Stansberry Investor Hour

In this week's Stansberry Investor Hour, Dan welcomes David Cervantes back to the show. David is the founder of Pinebrook Capital Management – a boutique asset manager focused on asset allocation and managing various systematic trading strategies. David kicks things off by reflecting on the progress that glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) drugs have made since his last discussion at a Stansberry Research Conference several years ago. The drug has branched out of medical use into professional use and for standard weight loss, resulting in the companies he previously discussed to have performed well since then. He then discusses the current market shift from the Magnificent Seven to industrials and the S&P 493. The equal-weighted S&P 500, in particular, is beginning to outperform the Mag Seven. And David shares his thoughts on Blue Owl Capital selling its assets and what that means for the private-equity industry. (0:00) Next, David explains where the money flowing from the Blue Owl sale is coming from and how it's connected to the banking system. If the sell-off negatively impacts banks (and by extension, the labor market comprised of voters), politicians will step in to "fix" things using whatever means necessary. David then gives his thoughts on the U.S. dollar and why he thinks that, despite skepticism and bearish outlooks, it still has what it needs to maintain its current position. And he lists how small-cap stocks have changed in how they operate and their relationship with private equity. (20:44) Finally, David expresses why the labor market is important for the economy and for policy. Discussions he has had with experts indicate that tightening or hardening the labor market will likely result in layoffs and inflation. Following this, David details the areas that he thinks will do well, given the current market rotation and uncertainty in Iran. (41:52)

In this week's Stansberry Investor Hour, Dan welcomes Cullen Roche back to the show. Cullen is the founder of portfolio-management firm Discipline Funds. He is also the author of several books, his most recent one titled Your Perfect Portfolio. Cullen kicks things off with his thoughts on market uncertainty due to the Middle East conflict. He believes that volatile oil prices (and other commodities) will have an impact on the market. Additionally, he says that the U.S.'s attacks could prompt an escalating confrontation with China – where the latter decides to invade Taiwan and seize control of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSM), the world's largest semiconductor producer. And he expresses his desire to see a freer market unhindered by tariffs. (0:00) Next, Cullen delves deep into AI and how it relates to his investing strategies. He states the risk that the technology poses with many companies and sectors pouring money into it. However, he doesn't see that outcome playing out. He then shares how AI has been beneficial for him and says that utilizing it in creative ways can help differentiate your business from the competition. And he gives his outlook on robotics and how that will impact jobs in the future. (20:33) Finally, Cullen details his exchange-traded funds ("ETFs") and what their purposes are. He also shares the time horizons for the ETFs so investors can know how to plan their strategies over those periods. But Cullen does allow flexibility with his funds to ensure that they can evolve and shift to match the changes in the markets and decrease risk. And he compares the pros and cons of using equal-weighted indexes versus market-cap-weighted indexes. (40:00)

In this week's Stansberry Investor Hour, Dan welcomes Greg Diamond back to the show. Greg is the editor of Ten Stock Trader, an advisory focused on trading using market analysis to find the best opportunities based on previous market patterns. Greg kicks things off by sharing his theme for 2026: time. He looked at the inflection points in January and is looking at the upcoming ones in April and May. January saw both technology and financial stocks peak before declining. And while Greg believes these sectors are oversold and will correct themselves slightly, the decline will continue. He says that AI taking over is part of this trend, and unlike other "creative destruction" (like the transition from horse-drawn carriages to automobiles) trends in the past, this one is developing much faster. Greg says looking at time cycles and understanding them is essential to prepare for where the market could be heading next. (0:00) Next, Greg discusses his thoughts on various commodities. He recently traded several positions in silver for wins before the metal's crash and is currently watching to see where it goes from here. He's not as optimistic on oil and natural gas due to the lack of information that investors have outside of OPEC, but he is looking for breakthroughs that could have an impact on the wider market. Copper is another resource that he's interested in, and there are several plays that he believes folks can make. But he says understanding what fuels these movements is more important than why they're occurring. (14:47) Finally, Greg lists his current trades and where he thinks market volatility is heading. He can't delve too deeply to be fair to his subscribers, but he's preparing to be extremely aggressive in his trades over the next few months. Greg then states that he does his best trading when he ignores what everyone else is saying. He'd rather focus on his monitors and charts than allow himself to be persuaded by outside voices.

Steve Burns, trader and founder of New Trader U, explains trading as mathematical and systematic. He highlights risk-to-reward and the 2:1 rule, why win rates around 40–50% can still work, and how loss size and position sizing determine long-term profitability. He also covers volatility filters, entry signals like EMA crossovers, and building a disciplined, low-frequency edge in markets.

