- 1:05Speaker 1: Zadath and Mike Armstrong.
- 1:10Speaker 2: Chuck, Mike and Tucker with you here as we kick
- 1:13Speaker 2: off another week in markets, which right now kind of mix,
- 1:17Speaker 2: no clear direction. The Dow's off quarter percent, down about
- 1:19Speaker 2: one hundred points, the smp it's pretty much flat, up
- 1:23Speaker 2: three points, and the Nasdaq is up seventy points are
- 1:25Speaker 2: about a third of a percent, so again no clear direction.
- 1:29Speaker 2: Nothing big moving in markets today. Bonds again not much happening.
- 1:35Speaker 2: The ten year Treasury is down one point eight basis points,
- 1:37Speaker 2: the thirty years up tenth of a basis point, so
- 1:41Speaker 2: again just not much happening on the bond side of things.
- 1:45Speaker 2: We've got oil West Text Intermediate's up forty cents a
- 1:48Speaker 2: barrel to sixty four to ninety eight, Gold down five
- 1:53Speaker 2: twenty and ounce to thirty three, forty one and forty cents.
- 1:56Speaker 2: There's just not that much happening today. Am I anything
- 1:58Speaker 2: catching your eye?
- 1:59Speaker 3: No?
- 2:00Speaker 4: No, it's relatively quiet out there. And the big stuff
- 2:04Speaker 4: that can move things this week would be that inflation
- 2:06Speaker 4: report Wednesday and or announcements on trade between the US
- 2:09Speaker 4: and China.
- 2:10Speaker 2: So that's what we're going to be eagerly anticipating. If
- 2:13Speaker 2: we get something during this hour. Great, We're happy to
- 2:15Speaker 2: chat about it. Otherwise it might be a Tomorrow or
- 2:18Speaker 2: Wednesday thing. There has been some chatter that these US
- 2:20Speaker 2: China talks may drag into tomorrow, and so we'll see
- 2:25Speaker 2: where things go. I want to talk a little bit
- 2:29Speaker 2: about what's going on with the NC DOUBLEA. So the
- 2:33Speaker 2: NC DOUBLEA, if you're not familiar with them, you probably
- 2:36Speaker 2: aren't from around here, because they are the organization that
- 2:39Speaker 2: runs college sports.
- 2:41Speaker 3: And the former governor is the president.
- 2:44Speaker 2: Charlie Baker, Yes, former governor of Massachusetts is the president
- 2:47Speaker 2: of the NC Double A. Look, I was an NC
- 2:51Speaker 2: DOUBLEA athlete. To toot my own horn, I was a
- 2:54Speaker 2: very bad kicker on a football team, and that was
- 3:00Speaker 2: my experience with the NCAA in my own career. I
- 3:03Speaker 2: didn't have anything good or bad to say about them
- 3:05Speaker 2: because I was not going to make any money playing
- 3:07Speaker 2: college sports. I was a bad kicker on a team
- 3:11Speaker 2: that wasn't great either, and so like I didn't have
- 3:14Speaker 2: any NIL deals that we're going to be coming down
- 3:17Speaker 2: my door anyways. But the last couple of years with
- 3:20Speaker 2: the NIL name image and likeness rules that have been
- 3:24Speaker 2: in place have kind of turned college sports into the
- 3:28Speaker 2: wild West in that you have. And I don't blame
- 3:31Speaker 2: the players, by the way, for you know, doing what
- 3:33Speaker 2: they're doing. They're going out and saying, hey, how much
- 3:36Speaker 2: can you give me for this year? Especially if you're
- 3:38Speaker 2: in a you know, contact sport like football where your
- 3:42Speaker 2: career could be cut short on any particular play. Yes,
- 3:46Speaker 2: you should always be asking who's going to pay me
- 3:49Speaker 2: the most in order to let me be there. It's
- 3:53Speaker 2: led to some unseemly things like who was it, Like
- 3:58Speaker 2: I think it was the quarterback for ULV last year
- 4:01Speaker 2: that basically like stopped playing for his team midseason and
- 4:03Speaker 2: you know, was rumored to be asking for all these
- 4:05Speaker 2: new deals and stuff. But this is by virtue of
- 4:08Speaker 2: the way the landscape is currently built today, where there
- 4:11Speaker 2: aren't a ton of rules and kids are incented to
- 4:15Speaker 2: grab as much as they can as quickly as they
- 4:17Speaker 2: can because it could all be over tomorrow. So you
- 4:21Speaker 2: have a settlement that was just approved by a federal
- 4:25Speaker 2: judge between the NC double A and really it's it's
- 4:31Speaker 2: tying together a few cases that were out there. It's
- 4:33Speaker 2: called the House versus NC double A settlement, and it's
- 4:36Speaker 2: not because this is you know the House of Representatives,
- 4:40Speaker 2: or you know Eddie House who played for the Boston
- 4:44Speaker 2: Celtics for a couple of years. Rather, House is a
- 4:47Speaker 2: former Arizona State swimmer named Grant House who brought a
- 4:52Speaker 2: lawsuit in twenty twenty basically saying, hey, I can't earn
- 4:56Speaker 2: nil money. And the reason why like House actually had
- 4:58Speaker 2: a case on this was, look, people in the swimming
- 5:01Speaker 2: community actually knew him. And there was another one a
- 5:04Speaker 2: few years before this that it never went to trial,
- 5:06Speaker 2: but there was a It was a distance runner who
- 5:10Speaker 2: was just fantastic and a water bottle company wanted to
- 5:13Speaker 2: pay him for, you know, promoting their product, and he
- 5:16Speaker 2: couldn't because of the NCAA, which again to me, is
- 5:19Speaker 2: just silliness, silly. And I know that a lot of
- 5:23Speaker 2: people listening probably have this like dressed up idea of oh,
- 5:26Speaker 2: these are kids who you know, should play for love
- 5:29Speaker 2: of the game and this and that and everything, to
- 5:30Speaker 2: which I say, okay, fine, Like should the adults that
- 5:33Speaker 2: are supervising them coach for the love of the game too,
- 5:35Speaker 2: Because last time I checked, college football coaches get paid
- 5:38Speaker 2: pretty well, same with college basketball coaches, and even in
- 5:41Speaker 2: today's world, like college softball coaches and so like, Yeah,
- 5:45Speaker 2: if we want to say it's love of the game,
- 5:47Speaker 2: then let's make everyone play for the love of the
- 5:49Speaker 2: game and not have a whole bunch of money flowing
- 5:52Speaker 2: through institutions that helps to support them in many cases.
