Podcast appearances and mentions of John Paulson

Thomas Kaplan, Chairman of Novagold (NG), says gold could become equal to the Dow. “Everyone is going to say that they want precious metals…and there isn't enough to go around at these price levels.” He argues that Novagold has the best “development story in the world today” for mining as it acquires Barrick Gold's (GOLD) stake in the Donlin mine along with John Paulson.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Erik Wetterling, Founder and Editor of The Hedgeless Horseman website, joins us to discuss opportunities he is seeing emerge in advanced gold developers as they enter the second wave higher of the Lassonde Curve.   We discuss the potential rerating opportunities present in company valuations, considering the higher underlying gold prices, improving economics of development-stage projects, and the potential for higher profit margins and quicker payback periods if these deposits can be fast-tracked into producing mines.   Erik mentions a number of nuances that he looks for or avoids as not all development-stage companies are on equal footing.   We discuss deposit size, grade, jurisdiction, what stage of economic study a project is at, strategic investments from larger producers, and the ability of management teams to either build or sell projects at a certain point in the commodities cycle.     During the course of the conversation we discuss examples of companies with compelling development-stage projects like the recent buyout of Barrick's position by John Paulson to team up with Nova Gold (NYSE American, TSX: NG) at Donlin Creek, Integra Resources (TSXV: ITR) (NYSE American: ITRG), Cabral Gold (TSXV: CBR) (OTCQX: CBGZF), Amex Exploration (TSXV: AMX) (OTCQX: AMXEF), Skeena Resources (TSX:SKE)(NYSE:SKE), and Troilus Gold (TSX: TLG) (OTCQX: CHXMF).   Click here to visit Erik's site – The Hedgeless Horseman

Podcast: All In Podcast https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1903539053099721166 19 Reasons Why The Fed Is At The Heart Of Our Economic Problems   The Federal Reserve operates in great secrecy  and it acts as if it is not accountable to the American people.    #1 The Federal Reserve is the central pillar of our debt-based financial system. The way our system is designed, normally no money comes into existence without more debt being created. But this creates a huge problem, because when a new dollar is created, the interest that will be owed on that new borrowed dollar is not also created at the same time. #2 The Federal Reserve and the bankers have a monopoly on the creation of this debt-based money. In the United States today, the only people that can create money are the bankers. You cannot create money. You would go to jail if you tried. Even the U.S. government is not permitted to create money. Although the U.S. Constitution specifically gives Congress the power to create money, the U.S. Congress has relinquished that power to the Federal Reserve. This gives the Federal Reserve an enormous amount of power.   #4 The Federal Reserve itself is not a profit-making institution.  Rather, it is a tool that enables others to make obscene amounts of money. There are many that think of the Federal Reserve as an evil profit-making machine.  But the truth is that the Fed itself wasn't designed to make money.  Rather, the system was set up so that others could make an obscene amount of money from all of the debt that the system creates.   #6 The Federal Reserve system is designed to cause inflation. As U.S. government debt expands at an exponential pace, it inevitably causes inflation. Most Americans believe that inflation is a fact of life, but the truth is that the United States has only had a major, ongoing problem with inflation since the Federal Reserve was created back in 1913. Sadly, the U.S. dollar has lost about 99 percent of its value since the Federal Reserve was created.   #11 The worse the debt problems caused by the Federal Reserve become, the more money the IRS needs to collect from the rest of us. If the U.S.

