Frankly Speaking

I talk about my successes on the podcast… but I also share my #fails. Not just for the sake of transparency, but for the sake of learning.

A listener wants to know one of my biggest winners and my biggest investing mistake. I break down one sector that offers huge opportunities for investors, if you know how to navigate it… and tell the story of the globetrotting boot-on-the-ground research mission that wound up teaching me an incredible lesson.

I also revisit an old portfolio holding—a “political whipping boy” and one heck of a frustrating recommendation. Warning: Epic rant ahead… plus a lesson you must never forget.

I have a major announcement regarding some changes coming to the Frankly Speaking podcast. If you enjoy the show, be sure to pay attention.

If you’re thinking about investing in junior gold miners, it’s a good thing you’re listening to this podcast first [9:50]. I was in Vancouver last week… and you won’t believe what I saw out there. I also share three names with great management teams and huge upside potential.

A new subscriber asks if I ever revisit old investments we’ve stopped out of in our portfolios [1:24]. Here’s what I need to see before recommending a company again…

This week, Google reported weak first quarter earnings… I won’t lie, the miss took me by surprise. I break down all the details of the company’s quarter—and explain why next quarter is critical for the search giant [21:41].

But before I get to that…

A longtime listener asks if now’s the time to add to positions in uranium junior mining stocks. I explain why you need exposure to this sector… and why you need to be careful before you go all-in [8:35].

I’m meeting with the management team of junior miner Northern Dynasty (NAK) very soon… and expect to have an analysis for you in the coming weeks. This company is unlike any I’ve ever seen in the resource sector. Don’t miss my recap today of its incredible story [intro]...

I’ve never seen a company make a major change to its business model like Facebook did… and recover within six months. Today I break down its first quarter (Q1) earnings and why it’s still an incredible growth company.

A longtime subscriber has some suggestions on portfolio updates and buy-up-to prices. I explain our strategy... and what I’ve learned from my 25 years in this industry about balancing time between current holdings and looking for new opportunities.

Since we launched the Curzio Equity Owners (CEO) token, I’ve gotten a lot of questions from other business owners about the process. If you’re interested in raising money through your own token, I recap the journey… including who to work with and what to watch out for.

--------------------------------

P.S. If you’re concerned about what’s in your portfolio, the Wall Street Unplugged All-Star Portfolio requires almost ZERO effort. These are stock picks vetted by millionaire and billionaire Wall Street traders… then me… and handed to you on a silver platter.

Every Thursday, on average, you’ll receive a new pick right to your inbox… along with company stats, a stop loss, and the buy-up-to price. If you’d like to try it out for two weeks—for the price of a soy latte—click here.

IBM has been a whipping boy for the mainstream media for several years… But regular listeners know I’ve been bullish on it for months now. Today I break down its recent quarter... and explain how this incredible company has morphed into a growth stock.

It’s one of the best feelings in investing—when one of your portfolio companies is bought out by a competitor for a premium. If you owned shares of Anadarko Petroleum, you made 37% overnight as Chevron announced a takeover. Here’s how I decide when to sell after a takeover is announced… and what to think about in order to capture the biggest gains possible.

I’m truly humbled by the feedback and support I receive from all of you. You’re like family to me… and I’ve got some amazing personal news to share with you today.

I hope you all have a great Easter weekend.

I’ve been pounding the table for a long time about digital securities. They’re one of the greatest opportunities I’ve ever seen… But if you’re not an accredited investor, you can't participate—yet.

Over the next year… this sector will open up to everyone.

Also, I’m amazed at the positive feedback I’ve gotten from listeners and guests after I mentioned a potential Curzio Research conference. Stayed tuned for further updates…

A listener asks my thoughts on the markets from a macro level. Here are some countries I’m bullish on… and the effect a U.S.-China Trade deal might have.

And we’re going to see a lot of volatility this upcoming earnings season. This is why…

A long-time listener asks if I’d consider having my own conference. Now let’s face it… Most conferences are boring. But I always love getting the chance to meet and talk with subscribers, so a Curzio Research conference is something I’ve been excited about for a long time. I share my plans today.

You may have come across Fidelity National Information Services (FIS) in crypto news. This payment processor is investing in blockchain technology… and recently made a major acquisition. I answer a question about whether the company is a buy or a sell.

