David Evans, CEO of our partner , joins me again to discuss all things metaverse. We start by clearing up some misconceptions about what it’ll allow users to do (hint: it’s a LOT more than just “gamification” and social media). I’m on the executive board of TCG World. David and I share some incredible recent deals the company has made… how it’s attracting the best developers in the world… its next crucial steps as it prepares to launch its metaverse at the end of this year… and why understanding NFTs is critical to profiting from the metaverse. In this episode  Some common misconceptions about the metaverse [5:38] TCG World’s recent deals will create an amazing user experience [7:40] How the metaverse will create boundless opportunities for users [15:10] “Gamification” is only the beginning [22:50]  Stay tuned for a special deal on TCG World real estate [41:25] Enjoyed this episode?

Results are in for Alphabet (GOOG) and Microsoft (MSFT). Daniel and I explain how a strong U.S. dollar is hurting these stocks… and why they don’t deserve to trade at current levels. In fact, a fundamental shift is leading to the collapse of the big tech growth story. (Interestingly, though, crypto seems to be breaking away from tech stocks…) We recap why all the positive earnings results aren’t as good as they look… and share two strategies to profit from this bear market rally. In this episode  What’s behind the strong start to earnings season [1:00] Why Alphabet’s earnings were a disaster [6:30] A fundamental shift is killing the tech stock growth story [9:05] Why a strong U.S. dollar is a major headwind for big tech [18:45] Is Bitcoin breaking away from the tech sector?

I just got back from a trip to Las Vegas with my wife. I highlight some of our adventures (including driving excavators)... and why the bustling Vegas economy is a bit of an anomaly. Stocks have been rallying thanks to better-than-expected results (so far) this earnings season. But the headlines aren’t telling the real story. I explain what’s behind the numbers… why this rally won’t last… and why investors need to brace for the downtrend to continue. But that doesn’t mean you should sell everything. I share how to make a fortune as stocks move lower with the Moneyflow Trader strategy… while holding onto quality long positions (like the one I’m recommending tomorrow in Curzio Venture Opportunities). In this episode  A recap of my trip to Vegas [0:30] Don’t trust this earnings rally [7:22] Inflation still hasn’t peaked [16:10] Why there’s more pain ahead for the market [20:50] How to make a fortune when stocks crash [26:30] How to find high-quality long positions [29:45] Enjoyed this episode?

We're changing up the format a bit today…  Instead of the usual interview, I’m hosting a Q&A session. (By the time you get this, I’ll be on a plane to Vegas to celebrate my wife's birthday.) Today’s show covers a wide range of topics, including: Is the market pricing in enough future rate hikes? [1:15] What equity risk premium (ERP) is—and why it spells trouble for stocks [4:30] How to make massive profits during a market crash [14:00] Why I thought Goldman's earnings were terrible [16:05] Are long field goals ruining the NFL?

It’s earnings season!  Daniel and I start by digging into Netflix’s latest quarterly results. Daniel highlights the numbers that impressed him the most... while I point to a few red flags investors should watch out for.  Asset manager BlackRock is taking some heat for its ESG (environmental, social, governance) stance. We break down the controversy… how it affects investment in certain areas… and whether it’s a good idea for asset managers to play politics. The White House just released a fact sheet about its plans to keep draining the strategic petroleum reserve (SPR) before refilling it next year. Daniel breaks down this absurd plan to suppress energy prices… and why it creates a major tailwind for investors looking for reliable and growing income.
