Keith discusses strategies for building wealth in real estate, emphasizing efficient property operations and leveraging. He suggests setting tenant occupancy limits, sub-metering utilities, and increasing rentable space. He explains the leverage ratio, which measures the relationship between debt and equity, and advises maintaining a high ratio for better returns.  Hear his take on the Florida's real estate market, including falling property values, oversupply, and rising insurance premiums. Despite these issues, Keith remains optimistic about Florida's long-term potential due to its population growth and low taxes.

This is get rich education.   Keith Weinhold  1:32   Welcome to GRE from Manhattan, Kansas to the finance capital of Manhattan in New York City, and across 188 nations worldwide, you are back inside get rich Education. I'm your host, and my name is Keith Weinhold. I think you know that by now, because we deliver weekly shows more steadily and predictably than a new tariff policy. I've got more on tariffs in a funny clip on Trump wanting to fire Jerome Powell in stories on that level soon. But first, you know one thing that I've made you mindful of lately is that a successful real estate investor needs to pay attention to two big things if you want to build wealth First, keep your property operations efficient. This is your cash flow function. And second look at your net worth statement, and be mindful that you are leveraging as many dollars as you responsibly can. Let me break down both of these for you so that you can see what I really mean here the first one, keeping your property operations efficient. That means that right up front, with a new tenant in the application, find out how many tenants are going to live there, and firmly let them know that they cannot exceed this or that they're in violation of the lease. Can you get 20% more rent, or even 50% more rent by furnishing your unit and marketing it not as a long term rental, but as a midterm rental, and targets, say health professionals that are traveling if you're in a hot rental market. Can you simply keep the rent the same, but have new incoming tenants pay a utility bill for you that you had previously been paying by sub metering your utilities. Other examples of taking the rental property you already have and making it more efficient, you know, there are more classic items, like increasing your rentable space, renting out separate on site, storage space, adding a carport, charging pet rent or just boosting the curb appeal. Can you build an adu on your property? How about appealing your property taxes or automating your rent collection. Why don't you take a look at your insurance policies? You know, a lot of them have $1,000 deductibles. Well, if you're an economically resilient investor, consider raising your deductibles to 5k that way you lower your insurance premium and increase your cash flow that way. I mean really, putting in insurance claims can be somewhat of a pain anyway. Okay, well, right. There were maybe, I don't know, 10 or 15 quick ideas for streamlining your property's operations and increasing your cash flow. Now, don't try to do every one of them, but if there's at least one or two that you can think of as low hanging fruit to go ahead and harvest with the nature of what you've got going in your portfolio. And you know, ideas like I just shared there, you can hear about that on some other real estate investing platforms. But you know what the bigger gain. Is that you can actually make they take less work and fewer people talk about these things all right, and that's the second thing I'm talking about. Yes, it is typically more profitable for you and less work for you. If, instead of all those things, you increase your leverage ratio. Now, doing this does not help your cash flow, it helps your net worth. And net worth is something that you can later convert to cash flow. And this second one increasing your leverage that's a strategy that you just don't hear about on very many real estate investing platforms. So I haven't discussed leverage ratio in a long time. So let's talk about what it is, how you can improve yours, and then what it does for building your wealth. Okay, it's the relationship between your debt and your equity, and here's how to determine yours, and then I'll tell you how you're performing. Once you've determined yours, you might even be able to do it roughly in your head. All you do is take the total value of all the real estate that you own and divide it by your loan balances. That's it. Say you own a million dollars worth of real estate and you've got 500k of total debt on all that real estate. Well, it's really simple. Just divide your value a million bucks, buy your debt, 