00:00:01.600 --> 00:00:06.240
Good morning, Tucson, and Happy Thanksgiving. Hopefully everyone's having a
2
00:00:06.280 --> 00:00:09.240
great Thanksgiving. We have a lot to be thankful for,
3
00:00:10.800 --> 00:00:14.279
a lot to look forward to in the future, and
4
00:00:14.320 --> 00:00:16.679
I hope you guys are enjoying it. I mean, you
5
00:00:16.719 --> 00:00:20.280
know that the intensity, the intensity of the election is
6
00:00:20.839 --> 00:00:23.719
over right now. So you know, it's like you can
7
00:00:23.800 --> 00:00:27.359
go to Thanksgiving and sit there and just smile to
8
00:00:27.399 --> 00:00:31.960
those that are scared and just if they have questions,
9
00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:34.000
you answer them. If they don't, then let them be.
10
00:00:34.640 --> 00:00:36.200
But at the end of the day, we're seeing the
11
00:00:36.240 --> 00:00:37.799
movements going in the right direction.
12
00:00:38.320 --> 00:00:38.560
You know.
13
00:00:38.640 --> 00:00:41.399
The markets like it, and that's what we're interested in
14
00:00:41.439 --> 00:00:44.119
the most right now. The war right across the board.
15
00:00:44.640 --> 00:00:47.119
I've never seen this before. Everything the Dow, S and P,
16
00:00:47.320 --> 00:00:51.799
na's Dak Russell and the equal weighted SMP, they're all
17
00:00:51.880 --> 00:00:54.479
up one point one percent for the week, maybe one
18
00:00:54.520 --> 00:00:57.520
point two percent, which gives them a great month. The
19
00:00:57.600 --> 00:01:00.719
S and P was up almost was up five point seven,
20
00:01:00.759 --> 00:01:03.280
that DO was up seven and a half, the NAVZAC
21
00:01:03.399 --> 00:01:05.879
was up six point two, the wrestle was up eleven,
22
00:01:06.519 --> 00:01:09.359
and the equal weighted S and P five hundred is
23
00:01:09.400 --> 00:01:12.400
up six and a half percent. That's very very good,
24
00:01:13.680 --> 00:01:16.120
good returns for the year. If that's all your If
25
00:01:16.159 --> 00:01:19.200
you have your money that's invested like the indexages, that's
26
00:01:19.239 --> 00:01:21.719
what you made. It's how much you have, probably your
27
00:01:21.719 --> 00:01:26.079
whole portfolio. It's not just an invested in it. So
28
00:01:26.280 --> 00:01:29.000
you know if you have bonds and stuff, remember it's
29
00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:32.000
a total return and your bonds are probably going to
30
00:01:32.079 --> 00:01:35.599
give you four or five percent, if the if the
31
00:01:35.719 --> 00:01:38.439
S and P gives you twenty percent, depending what your
32
00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:40.319
your your share is, that's where you're going to be.
33
00:01:41.000 --> 00:01:44.640
So understand that as you look at your overall portfolio.
34
00:01:46.239 --> 00:01:50.480
I'm going to talk about where we stand as money managers,
35
00:01:50.840 --> 00:01:52.760
what we're doing, and what we're thinking, and why we're
36
00:01:52.799 --> 00:01:58.159
thinking it, and uh, we're cautious, there's no doubt. But
37
00:01:58.239 --> 00:02:01.439
before that you have to make the disclaimer. Greenberg Financial
38
00:02:01.439 --> 00:02:04.200
Group is both a registered investment advisory and a broken
39
00:02:04.239 --> 00:02:08.199
dealer registered with the SEC, members of FINRA and members
40
00:02:08.280 --> 00:02:11.439
of SIPIK. On this show, we talk about different products
41
00:02:11.439 --> 00:02:15.039
and different strategies. Everything has everyone has their own opinion.
42
00:02:16.159 --> 00:02:19.280
Just understand everything has risk. Everything has risk. Everything we
43
00:02:19.360 --> 00:02:22.599
talk about has risk. Somehows less risks than others, Some
44
00:02:22.639 --> 00:02:25.360
have more risk than others. But understand risk and your
45
00:02:25.400 --> 00:02:29.879
portfolio and your risk tolerance prior to investing. I can't
46
00:02:29.879 --> 00:02:35.719
tell you any clearer. Everything has risk, and the markets
47
00:02:35.719 --> 00:02:38.680
have risk. Right now. I mean we're making new highs, guys,
48
00:02:38.719 --> 00:02:42.639
We're making new highs across the board. Okay, think about that.
