Tom welcomes back Chris Vermeulen, the founder of The Technical Traders, to discuss the highly volatile year of 2025 so far. He notes that volatility has been extreme across various asset classes, driven by factors like geopolitical tensions, AI advancements, and fears of an impending recession. Vermeulen emphasized that while day traders thrive in such environments due to significant intraday swings, swing traders face increased risks with massive price gaps. Long-term investors should prioritize capital preservation by moving to cash until market clarity emerges, as he believes a bear market has already begun. He warned against the "buy the dip" mentality, especially for those nearing retirement, cautioning that this approach could lead to significant losses in a prolonged bear market. Vermeulen points out key indicators of an impending financial reset, including economic data showing hiring declines and rising unemployment, as well as housing market corrections with inventories soaring. Gold was discussed as a safe haven asset, though Vermeulen cautioned about potential pullbacks. He suggested that gold miners could offer better opportunities once the market stabilizes. Seasonality plays a role in his analysis, noting that stock markets typically struggle post-May, aligning with his bearish outlook. Real estate was also addressed, with Vermeulen predicting price drops of 15-20% and warning about the broader economic impact as housing values decline. He highlighted the psychological effect on investors when their largest asset depreciates, potentially leading to panic selling across markets. The U.S. dollar's potential strength was discussed, with Vermeulen suggesting it could rally in a risk-off environment.

He comments on cycles, empire, financialization, consumption, true wealth, how the future will go to those who can get the most out of the resources they extract, and why a new mythology and revolution in social and cultural values is needed.

Tom welcomes back Chris Vermeulen, the founder of The Technical Traders, to discuss market trends post-election and the impact of the looming economic debt situation. According to Chris, the small business sector has seen significant growth since Trump's win, as indicated by the Russell 2000's jump. However, he believes that the end of the economic cycle is near and advises investors to consider defensive assets like gold and utilities due to market uncertainty. Chris identifies the current market stage as a potential topping phase, with signs such as resistance levels in gold and energy stocks. Chris highlights the challenges facing the economy, including an expensive housing market, rising unemployment, and struggling business sales in the S&P 500. Delinquencies for credit cards and commercial real estate mortgages are increasing, signaling a potential looming financial reset. The nervousness within the market is evident through strong performances of the U.S. dollar and gold as safe havens, with the New York Stock Exchange experiencing distribution selling and institutions unloading large shares. Despite a bullish stance on equities, Chris suggests investing in bonds, the dollar, or cash during market volatility before transitioning to an inverse ETF during a potential bear market. He is excited about Bitcoin's potential upward movement, predicting price targets using Fibonacci extensions and technical analysis, but remains skeptical of it as a long-term investment due to its volatile nature. Chris expresses his concerns about gold from a cyclical standpoint, acknowledging that it has reached a significant resistance level, which is part of a 15-year cycle pattern. He suggests that the measured move is complete and that gold might consolidate before potentially moving up to around $3000. Chris emphasizes this doesn't mean a downward trend but rather a pause in the uptrend. Chris also believes that the Russell 2000, representing small caps in the US, serves as an indicator of when money might move out of riskier stocks into safe-havens like gold and the dollar. He anticipates gold will resume its defensive role once the stock market starts to show weakness, making it an attractive investment option again.

