- 3:00Speaker 4: It looks pretty good. It looks pretty good.
- 3:02Speaker 3: But you can call us this morning at three zero
- 3:04Speaker 3: four three four two eight one three one with any
- 3:06Speaker 3: questions for John Burdett from Fourth Avenue Financial. So I
- 3:09Speaker 3: guess we had Amy Smith on from Investors Business Daily
- 3:13Speaker 3: last week when Metro News Hotline, and she said there
- 3:16Speaker 3: really was anything to say about the market as far
- 3:18Speaker 3: as defining anything other than.
- 3:20Speaker 4: It's just a churn right now. It's just kind of churning.
- 3:23Speaker 5: Yeah, of course it seems to be churning a little
- 3:25Speaker 5: bit lower.
- 3:26Speaker 4: Yeah, a little bit on the low side.
- 3:27Speaker 5: I think we were down a little bit last week,
- 3:29Speaker 5: kind of across the board. Markets are down for the year.
- 3:35Speaker 5: They've rebounded a little bit from a couple of weeks ago,
- 3:39Speaker 5: but last week was a down week. The Dow's down
- 3:41Speaker 5: a couple percent this year, the Nasdaq, the tech heavies
- 3:44Speaker 5: down ten the Dows or the S and P's down five.
- 3:48Speaker 2: Uh.
- 3:48Speaker 5: The international markets are still up nine percent, so that
- 3:53Speaker 5: that's a great case for diversification there for sure. You know,
- 3:58Speaker 5: last week we were doing pretty well and it looks
- 4:01Speaker 5: like the the tariff news came through and on the
- 4:05Speaker 5: on the autos and such, and I think that riled
- 4:09Speaker 5: the market. I'm not so sure that those things will
- 4:12Speaker 5: have true effects necessarily. I mean, it will affect things,
- 4:19Speaker 5: but you know, corporate earnings, things of that nature, it's
- 4:22Speaker 5: probably less of an impact than the news story is
- 4:26Speaker 5: that everybody is talking about. You know, the United States.
- 4:32Speaker 5: You know, seventy percent of our economy is not related
- 4:35Speaker 5: to imports or exports at all. It's all internal and
- 4:39Speaker 5: our trading partners are opposite of that generally. So you know,
- 4:44Speaker 5: a lot of these countries that are being tariffed are
- 4:48Speaker 5: are much more dependent on us than us on them.
- 4:53Speaker 5: So we'll see how that all plays out. And there again,
- 4:55Speaker 5: this could be all a grand negotiation. Who knows what
- 4:59Speaker 5: what actually plays out right now. It is the autos
- 5:04Speaker 5: that were talked about last week, but of course those
- 5:07Speaker 5: are autos that are I believe it's important and full,
- 5:11Speaker 5: which is a whole lot different than parts and things
- 5:14Speaker 5: like that that are you know, simple different places. So
- 5:18Speaker 5: you know, it's not even the whole auto sector. It's
- 5:23Speaker 5: like I say, I think the headlines are a little
- 5:25Speaker 5: bit bigger than maybe the actual event is.
- 5:32Speaker 3: We've been running into that a lot recently, right, I mean,
- 5:34Speaker 3: we have the same sort of thing with inflation and
- 5:38Speaker 3: things like that. You know, the headlines on inflation were
- 5:40Speaker 3: actually a lot worse than inflation actually was, especially in
- 5:43Speaker 3: the United States when compared against the rest of the
- 5:44Speaker 3: country and things like that. So the narrative of this,
- 5:46Speaker 3: because sentiment draws everything, the narrative of this is tariffs everywhere,
- 5:50Speaker 3: prices are going to go out of control, et cetera,
- 5:52Speaker 3: regardless of what the actual dollars and cents are on it.
- 5:55Speaker 3: Sometimes sentiment is what controls today.
- 5:57Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 5:57Speaker 5: Yeah, And like I say, some of these countries that
- 6:00Speaker 5: we're trading with, they have and of course these auto
- 6:04Speaker 5: tariffs are different. So the next step they're talking about
- 6:07Speaker 5: are the reciprocal tariffs, trying to equalize trade. So that's
- 6:12Speaker 5: not necessarily putting tariffs on you know, there are certainly
- 6:17Speaker 5: new tariffs, but these countries are already putting tariffs on
- 6:20Speaker 5: our goods, and so a reciprocal basically means we're trying
- 6:24Speaker 5: to equalize it so that you know, we're not. I
- 6:27Speaker 5: if they're charging us at tariff, we're going to charge
- 6:30Speaker 5: them at tariff. So that that is the next steps
- 6:33Speaker 5: that's being talked about. And there again that that certainly
- 6:38Speaker 5: you know, will add costs to the to the to
- 6:42Speaker 5: the chain. But a lot of times tariffs don't even
- 6:45Speaker 5: get you know, companies move things around, they shift things
- 6:49Speaker 5: to go certain ways to get around the tariff. So
- 6:53Speaker 5: you know, most studies show that that a very small
- 6:56Speaker 5: percentage of the actual tariff flows through completely.