- 5:55Speaker 4: Likewise, again, was not a collegiate athlete, but how many
- 6:00Speaker 4: hours of your week chuck during season were dedicated to
- 6:03Speaker 4: requirements that you train.
- 6:05Speaker 2: I can't remember what we were capped at. It was
- 6:07Speaker 2: something it was either like twenty or thirty hours a
- 6:09Speaker 2: week that we were capped at, but it was like
- 6:11Speaker 2: it was a heavy lift that you had to do it.
- 6:13Speaker 2: It was like having a significant part time job in
- 6:16Speaker 2: addition to going to your classes and stuff like that,
- 6:18Speaker 2: and still finding time for you know, a beer two
- 6:20Speaker 2: here and there. So I think ultimately, when when you
- 6:24Speaker 2: look at this, the thing that we first need to
- 6:26Speaker 2: admit is that college sports are not for love of
- 6:29Speaker 2: the game, and there's nothing amateur about them. The only
- 6:31Speaker 2: thing that's been the only thing that's been even pretending
- 6:35Speaker 2: to be you know, amateurized there is the fact that
- 6:38Speaker 2: the kids haven't been able to get paid because the
- 6:39Speaker 2: NC DOUBLEA has prohibited it. And the reason why dates
- 6:43Speaker 2: back to the nineteen twenties, thirties and forties, where the
- 6:47Speaker 2: nc DOUBLEA, in trying to get out from a bunch
- 6:49Speaker 2: of workers comp lawsuits that they were facing from college
- 6:53Speaker 2: football players who were getting injured playing football, came up
- 6:56Speaker 2: with the term student athlete to say, no, these are
- 6:58Speaker 2: not employees of the school. They are student athletes, and
- 7:02Speaker 2: so we don't have to pay workers comp. That's literally
- 7:05Speaker 2: where the NCAA came up with the tournament it came from,
- 7:08Speaker 2: was trying to get out of paying kids money.
- 7:11Speaker 4: Further evidence that it's not amateur. What's the primary training
- 7:14Speaker 4: source for Olympic athletes in this country?
- 7:17Speaker 3: Dan c double a.
- 7:17Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's again to toot my own horn, not
- 7:21Speaker 2: mine personally, but my schools. The Dartmouth College ski team
- 7:24Speaker 2: basically is a good portion of the United States ski
- 7:27Speaker 2: team in any particular Winter Olympics. And so when you
- 7:32Speaker 2: look at what this means, this settlement effectively allows D
- 7:37Speaker 2: one universities to begin directly revenue sharing with their athletes
- 7:42Speaker 2: as of July first, So three weeks from now.
- 7:45Speaker 3: What do you mean by revenue sharing? Is it just
- 7:47Speaker 3: we can pay you a salary?
- 7:49Speaker 2: Yes? Okay, So previously you had to come up with these.
- 7:52Speaker 2: What they're called is NIL and name, image and likeness collectives,
- 7:55Speaker 2: which is basically the school soliciting money from wealthy alumni
- 7:59Speaker 2: and everything, saying hey, we'll pay you to represent you know,
- 8:01Speaker 2: companies if we can, and then they go around and
- 8:04Speaker 2: try to find actual NIL deals, which may or may
- 8:07Speaker 2: not actually exist in a lot of cases. In this case,
- 8:11Speaker 2: there is a revenue sharing cap where the Division I
- 8:14Speaker 2: schools can spend up to twenty point five million dollars
- 8:18Speaker 2: in year one, and that number can increase based on
- 8:21Speaker 2: how revenue may grow in the future. But that's how
- 8:24Speaker 2: much they have to spend on their students. And that
- 8:29Speaker 2: cap is in place to try to you know, cap out,
- 8:31Speaker 2: you know, to try to form you know, kind of
- 8:33Speaker 2: a level playing field. But the NIL world is still
- 8:36Speaker 2: going to exist on top of this, and so you know,
- 8:38Speaker 2: who knows how level it's actually going to be. Actually,
- 8:41Speaker 2: I'll tell you it's not going to be particularly level. Sure,
- 8:44Speaker 2: But here's the thing. This still doesn't actually fix the problem.
- 8:51Speaker 2: And the problem, in my opinion, is one where the well,
- 8:59Speaker 2: there are a couple different ones. In my opinion. The
- 9:02Speaker 2: first is there is no incentive for a student or
- 9:08Speaker 2: coach to have any kind of long term relationship with
- 9:11Speaker 2: a school, and I think that's bad for the viewing
- 9:14Speaker 2: experience in a few different ways. And believe me, I
- 9:17Speaker 2: don't want kids to be like tethered to a school.
- 9:19Speaker 2: Other coaches just you know, globe trot around to wherever.
- 9:22Speaker 2: But I want you to think about March Madness just
- 9:25Speaker 2: as an example. Mike's not really a huge March Madness fan.
