In 2021, many hedge funds on Wall Street took a beating... And strangely, thousands of retail investors made out like bandits... Was it an anomaly? Or is it part of a new paradigm shift in the world of finance? Dan looks to answer some of these questions by sitting down with the one man who knows more about the rise of retail investors than just about anyone... He was one of the most anticipated guest speakers during this week's Stansberry Conference in Las Vegas... And he's even had a film crew follow for the past year, creating a documentary on his life... He's the original founder of the infamous subreddit – WallStreetBets – the one and only Jaime Rogozinski. Jaime originally founded WallStreetBets on Reddit in 2012... And by 2019, WallStreetBets amassed over 1 million subscribers and had over 3 million monthly unique users. Earlier this year, the group caused quite a stir when they bid stocks like GameStop, AMC, and other so-called "meme stocks" up hundreds of percent. During their conversation, Jaime recalls some hilarious stories about WallStreetBets members who have made and lost massive fortunes in the stock market. He even shares the story of some members who invested in the wrong stock... and accidentally made a ton of money. Risky? Yes... Dangerous? Perhaps... But Jaime contends that the many people on WallStreetBets are learning to trade the best way possible – with a smile on their face and some real skin  in the game. If you've ever been tempted to trade meme stocks, or just want to hear more about some of this crazy world, this is a conversation you must listen to...

When Bitcoin is soaring to all-time highs...  And the stock market is more expensive than it's ever been... It's incredibly easy to get caught up in the mania... After all, everywhere you look, people are getting rich in stocks and crypto, and it's natural to want to get in on the action. But it's important to go about it the right way...  So, Dan invites Daniel Fields of Polen Capital, onto the show this week to talk about the world of high-growth stocks. Daniel is responsible for the day-to-day portfolio management and investment analysis for the international growth fund at Polen Capital. Before joining Polen Capital, he spent 8 years in Hong Kong, where he worked for GaveKal Capital and Marshall Wace, LLC as a research analyst evaluating Asian growth companies. Daniel uses his experience from his years abroad to identify fantastic businesses with high growth potential, that the average investor has never heard of... But perhaps even more importantly, he gives the listeners his insight into what to avoid when investing in high-growth stocks. He even shares the names of a handful of interesting companies from all over the world that he's very bullish on in the coming years.  Daniel brings plenty of expertise to the table and gives a ton of great practical advice for anyone thinking about allocating more growth stocks to their portfolio... 

When you ask folks about what worries them the most, one of the most common responses researchers heard was "the future." But today's guest doesn't look at it that way. When Matt McCall thinks of the future, he sees dozens of trends that will greatly improve all our lives... and a world of incredible investment opportunities.  And when Matt talks about investment opportunities, it pays to listen. After all, he's recommended an incredible 40 different 1,000% winners in his stock-picking career. So, this week, Dan decided to invite Matt back onto the show for a couple of reasons. The first is to get Matt's insight into some of these megatrends that will shape the way we live... trends like the future of transportation, blockchain technology, cryptocurrency, and much more. And the second is to welcome him as the newest editor to join the Stansberry Research family.  The two have an enlightening conversation that'll leave you much more optimistic about where we're headed.  Matt even shares the names of two stocks that recently became public, flying completely under the radar today, that he believes could be his next 10X winner...  It's one you DO NOT want to miss!

Inflation fears are rising... And for many folks nearing retirement, it's happening at the worst possible time. That's why it's absolutely critical to hold a portion of your wealth in solid long-term investments, so your nest egg lasts as long as you do... But what's the best way to do it safely and with as little risk as possible? Dan looks to answer this question by sitting down with the portfolio manager of the Needham Aggressive Growth fund – Mr. John Barr. Prior to his career on Wall Street, John worked for 14 years in the electronic design and automation industry, giving him unique insights into the world's high-growth technology companies that many of his colleagues on Wall Street lack.  Today, he works as a co-portfolio manager of Needham Growth fund and portfolio manager of the Needham Aggressive Growth fund. During their conversation, John explains his philosophy of finding stocks that deliver compounding returns. He looks for what he calls "hidden compounders" before they become "quality compounders." He even shares the name of one company in his portfolio that he bought at $7... which today is priced around $140... approximately a 20X winner... Then he tells Dan about another stock he absolutely loves... But this one is still in the "hidden compounder" stage... The company trades for around $10 today, and John thinks that long term, it could join the ranks of some of his biggest winners. If you're looking to invest in high upside growth stocks, but want to know how to go about it the right way, this is a conversation you don't want to miss...

When you see endless stories of greed and speculation in the market... And you feel in your heart something is wrong... But stocks continue to rise higher and higher...  What's an investor to do? This week Dan sits down with Tradesmith CEO, Keith Kaplan, to help answer this difficult conundrum... Before Keith came to Tradesmith, he worked as a software architect for many years... But despite a great profession, a steady income, and a good head on his shoulders, he struggled with his investments... During his quest to improve, he was stunned and frustrated with the general lack of available tools and financial literacy most investors have...  Now, he's using his 25 years of experience as a veteran software architect to change that, by providing sophisticated but easy-to-use tools for the everyday retail investor. During their conversation, Keith talks about some of the mistakes he made early in his investing career, and how his new software aims to eliminate those emotional errors.  He even shows Dan how Tradesmith's software can reduce the risk in your portfolio by simple allocation... But whether you use Tradesmith – or another system for your "buy" and "sell" signals – Keith and Dan both agree the most important thing is to have a plan and stick to it.  If you're concerned about the possibility of an oncoming bear market, but are still holding stocks, this is a conversation you do not want to miss...  

