- 1:22Speaker 3: the the forecast, and my kid, My kid's all about
- 1:24Speaker 3: the forecast. She has a weather app on her on
- 1:28Speaker 3: her tablet, and so she's always looking at the forecast.
- 1:30Speaker 3: So she told me, as a matter of fact, yesterday
- 1:31Speaker 3: she said, Daddy, it was supposed to be nicer than
- 1:33Speaker 3: this today. Herrain was supposed to start. It was supposed
- 1:35Speaker 3: to be a little warmer, I think, is what she
- 1:37Speaker 3: was looking at. And she didn't like the cold temperatures
- 1:39Speaker 3: coming back so much. But we persevere, We presevere.
- 1:42Speaker 4: Push, push right on through it. I woke up this
- 1:44Speaker 4: morning and I knew, oh gosh, it's gonna be a
- 1:47Speaker 4: rough morning because the first thing I heard was the snowplow.
- 1:50Speaker 3: Oh boy, ye all right, it's.
- 1:51Speaker 4: Like grinding against the road. It's like, oh, I better
- 1:54Speaker 4: look out the window.
- 1:55Speaker 3: We were up unfortunately late last night, and uh, at
- 1:59Speaker 3: one point my wife had to look outside for something.
- 2:01Speaker 3: There's annoyse or something outside. We opened up the door.
- 2:03Speaker 3: It went from like just rain and there wasn't anything
- 2:05Speaker 3: sticking till suddenly it was like, way, there's like snow

- 3:33Speaker 3: none three five five zero zero eight. Far as the
- 3:36Speaker 3: market goes, you know, there's some volatility that's that's built
- 3:38Speaker 3: into things right now, a little flipping back and forth
- 3:41Speaker 3: on some things that looks like, but there's.
- 3:44Speaker 4: Definitely some volatility. The market was up last week, pretty
- 3:48Speaker 4: pretty solid, but we had the inflation numbers out that
- 3:52Speaker 4: were a little hotter than expected. If if you've bought eggs,
- 3:56Speaker 4: you know this.
- 3:56Speaker 3: It didn't magically go away, what happened?
- 3:58Speaker 4: No, no, it did. So you know, we're in the
- 4:02Speaker 4: uh low threes for inflation, and of course the Fed
- 4:05Speaker 4: wants to that to be more in the two percent range.
- 4:09Speaker 4: And so it's it's kind of stalled out the last
- 4:12Speaker 4: six or eight months at this three percent level, and
- 4:16Speaker 4: you know, the hope is that it that it would
- 4:18Speaker 4: continue down, but it's it's it's not seeming to do
- 4:21Speaker 4: that right now. It's just stuck. Uh. That doesn't mean
- 4:24Speaker 4: us going back up to you know, like we had before,
- 4:26Speaker 4: but it's it's it's very sticky. So the Fed it
- 4:31Speaker 4: hasn't cut rates as planned this year, and now it
- 4:35Speaker 4: looks like the market and the expectations is that we
- 4:40Speaker 4: may only get one rate cut this year and maybe
- 4:42Speaker 4: none until until next year. So that's a you know,
- 4:46Speaker 4: that's a pretty big adjustment in expectations that the markets
- 4:49Speaker 4: had just in the last you know, month or two.
- 4:52Speaker 3: So that requires a little bit of a resettlement because
- 4:55Speaker 3: we had we had those baked in for a long time, right,
- 4:57Speaker 3: we expected the the rate cuts and they start looking
- 5:00Speaker 3: less likely. The market is like a you know, it's
- 5:03Speaker 3: like a huge levia thing. It doesn't all happen at once,
- 5:05Speaker 3: but there has to be like a little bit of
- 5:06Speaker 3: a reshuffling. Broadly speaking, if if the rates are not
- 5:10Speaker 3: expected to go.
- 5:11Speaker 4: Down, yeah, I mean that plays into a into a
- 5:14Speaker 4: whole lot of things. I mean things as simple as
- 5:17Speaker 4: you know, if you're buying a house, mortgage rates things.
- 5:20Speaker 2: Like that tell me about it.
- 5:22Speaker 4: But also for you know, the market, certain stocks do
- 5:27Speaker 4: better when interest rates are lower. And uh, some of
- 5:32Speaker 4: the some of the value oriented stocks that are high
- 5:34Speaker 4: dividend payers, well you know that high yield represents competition
- 5:39Speaker 4: to that dividend yield. So you know, when when rates
- 5:44Speaker 4: are falling or are lower than those look relatively attractive.
- 5:49Speaker 4: And so you know, those type of stocks we were
- 5:55Speaker 4: up because of the expectation, and they've been relatively flat lately.
