The Stock2Me Podcast

Stock2Me’s latest podcast features an insightful discussion with Matthew Tuttle, CEO of Tuttle Capital Management, an investment firm focused on providing innovative strategies while challenging Wall Street's institutional biases.

Tuttle opened the discussion by examining the appeal of memecoins relative to traditional stocks and ETFs, highlighting how this interest led Tuttle Capital to file for leveraged memecoin ETFs.

“I think everyone was aware of Bitcoin and crypto for the past few years, but, for most people, they really haven't had access to it. I'm not going to open up an account at a crypto exchange and try to trade crypto. That's just not what I'm used to,” he explained. “Eventually, we saw the advent of spot Bitcoin ETFs. The cool thing about ETFs is that they're an access product. They allow people to invest in things they otherwise couldn’t, and that opened the floodgates.”

“Now, we have a president who is rabidly pro-crypto. He’s got his own memecoin, as does his wife. I think you’re going to see a massive expansion beyond Bitcoin. We wanted to give investors access to that opportunity—to trade beyond Bitcoin and Ether. The crypto community is excited because it provides another way to invest without concerns over another FTX-type event. You can simply go on your Robinhood or Webull account and buy an ETF.”

Tuttle also discussed how advances in artificial intelligence are reshaping traditional investing.

“You want to look across different sectors—semiconductors, infrastructure, AI, healthcare—and we’re launching ETFs in most of those areas, using AI to select stocks and determine weightings. Today’s AI already makes traditional indexing and active management obsolete. In 10 minutes, I can do things with ChatGPT that would take an analyst at Goldman Sachs a week. That’s going to be a gamechanger.”

Stock2Me’s latest podcast features an insightful discussion with Seth Farbman, Chairman and President of VStock Transfer, a stock transfer firm serving private companies, IPOs and issuers listed on the NYSE American, NASDAQ and OTC Markets. 

Farbman began the discussion by explaining the unique ways that VStock Transfer supports companies during the IPO journey, as well as providing some tips to companies preparing to list. 

“VStock Transfer is unique, because we can do as much handholding or as little handholding as necessary. There's this misconception that, when a company is going public, the CEO has it all figured out. What I find is that, while they may be fantastic at running their company, the business of being a public company is an entirely different full-time job. That’s why we like to educate people about what's required.” 

“When going public, companies need to do a great job communicating with the shareholders and managing their expectations… It behooves a company to provide the shareholder base with the right updates, teach them how to transfer the shares electronically to their brokerage accounts or gift them to others, etc. In order to be successful, you've got to be consistent in your messaging. That's something that, in today's world, is expected.”

He also discussed current trends in the IPO market. 

“If I had to pinpoint a specific trend, I would say that, over the last six to nine months, we have seen a tremendous amount of interest from foreign issuers – companies in Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Japan. There's been a lot of late night and early morning Zoom conferences to speak to these teams. Looking to 2025, I think there's going to be an increased wave of foreign issuers looking to list on Nasdaq and the New York Stock Exchange, to tell their stories to the world.” 

Additionally, Seth highlighted how Sharemedia is addressing challenges in the investor communications space while sharing his personal business philosophies.

Stock2Me’s latest podcast features an insightful discussion with Chris King, Senior VP of Corporate Services at OTC Markets Group (OTCQX: OTCM), the largest U.S. stock market for international companies.

King began the discussion by providing an overview of OTC Markets Group and its mission to facilitate access to U.S. capital markets for non-U.S. issuers.

 “Of the 12,000+ securities that trade on our market, more than 90% of the order flow and the trading occurs in companies that are listed outside of the U.S.,” he explained. “We have had more than $400 billion of volume traded this year, and the total market cap of our markets is in excess of $27 trillion. Of course, there are thousands of smaller micro-cap companies, but there are also some of the world's best-in-class businesses.” 

