Launch the Works Pizza Co downtown 4 00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:14,280 Speaker 2: Lowland on Wednesday, and is Monday, and it is this 5 00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:16,840 Speaker 2: time when we always talk to Monday Monday, Brian James. Monday, 6 00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:19,280 Speaker 2: Monday is the time of week and thanks to all 7 00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:21,959 Speaker 2: we're financial flowing now Brian James to talk about these topics, 8 00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:26,320 Speaker 2: most notably uh the impact on the conflict going on 9 00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:28,000 Speaker 2: the Middle East called a war. If you want on 10 00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:30,120 Speaker 2: the market, Brian James, welcome back to the Morning show. 11 00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:32,120 Speaker 2: I'm staring at the Wall Street Journal cover or front 12 00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:35,080 Speaker 2: page here Dow Jones looking down a little over a 13 00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:38,199 Speaker 2: point same thing with SMP five hundred nasdacked down a 14 00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:39,920 Speaker 2: little bit more north of a point and a half, 15 00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:42,240 Speaker 2: although really not as bad as I would have thought 16 00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:44,879 Speaker 2: the markets would be in terms of futures. Welcome back 17 00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:46,159 Speaker 2: to my friend. It's good heaving you on to talk 18 00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:46,840 Speaker 2: about these things. 19 00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:49,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, wish we had happier headlines to talk about. 20 00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:52,680 Speaker 3: You know, here we go again with a little bit 21 00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:53,960 Speaker 3: of a war in the Middle East, and yeah, I 22 00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:55,400 Speaker 3: think we can go ahead and fairly call it a war. 23 00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:58,279 Speaker 1: I'm not sure what else happens over there so so far. 24 00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:02,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, like you said, nothing surprising is happening with regard 25 00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:05,920 Speaker 3: to the economics and markets and so on and so forth. 26 00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:08,800 Speaker 3: The stock markets are down because, as we know, we 27 00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:12,360 Speaker 3: don't like the lack of visibility. That's really the challenge 28 00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:15,240 Speaker 3: that the market faces every time there's headlines like this. 29 00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:17,400 Speaker 3: And of course, as you would not be surprised to hear, 30 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:20,960 Speaker 3: oil futures are up about nine percent. Fill up now 31 00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:22,679 Speaker 3: if you haven't already, But I have a feeling that 32 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:25,480 Speaker 3: overnight the price isn't the gas pump changed anyway, you 33 00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:28,360 Speaker 3: may have missed your window. Surely, don't need to make 34 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:30,080 Speaker 3: light of any of this. Obviously, there's a lot going 35 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:31,800 Speaker 3: on here, and this is these are scary times. They 36 00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:33,520 Speaker 3: were scary before this happened, and they just got a 37 00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:34,199 Speaker 3: little bit worse. 38 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,039 Speaker 1: But as far as what the. 39 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,240 Speaker 3: Economic impact and all that stuff is, right now, we're 40 00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 3: kind of following the pattern down or oil up, stocks down. 41 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:44,839 Speaker 1: With the exception of the defense sector. 42 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:48,280 Speaker 3: We're seeing companies like Lockheed Martin and Raytheon, all those 43 00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:51,560 Speaker 3: kind of companies are having a good day. Unfortunately, because 44 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,040 Speaker 3: of the situation that we're all. 45 00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:56,280 Speaker 2: In military industrial complex, the whole world's clamoring for weapons 46 00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:58,760 Speaker 2: and missiles, and now they're all being dedicated and committed 47 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:00,680 Speaker 2: to the Middle East, which presents problem for a lot 48 00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:02,400 Speaker 2: of countries out there, but also for US in our 49 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,639 Speaker 2: long term potentially long term involvement in the conflict. Lots 50 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,680 Speaker 2: of reporting about our stockpiles being depleted. So there you go. 51 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,840 Speaker 2: Maybe you do need to invest in the military industrial complex. 52 00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:15,360 Speaker 2: At least you get a return on your investment, notwithstanding 53 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 2: the grave reality of why can I ask you a question, 54 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,480 Speaker 2: Brian James, I we spin the clock back, but basically 55 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 2: a moment in time, Opek had a stranglehold on us. 56 00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:26,760 Speaker 2: I remember the embargo back in the seventies. I remember 57 00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 2: the price gasling going up. I remember gasoline lines. We 58 00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 2: didn't have much by way of domestic production back then. 59 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 2: But if, unfortunately we do now, do you think that 60 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 2: the fact that we do have so much more production 61 00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 2: of our own, either in our backyard or maybe like 62 00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,600 Speaker 2: the Canadian oil fields, or perhaps because we took over 63 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 2: ven as well as production, that that has softened the 64 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 2: blow of what might been more the worse economic news 65 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:51,359 Speaker 2: this morning. 