So you have you 37 00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 1: put in ten thousand bucks, it's going to go to charity. 38 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:01,680 Speaker 1: It's gonna seventy five percent is going to go to 39 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:04,440 Speaker 1: robin Hood to help the least among us in New 40 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 1: York City, which sadly has twice the national poverty rate. 41 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:11,920 Speaker 1: And I think we've all got a vested interest in 42 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:15,519 Speaker 1: making sure New York not just survives but thrives. Because 43 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 1: obviously Wall Street, which is the I guess the reason 44 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,799 Speaker 1: for so much financial wealth that all your viewers have 45 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:25,640 Speaker 1: is something that we need to be able to in 46 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:29,240 Speaker 1: New York City have again a thriving city, because the 47 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:32,280 Speaker 1: most important city in this country has got to always succeed. 48 00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:32,639 Speaker 3: Yeah. 49 00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 2: I mean you have raised I think three billion dollars 50 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:39,480 Speaker 2: over the time since you founded robin Hood for fighting 51 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:41,839 Speaker 2: poverty in New York. I want to ask about Wall 52 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 2: Street and specifically about this equity market. I do watch 53 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:51,080 Speaker 2: our competition, and I saw your interview with Andrew last week. 54 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 3: You said this is like October of nineteen ninety nine. 55 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 2: But after that, as you pointed out, you know, the 56 00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,440 Speaker 2: stock market doubled. We had a drop in October, like 57 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:01,960 Speaker 2: an eleven cent inter day drop, but then the stock 58 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,800 Speaker 2: market doubled to March of two thousand. Are we still 59 00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:07,840 Speaker 2: in line for a doubling of this market? 60 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:12,480 Speaker 1: Well, it's so funny because you had mentioned that fifty 61 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 1: four percent of fund managers think that we're in an 62 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:16,360 Speaker 1: AI bubble. 63 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:19,920 Speaker 4: If it's a bubble, it's it's a small one. 64 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 1: If you just think about and again, how do you 65 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,359 Speaker 1: actually define bubbles? If you think about the bubbles of 66 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 1: the past three or four decades, the nikkiing eighty nine, 67 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:34,520 Speaker 1: nasdek of ninety nine, Biotech two thousand and just after 68 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:38,760 Speaker 1: twenty eleven, twelve, China two thousand and seven. All those 69 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 1: were four to six hundred percent gains. The Nasdaq's up 70 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 1: two hundred percent off the bottom. So I don't know 71 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 1: whether we're going to blow off like we did in 72 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 1: nineteen ninety nine. Is it possible or all the ingredients 73 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,600 Speaker 1: in place, I think clearly they are. 74 00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 4: For me. 75 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:03,240 Speaker 1: The one thing that you can never ever forget is 76 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 1: that a year from today, assuming that the President gets 77 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:10,600 Speaker 1: his wishes, that the FED funds rates can probably be 78 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 1: and then two and a half. You know, I think 79 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:16,400 Speaker 1: they're I think they would like to see that two 80 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:18,880 Speaker 1: and a quarter. So I think two and a half, 81 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,800 Speaker 1: two seventy five. Obviously, whoever the new FED chair is 82 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:26,320 Speaker 1: going to have to be able to intellectually move that board. 83 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,120 Speaker 1: A majority of the board, he's probably whoever the new 84 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,840 Speaker 1: FED chair, Let's say they've got six solid votes, so 85 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,679 Speaker 1: he'll have to find one more. 86 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:36,840 Speaker 4: And I don't think it'll be that hard to do. 87 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 1: But if you're going to have two and a half 88 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:43,719 Speaker 1: percent overnight rates or two seventy five, that's a really 89 00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,840 Speaker 1: compelling story for higher equity prices. 90 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:47,920 Speaker 3: Well, not just that. 91 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 2: I mean you've got Neil Casar on our opinion team 92 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 2: yesterday laid out the argument that this is not the 93 00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,600 Speaker 2: same as nineteen ninety nine because these companies are so profitable. Right, 94 00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:58,520 Speaker 2: ninety five percent of the S and P five hundred 95 00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,560 Speaker 2: is expected to post innings growth next year, and the 96 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:04,719 Speaker 2: average earnings growth is sixteen percent. It's obviously a lot 97 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 2: more for the mag seven or the Great eight. Plus, 98 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:10,680 Speaker 2: you don't have the same kind of leverage that you 99 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 2: had back then. You have less than one hundred percent 100 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,159 Speaker 2: debt to equity, and in nineteen ninety nine it was 101 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:15,800 Speaker 2: more than double that. 102 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:16,880 Speaker 4: Right. 