On this week's Stansberry Investor Hour, Dan and Corey are joined by two of their Stansberry Research colleagues, Matt McCall and Brett Eversole. But first, Dan and Corey kick off the podcast by discussing three famous investors who all made headlines recently for giving negative future market outlooks. Brett and Matt join the conversation by talking about why they're bullish right now.

While one more small rate hike before the year's end is possible, Matt still thinks the rate cycle is nearly over. This would, in turn, be good for equities and move the markets higher.