- 6:00Speaker 4: That being said, you know, if you look at the earnings,
- 6:02Speaker 4: earnings are generally pretty good across really all segments of
- 6:06Speaker 4: the of the economy and all these earnings reports that
- 6:10Speaker 4: are coming in you have technologies. It's actually the it
- 6:16Speaker 4: was the worst in a couple of years earnings. But
- 6:20Speaker 4: they still grew their earnings by about twenty plus percent,
- 6:24Speaker 4: so relatively speaking, the rate of growth was a little
- 6:29Speaker 4: bit slower. And and you see that in the marketplace,
- 6:33Speaker 4: those those magnificent seven stocks.
- 6:36Speaker 3: It's harder to multiply billions once you get up there,
- 6:38Speaker 3: I guess absolutely.
- 6:39Speaker 4: Yeah, eventually it's like, you know, how big can these
- 6:42Speaker 4: companies get. So you've had a little bit of a
- 6:47Speaker 4: leadership switch in that those stocks have have stalled out
- 6:51Speaker 4: to a degree, and you know, boring stocks like you know,
- 6:56Speaker 4: industrials and banking and even international is outperforming US this year,
- 7:00Speaker 4: which is a big surprise to a lot of folks.
- 7:03Speaker 4: So there again that that plays into the theme of
- 7:07Speaker 4: staying diverse five because you know, we could predict some
- 7:11Speaker 4: of these things even a month ago.
- 7:13Speaker 3: That it's interesting and you have such a different perspective
- 7:17Speaker 3: of this than than someone who's not a professional as
- 7:20Speaker 3: far as with investing and planning for retirement things like that.
- 7:23Speaker 3: One of the things that I'm privy to because it's
- 7:26Speaker 3: my service. I created the metro News text line that
- 7:28Speaker 3: we use for all of our uh for all of
- 7:30Speaker 3: our shows on Metro News. So that includes talk line
- 7:33Speaker 3: and sports Line and my show Hotline and everything. And
- 7:36Speaker 3: so sometimes I'll get through and I'll start perusing through
- 7:39Speaker 3: some of the texts that came in for other shows.
- 7:41Speaker 3: It's interesting, and that's a broad place where you can
- 7:43Speaker 3: get kind of the temperature of the people or whatever.
- 7:45Speaker 3: And there was a little bit over the last couple
- 7:48Speaker 3: of weeks of people. And here's what I can't I
- 7:50Speaker 3: can never determine the people that start complaining about their
- 7:55Speaker 3: stocks or their their retirement. Sometimes I don't know if
- 7:59Speaker 3: they're serious or if it's just because of the switchover
- 8:02Speaker 3: of the like the administration and stuff like. I know
- 8:04Speaker 3: that there's probably more volatility now than what there was.
- 8:08Speaker 3: But broadly speaking, just like you said, it's not like
- 8:10Speaker 3: you can't find the gains. It's not like there's anything struggling.
- 8:13Speaker 3: But suddenly people are like sending in like, well this
- 8:15Speaker 3: is great for my portfolio, or tell that to my
- 8:17Speaker 3: four one K or you know, whatever it might be.
- 8:19Speaker 3: It seems like we saw a lot of that last
- 8:21Speaker 3: you know, like whoever the administration switches over, But this time.
- 8:24Speaker 3: Is there any like, do you have to protect yourself
- 8:27Speaker 3: against like the sort of the the whirlwind attitude of
- 8:31Speaker 3: things that are going on, make sure that you're in broadly profitable,
- 8:35Speaker 3: long term serving types of investments like we're talking about,
- 8:40Speaker 3: or is it really just just more noise?
- 8:44Speaker 4: Well, I mean there are some unknowns out there that
- 8:47Speaker 4: are going to play themselves out, just like there is
- 8:49Speaker 4: at any any time rightly, you know, for the market, obviously,
- 8:55Speaker 4: the wild card is the tariff what's going on there?
- 9:00Speaker 4: You know, will these things actually come to fruition or
- 9:04Speaker 4: are these negotiating tactics. You know, we saw the the
- 9:09Speaker 4: news that there were going to be the reciprocal tariffs
- 9:15Speaker 4: across even even some of the allies that we have
- 9:19Speaker 4: that they tariff some of our goods and we're going
- 9:22Speaker 4: to equalize those tariffs by But but it's not into
- 9:27Speaker 4: April first. Well why do you wait till April first?