103 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,280 Speaker 1: Well, the only thing I'd say is I don't think 104 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:23,520 Speaker 1: you've got the leverage necessarily in the corporate balance sheetshet 105 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:28,280 Speaker 1: you clearly have leverage within the equity ecosystem, And by 106 00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:32,119 Speaker 1: that I mean you just had a proliferation and explosion 107 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:36,360 Speaker 1: in derivative products. I want to say that lebty tfs 108 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,039 Speaker 1: are of two hundred and fifty percent since the twenty 109 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 1: twenty two bottom, and I want to say that there's 110 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 1: four or five hundred, with another another couple one hundred 111 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 1: in the pipeline. So you're clearly creating derivative leverage. Whether 112 00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,640 Speaker 1: it's in the options market, we see single stock options. 113 00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:00,080 Speaker 1: We just see options activity exploding. 114 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:01,800 Speaker 4: Everywhere you look. 115 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:07,240 Speaker 1: There's greater leverage again in the equity infrastructure. 116 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:11,240 Speaker 4: For what has become a really trader nation. 117 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 1: We have the highest percentage equity holdings by individuals in history. 118 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 1: We have again more levered activity. You don't see it 119 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 1: in margin debt because margin debt is actually an old, 120 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 1: anachronistic tool. 121 00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:27,560 Speaker 4: You see it more so. 122 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 1: In the options markets. You see it more so in 123 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:37,560 Speaker 1: the Lebrety ETFs. So it's somewhere down the road a 124 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:41,000 Speaker 1: little similar. I don't think we're there yet, but somewhere 125 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,800 Speaker 1: down the road there's gonna be There're gonna be some 126 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:47,080 Speaker 1: there're gonna be some real issues with that. 127 00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 2: Nonetheless, you're long now, right, I mean, at least last 128 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 2: time we spoke to you in June, you said your 129 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 2: portfolio would be long stocks. You said you'd be long gold, 130 00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:01,480 Speaker 2: you said you'd be long bitcoin, and those have been 131 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:02,039 Speaker 2: great picks. 132 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:03,000 Speaker 3: Check out this chart. 133 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:08,080 Speaker 2: Right, gold alone is a twenty two percent gain, but 134 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:10,120 Speaker 2: all of them are well above zero. 135 00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 3: Do you hold onto that portfolio. 136 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:19,000 Speaker 1: So I would take them one by one. I think 137 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 1: for stocks, the critical time is going to be the 138 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 1: last week here in October and when we see the 139 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:30,160 Speaker 1: big tech earnings as well as by that point in 140 00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 1: time will have greater clarity on the resolution. 141 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:35,040 Speaker 4: Of the US China conflict. 142 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:40,280 Speaker 1: I would think that if the Nasdaq is higher going 143 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:44,080 Speaker 1: into early November, then you've got a chance for a 144 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:48,120 Speaker 1: real ramp in the last two months. What happens between 145 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:51,280 Speaker 1: now and then, I kind of think the market's going 146 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:54,560 Speaker 1: to be the defensive until we get to that's going 147 00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:58,440 Speaker 1: to be a intersection of just so many really really 148 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 1: important data points, so that's going to be a critical time. 149 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,680 Speaker 1: They also have a FED meeting that week, so I 150 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:09,560 Speaker 1: would think, you know, my prior is that it will 151 00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:13,000 Speaker 1: resolve to the upside. We'll focus on where FED funds 152 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:15,440 Speaker 1: will be. The market will look ahead six to nine 153 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:21,120 Speaker 1: months and focus on that. Bitcoin gold are interesting. They're 154 00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:24,200 Speaker 1: interesting as a pair in the sense that if I 155 00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:28,200 Speaker 1: just look at since Liberation Day, you've had about forty 156 00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:34,160 Speaker 1: billion dollars of inflows into a combination of bitcoin and 157 00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:37,720 Speaker 1: theory metfs, and you've had a like amount of inflows 158 00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:39,880 Speaker 1: into the combination of gold and silver. 159 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:42,040 Speaker 4: But if you think. 160 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:47,079 Speaker 1: About it, the VALL adjusted forty billion that goes into 161 00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:51,480 Speaker 1: bitcoin because it's got had, say five six times the 162 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,240 Speaker 1: VALL of gold was really. 