- 9:28Speaker 2: He doesn't believe in basketball, but Tucker and I do,
- 9:31Speaker 2: and and that's great.
- 9:32Speaker 3: True.
- 9:32Speaker 4: I love the gambling part of March Madness. I just
- 9:34Speaker 4: don't have any interest in watching any of the games.
- 9:36Speaker 2: It's fine, which I just love. I love that whole
- 9:39Speaker 2: sentence right there. But this March Madness, a couple things
- 9:44Speaker 2: were true, Tucker, was this arguably one of the most
- 9:47Speaker 2: boring March Madness is as far as upsets confirmed.
- 9:50Speaker 3: Yeah, it was. It was Mike's practice right on.
- 9:52Speaker 2: It was a chalk tournament. Guest, if you were a
- 9:55Speaker 2: high seed, you were basically moving on aside from like
- 9:58Speaker 2: a couple of little upsets here and there. And part
- 10:00Speaker 2: of the reason for that now is unlike in prior years,
- 10:03Speaker 2: where hey, if you're a good if you're like a
- 10:06Speaker 2: great talent that happens to be at a small school.
- 10:09Speaker 2: Remember the old transfer rules, you basically had to stay there.
- 10:12Speaker 2: Otherwise you had to sit out a year and miss
- 10:14Speaker 2: time and YadA YadA, you could build a program at
- 10:17Speaker 2: a small school. In today's world, if someone is, you know,
- 10:21Speaker 2: a late bloomer who happens to have like a great
- 10:23Speaker 2: freshman year, they either end up going to the NBA
- 10:25Speaker 2: Draft now or they get scooped up by another program
- 10:28Speaker 2: that can pay them more. So, those small mid major
- 10:30Speaker 2: schools can't develop the continuity that let those you know,
- 10:34Speaker 2: Gonzaga teams of the early two thousands go on runs.
- 10:37Speaker 3: Or you know.
- 10:37Speaker 4: I have a family member who does fundraising for a
- 10:41Speaker 4: local university in the Boston market, and his argument is
- 10:44Speaker 4: basically this that, yeah, we will never be able to
- 10:47Speaker 4: have a program like that because the second we find
- 10:49Speaker 4: a good player, they're gonna go somewhere else. They'll spend
- 10:51Speaker 4: a year here if that, and then go somewhere else.
- 10:53Speaker 2: Now, I'm not saying that you want to hold those
- 10:56Speaker 2: kids down, because I'm a big believer of no. Like,
- 10:59Speaker 2: every one has to compete in order to get talent.
- 11:03Speaker 2: But the way to do this, in my opinion, is
- 11:07Speaker 2: by allowing schools to sign kids two multi year contracts
- 11:14Speaker 2: if they want to. So if you are a kid
- 11:17Speaker 2: with an uncertain future who doesn't know how great you're
- 11:20Speaker 2: gonna be, and you get no one really given you much,
- 11:23Speaker 2: but hey, one school says, yeah, we'll give you three
- 11:25Speaker 2: hundred thousand dollars for the next you know, three years,
- 11:28Speaker 2: but you got to stay for that time period.
- 11:31Speaker 3: Great.
- 11:31Speaker 2: That allows a school to build a program and develop
- 11:34Speaker 2: it while still properly compensating that kid for where they
- 11:37Speaker 2: were at that time. Remember, no, like NBA player NFL
- 11:40Speaker 2: player signs a lifetime contract, they get a three year
- 11:44Speaker 2: a four year deal and if they play well, great,
- 11:45Speaker 2: you get a new, bigger one. So I think this
- 11:48Speaker 2: is something that I think, you know, really makes some
- 11:50Speaker 2: sense to potentially do. I want to talk more about
- 11:53Speaker 2: this because there's a lot.
- 11:54Speaker 3: Of meat here.
- 11:55Speaker 4: Yeah, there's another question that I have which I think
- 11:58Speaker 4: is pretty important to it, and maybe it's not an
- 12:00Speaker 4: important maybe once we explain it's non important, But I
- 12:02Speaker 4: want to understand what this means for the ninety plus
- 12:06Speaker 4: percent of college and university attendees that are not athletes. Yeah,
- 12:11Speaker 4: and definitely economics for the schools themselves and how all
- 12:15Speaker 4: that works out, because that, to me is a massive
- 12:17Speaker 4: question here. If you're turning on this income stream for
- 12:20Speaker 4: the student athletes, how did that previously subsidized non student athletes,
- 12:24Speaker 4: and what does that mean for the economics.
- 12:26Speaker 2: Just take a quick break here, we'll talk about that.
- 12:27Speaker 2: We've also got some trivia right after this.

- 13:11Speaker 5: Time for trivia here on the Financial Exchange, And today
- 13:15Speaker 5: is Johnny Depp's sixty second birthday. Depth's films have grossed

- 14:04Speaker 4: So we're talking about the settlement over the weekend between
- 14:08Speaker 4: the NCAA and it's member athletes, and basically what it
- 14:14Speaker 4: gets to is a twenty point five million dollar cap
- 14:17Speaker 4: that Division one schools can then use to pay their players.
- 14:22Speaker 2: So the question that Mike asked during the previous segment was.
- 14:26Speaker 4: What does this do to the non student athletes and
- 14:29Speaker 4: just the economics of the school in general. Because I
- 14:32Speaker 4: didn't attend one, but I'm sure there are a lot
- 14:35Speaker 4: of schools out there where the football and basketball programs
- 14:39Speaker 4: in particular, but others in general, subsidize some of the
- 14:43Speaker 4: other costs born by the school.
- 14:45Speaker 2: Yeah, and so just to give you a sense of this,
- 14:47Speaker 2: and this is data for it looks like it's twenty
- 14:50Speaker 2: twenty three finances for schools, because again we don't have
- 14:53Speaker 2: twenty four yet because that year is still going right now.
