1 00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:09,600 Speaker 1: Ifiko boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom ah 2 00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:13,480 Speaker 1: pies boom boom boom boom boom boom boom. 3 00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:17,160 Speaker 2: The newly elected president, even before he was sworn in, 4 00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:22,599 Speaker 2: threatened to take over Greenland, recapture the Panama Canal, and 5 00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:26,680 Speaker 2: to make Canada the fifty first state. I'm Barry Riddolts, 6 00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:29,600 Speaker 2: and on today's edition of At the Money, we're going 7 00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:34,520 Speaker 2: to discuss whether the saber rattling has implications for your portfolio. 8 00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:38,040 Speaker 2: To help us understand all of this and its implications 9 00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:41,800 Speaker 2: for your portfolio, let's bring in Jeff Hirsh, editor in 10 00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:45,920 Speaker 2: chief of Stock Trader's Almanac, an author of twenty eleven's 11 00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,519 Speaker 2: super Boom, Why the Dow Jones will hit thirty eight 12 00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:53,360 Speaker 2: eight twenty and how you can profit from it and 13 00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:56,800 Speaker 2: full disclosure. Jeff wrote a piece I want to say 14 00:00:56,840 --> 00:01:00,400 Speaker 2: it was like twenty ten, talking about the upcoming super 15 00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:04,840 Speaker 2: boom driven by the combination of war and inflation, and 16 00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:08,680 Speaker 2: basically said the data suggests we should hit thirty nine 17 00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:12,560 Speaker 2: thousand by twenty twenty five. And I called him out 18 00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:15,959 Speaker 2: on this nonsense. This is the single craziest thing I 19 00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:18,600 Speaker 2: had and by the time you and I finished that 20 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:23,480 Speaker 2: conversation and you showed me that data was overwhelming. Not 21 00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:27,920 Speaker 2: only did I you convince me, but I wrote the 22 00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,039 Speaker 2: forward to that book that ended up coming out in 23 00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:35,840 Speaker 2: twenty eleven. So let's discuss what war plus inflation means. 24 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:40,000 Speaker 2: In the late nineteen seventies, your dad very famously said 25 00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:44,040 Speaker 2: the combination of the Vietnam War and the oil embargo 26 00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:46,680 Speaker 2: driven inflation was going to lead to a five hundred 27 00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:50,200 Speaker 2: percent bull market, which kind of shocked everybody when he 28 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:53,360 Speaker 2: came out with it. But that analysis turned out to 29 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,560 Speaker 2: be exactly right. Explain the thinking behind this. 30 00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:59,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, we've still got some of the old thirty four 31 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,160 Speaker 1: to twenty T shirt. It's now thirty four to twenty 32 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:04,520 Speaker 1: T shirts, But yeah, that's right. In seventy six, founder 33 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,760 Speaker 1: of the Almanac, my late great father Yalehurst, discovered this 34 00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:12,519 Speaker 1: amazing perennial pattern and how this phenomenon is based upon 35 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:16,360 Speaker 1: the exorbitant governance spending creates high inflation, and how the 36 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 1: subsequent decline of purchasing power of the dollar drives the 37 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 1: market to incredul this new heights. You yourself, you know, 38 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:27,960 Speaker 1: were incredulous at the time. Cycles based on the previous 39 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:31,240 Speaker 1: moves from from World War One, World War two, and Vietnam, 40 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:35,080 Speaker 1: which is what Yale was keying on and the associated 41 00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 1: massive government spending and the inflation caused by it. 42 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:42,119 Speaker 2: And then the subsequent version that you were writing about 43 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:48,440 Speaker 2: was Iraq and Afghanistan. And there was some surges of 44 00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 2: inflation during the financial crisis kind of eased back when 45 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:57,960 Speaker 2: when the FED took rates down to zero. Tell us 46 00:02:58,000 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 2: a little bit about what you were looking at in 47 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 2: ten that said, hey, we get to thirty nine thousand 48 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:04,440 Speaker 2: in fifteen years. 49 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:08,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, I remember, you know what, I remember your actual post. 50 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 1: I think the headline was WTF. 51 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 2: That's right, that's right. We were about ten thousand on 52 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 2: the Dow at that time. You were calling for going 53 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:20,239 Speaker 2: from ten to almost forty. It felt like it was ridiculous. 54 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:25,080 Speaker 1: I mean, we had Yale's work behind us. That amazing 55 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,240 Speaker 1: chart that that I redid of his where it shows 56 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 1: the you know, it's the log chart of the Dow 57 00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,360 Speaker 1: which shows the inflation, the CPI and the moves. 