10-minute contrarian by VP

Last Updated: April 29, 2026
Your gateway drug into the world of contrarian and alternative investing.
Ep252: HUGE Gold and Silver News
Published:

Especially gold.  Something is brewing behind the scenes, and nobody, not even the gold news outlets have really picked up on it yet.  Global currency reset could be coming sooner than most people think, and the writing is on the wall more now than it has ever been.

Ep251: Our 5 Best Phrases
Published:

Do not sleep on this episode.  It looks like a novelty episode at first glance, but it is anything but.  Why do we say the things we say on this show?  Why do we repeat them so often?  There are very clear psychological reasons behind all of them, and if you don't know them or don't understand them, then you're not going to make it.

Ep250: The BASE Ecosystem
Published:

Coinbase is obviously going to be a big if not THE big player in the crypto space going forward.  Getting in early on the pieces they're going to use will be extremely lucrative, as long as they stick around and become the marketplaces, lending platforms, and AI launchpads Coinbase uses.  So who are those places right now as we speak?  You really should be aware of them.

Ep249: Biggest BTC News of the Year
Published:

Nobody realizes or understands the impact of what's going on right now with the Morgan Stanley Bitcoin ETF.  It's not just another Bitcoin ETF in the US.  It's a complete paradigm shift the smart money just made while the dumb money is in shambles.  You're not bullish enough.

Ep248: If $200 Oil
Published:

It sounds insane, and it might very well be, but if it was ever going to happen, now would be the time.  So it never hurts to have a game plan in place because price spikes happen VERY QUICKLY, so this could be a generational opportunity in many ways, and you need to have a plan in place.  VP goes over 5 different scenarios depending on what you're currently holding, and how to approach each one.

Ep247: Navigating 2 Outcomes
Published:

Could the panicked masses actually be right about this one?  Or will history repeat itself once again?  We should be ready for either scenario, but if you're not, understand how this war could go one of two very different directions, and how to prepare for each one.

Ep246: Latin America Pt 2 - South
Published:

You've been asking for it, it's time to go over every Latin country in South America, seen through the eyes of somebody who has barely been there!  A lot of Westerners are looking for a proper Plan B, but have no idea where to start.  VP does his best to give you the straight beef on what to expect as far as weather, food, and dating go in as many countries as we can cover.

Ep245: The Wartime Economy
Published:

It's hard to know how severe these global conflicts are compared to where they might be in the future.  But the chances of escalation and further conflict is huge.  How to prepare?  How to invest?  Fortunes have been made here, but you need to know what to do, where to go, and how to behave differently than your fellow man.

Ep244: What, Me Worry?
Published:

People are freaking out these days, and they're about to freak out even more.  We are in the early days of the 4th Turning, and you aint seen nothing yet.  If you're ever going to make good decisions in a time of crisis, you need to set the table NOW so these events don't affect you much, and you can keep your heads about you when it comes time to make critical moves.  I do feel like I've done a good job of this, and I share how I've done it, here in Episode 244.

Ep243: Generational Crypto Stocks
Published:

A lot of your best opportunities to cash in huge in the crypto market could very well be on the stock market itself for a number of reasons.  If you can get in early, big money can more easily follow you compared to the blockchain.  And have you seen these prices??

Ep242: Bear Market Psychology
Published:

Whether it's a sudden wild move downward, or a full on bear cycle, even real Contrarians make the same mistakes rank amateurs do.  It's time to remind ourselves what we're really doing here, by going over three of the most classic mistakes we still fall for.

Ep241: What Just Happened, and What I Bought
Published:

We just experienced one of the most ridiculous price drops in history this past week.  It would be criminal not to break it all down, so we will in the first half of Episode 241, then talk about a stock I bought earlier in the week, and why I did it.  There is a pretty wild bonus to be had with this one in particular.