500k and your leverage ratio is two to one. Let's just call that two. If you're looking to build wealth, that number of two is kind of low. It should be higher. It means that you've got 50% equity in your property. Now say that instead, on the day that you bought that million dollars in real estate, you only made a 200k down payment. That's awesome. A million bucks divided by 200k your leverage ratio is five. All right. Well, what are these numbers really mean? Like this two and this five? All right, it's important because it is what you use to multiply your real estate's rate of appreciation by in order to find your rate of return. So just say that your real estate appreciates 4% this year. If your leverage ratio is just two, that's only an 8% return on your skin in the game. But if you've got more debt and your leverage ratio is five, then a 4% return means you've got a 20% return on your skin in the game. Do that keep your leverage ratio high? Now, what if your leverage ratio falls all the way down to a one. What does that mean? Oh, dear, you're not really doing much to build wealth because all of your properties are paid off. You don't have any mortgages on them. So if you're down to a one, all you've got working for you, from an appreciation standpoint, is compound interest. That's the point at which you've fallen from a compound leverage instrument down to a compound interest instrument. And as we know here at GRE which is counter to the mainstream world. And yeah, the mainstream world is where you have to work all of your life at a job you hate. And that's what you'll do if all you have is unlevered compound interest, all right, and if all you have is unlevered compound interest, well, don't book your Blue Origin flight quite yet. You're not going to go on one you can count on sitting behind a desk for decades instead.   All right. Well, how do you determine your leverage ratio? Again, it's your total real estate value divided by your equity. All right. Now, how do you keep your number high? By making new purchases with 20 to 25% down payments, and by not making new purchases is another way, and instead performing cash out refinances or doing both, you know another way to increase your leverage ratio, and you might not have thought about this, it's when real estate values fall. Now, that's surely not a desirable way to do it, and it doesn't happen often, but when real estate values fall, that drops both your real estate's value and your equity value by the same amount. And interestingly, with some of the ways that I described that you can add value to a property earlier, like a carport, that makes your cash flow better, but it does make your leverage ratio worse at the same time, a way to decrease your leverage ratio fast and lower your wealth building potential fast is to make an extra principal payment of a few 1000 bucks. I mean that one act alone might drop it from, say, a 3.14 to a three point. One Two over night. But look, I don't know what real estate markets you're invested in, and if you tell me what your number is, I'm gonna know how much your future wealth building power is, because you're keeping dollars not merely compounding, but leveraged. And if your number falls below about two and a half, which means 40% equity, that's typically when I begin looking to refinance or sell an equity heavy property, to do a 1031 into a bigger one. So two and a half, that's the number where you often want to take action. And really this is all just a fresh way of approaching an enduring mantra here at GRE Oh yeah, financially free beats debt free, and this sure can make you a mutineer among the masses. And I've been talking about these mutineers sort of things a lot lately, even with a tinge of irreverence. Perhaps you might remember that three weeks ago here on the show, I discussed how, depending on your circumstance, you can even make a car loan good debt, and how a seven figure income is the new six figures and then, yes, perhaps more irreverence. Last week in your free audio course, it was pretty iconoclastic to break down in detail how a 38% rate of return from just everyday buy and hold real estate is not risky at all. And last week's episode 550 the free course, that's probably the most important episode we've done in a long time. For a beginning real estate investor, if you've got any relative or friend in your life that you know, do you have someone around you that just doesn't get it about real estate investing, that really doesn't understand why you do this, please go ahead and share last week's episode with him. Episode 550 now on to the actual person of one, Donald John Trump. And why do I always say his name that way? I don't know. I'm not sure how that ever got started, but I don't say that as often as I call myself a remorseless slack jaw. In any case, the President wants to fire the Fed Chair Jerome Powell. This is nothing new. It just flared up again. I mean, here's the latest flare up. Listen to how Trump says he's never been fond of Powell. Okay, key in on that. This is Tom llamas on NBC, nightly news. You'll also hear the voices of Trump, Powell and Elizabeth Warren in Washington.    