He finds stocks 12 00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:37,520 Speaker 1: that make money and tells the world about them. That's 13 00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:39,519 Speaker 1: a good one right there. I appreciate it, and I 14 00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:43,160 Speaker 1: appreciate Jason Moser from the Motley Fool joining us now. Jason, 15 00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:46,800 Speaker 1: how are you, sir? Doing well? Good? It's always fun 16 00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:48,680 Speaker 1: to talk that this would be a stupid way to invest. 17 00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:50,559 Speaker 1: I realized, and you probably don't run in anybody in 18 00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:52,440 Speaker 1: the situation. But if he if a person said I'm 19 00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:54,560 Speaker 1: going to invest in one stock, I'm just gonna put 20 00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,000 Speaker 1: my money in one stock long horizon. I'm not retiring 21 00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:00,760 Speaker 1: for decades. What should I put my money in? Wow? 22 00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:03,720 Speaker 1: Just one stock? I mean, we would never really recommend that. 23 00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:07,200 Speaker 1: So I can give you one vehicle though one um 24 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:09,959 Speaker 1: if you want to invest in in one asset, you 25 00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:12,679 Speaker 1: can invest in the SMP Index Fund and e t 26 00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:16,119 Speaker 1: F that represents the entire SMP five index fund. That's 27 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:19,120 Speaker 1: essentially getting exposure to all five hundred companies in the 28 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:23,199 Speaker 1: index in the form of one uh so so called share. 29 00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:26,080 Speaker 1: So you could buy shares of that SNT index fund 30 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:29,320 Speaker 1: really throughout the rest of your life and be investing 31 00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:31,440 Speaker 1: in the broader market. That would probably be the easiest 32 00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:32,760 Speaker 1: way to do that. Does it make you want to 33 00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:34,880 Speaker 1: drive your car into a bridge when you hear TV 34 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:40,160 Speaker 1: and radio people talking about the Dow endlessly? Uh? You Well, 35 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:42,280 Speaker 1: I don't know that I want to take it that far, 36 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:44,440 Speaker 1: but I think you raised a good point in that 37 00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:49,480 Speaker 1: Historically the Dow has been used as the benchmark, but 38 00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:53,040 Speaker 1: as times have changed, certainly it's a little bit less 39 00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,680 Speaker 1: uh indicative of our overall economy, at least at least 40 00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:58,560 Speaker 1: as it pertains to the S and P five hundred. 41 00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,880 Speaker 1: The SMP five hundreds tipped we the benchmark we use 42 00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 1: when we measure the investments that we make because it's 43 00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:07,480 Speaker 1: such a much better cross section of the overall economy. Today, 44 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:09,720 Speaker 1: the Dow is very limited, only thirty companies in that 45 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 1: index and how about an hour how about hourly updates 46 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,280 Speaker 1: on that? Even the Washington posted this past weekend had 47 00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 1: a do away with the daily hourly Dow reports. I mean, 48 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 1: what what is that? Well? Those are those are news 49 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:24,280 Speaker 1: entities that I think are just trying to fill time 50 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:28,920 Speaker 1: in order to help their advertisement businesses. Uh flourished. But yeah, 51 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 1: we certainly don't invest that way. We we encourage our 52 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,400 Speaker 1: investors here are members of subscribers to focus on taking 53 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,200 Speaker 1: those longer time arises three to five years, even longer 54 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 1: perhaps um and when you can take that approach patients, 55 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,240 Speaker 1: is really one of our biggest advantages. Time is our 56 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 1: biggest friend when it comes to investing. So yet, don't 57 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 1: pay attention to those day to day movements stops go 58 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 1: up and down. Focus more on the business and as 59 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 1: long as the business is performing well. Uh that that 60 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 1: should help you sleep at night. Somebody help me remember 61 00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 1: to get back to index funds in a moment or two. 62 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,240 Speaker 1: But now seems like a perfect chance to ask the 63 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:06,079 Speaker 1: following Jason Um, what do you think of quarterly or 64 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 1: or worse, monthly reports that companies have to put out 65 00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:15,000 Speaker 1: and and the way that that turned, in my mind 66 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:19,480 Speaker 1: stocks