00:00:00.480 --> 00:00:01.679
Good morning everybody.
2
00:00:01.720 --> 00:00:04.280
It's that time, Sunday morning, eight o'clock right here, seven
3
00:00:04.280 --> 00:00:07.559
to ninety okns T. This is Dean Greenberg with the
4
00:00:07.599 --> 00:00:10.080
Money Matter Show. We're going to try to talk to
5
00:00:10.160 --> 00:00:12.839
you about what's going on, try to help you out
6
00:00:13.560 --> 00:00:14.960
and then give you some insight.
7
00:00:15.480 --> 00:00:17.760
It probably will help you get through.
8
00:00:18.559 --> 00:00:21.600
So, as you know, the markets went down this week
9
00:00:22.640 --> 00:00:24.280
again and we were looking for this.
10
00:00:25.000 --> 00:00:28.760
There's only down two percent. Okay, it's a lot and you.
11
00:00:28.800 --> 00:00:33.840
Lose money, but this is just the what you need
12
00:00:34.119 --> 00:00:36.520
in this type of volatility. If you remember the last
13
00:00:36.520 --> 00:00:39.200
couple of shows we talked about volatility, we talked about
14
00:00:39.479 --> 00:00:42.920
the market's probably giving us a decline, mitigate your risk,
15
00:00:43.200 --> 00:00:46.840
have cash on the side, cut back some positions, and wait.
16
00:00:47.399 --> 00:00:50.960
Patience is very, very, very important. So what do I
17
00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:52.880
think on a short term basis? Right now, on a
18
00:00:52.880 --> 00:00:55.679
short term basis, I think we probably have a maybe
19
00:00:55.679 --> 00:00:58.840
a little bit more ago, maybe not, with a little bounce,
20
00:00:58.880 --> 00:01:01.320
and then fall off again into the end of January
21
00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:03.759
and until February.
22
00:01:03.759 --> 00:01:06.120
And I can see us putting it a.
23
00:01:06.079 --> 00:01:10.200
Bottom at a lower place in sometime mid February to
24
00:01:10.319 --> 00:01:13.319
end of February and start working a way out back
25
00:01:13.359 --> 00:01:17.439
into March, in April and all. So look for opportunities
26
00:01:18.400 --> 00:01:20.879
on a decline, but don't stop doing it yet. If
27
00:01:20.920 --> 00:01:23.439
you haven't raised any money, if you haven't done anything,
28
00:01:23.719 --> 00:01:26.439
you're going to have an opportunity here. I think over
29
00:01:26.480 --> 00:01:29.920
the next maybe few trading days or whatever, this bounce occurs,
30
00:01:30.319 --> 00:01:33.079
but it's going to be a lower high, and then
31
00:01:33.079 --> 00:01:35.640
we're going to make it lower low, and then somewhere
32
00:01:35.719 --> 00:01:38.159
in there we'll find a pattern to buy what is
33
00:01:38.200 --> 00:01:41.840
creating this Well, on Friday, the job market came out
34
00:01:41.920 --> 00:01:45.799
and said two hundred and I think it was fifty
35
00:01:45.840 --> 00:01:49.760
nine thousand jobs, a lot more than anybody expected. And
36
00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:52.879
it's a hot economy, which tells you what. The Fed
37
00:01:52.959 --> 00:01:58.519
doesn't have to lower rates. In fact, people are now
38
00:01:58.519 --> 00:02:01.760
concerned they might have to raise rate because we will
39
00:02:01.799 --> 00:02:05.079
have inflation. We talked about this, We talked about how
40
00:02:05.120 --> 00:02:08.520
the why the Fed had lower rates before was beyond
41
00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:11.840
our imagination. We didn't understand it. We said that the
42
00:02:11.879 --> 00:02:13.719
markets aren't going to like the fact that if they
43
00:02:13.719 --> 00:02:16.120
go start having to go the other way. And the
44
00:02:16.240 --> 00:02:20.120
markets were telling you by interest rates, you saw them
45
00:02:20.159 --> 00:02:22.479
creeping up every time they Fed lower the rates that
46
00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:24.479
it was not the right thing to do, but that's
47
00:02:24.520 --> 00:02:27.000
what they did, and that's the scenario or in and
48
00:02:27.199 --> 00:02:30.319
now we have to deal with it. So they if
49
00:02:30.319 --> 00:02:33.680
we stay in this scenario, we're gonna have bounces, but
50
00:02:33.719 --> 00:02:35.919
the markets are gonna go lower with the anticipation of
51
00:02:35.960 --> 00:02:39.000
having to maybe low raise rates. The other confusion that's
52
00:02:39.000 --> 00:02:40.759
gonna be in there is when Trump comes in, you're
53
00:02:40.800 --> 00:02:43.280
still hearing about tariffs, You're hearing about this and having
54
00:02:43.360 --> 00:02:45.719
about that. You're going to see a ninety one hundred
55
00:02:45.800 --> 00:02:48.159
day plan. You're going to see it being very aggressive,
56
00:02:48.199 --> 00:02:49.719
and you're going to see the other side come out
57
00:02:49.719 --> 00:02:52.879
and say this is inflationary, this is this, this is crazy.
