- 0:00You know, the Federal Reserve jamed interest rates up so fast. The economy
- 0:04is holding on, but we definitely have you know, labor concerns how which
- 0:10has got to drive inflation up, things of that nature. At the housing
- 0:13concerns. You know, we're going to start seeing oil going up. They're
- 0:17talking about one hundred dollars of barrel now. Maybe one hundred dollars of barrel
- 0:20now isn't what one hundred dollars of barrel used to be ten years ago.
- 0:23But that's still expensive for oil that's gonna show up in our pocket. So
- 0:28I see meaningful downside in the market ahead. Now you are listening to Carrie

- 1:00You are listening to watching the Financial Survival Network. I'm your host, Carry
- 1:03Lotts. Well markets, what are they going to do? Our rates still
- 1:07going to go higher. The Fed has taken a pause, but how long
- 1:11will that pause last four. That's the question. I'd like to know your
- 1:15opinion. How high will rates go? In your opinion, will we hit
- 1:19double digits? Unlikely, but you never know. Hey, send us an
- 1:23email k l at Kerry Lutz dot com. Right now, we've got our
- 1:30good friend James Locke from poollock dot com with us. Hey, James,
- 1:34great to have you back. And so the rates, what do you think
- 1:40is going to happen here? I mean today, Hey, it's September twenty
- 1:42five. Up until about a half hour ago, when I looked at markets,
- 1:47they were pretty much read across the board. Is this a portent of
- 1:52things to come? Or is it all just temporary? Now? I would
- 1:59I would think it's in the ocasions of things to come. You know,
- 2:02the Fed is indicated that we're going to stay here for a while, and
- 2:08that actually spooked the markets a little bit. You know when when they didn't
- 2:13raise rates the last at the last meeting, they basically came out and said,
- 2:16hey, we didn't raise rates, but you guys are all off target,
- 2:20right, We're not going to be lowering as soon as you thought,
- 2:23right, And you know, when when do they think that, you know,
- 2:29it's gonna come around. Probably we might start here in chatter in the
- 2:32first quarter next year. But I don't know that they're going to be cutting
- 2:36rates, you know, any time soon, but as far as the market
- 2:39is concerned. And we'll come back to the rates in a second. But
- 2:44when I was trading options, I was always you know, I'd love looking
- 2:46at charts and graphs and then things like that. So this one popped up
- 2:51on me. The the equal waiting. So if you think the SP five
- 2:54hundred equal weigh everything, we're two percent lower than the two hundred day moving
- 3:00average. And I know it's just numbers, right, and you got to
- 3:00take things in big pictures. But you know, history maybe doesn't repeat itself,
- 3:07but it's certainly shadows when it rhymes is and it twains Excuse to me,
- 3:12that's right? Please say so the you know the number of times that
- 3:15this has happened before August of ninety eight, January of two thousand, September
- 3:22of oh seven, October of twenty eighteen, in March of twenty twenty,
- 3:27right, those are all prominent dates in financial history, so to speak.
- 3:31Right, So I don't know what the future has got to hold, you
- 3:35know, no one, no one has that crystal wall. I can only
- 3:38look backwards, just like everyone else. But I see, you know,
- 3:43the Federal Reserve jammed interest rates up so fast. The economy is holding on,
- 3:50but we definitely have you know, labor concerns how which has got to
- 3:53drive inflation up, things of that nature, the housing concerns. You know,
- 3:58we're going to start seeing oil going up. They're talking about one hundred
- 4:00dollars a barrel now. Maybe one hundred dollars a barrel now isn't what one
- 4:03hundred dollars a barrel used to be ten years ago. But that's still expensive
- 4:08for oil, and that's gonna show up in our pocket. So I see
- 4:12meaningful downside in the market ahead. Now does that mean there's gonna be a
- 4:15crash? I don't think so. But I have no reason to sit here
- 4:19and say that. You know, you should just be in there with both
- 4:23fists trying to buy. But there's bargains. I mean, look, Baradzon
- 4:28Wireless, I can get an eight percent to dividend. There is it worth
- 4:33the risk for a Verizon? And I'm not asking you to recommend Verizon.
- 4:38I'm just giving it as an example of a stock that that's really pumping out
- 4:44the dividends or like a stock like Wanderines, right, yeah, really absolutely,
- 4:49and and you know what our you know, our our our a we're
- 4:54pumping out about four and a half four point six percent dividend portfolio on our
- 4:59stocks. I'm not anti stock walktever. I'm a bowl just like just like
- 5:02the next guy. Right. I want the market to go up, but
- 5:05in this environment, I think what you're talking about when Morizon blaw brands is
- 5:10you want to make sure you're getting paid, right. We want to make
- 5:12sure we're we're getting paid the right amount to take that risk. So we're
- 5:17taking risk for reward sake, not just risk for risk sake. Uh,
- 5:23you know kind of you know Willy Nilly and and that sort of thing.
- 5:27I mean, I have a client. I love him daily. He's awesome.
- 5:30He's just in love with Apple stock. Now, I can't tell you,
- 5:34like all Apple does is go up. I mean, Apple only goes
- 5:39up, right, that's kind but you know at some point it might not.