Ep240: The Great Big Energy Episode
Published:

Strap in Contrarians, we have a monster on our hands today.  The world has already signaled how important energy will be in the next decade, starting now.  The demand is insatiable, and the supply often is not.  This went from a relatively sleepy and frustrating sector, to the most obvious move on the board.  We're talking multiple silver scenarios yet to come here, it's far from too late. We break down the big picture, and the individual case for 7 different sectors in a mammoth Episode 240.

Ep239: Crypto Predictions 2026
Published:

Where is the best value on the entire board in 2026?  You could easily argue it's in the crypto space.  But what should this year look like for Bitcoin and blockchain overall?  What are the biggest drivers we need to be paying attention to?  All of this, and VP's Bitcoin 2026 prediction can be found right here in Episode 239.

Ep238: Gold and Silver Predictions 2026
Published:

What a difference a year makes, no?  The secret we knew for years about gold and silver is finally out in the open now, and the investment world is quickly figuring it out right in front of our eyes.  What does this do for the price in 2026, and the prospects going forward?  Definitely don't miss this one.

Ep237: The Big Macro Episode 2026
Published:

It's already heating up out there.  2026 promises to be anything but boring, and if we are going to invest wisely we need to understand one very big concept throughout this entire year, along with who and what steers the macroeconomic ship nowadays.  Plus, our predictions for the S&P 500 and the USD.  Don't miss out!

Ep236: 2025 Recap Episode
Published:

What...a...freaking...YEAR contrarians!!  I'm so thrilled all of you made gobs of money this year, but the most important thing to consider.......is how I did on my 2025 predictions back in January!!  We recap the good, and the slightly bad.  Because in 2025, there just wasn't much ugly to be found.

Ep235: Checking In On Cardano
Published:

Real ones only for this episode.  I've been a Cardano (ADA) holder for about 5 years now, and we haven't discussed it on its own in a while.  It's time we did.  People don't think it has grown much or become very relevant in the overall blockchain landscape.  If they only knew the truth...

Ep234: Index Funds? Really??
Published:

There's a reason why only 1% of money managers can beat the S&P 500 every year.  And the reason is probably not what you expect.  Truth is, these things are valuable, and not only should we be grateful they exist, but we should be setting ourselves up to benefit from them for the next three decades of our existence.  But as always, with us Contrarians, there are ways to make them even more lucrative.  Lots more.

Ep233: The Next Big Bank
Published:

How would you like to get in early to the future of BANKING at an early stage?  This opportunity wasn't available to our parents, grandparents, or even our great-grandparents, but not only is it available to us -- it's on sale!  I think if more people knew what Coinbase actually does and where it already sits on the global scale after only 12 years of existence, they would hesitate to grab as much as they can now.

Ep232: Spiders Everywhere!
Published:

I almost don't want to give these strategies away.  But if you're okay slowing things down for an episode while crypto and commodities go crazy, I will show you a few really great things you can do with SPDR ETFs to give yourself an even BIGGER edge in investing than you already have by listening to this fine podcast.

Ep231: The Sickest Value Out There Right Now
Published:

Spoiler Alert: It's Bitcoin Treasury Companies.  If you're laughing, just know it's the Big Banks who are making you laugh, this is not good.  If you invest in these at depressed prices and you lose, you lose, so what?  If you win, you just invested in the next BlackRock at a penny on the dollar.  VP explains.

Ep230: Mega-Bullish Bitcoin
Published:

2025 will go down as the biggest year in Bitcoin's history since its inception.  "But how can this be? Price has basically broken even!!"  It's because you don't look at things the right way.  I will explain.  You're going to want to hear this, even if you were already aware.

Ep229: So.....Recession??
Published:

The crypto market took a dump this week, and it got a lot of people talking about an impending recession in the overall markets.  Does this make any sense?  Is there any point in even talking about it?  In Episode 229, we talk about both sides of the argument, and exactly what we should be doing about it all, should the market doomers actually be right for once.

Ep228: Being TOO Early
Published:

Yes, there is such a thing, and I have done it here on the show before right in front of everybody.  It doesn't happen often, but if we can simply identify WHY it happened, we can eliminate the very few losses we do take here on the show, and make even MORE money in the process.  Don't miss this one.

