We only have a few weeks left in 2024. And man, it has been a banner year
for the U.S. stock market. The S&P 500 is on track to log one of its best
years in the last couple decades.

So now the big question is, what’s next?

Well, there’s always a bull market out there somewhere.

On today’s new SteadyTrade Podcast, we’re looking ahead to find that bull
market. And we’re unveiling our favorite investment themes for 2025.

The overall market remains in a strong bullish uptrend. But that doesn’t
mean every sector is primed to outperform next year.

That’s why it’s so important to position your portfolio now to get exposure
to the strongest trends.

We discuss everything you need to pay attention to from the “electrification of everything” trend to quantum computing.

We heard you…

We received some positive feedback from you, our listeners. So we’ve decided to do another “five-on-five” podcast as requested.

You know the drill. On today’s new episode of the SteadyTrade Podcast, Tim Bohen and Matt McCall discuss five hot topics for five minutes each.

The last month of the year is typically strong for stocks – especially so during an election year and one in which stocks are already up big heading into December.

So what should you be paying attention to right now?

One sector that might be worth watching is the financials. It’s currently trading at one of the biggest discounts to the overall market in two decades. In fact, the financials space is actually cheaper than it was during the great financial crisis.

Meanwhile, electric vehicle giant Tesla (TSLA) is getting closer to rolling out its next full self-driving (FSD) technology. According to CEO Elon Musk, we could see FSD by mid-2025.

But that’s not the only reason why Tesla could be a five-bagger in the next decade… 

You’ll want to tune in to find out why.

We suspect many of you participated in some holiday shopping over the weekend. The figures have been tallied, so we break down the numbers of one of the biggest shopping days of the year.

Finally, can you guess the six countries that are expected to be the most populous in 2075? I bet you can’t…

We talk about all that and more on this week’s podcast. Click here to get the details.

It’s the day before Thanksgiving – so we wanted to take some time to talk about the things we’re grateful for on this new episode of the SteadyTrade Podcast.

Of course, we’re thankful for our health, happiness, and families. But we’re also thankful for what’s ahead – specifically the opportunities available to use as we head into 2025.

So in the spirit of Thanksgiving, we each made a list of four such opportunities. We didn’t share our lists with each other before the show. So you’ll see our genuine, live reactions to each other’s lists.

As it turns out, we had some overlapping ideas – one of which was quantum computing. This groundbreaking, early-stage innovation has the potential to become the next big artificial intelligence (AI) moment in the stock market.

Some of the other opportunities we discuss include DOGE (not the cryptocurrency), “anti-Trump” sectors, the continued AI rally, and the future of health care. You’ll have to tune in to find out whose lists those topics fell on, though.

These are some big topics you won’t want to miss.

It has been a wild couple weeks for investors and the market alike.
Because of that, sometimes it’s a smart idea to just take a step back… reflect on what has happened… and then plan for the future.

So on this week’s SteadyTrade Podcast, Tim Bohen and Matt McCall do just that. They dive into five important topics that we believe could shape the market well into 2025.

They’ll tackle a topic that’s at the forefront of most investors’ minds lately… Is the post-election stock market rally over? Tim and Matt first break down where the markets are today. Then, they discuss why president-elect Trump’s plan should lead to higher prices in the coming years.

Meanwhile, bitcoin (BTC-USD) is holding above $91,000 and could be on the verge of hitting six-figures for the first time ever. No surprise there… The two have been calling for bitcoin hitting $100k for a long time. And we could finally see it happen before the end of this year.

Tim and Matt also discuss why small-cap stocks look like they may outperform in 2025. And talk about why they need to keep an eye on the bond market next year.
Finally, they take a look at five technology stocks that one big firm believes will be the big winners in 2025.

It’s a five-for-five podcast, folks… We’ll cover five topics for five minutes each.

The New York Stock Exchange’s (NYSE) newly proposed hours. The exchange currently offers trading from 4 a.m. to 8 p.m. Eastern time from Monday through Friday. But the NYSE just proposed to extend trading hours from 1:30 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. Eastern time.

That means the stock exchange would only be closed two hours per weekday.

