You should be prepared for the upcoming stock market correction! At Wilsey Asset Management we are prepared for an upcoming correction in the stock market. That doesn't mean we or you should sell all your positions and go to cash. What it does mean is you should take a close look at your portfolio and see if you're over concentrated in certain positions, especially those that are trading at lofty valuations based on earnings, sales, book value, and cash flow. Many investors think that their stock or stocks will never decline and will just keep increasing forever. This is because they have no history or way of valuing what they hold in their portfolio. They are just happy because it keeps going up, which is obviously unsustainable. It is important for investors to realize that roughly every 19 months or so stocks go through a correction of 10% or more. If you look back in history, the last correction we had was roughly 20 months ago in March 2023 because of the regional banking crisis. What will cause the next correction? It could be concerns on tariffs, it could be due to global unrest, or perhaps it will be something that no one even thought of. The average correction lasts 3 to 4 months, but investors should be prepared for a longer period because an average is simply the average, and it will not be the same for every correction. Mentally, investors should be prepared for corrections, and they should understand it is not a matter of if it will it happen, but when it will happen, and you should not be emotionally disappointed when it does happen. As an investor, you have to realize it does happen, but if you have a strong diversified portfolio with investments that you understand you can weather the storm. If most of your stocks in the portfolio pay dividends that might make you feel better and also the income helps offset a potential decline in your portfolio. Also think like famed investor Warren Buffett that when a correction happens many equities go on sale and that is time to start buying. Don't, however, buy with the intention that you make money in the next month or two. Realize that you're buying a small piece of large company on sale that should do well for you in years to come. Technology has changed and improved oil drilling Thanks to advancements in technology and artificial intelligence, the United States now out produces any other country in the world when it comes to oil. Much of the success has come from the Permian Basin which is 75,000 square miles located in Texas and New Mexico. The area produces almost 50% of US oil. There have been huge efficiency advantages in US oil production which have increased 60% or more a day while using 40% less workers. It used to take 18 months to find oil when drilling in the ocean with seismic imaging. Thanks to advances in technology, it now takes only 18 days. Companies like Chevron also claim they can drill 80% more feet in a day than they did five years ago. When you think of oil drilling, you may think of the new show Landman on Paramount+ and all the dirty oil. While that is still part of it, it is to a much smaller degree because now there are workstations with computers and 20 to 30 workers controlling thousands of pieces of equipment from many miles away. All this new efficiency will benefit the consumer as this will stabilize oil prices to some degree. I believe this will occur because the breakeven for oil in the Permian has dropped over 50% to $40 a barrel and could fall even further. What this means is more and stable profits for the oil companies. The consumer will benefit as well as oil companies cost decline and the price of gasoline at the pump could decline further. Should we start to question the progress on inflation? The November Consumer Price Index (CPI) came in at 2.7%, which was in line with expectations but higher than October's reading of 2.6%. Core CPI, which excludes food and energy came in at 3.3%, which also matched expectations. The concern here is that this was the sixth month in a row that we have been at 3.3 or 3.2%. I have spent a lot of time talking about shelter costs, but those are finally starting to decelerate. The shelter index showed a gain of 4.7% compared to last year and while it still accounted for 40% of the monthly CPI increase, it was the smallest 12-month increase since February 2022. I continue to believe this index will continue to decelerate moving forward. The big question here is should we be concerned with this report? It looks like since it came in right along expectations the market is now with near certainty pricing in a cut at the Fed's meeting next week. I do have to say though it is somewhat concerning we are still a decent ways off from the Fed's target and it appears we have stalled out. We have come a long way from when the CPI was 9% in June 2022, but I believe if the Fed sticks to being “data dependent” they will want to see further progress before cutting rates much further next year. There are still some positives with areas like shelter and auto insurance that should be less burdensome next year, but other areas like energy will have a tough comparison considering the lower prices this year. Overall, I continue to believe the economy is in a good spot, but this report confirms my thoughts that those hoping for a lot of rate cuts next year may be getting too far ahead of themselves. Make your Charitable Gifts Count this Season If you currently receive required minimum distributions (RMDs) from a retirement account and you make charitable donations, you should be using your required distributions to make those charitable gifts. This is called a qualified charitable distribution (QCD) and it is a tax advantaged way to make the donations to charity that you were already doing. After the tax changes in 2017, the number of tax filers who itemize dropped substantially. Charitable donations are typically an itemized deduction, so for the majority of tax filers, charitable gifts do not provide any tax benefit. When taking a required distribution from a retirement account, the distribution is reportable as income. However, any required distribution that is instead sent to a charity does not need to be recognized as income, meaning the giver is guaranteed to receive both the federal and state income tax benefit, even if they don't itemize. Not only that, but since the charitable distribution is not included in income, it results in a lower adjusted gross income which is the income level that determines the cost of Medicare premiums (IRMAA). A normal itemized charitable donation only reduces taxable income, not adjusted gross income, so even people who itemize are still better off making qualified charitable distributions rather than itemized charitable donations. These QCDs are a great way to help a cause you believe in while getting the most tax benefits possible. Companies Discussed: The Cigna Group (CI), The Kroger Co. (KR), The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. (PNC) & The Hershey Company (HSY)

