24
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 1: Catherine Calgary for our et F report. Gold is up

25
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 1: twenty one percent so far this year and it's trading

26
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 1: at its highest in four weeks on growing uncertainty over

27
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,960
Speaker 1: whether Britain will exit the European Union and caution ahead

28
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 1: of Central Bank meetings this week. The rally and gold

29
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 1: is reflected in interest in e t f s backed

30
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,039
Speaker 1: by the precious metal. The biggest, the Spider Gold Shares

31
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 1: or g l D, has attracted nearly ten billion dollars

32
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 1: since this start of the year. In contrast, e t

33
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 1: s that focus on gold mining companies have attracted far less.

34
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 1: On eighty million dollars has flowed into the Van Eck

35
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 1: Vector's Gold Miners e t F so far this year.

36
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 1: Here's Joe Foster, a portfolio manager at the The stocks

37
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 1: are performing very well. I mean our fund is up

38
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 1: over this year, whereas the gold price is up somewhere

39
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 1: around so they're performing very well, but we're just not

40
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: saying the flows into the gold stocks. I think this

41
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 1: rally caught the market off guard, and I think I

42
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 1: think what investors are looking for is a pullback or

43
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: some sort of a consolidation before they step into these equities.

44
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: Foster is calling this a new bowl market for gold

45
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:31,119
Speaker 1: that's in its early stages. That's your Bloomberg etf Force.

46
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 1: I'm Catherine Cowdery. You're listening to Taking Stock with Kathleen

47
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 1: Hayes and Pim Fox on Bloomberg Radio. Yes, stocks are

48
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 1: on track for their longest slide since February. And yes,

49
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:49,799
Speaker 1: more and more government bond yields are heading below zero today.

50
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 1: The big news the German bund the tenure note going

51
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 1: to a negative rate. So what do you do if

52
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 1: you're managing more than a half billion dollars worth of

53
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 1: money for investors? Let's ask Larry Rosenthal. He's president of

54
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:09,360
Speaker 1: Roseenthalt Wealth Management Group and he's joining us from Nassas,

55
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 1: Virginia today. Larry, welcome, Thank you for having me. How

56
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:16,359
Speaker 1: are you today? Just great? Uh, You've been in the

57
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 1: business for a long time. Did you ever think you'd

58
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 1: see a day when eleven trillion dollars worth of government

59
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:28,079
Speaker 1: bonds around the world had negative yields. Definitely not UM.

60
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 1: But that's sort of what's going on now, and it's

61
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 1: all a movement to create stimulus and economic UH, you

62
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 1: know movement the velocity of money UM. Savers are going

63
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 1: to continue to be punished and risk takers are going

64
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 1: to continue to be rewarded with volatility. But if the

65
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 1: banks aren't offering any incentive to park your money there

66
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: or government bonds to park your money there, then you're

67
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 1: gonna have to employ the dollars elsewhere, laury money. If

68
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 1: you could talk a little bit about employing those dollars elsewhere.

69
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 1: Do you find that investors are pile into just a

70
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 1: few names when it comes to stocks UM, your your yes,

71
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 1: I think your your household names are getting the majority

72
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 1: of that UH, And I do like different sectors UM

73
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 1: from a from a short term perspective and a long

74
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 1: term perspective. Let's take a look at the long term

75
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:25,559
Speaker 1: perspective first. For the long term standpoint, I like UH

76
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 1: some some dividend payers, large cap UH stocks with good

77
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:33,600
Speaker 1: balance sheets in this environment, as well as the sectors

78
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 1: of biotech and technology going forward. Short term, I'd be

79
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 1: cautious a little bit with your less popular names and

80
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:45,160
Speaker 1: names that have had lots of run up recently. Um,

81
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,599
Speaker 1: you know, the market is seeming is seeming to stall

82
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 1: a little bit, especially ahead of the Brexit conversation as

83
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:55,039
Speaker 1: well as the FED meetings UH this week. So little

84
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 1: caution short term, but I think in the long term

85
00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:59,600
Speaker 1: we're gonna be okay and push through this a little bit,

86
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 1: provide the investors have the appropriate balanced portfolio that they

87
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 1: need to accomplish their objectives and goals. And that's where

88
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,600
Speaker 1: some people get confused sometimes, is is looking at a

89
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 1: short term investment versus you know, like a trade versus

90
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 1: really investing to produce income for themselves in retirement or

91
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,280
Speaker 1: college funding or the case may be there. Yeah, and

92
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 1: this is very short term in terms of these big

93
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 1: picture questions. The FED meeting starts today, we get the

94
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 1: decision tomorrow, breggsit vote June. We'll see even if they

95
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 1: leave the you know, we'll see the volatility. We'll see

96
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 1: what happens. You just mentioned though, for example, technology for

97
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,159
Speaker 1: the long term, can you give us if you can't

98
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 1: give us a specific name that you are owning or recommending, Uh,

99
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 1: could you give us an example of the kind of

100
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,920
Speaker 1: tech company you're talking about, because there's you know, if

101
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 1: chip makers are tech, then Intel is very different from Microsoft,

102
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:53,479
Speaker 1: is pretty different from Facebook, I would agree. And when

103
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,920
Speaker 1: I talk tech, the first thing I think of is

104
00:05:56,040 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 1: how certain technology companies are changing the way you and

105
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:05,600
Speaker 1: I as individuals and businesses send and receive information. Uh,

106
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 1: not only domestically, but as well as around the world.

