We've got former portfolio manager and current editor of Ten Stock Trader, Greg Diamond, on the podcast this week. Greg has almost two decades of experience managing multimillion-dollar portfolios across every asset class. He uses his expert technical analysis to decipher the behaviors and patterns of the market. Greg offers insights on the future of the S&P 500, the Dow, and the Nasdaq heading into 2022. Importantly, Greg warns that a huge wave of volatility is coming in the next few months. He's holding a special webinar next week on January 13 about this approaching market shake-up. You can find out more at messagefromgreg.com.   Greg and Dan also discuss how to apply technical analysis to rising interest rates and how we can leverage historic market data to best understand the future of inflation. They walk through the importance of risk management and how to incorporate those principles into your daily investing approach for a sounder strategy. After the interview, stay tuned for Dan's musings on the crypto market, specifically his reactions to people questioning if it has any real utility in the world.

As 2021 draws to a close, it's time to look back and reflect on an incredibly eventful year in the markets... But we're not just doing a simple year in review.  We've decided to revisit some of our favorite interviews of the year and compile the very best excerpts, just for you... Dan recaps some amazing lessons from thinkers like Chris Camillo (Episode #192), Eric Wade (Episode #216), George Gilder (Episode #218), Bill Bonner (Episode #225), and Jaime Rogozinski (Episode #230)... You'll hear some big ideas, unbelievable stories, and some truly deep insights from some of the smartest folks anywhere in the world... It's the one episode this year you DEFINITELY don't want to miss.  Listen to some of the most influential Investor Hour interviews of the year on this week’s episode.

This week, Dan invites one of the most respected healthcare analysts anywhere in the world onto the show... His work has been featured in The Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg, The Financial Times, Kiplinger, CBS, and USA Today – just to name a few. In fact, he was previously ranked by Fortune Magazine as the #1 Healthcare analyst in the U.S. And today, he's here to talk about one of the best value plays anywhere in the stock market. The one and only Tom Carroll. Tom knows the healthcare industry landscape as well as anyone. In fact, that's what led him to start his newsletter with Stansberry Research, Cannabis Capitalist. According to Tom, nationwide federal legalization of cannabis is inevitable. It's a matter of when and not if, which gives investors an incredible opportunity right now...   You can get into these stocks at a better value than you could one year ago... but today many of these companies have better revenues, earnings, and balance sheets than ever before... Tom says if you ignore this opportunity, you'll likely come to regret it... Plus, he even shares the name and ticker symbol of THREE of his favorite cannabis stocks that he's recommended to his readers... If you've considered entering the cannabis space, but weren't sure the best way to go about it, this is an episode you don't want to miss...

If you're worried about inflation, you're not alone... The Consumer Price Index for November just hit a 22-year high... and the Producer Price Index increased at its highest rate ever. Now many folks are looking to juice the returns in their portfolio to make up the difference... But when it comes to trading stocks, the truth is that majority of retail investors end up getting burned... But that doesn't mean it can't be done successfully... To show us how it's done, Dan invites the legendary trader Todd "Bubba" Horwitz onto the show... When it comes to trading, few men on Earth can match Bubba's resume. In 1980, he was one of the original market makers in the SPX Trading Pit at the Chicago Board of Options Exchange, where he remains a member today... When it comes to trading in insane markets like we have today, Bubba has seen it all. He's been at it for over 40 years and has developed a bit of a cult-like following... Bubba even does live trading with his followers. You can follow along as he trades his actual money, and mimic his trades, if you so choose. For more info, visit www.BubbaTrading.com... If you've ever been curious about how to trade stocks safely, this is a conversation you don't want to miss...

This week, Dan encourages listeners to learn to look where others aren't looking... And invest where others aren't investing...  Avoid things like gambling on-call options... and instead, look to buy real assets when you see them at attractive values. This week, Dan invites Garrett Goggin onto the show to discuss an industry he says is one of the best values anywhere in the market today. Garrett began his career on the New York Stock Exchange where he worked right on the floor executing trades.   He has worked alongside John Doody, as his right-hand man and analyst for Gold Stock Analyst and Silver Stock Analyst.  Over the past 5 years, Garrett's Silver Stock Analyst Fave 5 portfolio has had incredible results... up 401.3% for an average of 45.2% per year.  So when it comes to finding opportunities in silver, there's no one you'd rather have by your side than Garrett. Dan and Garrett talk about why silver is priced so low today, how government policies are affecting the industry, and what's the best way to play the upcoming silver bull market he's predicting. Garrett even gives the names of a few of his favorite silver stocks that he typically reserves for his paid subscribers... If you've ever thought about adding some precious metals to your portfolio, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.