Unknown Speaker  8:38   There's a mounting standoff between President Trump and the Chairman of the Federal Reserve. The President blasting Jerome Powell for not lowering interest rates, accusing him of playing politics. Gabe Gutierrez is at the White House with markets on edge and his trade war escalating. President Trump is lashing out at the Federal Reserve Chairman he once appointed, writing on social media that Jerome Powell's termination cannot come fast enough. I don't think he's doing the job. He's too late, always too late. Slow. And I'm not happy with him. I let him know it, and if I want him out, he'll be out of there real fast, believe me, the rebuke coming after this warning from Powell Wednesday, tariffs are highly likely to generate at least a temporary rise in inflation, the President now slamming him for not cutting interest rates to help the economy. We have a Federal Reserve Chairman that is playing politics, somebody that I've never been very fond of, actually, but he's playing politics. Powell says the Fed needs more clarity before making a move. We're never going to be influenced by any political pressure. People can say whatever they want. That's fine. Trump had previously said he would not try to replace Powell, and earlier this week, the Treasury Secretary stressed the importance of an independent federal reserve. I believe that monetary policy is a jewel box that's got to be preserved. Democrats warning of chaos if Powell is ousted, if Chairman Powell can be fired by the President of the United States, it will crash the markets in the United States. Powell, whose term as Fed Chair ends next year, has said the President does not have the legal authority to fire him. If he asked you to leave, would you go? No.   Keith Weinhold  14:38    In that clip, Trump said he's never been very fond of pow dude. You appointed him, you You appointed him as Fed Chair in your first term, where you must have liked him more than any of the other candidates. Geez. Now you may or may not like Powell, but I don't see how. He's playing politics before lowering interest rates, it's completely sensible for him to see how the tariffs play out first. The Fed has long been independent of the executive branch, so they're supposed to be Trump wants Powell to lower interest rates. And remember, Powell already cut rates a full 1% late last year, and I really don't even agree with that cut when inflation was still elevated. Trump says Powell is always too late. Well, everyone agrees that Powell was too late to raise rates back in 2022 I mean, that had to do with the whole gaff where he said that inflation is just transitory, and no one will let Powell forget that. But do you give pal credit for a soft landing? I mean, he since brought down inflation while keeping us out of a recession, that's the definition of a soft landing. You know, I don't fully give pal credit there, just a little but remember, by that point, the inflation damage has already been done. It's already hurt a lot of people, and that's not changing. Now, of course, the inflation enriched you and it enriched me, because we're the real estate investors, and inflation is always going to do that for us. What happened is that Trump is frustrated because he saw the European Central Bank just lower their rates. So that's why he wants to see that happen here too. Because of course, lower rates can help the economy, at least in the short term. So I wondered about what you think. So what I did is I asked you in our latest Instagram poll, the question I asked was simply, should Jerome Powell be retained or fired? I was a little surprised at the result. 38% of GRE Instagram poll respondents said pal should be retained, and 62% said fired. I didn't think as many as 62% would say fire Powell. My best guess is that it's because you want lower interest rates on mortgages, and my next best guess is that you want to fire Powell, not because you dislike him, but more because you want to abolish the Fed completely, which I guess means that Powell would be fired that way. Did you hear about what happened when Donald Trump called tech support? Yeah. He told them, my tariffs aren't working. Tech Support responded with, did you try turning them off and back on again.    Hey, coming up shortly is Florida real estate doomed.