Regular listeners know I’ve been bullish on AT&T for some time. I break down what you need to know about the company’s future… and why the recent Time Warner acquisition was a great move. Going forward, I see incredible opportunities with 5G, AI (artificial intelligence), Big Data, and the cloud.

A listener asks my advice on the future of—and job prospects in—equity research. I break down the huge opportunity I see in the field… if you’re willing to put in the time and work.

Apple’s latest event announced everything from a subscription news service to original TV shows to a credit card. This may be exciting for consumers, but I explain what it really means for investors…

My podcast listeners are the best. Because of you, we continue to grow our brand and our reach. If there’s someone you’d like me to bring on the podcast, let me know at frank@curzioresearch.com.

March Madness is upon us… I hope you take time to watch the amazing NCAA tournament.

Many listeners know I’m a diehard Jayhawks fan, and today I answer a question on how far I think they can go.

Trying to predict the future can be exhausting when making investments. I explain why—in most cases—you shouldn’t pay much attention to forecasts beyond two years… and why you should ignore economists altogether.

One of the most difficult decisions investors face is when—and what—to sell. Don’t make it too complicated… I share a simple strategy for selling out of investments when the time comes.

-----------------------------

P.S. We’re still welcoming new equity owners to Curzio Research. We’ve hit our soft cap, and our security token is now being offered to outside investors. So if you’ve been thinking of joining us, it’s not too late to invest… But as soon as we hit our hard cap, the offering will close.

To learn more, go to our dedicated Curzio Equity Owners site.

After two awful crashes in a handful of months, Boeing’s most popular airplane is grounded. This is a story I know well, having personally toured the amazing Boeing facility in Seattle just a couple years ago.

Today I talk about why there’s too much risk surrounding the stock right now. But if you want to invest in the space… I tell you what to buy instead.

A listener sets me up for a rant by asking about the college admissions scandal. While I do go on a bit of a rant, “Operation Varsity Blues” really shouldn’t surprise anyone. And once I get started, I share my opinion on some other screwed up topics… all for your listening pleasure.

I’m getting a lot of great feedback for our last Wall Street Unplugged guest, former U.S. Memory Champion, Chester Santos. If you haven’t already listened to the interview, you don’t want to miss it.

Keep your questions and suggestions coming as we continue to build our amazing listener network.

I’ve met some amazing people in 20 years of doing something I love. A longtime listener asks how I keep such a powerful network of contacts. The key is something you may not expect...

I’ve been talking about growing my company, and this has led some folks to worry that we’ll take on too many subscribers… that it might become difficult to get into our recommendations. I explain why that will never be a problem.

And there’s no such thing as a perfect exit strategy, but you’ve got to have an exit plan in place to manage risk. I answer a great question on hard stops and trailing stops… and how I decide which one to use.

------------ P.S. It’s not too late to invest in our digital security, Curzio Equity Owners… But if you’re interested, please act fast. We’ve now opened it up to outside investors, including large funds. And as soon as we hit our hard cap, the offering will close. Learn more here.

Options trading is a great way to limit risk while juicing your returns… if you know how to time it right. I kick off today’s episode by discussing the pros and cons of this investment strategy. (By the way, Mike Alkin’s amazing Moneyflow Trader service puts these theories into practice.)

Cryptocurrencies remain in a bear market... But today I explain why I’m optimistic about the price of Bitcoin over the next year.

As first quarter earnings season comes to an end, one listener wonders whether to focus on a company’s quarterly or annual numbers. I explain why I focus on the longer term... and how you can use earnings season to your advantage.

We all have to cut our losses from time to time, even when we believe strongly in a stock. I answer a great question on revisiting past investments... and how I go about taking a fresh view on an old position.

When you turn on any financial news program, you’re likely to see some interview or opinion from a hedge fund manager. Some are more public than others when it comes to talking about their ideas...

Today I answer a question on who my top five hedge fund managers are... and why I respect them as investors.

I’ve been pounding the table lately on why I believe digital securities are going to give investors tremendous opportunity over the next several years. Listen as I answer a question about Overstock.com’s exposure to this sector, and why I believe this company has incredible potential.

Speaking of digital securities… We’re closing in on the soft cap for our Curzio Equity Owners security token offering.

If you want to invest at the special Curzio insiders-only discount, you only have one week left! Listen in for the latest on our offering… And again, thank you to all who have already invested and put your faith in me and my growing company.

P.S. It’s not too late to own an equity stake in Curzio Research as we expand into one of the largest investor newsletter publishers in the country.

