Podcast appearances and mentions of Paris Las Vegas

This week on Tech Chef, host Skip Kimpel dives into a post-MURTEC 2025 recap with first-time guest and hospitality tech veteran Tom Seeker. Fresh off the show floor, they discuss everything from shifting conference venues to the biggest tech themes making waves in the restaurant and hospitality space.Tom brings the dual perspective of a vendor and operator, offering sharp insights on what made this year's event stand out. The conversation centers on how data has become the true king, replacing cash as the core currency of innovation, and how restaurants must own and control their data to stay competitive.From the evolving role of AI and VR in training and operations to conversations around legacy tech, security, and personalization, this episode is packed with strategic takeaways for operators, tech providers, and hospitality pros alike.Takeaways:Data is the New Currency: The dominant theme of MURTEC 2025 was clear—data is king. Operators need to prioritize data ownership, clean pipelines, and interoperability between systems to future-proof their businesses.AI is Just a Tool: The buzz around AI has matured. It's no longer seen as a silver bullet, but rather as a data enhancement tool, helping restaurants normalize, visualize, and act on information more effectively.Training is Going Virtual: With limited resources and expanding footprints, operators are increasingly turning to virtual and extended reality (XR) solutions to meet employees where they are. VR-based onboarding and training are on the rise, driven by both need and innovation.Legacy Tech Still a Major Pain Point: Many brands remain handcuffed by outdated systems. There's a growing push to modernize the tech stack while ensuring data continuity and seamless integration with modern tools.Security Still Matters (Even If It's Not Trendy): While AI dominated past headlines, cybersecurity remains mission-critical. Large restaurant brands continue to be high-profile targets, making awareness and proactive defense essential.The Guest Experience is Assumed, but the Employee Experience is Rising: Guest experience is now table stakes. The bigger surprise? A growing emphasis on employee-facing tech—tools that empower teams, improve shift management, and optimize training.MURTEC Venue Shift & Community Vibes: While there was skepticism about the move from Paris Las Vegas to Caesars Forum, Tom praises the new setup, calling it a “family reunion” with great energy and flow. Still, the familiar charm of Paris has its fans.RTN Standards & Collaboration: The Restaurant Technology Network (RTN) is playing a vital role in shaping the future. From RFP standards to possible mentorship programs and showroom tours, there's a strong push for industry-wide collaboration.How To Contact MeWebsitehttps://SkipKimpel.com (all archived shows and show notes will be posted here)https://magicgate.comInstagram:https://instagram.com/skipkimpelhttps://www.instagram.com/magicgatetech/X (Twitter):

The best traders “stack” probabilities in their favor – using different types of analysis and multiple trading signals to increase their chances of success. They know how to manage risk. And they don't dig their heels in when they face the “Right idea, wrong time” dilemma. Those are just a few of the pearls of wisdom shared by Blake Morrow, co-founder of Forex Analytix, in my latest MoneyShow MoneyMasters Podcast segment.We begin by discussing Blake's background in the capital markets, including stints as part-owner of a Dallas brokerage and chief currency strategist for Wizetrade Group and what is now Ally Financial. Blake then shares an overview of Forex Analytix, including the 30+ different markets and currency pairs its analysts track and talk about...and the educational and community-based features it offers.We move on to trade relations next, discussing the impact of President-elect Trump's tariff-focused policies, China's stimulus toolbox and how currency devaluation fits into it, and what key levels to watch when it comes to the yuan. Then we cover the “divergent policies” theme and why it's so important in the FX and related markets. Blake zeros in on recent policy moves the Bank of Canada, European Central Bank, Bank of Japan, and US Federal Reserve have made – and how traders should play what they do next. He also covers Bitcoin, gold, and why “buying the dips” should work in both asset classes.Finally, we circle back to tactics and strategies. Blake outlines the five major schools of analysis his firm focuses on, how you can mix and match them to boost your probabilities of success, and the one thing that trips up traders the most – plus how to get past that pitfall. Blake closes with a preview of what he'll cover at the 2025 MoneyShow/TradersEXPO Las Vegas, scheduled for Feb. 17-19 at the Paris Las Vegas.