More. Next you're listening to get rich education.    You know what's crazy? Your bank is getting rich off of you. The average savings account pays less than 1% it's like laughable. Meanwhile, if your money isn't making at least 4% you're losing to inflation. That's why I started putting my own money into the FFI liquidity fund. It's super simple. Your cash can pull in up to 8% returns, and it compounds. It's not some high risk gamble like digital or AI stock trading. It's pretty low risk because they've got a 10 plus year track record of paying investors on time in full every time. I mean, I wouldn't be talking about it if I wasn't invested myself. You can invest as little as 25k and you keep earning until you decide you want your money back. No weird lockups or anything like that.

Harv Ecker, you're listening to the powerful Get rich education with Keith Weinhold. Don't quit your day dream.   Keith Weinhold  21:10   Welcome back to get rich Education. I'm your host. Keith Weinhold is Florida real estate doomed. Most anyone that pays attention has probably noticed that the Sunshine State has some areas, well, really, a number of them where property values have actually fallen. This is tied to the fact that there's an inventory over supply. There have been spiking insurance premiums tied to hurricanes. And what about the slowing population growth, and since the pandemic, Florida has had some of the fastest growing, highest appreciating markets in the entire nation. But today, in fact, there's a giant home builder there KB Homes that finds Florida's housing market. In their words, it's weak enough that they are cutting prices this spring. And KB Homes is ranked number 545 on the fortune 1000 so they're pretty sizable. And then an even larger home builder, Lennar, they basically said the same thing. The CEO of KB Homes said, quote, demand at the start of this spring selling season was more muted than what we have seen historically, despite a healthy level of traffic in our communities. So we took steps to reposition our communities to offer the most compelling value, and buyers responded favorably to those adjustments. End of the quote, yes, that is a genteel way of saying that we had to cut prices to get buyers like I mentioned to you, starting, gosh, probably a year ago or more, that other home builders have, instead of cutting prices, offered mortgage rate buy downs to buyers, be mindful though of how much your home builder is paying for those buy downs and how much you are at the closing table. Now, as we know, nationally, there's still a housing supply shortage, but KB, who does business in other states, says that Florida is the weakest, and that's due to over supply. Now let's forget about in migration for a second. Okay, that weakness is because a lot of communities are overbuilt to the point that the in migration rate cannot keep up with the over building. And of course, it's hard to generalize. Florida is a big, populous state of 23 million people. Southwest Florida has been hit the hardest that's pretty well documented. Punta Gorda, home values are down 9% year over year. Cape Coral down 7% let's go to the opposite end of the state, and Jacksonville, up in Northeast Florida that has about seven months of housing supply. It's actually pretty close to a balanced market between buyers and sellers, and then in the center of the state, Orlando, there's six months of supply that is a balanced market where there is normalcy in negotiation between buyers and sellers and a smattering of offers on one property And no one rushing and doing things like waving their inspection and then Miami Fort Lauderdale, you know, I really don't talk about them much on the show, because their prices are too high to work well as long term cash flowing rentals, both KB and Lennar say that they're keeping an eye on tariffs and that the changes to immigration have not changed their operations very much yet, because, remember, a lot of construction laborers are immigrants, and if they get deported, and then you need to hire native born US labor. Well, home prices go up, all right. Well, what about the Florida insure? Crisis. You know, over the past few years in Florida, a bunch of carriers have just withdrawn. They have pulled out of the state, farmers, insurance, bankers, insurance, Lexington insurance, all pulled out. Farmers told The New York Times that this business decision was necessary to effectively manage risk exposure. Similarly, AAA is another carrier, and they said that they're not going to renew some policies. They said the markets become challenging. 2022 catastrophic hurricane season that really contributed to an unprecedented rise in reinsurance rates, and that made it more costly for insurance companies to operate there at all. And prior to that, the market was already strained and had increased claims costs due to inflation and excessive litigation. That's what triple A said. All right, so where does this leave homeowners? Well, some are already relying on state and federal insurance programs, like the National Flood Insurance Program. There's a state carrier called citizens now, flood insurance is not required outside of a special hazard flood area, but that doesn't mean that a home is going to escape flooding if a hurricane passes through, but having insurance it does help along and accelerate the recovery process. Florida has some of the best Building Code adoption and enforcement in the country, and that fact alone has saved 1000s of homes and billions of dollars. But modern building codes are not necessarily applied retroactively to older homes. So it's those homes and properties that really have more exposure to hurricanes, those older properties, and a lot of Floridians are just skipping insurance coverage altogether so that they don't have to pay the premiums. They don't have any coverage. If you don't have a lien holder, you can do that. You can skip it, right? Well, like, How bad is it? Exactly? Just, how much have Florida insurance premiums been jacked up at this point. They've increased 60% on average between 2019, and 2023, and while homeowners and investors are primarily bearing that rising cost burden, I mean, insurers are feeling that squeeze as well. It's not just that the incidence of hurricane events is up, but premiums rise, of course, when the cost of labor in materials that it takes to replace and rebuild a damaged home have gone up as well things like concrete and structural steel and now, of course, as real estate investors, we can eventually pass on the cost of our higher insurance premiums to the tenant in the form of a rent increase, But when it goes up 60% in just four years. It's really hard to keep up with that. Florida's infrastructure is under some strain, too, and I see this when I drive the Tampa area. Every few years, I see more and more traffic. It takes me