This could have major implications for traders. More trading hours in the day means there’s more time to enter and exit short-term trades. And you may be surprised to hear what this means for traders.

Meanwhile, five of the “Magnificent Seven” tech stocks are reporting earnings this week. Oil had its worst day in two years after various bomb strikes in the Middle East. And more companies are looking to expand stock trading to a 24hour day.

It’s a packed week with many important headlines on deck. So Tim Bohen and Matt McCall decided to focus a few minutes of today’s new episode of the SteadyTrade Podcast on these topics.

Recent action in the world’s largest cryptocurrency – bitcoin (BTC-USD) – has captured the attention of both big institutions and the average investor.

Through the six days ending October 18, a total of $2.4 billion in net inflows came into the bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs). This has increased the total assets under management for spot-bitcoin ETFs to more than $80 billion.

On today’s new episode of the SteadyTrade Podcast, Tim Bohen and Matt McCall discuss the latest bitcoin action and what it means for the entire crypto market heading into both the election and 2025.

We’re now less than two weeks from Election Day. Many folks in the financial world view bitcoin as a proxy for former President Donald Trump.  If that’s true, it’s more positive news for Trump’s campaign.

But bitcoin isn’t the only crypto worth watching heading into the election. Tim and Matt share the names of two smaller “altcoins”that you may want to keep an eye on if the broad market breaks out in the coming months.

One is a direct competitor to Ethereum (ETH-USD), and it has broken out in the last few days. The second is an interesting way to play the crypto market while also generating income.

Finally, they reveal when they believe bitcoin will reach the $100,000 milestone, and it may be sooner than you think.

We’re less than three weeks away from finding out who will become the next president of the United States in one of the tightest races in history.

That fact that we don’t have a good sense of who will win just 20 days out from Election Day should have investors on edge. But considering the S&P 500 is trading near all-time highs, that doesn’t appear to be the case.

We hope you’re still preparing your portfolio for either a Trump or Harris victory, though…

On today’s new episode of the SteadyTrade Podcast, Tim Bohen and Matt McCall share their opinions on the potential outcome and discuss the sectors and stocks you should be considering before the results are announced.

They also highlight a stock that may be a proxy of who is about to become the next president. It has been flashing good news for one candidate in particular over the last two weeks.

The term “10-baggers” is thrown around often in the financial industry. 

It’s not commonplace to be able to identify a stock that will eventually go up 10X in value. But it is achievable. 

In the investment world, snagging a 10-bagger is equivalent to receiving a massive trophy you can put on your mantel. 

One of the most recent and notable 10-baggers in the market is chipmaker Nvidia (NVDA). The face of the artificial intelligence (AI) bull market has rocketed higher over the past two years. 

Nvidia’s stock hit a low of $10.81 in October 2022. Now, it’s trading around $133per share after hitting a high of $140 in June. 

But Nvidia is far from alone. Plenty of under-the-radar stocks have reached similarly high levels in the market.

Matt is flying solo on today’s new episode of the SteadyTrade Podcast, and he’s diving into the world 10-baggers. Matt shares what to look for to find the next 10X winner – including various qualities of prior big winners from his resume, how a 10-bagger can change your investment life, and what kinds of stocks have the potential to grow that large.

The third quarter is officially in the books, and the best-performing sector of the year so far has been utility stocks. 

This often considered “boring” sector is up 30% year to date and trading near all-time highs. It just logged its best quarter since 2003. And it’s currently on pace to have its best year since 2000. 

So on today’s new episode of the SteadyTrade Podcast, Tim Bohen and Matt McCall dive into what’s driving these stocks to new highs. They also explain why utilities are a great way to gain exposure to some of the biggest trends in the market today – like artificial intelligence (AI) and nuclear energy.

Matt reveals some of his favorite names in the utility sector – including the largest provider of nuclear energy and a major water utility company. He also shares a way to profit as more utility poles pop up across North America.

Then, they tackle another big story this week…

We’re willing to bet most folks don’t think too much about energy drinks as an investment idea.

