- 1:37Speaker 3: it was like it was just absolutely beautiful. It was
- 1:39Speaker 3: like there was remarkable. It was so nice, and it's

- 2:25Speaker 3: where you spell out the whole thing. Do that same
- 2:27Speaker 3: search on Facebook and you'll be notified of any upcoming events,
- 2:30Speaker 3: including Dollars to Donuts, which is this week this week right.
- 2:33Speaker 4: Now, Yes, yes, we'll have that this weekend. And check
- 2:37Speaker 4: that Facebook event where I was out of town. I'm
- 2:40Speaker 4: a little a little delayed in getting that set up,
- 2:42Speaker 4: but I'll have that set up today and you can
- 2:45Speaker 4: let me know you're on the way this weekend.
- 2:47Speaker 3: That's good stuff. So that's dollar to donuts advantage of
- 2:49Speaker 3: Vaughn's in South Charles. You could go to John's Facebook
- 2:51Speaker 3: page and register for that. You gotta let him know
- 2:53Speaker 3: how many donuts to get for his dollars. So that's
- 2:56Speaker 3: important thing.
- 2:57Speaker 4: They're about a dollar apiece now, aren't they?
- 2:59Speaker 3: What is what the price? The rising price of donuts
- 3:02Speaker 3: top of everything else. I've made donuts before. Man, it
- 3:05Speaker 3: is cheap. There's like four ingredients of about any donut
- 3:08Speaker 3: that you ever made. I don't know why in the
- 3:09Speaker 3: world the price would go up on those things. I
- 3:11Speaker 3: gotta tell you. Genre Dad is here. You have to
- 3:14Speaker 3: pay the people, right, so the price goes off to
- 3:15Speaker 3: pay the people. Genre Dad is here for four the
- 3:17Speaker 3: Avenue Financial we'll talk a little bit, do our weekly recap,
- 3:19Speaker 3: take a look back on the market. We want to
- 3:21Speaker 3: talk about a lot of other things too, including what
- 3:23Speaker 3: exactly does it mean to get into a correction and
- 3:25Speaker 3: why not to panic when when the market is a
- 3:28Speaker 3: little bit in flux. We have a lot of data
- 3:30Speaker 3: going back for a lot of years on what happens
- 3:32Speaker 3: to the market in a lot of various scenarios. It
- 3:35Speaker 3: always goes up eventually. Eventually, eventually, it always goes up.
- 3:38Speaker 3: I mean, you might have to wait, but eventually it
- 3:39Speaker 3: always goes.
- 3:39Speaker 4: Yeah, and the market rebounded a little bit last week
- 3:42Speaker 4: from from the swoon, so we've basically we went down
- 3:46Speaker 4: and touched that correction area a couple of weeks ago
- 3:50Speaker 4: where we were down ten percent briefly in the market
- 3:54Speaker 4: in the S and P five hundred, and we've rebounded
- 3:57Speaker 4: a little bit from that, so so we're not really
- 4:00Speaker 4: in correction territory right now. We'll see what happens with
- 4:04Speaker 4: you know, nobody knows from day to day what happens
- 4:06Speaker 4: with the market, but it has bounced back a little bit.
- 4:11Speaker 4: This year is one of those years where diversification is winning.
- 4:17Speaker 4: It's not the tech stocks winning, it's not seven companies
- 4:20Speaker 4: that are moving the market. Diversification, a diversified portfolio is
- 4:26Speaker 4: standing up and performing the way you would want it
- 4:30Speaker 4: to in this type of environment. If you're in a
- 4:32Speaker 4: blended portfolio, you haven't been hurt much this year. You know,
- 4:36Speaker 4: you've had some ups and downs, but it's been relatively
- 4:40Speaker 4: relatively mild for you. You know, if you're in a diverse
- 4:42Speaker 4: noted portfolio. You certainly never should never have experienced the
- 4:47Speaker 4: true brunt of the correction, because bonds this year are up,
- 4:50Speaker 4: international stocks are up double digits this year already. There
- 4:55Speaker 4: are lots of places in the market that have performed
- 5:00Speaker 4: very well, and so diversification would have worked well for
- 5:04Speaker 4: you this year in your portfolio to shield you largely
- 5:08Speaker 4: from much of the volatility that's been on the headlines.
- 5:12Speaker 3: And again that's just what you talk about every single week.
- 5:14Speaker 3: You know, you have to make sure that you're diversified.
- 5:17Speaker 3: You're paying attention to overallow on the headlines, but you
- 5:19Speaker 3: have to be nimble. You have to be able to
- 5:20Speaker 3: move when things need to be moved. I was thinking
- 5:22Speaker 3: about with the not quite yo yo effect of the market,
- 5:26Speaker 3: but it's been a little volatile up and down a
- 5:27Speaker 3: little bit and things like that. For people that invest
- 5:30Speaker 3: mostly in mutual funds and different things along those lines,
- 5:35Speaker 3: volatility or even slight corrections or something like that, it's
- 5:38Speaker 3: like a domino effect within those funds and everything too right.
- 5:41Speaker 3: So it's not like these people are in PCs in life.
- 5:44Speaker 3: It's not like they just sit there and say, oh no,
- 5:45Speaker 3: the markets down are mutual funds is going to cry.
