Podcasts about CMT

It's the start of a new quarter, which means it's time for a market recap and our special “Ask Monument Anything” segment. David Armstrong, CFA, gets back together with Erin Hay, CFA, CMT, and Nate Tonsager, CIPM, to walk through the latest market moves, where momentum is showing up, and what investors should be paying attention to. This quarter, they dig into alternatives, gold's surprising surge, and whether today's bull market has more room to run. They also share candid thoughts on cash, dividends, and why being intentional with your portfolio matters more than chasing the latest trend. It's a thoughtful look at what's shaping the markets today and how those themes might matter for investors moving forward. Tune in!!

This Episodes Questions: Brians Questions: I've been making music boxes and trying to replicate the traditional style (see attached photos). I'm struggling to get the curved edge just right. I've tried using a planer, but I keep messing up and have ended up wasting a lot of boards. Router round-overs almost work, but still need planed or sanded after routing to get the shape just right, and also they're pretty dangerous given the small and awkward size of the pieces—I'm working with ¾-inch thick wood that's 2.5 inches high for the box sides. I'd like a repeatable process that provides consistent shapes, but can't seem to find a way to achieve it.  Advice? Trish I've heard a few of your podcasts where you speak about making boxes and using a router to make the miter. I'm assuming you're using a bit with a 45° angle. What I don't understand is, how do you get the sides to be the exact same length while using your router table. It would seem to me that having the top of the angle (the point of the angle) against the fence would be almost impossible to get perfectly sized sides.  Can you please describe what I am missing here, since a perfect 45° angle using a route a bit seems incredibly simple. Mike G. Guys Questions: I have always tried to select straight grain for legs, aprons, stretchers and the frame of a frame and panel.  I am now thinking this may be too much straight grain in a piece of furniture. When are the times that you would not do this and would instead use a more interesting grain pattern in these pieces.  Does the wood species affect your choice? For example, it seems like the current trend with walnut is not worrying about getting any straight grain in the pieces at all.  Thanks for all your help. Jeff Hi from Melbourne Australia. I've been listening for years, and I like how y'all do things! Thanks for making the best woodworking pod. Like everyone, I have a small shop, that I fit a lot into. Without listing every item… I've got stationary machines covered with a euro style slider (Hammer K3), a 14” bandsaw (N4400) and a combo planer/thicknesser (A3-31). Those 3 cover my needs really well, and I've learned to work within the capacity of my tools and space. It's the secondary/benchtop machines that are causing trouble. Mitre saw was first to go. Don't miss it, don't need it. I'm looking at sanders next. The disc sander stays, couldn't live without it. But the 1632 drum sander and the oscillating bobbin sander are both rarely used and take up space I want back. Could you life without them? If not, what's the essential job they do for you? I'm usually making furniture sized objects. With the finish I get off the helical thicknesser, I find that hand planes/scrapers, ROS, and hand sanding is usually all I need. For bigger flat things, I'm gonna pay a pro shop to put it thru a wide belt sander anyway. Johnny Huys Questions: I was trained on a belt sander, and as Guy has mentioned, there is a learning curve. I'm now very proficient with one and it is a central part of my stock prep: from the planer, I belt sand a rough-sized board with 80 grit, wet it down and let it dry to raise any remaining compression marks from the planer, and then belt sand with 120. I then cut the board to final dimension, random orbital sand with 120, cut the joinery, and then random orbital sand the fitted piece to 180 before final assembly. The process leaves flawless surfaces every time. For panel glue-ups and tabletops, I glue up from the planer using cauls and then make sure the 80 grit belt sanding that follows evens out any discrepancies in height along the joints (hopefully they are minimal). I have zero experience with a drum sander, but I would consider getting one if it could replace some of the above belt sanding, as the belt sander is no light weight hand tool, and it's a killer on my back when I have to sand a full width dining table. I would likely get the PM2244, as I have heard it is the easiest to adjust. You all have mentioned that a drum sander does NOT offer a finish ready