- 9:29Speaker 4: Is that a is that a window to negotiate? And
- 9:33Speaker 4: so what will actually happen there? And so far it
- 9:36Speaker 4: seems like the market is looking at a lot of
- 9:40Speaker 4: that as negotiating tactics versus this is really all going
- 9:46Speaker 4: to happen as advertised, so you know that that remains
- 9:50Speaker 4: to be seen. You know, a global trade war is
- 9:54Speaker 4: probably not something we want to be in. That's that's
- 9:57Speaker 4: not good for consumers or or even companies with supply
- 10:01Speaker 4: chains across the world. But the same token, there are
- 10:04Speaker 4: certainly instances where one could claim we've been taken advantage
- 10:08Speaker 4: of internationally in trade. So does something need to happen
- 10:13Speaker 4: there maybe, But but you know, hopefully it's a scalpel
- 10:19Speaker 4: and not a club as far as the market is concerned,
- 10:22Speaker 4: and right now the market is really pricing in that
- 10:28Speaker 4: you know, this will not be as widespread as advertised,
- 10:32Speaker 4: that it may be a negotiating tactic.
- 10:34Speaker 3: And it's sort of I mean, evidence would just as such,
- 10:38Speaker 3: you know, I mean, as far as being a negotiating tactic,
- 10:41Speaker 3: and and really it would make more sense than than
- 10:44Speaker 3: actually planning on slapping all these different tears long term
- 10:48Speaker 3: one to you know, trade partners and things along those lines,
- 10:51Speaker 3: as we saw pre COVID that actually can cause some
- 10:53Speaker 3: some downstream issues that you don't really think about when
- 10:56Speaker 3: people have to renegotiate supply lines and different things along
- 10:58Speaker 3: those lines to avoid or to make themselves cost positive.
- 11:02Speaker 3: You know, when trying to fill their own to fill
- 11:05Speaker 3: their own inventories. If you have questions about technic, give
- 11:07Speaker 3: us call this morning. Anything that you need to get
- 11:10Speaker 3: on track about, give us call three zero four three
- 11:12Speaker 3: four two eight one three one three four two eight
- 11:13Speaker 3: one three one. You can text three zero four nine
- 11:15Speaker 3: three five five zero zero eight to get a hold
- 11:17Speaker 3: of John more debt for Fourth Avenue Financial. As we
- 11:19Speaker 3: were talking about the the Dollars to Donuts event that's
- 11:22Speaker 3: coming up. What what weekend was out again?
- 11:24Speaker 4: That's coming up this weekend, this weekend twenty seconds.
- 11:26Speaker 3: It's going to be this coming weekend. It's going to
- 11:28Speaker 3: be a vintage of vines in downtown Charleston. You can
- 11:30Speaker 3: let John or South Charleston. Yeah, yeah, Charleston. So here
- 11:33Speaker 3: the mound, Yeah, right near the mound in South Charleston.
- 11:35Speaker 3: You're gonna let John know on Facebook that you're coming
- 11:37Speaker 3: so he can get kind of an idea of how
- 11:39Speaker 3: many donuts to supply. And if you haven't heard about
- 11:42Speaker 3: us talking about this before, this is kind of an
- 11:44Speaker 3: informal event that John has put together once. Now he's
- 11:46Speaker 3: hoping to do it every month or so, where folks
- 11:49Speaker 3: just get together and talk about dollars and donuts. Basically
- 11:51Speaker 3: what's going on.
- 11:52Speaker 4: What's you have on your mind if you want to
- 11:54Speaker 4: want to chat about or to just a just a
- 11:58Speaker 4: discussion that goes wherever you want it to go. Essentially.
- 12:01Speaker 3: You know what I've mentioned before about what I really
- 12:03Speaker 3: like about something like this is you never know and
- 12:06Speaker 3: from doing this program, I've learned this over the course
- 12:08Speaker 3: of the course of years. You never know what great
- 12:11Speaker 3: questions that somebody else has, you know, Like for me,
- 12:13Speaker 3: it's listeners calling in with great questions, and you really
- 12:15Speaker 3: learn a lot from what a listener asks. Same thing
- 12:17Speaker 3: will happen with you know, you get a group of
- 12:19Speaker 3: people that come in to talk about roughly the same thing.
- 12:22Speaker 3: Suddenly people ask really good questions, you know, insights that
- 12:25Speaker 3: from it from a boots on the ground perspective, as
- 12:27Speaker 3: somebody that's on the on the client side of things
- 12:30Speaker 3: that has some questions that maybe could help out other
- 12:32Speaker 3: clients or potential clients, or insights that allows you to
- 12:34Speaker 3: kind of tee up some questions to inform some folks.
