00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:02.480
Money Matter Show with Dean Greenberg. I wish we could
2
00:00:02.480 --> 00:00:05.120
be bringing you some uh, just market news this week,
3
00:00:05.200 --> 00:00:07.519
but unfortunately, there's a lot of other things going on,
4
00:00:08.279 --> 00:00:12.039
and they're important. The reason they're important it shakes the
5
00:00:12.039 --> 00:00:15.800
core of who we are and what we are when
6
00:00:16.839 --> 00:00:20.320
we are trying to get better and get along and
7
00:00:20.399 --> 00:00:23.640
people aren't getting along. And now it's gotten to the
8
00:00:23.679 --> 00:00:26.559
point that it's kind of like, all right, I'm going
9
00:00:26.600 --> 00:00:30.399
to kill people. And you know, yeah, we've we've lived
10
00:00:30.399 --> 00:00:35.920
through some assassination attempts before. I don't remember three assassinations
11
00:00:35.960 --> 00:00:39.960
and attempts and one actually working in such a short
12
00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:45.520
period of time. But it's it's kind of interesting from
13
00:00:45.560 --> 00:00:49.200
the concept of why, and that's some of the things.
14
00:00:49.240 --> 00:00:51.640
You know, we've got to be able to think about
15
00:00:51.880 --> 00:00:53.880
where we are and what we're going. And you're like, well,
16
00:00:53.920 --> 00:00:56.359
this is about the markets. Why how's it don Well,
17
00:00:56.840 --> 00:01:00.719
consumer confidence is down lower than expected this week, and
18
00:01:00.759 --> 00:01:05.079
the reason being is when people are confused and don't
19
00:01:05.159 --> 00:01:11.159
understand what's happening, they're not comfortable with what's happening, and
20
00:01:11.599 --> 00:01:15.560
the sentiment goes down. People don't invest, but somehow the
21
00:01:15.599 --> 00:01:19.120
markets keep going high. I get that but the investing part,
22
00:01:19.159 --> 00:01:22.480
the mental part, the long term investment, the excitement part
23
00:01:23.439 --> 00:01:28.280
is gone. And it's not just about Charlie Kirk being assassinated.
24
00:01:28.319 --> 00:01:32.079
It's not just about that poor Ukrainian girl getting stabbed
25
00:01:32.120 --> 00:01:34.920
in the neck. It's not just because we've had shootings,
26
00:01:34.959 --> 00:01:35.879
school shootings.
27
00:01:37.359 --> 00:01:38.200
Add it all up.
28
00:01:38.599 --> 00:01:44.400
The wars they start dragging on you. They wonder are
29
00:01:44.400 --> 00:01:45.840
we going to get in the war and not get
30
00:01:45.840 --> 00:01:47.760
in the war. We don't want to get in the war.
31
00:01:47.840 --> 00:01:52.359
Nobody wants wars. And there's problems all over the world
32
00:01:52.400 --> 00:01:57.799
with governments, and it just seems to me that you know,
33
00:01:58.560 --> 00:02:01.719
people are understated, but they don't want to make the
34
00:02:01.840 --> 00:02:07.239
changes from socialistic countries to make things work, and those
35
00:02:07.319 --> 00:02:10.800
all have an impact on what happens in our markets,
36
00:02:11.520 --> 00:02:16.159
our money, and the global economy. The markets, however, this
37
00:02:16.240 --> 00:02:19.159
week still went up. DAL was up one, SMP was
38
00:02:19.240 --> 00:02:21.800
up one point six the NASDAK was up two percent.
39
00:02:21.960 --> 00:02:25.319
The wrestle two thousand Bailly made it up and the RSP,
40
00:02:25.479 --> 00:02:27.919
which is the equal weighted SMP, was only up point
41
00:02:27.919 --> 00:02:30.560
three percent. It still puts US up about two percent
42
00:02:30.639 --> 00:02:33.319
on the SMP for the month, three percent for NASDAK,
43
00:02:33.680 --> 00:02:36.080
but everything else is only up half a percent or so,
44
00:02:36.719 --> 00:02:39.280
and the dal sits up seven percent for the year.
45
00:02:39.759 --> 00:02:44.240
SMP is up twelve, Nasdak's up fourteen, Russell's up seven,
46
00:02:44.360 --> 00:02:49.199
equal Weight is up seven. Also good numbers, not bad numbers.