surface, as it leaves sanding ridges along the workpiece. This is not a problem in my workflow if it replaces the belt sander. My questions: Are these ridges similar to what I get with the belt sander for a given grit, or are they deeper, requiring by comparison to the belt sander extra time on the following grit? Since I am not seeking to dimension or flatten, but merely prep the surface for the next grit, would one pass in the drum sander for each grit be enough, or am I looking at multiple passes per grit? With a belt sander, there is a lot of back and forth, but with a drum sander I'm wondering if a single pass through will give the same result. How easy and fast is it to change the grit on a drum sander if I want to run 80 grit and then 120 in each sanding session? A dual drum unit is not in the budget. Finally, how reasonable is it to get good results sanding a tabletop that exceeds the width of the sander (i.e., the 22 in the Powermatic) but is within the bounds of the larger number (here, the 44)? With some practice, can I get reliable results, or does this just create more work after sanding, where I'll likely be pulling out the belt sander to even out a center ridge anyway? Keep in mind this could include tabletops from small night stands to full 8' dining tables. As a professional shop, the whole endeavor would be to save me some time and labor. Is it worth getting a drum sander for my workflow, or should I just stick to the belt sander? Michael After listening to your podcast this week I listened with interest the question that was posted by Jose about track saw blade deflection and you guys had a great response.  Unfortunately I was hoping that you would address the issue that I'm having with my Makita SP 6000 unit.  I bought this unit a couple of years ago and despite great reviews have been a little disappointed.  The saw seems to be underpowered.  It struggles getting through material whether its 3/4" plywood or thicker hardwood.  I started with the stock Makita blade 165x20 48 tooth then with with a CMT 165x20 24 tooth and am currently using a Ridge Carbide TRK16048A 48 tooth blade.  I have a Festool extractor and using Makita tracks.  The problem is the saw bogs down (I have to creep with the feed rate  and still have the issue although not as bad) and burning.  Also sometimes the right side of the track edges up where two tracks join causing the saw to catch.  I have the good TSO GRC12 track connectors.  The Makita ones are junk.  I What's up with this?  Do I need to move this thing out the door, bite the bullet and buy a Festool? Love the podcast. Tom

Stijn Schmitz welcomes Garrett Goggin to the show. Garrett Goggin is CFA, CMT, MBA, GOLD ANALYST, & Founder of The Golden Portfolio. In this in-depth discussion, Goggin provides a comprehensive overview of the current gold market, highlighting significant global financial shifts and unprecedented economic conditions driving gold's value. Goggin argues that the current gold market is fundamentally different from previous cycles, citing massive U.S. debt (now at $37 trillion), foreign central banks moving away from U.S. treasuries, and increasing gold purchases. He believes the gold market has substantial room for growth, noting that average investors currently have less than 1% of their assets invested in gold. The analyst is particularly bullish on gold mining companies, especially developers with undervalued assets. He emphasizes finding opportunities where market valuations significantly lag the intrinsic net asset value (NAV) of mining projects. Goggin's investment strategy focuses on high-grade exploration projects, developers near production, and royalty companies, which he considers the lowest-risk gold investment strategy. Management quality is crucial in Goggin's analysis. He looks for executives who create shareholder value, avoid excessive dilution, and have a track record of building successful mining operations. His portfolio approach involves equal-weighting investments across multiple holdings, allowing winners to naturally grow in portfolio allocation. Regarding market sentiment, Goggin believes the "masses aren't here yet" in the gold market. He anticipates institutional investors will be "drawn kicking and screaming" into gold as traditional assets become overvalued. He's especially interested in the potential silver market, which he sees as currently undervalued relative to gold. Goggin's Golden Portfolio, which includes royalty investments and developer/explorer positions, has reportedly achieved impressive returns, with his GPIV product up 500% in two years. He remains confident that significant value opportunities exist in the gold mining sector, driven by fundamental economic shifts and undervaluation of quality mining assets.