Ep227: Silver Squeeze 2025-26
Published:

It's happening again, and it's no longer a secret.  Silver is rare, heavily desired, and now pricey.  But how much pricier can it get?  And what the hell is happening out there right now with the run on silver and how it affects the major crook bullion banks of the world?  It's all coming together.  And guess who benefits the most from this?  For once, the retail investors do.

Ep226: I Still Can't Believe It
Published:

I ran some numbers last night for the podcast, and I haven't really slept since.  What I discovered blew me away on a level I have never experienced, and now I will share this data with you.  This could very well destroy my entire credibility if I got it wrong somehow, but f*k it, I've had a good enough run I guess.

Ep225: Oh Sweet Divergence
Published:

Remember back when we never saw weeks like this?  Now they're almost common, but we here know exactly how to take advantage of them by now, don't we?  Regardless if you do or don't, in Episode 225 we will tackle gold, silver, geopolitics, and crypto all in about 27 minutes, so you will never be caught off guard ever again -- unlike most people.

Ep224: What I Bought This Week
Published:

For the first time in awhile, I got a series of buy signals, and you bet I took advantage.  These signals spanned across a number of sectors, and we'll talk about all of them, and the reasons why I didn't hesitate to pull the trigger on any of them, in Episode 224.

Ep223: Cash = Status
Published:

You were programmed twice -- once to think cash was the only safe, risk-free option out there (LOL), and then again later in life to think it's worse than Ebola.  The answer, you ding-dong, like everything else, is somewhere in the middle.  If you understand this, and you take the right steps, with your cash alone, you can and WILL move up the income ladder with almost no effort at all.  We explain how, in Episode 223.

Ep222: My Assets
Published:

What is in my portfolio is far less important than WHY it's actually there, and HOW it actually got there.  You'll see what I mean.  But if you're wondering what all I'm invested in across the board, this episode will lay all of that out for you as well.

Ep221: We're Finally Here
Published:

Probably.  Fed Chair Jerome Powell is expected to cut rates for the first time all year, and is also expected to cut more soon after.  This is the downward momentum of interest rate cuts we have been waiting for.  Do you know what happens to markets when this occurs?  Do they go up or down?  If you didn't immediately answer "both", you need to give me your next 21 minutes ASAP.

Ep220: Your Scarcity Mindset
Published:

Time to lose a few more subscribers with this one, saddle up boys, it's a psychology episode!!  In Episode 220 we talk about dating for a disturbingly long time, but it will all make sense in the end I promise.

Ep219: My Entire Portfolio Allocation
Published:

Every episode in the past 3 months has led to this.  VP shows you how he is positioning himself for the next 5 years, and why it is crucial you start looking at investing the same way.

Ep218: Too Much of One Thing
Published:

What happens when one asset moons, and then ends up becoming waaaayyyy too much of your overall portfolio?  This can, and does happen all the time in ContrarianLand because of the asymmetric assets we like to invest in.  But this can be a really uncomfortable spot to be in, and if you're ever fortunate enough to have this problem, we have the solution(s) for you, here in Episode 218.

Ep217: Exactly How We Pick Winners
Published:

NEW POSITION ALERT!!  And even more important than that, I take you through the step-by-step process we take here at the show, so you can do all of this yourself and never have to listen to this podcast ever again!  But you still will.  Because you just can't get enough.  And we love you for it.

Ep216: We Are Almost Out of Bitcoin
Published:

I ran the numbers, and we may be running out of  Bitcoin sooner than people thought.  We go over these numbers and what you need to be doing about it (if it's not obvious) in Episode 216.

Ep215: The AI Episode, Part 2
Published:

God help you if you miss this one.  AI isn't going away, it's only going to get more prominent in our everyday lives.  But it's going to need a lot of "things" to make it work and scale.  If you can identify those "things", those critical components which go into AI, you will make a LOT of money over the next 5, 10, 15 years.  In part 2 of 2 in our AI series, VP points out exactly what those very "things" are likely to be.