- 7:01Speaker 3: Of course, when it's not just one industry, when you
- 7:03Speaker 3: have several industries that's suffering it, then a little bit
- 7:06Speaker 3: here and a little bit they're still at it still
- 7:07Speaker 3: adds up.
- 7:08Speaker 5: Yeahably, you know, this year, of course, earnings estimates have
- 7:12Speaker 5: come down for companies we were looking at, you know,
- 7:16Speaker 5: mid teens, you know, fourteen to fifteen percent earnings expectations.
- 7:22Speaker 5: That's drifted down to about ten percent earnings growth. But
- 7:25Speaker 5: that's still ten percent earnings growth. You know, We're earnings
- 7:29Speaker 5: are coming in pretty strong across the board, and you know,
- 7:34Speaker 5: analysts seem to think that that's going to continue. Analysts
- 7:38Speaker 5: can be wrong, but that that is that is where
- 7:40Speaker 5: we set right now. And that's kind of putting the UH,
- 7:45Speaker 5: I think a floor of some somewhat into the market.
- 7:48Speaker 5: You know, most of the time, we don't get these
- 7:49Speaker 5: big swoons in the market, you know, actual you know,
- 7:57Speaker 5: major declines in the market and companies are making record profits.
- 8:03Speaker 5: Normally that doesn't happen. Doesn't mean it can't happen, but
- 8:05Speaker 5: it normally doesn't happen that way.
- 8:07Speaker 3: And it's it's really pretty when when when you when
- 8:12Speaker 3: we start talking about I guess conceptually, UH, there is
- 8:14Speaker 3: something I thought would be interesting to talk about, although
- 8:16Speaker 3: it doesn't necessarily land into the area of your absolute expertise,
- 8:21Speaker 3: but it talks about a lot of the things that's
- 8:22Speaker 3: kind of on the outside of these conversations. A lot
- 8:26Speaker 3: of people when when the discussion about tars first started
- 8:30Speaker 3: taking place, and especially when it comes to China, because
- 8:32Speaker 3: I think that was one of the first countries that
- 8:34Speaker 3: really started to get abandoned about.
- 8:35Speaker 4: About a lot.
- 8:36Speaker 3: And people talk about uh, intellectual prop UH, copyright theft
- 8:40Speaker 3: and and UH and what types of things, what what
- 8:43Speaker 3: exactly that means? And I was kind of curious on that.
- 8:45Speaker 3: I started doing a little bit of research. It's like,
- 8:46Speaker 3: exactly what do they mean by this? I mean where
- 8:48Speaker 3: where is this, Where is this theft taking place? What
- 8:51Speaker 3: different scenarios are there. And one of the ones I
- 8:53Speaker 3: ran into was a really interesting show that I listened
- 8:55Speaker 3: to that detailed the process of a an entrepreneur in
- 8:59Speaker 3: the United State was trying to make a barbecue grill scrubber.
- 9:03Speaker 3: So all that it was was for your barbecue grill
- 9:06Speaker 3: that you grill out on, and it was a scrubber,
- 9:08Speaker 3: and you know those things there's among the barbecue community.
- 9:10Speaker 3: There's a lot of like, you don't really want the
- 9:12Speaker 3: wire brushes because those can come out and anyway, So
- 9:15Speaker 3: this guy wanted to create something. He had an idea
- 9:17Speaker 3: on how to create a brand new type of scrubber,
- 9:19Speaker 3: and he wanted to make it one hundred percent in
- 9:21Speaker 3: the United States. Every part he wanted to have made
- 9:23Speaker 3: in the United States. He wanted to have the specs
- 9:25Speaker 3: made in the United States and everything else. And so
- 9:27Speaker 3: the show that I listened to was a story about
- 9:28Speaker 3: this guy simply trying to get a barbecue scrubber made
- 9:31Speaker 3: in the United States. Almost impossible, sure, almost impossible.
- 9:35Speaker 4: He did it.
- 9:35Speaker 3: He did it, and the price of the barbecue scrubber
- 9:37Speaker 3: and he knows that this is it's like fifty some dollars.
