After Bitcoin plunged 54% from its all-time-high in April, many crypto speculators are feeling quite shaken... But Dan points out that it's what didn't happen after the crypto crash that’s worth noting... No banks went under... the Fed didn't need to bail anyone out... We didn't see a big systemic collapse...

Then on this week's interview, Dan invites Hugh Henry onto the show. Hugh is an award-winning hedge fund manager, market commentator, real estate investor, and podcaster.

In the final stages of the bull market, thoughtful investing is typically replaced with reckless speculation...   And today, we're seeing warning signs in nearly every corner of the market...  Investors everywhere are throwing caution to the wind in hopes of finding the hottest tech stock, SPAC offering, or cryptocurrency that'll help them get rich quick... So that's why this week, Dan is bringing the listeners back down to Earth by focusing on a corner of the market that fuels nearly every other industry, but has recently been forgotten by most of the financial media... On this week's episode, Dan invites Rick Rule of Sprott Inc. onto the show to talk about natural resource investing. 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, Rick talks about how stepping down from his position as managing director and president at Sprott has allowed him to focus more time and energy on researching potential investments in the resource space. Rick and Dan discuss where he sees opportunity in the resource market today, including a handful of stocks from the other side of the globe that he believes are currently trading at steep discounts. If you're okay with some riskier, higher upside plays, Rick shares the names of a few stocks which he says are "the cheapest resource stocks on the planet..."

Listen to Dan's full response on this week's episode.

In March, Tesla sold off about 10% of their Bitcoin... Elon Musk said the reason they sold was to, "prove the liquidity of Bitcoin as an alternative to holding cash on the balance sheet..." On the opening rant this week, Dan examines all the facts behind the surprising move... And explains why he's not buying Musk's explanation... Then on this week's interview, Dan invites Thomas Ricketts onto the show. Thomas is President and CIO of Evolutionary Tree Capital Management, a firm exclusively focused on innovation investing. Evolutionary Tree uses their unique investment process to differentiate between hype and real innovation that yields future growth. Their approach has led Evolutionary Tree to find stocks like HubSpot, ServiceNow and Pinterest before they were well known. During their conversation, Dan asks Thomas what the main difference between innovation investing and speculating really is.

Dan opens this week's rant completely beside himself, as he shares the latest story of jaw-dropping excess in the market. But this isn't the story of your typical cryptocurrency pump and dump... Or a message board banding together to try to create the next "meme stock..." It comes from a business you'd never expect in a million years... and Dan calls it the single most insane example of speculative froth he's EVER seen in the markets. Then on this week's interview, Dan invites Ken McAtamney onto the show. Ken is the head of the global equity team and a portfolio manager for William Blair's International Growth, Global Leaders, and International Leaders strategies. Before joining William Blair in 2005, Ken was a vice president at Goldman Sachs, where he was responsible for institutional equity research coverage for both international and domestic equities.

Dan gives a thoughtful reply to this question and more on this week's episode.

Across the entire U.S. stock market, going all the way back to 1926, a small fraction of stocks are responsible for the lion's share of the market's gains. Dan examines this phenomenon with a deep dive into the Bessembinder Study and comes away with a few key takeaways for individual investors trying to beat the market.  Then on this week's interview, Dan invites Kevin Landis onto the show.  Kevin was born and raised in Silicon Valley and has over 30 years of experience in market research, product management and investment in the technology sector. And today, Kevin is the Chief Investment Officer at Firsthand Capital Management, an investment advisory firm he founded in 1994.