- 14:58Speaker 2: But so for the fiscal twenty twenty three year, twenty
- 15:01Speaker 2: four year, what you have here, you know, it was sorry,
- 15:04Speaker 2: the twenty two to twenty three year. And by the way,
- 15:07Speaker 2: we only have this really for public universities, just because
- 15:10Speaker 2: private ones don't. They don't have to tell you. The
- 15:13Speaker 2: school with the highest athletic department revenue for let's see, yeah,
- 15:21Speaker 2: for that year was Ohio State, which brought in two
- 15:24Speaker 2: hundred and fifty one million dollars in athletic department revenue
- 15:28Speaker 2: and spent two hundred and twenty five million. So still
- 15:31Speaker 2: a net contributor of twenty five million dollars to the broader.
- 15:34Speaker 4: School's Narrower than I would have thought it was, though
- 15:37Speaker 4: some of these Mike some of these get get pretty
- 15:39Speaker 4: dodgy here. In fact, you don't have to go down
- 15:42Speaker 4: too far to get to where was it? Hang on,
- 15:44Speaker 4: I'm just finding it here. Here we go, so you
- 15:46Speaker 4: don't have to go down too far to find the
- 15:49Speaker 4: University of Tennessee which brought in one hundred and fifty
- 15:52Speaker 4: four million dollars in revenue and spent one hundred and
- 15:55Speaker 4: fifty seven so the athletic department was a net loser
- 15:59Speaker 4: for the School of Tennessee. So your tuition is subsidizing
- 16:03Speaker 4: the athletic programs in those cases.
- 16:06Speaker 3: Correct.
- 16:07Speaker 2: One of my favorite interviews of all time Jim Calhoun,
- 16:10Speaker 2: who was the head coach of the Yukonbatman's basketball team
- 16:14Speaker 2: for decades. Someone asked him once like, hey, does it
- 16:19Speaker 2: never bother you, like how much money you get paid by,
- 16:23Speaker 2: you know, the university, because you know you're you're a
- 16:25Speaker 2: public employee. And his answer was, go look at like
- 16:27Speaker 2: the p and L like, go look at how much
- 16:29Speaker 2: money we bring into this university. No, I'm not ashamed
- 16:32Speaker 2: of my paycheck. We are a net contributor to the university.
- 16:36Speaker 2: So like, don't ask me those questions anymore. Yukon, by
- 16:39Speaker 2: the way, not as big of a program as you know.
- 16:43Speaker 2: Ohio State they spent about ninety nine million dollars last year.
- 16:46Speaker 2: They I'm sorry, they brought in ninety nine million, They
- 16:50Speaker 2: spent ninety six so still contributed three million as a
- 16:52Speaker 2: whole to the school.
- 16:54Speaker 4: So then what this means to me is that athletics programs,
- 16:57Speaker 4: if they were profitable previously, and we're a net contributor
- 17:01Speaker 4: to subsidize, how the costs of universities, that's gonna narrow
- 17:04Speaker 4: because they now probably have to pay student athletes to
- 17:07Speaker 4: remain competitive.
- 17:08Speaker 2: Or they're gonna be Two other things are the possibilities
- 17:12Speaker 2: Number one higher ticket prices yeap. Number two getting rid
- 17:17Speaker 2: of thinning out the athletic department administrative state.
- 17:22Speaker 4: Oh why why wouldn't you kill teams here too? But
- 17:25Speaker 4: why would Yukon still want It's not gonna save you
- 17:29Speaker 4: enough money? Sing team in this case not gonna.
- 17:31Speaker 2: Save you enough money. Now here's the thing. In certain cases,
- 17:34Speaker 2: based on how certain conferences are set up. Now, like
- 17:38Speaker 2: the ACC, I mean it's not just the AEC like
- 17:40Speaker 2: everyone's a joke at this point, but it's like, okay,
- 17:42Speaker 2: freaking Stanford's in the ACC. Like you gotta be flying
- 17:45Speaker 2: people on the fencing team back and forth. Like, think
- 17:47Speaker 2: about the cost that you have instead of just renting
- 17:49Speaker 2: a bus. So yeah, like some of this stuff adds
- 17:52Speaker 2: up and maybe you see a little bit of that. Yeah,
- 17:54Speaker 2: most likely it's gonna be, hey, we're gonna raise you know,
- 17:58Speaker 2: either fees or costs or you know for you know
- 18:00Speaker 2: this and that.
- 18:01Speaker 4: Remember too, that killing programs is you know, it might
- 18:05Speaker 4: affect the current P and L, but it's also one
- 18:09Speaker 4: of the heavily sighted reasons that alumni donate to their
- 18:13Speaker 4: schools is their experience as student athletes and attending those matches.
- 18:17Speaker 4: And so you know, you have a couple of big
- 18:19Speaker 4: donors that were previous fencers, and that keeps a program
- 18:22Speaker 4: alive even if it's unprofitable.
- 18:24Speaker 2: The other thing, buy and large, this is gonna affect
- 18:26Speaker 2: three sports football, men's and women's basketball. Everything else is
- 18:31Speaker 2: kind of on the periphery. You're gonna have certain athletes
- 18:35Speaker 2: and certain you know sports that are still gonna you know,
- 18:37Speaker 2: potentially be eligible. Again a look at all.
- 18:40Speaker 4: Of the Wisconsin will play pay a hockey player or two,
- 18:45Speaker 4: and there'll be a few others in those types of
- 18:47Speaker 4: areas that are profitable sports for those specific schools, but
- 18:51Speaker 4: nothing like those are the two programs in the program.