In this week's Stansberry Investor Hour, Dan and Corey welcome Andy Swan to the show. Andy is the co-founder of LikeFolio, a financial-technology company focused on providing its clients with actionable research based on consumer-driven data. He has a free report focused on a new wave of health care and AI that can inform investors of how to best prepare before it arrives. You can download the report here. Andy kicks things off by sharing how LikeFolio evolved from being designed to create "like" portfolios for social media users based on the companies they and their friends are interested in to being geared toward investors and traders. He says that the data from social media and other publicly available sources is very powerful because it can show where consumer sentiment is for a product and can help estimate sales for a product before an earnings report is released. Andy then provides some of his background in trading, along with his rules for investing. Next, Andy states that investors need to have some guardrails in place to protect their capital when investing. However, he believes that there's no "one size fits all" method and that investors need to ensure that the rules they establish match their approach. Andy switches the topic to the ease and accessibility of trading with apps like Robinhood. But he warns users to beware leveraged exchange-traded funds – while they sound appealing because of the potential to triple gains, "poisonous" stocks in a fund could send you tumbling. He then gives his thoughts on how AI is changing the world and what he thinks is the next step in its development. Finally, Andy discusses how one company is currently hated due to its financials, but according to his data, consumers are gravitating toward it. He compares it with other stocks that lost money early on but turned into behemoths in today's market due to new customers consistently using their products. This company could follow in their steps based on his data. And Andy provides his thoughts on the type of mentality to have as an investor.

Dave Lashmet, editor who hunts small‑cap biopharma winners, breaks down three drug monopolies built for massive upside. He highlights a GLP‑1 weight‑loss pill that doubles as diabetes therapy. He explains a fatty‑liver pill whose market is protected by liver irreplaceability. He profiles an MC4R hunger‑switch therapy that could disrupt current treatments.

Jeff Clark, options trader and newsletter editor with decades of experience, breaks down low-risk options playbooks. He discusses discipline, position sizing, and when to lock in gains. He explains using options for income, short-term swings, and avoiding common traps like bottom-fishing.

In this week's Stansberry Investor Hour, Dan and Corey welcome Josh Young to the show. Josh is the founder of Bison Interests and writer of the Bison Insights newsletter on Substack. Josh specializes in focusing on the best opportunities in the oil and gas industry. Josh kicks things off by presenting his evaluations on the current landscape for energy stocks. He sees increasing geopolitical risk in the larger oil and gas companies. He also says that many of them have lost a lot of value as well. He then discusses the two biggest global risks in the oil and gas sector that he cautions investors to stay away from. Despite these challenges, Josh says that smaller oil and gas producers are where he sees the best opportunity in the sector. (0:00) Next, Josh shares why he chose oil and gas as his primary investment focus. He also reflects on the risks and mistakes that led him to the successes that he has today. Josh follows that up by addressing how technological advancements have contributed to the decrease in the oil-rig count. However, despite this appearing to be a negative scenario, Josh says that tailwinds are emerging from production going down. And he believes that oil production is going to be a critical topic during the 2028 presidential election, if not sooner. (17:22) Finally, Josh goes into depth on a company that he's fond of. He also gives his thoughts on the future of oil and where he thinks certain subsectors could grow, especially with regard to demand. But he stresses that he's not a universal commodity bull and says there's one commodity that he's less optimistic about. However, investors should still be careful overall about where they put their money. (42:17)

Alan Gula, senior analyst and Investment Committee member known for portfolio analysis, outlines three market worries: low cash, tight credit spreads, and high-beta leadership. He reviews gold’s secular bull behavior and drawdowns. He explains why free-cash-flow yield matters for growth firms and highlights defensive diversification to withstand market drawdowns.

In this week's Stansberry Investor Hour, Dan welcomes Brad Thomas back to the show. Brad is an editor at our corporate affiliate Wide Moat Research. Brad kicks things off by stating why he thinks now is a great time to invest in real estate investment trusts ("REITs"). He shares a chart of different asset classes going back to 2010 to show how many times REITs were a leading sector. He then discusses the Federal Reserve, interest rates, and why he isn't worried about their impact on REITs in the long term. Additionally, he talks about how the growing "silver tsunami" is going to create a surge in REITs. (0:00) Next, Brad details one company primed to meet the silver tsunami demand. It owns its own buildings and rents off the land while possessing a strong balance sheet. Brad then shares his thoughts on data-center REITs and his previous recommendations in that subsector. He also says that more REITs outside of data centers are increasing their investing in AI. But with energy bottlenecks and other factors, the one concern that investors could have is vacant data centers. (15:44) Finally, Brad mentions a sector that's boring yet is stable and provides predictable dividends. He provides an example with one company that had a slowdown due to COVID-19 but is starting to come back from the rough times. And he emphasizes Wide Moat Research's goal of meeting with management teams to see what they do for investors. (35:49)