- 9:41Speaker 3: There was no way for it to compete with like
- 9:43Speaker 3: the ten dollars barbecue scrubbers or whatever else without going
- 9:46Speaker 3: to overseas to get it manufacturer, to get the spec
- 9:49Speaker 3: made or something else. And the reason they didn't want
- 9:50Speaker 3: to do that, And this is where sort of the
- 9:53Speaker 3: copyright theft comes into place is what happens. And if
- 9:55Speaker 3: you've seen this on Amazon, you know exactly what I'm
- 9:57Speaker 3: talking about. A company with an idea will send their
- 10:00Speaker 3: product over to China to get it manufactured end mass
- 10:03Speaker 3: and they'll do it, and you'll get it back and
- 10:05Speaker 3: it will be fine. There's I mean as fine with
- 10:06Speaker 3: inspects will allow it's okay. And so you get your
- 10:09Speaker 3: product and you're selling it on Walmart, Amazon, whatever it
- 10:12Speaker 3: might be. It's a great product. People love it. Suddenly
- 10:15Speaker 3: a few weeks later there's tons of that exac same
- 10:18Speaker 3: product on Amazon, especially Team wherever else you might find it.
- 10:22Speaker 3: That's because our laws here don't carry or at least
- 10:24Speaker 3: they're not going to honor them. And so the company
- 10:27Speaker 3: that that you sent your widget to to have manufactured
- 10:30Speaker 3: gave it a little bit of a pause, and then
- 10:32Speaker 3: just started manufacturing your widget themselves.
- 10:34Speaker 4: Right. That's not fair man.
- 10:36Speaker 5: That that's absolutely happened.
- 10:39Speaker 3: And that's I mean, there's many places that this takes place.
- 10:41Speaker 3: But imagining yourself as an entrepreneur that has an idea
- 10:44Speaker 3: that wants to do something like this and you're basically
- 10:46Speaker 3: your your choices are you either farm out the work
- 10:49Speaker 3: to another country where eventually your ideal will be stolen
- 10:52Speaker 3: if it's a good idea, or you haven't made in
- 10:54Speaker 3: the country where it's going to be three times more
- 10:56Speaker 3: expensive than the closest competitor.
- 10:58Speaker 4: It's an issue. I mean, it is an issue.
- 11:00Speaker 5: It is an issue, and it's one that hasn't really
- 11:03Speaker 5: been looked at or enforced too much.
- 11:06Speaker 6: Uh.
- 11:07Speaker 5: And maybe this will you know, a little short term
- 11:10Speaker 5: pain might be a long term gain.
- 11:12Speaker 4: We'll see.
- 11:12Speaker 3: Yeah, it's I don't that's way above my pay grade
- 11:15Speaker 3: on that, but I thought it would be it would
- 11:17Speaker 3: be whomy to educate myself when people talk about the
- 11:19Speaker 3: the the copyright theft and the intellectual theft, exactly what
- 11:22Speaker 3: that means. And it's enough when you start reading into it, it
- 11:25Speaker 3: will make you a little bit mad when all the
- 11:26Speaker 3: things that can happen just like you know, it's like
- 11:29Speaker 3: nothing is sacred when it comes to ideas and stuff anymore.
- 11:31Speaker 3: And I guess that's just a dog eat dog world
- 11:33Speaker 3: bit man.
- 11:33Speaker 4: That's not fair. That's not fair. You know.
- 11:35Speaker 5: It's interesting if you look at the trading partners, it's
- 11:37Speaker 5: it's probably not who most folks expect. I mean, everybody
- 11:42Speaker 5: thinks probably China, oh, our main. The EU is our
- 11:45Speaker 5: main trading partner, Mexico is second, China is third, then Canada, Japan,
- 11:56Speaker 5: and then Vietnam, Vietnam and uh is. Believe it or not,
- 12:02Speaker 5: we import about a third of what we do from China,
- 12:07Speaker 5: you know, so Vietnam is kind of punching above its
- 12:11Speaker 5: way there.
- 12:12Speaker 4: That's incredible.
- 12:13Speaker 5: I mean, I knew more and more things were coming
- 12:15Speaker 5: from Vietnam, but you can see that the supply chains,
- 12:20Speaker 5: particularly through COVID and some of those changes. You could
- 12:26Speaker 5: kind of see it in the numbers where things are shifting.
- 12:29Speaker 3: To in a very not necessarily off topic, but in
- 12:34Speaker 3: kind of a galaxy bring kind of way. One of
- 12:35Speaker 3: the things that I'm really concerned about with the tariffs
- 12:38Speaker 3: isn't necessarily the cost of passing on things, but I
- 12:41Speaker 3: read a little bit of research onto what the first
- 12:43Speaker 3: round of tariffs did to supply chains, and it was
- 12:45Speaker 3: just so happened that first that happened, and then COVID happened,
- 12:48Speaker 3: and it actually screwed up some of the supply chains
- 12:49Speaker 3: that were legacy supply chains were in place, and that
- 12:52Speaker 3: affected us during COVID. I'm really worried about more terriffs,
- 12:56Speaker 3: more robusts, more supply chains being disrupted. What if something
- 13:00Speaker 3: happens again, right, I'm not, I mean in likelihood hopefully not.