49
00:02:43.319 --> 00:02:47.319
The S and P made a new high, the Dow
50
00:02:47.919 --> 00:02:54.560
makes a new high. Everything's making a new high. Why
51
00:02:54.680 --> 00:02:58.240
Because people are afraid to miss out. They keep investing
52
00:02:58.240 --> 00:03:01.879
the money. But I see rotation going on. The money's
53
00:03:01.919 --> 00:03:05.120
moved pretty much from those high tech AI type stocks
54
00:03:05.159 --> 00:03:08.240
because they've kind of been going back and forth in
55
00:03:08.280 --> 00:03:12.439
the same trading range and moving more into the industrials,
56
00:03:12.520 --> 00:03:15.759
more into the Dow Joe's Timestot Dow Jones type stocks,
57
00:03:16.280 --> 00:03:19.439
financials and stuff, which is great for building a base.
58
00:03:20.520 --> 00:03:23.000
But the diversion is starting to bother me. Money's coming
59
00:03:23.039 --> 00:03:24.280
out of one and going to the other. I don't
60
00:03:24.319 --> 00:03:26.919
see money coming in. New money needs to come in
61
00:03:27.439 --> 00:03:32.080
to make the markets rally even more. New money needs
62
00:03:32.159 --> 00:03:35.280
to come in to let the markets rally more. So
63
00:03:35.360 --> 00:03:38.159
with that, when do we get new money. Well after
64
00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:40.240
the first of the years, when we usually get new money,
65
00:03:40.280 --> 00:03:43.360
people then start putting money back into the foreign case.
66
00:03:43.400 --> 00:03:45.599
People that have already maxed them out. We'll start all
67
00:03:45.599 --> 00:03:48.840
over again. New money, bonuses, you name it, all come
68
00:03:48.879 --> 00:03:51.000
in after the first of the year, so January, February,
69
00:03:51.000 --> 00:03:54.280
March usually you see new money coming in. New money
70
00:03:54.280 --> 00:03:58.520
comes into set plans, new money comes into therefore not
71
00:03:58.639 --> 00:04:01.680
on their foreign case. But I raise raw thigh raise.
72
00:04:01.759 --> 00:04:06.120
It's new money that comes in which can propel the
73
00:04:06.240 --> 00:04:08.159
markets higher in the first part of the year. And
74
00:04:08.199 --> 00:04:10.879
you know, seasonally, that's what it is. So what happens
75
00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:14.439
between now and then. If I had a guess, most
76
00:04:14.439 --> 00:04:17.199
people are cautious right now, and there's a good reason.
77
00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:22.360
Evaluations aren't great. Markets are funneled into a few stocks.
78
00:04:22.399 --> 00:04:24.360
Now it's starting to broaden out a little bit. You
79
00:04:24.439 --> 00:04:28.720
got retail season season, and then you got obviously, you
80
00:04:28.759 --> 00:04:32.399
know Trump talking about tariffs raising prices. If that happens,
81
00:04:32.639 --> 00:04:36.000
nobody really knows. So as the talk gets heated closer
82
00:04:36.040 --> 00:04:38.800
to January, I think you can come in next week
83
00:04:38.839 --> 00:04:40.600
and see, you know, a little bit of a selloff.
84
00:04:41.319 --> 00:04:43.639
I'm not looking for a crash right now. I'm looking
85
00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:47.839
for maybe a three, five, maximum seven or ten percent pullback.
86
00:04:48.319 --> 00:04:49.959
I don't even think it gets seven to ten. I
87
00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:53.360
think it's a three to five, maybe seven percent pullback.
88
00:04:53.399 --> 00:04:55.600
So what's five percent to three that that's three hundred
89
00:04:55.720 --> 00:04:58.600
S and P points brings you down to fifty seven hundred.