If you've ever wondered how Dan finds recommendations for his Extreme Value newsletter, today is your lucky day...  Because this week, Dan is letting Investor Hour listeners peek behind the curtain to hear from one of his closest colleagues.  He's the senior analyst for Extreme Value, the one, and only Mike Barrett. Mike uses decades of cash flow modeling and valuation expertise to help identify some of the highest upside stocks anywhere in the market. In fact, Dan says that Mike is the real brains behind many of Stansberry Research's top recommendations... Like when Mike showed his readers how to make 20X their money in just 7 months on a small biotech company treating Alzheimer's disease... Or how to make up to 19X their money in just over a year and a half, with a small California firm of only 76 employees... Or the time he showed his followers how to make 9X their money in 6 months on a company fighting COVID-19...  The truth is, he's one of Stansberry Research's best-kept secrets... But that's not likely to last much longer... Because now Mike is stepping forward to reveal his new 5-Step approach that he's developed to identify many of these massive 10X winners. He's written a new special report with 10 different new stocks with 10X potential, that have NEVER been covered by anyone at Stansberry Research. You can learn more at  www.MikeMessage.com. If you're looking to add a boost to your portfolio, this is a conversation you don't want to miss. P.S.     If you're interested in hearing more about some of Mike's biggest winners, he's giving away all the details on it right here, and it's 100% free to attend.

When so many sectors are reaching new highs, where is the best place to put your money? This week, Dan brings in entrepreneur Michael Covel, to help answer that tough question. Mike is the author of five books, including an international bestseller, Trend Following: Learn to Make Millions in Up or Down Markets, and The Complete Turtle Trader... He also created www.TrendFollowing.com where his consistent market-beating strategy has begun to spread, as he now services clients in 70 different countries. Mike is very active on Twitter, publishes his blog, and records his podcast weekly. And today, Mike stopped by so Dan could get his thoughts on some popular trends in the market. Tech stocks, value stocks, cryptos... Dan gets Mike's thoughts on where these trends are moving in the short term. But perhaps, even more importantly, the two discuss how to be cautious when so many sectors are making new highs... And how to make a specific plan to preserve your wealth in the event of a downturn.  As Mike says, you should ask yourself, "Are you okay with losing up to 50% of your net worth?"

In a market like we see today, investors tend to throw caution to the wind... Whether it's the next SPAC offering, cryptocurrency, or even an obscure ape-themed piece of digital art, it seems like you can find a buyer for just about any asset nowadays... But, as Dan often points out, chasing these short term gains has tons of risk. For most folks, you're likely much better off holding real hard assets as a part of a diversified investment portfolio. So that's why this week, Dan invites Rick Rule back onto the show to talk about investing in real hard assets and the booming resource markets. Rick began his career in the securities business in 1974 and has been principally involved with natural resource securities ever since. Over his long career, Rick has originated and participated in hundreds of debt and equity transactions with private, pre-public, and public companies. Today, Rick is widely regarded as one of the most accomplished natural resource investors on the planet. During their conversation, Dan and Rick dive deep into the weeds on the rising inflation numbers and what that means for commodity prices going forward... Rick even shares the names of a few fascinating ways to play uranium and silver markets, that you likely have never heard of before. It's an episode with a ton of valuable ideas that you won't want to miss. Rick shares some of the biggest lessons he's learned and unlearned from his nearly 50 years of investing experience.

With so many Bitcoin holders enjoying huge profits, many are wondering if it's time to take some money off the table?  Or hold tight before the final stage of this bull market?  To settle this debate, Dan invites long-time friend and repeat guest, Eric Wade, back onto the show to take all things Bitcoin and cryptocurrency.  Eric is an early internet entrepreneur, angel investor, screenwriter, and editor of Crypto Capital. In a few short years, he's recommended dozens of 100%+ winners and even ten 1,000%+ winners. He knows more about the crypto space than just about anyone on the planet. During their conversation, Dan and Eric discuss the big gold vs Bitcoin debate, where Eric sees Bitcoin's price in the years ahead, and even when's the right time to sell your stack. Plus, Eric shared some details on a new project he's working on, which he plans to reveal on November 17th... He'll be talking about the top 6 cryptos his research shows has the highest upside at this stage of the crypto cycle...  You can get it 100% free of charge just for listening to his event. You can find more details at www.BitcoinBoomEvent.com. Whether you've held Bitcoin for years, or if you're curious about the opportunity of getting in today, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.

We decided to do something special for podcast listeners this week... Instead of a standard one-on-one interview like we typically have on the Investor Hour, we're letting you listen in on an extremely exclusive conversation with some of the world's most brilliant economic and political commenters. This is your invitation to listen in to the American Economic Panel Discussion at the Annual Stansberry Conference in Las Vegas.  Typically, it costs several thousand dollars to attend this event in-person. But today, you're getting a slice of the experience 100% free of charge. The panel is hosted by Buck Sexton, along with some of the most influential and outspoken guests, such as Dr. Ron Paul, Trish Regan, John Tamny, Grant Williams, and our very own Dan Ferris...  The panel does a deep dive into many of the most pressing questions on many American's minds, like... How bad do you see inflation getting? What kind of political costs could the Biden Administration pay from rising inflation? What are the implications of the Federal Reserve creating some other version of a Central Bank Digital Currency? And if you could speak to the current administration and give them some policy advice, what would it be?  And they don't sugarcoat things. The panel gives you the straight facts about the real problems facing our government and the Federal Reserve... While at the same time, giving listeners tons of practical advice to help ensure you're prepared for whatever's next.  If you're worried about the direction our country is headed, this is a conversation you CANNOT afford to miss...  Also,  if you're interested in hearing more about the Stansberry Conference, including over 60 of the highest conviction investment ideas from our editors, you still have the chance to watch the whole thing at 2021livestream.com...