Jordan Roy-Byrne, CMT, MFTA, Editor and Publisher of The Daily Gold, and author of the book “Gold & Silver – The Greatest Bull Market Has Begun – A Once In A Lifetime Investment Opportunity”, joins us to review his medium-term technical outlook for the precious metals space, some potential targets and approaches if we see an intermediate-term corrective move in the gold and silver stocks, and some nuanced approaches for when to buy, hold, or trim positions in ones portfolio.      Key topics discussed:   Gold looks to be still breaking out of the recent bull flag, and may have a little room left to run to upside targets of $3,900 - $3,950.   The short to medium-term picture is a bit more murky, and so it is unclear if gold has the energy to blast up past $4,000-$4,200, completing the logarithmic extension of the longer-term 13-year cup and handle pattern breakout, before putting in a more meaningful corrective move, or…   After this current moves tops, then we'll likely see a more meaningful correction to digest these moves. Investors and traders will need to get clear on their strategy of whether they want to just hold through that period and add to positions with cash reserves once it is extended, or if they want to get out of the way of the move down.   If GDX and GDXJ both correct down by 20%-25% then some of the juniors may go down about double that by 40%-50%. Investors should have a strategy in advance of how they want to approach that kind of scenario in the portfolio or watch list, should that play out in the medium-term.   With regards to when to trim, Jordan advises that there are 3 scenarios that he considers: 1) if a position has become to large of a weighting within one's portfolio. (2) if a longer term 3-5 year chart shows a stock has done a huge parabolic rhino horn, as there is likely not as good of a risk/reward setup at this point (3) if the fundamentals drivers for a stock have changed or lack the value creation catalysts over the next 12-18 months.   He also goes on to unpack why he currently has a higher concentration to silver stocks than is typical, when compared to his normal weighting to gold positions, when we are at this point in the cycle, where silver has started to lead.   Jordan also shares why he's positioned in more developers and producers in his portfolio than explorers at this point in the cycle. He is seeing the biggest value in the developers with defined ounces in the ground and improving economic studies based on the higher metals prices.   Click here for exclusive stock picks and Jordan's deeper analysis at The Daily Gold.

On the latest episode of Totally 80s and 90s Recall, Dave and Rob dive into 90s Country Vol. 3, revisiting an era when Nashville was churning out some of the most beloved crossover hits in music history. The duo shares their favorite tracks from artists like Garth Brooks, Shania Twain, and Brooks & Dunn, unpacking the stories behind the songs and why they resonated so strongly with audiences at the time. They'll go over some of their absolute favorites in that era as they put together a playlist worthy of any honky tonk anywhere in the world.They discuss everything from Country music to Jodie Foster, Elle Macpherson and Mutt Lange. Beyond the nostalgia, Dave and Rob explore why country music exploded in popularity during the decade. They point to the way artists struck the perfect balance between tradition and modern polish, creating a sound that felt both fresh and familiar. With the rise of music videos on CMT and the massive appeal of arena tours, country music became more accessible than ever. The genre's storytelling connected deeply with listeners across America, while its production quality rivaled pop and rock radio. For Dave and Rob, revisiting this era isn't just about the songs themselves—it's about remembering how 90s country became a cultural force that defined a generation.

