Market Mastery Through Trend Following with Eric Nyquist
When financial stress tore Eric Nyquist's family apart during the mid-2000s, it sparked his lifelong mission to understand how to both grow and protect wealth. Now leading fund sales and distribution at Howard Capital Management, Eric shares how personal experience shaped his investment philosophy and why protecting capital during market downturns is just as crucial as capturing upside.The cornerstone of Howard Capital's approach is their proprietary HCM Byline – a trend-following indicator that serves as a market barometer, signaling whether markets are healthy or deteriorating. Developed by founder Vance Howard in the mid-90s after experiencing the 1987 market crash firsthand, this systematic methodology removes emotional decision-making from investing, addressing what Eric identifies as the number one reason investors underperform: behavioral finance pitfalls.Eric challenges conventional investment wisdom throughout our conversation, particularly questioning Modern Portfolio Theory's assumptions about rational investor behavior and its equation of volatility with risk. "Volatility works on a two-way street," he explains. "There's as much upside volatility as downside, and if you can't capture upside volatility, you're never going to make money in the market."For advisors constructing portfolios, Eric suggests thinking in thirds – allocating to tactical growth strategies like Howard Capital's ETFs, actively managed fixed income, and passive strategies to keep costs down. Their ETFs (LGH and QQH) offer tactical versions of major indexes designed not to avoid every market hiccup, but to protect investors from the devastating 30-50% declines that can derail financial plans, especially for those nearing retirement.Whether you're concerned about current market valuations, wondering about the persistence of large-cap dominance, or simply looking for ways to enhance your investment approach, this conversation offers valuable perspective on navigating market cycles with confidence. Visit howardcm.com to learn more about their systematic approach to staying tactical in today's rapidly evolving markets.DISCLAIMER – PLEASE READ: This is a sponsored episode for which Lead-Lag Publishing, LLC has been paid a fee.

Navigating Volatile Markets Through Income with Jay Hatfield
Amid rising market turbulence, finding stable income sources has become increasingly crucial for investors seeking portfolio resilience. In this compelling discussion, Jay Hatfield draws on his 35 years of Wall Street experience to illuminate the path forward for income-focused investing strategies that can weather economic uncertainty.Hatfield challenges conventional wisdom with his razor-sharp macroeconomic analysis, demonstrating why tariffs are actually deflationary rather than inflationary and how this misunderstanding creates opportunities for well-positioned investors. His forecast that the 10-year Treasury will drop to 3.75% as the Federal Reserve finally acknowledges economic slowdown provides a framework for strategic positioning across asset classes.The discussion reveals why traditional S&P 500 portfolios yielding just 1.3% simply can't generate meaningful income in today's environment. Instead, Hatfield outlines a comprehensive approach using preferred stocks (PFFA yielding ~9%), high-yield bonds (BNDS yielding ~8%), dividend-paying stocks, and reformed MLPs to create substantial income streams while managing risk. His insights on small caps are particularly compelling – currently trading at significant discounts to large caps, they offer both attractive income and growth potential as rates decline and M&A activity accelerates.What sets this conversation apart is Hatfield's practical approach to portfolio construction. Most investors unknowingly carry excessive technology exposure through their index funds and individual holdings, leaving them vulnerable to tech sector volatility. By strategically incorporating income-producing assets, investors can create more balanced portfolios that generate consistent returns regardless of market conditions. As Hatfield notes, "staying out of trouble is about 90% of the battle" when it comes to long-term investment success.DISCLAIMER – PLEASE READ: This is a sponsored episode for which Lead-Lag Publishing, LLC has been paid a fee.

Beyond Market Cap: Endowment Investing Strategies with Meb Faber
The financial world stands at a crossroads where unprecedented US stock market valuations meet revolutionary portfolio strategies and tax solutions. Meb Faber, founder of Cambria Investment Management, cuts through market noise to deliver essential insights for investors navigating today's challenging landscape.With US stocks experiencing one of their four major valuation peaks in history and the S&P 500 delivering a 10-bagger return since 2009, many investors find themselves trapped in concentrated positions they can't sell due to tax consequences. The warning signs are clear – market cap weighted indexes have become dangerously concentrated, with most investors significantly overweight in US equities compared to global alternatives.Faber introduces Cambria's groundbreaking endowment-style ETF (E&DW) that reimagines David Swensen's Yale approach for everyday investors. This strategy employs modest leverage (130-150%) across a truly global asset allocation that emphasizes foreign markets, value investments, and real assets – areas consistently underrepresented in typical portfolios. Historical evidence suggests this approach can potentially deliver Yale-like returns (13% annually) compared to the 8-10% from traditional allocations, though with comparable equity-like volatility.The presentation's most revolutionary concept comes through Faber's explanation of Section 351 ETF conversions – a tax strategy allowing investors to contribute appreciated stock positions to seed ETFs without triggering capital gains. This mechanism works like a 1031 exchange for stocks, enabling trapped investors to diversify concentrated positions while deferring taxes. The implications are transformative, potentially creating more impact than the entire crypto ETF phenomenon.Whether you're concerned about market valuations, seeking portfolio diversification strategies, or exploring tax-efficient investment approaches, this presentation delivers actionable insights from one of investment management's most innovative thinkers. The combination of endowment-style investing with tax-efficient conversion strategies represents a genuine paradigm shift in how investors can approach wealth management in 2025 and beyond.DISCLAIMER – PLEASE READ: This is a sponsored episode for which Lead-Lag Publishing, LLC has been paid a fee.