58
00:02:52.919 --> 00:02:55.960
This kid is not gonna work. And that's gonna spook
59
00:02:56.000 --> 00:03:00.080
the markets again. They weren't worried about Biden's inflation, but
60
00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:02.680
they're worried about what Trump might happen or whatever. But
61
00:03:02.719 --> 00:03:05.479
I'd rather have a business person not only in the
62
00:03:05.479 --> 00:03:07.960
White House, but in the Cabinet and every place else,
63
00:03:08.280 --> 00:03:11.800
billionaires who people don't want to talk about. They're making
64
00:03:11.800 --> 00:03:14.800
decisions on how we're going to fix this. We don't
65
00:03:14.840 --> 00:03:17.520
want to kill the economy. We just want to get
66
00:03:17.520 --> 00:03:19.960
inflation down. Well, it's real simple. You know how you
67
00:03:19.960 --> 00:03:25.400
get inflation down, demand and supply. You get more of
68
00:03:25.439 --> 00:03:28.840
a supply, you get equal to the demand. Prices stop
69
00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:34.199
going up. Eventually, prices start coming down. You stop raising
70
00:03:34.240 --> 00:03:38.120
minimum wages all over the place, You stop having to
71
00:03:38.199 --> 00:03:42.560
raise prices at every time. You turn around, and prices
72
00:03:42.599 --> 00:03:47.919
come down. We need a pause here so earnings can
73
00:03:47.960 --> 00:03:52.080
catch up. Your social security even though they've given you
74
00:03:52.199 --> 00:03:58.000
a cola, costs of living increase. Okay, guess what, it's
75
00:03:58.000 --> 00:04:00.479
not keeping up with the inflation and that we've had
76
00:04:00.520 --> 00:04:04.759
over the last four years, so you're still behind. You
77
00:04:04.800 --> 00:04:09.080
still can't buy the things you need to do. This
78
00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:15.439
will be fixed, regulations will be fixed. We will get
79
00:04:15.560 --> 00:04:21.399
energy prices down. When this happens, and the markets anticipate this,
80
00:04:21.560 --> 00:04:23.319
that's what make the markets go up to make new
81
00:04:23.360 --> 00:04:27.240
heights again. When the markets fall like this and the
82
00:04:27.279 --> 00:04:29.959
Dow Jones keep falling like this, it's a great time
83
00:04:30.399 --> 00:04:33.120
that you don't have to buy individual stocks by the indexes,
84
00:04:33.439 --> 00:04:36.439
especially the big stocks.
85
00:04:36.079 --> 00:04:37.759
Like in the Dow Jones. If you don't have an
86
00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:39.519
air to it. You know why.