Episode Summary: Aging is not for the faint of heart. But weight gain, illness, and infirmity do not have to be a way of life in our older years. The Bible has much to say about energy, vitality, healthy living, and aging gracefully. Taking care of our bodies is not selfish: it’s critical. Scripture reminds us that our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit. If we don’t take care of our bodies, they won’t take care of us. What is it we need to know to age well? In honor of Women's Health & Fitness Day, we are thrilled to welcome Shemane Nugent, (wife of Ted Nugent) a fitness instructor with over forty-three years of experience, author of Abundantly Well, and a passionate advocate for aging gracefully. What if you could feel healthier and happier without giving up your favorite foods or spending hours at the gym? In this episode, Shemane will share her favorite tips for staying in shape, feeling energized, and embracing vitality in your forties, fifties, sixties, and beyond. Together, we’ll explore how simple daily choices can ignite passion and purpose, no matter your age. Quotables from the episode: Those things that bring us to our knees, I believe bring us closer to God. And there have been a lot of people who have been through so much worse than I have. When we are, you know, trying to navigate through the storm. You can read every self -help book, and I did, and you can call out to God, and I did, and sometimes it might not happen overnight but it brings us to our knees, I believe bring us closer to God. Regardless of what situation or circumstance you're in, God has a plan for you. I am an unlikely messenger. Being healthy is an inside job. We tend to second guess ourselves. Regardless of where they're at in their life, especially where they're at in their health journey, I want to be your cheerleader. I want to come alongside you and advocate for you because I know it's not easy. I do have 44 years of experience in the health and wellness industry. I've taught just about every Fitness modality from step to spinning. I trained with Johnny G the guy who created spinning to slide to body pump to of course Zumba has been my favorite. I trained and developed programs for Zumba, traveled all around the world, training instructors and teaching probably, I don't know, 100,000 people, 100,000 classes. I mean, just having the time of my life, but that doesn't matter if you don't have joy inside, if you don't find your purpose. The baggage that we all carry with us into adulthood, if you had to put a weight on something that happened to you, when you were a kid, you know, somebody said something terrible to you and you still think about that, think about how much, just put a 10 pounds, 20 pounds, think about carrying that baggage around all the time and what your life would be like if you could just let go of it. As soon as I know that I'm awake, I don't even open my eyes. I say a prayer of gratitude, thanking God for my health and my family's health. That is number one for me. I think it's that first couple of steps that are the hardest. Yes, today was cold. It was dreary. I didn't want to exercise, and I do exercise regularly. But so yesterday, I just made an agreement with myself, just go do it for five minutes. Yes, five minutes. And you know what? 35 minutes later, I was so glad that I attempted the five minutes because it's that getting started. And so, friends, listen to what Shemane is saying. Maybe you just need an accountability partner. Maybe you need to text back and forth and say, okay, I'm going to make myself walk today. Hold me accountable tomorrow. There's something about being accountable that creates that momentum. What role does your faith play in your approach to health and wellness? - It's everything. And especially the last, I would say five years, but 10 probably overall, I've done a deep dive into spiritual warfare, the devil comes to steal, kill, and destroy. What better way than to make you doubt yourself, to destroy your health, your family's health? I do have a chapter in this book about spiritual warfare, and for me, faith is everything. Faith is everything that helps me get through the day. God is with us and He's there with us at a right hand and he will walk us through the storm. And sometimes we think we put too much pressure on ourselves to be perfect. He knows that we're not. And I think he loves it when we admit that, when we repent, and we just move forward. Every day we are so blessed, to have another day to start again, try again. And I want to encourage people to do that as So, not be too hard on yourself. That's a good piece of grace -filled advice. When I talk to patients, when I talk to my audience about self-care, that includes self -compassion. Extending grace to ourselves, it's so much harder sometimes for us to extend grace to ourselves that we would extend to a friend. Plan ahead of time, so that when the time comes, you don’t have any excuses to make poor choices. Aging gracefully incorporates our thought life. If we were gentler and kinder to ourselves. I think we would also be gentler and kinder to others when we're tempted to criticize because we often criticize because we're feeling bad about ourselves. She meant if we would come back to what God says, God says we are fearfully and wonderfully made. God says we are the apple of His eye. God says He delights over us with singing. If that's not reason to celebrate us without the makeup and the fancy hair and the fancy clothes, I don't know what is because God looks at the heart. Any plan to age gracefully has to look at what's going on in our heart and what's going on in our thought life. 46:12. I remember just having a sliver of hope, just a tiny little bit of hope. Sometimes that's all we need to get through the day. Focus on the good things focus on the positive things focus on that that open not just opened door, not an open window, but just maybe the windows cracked a little bit. We've got to really count our blessings and be grateful for those things that we have. I think I learned this from my mother, she was very complimentary towards other people. And when I first see somebody, like my friend the other day, I saw her, I'm like, you look really good. Let's compliment each other. Let's start from a perspective of joy and providing other people.

Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) has grown into a $500 million market in 2024, underscoring the remarkable demand for connected care solutions. This growth is more than just a number—it reflects a structural shift in how Medicare is approaching primary care.   By Editor-in-Chief, Concierge Medicine Today/The DocPreneur Leadership Podcast   Fall/Winter 2025 - In many ways, RPM and Chronic Care Management (CCM) represent Medicare's attempt to move primary care away from a purely fee-for-service model and toward a capitated, ongoing care structure built around a flat monthly fee. It's not concierge medicine, but in practice, it mirrors some of the principles: continuous monitoring, proactive management, and stronger patient-provider connection.   Unlike CCM, which has seen slower traction, RPM adoption has been swift and widespread. The Office of Inspector General (OIG) has expressed concerns in recent reports, but this very scrutiny highlights the scale of adoption and the significant investment in ongoing monitoring that the U.S. healthcare system has never truly embraced before.

Jordan Roy-Byrne, CMT, MFTA, Editor and Publisher of The Daily Gold, and author of the book “Gold & Silver – The Greatest Bull Market Has Begun – A Once In A Lifetime Investment Opportunity”, joins us to review his medium-term technical outlook for the precious metals space, the potential paths towards an interim top and corrective move in the gold and silver stocks, and the bigger-picture intermarket analysis themes that complicate this path forwards.    Key topics discussed:   The shorter-term to medium-term technical pattern in gold is a bit murky, on whether:   it will just make a $200-$300 run higher and then top out, or… if it has the energy to blast up past $4,000-$4,200, completing the logarithmic extension of the longer-term 13 year cup and handle pattern breakout, before putting in a more meaningful corrective move, or… if what we are seeing now is really more of a false breakout that is already hitting buying exhaustion and is going to run out of steam in these overbought readings.   When looking at the gold stocks, via GDX and GDXJ, the breadth signals that 75% of stocks inside these ETFS have been making new 52-week highs over the last week, coupled with overbought readings on the longer duration charts, has him watching for the conditions where the gold stocks may quit advancing as aggressively, and top out and turn down before gold does.  He notes that we are definitely not in the early stages of this move, but rather we are much closer to the end of this current move up in gold stocks, before reaching an area where pricing will roll over and consolidate to the downside for a period of time.   What complicates this outlook is that the gold stocks in the GDX and GDXJ just broke out against the 60/40 portfolio of US general equities and bonds, and that there is a lot of institutional capital still very underweight this sector that wants to come in and get into position.  This may mean that pullbacks are immediately bought up, and that corrective targets are not hit.  He mentions that the recent corrective move in gold didn't even reach the 200-day moving average as an example before ramping back higher again.   This is all symptomatic of a larger bull market process underway.   With regards to silver, the pricing has approached overhead resistance at the $41-$42 level as anticipated, and he is watching here to see if this is where the metal may pause and regroup at a lower level, before building the energy to make it definitively through the $42 resistance zone in the move to test the all-time high at $50 at a later date.   He points out that a lot of the silver stocks have been going through the roof with rhino-horn moves, and that many of these stocks should be “rented but not owned for the longer-term.”   There is a lack of quality silver-focused projects and companies of size, and many “base metals companies parading around as silver stocks,” and that investors should be careful in this space and know what they own and what the value drivers are.   Click here for exclusive stock picks and Jordan's deeper analysis at The Daily Gold.     Investment disclaimer:  This content is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, an offer, or a solicitation to buy or sell any security.