On this week's episode of the Stansberry Investor Hour, Dan invites an incredibly special guest onto the show... He's a man who's launched over 1,000 new products, acquired dozens of businesses, and employed thousands of people... In a way, he's largely responsible for helping Dan get to where he is today...  His biggest claim to fame is founding Agora Financial, now the largest independent research network on the planet...  The one and only Bill Bonner.  For those of you that don't know, Bill was the one who interviewed Dan, way back in November of 1997, when he first set out to become a financial analyst...  The two kick off the conversation like old friends, recounting tales from the old days, and catching up on what's new in life... But the conversation turns gravely serious when Dan gets Bill's take on some major developments happening in the world right now... The two discuss the fast-developing Evergrande debt crisis, the rising inflation we're seeing just about everywhere, and where we might see societal upheaval flare up next... Bill explains what this all means for investors, and gives the listeners some key advice on how to protect yourself from that worst-case scenario...  If you're concerned about what's going on in America today, it's a conversation you do not want to miss... You can listen to Dan's full conversation with Bill and much more in this week's episode.

On this week's episode of the Stansberry Investor Hour, we're inviting a different type of guest onto the show. He's a man with tons of experience as an investor... After all, he worked as a portfolio manager for Harding Loevner for many years... But what really sets him apart, is that he is the owner of a professional soccer team in England... This week, Dan invites owner of the Plymouth Argyle, Simon Hallett, onto the show... Simon's not your typical guest, so Dan takes this opportunity to ask Simon all the questions from a successful businessman and sports owner. The two have a lighthearted conversation about what it's like watching your favorite sports team as a child, then growing up to become the owner... Then they pivot to some of the best investing lessons Simon has learned over his many years as a portfolio manager... And Dan picks up on a ton of good advice from Simon that applies to every investor. It's a conversation full of great business and investing insights... from a man with decades of experience to show for it. You can listen to Dan's full conversation with Simon and much more on this week's episode.  

El Salvador has officially made Bitcoin legal tender. Some in traditional finance are calling it an experiment doomed to fail... While others are calling it one of the biggest stories in the history of cryptocurrencies... One thing is for sure... This decision will likely have far-reaching effects around the world for years... Will other countries soon follow suit? Could this be the big adoption catalyst that sends Bitcoin soaring up towards $100K? Or will this experiment end disastrously and serve as a warning for other small nations thinking of doing the same thing? To help us make sense of this incredible new development, Dan invited crypto expert, Cam Harvey, onto the show... Cam is the professor of Finance at the Fuqua School of Business at Duke University. And he's also served as editor of the Journal of Finance from 2006-2012... as well as the President of the American Finance Association in 2016. When it comes to cryptocurrencies, Cam is way ahead of the curve... When Bitcoin was trading between $200 - $400 per coin, Cam was giving lectures to his students about Bitcoin during his finance classes... During their conversation, Cam and Dan discuss at length what El Salvador's recent move could mean for the US Dollar, traditional financial institutions, and other nations that might be thinking of doing the same thing... If you've thought about investing in cryptos and don't know where to get started, Cam says we're less than 1% into this disruption, so now is the perfect time... In fact, Cam walks listeners through the first 2 steps you need to take to get started in the crypto space the right way... He says every listener should consider entering the crypto space... because in his words, "You can either join this revolution, or get swept away by it..." Listen to Dan's conversation with Cam and more on this week's episode.

As an investor, it's extremely important to realize how much government policy decisions can impact your portfolio. So, on the Investor Hour this week, we decided to take a 'step back' and have a conversation with one of the top minds in macroeconomics. He's a repeat guest of the show...  And given the enormous increase in government budgets... and all the turmoil happening around the world today, Dan couldn't wait to have him back to discuss how some of the big macrotrends happening today could impact the market going forward. Marko Papic joins us as this week's guest. Marko works as partner and chief strategist at Clocktower Group, an alternative asset management firm where he leads the firm's strategy team providing bespoke research to clients and partners on geopolitics, macroeconomics, and markets. And he's also the author of the popular book, Geopolitical Alpha: An Investment Framework for Predicting the Future. Dan and Marko discuss the situation in Afghanistan, what the future holds for Chinese tech stocks, plus a shocking prediction on where some of the most commonly held blue chip stocks could be headed this decade... Marko even shares two "30-Day trades" he thinks could be highly profitable if you act quickly. Listen to Dan's conversation with Marko and more on this week's episode.

Here at the Stansberry Investor Hour, we specialize in bringing you investment stories you likely won't hear anywhere else... And today, Dan invites an old friend, Rahul Saraogi, onto the show to take a look at a market that is extremely undervalued and often neglected by Wall Street. It's a market where manufacturing is taking off... Infrastructure spending is expanding rapidly... And consumption is increasing at an incredible rate, fueled by over 1.4 billion people... And despite practically zero attention from many mainstream financial sources, this market has some striking similarities to where China was 20-25 years ago... That's why Rahul says if you consider yourself a value investor, this could be the world's biggest untapped opportunity...  Listen to Dan's conversation with Rahul and more on this week's episode.