If you’re an accredited investor, click here to watch my short presentation on the benefits for Curzio Equity Owners (CEO) token holders… and how you can grab your exclusive insider discount.

If you had the opportunity to spend $3 billion and get back $25 billion over time…

Would you do it?

Turns out, there are a select few New Yorkers who think it’s a terrible idea.

Today I discuss the news that Amazon will no longer build its HQ2 in New York… and what this says about our current political scene.

In 2017, J.P. Morgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon said Bitcoin was a fraud…

But this week, J.P. Morgan announced it’s creating its very own cryptocurrency. This is just another example of how blockchain technology is disrupting the financial industry like never before.

And…

It’s official! We’ve launched our industry’s first digital security, the Curzio Equity Owners token (CEO). I’ve been working on this for months… and investor response has been fantastic. I tell you all about it on today’s show.

There’s always volatility during earnings season. One sector in particular is grabbing my attention…

Oil.

On today’s episode, I explain what investors need to watch for as the oil industry faces headwinds.

My contrarian streak for Super Bowl predictions continues to impress… I’ve gotten it wrong nine out of the last 10 years. On today’s podcast you can find out what I really think about the most boring Super Bowl ever.

And more importantly… I explain how understanding the Patriots’ head coach can make you a better investor.

It’s official! Next week, Curzio Research is launching our industry’s first-ever digital security, the Curzio Equity Owners (CEO) token. I answer a couple great questions on how to invest in the deal… the discounts I’m offering to you, my best and most loyal followers… and how I plan to build this company into one of the biggest financial publishers in the U.S.

On today’s show, I tackle an old nemesis.

Yes, I was wrong about this company in a past recommendation. But after its first solid quarter in two years, I’m ready to talk about this name… why I think the stock has bottomed… and its latest bold move to shake things up.

Speaking of “shaking things up”... I believe digital securities will have a revolutionary impact just like the internet. And we’re launching our own digital security Curzio Equity Owners (CEO) in less than two weeks.

I explain how accredited investors can participate in the growth of my company by having an equity stake. And if you’re not accredited, I break down how you’ll also be able to own this security in the next 12 months.

Even if you’re not interested in investing in CEO, it’s worth your time to get familiar with digital securities… They’re the perfect disruptor for financial markets.

Once a year I go out on a limb for all you sports fans and give you my prediction for the Super Bowl. Regular listeners know I’m the biggest contrarian indicator when it comes to picking the winner of this game…

And you’ll be blown away by this year’s prediction

I just got back from the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas. It was another great display of tech trends as over 4,500 companies presented the newest gadgets and technologies launching in 2019.

I break down everything I saw at this year’s show… And while I came back with plenty of new ideas, there are three trends—and several companies—I’d definitely stay clear of.

Netflix reported earnings yesterday, giving awful guidance going forward. Earlier in the day I tweeted about why I wouldn’t be buying shares… On today’s podcast, I share the latest numbers and explain why Netflix is a dangerous company to own at these levels.  

I’ll be speaking at the Vancouver Resource Investment Conference (VRIC) over the weekend. If you’re in attendance, make sure you come say hello. I love meeting listeners.

My presentation will be about our digital security offering, Curzio Equity Owners (CEO). We’re just a few weeks away from launch… and in today’s episode, I’ll share the details on how you can participate in the growth of Curzio Research and own equity in my business.

I also explain why digital securities will be a trillion-dollar industry soon, disrupting numerous industries, including investment banking, brokers, royalty companies, real estate, and the major stock exchanges.

In recent weeks, I’ve been giving you in-depth coverage of digital securities—a market that’s creating a huge paradigm shift in finance. Regular listeners know we’re getting ready to launch our own digital security, the Curzio Equity Owners (CEO) token. On today’s show I answer questions about the structure of our deal and why this is a great opportunity for my company and for accredited investors. (To learn more about the offering, sign up here.) Throughout this year—and into 2020—you’ll see lots of digital securities offerings. I’ll be sharing some great security token ideas with our subscribers. But it’s important for all investors to do their homework on this market and its opportunities.

The market volatility of 2018 has carried over into 2019. I know it’s frustrating to see prices come down… and to get stopped out of several positions.

But on today’s show I explain why I believe we’re close to a bottom in this market… and why now is the time to be searching for great ideas.