But what if we told you one energy-drink maker was one of the best-performing stocks over the last 30 years?

Monster Beverage (MNST) makes the sugary-caffeinated drinks that many people have come to love. It went public in August 1995, and since then has been the third-best performer in the S&P 500. The only two stocks with better returns are Nvidia (NVDA) and Amazon (AMZN).

A $10,000 investment in Monster’s stock in 1995 would be worth nearly $20 million today.

But it’s not the only consumer-staple stock that has been flying under the radar recently. The sector has been leading the way this year, and Tim Bohen and Matt McCall have all the details on today’s new episode of the SteadyTrade Podcast.

Nvidia and artificial intelligence (AI) stocks may have captured the market’s attention, but as you can see below, the consumer staples industry has more than doubled the return of the tech sector here in 2024.

They’re performing well as a whole. But on the podcast, Tim and Matt take a closer look at two niche areas within the broader sector that could be the next big winners…

Did you know that the hydration-drink market is set to nearly double over the next decade? I share some of the stocks you need to watch in this booming industry.

Plus, more young people are choosing to drink less alcohol and focus more on their health. That makes the healthy-eating trend another niche area that folks should pay attention to – and we give you the names of a few small caps that may be worth adding to your watch list today.

Many investors would argue that we’re in the midst of a sizable market pullback.

In reality, the S&P 500 is trading just 3% below its all-time high.
Clearly, it’s not as bad as most folks think.

On today’s episode of the SteadyTrade Podcast, Tim Bohen and Matt McCall discuss what’s going on in the market and detail how to take advantage of it from both a long-term perspective as well as a day-trading perspective.

Is the pullback in large tech stocks a great buying opportunity?

And should investors consider diversifying out of well-known tech stocks and into other sectors of the market –even small-cap stocks?

Today, we’re doing something new and exciting…

On this episode of the SteadyTrade Podcast, Tim Bohen and Matt McCall are taking your questions live on air. 

They have both been in this game a long time. They’re passionate about what they do and want to share our knowledge with the universe. But they didn’t put this show together just for each other. It’s for you – our loyal subscribers. 

They cover a lot on today’s show… 

Matt and Tim talk about what type of trading (if any) an investor with a full-time job should consider. As you know, Tim is a day trader while Matt has a longer-term focus and a background in swing trading. So they both share their unique perspective on how to become successful in the world of trading.

Then, they discuss a fun topic (that may have gotten a little political) that has to do with the increase in the minimum wage. This is a subject both are passionate about. But I’m sure there will be plenty of people nodding their heads in agreement and a few that think I’m terribly wrong.

At the end of the show, they each answer the “island question”… 

What’s one investment you’d be comfortable buying today and not touching for 10 years?

Matt used to ask this question of every guest that came on his previous podcast, and we always loved hearing their answers. Today, Tim and Matt are in the hot seat. Matt cheated a bit and gave two stocks. And Tim shares a pick that could be on many people’s watchlist.

Tune in to this exciting show – and to find out our three island stock picks.

Whether you’re bullish or bearish on the stock market today is a topic we can always debate. What’s not worth debating is that broad volatility has been increasing over the past couple months…

The S&P 500 fell 2.3% on July 24. That marked the first time the index fell 2% in a single day since February 2023 – its longest such streak since 2007. The S&P 500 then came within 0.3% of correction territory on August 5. And today, it’s back within striking distance of all-time highs.

Tim and Matt remain bullish on stocks over the long term. But that doesn’t mean they’re ignoring the fact that several known catalysts could continue to increase volatility in the months ahead. That’s our focus on today’s new episode of the SteadyTrade Podcast.

First up is the Federal Reserve meeting on September 18. While the odds of what exactly the central bank will do have shifted a bit recently, it’s a near certainty that it’ll begin a new cycle of cutting interest rates. The presidential election takes place in early November. And then there’s the fact that September is historically one of the worst months of the year.

Those are the things we know for sure.

Meanwhile, Tim Bohen talks about a day trader’s view of the volatility. What does it all mean for traders? Plus, he lays out how to spot potential moves in stocks tied to the catalysts mentioned above.