47
00:02:49.680 --> 00:02:51.960
But most of it's in the technology stocks, and that's
48
00:02:51.960 --> 00:02:54.840
where it's going to stay. We've talked about this for
49
00:02:54.879 --> 00:02:57.319
a while that we're we're in a if you're looking
50
00:02:57.360 --> 00:03:00.360
at a game right now, a ball game of nine innings,
51
00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:03.039
I think we're in the first second inning of the
52
00:03:03.080 --> 00:03:04.319
AI explosion.
53
00:03:04.879 --> 00:03:05.080
You know.
54
00:03:05.479 --> 00:03:07.680
You know a lot of people talk to me about
55
00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:10.159
how do you feel that way? Said, go back and
56
00:03:10.159 --> 00:03:12.120
look at history, and there's a lot in history that
57
00:03:12.159 --> 00:03:15.000
repeats itself. I'm a big believer of history repeats itself,
58
00:03:15.400 --> 00:03:18.960
maybe not exactly, but in different ways. And if you
59
00:03:19.000 --> 00:03:21.039
go back and look at the nineteen twenties, you know,
60
00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:24.479
we had the pandemic at seventeen eighteen nineteen something like that.
61
00:03:25.120 --> 00:03:28.599
We had the pandemic in the twenty in nineteen twenty twenty,
62
00:03:28.840 --> 00:03:33.000
kind of same deal, handle it differently. Of course, a
63
00:03:33.080 --> 00:03:36.400
lot of people died, the economy was crushed, but they
64
00:03:36.400 --> 00:03:39.159
were able to do things to keep everything going, which then,
65
00:03:39.280 --> 00:03:46.120
obviously in our side, created a boom and an inflationary problem,
66
00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:49.280
which the FED did not look at and handle correctly.
67
00:03:49.319 --> 00:03:52.599
For whatever reason. They thought it was just a temporary
68
00:03:52.680 --> 00:03:55.439
blipping and it was transitory and then it would come down.
69
00:03:55.520 --> 00:03:59.159
Never did didn't understand the supply chain, didn't understand understand
70
00:03:59.400 --> 00:04:02.400
wages go going high was going to cause inflation to stay.
71
00:04:03.080 --> 00:04:04.840
We talked about it on the show for a very
72
00:04:04.840 --> 00:04:08.240
long time. That's it's going to stay. It's going to sticky.
73
00:04:08.280 --> 00:04:10.280
It's not going to be up seventy eight percent, but
74
00:04:10.360 --> 00:04:12.360
it will come down and it's not going back down
75
00:04:12.360 --> 00:04:16.199
to zero one percent of where it was. So now
76
00:04:16.240 --> 00:04:20.800
in the situation, you know that interest rates are high
77
00:04:20.839 --> 00:04:25.240
for the normal person, inflation is subsided. Uh. And the
78
00:04:25.279 --> 00:04:29.920
economy started showing some weakness a little bit here and there. Unemployment,
79
00:04:29.959 --> 00:04:33.839
which was as lowest tip tick up a little bit.
80
00:04:35.399 --> 00:04:39.879
And there's problems, and there's problems politically, there's problems socially,
81
00:04:39.959 --> 00:04:43.000
there's problems everywhere. But the markets, for some reason, keep
82
00:04:43.040 --> 00:04:48.720
going higher. But that's what makes me uncomfortably bullish. I'm
83
00:04:48.759 --> 00:04:55.199
bullish because we're just like the smokestack manufacturing cars and
84
00:04:55.240 --> 00:04:58.240
all created a boom in America in the twenties, and
85
00:04:58.240 --> 00:05:01.279
there was a roaring twenties. I believe what we're seeing
86
00:05:01.360 --> 00:05:04.879
is the same thing in the technology world of AI
87
00:05:06.360 --> 00:05:08.920
and just a boom. And I think it's a good
88
00:05:09.000 --> 00:05:12.360
another eight to ten years more. And I think that
89
00:05:12.519 --> 00:05:14.680
at least for the next sweet spot of the next
90
00:05:14.720 --> 00:05:19.319
six years, we're going to be in good shape where
91
00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:21.199
you know, you're going to be able to just be
92
00:05:21.360 --> 00:05:24.319
part of it and watch it rally. I mean, there's
93
00:05:24.319 --> 00:05:26.800
a lot of things that are attached to the uh
94
00:05:27.160 --> 00:05:31.600
these mega centers, uh, these uh these buildings, these buildings
95
00:05:31.600 --> 00:05:34.720
are making so the AI can fit it. You know,
96
00:05:34.839 --> 00:05:39.240
there's everything from cooling is building it to energy to
97
00:05:39.399 --> 00:05:42.720
nucular you name it. It's so many different things that
98
00:05:42.759 --> 00:05:48.360
are going to be part of this technological technological advances
99
00:05:48.399 --> 00:05:51.240
we're making. It's just like the twenties and the and
100
00:05:51.079 --> 00:05:56.439
the any incredible growing twenties. We're back in the rowing twenties.