MONEY FM 89.3 - Prime Time with Howie Lim, Bernard Lim & Finance Presenter JP Ong
Today we're going to bring you an inside look into a company said to be a US$62 billion revenue global technology powerhouse. Drumrolls – bingo if you've guessed Lenovo. Founded in 1984, the firm delivers a portfolio of PCs and tablets, monitors, accessories, smart home and collaboration solutions, as well as smart infrastructure data centre solutions around the world. In fact, the firm has since 1995 shipped over half a billion PCs, and make three devices every second. The company ranks the #217 in the Fortune Global 500. It is also listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, where it is included as one of the initial members of the Hang Seng TECH Index. Why are we talking about Lenovo? We're talking about Lenovo because while it is widely known for its consumer products, the firm is very much into B2B services. For one thing, it works with Formula 1 to build technology infrastructure that facilitates the flow of data collected on race tracks. But how far will B2B business be a key driver for growth? Speaking of growth, the firm has a history of acquiring major firms including IBM's PC business back in 2005. More recently, the company had in June last year acquired stakes in two digital units of Hong Kong telecoms firm PCCW to grow its IT services business. But how far will the firm rely on M&A and investments in other firms for future growth? On Under the Radar, The Evening Runway's finance presenter Chua Tian Tian posed these questions to Fan Ho, Executive Director and General Manager, Asia Pacific Solutions and Services Group, Lenovo.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"Now the fundamental motivation is customers don't just want to buy a server, right? They want to buy an outcome. They want something to happen. They want to get business value. So, the SSG [Services & Solutions Group] is Lenovo's pivot to meet our customers where they are, and also to lead our company into the future because as they have more sophisticated requirements, they need a simple way to manage and deploy all that I T across their organizations. When they want that holistic view, providing the services via something which is now SSG gives them that integrated offering. In a single contract, they can focus on using their technology in a smarter way. So that's where the SSG is within the context of Lenovo, and as the technology and delivery officer, I'm responsible for helping think about how new technology can make the experience better. It can make the outcomes better for our customers, as well as running the teams that are often because we have managed services that are delivering for customers 24 by 7. All year round. And so the global team of delivery network and experts is also what I run to help bring those outcomes to the customers today." - Arthur Hu Fresh from the studio, Arthur Hu, SVP & Chief Information Officer at Lenovo, discussed the transformative role of the Solutions and Services Group (SSG) in the era of Generative AI.

Welcome back to our new episode of Season 7! In episode 12 we interview Iain McKechnie, the Director of Strategic Partnerships at the Advanced Services Group within Aston Business School. The discussion centres around the concepts of Servitization and Advanced Services and their connection to the Circular Economy. Iain describes servitization as a transformation process where businesses move away from solely selling products to offering products and services that involve leveraging the knowledge and value within a business to help customers achieve success. He also explains that Advanced Services, on the other hand, focus on outcome-based activities and provide offerings that assist customers in attaining specific outcomes rather than simply selling products. We also talked about the potential of these concepts and discussed how the shift from ownership to usership aligns with Circular Economy principles, leading to benefits such as reduced waste and environmental impact. Iain also highlights the importance of making this knowledge accessible to businesses of all sizes. Tune into this episode to hear more about net-zero goals and alliances aimed at generating knowledge and creating positive impact!

In this episode of Measured Justice, we take a deep dive into victims' rights, an area of the criminal justice system that can sometimes get lost in the shuffle when talking about reform. All states, the District of Columbia, and most U.S. territories have statutory or constitutional provisions that ensure rights and protections for victims of crime. Two key federal laws also address victims' rights. But what does that mean? Today we are joined by Steve Twist, founder of Arizona Voice for Crime Victims and VP and general counsel at Services Group of America, as well as Shannon Johanni, research director for the Academy for Justice, a former prosecutor and victim advocate, and longtime criminal justice professional. Our guests discuss the origins of victims' rights in Arizona and beyond, as well as what hurdles are faced in practice (i.e. when a victim is unwilling or reluctant to participate in prosecution), and what needs to be done to ensure justice when a victim's rights conflict with a defendant's rights.