Ep214: Wait, Base Metals are Running??
Published:

We interrupt our series on AI to bring you an important episode on an opportunity we have been waiting years for.  We pack a lot into this 12 minute episode, including what signs we should be looking for, what signs we already have, and how to play what could just be a very unconventional run up in base metals of all places.

Ep213: The AI Episode, Part 1
Published:

AI is no longer a question of "if".  You know this now.  So what are you going to do about it?  There are two very obvious roads to take here, and one of them is very dark and something I wouldn't recommend.  Let's talk about what I do recommend.  Because there is good news here.  VERY good news.

Ep212: The Race is On
Published:

Gee I dunno, what happens when huge countries pile into limited resources all at once (Gold, Bitcoin)??  Price goes way up, every time.  It's happening again, to two other resources right now -- and it's not too late for you to get in.

Ep211: Essential Contrarian ETFs
Published:

Lots of alpha in this one. You NEED investments like this in your portfolio if you're going to play this game the right way. And a lot of them are on sale!  Imagine getting in cheap on entire sectors the world simply cannot do without, and getting paid while you watch it steadily go up and up. With limited downside! I can't think of anything better. Hot Latinas maybe, but apart from that....

Ep210: Even MORE Deep Value For You
Published:

Altcoins aren't the only thing out there experiencing Sweet Divergence -- Where the sector is on fire, but money hasn't trickled into the lower cap offerings.  There is a sector even more validated right now, with stocks just begging to be snatched up.

Ep209: What's Really Cheap Right Now?
Published:

What might just be the biggest asset class of our time is ridiculously on sale at the moment, and the overall risk of investing in this particular asset class just went way down this week.  You should know what it is, but even if you don't, join us here in Episode 209.

Ep208: Good Night, and Good Luck
Published:

I discovered a stat this week that put me right on my ass, and I will share it with you today.  Preparations are needed contrarians.  We review the 4 major ways.

Ep207: Hi Ho Silver Awaaaayyyyy!!
Published:

Silver has reached new all time highs.  Not literally, but as far as I go it has, and I am officially the new standard for what is and what isn't, so let's celebrate!  And let's also find ways to get back into this market if you initially missed it, or you just simply want more.

Ep206: When You're Too Late
Published:

If you're using the monthly chart for your investment entries like we do, you have almost certainly experienced this feeling at least a few times already.  What do you do when the thing you want to invest in gave you a signal......months ago?  Is it too late to buy?  Maybe not.  Here's what you do...

Ep205: Five Flags Theory
Published:

Getting your five flags down is the ultimate way to become bulletproof, and make sure all you have worked for, and WILL work for stays out of danger.  Hearing about this for the first time was so exciting and invigorating to me when I first learned about it, and I hope you will feel the same way, after hearing Episode 205.

Ep204: Your Questions Answered
Published:

It's been awhile, let's do some Q&A. 

Ep203: Jupiter
Published:

I'm going to tell you how I pick my crypto positions.  I will explain why I put my money where I put it.  I will then tell you why the Jupiter token (JUP) is next on my list.  All right here in episode 203.  

Ep202: How We Do It
Published:

Episode 201 focused on the "why".  Now we tell you how we escape the purposely restrictive and miserable lives most people lead, and put the pieces together to become financially independent, and bullet-proof to the entire world.

Ep201: How to Escape the Financial Peasantry
Published:

Unless you were born super rich, we all start off as peasants in this life.  The goal of the system is to keep you there as long as possible, if not forever, and they do a really great job of this.  Peasantry isn't just a way of life, it's a mindset, it has to be in order to keep you there.  Therefore, the only way to break free is to think CONTRARIAN to the way THEY think.  If you never quite understood the vital importance of thinking like we do, there's no better time to start, here in Episode 201.

