Episode 496 The S&P 500 is just 2% from a record high but over 63% of stocks are in a correction, down by more than 10%. If you’re looking for bargains, you don’t have to wait for the market to tank, the bargains already exist. Don’t try to perfectly time the market. Early this year when the market was at a top, I bought and it worked out just fine. I’m not saying to rush out and buy, I’m currently sitting on over 20% cash. But I’m also not afraid to add to my positions because I have a long term perspective and stay diversified.

Episode 495 Last Friday’ panic didn’t last long. I’ve been hoping for a pullback to buy the dip; but even if that doesn’t happen, that just reiterates the strength of this market. Bottom line, leadership remains strong and it’s mostly focused on the ancillary AI trade. What I call the convergence of Industrials and Tech.

Episode 464:  Last episode we discussed comparative advantage as it relates to the success of countries and corporations but the same concept applies to INDIVIDUALS.  The problem that most people have is not knowing what their comparative advantage is.  Should you pursue your passion or force yourself to get out of your comfort zone?  I believe the best path to personal success is to use your God given talents and abilities to relieve other’s pain points.Sign up for free ALERTs & Market Commentary at: https://www.investablewealth.com/subscribe/------------------------------------------------------

Episode 463: Ignore the contemporary arguments about free trade.  There is no free trade.  What there is, is government policies that attempt to distort market forces.  Tariffs are in the news, but deregulation will trump Trump's tariffs.

Episode 461: Some of the kneejerk reaction to DeepSeek has already subsided but I want to make the point that advances in disruptive technology is ALWAYS a good thing and shouldn’t come as a surprise.  If DeepSeek is as good as they say, then it will dramatically increase the adoption of AI and strain the electrical grid faster than anticipated.  Just as the adoption of affordable air conditioning drastically changed society, a lower cost version of AI will spur consumption.Sign up for free ALERTs & Market Commentary at: https://www.investablewealth.com/subscribe/------------------------------------------------------

Episode 459: Inflation numbers keep coming in higher than “expected”.  The Fed will likely not cut rates as much as anticipated in 2025.  The Market hasn’t been happy about that.  Beyond inflation there are several issues which could impact the stock market early next year, expect a more business friendly environment with less antitrust actions and rolling back of the Chevron Doctrine.Listen to my recent appearance on The Disciplined Investor Podcast: https://thedisciplinedinvestor.com/blog/2024/12/08/tdi-podcast-the-robots-are-coming-898/Sign up for free ALERTs & Market Commentary at: https://www.investablewealth.com/subscribe/------------------------------------------------------

Episode 312:  TRIGGER WARNING:  This episode may offend some listeners…especially those of you that ask DUMB questions.  Bottom line…this episode focuses on the fundamentals of building wealth: Earn/Save/Invest.

Episode 310:  In this episode I compare Covid-19 to a neutron bomb that kills people but doesn’t destroy infrastructure.  The devastation is massive, but short-lived because CONSUMPTION is DEFERRED, not DESTROYED.

Episode 309:  Dividend paying stocks keep producing an income, even when the stock market is down.

Episode 306:  Forget about the Wuhan coronavirus, focus on things that build your wealth.  In this episode I’ll discuss top stock holdings and SAVINGS rates of successful financially independent people.

Episode 303:  Billionaire investor Ray Dalio has recently penned a piece for LinkedIn entitled “The world has gone mad and the system is broken.”

I think Mr. Dalio is wrong.  The world is what it is and if anything is broken it’s Ray Dalio’s economic model.  In this episode, I’ll discuss why the epic confluence of Technology & Demographics (depopulation) are hyper deflationary and why old economic theories of inflation are poor indicators of the economy.

Episode 301:  Today the S&P 500 set a new, all-time record high.  That’s in spite of all the fear over non-existing threats like the inverted yield curve.  Listen in for where I think the market is headed and why I remain optimistic.

View Details

Episode 299:  Over the past eight trading sessions the S&P 500 has surged to within 1% of a record high.  There are several explanations for the rally, with the primary reason being gestures coming out of China.  Will this uptrend hold or is it just a dead cat bounce?  All this and more in this episode.