66 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's really one of the main reasons, 67 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,440 Speaker 3: because it used to be kind of bipolar. 68 00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 1: There were two teams. There was OPEC and everybody else. 69 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,760 Speaker 3: But that's not really the the question anymore, because the 70 00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,800 Speaker 3: US has opened up a lot of its own oil 71 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:08,640 Speaker 3: reserves due to law changes, technological changes with regard to 72 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 3: fracking and so forth. 73 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:11,240 Speaker 1: So you have a little bit of history here. 74 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:15,960 Speaker 3: So so OPEC still represents about forty percent historically of 75 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:19,440 Speaker 3: total crude output, about eighty percent of proven oil reserves 76 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,640 Speaker 3: around its members there, but it's not the sole price 77 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,960 Speaker 3: center anymore. Global supply also includes a lot of oil 78 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,239 Speaker 3: out of the US, USL Brazil, Canada and other non 79 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 3: OPEC producers. 80 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 1: So there's just more involvement. 81 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 3: That the auction got bigger, there are more bidders out 82 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 3: there to affect the market. It's not just everybody sitting 83 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:39,120 Speaker 3: around waiting for OPEC to tell us what to do. 84 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 2: Basic economic principles supply and demand, greater supply. Actually this 85 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 2: results in less volatility, which is a good thing. Question 86 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:50,200 Speaker 2: considering this one element the price of oil and it's 87 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 2: global impact, that of course impacts the markets because we 88 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 2: of course have international investments through a four to one 89 00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 2: case as well. But I wasn't shocked. But when you 90 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 2: read the numbers, eighty percent of global oil consumption and 91 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:06,040 Speaker 2: almost one quarter of global seaborne oil trade goes right 92 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,560 Speaker 2: there through the Strait of Hormuz, twenty one miles wide, 93 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 2: with shipping lanes only two miles across in each direction. 94 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,840 Speaker 2: It's tight, it's close to Iran, it's right there, and 95 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,479 Speaker 2: by all accounts this morning, it's been effectively shut down. 96 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:20,120 Speaker 2: They're concerned about minds being placed and have all the 97 00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:22,600 Speaker 2: problems will go along with that. So you're looking at 98 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:24,800 Speaker 2: a dense area there in terms of global oil shipment. 99 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 2: But it's not necessarily US that might be impact because 100 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 2: my understanding is, and I've read it this morning, eighty 101 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:33,200 Speaker 2: four percent of the crude and eighty three percent of 102 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:38,599 Speaker 2: LNG goes through the Strait is going for Asia, China, India, Japan, 103 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,920 Speaker 2: and South Korea. Now might their economies be impacted by 104 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:43,159 Speaker 2: the shutdown of the straits too? 105 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:45,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, but everything is still connected. 106 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,520 Speaker 3: As much as we you know, the US is starting 107 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 3: to take steps back away from globalization, we still have 108 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:53,359 Speaker 3: customers all over the world. So if their economies are 109 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:57,000 Speaker 3: are interrupted, then that's going to affect ultimately the US. 110 00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:57,240 Speaker 1: Yeah. 111 00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:00,119 Speaker 3: Well, so you know, there's really three paths that were 112 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 3: watching here. The first would be, I would say a 113 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:05,359 Speaker 3: contained conflict, which means it just this, this is what 114 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:08,240 Speaker 3: we've seen in the past. The strikes remain focused on, 115 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:13,560 Speaker 3: you know, on the military types of targets, infrastructure stays undamaged, 116 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,279 Speaker 3: and the horror moves stays open. Oil could still go 117 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,880 Speaker 3: a little bit higher, of course, fear logistics is always 118 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,520 Speaker 3: a thing, but that premium could go away, as you know, 119 00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 3: at once the initial shock settles out and the oil 120 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:27,160 Speaker 3: flows proved to not have been erupted. So if that happens, 121 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:30,279 Speaker 3: the US economy will see it mostly through gasoline price increases, 122 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 3: which we've been through this before, and of course more 123 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,599 Speaker 3: talk about inflation and so forth gets a little worse. 