Những nền kinh tế châu Á, trong đó có Việt Nam, từng hưởng lợi trong trận thương chiến Mỹ-Trung dưới chính quyền Trump 2016-2020 sẽ « chật vật » hơn nhiều trong 4 năm tới vì chính sách bảo hộ « toàn diện » của Washington.  Nhật Bản, Hàn Quốc hay Đài Loan có nhiều cơ sở tại Hoa Lục trông thấy trước « một tai họa ». Tăng trưởng của châu Á lệ thuộc vào xuất khẩu, mỗi nước trong khu vực đang gấp rút đi tìm tìm chìa khóa để đối thoại với chính quyền Trump. Chưa đầy một tuần lễ từ khi Donald Trump đắc cử tổng thống Hoa Kỳ nhiệm kỳ thứ hai, tất cả các lãnh đạo Đông Nam Á cũng như trên toàn thế giới đều vội vã chúc mừng ông. Gần đây nhất tổng bí thư Đảng Cộng Sản Việt Nam, ông Tô Lâm hôm 12/11/2024 đã có cuộc điện đàm với tổng thống tân cử Donald Trump. Từ thủ tướng Malaysia đến đồng cấp Cam Bốt trong điện chúc mừng ông Trump cùng « tin tưởng vào vai trò thiết yếu của Hoa Kỳ trong việc duy trì ổn định, hòa bình và thịnh vượng » cho Đông Nam Á.Chỉ 48 giờ sau khi ông Trump tái đắc cử, cả Philippines lẫn Đài Loan cùng cho biết ý định « trang bị thêm vũ khí của Mỹ ». Theo đánh giá của báo tài chính Anh, Financial Times, Manila và Đài Bắc vừa xem đây là « những lá bùa hộ mệnh » để tăng cường khả năng phòng thủ trước những tham vọng của Trung Quốc vừa biết ý ông Trump thích khoe thành tích « giúp các công ty vũ khí của Mỹ bán được hàng ». Đây có thể là cách để thoát khỏi các gọng kềm từ chính sách « bảo hộ » của chính quyền Washington trong tương lai.Đông Nam Á trong thế « bất an » Trong nhiệm kỳ đầu 2016-2020 nhà tỷ phú New York Donald Trump đã sử dụng lá bài bảo hộ với tất cả các đối tác thương mại của Mỹ. Lần này châu Á, từ những quốc gia tiên tiến nhất như Nhật Bản, Hàn Quốc hay Đài Loan, đến khối Đông Nam Á đã sẵn sàng hay chưa cho một cuộc chiến thương mại thứ nhì xuất phát từ Mỹ ? Cuộc chiến này được cho là sẽ diễn ra với « cường độ mạnh hơn gấp bội » so với 5-6 năm trở về trước.Hãng tin Đức Deutsche Welle trích lời nhà nghiên cứu Việt Nam Lê Hồng Hiệp, viện nghiên cứu Đông Nam Á Singapore Yusof Ishak, cho rằng Đông Nam Á đã « chuẩn bị tốt hơn » để đối đầu với một cuộc chiến thương mại thứ nhì, khối này sẽ « nhanh chóng thích nghi với thực tế và sẽ bảo vệ quyền lợi của họ ». Vẫn theo Deutsche Welle « Việt Nam đặc biệt lo ngại do là nguồn xuất khẩu quan trọng nhất của Đông Nam Á sang Hoa Kỳ », trước cả Singapore. Năm 2023 « thặng dư thương mại của Việt Nam với Mỹ lên tới 96 tỷ đô la ».Cùng với Ấn Độ, Mêhicô… Việt Nam là một trong những quốc gia trên thế giới « hưởng lợi nhiều nhất » từ cuộc chiến thương mại Mỹ-Trung nhưng không là nền kinh tế Đông Nam Á duy nhất trong thế « bất an » trước viễn cảnh Washington từ tháng 1/2025 mở một cuộc chiến thương mại với toàn thế giới.Theo thẩm định của cơ quan tư vấn Oxford Economics kim ngạch xuất khẩu của cả khu vực châu Á, không kể Trung Quốc sẽ giảm 3% nếu ông Trump dựng lại các hàng rào thuế quan như từng cam kết trong thời kỳ vận động tranh cử, bởi vì ngoại trừ Lào, « Mỹ luôn là một trong những khách hàng quan trọng nhất » với tất cả các nền kinh tế còn lại.Vũ khí nào để Bắc Kinh đương đầu với trận chiến thương mại Trump 2.0 ? Tuy nhiên Trung Quốc mới là mục đích chính mà nhóm cố vấn của tổng thống Mỹ tương lai đang nhắm tới. Bằng chứng là Donald Trump mời hai nhân vật « diều hâu và có lập trường cứng rắn với Bắc Kinh » là các thượng nghị sĩ Marco Rubio và dân biểu Mike Waltz tham gia nội các ở hai vị trí quan trọng : ngoại trưởng và cố vấn an ninh quốc gia. Kèm theo đó là chủ trương « đánh thuế đến 60% vào hàng Trung Quốc bán sang Hoa Kỳ ». Nhật Bản, Hàn Quốc và cả Đài Loan có nhiều cơ sở sản xuất tại Hoa Lục trong thế bị động. Báo Japan Times nhắc lại « hiện có hơn 20.000 doanh nghiệp Nhật Bản cỡ vừa và nhỏ đang hiện diện tại Trung Quốc. Họ ý thức được là sẽ gặp khó khăn nếu muốn xuất khẩu sang Mỹ ». Chỉ riêng trong ngành ô tô, việc ông Trump báo trước một cuộc chiến thương mại với cả Mêhicô và Canada là « cú sét đánh ngang tai », với các hãng xe Nhật do số này đã mở nhà máy tại Mêhicô, sát cạnh cửa ngõ Hoa Kỳ. Chỉ riêng năm ngoái Nhật xuất khẩu 1,5 triệu chiếc xe sang Mỹ và đây là điểm đến lớn gấp hơn cả tổng số xe bán ra trên thị trường xứ hoa anh đào.Các chuyên gia được hãng tin Anh Reuters trích dẫn đồng loạt đưa ra nhiều lý do cho thấy ông Tập Cận Bình không ở trong « thế mạnh ». Thứ nhất tăng trưởng của Trung Quốc đang sa sút. Thứ hai là dưới nhiệm kỳ Trump lần trước, Bắc Kinh đã « bội ước » khi cam kết mua thêm 200 tỷ đô la hàng của Mỹ để thu hẹp thâm hụt thương mại của Hoa Kỳ với Trung Quốc. Lần này những hứa hẹn của Trung Quốc khó có tính thuyết phục một ông Trump có tính « thù dai ».Điểm thứ ba là Bắc Kinh không có phương tiện để « ăn miếng trả miếng » Washington : Tập Cận Bình không thể cũng áp dụng các hàng rào thuế quan đánh vào hàng Mỹ khi mà tiêu thụ nội địa Trung Quốc đã yếu kém trong lúc Trung Quốc cần xuất khẩu sang Âu, Mỹ để bảo đảm tăng trưởng nội địa. Hơn nữa tổng kim ngạch xuất khẩu của Trung Quốc vào Mỹ đã vượt ngưỡng 500 tỷ đô la, lớn gấp 3 so với nhập khẩu từ Hoa Kỳ. Theo định của ngân hàng UBS, nếu ông Trump áp thuế 60 % đánh vào xuất khẩu của Trung Quốc, GDP của nền kinh tế châu Á này « trong 12 tháng sắp tới sẽ giảm mất phân nửa », tức là rơi xuống còn khoảng 2,5 % một năm.Trên đài phát thanh Pháp France Inter, chuyên gia kinh tế Pháp, Antoine Bouet, giám đốc Trung Tâm Nghiên Cứu về Triển Vọng và Thông Tin Quốc Tế-CEPII chờ đợi, ông Trump ở nhiệm kỳ 2 sẽ mạnh tay hơn rất nhiều trong cuộc chiến thương mại, bất luận điều ấy gây thiệt hại cho chính các nhà sản xuất của Mỹ« Có nguy cơ là cuộc thương chiến sẽ nhanh chóng mở màn, căn cứ vào những tuyên bố của tổng thống tân cử Hoa Kỳ. Trump chủ trương đánh thuế trên toàn bộ các mặt hàng thâm nhập thị trường của Mỹ và đặc biệt là đánh thuế thuế đến 60 % và thậm chí là 100 % nhắm vào hàng từ Trung Quốc xuất khẩu sang Hoa Kỳ. Theo những thẩm định của trung tâm CEPII, điều đó có nghĩa là Washington trong tương lai sẽ tăng thuế hải quan đánh vào một khối lượng hàng trị giá 3.100 tỷ đô la và Mỹ. Để so sánh trong giai đoạn 2018-2019 chính Trump khi đó cũng đã dựng lại các hàng rào thuế quan nhắm vào 310 tỷ đô la kim ngạch nhập khẩu vào Hoa Kỳ. Thế rồi dưới thời tổng thống Biden, đầu năm nay cũng đã sử dụng đòn thuế hải quan này nhưng chỉ nhắm vào 18 tỷ đô la hàng được vào thị trường Mỹ. Nói cách khách, chính sách bảo hộ của Biden chỉ là một giọt nước trong biển cả ». Giám đốc trung tâm CEPII giải thích thêm :« Trước kia một món hàng được sản xuất chỉ tại một nơi, rồi được xuất khẩu sang một quốc gia khác. Thành thử tăng thuế hải quan là để bảo vệ các nhà sản xuất nội địa và đổi lại thì người tiêu dùng chịu trả giá đắt hơn. Nhưng trong thời buổi này, để có được một thành phẩm, các hãng xưởng nhập khẩu nhiều phụ tùng từ nước ngoài. Thí dụ như hãng máy bay Boeing của Mỹ cần nhập phụ tùng của nhiều nước, đặc biệt là của Pháp. Vậy thì đánh thuế nhập khẩu 10 % vào các phụ tùng này bất lợi cho chính Boeing và sẽ tác hại đến khả năng cạnh tranh của chính các tập đoàn Mỹ ».Về mặt chính trị, chủ trương tăng thuế hải quan vừa dễ hiểu vừa có sức thuyết phục lớn trong cuộc vận động tranh cử. Trump ở nhiệm kỳ tổng thống trước đã chứng minh ông là một chính khách « dám nói và dám làm » song theo quan điểm của Antoine Bouet việc tổng thống tân cử có ý định giao phó bộ Tài Chính cho một trong hai cố vấn kinh tế thân cận là John Paulson hay Scott Bessent (cả hai cùng là các nhà đầu tư và sáng lập viên các quỹ đầu cơ) cho thấy, Washington có vẻ muốn dùng đòn thuế quan để mặc cả với các đối tác của Hoa Kỳ. Antoine Bouet trung tâm CEPII :  « Có khả năng Donald Trump không thi hành các biện pháp đã loan báo nhưng sử dụng lá bài thuế hải quan này như một công cụ để đàm phán, để bắt các đối tác của Hoa Kỳ phải nhượng bộ. Trước mắt được biết là hai nhân vật đang được ban lãnh đạo của tổng thống tân cử liên lạc để mời tham gia nội các ở cương vị bộ trưởng Tài Chính Mỹ. Đó là các ông Scott Bessent và John Paulson. Bessent là sáng lập viên quỹ đầu tư Key Square. Còn Paulson điều hành một quỹ đầu tư khác tại New York. Cả hai nhà đầu tư này cùng chủ trương khai thác các hàng rào thuế quan như các công cụ để gây sức ép với các đối tác của Mỹ ». Với Trump ở Nhà Trắng, nên là bạn hay là thù của Mỹ ? Về phần mình giáo sư Thomas Porcher, trường quản trị kinh doanh Paris School of Business nhắc lại Mỹ có truyền thống bảo hộ lâu đời, Donald Trump không vị tổng thống đầu tiên đi theo khuynh hướng đó. Trên tờ giấy bạc 10 đô la của Mỹ là bức chân dung vị bộ trưởng Tài Chính đầu tiên Alexander Hamilton với chủ trương bảo vệ nền công nghiệp còn non trẻ của nước Mỹ. Còn trên tờ giấy bạc 1 đô la là hình ảnh của George Washington, người đầu tiên tuyên thệ nhậm chức tổng thống trong một bộ y phục được sản xuất 100 % tại Mỹ. Có chăng là Donald Trump chỉ áp dụng chính sách bảo hộ một cách « thô bạo » hơn các đời tổng thống tiền nhiệm ở Hoa Kỳ từ 3 thập niên qua :« Nếu tăng thuế hải quan đánh vào một mặt hàng không thể thay thế-tức là hàng không sản xuất ở Mỹ, điều đó có nghĩa là người tiêu dùng Mỹ sẽ phải gánh chịu khoản phí phụ trội đó, tức là lạm phát ở Hoa Kỳ sẽ bị đội lên thêm. Đối với những sản phẩm mà cũng được sản xuất tại Hoa Kỳ thì giá thành ở Mỹ cũng sẽ cao hơn so với ở các nước có nhân công rẻ, ở những quốc gia kém phát triển ít chú trọng đến các chuẩn mực về môi trường và xã hội. Trên thực tế, nhìn vào thương mại toàn cầu, cuộc chiến mậu dịch đã có từ 30 năm nay trên cơ sở các cuộc đối đầu về những chuẩn mực về xã hội, thuế khóa, môi trường ».