Ep200: Real World Assets
Published:

You're not thinking big enough.  Imagine taking part in the trillions of dollars spent every day on stocks, bonds, real estate, entertainment, damn near everything.  This is the role Real World Assets will one day play in our lives, and will dominate the financial landscape.  But are we too early?  Who are the major players in the space right now?  Should you invest while the space is still in its infancy?  The masters of the financial universe have already done it, we know this much.  Are you going to sit there and bet against them??  Maybe, just maybe you should be allocating a bit of your own money here now as well.  We show you how and where, in our 200th episode.

Ep199: Don't Listen to Anybody
Published:

Financial media really told us who they were this week.  A bunch of emotional tampons who do not operate in your best interest.  Could you imagine making decisions based on the extreme fickleness of these people -- people who the populous has declared relevant??  Rekt City.  You may think you're above all of this, but I'll bet you're not.  We're all guilty.  You need to get this crap out of your life as much as possible, it's of top importance these days, and Episode 199 shows you two great ways to do it.

Ep198: Tariffs Boogaloo
Published:

Could this be it?  Could this be the catalyst for the real recession we here at the 10MC Podcast have been waiting to capitalize on for four years now??  Who knows, but it sure it acting like it might be.  In Episode 198 we go over tariffs, sentiment, how not to be a loser, USD, Gold, Silver, Copper, Energy, Bitcoin, Bonds, charting, and everything you will need to set yourself up to heavily tilt the financial tables towards your side, now and forever.

Ep197: Latin America Talk - Mexico, Central America, Caribbean
Published:

The best way to become rich overnight is to move away from your dying Western country and into a place like Latin America, which is so diverse, it literally has something for everyone.  98-100% of your fears about moving there are stupid and wrong.  We take a break from finance and shoot the warm breeze about what to expect should you decide to do the obvious and move here.  We'll cover cost, lifestyle, and women in the northern half of LATAM, in a long-form Episode 197.

Ep196: The Commodities Super Cycle
Published:

Soooo, we've kind of been waiting for this to happen for a very long time.  And it may finally be upon us.  You better be ready.  There are many ways to play this, but simply getting yourself into a broad commodities ETF is a great way to get exposure without having to sit there and overthink it.  In Episode 196, we talk about the probability of a commodity super cycle, and the best strategies to take full advantage and make money while the rest of the world sits there and takes losses.

Ep195: The "Tack-On" Method
Published:

This is the easiest consistent money you'll ever make, should you actually execute on it.  By simply combining episodes of The 10-Minute Contrarian Podcast, you can tack on extra percentage points to your cash for life.  But there's one piece of this method which actually takes some (gasp!) effort, but once you've done that....

Ep194: Canaries in the Coalmine
Published:

I have no idea if the US stock market is going down or not, but I don't need to know because there are early indicators I can plug into my charts which will tell me if there is a good chance I need to get my bear market playbook in order or not.  What are those canaries?  I have three of them for you.  One of them is bound to work perfectly in your system.

Ep193: Crypto Armageddon, Part 28
Published:

Stop me if you've heard this one.  Here we are again, at a ridiculous dip in the crypto market.  During times like this, it never hurts to talk about what's going on and why, and reiterate our processes for taking advantage of times like this -- which we've done many times.  And a bonus technical analysis section!

Ep192: Gold Gone Wild
Published:

We are seeing things come together in the gold market in a way we've never seen in our lifetimes.  Like, crazy type shit.  And price decided not to run away from us in the process.  What is happening, and what does it all mean?  And should we be taking advantage of it?  All questions answered, in Episode 192.

Ep191: The REvolution
Published:

I bought a stock awhile back, and I want to tell you guys about it.  It's a space I've always wanted to be in, and now I am, and it may just be time to once again watch these things go absolutely ballistic in the markets.

Ep190: What Do We Mean By "Cheap"?
Published:

You've heard "Buy low, sell high", well we buy low a LOT on this show, and Episode 190 explains all the ways how.  If you can just find a way to take these concepts with you from now on, you're going to have a really hard time NOT making huge profits in the future.