longer to get places like it takes me two or three cycles to go through a traffic light, where it only took me one cycle a few years ago. So roads and schools and utilities are under some duress to keep up with the population growth over the past decade, statewide commute times are up 11% you know, really that shouldn't be a surprise. I mean, that is common in any high growth area. Now, when it comes to insurance rate increases, there is a good chance that the worst is now over. Yes, Florida, insurance rate increases have been slowing down. The average rate increases have dropped quite a bit from 21% back in 2023 to a projected just two tenths of 1% for 2025 okay. I mean, that's basically no change expected for this year. Citizens, property insurance, that state option that I mentioned earlier, their rates are also shrinking, with some policyholders experiencing rate decreases of 5% or more. Now, I told you on a previous show that if you're looking to add rental property in Florida, go with new build properties for low insurance rates. But now I actually got a hold of some real policies between some of my properties and some of my friends properties. I've got them right in front of me here on a 1970s build single family home. I mean, the premiums can be high. We're basically paying 1% or more of the property's value in insurance premiums each year. So a 250k A valued single family rental that was built 50 years ago has a premium of $3,000 in some cases. I mean, that's a lot, but a close friend of mine recently went to GRE marketplace, got connected with one of our Florida providers. There, he bought a new construction duplex for I forget it was either 400k or 420k it's in Ocala, Florida, which is the central part of the state, and his 12 month insurance premium is $694. Wow. What a low premium for a duplex. That's why you go new build in Florida. Newer properties were built to today's construction and wind mitigation codes, and they have low insurance rates. And his duplex also appraised for 10k more than the purchase price. He has both sides already rented. And in fact, he closes on the property today, and yeah, I recommended that he go to GRE marketplace and get into Florida property, because that is indeed what he was interested in, and I sure wasn't going to stop him. So suffice to say, I clearly do not believe that Florida real estate is doomed. Florida has long been the antidote to high tax, high cost states, it has attracted snowbirds and retirees and hourly workers and increasingly younger professionals unable to crack housing markets elsewhere. Since the pandemic, millions of people have flocked to the state. I mean, when you look at a list of the fastest growing metro areas of the United States. I mean, Florida domination continues. You've still got big ones up there, like Lakeland of Florida is actually at the top of the population growth leaderboard nationally for metros with 500,000 or more people, Port St Lucie is also up there. It's third nationally, and Orlando is fourth. Three of the top four population growth metros are still in Florida, but this promise of sunshine and opportunity that has been replaced by something just a little less Sunny. I mean, you've got the rising home prices like Florida's not that cheap anymore, this diminishing affordability and this growing pressure on infrastructure, but Florida has definitely not completely lost its shine. People across the country are still moving to Florida, but not at the same rate that they did a few years ago, and the state is still seeing more people arrive then depart, besides the weather and the beaches that people love, of course, there's zero state income tax, and Governor Ron DeSantis has even proposed eliminating the property tax, like I mentioned to you on the show a while ago, although we can't count on eliminating the property tax anytime soon, if it ever happens. But wow, what a real estate boom that property tax elimination would create. So for the long term, which is what real estate investing is, I still like Florida. One thing that I don't like is trying to catch a falling knife, and that is analogous to say, investing in an area that is going down and has no future. Florida's got a future. It's got some challenges, just like anywhere in the US, but the reason it has a future is because more population growth is almost a guarantee. You don't get many guarantees in investing. Just look at the decennial census figures. Okay, this is the population of Florida every 10 years, starting in the year 1900 that's when they had 528,000 people, yeah, only about a half million people in the entire state, and I'll do some rounding here every 10 years after that. So in 1910 it was up to 750,000 people, then a million, 1,000,005 1,000,009 now we're up to 1950 where it grew to 2.8 million people, and then 5,000,006 point 8,000,009.7, 1316, 18.8 and then 21 and a half million in 2020, and it's 23 and a half million today. Now I only went as far back as 1900 there, but their census data goes back to at least 1830 and the growth has always been torrid, just uninterrupted. Every 10 years. There has been substantial to massive growth for at least 200 years, and Florida has still. Grown more than 2% per year each of the past couple years. In fact, it is still first place of all 50 states for population growth. So areas that are over supplied with housing in Florida are going to be absorbed. So Florida real estate is definitely not doomed. And in fact, adding more Florida real estate at this time, you know, that could very well be the type of thing where 10 years from now, or even five years from now, when their population is substantially bigger and there's less housing available. I mean, it could potentially look like a wise buy that you're able to get property at this time with less competition and maybe even a small discount here in the mid 2020s, and today, you can find three Florida markets listed at GRE marketplace. What else is happening at GRE marketplace? We've added two new markets, and they are also in the South. They are Jackson, Mississippi and Montgomery, Alabama. Yes, these areas are investor advantaged, and they have prices lower than most Florida markets. Though, I don't know that you'll see the net migration inflows into Jackson and Montgomery that you will in a lot of Florida markets. Jackson has a metro population of 600,000 and Montgomery 400,000 they both have really low property taxes. And there's something else that these two new GRE marketplace cities have in common. Any guess both Jackson and Montgomery are state capitals, yes, so they do have a base of government jobs. So check out gremarketplace.com read more about those cities. And of course, we even connect you with free investment coaching there to help you get matched up with some good property. Thanks for listening. Until next week, I'm your host.