On October 23, 2024, Tom DiLorenzo appeared NOW with Stacy Washington, to explain how the Chinese Communist Party is imitating what the Federal Reserve did in the early 2000s.The original episode is available on SalemNewsChannel.com.Stacy Washington (SW): Welcome back to Salem News Channel. There's no room for argument when it comes to which candidate in this election will fix our economy. We know what both plans are, and John Paulson wrapped it up nicely on Fox Business.Fox Business: And I feel like it's so disingenuous of Kamala Harris to talk about plans to rein in inflation by, you know, getting corporations to admit that they've been price gouging. It's so disingenuous to not recognize the $7 trillion in spending on how we got there. Yeah, that's because they don't really have an economic plan. Their plan is spend, increase government spending, increase taxes, increase the deficit. That doesn't work.SW: Mm-hmm. So when business people talk about the economy in conjunction with the election, you get analysis like that, not, oh, he can't be my babysitter, so he can't be my president. We turn now to China's economy, trying to bolster it's standing by citizens investing in stocks. Joining me now to break this down is president of the Mises Institute, Thomas DiLorenzo. Thomas, welcome back to the program.Tom DiLorenzo (TD): Thanks for having me again, Stacy.SW: It's good to have you here. So talk to us about this. You have China's economy and they're allowing investments? What's going on here?TD: Well, I think what's going on is the Chinese Communist Party decided they basically want to imitate what our Federal Reserve did in the early 2000s. They're dropping interest rates and they do have allow private investment over there. And so they're claiming that the reduction in interest rates that is being caused by a flooding more money into the Chinese economy is going to stimulate their economy. That's the exact same argument that our Federal Reserve made in the early 2000s. They said they wanted to create a housing bubble. One of their advisors, Paul Krugman, the New York Times columnist, said after the stock market crash of 2000, he said in the New York Times, we need to create a housing market bubble. Well, they did. And the Chinese economists, or Chinese government, I just read today, said the same thing. They said they want to create, they didn't call it a bubble, they want to create "investment in housing". But that's what will happen. They're flooding their economy with money and lowering interest rates, creating some sort of housing bubble. So investors are looking at this and they're saying, well, if the Chinese economy picks up and maybe doubles the GDP growth, well, people are going to be wealthy enough to be gambling, again, in Macau, where all these American casinos are located. That's where the investment is going now. The speculative investment is going into these mostly American-owned casinos in Macau, part of China, and the price of the stocks of these casinos has been going up very, very strongly in the last day or two because of that. But bubbles always burst. And so they'll probably create some temporary prosperity, but the bubble will burst and no one can predict when the bubble will burst, but it will. And then that's what happens when the central banks create too much money.SW: So what happens in conjunction with our economy? Because like it or not, the American economy is impacted by what happens in China because they're a major trading partner for us. When their bubble bursts, what will we see happening here?TD: Well, when China or any country becomes more prosperous, they have a better ability to buy American goods, American exports. And so it wouldn't be good in general for them to become poorer when the bubble bursts. But in the meantime, the American casino companies will do very well and everything related to the casino companies in Las Vegas, because they have these very big businesses in Macau now, very big casinos, some much bigger than the ones in Las Vegas. And so that part of the US economy will be prospering temporarily, but it'll create a bust in China, just like it creates a bust in America or England or France or Mexico or anywhere else, whenever the central bank, ours is called the Federal Reserve, steps on the gas and prints too much money. That's what happened in 2008. We had the bubble in real estate that burst. It was right after a bubble that was created in a stock market, yet again, in 2000, that bubble burst and we had a recession thereafter. It wasn't nearly as bad as the '08 recession, but it was a recession, very deep recession. And that's what's going to happen in the economy in China, I believe.SW: So the thing that we're concerned with is obviously, I mean, it's a little bit of a flex that they're copying something that our Federal Reserve did years and years ago, but the end result will not be exactly what they're hoping for. So have they really looked at this? What do we know about their thought process for implementing this, knowing that the possibility, the end of it could be bad?TD: Well, it's interesting. Our politicians are always short-sighted because they're always looking to make themselves look good before the next election. But you've got a dictatorship in China, but they still want to be popular. They don't want to be overthrown, even if you're a dictator, especially in a country with over a billion people. And so what our politicians and politicians all over the world do is they know this. They can study the history as well as you or I can. And they know that they can pump up the economy, especially before an election, like in our economy, and which is what they're doing now, which is sort of a feeble attempt to cut interest rates a couple of weeks ago by the Federal Reserve to help the Kamala Harris campaign. But that seems to have backfired because mortgage rates are going back up this week. And so they know that, but the game is to make themselves look good temporarily. And then when the crash happens, they blame somebody else. It was like the Biden administration created all this inflation with the help of the Federal Reserve, printing money to finance all of their endless spending programs. And now they're blaming corporations for price gouging, which is very silly. It's sort of the propaganda tool that Democrats always use. You know, if these corporations have the ability to just willy-nilly raise prices like they do now, why don't they do it all the time? All of a sudden, Kamala Harris is running for president. All of a sudden, they decide, let's make more money with price gouging. And it makes no sense at all. So it's just a rhetorical mumbo jumbo. They're hoping that American voters are so ignorant that they will fall for this, the price gouging thing. And Chinese communist politicians are politicians. They don't want to make the public too angry with them. There's always a threat of a revolution or a revolt, even in communist countries like China, which has moved away from pure communism, of course, but their government still is a communist party of China. I think they're doing the same thing, basically, that our politicians do, trying to make themselves look good temporarily. And, from their perspective, they probably think, well, maybe that'll invite more foreign investment in China, if they can brag that their economy is growing. more robustly, there might be more foreign investment in China.SW: Well, I think what they're missing is that there is no shortcut to economic prosperity. Good policy year over year brings good prospects. It's actually a complex mix. You can't just have good policy. You also have to have a business environment, a regulatory environment, and you have to have people who are producing products, goods, and services. And then you have to have people who are earning money to be able to purchase it. So, you know, the communist paradigm goes against the free market system. And it's kind of hard for them to, you know, kind of pick and choose little bits of it that they wanna stick into their communist reality. I think it's interesting that they're at least acknowledging. This is an acknowledgement that their system doesn't really work and ours does. As flawed as ours is, it's far better than what they're working with. And I think that's the big takeaway here among the other details that you shared. Thomas DiLorenzo, president of the Mises Institute. Thank you, sir, for joining me today. TD: Thank you for having me.

Plus, China will cut the amount of cash banks need to have on hand by 50 basis points, Boeing gives its “best and final offer” to workers on strike, and Meta's AI chatbot might have a familiar voice.  John Paulson - 15:44 In this episode:John Paulson, @JpaulsonCEOBecky Quick, @BeckyQuickJoe Kernen, @JoeSquawkAndrew Ross Sorkin, @andrewrsorkinKatie Kramer, @Kramer_Katie

In this episode of the Capitalist Investor, Tony and Derek dive into a controversial headline from Fox Business involving billionaire hedge fund manager John Paulson's alarming statement on shifting to cash if Harris wins the presidency. With Luke on assignment, Tony and Derek explore the potential economic impacts of Harris's proposed tax policies, including increased corporate tax rates and a 25% unrealized gain tax on high-income earners. The hosts provide their insights on how these policies could affect the average investor and discuss investment strategies like active management and election-proof stocks. Don't miss this engaging discussion and feel free to share your thoughts and questions at info@swpconnect.com.1. John Paulson's Alarming HeadlineThe episode kicks off with hosts Derek and Tony delving into a startling announcement by billionaire hedge fund manager John Paulson. Paulson, known for being a Trump fundraiser, warned on Fox Business that he'd move to cash and gold if Kamala Harris were to win the presidency. The hosts express concerns about the potential ripple effects of such headlines on the average investor. While Paulson can afford to shift to cash, the average retiree cannot. Tony emphasized the principle of "time in the market is better than timing the market," arguing that knee-jerk reactions can result in missing out on both the market's peaks and valleys.2. Potential Economic Policies of a Harris PresidencyDerek and Tony also scrutinize the possible economic policies of a Kamala Harris presidency, notably her unclear stance on various issues. Derek points out her proposal to increase corporate tax rates to 28%, something that the hosts believe would be devastating for the markets. Tony further noted that higher taxes on the wealthy could end up leading to job cuts and reduced economic growth. Both hosts agreed that such economic policies could cause at least a 10% market correction.3. Active Management Versus Index FundsIn the middle of their discussion, Tony highlights the importance of active management, especially in volatile political climates. He argues that while the last few years have been relatively easy for index fund investors, times are changing. Active management, he believes, will shine through by identifying "election-proof" stocks. Tony cites companies like Cameco and General Dynamics as examples, explaining that both are likely to remain strong regardless of who wins the election.4. 25% Unrealized Gain Tax ProposalOne of the more controversial topics discussed was the potential for a 25% unrealized gain tax on individuals earning over $100 million. Tony warns that such a tax could be a "death strike" for the stock market. By taxing unrealized gains, individuals like Elon Musk would be forced to liquidate a significant portion of their holdings, causing market turmoil. The hosts question the foresight behind such policies, stressing that the repercussions would extend beyond the wealthy and impact the market at large.5. Conspiracy Theories and Political WealthIn a lighter yet thought-provoking segment, the hosts delve into a conspiracy theory regarding the enrichment of politicians. Tony muses about how many politicians, despite their relatively modest salaries, end up becoming incredibly wealthy through real estate and lucrative stock investments. He hypothesizes that if high taxes on the wealthy were implemented, even rich politicians could be privately lobbying against such changes to protect their own assets.The episode is a rich tapestry of financial insights, political analysis, and market strategies, making it a must-listen for anyone looking to understand the multifaceted impacts of the upcoming elections. As always, Derek and Tony encourage their listeners to send in their questions and show ideas to further explore these compelling topics.