90
00:04:58.879 --> 00:05:01.439
If it does go down a ten percent, that brings
91
00:05:01.439 --> 00:05:03.360
you down to fifty four hundred on the S and
92
00:05:03.360 --> 00:05:07.000
P five hundred. I do believe that any pullback will
93
00:05:07.040 --> 00:05:08.959
be bought going into the end of the year, and
94
00:05:09.000 --> 00:05:12.319
if not, the end of the year, beginning January through April,
95
00:05:12.360 --> 00:05:14.839
you'll see that it all bounce back. So if you
96
00:05:14.920 --> 00:05:18.439
see the opportunity here and you're underinvested, which a lot
97
00:05:18.480 --> 00:05:21.000
of us are because I've been cautious taking money off
98
00:05:21.000 --> 00:05:23.920
the table and sitting getting my money market funds, which
99
00:05:23.920 --> 00:05:25.560
you are paying I don't know, close to four and
100
00:05:25.560 --> 00:05:29.879
a half five percent, and happy with it. Okay, happy
101
00:05:29.920 --> 00:05:34.839
with it. I just waiting to see for an opportunity. Patients. Patients,
102
00:05:35.000 --> 00:05:38.879
Patience is the virtue of the game, because if you
103
00:05:38.920 --> 00:05:42.319
don't have patience and you force trades or you force investing,
104
00:05:42.839 --> 00:05:44.720
and you don't have that length of time that you
105
00:05:44.759 --> 00:05:46.800
had when you're in your twenties and thirties, because usually
106
00:05:46.839 --> 00:05:49.279
you have your money when you're in your fifties sixty seventies,
107
00:05:50.079 --> 00:05:53.000
you get scared when it turns the other way. So
108
00:05:53.199 --> 00:05:57.439
understanding mitigating risk. We have mitigated risk obviously, that's like insurance,
109
00:05:57.480 --> 00:05:59.920
and we want to lose on that. And we are
110
00:06:00.199 --> 00:06:02.720
losing on a mitigating risk right now because the markets
111
00:06:02.759 --> 00:06:05.639
are going higher. But the things that we stayed invested
112
00:06:05.680 --> 00:06:07.800
in that didn't have to sell and take tax and
113
00:06:07.839 --> 00:06:11.399
pay taxes are going higher or maintaining where they were.
114
00:06:12.360 --> 00:06:16.079
Very important. Understand mitigating risk just takes down your risk
115
00:06:16.600 --> 00:06:19.920
of your portfolio, allows the others to still make money.
116
00:06:19.959 --> 00:06:23.600
And you can make money by mitigating risk. But mitigating
117
00:06:23.720 --> 00:06:26.560
risk will or set losses if it goes down, and
118
00:06:26.600 --> 00:06:28.759
give you more cash if it goes down in order
119
00:06:28.800 --> 00:06:32.560
to go ahead and reinvest at a lower price. That
120
00:06:32.680 --> 00:06:42.519
mentality is what makes managing money effectively successful. Understanding markets
121
00:06:42.519 --> 00:06:45.000
go up and down, Understanding how to invest when the
122
00:06:45.000 --> 00:06:47.800
markets go up and down, how to mitigate risk, how
123
00:06:47.839 --> 00:06:50.240
to take money off the table, how to reduce your
124
00:06:50.279 --> 00:06:53.319
positions that are the most risky, ist how to do
125
00:06:53.360 --> 00:06:59.399
this within a best tax practice situation. So many people
126
00:06:59.560 --> 00:07:02.120
don't know what to do. They have these highly appreciated
127
00:07:02.199 --> 00:07:04.800
stocks that have made them two to three five hundred
128
00:07:04.839 --> 00:07:07.120
thousand million dollars and they just hold on to it,
129
00:07:07.480 --> 00:07:10.680
which is great, except if one day that stock gets hurt.
130
00:07:11.000 --> 00:07:13.040
We've all seen it, We've all been there. Okay, I
131
00:07:13.079 --> 00:07:15.439
won't talk about ed Ron, I won't talk about you know,
132
00:07:15.720 --> 00:07:18.120
uh those type stacks. But let's talk about Bear Stearns.
133
00:07:18.160 --> 00:07:22.079
Let's talk about Merrill Lynch, Let's talk about Bank America,
134
00:07:22.160 --> 00:07:25.720
all those stocks that were great stocks, paying dividends, Lehman Brothers.
135
00:07:26.199 --> 00:07:27.680
You know, you had never thought they would be out
136
00:07:27.680 --> 00:07:30.519
of business, and boom puff they got the one out
137
00:07:30.519 --> 00:07:30.920
of business.
138
00:07:31.000 --> 00:07:31.920
So be careful.