- 18:53Speaker 2: Honestly the biggest schools that are gonna be influenced here,
- 18:56Speaker 2: it's the big ten in the SEC like that is
- 18:58Speaker 2: where the deep pockets are. Once you get out of
- 19:00Speaker 2: those two conferences, there's not gonna be anywhere near the
- 19:03Speaker 2: maximum spending in a lot of cases. I mean again,
- 19:07Speaker 2: the thirty fifth sorry, the thirty sixth largest spender in
- 19:12Speaker 2: college athletics is Utah. They spend one hundred and fifteen
- 19:16Speaker 2: million dollars. Like they're not gonna say yeah, like, let's
- 19:18Speaker 2: raise our athletic department budget by twenty percent in order
- 19:21Speaker 2: to max this out. They're gonna do what they can.
- 19:25Speaker 2: So it's not gonna be universal even across D one.
- 19:28Speaker 2: Let's take a quick break.
- 19:29Speaker 4: When we come back, we got Wall Street Watch trivia
- 19:31Speaker 4: answer and then we're talking inflation after this.

- 22:03Speaker 5: play trivia every day here in the Financial Exchange. See
- 22:07Speaker 5: complete contest rules at Financial Exchange Show dot com.
- 22:10Speaker 2: Mike, we got a couple of pieces here talking about
- 22:13Speaker 2: four to one k blunders. I guess I'll describe them
- 22:18Speaker 2: as what.
- 22:18Speaker 4: Do we have Yeah, so piece from CNBC as well
- 22:20Speaker 4: as one from the Wall Street Journal, and they both
- 22:23Speaker 4: describe different features of four oh one k's that kind
- 22:28Speaker 4: of drive you to the conclusion that they can be
- 22:31Speaker 4: really good tools for accumulating money while you're working for
- 22:34Speaker 4: the employer and then suddenly come with a bunch of
- 22:37Speaker 4: pitfalls once you're done working there. So in the CNBCPS
- 22:41Speaker 4: they point out that a lot of the fees that
- 22:43Speaker 4: are usually covered by your employer while you are working
- 22:46Speaker 4: there with maintaining this four oh one K suddenly get
- 22:49Speaker 4: forced onto the previous employee if the account stays there.
- 22:54Speaker 4: In some cases, in fact, the four to one K
- 22:56Speaker 4: providers will just cash out the four oh one K
- 22:59Speaker 4: and send you a check if the balance is too small,
- 23:01Speaker 4: but otherwise they might start hitting you up for monthly
- 23:04Speaker 4: maintenance fees and all sorts of stuff that was previously
- 23:07Speaker 4: covered by the employer. I've also seen weird things like, hey,
- 23:10Speaker 4: if you want to take money out of the four
- 23:12Speaker 4: oh one K, we're going to charge you a per
- 23:14Speaker 4: you know, electronic funds transfer fee and all sorts of
- 23:17Speaker 4: stuff that you wouldn't really expect. In the twenty first century,
- 23:21Speaker 4: but do exist sometimes in four to one K accounts.
- 23:25Speaker 4: The nice thing, you know, the believe it or not,
- 23:28Speaker 4: four oh one k's do get lost. Occasionally people change
- 23:31Speaker 4: addresses and fail to keep up on their account statements.
- 23:35Speaker 3: The Department of Labor just.
- 23:36Speaker 4: Created this new retirement Savings Lost and found database to
- 23:40Speaker 4: help you find those. So let's say you have moved,
- 23:42Speaker 4: you know, moved addresses five times while you're in your
- 23:44Speaker 4: sore twenties and lost track of one of these.
- 23:47Speaker 3: This will help you track it down.
- 23:49Speaker 4: But the point that they are making is and this
- 23:52Speaker 4: is not universal because frankly, four to one k's are
- 23:54Speaker 4: confusing and are different at every single provider, in every
- 23:58Speaker 4: single company. But the general conclusion that both of these
- 24:02Speaker 4: seem to come to is not the greatest tool to
- 24:06Speaker 4: keep long term. If you're no longer working at the
- 24:09Speaker 4: employer and you're starting to take out distributions, and that
- 24:13Speaker 4: can vary from account fees that start to pop up
- 24:16Speaker 4: when you're retired and taking money out. It can come
- 24:19Speaker 4: down to how the methodology works within the four oh
- 24:22Speaker 4: one K in terms of what money it takes the
- 24:25Speaker 4: funds out of which can be problematic. Think if you're
- 24:28Speaker 4: automatically taking all the money out of fixed income, for instance,
- 24:32Speaker 4: you're automatically making yourself more aggressive when you're retired and
- 24:35Speaker 4: trying to make yourself more conservative. The point would be,
- 24:40Speaker 4: if you are approaching a change in employment or a
- 24:44Speaker 4: soon to be retirement, it may make sense for you
- 24:47Speaker 4: to at least understand whether or not this is the
- 24:49Speaker 4: tool you're going to stick with. Once you reach that point,
- 24:52Speaker 4: you can get a whole bunch of information if you
- 24:55Speaker 4: dial into the fee disclosures, but they are big, long
- 24:59Speaker 4: documents that you have to read through and educate yourself on.
- 25:02Speaker 4: And if you're trying to evaluate your own retirement savings
- 25:06Speaker 4: where it should be long term is the current tool
- 25:08Speaker 4: to write one for you. Give the folks at Armstrong
- 25:11Speaker 4: Advisory Group a call. We can take a look through
- 25:13Speaker 4: those with you, understand what the costs and benefits are
- 25:16Speaker 4: of having what you have today and compare that to

- 25:21Speaker 4: the Armstrong Advisory Group is eight hundred three nine three
- 25:24Speaker 4: four zero zero one. Again that's Armstrong Advisory Group at
- 25:28Speaker 4: eight hundred three to nine three four zero zero one.

