Declining CPI opens door to lower interest rates Inflation concerns are falling as the July Consumer Price Index (CPI) showed an increase of 2.9% compared to last year, this would mark the lowest reading since March 2021. Core CPI, which excludes food and energy was also positive as it came in at 3.2% which would mark the lowest reading since April 2021. Areas that continued to put upward pressure on inflation included food away from home (+4.1%), electricity (+4.9%), and motor vehicle insurance (+18.6%). Other areas that used to be problematic have now reversed course and are benefitting the inflation report. This includes used cars and trucks (-10.9%) and new vehicles (-1.0%). Shelter continues to be the heavyweight in the report as the category increased 5.1% compared to last year and accounted for over 70% of the increase in core CPI. If shelter was stripped out, CPI would have increased just 1.7% compared to last year. I believe we'll continue to see further progress on inflation as we end the year. Retail sales data shows people are still spending money Data points continued to come in favorably for the Fed this week as retail sales increased 1.0% compared to last month. This easily topped the estimate of 0.3%. Looking compared to last year, retail sales were up a healthy 2.7%. Nonstore retailers continued to see strong growth with a 6.7% gain compared to last year and while growth has slowed, food services and drinking places still showed good growth of 3.4%. It appears both electronics and appliance stores and building material & garden equipment & supplies dealers have bottomed with gains of 5.2% and 0.4% respectively. This is the first time I remember seeing a positive gain in building material & garden equipment & supplies dealers in a long time. Furniture & home furnishing stores did remain a drag on the report as sales declined 2.4% compared to last year. Overall, I believe this was a great report considering we are seeing inflation slow and the consumer is still willing to spend. The soft landing many have wondered about is looking more and more possible with reports like this. Are separately managed funds best for you? At Wilsey Asset Management, we manage all our accounts separately and have done that now for over 30 years. What that means is our clients actually hold the securities in their portfolio versus buying shares in a mutual fund or ETF. This trend seems to be taking hold with other brokers as asset growth for separately managed accounts (SMAs) has been 30% over the past two years. SMA's are now at $2.4 trillion in assets in professionally managed accounts. This compares to $4.3 trillion in mutual funds and $1.9 trillion in ETF's. These managed accounts will generally use an outside money manager and it will not be quite as individualized as people would prefer. One thing to understand is the fees considering you are likely paying you're an advisor/broker a fee and then an additional fee to the SMA manager. Often times this strategy can cause confusion for the investor as well, sometimes we have seen this strategy produce 50 to 100 positions which can also be a nightmare to get out of. Lastly if you have questions on why certain positions are in the portfolio you will not be able to call and talk to the person making those investment decisions and you'll be stuck with a pre-scripted response from the broker. Be sure to ask your broker/advisor many questions if they are advising SMAs as it may sound better than it really is. Financial Planning: When to get Umbrella Insurance Both home and auto policies contain liability coverage, which pays in case you are sued for damaging property or if you are responsible for hurting someone. An example could be someone slipping on your driveway, but more commonly it is due to a bad car accident. An umbrella policy adds extra liability coverage that kicks in after the home and auto liability is exhausted. In recent years, litigation across the board has been rising, but also inflation has increased the cost of medical bills and auto repairs. This in turn has resulted in more umbrella claims as costs are more likely to exceed the coverage on home and auto polices alone. As a result, insurance carriers have increased premiums on umbrella policies (as well as home and auto policies) and have been more likely to deny umbrella coverage increases or coverage all together. Even with these cost increases, it is still relatively affordable at a few hundred dollars per year, so if you are underinsured you should consider purchasing a policy. Umbrella coverage comes in increments of $1 million, and the rule of thumb is to carry insurance equal to your net worth. However, this can be excessive in some circumstances as assets like qualified retirement accounts and home equity have some protection against lawsuits. Generally speaking, if your net worth is over a million, you should have an umbrella policy, and depending on your net worth, the types of assets you own, and your exposure to liability, you may need to carry higher amounts of coverage. The last thing you need after building a nest egg is for an unexpected lawsuit to take all your assets and put you back to square one.

We'd like to develop the commercial side a little bit more.” - Mayor Flynn, (12:10)“The nice thing about this area is there's people in Bentonville and in Northwest Arkansas who are very interested in connectivity.

