This week, a $10 billion deal was announced between major gold producers. To go over the details of this mega-merger, I welcome back Marin Katusa, founder and CEO of Katusa Research and one of the biggest industry insiders in the space. We also discuss the significant implications this deal will have on segments within the gold sector… including junior miners, mid-tier miners, and royalty companies. Next week I’ll be speaking at the . Marin explains how you can attend this incredible event for free. And in my educational segment [53:29], I give you even more detail on the biggest trends I saw at CES.

I’m having a great time at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES). There couldn’t be a better time to be here, after the market has pulled back significantly from its highs. I’m seeing a lot of great opportunities in individual companies that are growing earnings and revenue… but their stock prices are down over 25%. And even though I’m on the road, I have an amazing guest for you today. I welcome Robin Sosnow to the podcast for the first time.

To kick off the New Year, I’m doing something a little different with today’s podcast. I’ve got a jam-packed monologue where I break down some of the biggest events in 2018. Yes, you can prepare yourself for one of my traditional rants… I also talk about what you can expect from Curzio Research in 2019. In just a couple of weeks, we’re launching the first ever security token offering (STO) in the financial publishing industry. The Curzio Equity Owners (CEO) token will offer accredited investors an equity stake in Curzio Research… plus a dividend.   I’ll be sharing lots more details with you as our launch date approaches… including the amount we’re looking to raise, special discounts that’ll be offered to our subscribers, our incredible launch partners, and our plan to grow Curzio Research into an industry giant.    More importantly, I explain why this deal is incredibly important to you… and the tens of millions of financial newsletter subscribers around the world.

Volatility can be hard to stomach. Right now, we’re seeing 300 point moves in the Dow Jones index on daily basis… and some of the greatest companies in the world are down more than 30% from their highs.    During volatile markets, it’s vital to have tools in place to lower your overall risk. After all, the last thing you want is to take a 70% loss on any position. And by limiting your losses, you have some dry powder to buy incredible names at significant discounts. In this special podcast, I break down one of the most important lessons in investing—risk management. Few people know more about this topic than Dr. Richard Smith, founder and CEO of TradeSmith.

In my educational segment [53:07], I break down my trip to the Silver & Gold Summit in San Francisco. I’ll give you the scoop on my one-on-one meetings with industry legends… a huge catalyst that could push mining stocks up tremendously in the short term... and some of my favorite stock ideas in this beat-up space.

Did you make it through the market crash last week? All it takes is a few volatile days… then crazy headlines start predicting the market will crash another 40%... or another credit crisis. But the recent pullback is just that—a pullback… A healthy correction… A normal part of the markets for over a century. And when you look at the underlying fundamentals... the market isn’t expensive. In fact, a lot of names are screaming buys.   My guest today is Jay Martin, president and CEO of (CHI)... home to some of the best investment conferences in North America. CHI made its name as the leader in hosting the best junior mining conferences in Canada. Over the past few years, it branched out to hosting conferences in other sectors, including technology, innovation, and alternative investments.  Jay highlights some incredible early-stage trends that should be on everyone’s radar. And he gives you all the details about CHI… including the upcoming Silver and Gold Summit, October 28–29 in San Francisco. Not only will I b

Earnings season kicks off next week… So I invited John Petrides of back today to tell us what to expect. I love having John on the show because of his wealth of knowledge across many different sectors. He’s one of the best analysts I know when it comes to breaking down earnings from macro and micro perspectives. And we’re likely to see incredible volatility in many stocks during the season. Since last quarter, we’ve seen an uptick in energy prices and wages—two of the biggest costs for companies. The U.S. dollar has also run higher, which could cut into profits for companies that do business overseas. And increased tensions between the U.S. and China on trade could cause further inflationary headwinds. These risks create a huge layer of uncertainty for management teams… which could lead to less-than-optimistic forecasts when they report earnings results over the next few weeks. And earnings forecasts (guidance) are what drives stock prices. Today, John shares a list of stocks every investor should pay close

I’ve got a very special guest for you today. It’s his first appearance on this podcast, and I’m truly honored to have him on. Over the past 30 years, he’s made a small fortune financing, creating, and selling junior mining companies. His name is Dennis Higgs. And he’s a legend in the resource sector. If you’ve never heard of him, I’m not surprised. He avoids the media and rarely does interviews at all. He’d rather let his record speak for him. But today, Dennis breaks his silence to talk about the gold industry… where prices are headed… and the catalysts that will push it to those levels over the next six to 12 months.  More importantly, Dennis shares his new venture with us. It’s a junior mining company that’s using new technology to find high-grade gold deposits in the world’s biggest gold district. He’s chairman and director of this company—where he and other insiders own a huge 36% stake. Then, in my educational segment [41:24] I break down the latest news on Tesla. I’m not going to tell you where the sto

On today’s podcast, I welcome back hedge fund veteran Mike Alkin to talk about this incredible bull market... some concerns that could derail it... and why Tesla could pull back considerably over the next three to six months. You may know Mike as editor of here at Curzio Research and host of the fantastic Monday podcast, Talking Stocks Over a Beer. But Mike's also a forensic accountant. His reasons for shorting Tesla go beyond what you’ll read in mainstream media… making this interview a must-listen. In my educational segment [1:00:35], I talk about a country that’s on my radar for the first time in over 10 years. It’s dirt cheap and starting to see huge growth—evident in an important economic indicator, which I'll explain today—along with how to make money from it. Note: What’s going on between the U.S. and China is one of the most important stories in the world right now—especially for investors. Next week, you're invited to take part in a free event covering the ins and outs of what’s going on… the effect

Kim also reveals some of his favorite investment ideas. This includes three international stock picks U.S. investors can add to their portfolio today. (These names were even new to me!)     Then in my educational segment [52:27], I break down the one “Trump Card” China holds that could crush the U.S. when it comes to tariffs. If China takes this initiative… one small

Please be safe! Today I welcome back Chris Versace, co-founder and chief investment officer of Tematica Research. He’s an amazing stock analyst with over 20 years of experience.