- 5:47Speaker 3: They take actions behind the scenes as well to fortify
- 5:50Speaker 3: the fund, and all of that works to some degree
- 5:52Speaker 3: where depending on where you are in that scope of things,
- 5:57Speaker 3: you should understand that everybody's working towards that level out.
- 6:00Speaker 3: You know, nobody's just want to sit on their heels
- 6:02Speaker 3: and be like, hey, the market's in correction. I guess
- 6:04Speaker 3: you're just gonna lose money because there's opportunity. Even when
- 6:07Speaker 3: some industries are in correction, there's opportunity elsewhere. And if
- 6:10Speaker 3: you're in a fund, a lot of those people in
- 6:11Speaker 3: the funds are working on that. But if you're diversified
- 6:13Speaker 3: in your portfolio, then you shouldn't affect that teeter tottering
- 6:16Speaker 3: sense anyway.
- 6:17Speaker 4: Yeah, I think the big thing to remember in the funds,
- 6:20Speaker 4: some of these funds have certain mandates of the areas
- 6:23Speaker 4: of the market they're supposed to play in. You know,
- 6:25Speaker 4: this is my sandbox, and I play in that area,
- 6:28Speaker 4: and sometimes that's a bad area to be in, regardless
- 6:32Speaker 4: of what regardless of what they do, that doesn't mean
- 6:35Speaker 4: the fund is bad or the manager is bad. It
- 6:37Speaker 4: means that sector of the market is bad. So when
- 6:39Speaker 4: you own a diversified portfolio, you know, a lot of
- 6:43Speaker 4: times what you want to see are varying performances amongst
- 6:48Speaker 4: your funds that you own, some very good, some very bad. Maybe,
- 6:53Speaker 4: but you really want to see your fund managers in
- 6:56Speaker 4: a diversified portfolio to stay in their lane, to stay
- 6:59Speaker 4: in their own sand because then that way that assures
- 7:03Speaker 4: that you are getting the diversification you want. If every
- 7:07Speaker 4: manager you have, let's say you owned ten funds in
- 7:10Speaker 4: your portfolio, if every fund manager chases what's hot, then
- 7:15Speaker 4: you have no diversification.
- 7:16Speaker 3: So we talked about this just briefly last week with
- 7:18Speaker 3: the allocation drift or the gold drift, where if you're
- 7:21Speaker 3: in the fund, if that fund's being managed to the
- 7:23Speaker 3: point where they're not meeting their brief to the stated
- 7:28Speaker 3: to the stated point of the fund, but they're like, well,
- 7:30Speaker 3: we better solidify our returns or people aren't gonna like
- 7:33Speaker 3: the fund anymore. I mean, on the on the surface,
- 7:37Speaker 3: maybe that's true. People chasing profits are like, oh, what
- 7:39Speaker 3: do you mean they were only up x percent instead
- 7:41Speaker 3: of another percent. But if they stuck to the brief
- 7:43Speaker 3: and then the next time there's a rotation in the
- 7:45Speaker 3: market or something like that, then they're right in the
- 7:47Speaker 3: in the pocket where you expect them to beat, right.
- 7:49Speaker 4: So so when you look at those funds, you know,
- 7:52Speaker 4: International is an example that was that was cold for
- 7:55Speaker 4: several years. You know, it's not that or those funds
- 7:59Speaker 4: up or down. They were probably down if they were
- 8:01Speaker 4: in their space, regardless of how good the manager was.
- 8:04Speaker 4: You know, how did it perform, How did that fund
- 8:07Speaker 4: perform within its peer group, within the other managers that
- 8:11Speaker 4: are in that space. You know, you evaluate it that
- 8:14Speaker 4: way versus you know, it's unfair to compare the the
- 8:18Speaker 4: international fund to the big tech stock in the last
- 8:21Speaker 4: couple of years. There's just no way unless unless those
- 8:24Speaker 4: funds gave up on their mandate and decided to buy
- 8:26Speaker 4: big US tech stocks, they would ever compete in return. Well,
- 8:31Speaker 4: that's okay. In a diverse fied portfolio, you know, the
- 8:34Speaker 4: the idea is that you don't herd into, you know,
- 8:37Speaker 4: all one type of investment. You stay diversified, and you
- 8:40Speaker 4: can see how that plays out any year like this year,
- 8:43Speaker 4: where there are bright spots inside the market that if
- 8:48Speaker 4: you were spread across it appropriately, you would have been
- 8:54Speaker 4: you know, cushioned largely from from the volatility we've had
- 8:57Speaker 4: this year.
- 8:58Speaker 3: That's great information and council advice or Sage advice always
- 9:01Speaker 3: a sage council, always from John Bredet from Fourth Avenue Financial.