This is an episode anyone invested in the market – whether you’re a trader or long-term investor – should tune in to.

The summer months typically lack big headlines in the stock market. But that hasn’t been the case this year… 

On today’s new episode of the SteadyTrade Podcast, Tim Bohen and Matt McCall dissect some of the hottest stories of the last week and what they mean for your portfolio. 

They have talked a lot about Bitcoin (BTC-USD) lately, and Tim and Matt continue that conversation from last weekend’s Bitcoin 2024 conference in Nashville, and share more insight into what former President Donald Trump’s participation means for cryptos. Plus, how it will all affect the election.

Elsewhere in the market, we’re in the midst of second-quarter earnings season. Contrary to what you may be hearing and reading, the numbers have been solid. 

Blended earnings growth for the year-over-year period is 9.8%, and the full-year figure is expected to come in at 11%. They dive into the numbers on the podcast and discuss how stocks are reacting. What we’re seeing could be a good sign for the long-term health of the market.

Then, have you experienced the “Zyn Craze” that has been taking place – especially within the younger generations? Tim and Matt aren’t young, per say, but they use the nicotine pouches regularly. So today, they discuss the stock that has been the biggest winner as this trend has boomed.

Finally, they begin sharing the names of six stocks at the top of their watch lists. All are small caps that will benefit from our thesis that smaller stocks will outperform their larger counterparts in the coming months…

It has been a few days since President Joe Biden’s announcement that he’s dropping out of the 2024 presidential election rocked the world. That has given us some time to think about the implications for the election, the stock market, and the future of our country.

On today’s new episode of the SteadyTrade Podcast, Tim Bohen and Matt McCall share their views of the historic decision. And more importantly, they discuss what it all means for your investments.

A new candidate will now face off against former President Donald Trump. That will have a major impact on both the outcome of the election and what the next four years and beyond will look like for Americans.As of today, it looks like it will be a showdown between Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris. But with the way things have gone so far, nothing is set in stone.

We should expect volatility in the stock market in the near term. But the big question is which sectors will benefit or be hurt by the candidates’ potential agendas. We’ve heard from Trump a lot over the last decade, and we’ve already experienced four years of him in D.C. That means we have a bit more certainty as to what he’ll do if he wins re-election.

We haven’t heard from Harris nearly as much. And she doesn’t have the track record for us to decipher what a potential victory would look like over the longer term.

So on the podcast, Matt and Tim focus on what a potential second Trump presidency would look like and what sectors would be affected. They discuss everything from the positives for fossil fuels, cryptos, manufacturing, and small caps to the negatives for renewable energy, electric vehicles, and China-based stocks.

The healthcare industry as we know it today will be unrecognizable a decade from now…

Several technological breakthroughs are coming together to upend one of the largest industries in the world. And one of the biggest culprits is artificial intelligence (AI).

On today’s episode of the SteadyTrade Podcast, Tim Bohen and Matt McCall dive into some of the biggest implications that AI will have on the future of the healthcare industry.

It currently takes about 10 years and more than $1 billion to take a drug from the discovery phase to full FDA approval. That is incredibly costly and timely. But what makes the process even worse is that only about one in 10 potential drugs make it all the way through that cycle.

Think about all the data that’s created throughout the drug discovery process…

That makes it the perfect niche sector to be disrupted by the power of AI.

On the podcast, Tim and Matt share their big-picture thoughts regarding where we are in the AI-drug discovery stocks cycle and where the opportunities lie today. Several small companies are working to meld AI with the current drug-discovery process, and you can be sure they give you a few names to add to your watch list.

There are several old adages on Wall Street that teach buying when the masses are panicking. Investors should be taking their advice today… Bitcoin (BTC-USD) rallied to all-time highs above $73,000 in March – pushing the Crypto Fear & Greed Index to a “severe greed” reading at 90. Today, the coin is trading at $57,000 and the index is down to a “severe fear” reading of 26. That’s a level it hasn’t seen since 2023 when Bitcoin was worth just $17,000.

On today’s new episode of the SteadyTrade Podcast, Tim Bohen and Matt McCall discuss in detail why Bitcoin has fallen from all-time highs into a bear market.