I also share some new details on our security token offering (STO), which will launch in just a couple of weeks… including how much money we’re aiming to raise and the price our security token—the Curzio Equity Owners (CEO)—will start trading at for accredited investors.

You might know I’ve been bearish on Apple over the last couple of months. And just this week, Apple lowered its earnings guidance… causing the stock to drop over 9% in a day. I share my thoughts on the company right now—and tell you how to either trade it or invest for the long term.

I’m heading out to Las Vegas to attend the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) on Monday. It’s an experience like no other… and an amazing resource where I find incredible companies. I’ll report back soon!

First off, I want to wish you all a happy and safe holiday season.

In this week’s podcast, I answer questions on tariffs and 401ks. I also talk about how to handle the current downturn in the equity markets… which will likely continue following the Federal Reserve’s decision this week to continue raising rates next year.

But there are reasons to be optimistic during this brutal downturn… where even industry leaders like Apple, Caterpillar, Goldman Sachs, Schlumberger, Wynn Resorts, Kraft-Heinz, FedEx, AIG, General Mills, Celgene, and Nvidia are down more than 30% year to date.

I break down some of these positives… and highlight one out-of-favor sector that you should be going “all in” on right now. Not only is this sector dirt cheap compared to the rest of the market… but it has an incredible catalyst that will help grow earnings regardless of market conditions.

The market continues to be volatile... and some of the most popular stocks are leading the way down.

I’ve been warning you about one market darling—Apple—for the last couple of months. With shares down over 25%, we’re getting close to a buying opportunity... but one key metric must change before buying shares.

It’s my job to provide you with as many great ideas as I can. If you subscribe to several of my newsletters, today I tell you how to best allocate your portfolio to profit from those ideas.

I also give a quick update about the upcoming Curzio Equity Owners (CEO) security token offering. Along with a special deal for all my Lifetime subscribers.  

It’s one of the most volatile times in stock market history. But volatility is the new normal. So instead of worrying about it, today I show you how to make money from it.  

The Dow Jones index saw 500-point-plus moves almost every day this week. I explain why we’re seeing these huge price swings… and who’s to blame for it.

You know how bullish I am on digital securities and security token offerings (STOs). I share the one market STOs will replace starting next year… (Hint: It’s bigger than the S&P 500, Nasdaq, and Dow combined, in terms of listings.)

I also break down the real estate sector… and highlight one giant mistake I see so many investors make when buying real estate investment trusts (REITs).

I just returned from an incredible trip to New York. After meeting with lawyers and some of my top contacts, I’m more excited than ever about the future of cryptocurrencies… and Curzio Research.

The cryptocurrency market has been getting destroyed lately. I know it has a lot of you worried. But the crash in utility tokens—the most common type of crypto—was inevitable. I warned you about it months ago.

Utility tokens don’t provide investors with ownership (equity). Most of these companies have yet to generate any revenue… and now they are running out of cash.

But this bear market is paving the way for the 2019 security token revolution. These tokens will be similar to stocks. You’ll own an equity stake in the underlying company and generate income in the process. That’s why hundreds of millions of dollars are pouring into this industry right now.

On today’s episode, I explain how to get in front of this potential trillion-dollar market opportunity.

Regular listeners know I’m bullish on uranium. But not all uranium companies are worth investing in. I give you a couple of names I like in the space right now… and one popular name that should be avoided at all costs.  

I also answer a great listener question about streaming platform Roku. The stock pulled back sharply over the past month. We’ll talk about whether you should be buying at current levels… or running for the exits.   

I hope you had an awesome Thanksgiving.

For the holiday, I’ve put together a special Frankly Speaking for you. Instead of answering questions on stocks and the markets, I explain the future of Curzio Research... and the many new benefits we’ll have to offer.  

They include…

Our upcoming security token offering (STO)… An unparalleled investor educational platform where you’ll be able to access original content from some of the best analysts in my network… And new newsletters tailored to your needs—covering topics such as technical trading, income assets, the best Dow Jones components to own each year, and how to invest in distressed debt. And we’ll be hiring some of the best stock analysts in the world to head these newsletters.

It’s an amazing vision that goes back to the traditional roots of the newsletter industry—when it was about educating investors… helping to bridge the gap between Wall Street and Main Street… and placing the individual investor’s interests first.

After listening, you’ll have a better understanding of our long-term goals… and my personal mission to make Curzio Research into one of the largest financial newsletter publishers in the world.   

