00:00:00.840 --> 00:00:04.040
Good morning everybody. This is that time once again, Sunday morning,
2
00:00:04.040 --> 00:00:07.599
eight o'clock right here in seven ninety knst. It is
3
00:00:07.599 --> 00:00:09.759
the Money Matter Show with Dean Greenberg and arrest of
4
00:00:09.800 --> 00:00:12.519
the group from Greenberg Financial Group to bring you the
5
00:00:12.560 --> 00:00:16.359
best insights to what we think is happening in the
6
00:00:16.399 --> 00:00:20.519
markets and as money managers and how we're investing, what
7
00:00:20.640 --> 00:00:23.359
we're actually looking for and doing. It was not a
8
00:00:23.359 --> 00:00:27.039
good week obviously until Friday, but markets were down for
9
00:00:27.199 --> 00:00:29.879
the week. That was down over two percent, The SMP
10
00:00:30.120 --> 00:00:32.520
was down over two percent. Now as that was down
11
00:00:32.679 --> 00:00:36.679
just under two percent, Russell two thousand down almost five percent,
12
00:00:37.039 --> 00:00:40.240
and the equal weighted SMP was down three percent, and
13
00:00:40.280 --> 00:00:43.039
those were a little bit worse going into Friday. What
14
00:00:43.240 --> 00:00:45.799
caused all this, The cause of this was the Federal
15
00:00:45.840 --> 00:00:51.679
Reserve lowering interest rates into the face of possible inflation.
16
00:00:52.240 --> 00:00:54.679
Now they consider, oh it's only a quarter of point,
17
00:00:54.759 --> 00:00:59.920
it's not a big deal. We're trying to get to normality.
18
00:01:00.880 --> 00:01:04.640
But well, hotter than we expected. Remember the CPI, the
19
00:01:04.680 --> 00:01:08.439
PPI numbers came in hotter than expected. The PCE number,
20
00:01:08.480 --> 00:01:11.519
their inflation India that was down was a little bit
21
00:01:11.599 --> 00:01:14.680
less zero point one percent that came in on Friday.
22
00:01:15.319 --> 00:01:17.239
But at the end of the day it was confusion
23
00:01:17.319 --> 00:01:21.239
because at the end of the day Powell says we
24
00:01:21.359 --> 00:01:23.879
might not be able to lower rates as much as
25
00:01:24.000 --> 00:01:27.439
possible that we thought going into less. You remember this year,
26
00:01:27.480 --> 00:01:29.439
they thought there was going to be six, then four,
27
00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:32.159
we got two. Then they were talking about four or
28
00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:34.680
five next year. Now they're talking about two. They're always
29
00:01:34.719 --> 00:01:37.959
wrong and that's why my respect is with the people
30
00:01:37.959 --> 00:01:40.159
that actually pull the trigger and try to invest to
31
00:01:40.200 --> 00:01:43.159
make money, not the people that just blurbout things out
32
00:01:43.200 --> 00:01:45.319
of their mouth and say what they think is going
33
00:01:45.400 --> 00:01:48.480
to happen. It's a lot easier to talk, it's a
34
00:01:48.480 --> 00:01:51.640
lot harder to do. And remember that as you're investing,
35
00:01:51.719 --> 00:01:54.120
either your own money or whoever your advisors are, and
36
00:01:54.120 --> 00:01:56.640
what you're trying to do, it's all about the allocation,
37
00:01:57.079 --> 00:01:59.680
and it's all about mitigating risk, and it's all about
38
00:01:59.760 --> 00:02:03.040
under standing cords. In effect, this is the Moneymount of
39
00:02:03.079 --> 00:02:05.480
Show and it's brought to you by Greenberg Financial Group.
40
00:02:05.760 --> 00:02:09.039
Greenberg Financial Group is both the registered investment advisory and
41
00:02:09.080 --> 00:02:12.680
a broken dealer registered with the SEC. Members of CIPIC
42
00:02:12.759 --> 00:02:15.319
and members of FINRA.
43
00:02:15.919 --> 00:02:16.479
On the show, we.
44
00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:20.360
Talk about different products and different strategies. We also have
45
00:02:20.400 --> 00:02:25.159
our own ideas, our own thoughts. We differ, we tell
46
00:02:25.199 --> 00:02:28.759
you the way we think it is. We can differ
47
00:02:29.039 --> 00:02:33.639
and still communicate and get along. But it's all about risk.
48
00:02:33.719 --> 00:02:36.759
What is your risk tolerance? What is your risk ability?
