12-3-25 Overbought vs Oversold: The Big AI Stock Shakeout | Before the Bell
The Real Investment Show Podcast
AI stocks inside the Mag-7 are no longer moving in unison. We’re now seeing a clear split between the names that are extremely overbought and those entering oversold, opportunity-driven territory. Apple ($AAPL) ripped to all-time highs and is now heavily deviated from its long-term means — historically a tough level to sustain. Google ($GOOGL) has been the recent “darling,” but it remains extremely overbought and is beginning an early correction phase. We rebalanced our Google position back to target last week based on that setup. On the other side of the spectrum, Nvidia ($NVDA) has...

12-2-25 Markets Base Up as Bitcoin Builds a Bottom | Before the Bell
The Real Investment Show Podcast
Markets kicked off the first trading week of December with a weak open but rallied off the lows. Despite some early sloppiness, the major indices remain well-above their 100-day moving average, and the MACD Buy signal remains intact. Momentum is rebuilding, and a basing pattern appears to be forming across the board, including the NASDAQ. The bigger headline today is Bitcoin. After a sharp pullback and several weeks of ETF outflows, Bitcoin is now oversold and flashing renewed buy-signal conditions. ETF inflows have returned, options activity is picking up on the long side, and the price...

12-1-25 Bear Markets Are a Good Thing
The Real Investment Show Podcast
Most investors fear bear markets—but history shows they play a critical role in building future returns. In this episode, Lance Roberts explains why market declines are not only normal, but necessary for long-term financial success. We break down how bear markets reset valuations, reduce speculation, improve forward returns, and provide disciplined investors with better long-term outcomes. Instead of focusing on predictions, we focus on the importance of managing risk, controlling emotions, and understanding how full market cycles work. 0:00 - INTRO 0:19 - Manage Portfolios for Markets, not...

12-1-25 The Problem With Waiting for Corrections | Before the Bell
The Real Investment Show Podcast
Should you wait for a 5% correction before putting money to work? In today’s pre-market update, Lance Roberts explains why waiting for the “perfect pullback” is one of the most costly mistakes investors make. A 5% correction is normal volatility—it happens once or twice a year. Even 10% corrections occur regularly. This year alone, markets already saw a near-20% pullback in April and a 5% dip in early November. If you’re always waiting for the next pullback, your investment window becomes too narrow—and you risk missing the bulk of the market’s gains. Lance walks through...

11-27-25 Thanksgiving Day Special - Market Cycles, Tariff Checks, & 50-Year Mortgages
The Real Investment Show Podcast
Full market cycles matter more today than at any point in the last 15 years. Lance Roberts breaks down why valuations, history, and market structure all point to a simple truth: Every bull market is only half the story. The other half is the bear. Lance's approach isn’t bullish or bearish. It’s risk-focused. Your job as an investor isn’t to predict the next crash—it’s to avoid catastrophic losses that erase years of gains during the completion of a full market cycle. Lance and Danny Ratliff ponder Tariff Rebates and 50-year mortgages, and Lance and Michael Lebowitz pontificate...

11-26-25 Confidence, Chaos & The K-Shaped Economy — Peter Atwater Explains What’s Coming
The Real Investment Show Podcast
Peter Atwater, one of the leading voices on confidence-driven behavior in markets and society, joins Lance Roberts to share how certainty, control, and herd mentality shape every major trend investors face today. Lance and Peter discuss The Confidence Map, why people behave differently when they’re in the “comfort zone” versus the “stress center,” and how these shifts explain the rise of speculative investing, the bifurcated K-shaped economy, and the growing disconnect between Wall Street and Main Street. Atwater explores how consumer confidence is driving AI enthusiasm, why the...

We cover everything from repo markets, ETFs, and the Buffett Indicator to the rise of passive investing and why sovereign nations are quietly buying gold.