- 9:04Speaker 3: If you have any questions about how you can retire
- 9:05Speaker 3: writing a questions about the market in general, or about
- 9:08Speaker 3: your funds. Maybe had a change in life. We haven't
- 9:10Speaker 3: talked about some of these things a lot recently, but
- 9:12Speaker 3: if you recently got married or divorce, possibly a new
- 9:15Speaker 3: kid on the way, maybe your kid you discovered they
- 9:19Speaker 3: have an amazing piano talent, or somedings you're looking at
- 9:21Speaker 3: the well. You know we're gonna have to try to
- 9:22Speaker 3: get a tutor down the line somewhere, anything along those lines,
- 9:25Speaker 3: and you're wanting to know how to make that work
- 9:26Speaker 3: in your financial future. John can maybe help you out
- 9:28Speaker 3: this morning, at least get you on the right path
- 9:30Speaker 3: and give us call this morning. Three zero four three
- 9:31Speaker 3: four two eight one three one three zero four, three
- 9:33Speaker 3: four two eight one to three one. So much like
- 9:38Speaker 3: you talk about on the show all the time, and
- 9:39Speaker 3: we talk about every Monday, what happened with the market
- 9:42Speaker 3: last week, happened with the market a little better than
- 9:44Speaker 3: what we've seen in the past. All you can do
- 9:47Speaker 3: is is basically observe and don't overreact. I mean that's
- 9:52Speaker 3: really that's really what you want to do. You don't
- 9:54Speaker 3: want to react to every single thing that you see.
- 9:56Speaker 4: Yeah, that's for sure. I mean, when when the market
- 9:59Speaker 4: is going to do, what the market's going to do,
- 10:01Speaker 4: what's important with the market is making sure that you
- 10:06Speaker 4: have built the portfolio around what your needs are. I
- 10:11Speaker 4: hear it a lot on my end, you know, from folks,
- 10:14Speaker 4: well I don't want to invest because the market is
- 10:17Speaker 4: is too high?
- 10:18Speaker 3: What does that mean?
- 10:19Speaker 4: Or or I don't want to invest? You know it?
- 10:22Speaker 4: The concept of what goes up must come down, and
- 10:27Speaker 4: that works in the terms in the realm of gravity. Yeah,
- 10:32Speaker 4: you know, if you jump, you're you're going to finally
- 10:35Speaker 4: hit the ground.
- 10:35Speaker 3: That we have relativity special relatively, we have a.
- 10:37Speaker 4: Whole we have Michael Jordan can hold it a little
- 10:40Speaker 4: a little higher than I could hold it up there,
- 10:42Speaker 4: but eventually gravity even gets Michael Jordan down to the ground.
- 10:46Speaker 4: The market doesn't work that way. The market doesn't have
- 10:49Speaker 4: to come down just because it went up. The market
- 10:53Speaker 4: is an expanding asset, an expanding pool. Because earnings right now,
- 11:00Speaker 4: you know, the market's at record highs or close to
- 11:02Speaker 4: record highs. Even with our pullback, well, earnings are at
- 11:05Speaker 4: record highs. Earnings have expanded, and you know, the idea
- 11:10Speaker 4: that that just evaporates overnight or it has to evaporate,
- 11:15Speaker 4: is that doesn't make a lot of sense when you
- 11:17Speaker 4: look at the history of the market, or even logically,
- 11:21Speaker 4: you know the market has billions and billions of individuals
- 11:26Speaker 4: and moving parts in it. But we could break this
- 11:29Speaker 4: down really to something much more simple. To illustrate it,
- 11:35Speaker 4: Let's say you're on an island and there are ten
- 11:38Speaker 4: people on the island, and those ten people need two
- 11:42Speaker 4: fish a day to survive. So you need twenty fish
- 11:47Speaker 4: for those ten people to survive on that island, to
- 11:51Speaker 4: feed themselves on the island. And as it turns out,
- 11:55Speaker 4: about two fish a day is all an individual can
- 11:58Speaker 4: can catch on this eyeland. So everybody is out there
- 12:03Speaker 4: trying to survive to catch two fish for themselves. Now,
- 12:08Speaker 4: let's say one person thinks, you know what, there's got
- 12:11Speaker 4: to be a better way to do this. I'm gonna
- 12:15Speaker 4: what if I make a net and I take that
- 12:19Speaker 4: net out into the water and lo and behold, it works,
- 12:21Speaker 4: and now one person can catch twenty fish. Well, one
- 12:28Speaker 4: person is now catching enough fish to feed the whole island.
- 12:33Speaker 4: That leaves nine people unemployed. Okay, so now you have
- 12:40Speaker 4: one person catching enough fish. Well, now the guy with
- 12:43Speaker 4: all the fish can say, look, don't bother fishing today.
- 12:47Speaker 4: What about you know we could use some we can
- 12:51Speaker 4: use some chips to go with our fish. You know,
- 12:54Speaker 4: why don't you grow some crops instead of spending your
- 12:58Speaker 4: time fishing. Well, now everybody on the island has something else.
- 13:02Speaker 4: One person might say, you know what, it'd be nice,
- 13:06Speaker 4: since it's raining, if I had a roof over in
- 13:08Speaker 4: my head and all of a sudden, one or two
- 13:10Speaker 4: people on the island now have free time to put
- 13:13Speaker 4: a roof over their head. You know, you start looking
- 13:16Speaker 4: at that. That's how an economy is. That's how an
- 13:18Speaker 4: economy develops. And it is not a stagnant resource. You know,
- 13:24Speaker 4: one person does not have to take from another to
- 13:30Speaker 4: have more for themselves. Really, in an economy like that,
- 13:34Speaker 4: and we've talked about it before on the show, wealth
- 13:39Speaker 4: is created when you serve other people, when you become
- 13:43Speaker 4: more efficient and produce more efficiently. And that's what the
- 13:49Speaker 4: that's what the stock market is based on. That expanding pool,
- 13:53Speaker 4: and you can see that with the earnings over time.
