As a matter of fact, with savings, you won't really be building any wealth, you'll just kind of have a chunk of change sitting there. You can ditch any crazy shopping habits you may have and begin live frugally, adapting an easy, lazy lifestyle, then put that extra money in a piggy bank or bank account. But after all is said done, that money is just sitting there. Waiting. It's not growing; it's not making you richer. You want your money to work for you though. You want it to make you richer, not just be an idle pig oinking on the shelf. See, cash depreciates in value due to inflation and the interest you gain in a savings account doesn't even let you break even, yet alone gain wealth. It's not about how much money you have per se, but it's about how much wealth you have, how much buying power you have. You can only gain wealth, upgrade your buying power, if your money grows at a faster rate than the inflation rate. Otherwise, you're at a loss. That's where investing comes in. And on today's episode, we're gonna look at the ProcrastiN8 Money Rules to Gain Profit in Investing It's good to have some savings before you start investing, which is why we covered Rules of savings last week.

Calculate is part of the acronym of something I like call C.O.U.C.H ambition, which is basically the lazy way to attain your goals. I'll have a link in the show notes for a blog article where I talk about this: http://bit.ly/2T0LFUf Instead of rushing into the arena, and this case, slamming down money into the bank or an investment account as quickly as possible… ...we're first going to sit on back on our comfy COUCH and Calculate the best course of action and the details of what our end goal looks like before moving forward. Knowing our end goal and making realistic, instead of impossible dream that will never happen makes easier to move forward and attain it. Minimize the amount of years spend working and maximize the amount of years on your own Lazy Island in retirement You can even gamify your progress and turn this boring finance stuff into an RPG adventure, like a DnD campaign but...real life. Gain the loot IRL and build your own cozy castle. Check out “Lvl 10: Level Up Your Productivity with these ProcrastiN8 Gamification Apps” for more on These productivity apps can definitely be used to level up your personal finance (eg. gain xp for saving a certain amount of money, for not buying coffee or something, buying a stock, etc) ...but we can talk about how to do that perhaps in a later episode, a later quest. Here we'll dive into ways to Calculate your end goal in finances -- your retirement goal Multiply By 25 Rule Take your desired income and multiply it by 25 to get your retirement savings goal That's how much you need, total, to lay on the couch all day and not worry about how to keep the lights on the number should be HIGHER than your current amount of expenses to account for inflation Rule of 72: the time it takes to double your money is 72 divided by your rate of return 7% is the average yearly return in the stock market so it takes about 10 years to double your money think of it like a really slow cash doubling machine. you put in the money and whatever amount you put in comes out twice as much a decade later. It takes a while to “cook” but the machine runs itself. 7. Diversify Don't put all your eggs in one basket -- Don't sleep on just one pillow Make a comfortable bed with plenty of cushions If one pillow falls off, you still have plenty to keep you at rest If one stock plummets, you have a nice cozy place to sleep. Buy stocks from multiple sector (categories): Energy, Materials, Industrial, Consumer Discretionary, Consumer Staples, Healthcare, Financials Information Technology Telecommunication Services Utilities, Real Estate, Bonds, Cryptocurrency, Commodities (oil, silver, gold), and ForEx (Foreign Exchange Market/International currencies) Mutual Fund - traded at end of day ETF (exchange traded fund) - traded during the day Equity Investing - crowdfunding that pays (Kickfurther, Slice Capital) It's like building a giant blanket fort - more pillows, more blankets = more defense 6. Relax and take it easy, man Don't make emotional decisions. Don't get worked up or upset. I mean c'mon, you don't wanna work or get worked up. You're lazy and relaxed. Remain in control of your emotions. Stay level headed and cool. Don't panic sell or buy on the hype (Facebook after Cambridge Analytica, Equifax data breach, Nintendo released PokemonGo) It'll go up and it'll go down, just ride the waves of the stock market ocean It'll be smooth sailing the less you worry about it. Also, don't obsessively check your account. This may also make it easy to get emotionally tied up in the stock market “drama” Detach yourself from your stocks emotionally. You're dating your stocks, not in a married lifelong marriage commitment to them. 5. If it's too complicated, don't even bother Stick to industries and companies you actually understand. If you're not interested, don't bother. It takes a lot of effort to research a company : look at their profits, goals, analyze their financial, ethical, and legal history, understand the strengths of its employees, have insight on the CEO's ability to make good decisions and inspire a team, track data of their ability to bring ideas to life. It's a time consuming and effortful task. Take a hobby and look at the products you purchase, the brands you use. You're already aware of what some of your favorite brands are doing (new game releases, new devices coming out) ...as well as the trends within your niche (eg. games going digital, so GameStop is becoming irrelevant) ... so it doesn't take much research or effort to know where they're going and if they're going to be profitable in the future. 4. Invest whenever you feel like it Don't try to time the market Even experts get it wrong, so as a procrastinator, don't sweat it if you do too. Procrastinate and put it off. Don't kick yourself if you miss a “golden opportunity” to buy low and sell high. No big deal. You invest when you want. You know the price will go up, eventually. You don't bog yourself down with numbers. Numbers are arbitrary. Things go up and they come back down. That's the very nature of the stock market and you accept that. You're calm about it and even when you time it “wrong” that's okay, you know it'll come back up again. I mean heck, the stock market not only recovered from the Great Depression but has far exceeded the prices pre-depression era. Deadlines don't matter, nor does stock market timing. If you worry about it, you're putting unnecessary pressure on yourself, putting yourself in the DESK trap. http://bit.ly/2ASJVWh 3. Patience. There's no rush Have realistic expectations, You ain't gonna get rich quick. Very few people do. Patience is not only a virtue, it's a lifestyle. It's the heart of what makes a procrastinator, well, a procrastinator. Be patient. Set it and forget it. Let your money grow and don't try to force it to move any faster. It'll get there, in due time. Don't worry about maximizing profits as quickly as possible, just focus on building wealth, nice and slow You'll get rich, eventually. Have patience and persistently invest. Slow n' steady wins the race. Use the turtle as your spirit animal guide to get where you want financially. 2. Be a Cheap skate Eliminate fees as much as possible. They add up quickly. You don't like to pay extra for things. You're cheap when it comes to your money, so just embrace it. Any fee you pay cuts directly into your potential profits and that's no good Annual fees, monthly maintenance fees, trading fees, deposit fees, all sorts of fees Choose an investment company with minimal fees (Charles Schwab, Fidelity, Betterment, ...or no fees at all (Robinhood, WeBull, Metador, Wise Banyan) The more fees you pay, the less money you'll make. Period. Even small fees can chip away at your wealth if you're not careful. 1. Make It Easy on Yourself Play it safe. Buy “boring” stocks (Johnson & Johnson, Coca-Cola, Wal-Mart, 3M, Procter & Gamble) Don't stretch yourself thin trying to find the “next big thing” There are millions of start ups and most of them won't be around in 5 years. Don't spend your time or money or energy trying to strike it rich. You'll make it hard on yourself. Just take it easy and make your investment decisions easy. You don't have to make it a full time job to follow the stock market. As a matter of fact, you don't even have to check it often at all. I mean you can if you want to, again, if that's something you enjoy doing. Do what you enjoy. But if you don't enjoy following the stock market, don't do it. You've already Calculated your end goal, and how much you need to save each month to meet it, so just stick to that plan, and don't get distracted. Don't get up when something startles or excites you… Relax. Lay on back down in bed instead and let your money do all the work for you. You don't even have to lift a finger, or your head off the pillow.