into mostly a speculation game as opposed to investing 67 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,560 Speaker 1: in solid and enforcing all companies to think short term 68 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:24,880 Speaker 1: more importantly, Yeah, I mean, I think you make those 69 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 1: a that's a great observation, and that's something that we 70 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,919 Speaker 1: talked about a lot here at the fool is UH. 71 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,679 Speaker 1: You know, these companies, they they're required to file paperwork 72 00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 1: every quarter on the state of the business. They follow 73 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 1: that ten Q report, which tells us what's going on 74 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 1: in the business over that over that three month stretch, UH, 75 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 1: and then most companies will then release a press release 76 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:45,800 Speaker 1: UH and also have an earnings call and and a 77 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,600 Speaker 1: lot of times you're right that that that sort of 78 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:53,480 Speaker 1: short timeline forces these management teams to think a little 79 00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 1: bit more along those lines as opposed to focusing on 80 00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 1: making decisions that are are better for the business a 81 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 1: little bit more long term. Is I think a really 82 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 1: good example recently, Ron Shake, the guy who founded uh 83 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:06,840 Speaker 1: Panera Bread and he was the CEO of Panera for 84 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 1: quite some time and eventually Panero was made an offer 85 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 1: to get bought out. They were bought out by a 86 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,880 Speaker 1: private private entity, so they're no longer public. But ron 87 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,279 Speaker 1: Shake listed that as one of the biggest challenges was 88 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,159 Speaker 1: having to deal with that quarter in and quarter out 89 00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:25,800 Speaker 1: madness of just meeting these arbitrary Wall Street benchmarks that 90 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 1: sort of hamstrung them a little bit in in making 91 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,640 Speaker 1: better long term focused decisions. So yeah, I think companies 92 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,560 Speaker 1: generally speaking would rather be able to just go about 93 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 1: their business and maybe report every year. But some companies 94 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 1: definitely uh, they'll release like a ten Q or something, 95 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:42,880 Speaker 1: but then they won't really have a call in order 96 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:44,880 Speaker 1: to go further into the state of the business, Berkshire 97 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 1: Hathaway being a very good example there. Of course, Warren 98 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,600 Speaker 1: Buffett is very much in line with that long term 99 00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:53,039 Speaker 1: saky but there's no question about it when you see 100 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:56,359 Speaker 1: these companies that are reporting every quarter. Uh, Wall Street 101 00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 1: lays down these arbitrary benchmarks that make it difficult for 102 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:01,479 Speaker 1: these business is to make those long term well, and 103 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:03,760 Speaker 1: then you get stupid reporting. You get the same sort 104 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:05,960 Speaker 1: of stupid reporting from the same stupid people that are 105 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 1: giving you hourly Dow updates telling you boy, Apple way 106 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,160 Speaker 1: off this quarter with their projections of and being in 107 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:15,080 Speaker 1: people's minds. They're hearing Apples struggling when they may not 108 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 1: be at all. That's exactly right, And we tell everybody 109 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 1: you've got to look past the headlines. Um, I mean, 110 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 1: whenever we're doing our research into these companies and their 111 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:28,280 Speaker 1: quarterly reports, I mean, we're not going to these articles 112 00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:30,839 Speaker 1: that are written on financial websites. We're going to the 113 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:35,200 Speaker 1: actual source, the SEC documents that the company's published, and 114 00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:38,400 Speaker 1: then we're able to make our own assumptions and decisions 115 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 1: based on what we're reading there. But typically, yeah, those 116 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,279 Speaker 1: those those financial media sites, and I mean we we 117 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:46,000 Speaker 1: obviously have a financial media site here at full dot com. 118 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:49,839 Speaker 1: Uh oftentimes will throw a headline up there that is 119 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:53,880 Speaker 1: not necessarily um, a good indicator of the state of 120 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,640 Speaker 1: the business. And really kind of in this Internet age, 121 00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:00,160 