Apple is down close to 20% from its highs… and one listener wants to know if it’s time to jump back into the tech giant…

So I discuss an industry leader that will let you know exactly when to get back into Apple. It’s also the reason I’ve been cautious on Apple for the last two quarters…

I’ve been talking about how security token offerings (STOs) are going to be one of the biggest growth opportunities in our lifetime… and I highlight numerous institutions that are building platforms and exchanges to take advantage of this incredible growth market.

There are numerous platforms being used to help “Mom and Pop” invest in startup companies.

This includes crowdfunding sites, initial coin offerings (ICOs), and security token offerings (STOs).  

 While some of the startups are promising… these deal structures are a complete joke… and it’s the individual investor who gets screwed…

Today I tell you what to pay attention to if you want to avoid investing in a BS deal.

Are you interested in a newsletter based on macro views? Or one based on Dow Jones stocks? I explain to one subscriber the risks/rewards of creating new products here at Curzio Research.

Finally, I break down why one sector will be the biggest beneficiary of the recent midterm elections. After I share these incredible statistics… you’ll be hard-pressed to disagree.

5G isn’t here yet... But it’s going to be one of the world’s biggest growth trends over the next couple years.

5G is the fifth and next generation of cellular mobile technology, replacing current 4G systems. This new technology promises to put an end to dropped calls and slow downloading speeds, as well as provide a huge tailwind to the Internet of Things (IoT).

Today I explain how the infrastructure will be built out for this incredible technology... And share the companies with exposure to this monster trend that could make you money.

If you have cash you can’t afford to lose, I explain the options for earning a good yield in a low interest rate environment. But remember, the higher the yield, the more risk you must take on.

I’ll also talk more about our upcoming security token offering (STO) and the benefits it offers.

If you’re among the first to this market—the next evolution of cryptocurrencies—it can lead to life-changing returns…

The markets continue to be volatile. But after the recent selloff, I’m seeing an incredible buying opportunity in many industry-leading names...

Including one large-cap tech stock that just reported blockbuster earnings. Today I break down this company and explain why now is a great time to buy. 

It’s great to get questions from Millennials. It’s humbling to know this podcast reaches a wide range of investors... it keeps me on my toes. One of our young listeners asks a great question about warrants. Warrants are how the pros dramatically increase their returns... And I explain how accredited investors can get access to this amazing financial instrument.  

Another listener asks about Curzio’s upcoming security token offering (STO). This is an exciting new venture we’ll be launching over the next few months. Today I explain how accredited—and non-accredited—investors can access our tokens and become equity holders in Curzio Research.

It doesn’t matter how old or young you are... you need some speculative positions in your portfolio. Today I explain how to think about risk as you get older… and why you want to pay attention to risk-adjusted returns. While the trade talks between the U.S. and China have stalled… I answer a great listener question: Should we be worried about China eventually shutting out foreign investors? There are a lot of great buys out there after the market’s recent pullback… But after doing a deep-dive into one of the biggest names in the semiconductor industry… you’ll see why it’s a good idea to avoid this company—even after its recent 40% drop.

The markets are in freefall.

In just two days, the Dow Jones index dropped over 1,200 points. The financial media is talking about how this could be the start of another major market collapse.

But before you sell every stock in your retirement account… please listen to today’s podcast.

I answer several questions from nervous investors… and break down why corrections (just like this) are a normal part of the markets.

I explain why there’s no need to panic or fear that another credit crisis is on the horizon.  

You’ll see how these major market downturns usually lead to incredible buying opportunities. In fact, I highlight dozens of companies in the S&P 500 you can buy right now… that are trading below 12 times forward earnings and growing by more than 20%.  

I also highlight several sectors that are starting to see big inflows as smart money rotates out of high-flying tech stocks. This includes one “hated” sector that could see incredible momentum as interest rates march higher (hint: it’s not financials).  

If you’re worried about your portfolio right now… today’s show is a must.

With the price of Bitcoin down about 65% from its highs, I answer a great question on how to invest in crypto miners today.

It’s critical to know the difference between a crypto investment you buy and hold… and ones to trade in and out of.

Since the Supreme Court opened up the markets for sports gambling in May, many gambling companies have drifted lower. I explain why this is nothing to worry about. This sector will experience incredible growth over the next few years... and I give you several names to pay attention to.

I love constructive criticism… and welcome your ideas. Especially when it comes to our marketing.

But I explain to one subscriber why I’ll never apologize for our advertising… and why we wouldn't be able to grow this business without it.

