MoneyShow MoneyMasters Podcast

In this episode, Larry McDonald joins the MoneyShow MoneyMasters Podcast to discuss what he calls "The Great Migration" of capital from tech and growth stocks into hard assets. The founder of The Bear Traps Report explains why the traditional 60/40 portfolio is failing – and why investors should consider a significant allocation to commodities like gold, silver, base metals, and energy.
McDonald also warns of a potential "blowoff top" in AI and semiconductor names, arguing that these sectors are trading at unsustainable levels far above their moving averages. He also critiques the "dark side" of passive investing, where major index sponsors may be indirectly force-feeding overvalued IPOs to unsuspecting 401k investors. Looking ahead, the discussion focuses on the essential power infrastructure needed for the AI growth cycle, highlighting opportunities in uranium, natural gas, and "trapped gas" plays. Finally, learn how even a small fraction of the trillions of dollars currently in the NASDAQ 100 could dramatically revalue hard asset and value plays in the coming years.

Dr. Ed Yardeni joins the MoneyShow MoneyMasters Podcast to analyze how recent Middle East conflicts and "the fog of war" are reshaping the global economic outlook.
He discusses why he raised his recession odds to 35% and how current geopolitical volatility may force the Federal Reserve to pause interest rate cuts indefinitely. The discussion explores the risk of a 1970s-style "lost decade" versus the resilience of a more energy-independent US economy.
Yardeni examines the ripple effects of oil price spikes on commodity markets, including potential shortages in fertilizer and rising food prices. Beyond the war headlines, Yardeni breaks down why the AI revolution remains a powerful long-term productivity driver rather than a dot-com bubble repeat. He also provides a unique perspective on the leadership at the Fed and the looming liquidity risks within the private credit market.

In this episode, David Keller, President and Chief Strategist at Sierra Alpha Research, joins the MoneyShow MoneyMasters Podcast to break down a stock market that is being pulled in multiple directions at once.
Keller explains how leadership had already been rotating away from big tech and aggressive growth stocks before the latest Middle East conflict added another layer of risk. He then walks through what the charts are saying now about sector rotation, credit spreads, market volatility, defensive leadership, foreign stocks, precious metals, energy, and real estate – and why investors should focus less on the headlines and more on what price action is actually confirming.
The conversation also covers the key levels Keller is watching in names like Nvidia, Goldman Sachs, and other widely held stocks...along with where he still sees relative strength and where caution is starting to build.

Live from the 2026 MoneyShow Las Vegas, we sat down with Oliver Renick (Chicago: Future of Finance) and Cullen Roche (Discipline Funds) to talk about how investing is changing and how your portfolio should change with it.
 
We cover Cullen’s new book Your Perfect Portfolio, why there’s no single “perfect” strategy, and how to think about diversification in a market full of rotation, volatility, and big valuation gaps between the U.S. and global stocks.
 
Meanwhile, Oliver breaks down the rise of the “pro-tail” investor, how options and convexity are reshaping portfolio construction, and why AI is changing correlations across stocks, gold, and Bitcoin.
 
We also get into crypto’s role in portfolios, hedging with options and buffer funds, and why semiconductors may be the real signal to watch in 2026.
 
If you’re trying to build a smarter, more resilient portfolio for what’s coming next, this episode is for you.

Rotation is the word of the year, and it’s reshaping everything from tech stocks to energy, materials, and even global markets.
In this episode of the MoneyShow MoneyMasters Podcast, we sit down with Victoria Fernandez, Chief Market Strategist at Crossmark Global Investments, and Paul Hickey, Co-Founder of Bespoke Investment Group, to break down what this market rotation really means for investors.
We talk through why leadership is shifting away from mega-cap tech, how a “bullish but brittle” market changes portfolio strategy, and where investors need to be more selective right now.
The conversation also touches on interest rates, the Fed, fixed income strategies, global markets, and what recent volatility in commodities and crypto is signaling about liquidity and risk. If you’re trying to navigate a market that’s broadening out, getting choppier, and requiring far more tactical trading than it used to, this episode will help you understand where the opportunities (and the risks) are hiding.

AI stocks and crypto just got rocked — and the bounce since then hasn’t exactly inspired confidence. In this episode of the MoneyShow MoneyMasters Podcast, we sit down with Michael Lee of Michael Lee Strategy and Merlin Rothfeld of the Trading Academy to unpack what’s really behind the recent turbulence.
We break down the liquidity squeeze hitting markets, the surge in AI capex, and why SaaS and software names are suddenly under pressure. We also dig into Bitcoin’s pullback, the crypto shakeout, and what past cycles suggest about what could come next.
Then we zoom out to the bigger picture: tokenization, digital financial rails, and whether blockbuster IPOs like OpenAI and SpaceX could reshape market sentiment. It’s a fast-moving, no-nonsense conversation about risk, hype, and where the real opportunities might be hiding.

Markets move fast. Great investing rarely does.
In this session from the MoneyShow Virtual Expo held Jan. 27–28, 2026, Mike Larson, our Editor-in-Chief, caught up with David Gardner, co-founder and chief rule breaker at The Motley Fool, to talk about how investors can cut through noise and build lasting wealth in 2026 and beyond.
David breaks down why long-term investing still beats short-term trading, how information overload has made investing harder, and why many of the best stocks in history looked “overvalued” – before they became legendary. He shares the thinking behind Rulebreaker Investing, including the habits that matter most, the role of conscious capitalism, and why portfolios should reflect your vision of the future, not the headlines of the day.
The conversation also touches on short-term speculation, prediction markets, crypto, dividend stocks, and why David believes real investing means staying patient when others panic.
This is a clear-eyed framework for investors who want to think independently...and play the long game.