107
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 1: And the access to data, the efficiency of data is

108
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:16,720
Speaker 1: the areas that I'm really really talking about. We we like, uh,

109
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 1: the E T F space there to buy the whole

110
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 1: basket versus individual companies. We just think it's a rising

111
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 1: tide that's going to continue for several years down the

112
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:30,280
Speaker 1: road as people continue to increase their technology. I mean,

113
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:34,039
Speaker 1: just think about this. Just just imagine ten fifteen years

114
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:37,479
Speaker 1: ago going to a car dealership today and back then

115
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 1: and buying a car that's that comes pre fitted with WiFi.

116
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 1: Back then, we would have never understood that at all.

117
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 1: But yet now that's happening, and it's going to continue

118
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:48,839
Speaker 1: to happen. Technology is going to continue to change the

119
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 1: way we send and receive information. That's going to help

120
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:53,479
Speaker 1: businesses out it's going to help people out in the

121
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 1: healthcare sector as well, so it's gonna be well rounded.

122
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 1: I just want to pick up on something having to

123
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,720
Speaker 1: do with healthcare because at the end of the Affordable

124
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 1: Care Acts third open enrollment period, total enrollment was about

125
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 1: twelve point seven million individuals. This shows that enrollments are

126
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 1: falling in each successive period. Does that affect your call

127
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 1: on healthcare stocks? Not really, UM, the Affordable Care Act

128
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 1: is basically designed to get people ensured, get them into

129
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 1: the program. That's one scenario there that's different than what

130
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 1: I'm talking about. I'm talking about biotech, UM, advanced pharmaceuticals,

131
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 1: Alzheimer's research, cancer, hip replacement, knee replacement. That space is

132
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 1: designed to improve quality of life and extend quality of life.

133
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 1: So we're very specific when we go into the healthcare

134
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 1: space using some ets like that. I'd like to come

135
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 1: back to technology et s. Are you saying, then, if

136
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 1: you're looking at how information is transferred? Are you looking

137
00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 1: at ets that hold uh cloud? Uh? You know, enterprise

138
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 1: kind of service companies? Uh? What kind? Could you just

139
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 1: be a little more specific there? Again, tech is pretty broad.

140
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 1: Would you do something more more specialized or are you

141
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 1: just saying buy something it owns, you know, lots and

142
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 1: lots of different kinds of technology companies. Well that's a

143
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 1: great question. Let me give you the answer from a

144
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 1: financial planning perspective, if I may. We work with clients

145
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 1: that are close to are already retired, so we're building

146
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 1: and designing portfolios to accomplish their objectives at this point

147
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:35,080
Speaker 1: in life and down the road. So if we're if

148
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 1: we're liking the tech space, we may put them into

149
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 1: an e t F that buys the basket of technology. However,

150
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:44,079
Speaker 1: from on a case by case basis, we may then

151
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 1: go find a name if the stock looks to be

152
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 1: an appropriate buy at the particular time. But we just

153
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 1: like the entire space, along with the biotech space. Long term,

154
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 1: viewing it from the rising tide is going to lift

155
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 1: the whole all the boats in the harbor. All right.

156
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:02,199
Speaker 1: I noticed that you've been speaking about exchange traded funds.

157
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 1: Do you specialize justin exchange traded funds or would you

158
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 1: be willing to put money to work in individual stocks?

159
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:12,959
Speaker 1: We do both. We have active and passive mutual funds

160
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:16,080
Speaker 1: as well as ets and individual stocks inside of our

161
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:19,079
Speaker 1: portfolios for our clients depending on what their objectives are

162
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 1: and what we see in the marketplace. You know, it's

163
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 1: it's pretty easy to to uh buy some SMP five

164
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 1: stocks and e t F passive investment like that, uh

165
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 1: in the SMP five space. But when you start looking

166
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:39,679
Speaker 1: abroad at uh uh intermatt International emerging small company growth

167
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:42,839
Speaker 1: stocks there, you might want to employee active management in

168
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 1: a mutual fund versus something that's passive. So the further

169
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:50,560
Speaker 1: away it is from the center of the dartboard, the

170
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 1: more we would lean towards active management. How about income,

171
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:56,320
Speaker 1: If the ball market is kind of crazy right now,

172
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 1: how do you get income dive it mpairs it is,

173
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 1: I mean, we we look at it a few different ways.

174
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 1: UM dividend payers. We also like the middle of the

175
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 1: curve as far as the bond market goes right now,

176
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 1: UM publicly traded reats if you can put in some

177
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:18,200
Speaker 1: trailing stop losses just to limit volatility, and they're yielding

178
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:21,960
Speaker 1: very attractive numbers as well, So we do sort of

179
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,680
Speaker 1: a mixture between the two or three. They're depending on

180
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 1: the client's objectives as well. So you know, we are

181
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 1: definitely in a yield starved environment, so we need to

182
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 1: find quality bonds when it comes to that, and a

183
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 1: lot of bond ladders are being you know employed now

184
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:40,320
Speaker 1: in the investment world. Uh, you know, as far as

185
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:42,720