Nick Hodge, Co-Owner of Digest Publishing and editor of Foundational Profits and Hodge Family Office, joins us for an expanded conversation into the multiple macroeconomic factors behind the recent market volatility in US equities and commodities. He points to rate-sensitive sectors like gold, utilities, and real estate as sectors that benefit from upcoming Fed rate cuts, and then consumer staples companies as additional safe havens. We also discuss MineHub Technologies and the weakness in the uranium equities later in the discussion.   We start off discussing how there isn't one convenient factor at play to explain it, even though the market likes simple narratives.   While the Japanese Yen carry trade unwinding has been a factor for investors liquidating US assets where they had borrowed in the Yen, as that currency has been rising and investors get out of that trade, there are many other factors at play.  Nick outlines that some earnings reports were an issue, there were share buyback blackouts, Warren Buffet was selling Apple stock, and there was disinflation in some asset classes. There has also been some weakening economic data, but Nick points out that we are not in a recession when the GDP just came in at 2.8% and real estate is picking up, and so there are mixed good and bad data points, leading into more of a stagflation backdrop at this point.  Regardless, the Fed will begin rate cuts in September, and interest rate sensitive sectors will continue to benefit from these market expectations.   We shift gears and also get into how technology will be applied to the mining sector, and Nick highlights MineHub Technologies Inc. (TSXV: MHUB) (OTCQB: MHUBF) as a digital platform to harness big data, provide confirmation of where ore is sourced that plays into their investing needs and ESG preferences of many institutional investors.   Nick believes that this kind of transparency in the mining industry may drive in more generalist funds into the sector.      Wrapping up we get Nick's thoughts on the strong corrective move down in the uranium equities for the last couple of months.  We discuss how the uranium price has stabilized, and that the fundamentals for nuclear power are still very robust, but that the weakness in the equities has caused many new funds to exit positions. Nick has reduced some individual company exposure to focus on the uranium mining ETFs, until there is more clarity on a rebound in the sector.   Click here to follow Nick's analysis and publications over at Digest Publishing