S&P 6,000. Nasdaq 20,000. Dow 45,000. And of course, Bitcoin $100,000. We've seen a lot of big, round numbers fall in 2024 – and not just in the stock market. But what's happening BEHIND the curtain? Why should traders embrace “mindful investing” here – and focus on avoiding four “deadly sins?” I spoke with David Keller, President and Chief Strategist at Sierra Alpha Research, to get the answers in this MoneyShow MoneyMasters Podcast segment.We begin by discussing Dave's new venture, Sierra Alpha, and how he's looking to help both institutional and individual clients succeed more consistently. The conversation then pivots to market conditions in December 2024 – including the recent resurgence in “Big Tech,” the differences between the pre-election and post-election market environments, and the one key sector whose strength bodes well for the future. At the same time, Dave sees signs of waning breadth and reduced participation late in Q4...and explains what would concern him even more if he sees it happen in Q1 2025. As for whether we can notch a THIRD straight year of 20%-plus gains for the S&P? Dave has thoughts as well – and he shares them next, along with his take on what happens next with Bitcoin and gold.Later, we cover the concept of mindful investing and how it can help center traders in a volatile market filled with potential distractions. He also sheds light on the four deadly sins you should avoid if you want to become a more successful investor, a concept he plans to go deeper into at the 2025 MoneyShow/TradersEXPO Las Vegas, scheduled for Feb. 17-19 at the Paris Las Vegas.

Steve Sosnick is now Chief Strategist at Interactive Brokers, which entails writing about and talking about key developments in financial markets. But his options market experience spans decades, with stints in risk management, market making, trading model development and optimization, and prop trading. In this eye-opening MoneyShow MoneyMasters Podcast episode, he draws on those experiences to provide critical insights about the current market environment – and how traders and investors can best navigate it.We start by discussing Steve's history in the options market, and how he transitioned from an in-the-trenches to public-facing role at what is now called Interactive Brokers. Next, he shares his observations about this market – including what's causing it to “slouch”...why for some time it has been “going up because it's going up”...and how the only debate left is whether stocks are “phenomenally expensive, bubbleicious expensive, or just plain old expensive.” That said, Steve characterizes himself as more cautious than fearful – and advocates INSURING against the tape rather than FIGHTING it.We move on to discuss how to accomplish that, including one simple step you can take – and a more involved strategy that uses options. Regarding the latter, Steve says that once you figure out how much “insurance” you need, you should consider a couple of different tactics to combat time decay, sidestep the need for constant re-hedging, and otherwise avoid being “pushed into a decision” by market developments. We end with a discussion of what else Steve will cover at the 2024 MoneyShow/TradersEXPO Las Vegas, scheduled for Feb. 17-19 at the Paris Las Vegas.

A pro-crypto president. A pro-crypto Congress. A pro-crypto SEC. That's what the cryptocurrency industry will soon benefit from in this “Gamechanger” moment, according to Matt Hougan, Chief Investment Officer at Bitwise Asset Management. That, in turn, has enormous implications for investors in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, which Matt and I explore in this week's MoneyShow MoneyMasters Podcast.Our chat begins with a primer on Matt's background and an overview of Bitwise, one of the largest crypto-focused investment management firms, with $11 billion in client assets across ETFs, funds, staking services, and active strategies. Next, we discuss the seismic shift in the industry's future growth potential and institutional acceptance driven by the election results, as well as the wildly successful roll out of Bitcoin (and other) ETFs and what it means for investors and traders. The conversation then pivots to sector innovations and developments fueled by cryptocurrencies, including those that are “very serious and very fun.” They include the growth in election prediction markets that garnered so much attention this fall...the use of crypto-enabled stablecoins for B2B payments in developing markets…and the use of blockchain technology to validate ownership and transfer of video game perks and upgrades.We also cover how Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies can and should be used in investor portfolios, how Bitcoin measures up against gold, and what new investors in the asset class need to keep in mind. Finally, Matt previews what he'll cover at the 2024 MoneyShow/TradersEXPO Las Vegas, scheduled for Feb. 17-19 at the Paris Las Vegas.