This is get rich education.   Keith Weinhold (00:01:30) - Welcome to diary from Ellis Island, New York, to Ellensburg, Washington, and across 188 nations worldwide. I'm Keith Weinhold, and you're listening to get Rich education for the 508th consecutive week. Happy July. It's the first day of the quarter, and it's now the second half of the year. So late last year when you got takeaways from our goals episode here, I hope that you're still applying them today. We're doing something different on this show. For most episodes. I divulge a lot of my best guidance. Some even quote that material. But why don't I acknowledge others great quotes maxims in aphorisms along with some of my own? And then I'll tell you what you can learn from them. So yes, today it's about axioms, adages, mantras and quotes, maxims and aphorisms. Some of these you've heard, others you probably haven't.   Keith Weinhold (00:02:28) - The first one is the only place you get money is from other people. Yeah. Isn't that so solidly true? You've never received any money in your life from yourself, unless you try to counterfeit it and give it to yourself. It's always been from other people. When you realize that the only place that you do get money is from others, you realize the value of relationships and connectivity. The next one comes from the brilliant entrepreneurial coach Dan Sullivan. You are 100% disciplined to your set of habits. Gosh, this is a terrific reminder about the importance of how you have to often uncomfortably apply something new in order to up your skill set up your game. If you keep getting distracted, well, then that's a habit, and then you'll soon become disciplined to the habit of distraction. The next two go together, and they're about market investing. Nobody is more bearish than a sold out bull. And the other is bears make headlines. Bulls make money. Really the lesson there is that they're both reminders that it's better to stay invested rather than on the sidelines.   Keith Weinhold (00:03:53) - The next two are related to each other as well. Albert Einstein said, strive not to be a person of success, but rather to be a person of value. And then similarly, a more modern day spin on that. Tony Hsieh, the late CEO of Zappos. He said, Chase the vision, not the money and the money will end up following you. And the lesson here is, well, we'd all like more money, but if you focus on the money first, well then it doesn't want to follow you. You need to provide value and build the vision first, and then the money will follow and you know, to me, it's kind of like getting the girl if you act too interested in her and you get too aggressive, it's a turnoff. But if you quietly demonstrate that you're a person of value, or subtly suggest somehow in a way that their life could be improved by having a relationship with you or being around you, then they're more likely to follow. And yes, I'm fully aware that this is a heterosexual male analogy, and I use it because that is what I am.   Keith Weinhold (00:04:58) - So if you're something else, I'm sure you can follow along with that. The next quote is from Susie Kasam. Doubt kills more dreams than failure ever will. Gosh, isn't this so on point? It's about overcoming the fear in just trying. And then if you know that you've lived a life of trying, you're going to have fewer regrets. Thomas Edison yes, the light bulb guy in the co-founder of General Electric, he said the value of an idea lies in the using of it. Oh, yeah, that's a great reminder that knowledge isn't really power. It's knowledge plus action that creates power because an idea that remains idle doesn't do anyone any good. Hey, we're just getting started talking about investing in real estate quotes today here on episode 508 of get Rich education. And, you know, remarkably, these maxims and catchphrases, they're usually just 1 or 2 sentences, but yet they are so often packed with the wisdom such that these takeaways and lessons are like your three favorite ones today. They can change the trajectory of your entire life.   Keith Weinhold (00:06:20) - The next quote is one that I have said carefully bought real estate has the best risk adjusted return in. The world. And I don't need to explain that because we talk about that in some form or another on the show many weeks. Albert Schweitzer said success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you're doing, you will be successful. Yeah, I'd say that one is mostly true. Just mostly, though, there's no attribution here. On this next one, you might have heard the aphorism money is a terrible master, but an excellent servant. Yeah. Now, I've heard that one for a long time, and it took me a while to figure out what it really meant. And here's my take on that. If you make money, the master will. Then you'll, like, do almost anything. You'll trade your time for money. You'll sell your time for dollars instead. If you invest passively and it creates leveraged equity and income streams, oh, then money serves you.   Keith Weinhold (00:07:28) - It's no longer the master. That's what that means to me here in a real estate investor context. And, you know, it really underscores the importance of making money work for you. And is a follow up to last week's show. Whose money are we talking about here? Whose is it? It's focusing on getting other people's money to work for you, not just your own. Now, the next one is a quote that I've said on the show before, quite a while ago, though. And come on now, what would an episode about quotes, maxims and aphorisms be without some contribution from Mark Twain? Here Twain said, why not go out on a limb? That's where the fruit is. that's just so, so good in business and in so many facets of your life, constantly playing it safe is the riskiest thing that you can actually do. Because a risk averse investor places a ceiling on his or her potential in a risk averse person imposes an upper limit on their very legacy. In fact, episode 275 of the get Rich education podcast is named Go Out on Limb precisely because of this Twain quote.   Keith Weinhold (00:08:45) - So listen to that episode if you want to hear a whole lot more about that. It's actually one of Twain's lesser known quotes, but perhaps his best one. The next one comes from famous value investor Benjamin Graham. He said the individual investor should act consistently as an investor and not as a speculator. Okay, so what's the difference there? A speculator takes big risks in hopes of making large quick gains. Conversely, an investor focuses on risk appropriate strategies to pursue longer term goals, which is really consistent with being a prudent, disciplined real estate investor. Presidential advisor Bernard Baruch contributed this to the investing world. Don't try to buy at the bottom and sell at the top. It can't be done except by liars. yes. Tried to time the market. It might be tempting, but it rarely works because no one really knows when the market has reached its top or its bottom. All you can really hope to do is buy lower and sell higher. But you're never going to buy at the trough and sell at the peak.   Keith Weinhold (00:10:00) - And even buying lower and selling higher is harder to do than it sounds, even though everyone knows that's what they're supposed to do. Albert Einstein is back here, he said. Compound interest is the eighth wonder of the world. He who understands it earns it. He who doesn't pays it. And as you've learned here on the show on previous episodes, compound interest. It does work arithmetically, but not in real life would apply to the stock market. Of course. My quote contribution to the investing world on this is compound interest is weak. Compound leverage is powerful. I broke that down just last week on the show, so I won't explain that again. Now, really, a central mantra in GR principle is don't live below your means, grow your means. But I must tell you, I can't really take credit for coining that particular one because from the rich dad world, the quote is don't live below your means, expand your means. But I did hear that from them first, and though it can't be certain, I think it was Sharon letter that coined that one.   Keith Weinhold (00:11:13) - A lot of people don't know this, but she was the original co-author of the book. Rich dad, Poor Dad with Robert Kiyosaki. And Sharon has been here on the show before, and if I have her back, I will ask her if she is the one that coined that. Don't live below your means. Expand. Your means. But yeah, I mean, what this quote really means is, in this one finite life that you have here on Earth, why in the world would you not only choose to live below your means, but actually take time and effort learning how to do a better job of living below your means when it just makes you miserable after a while, when instead you could use those same efforts to grow your means and you can only cut down so far. And there's an unlimited ceiling on the upside. And now there is one caveat here. I understand that if you're just getting on your feet, well, then living below your means might be a necessity for you in the short term.   Keith Weinhold (00:12:08) - And what's an example of living below your means? It's eating junk food because it's cheap and filling, expanding your means. That might be doing something like learning how to do a cost segregation to accelerate your depreciation. Write off on your 20 unit apartment building. But you know, even if you're in hardship, I still like live within your means more than the scarcity minded guidance of live below your means. Next is a terrific one, and it really reinforces the last quote a rich man digs for gold. A poor man is concerned with the cost of a shovel. Oh yeah, that's so good. And I don't know who to attribute that to. It's about growing your means and taking on and actually embracing calculated risks. Not every risk, calculated risk. And you can also live that regret free life this way. In fact, episode 91 of this show is called A Rich Man Digs for gold. So you can get more inspiration for that from that episode. Okay, this one comes from the commodities world where there are notoriously volatile prices.   Keith Weinhold (00:13:18) - How do you make a million? You start with 2 million. now, this next one is one that I don't really agree with that much. You really heard this a lot the last few years. It applies when you have a mortgage on a property, and that is the house is the liability and the debt is the asset. I know people are trying to be crafty. People kind of use this pithy quote when they're discussing how those that locked in at those artificially low mortgage rates years ago considered the debt so good that it's an asset. It's like, yeah, I know what you're saying. And I love good real estate debt and leverage and all that, of course. But really, for you, truly, then if the House is a liability and the debt is an asset like you're saying, then give away the house to someone else. If it's such a liability, and keep the debt to pay off yourself if it's really such an asset. A little humorous here. Next, Forbes magazine said, how do you make a million marry a millionaire? Or better yet, divorce one then more? Real estate ish is Jack Miller's quote how do you become a millionaire? Well, you borrow $1 million and you pay it off.   Keith Weinhold (00:14:31) - And I think we can all relate to that here at GRE. Better yet, borrow $1 million and don't pay it off yourself. Have tenants and inflation pay it down for you. And you know, inflation is getting to be a problem for any of these, like century old classic quotes that have the word millionaire in them. Because having a net worth of a million that actually used to mean you were wealthy, and now it just means you're not poor, but you might even be below middle class. Now, you probably heard of some of these next ones, but let's talk about what they mean. Warren Buffett said the stock market is a device for transferring money from the impatient to the patient. And then Benjamin Franklin said an investment in knowledge pays the best interest. I mean, yeah, that's pretty on point stuff there when it comes to investing. Nothing will pay off more than educating yourself. So do some research before you jump in. And you've almost certainly heard this next one from Warren Buffett.   Speaker 4 (00:15:28) - You want to be greedy when others are fearful, and you want to be fearful when others are greedy.   Keith Weinhold (00:15:32) - That is, be prepared to invest in a down market and to get out in a soaring market. As per the philosophy of Warren Buffett, it's far too easy for investors to lose perspective when something big goes wrong. A lot of people panic and sell their investments. And looking at history. The markets recovered from the 2008 financial crisis. They recover from the dotcom crash. They even recover from the Great Depression, although it took a long time. So they're probably going to get through whatever comes next as well, if you really follow that through what Buffett said there. Well, then at a time like this now, I mean, you could be looking at shedding stocks as they continue to approach and break all time highs. Carlos Slim, hello said with a good perspective on history, we can have a better understanding of the past and present and thus a clear vision of the future. Sure. Okay, that quote like that probably didn't sound very snappy and it's really simple, but he's telling us that if you want to know the future, check on the past.   Keith Weinhold (00:16:39) - Not always, but often. It will tell you the future directory, or at least that trajectories range. And this is similar to how I often say take history over hunches, like when you're applying economics to real estate investing. Now this next guy has been a controversial figure, but George Soros said it's not whether you're right or wrong that's important, but how much money you make when you're right and how much you lose when you're wrong. Okay, I think that quote means that too many investors become almost obsessed with being right, even when the gains are small, winning big, and cutting your losses when you're wrong. They are more important than being right. Amazon founder Jeff Bezos said given a 10% chance of a 100 times payoff, you should take that bet every time. All right. Now, that's rather applicable to the high flying risk of, say, investing in startup companies. We'll see. Bezos himself, he took a lot of those bets, a 10% chance at a 100 X payoff. And that is exactly why he's one of the richest people in the world.   Keith Weinhold (00:17:49) - Now, if you haven't heard of John Bogle before, you should know who he is. He co-founded the Vanguard Group, and he's credited with popularizing the very concept of the index fund. I mean, Bogle transformed the entire investment management industry. John Bogle said, don't look for the needle in the haystack. Just buy the haystack. Okay? If it seems too hard to say, find the next Amazon. Well, John Bogle came up with the only sure way to get in on the action. By buying an index fund, investors can put a little bit of money into every stock, and that way they never miss out on the stock market's biggest winners. They're only going to have a small part. And what that means to a real estate investor is, say, rather than buying a single property in a really shabby neighborhood, that neighborhood will drag down your one property. So to apply boggles by the whole haystack quote. What you would do then is raise money to buy the entire block, or even the entire neighborhood and fix it up, therefore raising the values of all of the properties.   Keith Weinhold (00:18:55) - Back to Warren Buffett. He had this analogy about the high jump event from track and field. He said, I don't look to jump over seven foot bars. I look around for one foot bars that I can step over. Yeah. All right. I mean, investors often do make things too hard on themselves. The value stocks that Buffett prefers, they frequently outperform the market, making success easier. Supposedly sophisticated strategies like short selling. A lot of times they lose money in the long run. So profiting from those is more difficult. Now, you might have heard the quote, and it's from Philip Fisher. He said the stock market is filled with individuals who know the price of everything but the value of nothing. Yeah. I mean, that's really another testament to the fact that investing without an education and research that's ultimately going to lead to pretty regrettable investment decisions. Research is a lot more than just listening to the popular opinion out there, because people often just then invest on hype or momentum without understanding things like a company's fundamentals or what value they create for society, or being attentive to price to earnings ratios.   Keith Weinhold (00:20:08) - Even Robert Arnott said in investing, what is comfortable is rarely profitable. You know, that's pretty on point at times. You have to step out of your comfort zone to realize any big gains. Know the boundaries of your comfort zone. Practice stepping out of it in small doses. As much as you need to know the market, you need to know yourself too. Can you handle staying in when everyone else is jumping out, or do you have the guts to get out during the biggest rally of the century? You've got to have the stomach to be contrarian and see it through. Robert Allen said. How many millionaires do you know who have become wealthy by investing in savings accounts? I rest my case. That's the end of what Robert G. Allen said. Yeah, though inflation could cut out the millionaires part. Yeah I mean point well taken. No one builds wealth through a savings account. Now a savings account might be the right place for your emergency fund. It has a role, but it's not a wealth builder.   Keith Weinhold (00:21:10) - I mean, since we left the gold standard back in 1971, so many dollars get printed most years that savers become losers. Which, hey, that does bring us to Robert Kiyosaki. He's been a guest on the show here with us for times now, one of our most frequent guests ever. Here he is. The risks at Port Arthur. And you probably know what I'm going to say. He is, he said. Savers or losers? Debtors or winners of something that your parents probably would never want to know that you subscribed to your grandparents, especially. Yes, he is one of the kings of iconoclastic finance quotes. And as you know, I've got some contributions to that realm myself. But what Kiyosaki is saying is if you save 100 K under a mattress and inflation is 5%, well, now after a year you've only got 95 K in purchasing power. So therefore get out of dollars and get them invested. Even better than if you can get debt tied to a cash flowing leveraged asset. In fact, episode 212 of this very show is named Savers are Losers.   Keith Weinhold (00:22:18) - Debtors are winners. So I go deep on that theme there.