In fact… We’re about to offer subscribers something extraordinary here at Curzio Research… I’ll provide all the details over the next month.

Note: If you’re a regular listener, you know I’ve been talking a lot lately about the hype surrounding tariffs… But if China does this one thing a small sector will surge—giving you the chance to 10X your investment.

Guys, if you haven’t seen my special presentation yet, then you’re missing out on a rare window of opportunity to profit from Trump’s "trade war" with China.

Click here to view.

I’ve been pounding the table for a while now on the worthlessness of most cryptocurrencies.

A lot of investors are going to get crushed over the next year. The good news is… you don’t have to be one of them. 

The Security and Exchange Commission (SEC) will regulate the industry within the next several months. Today I break down why this is a game changer for the space… and will lead to life-changing opportunities. 

Our goal at Curzio Research is not only to make you money… but also to educate you and make you a better investor. That’s why we do podcasts… and send out tons of other free educational material… which helped a reader you’ll hear about today avoid a catastrophic loss. 

I also answer a great question on the disconnect between gross domestic product (GDP) and stock market returns. Listen as I explain what drives stock prices… and why this driver is likely to continue into 2019.  

Note: If you’ve been listening for any amount of time, you know I’ve also been pounding the table on tariffs… saying the trade war hype is completely overblown.

To set the story straight, I’m hosting a FREE "Trade War"event covering what’s really going on… the likely market effects… and exactly how to position yourself to reap the rewards...

It kicks off this Tuesday Oct. 2. I hope you’ll join me and a special guest for this fantastic event. Sign up on our homepage right here.

The fantastic network we have through this podcast is truly humbling.

Today, we hear from someone who works in the manufacturing industry… and shares a real-time, boots-on-the-ground update on tariffs. I break down the impact they may have on the upcoming earnings season… and what to watch for.

A listener asks how to manage all the great investment ideas he receives. I talk about position sizing and stop losses… and also give a few tips on diversification and keeping your emotions in check.

The crypto market continues to find a bottom. I explain why the majority of cryptos are worthless… but I see a trillion-dollar opportunity coming over the next 12 months.

P.S. As many of you know, I’m deeply invested in the crypto markets... in both public and private ventures. I realize cryptos are getting hammered right now... but I’ve discovered ways to profit in this sector most people just don’t see. I’m talking about 10, 50, even 100 times your money.

It’s Labor Day weekend!

Be sure to spend time with family, drink beers with friends, watch some college football… and don’t talk politics!

And if you’re not hanging with friends and family… you always have my Frankly Speaking podcast to listen to.

I start off today with a question from a friend in the financial services business. He asks what my favorite trade is over the next six months.

It’s a pick I’m sure most of you will ignore… But I explain why this overlooked tech company could rocket higher—even if its earnings aren’t so great over the next two quarters.

For all you sports fans out there, football season is upon us. I give my thoughts on the upcoming season… and whether my beloved Philadelphia Eagles will get back to the Super Bowl. I also share my favorite fantasy football sleepers that you should add to your team right now.

Marijuana stocks have skyrocketed over the past several weeks. If you listened to me back in May… you’re probably sitting on 60%-plus gains right now. But instead of recommending this super-popular sector today… I break down another sector that has much more upside potential in both the short and long terms.

Note: As I mentioned on today’s show, some of the most incredible stock ideas I’ve heard from my guests come out in conversations “off-air.”So I created this to get you in the room while the mics are off. It’s a simple way to share behind-the-scenes intel from my network of insiders. Check it out at www.allstarportfolio.com.

As you know, I’m a huge fan of cryptos… This is a market that offers life-changing returns for investors.

But there’s a dark secret most crypto companies aren’t telling you… one that could wipe out your entire investment.

If you have any money invested in crypto… you need to listen to this.

I also answer a great question about diversification… and why this well-known fundamental strategy should be ignored when investing in small caps.  

And lastly, it’s truly humbling to have so many of you listening to my podcasts and sending your feedback.

I talk about the power of this podcast network… and explain how it’s helped me generate spectacular returns for my followers over the past two decades.

If you’ve followed me for any length of time, you know I’m not a perma-bull or perma-bear.

There are times to be fired up… And there are times to be cautious.

I don’t have a crystal ball… but I do believe earnings expectations are way too high going into next quarter—and as a result, the markets could pull back over the next three to six months. 