Ep189: Trade Bonds, Get Rich!
Published:

Booooorrrriinnnngggg, amirite?  Think again.  Another edition of our Dividend Series is here today, and a very interesting addition it is.  Believe it or not, you should be utilizing bonds in their many forms way more than you currently are.  After all, free money is good.  Free money plus gains is even better.  Free money plus gains in instruments which you can go both long AND short, is frickin elite.

Ep188: The Big Energy Predictions Episode 2025
Published:

It's that time of year.  Time to try and predict what has never been easy to predict in years past, but dammit we're going to try.  Energy is something no investor should ever miss out on, especially considering where this world is trying to ambitiously go in the future.  What is going to power the future of electrification and AI?  Vibes??  No, an ever decreasing supply of molecules is your answer.  Uh oh.  Supply/Demand anyone?

Ep187: The Crypto Predictions Episode 2025
Published:

Ohhhh mama we got a lot for you here.  Mostly bullish.  But as always, we take a grown-up, zoomed-out approach and when we do there's a lot of excitement to be had, but it's not all cake and ice cream.  We explore both sides, give VPs Bitcoin prediction for 2025, and mention the #1 sector to look out for going forward, in a long Episode 187.

Ep186: Gold and Silver Predictions 2025
Published:

Gold and Silver should both get pretty spicy in 2025.  But in which direction?  Could be both.  VP lays out the reasons behind his 2025 gold and silver price predictions, and shows which parts of the world will be most responsible.  Plus some hot silver data as a bonus.

Ep185: The Big Macro Episode 2025
Published:

Get ready for chaos.  And markets don't like chaos.  We go over the main drivers of the 2025 macro scene (there are less than usual, thankfully), and VP puts out his predictions for the S&P 500 and the USD.  

Ep184: End of Year Report Card 2024
Published:

We made over/under price predictions in January of this year.  Let's see how we did!  Predictions made for the S&P 500, Gold, Silver, Oil, Copper, NatGas, Uranium, Bitcoin, and the USD.

Ep183: Never Stop Prepping
Published:

So you think we're out of the woods, and things are going to be great again, don't you?  Dumbass.  That's exactly when things go south in a hurry.  Check your history.  Any real contrarian would not only know this, but start ratcheting up their defensive playbook and make sure they are well set up to participate in all of the great potential upside we're all hoping for, while making sure they don't get rekt if they're wrong.  And let me guess, you don't think YOU'RE wrong?  Okay, then let me ask you this -- are you excited about the next 4 years in the United States??  Great!  So are the masses.  Uh oh....

Ep182: Lithium
Published:

If you're doing this whole contrarian investing thing right, you're taking some of the profits you just made, and rotating them into things that are cheap.  Problem is, there's not much cheap out there right now.  Or is there?  I've waited a LONG time to talk about Lithium.  But it's finally time we had a serious chat about it.

Ep181: Dinosaur Tokens FTW!!
Published:

They laughed at us.  They laughed at the projects we loved and supported.  And now they've all been left behind, because they don't get to participate in the future of blockchain the way we do here at the podcast.  Episode 181 goes over the older projects and tokens we invested in, and had the patience to wait out, where others folded.

Ep180: Tax Loss Harvesting
Published:

Everybody loses, even us if you can believe it.  So we need to take advantage of the beautiful loss mitigation known as Tax Loss Harvesting, and in Episode 180, VP explains how he is handling it and how you may want to do the same.  Because losses were a bit hard to come by this year....

Ep179: Trade Your Money
Published:

Most people just sit there and eat their balls when it comes to the value of the money in their bank accounts going down over time.  What if it didn't have to be that way?  We already have safe havens like gold to run to, but you want further diversification than just gold or Bitcoin.  Most people have no options beyond this.  Sucks for them, but not for us.  So what IS this unique advantage almost all of my listeners have over everyone else?  The answer is in the title.