124 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 3: The bigger problem is is, as you kind of hinted 125 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,600 Speaker 3: out already, is infrastructure. So if Iran is not able 126 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,680 Speaker 3: to export as efficiently and quickly as they used to 127 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 3: be able to and maybe possibly you know permanently that 128 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:48,600 Speaker 3: that's of course going to have a real loss of 129 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:52,600 Speaker 3: supply Iran. As you mentioned, Iran's exports are still pretty concentrated, 130 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:54,800 Speaker 3: so even if that's targeted, it's gonna make a lot 131 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,400 Speaker 3: of difference because of that whole global supply chain. This 132 00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:00,400 Speaker 3: results in of course higher crew prices that would hang 133 00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,359 Speaker 3: around a little longer. That's headline inflation. And again this 134 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:05,280 Speaker 3: is just this just makes it a little bit worse 135 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:09,680 Speaker 3: than the idea that this is a quieter disruption than 136 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,640 Speaker 3: we've normally seen. But really I think the big thing 137 00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:14,880 Speaker 3: is in anything that's going to tie up the horror 138 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,200 Speaker 3: moves for more than a week, that's really kind of 139 00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:20,400 Speaker 3: the cutoff point where we will be in somewhat uncharted waters. 140 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:21,840 Speaker 1: That's going to have a more a. 141 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:25,839 Speaker 3: Bigger impact possibly on macroeconomics, meaning simply the bigger picture, 142 00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 3: not just a disruption, not just anger at the gas pump, 143 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,279 Speaker 3: something that's going to trickle through to more industry. 144 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:32,560 Speaker 1: So we'll be watching this over the next week or 145 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 1: so to see what the final impact is. 146 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 2: Well, in your comments about globals, I mean oil is 147 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:39,000 Speaker 2: expressed in global supply, and if you take iron's global 148 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,000 Speaker 2: supply out of it, you are obviously going to end 149 00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:44,359 Speaker 2: up with less on the market. Of course, more increased 150 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:46,559 Speaker 2: price per barrel. I've read as high as one hundred 151 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:48,640 Speaker 2: and ten, although I've seen as low as well. It 152 00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,160 Speaker 2: may spike to eighty. So there's this huge range of 153 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 2: may might and speculation and tea leaf reading what we'll 154 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:55,920 Speaker 2: deal with when we come with it. But in terms 155 00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 2: of the percentage of global output, do you know offhand 156 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:01,160 Speaker 2: how much Iran represents? 157 00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:05,000 Speaker 3: In terms of that, it's significant enough that it's going 158 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 3: to leave a mark. But like you said before, they're 159 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 3: not the only provider anymore. So we can look though 160 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,280 Speaker 3: at history and see what the impact has been over time, 161 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:14,920 Speaker 3: and this speaks directly to that question. 162 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 1: So in nineteen seventy. 163 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:19,520 Speaker 3: Three, we had the Arab Israeli war, oil prices quadrupled 164 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:22,080 Speaker 3: after OPEC put the embargo in place. Now that was, 165 00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:25,040 Speaker 3: of course before our current situation where there are more 166 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 3: players in the oil game. Yes, nineteen seventy nine, that 167 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,840 Speaker 3: was the Iranian Revolution and the oil prices roughly doubled then, 168 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:34,760 Speaker 3: pretty significant disruptions to production, and that played a role 169 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 3: in what we like to talk about here all the 170 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:39,200 Speaker 3: time in terms of stagflation and the FED tightening stance. 171 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:40,640 Speaker 1: Back then then we moved to. 172 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:44,200 Speaker 3: Nineteen ninety oil prices doubled during the Gulf War, but 173 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 3: the US led coalition was able to step in and 174 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,600 Speaker 3: prevent that from having a larger impact in two thousand 175 00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:52,360 Speaker 3: and three. After nine to eleven, oil prices kind of 176 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:57,520 Speaker 3: stayed relatively modest increases right before the invasion, and oil 177 00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,480 Speaker 3: prices actually fell right after because supply I was not 178 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 3: severely disrupted during that war, believe or not, so this 179 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 3: can happen without disrupting the flow of oil. We'll just 180 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 3: see if all parties want to worry about. 