58 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 3: I mean, there's there was some you. 59 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 1: Know, people talk about these cycles with you know, the 60 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:40,160 Speaker 1: seventeen and a half year, the eighteen year sixty What 61 00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 1: did they talk about these sort of arbitrary lengths of time. 62 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 1: We looked at it, and what Yale discovered was that 63 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 1: these events in history that create these these cycles, like 64 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 1: Archduke Ferdinand getting assassinated in nineteen fourteen, the Germany sign 65 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 1: of the Armistice in twenty eighteen, the Gulf of Tonkin 66 00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 1: resolution in sixty four, Saigon falling into seventy five, and 67 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,200 Speaker 1: then for us currently, what we were seeing, what we 68 00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 1: were seeing at twenty ten was this development of after 69 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 1: nine to eleven, which was an act of war, and 70 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:14,160 Speaker 1: ahead of the time we were looking, we had already 71 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 1: gone into to Afghanistan. We were the whole saber rattling. 72 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:20,479 Speaker 1: There was a bye bye vibe we put out in 73 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 1: twenty two when. 74 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:22,800 Speaker 3: We in O two. 75 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,720 Speaker 1: Excuse me when we went in there, But we were 76 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:30,440 Speaker 1: looking for the end of this huge military involvement overseas. 77 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,160 Speaker 1: US boots on the ground in massive numbers is what 78 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:38,240 Speaker 1: created this pattern, or initially created it, and we were 79 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:42,800 Speaker 1: looking for the end of the combat, you know, in Afghanistan, 80 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:46,160 Speaker 1: to sort of spark the end of the war, end 81 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:49,520 Speaker 1: of the secular bear market, and the beginning. 82 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:51,839 Speaker 3: Of the of the boom, and I think we. 83 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:55,120 Speaker 1: All kind of have looked back little heinsins around twenty thirteen. 84 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,320 Speaker 1: I think that little bear market bottom in fifteen and 85 00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 1: sixteen kind of you know, signifies the end of that 86 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:05,200 Speaker 1: secular bear not the ultimate bottom. I mean, we don't 87 00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 1: measure the secular bear market from seventy four to two thousand, 88 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:10,720 Speaker 1: measure eighty two. 89 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 2: Right, that was the new highs that were set, and 90 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 2: arguably this cycle new heis was set in twenty thirteen 91 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:22,320 Speaker 2: that eclipsed seven and two thousand. So I recall early 92 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:27,119 Speaker 2: on in the COVID crisis and the first CARES Act, 93 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:31,280 Speaker 2: and I read a fascinating analysis that pointed out the 94 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:35,719 Speaker 2: fiscal stimulus of CARES Act one and two was about 95 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,560 Speaker 2: ten percent of GDP. I think was just Kars Act 96 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:42,080 Speaker 2: one about ten percent of GDP. You had to go 97 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:44,360 Speaker 2: all the way back to World War II, and then 98 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 2: after that the Marshall Plan to see ten percent of 99 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 2: GDP as of fiscal stimulus, And I wonder how that 100 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:57,840 Speaker 2: equates to the equivalent of war plus the obvious subsequent 101 00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 2: inflation we experienced in one twenty three is the quote 102 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,560 Speaker 2: unquote war on COVID very parallel to what we've seen 103 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 2: in the past. 104 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:10,040 Speaker 1: One hundred percent very parallel and and that's something we've 105 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:13,520 Speaker 1: spoken about. And it's it's really about overall federal spending. 106 00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,159 Speaker 1: I mean, the evolution of this pattern of federal spending. 107 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,679 Speaker 1: It's not just war but spikes like you just mentioned 108 00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:21,839 Speaker 1: in federal spending like we had in COVID where it 109 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:25,480 Speaker 1: goes above trend. I mean this probably started to change 110 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,840 Speaker 1: a little bit going back to FDR with the New 111 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,560 Speaker 1: Deal ahead of World War Two, and then the federal 112 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:32,400 Speaker 1: highway you. 113 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:34,159 Speaker 2: Know, spending the state highway system. 114 00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:39,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, that continued after World War Two. So it's it's 115 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 1: really about you know, past federal spending driven by war 116 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 1: conflicts and you know, but spending outside of the normal 117 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 1: budget and COVID and the you know, Inflation Reduction Act, 118 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:54,480 Speaker 1: the CARES Act are prime examples of massive government spending 119 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:56,640 Speaker 1: driving inflation and superbooms. 120 00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:01,280 Speaker 2: So it's a new era, it's a new presidency. There 121 00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:07,320 Speaker 2: has been emphasis on things like military spending, energy production, 122 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 2: spacel like exploration. Uh, they're carrying over the previous emphasis 123 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:17,640 Speaker 2: on AI and data center builds. How do you look 124 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,960 Speaker 2: at that? How does federal policy and spending in those 125 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:25,840 Speaker 2: areas seem parallel to pass military spendings. How does that 126 00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 2: affect your projections? 