- 0:18Speaker 1: is one of the things you can do to start
- 0:20Speaker 1: to diversify your portfolio and get it in an IRA.
- 0:23Speaker 1: This is one of the best tax loopholes out there
- 0:26Speaker 1: when you think about that in terms of investing and
- 0:29Speaker 1: being able to manage it yourself.
- 0:31Speaker 2: You guys can jump over to I Trust Capital.

- 0:48Speaker 1: get started, and you guys can begin. Let's go over
- 0:51Speaker 1: to a couple points I want to hit on today,
- 0:53Speaker 1: and of course there are some big key events this week.
- 0:55Speaker 1: The Atlanta Fed GDP data is today. We're talking about
- 0:59Speaker 1: MAC inflation data coming in on Wednesday. I think that's
- 1:02Speaker 1: the one to watch, as the CPI and also the
- 1:05Speaker 1: ten year note auction, this will all start also put
- 1:07Speaker 1: some pressure on treasuries. That'll show up on Wednesday, Thursday,
- 1:12Speaker 1: we've got PPI inflation data, and then of course we'll
- 1:16Speaker 1: have the Michigan inflation expectations by Friday, so a little
- 1:20Speaker 1: bit coming around, and you know, obviously consumer sentiment will
- 1:23Speaker 1: play into this as well, and I think a little
- 1:24Speaker 1: bit of this from a macro standpoint will continue to
- 1:28Speaker 1: give us some insights on how the markets are going
- 1:30Speaker 1: to start to play out.
- 1:31Speaker 3: Now.
- 1:31Speaker 1: One thing to consider right now is what we're seeing
- 1:34Speaker 1: around the US and the Chinese negotiations. Markets are surging
- 1:38Speaker 1: a little bit as the talks are coming together. And
- 1:42Speaker 1: remember that this is not necessarily Trump that is in there.
- 1:45Speaker 1: The negotiations are being led on the American side by Bessett,
- 1:50Speaker 1: Secretary and Treasury Department, and of course the Chinese side
- 1:53Speaker 1: by hey Liifeng, who is the Vice Premier of the
- 1:56Speaker 1: Chinese government. So these are guys that can actually make
- 1:59Speaker 1: things happen. And it's not necessarily that we're going to
- 2:02Speaker 1: see a trade deal, but the possibility of de escalation
- 2:06Speaker 1: is real and I think that will play in very
- 2:09Speaker 1: positively for the market. Remember we saw bitcoin going almost
- 2:13Speaker 1: all down to one hundred k and then bouncing back
- 2:16Speaker 1: to one oh seven in a very short period of time.
- 2:19Speaker 1: By the way, if you guys bought that dip, let
- 2:20Speaker 1: me know in the comments to stop some down below. Now,
- 2:23Speaker 1: I want to get into a clip here, because this
- 2:25Speaker 1: clip is going to get into what are the expectations.
- 2:27Speaker 2: Take a look.
- 2:29Speaker 4: The reconvening of what they're calling the Geneva mechanism or
- 2:32Speaker 4: the China US Trading Economic Consultation mechanism is a constructive step.
- 2:39Speaker 4: I think it will not solve Becky any of the
- 2:42Speaker 4: long term challenges. It won't change the strategic goals of
- 2:46Speaker 4: both of these countries to reduce interdependence on one another. But
- 2:51Speaker 4: what it will do Becky is allow, we hope, well
- 2:54Speaker 4: the less likelihood of a rapid rupture in the relationship.
- 2:58Speaker 4: It will allow for we hope, deliberative and responsible management
- 3:04Speaker 4: of the bilateral relationship, and that buys businesses sometime to
- 3:09Speaker 4: really anticipate and try to mitigate some of the risk
- 3:12Speaker 4: associated with the ongoing de risking and decoupling that I
- 3:16Speaker 4: think will continue despite this new round of dialogue and engagement.