Ep178: Closed End Funds
Published:

G's only for this one.  Closed End Funds (CEFs) are probably the most overlooked investment out there.  If more people actually knew what the hell they were, they certainly wouldn't be overlooked.  We briefly explain what CEFs are, and also explain how contrarians like us can take huge advantage of them, here in Episode 178.

Ep177: Uncomfortable Truths
Published:

A lot of people just learned a very tough lesson this past week, but we are ALL vulnerable to putting our emotions and more importantly our money in the wrong places because we either cannot deal with, or are simply unaware of the uncomfortable truths out there in the world.  One of the biggest ones out there right now is where, geographically, you should be looking to put your money.

Ep176: The Election Episode
Published:

Whoever wins the US Elections this week will likely help determine the fate of a number of instruments and sectors we like to invest in.  So in Episode 176, we go over the probabilities of each candidate winning, but far more importantly what a victory for each side could mean for our current and future holdings.

Ep175: Up Your Odds Even MORE
Published:

Once the recovery is officially in place, you're going to get a LOT of signals from a LOT of stocks and ETFs.  Which ones do you choose?  Last week we talked about the fundamentals side of the equation, and in Episode 175, we go over the technicals -- even more than we have in the past.  Because that's where the gold really sits.

Ep174: Fundamentals For Free
Published:

Fundamentals are much more important in stocks and ETFs than they are in FX, metals, and crypto.  But what if we could use this to our advantage?  And what if we could do it for free?  We can.  Everyone can.  But like anything, there are better ways to do it.  Let's add yet another advantage to our investing.

Ep173: The Monthly Chart
Published:

The monthly chart is a cheat code -- for investing.  You wanna talk about a rare and special advantage we have over your average investor, this is the most obvious one.  We simply do not have to take the same kinds of losses others do.  This can do remarkable things to your average yearly return.  But there's a particular way to use the monthly chart for this purpose, and spoiler alert -- it's stupid easy.

Ep172: We Have HUGE Advantages
Published:

When it comes to our investment portfolio, we have already learned just what kind of impact a higher yearly return can give us, and how soon we can double our accounts.  What if I told you that we, the contrarians, can get a much larger total return than your average investor can, or even your average firm?  What could those added percentage points do for you?  There are LOTS of them out there available to you, if you know where to look.

Ep171: "Rule of 72"
Published:

This is a big deal.  A little really does go a long way, but only if you are aware of it, and you are doing everything you can to gain percentage points where you can, and eliminate them elsewhere.  Don't know what I'm talking about?  You better learn.  And the sooner the better.

Ep170: The Countdown Begins
Published:

All of the pieces are now in place.  We have officially entered the cutting phase, the yield curve inversion, and a couple of other very key tell-tale signs that the recession is on its way.  We break these signs down further, and as always go over our solutions in Episode 170.

Ep169: On Privacy
Published:

Is it a crime to want to be left alone?  Is it bad to want people to be able to say whatever they want to say, and let the public process it how they see fit?  Are there long-term financial implications to stifling these two ideas?  Maybe we should be a lot more focused on matters like this, because they affect our lives in more ways than your average person realizes.  Or maybe....

Ep168: CAKE out, SUI in
Published:

I couldn't pass up on the chance to own the next possible Solana.  I even had to get rid of a token I liked.  Check out the complete breakdown of why both things happened, here in Episode 168.

Ep167: Why No Dividend Talk Yet?
Published:

It's been 167 episodes, and we have yet to dive deep into one of, if not THE biggest things rich people take advantage of.  Dividend investing is pretty great, and a lot of contrarians are either already actively doing it, or very interested.  Maybe we have waited too long to cover this, and need to start doing it right now.  Or maybe.....

Ep166: Risk On?
Published:

Fed Chairmen Jerome Powell made it official yesterday that rates are going to start dropping.  The market rejoiced.  People think it's up only for awhile.  Episode 166 talks about this, and what we need to do to prepare and max out this potential opportunity.

