BONUS • PVG's Patrick Adams: The Secret to "Loss Averse" Investing
Many investors only focus on potential PROFITS when they buy and sell stocks. But savvy investors know to focus on potential risks, too – and take steps to mitigate them when markets get volatile. Patrick Adams, CEO of PVG Asset Management, has honed his skills during a 38-year career in money management. In this episode recorded at the 2024 MoneyShow Masters Symposium Las Vegas, he explains the secret behind “loss averse investing”...and why the approach is so important in this market environment. Patrick also discusses the various income, growth, and biotech strategies PVG offers...why he’s cautious on the market here...but how he’s still keen on opportunities in small caps and quality, blue chip companies.

Peter Schiff: Act NOW to Avoid Debt and Dollar Debacle
Crushing government debt. A deepening recession. A collapsing US dollar. Chaos in the financial markets. It could soon be headed your way. But all is not lost, either. Target the right commodities, stocks, and markets, and you won’t just come out relatively unscathed. You’ll have the chance to pocket sizable profits. That’s the worldview and advice shared by Peter Schiff, chief global strategist at Euro Pacific Asset Management, in this week’s MoneyShow MoneyMasters Podcast segment.Peter starts by comparing TODAY’s environment to the one leading up to the 2008-2009 Great Financial Crisis. In his words, the situation today is “eerily familiar” and the consequences of inaction by investors could be “catastrophic.” He goes on to note that investors made a lot of money in the 1950s and 1960s investing in the “Nvidias of their day” like Polaroid and Xerox. But anyone who didn’t shift their approach for the stagflationary 1970s – and target NEW investments like commodities, gold, oil, foreign currencies, and the like – got crushed.Peter next proposes that the Fed hasn’t slayed inflation, and that it’s poised to turn up again. He adds that record government and household debt will lead to serious economic problems – even IF the Fed starts cutting interest rates soon. In short, it’s a “toxic cocktail we’re about to drink” – and that requires protective and proactive action. He lays out investment strategies that he believes will work best in this new currency, commodity, and equity market regime. That includes buying shares of companies that prosper from inflation, foreign stocks that will benefit in a falling-dollar environment, and gold. Finally, Peter previews what he’ll talk about at the 2024 MoneyShow Orlando, scheduled for Oct. 17-19 at the Omni Orlando Resort at ChampionsGate.

Tom Hayes: “Turnaround Tom” Talks Stocks, Strategies for 2024-25
The stock market is having a great year...but August and September have been much more volatile. Two key market catalysts are looming, too: A Federal Reserve meeting in September, where we’ll likely get the first rate cut in four-plus years, AND the presidential election in November. So, what stocks and strategies make the most sense? Where can investors find a built-in margin of safety AND the potential for doubles, triples, or even “multi-baggers”? I checked in with the man nicknamed “Turnaround Tom” for this week’s MoneyShow MoneyMasters Podcast segment. He is Tom Hayes, founder, chairman, and managing member of Great Hill Capital – as well as the man behind the Hedge Fund Tips investment commentary website.We start the segment by discussing the market volatility, the economic outlook, and the Fed’s likely reaction to softer jobs data. Tom feels the Fed is going to cut two-three times between now and the end of the year, then see where things stand for 2025. We next pivot to a conversation about market rotation – including why more money is moving from Magnificent Seven names to the “Unmagnificent 493,” small caps, and other formerly unloved sectors and stocks. He adds that as rates and the dollar fall, THIS asset class should start to outperform, too.Tom and I then discuss two of his favorite turnaround stories – one domestic, one international. He also explains why and how turnaround investing can be so rewarding for investors – while chasing high-momentum, widely held names like Nvidia can sometimes hurt you. Finally, Tom previews what he’ll cover in more detail at the 2024 MoneyShow Masters Symposium, scheduled for Dec. 5-7 at the Hyatt Regency Sarasota.