101
00:05:56.480 --> 00:05:59.279
And then obviously it ended in a bad situation and
102
00:05:59.279 --> 00:06:02.160
we've got to be careful full about that. But the
103
00:06:02.439 --> 00:06:07.160
situation is going to go ahead and allow investors to
104
00:06:07.199 --> 00:06:09.839
make some good money understanding we're going to get through it,
105
00:06:10.040 --> 00:06:12.279
but don't be greedy when they're ralling up because it
106
00:06:12.319 --> 00:06:15.600
will be pullbacks, there will be volatility. So we always
107
00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:19.240
say keep your court position, trade around it, invest more
108
00:06:19.240 --> 00:06:21.879
on the pullbacks, and there's other ways to go, do
109
00:06:21.959 --> 00:06:24.800
other things. And if they go higher and take some
110
00:06:24.839 --> 00:06:27.360
money off the table, it's okay, and you can take
111
00:06:27.439 --> 00:06:29.120
off the new stuff off the table, so you're not
112
00:06:29.120 --> 00:06:32.560
paying the long the big capital gains off there. There's
113
00:06:32.560 --> 00:06:36.040
a you know, if you buy five hundred shares at
114
00:06:36.120 --> 00:06:38.839
twenty dollars and now it's one hundred and fifty and
115
00:06:38.920 --> 00:06:40.839
it pulls back to one twenty and you buy another
116
00:06:40.879 --> 00:06:43.279
five hundred shares, you can go ahead and just sell
117
00:06:43.600 --> 00:06:46.560
that new share lot of one hundred and twenty, So
118
00:06:46.600 --> 00:06:51.319
you're not going to pay all those taxes from twenty dollars.
119
00:06:51.160 --> 00:06:56.399
Just remember that. That's it. It's being tax effective so
120
00:06:56.439 --> 00:06:59.759
you don't have to pay huge capital gains if you
121
00:06:59.879 --> 00:07:01.480
go in the head take some money off the table.
122
00:07:03.079 --> 00:07:07.920
So we move forward here, where do we see the upside? Well,
123
00:07:08.079 --> 00:07:10.879
it's gonna depend what the Fed says. The markets are
124
00:07:10.879 --> 00:07:12.959
moving up with the idea that the Fed is going
125
00:07:12.959 --> 00:07:16.000
to lower interest rates. If the FED lowers interest rates
126
00:07:16.240 --> 00:07:19.160
a quarter percent, I think you got a yawn. Net
127
00:07:19.160 --> 00:07:22.279
Coms buying the new roomor sell on the news probably
128
00:07:22.279 --> 00:07:23.800
have a little bit of pull back, maybe up a
129
00:07:23.839 --> 00:07:26.040
little bit. It depends what they say. If they say
130
00:07:26.040 --> 00:07:28.079
a quarter and then we're gonna go another quarter another quarter,
131
00:07:28.120 --> 00:07:30.079
will be up a one percent in the next four
132
00:07:30.199 --> 00:07:33.160
or five months, down one of one percent next four
133
00:07:33.240 --> 00:07:36.079
or five months, that's a different story. But if what
134
00:07:36.120 --> 00:07:38.399
if they cut by a half and then a quarter
135
00:07:38.480 --> 00:07:40.319
in a quarter, I think that you'll see a stimulus
136
00:07:40.319 --> 00:07:42.199
come in and think you think that the Fed's there,
137
00:07:42.519 --> 00:07:45.120
and then the markets can take off. And that's gonna
138
00:07:45.160 --> 00:07:48.360
help the technology stocks. It's gonna help the growth stocks
139
00:07:48.639 --> 00:07:51.319
because with interest rates lower, that helps everything. It's also
140
00:07:51.360 --> 00:07:54.639
going to help our debt. Okay, energy prices are down.