Making Sense of the Correction

Although Monday's correction springs from multiple causes, the real questions may be what's next and when will the correction become a buying opportunity?----- Transcript -----Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Mike Wilson, Morgan Stanley's CIO and Chief US Equity Strategist. Along with my colleagues bringing you a variety of perspectives, today I'll be talking about the recent equity market correction and whether it's time to step in.It's Monday, Aug 5th at 11:30am in New York.So let's get after it.Over the past several weeks, global equity markets have taken on a completely different tone with most major averages definitively breaking strong uptrends from last fall. Many are blaming the Fed's decision last week to hold interest rates steady in the face of weaker jobs data while others have highlighted the technical unwind of the Japanese yen carry trade.However, if we take a step back, this topping process began in April with the first meaningful sell off since last October's lows. Even as many stocks and indices rallied back to new highs this summer, the leadership took on a more defensive posture with sectors like Utilities, Staples and even Real Estate doing better than they have in years. As I have been discussing on this podcast this shift in leadership has coincided with softer economic data during the second quarter. This softness has continued into the summer with the all-important labor market data joining in as already noted.This rotation was an early warning sign that stocks were likely vulnerable to a correction as we highlighted in early July. After all, the third quarter is when such corrections tend to happen seasonally for several reasons. This year has turned out to be no different. The real question now is what's next and when will this correction become a buying opportunity?Lost in the blame game is the simple fact that valuations reached very rich levels this year, something we have consistently discussed in our research. In fact, this is the main reason we have no upside to our US major averages over the next year even assuming our economists' soft landing base case outcome for the economy. In other words, stocks were priced for perfection.Now, with the deterioration in the growth data, and a Fed that is in no rush to cut rates proactively, markets have started to get nervous. Furthermore, the Fed tends to follow 2-year yields and over the last month 2-year treasury yields have fallen by 100 basis points and is almost 170 basis points below the Fed Funds rate. What this means is that the market is telling the Fed they are way too tight and they need to cut much more aggressively than what they have guided.The dilemma for the Fed is that the next meeting is six weeks away and that's a lifetime when markets are trading like they are today. Markets tend to be impatient and so I expect they will continue to trade with high volatility until the Fed appeases the market's wishes. The flip side, of course, is that the Fed does an intra meeting rate cut; but that may make the markets even more nervous about growth in my view.Bottom line, markets are likely to remain vulnerable in the near term until we get better growth data or more comfort from Fed on policy support, neither of which we think is forthcoming soon.Finally, support can also come from cheap valuations, but we don't have that yet at current prices. As of this recording the S&P 500 is still trading 20x forward 12-month earnings estimates. Our fair value multiple assuming a soft-landing outcome on the economy is closer to 19x, which means things aren't actually cheap until we reach 17-18x, which is more than 10 per cent away from where we are trading.In the meantime, we continue to recommend more defensive stocks in sectors like Utilities, Healthcare, Consumer Staples and some Real Estate. Conversely, we continue to dislike smaller cap cyclical stocks that are most vulnerable to the current growth slowdown and tight rate policy.Thanks for listening.

It's Thursday, the first of February, at 3 PM in London.It's no secret that global life expectancy is increasing. The rise of modern medicine, improved working conditions, urbanization, and greater access to food and water have all contributed to a greater life expectancy. According to the United Nations, global life expectancy has risen more than 54% since 1950, reaching about 71 years in 2021, with Asia improving the most. At the same time people are living longer, birth rates for most developed economies have dropped. Higher levels of education, the increasing proportion of women in the workforce, and modern medicine have all contributed to lower birth rates. In fact, over the last several decades, the global population has aged significantly, with the median global age increasing 8 years since 1950, hitting 30 years in 2021. Looking ahead, the United Nations expects the percentage of population aged 65+ will continue to increase at a faster rate than younger populations. An ageing population has far-reaching implications, but let's consider the spending power of older adults. Real disposable income among older adults has increased throughout the years. In 2022, an older adult had about 50% more than in 2000. As a result, older adults today have more money to spend on consumer goods and services than in the last decades. Here are three categories within the Consumer Staples sector that could benefit from the rise in longevity.First, Consumer Health. As consumers skew older and their disposable income increases it bodes well for a wide range of consumer health products – think Vitamins, Minerals and Supplements (VMS), denture care, cold and flu remedies and more.Second, Active Nutrition, including protein supplements and probiotic-rich foods such as kimchi, kombucha, or yogurt, is a likely beneficiary of the longevity theme. This sub-category is currently growing mid- to high single digits on average (over 10% for protein-related categories), and we see room for further long-term growth.Finally, Medical Nutrition. With age comes increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, including cancers, and with malnutrition. Addressing malnutrition improves the cost, and effectiveness, of medical treatment and also allows for shorter hospital stays. To that end, healthcare providers are increasing turning to medical nutritional solutions--driving demand for these products.Thanks for listening.