Ashraf Laidi & Jerry Robinson: Smarter Swing Trading & Top Picks in Gold, Stocks, Bitcoin
How can you improve your swing trading results? Why should you care about the yen carry trade, the Treasury yield curve, and the AI “Boom or Bust” debate? What important intermarket relationships should you be watching when trading currencies, gold, and Bitcoin? In this special “Trader Talk” edition of the MoneyShow MoneyMasters Podcast episode, I sat down with Ashraf Laidi, founder of Intermarket Strategy Ltd., and Jerry Robinson, trend trader and founder of Followthemoney.com, to get all of those answers – and much MORE!Ashraf and Jerry start by outlining their backgrounds in the markets and how they became active traders. Ashraf details how he cut his teeth trading and talking about currencies, before branching out into other asset classes over the years. He now spends his time analyzing central bank policy, yield curves, market technicals, and most importantly, intermarket relationships, to identify attractive profit opportunities. Jerry started actively trading the markets in the late 1990s, dabbling in day trading before settling into a trading and educating career focused on swing trading and investing in equities and cryptocurrencies.We next chat about trading conditions and trends in most major asset classes. Ashraf discusses what the relationship between gold and shorter-term yields implies for traders, as well as what the recent turbulence in the dollar-yen currency pair means for stocks between now and the election. Jerry also explains why he took advantage of the recent yen carry trade shenanigans to add to his long-term holdings, and why he thinks a weaker dollar, stronger gold, and six-figure Bitcoin prices are likely coming down the pike. Each expert also shares key tips and tactics for traders interested in swing trading over the span of several days or weeks...counter-trend trading on shorter-term timeframes...and the benefit of maintaining discipline and using a rules-based approach with your trading account.Finally, both Ashraf and Jerry preview what they’ll cover in much more detail at the 2024 MoneyShow Orlando, set for Oct. 17-19 at the Omni Orlando Resort at ChampionsGate.

Tom explains how Stocktwits brings together more than 8 million users looking for new ideas, independent research, and social media-based market trend data.

Ryan explains why the enormous valuation gap between small cap and large cap stocks creates fantastic profit opportunities for investors, while Tom weighs in on the several surprising groups that are actually winning the year-to-date performance race. He also reveals three attractive names in two of those groups – as well as the important question that holds the key about the future direction of tech stocks.We then delve into specific stock picks: One gold miner from Sean...one cash-rich, dividend-hiking Canadian play from Ryan...and seven “beaten-down brand name” stocks that have high social followings and turnaround potential from Tom.

UBS's Mike Ryan: Fractures, Factions, & Two More Powerful Forces Driving the Economy and Markets
Mike Ryan is Vice Chairman of UBS Global Wealth Management. In this MoneyShow MoneyMasters Podcast episode, recorded onstage at our Las Vegas Symposium in August 2024, Mike discusses the four powerful forces impacting the economy and the markets – and how investors should adapt to their growing influences. He calls them geopolitical fracturing, social factioning, economic calcification, and technology factoring.In Mike’s words, “the world is becoming a more contentious place” and that will impact everything from U.S. trade relationships to consumer shopping habits to corporate/government interaction. Increased tribalism at home and reduced economic mobility will also increase the risk of social unrest. While AI, machine learning, quantum computing, and other technologies will prove “transformational,” they will also likely be incredibly disruptive from political, geopolitical, macroeconomic, commercial, and social standpoints.The net takeaway for investors? Allocate more money to safe-haven assets and be sure your portfolio includes a fixed income component. Also consider focusing on “national champions” that will benefit from consumer and government support. Finally, remember that monetary and fiscal policy will no longer be “uniformly and consistent” positive forces for markets going forward.To gain access to more top experts like Mike, check out the 2024 MoneyShow Orlando, set for Oct. 17-19 at the Omni Orlando Resort at ChampionsGate.

Morningstar's Christine Benz: Smart Investing, Tax, and Insurance Moves for Mid-Year Planning
Christine Benz is Director of Personal Finance at Morningstar and author of the soon-to-be-released book How to Retire: 20 Lessons for a Happy, Successful, and Wealthy Retirement. In this wide-ranging MoneyShow MoneyMasters Podcastepisode, we discuss the risks to investors of recency bias, steps to take ahead of “decumulation,” important long-term care insurance trends, and tax planning ahead of and after the 2024 presidential election.We start by chatting about the long-running stock market rally and how it’s creating risks for investors – risks that seem more tangible in light of July’s violent market rotation. Christine covers the benefits of raising some cash, and highlights her cash recommendations for investors in different age brackets and employment situations. We then discuss the benefits and drawbacks of adding alternative investments to a traditional 60/40 portfolio, plus why adding value stocks, small caps, international equities, and other non-Magnificent-Seven names can help today’s investors. As she notes, “the way that we express humility, the way we kind of say, ‘I don't know,’ is to diversify across different parts of the market.”Next, she talks about smarter tax planning strategies to consider regardless of whether Trump or Harris win in November – and ways to lessen the financial burden of long-term care needs. Then we cover the key benefits and actionable information readers will get in her book, set for release in September. Finally, she concludes with a sneak peek at what she’ll cover at the 2024 MoneyShow/TradersEXPO Orlando, set for Oct. 17-19 at the Omni Orlando Resort at ChampionsGate.
