In this week's Stansberry Investor Hour, Dan welcomes Greg Diamond back to the show. Greg is the editor of Ten Stock Trader, an advisory focused on trading using market analysis to find the best opportunities based on previous market patterns.

 

Greg kicks things off by sharing his theme for 2026: time. He looked at the inflection points in January and is looking at the upcoming ones in April and May. January saw both technology and financial stocks peak before declining. And while Greg believes these sectors are oversold and will correct themselves slightly, the decline will continue. He says that AI taking over is part of this trend, and unlike other "creative destruction" (like the transition from horse-drawn carriages to automobiles) trends in the past, this one is developing much faster. Greg says looking at time cycles and understanding them is essential to prepare for where the market could be heading next. (0:00)

 

Next, Greg discusses his thoughts on various commodities. He recently traded several positions in silver for wins before the metal's crash and is currently watching to see where it goes from here. He's not as optimistic on oil and natural gas due to the lack of information that investors have outside of OPEC, but he is looking for breakthroughs that could have an impact on the wider market. Copper is another resource that he's interested in, and there are several plays that he believes folks can make. But he says understanding what fuels these movements is more important than why they're occurring. (14:47)

 

Finally, Greg lists his current trades and where he thinks market volatility is heading. He can't delve too deeply to be fair to his subscribers, but he's preparing to be extremely aggressive in his trades over the next few months. Greg then states that he does his best trading when he ignores what everyone else is saying. He'd rather focus on his monitors and charts than allow himself to be persuaded by outside voices. (31:20)