- 12:36Speaker 3: I mean, that's always great to tap into, like sort
- 12:39Speaker 3: of the crowdsourcing when it comes to questions and information
- 12:42Speaker 3: and stuff to make sure things are answered, that they
- 12:45Speaker 3: are really in the marketplace to be answered.
- 12:47Speaker 4: Yeah, And chances are if you have the question, there
- 12:49Speaker 4: are other people that have the same correctly.
- 12:50Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 12:51Speaker 4: Right, So it's a great place to do that in
- 12:54Speaker 4: a way that you know, there's not a big commitment
- 12:56Speaker 4: with it. It's just just a place to come and
- 12:58Speaker 4: chat about it with not really any obligation at all.
- 13:02Speaker 3: Yeah. So that I think that's a great event, and
- 13:03Speaker 3: that's something you can you can check out. Of course,
- 13:05Speaker 3: you can do it by registering on Facebook, or you
- 13:08Speaker 3: can check out John online. It's first fourth Avetuve Financial
- 13:11Speaker 3: dot com, Fourth Avenue Financial dot Com. You can find
- 13:14Speaker 3: information over there as well. We talked about before. Before
- 13:17Speaker 3: we go to the break here, we want to talk
- 13:18Speaker 3: a little bit about the disbursement rates and or distribution
- 13:22Speaker 3: rates and things that folks need to look into as
- 13:25Speaker 3: far as making sure that they're they're fully efficient when
- 13:27Speaker 3: it comes to that.
- 13:28Speaker 4: Sure, you know, I think there's I hear a lot
- 13:31Speaker 4: of really misconceptions over how much you can draw out
- 13:37Speaker 4: once you reach retirement of your portfolio and make sure
- 13:41Speaker 4: that it lasts over the course of your life so
- 13:43Speaker 4: you don't run out of money at some point. And
- 13:46Speaker 4: you know, we don't have heard the numbers about long
- 13:49Speaker 4: term market returns of you know, diversified portfolio seven eight
- 13:55Speaker 4: nine percent in the stock market ten eleven twelve percent
- 13:58Speaker 4: over time, but your distribution rates are really much much
- 14:02Speaker 4: less than that. And so sometimes there's this idea that, well,
- 14:07Speaker 4: if the market grows by eight percent a year, I
- 14:09Speaker 4: should be able to pull out eight percent a year
- 14:12Speaker 4: to live off of that. And and the math doesn't
- 14:15Speaker 4: quite work that way, and we can we can explore
- 14:17Speaker 4: that a little bit after the break or or right now,
- 14:21Speaker 4: whatever whatever we need to do for the program.
- 14:23Speaker 3: Let's go to take a break, and then if folks
- 14:25Speaker 3: have questions or anything like that, you can I get
- 14:27Speaker 3: those questions in or give us a call. You can
- 14:28Speaker 3: call three zero four three four two eight one three
- 14:30Speaker 3: one three zero four three four two eight one through one,
- 14:32Speaker 3: or you can text three zero four non three five
- 14:34Speaker 3: five zero zero eight. Jomberdet is here from Fourth Avenue Financial.

- 17:49Speaker 4: Yeah. I was actually though I was getting into the
- 17:51Speaker 4: bumper music. Yeah, yeah, right, I was ready for that
- 17:55Speaker 4: on the cod But anyway, Yeah, So, distribution rates are
- 18:01Speaker 4: a big misconception. I think that a lot of folks
- 18:03Speaker 4: have and that if the market grows by eight percent,
- 18:07Speaker 4: why can't you pull eight percent out? And the reason
- 18:11Speaker 4: for that is in retirement, the math changes. You know,
- 18:16Speaker 4: when you're younger and saving the volatility of the market
- 18:21Speaker 4: really doesn't matter. If you're far away from retirement. You're
- 18:25Speaker 4: just accumulating and when the market's down, you buy more
- 18:28Speaker 4: shares of whatever the investment is.
- 18:30Speaker 3: You're a point on the plot, and the noise until
- 18:33Speaker 3: you get to that point doesn't really matter that much.
- 18:34Speaker 4: It really doesn't matter a lot. I mean, you don't
- 18:36Speaker 4: like the statements when they come, but if it's down,
- 18:39Speaker 4: but it really you are a long term investor, and
- 18:42Speaker 4: when you see those long term rates of return, oh,
- 18:45Speaker 4: this fund grew by you know, ten percent over the
- 18:48Speaker 4: last twenty years, Well you're going to get that rate
- 18:52Speaker 4: of return because you're you know, a holder over that
- 18:55Speaker 4: period of time. But in retirement that's not the case.