If you're a trader, you're constantly doing battle with ONE enemy. An adversary who can make things more complicated than they need to be...who can be distracted by narratives, politics, and irrelevant earnings trends...who can commit serious “chart crimes”...and more. The enemy? Yourself. That's what Brian Lund, Publisher of The Lund Loop, warns about in this week's MoneyShow MoneyMasters Podcast episode.A retail trader who began trading stocks in 1985, Brian now helps educate fellow traders online. He begins by discussing why “Trading isn't easy, but it doesn't have to be complicated”...and laying out the three-step process he uses before entering any position. The key to long-term success in his view? Figuring out your methodology and then doing it “over and over and over again.” We then discuss the benefit of participating in trading communities and discussion groups, as well as one potential drawback to keep in mind. Brian also covers his preferred technical indicators and favorite trading timeframe, which he believes offers the best profit opportunities while also allowing you to avoid having to micromanage positions.Next, we pivot to a discussion of current market conditions – including why the post-election surge in stocks could mark a short-term top in a longer-term uptrend. We also discuss Bitcoin's big run and what to keep in mind as it nears $100,000...one AI stock he finds particularly attractive...and what the interplay between financials and other sectors could tell us about where equity markets go from here. Lastly, Brian previews what he'll cover at the 2025 MoneyShow/TradersEXPO Las Vegas, scheduled for Feb. 17-19 at the Paris Las Vegas.

In this MoneyShow MoneyMasters Podcast episode, the three of us discuss the current and future states of the residential and commercial real estate markets – and how investors can navigate shifting industry conditions.John and Patrick begin by discussing their backgrounds, which include a combined three-plus decades analyzing, researching, consulting for, and writing about the industry. Patrick then shares his take on the housing market, including its two main challenges – and the emerging one that's bedeviling more home buyers (and owners) in more states with each passing day. John next discusses the “Golden Handcuff” problem, how creative financing structures like “subject-to financing” can help in some cases, and what it all means for publicly traded home builders. In his words: “You can build all the homes you want. But if people can't afford them…it's not a great environment.”Next up is a chat about commercial real estate. Patrick weighs in on multifamily oversupply in the South and the re-emergence of rent control efforts in higher-priced regions...reasons why retail real estate is rebounding...how some office markets are stabilizing because the “extend and pretend” trend is winding down...and more. His overall take: “Like everything else, it's very sector- and geography-specific.” John then shares his thoughts on real estate loan and CMBS losses, saying he does NOT expect “utter and total chaos” for one major reason. We start wrapping up with a discussion of REITs as an investment – including why they've struggled for the past 12-18 months and the one development John thinks could really get the sector going again. Patrick also opines on why certain REIT subsectors are doing better (and worse) than others.Finally, John and Patrick conclude with a quick chat about what they will cover at the MoneyShow Masters Symposium Las Vegas, set for Aug. 1-3, 2024 at the Paris Las Vegas.

Luke Lloyd is a Wealth Advisor and Investment Strategist at Strategic Wealth Partners. In this MoneyShow MoneyMasters Podcastepisode, Luke starts by talking about “one of the biggest contributing factors keeping this whole economy afloat” – the debt cycle. He says the government is racking up $1 TRILLION in new debt every 100 days...consumers are increasingly using “Buy Now, Pay Later” plans to fuel spending...and corporations are refinancing old debt with new debt carrying higher interest rates. Luke then talks about the Federal Reserve's role in all this debt creation, while sharing a key reason why higher rates haven't really bitten when it comes to the economy or the stock market. He also highlights the one thing that could mean “the banks stop giving you money and credit card companies stop giving you money,” upsetting the borrow-and-spend dynamic.Next, we shift to politics and markets – including what shallow (and deep) corrections mean for an incumbent president's election chances, as well as what Trump or Biden victories would mean for investors in terms of stock and sector selection. Luke and I then chat about a wide range of topics, including his favorite AI plays, stocks that will benefit from the “addiction to lifestyle” trend, which sub-sector in the energy space looks most attractive, and why and how investing in gold can pay off. We conclude with a quick chat about what Luke will cover at the MoneyShow Masters Symposium Las Vegas, set for Aug. 1-3, 2024 at the Paris Las Vegas.