Efficiency in the Supply Chain by a New Container Invention w/ Trevor Pan of BidBird AZ TRT S04 EP41 (204) 10-15-2023 Things We Learned This Week Malcolm McLean was the inventor of the shipping Container, and a key person in trade & globalization BidBird invented a container skin, a smooth panel for the side to reduce wind resistance & improve fuel efficiency Patent process and Patent Cooperation Treaty to register an invention in foreign countries Building a Prototype and doing a road test with a Truck plus a Container on a race track Guest: Tevor Pan, BidBird Principal Architect - February 2018 - Present Undergraduate Professional Degree - Landscape Architecture, Colorado State University, Fort Collins, Colorado 2003 Master Degree - Frank Lloyd Wright School of Architecture, Scottsdale, Arizona 2006 o Twitter o LinkedIn https://bidbird.co/about THE FIRST CONSTRUCTION MARKETPLACE, AT YOUR FINGERTIPS. Trevor Pan, BidBird Founder & registered Arizona architect. Spending 21 years as an architect immersed in construction, manufacturing, and design, I've built a unique understanding of the construction industry's constant movements and challenges. I know that construction professionals are exhausted by the RFP game—and the collusion that can come along with it. I've seen invasive service platforms that trap users into thinking they're a lead generating machine, but then unethically charge them thousands with no quality results. When I set off to launch BidBird, I wanted to eliminate the red tape and corruption for suppliers, manufacturers, contractors, and building owners. And when my barber approved the irresistible alliteration of the name, BidBird was born. BidBird is the new way for construction professionals to achieve a constant-but-necessary thing: capture competitive bids for their materials through an efficient process. At its core, our mission is simple. We connect construction industry professionals around the country through an honest platform that doesn't cost users unreasonable fees, or their dignity. With its simplicity comes big things. BidBird is an opportunity to beat out the “big guys” by just a penny, equalizing the hunt for businesses around the country. We strive to combine high-value jobs + the innovation to evolve with construction professionals' needs to transform businesses, one bid at a time. Notes: Seg 1 Preview clip of Trevor Pan Malcolm McLean and the History of the Container This leads to a new level of capitalism, modern globalization & wider trade Malcolm Mclean is the inventor of one of the most major inventions in history that affects people daily. He is also not known by many people despite the impact he has had. McLean owned a trucking company and he used to ship goods via boat. He'd be waiting on the docks with cotton in the 1940s in early 1950s for hours. Ships would be docked for a month, as men were loading crates by hand. The same system was being done with global trade and sea trade for thousands of years. Mclean got tired of this, and trying to figure out a solution to the problem like any entrepreneur. Find a need and fill it. January 1956 - he debuted the box ship. McLean got a $22 million loan & bought 2 World War II tankers and converted them. In April 1956 the first one sailed from New Jersey to Houston. This cut cost from 5.86 per to $.16, a 95% drop or 36 fold savings. Oct.1957 - the first real containership Gateway city launched. Trip went from New York to Florida to Texas and then on later to Puerto Rico. Per McLean, ‘the ship makes money when at sea'. In 1963, container ports had been created, by 1966 in Europe, 1967 Vietnam had container service, and 1969 Hong Kong and more Southeast Asia. McLean got a patent which is shared, called – standardization, and the standardize size container for shipping. He created a company, called Sealand Industries - which was then bought by RJ Reynolds. Eventually they were mergers and oil companies that bought out the line and today it's on by MAERSK. Goods are shipped today for pennies on the dollar, all because of McLean‘s invention. He changed global trade, shipping, oil exploration, and more. It's a multi trillion dollar invention. It also created port cities like Oakland. Every day it affects all sorts of goods and trades finance, big companies like Walmart and Apple. Not sure if we would have globalization if not for Mclean. At least not as fast. More Info on Malcolm McLean: HERE Seg 2 Trevor Pan of BidBird created a skin for a shipping container. Smooth out the side of the container and stops wind drag and the grooved pockets that are trapping air. It is a panel that is magnetically put on the side of a container. Saves mileage and fuel efficiency with truckers, likely will have the same effect on trains. Could even help fuel efficiency on freighter ships which are carrying 10 containers stack tie and 1000 feet long with hundreds of containers on a ship. Trevor started the company in 2020, with his background as an architect. Also has experience in coding and engineering. He has created construction materials. This led to him researching freight from East Asia to build and create its construction