- 13:04Speaker 3: But it's just one of those things. We saw it
- 13:05Speaker 3: happen once. Let's hope not again. But can bring up
- 13:08Speaker 3: an interesting point there. People have like we talk about
- 13:12Speaker 3: common sayings and stuff all the time, you know, like
- 13:14Speaker 3: in the stock market or anything else that don't necessarily
- 13:16Speaker 3: bear fruit. I think that sometimes that we're upside down
- 13:19Speaker 3: on understanding exactly who our trade partners are and what
- 13:22Speaker 3: it is that's being imported and exported.
- 13:24Speaker 5: Yeah, no doubt about it. I mean, you know, things simple,
- 13:28Speaker 5: you know, Canada trees. You know, it's not it's not
- 13:33Speaker 5: always the electronic gadgets that really make up the bulk
- 13:37Speaker 5: of trade. It's it's a lot of auto you know,
- 13:42Speaker 5: and there again that's that's the thing with Germany. For instance,
- 13:46Speaker 5: Germany is very heavy in auto manufacturing. With these reciprocal tariffs,
- 13:55Speaker 5: possibly that might say, hey, if you want to sell
- 13:58Speaker 5: your cars, you probably should put a couple of factories
- 14:00Speaker 5: over here, diverse fy, you know, diversify your manufacturing so
- 14:05Speaker 5: that you're not subject to those tariffs. You know, that
- 14:08Speaker 5: is a long term I think probably goal of some
- 14:14Speaker 5: of this is to try to bring some of that back. Now,
- 14:16Speaker 5: whether that will happen in mass I don't know. But
- 14:21Speaker 5: you know, if we've been paying if there have been
- 14:23Speaker 5: tariffs on our goods and there haven't been tariffs on
- 14:28Speaker 5: the on the goods that that that we've been importing,
- 14:33Speaker 5: I mean, that's that is an unfair playing field and
- 14:37Speaker 5: it can help explain where our manufacturing went. So so
- 14:41Speaker 5: we'll see how it plays out. The problem is, you know,
- 14:44Speaker 5: there's going to be some disruption and things like that
- 14:48Speaker 5: because it takes time. Even if they say hey, let's
- 14:51Speaker 5: build a plan over in you know, West Virginia, what
- 14:55Speaker 5: takes time to do that. You know, supply chains don't
- 14:58Speaker 5: shift overnight, so that's that's an issue. And of course
- 15:02Speaker 5: you still have do we have enough people to do
- 15:05Speaker 5: the work here? You know, our own employment rates incredibly
- 15:08Speaker 5: low right now. So you know, are we gonna you know,
- 15:12Speaker 5: be robots, you know, producing this or what's what's going
- 15:16Speaker 5: to happen. So we'll see how it plays out.
- 15:19Speaker 3: The emerging future is going to be interesting with the
- 15:22Speaker 3: reallocation of the labor force and different things like that.
- 15:24Speaker 3: I did a story on Hotline on Friday that had
- 15:26Speaker 3: to do with I think five hundred restaurants from Young Brand.
- 15:29Speaker 3: So that's like Taco Bell and Pizza Hutt in places
- 15:31Speaker 3: like that are running out these AI assistants for ordering
- 15:35Speaker 3: at the at the window, and your first blush that
- 15:39Speaker 3: this might be that's ridiculous, But frankly, could it get
- 15:41Speaker 3: any worse?
- 15:42Speaker 4: Yeah?
- 15:43Speaker 3: You know, so I mean if it actually gets better,
- 15:45Speaker 3: I mean, that's going to cause jobs, but it's going
- 15:47Speaker 3: to make for a better end user experience. So you know,
- 15:50Speaker 3: I mean, the company would be doing their job. You know.
- 15:52Speaker 5: Down down in Florida, I ran through a Checkers restaurant
- 15:56Speaker 5: and it was AI order taker. It sounded just like
- 15:59Speaker 5: a human even even replied, you know, I almost couldn't
- 16:04Speaker 5: tell the difference. I mean, they actually stated as it
- 16:08Speaker 5: started that it.
- 16:09Speaker 4: Was yeah, right, so just so.
- 16:11Speaker 5: That you you knew and and uh and of course
- 16:14Speaker 5: I at first I was not real happy about that
- 16:17Speaker 5: because this sounds ridiculous. But they had a two cheeseburger
- 16:23Speaker 5: combo thing, and I would have one cheeseburger one way
- 16:26Speaker 5: and one cheeseburger or the other to perfect.
- 16:29Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 16:30Speaker 4: See, that's the thing.
- 16:31Speaker 3: That's the thing is there's no way that AI can
- 16:33Speaker 3: be as good as a fully engaged human in that situation.
- 16:36Speaker 4: There's just no way.
- 16:36Speaker 3: It's not going to do it what humans fully engaged
- 16:39Speaker 3: working a drive through window?
- 16:40Speaker 4: Right? None? Zero?