- 25:47Speaker 2: Piece in the Wall Street Journal, it's titled get Ready
- 25:50Speaker 2: for inflation to matter in markets again, to which I reply, Well,
- 25:53Speaker 2: it has mattered. It's just that the inflation data has
- 25:55Speaker 2: been better over the last few months, and so it's
- 25:58Speaker 2: mattered for markets going up, not for them going down.
- 26:03Speaker 4: Inflation mattered for markets in the seventies, and in twenty
- 26:06Speaker 4: twenty two, it hasn't been a whole.
- 26:08Speaker 2: Lot of you mean negatively in markets.
- 26:10Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, give me any other circumstance where it did.
- 26:16Speaker 3: I don't think this is a really story here.
- 26:18Speaker 4: Like, yes, people are more hyper aware of inflation, I suppose,
- 26:23Speaker 4: and the downside risk for markets to it should it
- 26:27Speaker 4: start coming back, than really at any point since the
- 26:29Speaker 4: nineteen seventies. But I don't think you can count on
- 26:33Speaker 4: that volatility until you start to see indications that the
- 26:36Speaker 4: inflation is really back. And while I can paint a
- 26:39Speaker 4: picture of how it might come back, it isn't yet.
- 26:43Speaker 2: Yeah, there's I remember, I don't know. It was probably
- 26:46Speaker 2: like seven or eight years ago. Now, I attended a
- 26:50Speaker 2: conference where there was a manager from Fidelity speaking there.
- 26:54Speaker 2: I can't remember his name quite honestly, but one thing
- 26:57Speaker 2: that he said stuck with me. This was before or
- 27:00Speaker 2: like twenty twenty two. This was like twenty seventeen, eighteen nineteen,
- 27:03Speaker 2: somewhere in that range, and one of the things that
- 27:05Speaker 2: he said was, look, if you're nervous about inflation, wait
- 27:08Speaker 2: for it to print before you actually do anything. And
- 27:11Speaker 2: it's basically been like the right way to approach it
- 27:14Speaker 2: in just about every environment because if inflation doesn't actually
- 27:19Speaker 2: show up, then you just waste a whole bunch of time, money,
- 27:21Speaker 2: and effort chasing something that is not there.
- 27:27Speaker 4: And be clear, inflation can cause really big problems. It
- 27:30Speaker 4: led to one of the worst years, or maybe the
- 27:32Speaker 4: worst year for balanced portfolios in twenty twenty two that
- 27:35Speaker 4: we have ever seen, and that was inflation.
- 27:38Speaker 2: But you gotta wait for it to print. Yeah, And
- 27:40Speaker 2: that's the thing I mean, even when we talk about
- 27:44Speaker 2: you know, twenty two, remember inflation started ratcheting up Q
- 27:49Speaker 2: two of twenty one. That's when it started ratcheting up
- 27:54Speaker 2: was in Q two of twenty one, as people were
- 27:57Speaker 2: you know, kind of emerging from twenty twenty and starting
- 27:59Speaker 2: to spend a whole bunch of money. And it didn't
- 28:01Speaker 2: reach its crescendo until March of twenty two, when you
- 28:06Speaker 2: had actually June it was June. Yeah, so I was
- 28:10Speaker 2: looking at pp animation. Yeah, you get to nine point
- 28:12Speaker 2: zero six, uh in June of twenty two, so it
- 28:15Speaker 2: was you know, a solid year build up there that
- 28:18Speaker 2: you had to this point. You take a look at
- 28:20Speaker 2: what we've seen, you know, so far this year and
- 28:25Speaker 2: again I'm just looking year to date right now, and
- 28:28Speaker 2: I've got I don't know CPI. Let's look at CPI.
- 28:31Speaker 2: CPI has gone from two eight nine down to two
- 28:33Speaker 2: three one, Okay, like inflation has mattered, but it's mattered
- 28:38Speaker 2: because it's gone down. I take a look at Core CPI,
- 28:42Speaker 2: which has gone from three two one to two seven eight. Again,
- 28:45Speaker 2: it's mattered because it's gone down, Like it hasn't been
- 28:48Speaker 2: an issue PCE Corpate, Like you can look at all
- 28:52Speaker 2: these there, every measure has come down since the start
- 28:54Speaker 2: of the year. The question that is out there is
- 28:59Speaker 2: what is the tariff situation going to due to inflation
- 29:03Speaker 2: really probably starting in the June number. So I think
- 29:05Speaker 2: you'll see a little bit maybe in May and in
- 29:07Speaker 2: a couple of areas, but the June numbers that we
- 29:10Speaker 2: get about a month from now, June, July, and August.
- 29:12Speaker 2: Show me what those numbers are going to do for inflation,
- 29:17Speaker 2: and then we can talk about it, because we'll get
- 29:19Speaker 2: ready for inflation to matter markets. No, everyone's been looking
- 29:21Speaker 2: at inflation. It has mattered. It's just the inflation data
- 29:24Speaker 2: has been good. And so if the inflation data stays good, great,
- 29:28Speaker 2: it'll continue to matter because it's good. If the inflation's bad,
- 29:32Speaker 2: it'll continue to matter because it's bad now, just as
- 29:35Speaker 2: it always would have. The inflation data always matters. It's
- 29:38Speaker 2: just that from nineteen eighty through you know, twenty twenty one,
- 29:42Speaker 2: there was none. It was good. You didn't have to
- 29:44Speaker 2: worry about it. It's still mattered. But I mean, my goodness,
- 29:48Speaker 2: when I started in this business, I still remember the
- 29:50Speaker 2: people tell me to watch out for inflation back in
- 29:52Speaker 2: twenty ten and twenty eleven. Oops, good job, good effort.