49
00:02:37.199 --> 00:02:40.199
These markets are going to get volatile. I was telling
50
00:02:40.240 --> 00:02:42.240
you this for the last few weeks. Since markets are
51
00:02:42.280 --> 00:02:44.919
going to get volatile. Sony was too high. It will
52
00:02:44.960 --> 00:02:47.560
pull back. I'm not sure that it's done pulling back,
53
00:02:47.840 --> 00:02:51.039
but I thinking it might have pulled back enough right
54
00:02:51.080 --> 00:02:55.080
now for the Santa Claus rally. We were done pretty
55
00:02:55.080 --> 00:02:58.879
hard on Thursday, and then Friday we came in. We're down,
56
00:02:58.960 --> 00:03:01.400
and then we rallied back and we ran higher, then
57
00:03:01.400 --> 00:03:03.759
we pulled back at the end. There's a lot of
58
00:03:03.800 --> 00:03:06.560
different things going on there, some shortcovering, some other things.
59
00:03:06.599 --> 00:03:09.919
But we'll see what happens. Now in the end, we'll
60
00:03:09.919 --> 00:03:12.639
see what happens, because I think that we can see
61
00:03:12.919 --> 00:03:15.800
kind of see some buying come in. Remember, it will
62
00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:18.840
behoove every money manager who put all the lot of
63
00:03:18.879 --> 00:03:21.199
their money in in the month of December to get
64
00:03:21.199 --> 00:03:23.639
this market back up to where at least they were
65
00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:26.599
buying it before so they can go out in the
66
00:03:26.680 --> 00:03:32.199
year on good terms. And obviously the higher their portfolios
67
00:03:32.240 --> 00:03:35.879
are the biggest. Their bonuses are no different than everybody
68
00:03:35.960 --> 00:03:38.360
that manages money. The more money we have onunder management,
69
00:03:38.599 --> 00:03:40.639
the better off we do. So we always want to
70
00:03:40.719 --> 00:03:44.919
see the markets increase for us as much as possible.
71
00:03:45.199 --> 00:03:46.960
But the great thing is we're on the same side
72
00:03:46.960 --> 00:03:49.719
as you, because if you make more money, we make
73
00:03:49.759 --> 00:03:51.919
more money. You don't make as much money, we don't
74
00:03:51.960 --> 00:03:55.000
make as much money. It's that simple, And that's what
75
00:03:55.120 --> 00:03:59.000
I appreciate about how we manage money at Greenberg Financial Group,
76
00:03:59.120 --> 00:04:01.719
and how I appreciate eight others that do the same thing,
77
00:04:02.439 --> 00:04:07.879
same side, same way. Press the button, we decide allocations,
78
00:04:08.120 --> 00:04:11.960
who and how and make them set for everybody else.
79
00:04:12.599 --> 00:04:18.160
Like I said a little earlier, institutions, money managers, people
80
00:04:18.199 --> 00:04:21.839
putting money into mutual funds piled in in the month
81
00:04:22.120 --> 00:04:25.759
of December believing their markets would rally right to the
82
00:04:25.839 --> 00:04:30.079
end because they weren't coming down. We were surprised by
83
00:04:30.120 --> 00:04:35.879
how deep the markets were, how fast they fell on Thursday.
84
00:04:35.959 --> 00:04:39.680
But I really wasn't that Wednesday, I should say, And
85
00:04:39.720 --> 00:04:43.160
then on Thursday when it reversed that surprise because, as
86
00:04:43.199 --> 00:04:48.759
I always say, if you're having a party, people come
87
00:04:48.839 --> 00:04:53.639
between six and seven o'clock. They all walked through the
88
00:04:53.680 --> 00:04:58.800
same door. But there's a problem and everybody needs to
89
00:04:58.879 --> 00:05:01.600
leave that party at the same time time. Not everybody
90
00:05:01.600 --> 00:05:03.800
can leave the through that same door. They go out
91
00:05:03.839 --> 00:05:05.800
the back door, they go out windows, they jump off
92
00:05:05.800 --> 00:05:08.959
the roof, they get out. If there's a problem inside
93
00:05:09.000 --> 00:05:13.079
that party, think about that. It's easy to walk in,
94
00:05:14.319 --> 00:05:16.319
but if everyone wants to get out at the same time,
95
00:05:16.879 --> 00:05:18.720
you're not going out the same door, which is what
96
00:05:18.879 --> 00:05:23.040
created the sell off we had last week. I'm hoping
97
00:05:23.079 --> 00:05:25.199
that it got sold off at least on a short term.