Speaker 1: clicks or what dictates a lot of a lot of buns, 122 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:03,039 Speaker 1: and so the more clicks, the veteran in what better 123 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:06,280 Speaker 1: way to get clicks than those crazy headlines. Boy, it's 124 00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:08,520 Speaker 1: so true in so many areas these days. We're talking 125 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:11,760 Speaker 1: to Jason Moser, the senior analyst for Motley Fool about 126 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,160 Speaker 1: you know, how to see through the smoke screen and 127 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 1: most financial reporting and more. Getting close to the moment 128 00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:21,240 Speaker 1: where mega investor positive Sean gets to ask one question 129 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 1: that he is allowed. So Jason, just quickly, we're talking 130 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,560 Speaker 1: about index funds. If you could only do one thing, 131 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:33,160 Speaker 1: an index fund more or less reflects um, the the 132 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:37,159 Speaker 1: the panoply of stocks and companies on the entire index. 133 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 1: So that's the ideas. You don't you don't go heavy 134 00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:43,280 Speaker 1: oil on forim. You just you got a bit of everything. UM. 135 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:48,200 Speaker 1: Is it still true that index funds almost uniformly outperform 136 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 1: the more specialized ones. How would you describe generally speaking? 137 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:57,120 Speaker 1: I think generally speaking, when we talk about funds, because 138 00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,039 Speaker 1: there are a number of different types of funds, there's 139 00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 1: meanful fund uns, which I think has always been sort 140 00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:05,800 Speaker 1: of the traditional UM, the traditionally understood UH investment vehicle, 141 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 1: and oftentimes index funds. Those exchange traded funds will outperform 142 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:13,440 Speaker 1: mutual funds because the management sees are typically lower and 143 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:16,240 Speaker 1: the turnover is lower as well, that those funds aren't 144 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,280 Speaker 1: buying and selling stocks as much as as your traditional 145 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:22,440 Speaker 1: mutual funds. But when you talk about an index fund, 146 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:24,280 Speaker 1: or you talk about an exchange traded fund, I mean 147 00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:27,320 Speaker 1: there are exchange traded funds where that fund will actually 148 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:31,920 Speaker 1: be based on a particular market like energy or financials 149 00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:35,600 Speaker 1: or tech um or you can buy the broader type 150 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:37,679 Speaker 1: of index funds that is going to focus on something 151 00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 1: like the entire SMP five hundreds. So it really does 152 00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:44,680 Speaker 1: depend on on what exactly you're looking to invest in, 153 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 1: if you want something to focuses on a particular market 154 00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:50,240 Speaker 1: versus something that focuses on the market in general. But 155 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 1: it would make sense to to think of it this way. 156 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 1: If you're going to invest in the in the S 157 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:58,600 Speaker 1: and P five index fund, then that fund essentially is 158 00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:00,680 Speaker 1: going to match the performance of the S and P 159 00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:03,920 Speaker 1: five hundred over time. You're gonna follow that line, so 160 00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:06,960 Speaker 1: instead of having to pick individual stocks, you're just getting 161 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 1: that whole basket and ultimately, over time it's gonna it's 162 00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,960 Speaker 1: gonna match over over time, have that have that SMP 163 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:18,720 Speaker 1: uh performance, which historically means always up, maybe more modestly 164 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:22,040 Speaker 1: than speculating on oil or whatever. Just a quick yeah, 165 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:25,440 Speaker 1: I mean stretch that graph out there, looks five years. 166 00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 1: I mean, the trend is clear. The SMP goes up. Now, 167 00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:31,280 Speaker 1: there's some bumps along the way, but that's why we 168 00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:33,640 Speaker 1: subscribe to that longer term view, because the facts are 169 00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,040 Speaker 1: the facts, and over the longer term view, that market 170 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:38,440 Speaker 1: does go up. I remember when oil was a hundred 171 00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:40,600 Speaker 1: bucks of barrel. I was heavily into oil stocks and 172 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:46,040 Speaker 1: thought I was a genius. That's a real real That's 173 00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:47,880 Speaker 1: one of those things that's completely out of our control, 174 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 1: the price of