- 16:41Speaker 3: Right, that's why your orders are always wrong. If this
- 16:44Speaker 3: actually increased it better is the end user experience. I
- 16:47Speaker 3: don't care how much you hate AI, you're going to
- 16:49Speaker 3: be more likely to go to that restaurant.
- 16:50Speaker 5: You are and and and there again. That's going to
- 16:56Speaker 5: One camp will say that takes jobs. The other camp
- 17:00Speaker 5: says that freeze.
- 17:01Speaker 4: Raise up labor. Exactly, yeah, exactly.
- 17:03Speaker 3: I mean, wouldn't you rather labor be pointed towards something
- 17:06Speaker 3: that's more useful than taking burger orders? I mean, I'm
- 17:09Speaker 3: not trying to say that that's a bad job.
- 17:10Speaker 4: It's not. But if you didn't have to do it,
- 17:13Speaker 4: then you could put that labor towards something else. Isn't
- 17:15Speaker 4: that a good thing? Or can it be? It might
- 17:17Speaker 4: take some time, but I see where it comes.
- 17:20Speaker 5: Sounds generally, you know how like you say, how wealth
- 17:23Speaker 5: is created, you move up the food chain, so to speak,
- 17:27Speaker 5: to utilize your skills and higher places.
- 17:32Speaker 3: It seems like it's it's gonna be interesting. It's gonna
- 17:34Speaker 3: be interesting to see what happens to our labor force. See,

- 20:28Speaker 3: in on this this Monday morning. It's a pretty nice Monday,
- 20:31Speaker 3: a little bit, a little bit moist outside, a little
- 20:34Speaker 3: wet around the edges, but not too bad. I have
- 20:36Speaker 3: thunderstorms and rain overnight, but this kind of a nice
- 20:40Speaker 3: spring morning so far this morning. As you're coming into work,

- 21:03Speaker 3: non three five five zero zero eight three zero four
- 21:06Speaker 3: non three five five zero zero eight And we're you know,
- 21:09Speaker 3: we we kind of went uh all over the place
- 21:11Speaker 3: a little bit in the first segment here, but it's
- 21:13Speaker 3: because there's there's there's almost because of where the terrorists
- 21:18Speaker 3: are setting At least my impression on this is because
- 21:20Speaker 3: of where the terrorists are settling. Things that are going on.
- 21:23Speaker 3: What inflation numbers I think came in a little hotter
- 21:25Speaker 3: again than what was expected in some it seems like
- 21:27Speaker 3: that we're back to there's a little bit of a
- 21:29Speaker 3: collective breath holding a little.
- 21:31Speaker 5: Bit, yes, And what I think is important to remember
- 21:35Speaker 5: that when anxiety is the highest, that's usually when things
- 21:42Speaker 5: turn around. Yeah, right, you know, if everybody is afraid,
- 21:46Speaker 5: if everybody is cautious, it doesn't take very much to
- 21:50Speaker 5: move it in the other direction. And that doesn't mean,
- 21:53Speaker 5: the market's finished going down. I don't know what the
- 21:56Speaker 5: market's going to do, but usually when the fear gets high,
- 22:01Speaker 5: when anxiety is ruling the day, it's usually close to
- 22:05Speaker 5: a turning point.
- 22:07Speaker 3: What's really wild And again this kind of goes back
- 22:09Speaker 3: to the sentiment and everything as well. I was reading
- 22:11Speaker 3: this was some time ago, but it was a study
- 22:13Speaker 3: on how how like the influence of crowds and sentiment
- 22:18Speaker 3: and things like that works. And it's really crazy that
- 22:20Speaker 3: the science of tipping points is really crazy because a
- 22:23Speaker 3: tipping point is not like it's fifty to fifty and
- 22:25Speaker 3: then as soon as the fifty first percent gets on
- 22:27Speaker 3: the other side of the teeter totter, that's your tipping point.
- 22:29Speaker 3: The tipping points more like twenty three or twenty four percent.
- 22:32Speaker 3: It's like a really low number that you can get
- 22:35Speaker 3: sentiment to go one way and it drives the sentiment
- 22:38Speaker 3: for the rest of the seventy some percent. It's really
- 22:40Speaker 3: incredible the way that psychology works with tipping I mean.
- 22:42Speaker 5: Just look at the American Revolution. Yeah, oh, I mean
- 22:45Speaker 5: there were a very few actual revolutionaries, but there were enough.
- 22:51Speaker 4: Man.
- 22:51Speaker 3: I don't want to get into this on the air,
- 22:53Speaker 3: but I read a I don't know how to call
- 22:58Speaker 3: it an unfiltered retelling of the American Revolution and some
- 23:03Speaker 3: of the things that are actually going on that that
- 23:06Speaker 3: started it. Yeah, man, there our schools don't really carry
- 23:10Speaker 3: the bill when it comes to the revolution all that much.
