Stansberry Investor Hour

On today's rant, Dan gives an update on some of the biggest investing stories still flying under the radar – the rise of Bitcoin, and the growing herd of zombie companies in the United States. Dan shares some facts from the Bank of International Settlements that'll make your skin crawl. Then on this week's interview, Dan sits down with Jim Masturzo, who leads Research Affiliates Asset Allocation Research & Trading Team. Jim oversees both the quantitative modeling used to manage the firm's portfolios and the firms daily trading efforts. Research Affiliates is an amazing website with free resources that can help any investor. During their conversation Jim discuss the firm's philosophy on investing allocation and risk, as well as new products designed to help investors meet their financial goals. And finally, on this week's mailbag, things get a little heated. Dan shares a couple emails from listeners giving their two cents on election fraud. One even challenges Dan and says his financial advice is in "dreamland." You won't want to miss Dan's response. Listen to Dan's full rebuttal and more on this week's episode.  

With votes still being tallied in several states days after Election Day, this race has been closer than many in the mainstream media expected. Our mailbag has been exploding with hundreds of questions from listeners about the impacts of each side winning could have on the markets. It's an extremely complex issue that could have big implications for you and your money. So Dan decided to bring in geopolitical expert, Marko Papic, onto the show for this week's interview to help him answer some questions. Marko works as partner and chief strategist at Clocktower Group, an alternative investment asset management firm where he leads the firm's strategy team providing bespoke research to clients and partners on geopolitics, macroeconomics, and markets. Marko is also author of the book, Geopolitical Alpha: An Investment Framework for Predicting the Future. Dan and Marko talk about the implications of a Trump victory versus a Biden victory, the likelihood of the Senate switching, as well as some industries that could explode whether Trump or Biden is elected. But Marko has a warning for the bulls. He says that his research shows there's about a 30% chance there could be a big 'hiccup' that currently isn't being priced into the market...

Value stocks have struggled compared to growth stocks over the last decade... Which is causing some investors to wonder, why bother with value stocks at all? So this week, Dan decided to bring Tobias Carlisle onto the show, to shine a light on this underreported area of the market. Tobias is the founder and managing director of Acquirer's Funds LLC. He also serves as portfolio manager of the firm's DEEP value strategy fund. Tobias has a long track record of success investing in value stocks and has written several books including, Deep Value, The Acquirer's Multiple, Concentrated Investing, and more. Tobias shares his investing philosophy while looking for value stocks, including where he looks to find his biggest winners. The pair make an incredibly compelling case for why many of the world's best value stocks could see a strong resurgence in the coming years, massively outperforming many of the world's most popular growth stocks.

As it stands today, cannabis is still illegal on a federal level. But that could be changing soon... This week, Dan has a conversation with one of the most respected healthcare analysts on Wall Street, Tom Carroll. Tom was previously ranked by Fortune Magazine as the #1 U.S. Healthcare analyst. 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, when it comes to federal legalization nationwide, we're looking at months, not years. And if you position yourself in the proper stocks correctly before legalization becomes a reality, you could stand to make enormous gains.   Tom even shares the name and ticker symbol of one of his favorite cannabis stocks he's recommending to his readers today

On this week's show, Dan brings repeat guest Kevin Muir onto the show to talk about some big macroeconomic ideas. Kevin is a former institutional equity derivatives trader with decades of experience who now writes about a wide range of financial topics in his newsletter The MacroTourist. Kevin has a way of explaining difficult macroeconomic ideas in ways that are much easier to grasp. The pair discuss a number of topics including market moves around the upcoming election, the long-term effects of the massive spending during the pandemic, and the validity of Modern Monetary Theory. Kevin even shares some predictions about some of the big five tech stocks that you won't want to miss. Plus, we have a mailbag for the ages this week. One listener writes in questions Dan's objectivity in pointing out issues on both sides. Has Dan been influenced by the Northwest liberal bubble? And another listener asks Dan to make the argument against two of his favorite investments... gold and bitcoin.

Common sense isn't as plentiful as it once was... On this week's show, Dan brings a leading expert in the field of evolutionary behavioral sciences in to investigate why. Dr. Gad Saad is a professor of marketing at Concordia University in Montreal, Canada and has famously pioneered the use of evolutionary psychology in marketing and consumer behavior. Gad isn't your stereotypical academic though... In fact, he shares some viewpoints that fly in the face of the overwhelming majority of his peers in academia. Dan and Gad weigh in on a number of controversial topics in this week's episode that are sure to rile up some listeners like left vs right politics, the state of higher education, and the concept of truth itself. Gad expands upon these ideas and more in his newest book The Parasitic Mind: How Infectious Ideas are Killing Common Sense. 

On this week's episode, Dan brings Enrique Abeyta, editor at Empire Financial Research, onto the show to discuss the hottest new trend sweeping across the financial world. Special Purpose Acquisition Companies... better known as SPACs. What are SPACs? How are they different than a regular IPO? And why have they taken off in popularity recently? Is this just the next mania? Dan fires these questions and more at Enrique, and he explains how, with the right guidance, SPACs provide incredible opportunities for regular folks to invest in companies they otherwise would never have access to.

After months of incredibly steady gains from the stock market, many retail investors are currently going all-in on stocks. But Dan shares some startling facts about the global economy that every investor needs to consider before pushing their pile of chips to the center of the table. Next, Dan brings Andrew Furman onto the show for this week's interview, a man with 35 years of experience in energy, trading, and portfolio management. Dan and Andrew have an in-depth discussion about the principles behind Andrew's new book Risk is an Asset, where Andrew details how he uses risk to his advantage while trading options. Andrew lays out a clear warning of the risks involved when traders become overconfident trading options, but assures listeners that "risk is good, as long as it's intelligently managed." Listen to all this and more on this week’s new episode.

In a year that has included a pandemic, a massive market crash, riots, forest fires, the upcoming possibility of a very contentious election, and plenty more... it's understandable that people are incredibly worried. But Dan takes some time to reflect on many of the good things happening in the world today that investors should keep in mind. Dan also brings Matt McCall onto the show, a man with one of the greatest track records in the financial world. Matt is an editor at Investor Place Media and over the past 12 years, Matt has identified over 250 stocks that went on to gain 100%... Plus over 20 other stocks that have gone on to skyrocket 1,000% or more! Matt shares where he looks to find these big winners, plus where he's putting his money today. He even shares the name and ticker symbol of a stock he thinks could easily triple from today's prices. Listen to all this and more on this week’s new episode.