- 5:44Or you know the other thing is at some point, you know maybe
- 5:46you need to diversify that a little bit. And that's where you're right.
- 5:48There are lots of bargains out there. So you know, we could have
- 5:53a trickle down in the SMP and all the way back down to you know,
- 5:57four thousand or something like that, and you know, break the bank
- 6:00anywhere. But there's certainly lots of stocks and dividend pat stocks out there that
- 6:06you know, can provide opportunity that will hold their value and pay you a
- 6:10good dividend along the way. So how much risk you think there is,
- 6:15uh, you know, in these higher dividend paying stocks if the market,
- 6:19the broader market takes a big dive. I think if you're in the right
- 6:24ones, you should be able to break even. I don't I mean a
- 6:27big dive, you know, when you say a big dive like twenty twenty
- 6:30two we're talking about. Yeah, if you talk about you know, once
- 6:35you start talking about over twenty percent, it's hard to get yourself to that
- 6:40break even point. You know. We were able to in twenty twenty two,
- 6:45you know, to come out in the black very by very little,
- 6:48uh you know. And of course consequently those same dividend stocks aren't going to
- 6:54be soaring as much as they were this year, right, So you know,
- 6:57he didn't he didn't get hit on the way down, you're not going
- 6:59to scoop. But on the way back. Uh, once you start talking
- 7:01about thirty thirty five percent drop, now it's hard. You know, everything's
- 7:06you know, when the tide goes that low, everything, all ships are
- 7:09going to sink a little. But I mean, if you know, I
- 7:13was even just talking about you're talking ten percent drop. There's you know,
- 7:16there's no reason you shouldn't be able to maintain these higher dividend pieces. And
- 7:21and like I said, and even find some nuggets in there that are moving
- 7:25in the right direction. So I don't know that we're going to have a
- 7:28thirty percent drop. Don't don't quote me on that one. Hey, nobody
- 7:31knows the future, but we can kind of try to guess. We got
- 7:34to guess, right, you don't know the future, You've got to guess,
- 7:39So I guess, is there a defensive posture to take? So it's
- 7:44dividends talks. Yeah, they'll oututions and you know what's what's crazy, and
- 7:50it's it's even you know sometimes I even when I look at things, but
- 7:56you know, I always like the real estate, you know world, and
- 8:00this might you know, interest rates as high as they are, you know,
- 8:05there's only there's only so much land out there. And you know,
- 8:09we're seeing people with these very low mortgages holding on to their their properties now,
- 8:16right, So for sure, So now there's like now there's you're reducing
- 8:20inventory kind of naturally, or or the FED kind of reduced inventory naturally,
- 8:26or that might have been an effect of what happened. And guess what.
- 8:30Guess what that does. That's going to push you know, pressure on inflation,
- 8:33which is what we're trying to fight and in the long you know,
- 8:35in the long run. So you know, I do think there's value in
- 8:39the in the real estate as well. What I would hope happens. And
- 8:43you know, I know this is almost you know, and then we're gonna
- 8:46happen. But we got this government shut down, you know, kind of
- 8:50hanging over us on October one, and you know, that's that's a that's
- 8:54a storm that's brewing. But if people can communicate and not get to a
- 9:01shutdown, but figure out a way to balance the budget, right, that's
- 9:05going to help curb inflation greater than any you know, any quarter point with
- 9:09it. By the fact, that's never gonna happen, right, I mean,
- 9:11you're ever going to balance the budget. I'm praying, hey, right,
- 9:16happen back in the nineties with Clinton, right right, A lots of
- 9:20fake balancing because they were stealing from the Social Security Trust Fund. And there's
- 9:24no trust fund left so they don't have that little scam to pull anymore.
- 9:28So how do they do it right? Well? And then listen, I'm
- 9:33with you, I don't. I don't know that they're going to be able
- 9:35to balance it. And I think shutting the government down that's a that's just
- 9:41a political tactic move. It hurts more people than it helps. You know,
- 9:46in the long run, you know, your social Security check is still
- 9:48going to get paid if the government shuts down on the first, So there
- 9:52isn't you know, that kind of concern. But any sort of movement to
- 9:58you know better fiscal conservativist is going to, like I said, make a
- 10:05much bigger effect on the American people and their pockets down the line. You
- 10:11know, commerce always holds that card and they never play it because you know,
- 10:15it doesn't doesn't get votes, right, and you know that's the that's
- 10:18the problem. Yeah, So I'd like to I'd like to see them,
- 10:22I'd like to see them do more to work together to avoid this government shutdown
- 10:28on the first in such a way that's actually going to help UH. Perfect
- 10:31relationship, you know, that would be that would be the ideal situation.
- 10:35So where are we going to end up the year here, James, your
- 10:39prediction, I don't I don't see us. I think to fed whenever they
- 10:45have their meeting in November is they're going to keep beating the dram and they're
- 10:50going to push that, you know, whenever races, you are going to
- 10:52be cut even further out. I'd be surprised if we heard any kind of
- 10:56positive news out of them. So I think we end up, you know,
- 11:01closer to four thousand on the SMP than we do. To God,
- 11:07We're gonna be checking you up and we're gonna see how close your prediction comes
- 11:13to reality. James. Appreciate your coming on. Hey, thank you.
