Season 3, Episode 6: Don’t Call Tech Stocks Overbought

Published March 18, 2021

With Shana Sissel, CIO, Spotlight Asset Group

Shana Sissel, chief investment officer of Spotlight Asset Group, joins the podcast to discuss her bullish outlook on technology stocks and other views on the markets.

Just because tech stocks might not be overbought (yet) doesn’t mean there aren’t sections of the markets that are frothy. Take SPACs for example. That is sure to end badly.

Sissel also has some views on working from home, why there aren’t more women in professional investing, GameStop, and which cities in the U.S. have the best pizza, among other things.

Season 3, Episode 5: The Case for Precious Metals Miners, With Sean Fieler, Equinox Partners

Published March 4, 2021

Sean Fieler, president and chief investment officer at hedge fund firm Equinox Partners, joins the podcast to make the case for an unloved part of the equity markets: gold and silver miners.

This case is based on several variables, starting with unprecedented fiscal and monetary policy that has marked this particular epoch in global financial markets. “The idea that gold and silver wouldn’t do well in that environment are totally at odds with financial history,” says Fieler.

It goes a lot further than this, of course. Fieler discusses the variables and even presents some favorite stocks.