87
00:04:40.639 --> 00:04:42.279
And I say this a lot, and I hope it
88
00:04:42.360 --> 00:04:45.680
sticks in the Dow Jones will always go up eventually
89
00:04:45.720 --> 00:04:50.480
and make a new high. The Dow Jones will always
90
00:04:50.480 --> 00:04:51.959
go up and make a new high. And that's the
91
00:04:52.000 --> 00:04:55.120
easiest one to know that would be the case. Why
92
00:04:55.800 --> 00:04:58.600
because when there's stocks that are not performing in the
93
00:04:58.639 --> 00:05:02.399
Dow Jones, what do they do. They removed them and
94
00:05:02.439 --> 00:05:05.160
they bring in the hottest stock that's doing well where
95
00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:10.000
the new economy is like bringing in the video, and
96
00:05:10.040 --> 00:05:13.120
then the Dow Jones will work out well until the
97
00:05:13.199 --> 00:05:18.360
video is no longer working. Remember Ge was in the
98
00:05:18.399 --> 00:05:23.040
Dow Jones forever until they were underperforming and they took
99
00:05:23.079 --> 00:05:25.560
them out and they put somebody else in. Don't be
100
00:05:25.639 --> 00:05:30.199
surprised to see Intel out soon and replace with a
101
00:05:30.240 --> 00:05:33.279
different technomy company that will be there. The Apple was
102
00:05:33.319 --> 00:05:37.319
not always in, all right, Walgreens was in. They took
103
00:05:37.360 --> 00:05:40.839
Walgreens out, they put something else in. The Dow Jones
104
00:05:40.959 --> 00:05:44.639
is just an index. When the index is not performing,
105
00:05:44.680 --> 00:05:46.319
and where there's stocks in the index that are not
106
00:05:46.360 --> 00:05:49.199
performing or the economy is changing, which means those are
107
00:05:49.199 --> 00:05:51.800
the companies that are getting hot, they change what goes
108
00:05:51.839 --> 00:05:55.079
into the Dow and thus when buying comes back in,
109
00:05:55.279 --> 00:05:57.560
the Dow comes up and eventually makes a new high.
110
00:05:57.839 --> 00:05:59.839
So put that in the back of your mind. It's
111
00:05:59.879 --> 00:06:02.160
a great way to know. If I want to have
112
00:06:02.199 --> 00:06:03.680
to see growth and I want to see stuff, you
113
00:06:03.720 --> 00:06:05.839
buy the Dow Jones when he gets knocked down hard.
114
00:06:06.240 --> 00:06:09.319
You know eventually at some time in the future, just
115
00:06:09.360 --> 00:06:11.360
got to wait it out. It'll make a new high
116
00:06:11.720 --> 00:06:14.600
and keep going from there. So with the market's all
117
00:06:14.639 --> 00:06:17.199
down now for the week of almost two percent, that
118
00:06:17.319 --> 00:06:20.639
down one percent now for the year, we haven't had
119
00:06:20.639 --> 00:06:23.120
a lot of trading days. We've been in this about
120
00:06:23.120 --> 00:06:25.560
a week and a half. Let's see where it goes.
121
00:06:25.839 --> 00:06:29.399
I would not be surprised if we see a bounce
122
00:06:29.439 --> 00:06:34.240
in the marketplace. Understand how to mitigate risk. Okay, it's
123
00:06:34.319 --> 00:06:36.480
just not a word. It's something that you have to
124
00:06:36.480 --> 00:06:38.959
look to do. That doesn't mean you don't lose. You
125
00:06:39.040 --> 00:06:41.639
will lose when it's going down, but you will mitigate risk,
126
00:06:41.680 --> 00:06:44.199
which means you don't lose as much. You can buy
127
00:06:44.240 --> 00:06:47.839
puts with your insurance. You can sell calls, which reduces
128
00:06:47.879 --> 00:06:51.079
the amount that you can lose. You can go buy
129
00:06:51.079 --> 00:06:56.519
the inverse funds, you can buy the inverse individual stock funds.
130
00:06:56.639 --> 00:06:59.240
There's a lot of things you can do to hedge
131
00:06:59.279 --> 00:07:02.839
your portfolio, but the biggest and easiest thing to do
132
00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:06.040
is to raise your cash position. If you'd like to
133
00:07:06.040 --> 00:07:09.560
be sixty seventy percent invested, go to fifty, go to
134
00:07:09.600 --> 00:07:10.240
forty five.
135
00:07:10.519 --> 00:07:11.639
The way, if it falls.
136
00:07:11.399 --> 00:07:15.839
Down, you got ten twenty thousand percent sitting in cash,
137
00:07:16.040 --> 00:07:18.240
earning four and a half percent or more. Right now,
138
00:07:18.399 --> 00:07:20.959
that you can put the work when the markets fall
139
00:07:21.199 --> 00:07:23.839
and just buy indexes if that's what you want. Does
140
00:07:23.879 --> 00:07:26.000
it take some work, yes, If you don't want to
141
00:07:26.000 --> 00:07:28.079
do the work, it's someone to do it and pay them.
142
00:07:29.839 --> 00:07:32.360
I mean now, fees are so low they average probably
143
00:07:32.399 --> 00:07:35.199
one percent across the board. Some are higher for the
144
00:07:35.279 --> 00:07:36.839
It depends on how much you have. Of course, if
145
00:07:36.879 --> 00:07:39.800
you have over a million, it's a one percent or less.