Listen to get Rich education with Keith Reinhold and don't quit your daydream.   Keith Weinhold (00:25:20) - Welcome back to Get Your Education. I'm your host, Keith Weiner. We're having some fun today, looking at and breaking down some of the great investing quotes, maxims, and aphorisms. Andrew Carnegie said, the wise young man or wage earner of today invests his money in real estate. Another one for Mark Twain here by land. They're not making it any more. You probably heard one or both of those. And yeah, Twain's time predated that of those islands that are built in Dubai. But Twain's point is still well taken. There is an inherent scarcity in land. Louis Glickman drove the point home about real estate investing when he simply said, the best investment on Earth is Earth. A Hebrew proverb goes as far as saying he is not a fool man who does not own a piece of land.   Keith Weinhold (00:26:18) - Wow, that's pretty profound right there. And if you're a female listener, yes, many of these timeless quotes from yesteryear harken back to a period when all of the landowners were men. President Franklin D Roosevelt, he has a real estate quote that you probably heard, but let's see what I think about it. Let's talk about it. Here it is. Real estate cannot be lost or stolen, nor can it be carried away, purchased with common sense, paid for in full and managed with reasonable care. It is about the safest investment in the world. That's from FDR. That's pretty good. I just don't know about the paid in full part because you lost your leverage. FDR, Johnny Isakson, a US senator, said, in the real estate business, you learn more about people and you learn more about community issues. You learn more about life. You learn more about the impact of government, probably more than any other profession that I know of. And that's good, really on point stuff there.   Keith Weinhold (00:27:23) - If you're a direct real estate investor like we are here, you really learn those things. If you're in, say, a REIT, well, you're not going to be exposed to that type of knowledge in experiences. Hazrat Ali Khan is a spiritualist and he said, some people look for a beautiful place, others make a place beautiful. Yeah, that's some mystical motivation for the house flipper or the value add real estate syndicator right there, Political economist John Stuart Mill, he said something you've probably heard before. Landlords grow rich in their sleep without working, risking or economizing. Oh, yes, you can have a real estate quotes episode without that classic one. Although rather than landlords growing rich in their sleep, the phrase real estate investors is likely more accurate. Don't wait to buy real estate. Buy real estate and wait. You've surely heard that one. You might not know that it was actor Will Rogers with that particular attribution, entrepreneur Marshall Field said buying real estate is not only the best way, the quickest way, the safest way, but the only way to become wealthy, billionaire John Paulson said.   Keith Weinhold (00:28:45) - I think buying a home is the best investment any individual can make. That's what Paulson said. let's give Paulson the benefit of the doubt here. Although Robert Kiyosaki famously said that a house is not an asset because an asset puts money in your pocket and your home takes money out of your pocket, well, a home is something that you get to live in, build family memories in, and you do get some leverage if you keep debt on your own home. So maybe that's more of what's behind John Paulson's maxim there. Notable entrepreneur Jesse Jones. He said I have always liked real estate, farmland, pasture land, timberland and city property. I have had experience with all of them. I guess I just naturally like the good Earth, which is the foundation of all our wealth. Business mogul Tamir Sapir said if you're not going to put your money in real estate, where else? Yeah, I guess that's a good question. Anthony hit real estate professional. He said to be successful in real estate, you must always inconsistently put your client's best interests first.   Keith Weinhold (00:30:00) - When you do, your personal needs will be realized beyond your greatest expectations. Yeah, I think he's talking about being a team player there. And if you're a real estate agent, it's about putting your client's needs over yours. If it's a landlord, perhaps then you're thinking about putting your tenants first and meeting their needs so that they stay in your property longer. Here's a quote that I've got to say I don't understand. It's from real estate mogul and shark tank shark Barbara Corcoran. She says a funny thing happens in real estate. When it comes back, it comes back like gangbusters. I don't really know what that means, and I don't know what a gangbuster is yet. I see that quote all over the place. I can't explain why that would be popular. I don't get it at all now, novelist Anthony Trollope said it is a comfortable feeling to know that you stand on your own ground. Land is about the only thing that can't fly away. Entrepreneur Armstrong Williams is here with this gem. Now one thing I tell everyone is to learn about real estate.   Keith Weinhold (00:31:12) - Repeat after me. Real estate provides the highest returns, the greatest values in the least risk. Yeah, that's a real motivator of a quote. As long as one knows what they're doing and buys, right? All of that could very well be true from Armstrong Williams. It was none other than John de Rockefeller that said the major fortunes in America have been made in land. Yeah, it's just really plain and simple there. John Jacob Astor, he got specific and more strategic here. This is Astor. He said, buy on the fringe and wait by land near a growing city. Buy real estate when other people want to sell and hold what you buy. I mean, yeah, that's pretty much an all timer right there from Astor. Winston Churchill said land monopoly is not only monopoly, it is by far the greatest of monopolies. It is a perpetual monopoly, and it is the mother of all other forms of monopoly. Yeah, interesting from Churchill. And there's a good chance that you haven't heard that one before.   Keith Weinhold (00:32:26) - Perhaps. So say, for example, if one owns real estate on all four corners of a busy street intersection, then that quote applies. It's like you've got a monopoly on a popular intersection. Russell Sage said. This real estate is an imperishable asset, ever increasing in value. It is the most solid security that human ingenuity has devised. It is the basis of all security and about the only indestructible security. That's from Russell Sage. And, you know, you know, something here is we've got lots of real estate specific quotes in this segment is that it is rare to nonexistent to see any negative quotes about real estate, about anyone saying anything bad about it. It's all positive stuff. Waxing eloquent about real estate. And there are a lot of reasons to do that. But not every real estate moment is great. Maybe this is all because nothing quotable is said when you find out that one of your tenants is a drug dealer. Well. Finance expert Susie Orman says this owning a home is a keystone of wealth, both financial affluence and emotional security.   Keith Weinhold (00:33:46) - Yeah, a lot like an earlier quote. A home is the only investment that you get the benefit of living in. Peter Lynch said. No, what you own and why you own it. I mean, that is short, sweet and it's just a really good reminder to you. Do you now own any properties that you would not buy again? And if you wouldn't buy it again, then should you consider selling it now? Not FDR, but Theodore Roosevelt. He said every person who invests. In well selected real estate in a growing section of a prosperous community, adopts the surest and safest method of becoming independent for real estate is the basis of wealth. That's Theodore Roosevelt. Yeah. He reiterates that you want to own most of your property in growing places, something that really hasn't changed over all this time. Coke Odyssey contributes to this. The house he looked at today and wanted to think about until tomorrow, maybe the same house someone looked at yesterday and will buy today. Oh, gosh, that's true.   Keith Weinhold (00:34:58) - I think that everyone has the story of the one that got away. Margaret Mitchell said the land is the only thing worth working for. Worth fighting for, worth dying for. Because it's the only thing that lasts. Yeah. Wow. Some real passion there from Margaret. Sir John Templeton said the four most dangerous words in investing are. It's different this time. Yeah. I think what Templeton is advising is to follow market trends in history. Don't speculate that this particular time will be any different. Warren Buffett said wide diversification is only required when investors do not understand what they are doing. Yeah, that insight from Buffett. That's pretty applicable when you understand that you've got to get good in a niche and then get rich in that niche, meaning being narrow. Why diversification? That's likely better when you're just beginning and you don't know much, but then you want to get niche in your big earning years. And then perhaps when you're older, you get diversified once again because you're more interested in just protecting what you have.   Keith Weinhold (00:36:15) - Robert Kiyosaki said it's not how much money you make, but how much money you keep, how hard it works for you, and how many generations you keep it for. Now there's something with tax efficiencies and more in that Kiyosaki quote. My friend Dave Zook, billionaire dollar syndicator and frequent guest on this show, he said, you can be conventional or you can be wealthy. Pick one. Oh yeah, I love that from Dave. Because if you do what everyone else does, you'll only get what everyone else got. And I've contributed some material here over 508 episodes of this show. Although I won't claim the eminence of some of the other luminaries of the past few centuries discussed today. I've been known to say these. You do care about what others think. That's your reputation. I've been known to say the scarcity mentality is abundant and the abundance mentality is scarce. And some say that in real estate, I was the first one to point out back in 2015 that real estate pays five ways. Another that I have is a critique of delayed gratification.   Keith Weinhold (00:37:31) - Now, some delayed gratification is okay early on in your life, but I've said too much delayed gratification becomes denied gratification. Here on Earth, you live just one life. Hey. And the other day, an entrepreneurial friend. I don't know. He seemed to think that I have the right life balance. I'm not sure if that's true or not, but here's what I told him. And I think he said this because he often sees me out to exercising and things. I told him I give my best to exercise. Business only gets left over time. That's because exercise is hard and making money is easy. Yeah, there it is. That's my take on that. And that's it for today. I hope that you got some learning, some perspective, a few laughs and that some thought was spurred inside your mind in order to give you at least one big, rich novel takeaway here. And it's probably best for you to refer back to this episode of quotes, maxims, and aphorisms. At times when you're feeling shaky about your investment decision making, or just other times of uncertainty.   Keith Weinhold (00:38:49) - Until next week, I'm your host, Keith Reinhold, and there's something else that I've been known to say.

