MoneyShow MoneyMasters Podcast

Jonathan Hoening is Portfolio Manager at Capitalistpig Hedge Fund. In this MoneyShow MoneyMasters Podcast episode, we discuss the current mega-shift underway in the stock market, how investors should respond, and why price is always…ALWAYS...primary. Diving right in, Jonathan explains why “paralysis by analysis” often afflicts investors. Overthinking fundamentals, earnings, insider buying/selling, or other factors can get in the way of just reacting to – and profiting from – action in the markets. He notes that the recent rotation out of big cap tech and into value stocks, small caps, and “anything but exotic” names is a prime example. He then highlights a trio of domestic stocks that look solid, as well as one international play. He also lays out a bullish case for an emerging markets ETF and a fund focused on precious metals.We further discuss what past trading action in gold circa 2001-2011...and the progression of inflation in the 1970s...can tell investors about today’s market and economic environment. Jonathan next weighs in on the 2024 presidential election and some surprising, counterintuitive things investors should keep in mind before reacting to a potential Trump or Harris victory in November. Critically, we also discuss practical advice for profiting today. That includes why you should focus on stocks trading near 52-week highs versus 52-week lows...how to properly size positions for maximum returns...what is so important about the concept of “trading units”...and why sometimes the smart move is to take after Jesse Livermore and just “Go fishing!”Finally, Jonathan shares a sneak peek at what he’ll cover at the 2024 MoneyShow/TradersEXPO Orlando, set for Oct. 17-19 at the Omni Orlando Resort at ChampionsGate.

Eric Balchunas is Senior ETF Analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence. In this MoneyShow MoneyMasters Podcast episode, we discuss the state of the ETF industry in 2024 – including all the new and exciting products that investors can choose from (as well as whether they SHOULD!) He begins by discussing how roughly 70% of flows still go into traditional, passive ETFs that track the S&P 500 on the cheap...but that the remainder of the flows are going into two categories of funds: “Boomer Candy” and “Hot Sauce” ETFs. The former term refers to ETFs that use things like covered calls and buffer strategies to let investors participate in market upside, while still getting some downside protection. The latter term references ETFs that “get their blood flowing,” including a wide range of thematic, leveraged, single-stock, and crypto ETFs.We then discuss how active ETF sponsors are adapting to dominance by big boys like BlackRock and Fidelity...and why news of “higher” average ETF fees isn’t really as problematic as it might seem at first. We also delve into the market’s recent rotational action – and whether this is FINALLY the time for ETFs that focus on small caps, international stocks, and other unloved groups to shine. Eric’s take? If this one thing happens, “The 4-9-3” can play catch up. The conversation then pivots to the prior roll out of Bitcoin ETFs and the current unveiling of Ether ETFs, plus why gold ETFs aren’t attracting as much attention as you might think with precious metals at new highs.Finally, Eric shares a sneak peek at what he’ll cover at the 2024 MoneyShow/TradersEXPO Orlando, set for Oct. 17-19 at the Omni Orlando Resort at ChampionsGate.

Peter Boockvar is Chief Investment Officer at Bleakley Financial Group, as well as editor of The Boock Report markets newsletter. In this MoneyShow MoneyMasters Podcast episode, we take a 360-degree tour of the markets, the economy, Federal Reserve policy, and the most (and least) promising strategies, sectors, and asset classes for 2024-2025.We start with a discussion of the “two different economies, two different stock markets” problem – why that’s the case, who’s winning, who’s losing, and how and when this “glaring gap of historic proportions” could get closed. Peter then shifts to a discussion of the Artificial Intelligence/AI boom, the surge in tech investment, and why a “Show me the money” moment might be coming soon. We pivot next to a discussion of the post-Covid changes in the economy, from increased government spending to higher-for-longer interest rates, and how a normalization of the latter “takes a lot of time and takes a lot of pain.” He highlights one particularly vulnerable sector and one particularly vulnerable group of businesses – as well as the “canary” he’s seeing that might point to increased market stress in he months ahead.Peter then outlines his expectations for Fed policy, the important shift Chairman Jay Powell just signaled, and why investors should be “careful what they wish for” when it comes to rate cuts. After touching on the impact of global and US elections on markets, he lays out a bullish case for commodities and foreign markets (particularly in Asia)…and warns investors against “just chasing the things that have worked because they’ve worked.” Finally, Peter shares a sneak peek at what he’ll cover at the 2024 MoneyShow Toronto, set for Sept. 13-14 at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre North.