181 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 2: That well, And all I can interject is, thank God 182 00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:14,080 Speaker 2: for drill, baby, drill. We are clearly in a much 183 00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:16,720 Speaker 2: better position than we were even a couple of decades ago. 184 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:18,800 Speaker 2: Brian James will continue. We're going to find out this 185 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:24,000 Speaker 2: morning about artificial intelligence driving volatility, that and more with 186 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,400 Speaker 2: Brian James stick around, be right back after I mentioned 187 00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:29,240 Speaker 2: speaking of energy USA insulation. Actually I believe it was 188 00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:31,360 Speaker 2: my son just the other day talking about his friends 189 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:37,000 Speaker 2: complaining about these skyrocketing energy bills. Station eight nineteen fifty 190 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:40,439 Speaker 2: five kar CEV Talk Station Happy Monday, Monday Monday with 191 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:44,280 Speaker 2: Brian James, Muller Financial pivoting over to something that's driving 192 00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,120 Speaker 2: a lot of fear, and I will admit to having 193 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,760 Speaker 2: a little bit of fear about artificial intelligence myself, Brian James. 194 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:50,680 Speaker 2: Don't understand it well enough, but I do know it 195 00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 2: may very well impact the well a lot of people's jobs, 196 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 2: a lot of people worried about job security. But what 197 00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:00,079 Speaker 2: is driving the volatility about which you want to talk 198 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:01,880 Speaker 2: about this morning, Brian James. 199 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:03,240 Speaker 1: Well, there's a few pieces to this, right. 200 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:06,560 Speaker 3: So first off, AI is of course, just like anything, 201 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:10,000 Speaker 3: is also playing a role in the algorithmic program trading, 202 00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:13,600 Speaker 3: so it's having a direct impact on transactions that do 203 00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 3: drive volatility in the market. We shouldn't be shocked at that. 204 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,560 Speaker 3: Every time there's a new technological innovation, it tends to 205 00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:20,960 Speaker 3: find its way into the place where people make most 206 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,839 Speaker 3: of their money, which is the stock market. So that's definitely, 207 00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:27,439 Speaker 3: of course a factor here, but also just the overall 208 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 3: idea that right now AI is the catalyst driving the market. 209 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:33,240 Speaker 3: So there's always a catalyst pushing the market. 210 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:33,960 Speaker 1: In some direction, right. 211 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:37,440 Speaker 3: So the original Internet wave in the late nineties, when 212 00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:40,959 Speaker 3: Yahoo and Google were a thing, that that was the catalyst. 213 00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,000 Speaker 3: Then then we had real estate was a catalyst in 214 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:45,760 Speaker 3: the run up to the two thousand and eight disaster, 215 00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:49,120 Speaker 3: and then it became mobile technology, social media, so on and 216 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:51,880 Speaker 3: so forth. Now the flavor of the week is artificial intelligence, 217 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:55,319 Speaker 3: and it pushes the markets in both directions. So let's take, 218 00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:57,280 Speaker 3: for example, a week ago. I'm gonna read you two 219 00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:01,920 Speaker 3: headlines here from recent ups and downs in the market. 220 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,600 Speaker 3: So this came out about six days ago, little less 221 00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:07,720 Speaker 3: than a week. US stocks rise after getting a reminder 222 00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:09,080 Speaker 3: of AI's potential upsides. 223 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:10,319 Speaker 1: That's an ap news headline. 224 00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:14,120 Speaker 3: Three days ago, US stocks sink and oil prices rise 225 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:17,800 Speaker 3: as worries about AI inflation and possible war hit Wall Street. 226 00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:21,199 Speaker 3: So AI is good news and bad news pay apparently 227 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:22,440 Speaker 3: depending on the mood that you're in. 228 00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:24,520 Speaker 2: Brian Thomas, well, in terms of I think about it 229 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:28,800 Speaker 2: in terms of investing, and my son is involved in 230 00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,080 Speaker 2: some trading and he's actually been doing quite well, but 231 00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:33,080 Speaker 2: you know, he's he gets something, he's in for like 232 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:35,520 Speaker 2: five minutes and he's out, he gets his five percent hit, 233 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:38,360 Speaker 2: he goes home, and it really works. Who's going to 234 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:40,680 Speaker 2: be doing, I mean, is artificial intelligence is going to 235 00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:43,040 Speaker 2: be making the sort of picking of stocks and the 236 00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,360 Speaker 2: selection of stocks along those lines. Is it going to be. 237 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:48,640 Speaker 2: I mean, I hate to say this out loud, but 238 00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:51,720 Speaker 2: removing you from an area of necessity Brian. 239 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:54,800 Speaker 3: James, Well, that's not what we do anyway. So yeah, 240 00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:56,640 Speaker 3: we have very different approach in terms of that. What 241 00:10:56,760 --> 00:11:00,839 Speaker 3: you're talking about is day trading there and already, yeah, 242 00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:02,880 Speaker 3: that's definitely not mean we're we're running the other way 243 00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:06,080 Speaker 3: from that approach. My role is to basically help people pull, 244 00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:09,040 Speaker 3: drag them back from the one tree that they're staring at, 245 00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:12,080 Speaker 3: so that you see the entire forest of their situation, 246 00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:15,040 Speaker 3: figure out what their resources are and frankly what they 247 00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,160 Speaker 3: can get away with in retirement in terms of timing 248 00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,600 Speaker 3: and the cash flow and all that other fun stuff. 