- 3:21Speaker 5: I mean, we just heard from Kevin Hassett at the
- 3:23Speaker 5: White House that it sounds like the two key sticking points,
- 3:27Speaker 5: rare earth minerals will be released from China and that
- 3:31Speaker 5: the US will release some of the export controls on semiconductors.
- 3:35Speaker 5: To this point, is that how you see it playing out?
- 3:38Speaker 4: I think if we get to that point, Becky, we
- 3:40Speaker 4: should all be cheering. That's a great outcome. This is
- 3:44Speaker 4: a small window. This is not a return to the
- 3:47Speaker 4: early two thousands high level engagement. This is a cat
- 3:52Speaker 4: and mouse game that's happening between these two countries. And
- 3:55Speaker 4: if businesses don't look at it that way, they will
- 3:57Speaker 4: find themselves short again if something all of a sudden
- 4:01Speaker 4: becomes hot between these two.
- 4:02Speaker 1: Countries, which is most likely going to happen. But I
- 4:05Speaker 1: did like his take, and that is the idea of
- 4:07Speaker 1: businesses trying to line up and creating some strategy around this.
- 4:11Speaker 2: What this simply means.
- 4:13Speaker 1: Is that is this a little bit of a stall
- 4:16Speaker 1: technique technique to be able to get businesses back to onshoring.
- 4:21Speaker 1: If you follow Kobees, they were talking about a lot
- 4:23Speaker 1: of companies who are increasingly talking about moving foreign operations back.
- 4:27Speaker 2: To the US.
- 4:28Speaker 1: This surprised me here is that the number of monthly
- 4:31Speaker 1: conversations that happened during their S and P five hundred
- 4:35Speaker 1: earnings calls hit a record sixty in May, so that
- 4:39Speaker 1: is big. And then among the S and P five hundred,
- 4:42Speaker 1: twenty two mentions of reshoring were in the health sector,
- 4:47Speaker 1: followed again by eleven industrials and utilities. Now, house sector
- 4:50Speaker 1: is one of the biggest ones that everybody is concerned
- 4:53Speaker 1: when you think about the pharmaceuticals that are manufactured outside
- 4:56Speaker 1: of the United States, one of the big areas. Obviously
- 4:59Speaker 1: the idea between the two negotiation levers that are being
- 5:02Speaker 1: pushed right now between rare Earth and obviously what's going
- 5:05Speaker 1: on with chips, which plays into AI. This gets into
- 5:09Speaker 1: a very competitive range because I think China understands one thing,
- 5:14Speaker 1: they need chips, and I think the United States is
- 5:17Speaker 1: looking for those materials to continue the advancement of a
- 5:20Speaker 1: lot of the manufacturing and the technology sector. So it
- 5:23Speaker 1: is kind of both of us needing each other right now.
- 5:26Speaker 1: And I think to his point is that this is
- 5:28Speaker 1: a good point that could lever up to a potential
- 5:33Speaker 1: at least where businesses can start to create strategies around this. Now,
- 5:37Speaker 1: Trump is coming in now and saying that the Federal
- 5:39Speaker 1: Reserve is a disaster and is calling for one hundred
- 5:42Speaker 1: basis points of interest rate cut. Let me tell you,
- 5:44Speaker 1: if that were to happen, the market would absolutely boom.
- 5:48Speaker 1: Now what would we do in terms of paying the
- 5:50Speaker 1: price down the road? I think all that still yet
- 5:52Speaker 1: to be determined. A lot is still happening globally as
- 5:56Speaker 1: you continue to see the ECB and other global participants
- 6:01Speaker 1: starting to reposition their interest rates and of course trying
- 6:04Speaker 1: to re calculate how their economies can recover. The United
- 6:08Speaker 1: States not necessarily in that position right now. Trump says
- 6:11Speaker 1: he's going to announce a new FED chair next week.