- 13:56Speaker 4: You know, yes, sometimes we have a bad year and
- 13:59Speaker 4: earnings might stager made, earnings might fall a little bit,
- 14:03Speaker 4: but largely because of that process, it continues, it expands.
- 14:11Speaker 4: You know, earnings this year are much more than they
- 14:13Speaker 4: were five years ago, are much more than they were
- 14:16Speaker 4: ten years ago. You can see it working in your
- 14:19Speaker 4: daily life. Look at the last ten years, the products
- 14:23Speaker 4: that we have that we didn't have ten years ago.
- 14:25Speaker 3: It's incredible.
- 14:25Speaker 4: Twenty years ago, thirty years ago, fifty years ago. You know,
- 14:30Speaker 4: clearly there has been large amounts of wealth created that
- 14:36Speaker 4: didn't exist before. And so the concept of the market
- 14:40Speaker 4: isn't it's high, high relative to what you know it
- 14:46Speaker 4: if you are patient and trust that process. It's creative destruction.
- 14:51Speaker 4: You know, when when the person invents something, it might
- 14:55Speaker 4: disrupt things, it might change the way things are done,
- 14:58Speaker 4: but if it's more efficient, it's good for the whole
- 15:02Speaker 4: over time. You know, in industries that change, you know,
- 15:05Speaker 4: you see people you know around here. Coal mining, for instance,
- 15:10Speaker 4: is not as big of an employer as it used
- 15:13Speaker 4: to be, and that's not good if you worked in
- 15:16Speaker 4: those in those industries, but as a whole, energy is
- 15:20Speaker 4: cheaper now than it has been before because things are
- 15:23Speaker 4: done more efficiently. And so the key in an economy,
- 15:26Speaker 4: both as an individual and as an investor to look
- 15:28Speaker 4: at how am I going to be valuable personally or
- 15:32Speaker 4: how are my companies being valuable to other people and
- 15:37Speaker 4: stick with that. And if you stick with that, you
- 15:39Speaker 4: know that a lot of the fear melts away of
- 15:43Speaker 4: well the market's going to fall and never come back. Well,
- 15:47Speaker 4: the market will come back because unless people forget how
- 15:50Speaker 4: to fish right right, you know, and unless people just
- 15:53Speaker 4: completely their skills evaporate, you know, the dollar bill could
- 15:57Speaker 4: go away. But if we can serve one another, we'll
- 16:01Speaker 4: figure out a way to trade.
- 16:02Speaker 3: That, right, yeah, yeah, right, yeah.
- 16:06Speaker 4: That dollar bill is not wealth. The ability to produce
- 16:10Speaker 4: the goods and services that we all desire and need
- 16:13Speaker 4: is how you build wealth. And that's what you're doing
- 16:15Speaker 4: in your portfolio. And I think when the market gets rocky,
- 16:18Speaker 4: when fear gets high, you know, it's a good thing
- 16:21Speaker 4: to think about what you're really doing when you invest.
- 16:25Speaker 4: It's not just numbers on a page. There's there's something
- 16:28Speaker 4: real behind that that is going on that is extremely
- 16:31Speaker 4: powerful over time in creating wealth. And you know, the
- 16:37Speaker 4: key then if you think about it that way, it
- 16:39Speaker 4: is not will the market go down? You know, we
- 16:44Speaker 4: know that the market has ups and downs and swings
- 16:46Speaker 4: here and there. The key is I need to participate
- 16:49Speaker 4: in that and do I have the time horizon as
- 16:52Speaker 4: an individual to deal with that volatility? And if I don't,
- 16:57Speaker 4: then some of this money probably doesn't belong in the
- 16:59Speaker 4: more market or it belongs to other types of assets.
- 17:03Speaker 4: But if I have money that that I'm not touching
- 17:05Speaker 4: for a while, or I'm not needing to utilize from
- 17:09Speaker 4: a you know, monthly income for instance, in retirement, you
- 17:13Speaker 4: know that should be stock market money. That's where the
- 17:15Speaker 4: wealth is created. Just because of that illustration that we
- 17:19Speaker 4: just walk through, I mean, it's a it's a kind
- 17:22Speaker 4: of a basic concept, but I think it's lost a
- 17:24Speaker 4: lot in the in the in the headlines that that
- 17:28Speaker 4: are out there trying to, you know, get us to
- 17:31Speaker 4: click or strike fear in us so we take certain actions.
- 17:34Speaker 3: Does this seem right to you? And I'm kind of
- 17:35Speaker 3: trying to just backf off this on things that I've
- 17:38Speaker 3: read in the psychology of economy and things like that.