- 29:58Speaker 2: You know, Like again, we all have these errors that
- 29:59Speaker 2: we because like none of us are one hundred percent
- 30:01Speaker 2: in this business.
- 30:02Speaker 3: But I don't know.
- 30:04Speaker 2: I always go back to that idea, like, hey, if
- 30:05Speaker 2: you're worried about inflation, wait for it to print and
- 30:07Speaker 2: then start worrying about it, because otherwise you're kind of
- 30:10Speaker 2: just chasing the ghost. Let's take a quick break. When
- 30:13Speaker 2: we come back, stack Roulette.

- 31:24Speaker 2: Over the weekend, Tucker sent sent me this piece from.
- 31:28Speaker 4: The New York Times sent to both us. Actually wasn't
- 31:31Speaker 4: just me. They occasionally send stuff tout me, but not often.
- 31:37Speaker 2: It was from the New York Times title Ferris Bueller's
- 31:39Speaker 2: vest Hits the auction Block expected.
- 31:41Speaker 4: To go for three hundred to six hundred grand, which
- 31:44Speaker 4: is pretty penny if you can get it. Apparently this
- 31:48Speaker 4: was previously owned by Darren Rovel. I read in this piece,
- 31:53Speaker 4: which I find just funny.
- 31:57Speaker 2: You said it.
- 31:59Speaker 4: Anyways, So it got us thinking, Okay, what movie memorabilia
- 32:05Speaker 4: would you pay the most for?
- 32:07Speaker 2: I have a top eight list?
- 32:09Speaker 1: Oh eight eight?
- 32:10Speaker 3: Now I have a top eight.
- 32:11Speaker 4: I thought of a couple more while we were doing
- 32:13Speaker 4: Are we going back and forth here or just fire
- 32:16Speaker 4: them off?
- 32:17Speaker 2: You can go first if you'd like. All right, So
- 32:19Speaker 2: my top one, by the way, our qualification. You have
- 32:21Speaker 2: to hold it.
- 32:22Speaker 4: It has to be something that you can physically lift
- 32:24Speaker 4: in your hand. My first one is not that, so I'm.
- 32:27Speaker 2: Sorry, Like, because there's a million cool cars and planes.
- 32:30Speaker 4: And the shark from Jaws is the you know, number
- 32:33Speaker 4: one for me, it'd be like the iconic New England
- 32:36Speaker 4: piece of memorabilia, the famous shark from Jaws, which I cannot.
- 32:39Speaker 3: Hold in my hands. I would imagine. No, it's a robot,
- 32:42Speaker 3: super cool to have.
- 32:43Speaker 4: It's not even a robot, it's just this Yeah, nineteen seventies,
- 32:47Speaker 4: nineteen seventies. Really like, I think that'd be the coolest
- 32:51Speaker 4: thing to have in your house.
- 32:52Speaker 5: Okay, I can, Yeah, I'll fit nice in the dining room.
- 32:54Speaker 4: I can let it go. Yeah, you put that under
- 32:56Speaker 4: the table, like, oh, all the rest of my all
- 32:59Speaker 4: the rest of my and you can hold in your hand.
- 33:01Speaker 4: But that that was my number one. Like classic New
- 33:03Speaker 4: England memorabilia would be.
- 33:05Speaker 2: The shark from Josh. Okay, so you got the shark
- 33:07Speaker 2: from Jaws. Yeah, these are in no particular order for me.
- 33:09Speaker 2: I don't have them ranked. The ring from Lord of
- 33:12Speaker 2: the Rings.
- 33:13Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, that's a good one.
- 33:15Speaker 2: Yeah, Okay, I think that would be a pretty good one.
- 33:17Speaker 4: Yeah, but it needs to do like the letters glowing
- 33:20Speaker 4: when I put it in the fire.
- 33:21Speaker 5: By the way, six one, seven, three, six two thirteen
- 33:23Speaker 5: eighty five. If you want to chime in with your what.
- 33:25Speaker 1: Else you got my items?
- 33:27Speaker 4: I've got Enigo Montoya's sword huh in Nigo Montoya from
- 33:32Speaker 4: What the Princess Bride?
- 33:33Speaker 5: Oh, I never saw that.
- 33:34Speaker 4: It's been a while, okay, perfect, Yeah, it's it's the
- 33:37Speaker 4: perfect movie.
- 33:39Speaker 3: The sword from Nigo.
- 33:40Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, Enigo Montoya swid sword you killed my father
- 33:43Speaker 4: prepared to die.
- 33:44Speaker 3: Okay.
- 33:44Speaker 2: I've got the U the lighter from die Hard that
- 33:48Speaker 2: John McClain has when he's in the the ac event.
- 33:52Speaker 5: That's a great one.
- 33:53Speaker 2: Yeah, I got that one.
- 33:54Speaker 4: I would go with either the bathrobe or the Christmas
- 33:58Speaker 4: sweater Dicky Combo from Christmas Vicy.
- 34:00Speaker 5: Yep, yep, or Big Lebowski.
- 34:02Speaker 2: I thought you were going big Lebowski.
- 34:04Speaker 4: But first bathroom from Blebowski. Yeah, okay, so our number
- 34:07Speaker 4: of bathrobes would be on the list.
- 34:08Speaker 2: Mike during the break was going, I wish I could
- 34:10Speaker 2: come up with something from the Matrix. Yeah, I want
- 34:13Speaker 2: the red and Blue pills. Want, I want those props.
- 34:17Speaker 5: I'd want more pieces sunglasses, though I didn't have the
- 34:20Speaker 5: side pieces and somehow stay on his face.