- 6:13Speaker 1: I don't know how this is going to be done
- 6:16Speaker 1: and if it can even be done. But of course,
- 6:18Speaker 1: as you know, Trump is very good at being very
- 6:21Speaker 1: boisterous and just throwing stuff out there, assuming he's manifesting it.
- 6:26Speaker 1: Whether or not this actually happens, I think is the question.
- 6:29Speaker 1: But the fact that he's making these kind of statements
- 6:31Speaker 1: is one to be at least aware of in your
- 6:34Speaker 1: strategies of getting into the market. Another thing to consider
- 6:37Speaker 1: is who would be the play if it was someone,
- 6:40Speaker 1: this is going to be a guy by the name
- 6:42Speaker 1: of Kevin Walsh. Now this is a pro crypto guy.
- 6:45Speaker 1: He's also been in and around the FED for quite
- 6:47Speaker 1: some time, so there is a potential. And there are
- 6:50Speaker 1: some ties into Vescent as well, so there are some
- 6:54Speaker 1: potentials here. If this even could happen, or if let's
- 6:57Speaker 1: say that chair Palell had enough pressure sure to step
- 7:01Speaker 1: aside not being fired, of course, it's kind of like,
- 7:03Speaker 1: let's just show you the door kind of scenario. But
- 7:06Speaker 1: before all of that happens, is this Kevin Warsh guy
- 7:10Speaker 1: the guy for the job?
- 7:11Speaker 2: Take a look at this.
- 7:14Speaker 6: Yeah, I think it makes sense. I think he'd be
- 7:16Speaker 6: a great candidate to I think the president's notion about
- 7:22Speaker 6: where interest rates should be doesn't necessarily dovetail.
- 7:25Speaker 7: With where I believe they should be.
- 7:27Speaker 6: But I don't have a problem with him having an opinion.
- 7:31Speaker 6: He certainly doesn't seem to be calling out the National
- 7:34Speaker 6: Guard to and enforce his opinion on FED fun futures
- 7:37Speaker 6: or on where the rate is. And I think course
- 7:40Speaker 6: is obviously a high level, very intelligent, great pick. I'm
- 7:44Speaker 6: sure Steve would not disagree with.
- 7:46Speaker 3: That I think Kevin would be a good pick. I
- 7:49Speaker 3: think the thing is is not is he hawks or
- 7:51Speaker 3: as he dubs. The way I like to think about
- 7:54Speaker 3: this is the extent to which the next FED chair
- 7:58Speaker 3: would embrace. Essentially, what Kevin has to to say, and
- 8:02Speaker 3: what Kevin is saying is that if you look at
- 8:03Speaker 3: the CEA forecast, we're going to have high growth and
- 8:07Speaker 3: we're going to have low inflation, and that's a forecast
- 8:09Speaker 3: that you can set monetary policy on. Unfortunately, this particular
- 8:13Speaker 3: FED I don't think is ready to embrace that. I
- 8:16Speaker 3: think they're open to the possibility of it, Joe, I
- 8:18Speaker 3: just don't think they're ready to take a flyer on
- 8:21Speaker 3: it right now.
- 8:22Speaker 1: All right, So you can kind of see there are
- 8:24Speaker 1: two different strategies being floated out here. The strategy that
- 8:28Speaker 1: Powell and the current commissioners are on right now, which
- 8:30Speaker 1: is much more cautious around FED ray cuts. And then
- 8:34Speaker 1: you look at the potential of forecasting the potential of
- 8:38Speaker 1: high growth and low inflation, which is a remedy I
- 8:42Speaker 1: think from where the FED has been positioning for quite
- 8:45Speaker 1: some time, which is higher for longer. And I think
- 8:47Speaker 1: if all of this plays into it, this could be
- 8:50Speaker 1: a reality if in fact that Chair Pale steps aside,
- 8:53Speaker 1: all of that would still be lined up on Chair pal.