Michael Lee is a 20-plus-year veteran of the financial services industry and Founder of Michael Lee Strategy. In this MoneyShow MoneyMasters Podcast episode, we cover the outlook for stocks, gold, and cryptocurrencies – plus the “Arms Race” that is minting profits for properly positioned investors. Mike starts by noting the frequency of data revisions and other quirks with the economy lately. But he adds that “we're not going into a recession anytime soon” and that while inflation may prove “sticky,” it isn't reaccelerating in a “violent” way. In fact, Michael sees a trifecta of reasons why this should be a “pretty spectacular period for stocks.”When it comes to profiting, he's zeroing in on the Artificial Intelligence (AI) boom, calling this “the greatest technology upgrade cycle in the history of the world.” He believes one sector stock is STILL 25% undervalued...thinks the Magnificent Seven stocks will keep working (though TWO names could lag)...and recommends targeting one key sector ETF (while avoiding another). We next talk about commodities, including the surprising reason oil could drop into the $40s...while gold should hit $5,000 an ounce down the road. As for Bitcoin? Buckle up! Mike sees it reaching $200,000 in the next 18 months for a few important reasons. We conclude with Mike providing a sneak peek at what he'll talk about at the MoneyShow Masters Symposium Las Vegas, set for Aug. 1-3, 2024 at the Paris Las Vegas.

Dana Samuelson is President of American Gold Exchange, as well as a four-decade-plus numismatist, dealer, and trader in the precious metals market. In this sponsored MoneyShow MoneyMasters Podcast episode, he lays out his bullish case for precious metals. Dana believes gold and silver are performing so well – despite occasional, traditional metals headwinds like rising interest rates and a rising U.S. dollar – because of several overwhelming forces. They include surging government debt, strong central bank buying, and geopolitical threats/war in parts of the world. He notes that global central banks are buying a much larger percentage of mine output today than they were several years ago. One reason: Countries are “de-dollarizing” and looking to insulate themselves from the threat of Western sanctions and/or asset seizures.Dana next discusses the case for $3,000 gold, $40-plus silver, and a potential recovery in undervalued metals like platinum. Finally, he explains how and why people should consider investing in physical metals – including highly liquid coins from leading national mints – as well as what to watch out for as an investor. You can learn more about his firm at www.amergold.com – and speak to Dana in person at the upcoming MoneyShow Masters Symposium Las Vegas, set for Aug. 1-3, 2024 at the Paris Las Vegas.

Pete Najarian is Co-Founder of Market Rebellion and a long-time options educator and trader. In this MoneyShow MoneyMasters Podcast episode, we cover a wide range of big-picture topics like the economy and Federal Reserve policy...as well as which stocks, sectors, and asset classes investors should be looking most closely at here. Pete starts the conversation by reiterating that the early-year talk of five, six, or seven Fed interest rate cuts never made sense to him. Now, markets seem to be on roughly the same page as him – with maybe one cut, maybe no cuts being the likeliest policy outcome for 2024. We also talk about how markets struggled with the evolving rate outlook in April, and why they seem to have made peace with it since then.The discussion then pivots to corporate earnings and the technology sector – including how many names are now trading as individual stocks with company-specific drivers, rather than simply components of the “Mag 7” mini-conglomerate. Pete also chats about ways investors can play the Artificial Intelligence (AI) boom outside of obvious names like Alphabet (GOOGL) and Nvidia (NVDA) – including one or two sectors that might not come to mind first. He goes on to name names he likes in the financial sector...what he thinks about the boom in commodities and precious metals...and what the recent resurgence of meme stocks means for investors and traders.Finally, we cover his tips for options traders in this environment – including why maintaining your discipline and having a plan (in advance) of any trade are so important. He closes by sharing a sneak peek at what he'll talk about at the MoneyShow Masters Symposium Las Vegas, set for Aug. 1-3, 2024 at the Paris Las Vegas.