- 17:40Speaker 3: It seems like that maybe it's human nature. And of
- 17:45Speaker 3: course in America, I think that this happens a lot
- 17:48Speaker 3: because we are so such a sports heavy culture. I
- 17:51Speaker 3: think that we tend to look at even the market
- 17:53Speaker 3: as wins and losses, and we use that venacular a
- 17:57Speaker 3: lot of the time. You know, the market one today
- 17:59Speaker 3: or there were is today or whatever. But the wins
- 18:01Speaker 3: and losses within that context are different than a sports
- 18:04Speaker 3: winner loss and and because in sports, somebody really does lose,
- 18:09Speaker 3: you know, whereas in the market you're it's like it's
- 18:12Speaker 3: a daily thing necessarily, but in the long run, everybody
- 18:15Speaker 3: wins to some degree. And I feel like that that
- 18:17Speaker 3: we talk about things in these absolutes, like right like
- 18:21Speaker 3: like either we we won the day or we lost
- 18:23Speaker 3: the day. That that uh, that the the stock that
- 18:27Speaker 3: our investment is either doing the best or it's doing
- 18:30Speaker 3: the worst. You know, there's a gradient of everything within
- 18:34Speaker 3: investing is a gradient of of success. It just depends
- 18:37Speaker 3: on really how how long you have for that success
- 18:39Speaker 3: to play out. And it feels to me that the
- 18:41Speaker 3: psychology behind it sometimes is a lot like the sports
- 18:44Speaker 3: psychology or gambling psychology. You know, you hear people sometimes
- 18:47Speaker 3: say oh, the starting work. It's nothing but gambling. No,
- 18:49Speaker 3: it's not. It would be like gambling. If the house
- 18:51Speaker 3: let you invest in its winnings, then maybe it would
- 18:53Speaker 3: be similar. But otherwise it's not like that at all.
- 18:56Speaker 4: Right, you know, gambling is a is nothing is created there.
- 19:00Speaker 4: But that's truly you know, money just passing on chance.
- 19:05Speaker 4: You know, wealth is created inside these companies as they're
- 19:10Speaker 4: serving their their customers. And that's a whole different that's
- 19:14Speaker 4: a whole different ballgame, you know. You know, I'm trying
- 19:19Speaker 4: to trying to take it back to the island. Uh.
- 19:21Speaker 4: You know, gambling thing if if you know, if if
- 19:24Speaker 4: a person, instead of of producing other goods and services,
- 19:28Speaker 4: say well, I'm just going to gamble. I want to
- 19:31Speaker 4: bet to fish. Uh, you know, there's still the same
- 19:35Speaker 4: number of fish there even if the person wins, then
- 19:39Speaker 4: that does come from somebody else. That is that is
- 19:42Speaker 4: dividing a static pie up where the economy is not
- 19:49Speaker 4: doing that. The economy is expanding the pot. And that's
- 19:52Speaker 4: a whole different thing than gambling. And you know that's
- 19:58Speaker 4: there are so many things like that, Like you say,
- 20:01Speaker 4: what goes up must come down. The gambling concept that
- 20:04Speaker 4: you hear all the time that you know, it's natural
- 20:07Speaker 4: for people to think that way until you look a
- 20:10Speaker 4: little deeper into what's actually going on, and then once
- 20:13Speaker 4: you look down below the hood a little bit, you
- 20:16Speaker 4: realize that you know there's something real here. It's not
- 20:19Speaker 4: just the fact that these are numbers on a page
- 20:21Speaker 4: and it's chance that it goes up or down. You know,
- 20:25Speaker 4: these companies, even if the stock is down, are earning
- 20:28Speaker 4: record earnings right now. They have to do something with
- 20:31Speaker 4: those earnings. What are they doing with those earnings. They're
- 20:33Speaker 4: either returning them to you the shareholder through dividends or
- 20:36Speaker 4: buyb ACKs. They're acquiring other companies, They're developing new goods
- 20:40Speaker 4: and services. There's all kinds of things that they're doing
- 20:45Speaker 4: with those earnings that keep the economy expanding.
- 20:48Speaker 3: Yeah, I remember that. I used to read a little
- 20:51Speaker 3: bit of Buck mister Fuller, and although his concepts didn't
- 20:55Speaker 3: overlay perfectly over capitalism, he had some pretty odd ideas
- 20:59Speaker 3: about some things everyone once in a while, but much
- 21:01Speaker 3: to what you're talking about. He felt like anytime that
- 21:03Speaker 3: you invented or innovated into something that helped society become
- 21:07Speaker 3: more efficient in doing something that that should free out
- 21:09Speaker 3: the universal brain power. Basically, there's so many watts of
- 21:13Speaker 3: brain power that the earth has to apply towards problems,
- 21:16Speaker 3: and every time you make a problem easier, that allows
- 21:18Speaker 3: for more of that brain power to go towards other problems,
- 21:20Speaker 3: and eventually you cycle through and you start tackling really
- 21:23Speaker 3: huge issues. That's not quite the way the world works
- 21:25Speaker 3: on everything, but within isolated moments, and especially like something
- 21:28Speaker 3: like the market or something like that, that's absolutely how it works.
- 21:31Speaker 3: Things become easier, an industry takes off something like that,
- 21:34Speaker 3: it creates other things that people can do based off
- 21:37Speaker 3: of that.