It's no secret that there has been an unrelenting media narrative that portrays President Joe Biden having a pronounced fundraising edge over former President Donald Trump. However, the coming months could bear witness to a shift in this narrative, with numerous billionaire patrons ready to bolster Trump's coffers starting from April, as per a report by Fox News. Over the upcoming weekend, Trump is expected to be in Palm Beach, Florida, in the company of many major campaign donors at an 'Inaugural Leadership Dinner'. This prominent gathering could potentially help narrow the fundraising disparity between Trump and Biden. The dinner event will be spearheaded by hedge fund titan John Paulson, with assistances from financial magnate Robert Mercer and his daughter Rebekah, oil bigwig Harold Hamm, hotel entrepreneur Robert Bigelow, and casino kingpin Steve Wynn. Palm Beach is poised to become a political chessboard where the game of power and finances is played by these wealthy strategists. In the past, Bigelow and Hamm had directed their financial power towards Florida Governor Ron DeSantis for his presidential bid. A bid that ended in disappointment against Trump back in the primaries. Hamm also extended his financial support to Nikki Haley's presidential campaign, Fox News reported.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of NDO Podcast we visit with John Paulson, retired North Dakota USDA Wildlife Services director, about his love of turkey hunting, homemade wing bone calls, losing strikers, and other tricks of the trade just in time for spring turkey season.