249 00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:21,160 Speaker 1: I am not. 250 00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:23,280 Speaker 3: Worried about what stock XYZ is going to do in 251 00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:25,960 Speaker 3: the next five minutes versus ABC. Nothing wrong with that approach, 252 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:27,640 Speaker 3: it's just a different I don't think there's a lot 253 00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:30,080 Speaker 3: of value in providing that to other people because there's 254 00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:33,560 Speaker 3: just too much you know, there's too much unpredictability in it. 255 00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:35,960 Speaker 1: And that's not what people tend to worry about anyway. 256 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:37,400 Speaker 3: It's all it all tends to be about how do 257 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:39,200 Speaker 3: I take care of myself and my family? Do what 258 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:41,000 Speaker 3: I want to do without being changed at a desk 259 00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:42,760 Speaker 3: for the rest of my life at a little differ approach. 260 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:45,480 Speaker 2: And I guess the other component is you and I. 261 00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:47,640 Speaker 2: I don't think anybody really knows how this is ultimately 262 00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:49,880 Speaker 2: going to shake out. It's new technology, and quite often 263 00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:51,839 Speaker 2: it takes time for all of us to adjust to it, 264 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:55,520 Speaker 2: and eventually the new technology makes way for new types 265 00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,680 Speaker 2: of jobs. And we since we can't necessarily envision where 266 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:01,360 Speaker 2: these new industries and air is are right now when 267 00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:04,199 Speaker 2: this new technology is rolling out, it's almost like it's 268 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:06,400 Speaker 2: amazing that we end up landing on our feet down 269 00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:09,480 Speaker 2: the road, given the gloom and doom stories we read 270 00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:11,520 Speaker 2: about the new technology. When we've been through this before. 271 00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:14,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, and this isn't new, And just because we're talking 272 00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:16,520 Speaker 3: about it this morning doesn't mean we're we are calling 273 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:18,839 Speaker 3: the attention of the smart money in the world that 274 00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:20,960 Speaker 3: they should be looking at AI and figuring how to 275 00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:23,439 Speaker 3: how to use it in money management scenarios. 276 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:25,440 Speaker 1: It's already happening. It's been happening for a while. 277 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:28,280 Speaker 3: So there are AI driven trading systems that will literally 278 00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:31,640 Speaker 3: look across the entire order book, across all exchanges and 279 00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:34,880 Speaker 3: they're looking for inefficiencies. I can buy something at this 280 00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:36,880 Speaker 3: store and send and sell it over here at this 281 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 3: other store and keep the difference. 282 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:40,880 Speaker 1: That's really what the that's arbitrage. 283 00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:43,240 Speaker 3: Basically, AI can do it a lot more quickly than 284 00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:46,160 Speaker 3: humanize and even you know some of the past technological 285 00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:48,720 Speaker 3: tools we've out they had out there, trades get executed 286 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:53,800 Speaker 3: in milliseconds. Microstructural changes come around and uh, and those 287 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:57,680 Speaker 3: are reacted to instantaneously, far different than when human beings 288 00:12:57,800 --> 00:12:59,520 Speaker 3: are the only ones pulling the levers. 289 00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:02,400 Speaker 2: Well speed at which we trade now, which you just 290 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:06,200 Speaker 2: pointed out microseconds, is that ultimately, in the end, that's 291 00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:09,079 Speaker 2: an improvement that's working to our advantage. That it doesn't 292 00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:11,480 Speaker 2: take you communicating with some guy on a trading floor, 293 00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:13,480 Speaker 2: swap and paper with another guy on the trading floor 294 00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:16,480 Speaker 2: and engaging this longer process to get the trade done right. 295 00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:19,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, and then for those of you thinking, Okay, I'm 296 00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:21,800 Speaker 3: just a regular Joe, I want to take advantage of this, 297 00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:23,200 Speaker 3: how do I do it and keep my day job? 298 00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:26,280 Speaker 1: Well, you kind of really don't. Long gone are. 299 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:28,960 Speaker 3: The days where your broker would call you, leave you 300 00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,200 Speaker 3: a message on a pink slip of paper. Hey, what 301 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:32,760 Speaker 3: do you think about X y Z call me back. No, 302 00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:36,240 Speaker 3: we're down to microseconds. Nobody cares what the end to 303 00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:38,720 Speaker 3: customer thinks of it. It's just going to happen because 304 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:40,719 Speaker 3: it has to happen that quickly. We don't get the 305 00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:45,400 Speaker 3: the pleasure or the opportunity to review and take a 306 00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:46,080 Speaker 3: breath and think. 