- 21:37Speaker 4: Right, I mean, you see that right now. There's a
- 21:40Speaker 4: lot of fear that I hear people talking about, Well
- 21:43Speaker 4: what about all these government employees that are being downsized
- 21:46Speaker 4: and outsized and let go. Well, were they being employed
- 21:52Speaker 4: efficiently in the first place? Yes, maybe maybe not. I'm
- 21:56Speaker 4: not an expert on any of these things, but what
- 21:58Speaker 4: I do know now is that they're going to have
- 22:01Speaker 4: to find something to do, and that's going to be
- 22:05Speaker 4: directed towards some other problems society has. Any industry is
- 22:09Speaker 4: like that, any industry that there's disruption and change and innovation,
- 22:15Speaker 4: it's not good for the old way of doing things,
- 22:19Speaker 4: and it's creative destruction essentially, and you're going to have
- 22:24Speaker 4: that in the economy and it's always going to churn
- 22:26Speaker 4: like that. But that process is while me and you
- 22:30Speaker 4: is setting here today have more wealth, more access to
- 22:35Speaker 4: goods and services, the ability to do things much much
- 22:38Speaker 4: easier than John D. Rockefeller could do one hundred years ago.
- 22:44Speaker 4: I mean, we're just two average guys setting on a mic,
- 22:48Speaker 4: and we can do things. You know, if you want
- 22:52Speaker 4: to eat a pine apple today, you walk down to
- 22:54Speaker 4: the store and you buy a pine apple. You know,
- 22:56Speaker 4: try that. One hundred years it was impossible. Just simple
- 22:59Speaker 4: things like that are possible today, even acuse of that process.
- 23:04Speaker 3: That's a great point when you think of something as
- 23:05Speaker 3: simple as the banana. I mean, we almost lost bananas,
- 23:07Speaker 3: you know, we had we had we had a clone
- 23:09Speaker 3: bananas for there to be bananas worldwide. You know, that
- 23:12Speaker 3: was not an altruistic effort. You know, people wanted to
- 23:14Speaker 3: sell bananas, you know. But I love banana, So I'm
- 23:17Speaker 3: kind of glad although we don't have the variety that
- 23:19Speaker 3: maybe we once had because of of of some of
- 23:23Speaker 3: the crops dying out at least. We have bananas today
- 23:25Speaker 3: and there's nothing wrong with that. Let's take a break.
- 23:27Speaker 3: We need to take a break, pay the bills, and
- 23:28Speaker 3: then when we come back, still have some time left.

- 26:54Speaker 3: welcome to three zero four three four two eight one
- 26:56Speaker 3: three one three four two eight one three one if
- 26:58Speaker 3: you have any questions for John about how you can
- 27:00Speaker 3: tire Right about anything that that you've seen come about recently.
- 27:04Speaker 3: Once again, the FED ret met again recently and there
- 27:08Speaker 3: was a lot of people surprised with the action in
- 27:10Speaker 3: the market after the FED met, But as we've talked
- 27:13Speaker 3: about on this show before. It was kind of what
- 27:15Speaker 3: we expected as so far as interest rate cuts or
- 27:18Speaker 3: not cuts and everything else.
- 27:19Speaker 4: Yeah, pretty much. I think the FED is still expecting
- 27:23Speaker 4: two rate cuts this year. We'll see if they happen.
- 27:25Speaker 4: I mean, everything's been backing off rate cuts. Some of
- 27:29Speaker 4: it I think is going to be predicated on the
- 27:32Speaker 4: actual tariffs that do go through and and and the
- 27:35Speaker 4: impact that they have. Although you know, the expectation is
- 27:40Speaker 4: if there is an inflationary aspect to the tariffs, it
- 27:43Speaker 4: will be a one time not at ongoing, ongoing thing,
- 27:47Speaker 4: at least historically that's how they've played out in the past.
- 27:50Speaker 4: So you know, the FED almost seems to in the
- 27:54Speaker 4: market as well, seems to almost like that's going to
- 28:01Speaker 4: be a non event, you know, as far as it's
- 28:04Speaker 4: a one time adjustment, but it's not going to affect
- 28:06Speaker 4: the trajectory of everything else after that adjustment.
- 28:09Speaker 3: So just so I'm I understand exactly what that means.
- 28:13Speaker 3: I guess a microscale, a one time adjustment still means
- 28:17Speaker 3: what goes up doesn't necessarily mean it has to come down.
- 28:19Speaker 3: So that still means that that on top of all
- 28:22Speaker 3: the other inflationary issues that we've had over the course
- 28:25Speaker 3: of the last five years or so, the one time
- 28:26Speaker 3: adjustment is and top of that and then hopefully things
- 28:30Speaker 3: so you're still looking at massive pain from five years
- 28:32Speaker 3: ago or seven years ago or whatever it is, but
- 28:35Speaker 3: hopefully it levels out and not.
- 28:37Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, so, you know, if inflation has been falling,
- 28:41Speaker 4: you know, the expectation is is that it keeps the
- 28:45Speaker 4: underlying inflation keeps falling. There could be a one time
- 28:48Speaker 4: adjustment depending on what the tariffs are, you know, as
- 28:52Speaker 4: they're done that month, but that still doesn't stop the
- 28:57Speaker 4: downward trend that we're on as far as as far
- 28:59Speaker 4: as some goes. At least that's what the expectations seemed
- 29:02Speaker 4: to be for most folks, and and from history anytime
- 29:06Speaker 4: tariffs are played in and you know, there's a lot
- 29:08Speaker 4: of talk as oh, this is a twenty percent tariff,
- 29:12Speaker 4: that means prices go up twenty percent. That doesn't mean
- 29:15Speaker 4: that at all. It is a very very small percentage
- 29:22Speaker 4: of the actual tariff ends up filtering through because there
- 29:27Speaker 4: are ways to mitigate tariffs. Largely, you know, companies produce elsewhere.