146
00:07:39.839 --> 00:07:41.199
If it's less than a million, is one in a
147
00:07:41.240 --> 00:07:43.360
quarter one and a half. Depending how much you have,
148
00:07:44.160 --> 00:07:46.560
that's a very small amount of money for someone else
149
00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:48.439
to be able to make these decisions, and you don't
150
00:07:48.439 --> 00:07:52.920
have to worry about it, because what happens is stress
151
00:07:53.519 --> 00:07:57.560
is the worst when the markets go down, because you
152
00:07:57.720 --> 00:08:01.319
start trying to make decisions on something you might not
153
00:08:01.399 --> 00:08:04.000
know about, and if you make the wrong decision. Like
154
00:08:04.000 --> 00:08:06.000
you get out in the market's giralley, you get upset.
155
00:08:06.040 --> 00:08:08.439
If you stay in and the markets go down, you
156
00:08:08.519 --> 00:08:11.480
get upset. But if you don't have to worry about it,
157
00:08:11.480 --> 00:08:13.839
and you know you did your plan, your financial plan,
158
00:08:14.360 --> 00:08:17.319
you're going to be in great shape. And that's why
159
00:08:17.360 --> 00:08:21.519
we've evolved into a family office, a true family office.
160
00:08:22.120 --> 00:08:24.120
Most of the time you hear what a family office is,
161
00:08:24.360 --> 00:08:26.959
it's someone that has money in office and they have
162
00:08:27.040 --> 00:08:31.480
all the people doing their taxes, they're investing, they're planning, alternavent,
163
00:08:31.519 --> 00:08:34.120
you name it to doing it. Well, we've done it
164
00:08:34.519 --> 00:08:37.039
for the smaller investor. You don't need fifty one hundred
165
00:08:37.080 --> 00:08:40.000
a billion dollars to have a family office. We've made
166
00:08:40.080 --> 00:08:44.320
our office a family office. We do the financial planning,
167
00:08:44.840 --> 00:08:47.600
we do the money management, We understand what your risk
168
00:08:47.679 --> 00:08:50.120
tolerance is, and we do it on an individual basis.
169
00:08:50.360 --> 00:08:54.080
We also work with our legal people that do a
170
00:08:54.159 --> 00:08:57.960
state planning, and then we do taxes all out of
171
00:08:57.960 --> 00:08:59.480
our office.
172
00:09:00.000 --> 00:09:00.840
Out of our office.
173
00:09:01.080 --> 00:09:03.919
That's the way we wanted to grow the company, and
174
00:09:03.960 --> 00:09:06.399
that's the way we are going to company. And that
175
00:09:06.440 --> 00:09:09.240
gives you the ability to know and trust the people
176
00:09:09.600 --> 00:09:12.320
that you're dealing with and all it is is, you know,
177
00:09:12.799 --> 00:09:15.200
we've had more people come in and do financial plans
178
00:09:15.679 --> 00:09:18.519
that I can believe. I mean, you know, the financial
179
00:09:18.519 --> 00:09:20.720
plans of yesteryear used to be just to go ahead
180
00:09:20.759 --> 00:09:23.279
and do a financial plan, and then they wanted to
181
00:09:23.279 --> 00:09:27.799
sell your protection and insurance and nothing else. The way
182
00:09:27.840 --> 00:09:31.000
we do the financial plan is trying to show you
183
00:09:31.320 --> 00:09:33.039
when your money's going to run out if you keep
184
00:09:33.080 --> 00:09:35.200
spending at a certain level, and what the odds are
185
00:09:35.320 --> 00:09:37.919
for doing that, or if you're not and you're in
186
00:09:37.960 --> 00:09:40.000
great shape, you're never going to run out of money,
187
00:09:40.000 --> 00:09:41.559
and you don't have to worry about the stress. We
188
00:09:41.600 --> 00:09:44.000
get to the point that you don't have to be
189
00:09:44.080 --> 00:09:47.240
stressed out. It's a very important part of what we do.