- 18:59Speaker 4: You're no longer a long term holder, you're drawing money
- 19:02Speaker 4: out every month, and the volatility works against you. You know,
- 19:06Speaker 4: if the market is down twenty percent in a given year,
- 19:10Speaker 4: which is possible to have happen every handful of years.
- 19:14Speaker 4: We've had many of twenty percent pullbacks over the last
- 19:19Speaker 4: you know, thirty years, which might be a course of
- 19:22Speaker 4: a retirement. How are you going to, you know, take
- 19:26Speaker 4: out a seven or eight percent distribution rate on top
- 19:29Speaker 4: of a market being down twenty percent? You know, then
- 19:33Speaker 4: how much money do you need to earn the following
- 19:35Speaker 4: year to recoup that very difficult if you're taking too
- 19:39Speaker 4: much out every year. So the math is totally different.
- 19:42Speaker 4: And so if you look at the studies of distribution rates,
- 19:47Speaker 4: then you've heard the rule of thumb about four percent.
- 19:49Speaker 4: Probably that's more along the lines if you have a
- 19:53Speaker 4: balanced portfolio, a prudent distribution rate somewhere in that range.
- 19:59Speaker 4: And that's not a hard rule, but that's that's a
- 20:02Speaker 4: rule of thumb that you can use and say, well,
- 20:07Speaker 4: if the market grows by seven or eight percent in
- 20:11Speaker 4: a moderate portfolio historically, like it has, and then you
- 20:15Speaker 4: take a four percent distributionary, what are the odds that
- 20:18Speaker 4: that lasts through a say a thirty year retirement, and
- 20:23Speaker 4: around four percent, you get close to historically being able
- 20:29Speaker 4: to achieve that without running out of money, you know,
- 20:34Speaker 4: and then it's then some folks are like, well, why
- 20:37Speaker 4: would I Why would I do that? Why would I
- 20:39Speaker 4: just buy a CD or a bond it pays more
- 20:43Speaker 4: than four percent? Maybe I could get five percent on
- 20:46Speaker 4: a bond. Why would I just buy that and take
- 20:49Speaker 4: the interest off of it. Well, the problem if you
- 20:53Speaker 4: do something like that. It sounds on the face of
- 20:55Speaker 4: it like, yeah, that would work. But when you do that,
- 21:00Speaker 4: the bond will eventually mature, and then you have the
- 21:04Speaker 4: risk of what interest rates are going to be in
- 21:07Speaker 4: the future. You know. Imagine if you would have bought
- 21:09Speaker 4: a bond paying six or seven percent, you know, twenty
- 21:14Speaker 4: years ago, and then it matured when interest rates were
- 21:18Speaker 4: a couple of years ago, when interest rates were zero,
- 21:21Speaker 4: your income would have been devastated. You would have had
- 21:25Speaker 4: a you know, your your principle would have been there,
- 21:27Speaker 4: but it wouldn't have earned any money if you if
- 21:30Speaker 4: you followed that strategy. Also, what point what those things
- 21:35Speaker 4: do as the four percent distribution and the diverse flood portfolio.
- 21:39Speaker 4: If over time, it grows by seven. What does that mean?
- 21:43Speaker 4: That means the pot of money is maybe slowly growing
- 21:46Speaker 4: hopefully it's you know, continues to grow slowly. What does
- 21:50Speaker 4: that do for your income? It allows you to increase
- 21:53Speaker 4: your income because the four percent is of a growing
- 21:57Speaker 4: pot of money. That helps you up with inflation, you know.
- 22:02Speaker 4: So there are all kinds of reasons that that distribution
- 22:05Speaker 4: rate needs to be much less than the overall growth
- 22:07Speaker 4: rate of the portfolio, so it satisfies all the needs
- 22:11Speaker 4: that you have in retirement, not just in lifetime income,
- 22:14Speaker 4: but also keeping up with inflation.
- 22:17Speaker 3: And that's a really good explainer on exactly why that
- 22:21Speaker 3: that's the way that it is. And I mean people
- 22:23Speaker 3: sometimes might not quite understand it, or get impatient about
- 22:25Speaker 3: something like that, or not really understand how the mechanics
- 22:27Speaker 3: of the finances work. But it makes perfect sense and
- 22:30Speaker 3: really is to protect you as well, the investors protect
- 22:33Speaker 3: you as well, to make sure you don't make any
- 22:35Speaker 3: heavy handed mistakes.
- 22:36Speaker 4: Right. And so when you look at a retirement portfolio
- 22:40Speaker 4: and let's say let's say you're fortunate, you retire with
- 22:43Speaker 4: a million dollars, that's forty thousand dollars a year in
- 22:47Speaker 4: income that you can draw from that, and a lot
- 22:49Speaker 4: of times folks look like, well, forty thousand, that doesn't
- 22:51Speaker 4: seem like, you know, it seems like it should be
- 22:54Speaker 4: more than that. Well, you can be more than that,
- 22:57Speaker 4: but every dollar above that you take, you're exposed to
- 23:00Speaker 4: yourself to greater and greater risk.