307 00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:49,079 Speaker 1: That's where AI is leading us away from that. 308 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:51,720 Speaker 3: Human moment where a brain needs to stop and take 309 00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:52,599 Speaker 3: a breath and think about it. 310 00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:54,640 Speaker 1: I'm not sure that's all good, but that's what this 311 00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:55,079 Speaker 1: is about. 312 00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:57,760 Speaker 2: Speed speed, speed, speed, speed, speed, and just starting a 313 00:13:57,760 --> 00:13:59,960 Speaker 2: shout out in my head. Say with the frozen orange 314 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:03,959 Speaker 2: Jews market trading places, those days are gone, right and. 315 00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:06,200 Speaker 3: The Gijo doll with the kung fu grip, yes, is 316 00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:07,439 Speaker 3: long and long in the past. 317 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:10,280 Speaker 1: That's right. Another good one. It's just shy of eight 318 00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:10,719 Speaker 1: twenty five. 319 00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:12,280 Speaker 2: We'll continue. We got one more to talk about everything 320 00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:14,800 Speaker 2: that's happened in the world. But look, the economy is 321 00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:21,400 Speaker 2: remaining resilient. That's got k the talk station A twenty 322 00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:24,960 Speaker 2: eight fifty five K see he talks station Brigga McDonald 323 00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,120 Speaker 2: from the Hudson and Suit on energy. What the Middle 324 00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:29,480 Speaker 2: East conflict's going to do to that and for you 325 00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:30,720 Speaker 2: and I we talked a little about that with Brian 326 00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:33,000 Speaker 2: James on the phone. Right now, all word financials, Brian James, 327 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,000 Speaker 2: let's pivot over to some good news. I guess Brian, 328 00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:38,200 Speaker 2: we got a resilient economy in spite of all the 329 00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:40,240 Speaker 2: chaos going on in the world. 330 00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:43,440 Speaker 3: Well, we do have the ability to see you usually 331 00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:45,600 Speaker 3: passed the chaos a little bit, and that's why, as 332 00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:48,320 Speaker 3: we were talking about earlier, the market doesn't completely collapse 333 00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:50,720 Speaker 3: with the kind of scary headlines we can get over 334 00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:52,880 Speaker 3: the weekend. At the end of the day, cooler heads 335 00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:55,560 Speaker 3: do prevail and we realize that while we do have conflicts, 336 00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:58,280 Speaker 3: money still moves in a circle and we'll continue to 337 00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:01,040 Speaker 3: do so throughout We saw, you know, you can go 338 00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:02,840 Speaker 3: back through history and figure out in World War Two 339 00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:05,360 Speaker 3: the stock market wasn't down, didn't It didn't just drop 340 00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:07,360 Speaker 3: off a cliff until it hit zero and then sit 341 00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:09,720 Speaker 3: there until the war was over and then we moved on. 342 00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:12,000 Speaker 3: That's not how it works. Money moves in a circle 343 00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:13,760 Speaker 3: no matter what. So we do have the ability to 344 00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:15,880 Speaker 3: still look at the economy and just recognize that even 345 00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:18,320 Speaker 3: if we're on somewhat of a wartime footing. That doesn't 346 00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:21,120 Speaker 3: mean that we need to start making decisions drastically differently. 347 00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:25,720 Speaker 2: Well, what about producer inflation? What about consumer confidence and 348 00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:28,120 Speaker 2: jobless claims and all these things. I know mortgage rates 349 00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,800 Speaker 2: have come down, yeah, and these so we're. 350 00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:32,880 Speaker 3: In a somewhat good situation with regard to all this. 351 00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:35,960 Speaker 3: There's always there's always something to be scared about. But 352 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,000 Speaker 3: you mentioned like mortgage and mortgage rates are moving in 353 00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:41,320 Speaker 3: a positive direction. They are down over the last couple 354 00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:43,720 Speaker 3: three years. If you're somebody who was stuck with an 355 00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:45,520 Speaker 3: eight percent mortgage and you were mad that you had 356 00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:47,400 Speaker 3: to sign on the dotted line with that interest rate 357 00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:49,400 Speaker 3: on the form, well you might want to start paying 358 00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:51,960 Speaker 3: attention because we are getting down into the lower sixes 359 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:53,960 Speaker 3: and it may be time for you to pull the 360 00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:57,640 Speaker 3: trigger on that refinance. People have to move, and that 361 00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:00,400 Speaker 3: that's not a choice that everybody gets. So it does 362 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:03,680 Speaker 3: seem that housing situations are starting to loosen up a 363 00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:06,360 Speaker 3: little bit in terms of those who didn't wanted to 364 00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:09,360 Speaker 3: hold off for a better situation are now starting to 365 00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:09,840 Speaker 3: pull the trigger. 