127 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 1: I mean it's quite parallel, but it's part of my projections. 128 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 1: I mean, we've updated our super forecast. I think we've 129 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,840 Speaker 1: got some further upside to you know, sixty two thousand 130 00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 1: and change, which I've written about probably by you know, 131 00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,920 Speaker 1: average ten percent game of year, probably by twenty thirty. 132 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,560 Speaker 1: And that's all now based because it was what starts on. 133 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:51,120 Speaker 1: But right now, you know, it's about tech. It's all 134 00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 1: about tech. Ukraine and Israel have shown us and proven 135 00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:58,160 Speaker 1: that the conflict is all about tech. Now, got drones 136 00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:02,320 Speaker 1: and cyber wars. You know, i'd expect the US military 137 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:06,760 Speaker 1: to be spending and ramping up tech. So all that 138 00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 1: military spending you may find its way into technology. I mean, 139 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:12,640 Speaker 1: let's call it defense tech. 140 00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:16,680 Speaker 2: And you see that in companies like Pallenteer and Lockheed 141 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:22,320 Speaker 2: not just drones but single jamming and there's just an endless. 142 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:23,720 Speaker 3: Array of security. 143 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's clearly causing a big boom and fiscal spending. 144 00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:36,200 Speaker 2: But let's bring this back to the newly elected president Trump. Canada, Greenland, Panama, Canada. 145 00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 2: I keep I can't believe we're talking about Canada take off, 146 00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:45,040 Speaker 2: so that sort of saber rattling. Do you need a 147 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:48,400 Speaker 2: hot war for the same thing to take effect or 148 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:52,400 Speaker 2: do you just need the government's fiscal spending and the 149 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,640 Speaker 2: threat of war to lead this to the same sort 150 00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:55,120 Speaker 2: of cycle. 151 00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:58,199 Speaker 1: I think it's not so much the threat of war. 152 00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:01,640 Speaker 1: It's overall federal spending and you know, saber rattling. Yet 153 00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:05,960 Speaker 1: it's saber rattling. You know, I'm not convinced anything is 154 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,439 Speaker 1: going to happen there per se, But it's really about 155 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:10,280 Speaker 1: the spending in general. And if we're going to be 156 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:15,719 Speaker 1: doing deals with Greenland, UH for security and raw materials 157 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:19,120 Speaker 1: that would be beneficial. We've got you know, China doing 158 00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:22,600 Speaker 1: deals in Africa and around the world. There's there's there's 159 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:26,720 Speaker 1: definitely a new push for for global you know, security 160 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:30,160 Speaker 1: and global dominance, and we've got to play in that field. 161 00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:33,080 Speaker 1: And and Trump's kind of showing doing a show of strength, 162 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,440 Speaker 1: but he's a deal maker. Whether you know you like 163 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:38,160 Speaker 1: the man or not, or voted for him or not, 164 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:40,760 Speaker 1: He's going to try to do everything in his power 165 00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:44,640 Speaker 1: to leave a legacy, like we spoke about previously, of 166 00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:50,120 Speaker 1: you know, a prosperous economy, a raging bull market, and 167 00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:52,880 Speaker 1: you know, global peace and security is what he's going 168 00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:56,160 Speaker 1: to try to do, and that's going to help our economy. 169 00:09:56,720 --> 00:10:01,240 Speaker 1: All the spending, whether it's stargate or military otherwise, is 170 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:06,439 Speaker 1: going to create jobs and keep the economy going. I mean, uh, 171 00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:08,880 Speaker 1: it's really all about the economy, is Jim Carvel likes 172 00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:09,480 Speaker 1: to say. 173 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:11,880 Speaker 2: It's the economy stupid? Of course. So so let's look 174 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:15,880 Speaker 2: at sectors. We've mentioned defense, what about energy? What about 175 00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:21,720 Speaker 2: consumer staples? Is there any specific sector effect to this 176 00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:24,959 Speaker 2: warplus inflation long term cycle. 177 00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:27,600 Speaker 3: I think it's tech. I really think it's too tech. 178 00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:33,640 Speaker 1: I mean you're talking about uh, you know, drones, robotics, 179 00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:37,600 Speaker 1: AI energy for sure, because we've got to power everything. 