163 00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 4: A much much bigger. 164 00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 1: Bet on crypto than it was on precious metals. 165 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:00,959 Speaker 4: And yet. 166 00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:06,120 Speaker 1: Gold has outperformed Bitcoin since that period in time. So 167 00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:13,400 Speaker 1: clearly retail has made a mistake in terms of trying 168 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,640 Speaker 1: to figure out which of the two debasement trades were 169 00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:20,320 Speaker 1: going to outperform. And I have to admit, until a 170 00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:22,960 Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago, I thought bitcoin digital goal was 171 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:27,880 Speaker 1: going to outperform again the historic stores of value. I 172 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 1: think they're both probably still good. But my guess is, 173 00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:34,400 Speaker 1: again we're here in the fourth quarter momentum into the 174 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:37,720 Speaker 1: end of the year that of those two it appears 175 00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:42,679 Speaker 1: that gold and silver are going to outperform crypto. You know, 176 00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:45,200 Speaker 1: I'm always going to be a trend trader. I'm always 177 00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:50,040 Speaker 1: going to follow the momentum, and I'm not going to 178 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:53,280 Speaker 1: be so prideful that I'm going to try to outguess 179 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:54,480 Speaker 1: what the market's telling me. 180 00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:58,199 Speaker 2: But you do think that we continue to see infleetion 181 00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:02,160 Speaker 2: Because I've been talking to Neil Dudda from Renaissance Macker. 182 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:06,200 Speaker 2: He's pushing back on this. He says inflation hawks need 183 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:09,480 Speaker 2: to seek help. But his main point, I think is 184 00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:13,000 Speaker 2: that housing, that the shelter component is going to come down. 185 00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,839 Speaker 2: And he said a note last week housing prices are 186 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,920 Speaker 2: likely declining. The fact that home buyer demand has declined 187 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:23,319 Speaker 2: even as rates have dropped suggests that a deflationary psychology 188 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:25,080 Speaker 2: has infected the housing market. 189 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:31,079 Speaker 1: By that, I think, I'm probably looking past current conditions 190 00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:35,480 Speaker 1: and I'm just thinking about the future. And we're we're 191 00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:42,840 Speaker 1: in a fiscally constrained time. So why is it that 192 00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:48,080 Speaker 1: the president is hell bent on finding a fed share 193 00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:51,120 Speaker 1: that's going to have easy money. Because the only way 194 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:54,240 Speaker 1: that we can reduce our debt to GDP, that you 195 00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:56,800 Speaker 1: could even begin to deal with a six percent budget 196 00:10:56,800 --> 00:11:00,319 Speaker 1: deficit is to have the lowest funds rates you can 197 00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:03,600 Speaker 1: possibly have, to lower your interest costs to stimulate growth, 198 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:06,640 Speaker 1: et cetera. The only way to reduce that the GDP 199 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:10,000 Speaker 1: is to have obviously nominal growth exceed your interest rate. 200 00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:17,200 Speaker 1: So in a situation like that, particularly given where we 201 00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:20,199 Speaker 1: are in this economic cycle where we are now, it's 202 00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 1: just hard not to see and I think this is 203 00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:26,920 Speaker 1: what the market's looking ahead to see inflation not be 204 00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 1: rekindled and start up again six twelve in a more 205 00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:35,120 Speaker 1: serious fashion eighteen months. 206 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:36,240 Speaker 4: Hence you can kind. 207 00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:40,680 Speaker 1: Of see it now. It's again think of this. We 208 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:46,199 Speaker 1: have three hundred and seventy trillion dollars worth of global 209 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:47,600 Speaker 1: financial assets. 210 00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:49,400 Speaker 4: Three hundred and seventy trillion. 211 00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:53,200 Speaker 1: So when you come to a market like goal, which 212 00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:59,160 Speaker 1: is twelve trillion silver, which is, oh my lord, a 213 00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:02,520 Speaker 1: fraction of that bitcoin crypto, which is say two to 214 00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:07,520 Speaker 1: three trillion, it doesn't take very much. Then you start 215 00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:10,040 Speaker 1: thinking about the copper markets and some of the other 216 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:14,320 Speaker 1: rare earth minerals, and you think about just individual commodities. 