- 8:56Speaker 1: On another note here, you have to look at the
- 8:58Speaker 1: tax bill that's being pushed through Congress right now. Center
- 9:02Speaker 1: Republicans are planning to release a major revision on this
- 9:05Speaker 1: tax bill very soon. And one of the things I
- 9:07Speaker 1: want to highlight, and I'll zoom in on the Senate
- 9:09Speaker 1: Finance Committee planning to extract savings from Medicaid and perhaps
- 9:13Speaker 1: the Medicare health insurance programs, which could depart in the
- 9:17Speaker 1: respects for the version of the giant bill that's currently
- 9:20Speaker 1: in play. What this simply means is there are going
- 9:22Speaker 1: to be some and we've talked about this over the
- 9:24Speaker 1: last couple of weeks, that there would be some potential
- 9:28Speaker 1: revisions of how this bill is structured. And I think
- 9:30Speaker 1: a lot of this is now a push pull between
- 9:34Speaker 1: House Democrats and Republican Democrats, along with the Senate as
- 9:38Speaker 1: it plays out into passing a tax bill that could
- 9:42Speaker 1: become all of this going forward. And if you think
- 9:45Speaker 1: about where Elon kind of stepped aside from this because
- 9:48Speaker 1: he was losing a lot of potential there and he
- 9:51Speaker 1: has now kind of gone a little bit quieter, So
- 9:53Speaker 1: I imagine there has been some phone calls and maybe
- 9:56Speaker 1: that portion of it is over. The real question is
- 9:59Speaker 1: one tax bill goes into effect, which is really what
- 10:02Speaker 1: Trump is all about. Maybe this is the position that
- 10:06Speaker 1: we have been looking for all along. The real question
- 10:09Speaker 1: is is this in jeopardy at all?
- 10:12Speaker 2: Take a look at this clip.
- 10:14Speaker 8: I do think there is risk for Donald Trump in
- 10:16Speaker 8: this feud, especially visa via reconciliation bill. And I don't
- 10:20Speaker 8: want to overstate it, but if Elon Musk goes on
- 10:23Speaker 8: X and says I want everyone to call their member
- 10:25Speaker 8: of Congress and you know, and complain about this bill
- 10:29Speaker 8: and tell them not to vote for it, there is
- 10:31Speaker 8: risk with that, right. I mean, members of Congress are
- 10:34Speaker 8: at least to some degree, to varying degrees, susceptible to
- 10:38Speaker 8: criticism from their constituents, especially when their phone lines are
- 10:41Speaker 8: being lit up. But you're absolutely right. The Musk was
- 10:45Speaker 8: making a substantive argument which had some constituency on Capitol Hill,
- 10:51Speaker 8: and it turned into a little bit of cartoonish circus.
- 10:54Speaker 8: So yes, I agree with that completely.
- 10:56Speaker 1: Yeah, And if you look at Trump and Elon in
- 10:59Speaker 1: jen I think Elon's obvious power is the megaphone that
- 11:03Speaker 1: he has, you know, as the owner of X, but
- 11:06Speaker 1: also his potential of being able to move markets, and
- 11:10Speaker 1: when I say move markets, move political markets. Trump says
- 11:13Speaker 1: that Elon would face serious consequences if he funds Democratic candidates.
- 11:18Speaker 1: I don't necessarily think he would go that far to
- 11:20Speaker 1: the left unless maybe there is something else. But I
- 11:24Speaker 1: feel like right now what we've seen is a little
- 11:25Speaker 1: bit of a daytime between the two. We started to
- 11:29Speaker 1: see Elon slow down a little bit on X tweets,
- 11:32Speaker 1: and of course this plays into maybe how this is
- 11:35Speaker 1: going to go forward, or does Trump have something that
- 11:38Speaker 1: he could play against Elon, Because when he's talking about
- 11:42Speaker 1: what those consequences would be, he declined.
- 11:44Speaker 2: To share the what they would be.
- 11:46Speaker 1: So this is still playing into a couple of points
- 11:49Speaker 1: that I think a lot of people are trying to say, Hey,
- 11:51Speaker 1: we got to figure out how to get this relationship prepared.