366 00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:10,680 Speaker 1: So we're starting to see a. 367 00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:12,960 Speaker 3: Little more flexibility there in a little bit more of 368 00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:14,480 Speaker 3: a buyer's market than we've seen lately. 369 00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:17,720 Speaker 2: Well, that may be the case, but the home prices 370 00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:20,200 Speaker 2: themselves have not dropped. I mean, I would imagine with 371 00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:23,800 Speaker 2: a lower interest rate, the prices might increase, given that 372 00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:26,440 Speaker 2: more people might be inclined to jump into the market. 373 00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:28,960 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, this is definitely not about pricing. This is 374 00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:31,840 Speaker 3: about not the price of the house itself. It's the 375 00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:34,840 Speaker 3: overall cost of owning it. But with interest rates having dropped, 376 00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:36,840 Speaker 3: you know, if you look at the percentage decrease, we're 377 00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:39,400 Speaker 3: actually down about fifteen percent on interest rates. You go 378 00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:41,320 Speaker 3: down from eight to you know, six and a half, 379 00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:44,520 Speaker 3: then that's a larger chunk than you might be thinking. 380 00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:48,760 Speaker 3: So the monthly payment can be a little more palatable 381 00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:50,320 Speaker 3: now to somebody who knew they were going to have 382 00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:52,600 Speaker 3: to move in the relatively short term. So therefore where 383 00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:54,000 Speaker 3: they weren't going to pull the trigger a couple of 384 00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:55,960 Speaker 3: years ago, we'll just grin and Barrett with this house, 385 00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,160 Speaker 3: we're not really thrilled with anymore. Now we're in a 386 00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:00,440 Speaker 3: situation where people are saying, Okay, it's just time to 387 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:02,400 Speaker 3: do this. It may not be perfect, but it's better 388 00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:04,760 Speaker 3: than it was, so let's go ahead and make the decision, 389 00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:05,400 Speaker 3: all right. 390 00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:08,840 Speaker 2: In terms of jobless claims, I would think that, well, 391 00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:12,159 Speaker 2: given AI it's going to perplace everybody's job and replace 392 00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:15,560 Speaker 2: it with a computer algorithm, that might be a little 393 00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:17,480 Speaker 2: concern on that one. But where are we in terms 394 00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:19,240 Speaker 2: of the current jobless situation. 395 00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:22,720 Speaker 3: Well, late late February, initial jobless claims rose to about 396 00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:25,640 Speaker 3: two hundred and twelve thousand, up about four thousand from 397 00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:28,520 Speaker 3: the week before. That was below expectations. That was the 398 00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:31,000 Speaker 3: bumpy one. We got a little bit not too long ago. 399 00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:34,399 Speaker 3: The four week moving average slightly hired to about two 400 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:38,040 Speaker 3: hundred and twenty thousand, So jobless claims relatively stable in 401 00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:41,160 Speaker 3: recent weeks. Now we'll see, we've got these these headlines 402 00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:42,560 Speaker 3: we just got over the weekend. We'll see if that 403 00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:44,280 Speaker 3: has a direct impact. I think it's going to take 404 00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:46,320 Speaker 3: a while for that to trickle all the way through 405 00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:49,320 Speaker 3: the economy to the jobless numbers. But at the same time, 406 00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:51,520 Speaker 3: people are paying attention and we're going to be thinking. 407 00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:54,640 Speaker 3: Businesses are going to be making big decisions based on visibility. 408 00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:56,919 Speaker 1: This is how we let off this whole this. 409 00:17:56,840 --> 00:18:00,119 Speaker 3: Morning was the market absolutely hates lack of visibility. Not 410 00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,639 Speaker 3: scary headlines, We can handle that. It's the fact that 411 00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:04,800 Speaker 3: we can't really get a good feel and kind of 412 00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:08,920 Speaker 3: predict with any level of confidence what's coming. So therefore 413 00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:12,320 Speaker 3: companies tend to pull in and just get real conservative 414 00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:14,240 Speaker 3: in the shorter run. Here we'll see if that holds true. 415 00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:16,600 Speaker 2: Well, I know everybody's got the memos. An election year 416 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:19,080 Speaker 2: in November, Oh my god, And inflation is big concern. 