- 23:12Speaker 3: I understand why to some degree. But there's a lot
- 23:14Speaker 3: of stuff that was going on there that actually is
- 23:17Speaker 3: very fascinating if you would actually teach it and not
- 23:20Speaker 3: use the broad heroic growth strucks. You know, there's a
- 23:23Speaker 3: lot of stuff going on there with like Sam Adams
- 23:25Speaker 3: and stuff like that. I mean, there's a you.
- 23:27Speaker 5: Know, I like the Nate Bargatzi version of it myself.
- 23:31Speaker 4: Right, right, exactly right.
- 23:32Speaker 3: I mean, it's it's an interesting thing that anyway, that's uh,
- 23:36Speaker 3: there's a lot that's reflective in today. Honestly, if you
- 23:39Speaker 3: would look at some of the things that were going
- 23:41Speaker 3: on in the way sentiment was trying to be changed
- 23:43Speaker 3: back then there's a there's a little bit of parallel honestly.
- 23:46Speaker 5: Well that there again that goes back to all the
- 23:49Speaker 5: different moving parts that are happening, and they're interrelated, and
- 23:52Speaker 5: one thing little happens over here and it's not the headline,
- 23:55Speaker 5: but those are the things that actually sometimes matter. Uh,
- 24:00Speaker 5: you'll see that. Like we say, when when one cag
- 24:04Speaker 5: turns over here, it makes the other gear turn over here.
- 24:07Speaker 5: And you know, people react to things in unknowable ways.
- 24:11Speaker 5: And but rest assured, because we all wake up every
- 24:15Speaker 5: morning and want a better love for ourselves and our families,
- 24:19Speaker 5: we're all going to try to do our best to
- 24:22Speaker 5: take action around those things that improve us. And collectively,
- 24:27Speaker 5: that's generally what has happened in a free market. That's
- 24:31Speaker 5: what happens. People pursue their own interest and and it
- 24:36Speaker 5: propels everyone forward.
- 24:37Speaker 3: And in a case like this, you know, it's a
- 24:39Speaker 3: little bit interesting right now because we're talking about tariffs,
- 24:41Speaker 3: which tarifs are nothing new, but they're sort of new
- 24:45Speaker 3: in the sort of the globalists economy that we have now.
- 24:50Speaker 3: So that's the one thing that we have, you know,
- 24:53Speaker 3: just just unlimited data when it comes to the market
- 24:55Speaker 3: and influence of the market and stuff like that. However,
- 24:58Speaker 3: this is a little bit of a new situation because
- 25:00Speaker 3: we're talking about an old concept when it comes to tariffs,
- 25:03Speaker 3: but one that hasn't really been applied to the globalization
- 25:06Speaker 3: of the economy. So that's to me at least from
- 25:09Speaker 3: an academic standpoint, kind of interesting of the whole thing.
- 25:11Speaker 3: Exactly what's the difference one between tariffs of then in
- 25:15Speaker 3: tarifts and what it means now in a global economy?
- 25:17Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't know. You know, if you look at
- 25:19Speaker 5: the tariff rate right now, that it's about two and
- 25:25Speaker 5: a half percent, and if we look at the reciprocal rate,
- 25:28Speaker 5: if we were going to do one hundred percent reciprocal
- 25:32Speaker 5: tariffs on other countries, it would be sixteen point two percent.
- 25:35Speaker 5: So you're talking about thirteen and a half predig act
- 25:39Speaker 5: to which means you know, yes, would that mean we're
- 25:43Speaker 5: raising tariffs thirteen and a half percent to equalize that?
- 25:48Speaker 4: Yes?
- 25:48Speaker 5: But the converse argument there is other countries have been
- 25:52Speaker 5: doing that to.
- 25:53Speaker 4: Us, right, right?
- 25:55Speaker 5: So is that fair trade? You know, it's kind of
- 25:59Speaker 5: above you know my opinion.
- 26:00Speaker 3: I mean, right, all of this is getting very you know,
- 26:03Speaker 3: Dave calling his accountant to come solve the crisis from right.
- 26:06Speaker 5: But but you know, it didn't destroy things when they
- 26:09Speaker 5: tariff us right now?
- 26:12Speaker 4: Could it?
- 26:13Speaker 5: Could it go wild if everybody starts slapping tariffs here
- 26:17Speaker 5: or there and you don't know where they're coming from. Yeah,
- 26:19Speaker 5: that's going to be disruptive. Will that happen? I don't know.
- 26:22Speaker 5: I don't know how these countries will respond. I do
- 26:25Speaker 5: know this as a record importer of goods, I would
- 26:33Speaker 5: think the United States has the high card in in
- 26:37Speaker 5: in the match because we're the We're the consumer. They
- 26:41Speaker 5: want to sell their products to us. You know, our
- 26:44Speaker 5: our UH exports are relatively minor compared to what we import,
- 26:51Speaker 5: so you know that that is one argument to say
- 26:55Speaker 5: that that we will won't. We won't come out unscathed
- 27:02Speaker 5: in that type of battle, but we will probably come
- 27:05Speaker 5: out better than most countries.