The Federal Reserve's new report is predicting a worsening economy in just the first 90 days of Trump, driven by his erratic trade, tariff, and immigration policies, as the 12 US economic regions report cratering manufacturing, home sales, tourism, and banks tightening their lending criteria. Simultaneously, Trump's new poll numbers paint a disastrous presidency where he lost 7 points of support and now the majority of Americans “disapprove” of his performance. Michael Popok dons his Wall Street hat to tie these two events together and explain why Trump weakly threatened, but then backed off from, firing the Federal Reserve Chairman in advance of the report's release.

Our financial system is kept in balance through the federal reserve assessing and adjusting the federal funds rate. Due to the recent rate change earlier this month, you'll likely see some new changes coming down the road that will affect your savings and borrowing rates. What do the changes mean for personal finance planning and what financial opportunities could a rate change provide?  Links: Read the Forbes Advisor article mentioned Check out these additional resources for more information about the Fed rate and its impact on your money: MSN: The Fed just cut interest rates. How will your finances be impacted? Forbes: What Happens when the Fed Raises Rates? CBS News: The Fed cut rates for the first time in 4 years. What does that mean for your money?

What makes this rate so special is that it impacts everything for us as consumers like any APYs earned on savings accounts to the interest rates we pay on loans and credit cards.   One Forbes Advisor article simply stated, “The fed funds rate effectively dictates the cost of money in the U.S. economy.”   The Federal Reserve regularly meets to assess the economy, reviewing important aspects like inflation and unemployment. During this meeting a decision is made to do one of three things, raise the rate, lower the rate, or keep the rate the same.   It's not entirely necessary to know all the ins and outs of how the rate is determined and its role in the financial market, but it is important to be aware of how a rate change can affect your finances.  When the fed rate changes, it affects all aspects of the financial market so there are many signs you should recognize when news hits that the rate was raised or lowered.   When the rate goes up you may notice a few of these changes:  Interest rates on savings accounts and CDs go up  Rates for loans and credit cards go up  It can strengthen the dollar thereby attracting foreign investors   It can slow down economic activity and decrease the rate of inflation  Similarly, when the rate goes down, you'll notice these changes:  Borrowing rates get cheaper, decreasing rates for loans and credit cards  Rates on savings accounts and CDs go down  It can weaken the dollar and deter foreign investors  Boost the stock market and stimulate economic growth by decreasing the borrowing costs for companies  The good news is that there are opportunities for all of us whatever the rate situation. We can use the rate environment to gauge what types of financial decisions we need to make.  This recent rate decrease should spark some considerations for anyone monitoring their financial position.   It may provide an opportunity to tweak some budget items. Pay attention to your interest rates. If they go down, it could free up some cash that you could then reallocate to other budget line items.   Talk to a financial professional about your investment mix and ask whether adjustments should be made. Because the stock market is likely to be affected by the change in interest rates this might be a good time to reevaluate your investment portfolio to adapt to the changing economic climate.   It might be a good time to refinance any existing loans like your auto or house loan or even a good time for debt consolidation. Talk to a financial professional or mortgage originator to get an idea of any new rate and term options that may now be available.  For those waiting for lower rates, it might finally provide an opportunity to make that larger purchase, like a house.  Due to the recent decision to lower the Fed rate, we are likely to see changes coming across the financial world in the coming months that will likely usher in new financial opportunities.   To learn more about the fed funds rate and how it can impact your finances, as well as the Forbes article mentioned earlier in this episode, check out the list of links in the show notes for more information.  If there are any other tips or topics, you'd like us to cover, let us know at tcupodcast@trianglecu.org.  Like and follow our Making Money Personal FB and IG page and look for our sponsor, Triangle Credit Union on social media to share your thoughts.   Thanks for listening to today's Money Tip Tuesday and be sure to check out our other tips and episodes on the Making Money Personal podcast.   Have a great day! 

High Inflation is no longer the only risk to the economy according to Jerome Powell, Federal Reserve Chairman. Unemployment has risen over the past three months.   The "Sahm Rule" says that when the three-month moving average of the jobless rate rises by at least a half-percentage point from its low during the previous 12 months, then a recession has started. This rule would have signaled every recession since 1970. Unemployment is currently 0.43% higher than it was last year. If unemployment increases another 0.07%, one of the most accurate economic indicators predicting recession will trigger.   I believe we are in for a chaotic year and a bumpy economic ride this year. It would be wise to protect your assets. Diversify. Reduce your risk. Reduce your tax liability. Increase returns safely. Increase liquidity to take advantage of future opportunities.   This is the best time to invest in high cash value dividend paying policies and annuities in 40+ years due to higher interest rates!   You can invest in high cash value Your Personal Bank TM policies that are insured, with guarantees, income tax-free, highly liquid, and likely to increase returns for the next 5-10 years!