Speaking of pullbacks… Nvidia (NVDA) lowered earnings guidance for the first time in almost three years. Shares are off about 5%. I respond to a great listener question asking if it’s time to buy. 

Another listener asks about buy-up-to prices. I explain how to use them… and break down other simple investment strategies that’ll help maximize returns in your portfolio. 

Let’s get started.

It’s a great problem to have. You buy a stock, and it goes up 50%, 60%, 100% or more…

But when should you take profits?

Today, I break down how to manage your winners… And I explain when it’s OK to be “greedy.”

A listener asks when the gold boom is going to take off... No one has a crystal ball, but I explain why so many of the things you hear on TV are dead wrong when it comes to moving gold prices.

I give you one main catalyst to watch for... something the major gold companies must do going forward. It’s been a brutal several years in this sector, but don’t let it frustrate you. When the market turns―and it will―the gains could be life-changing.

Are you interested in working for Curzio Research? I explain what characteristics you must have to make it in this business… and why a typical résumé is a waste of time on my end. If you want to be a great analyst, you can’t afford to miss this.

I’m sensing a lot of nervousness from listener emails. As earnings season continues, we’re seeing large moves—both up and down—after companies report… And this has investors worried about a market pullback.

It’s important to pay attention to investor sentiment…  

What is everyone talking about?

What are investors feeling?

A long-time subscriber asks why I continue to hold a certain position in my Curzio Research Advisory newsletter...

Listen as I give you a peek inside the portfolio and explain why I still like this company.

I also talk about a company that has the worst sentiment I’ve ever seen. I break down why this is a significantly teachable moment—and how to use it to your advantage.

As an investor, it’s crucial you have a plan in place to avoid catastrophic loss that would damage your portfolio… and affect your decision-making as well. I consistently stress the importance of stop losses.

Now, there’s no perfect system. But I give a great example of why I believe you must have a stop loss system in place.

I’m humbled by the diversity of this audience. On today’s show, I answer a fantastic question from a young, 20-something early investor. Whether you’re just beginning your career... or happily retired... you need to understand how to take advantage of the market’s opportunities.

Sometimes it’s about avoiding certain investments.

Facebook (FB) made history after it reported second-quarter earnings yesterday. It was the largest one-day loss in market value ever by a U.S. company.

I’ve been bullish on this incredible company for a long time. Listen as I share my thoughts on the stock... Trust me, you won’t want to miss this teachable moment.

Finally, I break down one of the largest trends in the world. It’s going to affect just about everyone… Today, I tell you how, and give you my favorite tips for investing in it.

I’ve just returned from the Sprott Vancouver Natural Resource Symposium.

I love traveling... doing boots-on-the-ground research.

And this year’s symposium was one for the record books.  

First, I got to fly a plane! It was my first time… and over some of the most beautiful scenery you can imagine.

Second, there was a sea change in sentiment from the audience and CEOs. Attendance was down about 50% from last year... and many CEOs admitted the mining industry has them scratching their heads. I explain why both are signs we’re close to a bottom in mining stocks.

I also provide an update on a huge winner for us… and why this company still has plenty of room to run higher.

Tariffs continue to dominate the headlines… And yes, they can move the markets in the short term... But, unless China makes this one bold trading initiative, they’re not a long-term threat to your portfolio. I go through all of this in today’s show.

You know… tech stocks have been on a great run lately. Yet, one industry leader has lagged behind the group over the past few years. But those days are over; this tech giant is about to see incredible growth in the years ahead, which I’ll explain today.

Oh, and I’m getting ready to fly to Vancouver for the Sprott Natural Resource Symposium. If you’re attending, make sure to come find me and say hello. I love connecting with listeners/subscribers.

In today’s podcast, I take some great listener questions regarding income stocks… including the most common mistakes investors make when looking for the right dividend-paying assets.  

The first company I break down is an old favorite I’m sure most of you are familiar with. It’s trading at a five-year high... pays an above-average yield... and will see incredible growth over the next few years. 

I also analyze another leading income stock—one with a high yield that’s easily covered by cash flow and earnings… and will grow much faster than the overall market long-term.

Before I sign off… I give my latest prediction on the World Cup. This includes an update on my “sleeper team,” which is in a great position to win it all.  

We’re starting to see inflation move higher. It’s still in check, but a shocking number of companies noted higher prices during the previous quarter’s earnings.