- 27:07Speaker 2: Will.
- 27:07Speaker 3: We do have a question that's come along on the
- 27:09Speaker 3: text line from the three zero four five four one John.
- 27:11Speaker 3: I'm heavily into tech, which means I've been hit very
- 27:13Speaker 3: hard recently. What I don't understand is why would a
- 27:16Speaker 3: good company that's already been beat down be sold off
- 27:19Speaker 3: further because of market conditions.
- 27:21Speaker 4: I don't know which particular company is talking about there,
- 27:23Speaker 4: but well.
- 27:23Speaker 5: A lot of them. I mean I I have a
- 27:26Speaker 5: couple that I've owned forever, close to forever that have
- 27:30Speaker 5: that have done very well. Now now this year they're not.
- 27:35Speaker 5: You know, it's herd mentality. Essentially trying to find what
- 27:39Speaker 5: the what the fair price is of of these companies
- 27:42Speaker 5: and how dependable their earning streams are. You know, everything
- 27:46Speaker 5: ultimately is based on earnings. If a company continues to
- 27:50Speaker 5: grow their earnings, the stock price at any one given
- 27:55Speaker 5: time is almost irrelevant to that fact unless you need
- 28:00Speaker 5: the money at that point in time. You know, if
- 28:03Speaker 5: you own a company earning billions and billions of dollars
- 28:07Speaker 5: and and it continues to do that and you own
- 28:11Speaker 5: part of that company, if you're a patient, it's very good,
- 28:16Speaker 5: very good, uh uh chance that that will that will
- 28:21Speaker 5: pay off for you, because that money has to go
- 28:23Speaker 5: somewhere and are generally going to go to the owners
- 28:25Speaker 5: in some fashion, whether that be through dividends or or
- 28:29Speaker 5: stock buybacks, you know, or a company growth through through
- 28:33Speaker 5: reinvesting those earnings back into the company, like you're seeing
- 28:36Speaker 5: so much with these tech companies right now investing in AI.
- 28:40Speaker 5: You know, Microsoft is earning billions and billions of dollars,
- 28:44Speaker 5: but they're also investing billions and billions of dollars into
- 28:47Speaker 5: these things that that they hope will further grow their earnings.
- 28:53Speaker 5: And if they're wrong, you know, that's not necessarily good.
- 28:58Speaker 5: That they could be wrong, but the core business is
- 29:01Speaker 5: still earning billions and millions of dollars.
- 29:02Speaker 3: We've seen that famously with companies in the past. We
- 29:05Speaker 3: talked I think last week maybe about meta and the metaverse,
- 29:08Speaker 3: you know, I mean, that's a that's a moonshot they've
- 29:10Speaker 3: been taken, because when you reach a certain pedestal, you
- 29:12Speaker 3: got to take moonshots to get it higher, you know,
- 29:14Speaker 3: And the metaverse is kind of a moonshot.
- 29:17Speaker 5: You know, as an investor, when you're looking at that, well,
- 29:20Speaker 5: my stock's down, how much further can it go down?
- 29:24Speaker 5: The market can be very irrational sometimes. The key to
- 29:30Speaker 5: owning individual stocks is understanding really what you do own,
- 29:34Speaker 5: What is that company doing, what are their prospects for growth?
- 29:38Speaker 5: And are you comfortable with that story? And if you are,
- 29:43Speaker 5: the stock prices should be it should be irrelevant to you. You
- 29:46Speaker 5: don't like it when when it goes down, But if
- 29:48Speaker 5: you own a quality asset and you're comfortable with the story,
- 29:52Speaker 5: then why would you sell it? And we go back
- 29:55Speaker 5: to that the deal like I talk about with the
- 29:58Speaker 5: real estate, if you own a house up and buy
- 30:00Speaker 5: for one hundred thousand, rent it for one thousand dollars
- 30:02Speaker 5: a month. If somebody knocks on the door next month
- 30:04Speaker 5: and says I'll give you eighty thousand, you wouldn't panic.
- 30:07Speaker 5: You tell them to hit the road, right, Yeah, right,
- 30:10Speaker 5: you know, because next month, you know the rent's coming in.
- 30:13Speaker 4: That's a good points and over.
- 30:15Speaker 5: Time, and over time, the rent probably goes from one
- 30:18Speaker 5: thousand to eleven hundred to twelve hundred. Just like company
- 30:21Speaker 5: earnings tend to grow and that should press the stock
- 30:27Speaker 5: price is higher if the earnings continue to grow. So
- 30:30Speaker 5: so some of it is, you know, I don't know
- 30:32Speaker 5: what the market's going to do from day to day.
- 30:33Speaker 4: Nobody does.
