Frank is moving into his new home, leaving me (Daniel) behind the mic to break down the chaos in the markets—including the banking crisis, today’s Fed meeting, and two asset classes that are rallying as investors worry that the turmoil will spread.       I highlight the wild volatility hitting bank stocks—including First Republic Bank’s (FRC) 40% move in a single trading day… the Fed’s attempts to calm investors… why it seems like the Fed is “shooting from the hip”… and why the headwinds in the banking sector aren’t going away anytime soon.       By the time you listen to this show, the Fed will have announced its decision on interest rates from today’s meeting. I break down what to expect from the market if the Fed pauses rate hikes… and two rallying asset classes that will continue to do well as the Fed tinkers with rates.       I also share a mega-cap stock that should be on your shopping list (hint: it always comes to the rescue during a market crisis).       In this episode     FRC is the poster child of this banking crisis [1:50]    How the Fed is “shooting from the hip” [3:15]    Why the bank problems won’t end anytime soon [6:00]    What to expect from the market following the Fed meeting [11:30]   These two assets are rallying amid the turmoil [15:25]   Add this mega-cap to your shopping list [18:20]     Enjoyed this episode?

2 assets to buy as the banking crisis unfolds

The market is punishing the entire banking sector following the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) and Signature Bank (SNBY). I start today’s show by explaining why SVB failed—and why the government bailed it out.       I also highlight how the situation has f***ed over the Federal Reserve… and whether a 50-basis-point rate hike is still on the table at next week’s Fed meeting.        The bottom line: The market is in for a lot more pain. That’s why I keep pounding the table on why  Moneyflow Trader  is a “must-have” service to protect yourself in this market. I want everyone to have access to this incredible strategy—which is why I’ve discounted  Moneyflow Trader  by 90%.       And make sure to join us for tomorrow’s  WSU Premium, where Daniel and I will break down the market chaos in more detail—and share one stock that’s being unfairly punished amid the banking crisis.       In this episode     Why Silicon Valley Bank failed [1:20]    The Fed is f***ed [9:05]    Why the government bailed out SVB [12:38]    How to protect yourself in this dangerous market [26:10]     Don’t miss tomorrow’s  WSU Premium  episode [34:50]       Enjoyed this episode?

The banking crisis should scare the s*** out of you

What a busy time of the year… for gymnastics. I kick things off with a rant on why kids' sports are a racket… and how they’re failing to prepare kids for the future.     I also rant about how inflation is hitting prices everywhere—even the games at Dave & Buster’s.     Fed Chair Jerome Powell is in front of the House Financial Services Committee today after testifying before the Senate yesterday. I highlight how much Powell’s tune has changed in a month… how his words impacted the stock market… and why you should expect next week’s inflation data to come in hotter than expected.     Be sure to join us for  WSU Premium  tomorrow, where Daniel and I will share a list of companies that will get crushed as the Fed ramps up its battle with inflation.      In this episode    Kids’ sports are a racket [0:30]    Inflation is showing up at Dave & Buster’s [9:00]    Powell’s sudden shift in tone [11:08]    Expect inflation to come in hot next week [14:50]    How to join us at  WSU Premium  (WSUOffer.com) [27:24]       Enjoyed this episode?

Wall Street Unplugged: Special Announcement

Big banks are cracking down on everything related to crypto—even us here at Curzio Research…       I start today’s show by sharing the story of Bank of America dropping us as a customer. I rant about how the government’s interference is terrible for the entire industry… the no-brainer regulations it should enforce… how regulators are acting like bad parents… and how (as with bad parents) the “tough love” is backfiring.       Meanwhile, the crypto market is shrugging off the negativity… with prices holding up well (even as stocks tumble). I break down how the crypto space reminds me of the early days of sports betting.       As a reminder, tomorrow will be our first episode of  WSU Premium—which will include a ton of new features aimed at making you richer and more informed. If you haven’t already, be sure to .       In this episode     Bank of America is breaking up with Curzio Research [0:30]    The government is trying to pick the crypto winners and losers [6:35]    Regulators can’t keep crypto in a corner [12:20]    Crypto is following the path of sports gambling [21:00]     [30:19]       Enjoyed this episode?