417 00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:22,600 Speaker 2: Democrats are screaming affordability, affordability, affordability, and that may be 418 00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:27,520 Speaker 2: on the rise inflation, just looking at the potential increase 419 00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:30,760 Speaker 2: in the price of oil, which obviously impacts literally everything 420 00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:33,720 Speaker 2: that we do. But where's inflation? At least as of 421 00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:34,880 Speaker 2: this moment in time. 422 00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:38,920 Speaker 3: Inflation is tame right now, we're not We're still stuck 423 00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:41,680 Speaker 3: at that kind of happy place, happy ish place where 424 00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:43,439 Speaker 3: we would really prefer, we would super like it to 425 00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:45,720 Speaker 3: be around two percent, but we're stuck around. 426 00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:47,480 Speaker 1: Three And we've been in. 427 00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:50,480 Speaker 3: This range for a long time now, and so I 428 00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:53,640 Speaker 3: think all bets are off now for what we thought 429 00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:55,359 Speaker 3: we knew over the past several months. We need a 430 00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:57,560 Speaker 3: little bit of time to let it soak through with 431 00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:00,080 Speaker 3: regard to what is what are oil prices? Well, what 432 00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:02,840 Speaker 3: kind of impact is that going to have? And frankly, 433 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:05,600 Speaker 3: how long is this gonna last? I think the real 434 00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:08,680 Speaker 3: difference here it's not conflict in the Middle East, because 435 00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:10,600 Speaker 3: that's been around for a while, that ebbs and flows. 436 00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:12,440 Speaker 1: It's the straight hoh horror moves. I think that's the 437 00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:13,080 Speaker 1: big difference. 438 00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:14,960 Speaker 3: We have not had a situation where it has been 439 00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:17,160 Speaker 3: closed off for a period for a long period of time, 440 00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:19,080 Speaker 3: So that's gonna be one of the big questions we 441 00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:20,720 Speaker 3: have to answer over the next couple of weeks. 442 00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:23,000 Speaker 2: Well, in spite of the whaling and nashing of teeth 443 00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:26,399 Speaker 2: about inflation, generally speaking, I see that the consumer confidence 444 00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:27,399 Speaker 2: has actually risen. 445 00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:30,719 Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think that is because, you know, as 446 00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:33,440 Speaker 3: I talk to you know, clients every day, we see 447 00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:36,040 Speaker 3: these headlines. We're trying to plan around it, and people 448 00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:38,760 Speaker 3: react differently than they did in the you know, I've 449 00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:41,359 Speaker 3: been doing this for thirty years. People react differently now 450 00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:44,080 Speaker 3: than they used to. Used to be, these headlines were 451 00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:47,120 Speaker 3: absolutely deal killers and we just simply can't handle any 452 00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:48,880 Speaker 3: kind of volatility at all. 453 00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:49,320 Speaker 1: Now. 454 00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:52,200 Speaker 3: It's just taken for granted. This is no fun the stinks, 455 00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:54,560 Speaker 3: but I've seen it before many, many times. You know, 456 00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:56,879 Speaker 3: I think a lot of people who are, you know, 457 00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:59,679 Speaker 3: maybe near retirement age. Now we're brought up during the 458 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:02,399 Speaker 3: eighty in the nineties when there really weren't any scary 459 00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:05,280 Speaker 3: headlines at all, and now ever since the turn of 460 00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:07,520 Speaker 3: the century, it's been every couple three years we have 461 00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:10,520 Speaker 3: some showstopper of a headline that should terrify. So I 462 00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:12,600 Speaker 3: think we're becoming a little more numb to it. Collech 463 00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:14,840 Speaker 3: is a good thing, exactly, We've got a little thicker 464 00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:17,760 Speaker 3: skin and we are we are able to react, let 465 00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:20,800 Speaker 3: things recover, and then react versus reacting to the initial headline. 466 00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:21,920 Speaker 2: Well that's a great development. 467 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:22,159 Speaker 1: You know. 468 00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:25,800 Speaker 2: Clickbait is what fuels those outrageous headlines, and so people 469 00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:27,720 Speaker 2: are finally coming around to the notion that just because 470 00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:30,040 Speaker 2: the headline is, oh my god, we're all gonna die. 471 00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:33,119 Speaker 2: Look back at history. No, that didn't happen, did it. 472 00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:36,840 Speaker 3: Maybe exempt from or maybe you know, maybe maybe we're 473 00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:39,639 Speaker 3: just not as you know, touchy as we used to be. 474 00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:42,840 Speaker 3: Hopefully we're acting. Yeah, well that's I was going a 475 00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:44,280 Speaker 3: little more positive, but you said it. 476 00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:45,919 Speaker 1: I didn't. Brian Jays. 477 00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:47,840 Speaker 2: Thank you for joining the program every Monday to do 478 00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,840 Speaker 2: money Monday, look forward to next Monday, and another another 479 00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:52,399 Speaker 2: informative topic was in