10 Predictions for 2024 With Bob Doll

REFLECTION ON LAST YEAR'S PREDICTIONSBob Doll reflects on his previous year's predictions, noting that while they achieved a 50% accuracy rate, it fell short of their usual 72% mark. The unexpected strength in the economy and labor market, combined with a decrease in inflation, led to deviations from their projections.The economy was stronger than expected, preventing the anticipated recession.Inflation continued to decrease but did not reach the central bank's target of 2%.Stock market valuations increased, particularly for a small group of high-performing stocks. OUTLOOK ON THE US ECONOMY FOR THE UPCOMING YEARBob predicts a mild recession for the upcoming year, citing residual issues from Federal Reserve tightening and an inverted yield curve. He expresses skepticism about the current optimistic outlook for a soft landing in the economy.A mild recession is anticipated due to ongoing economic tightening and yield curve inversion.The labor market remains strong, posing challenges for reducing inflation.A shift from almost unanimous recession expectations to widespread soft landing predictions is observed.10 PREDICTIONS FOR 2024:Bob explains that the ideal 'Goldilocks' scenario of perfect economic balance is unlikely. The predictions for 2024 involve trade-offs between strong earnings growth and low inflation, which are mutually exclusive under current economic conditions. 1. The U.S. economy experiences a mild recession as the unemployment rate rises above 4.5%. 2. The 2-3% inflation ceiling of the 2010s becomes the 2-3% inflation floor of the 2020s. 3. The Fed cuts rates fewer than the six times suggested by the Fed funds futures curve4. Credit spreads widen as interest rates decline.5. Earnings growth falls short of the double-digit percentage consensus expectation.6. Stocks record a new all-time high early in the year, but then experience a fade.7. Energy, Financials and Consumer Staples outperform Utilities, Healthcare and Real Estate.8. Faith-based share of industry AUM rises for the eighth year in a row.9. Geopolitical crosscurrents multiply but have little impact on markets.10. The White House, Senate and House all switch parties in November.  THE ONLY THING CERTAIN IS UNCERTAINTYThe main focal point for 2024 is likely to be whether investors enjoy further significant progress on inflation, decent economic growth and double-digit earnings growth. We're skeptical. Either 1) we get a noticeable slowdown/recession and earnings fall short, or 2) double-digit earnings growth materializes, probably requiring stronger economic growth, less progress (if any) on inflation and a Fed that is boxed in. The long-predicted recession will likely materialize in 2024, although it most likely will be brief and shallow. Also, after the largest growth in the money supply since WWII (due to COVID), we're now experiencing the biggest decline since the 1930s. Can a productivity boom rescue the U.S. via AI, automation and robotics? Only time will tell. We expect the 2023 momentum and Fed cut euphoria to fade early in the new year, resulting in lackluster earnings growth and downside risk to equities as 2024 unfolds. At some point, the political dysfunction in Washington, D.C., and record non-recession, non-war deficits will pile up even as interest expense takes an even larger share of  ON TODAY'S PROGRAM, ROB ANSWERS LISTENER QUESTIONS:I purchased a $10,000 I bond back in October 2022 with high rates; should I keep it for a few years and continue investing in it or consider liquidating it?As a truck driver, I spend a lot of time on the road and I'm considering selling my mobile home, which is on rented property, to invest in a piece of land or another home.My wife and I each have an IRA worth about $200,000, and with potential tax rate changes in 2026 and our increasing income due to delayed Social Security benefits, should we consider converting our IRAs to Roths? Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.