Regulators’ crypto crackdown is backfiring

Guys, I’m so excited about next week’s launch of  WSU Premium, where I’ll be expanding the scope of the podcast and offering more benefits… from tons of new trading ideas to insightful interviews from the smartest minds on Wall Street… and much more.     I explain why I’m starting this new, improved podcast… how I want to change the financial newsletter industry… and why I’m so passionate about helping individual investors. It’s the main reason I made this product affordable for everyone. .     Turning to markets, NVIDIA (NVDA) is up more than 10% after reporting solid earnings.     I deep-dive into the results… why NVDA needed to post strong numbers… the company’s guidance going forward… and the drawback of its recent success (while its competitors have underperformed).      I also explain why analysts are being short-sighted about the stock… and whether I’d buy it at current levels.      In this episode     Why I’m so excited about   [0:30]    How I want to change the financial newsletter industry [11:35]    Breaking down NVIDIA’s strong quarter [22:38]    Should you buy NVDA right now?

The downside of NVDA’s earnings blowout

First, a quick reminder that we’re launching  WSU Premium  next week. Subscribers will receive a ton of investing ideas, behind-the-scenes research, special interviews with Wall Street heavy hitters, and much more. If you haven’t already subscribed, .       The minutes from the Fed’s last meeting come out later today. Daniel and I discuss our expectations… whether they’ll be meaningful… and potential surprises that would alarm us.       Morgan Stanley released a report comparing the current state of the market to Mt. Everest’s “death zone” (the deadliest stretch for climbers). Daniel and I highlight the important details, including one critical indicator that’s flashing a warning sign for stocks.       Turning to earnings, shares of ZipRecruiter (ZIP) plunged more than 25% after the company’s latest results. I explain why ZIP’s terrible quarter is actually a positive sign for the economy.       Finally, La-Z-Boy (LZB) just broke out to a 52-week high following a solid earnings report. We break down the No. 1 factor behind the company’s outperformance in this tough environment. And it’s something you should be looking for in every stock right now.       In this episode          [00:30]    What to watch out for in the Fed minutes [2:30]    The stock market is in a “death zone” [9:45]    This chart is flashing a warning sign for stocks [14:25]    Why ZIP’s terrible results are good for the economy [17:50]    The No. 1 factor behind LZB’s success [23:50]       Enjoyed this episode?

The stock market is in a ‘death zone’

I kick things off today with a special announcement: This is my last  free  Tuesday  Wall Street Unplugged  podcast. We’ll be launching  WSU Premium  next Wednesday (March 1). Find out all about the new features and benefits we’ll be adding to the show—.        This morning, we got the latest earnings results from two of America’s biggest retailers: Home Depot (HD) and Walmart (WMT)...       I highlight some troubling signs for HD, including one key metric that just fell for the first time since 2009. And there’s more bad news when you look at the company’s costs… and the expensive price tag for its stock.        Turning to WMT, the company delivered solid quarterly results but weak guidance for the year ahead. I share some red flags I see in WMT’s outlook… and why the stock doesn’t look like a bargain at current levels.        Bottom line: The latest results show there’s more pain ahead for retailers. And investors need to be cautious as the bullish thesis for the stock market falls apart.        In this episode         WSU Premium  launches next week [0:30]    Home Depot is priced to perfection [7:14]    Walmart’s weak forward guidance [16:15]    The bull thesis for stocks is falling apart [23:25]       Enjoyed this episode?     Get  Wall Street Unplugged  delivered FREE to your inbox each week:      Wall Street Unplugged podcast is available at:     --: itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/wall-street-unplugged-frank/   --: www.stitcher.com/podcast/curzio-research/wall-street-unplugged-2   --: www.curzioresearch.com/category/podcast/wall-street-unplugged/     : twitter.com/frankcurzio :. www.facebook.com/CurzioResearch/ : www.linkedin.com/in/frank-curzio-690561a7/ : www.curzioresearch.com

Retailers are in big trouble

This morning’s Producer Price Index (PPI) data came in hotter than expected—showing a 0.7% increase, vs. 0.4% estimates. It’s just one of several signs that inflation has surged over the past few weeks.       Daniel and I discuss the growing disconnect between what the Fed is saying and what the market is hearing… why investors need to be prepared for more rate hikes… and why the Fed is fighting a battle it can’t win.       Charlie Munger is in the news for his latest anti-Bitcoin comments… even praising China for banning it. Daniel rants about Munger’s belligerent stance—and the hypocrisy of a lifelong capitalist praising communism/authoritarianism.       I also share how regulation could act as a tailwind for the crypto market in the coming years.       Lastly, I’m curious: For those of you who didn’t sell Bitcoin last year amid all the bankruptcies, fraud, and volatility… is there anything that would convince you to sell? .       In this episode         Breaking down the latest PPI data [1:30]    Forget about a soft landing for the economy [7:00]    The Fed’s no-win situation [12:18]    Why Charlie Munger is a hypocrite [19:25]    What would it take to make you sell your Bitcoin?