John Divine is Assistant Managing Editor of Investing at U.S. News & World Report, while his colleague Patrick Duffy is Senior Real Estate Economist there. In this MoneyShow MoneyMasters Podcast episode, the three of us discuss the current and future states of the residential and commercial real estate markets – and how investors can navigate shifting industry conditions.John and Patrick begin by discussing their backgrounds, which include a combined three-plus decades analyzing, researching, consulting for, and writing about the industry. Patrick then shares his take on the housing market, including its two main challenges – and the emerging one that’s bedeviling more home buyers (and owners) in more states with each passing day. John next discusses the “Golden Handcuff” problem, how creative financing structures like “subject-to financing” can help in some cases, and what it all means for publicly traded home builders. In his words: “You can build all the homes you want. But if people can’t afford them…it’s not a great environment.”Next up is a chat about commercial real estate. Patrick weighs in on multifamily oversupply in the South and the re-emergence of rent control efforts in higher-priced regions...reasons why retail real estate is rebounding...how some office markets are stabilizing because the “extend and pretend” trend is winding down...and more. His overall take: “Like everything else, it’s very sector- and geography-specific.” John then shares his thoughts on real estate loan and CMBS losses, saying he does NOT expect “utter and total chaos” for one major reason. We start wrapping up with a discussion of REITs as an investment – including why they’ve struggled for the past 12-18 months and the one development John thinks could really get the sector going again. Patrick also opines on why certain REIT subsectors are doing better (and worse) than others.Finally, John and Patrick conclude with a quick chat about what they will cover at the MoneyShow Masters Symposium Las Vegas, set for Aug. 1-3, 2024 at the Paris Las Vegas.

Luke Lloyd is a Wealth Advisor and Investment Strategist at Strategic Wealth Partners. In this MoneyShow MoneyMasters Podcastepisode, Luke starts by talking about “one of the biggest contributing factors keeping this whole economy afloat” – the debt cycle. He says the government is racking up $1 TRILLION in new debt every 100 days...consumers are increasingly using “Buy Now, Pay Later” plans to fuel spending...and corporations are refinancing old debt with new debt carrying higher interest rates. Luke then talks about the Federal Reserve’s role in all this debt creation, while sharing a key reason why higher rates haven’t really bitten when it comes to the economy or the stock market. He also highlights the one thing that could mean “the banks stop giving you money and credit card companies stop giving you money,” upsetting the borrow-and-spend dynamic.Next, we shift to politics and markets – including what shallow (and deep) corrections mean for an incumbent president’s election chances, as well as what Trump or Biden victories would mean for investors in terms of stock and sector selection. Luke and I then chat about a wide range of topics, including his favorite AI plays, stocks that will benefit from the “addiction to lifestyle” trend, which sub-sector in the energy space looks most attractive, and why and how investing in gold can pay off. We conclude with a quick chat about what Luke will cover at the MoneyShow Masters Symposium Las Vegas, set for Aug. 1-3, 2024 at the Paris Las Vegas.

Michael Lee is a 20-plus-year veteran of the financial services industry and Founder of Michael Lee Strategy. In this MoneyShow MoneyMasters Podcast episode, we cover the outlook for stocks, gold, and cryptocurrencies – plus the “Arms Race” that is minting profits for properly positioned investors. Mike starts by noting the frequency of data revisions and other quirks with the economy lately. But he adds that “we’re not going into a recession anytime soon” and that while inflation may prove “sticky,” it isn’t reaccelerating in a “violent” way. In fact, Michael sees a trifecta of reasons why this should be a “pretty spectacular period for stocks.”When it comes to profiting, he’s zeroing in on the Artificial Intelligence (AI) boom, calling this “the greatest technology upgrade cycle in the history of the world.” He believes one sector stock is STILL 25% undervalued...thinks the Magnificent Seven stocks will keep working (though TWO names could lag)...and recommends targeting one key sector ETF (while avoiding another). We next talk about commodities, including the surprising reason oil could drop into the $40s...while gold should hit $5,000 an ounce down the road. As for Bitcoin? Buckle up! Mike sees it reaching $200,000 in the next 18 months for a few important reasons. We conclude with Mike providing a sneak peek at what he’ll talk about at the MoneyShow Masters Symposium Las Vegas, set for Aug. 1-3, 2024 at the Paris Las Vegas.
