Stansberry Investor Hour

With inflation creeping higher and higher these days, now is the perfect time for this week's guest to make his Stansberry Investor Hour debut. Patrick Yip is a precious metals expert. He's the director of business development at APMEX, one of the largest online precious metals retailers in the U.S., as well as the manager of OneGold, APMEX's innovative investment platform for vaulted positions in gold, silver, and platinum. And he says that in a market fraught with uncertainty like we're seeing today, it's especially important for conservative and speculative investors alike to consider adding precious metals to their portfolios... If history repeats itself, inflation at its current rate could erode half of your wealth in nine years. No one knows what the future is going to give us. But if history repeats, precious metals are going to protect your wealth and maybe even increase your wealth. Gold, he says, is perfect for those seeking extra portfolio protection during periods of high inflation. If metals rally like they did during the inflationary cycles of the 1960s and '70s, investors could see gold hit $5,000 in the next few years. That's more than 150% higher than today's prices. And silver – what Dan teasingly calls the "meme stock of the metals world" – offers equal opportunity for investors willing to stomach a little more volatility. Right now, silver premiums are sky-high. But as Patrick discusses, it all boils down to simple supply-and-demand economics... He walks listeners through each step of coin making's complicated process from mine to mint and pinpoints the exact spot in the supply chain that's "stressed the most" right now. And he unveils how his OneGold system offers a unique way to directly own silver while bypassing the high prices. Finally, Patrick touches on what Dan calls "the elephant in the room" – another popular (though, very different) asset – and how it holds up to gold and silver in one's portfolio.

In this week's episode, Dan Ferris is joined by the chief investment officer of Logica Capital Advisers, Wayne Himelsein. Wayne founded the investment advisory firm in 2011. Throughout his 25-year career, he has developed and refined his quantitative-trading methods, risk, and portfolio-management processes. A self-proclaimed "quant trader," Wayne uses advanced mathematics to help identify moneymaking opportunities in both good times and bad. So in today's unforgiving market environment, he's a valuable guide for novice and veteran investors alike. When asked to define himself as an investor, Wayne emphasizes how investing should be thought of as "trading your personality." You should invest in a way that aligns with how you see and understand the world... What's funny to me is that people get really... rigorous about their view. If somebody, for example, is not very mathematical and they deeply believe in the fundamentals – understanding the company and talking to management and the whole other side of the world of investing – then I've seen, in that framework, them looking down on the quantitative side... like the two worlds have to be bifurcated... Everybody's entitled to be who they are and trade that way. You're going to do better being yourself... Why do you have to speak or look badly at the way other people choose to express their personality in the markets? Dan and Wayne dig deep into "familiar market signals," including how to best utilize them for your investing style. They also discuss the importance and influence of market bubbles, the pressures of news headlines on investing, and the need to explore and remain curious as a modern-day investor.

Metals and mining stocks are a hot topic right now. Global commodity prices continue to surge as the Russia-Ukraine conflict rages on... The U.S. is looking to ramp up domestic production of the minerals needed to produce electric-vehicle batteries... Even the "meme stock" crowd is jumping on board, recently pushing a previously unnoticed small metals miner up nearly 800%. According to Dan, "There's something broken about the market." So this week on Stansberry Investor Hour, he invites seasoned geologist Brent Cook to break down the real opportunities in this highly complex industry. Over his storied career, Brent has worked in more than 60 countries consulting on proposed mine sites. His knowledge spans all areas of the mining business, from the conception stage to detailed technical and financial modeling for mine development and production. In 2008, he founded the popular Exploration Insights newsletter and helped develop what is now one of the most invaluable tools in the industry, the Drill Hole Interval Calculator. In other words, when Brent talks about mining and geology... we listen. On this week's episode, Brent offers four key tips for uncovering the greatest mining and exploration stocks and reveals how he personally avoids "red flag" companies. As he wryly puts it... You can screen out a bunch. You can pick up [on] the bullsh*t. If you want to wash your hands after you've shaken, that's a bad sign. Mining, metals, and exploration companies can be extremely volatile and speculative. But they can also be rewarding for patient, long-term investors. So whether you've already tucked a junior miner away into your portfolio, you're eyeing a few metals companies, or you're just looking to get started, be sure to check out this week's episode.