- 30:35Speaker 5: But if I understand my company, if I understand the
- 30:38Speaker 5: earnings of that company and their prospects, and I'm comfortable
- 30:41Speaker 5: with that, you know, could that mean you could still
- 30:44Speaker 5: be wrong with some of those those expetits.
- 30:46Speaker 4: Sure you could.
- 30:48Speaker 5: But if you still believe it, why would you panic?
- 30:51Speaker 5: Why would you sell the stock? You know at that
- 30:54Speaker 5: point point, at that point you're looking at it as hey,
- 30:58Speaker 5: this is a great company and it keeps going down.
- 31:01Speaker 5: You know, maybe I should buy more.
- 31:03Speaker 4: Yeah, maybe I shouldn't jump off the bridge with everybody else.
- 31:05Speaker 5: Maybe I should maybe I should be the one taking
- 31:08Speaker 5: the shares in while everybody else panics. But you have
- 31:12Speaker 5: to be confident in the company you own. If you've
- 31:15Speaker 5: done your homework and you're patient, that should pay off
- 31:20Speaker 5: if you if you're correct. What happens in the strong
- 31:23Speaker 5: market day to day is really just very loosely tied
- 31:28Speaker 5: to what's actually going on in the companies from day
- 31:30Speaker 5: to day.
- 31:31Speaker 3: It's very interesting if there's been a lot of companies
- 31:34Speaker 3: that you could kind of track this with even a
- 31:36Speaker 3: layperson from the outside. I think we mentioned a lot
- 31:38Speaker 3: of times on this program. We've talked about general electrics
- 31:41Speaker 3: and how it's changed over time, you know, And another
- 31:43Speaker 3: one that I think is actually maybe more prominent, especially
- 31:46Speaker 3: relating to this text question with God. When you look
- 31:48Speaker 3: at Google. You know, one time Google was a was
- 31:50Speaker 3: a product company. You know, it's a data company. Now
- 31:53Speaker 3: it's not a product company anymore. So you might use
- 31:55Speaker 3: their products, but that's just so they can get your data.
- 31:58Speaker 3: But regardless of what you think about that, they found
- 32:00Speaker 3: that that was their model that they were going to find.
- 32:03Speaker 3: You know, they thought at one time that they could
- 32:04Speaker 3: be a social media company, that they could make all
- 32:06Speaker 3: these different products. They had news readers, you know, they
- 32:09Speaker 3: had all these different products that they had out there
- 32:11Speaker 3: that they wanted people just to get into their environment
- 32:13Speaker 3: and provide these products. What it ended up being is
- 32:15Speaker 3: they found out that the thing that was most valuable
- 32:17Speaker 3: to them was just data. All they wanted to do
- 32:18Speaker 3: was get as much data one as they possibly could get.
- 32:21Speaker 3: You launched the phones that have that integrate perfectly with Google.
- 32:26Speaker 3: Suddenly they don't need to get you in with social
- 32:28Speaker 3: media stuff and stuff like that. You just give them
- 32:30Speaker 3: all their data, all your data on your phone. Regardless
- 32:32Speaker 3: of what you think about that, Google found a way
- 32:34Speaker 3: to monetize that. They're no longer trying to sell you products.
- 32:36Speaker 3: Google's not a product company. They're a data company, and
- 32:39Speaker 3: it's transferred over time. But if you've invested in Google
- 32:42Speaker 3: from the very beginning and you trusted the company and
- 32:45Speaker 3: what they were doing and following along, you've come out okay.
- 32:47Speaker 3: Although they're no longer the product company that they once was,
- 32:50Speaker 3: they once were.
- 32:50Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah there again, it's a dynamic company. And if
- 32:54Speaker 5: you are comfortable with what the management is doing, if
- 32:57Speaker 5: you know your company that you individually owed you know,
- 33:00Speaker 5: you should never buy or sell a stock based on
- 33:02Speaker 5: what the stock price is. The stock prices are relevant,
- 33:05Speaker 5: it's is the stock price fair with what I believe
- 33:08Speaker 5: is happening at the company, and am I paying a
- 33:11Speaker 5: fair price for it? You know, you can look at
- 33:14Speaker 5: a stock price and say, well, it's one hundred dollars
- 33:16Speaker 5: a share. Now it's five hundred dollars a share. It's
- 33:18Speaker 5: too high, Well, it says who you know? Or it
- 33:23Speaker 5: went back down to two hundred dollars to share. It's
- 33:25Speaker 5: too low, says who you know? What is happening in
- 33:29Speaker 5: that company? That's the only thing that really matters if
- 33:31Speaker 5: you're investing. Now, if you're trading, then all bets are off.
- 33:36Speaker 5: You know, then you're you're in that emotional roller coaster
- 33:39Speaker 5: zone that that that's a space that I don't play
- 33:42Speaker 5: in now a lot of people do, but that is
- 33:46Speaker 5: a whole different ballgame.
