Dan and Corey kick off the show by giving a sneak peek at their list of 10 things that would surprise investors in 2024 and where they predict the markets are headed. Specifically, they discuss the unassailable Magnificent Seven – which are "priced for more than perfection" – and why the high valuations aren't sustainable. While the other "Unmagnificent 493" stocks in the S&P 500 Index are essentially flat and it's "still a bear market for everything else," the Magnificent Seven have screamed higher. Dan warns that they're not safe. Afterward, Jared joins the conversation and gives some tips on how to make finance less stressful.

The market always wins; you're investing in what I call "dead money," he states. Then, Marc explores 2023 being a difficult year for bearish investors, the likelihood of a recession, and how artificial intelligence ("AI") has led to unprecedented productivity enhancements. "That's where this whole convergence of technology, data, and machine learning comes in. I think it's going to unleash unbelievable advances in medicine, data analytics for retail, and self-driving cars eventually," he asserts. Finally, Marc shares his thought

(16:21) He believes the current challenges in the Treasury market as well as hedge funds using leverage to accumulate positions will ultimately drive gold prices to new heights.

But first, Dan and Corey discuss the evolving landscape of the bond market, the opportunity in Treasury bills, and the potential impact of high bond yields on the broader investment world. Corey warns... Take advantage of it now, because if the economy goes in the crapper in the future, the [bond] rates are going to go down when the Fed cuts [interest] rates. Mike then joins the conversation to delve into the world of passive investing, which involves never transacting and only ever holding assets. This leads to a strategy of mindless buying: [The stock market is] marching upwards, being led by a very few number of extremely large-cap stocks that have relatively limited growth prospects...

(20:22) Kuppy also gives his take on the overall economy, addressing sectors with inflationary correlations.

On this week's Stansberry Investor Hour, Dan and Corey are joined by two of their Stansberry Research colleagues, Matt McCall and Brett Eversole. But first, Dan and Corey kick off the podcast by discussing three famous investors who all made headlines recently for giving negative future market outlooks.  Brett and Matt join the conversation by talking about why they're bullish right now. Matt notes that the reason 2022 was so brutal for investors was because of the Federal Reserve rapidly raising interest rates. While one more small rate hike before the year's end is possible, Matt still thinks the rate cycle is nearly over. This would, in turn, be good for equities and move the markets higher. Then, Brett shares some of his AI-industry favorites... and notes that the market as a whole has the potential to massively increase productivity, leading to increased margins. Specifically, Brett believes there's a structural change happening in the companies that make up the stock market. Finally, Brett and Matt talk

He recalls Wall Street's historical inclination toward upfront software-purchase models, which encompassed future maintenanc

Patrick believes that a recession would give them the chance to appreciate significantly in the coming years. (19:40) With regards to the role of the U.S. dollar as a global reserve currency, Patrick raises concerns about the dollar being weaponized for political agendas. This would prompt investors to seek refuge in gold and silver. Yip also delves into the nuances of choosing between coin