217 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:20,319 Speaker 1: Good gosh, the ability to elevate those prices. Because we 218 00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:24,080 Speaker 1: have so much again money and financial assets, it just 219 00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:29,200 Speaker 1: takes a small tweak to really begin to create a 220 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:31,360 Speaker 1: rise in the price level. And I think we'll see 221 00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:35,640 Speaker 1: that assuming that we have a new FED chair who's 222 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:38,800 Speaker 1: going to take the funds rate down to two and 223 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:41,960 Speaker 1: a half percent, and I think the White House is 224 00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,240 Speaker 1: thinking they'd like to see the funds rate at two 225 00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:45,600 Speaker 1: and a quarter to two and a half. 226 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:49,240 Speaker 2: Will we see a significant dropping the dollar from that 227 00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:52,520 Speaker 2: because we had seen right in the first half, the 228 00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:55,640 Speaker 2: biggest drop for the dollars since nineteen seventy three, that's 229 00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:58,000 Speaker 2: the year I was born, so a long time. 230 00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:00,600 Speaker 3: Ago, but we're obeyed, but we have. 231 00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:05,079 Speaker 2: But we have recently seen the dollar recovering, showing a 232 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:07,000 Speaker 2: little bit of strength here as people look for I 233 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:08,040 Speaker 2: think safe haven in that. 234 00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:12,800 Speaker 1: Well, look, you've got a you've got an FX, you've 235 00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:16,040 Speaker 1: got to you've got a fiat money debasement going on 236 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:18,920 Speaker 1: pretty much virtually around the world. 237 00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:19,280 Speaker 4: Right. 238 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:23,680 Speaker 1: The bond vigilantes, though, are being held in check by 239 00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:30,880 Speaker 1: again central banks and populism that are pushing central bankers 240 00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:36,800 Speaker 1: to run hot. So the the currency debasement trade has 241 00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:42,600 Speaker 1: really turned into a gold trade and a crypto trade. Right, 242 00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:46,920 Speaker 1: Bond vigilantes have been have been shunted to the back, 243 00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:50,800 Speaker 1: told or been put in abeyance, and instead it's manifesting 244 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:53,079 Speaker 1: itself in gold and crypto. 245 00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:54,920 Speaker 4: That's really what's going on. 246 00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:59,120 Speaker 1: So uh again, look at the new Prime Issu of Japan, 247 00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:03,679 Speaker 1: she's all read advocating for the boj to go slow 248 00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:07,680 Speaker 1: on normalizing rates. You can't make it up. They got 249 00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:11,000 Speaker 1: they've gotten negative, they've got negative one and a half percent, 250 00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:13,800 Speaker 1: and it's almost like they just want to deny that 251 00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:18,080 Speaker 1: they have an inflation problem. But so that's what we're seeing. 252 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:22,840 Speaker 1: And again, at some point in time, at some point 253 00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:26,960 Speaker 1: in time, we're going to have some precipitous moments in 254 00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:30,760 Speaker 1: sovereign debt markets. I don't know whether it's Japanese bond market, 255 00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:33,320 Speaker 1: the US bond market, but we're going to have some 256 00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:38,160 Speaker 1: precipitous times. And if you just think about we had, 257 00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:40,800 Speaker 1: we're not even close to that yet. We're not even 258 00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:44,480 Speaker 1: close to that trust moment we had three years ago 259 00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:47,560 Speaker 1: where the currency was under attack, the stock market, the 260 00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:51,400 Speaker 1: bond market was under attack. Just imagine if and when 261 00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:53,720 Speaker 1: we get to that day, which I think with six 262 00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:57,440 Speaker 1: percent budget deficits in the US, that day will come. 263 00:14:57,880 --> 00:14:59,840 Speaker 4: Just imagine what. 264 00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:03,760 Speaker 1: Gold and crypto for that matter of the dollar, imagine 265 00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:07,280 Speaker 1: what they're all doing. We're in good times now, right, 266 00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:10,240 Speaker 1: even with a shutdown. Yea, even with the shutdown, we're 267 00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:11,200 Speaker 1: in good times now. 268 00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:12,880 Speaker 3: I wonder what you think about that. 269 00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:15,360 Speaker 2: You mentioned rare Earth's and even we can't inflate our 270 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:17,600 Speaker 2: way out of that problem, right, JD. Van said, we 271 00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:20,000 Speaker 2: have the cards, but it seems to me China has 272 00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:22,640 Speaker 2: us between a rock and a hard place. Mereth Whitney 273 00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:26,000 Speaker 2: put out a note on Sunday and she says, you know, 274 00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:29,560 Speaker 2: don't bother being distracted by one hundred percent additional tariffs 275 00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:32,920 Speaker 2: that President Trump was talking about, because aside from the 276 00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:36,920 Speaker 2: massive dependence on the US industrial complex for these rare 277 00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:40,080 Speaker 2: earth minerals and magnets, the US military is one hundred 278 00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:41,400 Speaker 2: percent dependent on them and is. 279 00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:45,640 Speaker 3: Nearly depleted of its reserves. What can we do about that? 280 00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:48,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm sorry, I don't have a good answer for 281 00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:48,440 Speaker 1: that one. 282 00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:49,200 Speaker 4: I wish I did. 283 00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:57,080 Speaker 1: I really I don't envying Trump in his cabinet trying 284 00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:00,680 Speaker 1: to figure out what's going to happen here in two weeks. 