This week, we\'re thrilled to welcome a brand-new guest to the\\xa0Stansberry Investor Hour... who happens to be the lead analyst for Stansberry Research\'s longest-running flagship publication: Alan Gula.\\xa0

But first, Dan and his co-host Corey discuss the latest hot-button topics: Big Tech\'s sweeping wave of layoffs, why media coverage of the "debt-ceiling crisis" is just "pure noise," the "cat-and-mouse game" of the lag effects of Federal Reserve policy, and whether there could be an encore to last year\'s bond-market beatdown.

Speaking of distressed investments... today\'s guest had a front-row seat to the financial crisis, as he was working Barclays Investment Bank\'s distressed-debt desk when Lehman Brothers filed for bankruptcy. Alan worked at some of Wall Street\'s biggest firms before joining Stansberry Research.\\xa0

"I think that any good recommendation has a good macro tailwind. And cycles are crucial from a macro standpoint," says Alan.\\xa0

But finding a winner requires more than just the right macroeconomic setup... As Alan states, it\'s one that "marries both the macro and the bottom-up fundamentals research." He dives deep into his bottom-up research process. And he also shares his No. 1 tip for successful investing.