The good news is that they expect it may be short-lived…

Several potential catalysts on the horizon could send Bitcoin and the broad crypto market higher – including interest rate cuts at the September Federal Reserve meeting, a Trump win in the presidential election, and an SEC approval of an Ethereum (ETH-USD) spot exchange-traded fund (ETF). These catalysts combined with extreme fear levels indicate that now could be the right time to start adding exposure to this asset class.

So what’s our plan?

At the start of every year, analysts and talking heads put out their predictions for the year ahead.

But over the years, most prognosticators are pretty bad at predicting what things will look like just 12 months in the future.

For example, six months ago nearly everyone was calling for several interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve. Yet here we are in July and the central bank has yet to begin its easing cycle. In fact, odds are that we’ll only see one interest rate cut before the end of the year.

On today’s episode of the SteadyTrade Podcast, Tim Bohen and Matt McCall dive into the first half of 2024 and discuss how things played out compared to forecasts. They provide expectations for the economy, the presidential election, and the stock market through the remainder of the year.

And of course, mention a few stocks worth adding to your watch list.

Last week something happened that has only occurred 13 times in the past 20 years. And the results were in-line with what history told us was going to happen.

On June 12, the Federal Reserve held a meeting and made an announcement on interest rates on the same day that the Consumer Price Index (CPI) – inflation reading – was released.

Considering the CPI is arguably the most important number in regard to the Fed’s decision on interest rates, it was a wild day. Stocks closed up big even though there was a late-day pullback. The rally was fueled by a lower-than-expected inflation reading.

On today’s Steady Trade podcast, Tim Bohen and Matt McCall discuss the inflation number and what to expect from the Fed in the future. More specifically we will delve into the industry of new and used vehicles. I know that may sound like an odd topic, but after a pandemic-surge in car prices, the last few quarters have seen used car prices in particular plummet.

Make sure you tune in to hear about a stock that is up 30X in less than two years and could still be a buying opportunity!

Dear reader,

The average U.S. consumer spends 216 hours per year in a vehicle traveling to and from work. That’s the equivalent of 27 additional eight-hour workdays on top of a person’s already busy schedule.

Imagine what someone could do with all that extra time.

We may soon be able to find out… Because it’s only a matter of time before cars are able to drive themselves.

Car manufacturers – specifically Tesla’s (TSLA) Elon Musk – have had grandiose ideas about the future of autonomous vehicles (AVs) for several years. But reality is finally here, and it can wholly be attributed to artificial intelligence (AI).

This convergence of technologies is the focus of today’s new episode of SteadyTrade Podcast.

According to a 2022 Pew Research Center survey, only 37% of Americans would get into an AV if given the chance. That’s understandable. But to invest in innovation, you must adopt the mindset of a futurist. You must consider what the world will look like in five, 10, even 20 years.

In the podcast, we talk about what Matt believes will be the greatest use case for self-driving vehicles – “robotaxis.” These are essentially fleets of AVs that operate as taxis or ridesharing services. And it’s believed that they’ll generate $28 trillion in enterprise value over the next five to 10 years.

Matt and Tim talk about the two key drivers fueling the robotaxi trend – cost and safety. It’s estimated that AVs will eliminate 99.9% of the crashes currently being caused by human error.

And of course, they highlight the companies currently leading the charge… 

Many of Tesla’s vehicles are already semi-autonomous. And Waymo – a self-driving car spinoff of Alphabet (GOOGL) – is operating an autonomous rideshare service in Phoenix. 

But those are far from the only AV businesses worth investing in. Automakers, semiconductor companies, auto parts businesses, urban mobility leaders, and even commodities are all fair game to become the ultimate winners of the shift to the future of transportation.

This is an inevitable trend that every opportunistic investor should know about.

GLP-1 medications are a hot topic right now. Drugs like Novo Nordisk’s (NVO) Ozempic and Eli Lilly’s (LLY) Mounjaro are not only transforming individuals’ weight loss and overall health… they’re also presenting significant economic opportunities.

