools. I share some wild facts around corporal punishment laws… and my own experience as a Catholic school student—including what the nuns were really like. The markets are in turmoil after Powell's speech last week at Jackson Hole. And the volatility has sent Genia's risk-hedge strategy into "overdrive." Be sure you've got the kind of protection she recommends in place before September 21—the next Fed meeting… It will...

As you probably know, I just got back from the Crypto Connect & NFT Expo… And despite the crypto bear market, the attendees' energy was electric. I highlight the critical feature that has everybody excited about the metaverse's game-changing potential. Longtime listeners know I've been pounding the table on metaverse investing. If you're still on the fence, the ultimate validation is this: investment banks have been quietly pouring billions into this tech—during a bear market. They predict i...

Stocks moved lower yesterday as investors worried about Fed Chair Jerome Powell's upcoming speech from Jackson Hole, Wyoming. I continue to pound the table on why the Fed is the biggest risk to the markets. I highlight how the Fed has crushed a major sector just six months… and what possible actions would cause me to sell stocks. And while the Fed's plan to tame inflation is working, I explain how the shift in consumer behavior is hurting several industries. I'm back from the Crypto Connect &...

Today's interview is one of many fantastic conversations I recorded at last month's Metaverse Expo 2022… Multi-platinum recording artist Dyl shares how he struggled to make money, despite his hits… how he discovered crypto… and how he blended it with his passion—music. He explains how he's made more money with non-fungible tokens (NFTs) than from his 10-year record contract… why they're a win-win for artists and fans alike… and how NFTs and the metaverse will revolutionize the entire music indus...

We start today's show by comparing recent earnings from Target (TGT) vs. Walmart (WMT)… what they say about how big retailers are handling inflation… and which stock has more upside from current levels. Meme stock Bed Bath & Beyond (BBBY) has surged nearly 100% in just five trading days. We highlight what's behind the massive move (it's not retail investors)... and share some sobering details about the stock's fundamentals. Turning to 13F filings, we share where the smart money is investing ...

This past weekend, I went to Saratoga to watch the races with some lifelong friends. My dad was a huge horse racing fan… and I share some of my favorite memories from our trips to the track. Places like Saratoga can tell us a lot about the economy. I highlight what I saw—including the crowd sizes and prices—and whether it lines up with investors' fears about a recession. Speaking of boots-on-the-ground research, I'll be at the Crypto Connect & NFT Expo in Palm Beach, Florida this weekend. If...

Stocks are surging as the latest data shows inflation is moderating—but we're not out of the woods yet. I break down the market's positive reaction to the news… and what the data means for future interest rate hikes. And while the Fed's plan to lower inflation is working… I explain why Fed members remain the biggest threat to the market. I also highlight which stocks will soar—and which ones will struggle—as inflation comes down. By the way, later this week, Curzio Research Advisory members will...

Today I look under the hood of this earnings season. The results have been solid overall—but the headlines can be misleading... Federal Reserve members continue to trigger market volatility with their speculative comments. While this drives me crazy, I give credit to the Fed for its plan to fight inflation. Next, I break down why—despite mixed earnings, rising rates, and massive inflation—this environment is actually good for stocks... I explain how to find quality companies that will shine rega...

Earlier this week, a Fed member suggested hiking interest rates from 2.5% to 4% by the end of the year. Daniel explains why this isn't feasible without crashing the market… I go on a rant about the Fed… and why idiotic comments from its members continue to be the biggest risk in the markets. For instance, the Fed said it needs to see evidence inflation is coming down before it alters its rate-hiking path. I give it to them… Turning to earnings: Ford (F) finally seems to be getting its act togeth...

Frank's on vacation with his family, so I (Daniel) am behind the mic this week. The market surged after Fed Chair Jerome Powell's press conference yesterday, which followed another 75-basis-point interest rate hike. I break down what he said that sent markets soaring… and what it means for "risk-on" assets going forward. The next Fed meeting isn't until September, which means investors can shift their attention back to inflation and the economy. I share what to expect from inflation over the nex...

Frank is on vacation for the rest of the week, so I (Daniel) am behind the mic.

(I'll cover the market reaction on tomorrow's show.) I also dig into into Coinbase's insider trading drama, including the bad blood between Coinbase and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). I explain why you need to...

To start today's show, Daniel and I discuss the ultimate DIY project: building your own casket. Despite horrible sentiment going into the quarter, Netflix (NFLX) reported better-than-expected Q2 earnings yesterday. We share how the company is maturing… and why it's becoming a value stock.

Brace yourself… today's show offers something that's non-existent in the current market: optimism. Believe it or not, the widespread negativity is actually a bullish sign for investors. On today's podcast, I recap the last week of trading, the 40-year high in inflation, and what to expect from the Fed next week. There are a lot of issues putting pressure on the market, but here's the bottom line: You need to be a contrarian… especially now that nearly everyone is bearish. I also sift through the...

This morning's Consumer Price Index (CPI) reading came in at a staggering 9.1%... but because the CPI is a lagging indicator, this number leaves out important data that shows we could be near peak inflation. I explain why inflation is no longer the biggest threat to the market… and what's really concerning me about the economy right now. And Daniel and I debate what the Fed needs to do to bring back the bull market. Could Elon Musk end up in hot water—or even jail—for backing out of his deal to ...