98
00:05:25.399 --> 00:05:27.600
I believe we can rally into the end of the year,
99
00:05:27.920 --> 00:05:31.079
and then I'd be very cautious coming into January seeing
100
00:05:31.079 --> 00:05:37.160
how high we are because valuations haven't changed, inflation hasn't changed.
101
00:05:38.720 --> 00:05:42.279
We gave back almost everything from the Trump bump. We'll
102
00:05:42.279 --> 00:05:45.800
see where we're going. Great ideas, but as we saw
103
00:05:45.879 --> 00:05:51.800
last week, Congress is still dysfunctional. Congress still can't put
104
00:05:51.839 --> 00:05:55.879
together a spending bill. Congress still can't understand they got
105
00:05:55.879 --> 00:05:59.079
to stop spending. Congress still can't put together a budget,
106
00:05:59.240 --> 00:06:03.439
and they want to keep raising the debt limit both sides.
107
00:06:04.040 --> 00:06:10.800
We cannot do that. We're thirty six trillion dollars, they say,
108
00:06:11.959 --> 00:06:16.800
in debt. That's our debt, thirty six trillion. But we're
109
00:06:16.920 --> 00:06:20.439
one point a trillion budget. We don't bring in enough.
110
00:06:21.439 --> 00:06:25.639
We need to stop spending. And you can listen to Pelosi,
111
00:06:25.800 --> 00:06:28.120
you can listen to Shuma, you can listen to every
112
00:06:28.120 --> 00:06:31.720
freaking Democrat that's out there that tells you, oh, they're
113
00:06:31.800 --> 00:06:34.240
being run by the richest man in the world. He's
114
00:06:34.319 --> 00:06:36.759
telling them all to do. I'd rather be told what
115
00:06:36.879 --> 00:06:39.600
to do by the most successful man in the world
116
00:06:40.399 --> 00:06:43.240
than a bunch of government officials that tell you they
117
00:06:43.279 --> 00:06:47.839
need more government. That they tell you they need more money,
118
00:06:48.439 --> 00:06:50.800
that they need to keep doing it. The government is
119
00:06:50.839 --> 00:06:55.680
the one, according to them, that will make everything work. No,
120
00:06:56.759 --> 00:06:59.680
we are the ones. The people are the ones. The
121
00:06:59.720 --> 00:07:01.680
people the ones that have to go to work. The
122
00:07:01.800 --> 00:07:04.079
people are the ones that make the money. The people
123
00:07:04.120 --> 00:07:06.839
are the ones that spend. The economy is about how
124
00:07:06.959 --> 00:07:10.279
much money we can spend without putting ourselves in too
125
00:07:10.319 --> 00:07:12.600
much debt that we can't afford it. Well, the government
126
00:07:12.600 --> 00:07:15.000
should think of the same thing and finally, after all
127
00:07:15.040 --> 00:07:17.800
these years of being alive, I am so happy to
128
00:07:17.920 --> 00:07:24.279
see two people leading the charge to try to go
129
00:07:24.439 --> 00:07:30.120
ahead and get the government working as a business. So
130
00:07:30.199 --> 00:07:36.240
where's it start. It's very simple. It starts with spending
131
00:07:36.920 --> 00:07:42.519
and cutting the fat. It starts with these bloated audits
132
00:07:42.639 --> 00:07:46.120
that nobody can even tell you where the money is
133
00:07:46.160 --> 00:07:51.480
going to in the defense, DoD and Doe and everybody
134
00:07:51.480 --> 00:07:54.720
else that's out there. It will start with people actually
135
00:07:54.759 --> 00:07:57.480
having to go to work. It will start with people
136
00:07:57.519 --> 00:07:59.920
that have to go ahead and either go into those
137
00:08:00.040 --> 00:08:02.439
buildings or get rid of the office space that we
138
00:08:02.519 --> 00:08:05.439
spend billions of dollars on. It will start with the
139
00:08:05.480 --> 00:08:08.079
big and start and end with the small. It will
140
00:08:08.079 --> 00:08:12.519
start with people complaining that they are getting fired if
141
00:08:12.560 --> 00:08:15.399
they don't want to go to work. Oh, poor them,
142
00:08:15.639 --> 00:08:19.879
poor government officials. They want to work from home. Well,
143
00:08:19.920 --> 00:08:22.360
you and I got to get up, go on the bus,
144
00:08:22.399 --> 00:08:24.240
do whatever we got to do to get to work,
145
00:08:25.000 --> 00:08:27.360
drive our cars, pay for cars, do the things we
146
00:08:27.480 --> 00:08:31.600
need to do. Yes, there are some jobs you can
147
00:08:31.639 --> 00:08:33.879
be at home because your territory is so big and
148
00:08:33.919 --> 00:08:37.919
that's your home base. But even those people have a
149
00:08:38.000 --> 00:08:41.039
home base at some place where the home office is
150
00:08:41.200 --> 00:08:41.799
that they.