- 29:35Speaker 4: Companies you know, shift shift things around, change suppliers. Companies
- 29:39Speaker 4: have to sharpen their pencils sometimes and figure out how
- 29:41Speaker 4: to be more efficient to maintain their profit margins and
- 29:44Speaker 4: absorb some of that. I mean, there are lots of
- 29:47Speaker 4: ways that that tariff gets spread out in the economy.
- 29:51Speaker 4: It's not always consumer prices, so you know, so we'll
- 29:57Speaker 4: see how that plays out. But as a right now,
- 30:00Speaker 4: the Fed still is expecting a couple of rate cuts
- 30:03Speaker 4: this year. The bond market is behaving the way the
- 30:09Speaker 4: way you would expect it to be. It's it's a
- 30:13Speaker 4: kind of a ballast in a in a in a
- 30:14Speaker 4: choppy stock market, and uh, you know, I think I
- 30:21Speaker 4: think it's just kind of wait and see, will will
- 30:23Speaker 4: we get more volatility? Maybe maybe not, But certainly the
- 30:29Speaker 4: market is not going down simply because it's high. You know.
- 30:33Speaker 4: It's it's largely short term emotions that move the market
- 30:38Speaker 4: from day to day more so than anything.
- 30:40Speaker 3: And it's and it's amazing too when you think about,
- 30:43Speaker 3: you know, people that maybe aren't day to day inclusive
- 30:47Speaker 3: into talking about the market and different things like that.
- 30:49Speaker 3: They might hear about the headlines on Tesla or something
- 30:52Speaker 3: like that. It's like, oh, things must be going terrible
- 30:54Speaker 3: because of all the stuff that's happened with Tesla there there.
- 30:56Speaker 3: Their stock has not been doing great, and there's all
- 30:59Speaker 3: this other stuff. But you look broadly at everything that
- 31:01Speaker 3: I mean doesn't affect the market as a whole at all.
- 31:03Speaker 3: Maybe it might kind of stink for Tesla, but it
- 31:05Speaker 3: doesn't affect much of it.
- 31:06Speaker 4: Yeah, And even with Tesla or any of these you know,
- 31:09Speaker 4: headline stocks, I mean, if you look at them, Navidia,
- 31:12Speaker 4: you know, any of those big tech stocks, they's still
- 31:16Speaker 4: way higher than they were a year ago or two
- 31:18Speaker 4: years ago. And certainly beyond that. You know, it's not
- 31:23Speaker 4: as if the world has ended. The world existed when
- 31:27Speaker 4: when Tesla was two hundred and thirty dollars a share,
- 31:30Speaker 4: just as it existed when it was three hundred and
- 31:32Speaker 4: fifty dollars a share. You know, which is the right
- 31:36Speaker 4: price long term? Who knows, a lot of it depends
- 31:38Speaker 4: on how Tesla continues to develop.
- 31:41Speaker 3: You mentioned Navidia there that actually reminded me of something
- 31:43Speaker 3: I wanted to ask you about, And you were talking
- 31:44Speaker 3: about the way that people evaluate making the fish or
- 31:50Speaker 3: winners or losers, or how it might be. Navidia is
- 31:52Speaker 3: actually a great stock to look at in that regard
- 31:54Speaker 3: because quote unquote winning on the stock, you know, was
- 31:57Speaker 3: maybe if you got in on the basement level and
- 31:59Speaker 3: then you wrote thing to the top and it did
- 32:01Speaker 3: so great over last year and and and that was
- 32:03Speaker 3: a great stock for folks. People that didn't get in
- 32:06Speaker 3: at that point might think, well, you know, maybe they
- 32:08Speaker 3: didn't lose, but the opportunity is not there or anything.
- 32:10Speaker 3: But at some point the stock matures and that's just
- 32:13Speaker 3: a good stock to invest in. You know, you may
- 32:16Speaker 3: not get in on the on the on the rise up,
- 32:18Speaker 3: you may not make that huge amount of percentage increase,
- 32:20Speaker 3: but eventually Navidia just settles in to being a really
- 32:22Speaker 3: good stack tech stock and you might want to invest
- 32:25Speaker 3: in it. It may not be the highest rising, but
- 32:26Speaker 3: it could still be a very very good solid stock.
- 32:29Speaker 4: Well taking it. Microsoft is as another exclassle that that is.
- 32:34Speaker 4: I mean, it went for a long time where it
- 32:36Speaker 4: was seems stagnant. Heck, for the last year it's been
- 32:39Speaker 4: dead money essentially, But I can tell you they're earning
- 32:42Speaker 4: billions and millions of dollars. You know, that money is
- 32:44Speaker 4: going somewhere right now. They're reinvesting that into their AI projects,
- 32:48Speaker 4: for instance, and will that bear fruit in the future.
- 32:52Speaker 4: They they think that it will. That's why they're making
- 32:55Speaker 4: those investments. Could they be wrong, of course, they could
- 32:58Speaker 4: be wrong, but they've made the decision to make those investments. Now.