- 34:23Speaker 4: This was kind of given to me, but that the
- 34:25Speaker 4: Pillars from Fifth Element would be on my list.
- 34:27Speaker 3: Okay, I loved that movie. Is that a nineties classic? Yeah?
- 34:30Speaker 3: I think so.
- 34:30Speaker 2: Yeah, that was like ninety How many Bruce Willis ninety ninety?
- 34:33Speaker 3: How many Bruce Willis movies? We had quite a few.
- 34:37Speaker 2: I got from Back to the Future Marty McFly's vest
- 34:40Speaker 2: that he wears in the first one.
- 34:41Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 34:41Speaker 2: Yeah, kind of life jacket ish.
- 34:43Speaker 3: So look at that.
- 34:44Speaker 2: I got that on there.
- 34:45Speaker 3: You got any more, I'm out?
- 34:46Speaker 4: Yeah, a cane from Citizen Kane in the Simpsons joke,
- 34:49Speaker 4: but okay, that doesn't exist.
- 34:50Speaker 2: I've got from a from Goodwill Hunting the piece of
- 34:53Speaker 2: chalk that Matt Damon uses to write the answers to
- 34:56Speaker 2: the equation on the board.
- 34:57Speaker 3: So you got a regional one for us here.
- 34:59Speaker 2: I got something little Boston there from Shawshank Redemption. I
- 35:02Speaker 2: want the ripped Raquel Welch poster. M Okay, does he
- 35:08Speaker 2: rip it it?
- 35:08Speaker 3: I'm trying to know he.
- 35:09Speaker 2: Throws the rock in it and then and then he
- 35:12Speaker 2: rip ripped it.
- 35:12Speaker 3: And I would prefer one.
- 35:15Speaker 4: Yeah, you can't get this, but I would prefer one
- 35:17Speaker 4: with just a hole in it. I wonder if they
- 35:18Speaker 4: doesn't exist. Yeah, maybe maybe they had a couple of shots.
- 35:22Speaker 3: Yeah maybe Okay?
- 35:23Speaker 2: Uh Also uh, sporting wise, I want the seven iron
- 35:27Speaker 2: from Tim Cup. Okay, yep, I want the seven iron
- 35:30Speaker 2: from Tim Cup. And I think this last one is
- 35:33Speaker 2: my top one. Actually, I want the uh mikelove and
- 35:36Speaker 2: license from super Bad. That's such a good one.
- 35:41Speaker 5: That is the perfect tiniest piece of movie memory. But
- 35:45Speaker 5: I want to be able to have that in my
- 35:46Speaker 5: pocket at all times. Which of these and if I
- 35:48Speaker 5: get pulled over hand it to a cop and and
- 35:50Speaker 5: I know I'm getting a warning, then.
- 35:52Speaker 3: Which of these would go? Which of these would go
- 35:54Speaker 3: for the most money.
- 35:55Speaker 2: Out of the marscussed?
- 35:57Speaker 4: I think the shark from Jaws would go for the most.
- 35:59Speaker 4: I know we discounted that one, but I think that
- 36:01Speaker 4: would go for more than any of them.
- 36:05Speaker 2: So there's two ways that you have to look at this.
- 36:07Speaker 2: The first is which which movie has the most die
- 36:10Speaker 2: hard fans out of any of these?
- 36:12Speaker 3: Yep?
- 36:12Speaker 2: And like even which actor has the most die hard
- 36:15Speaker 2: fans out of any of these?
- 36:16Speaker 4: And then of those diehard fans, which are the wealthiest.
- 36:23Speaker 4: I mean, I don't think it's any Bruce Willis movie.
- 36:27Speaker 3: Probably not.
- 36:29Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know which one of these is going.
- 36:31Speaker 2: I can tell you which ones are not going for
- 36:33Speaker 2: the most. The Seven Irons not it. It's not the
- 36:35Speaker 2: chalk from Goodwill Hunting.
- 36:36Speaker 3: It's not any of the memorabilia from Christmasification.
- 36:39Speaker 5: It would be the Marty McFly vest. That would If
- 36:42Speaker 5: Ferris Buelo is going for three hundred k or whatever.
- 36:44Speaker 2: I don't know that Lord of the Rings ring is
- 36:46Speaker 2: is kind Yeah, that's like you don't think.
- 36:49Speaker 3: The shark from Jaws is going for the most?
- 36:51Speaker 5: No, because nobody wants that in there.
- 36:52Speaker 2: What are you gonna do with it?
- 36:53Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 36:54Speaker 2: I think how big of a pool do you need
- 36:56Speaker 2: to make that useful?
- 36:57Speaker 5: Dog will be terrified.
- 36:59Speaker 3: I think it's going for the most.
- 37:00Speaker 5: Somebody in the text line gave a really good one.
- 37:03Speaker 5: The original leg lamp from a Christmas story. Ooh, yep,
- 37:07Speaker 5: that would go for pretty penny. Yeah, I'd want the
- 37:10Speaker 5: rip jacket from Tommy Boy Fat Guy in a Little Coat. Yeah,
- 37:14Speaker 5: well Chris Farley puts that on, and then one of
- 37:16Speaker 5: the tucks is from dumb and dumber one.
- 37:18Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's pretty good. The blue or the orange orange?
- 37:21Speaker 2: I would go orange. You're more of a blue guy,
- 37:23Speaker 2: I guess.
- 37:25Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 37:26Speaker 4: Well, if you have any other great movie memorabilia, I
- 37:29Speaker 4: think that covered a lot of it. But if you
- 37:30Speaker 4: have any other great memory, biliy, you can text us
- 37:32Speaker 4: in at six point seven three six two thirteen eighty five.
- 37:35Speaker 3: Well, we'll we'll get back to it this week.