King continued by highlighting the differences between OTC Markets Group and traditional stock exchanges, such as Nasdaq and the New York Stock Exchange. 

“As we're focusing today on the international side, for the international issuer, there's a huge difference between the OTC Markets Group and traditional stock exchanges like Nasdaq and New York Stock Exchange. When companies list with those exchanges, they take on SEC filing, which is, of course, just a form of disclosure, but it is completely different from the one that they would be responsible for on their home exchange, wherever that might be.” 

He also elaborated on the streamlined process available to companies using OTC Markets Group’s premium markets. 

“When you think about joining our premium markets, you can do so by way of an SEC rule, which is Rule 12g3-2(b). It's an exemption for taking on additional filing, meaning you can rely on your home market disclosure. It's an extremely simplified way to get compliance with U.S. securities laws and be freely tradable on our OTCQX and OTCQB markets. The U.S. exchange model is duplication of effort, duplication of disclosure, and essentially millions of dollars to comply. With OTC Markets, you can be fully traded by retail and institutional investors and everything in between, but there's a vastly different cost and complexity.” 

Join IBN’s Jonathan Keim and The Stock2Me Podcast’s latest guest as they delve deeper into the advantages of the OTCQB Venture Market and OTCQX Best Market for international companies, particularly those based in Canada.

Stock2Me’s latest podcast features Mike Larson, Editor-in-Chief at MoneyShow, a premier financial education platform that connects investors, traders, and financial experts through conferences, webinars, and insightful content.

To begin the interview, Larson provided an introduction to MoneyShow. 

“MoneyShow has been around for just over 43 years now. We’ve got a long history of running live and, more recently, online conferences, all over the country. Our goal is to connect experts in the financial markets,” he said. “Our experts include strategists, money managers, analysts, newsletter editors, and almost anybody who has a time-tested and well-established track record for being able to provide investing and trading guidance. We connect those individuals with attendees at our conferences.”

 “The goal is to put them all together and provide an opportunity to learn from the experts over the span of two or three days. Attendees get to ask the experts questions, listen to their insights, hear their recommendations, and basically take home things that they can put to work in their own portfolios… I joined MoneyShow a couple years ago now, but I have been presenting at MoneyShow with my former employer going all the way back to 2005. I've seen what MoneyShow has done and accomplished over the years for my subscribers at my former company, and now, being on board with MoneyShow, it's a natural fit.”

 “I love to have the interaction with attendees, getting to talk about market trends, and essentially give people actionable information that they can use in their portfolio to grow and protect their wealth… We're in Orlando coming up October 17-19 for the MoneyShow Traders Expo Orlando. We’re going to have everything from keynotes and panels to the exhibit hall, where you can go test products and services and watch live trading demonstrations. It comes about three weeks before the presidential election. Regardless of who wins, attendees will learn how to adjust their portfolios to either maximize profits under the new administration or protect themselves from some of the issues that might come up. In our opinion, it’s a very well-timed event.”

Join IBN’s Jonathan Keim and The Stock2Me Podcast’s latest guest to learn more about the market trends investors should be monitoring in the final quarter of 2024, as well as the most common mistakes made by traders and how to avoid them.

The Stock2Me Podcast’s latest audio production features Brian J. Esposito, CEO of Diamond Lake Minerals Inc. (OTC: DLMI), a multi-strategy operating company offering traditional investors an entry point to the future of digital securities.

To begin the interview, Esposito discussed his background prior to joining Diamond Lake Minerals.

“My entire career has been as an entrepreneur. As a teenager, I was starting companies, going out there and finding ways to earn, and I've been doing that until present day,” Esposito said. “There are two channels of my life. With my private holdings company, Esposito Intellectual Enterprises, I’ve worked for 23+ years as an entrepreneur – building, starting, acquiring and merging with companies. The current arsenal there that I've built up is over 110 companies that we're involved in. There are over 200 joint ventures around the world proudly operating in over 25 different industries.”

