T-bills could be your worst investment Right off the bat you're thinking what how could they say such a thing? Warren Buffett has hundreds of billions of dollars in T-bills! Why do we think it's the worst investment? First off, Warren Buffett spends all day long reading, researching, analyzing and when he sees a good value investment, he will likely sell what he needs from T-bills to buy those good long-term investments. If you are someone that needs the money in 2 to 3 years, then this belief does not apply to you as T-bills are a great place to have your short-term money. But if you're a longer-term investor, and you want your money to grow for you, I worry that T-bills are not a great place for you. What will likely happen is that you will feel safe for a while, especially when the correction comes. You'll be glad you have money in T-bills, but you probably won't pull the trigger when lower equity prices arrive because you will feel comfortable with the safety and no volatility of your T-bills. Unfortunately, what will then happen down the road is you will eventually get tired of getting a lower return as interest rates drop and your T-bill is only earning you 2 to 3%. You will then likely want to move to something else and maybe do something silly like look at the past performance of equities and buy after stocks go back up after the correction. When it comes to investing, be sure to use the right tool for the right job. A T-bill is not the right tool for long term investors unless you really are a skilled investor and know how to navigate the volatility in equities. One forgotten component of Tesla's business has a huge impact on profits! Tesla reported numbers that were ahead of analyst expectations, but I wouldn't say I was overly impressed. Sales increased 8% compared to last year and earnings per share of 72 cents did top expectations of 58 cents. This was a growth of 9.1% for EPS when compared to Q3 2023 EPS of 66 cents. The interesting component that people forget about is revenue from automotive regulatory tax credits. To comply with emissions regulations that are set by authorities including the United States and European Union, other automakers purchase credits from Tesla. In the most recent quarter, this added $739 million worth of revenue. While this is just under 3% of total revenue, this is essentially pure profit for the company, which means it likely accounted for close to 34% of the company's $2.17 B worth of net income. As other companies continue to ramp up their own EV and hybrid plans, a big question I would have is will they need as many credits from Tesla? Also, if there is a change in leadership after this election, will there be a reduction in regulatory requirements that could decrease the need for other automakers to purchase these credits? This could cause problems for Tesla as it would lose a very high margin component of its business. It is hard to bet against Elon considering his successes, but I have a hard time recommending this stock since it still trades at around 70x 2025 expected earnings. With that type of multiple we need to see much higher growth for sales and earnings than what we saw this quarter. Elon did mention his “best guess” for vehicle growth next year is 20% to 30%, which is one reason the stock shot higher. This seems quite ambitious and I'd be curious where that growth is expected to come from. I would say Tesla bulls continue to point towards autonomy as a potential reason to buy the stock, but at this point I would say that is a huge gamble given the elevated level of uncertainty in that space. Elon did say on the earnings call that Tesla has developed a ride-hailing app that some employees in California have been able to use this year and he expects the service to roll out for public use next year in California and Texas. The company intends to use it for a robotaxi network in the future. With that said, according to a list of permits issued on the California Public Utilities Commission's website, Tesla isn't currently licensed to operate a commercial, transportation network company or ride-hailing service in California. From a regulatory standpoint, I would say Tesla is behind both Waymo and Cruise. Luxury brands lose excitement as thriftiness takes over in this slowing economy Luxury brands like Gucci, Louis Vuitton and Chanel have seen a big decline in their sales growth. These luxury brands have increased their prices so much to try and keep their products exclusive. The push back towards exclusivity came after the Covid giveaway years where many consumers became short term purchasers. Unfortunately, this has turned off their normal elite customers who saw how ridiculous it was to see prices climb from 2019 to 2024 by 50 to 100 percent. They may be rich, but they are not stupid. As things have slowed, on social media and YouTube frugality has become cool once again. This includes talking about the deals you got or even buying knockoffs, which have a new name called dupes. On many of the posts on social media and other places it is now cool to show off your dupe that you purchased and how much you saved. I remember a couple years ago I talked about how the hype for expensive purses and brand names would not continue to rise. I think we have now hit the turning point where many people who pay those higher prices for purses or shoes will not be able to sell them for anything close to what they paid for them. The reason for that is you're no longer competing on price with the brand names but now many consumers buying secondhand will compare that price to the dupe and want to get a discount compared to the dupe price. I would not recommend investing any money into these ultra-luxury stocks, even though some are down between 40 and 50%. Many of them still trade at lofty valuations and sales growth has been cut from 20 to 30% down to 2%. Inheritance Issues with Annuities Annuities can be purchased with qualified (tax-deferred) funds or non-qualified (after-tax) funds. Because qualified money is tax-deferred all withdrawals or income taken is taxable at ordinary income rates to the owner or the beneficiaries. With non-qualified annuities, any gain in addition to the purchase amount will be taxable at ordinary income rates to the owner or beneficiaries. There is no step-up in basis at death and they do not receive the preferential lower tax rate treatment that capital gains and dividends do. The growth is tax-deferred, but it is deferred to a higher tax rate than other investment income. When a spouse inherits either a qualified or a non-qualified annuity, they may treat it as their own and retain all the options that their deceased spouse had. When someone other than a spouse inherits a qualified annuity, they have the ability to rollover those funds into an inherited IRA and will be subject to the 10-year rule like any other IRA. The most complicated situation is when you leave a non-qualified annuity to a non-spouse beneficiary. In this case the beneficiary is typically children of the owner and they have 2 options. They can either stretch the withdrawals from the annuity over their life expectancy, which is typically better for their tax situation as they can spread out the income over many years, or they can deplete the annuity in any way they want within 5 years. With the stretch option, they must take their first distribution within 12 months of the date of death of the owner or they will default to the 5-year option. This requirement often causes a problem for beneficiaries because if they forget to take that first withdrawal, they are forced to realize a potentially large amount of ordinary income in a short period of time. Owners of annuities need to understand their options so they can not only plan their own retirement income, but also have a plan for their estate. Companies Discussed: Capri Holdings Limited (CPRI), Expedia Group, Inc. (EXPE) & Highwood Properties, Inc. (HIW)

Test show for bible study
July 15, 2012. 121-minute recording given at Lower Hamlet, Plum Village by Thich Nhat Hanh. This is the seventh dharma talk of the Summer Opening and the talk was originally given in French. This is an English translation. We begin with a talk for the children. What is the Buddha? How can we make use of suffering? What can we do with anger? What is loving speech? The story of the corn plant. The method of meditation called Signlessness. Uses the birth of a child to illustrate. Following the talk for children, the main talk begins at 53-minutes into the recording. In classical science things are all outside of each other. In modern science, quantum physics, we see that things are inside each other. In Buddhism, we try to look this way. There is no separate self. Coexistence. This is, because that is. Interbeing. A teaching in the Four Noble Truths. Why do we have suffering? Hiw do we get understanding and love? How can we see the all in the one? The noble eightfold path beginning with Right View (the fruit of our meditation). The notions of being and non-being. Right Thinking. Right Speech. Right Action.