- 11:54Speaker 1: Both are well liked, I think, you know, within to
- 11:57Speaker 1: an certain extent at least with what they're trying to do,
- 12:00Speaker 1: but also both are hated on the other side. So
- 12:04Speaker 1: it's an interesting time right now as we start to
- 12:06Speaker 1: see all this playing out with the FED and so forth.
- 12:10Speaker 1: So it's going to be something that will impact markets,
- 12:13Speaker 1: I think in a big way.
- 12:14Speaker 2: So we got to stay very close to this. Overall.
- 12:17Speaker 1: Other things that happened last week and this week is
- 12:20Speaker 1: what's going on with Circle. Circle of course announced their ipo.
- 12:24Speaker 1: IPO was very successful. We started to see a little
- 12:26Speaker 1: bit of movement on it, some retlacement on it. But
- 12:28Speaker 1: also when you look at what Circle is doing, is
- 12:31Speaker 1: this a business that has the kind of legs that
- 12:35Speaker 1: if you think about the alternative, which is tether and
- 12:38Speaker 1: what we've seen in terms of the growth of tether,
- 12:42Speaker 1: many people are starting to ask that very same question
- 12:44Speaker 1: about Circle.
- 12:45Speaker 2: Here's what they had to say.
- 12:46Speaker 9: There's a really big kind of shift on Wall Street,
- 12:49Speaker 9: which is they are looking to figure out where's the
- 12:52Speaker 9: intersection of cryptocurrencies and traditional finance, and obviously stable coins
- 12:56Speaker 9: I think is one area where they've said, hey, not
- 12:58Speaker 9: only is this something that the market wants in terms
- 13:00Speaker 9: of the free market of users on the internet, but
- 13:02Speaker 9: it's also something that we can benefit from ourselves as well.
- 13:04Speaker 9: And you hear many of the large banks and financial
- 13:06Speaker 9: institutions talking about using stable coins themselves. So it's something
- 13:10Speaker 9: that is touching on crypto, but it's something that they
- 13:12Speaker 9: understand and they can use themselves. And so I think
- 13:14Speaker 9: maybe a word of caution is that every crypto company
- 13:17Speaker 9: that now tries to go public may not get the
- 13:19Speaker 9: same welcome. It may be more of a stable coin
- 13:21Speaker 9: story than it is a crypto story.
- 13:24Speaker 2: All right.
- 13:24Speaker 1: So that's an interesting statement by pomp Deiano because he
- 13:28Speaker 1: doesn't really answer the question of is it a lucrative
- 13:32Speaker 1: business because you still have to look at stable coins, yes,
- 13:35Speaker 1: because of the regulatory framework. But the other thing that
- 13:38Speaker 1: he kind of got to and I'll touch on in
- 13:40Speaker 1: a minute, is the fact that he was almost sidestepping
- 13:43Speaker 1: the potential of other crypto related companies coming into the fold,
- 13:47Speaker 1: at least on the S and P five hundred or
- 13:48Speaker 1: even just on stock change, and how they might play
- 13:51Speaker 1: out in how companies and people would invest in them
- 13:54Speaker 1: in the future. Before I go to that, though, I
- 13:57Speaker 1: want to jump over to answering that very question that
- 14:00Speaker 1: is it lucrative for Circle as a company? Take a look,
- 14:04Speaker 1: is this a lucrative business model?
- 14:05Speaker 9: What do you think this should be worth?
- 14:06Speaker 7: For Coinbase, It's great because they are.
- 14:09Speaker 2: Why it's the better for Coinbase then for Circle.
- 14:11Speaker 7: It's obviously the best for Circle because they own the
- 14:14Speaker 7: IP on this one, but it's great for Coinbase because
- 14:16Speaker 7: they're distributing it and there's a lot of they're kind
- 14:19Speaker 7: of tied by the belly button because Coinbase needs Circle
- 14:22Speaker 7: because they mint the dollar, and Circle needs Coinbase because
- 14:25Speaker 7: they have a lot of users, so they're kind of
- 14:27Speaker 7: like intertwined. It's great for everyone.