180 00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:44,240 Speaker 1: I actually currently have a position in the gas and energy. Uh, 181 00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:47,400 Speaker 1: you know, explorers and producers, the the equipment people there, 182 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,199 Speaker 1: the x C S XOLE is the seasonal trading for 183 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:50,839 Speaker 1: us as well. 184 00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:52,119 Speaker 3: I'm not sure. 185 00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:57,520 Speaker 1: Staples is the uh the place to be, but you know, uh, 186 00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:00,760 Speaker 1: general retail and buying a thing is up. But I 187 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:04,560 Speaker 1: think energy and tech and all this new technology that 188 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:08,240 Speaker 1: is that we're fighting wars with that we're operating everything 189 00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:09,560 Speaker 1: on is where it's at. 190 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,240 Speaker 3: I mean, you got to own the cues basically. 191 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:17,079 Speaker 2: Right the cues. There's a black rock ETF run by 192 00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:20,160 Speaker 2: the guy who's run their technology group for a long time. 193 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:24,640 Speaker 2: I want to say it's their Artificial intelligence ETF. The 194 00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:28,160 Speaker 2: symbol is b AI, and I don't know, some crazy 195 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:31,840 Speaker 2: chunk of it is in Nvidia, Microsoft and then everybody 196 00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:34,079 Speaker 2: else in that space. And it's sort of like a 197 00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:36,760 Speaker 2: cues on steroids. It's like two XQUS. 198 00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:38,520 Speaker 3: And then there's the healthcare AI. 199 00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:42,800 Speaker 1: We just heard you know, Allman and Ellison talking about it, 200 00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:44,800 Speaker 1: you know, in the White House with Trump there. 201 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:46,320 Speaker 3: It's hopefully it'll help. 202 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:50,079 Speaker 2: Us Sam Allman from Open AI and Larry Ellison from Oracle. 203 00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:54,119 Speaker 1: Yeah, how we could cure cancer and do disease analysis. 204 00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:57,640 Speaker 1: There's a small microcapstock I have that's trying to do 205 00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:02,040 Speaker 1: medical you know AI to better diagnose and get you 206 00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:05,000 Speaker 1: better proper treatments and identify things with all your numbers. 207 00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:05,240 Speaker 3: You know. 208 00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:08,880 Speaker 1: Medical data, as you know is still analog huge, but 209 00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:10,960 Speaker 1: it's not quite digitized enough yet. 210 00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:12,880 Speaker 3: So that's I think there's some future there. 211 00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:16,360 Speaker 1: So add that to the list of technologies is you 212 00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:18,280 Speaker 1: know medical and healthcare AI. 213 00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:22,400 Speaker 2: So to wrap up, we have a massive shift from 214 00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:27,559 Speaker 2: just monetary policy in the twenty tens following the financial 215 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:32,120 Speaker 2: crisis to the COVID spend, the military build up, the 216 00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:36,440 Speaker 2: AI build up, the energy build up. These are all 217 00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:40,760 Speaker 2: policies and sectors of the economy that have been running 218 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:44,480 Speaker 2: fairly hot for the past five or so years. The 219 00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:48,920 Speaker 2: new administration is expected to really supercharge this and if 220 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:52,560 Speaker 2: historical patterns hold up, according to Jeff Hearst of This 221 00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:56,440 Speaker 2: Stock Trader's Almanac, we could see this market continuing to 222 00:12:56,600 --> 00:13:00,040 Speaker 2: rally for the rest of the decade, somewhere in the 223 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:04,079 Speaker 2: high single digits, low double digits. If is that a 224 00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:06,040 Speaker 2: fair way to describe your perspective? 225 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:07,000 Speaker 3: For sure? 226 00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:11,000 Speaker 1: Think about AI and all the related tech, about where 227 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,160 Speaker 1: we were in like ninety two to ninety five with 228 00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:14,120 Speaker 1: Windows ninety. 229 00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:16,760 Speaker 2: Five, right, you know, early Internet days. 230 00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:18,160 Speaker 3: Early Internet days. 231 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:21,720 Speaker 1: Look, my view is that we're kind of at that 232 00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:25,000 Speaker 1: period of time in this technological boom. I remember the 233 00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:27,360 Speaker 1: other part of the supermom equation that I added to it, 234 00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:30,960 Speaker 1: on top of warrant inflation and peace was the culturally 235 00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:34,920 Speaker 1: enabling paradigm shifting technology which AI and all of its 236 00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:37,920 Speaker 1: related ancillary items that we that we spoke about are 237 00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:39,920 Speaker 1: part of and I think we're at that, you know, 238 00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:42,760 Speaker 1: early mid nineties timeframe. 239 00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:46,319 Speaker 2: So to wrap up, if you're a long term investor 240 00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:50,160 Speaker 2: and you are constructive about both the economy and the market, 241 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:53,679 Speaker 2: you should be looking at sectors like defense and energy 242 00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:58,040 Speaker 2: and technology, and you should not be surprised that the 243 00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:01,920 Speaker 2: current BOOL market might have a whole lot further to run. 244 00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:06,960 Speaker 2: I'm Barry Rittolts, and this is Bloomberg's at the Money