“I've always been heavily focused on public markets – understanding regulatory requirements and always treating companies as if they were public companies as far as being fully audited. I'm not the unicorn guy. I'm the guy that says if you want to be in business, you've got to have revenues. If you want to stay in business, you need to be profitable. That's the simplest definition of business that I can think of.”

“The opportunity arose to look at DLMI and take over as CEO last August. I’ve been presented so many public vehicles and OTC or pink sheets throughout my career, and they’re always a mess riddled with billions of shares. DLMI was quite special. I aligned with President and Director Michael Reynolds to come up with the strategy of repurposing and re-strategizing the vision of the company, taking my history and my expertise, especially in digital assets and security tokens, and applying a new model of what I believe to be the future of public companies.”

Join IBN’s Jonathan Keim and Stock2Me’s latest guest to learn more about DLMI’s initiatives in tokenization, as well as its recent partnerships, investments and milestones.

Stock2Me’s latest podcast features Dr. Alan Baratz, CEO of D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NYSE: QBTS), a leader in quantum computing systems, software and services that delivers customer value via practical quantum applications for computationally complex problems such as factory planning, resource allocation, job shop scheduling, labor allocation, vehicle routing, artificial intelligence, drug discovery, financial modeling and more.

During the interview, Dr. Baratz discussed his journey to becoming the CEO of D-Wave, provided an introduction to quantum computing and offered perspectives on D-Wave’s leadership in driving the commercial adoption of this emerging technology.

“Quantum computing is nothing more than using quantum mechanical effects – things like superposition, entanglement or tunneling – to solve computationally hard problems faster or better than they can be solved using classical computers. Quantum computing can be applied to both revolutionary applications, like developing designer drugs or global weather modeling, and evolutionary applications, like improving employee scheduling or autonomous vehicle routing on manufacturing plant floors. These evolutionary applications are problems that businesses are solving today; it's just that they're computationally so hard that businesses are using heuristics to try to come up with what they hope are ‘good enough’ solutions. With quantum computing, we're able to deliver better solutions faster to those problems.”

“Quantum computing is crossing the chasm right now, from experimentation to enterprise usage. At D-Wave, we took a different approach to quantum computing from everybody else in the industry; we decided to start with annealing quantum computing. Annealing is a much easier technology to work with, it's easier to scale and much less sensitive to errors. That has allowed us to become commercial today. D-Wave is actually driving adoption in the market with real customers who have applications in production today, helping to benefit their business operations. Nobody else in the quantum industry can say that.”

Stock2Me’s latest podcast features M.E. Tuthill, a financial writer and journalist and author of Repo-Madness: A Simpleton’s Guide to the Street’s Wicked Ways, a book aiming to blow the lid off what has come to be known as the shadow banking system.

To begin the interview, Tuthill discussed her background.

“I was born and raised outside of Boston, Massachusetts, and I spent the earlier part of my career in broadcasting as a radio journalist. After 10 years of that… I was ready for a change. I decided to take a big leap – and I mean big… I decided to become a financial advisor,” Tuthill said. “I did that for 13 years, and it was a really good experience. I learned a lot about money. Ironically, though, I was in all these brokerage firms, and I knew nothing about what I’m now writing about, which is the huge market and the financial system.”

“After 13 years, I’d had enough of that… I got a position as a financial writer at iMoneyNet… I wrote articles about money market funds. When I first got the job I thought, ‘Oh this is great, I’ve got a 9-to-5 and a steady paycheck,’ but money market funds weren’t really that exciting to write about. When the financial crisis hit, everything changed. Those funds had such an integral role in what happened. For the next nine years after that happened, I wrote every week and every day about the money market funds and the shadow banking system in general. I got addicted to it; I got hooked on it.”

Tuthill then provided an introduction to Repo-Madness: A Simpleton’s Guide to the Street’s Wicked Ways by discussing the concept of shadow banking.