Stocks hit new records to kick off the week, driven by more positive comments from Federal Reserve Chairman, Jerome Powell, on cutting interest rates. What does this mean for the strong performing tech sector? With more dovish comments on interest rates, what's the outlook for US financials? Lastly, there's one misconception that could misguide investors. Willie Keng speaks to Chong Ser Jing, Co-founder and Portfolio Manager, Compounder Fund to dispel this myth about stock market peaks.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tom Bodrovics welcomes back once again, Dr. Stephen Leeb of Leeb Capital Management to discuss China's overall growth and the geopolitical impact. Leeb articulates his perspective that the recent slump in China's stocks has minimal effect on its general economy, albeit it may discourage some foreign investment. He argues that China's economic model takes a different approach, focusing largely on knowledge generation and innovation rather than relying heavily on financial markets. A Nature report indicates China surpassing the US in general scientific achievement for the first time, showing the country's advancements in technology. The report singles out China's long-term investment focus as the source of their success, drawing a parallel with Western countries' emphasis on short-term outcomes. Looking at the education backgrounds of top tech company heads, they are often originally from Asia, with examples illustrating that they have the capability to transform industries. A shift in corporate focus is observable, as evident with Microsoft's transition from PCs to the cloud. Yet, a clear concern is expressed regarding the growing disconnect between corporate heads and their employee base, possibly leading to classism issues. Dr. Leeb calls attention to the United States' current condition, making comparisons to China's technological advancement. He voices concerns about societal upheaval due to significant inequalities and a lack of unified mission, cautioning about events like the Civil War. Despite these issues, he remains optimistic, emphasizing the strength of American democratic values. Dr. Leeb explains his views on gold as a significant store of value over other assets. He challenges conventional financial wisdom with his argument that gold has proven to be a reliable safeguard during periods of instability, even though renowned financiers such as Charlie Munger and Warren Buffett disagree. A worldwide crisis is stressed as money unduly influences science. International cooperation is suggested as the key for global progress. He emphasizes China's defensive strategy in conflicts as a model, and strongly advocates for gold as a spiritual value and balance to materialism. Despite a critique of systems like Bitcoin, he expresses hope that future generations will appreciate the balance offered by gold.

It is important to admit when you are wrong. It may not happen often, but it does happen. Here is my error and why it happened. The Federal Reserve Chairman is a position with a lot of power. Essentially this person is god as everything he says or even infers is taken as gospel. The position does not pay millions of dollars a year and typically it is filled by an academic. Only rarely does it get filled by person with real life experience. So the attraction to the position is mainly for power and influence... and most important legacy.  So my error was in thinking that Jerome Powell wanted to be remembered as a Paul Volker type, who killed inflation. However after the recent Fed meeting, it appears as if Powell is comfortable becoming the next Arthur Burns... Who fell over himself and did nothing and maybe even helped the US experience inflations rates approaching 20%. It was a crazy period of time to say the least and Powell may have just blundered into Burns' mistake. Only time will tell, but arrogance knows no bounds.. Just ask our politicians.  Join us this week for a fun Holiday Special.

The Federal Reserve Chairman and the Treasury Department made two big announcements yesterday which say the 10 year treasury plummet in response.

The Federal Reserve Chairman, Jerome Powell, teased the likelihood of additional interest rate hikes in his testimony before the Senate Banking Committee this week. His comments were met with harsh criticisms from both sides of the aisle, with senators arguing that while inflation must be reduced, these hikes will cost millions of Americans their jobs. The beginning of 2023 saw positive economic trends, but inflation remains high at 6.4% and consumers are feeling it everywhere, from their grocery bills to the housing market. Co-host of The Big Money Show on FOX Business, Taylor Riggs, joins the Rundown to break down the Federal Reserve's ongoing struggle to control inflation, the negative impact further rate hikes could have on consumers, and whether or not the Fed can achieve a soft landing for the economy.

Tom Welcomes back Dr. Stephen Leeb. He is a financial author, wealth manager, and newsletter publisher. Stephen notes that BRICS+ move has been quite rapid away from Western markets. The Shanghai Cooperation Organization was formed initially between China and Russia. Its goals were security and economic growth. In 1996, India and Pakistan joined. They have a lot of cultural and political differences between them. They were seeking ways to harmonize economic growth while maintaining sovereignty of the nations involved. Likewise, they met recently with other nations like Saudi Arabia and Iran. Culturally they are rivals, but they are coming together. Many other countries are also now wanting to join one or both organizations. The World Gold Council wants to create a worldwide blockchain to bring discipline to the way countries use money. Stephen discusses why the gold standard brought stability to the economic system. Stephen believes that NATO is breaking as countries like Turkey, allies with Russia on gas distribution. Italy intends to exit the European Union and the Euro. Europe as a bloc is beginning to disintegrate. It seems clear that the attack on Nordstream pipeline was done by U.S. interests. Sanctions against Russia and China are damaging the technological growth of the West. He says, "We're at a critical point in human civilization."