- 14:29Speaker 8: So let me ask you this Circle now has done
- 14:32Speaker 8: quite well.
- 14:32Speaker 5: There's going to be a lot of people who aren't
- 14:33Speaker 5: in it who wonder if they should own the shares now,
- 14:35Speaker 5: should they own shares of Circle?
- 14:37Speaker 2: Should they just own Coinbase?
- 14:38Speaker 6: Should they just own bitcoin?
- 14:39Speaker 9: Out right?
- 14:39Speaker 2: I mean, what are the different advantages?
- 14:41Speaker 7: So in crypto specifically, and I don't cover Circle of course,
- 14:45Speaker 7: but in crypto specifically, I would still go with the
- 14:49Speaker 7: most diversified of all, which is actually Robinhood, because you
- 14:52Speaker 7: get the best of all worlds, right, you get exposure
- 14:55Speaker 7: to crypto, you get exposure to bitcoin, the volatility. I mean,
- 14:58Speaker 7: we're okay with coinbas We upgraded a while ago and
- 15:01Speaker 7: we warmed up to them, so not you know, yeah, no,
- 15:03Speaker 7: I know, I listen, we upgraded. But from a diversification perspective,
- 15:10Speaker 7: you don't want to be exposed one hundred percent to
- 15:11Speaker 7: crypto because today things are great, but as you said,
- 15:14Speaker 7: bitcoins trading down you never know what all.
- 15:17Speaker 1: Right, So interesting points there that he was making is
- 15:20Speaker 1: that what's kind of curious is that they're kind of
- 15:23Speaker 1: correlating bitcoin to stable coins, and that I think is
- 15:28Speaker 1: the maybe the unusual connection if you think about how
- 15:32Speaker 1: closely they're related. But if you look at what like
- 15:35Speaker 1: Pampleana was talking in the previous clip, you know he
- 15:37Speaker 1: was already kind of I would say, down talking a
- 15:41Speaker 1: little bit of the potential of crypto companies that could
- 15:44Speaker 1: make their way onto the stock exchange in a big way,
- 15:48Speaker 1: and one of them that we've talked about many times
- 15:50Speaker 1: here on the show is spat. You know, when you
- 15:52Speaker 1: look at what sharplink is doing with its correlation to ethereum,
- 15:57Speaker 1: a crypto company or a crypto all and the potential
- 16:01Speaker 1: for that in terms of it becoming a new store
- 16:03Speaker 1: of value or a store of assets around ethereum, that
- 16:07Speaker 1: I think is interesting that Papiano made that statement. Another
- 16:10Speaker 1: thing that you have to look at is what's going
- 16:12Speaker 1: on with the Genius Act. And of course this right
- 16:14Speaker 1: now is Senator Lummus saying that the Genius Act is
- 16:17Speaker 1: just around the corner. It will pass next week. That
- 16:20Speaker 1: is coming fast. When this occurs, guys, we will see
- 16:25Speaker 1: a market move, whether it is going to happen on Bitcoin,
- 16:28Speaker 1: whether we see Ethereum start to move, It could kick
- 16:31Speaker 1: off in all coin season. There are many things that
- 16:33Speaker 1: could start to play into this. That also mainly is
- 16:36Speaker 1: because that legislation will be out of the way. Next up,
- 16:39Speaker 1: of course, is a market structure bill. Regulation will continue
- 16:43Speaker 1: to be part of this market over the next six
- 16:45Speaker 1: to eight months, So be on the lookout for all
- 16:47Speaker 1: of these things. It is going to get heated in
- 16:50Speaker 1: the market. If you're not subscribed to the Diamond Circle
- 16:53Speaker 1: right now, get in on all of that because that's