View Details

Episode 296:  The market vacillates on a short term basic because of fickle investor sentiment, not fundamental valuations.  Sentiment is driven by the financial news cycle.  If you can understand the nature of the news cycle, you’ll be better able to identify true long term market direction.


View Details

Episode 294:  Today in retaliation to new tariffs, the Chinese have devalued their currency.  This is very similar to what we saw in August of 2015.

Global markets have tumbled and the S&P500 has broken below its 100dma.  For now I’m holding and don’t plan to buy this dip unless the S&P500 gets to or below its 200dma.


View Details

Episode 293:  Today the FED cut rates and postponed their Quantitative Tightening program.  The move was much anticipated and therefore we saw a typical “buy the rumor, sell the news” reaction.  The S&P500 was down over 1% and broke below 3000.

Should you be worried?  I’m not.  All that and more in this episode.

HEY- would you please do me a favor?  Earlier this year in Europe, I was interviewed by an Industrial association and a clip has been posted to YouTube.  I’d like to drive some traffic there and would really appreciate if you’d watch it.  It’s less than 5 minutes and my comments are extremely relevant to the impact of Robotics/Automation on the global economy.  Please watch:  https://youtu.be/LZ4xcsLaH8s

Episode 290:  Silver is trading below $14.50/oz…is this a good entry point?  Maybe not.  Perhaps precious metals are fairly priced because of the diminishing fear of inflation.

But what about JPMorgan?  Aren’t they stockpiling and manipulating the price of silver?  I’ve been hearing that story since at least 2012 when the price of silver was around $35.  All that and more in this episode.

In this episode I want to caution against cult like hero worship of celebrities and “experts”.  People give way to much credence to what the Talking Heads say.  Pay no attention to what people say, watch what they do.

As an example of elite conceit, I’ll play a few audio clips from the beloved Berkshire Hathaway’s Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger.

Episode 279: December 2018 was the worst stock market performance since the Great Depression…January 2019 is turning out to be one of the best.

What’s driving the bipolar personality of this market?  Just the same old schizophrenic internal battle between fundamentals and investor sentiment.

In my opinion, 2018 was characterized as a market driven down by irrationally poor investor sentiment, while the actual market conditions have been sound.  See this YouTube video for an illustration of S&P 500 fair market value:  https://youtu.be/36-148xJNBM

Bottom line, I believe fundamentals are sound and for now, interest rates will remain moderate enough to keep things moving along.

Episode 275:   I don’t recommend early retirement, especially in the context of Millennials that want to retire in their 30s or 40s.

I think early retirement is both Unrealistic and Undesirable.

It comes down to simple math, the retirement equation is:

Living Expenses = Pension + 4% Retirement Savings

Most people can’t afford to retire, early or otherwise.

But there’s a Wealthsteading solution, forget about retirement and instead strive to create a lifestyle career that you LOVE.

Episode 274:   I never budget.

Budgeting is a plan for failure.  Optimistic biased budgets encourage people to spend what they can “afford”.  Inevitably things go awry.  Unforeseen expenses cause a deficit that usually ends up on a credit card.

Stop thinking in terms of Emergency Funds...start thinking in terms of saving for an Opportunity Fund.

The issue shouldn’t be about affordability.  The master wealth building question is, “does this purchase advance my FREEDOM?”

Episode 265:  I start this episode with a quick market review and rundown of the crisis du jour and then recommend a book for summer reading.

Reminiscences of a Stock Operator is a must read classic for any serious student of investing.  It’s a quick read, narrative story that’s loosely based on the real life speculator & trader Jesse Livermore (1877-1940).

Here’s my favorite Jesse Livermore quote:

The game of speculation is the most uniformly fascinating game in the world. But it is not a game for the stupid, the mentally lazy, the person of inferior emotional balance, or the get-rich-quick adventurer. They will die poor.

Episode 261:  Has the volatility of the past eight weeks subsided and was a bottom put in?  Maybe.  The S&P500 held its 200dma and has remained above the February 9, 2018 low.

Episode 254:  One of the reasons I’ve remained optimistic this year has been due to the firm price power of copper.  It’s not too high and it’s not too low…boding well for a healthy global economy at the start of 2018.

