There are many types of investors out there. One of the most common is "do it yourselfers." These folks typically subscribe to multiple investment newsletters and watch various financial news outlets to make their own investment decisions and build their own portfolios. It's smart to get your news from a variety of sources. But it can get overwhelming – especially in a world with no shortage of bad news. So on this episode of Making Money With Matt McCall, Matt invited Josh Brown to sit down and talk about the current state of the market. During a volatile time in the world, Josh shares his views on the nature of long-term investing in the face of uncertainty.

International stocks have been underperforming U.S. stocks for roughly 10 years now. And it looks like that will remain the case heading into the end of 2023. How long will investors be able to get away with overallocating in U.S. stocks? Will 2024 be another year of ignored global markets? Those are the questions Matt tackles on this episode of Making Money With Matt McCall with the help of his longtime friend Meb Faber. Most investors are extremely underweight emerging markets right now due to the outperformance of U.S. stocks. But just like any stock market cycle, this trend will eventually end. There will be years in which U.S. stocks underperform. According to Meb, that could be sooner rather than later. He shares various numbers and valuations to prove his point. And while regular readers know Matt remains bullish on the market – especially U.S. stocks – he has to agree with Meb's analysis. ➡️ Watch Here

That's why on this episode of Making Money With Matt McCall, Matt welcomes Grant Williams to the show to shed some light on the big-picture view of the world and the stock market. Matt and Grant jump right into a discussion of the bond market. The yield on the 10-year Treasury recently hit a decade high.

It has almost been a full year since the bull market began on October 13, 2022. Yet there are still those who believe this is nothing more than a bear market rally. Matt isn't part of that bearish crowd. He believes this is the start of a longer-term bull market. And on this episode of Making Money With Matt McCall, he dives into the yearlong rally. Matt breaks down the leaders and laggards and discusses how recent trading compares with past bull markets. Matt spent the past couple weeks traveling outside the country and came back to a wild market. Stocks hit a four-month low, interest rates surged to their highest level in decades, and geopolitical conflict broke out between Israel and Hamas. But in the face of a new war and rising oil prices, the market has bounced off an important support level and yields have started to pull back from their highs. Sometimes the market doesn't make any sense. Or does it really make perfect sense? ➡️ Watch Here In-person tickets for the Stansberry Conference event have completely sold out.

And one with a lot of potential is "alternative investments." On this episode of Making Money With Matt McCall, Matt dives into this space with the help of Anthony Zhang.

Everything is a debate these days. Folks argue whether we're in a bull market or a bear market... who should become the next president... and if the housing market is really in a "bubble." It's hard to know anything for sure when the media is constantly spinning "doom and gloom" headlines. On this episode of Making Money With Matt McCall, Matt attempts to answer some of these questions. And he zeroes in on the debate surrounding the housing market. The number of headlines that state the U.S. is in the midst of a mid-2000s-style housing bubble have been increasing daily. That makes sense given the media's knack for dramatics. However, the so-called "experts" are missing a few facts. Matt dives into the numbers and shares some statistics you probably haven't seen yet.

Matt is an optimist. But that doesn't mean he blatantly ignores what's going on around him – whether it's high interest rates or conflicts abroad. He just tends to see the world and the market through a glass that's half full. That viewpoint can oftentimes put him at odds with the masses. But he loves being a contrarian. And he isn't alone. On this episode of Making Money With Matt McCall, Matt invites another contrarian on the show – his colleague Brett Eversole. Brett joins Matt for the third time to break down the market and discuss what they believe is coming. Right now, they both believe that we're at the beginning of a great new bull market.

But Brett and Matt have plenty of stats to help back up their bullish claim. And they also dive into all the exciting things that are propelling stocks forward today and for the future. ➡️ Watch Here Join Matt and Brett next week – on Tuesday, September 12 at 8 p.m. ET – in an urgent market briefing about the group of stocks whose coming momentum could make this year's artificial intelligence frenzy pale in comparison.

With cooler days and nights ahead of us, energy prices are top of mind for folks. So on this episode of Making Money With Matt Call, Matt sits down with an energy-industry CEO to get his take on the current state of the U.S. oil and gas market. The consumption of solar energy in the U.S. has doubled over the past three years. But it still only accounts for 2% of the country's total energy consumption. That means we have a long way to go to meet the government's lofty 2050 clean energy goals. And Matt and his guest explain why we won't be able to get there without dirty energies like oil and gas. ➡️ Watch Here

Stocks have been on a tear so far in 2023. But if you can believe it, there's one area of the stock market that has been even more popular – bonds. Matt doesn't talk about this market often, but the action he has seen there recently is something that shouldn't be ignored. So on this episode of Making Money With Matt McCall, Matt dives into bonds. But a discussion of the bond market wouldn't be complete without also touching on interest rates. With rates at levels not seen in years, bond funds are now trading at or near multiyear lows. Yet many investors are actually "overweight" in this asset class. Not only does this create opportunity... It also tells us a lot about where stocks are headed in the future. ➡️ Watch Here

Last weekend, Matt attended an energy summit in California. He had a great time and heard from a lot of great speakers.

Matt sat down one-on-one with Perry to discuss the energy space and is sharing his interview on this episode of Making Money With Matt McCall.

So whether you're against nuclear energy, for it, or on the fence... it's not something you should be ignoring. ➡️ Watch Here

It was less than a month ago that many of the major stock indexes were hitting 52-week highs. Interest rates started rallying as a result. And that put pressure on stocks.

Or is it simply a necessary and normal period of weakness that's common in a new bull market? Matt highlights 15 niche sector exchange-traded funds ("ETFs") that have pulled back from their recent breakouts and are now sitting on support levels. That means that if stocks restart their rally, these ETFs should be ready to outperform. Then, Matt shares his thoughts on Nvidia's (NVDA) upcoming earnings report and this week's annual Federal Reserve meeting in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. And finally... he poses a question many people might dread: Are the government-enforced COVID-19 shutdowns about to come back? ➡️ Watch Here