- 23:02Speaker 3: That's a great point. One of the things that this
- 23:05Speaker 3: kind of triggered a memory. It's not exactly the same thing,
- 23:07Speaker 3: but you know, during during the COVID time, when the
- 23:11Speaker 3: when the government in different banking institutions and stuff, made
- 23:14Speaker 3: it easier for people to access some of their money.
- 23:17Speaker 3: They reduced or remove some of the penalties for for
- 23:20Speaker 3: withdrawing money and things like that, and some people probably
- 23:23Speaker 3: at the time had to take some money to keep
- 23:25Speaker 3: to keep a float and different things like that. That happens,
- 23:28Speaker 3: and you want to avoid that at all costs, but
- 23:30Speaker 3: you know, a pandemic happens every once in a while.
- 23:33Speaker 3: One of the things that that I heard a couple
- 23:35Speaker 3: of people that's done and I don't want to exactly
- 23:37Speaker 3: understand how this works, and maybe this is something you
- 23:39Speaker 3: can help with. Somebody who takes a a loan against
- 23:43Speaker 3: a position that they have in an investment, and without
- 23:48Speaker 3: touching the principle of that investment, and then at some
- 23:50Speaker 3: point in time later that investment, the stock drops to
- 23:54Speaker 3: such a degree that they came close to having a
- 23:56Speaker 3: margin call on the on the amount that they had invested.
- 23:59Speaker 3: I was and exactly sure what that meant, but they
- 24:01Speaker 3: were really panicking over if they would if they would
- 24:04Speaker 3: have had to meet the margin call on that What
- 24:05Speaker 3: what is that sort of Number One, it's kind of
- 24:07Speaker 3: dangerous to borrow against your your investments anyway, because something
- 24:11Speaker 3: like this could happen.
- 24:12Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, anytime you take on debt or leverage,
- 24:16Speaker 4: your upside has multiplied, but your downside is multiplied, so
- 24:20Speaker 4: so it makes the moves more extreme. And essentially a
- 24:26Speaker 4: margin without going too deep into the weeds, you can
- 24:30Speaker 4: borrow against your portfolio. Certain things have different margin levels,
- 24:35Speaker 4: you know, stocks and bonds have a little bit different
- 24:39Speaker 4: margin requirements of that sort of thing. But essentially you
- 24:43Speaker 4: can borrow money against your portfolio and if the stock value,
- 24:49Speaker 4: though falls, the brokerage firm or the lending institution comes
- 24:55Speaker 4: back to you and says, hey, we've got to liquidate
- 24:58Speaker 4: all your portfolio to pay the loan off or you
- 25:00Speaker 4: need to cough up this money if you want to
- 25:03Speaker 4: keep your portfolio, because the collateral value has fallen essentially
- 25:09Speaker 4: when the stock falls and the loan's not secured anymore.
- 25:14Speaker 3: So it's the same pressures as a bank run really
- 25:16Speaker 3: in a lot of ways, just for an individual.
- 25:18Speaker 4: Yeah, and you've got to come up with that money,
- 25:20Speaker 4: or you've got to liquidate the portfolio. And you know,
- 25:25Speaker 4: like you say, the more leverage you have, the more
- 25:27Speaker 4: exposure you have, and smaller incremental moves can can have
- 25:34Speaker 4: drastic effects on the portfolio.
- 25:37Speaker 3: If somebody had had equity in their home and they
- 25:40Speaker 3: bought or they borrowed against a portfolio instead, I don't
- 25:44Speaker 3: know the finances behind it, but I'm thinking to myself,
- 25:46Speaker 3: the home seems like a safer thing to pull money
- 25:48Speaker 3: out of than your investments. But I don't know individual circumstances.
- 25:52Speaker 3: That just seems a little scared, And it seems like
- 25:54Speaker 3: it would be a little little scary if you're worried
- 25:56Speaker 3: about a margin call of some sort along those lines.
- 25:58Speaker 4: Yeah, and you know, and a lot of folks to
- 26:00Speaker 4: get in trouble say well, I can borrow money against
- 26:03Speaker 4: my portfolio and buy more stocks. Well you can, and
- 26:07Speaker 4: over time it's like, well, the math should work.
- 26:10Speaker 3: Well.