Meanwhile, second-quarter earnings are just around the corner… On today’s show I break down exactly what you should be paying attention to.

I also give you three―yes three!―of my favorite sectors to invest in right now.

Plus, I explain why sector downturns can be a positive for the companies that survive.

After all, what doesn’t kill you does make you stronger.

It’s fantastic to see so many great questions coming in from our incredible network of listeners.

A subscriber asks about a big winner in the Curzio Venture Opportunities Portfolio. I give you all the details on why we sold half the position when we were up 100%... and why we’re holding onto the other half.

And if you don’t know what Curzio Venture Opportunities is all about… you’ll learn today why you should become a subscriber right now.

I kick off today’s show by explaining the much-anticipated results of the Fed’s stress test.

I’ll tell you what the biggest banks can do with the billions of dollars they have on their balance sheets... and why it’s a great time to invest in this sector.

But I’ve got lots more to talk about...

As you may know, I’ve been bullish on oil over the last several months. If you’re also bullish on oil… I’ll share the best companies to focus on.

With financial news running 24/7 these days... it can be difficult for investors to separate actual news from “hot air.” I share some of my tricks for sifting through headlines... and finding unfiltered, no B.S. stock ideas…

And for all you sports fans out there... the World Cup is going on now. I give my two cents... and what teams to keep an eye on.

What a week…

One of the biggest deals in history gets approved... Another crypto exchange gets hacked... and I give you a sneak peak inside my Curzio Research Advisory newsletter.

On today’s show, I explain the enormous opportunity AT&T has in front of them... and highlight the risk involved. Hint, it’s not about debt―as the media would have you think.

And don’t panic… but there are more scary headlines in the crypto world. Listen as I explain why the pain is temporary… and regulation is a good thing for this space.

Finally, I break down the spinoff transaction of one of our positions in my Curzio Research Advisory newsletter… and why these can be fantastic opportunities for big future gains.

I’m getting a lot of great questions from you listeners, so keep them coming...

Sometimes, deciding when to abandon one position and add a new one is difficult. This week, I share some ideas on how to better manage your portfolio and protect it from clutter.

I also share my feelings on the Tesla earnings call, where Elon Musk seemed to get annoyed by analysts’ questions. It’s fine that Elon ignored these, but I’m still very cautious about Tesla’s prospects. Today I explain why.

Welcome back to Frankly Speaking.

I have a few large-cap stocks that I’ve been touting for a long time. Today, I give you a rundown of four of my favorites, so you can make the best investment decision possible and continue to earn gains for the long term.

I also discuss the blockchain. This is complicated technology, but I believe it will help shape the future of payment processing. Today, I explain my stance.

Then, listener Jerry wants to know how to invest his money safely, since he’s struggled with this in the past. I explain a strategy for investing his retirement funds so he can sleep easy.

Ignore the crazy headlines…

In this episode, we talk about how to use the media’s “agenda” to pocket huge gains in stocks. Most headlines are exaggerated. They include phrases like “market crash” and “trade wars.”

It doesn’t matter. The market is flat this year and America is not in a trade war with any nation… The media exaggerates these headlines to get page views. That’s how they make money.

Yet these headlines (including tweets from our president) can temporarily influence stocks, causing disconnects between a company’s fundamentals and stock price. Smart investors can use these disconnects to invest in some of the world’s greatest companies – like Amazon or Facebook – at incredible discounts.

Also in this episode, we breakdown the best banking stock to own right now (it’s not JP Morgan)… and why one major airline will see its stock price rise much higher from here.

I can’t stress this enough: I care about and what happens to your portfolio.  

The reason you listen to me, subscribe to the newsletters, and read our research is so you can focus on your life and take advantage of our “stock brains” here at Curzio Research.

In this episode, we talk about what it means to have a stock brain. And we touch on other programs offering financial advice.

There are plenty of people who give out financial advice… but many don’t think about how those calls will impact real people like you.

There are a lot of myths surrounding hedge funds, particularly how much yield they create vs. how much it costs you to invest in them. Today I debunk some of those myths, and remind you of the risks vs. rewards of hedge funds. Remember, the better they do, the more risk they take with your money.

I also discuss some big changes coming to Curzio Research. We’re getting ready to unveil some exciting new products… and share some special offers with our subscribers.

On today’s episode, I also stress the importance of ignoring the market noise. Brexit… tariffs… it doesn’t matter. You can always ride these waves with proper portfolio management.
