Stansberry Investor Hour

At the Temple of Apollo in Delphi, it's said that three maxims were etched into the stone, which have guided many during their darkest times. Dan revisits this old wisdom, which he rediscovered during his time away, and shows how it is incredibly applicable for anyone investing in the markets today. Dan also sits down with out-of-the-box thinker and fund manager Michael Gayed. Michael runs a unique high-turnover fund that focuses on capitalizing on market anomalies. So far this year, his fund has been crushing the market. Dan and Michael discuss a number of topics including how to handle risk, logical fallacies investors often make, and how Michael uses his strategies to capitalize on emerging trends. Michael also warns of some of the most popular stocks that could be hit hard after the election. Listen to all this and more on this week’s new episode.

Dan is out on assignment today, but earlier this week he sat down with Mark Putrino, a man with nearly two decades experience in the institutional investment management industry as a professional securities trader. Mark has spent more than 15 years as a head trader at three different institutional hedge funds and money management groups. Dan and Mark have an enlightening discussion about the current state of the market and Mark's history with Mario Gabelli and Steven A. Cohen, two of the best money managers of all time. Mark even walks Dan through some incredible buying opportunities that he sees today and what cultivates a winning mindset while trading.  Listen to all this and more on this week’s new episode.

Bloomberg recently reported that the Federal Reserve is likely to hold interest rates at 0% for the next 5 years... Whether rates are kept at zero for the full 5 years or not is speculation at this point, but this announcement is bad news for savers and send a clear message to borrowers to keep it going. And during this week's interview, Dan sits down for a conversation with Nick Sorrentino, co-founder of Against Crony Capitalism and the editor of ac2news.com. Nick works as a political and communications consultant whose clients have spanned the political spectrum. Dan and Nick spend their time discussing how we got to this insane level of cronyism in the government and the corporate world. Can anything be done to stop it? Listen to all this and more on this week’s new episode.

Gold and silver have soared higher and higher lately. And many listeners are asking, "What happens to gold and silver next?" But frankly, Dan thinks that's the wrong way to look at it. On this week's episode, Dan explains the mindset you should have about owning precious metals.  He also sits down to have a conversation with Marty Fridson, the Chief Investment Officer at Lehman, Livian, and Fridson Advisors, an SEC registered investment advisor. Marty is one of the most widely-respected fixed income analyst around. In 2000, he was the youngest person ever to be inducted into the Fixed Income Analyst Society Hall of Fame. Dan and Marty discuss what's happening in the high yield bond market, a massive market that people need to pay attention to, but sadly gets nowhere near the attention that equities do. Listen to all this and more on this week’s new episode.

Last week, Kodak's stock was as high as $60 after news of their big deal... Now it's back under $10... And for those who bought in on the run up towards the top, the damage is done. On this week's episode, Dan dives deep into this blatant example of crony capitalism that's unfortunately all too common today. He also sits down to have a conversation with Vitaly Katsenelson. Vitaly's books Active Value Investing and The Little Book of Sideways Markets have been translated into eight languages and Forbes Magazine has called him "the new Benjamin Graham." They have a fascinating conversation about what's happening with the Fed, Tesla, Bitcoin, and why Vitaly bought gold for the very first time.   Listen to all this and more on this week’s new episode.

One big announcement... That's all it took to boost one dying old company from $2.10 on a Friday... To as high as $60 on a Wednesday. On this week's episode I’ll examine some of the foul play surrounding the $765 million Kodak deal that was just announced last week. It looks so bad that the SEC is already involved. I also interview Simon Mikhailovich, founder of The Bullion Reserve, a full service gold solution for accredited investors. We talk about what makes gold better than many other investments, as well as where we see the price going in the upcoming years.