139
00:07:31.959 --> 00:07:37.000
It's allocations is what keeps you in the game. Allocations
140
00:07:37.160 --> 00:07:39.240
obviously how much you want to have an individual stock
141
00:07:39.360 --> 00:07:42.800
versus how much you want in ETFs ets or less
142
00:07:42.879 --> 00:07:45.279
risky than that individual stocks. Yes, you can make more
143
00:07:45.319 --> 00:07:47.680
on an individual stock if you catch it right, but
144
00:07:47.800 --> 00:07:49.759
you will lose more on an individual stock. And an
145
00:07:49.839 --> 00:07:52.079
individual stock can actually go down while the S and
146
00:07:52.120 --> 00:07:55.399
P while the index is going higher. So be careful
147
00:07:55.600 --> 00:08:00.360
on how you do it. So when when you look
148
00:08:00.399 --> 00:08:02.720
at this, why could the markets go down? Well, I'll
149
00:08:02.720 --> 00:08:05.319
tell you right, now it's because everyone knows markets go
150
00:08:05.399 --> 00:08:07.480
up and down. It the buying stops. And when there's
151
00:08:07.519 --> 00:08:10.120
no money flowing into mutual funds to buy, and you
152
00:08:10.160 --> 00:08:12.560
get some sell orders, people taking money off the table,
153
00:08:13.439 --> 00:08:15.720
then it goes down. Where would that happen. Probably won't
154
00:08:15.720 --> 00:08:18.800
happen in taxable accounts, but I can see it happening
155
00:08:19.519 --> 00:08:24.399
in the retirement accounts, the tax deferred accounts. I can
156
00:08:24.439 --> 00:08:26.560
see people taking some money off the table. To be
157
00:08:27.160 --> 00:08:30.399
careful about what's going on, because it's the prudent thing
158
00:08:30.439 --> 00:08:33.000
to do. It's hard to do because if you sell
159
00:08:33.039 --> 00:08:35.919
it and it goes higher, everyone's scratching their head, going, oh,
160
00:08:35.960 --> 00:08:37.440
what am I gonna do? What am I gonna do?
161
00:08:37.960 --> 00:08:38.240
Well?
162
00:08:39.080 --> 00:08:43.519
I do believe we're in a scenario that they're always surprises,
163
00:08:44.440 --> 00:08:47.600
and when the markets are this high, have moved up
164
00:08:48.000 --> 00:08:53.320
this fast, and you get a surprise, the downside comes quick.
165
00:08:54.399 --> 00:08:56.440
Hey let's someone up six thousand. We were down to
166
00:08:56.480 --> 00:09:01.600
fifty seven hundred pretty quickly. Understand that can happen very quickly.
167
00:09:02.080 --> 00:09:03.840
So the best way to do it is when the
168
00:09:03.879 --> 00:09:07.240
markets are higher, take a little off the table. If
169
00:09:07.279 --> 00:09:09.360
you got six hundred chairs, take off one hundred to
170
00:09:09.440 --> 00:09:14.200
two hundred chairs if you're if you're too much invested.
171
00:09:14.879 --> 00:09:16.919
You know, you were sixty percent, you're like being sixty
172
00:09:16.919 --> 00:09:20.000
percent inequities, and now it's up to sixty five seventy.
173
00:09:20.320 --> 00:09:23.279
Pull it back to sixty or even fifty five or fifty.
174
00:09:24.320 --> 00:09:26.759
Be a little bit more cautious. When we're at the
175
00:09:26.840 --> 00:09:29.480
levels that we're at, figure out a way to do it.
176
00:09:29.519 --> 00:09:31.799
If you have highly appreciated stock, you don't want to
177
00:09:31.799 --> 00:09:36.240
come out, there's ways to protect that stock without having
178
00:09:36.279 --> 00:09:38.639
to sell it. And that's the use of selling a
179
00:09:38.679 --> 00:09:41.720
call and buying a put and protecting it or just
180
00:09:41.799 --> 00:09:43.919
buying the put so you know, if it goes down,
181
00:09:44.000 --> 00:09:46.600
you're gonna do it. You're gonna buy insurance on that stock.
182
00:09:47.600 --> 00:09:49.919
That's as simple as I can make it. We do
183
00:09:49.960 --> 00:09:53.039
that for many people that are in that position. You know,
184
00:09:53.080 --> 00:09:54.559
they come to us and they got a quarter a million,
185
00:09:54.600 --> 00:09:57.559
three hundred thousand dollars in realize gains. They don't want
186
00:09:57.600 --> 00:09:59.799
to take that. So what we do is we p
187
00:10:00.120 --> 00:10:02.960
tech that stock and and and then we can sell
188
00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:05.639
it off. If it's still going higher and the options
189
00:10:05.639 --> 00:10:08.600
are losing us money, then great. That's how we'll sell
190
00:10:08.639 --> 00:10:10.879
off some of the stock, then into the losses and
191
00:10:10.919 --> 00:10:13.799
match them up. There's ways to do things. If you've
192
00:10:13.799 --> 00:10:16.519
been around this business long enough than we are. Remember
193
00:10:16.559 --> 00:10:20.960
what we do here is not just do financial planning, okay,
194
00:10:21.360 --> 00:10:24.159
which we do a fantastic job. Almost everybody wants to
195
00:10:24.159 --> 00:10:26.840
get that that financial plan that we give to them,
196
00:10:27.279 --> 00:10:29.000
and we don't charge them for doing it because it's
197
00:10:29.080 --> 00:10:31.879
very important to us as advisors to know the whole picture.