Today's Post - https://bahnsen.co/47VBffb Today saw risk assets rally yet again with the Dow closing at another all-time high. It is interesting to see health care as the sector holding the defensives and lower beta names down. Consumer Staples and Real Estate have broken out a bit and Utilities have at least awakened, but Health Care has been the laggard. The Bank of Japan extended its policy of negative interest rates (it has been seven years now, for those counting), though most believe they will hike the policy rate up to 0% in 2024. The Yen remains quite weak against the dollar. Oil is down $20 from where it was in September (note, that was before the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7). The VIX is at $12.50, pretty close to the lowest it has been in five years, Credit spreads have tightened by 60 basis points just in the investment grade side, with high yield spreads tightening a full percentage point (and that is basically since Halloween). It would be hard to make up a series of data points that reflect a more favorable sentiment for risk assets than this.

Today in the podcast, an update on our outlook for sectors within the US, and some thoughts on sectors from a global perspective based on the results of our latest RBC analyst survey which now includes our teams from Europe, Canada, and Australia in addition to those in the US. Five big things you need to know: First, across the globe, RBC equity analysts are most constructive on Health Care and are least constructive on Consumer Staples. Second, RBC analysts are most constructive on Europe in terms of their performance outlooks, but there is some important nuance to their regional views. Third, looking at the US specifically, our analysts are most constructive on the performance outlooks for Health Care, Energy and Financials, and are least constructive on the performance outlooks for Consumer Discretionary, Consumer Staples, and Utilities. Fourth, in terms of our own US Equity Strategy sector recommendations, we have made two changes, lifting Financials to overweight from market weight and lowering utilities from overweight to market weight. Fifth, cyclicals also stand out in our survey and quant work on Europe.

Today's Post - The debt ceiling bill has gotten through the House Rules Committee and it appears nearly certain that the House will have the votes tonight for passage. What happened here proved to be even less dramatic than I predicted, and I was predicting that the media posture here was recklessly and shamefully melodramatic. I promise you this, though – no one will learn anything, and everyone will take the bait again next time, too. Media reports that some hardliners on the right were going to look to oust Speaker McCarthy over this bill were, well, totally untrue. One of the big themes in the market right now is the relative weakness of defensive sectors like Consumer Staples, Health Care, and Utilities. And for a contrarian like me, it makes me like them even more. The momentum is in one very narrow space right now. That boat has a capsize risk in front of it as 2023 progresses. In the meantime, 4% of the large cap universe is at a relative high right now, while 25% is at a relative low. Weird wacky stuff.

Lots of chatter from Fed Governors these days with Kashkari saying we need higher rates for longer, Bostic in Atlanta saying January's jobs report speaks to another rate hike (which was already priced in), but now today Jerome Powell basically reaffirming his message of last week, which is one of an imminent pause. Right now, we see a 91% chance of a quarter-point hike at the next meeting and a 70% chance of one more quarter-point hike after that. Dow: +266 points (+0.78%) S&P: +1.29% Nasdaq: +1.90% 10-Year Treasury Yield: 3.68% (+5 basis points) Top-performing sector: Energy (+3.08%) Bottom-performing sector: Consumer Staples (-0.36%) WTI Crude Oil: $77.37/barrel (+4.40%) Key Economic Points of the Day: Bond yields have jumped 37 basis points since the 1st of the month on the short end of the curve The trade deficit came in at $67.4 billion for December, a tad less than expected. Exports were up +7.6% last year (energy had to help) and imports were up +2% on the year. Those divergent rates led to a decline in the trade deficit, but unfortunately, a decline of -2.5% in total trade for Q4 and -1.1% for Q3 brought total trade for 2022 down to just +4.4% versus a year ago.

Futures opened last night down -50 and were down -85 into the evening. This morning markets pointed to a down -265 open pre-market. Futures would improve in the next three hours before the opening. The market opened down just -80 points and then went positive before then steadily declining throughout the day. The Dow closed down -261 points (0.77%), with the S&P 500 down -1.30% and the Nasdaq down -1.96%. January looks to be the greatest month for bond market auctions in history, with every single auction printing below-market yields. More demand than supply across the yield curve; each auction of new treasury debt means one thing – these buyers don't believe these yields will last. Only 29% of companies have reported Q4 results so far, so it is really too early, still, but thus far, we are tracking for year-over-year revenue growth of +4.2% and year-over-year earnings contraction of -2.9%. Full-year earnings estimates started the year at $225 on the S&P 500 and are now sitting at $220. The ten-year bond yield closed today at 3.54%, up two basis points on the day. Top-performing sector for the day: Consumer Staples (+0.07%) Bottom-performing sector for the day: Energy (-2.29%) Earnings in energy currently make up over 12% of the S&P's earnings, but Energy is currently only 5% of the S&P 500 by weighting. That 7% differential between earnings contribution and weighting is the highest it has ever been.