On today’s episode of the SteadyTrade Podcast, Tim Bohen and Matt McCall explore the revolutionary impact of these medications.
Unlike traditional weight-loss methods – which can be challenging due to people’s busy lifestyles – GLP-1 medications lower the barriers to achieving a healthier weight and offer a more accessible and effective solution. This boosts the user’s physical health and productivity.

The economic impact of these drugs has been immense.

According to Goldman Sachs, we can expect to see a significant boost to the economy – not just through sales but via enhanced productivity. It’s a self-fulfilling cycle.

As a result, the market potential for these drugs is massive. Drug manufacturers like Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly will see substantial growth. In fact, Novo has already become the largest company in European as a result.

But these two companies are far from the only investment opportunities in the GLP-1 medication space…

Smaller players like Viking Therapeutics (VKTX) and Structure Therapeutics (GPCR) are worth keeping an eye on. In fact, Viking’s rise from its penny-stock beginning illustrates the potential for high returns in this sector.

We also talk about the importance of investing in supply-chain businesses like McKesson (MCK) and Cencora (COR). These firms play a crucial role in the distribution of these medications and provide another avenue to capitalize on their growth.

There are also secondary opportunities to explore – like the increased demand for protein among GLP-1 medication users.

There’s no question that these drugs offer a promising solution to the obesity epidemic and present significant economic benefits through increased productivity and market growth. With a wealth of investment potential in pharmaceutical giants, supply-chain companies, and protein supplement producers, the impact of GLP-1 medications will be felt across a variety of sectors.

This makes it an exciting area to watch for both health enthusiasts and investors.

Welcome back to the SteadyTrade Podcast!

We’re excited to freshen things up and introduce a new co-host – Matt McCall.

After a few years’ hiatus, we’re ready to embark on this new chapter and blend our expertise to bring you insights into the trends and sectors driving the stock market.

If you’re wondering why the podcast was paused, we felt it was time to step back while still at our peak. But our passion for podcasting never wavered. And now we’re back with renewed energy and focus… and a whole lot to talk about.

“Re-Introducing” Your Hosts:

  • Tim Bohen the leader trainer at StocksToTrade and is dedicated to making sophisticated trading tools accessible to everyday investors. Tim’s journey began with a tech company during the dial-up era. When he sold the firm, he set his focus on trading and mentoring.
  • Matt McCall began his career as a stockbroker. But his entrepreneurial spirit eventually led him to create and sell multiple businesses – including registered investment advisory Penn Financial Group. With more than 20 years in the business, you may recognize Matt from his time as a co-host of Fox Business or through his many investment newsletters and published books. It’s his focus on educating investors, having some fun, and making money in the market that makes him a perfect addition to this podcast.

In this new era, the SteadyTrade Podcast will shift away from daily stock picks to broader market discussions. We’ll blend short-term trading insights with long-term investment perspectives to offer a comprehensive view of the market.

We’re thrilled to have you on board!

Today’s Show:

The sudden emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) has been grabbing financial media headlines for more than a year now. Naturally, related stocks have taken off – with Nvidia (NVDA) now one of the largest companies in the world.

We’re in the very beginning stages of what we believe will be one of the biggest megatrends of our generation. And that means there is opportunity to seize here.

But other areas of the stock market are being overlooked as a result…

As AI technology engrains itself deeper into the everyday lives of companies and individuals, more data will generated. That means a lot more electricity will be required to collect and analyze all that data.

Global energy consumption has been stagnant in recent decades. But according to the International Energy Agency, that figure is expected to increase 165% by 2050. Northern Virginia – the hub of U.S. data centers – is likely to run out of reliable power by 2027.

That means the only way to keep the AI boom going is to upgrade the global electrical grid.

On today’s episode of the SteadyTrade Podcast, we dive into the investment opportunity being created by the convergence of AI and energy. We cover some of the biggest names in the space – including Nvidia and Super Micro Computer (SMCI) – as well as some of the smaller companies you likely haven’t heard or thought of.

Get your pencil and pad ready! It’s time for the first episode of our renewed Steady Podcast.
