Wall Street Unplugged - What's Really Moving These Markets

Summer is here—which means the kids are home from school all day. I hope you all have some fun plans to look forward to. Unfortunately, it won’t be a good summer for stocks. In fact, I expect a lot of pain over the next 18 months. Guys, this might be the most important podcast you listen to all year. I break down how a few large stocks are propping up the entire market… why we could see a big selloff following the debt ceiling deal… and a major factor that’s about to crush consumer spending. We’ve dealt with debt ceiling issues before… but...

How to profit from the debt ceiling drama

Wall Street Unplugged - What's Really Moving These Markets

It’s been an exciting couple of weeks for the sports world. I start today’s show with a quick recap of the most thrilling moments from the NHL and NBA playoffs. The market headlines are currently dominated by several risks—including the debt ceiling debate… the Fed’s plan for interest rates… and the stubbornly high inflation. Yet, for some reason, the TV pundits are calling for the next bull market. I explain the truth about the debt ceiling negotiations… and how to use the resulting market volatility to your advantage. Next, I break down the massive...

Don’t be fooled… Inflation is NOT coming down

Wall Street Unplugged - What's Really Moving These Markets

Between the debt ceiling drama… interest rate hikes… inflation and stagflation… and mixed economic signals… it’s hard to make sense of all the chaos right now. The media says inflation is coming down… But I have a quick rant about why you shouldn’t be fooled by the latest economic data—or the talking heads. I also explain why it’s insane for anyone to expect a rate cut this year. Next, I break down the government’s crazy spending spree… and why it’s going to be a big problem going forward, especially for the U.S. dollar. The latest round of...

The biggest mistake the Fed can make right now

Wall Street Unplugged - What's Really Moving These Markets

I start today’s show with a rant on my experience building a home… from paying the bills before my family can even move in… to workers smoking in the house… to a shower leaking through the ceiling… and getting ripped off on allowances. Housing demand remains strong—for now. I explain why I expect the outlook for homebuilders to turn ugly over the next 12 months. By the time you listen to this episode, the latest Consumer Price Index (CPI) data will be out. I break down why the Fed can’t lower interest rates until it gets inflation under control… and why a...

How much longer will banks lie to us?

Wall Street Unplugged - What's Really Moving These Markets

Prepare yourself… I have a couple of rants to get off my chest today. I’m recording this podcast before today’s Fed meeting, where central bankers are expected to raise interest rates by 25 basis points, then hint at pausing rate hikes. I cut through the B.S. and explain why an end to rate hikes won’t save us now. The biggest story in the market right now is the banking crisis. I share some quotes that show how bank CEOs have been lying through their teeth about the state of the banking sector—including JPMorgan’s Jamie Dimon. The whole thing reminds me...

Is the U.K. retaliating against the U.S.?

Wall Street Unplugged - What's Really Moving These Markets

My wife and I recently celebrated our 15-year anniversary… and it’s incredible to think about the changes we’ve gone through. I share some advice for younger listeners about life and marriage. We’re in the heart of earnings season—and a ton of big names are reporting this week. I explain why McDonald’s (MCD) and PepsiCo (PEP) are trading near 52-week highs… and why you shouldn't expect prices on your favorite products to come down anytime soon. The Fed is set to hike interest rates next week and many investors think it will be the last time—but I...

Tech companies are making a massive mistake

Wall Street Unplugged - What's Really Moving These Markets

I start today’s show with a quick story about a charity tournament I recently played in… that shows how Florida has managed to ruin golf! Moving on to the markets… Big banks are reporting incredible numbers in spite of last month’s bank crisis… I question why banks don’t face the same criticism as oil companies when they make massive profits off of struggling consumers. I also break down how Big Tech is driving the market rally—by making a massive mistake. Gold is surging towards new highs—but this isn’t a positive sign for the world’s...

The global revolt against the U.S. dollar

The truth behind the government’s crypto crackdown

Wall Street Unplugged - What's Really Moving These Markets

Today’s episode of Wall Street Unplugged is sponsored by Masterworks.com, which gives individual investors access to elite blue-chip art. With inflation on the rise, more and more investors are looking for alternative assets—those proven to hold their value... And fine art has a better track record during high inflation than both the S&P 500 and gold—returning 23% on average vs. 3.8% and 0.2%, respectively. For a limited time, Wall Street Unplugged listeners can skip the art auction waitlist—and get immediate access to what the Wall Street Journal calls one of the “hottest...

Why the ‘drop’ in home prices won’t bring down inflation

Wall Street Unplugged - What's Really Moving These Markets

It’s great to be back after a chaotic week of moving into my new house… Today’s podcast starts with a rant about lazy work ethic here in Florida. I share my recent experience trying to get my TVs hooked up in my new place. I know it sounds petty… but I plan to get a little revenge on the company that was supposed to help me. Turning to the markets… stocks are struggling to find a direction following the recent banking crisis. I highlight crypto’s incredible performance (even as regulators target the sector)... and the problems that will result from the...
