I highlight what’s behind the earnings beat... what the results say about the consumer... and why you should expect crazy deals this Black Friday. In this episode  Happy Thanksgiving week!

Daniel and I discuss what Target’s dismal results say about the overall economy... why Lowe’s CEO Marvin Ellison is full of s***—and why the stock could drop 20%-plus in the coming months… and why the issues faced by other retailers are great for discount retailers like TJX.

Frank Holmes, CEO and chief investment officer of U.S. Global Investors and executive chairman of Hive Blockchain Technologies (HIVE), joins me to discuss the crypto markets.  The big story in crypto is the collapse of FTX, one of the world’s largest crypto exchanges. Frank breaks down the impact on the industry… and how FTX’s business practices remind him of “shadow banking” in China. He shares the one question that helped him avoid massive losses when crypto lender Celsius went bankrupt… the “no-brainer” piece of crypto regulation that’s needed now… and what we need to see for crypto to rally. Frank also explains what has him excited about the metaverse and NFTs… why green energy is the future of crypto mining… and why crypto conferences are still seeing such strong demand, despite sinking prices for cryptocurrencies. (Speaking of conferences, Frank will soon be hosting his own virtual crypto conference. Stay tuned for more details… Here’s how to get tickets/(depending on link)/Save the date, X/Y/Z) He also explains why he expects the coming recession to last a while.

Daniel and I share our thoughts on whether Republicans or Democrats are the big winners… and how it will impact the markets.  Crypto is crashing as FTX, one of the largest crypto exchanges, needs a bailout. I rant about how this is terrible news for the industry… and why regulation is a must. And finally, Disney (DIS) reported pathetic earnings and the stock is down double digits.

Happy Election Day! I hope you all get out and vote today, since, according to the mainstream media, our democracy is at risk…  I highlight how wild politics in this country have become… why I’m being labeled a “racist” and a “radical”... and what I wish we’d focus on instead of all the fear-mongering and hate. A split government is typically bullish for the markets… And a “red wave” would be good for business… But regardless of how the election turns out, it won’t save your portfolio—the only thing that matters is the Fed. I explain why there’s zero chance of a soft landing… Goldman Sachs’ alarming forecast… and why we’re facing a recession in 2023. Luckily, Genia Turanova’s simple but effective Moneyflow Trader strategy was designed for exactly this kind of dangerous market. In fact, she just closed out her 17th and 18th winners year to date. And for a limited time, you can join at a deep discount. In this episode  Have you voted yet?

Yesterday, the Fed held its November meeting and raised interest rates by 75 basis points.  We break down the market reaction to the Fed… why the Fed won’t pivot… an absurd comment Powell made during his press conference… why you need to brace for further downside… and how to rake in profits as that happens. As earnings season continues, we discuss the record results from power management company Eaton (ETN)... what pawn shop operator FirstCash Holdings’ (FCFS) strong earnings say about the economy... and how energy policies are letting one coal company—a Curzio Research Advisory holding—print cash.

Later today, the Federal Reserve will hike interest rates yet again… but that’s hardly news at this point.

Happy belated Halloween!  Today’s show starts with a rant about how times have changed since I was a kid… why I’m worried kids can’t have fun anymore. Turning to the markets… I break down what to expect from tomorrow's Fed meeting… and why the latest jobs data should kill any optimism about the Fed turning dovish. I also dig into some stats on the booming market for HELOC loans… and what it means for the economy. We’re still in a bear market, but that doesn’t mean you should be selling everything.