141
00:07:55.160 --> 00:07:57.519
That's what helps the economy grow and do the things
142
00:07:57.519 --> 00:07:59.600
we need to do. And if we and if we
143
00:07:59.720 --> 00:08:03.360
do things that they say they're going to do and
144
00:08:03.600 --> 00:08:07.160
increase jobs in the areas that we need it to
145
00:08:07.199 --> 00:08:10.160
be because let's face it, with this new technology, we
146
00:08:10.240 --> 00:08:13.120
need to know how to use it, how to learn
147
00:08:13.120 --> 00:08:14.600
from it, how to build on it, and we're going
148
00:08:14.680 --> 00:08:16.879
to have to honestly, we're going to have to go
149
00:08:16.920 --> 00:08:21.439
ahead and actually train people just be you know, in
150
00:08:21.480 --> 00:08:25.720
that trade of being able to handle the AI, to
151
00:08:25.839 --> 00:08:29.000
handle the computers, to handle the technology that's going to
152
00:08:29.040 --> 00:08:31.160
be there. You know, It's like it's like an auto
153
00:08:31.199 --> 00:08:34.039
mechanic today, he needs to know computers. It's not just
154
00:08:34.240 --> 00:08:36.559
you know, going in and taking the oil off and
155
00:08:36.600 --> 00:08:39.279
putting it back on and saying, hey, I'm done. It's
156
00:08:39.519 --> 00:08:45.720
understanding the logistics of the electronics of the motive, the
157
00:08:46.360 --> 00:08:49.080
motor vehicles now. So there's a lot more to it
158
00:08:49.480 --> 00:08:52.519
than just being uh, you know, coming out of high
159
00:08:52.519 --> 00:08:55.200
school shop and be able to work on cars. There's
160
00:08:55.240 --> 00:08:57.159
a lot more to it now. And you have to
161
00:08:57.240 --> 00:08:59.960
understand the computers. You have to understand technology to make
162
00:09:00.080 --> 00:09:02.759
at work. So that's kind of where this whole thing is. So,
163
00:09:03.279 --> 00:09:05.679
I mean, if things are good, I mean, I definitely
164
00:09:05.679 --> 00:09:07.840
think we can see sixty seven hundred on the Dow
165
00:09:07.919 --> 00:09:10.519
pretty quickly, on the S and P pretty quickly, and
166
00:09:10.600 --> 00:09:12.440
I think you're going to see fifty thousand on the
167
00:09:12.480 --> 00:09:15.840
Dow way before you see anything in the thirties, all right,
168
00:09:15.919 --> 00:09:17.799
And where we are, we're right in the middle right
169
00:09:17.840 --> 00:09:20.519
now about forty five thousand, So I think you go
170
00:09:20.600 --> 00:09:23.519
up to fifty thousand before you go down under forty thousand.
171
00:09:25.000 --> 00:09:28.559
Anytime that there is a pullback here of say five seven,
172
00:09:28.639 --> 00:09:31.879
ten percent, we need to jump on it because I
173
00:09:31.919 --> 00:09:35.279
do think that coming back from there, the markets will rally.
174
00:09:35.519 --> 00:09:37.200
And that's given the fact that we don't have a
175
00:09:37.200 --> 00:09:40.879
black Swan event. Okay, and a black Swan event is
176
00:09:40.879 --> 00:09:44.480
something that we cannot predict or see coming on what
177
00:09:44.519 --> 00:09:48.320
it's going to be. I E nine to eleven, Okay,
178
00:09:49.039 --> 00:09:51.919
I E nine to eleven. Obviously it was September eleventh
179
00:09:51.919 --> 00:09:53.480
this week. I know a lot of us that are
180
00:09:53.519 --> 00:09:59.200
older had family friends killed. They are people that we've known,
181
00:09:59.320 --> 00:10:02.000
that I've known for long time, that have been sick
182
00:10:02.039 --> 00:10:04.759
and died from being at at nine to eleven at
183
00:10:04.799 --> 00:10:06.679
that time. I know people that were in the world
184
00:10:06.759 --> 00:10:10.360
Trade centers that didn't make it out. It's a terrible thing.
185
00:10:10.399 --> 00:10:12.559
And then what do we see this week is the
186
00:10:12.639 --> 00:10:16.799
other the other problems we have, you know right now
187
00:10:16.840 --> 00:10:20.600
in America. And it's not new, it's just different, you know.
188
00:10:21.200 --> 00:10:23.600
You know, during the sixties and seventies, we had the
189
00:10:23.679 --> 00:10:27.360
Vietnam War. They were protests all the time on college campuses.
190
00:10:27.360 --> 00:10:29.960
Why do you think it's any different on college campuses now,
191
00:10:30.399 --> 00:10:34.279
except the hate of a specific group has changed. It's
192
00:10:34.279 --> 00:10:37.639
not about saying America shouldn't be in the wars in Vietnam.