This Episodes Questions Brians Questions Hi guys. I've listened to every episode of the podcast and some of them more than once. Really appreciate all of the insights you give. It makes my commute much more fun and I've learned a ton! This question is primarily for Brian. I've heard you all poke fun at him for using Excel to plan his projects on multiple occasions. I'm very curious to learn more about how he accomplishes this. I understand that he makes each cell square and draws, but maybe he could give us a little tutorial. What cell height and width does he use? What does each cell represent (an inch, six inches, a foot?). Any other of the steps you use would be super helpful. I'm planning on a built-in set of cabinets coming up and I thought I'd give your method a shot. Pete Hello Guys I am looking into getting a router table. Based on your experience which would be a better option. A full size stand alone router table or a router table insert for my table saw. I have plenty of space and I am looking to spend around $600 to $700. Is a router lift an important add on. Thanks for all the knowledge you all give and keep that PMA (positive mental attitude) going. Thanks Korey from Independence, KY Guys Questions Gentlemen I listen to every podcast and invariably learn something from your answers to the questions.  Keep up the great work. I have a Canadian made 14 inch General thickness planer that is about 40 years old and it has been working well and reliably over the years.  Lately I noticed that one edge of a full width (14 inch) board is about .7 mm (28/1000 inch)thicker when compared to the other.  It may have always done this but I am edge jointing  some wide boards into panels and the variation in thickness means I have to hand plane the joints.  There is no way to adjust the base to make it parallel to the cutter head.  I almost always use a sled so I could adjust it to offset the inequality.  My question is am I being a bit too fussy with the small difference?  Would you accept this level of planing inaccuracy when working in your own shop? Bob Vergette, Pender Island BC, Canada Here is my next question.  I am making a shadowbox out of walnut. I want to put brass splines on the corners.  I built a spline jig and I purchased a new CMT 201.024.10 Industrial Ripping Saw Blade, 10-Inch. x 24 Teeth FTG Grind with 5/8-Inch. Bore, PTFE Coating.  This blade measures 1/8 with calipers across two of the carbide tips. However the cut comes in at 5/32. The brass I purchased is exactly 1/8”   This leaves very small but noticeable gap.  I've also tried with another blade and got the same results. What suggestions or tips you may have to get that saw kerf to 1/8 inch?  I may next try a slightly larger thickness of brass and file/sand it down but that will be more work. I hate to say this but guys on Youtube make it look easy and have no gaps, but don't provide the tips and how they got such tight fits. Thanks in advance! Dudley @ Pappys Hangar Huys Questions Gents, what a great podcast! I love the format, the focus on answering questions, and the valuable information. I especially like hearing Guy's perspectives who's both a pro and a hobbyist. Thanks and keep it up. I've been woodworking as a hobbyist for about 50 years - yes I'm older than Guy but not dying anytime soon thanks to my Sawstop - but just now getting into spray finishing. I have heard Guy talk numerous times about using pigmented water based conversion varnish. I have an upcoming project involving kitchen cabinet door panels that need to be finished to match the existing which is conversion varnish tinted to match Benjamin Moore Linen White. Because I have also heard Guy saying he gets his finishes from Target Coatings, I contacted them but was told they do not tint their conversion varnish and I would need to tint it myself. Their suggestion though is to apply their pigmented water based lacquer for the color match, and then coat that with their polycarbonate urethane for durability comparable to the conversion varnish. That two-step process sounds cumbersome compared to one step conversion varnish. So the question is do you get your pigmented conversion varnish elsewhere? Do you get it at Target coatings and have it tinted locally? Tint it yourself? Thanks for your advice. John My grandparents had a marquetry landscape picture hanging on the wall of their house for years when I was kid.  After they passed, one of my uncles received the picture as part of their inheritance.  I decided to try to make my own version of this picture as the chalet had a few discrepancies in it.  The picture was of a man walking down a winding path between a chalet and a couple of trees and mountains in the background.  I have tried to use 1/16" veneer but it seems prone to tearing/chipping when I use my Dewalt scroll saw.   I have tried several different styles of blades with no success.   I have also had some difficulties getting the jigsaw pieces, so to speak, to fit closely together. It seems if I remove a little from one side of a piece then it alters another side.  I have let's say gone through a bit of extra veneer.  What suggestions would you make so that the veneer doesn't tear/chip out?  Is there a better way to cut the pieces? Would you use a different thickness or completely go away from the veneer to something else?  Lastly, what techniques can you offer up to get the pieces to fit snugly given the sometimes difficult shapes? Jim