151
00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:43.080
Fly to every once in a while.
152
00:08:45.000 --> 00:08:51.639
The government officials have the nerve to put a pork
153
00:08:52.039 --> 00:08:56.440
belly filled build together to go ahead and pass for
154
00:08:56.519 --> 00:09:00.960
the spending. I'm appalled at this time that they don't
155
00:09:01.200 --> 00:09:05.279
get it. The Democrats don't get it. This is what
156
00:09:05.320 --> 00:09:08.240
they've been doing the entire time while they've been in power,
157
00:09:08.799 --> 00:09:11.279
putting stuff in the bills just to pass them to
158
00:09:11.440 --> 00:09:12.799
go ahead and keep.
159
00:09:12.639 --> 00:09:14.720
Spending and spending and spending.
160
00:09:15.960 --> 00:09:19.240
Going ahead again, what was another one hundred and eighty
161
00:09:19.240 --> 00:09:23.360
five billion or four hundred billion dollars worth of student
162
00:09:23.399 --> 00:09:30.799
loans for forgiveness again under the usper under the umbrella,
163
00:09:30.919 --> 00:09:34.120
saying these are officials that were supposed to get it.
164
00:09:34.200 --> 00:09:39.120
They are public officials, public workers, public servants, all the stuff.
165
00:09:39.919 --> 00:09:43.879
I want to see it, prove it. And have they
166
00:09:43.919 --> 00:09:47.320
been paying on time or they've just been not paying
167
00:09:47.360 --> 00:09:47.799
at all?
168
00:09:49.320 --> 00:09:50.519
Okay, I don't.
169
00:09:50.279 --> 00:09:55.120
Want to reward anybody that hasn't kept their payments up
170
00:09:55.200 --> 00:09:58.759
at the minimum that they're supposed to. And just because
171
00:09:58.799 --> 00:10:00.799
it's overwhelming, saying oh no, you don't have to worry
172
00:10:00.840 --> 00:10:03.480
about it, while other people working their butts off to
173
00:10:03.679 --> 00:10:05.960
try to pay their credit card bills or other bills
174
00:10:05.960 --> 00:10:11.320
to keep their credit intact. It's not fair, and it's
175
00:10:11.320 --> 00:10:14.519
about time. We're going to see fairness right across the board.
176
00:10:16.639 --> 00:10:19.919
You're gonna hear people moaning and groaning. And I promise
177
00:10:19.960 --> 00:10:22.759
you everyone that's moaning and groaning are the ones that
178
00:10:22.840 --> 00:10:25.679
don't want to work, that have had it easy and
179
00:10:25.840 --> 00:10:29.759
continue to get a paycheck. Now they are government workers
180
00:10:29.759 --> 00:10:32.000
that work their butts off, that are great at what
181
00:10:32.039 --> 00:10:36.159
they do. They'll have to go to work and they'll
182
00:10:36.200 --> 00:10:39.960
probably enjoy it because now they will have the opportunity
183
00:10:40.320 --> 00:10:43.320
to earn the right to move up and make more money.
184
00:10:43.440 --> 00:10:46.759
Because the others will go ahead and pretty much quit
185
00:10:47.279 --> 00:10:52.159
or retire themselves, depending on how old they are. It's
186
00:10:52.240 --> 00:10:56.360
time to streamline. It's time to streamline our tax code.
187
00:10:56.720 --> 00:10:59.919
It's time to streamline how we pay our taxes. Intea,
188
00:11:00.000 --> 00:11:03.679
they are going ahead and putting eighty five billion dollars
189
00:11:03.720 --> 00:11:08.919
to the irs or whatever they gave to them. It's
190
00:11:08.960 --> 00:11:13.080
time to streamline it so you and everybody else can
191
00:11:13.120 --> 00:11:18.639
go ahead that have simple tax returns and you send
192
00:11:18.639 --> 00:11:23.120
them in and pay everyone's Oh they can is complicated? No,
193
00:11:23.240 --> 00:11:25.799
you know what, it's not complicated because you see in
194
00:11:25.799 --> 00:11:28.320
the spending bill, the Democrats and all put together a bill.