Edward Yardeni is President of Yardeni Research. Jose Torres is Senior Economist at Interactive Brokers. Both market experts joined me for a MoneyShow MoneyMasters Podcast episode recorded from the floor of our Investment Masters Symposium Silicon Valley. Our goal? To talk growth, spending, and where investors should put their money in the rest of 2024.Ed started by explaining the economy's resilience in the face of higher interest rates – including the one thing Baby Boomers are doing to keep growth chugging along. He still thinks inflation will cool and recommends that the Fed should “take the rest of the year off.” Jose weighs in next on why financial conditions remain “quite buoyant, quite loose” and the one thing the Fed is “implicitly accepting” that works in favor of bullish investors. The conversation then shifts to banking sector credit risk and commercial real estate delinquencies...why short-term beats long-term when it comes to fixed-income investing...and which stock market groups and investing styles the two experts like. Ed closes things out by naming the best “shock absorber” for investors in this market – and the one big risk that could derail his bullish outlook.To get more IN-PERSON guidance from financial experts like Ed and Jose, be sure to join us for the MoneyShow Masters Symposium Las Vegas, set for Aug. 1-3, 2024 at the Paris Las Vegas.

Boris Schlossberg is Co-Founder of BKForex.com, as well as a long-time commentator on currency market trends. In this MoneyShow MoneyMasters Podcast episode, we take a trip around the forex world, talking about forces driving the dollar, the yen, the Chinese yuan, and other world currencies. Boris starts by discussing his expectations for Federal Reserve policy, the impact of the wealth effect on the U.S. economy, and where the greenback stands vis-à-vis the other majors. He explains why the Japanese are fighting a “hopeless battle” by intervening heavily to support the 160 dollar-yen level – and also why chatter about the collateral damage of unwinding yen carry trades is overblown.Next, we cover the Chinese yuan devaluation, how it's helping crank up China's export machine again, but why a key negative side effect could prompt Chinese officials to push back. The conversation then pivots to the outlook for alternative stores of value like gold AND how pricing dynamics in the oil market (interestingly enough) are impacting the precious metal. Boris also outlines why he thinks it'll be a choppy summer for stocks...but why once THIS happens, equities could get back on track.Finally, Boris expounds on the explosion in retail prop trading. He believes it's a positive development – provided traders take the time to educate themselves and practice by paper trading before diving headlong into the markets with real money. Boris closes by previewing his presentation on the prop trading phenomenon at the MoneyShow Masters Symposium Las Vegas, set for Aug. 1-3, 2024 at the Paris Las Vegas.

Danielle Shay @traderdanielle is Vice President of Options at Simpler Trading, as well as chief commentator on the trader education website www.fivestartrader.com. In this MoneyShow MoneyMasters Podcast episode, she joins me for a deep dive discussion on options trading tactics and stock market trends.Danielle first covers the loss of momentum in sectors like technology and financials over the last few weeks. She notes how high expectations were heading into Q1 earnings...but how company executives like JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM) CEO Jamie Dimon have shared more muted outlooks on their operations. In tech, she says: “We knew the crazy train wasn't going to go on forever” in stocks like Super Micro Computer Inc. (SMCI) and Nvidia Corp. (NVDA). But as long as one key sector – and an ETF that tracks it – holds up, she thinks there's still a shot we go higher over the longer term. We also discuss energy, gold, and profit opportunities in commodity stocks.The rest of the conversation focuses on Danielle's specialty: Options trading tactics and techniques. She explains how and why she focuses on pattern recognition in general and “the squeeze” in particular. She covers how to profit from sentiment extremes, using a recent series of real-life Tesla Inc. (TSLA) trades as examples. Plus, she discusses options spread trading – and why options butterflies are particularly useful to her. Finally, Danielle shares a sneak peek of what she'll teach attendees at the MoneyShow Masters Symposium Las Vegas, set for Aug. 1-3, 2024 at the Paris Las Vegas.