Ep165: Gold and Silver Updates Q3 2024
Published:

Raise your hand if you knew gold hit new highs this week?  Keep your hands up if you heard the craziness going on in Mexico regarding silver.  Okay, the two of you can leave.  For the rest of you, you're going to want to catch Episode 165.

Ep164: Panic at the 24 Hour Disco
Published:

Last Monday was a day unlike most of us have seen in a long time.  Even though we have partially recovered in a lot of ways, most people were quite pessimistic about any type of recovery when the market was falling the way it was.  What if I told you there were going to be several more days ahead just like this?  And that one of those days was going to be "the big one"?  Should we be buying anything at all in this environment?  We talk macro this week, in episode 164.

Ep163: Goddammit, It's Time To Buy
Published:

We need to take what the market gifts us, it's all part of being disciplined.  And fortunate for us, almost every time we get these gifts, they have paid off well.  And guess what?  It's happening again.  You know what to do.

Ep162: Something Crazy Just Happened in Copper
Published:

We're going over a concept we've never talked about before.  Not that anyone has noticed, but the spot price of copper has dropped almost 20% in the past 5 weeks.  This should have been a bloodbath for copper mining stocks, which are so seldomly held.  But we can learn a lot from what happened instead.

Ep161: The World Pushed Back
Published:

As we predicted, a lot of emotion going on in the political world right now.  And a lot of people declaring victory for one side.  You also see a lot of people who still think we're doomed.  They're both wrong.

Ep160: What We Believe!
Published:

What I cannot believe, is why we didn't do this episode sooner.  160 episodes in, we need to take a step back, remind ourselves why we're here, and let newer listeners know they've definitely found the right place.

Ep159: Chill TF Out
Published:

And no, it has nothing to do with these crypto markets.  While we're low in the news cycle, and everyone is calm, we need to talk about some sensitive topics.  Because it's about to get wild.

Ep158: Is Crypto Back In Play?
Published:

We've been in a very defensive mode lately, but when you get irrational drops of this size in the crypto market, it's hard not to want to take advantage -- because every time we have done this in the past, it has paid off nicely for us.  It looks like we may be back on offense for a moment.  Episode 158 looks at the tokens VP would be adding onto, including some first-time tokens he has never mentioned before!

Ep157: FYPM
Published:

You can make anywhere from $1000 to $5000+ a month for doing absolutely nothing you don't already do now.  I'm not kidding.  What could you do with all that extra money?  What kind of cushion could this provide?  How much Bitcoin could you buy?  VP shows you how to make it happen.  This is not clickbait.  But it's probably not what you think it is either.

Ep156: Rates Are Dropping Everywhere
Published:

It's finally happening.  The next domino to fall is falling.  The ECB and Canada have both dropped their interest rates, and the UK should not be far behind.  What is this telling us, and what should we be doing to prepare for it RIGHT NOW?  We discuss all of this, in Episode 156.

Ep155: Beware of Fintech Apps!
Published:

Fintech apps are a great invention, but yours is probably in bigger danger than you think it is.  They're almost always tied to a bank, and it's often a very small bank you've never heard of, making them only as strong as their weakest link.  In Episode 155, we discuss which apps this affects and what you should be doing about it.  Protect yourself.

Ep154: The NEXT Spot Crypto ETF Will Be.....?
Published:

With the recent surprise approval of the spot Ether ETF in the United States, this opens the doors for a flood of money to come into our space, probably even moreso than the Bitcoin ETFs.  Figuring out which token is next up will probably mean HUGE returns for its holders.  So let's try and get ahead of it.  In Episode 154, we discuss the top possibilities for the next spot crypto ETF in the US, and debate whether they really have a chance or not.

Ep153: Basic OpSec (Google Edition)
Published:

The biggest threat of you losing your money these days is by having it taken from you.  Almost everybody uses a Google product for something, and this has now become a major problem, in ways you probably aren't expecting.  It can now become a direct gateway to your bank accounts and especially your crypto.  We break down how this new generation of scammers are evolving, and the very simple things you can do to stop them.