Why the Fed is f***ed

I start today’s podcast with a major announcement: We’re launching  WSU Premium  soon. I share some details about the features we're introducing that will make the podcast a "must listen" for every investor. .       The latest quarterly 13F filings are starting to come out, giving a look at what the biggest money managers are buying and selling.        We highlight some of the moves that stood out to us—including a ton of buying in Big Tech stocks. We break down why Nelson Peltz and David Tepper are building positions in Disney (DIS)… and what the company needs to do to get back on track. And we dig into Cathie Wood’s recent moves in Coinbase (COIN)... and whether it can survive the crypto bear market.       Next, we cover the latest earnings reports. Daniel shares why he wouldn’t invest in Hanesbrands (HBI) for at least six months… a tech company catching his attention after posting profits for the first time in 20 years… and why he’s not worried about the 10% drop in Devon Energy (DVN) today.       I go over the incredible earnings from Roblox (RBLX)—and what it means for the metaverse trend… And I explain how Ford (F) is dropping the ball when it comes to electric vehicles.

Big changes coming to Wall Street Unplugged

Happy Valentine's Day!       First, I take a victory lap for another successful Super Bowl prediction… sort of: , and I was right!       I highlight why this was one of the best Super Bowls in recent memory—despite the fact that my beloved Eagles  should  have won… and the NFL is a bunch of a**holes who should be ashamed of themselves.       Turning to the markets… The latest Consumer Price Index (CPI) data came out this morning. I break down why the numbers cripple the bullish thesis… and how consumer habits are about to change.       More bad news for the bulls: Earnings estimates keep coming down… and I expect several quarters of lower earnings. I explain why this—combined with several other risk factors—is creating a recipe for disaster.       Bottom line: This market should scare the hell out of you.       …       In this episode         The NFL is a bunch of a**holes [0:30]    How this morning’s CPI data hurts the bullish thesis [9:45]    The “earnings recession” is just beginning [13:50]    Why this market should scare the hell out of you [21:15]     [30:40]       Enjoyed this episode?

Inflation is blowing up the bullish thesis

I’m taking a break from discussing the markets—and devoting today’s show to Sunday’s Super Bowl matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and my beloved Philadelphia Eagles.       Long-time listeners know I’ve been analyzing the big game for over a decade… And if you want to make a fortune betting on the Super Bowl, DON’T follow my advice.       I’m obviously rooting for the Eagles… but I’ll try to keep my predictions unbiased…       I start with a quick look at how fantasy football has exploded over the years. I also analyze each team in depth… and break down the stats I use to try to determine the winner.       Finally, I share who I think will win… my prediction for the final score... and some prop bets I’d wager on.       Enjoy the game!       In this episode         The evolution of fantasy football [2:00]     A thorough analysis of the Chiefs [5:25]    Breaking down my beloved Eagles [8:45]    My predictions for the big game [23:05]    Prop bets to take advantage of [26:35]       Enjoyed this episode?     Get  Wall Street Unplugged  delivered FREE to your inbox every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday:      Wall Street Unplugged podcast is available at:     --: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/wall-street-unplugged-frank/   --  : https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/curzio-research/wall-street-unplugged-2   --  : https://www.curzioresearch.com/category/podcast/wall-street-unplugged/     : https://twitter.com/frankcurzio :. https://www.facebook.com/CurzioResearch/ :  :

How to make a fortune betting on the Super Bowl

A Chinese “spy” balloon was shot down in South Carolina over the weekend. Daniel and I joke about how Trump would have handled the situation. But on a more serious note, I’m concerned about the narrative around China—and how it gets a “free pass” thanks to its global trade influence.       The stock market rallied following Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s dovish comments at the Economic Club of Washington yesterday. Daniel shares why the meeting’s vibe didn’t sit right with him… and I explain why the market would drop 10% if the Fed announced a rate cut.       Next, we discuss billionaire Ron Baron’s recent interview on CNBC—including his investment philosophy… why he emphasizes people as well as ideas… and why he believes the market will return to 2021 levels by the end of next year.       In this episode         The drama over the Chinese “spy” balloon [1:00]    Why China gets special treatment on the global stage [4:10]    The disconnect between the Fed’s comments and the stock market [11:40]    Will the market return to its 2021 highs by next year?