195
00:11:29.200 --> 00:11:34.159
The first one that goes through fifteen hundred pages. The
196
00:11:34.200 --> 00:11:36.080
second one that goes through is about one hundred and
197
00:11:36.080 --> 00:11:41.120
sum odd pages. You can simplify things if you want to.
198
00:11:41.279 --> 00:11:47.799
You can simplify things if you just try. And of
199
00:11:47.840 --> 00:11:49.840
course everyone's gonna say they can't do this and they
200
00:11:49.879 --> 00:11:52.320
can't do that. Well, I'll of rather the people saying
201
00:11:52.360 --> 00:11:54.320
you can't do this and you can't do that are
202
00:11:54.360 --> 00:11:56.360
the ones that are sitting back, while the other ones
203
00:11:56.360 --> 00:11:58.879
that have done are the ones gonna get it done.
204
00:11:59.600 --> 00:12:01.879
You're gonna here so much, You're going to see so
205
00:12:01.960 --> 00:12:04.639
many things happening, and what you're going to do is
206
00:12:04.879 --> 00:12:09.320
try to understand that we're moving in the right direction.
207
00:12:10.159 --> 00:12:15.039
It's time that we simplify. It's time that we make
208
00:12:15.080 --> 00:12:19.159
the government smaller. Use the government for protection, use the
209
00:12:19.159 --> 00:12:22.759
government for disasters, use the government for what it was
210
00:12:22.799 --> 00:12:23.960
supposed to be for.
211
00:12:25.399 --> 00:12:28.679
Give the rest of it to the states. Education should
212
00:12:28.679 --> 00:12:29.639
go to the states.
213
00:12:30.440 --> 00:12:33.080
Then there's nobody we can blame in Arizona that we're
214
00:12:33.159 --> 00:12:38.200
number forty seven, forty eight in their country. When we
215
00:12:38.320 --> 00:12:41.440
got a few pockets of schools doing very well while
216
00:12:41.480 --> 00:12:46.519
the others, the rest of them are just maintaining mediocurity
217
00:12:46.639 --> 00:12:50.960
needs to go away. We need to be strong again.
218
00:12:53.000 --> 00:12:55.240
I'm looking forward to it, and I think you are too.
219
00:12:55.720 --> 00:13:00.120
I think it's going to be quite a difference. The
220
00:13:00.120 --> 00:13:03.080
things I start seeing, too, is that the media is
221
00:13:03.120 --> 00:13:06.120
starting to kind of come more to the center. Let's
222
00:13:06.159 --> 00:13:08.480
not beat him up so much anymore. Let's see what
223
00:13:08.519 --> 00:13:10.600
he can do, because you don't what they were so long.
224
00:13:11.559 --> 00:13:14.480
Look at the ratings. Look at the ratings on CNN,
225
00:13:14.519 --> 00:13:19.200
look at the ratings on MSNBC. Look at the ratings
226
00:13:19.200 --> 00:13:22.120
on how many less viewers they are seeing right now
227
00:13:23.200 --> 00:13:27.600
because people who realize they were lied to. This whole
228
00:13:27.600 --> 00:13:31.279
thing with this Biden administration was a bunch of malaukeey.
229
00:13:32.840 --> 00:13:35.240
He wasn't doing well for a few years, and they
230
00:13:35.279 --> 00:13:37.519
tried to stand them up and prop them up as
231
00:13:37.559 --> 00:13:42.600
if well, we were Bernie's whatever. That was the one that,
232
00:13:42.759 --> 00:13:50.080
uh would Bernie that at the Hamptons. Okay, The bottom
233
00:13:50.120 --> 00:13:53.679
line is someone else is trying to run the country,
234
00:13:53.720 --> 00:13:55.480
and we don't know who it is. At least when
235
00:13:55.480 --> 00:13:58.000
Trump's running it, we know who it is. If there's
236
00:13:58.000 --> 00:14:01.399
ideas coming from Musk we know it's coming from them.
237
00:14:01.440 --> 00:14:03.480
If it's coming from other people, we know it's coming
238
00:14:03.519 --> 00:14:06.919
from them. Because you know why Trump tells us everyone
239
00:14:06.960 --> 00:14:10.039
says it's about him, his narcissism. He doesn't like women,