- 33:03Speaker 4: If they're correct, what happens their pie keeps expanding and
- 33:07Speaker 4: those earnings keep expanding. If they're wrong, yes, they've suck
- 33:12Speaker 4: the money in projects that may not bear fruit. But
- 33:14Speaker 4: still the underlying business is making billions and billion, ten
- 33:18Speaker 4: billion dollars a month in profit, and that's fuel to
- 33:23Speaker 4: do a lot of things.
- 33:24Speaker 3: That's the whole point of that underlying business, right is
- 33:26Speaker 3: you have, you know, your core business that makes your money,
- 33:28Speaker 3: and then it allows you to make investments into hopefully
- 33:30Speaker 3: future technologies that go to the next level. Not every
- 33:33Speaker 3: future technology works. I mean, how many times has metas
- 33:35Speaker 3: tried to start the meta space, you know? I mean
- 33:37Speaker 3: that thing's been a failure like three different times now.
- 33:39Speaker 3: And it might finally be catching on, but that's because
- 33:41Speaker 3: other players are now getting into the field and it's
- 33:44Speaker 3: not just Meta that's doing it. But that was something
- 33:45Speaker 3: that people were speculating on for a long time, hoping
- 33:48Speaker 3: that it was the next big thing and it never
- 33:49Speaker 3: really caught on.
- 33:50Speaker 4: No, No, I mean it turns out people like the
- 33:53Speaker 4: real world a little bit.
- 33:55Speaker 3: It is true. Although I was doing some reading. We
- 33:57Speaker 3: actually talked about this on Friday on hotline, and I
- 34:00Speaker 3: was doing some research into some of these virtual spaces,
- 34:03Speaker 3: and it is pretty like I don't know if it's
- 34:06Speaker 3: impressive or not. Like to know that fifteen point five
- 34:09Speaker 3: million people went to a Black Pink concert virtually on
- 34:11Speaker 3: line seems huge, right, right, that seems huge, But it's
- 34:15Speaker 3: on line? Is it that big? I mean, I don't know.
- 34:17Speaker 3: I mean that's less people than listen to like a
- 34:20Speaker 3: Joe Rogan podcast, you know, So I mean it's all
- 34:22Speaker 3: relative right to the way that stuff works out.
- 34:25Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean essentially what you're talking about there is
- 34:28Speaker 4: is just do you get eyeballs right?
- 34:30Speaker 3: Exactly? Exactly true.
- 34:32Speaker 4: And if that's a way that you know, when when
- 34:35Speaker 4: we were younger, everybody in America was wondering who shot JR?
- 34:40Speaker 4: Everybody's eyeballs right right there?
- 34:42Speaker 3: It was engagement, just it was just a different type
- 34:43Speaker 3: of engagement, right. One of the things that I've seen
- 34:46Speaker 3: specs of And as a sports fan, you might find
- 34:48Speaker 3: this interesting as well. The virtual the augmented reality glasses
- 34:52Speaker 3: that you can get like like Metabase or something like that,
- 34:54Speaker 3: but where you can use those for sporting events. I
- 34:57Speaker 3: love the facts that fact like, I think this might
- 34:59Speaker 3: actually be neat. You could watch a sporting event, maybe
- 35:01Speaker 3: even live. Like if you're at a baseball game and
- 35:03Speaker 3: you have these things on that you look at the
- 35:05Speaker 3: player and their player card with all their stats and stuff,
- 35:08Speaker 3: or right there beside of them, you know, and you
- 35:09Speaker 3: can like hit a button and see like highlights or whatever.
- 35:11Speaker 3: It might be. Like stuff like that actually sounds kind
- 35:13Speaker 3: of interesting.
- 35:14Speaker 4: To be too interesting. I mean that sounds that sounds
- 35:17Speaker 4: like you're you're turning into a T nine.
- 35:21Speaker 3: But imagine like you're watching a basketball game and a
- 35:23Speaker 3: guy takes a shot from like the three point arc,
- 35:25Speaker 3: and after he takes the shot, the little circle stays
- 35:27Speaker 3: there and it shows like what his percentage is shooting
- 35:29Speaker 3: from there. I mean, just like, stuff like that sounds
- 35:31Speaker 3: like it might be kind of neat.
- 35:32Speaker 4: Or if you're a golf and have the tracer perfect
- 35:35Speaker 4: idea of glasses so you can see where the ball.
- 35:37Speaker 3: Exactly where it goes, exactly the distance the pitch, the
- 35:40Speaker 3: you know, the speed of the ball, different things like
- 35:41Speaker 3: that kind of neat However, that's not going to replace
- 35:44Speaker 3: for me anyway going live, Like I wouldn't want to
- 35:46Speaker 3: do that just in a box, like sit in my
- 35:48Speaker 3: in my home with a pair of glasses on and
- 35:51Speaker 3: watch that. Like I still want to go to the event,
- 35:52Speaker 3: but mixing the two where you're there physically and also
- 35:55Speaker 3: kind of getting this this extra sensory input like I
- 35:58Speaker 3: think in some circumstances that might actually be really cool. Yeah,
- 36:01Speaker 3: you know, Tom will tell that's something they can invest
- 36:04Speaker 3: in anyway as far as things go. And I may
- 36:06Speaker 3: get the information out for John Bredebt at Fourth Avenue