oil, you know, right right, Jason Moser 175 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:53,760 Speaker 1: Motley full on the line positive, Sean, you're penetrating question. Yeah, 176 00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 1: So I'm looking to up my my dividend exposure in 177 00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:00,720 Speaker 1: my portfolio. And as I am doing my research specifically, 178 00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:03,600 Speaker 1: at what point is a dividend high enough to where 179 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:05,520 Speaker 1: it should be a warning sign or a red flag? 180 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,560 Speaker 1: And more generally, how do I tell if a between 181 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,600 Speaker 1: a dividend trip, Like what's a dividend trap something that 182 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:13,959 Speaker 1: that's a good dividend but a bad stock overall? What 183 00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:17,200 Speaker 1: what should I be looking at for that? Yeah, typically 184 00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:19,080 Speaker 1: we look at any company that's going to pay you 185 00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:22,000 Speaker 1: a three percent yield or better as kind of something 186 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:25,680 Speaker 1: we're looking for for the longer haul. Um. Oftentimes you 187 00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,959 Speaker 1: will see companies where they're yielding seven eight nine percent. 188 00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:32,120 Speaker 1: Those higher dividend yields tend to be things like Master 189 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:36,400 Speaker 1: Limited partnerships or reach real estate investment trusts, And the 190 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:39,360 Speaker 1: reason why they offer that big yield is because perhaps 191 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,720 Speaker 1: there isn't the same opportunity in the fixed income market, 192 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:46,960 Speaker 1: which I think would be very reflective what's going on today. Uh. 193 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:50,000 Speaker 1: But when you see those higher dividend yields, I think 194 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,439 Speaker 1: that you need to approach them with the question of 195 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,800 Speaker 1: how can they afford to pay this dividend and can 196 00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:58,320 Speaker 1: they afford to continue paying that level of a dividend 197 00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:02,120 Speaker 1: over time versus something like a McCormick, You know, a 198 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:05,160 Speaker 1: McCormick spice company, where they've been in business forever. They 199 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:07,160 Speaker 1: have a presence in virtually every kitchen in the world, 200 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:10,440 Speaker 1: it seems like, and they pay an affordable dividend over 201 00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:13,640 Speaker 1: time that they won't ever have any any trouble. I'm 202 00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:15,440 Speaker 1: a nerd out on it, just a little bitter sean. 203 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,600 Speaker 1: There is there is something called the payout ratio, and 204 00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:21,360 Speaker 1: that essentially is the number the amount and they pay 205 00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,120 Speaker 1: in dividends versus the net income. But they bring in 206 00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:27,000 Speaker 1: that payout ratio gives us a good indicator as to 207 00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:30,000 Speaker 1: whether the company can afford that dividend over time pay 208 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:31,520 Speaker 1: out ratio is that your term? Is that kind of 209 00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:33,120 Speaker 1: an industry term that I can kind of look into. 210 00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:37,040 Speaker 1: That's an industry term that you can certainly look into. 211 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:39,719 Speaker 1: I gotta cut off because I feel like we're I 212 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,040 Speaker 1: think we're getting too far into the weeds, just in 213 00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:45,680 Speaker 1: Layman's term. So if a company is paying too high dividends, 214 00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:48,680 Speaker 1: what's going on there? Well, I mean, if they're paying 215 00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:50,800 Speaker 1: too high of a dividend, it can mean a number 216 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:53,760 Speaker 1: of different things. Perhaps they're trying, uh, you know, to 217 00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:56,480 Speaker 1: to boost that dividend to get shareholders more interested, or 218 00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:59,199 Speaker 1: perhaps that share prices come down, which is going to 219 00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:01,560 Speaker 1: make that yield go up. Um. I mean, it could 220 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:04,160 Speaker 1: mean any number of different things. But it also oftentimes 221 00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 1: a higher dividend pertained to some of those markets like 222 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:11,320 Speaker 1: master limited partnerships or or even reads. Sometimes energy companies 223 00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:14,760 Speaker 1: where they tend to offer a higher dividend when times 224 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:17,679 Speaker 1: are good, but when times get bad, you know, then 225 00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:20,079 Speaker 1: they have trouble affording that dividend, and it's reflective the 226 00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:22,920 Speaker 1: share price there as well.