It's that time of year again! In this episode, host and CEO of Kickstart Accounting, Inc., Danielle Hayden, dives into the topic on every business owner's mind toward the end of the year—bonuses—a perfect way to celebrate and reward your team's hard work! With Danielle's easy 4-step framework, she'll walk you through how to structure bonuses thoughtfully, so you can show appreciation while keeping your business financially strong. Get ready to learn practical, step-by-step strategies that will help make rewarding your team a stress-free, financially savvy experience! Key Takeaways: Determine Profitability: Only consider bonuses if your business is profitable, verified by examining the year-to-date net income. Check Cash Reserves: Ensure that sufficient cash is available to avoid cash flow issues. Ideally, set aside funds throughout the year to prepare for bonuses. Allocate a Bonus Pool: Danielle recommends distributing 10% of net income as a guideline, though this depends on your business's performance and goals. Identify Eligible Employees: Assess eligibility by listing all employees and evaluating their tenure, alignment with company values, and overall performance over the year. She suggests categorizing performance levels (exceptional, meets expectations, or below expectations) to ensure fair distribution. Plan the Timing: Choose when to pay bonuses based on tax strategy. Paying before year-end counts toward this year's expenses, while paying afterward counts toward next year. Topics Discussed: Introduction to Team Bonuses and Financial Stability (00:00:00 - 00:00:51) Framework Overview for Bonus Distribution (00:00:51 - 00:01:25) Step 1: Determine Year-to-Date Net Income (00:01:25 - 00:02:45) Step 2: Check Cash Balance (00:02:45 - 00:03:27) Step 3: Decide Bonus Pool Amount (00:03:27 - 00:04:09) Step 4: Identify Eligible Employees (00:04:09 - 00:06:28) Step 5: Importance of Timing for Tax Purposes (00:07:30 - 00:08:47) Summary of Bonus Distribution Framework (00:08:47 - 00:09:55)   Book a Call with Kickstart Accounting, Inc.: https://www.kickstartaccountinginc.com/book    Connect with Kickstart Accounting, Inc.: Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/Kickstartaccounting YouTube | https://www.youtube.com/@businessbythebooks  Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/kickstartaccountinginc

Key Takeaways: Determine Profitability: Only consider bonuses if your business is profitable, verified by examining the year-to-date net income. Check Cash Reserves: Ensure that sufficient cash is available to avoid cash flow issues. Ideally, set aside funds throughout the year to prepare for bonuses. Allocate a Bonus Pool: Danielle recommends distributing 10% of net income as a guideline, though this depends on your business's performance and goals. Identify Eligible Employees: Assess eligibility by listing all employees and evaluating their tenure, alignment with company values, and overall performance over the year. She suggests categorizing performance levels (exceptional, meets expectations, or below expectations) to ensure fair distribution. Plan the Timing: Choose when to pay bonuses based on tax strategy. Paying before year-end counts toward this year's expenses, while paying afterward counts toward next year.

Welcome back to the Conscious Edge podcast! I'm Alecia St. Germain, and today, I had the immense pleasure of diving into a topic that hits home for so many of us—finances. I am thrilled to host Nikki Fraser from NextKey Services. She is joining me to talk money and finances.  Break the Cycle of Financial Avoidance Nikki explained that one of the tendencies of business owners is to avoid dealing with their finances until it's too late. Nikki emphasized the importance of understanding your numbers not just as a compliance exercise but as a strategic tool. The Power of Financial Clarity Nikki shared that having financial clarity brings energy and confidence to business owners. When you know your numbers, you can handle unexpected challenges, make informed decisions, and seize opportunities.  Budgeting as a Tool for Growth We also discussed the misconception that budgets are restrictive. Instead, Nikki views budgeting as a privilege and a tool to allocate resources effectively.  Preparing for Opportunities A significant takeaway from our conversation was the importance of being prepared for opportunities before they arise. Nikki advised having your financials in order and understanding your numbers to move quickly when opportunities present themselves.  Upcoming Workshop and Program Nikki and Dan are hosting a free "Level Up" workshop this summer, where they will teach their process for determining when it's time to make the next hire and how to manage your finances strategically. You can register here. If you've been putting off dealing with your finances, now is the time to take action. Embrace the clarity, energy, and confidence that come with understanding your numbers, and watch your business thrive.

Today, we're discussing why renting made great financial sense for Liz and myself for the last decade before we decided to own a home, shop, or even invest in larger pieces of equipment. Renting doesn't have to be for everyone, but if you're playing the long game, renting can help get you there, ironically, that much quicker.   https://www.lawntrepreneuracademy.com/link-membership Get Brian's Free Newsletter https://www.lawntrepreneuracademy.com/ Brian's Lawn Maintenance On YouTube   Brian's Lawn Maintenance On Instagram   Register for EQUIP 2024 (Save 50% with code Brian)   Plow Right Marking Stakes (Brians10)   Ballard-Inc.com (Brians10)   KUJO (Brians10)   Equipment Defender (Brians10)   https://gpstrackit.com/brianlm/   www.brandedbullinc.com Mention Brian and save $100 on a new website.   https://www.yardbook.com/   www.CycleCPA.com mention code: Brian to save $200.