materials. Meanwhile the time during Covid and 2020 shipping rates were off the coast of California with the supply chain issues. Created his container skin and got the patent in July 2021. Seg 3 Process for an invention First, come up with the idea, which is easy. Then have to do a patent application. Now to the hard part, build a prototype. Then to the hardest part - you have to market and sell your initial product. Find the problem, solve a problem, create the solution, & find a client to sell to. Trevor did his own patent filing. Trevor had a background already with his design skills and had done a patent for previous inventions. Also did his own legal paperwork. Patents for shipping container scan. Under utility patents, which are patents for machines. Patent It Yourself - book by Donald Pressman Normally you would hire a patent agent or an attorney to file your patent but Trevor read the Pressman and did it himself. He was so obsessive, that he actually read a 6 Volume set on patent claims, which was over 2400 pages and took almost 6 months. Also got a Patent Cooperation Treaty so you do the work one time with filing the patent and then you can use the same patent template in multiple countries. The Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) assists applicants in seeking patent protection internationally for their inventions, helps patent offices with their patent granting decisions, and facilitates public access to a wealth of technical information relating to those inventions. By filing one international patent application under the PCT, applicants can simultaneously seek protection for an invention in a large number of countries. He is working on building a prototype to prove that his container scan is aerodynamic and would work on a real road test. He has contacted major industrial companies like Piedmont Plastics to build machine grade plastics. Also used a 3-D printing machine to create a mini prototype. Trevor has done the math to keep the magnets and panels on the side of a truck driving down the highway at 65 miles an hour. Regarding the marketing and sale of the product, Trevor actually contacted the top 6 logistics companies in the US and got little to no response. Seg 4 Big logistics companies like JB Hunt did not even respond to Trevor on his idea. Trevor has worked to sell his idea organically. He went to Innovation Zero trade show in London as well as a Sustainability Summit also in the London area being put on by the Economist. He was able to talk with the business and trade department in the UK. Has a contact who is a trucker, and would rent a raceway to test his prototype container skin on the road. Have to have flexibility to get a good idea going. Is also working on buying a shipping container. Researching shipping containers, you can get one for $500 from Russia. Actual cost for a container from the U.S. for about $3000. Putting together a patent, you have to do a search report to see if someone has an already patented the idea. This takes upwards of 1 year to file a patent. Trevor also reached out to government organizations about the fuel efficiency with his product. Reached out to the EPA, and their smart way program, to see about certifying the aerodynamic capabilities. The EPA contacted him but is not going to move forward with it. He also contacted an environmental organization in the state of California and did not get anywhere. Question: Since Trevor still needs to do the prototype and show a real world road test, is it too early to contact organizations as potential sponsors or clients? Sometimes the idea is too early, and the world is not ready yet.

About the Show:"We must not only learn to tolerate our differences. We must welcome them as the richness and diversity which can lead to true intelligence." ~ Albert EinsteinDepending on who you listen to here in Northwest Arkansas, we have more than 10,000 open positions that need to be filled. Most of the significant regional companies - Walmart, JB Hunt, Tyson, Simmons, and the University of Arkansas, are all hiring. It is a numbers game. The more firms recruit and interview, the more they can hire new talent. Of course, you want to find the right talent for the right jobs, but there may be many talented individuals in our community here in Northwest Arkansas that should be noticed. According to Daymara Baker, founder of Neurodiverse employer Rockin Baker, there are more than 4,000+ Neurodivergent people in Northwest Arkansas. All potential workers could or should be employed to fill many of these jobs that are available in the region. We spent some time discussing navigating the Neurodiverse workforce with Daymara and Margaret McCabe, former Dean of the University of Arkansas Law School and the parent of a Neurodiverse young adult who works with Daymara at Rockin Baker. If you have been on the fence about hiring someone from the Neurodiverse community, this is the episode for you to gain some understanding, insight, and perspective. You may just be one hire away from your next great team member.Daymara and Margaret make an excellent case for why this part of the workforce should be noticed.