Hey everyone! A few weeks ago I caught up with my friend Mike Larson over at a Moneyshow event in Sarasota. It was right around the Bitcoin ETF approval and he invited me onto his show. What a pleasure being on another show with a terrific podcaster who knows his stuff. He got me excited so I got my friend Bobby Lee who started the first Asian Bitcoin exchange, BTC China, to join me on a panel at Moneyshow Las Vegas in a few weeks from now. Bobby runs Balet right now, a Bitcoin company and he's into poker like me. Who knows what fun well get into. Anyways, enjoy the show! --- Charlie Shrem is an American entrepreneur and long-time fixture in the cryptocurrency industry. A founding member of the Bitcoin Foundation, he is also general partner of Druid Ventures, editor of the Crypto Investor Network, and host of The Charlie Shrem Show Podcast. In this fascinating interview, Charlie covers several major developments in the Bitcoin and cryptocurrency space – including those most important to both private and public investors. As Charlie noted in a recent Tweet: “THE FLOOD IS COMING. Prepare now.” That's because the mainstreaming of Bitcoin and developments in Decentralized Finance (DeFi) are unleashing a wave of innovation and investment. For instance, he believes crypto could be used to improve AI technology by incentivizing the sharing of data in real time. We also discuss Real World Assets (RWAs) and how tokenized securities can bring liquidity and freer trading to formerly illiquid assets. And we talk about how startups are trying to help unlock “locked” Bitcoin for people, but in ways that don't require them giving up control of their keys to a third party or exchange. The discussion then pivots to the recent mass approval of Bitcoin ETFs, and what the involvement of more mainstream investors and institutional money in the market will mean. We talk about key regulatory developments and how steps Washington takes in the next couple of years could actually HELP the industry rather than HARM it. Charlie then discusses the differences between some of the more (and less) attractive Bitcoin ETFs. And he names several publicly traded companies that investors can look into if they want to profit in the crypto space. Finally, we conclude with a discussion of what Charlie plans to cover at the MoneyShow/TradersEXPO Las Vegas, set for Feb. 21-23 at the Paris Las Vegas resort.

Mark Mahaney is senior managing director and head of Internet research at Evercore ISI. His colleague James West is senior managing director and partner, and a specialist on the energy sector. In this double-length MoneyShow MoneyMasters Podcast segment, these industry titans weigh in on the state of Big Tech, Big Oil, the energy transition, the key forces driving tech stocks in 2024, and much more. Mark kicks things off by laying out his case for being “Compound Constructive” in the tech sector, even as he says we likely won't see the kind of “once in a decade opportunity” we had there in 2023. He goes on to share his bullish theses on advertising spending, digital advertising effectiveness, cloud computing, and subscription entertainment pricing. He then shares his four top tech sector picks. James takes his turn at the microphone next to discuss trends in the traditional oil and gas industries as well as the clean energy arena. He covers the concepts of “energy poverty” and “energy abundance,” the growing demand for electricity driven in part by tech-linked consumption, and the difference between an energy “revolution” and an energy “evolution” – as well as what impacts those will have on sector companies and investors over the next few years. He then lays out a bullish case for a handful of oil services firms active in the international markets, as well as a trio of software, integrator, and rooftop solar plays in clean energy. Plus, James discusses important topics on the energy transition front, from carbon capture and storage to battery/energy storage to hydrogen and its potential applications in things like steel and cement manufacturing. And he recaps the geopolitical and political forces that could impact energy supply and pricing.Finally, Mark and James provide a preview of what they plan to discuss at the MoneyShow/TradersEXPO Las Vegas, set for Feb. 21-23 at the Paris Las Vegas resort.

Carley Garner is senior commodity market strategist and broker at DeCarley Trading. In this wide-ranging MoneyShow MoneyMasters Podcast segment, she shares her outlook on several commodity and other markets. We start by discussing all the “Black Swans” that have impacted resources in the last few years, as well as why Carley expects things to settle down somewhat in 2024. She goes on to discuss pricing, production, and geopolitical trends in crude oil...the reasons why select agricultural commodities could be attractive...and whether, when, and how gold might finally break out to convincing new highs. We later pivot to a discussion on the U.S. dollar and Federal Reserve policy, technical indicators that suggest Treasury yields could fall (yes, FALL) quite a bit over time, and what Carley expects to see happen in stocks once the end-of-2023/beginning-of-2024 volatility cools. Finally, Carley provides a preview of what she'll discuss with attendees at the 2024 MoneyShow/TradersEXPO Las Vegas, set for Feb. 21-23 at the Paris Las Vegas.