Risk, Reward, and Raising $135 Million: The Public Story with Leif Abraham
The financial landscape is shifting dramatically, and Public.com is at the forefront of this transformation. Co-founder Leif Abraham takes us behind the scenes of the five-year journey that's reimagining what an investment platform can be for today's generation of investors.Abraham reveals how Public differentiated itself from day one by focusing on people who want to take their investing more seriously rather than just speculating. The platform's technological innovation extends far beyond its intuitive interface – a custom-built multi-asset ledger enables fractional investing across all asset classes and real-time money movements that legacy platforms simply can't match.Perhaps most fascinating is Public's groundbreaking work with AI through its Alpha tool, which began as an experimental project when OpenAI first released its API. Now fully integrated throughout the platform, Alpha provides contextual insights about market movements, breaks down earnings calls in real-time, and answers specific questions about companies. Unlike generic AI implementations, Public's approach combines GPT's natural language capabilities with proprietary structured financial data, creating what Abraham describes as "We are the brain, and GPT is the face of it."The company recently secured $135 million in funding (bringing their total to over $400 million), which Abraham suggests will likely be their final capital raise as the platform continues expanding its offerings. Public's vision challenges the traditional binary between self-directed and managed investing by creating a spectrum of "guided investing" where users collaborate with intelligent systems to build portfolios that reflect their unique needs.For investors looking to capitalize on the current rate environment, Public has seen growing interest in its bond offerings, particularly simplified "bond accounts" that provide easy access to diversified fixed income exposure without requiring deep expertise in the bond market.Ready to experience the next generation of investing? Visit Public.com to explore their innovative platform that's helping people take a more serious approach to building wealth.DISCLAIMER – PLEASE READ: This is a sponsored episode for which Lead-Lag Publishing, LLC has been paid a fee.

Phoenix Rising: From Rock Bottom to Financial Freedom with Coach JV
The transformative power of inner change ripples through every aspect of Coach JV's extraordinary life story. From the depths of opiate addiction and a suicide attempt in 2006 to building multiple successful companies and achieving financial freedom, his journey reveals that our external reality shifts dramatically when we address our internal landscape first."When I changed me, the environment changed," Coach JV explains, sharing how he went from selling everything he owned to feed his addiction to completely reinventing himself through spiritual awakening and dedicated personal development. With raw vulnerability, he recounts the pivotal moment when, unable to buy Christmas presents for his three-year-old daughter, he realized he'd hit rock bottom. That crisis became the catalyst for what he describes as the death of John Vasquez and the birth of Coach JV.What makes this conversation so powerful is Coach JV's unflinching honesty about his transformation. Starting as a banker after recovery, he climbed rapidly through the corporate ranks, acquiring the trappings of conventional success—only to discover he was still chasing external validation. A chance conversation with a contented gardener during executive banking school sparked a deeper questioning that led to his true purpose: helping others escape the "just-over-broke" system through financial education and spiritual growth.His perspective on cryptocurrency offers particularly valuable insights. Rather than viewing crypto as a speculative gamble, Coach JV analyzes it through the lens of his banking expertise, identifying coins with genuine utility in the evolving financial infrastructure. He shares his diversification strategy that combines high-growth potential assets with more stable investments like cash-value life insurance, real estate, and dividend-producing stocks.Ready to transform your relationship with money and discover how internal shifts create external abundance? Connect with Coach JV on social media or visit his platforms to learn how you can break free from financial limitations while building a life of genuine purpose and fulfillment.The content in this program is for informational purposes only.

Navigating Market Volatility: A Conversation with Wall Street Veteran Jay Hatfield
Jay Hatfield cuts through market noise with a refreshingly clear perspective on inflation: stick a yellow sticky note on your mirror that says "inflation is caused by excessive monetary growth." This fundamental principle helps investors avoid being misled by commodity price fluctuations that resolve naturally through market mechanisms rather than representing true inflation.The current market volatility, Hatfield explains, largely reflects normal seasonal patterns during non-earnings periods when high-flying stocks typically experience pullbacks. While acknowledging a potential growth slowdown with Fed policy about "150 basis points too tight," he maintains a bullish long-term outlook on both bonds and stocks, expecting rates to continue dropping as the Fed eventually recognizes the economic deceleration.Hatfield's investment approach emphasizes human intelligence over algorithmic trading – a philosophy he applies across his firm's six ETFs managing $2.6 billion in assets. He articulates clear distinctions between fixed income investment strategies, where active management provides significant advantages through understanding call risk and credit dynamics, unlike equity markets where momentum sometimes prevails. His firm conducts granular analysis of individual securities, even examining specific buildings within REIT portfolios to identify value opportunities where others see only sector-wide challenges.Particularly illuminating is Hatfield's contrarian view on recession dynamics, noting they typically begin with investment declines that impact employment before affecting consumer spending. This framework, combined with his assessment of China's economy continuing to grow at around 5% despite negative narratives, provides investors with valuable perspective for navigating current market conditions.For income-focused investors, Hatfield offers practical insights on preferred securities, bonds, and midstream energy companies, explaining how these complement each other with different risk-volatility profiles while generating reliable income streams in various economic environments. His call-writing strategy for large-cap equities demonstrates how active management can enhance returns when applied with judgment rather than mechanical rules.Human-powered market intelligence, developed through decades of experience and rigorous fundamental analysis, remains Hatfield's core advantage in a world increasingly dominated by algorithms and momentum trading.DISCLAIMER – PLEASE READ: This is a sponsored episode for which Lead-Lag Publishing, LLC has been paid a fee.