Dan's been ranting about excess in the stock market for ages. And today, he's found the perfect example... when earlier this week one of the least innovative businesses in recent memory soared over 1,400% thanks to some surprising news. Then on this week's interview, Dan welcomes guest Amity Shlaes on to the show. Amity chairs the Board at the Calvin Coolidge Presidential Foundation, famous for sponsoring the Coolidge Scholarship, a full academic scholarship for academic merit. Amity has written five books, four of which are New York Times Best Sellers, including The Great Society: A New History, The Forgotten Man, Coolidge, and The Greedy Hand. Dan and Amity discuss several of her books and how the historical episodes she writes about are instructive for investors today. And finally on the mailbag, one listener asks Dan... what's going on with silver? And another listener asks, Dan, you've been right on so many calls... why aren't you more aggressive?

When stocks are soaring and sports bloggers like Dave Portnoy of Barstool Sports and talking about how easy it is to make money in the stock market, it might be time to worry. Dan opens this week's episode by reminding listeners, "this is exactly what it sounds like at the top." Then on this week's interview, Dan welcomes guest William Cohan on to the show. Will started his career as an investigative reporter for the Raleigh Times before eventually setting his sights on Wall Street. He quickly began a successful career as a mergers and acquisitions banker, eventually becoming a managing director at JPMorgan Chase. Will and Dan discuss a wide range of topics including Will's latest book, The Last Tycoons: The Secret History of Lazard Frères & Co. Will says, "That's why I wanted to write this book... to share with people what it was like to work at this firm, which had this soaring reputation and was filled with, as you pointed out directly, Great Men but was utterly dysfunctional, utterly chaotic." Will gives Dan all of the fascinating details about what goes on behind the scenes at some of Wall Street's biggest firms. And finally on the mailbag, one listener asks Dan... if inflation occurs and interest rates rise, could we see a period where real estate prices suffer? And another listener asks some in depth questions about asset swaps at the Fed. Dan gives the listener a long and detailed answer here on this week's episode.

On today's episode of the Stansberry Investor Hour, Dan rants about one of the funniest and most ridiculous news stories you'll see in 2020. No, really. He also takes time to warn listeners about the herd of new day traders buying Tesla shares by the thousands. "I think it's 1998 all over again!" Then on this week's interview, Dan welcomes guest Peter Pham on to the show. Peter is the founder and chairman of Phoenix Capital, a bespoke advisory firm offering analysis, strategies and insights on investment and finance.  Peter's analysis has been featured on a variety of publications including The Motley Fool, Seeking Alpha, CNN Money, Bloomberg, and many more. Peter has a different way of looking at finance and the markets than many others. During the interview, Peter teaches Dan about some relatively new ideas in the world of finance like the omega point how it could signal the end of a nation's lifecycle. They both share a bleak view, but Peter says there are things you can do to protect yourself today. And finally on the mailbag, one listener asks Dan to clarify the best way to track and implement your trailing stops. Another asks if Dan thinks it's time to pull your money out of bank stocks. And if an investor believed commodities were severely undervalued, what would be the simplest most effective way to take advantage of that situation? Listen to Dan's response to these questions and more on this week's episode.

On this week's episode of the Stansberry Investor Hour, Dan opens the show ranting about The Heroes Act passed by the House of Representatives... a stimulus package with a $3 trillion price tag. Both sides of the aisle have agreed to print money like it's going out of style. Dan also shares an interesting silver trade that was brought to his attention  from one of Stansberry's top traders. Then on this week's interview, Dan welcomes guest Cullen Roche on to the show. Cullen is the founder of Orcam Financial Group, which is a financial services firm offering research, personal advisory, institutional consulting, and educational services. Before founding his own business, Cullen oversaw $500 million in AUM with Merrill Lynch Global Wealth Management. During the interview, Cullen explains in detail why the Fed usually takes all the heat when it comes to irresponsible fiscal policy, but the Treasury often gets overlooked. "The entity that is much more powerful in terms of money printing prowess is the US Treasury." Cullen also presents a grim view on the bond and equity markets going forward but gives sound advice on how to protect yourself. And finally on the mailbag, one repeat listener asks Dan if he thinks taxes will be raised going forward. Will the governments of the world even attempt to pay back all this debt? And another dedicated listener presents his own research on how trailing stops may affect your returns.