For this week's episode of Stansberry Investor Hour, Dan Ferris welcomes back powerhouse guest Marc Chaikin, the founder, and CEO of Chaikin Analytics. Marc is a 40-year Wall Street veteran who, more than a decade ago, developed a revolutionary investing tool called the Chaikin Power Gauge. It's an objective, quantitative system that simplifies the stock-picking process and levels the playing field between institutional and individual investors. This week, Marc also shares some interesting tidbits about the Power Gauge's history, including when he showed the Nasdaq how his tool could "turbocharge" its three core indexes to yield double-digit outperformance. And at Dan's request, Marc gives his outlook on investing in technology stocks, along with a tip on the one quantitative measure that he uses to pick out the "cash-flow cows" from all the beaten-down tech stocks that litter the market.

In this week's interview, Kevin Duffy – who has been in the game for more than 40 years, from buying his first stock at age 13 to shorting heavyweights in the housing and credit bubbles –shares his unique perspective on today's investing atmosphere. He and Dan discuss everything from the stocks, commodities, and inflation concerns that are shaping today's financial environment to the cultural shifts caused by pandemic-accelerated digital revolution and Disney's employee walkout.

This week, Dan Ferris speaks with Herb Greenberg. A renowned investigative financial journalist and now the senior editor for Empire Financial Research, Herb has had a storied, 40-plus-year career in the financial markets. Herb discusses plans to launch a brand-new, long-only research service. He shares his process for empowering and educating the everyday investor, as well as what goes into researching the best companies for his readers. And in his answer to Dan's traditional Final Question, he describes one of the biggest changes he has made in his own life – a change that he urges all listeners to make as well: eliminate toxicity...

In this week's episode of Stansberry Investor Hour, Dan dives right into discussing the biggest current crisis that has upended the global markets: the Russia-Ukraine war. And Dan's guest today is none other than Stansberry Research's international editor, Kim Iskyan. There's no one better suited for the topic at hand than him. The two chat about everything from how Venezuela and Iran could benefit from Russia's isolation... to how China might even have "the chance to become the geopolitical soft power it wants to be"... and to how it all might play out for "the ultimate dictator," Russian President Vladimir Putin. Kim also shares two unique and pertinent investment ideas for these turbulent times

This week on Stansberry Investor Hour, Dan brings back Cullen Roche, one of his "favorite people to talk to," for a third interview. As the Fed readies to "tap the brakes" on its quantitative-easing programs, an unimaginably wide range of potential outcomes exists for the markets. However, one thing is certain: Years of volatility loom ahead. So for investors looking to build their own "all-weather" portfolios, Cullen shares some portfolio-designing tips – many of which are near and dear to Dan's heart.

In this week's episode of Stansberry Investor Hour, Dan speaks with Rob Arnott. When Rob talks, we listen. And right now, he's saying that the market cycle is turning from one predominated by growth to one predominated by value. That presents an exceptional opportunity for the patient contrarian value investor. Rob discusses his two "core investment principles" and his forecast for out-of-control inflation (including a few "inflation fighter" places to consider putting your money today). He also covers a proprietary definition of the term "bubble," what's going on with electric vehicles, the "best way to read the news," and much more.

Today, Dan talks with Peter Boockvar, the chief investment officer of $8 billion wealth-management firm Bleakley Financial Group. As a top-down investor, Peter focuses on "bombed-out, value-type situations" that can be distilled into overarching investing themes. One of the big themes Peter sees right now is a global, unstoppable force of people wanting to break out of their pandemic bubbles and travel. That doesn't mean he's long airlines. In fact, he cautions against such proven, cyclical money pits... instead preferring alternative plays on the travel industry, like hotels, casinos, or online travel agencies.