198
00:10:32.399 --> 00:10:33.960
How can we help you if we don't know the
199
00:10:34.000 --> 00:10:37.720
whole picture? You know, if you come to us and say, oh,
200
00:10:37.840 --> 00:10:40.840
I've got chess pain, Okay, we think we you know
201
00:10:40.919 --> 00:10:42.399
as a doctor, but you've got to go in and
202
00:10:42.440 --> 00:10:45.039
find out. But that chess pain could be coming from
203
00:10:45.399 --> 00:10:47.799
your your your hit, That chess pain could be coming
204
00:10:47.799 --> 00:10:50.480
from someplace else. What other things do you have going on?
205
00:10:50.960 --> 00:10:53.840
You have to find the whole picture because things are interconnected.
206
00:10:54.200 --> 00:10:57.360
It's no different when someone comes to us. We just
207
00:10:57.440 --> 00:11:00.559
don't manage the money. That's the that's the cherry on
208
00:11:00.600 --> 00:11:03.480
top of the whip cream at the end. It's the
209
00:11:03.559 --> 00:11:05.919
bottom line is that we're able to go ahead and
210
00:11:06.000 --> 00:11:08.200
know your whole picture so we know how to manage
211
00:11:08.200 --> 00:11:11.279
the money. How if you want to be aggressive, you're
212
00:11:11.279 --> 00:11:13.519
better not being using that money to be able to
213
00:11:13.559 --> 00:11:16.159
live on if you want to be aggressive. But if
214
00:11:16.200 --> 00:11:18.840
you already have enough income coming to you and doing
215
00:11:18.840 --> 00:11:20.639
the things you need, and you want to be aggressive,
216
00:11:20.879 --> 00:11:22.799
then we figure out how you want to be aggressive,
217
00:11:22.799 --> 00:11:24.720
what kind of quality do you want, how much risk
218
00:11:24.720 --> 00:11:26.559
do you want to take, and then we do it
219
00:11:26.600 --> 00:11:28.320
that way. But you know, you have to plan for
220
00:11:28.360 --> 00:11:31.799
social security, you have to plan for medicare, you have
221
00:11:31.879 --> 00:11:34.320
to plan for all these things, all right, and then
222
00:11:34.320 --> 00:11:35.919
you've got to plan for everything else that you're going
223
00:11:36.000 --> 00:11:38.679
to do in your life. When you're thirty and forty,
224
00:11:38.679 --> 00:11:41.159
you're planning differently than when you're fifty, and you're definitely
225
00:11:41.200 --> 00:11:44.480
planning differently when you're in sixty, seventy eighty years old.
226
00:11:45.279 --> 00:11:48.799
And the planning is what's so important. And we do
227
00:11:48.840 --> 00:11:52.000
that every day, and it's gotten better and better and better.
228
00:11:52.039 --> 00:11:55.480
And it's not just to sell insurance products like that's
229
00:11:55.480 --> 00:11:58.360
the way it was. For almost thirty years. I was
230
00:11:58.360 --> 00:12:02.000
in the business financial plans. So the insurance guy can
231
00:12:02.039 --> 00:12:05.399
go ahead and sell you insurance. And it's not just
232
00:12:05.480 --> 00:12:09.080
life insurance, it's all types of insurance products, annuities, or
233
00:12:09.080 --> 00:12:11.320
whatever it was. That's what they did to show you
234
00:12:11.360 --> 00:12:14.039
to do it. Our financial plans are actually setting you
235
00:12:14.159 --> 00:12:17.960
up on how much income can you take over period
236
00:12:17.960 --> 00:12:22.000
of time and be able to still sustain your net worth,
237
00:12:22.039 --> 00:12:27.360
your capital and even see some growth. Very important, very important.
238
00:12:27.600 --> 00:12:31.840
So as we move through week to week, day to day,
239
00:12:32.480 --> 00:12:35.080
you know, and get excited about Trump and his administration,