CPI is skyrocketing at a “forceful and rapid” rate, according to Federal Reserve Chairman, Jerome Powell. Jamison, Heather, and, guest speaker, Mitch discuss the relevance of this news on Arizona Real Estate and the long-term impacts of such a volatile market. In Arizona, we see a large scarcity of housing and with that, not only comes higher mortgages, but also, increased rental rates. The cost of buying a home far exceeds that of renting, but with growing interest rates, a 6% rate might not be so bad to purchase a home.

A bipartisan gun safety bill appears poised to pass the Senate, possibly breaking gridlock in Congress on guns that has lasted years. The Federal Reserve Chairman testifies on inflation. And the January 6 panel reveals evidence of former President Trump's pressure campaign on state officials.

On today's show we are talking about why interest rates will continue to rise until more people lose their jobs. It sounds strange to say this, but the Fed wants to see people lose their jobs. On today's show I'm going to describe why that is. On yesterday's show we reviewed a new book written by Ben Bernanke, former chairman of the Federal Reserve. It was only after reading that book that I fully understood the comments being made by current Fed chairman Jerome Powell. There are two mandates at the Federal Reserve. 1) Help the economy achieve full employment 2) Maintain stability in financial markets including price stability. The second mandate really means managing inflation. It's no secret that we are experiencing a global inflation phenomenon. This is not limited to the US. But the theory is that when inflation becomes entrenched, then the expectation of inflation becomes much more difficult to overcome. The result is a wage and price spiral. We are now seeing employees demanding cost of living adjustments to cope with inflation. These adjustments were not happening on a large scale in 2021, but we are seeing both individual and collective agreements where employees are seeing wage gains in excess of 10%. The theory goes back to the inflationary period of the 1970's and 1980's. In those days the expectation of inflation became entrenched in society and a wage and price spiral took hold. Prices increased and employees demanded higher pay in order to keep up. Higher wages would translate into higher expenses which drove higher prices in an endless cycle. Unemployment is currently running at 3.6%. This is the lowest unemployment since the 1950's. Unemployment below 4% is considered to be full employment. So the economists at the Fed know that until unemployment jumps to maybe 5-6% we will continue to see an upward spiral on both wage and price growth. The current chair of the Federal Reserve must be very guarded in their language. Their words have the power to influence the market in both the short term and the long term. But a past Federal Reserve Chairman is not bound by the same constraints. In my view, after reading Ben Bernanke's book, I believe I understand the relationships that are at the core of the economic models they are using the to explain how our economy functions. The Fed's dual mandate is to deliver full employment, and to manage price stability. They must have both, not just one and not the other. If they have to sacrifice one of those two metrics temporarily in order to get both, I'm convinced that they will allow unemployment to rise in order to stop inflation. -------------------- Host: Victor Menasce email: podcast@victorjm.com

Tom Welcomes back Dr. Stephen Leeb. He is a financial author, wealth manager, and newsletter publisher. Stephen discusses the difficulties the world is facing and the need a shift gears to a better world. It's quite hard to sort the misinformation from the truth at this time. He says, "Since we've gone off the gold standard this country has gone downhill. We used to have to earn our productivity but afterward, we could print as much money as we wanted. The gold standard held our feet to the fire always. Since then money has replaced growth." The damage that has been done by sanctioning Russia has impacted Europe and the rest of the world. It's resource scarcity, not climate change that is damaging economies. The crisis we have created in ourselves this country and investors need to protect themselves with gold. Problems are coming that may not be easily solved. Stephen compares the United States' actions around the Cuban Missile Crisis to what is occurring between Russia and Ukraine. Stephen discusses the importance of rare earth metals and the unfortunate reliance of the United States on other countries for various natural resources. In the 1990's we were the only place to get and process rare earths but we sold everything to China under Clinton. Our military could lose all functionality should we lose access to these metals. This country has lost much of its capabilities. He proposes some possible explanations for why China has been locking down and limiting Shanghai's port activity. Food and energy are becoming an existential crisis. Ukraine has the best soil and above all, we need cooperation and technological development.