Episode 252:  On December 1, 2017 ABC news released a story that former General Michael Flynn would testify that President Donald Trump had directed him to make contact with the Russians during the election.  The markets experienced a flash crash, the Russell2000 dropped more than 2.5% in less than 30 minutes.  Some individual stocks and ETFs were much more volatile.  Overall, the markets quickly recovered and closed out the day relatively flat.

What can you learn from this event?

Only those with access to immediate order execution could profit from this event. Those using Stop Loss Orders most likely sold at the worst time.

Episode 249:  In this episode we’ll discuss the IMPORTANCE of the Federal Reserve’s plan to unwind their $4.5 trillion balance sheet.  An old adage on Wall Street is, “don’t fight the Fed.”   Truer words were never spoken.  Fed policy is one of the most critical factors that affects the economy and the stock market.  Unwinding the Fed’s unprecedented balance sheet should be of interest to any serious investor.

In spite of much pundit pessimism, the markets are doing extremely well.  For now I’m holding all my positions.  Check out this recent video where I discuss the Mexican ETF (EWW) and the likely effects of NAFTA:  https://youtu.be/T8OHDO_MVvQ

And if you missed it, here’s an earlier video where I discuss my portfolio and outlook for the second half of 2017:  https://youtu.be/tu_xFHZ_imU

Episode 246:  After decades of being an oil consumer, the US has become an oil exporter.  The US is now the 11th top supplier to China, just behind the United Arab Emirates.

US oil production and exports have been a game changer, upsetting the PETRODOLLAR trade that has been dominated by OPEC for the past 40 years.  This is one of the primary reasons for the strength of the US Dollar in the wake of unprecedented Federal Reserve money printing (QE) and global deflation.  [Discussed in my book: The Robots are Coming ]

To understand the global economic impact of US oil production & the PETRODOLLAR see the previous episode for April 18 2016:  https://www.wealthsteading.com/181

Episode 241:  Will interest rates regress to their mean?  Yes, eventually when the Federal Reserve and other central banks end their intervention.

BUT…the important question is:  What mean?

The mean of the past 30 years?  Or the mean of the previous 90 year bond cycle, where with few exceptions (notably World War I) from 1875-1965 the 10 year Treasury’s yield was in the range of 2-4%.

Episode 232:  My mantra on building wealth is EARN+SAVE+INVEST, in that order.  The next most important skill is learning to ignore the news.  (See Wealth Building Principle #8: Decrypt Propaganda  )

Whenever the talking heads are sounding off, pretend it’s an alarm clock, hit the snooze button and rollover.  In most cases, they’re not informing you, they’re pitching an agenda.

An old Wall Street adage is, “Buy the rumor, sell the news.”  That’s what we’ll discuss in today’s episode.

Episode 230:  Thoughts on investing versus speculative trades.  Specifically discussing how in the next decade Bitcoin could be worth zero or a million dollars.

I relate blockchain technology to the invention of the wheel.  Revolutionary to be sure, so much so that no one knows for certain what will morph out of it.  Thus the future is extremely murky as to which cryptocurrencies will survive, in what form, and to what value.

Episode 227:  I don’t use a stop loss as a risk mitigation strategy because I believe it’s a false sense of security.  I’ve covered this a number of times, but people keep asking, so I’ll review my thoughts on the subject.  As with everything discussed in my podcast series, I just share my opinions and positions…what works or doesn’t work for me.  You need to think and act for yourself.

My biggest objection to using a stop loss is getting caught in a flash crash.  This is what occurred on August 24, 2015:  http://www.investablewealth.com/flash-crash-hazard-of-stop-loss-orders/

There is such confusion about the value of gold, that I wanted to make the case for why I believe gold is fundamentally overvalued as a long term investment.  This is a topic we’ve covered before and deals with the ratio of gold to the price of oil.  I’m presenting it in a video format to hopefully make it more understandable.

Episode 216:  In this episode we’ll take a break from discussing the stock market and instead consider the one of the aspects of the art of negotiating.  In particular, I’ll focus on the skill of distraction.

Understanding negotiation techniques is extremely important, if for no other purpose than these two reasons:

You are compensated to the degree you can negotiate. By recognizing negotiation techniques you can prevent yourself from being taken advantage of.

That last point is especially applicable when listening to CEO’s talk up their company stock prospects.