- 26:10Speaker 4: The problem is the year that it doesn't. You know,
- 26:13Speaker 4: the more leverage you have, that bad year can wipe
- 26:17Speaker 4: you out.
- 26:19Speaker 3: This kind of started, well, this is what we call
- 26:22Speaker 3: gigwork now, as far as people that drive ubers or
- 26:25Speaker 3: delivery services or different things along those lines. Back when
- 26:29Speaker 3: I was younger, people did stuff like this all the time.
- 26:31Speaker 3: We didn't call it gig work. But people would take
- 26:33Speaker 3: on either like part time jobs or they'd be doing
- 26:35Speaker 3: something on the side. And sometimes they did that purely
- 26:37Speaker 3: to bolster what they were putting into their retirement. Like
- 26:40Speaker 3: they had their normal job that took care of the
- 26:41Speaker 3: the p's and q's throughout the course of the week.
- 26:45Speaker 3: They put a little bit of money back, but they
- 26:46Speaker 3: knew that to get to X amount for what they
- 26:49Speaker 3: where they were right now, there was only so much
- 26:51Speaker 3: they could cut. There was a stir as they could
- 26:53Speaker 3: possibly be with their expenses. So sometimes you have to
- 26:56Speaker 3: get a second job if you really want to make
- 26:57Speaker 3: that work. And it sounds to.
- 26:59Speaker 4: That or bring elon Muskin right right, yeah, exactly, there's
- 27:03Speaker 4: got to be more expenses down there.
- 27:04Speaker 3: Somewhere you can cut those off. But but that is uh.
- 27:08Speaker 3: And and people, I think people look at gigwork completely
- 27:11Speaker 3: differently now to some degree than they did when I
- 27:13Speaker 3: was younger, because it was considered like part of the household.
- 27:17Speaker 3: Like sometimes you know, you had a mom and a
- 27:18Speaker 3: dad and one of them had a second drop on
- 27:20Speaker 3: the side to help put into retirement, to help make
- 27:21Speaker 3: the bills. You know, you would say help make the
- 27:23Speaker 3: help pay the bills. But a lot of times what
- 27:25Speaker 3: that means is you help pay the bills so you
- 27:27Speaker 3: have money to put it into savings somewhere, you know.
- 27:29Speaker 3: So sometimes we talk about the debt snowball and things
- 27:31Speaker 3: like that, and that definitely works. But sometimes the X
- 27:34Speaker 3: factor is simply you just need more cash. You need
- 27:36Speaker 3: more money, Yeah, no doubt about it.
- 27:38Speaker 4: I mean when you look at the those steps we've
- 27:40Speaker 4: talked about before about building wealth, I mean the first
- 27:44Speaker 4: thing is the income. You know, you you can affect
- 27:48Speaker 4: your income by acquiring skills, services, or like say doing
- 27:53Speaker 4: is a secondary job. You know, serving in the marketplace
- 27:58Speaker 4: at a higher level was your skill. You know, you
- 28:00Speaker 4: may earn more money. That is that is square one,
- 28:04Speaker 4: because without the income, nothing else is going to you know,
- 28:08Speaker 4: fall into place. So that's the easiest way sometimes to
- 28:13Speaker 4: to to change the scenario that you're in. And then,
- 28:17Speaker 4: no matter what you're earning, you know, target that twenty
- 28:21Speaker 4: percent savings rate. And if you can start that when
- 28:24Speaker 4: you're young, before you tie into all these expenses that
- 28:29Speaker 4: come with life, it's a whole lot easier. You know,
- 28:32Speaker 4: you're out of college, you get your first job, you
- 28:35Speaker 4: just pretend you make twenty percent less right from the right,
- 28:38Speaker 4: from the getting point, and it's very easy to adjust
- 28:42Speaker 4: yourself and your lifestyle and your living standards to that.
- 28:46Speaker 4: And and then as you get raises, you know it,
- 28:51Speaker 4: you've already done the hard work right from the start.
- 28:55Speaker 4: It's much more difficult to get to the rates of
- 28:57Speaker 4: savings the longer you wait and into life, because you've
- 29:01Speaker 4: you've committed yourself to so many things, you know, car payments,
- 29:06Speaker 4: house payments, and you know all these things that go
- 29:08Speaker 4: along with that. You know, things that were are considered
- 29:13Speaker 4: when you're when you're twenty years old, you consider certain
- 29:17Speaker 4: things a luxury that when you're thirty years old you
- 29:20Speaker 4: just expect, you know, going out to dinners and doing
- 29:24Speaker 4: things like that. You know, those are expensive things. And
- 29:28Speaker 4: if you've built those habits and you're not saving the
- 29:31Speaker 4: right amount, at some point, well, now what do you do?