How Trump would’ve handled the Chinese ‘spy’ balloon

I start things off this week with some advice to you all: Don’t ever build a house! I share a light-hearted rant about my family's current struggles… and why they’re good problems to have. Earnings season is about 75% over… and honestly, it's been terrible. I break down some numbers that show why the headlines about “beating earnings” aren’t nearly as positive as they sound… why the next few quarters are going to be ugly… and why Wall Street’s expectations are ridiculously high. Put simply, the current market conditions are a recipe for disaster. Next, Ford CEO Jim Farley is getting credit for his “honesty” about the headwinds his company is facing. I explain why this media narrative is wrong… how Ford’s management has been screwing up for a long time… and why its stock should be trading much lower. Gold miner Newmont Corp (NEM) just announced a bid to acquire Australian gold company Newcrest Mining. I highlight the impact the deal would have on NEM… what it says about the current environment for gold miners… which group of gold stocks is in big trouble... and whether I’d buy NEM here.  In this episode   Don’t ever build a house! [00:30] This earnings season has been terrible [7:05] Why the current market is a recipe for disaster [9:55] Ford should be down a lot more after its awful results [10:30] Is NEM a buy right here?

Current market conditions are a recipe for disaster

To start today’s bonus episode, I have an announcement about a new product I’ve been working on called WSU Premium.  For this special interview, I welcome Chris Champion, founder of the Crypto Dinner Club.  I met Chris at the Consumer Electronic Show (CES) in Las Vegas last month. He’s one of the most connected people in crypto—with an impressive network of celebrities and business contacts… and access to some of the best deals in the space. Chris talks about his upbringing in Chicago—including his grandmother’s hilarious lesson on cursing… how spending $29,000 on sushi led to his brilliant idea for the Crypto Dinner Club… and his soon-to-be-released book, Win the Day: A Guide to a Successful and Sober Life.   Chris has been investing in crypto for over a decade. He shares why he’s watching Wyoming closely right now… and why he believes crypto is about to majorly disrupt one multibillion-dollar industry. This weekend, Chris will be livestreaming a celebrity basketball tournament, where the attendees will include legends like Floyd Mayweather Jr, Tyreek Hill, Gary Payton, and Dennis Rodman… I’ll also be attending (via Twitter).

Daniel and I break down how the market is ignoring the Fed’s words… why we expect Powell to take a hammer to the current rally… how high the Fed will push interest rates… and why this market makes me think of Batman vs. the Joker.   Cathie Wood went on CNBC this morning to explain why she thinks disruptive tech will become a $200 trillion market… and Bitcoin will eventually hit $500,000. I have a ton of respect for Cathie… but I need to point out some problems with her forecasts.

2 stocks that should be in everyone’s portfolio

Amir Adnani—CEO, president, and co-founder of Uranium Energy Corp. (UEC)—joins me today to discuss the latest developments in the uranium space.  We go over the biggest stories for nuclear power/uranium, including why it was such a popular topic at the World Economic Forum in Davos last week… how Japan is causing a paradigm shift in the uranium market… and how the Russia-Ukraine war will have a massive, long-term impact on the global supply of this valuable resource.  Amir also shares some details about the world-class Canadian mine his company just bought—despite making a lower bid than competitors. Plus, he explains why uranium prices could double from current levels… and why the current supply/demand situation in the uranium market is unlike anything he’s ever seen in his career.  In this episode   Japan’s about-face on nuclear power creates a paradigm shift [4:45] Multiple tailwinds are driving the uranium bull market [9:10] Uranium supply isn’t keeping up with demand [13:10] Why Russian sanctions could impact the market for years [16:00]  How UEC got a bargain on a world-class asset [20:50] Why uranium prices could double from here [36:20]  Enjoyed this episode?

We start today’s show with a discussion about the Doomsday Clock—an indicator that shows how close we are to a global apocalypse—which is sitting at its most extreme reading ever: 90 seconds to midnight. On a lighter note, in honor of National Florida Day, Daniel shares a few fun facts about our home state. Turning to the markets… Daniel and I deep-dive into the latest earnings from Microsoft (MSFT) and AT&T (T)... whether Microsoft deserves its premium valuation... AT&T's fantastic sales tactics... and how T turned itself into a growth stock. Next week, we’ll get the latest results from oil giants like ExxonMobil (XOM). I highlight the big tailwind that’s bolstering the oil market… and why we should all be thankful for this sector.