193
00:10:38.080 --> 00:10:42.000
It's you know, they lately it's been you know, blaming
194
00:10:42.120 --> 00:10:47.600
Jews for protecting themselves and all, and yeah, you might
195
00:10:47.639 --> 00:10:51.960
not like the way they've responded. You know, it's sort
196
00:10:52.000 --> 00:10:54.039
of like the same thing all the time, you know,
197
00:10:54.919 --> 00:10:57.919
especially like in a football game, the guy that gets
198
00:10:57.919 --> 00:11:00.080
the penalty is the second guy. You never see what
199
00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:02.399
the first guy does, and the second guy is the
200
00:11:02.399 --> 00:11:05.639
one that gets flagged because he pushes back and all. Well,
201
00:11:05.679 --> 00:11:07.840
it's kind of the same thing, I mean, except the
202
00:11:07.879 --> 00:11:14.919
fact that we know that Hamas, who lives in Palestine,
203
00:11:15.320 --> 00:11:21.159
rated and pillaged the Israelis on their territory. We know that.
204
00:11:21.879 --> 00:11:24.159
So all this other stuff about them fighting back there,
205
00:11:24.279 --> 00:11:26.120
you don't like the way they fight back, Well, you
206
00:11:26.159 --> 00:11:27.720
know what, you don't have a better air answer. And
207
00:11:27.759 --> 00:11:30.559
they didn't attack your house, they didn't attack your family,
208
00:11:30.639 --> 00:11:33.279
and you don't live in a place that says, hey,
209
00:11:34.679 --> 00:11:37.720
you know, we want to not hurt you. We don't
210
00:11:37.759 --> 00:11:40.360
want to just not talk to you. We want to
211
00:11:40.399 --> 00:11:45.480
annihilate you and your entire race. Okay, what would he
212
00:11:45.600 --> 00:11:48.519
say to that someone wants to annihilate your whole family,
213
00:11:48.519 --> 00:11:50.440
that they don't even want you to be existing next
214
00:11:50.440 --> 00:11:52.639
door to them. I think your attitude wuld be a
215
00:11:52.679 --> 00:11:56.639
little bit different, you know. So where we come now?
216
00:11:56.879 --> 00:12:00.000
I mean, what a horrible week, What a horrible week?
217
00:12:00.240 --> 00:12:04.200
Or you know all the all the you know, all
218
00:12:04.240 --> 00:12:08.120
the videos of the Ukrainian girl refugee that came to
219
00:12:08.159 --> 00:12:11.279
America to get away from the war ridden zone of
220
00:12:11.399 --> 00:12:17.039
Ukraine and with paying attention just to herself, not bothering anybody,
221
00:12:17.840 --> 00:12:22.039
some crazy maniac person decides to stab her and kill
222
00:12:22.039 --> 00:12:28.480
her and it's all on camera, all on camera. We
223
00:12:28.559 --> 00:12:33.519
have shootings, and then we have another assassination of Charlie Kirk.
224
00:12:35.360 --> 00:12:40.039
Why is a Charlie Kirk situation so big? Because he's
225
00:12:40.080 --> 00:12:48.879
a political activist. But he's a conservative political activist. He's
226
00:12:48.960 --> 00:12:55.639
not a politician. He started his own political group to
227
00:12:55.679 --> 00:13:03.080
spread the word of obviously being conservative and religion and
228
00:13:03.159 --> 00:13:10.039
Christianity from his beliefs to young people on college campuses.
229
00:13:12.480 --> 00:13:17.080
Never incited riots. There were never any type of protests
230
00:13:17.080 --> 00:13:22.679
that got out of control. It was conversation that made
231
00:13:22.720 --> 00:13:30.960
some people uncomfortable. But like everything now after he's been assassinated,
232
00:13:32.000 --> 00:13:36.159
people try to take excerpts out of his dialogue to
233
00:13:36.200 --> 00:13:40.039
say that he was a person of hate. I've read him,
234
00:13:40.240 --> 00:13:42.360
I've looked at him. I didn't know much about Charlie Kirk.
235
00:13:42.399 --> 00:13:44.200
I got to be honest with you. I knew what
236
00:13:44.240 --> 00:13:50.480
he was, conservative political activists, mostly for young people, talking
237
00:13:50.519 --> 00:13:52.759
about things that he needed to do. Knew what he
238
00:13:52.919 --> 00:13:57.039
was talking about, okay, And at the end of the day,
239
00:13:58.399 --> 00:14:00.440
there were a lot of followers, he had a lot