- 29:35Speaker 4: You have to sacrifice some of those things that you desire,
- 29:39Speaker 4: and it feels it feels bad because you had and
- 29:43Speaker 4: now you feel like you're going backwards in lifestyle where
- 29:47Speaker 4: if you start young, you haven't built those expectations yet.
- 29:51Speaker 3: What you do is so hugely important in educating folks
- 29:55Speaker 3: on the proper way to do things and and to
- 29:58Speaker 3: put a system in place. Of course, you're expertise is
- 30:00Speaker 3: is finally honed to help folks do this. But I
- 30:03Speaker 3: also think a lot of what you instruct and teach
- 30:06Speaker 3: and show people how to do now, at one point
- 30:08Speaker 3: in time, was a little bit more common knowledge. You know,
- 30:11Speaker 3: I think that we've lost a little bit of resolution.
- 30:14Speaker 3: You talk about, you know, acting like you get paid
- 30:17Speaker 3: twenty percent less than what you actually do to In fact,
- 30:19Speaker 3: I always think, you know, I always look back at
- 30:20Speaker 3: some way like my mom and I talk about her
- 30:21Speaker 3: own lot on that relatively modest income for most of
- 30:24Speaker 3: your career. But for example, she worked at a job
- 30:27Speaker 3: where she got holiday bonuses every single year. She already
- 30:30Speaker 3: worked into her budgeting to do holiday shopping, so that
- 30:34Speaker 3: was part of her regular budget. So at the end
- 30:35Speaker 3: of the year, she didn't need the bonus. She had
- 30:37Speaker 3: her budgeting in place because she had it budgeted for
- 30:40Speaker 3: holiday shopping and everything. What happened to that bonus that
- 30:42Speaker 3: just went right into her investment, right into her retirement.
- 30:46Speaker 3: And that discipline that allows you to do something like
- 30:49Speaker 3: that because you were already planning, you already budgeted out
- 30:51Speaker 3: what you had to do, allowed for when an opportunity
- 30:53Speaker 3: like that came up, you're not struggling to say, hey,
- 30:56Speaker 3: I really needed that. That's something that I can use
- 30:58Speaker 3: right now today. You're like, hey, this is a fall
- 31:00Speaker 3: I'm going to put it straight into investments. It's not
- 31:02Speaker 3: like she was wealthy, she was just well budgeted. And
- 31:04Speaker 3: it really makes all the difference in the world to
- 31:06Speaker 3: make sure that you're working the process and maximizing whatever
- 31:10Speaker 3: money you do make.
- 31:11Speaker 4: Yeah, to to to a large degree, it's it's not
- 31:15Speaker 4: what you make, it's what you do with what you make.
- 31:17Speaker 4: It's those commitments that you make and and that make
- 31:20Speaker 4: the difference. You know, most folks that are that are
- 31:24Speaker 4: gainfully employed have the ability, should have the ability to
- 31:30Speaker 4: make savings a regular habit, savings an investment of regular habit.
- 31:35Speaker 4: And if not, there's a good chance that if you
- 31:39Speaker 4: look at the budget, you know, it'll be easy to
- 31:42Speaker 4: see why you can't, you know, things like I say,
- 31:46Speaker 4: things seem like necessities when when actually they're they're they're wants,
- 31:53Speaker 4: not needs. And the longer you've been in that habit,
- 31:57Speaker 4: the harder it is to break that psychologically. And uh,
- 32:03Speaker 4: you know, sometimes recognizing that just can help you break that,
- 32:08Speaker 4: you know, rather than you know, stepping back and and
- 32:11Speaker 4: and I think that's a lot of times what an
- 32:13Speaker 4: advisor can can help with because it's a it's a
- 32:16Speaker 4: outside party, disinterested party, uh ill, disinterested is not not
- 32:22Speaker 4: maybe the right word, but it's a it's another pair
- 32:25Speaker 4: of eyes that's not quite as emotionally attached to some
- 32:28Speaker 4: of the decisions that you're making. And and I think
- 32:32Speaker 4: largely that's what I do, Uh, when I work with folks,
- 32:37Speaker 4: it's it's, you know, not just with their budget, but
- 32:40Speaker 4: with their investing and the habits that they have, you know,
- 32:45Speaker 4: adding a little bit of accountability, adding a little bit
- 32:48Speaker 4: of advice that is that is not so emotionally wrapped
- 32:54Speaker 4: up in into to a person's individual you know, feelings
- 32:59Speaker 4: about money and their lifestyle, that sort of thing.
- 33:02Speaker 3: Yeah, that's great advice as always from Dahmer dat at