285 00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:01,400 Speaker 4: I really don't. 286 00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:05,720 Speaker 2: I just think of the strategy that it looks like 287 00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:06,600 Speaker 2: the White House is falling. 288 00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:06,840 Speaker 3: Right. 289 00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:09,120 Speaker 2: They take a steak in MP materials, they take a 290 00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:14,720 Speaker 2: steak in lithium Americas. They're trying to ramp up mining 291 00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:16,800 Speaker 2: so they can produce these things, and at the same 292 00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:19,760 Speaker 2: time they're taking steaks in private companies. How do you 293 00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:22,479 Speaker 2: feel about that? As a long term free market capitalist? 294 00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:25,280 Speaker 2: The US government getting in and picking winners and losers. 295 00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:27,200 Speaker 4: I'm not in favor of that. 296 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:32,760 Speaker 1: And again, the reason why is it's the same reason 297 00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:37,200 Speaker 1: my concerns are. I see concentration risk everywhere. 298 00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:37,640 Speaker 4: I'll look. 299 00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:42,240 Speaker 1: Well, now we have individual investors with the highest equity 300 00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:46,120 Speaker 1: allocation they've ever had in the history of the United States, 301 00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:51,760 Speaker 1: really four times that of the rest of the developed world. 302 00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:55,840 Speaker 1: So I get nervous about that concentration. I get nervous 303 00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:59,040 Speaker 1: about the fact that we have thirty five percent of 304 00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:02,920 Speaker 1: the SMP's now concentrating the seven stocks. I get nervous 305 00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:07,800 Speaker 1: about the fact that this administration, even if all those decisions. 306 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:09,040 Speaker 4: Were smart and correct. 307 00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:13,800 Speaker 1: Again, if you just think about the number one rule 308 00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:19,000 Speaker 1: of portfolio of portfolio management is you want diversification. That's 309 00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:22,879 Speaker 1: why our founding fathers create us as a democracy, not 310 00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:28,199 Speaker 1: a monarchy, because you want that contestation of ideas. So 311 00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:36,000 Speaker 1: I'm nervous when I see concentration. 312 00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:37,720 Speaker 4: Virtually in anything. 313 00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:39,919 Speaker 1: Again, whether it's in the stock market, whether it's the 314 00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:42,399 Speaker 1: composition of the stock market, who owns the stock market, 315 00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:46,000 Speaker 1: or the decision making that's getting made in Washington. It 316 00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:49,680 Speaker 1: makes me nervous because I don't think in the long run, right, 317 00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:53,280 Speaker 1: even if all the decisions that President Trump making are great? 318 00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:55,560 Speaker 1: Is that going to embolden the next president who may 319 00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:58,359 Speaker 1: not make as good as decisions to do the same thing. 320 00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:04,000 Speaker 1: So I'll look, I'll look at that, and again it 321 00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:05,560 Speaker 1: raises caution flags. 322 00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:08,240 Speaker 2: But you're still you're still long stocks right now, You're 323 00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:09,920 Speaker 2: still long the Nasdaq. 324 00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:14,159 Speaker 1: I am. I wouldn't say I'm long at this second. 325 00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:19,159 Speaker 1: I'm clearly again, I think there's such a confluence of 326 00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:23,840 Speaker 1: possibly negative, possibly positive events. I think I want to 327 00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:26,280 Speaker 1: kind of wait and see where we are and in 328 00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:30,439 Speaker 1: a week or two times, but my belief is that 329 00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:33,040 Speaker 1: we'll be substantially hired by the end of the year. 330 00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:36,359 Speaker 2: All right, So just to end on where we started 331 00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:39,520 Speaker 2: with the pick a ticker contest for Robinhood, I asked 332 00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:41,560 Speaker 2: you last time, and I'll ask you again. 333 00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:45,320 Speaker 3: For players at home. Yeah, what tips would you give us? 334 00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:46,200 Speaker 3: What would you put? 335 00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:51,159 Speaker 1: I'll probably so, I think it's going to begin November one, 336 00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:53,639 Speaker 1: I'm sure I'll probably be long. The Nasdaq will be 337 00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:56,920 Speaker 1: my long remember. 338 00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,280 Speaker 4: You See, it's really interesting because. 339 00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:05,240 Speaker 1: The last twelve months of a bull market typically you 340 00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:07,880 Speaker 1: double the annual gains up until. 341 00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:10,600 Speaker 4: That point in time.
