Dan and Corey kick things off by discussing Argentine President Javier Milei's incendiary
speech at the recent World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. They start by quoting
some passages from it and covering the main themes – from the negative consequences of
government intervention to potentially abolishing the central bank. After, they talk about
why this type of rhetoric from a politician would never fly in the U.S., even though it reflects
a lot of people's feelings.

Next, Stansberry Research Director of Research Matt Weinschenk joins the conversation and
elaborates on what type of investor he considers himself to be. He brings up value investing,
the importance of bottom-up business-quality analysis, and how he uses quantitative tools
to find the best businesses.

Matt then explains the "Stansberry Score," which ranks nearly 5,000 stocks from first to last.
It assigns each stock both an overall number and letter grade, plus letter grades for
financials, capital efficiency, and valuation. Investors can use it to check ratings on stocks
they may be interested in, or they can use it to find hidden gems. If you're interested in
learning more about this tool and trying it for free, you can check it out at

Matt also goes into detail on The Quant Portfolio. This new portfolio is fully optimized and
uses Stansberry Score data to evaluate each stock. Entirely using computers and algorithms,
it looks at the relationships between each stock and picks out the best ones that will work
together to provide the highest returns. And so far, it's blowing the market out of the water!
Matt emphasizes that in the past two years of live testing, The Quant Portfolio is up 20%,
while the market is only up 5.

Lastly, Matt talks all things econometrics – what it is, whether it's worth studying, and its
interplay with machine learning.