This Day in Legal History: Biological Weapons Convention Goes into Force This day in legal history, March 26, 1975, marked a seminal moment in the global effort to curtail the proliferation of some of the most dangerous weapons known to humanity. The Convention on the Prohibition of the Development, Production and Stockpiling of Bacteriological (Biological) and Toxin Weapons and on their Destruction, more commonly known as the Biological Weapons Convention (BWC), officially went into force. This landmark treaty represented the first multilateral disarmament agreement banning an entire category of weapons of mass destruction. As of today, 162 countries have joined the Convention, committing themselves to a world free of biological threats by agreeing never to "develop, produce, stockpile or otherwise acquire or retain" biological weapons.The Convention not only prohibits the development and stockpiling of biological and toxin weapons but also mandates the destruction of any existing stockpiles, thereby setting a precedent for future disarmament treaties. Despite the widespread support, some signatory nations have maintained the right to possess certain biological agents and toxins for "prophylactic" purposes, a stipulation that underscores the complexities involved in the treaty's implementation and verification.Over the years, the BWC has faced challenges, including accusations of non-compliance and the difficulty of ensuring verification without an official monitoring body. Nonetheless, the Convention remains a critical component of the international security architecture, reflecting the global consensus against the use of disease as a weapon. On this anniversary, the international community continues to grapple with evolving threats in the realm of biological warfare, making the principles enshrined in the BWC as relevant as ever. As we reflect on the progress made since 1975, the ongoing commitment of signatory nations to the Convention's objectives is crucial for addressing contemporary and future biosecurity challenges.Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks, has been granted a temporary reprieve from extradition to the United States by London's High Court. This decision came after the court required the U.S. to assure that Assange would not face the death penalty if extradited. Assange is wanted in the U.S. on 18 counts, primarily under the Espionage Act, related to WikiLeaks' publication of confidential military and diplomatic documents. His legal battle in English courts has spanned over 13 years, with his lawyers recently challenging the UK's approval of his extradition. The High Court ruled that Assange could have a successful appeal based on several grounds, including the risk of being charged with a capital offense like treason in the future, despite current charges not carrying the death penalty.The court highlighted concerns, notably a past comment by former U.S. President Donald Trump suggesting the death penalty for WikiLeaks' activities, as indicative of the potential risks Assange faces. As a result, the U.S. has been given until April 16 to provide the necessary assurances, delaying Assange's extradition and scheduling a further hearing for May 20. Stella Assange, Julian's wife, praised the decision, calling for the Biden administration to drop the case altogether, which she deemed "shameful." While the court rejected Assange's appeal on claims of political motivation and unfair trial fears, his supporters continue to view him as a journalistic figure persecuted for exposing U.S. misconduct, despite U.S. authorities arguing his actions endangered lives by recklessly publishing sensitive information.Julian Assange wins temporary reprieve from extradition to US | ReutersRepublican donors rallied behind former U.S. President and presidential candidate Donald Trump to aid in funding the bond required for a $454 million civil fraud judgment against him. Before securing a reduction in the bond amount to $175 million, Trump faced the challenge of raising the full amount to avoid the seizure of his properties. Among the benefactors were billionaire hedge fund founder John Paulson and oil magnate Harold Hamm, although their exact contributions and the total amount raised were not disclosed. Also not disclosed, what they hoped to receive in return for bailing out the former president. Trump's legal battle centers on accusations of fraudulently inflating his net worth to obtain better terms for loans and insurance. Despite claims from Trump's campaign that there was no coordinated fundraising effort and assertions of possessing sufficient funds to cover the judgment, reports surfaced of significant offers from donors, including one who proposed over $10 million towards the bond. Following a court decision allowing for a smaller bond, Trump confirmed his capability to meet the requirement promptly, emphasizing his readiness to post the necessary cash, bonds, or securities.This situation underscores Trump's enduring support among wealthy allies as he navigates financial pressures from legal judgments and campaign expenses ahead of the November presidential election against Democrat Joe Biden. Notably, both Paulson and Hamm are actively involved in fundraising efforts for Trump's campaign, highlighting the complex role of big-money contributions in the political landscape. Additionally, Trump has hinted at considering Paulson for the Treasury Secretary position if reelected.The saga of funding Trump's bond raises questions about transparency and the potential for scrutiny from election regulators or federal prosecutors, given the limits on campaign contributions and the broad definition of political donations. The difficulty in securing a surety company for the original bond and the implications of asset seizure by the New York Attorney General add layers of complexity to Trump's ongoing legal and financial challenges.Billionaires sought to help fund Trump bond in civil fraud case, sources say | ReutersAndreas Bechtolsheim, the founder and former chairman of Arista Networks, has settled insider trading charges with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) by agreeing to pay a civil penalty of nearly $1 million. The settlement, which Bechtolsheim has entered without either admitting or denying the SEC's allegations, also includes a significant restriction on his future professional engagements. Specifically, Bechtolsheim will be barred from serving as an officer or director of any public company for the next five years, as detailed in the SEC's official statement. This resolution addresses the SEC's concerns regarding Bechtolsheim's conduct related to insider trading, marking the conclusion of the regulatory scrutiny he faced. The underlying alleged misconduct involved trading on Cisco's offer to purchase Acacia Communications in 2019. The agreement underscores the SEC's continued efforts to enforce securities laws and maintain fair trading practices within the U.S. financial markets.Former Arista Networks chairman settles insider trading charges, US SEC says | ReutersSun Founder Bechtolsheim Insider-Traded on Tech Deal, SEC Claims - BloombergIn my column this week, I delve into the expanding landscape of digital government services and the imperative it places on the government to ensure universal broadband access, particularly for individuals with lower income.The IRS Direct File pilot program represents a significant step towards offering a free, government-run electronic filing system to the public, aiming to address the long-standing demand fueled by the limitations and costs associated with for-profit tax preparation software. This initiative, however, faces considerable hurdles, notably in ensuring equitable broadband access, especially in rural areas, and the widespread availability of internet-capable devices. It also highlights the critical role of public libraries and their staff in facilitating access to digital tax services, underpinning the broader challenge of digital inclusivity and equity.As the success of Direct File is contingent upon robust and equitable internet access, the urgency to bridge the digital divide is accentuated, with a particular emphasis on innovative solutions and increased funding to enhance broadband connectivity. This includes exploring short-term alternatives such as subsidized satellite internet and bolstering public library resources to serve as pivotal access points for digital tax services.Despite nearly universal ownership of computers or smartphones in U.S. homes, disparities persist in broadband access across different demographic and regional groups, with a notable divide along age and racial lines, as well as significant gaps in rural areas and on American Tribal lands. These disparities underscore the challenges some individuals may face in accessing the Direct File portal, despite its mobile-friendly design.Further, the expiration and depletion of funding for the Affordable Connectivity Program in the coming months may kick as many as 23 million households offline–these households, as you might imagine, trend towards lower income. The very groups for which Direct File can provide the most benefit. In light of this, the importance of public libraries as access points for the internet and tax assistance cannot be overstated, with the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program poised to play a crucial role in expanding Direct File's reach. However, the reliance on library resources and staff underscores the need for targeted training and increased support for VITA volunteers, ensuring they are equipped to assist taxpayers with Direct File and other digital government services.Looking ahead, the expansion of government digital services, like Direct File, highlights the necessity of not only making these services accessible but ensuring equitable internet access to prevent digital exclusion. As the government moves more services online, it is imperative to address the digital divide and ensure that all individuals, regardless of their socioeconomic status or geographic location, can benefit from these advancements.IRS Direct File Should Ignite Push for Universal Internet Access Get full access to Minimum Competence - Daily Legal News Podcast at www.minimumcomp.com/subscribe

Performance artist and musician Tri Vo loves the work of Theater Mu, and he's looking forward to seeing them take on the horror genre in the world premiere of Keiko Green's play “Hells Canyon.” As with many classic horror pieces, we're headed to a cabin in the woods with a group of unsuspecting friends. They've booked a weekend trip in eastern Oregon, near Hells Canyon. In 1887, it was the location where white gang members massacred 34 Chinese gold miners, an actual event called the Hells Canyon Massacre.As the night progresses, supernatural forces threaten to break in, raising the temperature of the simmering tensions among the friends. Vo recalls being "freaked out” by the digital stage effects in Theater Mu's staging of “The Brothers Paranormal” in 2019, and he looks forward to seeing how this play and its stage effects work together to create an atmosphere of horror. “Hells Canyon” runs Feb. 24 — March 17 at the Jungle Theater in Minneapolis. There is a post-show playwright talkback on Feb 25. This show is recommended for ages 16 and up. Arts appreciator Natasha Brownlee of St. Paul enjoys both the music and the art of Ian Valor. She calls his solo art exhibit “Wild Imagination” at Vine Arts in Minneapolis a “conceptual dreamscape.” Brownlee was particularly intrigued by Valor's line drawings. Look closely, and you can see a single line of changing thickness; stand back, and the line coalesces into a single image. Valor is color blind, and his earlier work is in black and white. More recent works in color includes bold, eye-catching color combinations. Valor is the frontman of the rock group The Valors, and his art show also includes a wall of hand-lettered show posters for his and other bands. It's a visual dive into the local music scene. “Wild Imagination” is on view at Vine Arts Center in Minneapolis this Saturday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., with a closing artists reception from 5-8 p.m. John Carrier of Winona is a retired scenic carpenter and an ongoing jazz enthusiast. He's spreading the word about the debut album from H3O Jazz Trio, a father-and-sons group based in Winona. The father in the trio is a composer and former St. Mary's University assistant music professor named Eric Heukeshoven, who plays keyboard, among other instruments. The band also includes his sons, Max on bass and Hans on percussion and vibes. Carrier loves watching the trio improvise when they perform in person.  Their new album, “TafelJazz,” translates from German to “table-jazz,” a play on “table music.” Carrier says it's the perfect album to set the mood while sitting around the table with friends. The 12 original songs include guests Janet Heukeshoven on flute, John Paulson of Paulson Jazz and John Sievers of the Rochester-based D'Sievers. H3O will perform the full album this Sunday from 2-4 p.m. at Island City Brewing in Winona. Island City Brewing also hosts a Jazz Jam on the third Sunday of each month that combines local live jazz, local beer and local support; it's a fundraiser for a rotating series of area nonprofits. As of early February, H3O Jazz Trio and Island City Brewing helped support local nonprofits with over $43,000 in total donations from its monthly Jazz Jams. 