190
00:09:47.799 --> 00:09:49.600
And then we actually manage it. We don't give it
191
00:09:49.639 --> 00:09:53.679
off to somebody else. We manage it ourselves. We take
192
00:09:53.720 --> 00:09:58.320
the accountability. I've said this for twenty five years. It's
193
00:09:58.360 --> 00:10:00.440
not the person that tells you what to do that
194
00:10:00.480 --> 00:10:05.120
I respect. It's the person that presses the button and
195
00:10:05.200 --> 00:10:08.720
takes accountability for the prices you buy and the prices
196
00:10:08.759 --> 00:10:11.600
you sell and the returns on the account. How you
197
00:10:11.720 --> 00:10:15.759
do it with the people's are risk tolerance involved. Those
198
00:10:15.799 --> 00:10:18.600
are the people I respect in our business. There's tons
199
00:10:18.639 --> 00:10:22.200
of people out there newslat is economists telling you what
200
00:10:22.279 --> 00:10:25.000
they think. We tell you what we think. Whatever I
201
00:10:25.080 --> 00:10:28.799
think doesn't matter. It's how I handle it. Remember, I
202
00:10:28.840 --> 00:10:31.440
think the market's going down, we mitigate risk. If the
203
00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:34.000
market goes up, we're not doing as well. If the
204
00:10:34.000 --> 00:10:36.519
market goes down and we're mitigating risk, we're losing less,
205
00:10:36.519 --> 00:10:37.080
which is great.
206
00:10:37.120 --> 00:10:38.440
But when do we get out and when do we
207
00:10:38.480 --> 00:10:39.519
turn to go the other way?
208
00:10:39.759 --> 00:10:43.960
That's on us. A lot of people don't like that pressure.
209
00:10:46.000 --> 00:10:48.799
I don't look at as pressure. I look at it
210
00:10:48.799 --> 00:10:51.919
as what we do. Because of her experience doing this
211
00:10:52.240 --> 00:10:55.480
for managing money for almost forty years, teaching the young
212
00:10:55.519 --> 00:10:59.480
guys how to manage money, building a firm that's a
213
00:10:59.600 --> 00:11:05.240
total team effort, understanding the financial plan, knowing that everybody's
214
00:11:05.279 --> 00:11:08.720
a little bit different, Everyone has a little different risk tolerance,
215
00:11:08.840 --> 00:11:10.519
different goals, different needs.
216
00:11:11.279 --> 00:11:12.879
That's the trick to the whole thing.
217
00:11:13.480 --> 00:11:16.080
Knowing that you can make that relationship based on the
218
00:11:16.080 --> 00:11:18.799
people you're dealing with, and that's how we build it.
219
00:11:18.799 --> 00:11:19.919
This how we built the firm.
220
00:11:20.200 --> 00:11:23.720
We've built it since nineteen eighty eight right here in Tucson, Arizona,
221
00:11:23.960 --> 00:11:25.559
when I came in and said, I'm going to be
222
00:11:25.600 --> 00:11:27.159
on the other side of that seat. I'm gonna do
223
00:11:27.200 --> 00:11:30.480
something different over that desk, and I'm going to build
224
00:11:30.480 --> 00:11:34.960
a firm, fee based business on what clients want. Be
225
00:11:35.080 --> 00:11:38.360
on the same side as the client, not the broker,
226
00:11:38.919 --> 00:11:41.759
not the broker dealer, not the business. Be on the
227
00:11:41.799 --> 00:11:47.519
same side as the client, which means get rid of commissions.
228
00:11:49.200 --> 00:11:51.879
What do the commissions do? In your mind, It's like, okay,
229
00:11:51.879 --> 00:11:54.000
I got to buy this guy to sell that, and
230
00:11:54.039 --> 00:11:56.159
commissions used to be a lot higher than they are now.
231
00:11:56.480 --> 00:11:59.679
What all commissions do is create a scenario that you
232
00:11:59.879 --> 00:12:05.000
are in a position to benefit. In the person's mind, Okay,
233
00:12:05.080 --> 00:12:06.639
I sold this. If it goes up, why do you
234
00:12:06.679 --> 00:12:09.360
sell it if it goes down? Okay, thank you. If
235
00:12:09.360 --> 00:12:11.240
you buy something, it's what you then you do it.
236
00:12:11.320 --> 00:12:14.399
If you're selling something to buy, that's a double commission.
237
00:12:14.440 --> 00:12:16.200
That's what's on their mind. But if you're doing it
238
00:12:16.200 --> 00:12:19.840
without commission, if you're doing it because the only way
239
00:12:19.840 --> 00:12:22.240
you're going to make money is by fee, you're now