Keith Fitz-Gerald is Principal at the Fitz-Gerald Group, as well as a long-time market analyst, researcher, writer, and commentator. In this inaugural MoneyShow MoneyMasters Podcast segment for 2024, Keith explains why investors should NOT give up on Artificial Intelligence (AI) or “Big Tech” this year, even after such a strong 2023 for both. He adds that people should take a broader view of the AI revolution, including how it will permeate many other industries outside of tech (with healthcare and pharmaceuticals just two of them) – and invest accordingly.Keith goes on to talk about the outlook for Federal Reserve policy in 2024, and how markets will likely react to the end of the Fed hiking cycle. Plus, he shares his opinion on why investors should stay focused on the bullish big picture, while not letting Wall Street pick their pockets during short-term pullbacks. He then offers his take on digital currencies, Bitcoin, and key crypto market developments. And after almost hitting the nail on the proverbial head with his year-end 2023 S&P 500 target, he lays out his case for why the benchmark index should rise to 5,100-5,200 by the end of 2024.Finally, Keith gives a sneak peek of what he'll discuss at the 2024 MoneyShow/TradersEXPO Las Vegas, set for Feb. 21-23, 2024, at the Paris Las Vegas.

Jim Bianco is President and Macro Strategist for Bianco Research, LLC. In this interview – recorded from the floor of our MoneyShow Investment Masters Symposium Sarasota – he outlines the good news...the better news...and the “not so good” news about higher interest rates. The long-time financial markets and policy expert explains that investors, governments, companies, borrowers, and retirees will all see different impacts from this new “normal” environment. In his view, it's not a “doom and gloom” world – even as there will be some clear winners and losers from a return to 2% “real” rates and 5%-6% nominal ones. Jim goes on to discuss the other ways the economic backdrop has changed, including the newfound power labor has relative to company managements. He then pivots to the market and investment implications of these long-term, big-picture shifts. Among them: The “Index Era” will gradually fade, while active management and quality stock picking will prove increasingly rewarding. Stated another way, the markets might generate “milquetoast” returns. But investors willing to put in the work and identify key winners in sectors like technology or energy could generate much stronger ones.

Ralph Acampora is known as the “Godfather of Technical Analysis” thanks to his half-century of experience on Wall Street. Katie Stockton is a Chartered Market Technician (CMT) and founder and managing partner of Fairlead Strategies, LLC. In this interview – recorded from the floor of our MoneyShow Investment Masters Symposium Sarasota in early December – the two top technicians tackle the 2024 outlook for stocks, bonds, precious metals, and more.Katie leads off with a discussion of why she's constructive on equities, but why she needs to see a confirmed upside breakout and improving breadth to get more bullish. She explains why there has been a difference between how the stock market LOOKS and how it FEELS – covering mega-cap technology outperformance, the first signs of sector rotation in Q4 2023, and which two groups she's watching to see if that move has legs. She later discusses why interest rates should trend lower in H1 2024, supporting equities, and shares her technical take on gold after it tested all-time highs. Finally, Katie highlights three stocks that look to be bullishly breaking out of basing patterns.For his part, Ralph talks about the extraordinarily powerful bottoming action he identified in October 2022 – and why it helped signal a big bull run was coming. While he feels parts of the market like technology are tired, he's still constructive on stocks. His key comment? “Rotation is the lifeline of the bull market”...and he's starting to see money migrate to groups like financials, travel and leisure, and even REITs. Ralph goes on to highlight one subsector he's extremely positive on, as well one group he's watching closely but “can't pound the table on just yet.”Be sure to check out our 2024 MoneyShow/TradersEXPO Las Vegas, set for Feb. 21-23, 2024, at the Paris Las Vegas.

Liz Ann Sonders is Managing Director and Chief Investment Strategist at Charles Schwab & Co. In this interview – recorded from the floor of our MoneyShow Investment Masters Symposium Sarasota, she expands on several of her key investment themes. Specifically, Liz Ann explains why she calls this the “Temperamental Era” and what her “Rolling Recession” thesis means for investors. In short, the 2009-2020 period was the outlier...not the new norm...for the economy and markets, and investors need to adapt accordingly. Liz Ann then pivots to her outlook for Federal Reserve policy in 2024, her take on the “Magnificent Seven” stock phenomenon, and why focusing on stock FACTORS (versus just SECTORS) is so important. Finally, she discusses the emergence of geopolitical “blocs” and how they will influence markets over time – as well as why ACTIVE (rather than PASSIVE) investing will become more important in the years ahead.Don't forget to check out our 2024 MoneyShow/TradersEXPO Las Vegas, set for Feb. 21-23, 2024, at the Paris Las Vegas.