John's monologue this time is about Trump's directive to kill a border, immigration, and Ukraine aid bill to help his presidential campaign and make President Biden look bad. He plays a clip of Mitt Romney spilling the beans about Trump's plans to kill the bill for selfish reasons. Then, he interviews David Corn - who is the Washington, D.C. bureau chief for Mother Jones and is also a cable TV commentator. They talk about Trump during his New Hampshire victory speech -pointing out crooked donors Steve Wynn and John Paulson; Joe Manchin and The No Labels Party; and the continuing Putin/ Trump love affair tying into the Russian interference in the 2016 election. Next, he plays a clip of State Dept. Spokesperson Vedant Patel on a Gaza Cease-fire. He then takes calls from: Steve in Los Angeles on MTV Unplugged and the conspiracies surrounding Ivana Trump, Dave in Pennsylvania on Trump's gibberish, Rhonda in California on sharing a birthday with John, and Sean in California on Trump being disqualified.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Leonardo DiCaprio is back in the news and it's not for his latest movie, Killers of the Flower Moon. Sure, with his endless stream of 25-year-old girlfriends, we could be forgiven for thinking he's just another Pay Pig. But after further consideration, Carson and Freddy think there might be some master plan at work. Was Vittoria searching for Leo's stash of Skittles or just looking to add a little spice to the hors d'oeuvres? Speaking of having it stuck to you, John Paulson recently made headlines with a former business associate going for his own reach-around. Freddy unveils the latest crypto scam and, with Gen Z relying on TikTok for its news, there's very little question as to why degenerates continue to fall for the SBF's of the world.

Get ready for a captivating conversation with Neal Bawa, CEO of GroCapitus Investments and Multifamily University. This week we dive into investor's perspectives in today's economy and, more importantly, how the wrong one can be holding some back from opportunity. In addition, Neal unveils some interesting strategies to finding opportunities in today's economy outside of traditional multifamily. Whatever your prefered investment vehicles are, you'll be sure to gain some interesting insights in this episode. Key Takeaways: Mindset Matters: The right mindset is crucial for successful real estate investing. Shift from fear to confidence by understanding the market's current dynamics. Bridge the Buyer-Seller Gap: Recognize that there's always a gap in expectations between buyers and sellers. This gap exists even during market fluctuations. Embrace Opportunity in Distress: In times of economic uncertainty, distressed assets, like land, can offer significant discounts. Consider investing in illiquid assets when others hesitate. Patience and Discipline: Real estate investing is a long-term game. Patience, discipline, and a commitment to your strategy are key to achieving financial goals. Internalize Knowledge: When you learn something valuable, take time to internalize it. Believing in your investment decisions is critical for success. Learn from the Masters: Study successful investors like Warren Buffett and John Paulson. They faced fear but made informed decisions based on data, not emotions. Your Opportunity Awaits: Don't wait for a time machine. Seize the present moment. Take Neil Bawa's advice to heart and kickstart your real estate journey with confidence!

It's episode 110 and the economic data continue to come in strong. GDP growth for the 4th quarter was better than expected. We're seeing earnings growth relatively strong for the 4th quarter and guidance is not falling off a cliff. The data is coming in much better than what's been anticipated on Wall Street and the market is following suit. We're in a bull market. Prices are going higher. But is this a fakeout? Do you need to get to the sidelines right now? Is the economy ready to fall off a cliff? Or is this the real deal? Contrarian Costanza In one episode of Seinfeld, George figured that every decision in his life he made was wrong. He decided I'm going to do the opposite. I'm going to become the contrarian Costanza. So the George Costanza strategy is to do the opposite of what you think you should do. Or what the experts are telling you to do. In terms of the market, it worked out pretty well following that strategy over the last couple of months. Conventional wisdom turns out to be excessive pessimism Conventional wisdom over the last year was the Federal Reserve is going to have to get so aggressive, they are going to have to kneecap the economy and bring it down. It turns out that was more like excessive pessimism. The Payne view is always a bit contrarian. Last year is a perfect example. We had every strategist, and every economist extremely negative on the economy, extremely negative on the market. But if you're diversified, last year you were down around 10%. It's not that big a deal. And meanwhile, now markets are off to the races. And if you were sitting in cash, you try to time it. You've put yourself in a bad position now. ”If you were diversified last year you were down around 10%. It's not that big a deal. And meanwhile, now markets are off to the races.   Ryan Payne Germany is another example. Germany was the poster child of the worst place to be last year. They had an energy crisis because Russia invaded Ukraine. Yet Germany is up 40% since September. How can that possibly be? You have to be able to have the fortitude to invest when things are down and when the optimism is not there. Most of us project the future based on our most recent experience. And as you know, the year went by, the news got more down, and the market got more volatile. Anticipation is mitigation. Corporate CEOs last year were worried about a slowdown, just like everyone else. So what do they do? They got proactive very, very quickly. They start to rewrite their business in anticipation of things slowing down. So all this proactive activity is happening to make sure that their balance sheets stay in check. And that's why you always see the surprises in the positive because that anticipation is already happening as we're worrying about things, people are actually taking action. As the talking heads are telling us that the economy is slowing they're starting to reduce their earnings estimates. So when the estimates are met with the actual earnings, the market's not surprised by that. Bear market illusion. To some, it seems these bear markets last longer in their mind than they actually do. They do things like lock themselves into a 4% CD. Well, the market's up 6% now, and you have to wait a whole 12 months to get that 4%. And you've missed that move in the market. So it's amazing how quickly times can change and markets can change. Emerging markets are up 10% as we're recording this. You don't get that return back. You're not going to make any money unless you're invested in the market. ”Your boat's not going to go anywhere unless your sails are up.   Chris Payne $5 trillion sitting in money market funds earning 4%.  But what happens when you don't get 4%? And that 4% is over 12 month period. You've already missed the one-month period where you'd have a 50% better return. Think of the FOMO as the market rallies. With 5 trillion sitting in cash, while you're starting to see markets catch a fire. All these private equity firms sitting with all this cash and these big banks that have to put the money to work, or it goes back to their investors and they want to put it to work. Company buybacks. Chevron just raised its dividend. They announced a $75 billion buyback. Exxon came out with a similar buyback. So there's there is a lot of cash on the sidelines. And, the question is, where is that money going to go in the future? And the pressure, from professional money managers, from institutions, from hedge funds, and from individuals, it's just going to continue. ”Markets operate by discounting the current environment and looking to the future.   Bob Payne The Tipping Point: Lessons you can learn from last year Lesson #1 Inflation and Your Financial Plan Payne Point: inflation is real and you've got to account for it in your financial plan It's been in the headlines for the last year because especially since the Federal Reserve completely dropped the ball in not recognizing that inflation wasn't transitory initially. We're dealing with 40-year high inflation than we've had to deal with in 40 years. During the 40-year period, we still had inflation at 2%.  That still means a huge cost of living increase over your lifetime. Long-range planning should include inflation. Inflation is insidious, it's hidden, but it's real. A good rule of thumb we always use is you're going to have to double what you need to live on every 20 years. And most of us will be retired for up to 30 years plus. So you really have to account for your expenses doubling in retirement. And most of us don't do those calculations. ”A good rule of thumb we always use is you're going to have to double what you need to live on every 20 years.   Ryan Payne Lesson #2 Not knowing how much risk you have in your portfolio Payne Point: Many were overweighted in Tech. For a lot of the new clients that we brought on in the last year or so, the biggest issue was they didn't realize that they were overweighted to technology, they were overweighted to a lot of these disruptive mega-cap growth stocks. And then when the shoe dropped we saw portfolios down 30 – 40% last year. But the problem is you only realize it last year when the market was going down. And it's just so critical to manage that risk. ”Risk is only seen in hindsight.   Bob Payne You have to expect the unexpected. You can't have foresight for black swan events and unexpected market sell-offs. Look what happened in 2020 when we had the pandemic collapse – 35% in two days. ”Ignorance isn't bliss. Hope is not a tactic. You should have your portfolio thoroughly evaluated to make sure that you're covering all your asset classes and not just investing in one thing.   Chris Payne Hidden Facts of Finance  While the S&P 500 price declined by 19.78% in 2022, S&P dividends went up by 10.82% in 2022. The increase was higher than inflation and since 1926, dividends have contributed approximately 32% of the total return of the S&P 500. While capital appreciation contributed to 68% all the way through 2021. Canadian Labor shortages are so severe that the government has announced plans to admit nearly 1.4 million immigrants over the next three years. Ken Griffin, Citadel hedge fund cranked out a record 16 billion in profit for clients last year, topping John Paulson's bet against the subprime mortgages in 2007 that was described as the greatest trade ever. The top 20 hedge funds collectively generated 22.4 billion in profit after fees.

The lawsuit could lead to a breakup of Google's advertising business. Matt Kent, competition policy advocate for Public Citizen, released the following statement: - - “Nowhere is Big Tech's monopoly power more apparent than in Google's domination of the digital advertising market. One company cannot be permitted to control every layer of the market that, for better or worse, is the lifeblood of online commerce and our digital lives.