Dan Ives is managing director and senior equity analyst at Wedbush Securities, as well as a technology sector specialist with a quarter-century of experience in the space. In this interview, he calls 2024 a “table pounding period” for tech, with the sector likely rising another 20% for the year and “Magnificent Seven” names tacking on as much as 40%. In fact, he labels this a “1995 moment” with Artificial Intelligence (AI) probably “the biggest transformational tech trend we've seen in 30 years.” Dan goes on to explain that AI spending currently accounts for only 1% of IT budgets, but that it should climb to 8% to 10% in the next year. That will help drive well-known “AI stocks” like Microsoft (MSFT) and NVIDIA (NVDA) higher, with gains spreading to “second-, third-, and fourth-derivative” names over time. He then discusses other sector drivers like increased digital advertising and cybersecurity spending, and notes that a strong holiday shopping season should help consumer tech plays like Apple (AAPL). We wrap up with a discussion of the future for tech IPOs, the impact of Tesla's (TSLA) Cybertruck rollout on its shares, and the lessons that founders, boards of directors, and public and private sector investors can take away from the OpenAI/Sam Altman saga. Finally, he gives a sneak peek of what he'll discuss at the 2024 MoneyShow/TradersEXPO Las Vegas, set for Feb. 21-23, 2024, at the Paris Las Vegas.

Jon and Pete Najarian are the co-founders of Market Rebellion, long-time options market educators, and authors of the new book, It's Not an Option. In this episode featuring material recorded at the 2023 MoneyShow/TradersEXPO Orlando, the Najarian Brothers chat about the risk of recession, the outlook for Federal Reserve policy, and the best options market moves for traders in this market. They believe the Fed will push the economy into a recession, but that it should be a shallow one that doesn't last too long. They also caution that tax loss selling, lackluster earnings, and geopolitical problems or an energy-price spike could put pressure on markets into year-end.Next, they explain why focusing on shorter-term timeframes is the ideal choice when trading options. They counsel traders to have the discipline to sell when they rack up profits of 100% or more on options plays. And they explain how rolling down to lower strike prices with put options trades – or higher strikes with call options trades – often makes sense when trades are working.

Glauber “Pro” Contessoto – @THEDOGECOINMILLIONAIRE – is the lead subject of the educational and entertaining documentary film This is Not Financial Advice from @Optimist and co-directors Chris Temple and Zach Ingrasci. We screened the movie at the 2023 MoneyShow/TradersEXPO Orlando – and I had the chance to sit down with Pro from the event to talk about his journey. In the interview, Pro explains how he first got involved with cryptocurrencies – and why he gambled his life savings on Dogecoin, which started out as a joke in the crypto world. He goes on to talk about the rise and fall of the crypto market, the impact of potential Bitcoin ETF approvals, and how investors can navigate the market as “Big Money” gets involved.The conversation shifts to similarities between stocks and crypto, as well as why focusing on a mix of safer coins and riskier plays make sense to him. Plus, Pro talks about how he hopes to continue as an educator in the space – and further the film's mission of financial market literacy by helping kids learn to invest, avoid pitfalls, and build generational wealth.Join us at our next MoneyShow/TradersExpo February 21-23, 2024 at the Paris Las Vegas.

We're also talking about Carrie Fisher's Hollywood Walk of Fame star; McDonald's Big Mac sauce; Morgan Wallen's cancelled concert lawsuit; the R-rated Christopher Robin series; Rick Ross' offer to the out of work Don Lemon; what Cinco de Mayo really means; the Charmin bear's hoodie; Wendy's canned chili; the Stanley Cup playoff game we went to; Aerosmith announces farewell tour; Paris Las Vegas grows; AppleTV's “The Morning Show” grows; and, much more pop culture news and views from the week.

In what we claim is our briefest episode, ever, we talk about a former Bally's hotel tower, the Jubilee tower, being absorbed into Paris Las Vegas. As the kids say, serious scoop. There's also some news and a listicle, but we can't do everything well. We are a generalist. Just listen, then go to Twitter and give us a passionate opinion we can ignore because we are very busy and important.
