4-3-25 Markets' Tariff Tizzy
President Donald Trump's tariff terrors were revealed Wednesday afternoon, and markets were not enthused. At all. The worse than expected tariff rates are the highest ever. Trade policy is still uncertain, however, as the tariffs are seen as a negotiating tactic, and subject to revision. But this makes it difficult for companies to re-calculate forward looking estimates of earnings. And as the ripple effects of higher expenses are felt in the economy, the risk of recession rises. Lance takes a break to extol his wife's virtues as a basketball savant; Lance and Michael discuss the likely Fed response to higher tariffs and slower economic growth, review a chart of the VIX (more volatility on the way), and emphasize the importance of context and perspective before reacting to the tariffs' effects. Markets are not not red or blue; disallow political influences when making investment decisions. Lance and Michael reveal the silver lining behind the tariffs' effects; narratives will drive markets for the next few weeks until fresher economic data is seen. With the imposition of these tariffs, will Trump be emboldened to talk tax cuts?

4-2-25 Liberation Day - What Does It Mean for You
Liberation Day arrives: Clarity about tariffs should help markets. What will be the impact on economic growth: Will consumers pay higher prices or choose alternatives? There are too many variables to calculate the true economic impact. Market performance this year is all about diversification of assets within portfolios...and what's working this year may not work next year. Avoid complacency! Before the bell, downside risk still remains. RIP, Val Kilmer. Today is "Liberation Day" (from what?) Have markets already priced-in the effects? This is a difficult market to hedge: Do you bet on the Mag-7 or the other 493? The best thing to do today is...nothing. The truth about tariffs: Foreign nations have been charging the US tariffs all along (40% of US Corporate profits come from exports); Trump just wants to equalize the playing field. The unknown variable is Consumer Choice: No one knows what folks will choose to purchase. Lance looks at interest rates, what drives them, and where they're likely going. Tariffs do lead to slower economic growth, but current economic data does not support bear porn. Increased costs = reduced demand. Inflation expectations are parsed by political proclivities.

4-1-25 Failure at the 200-DMA - The Correction Continues
Investors must remember that we're coming off two years of exceptional market returns, and that market corrections must be viewed in their proper context...and expected. Lance discusses the positive and negative impact of Mag-7 stocks on markets due to their weighting; meanwhile, the First Quarter has ended with institutional buyers acting in the final minutes of Monday's trading day, boosting stocks to a less than 1% gain at the close. Markets give signals, but context is needed. Corrections are generally buying opportunities. Lance shares a tale of his wife's candy stash and an example of her "largesse" in sharing same; plus a spoiler alert fo the 1923 TV series. How should investors act after a correction? So far, there are no signals indicating a shift from bullish to bearish trends. Lance and Jonathan discuss what "reducing exposure" in a portfolio really means, and lessons learned from 2008. Commentary on BlackRock's Larry Fink (a.k.a Darth Vader) plans to open private investing to Main Street investors, and why it's a horrible idea. Why is Hooters filing for bankruptcy? We keep abreast of the story.

3-31-25 Sellable Rally or "Buy the Dip?"
There are no discernable signs of economic stress...yet, bu tconsumers are concerned about wages and job security. The question begging to be asked: When is the Fed going to step in (Fed purview: Employment and price stability...AND by extension, consumer confidence). How will markets react to Liberation Day (4/2)? Corporate buy backs will resume 3rd week of April. Markets pulled back on Friday (mimicking four similar pull backs last year.) Make no changes just yet; wait for the next market bounce. Can corporations pass along the expense of increased tariffs? When will the Fed act? Goldman is cutting its earnings expectations for 2025, and valuations are beginning to fall. Lance explains the relevance of Consumer Confidence to PCE, which contributes 70% of GDP. A decline in Consumer Confidence results in a decline in PCE...and earnings. Turmoil in the markets: Don't panic; this, too, shall pass. Tariffs are a tax corporations pay; consumer choice is a big factor: choose to not buy, or purchase for less elsewhere. Market declines have nothing to do with tariffs; tariffs are not a black swan event. Lance shares about the Roberts' blended family, and how he's making his kids independent in the face of a report showing 50% of parents are supporting their adult children in some fashion. SEG-1: How Might Markets React to Liberation Day? SEG-2: When Will the Fed Act?

3-27-25 When Economic Forecasts Diverge
Tariff talk is giving markets a fit, unable to price equities or make reasonable earnings estimates amidst the on-again, off-again tariff threats. The Atlanta Fed’s GDPNow economic forecasting tool predicts an imminent recession, which is fueling investor angst. However, the New York and St. Louis Feds’ Nowcast economic forecasts predict continued economic growth in the first quarter. Confused? Lance Roberts & Michael Lebowitz explore the GDPNow and Nowcast models to understand the recent forecast divergences. How do these affect economic forecasts for 2025? How do they align with recession predictions vs growth outlook and the Federal Reserve interest rate outlook? What should investors do when presented with conflicting economic indicators, and how should you factor-in market uncertainty analysis? Also a look at the impact of Gold on the trade deficit, and a look at the Debt Ceiling and X-Date.

3-26-25 Is the Risk of Recession Rising
Is the risk of recession rising? Consumer sentiment is flagging following last week's market correction. Investors cannot dismiss sentiment and money flows. Everything that drives the market gets down to earnings. The next round of earnings reports will commence in a couple of weeks. It appears the Dollar has bottomed, and markets are setting up for a rally short term. Lance and Danny address misinformation about recession vs stagflation; there does not yet appear to be evidence of recession, but markets are pretty good predictors. Lance addresses the hard realities of losses, and the quickest way to solve them is to accept them and move on. No one is going to swoop in and save you. A discussion on investor psychology, telling the truth about what you really want. SEG-1: Is the Risk of Recession Rising? SEG-2: Recession vs Stagflation?

Markets are wrapping up the final week of March, dealing with the uncertainty of the on-again, off-again tariffs. Manager are prepping for the end of the quarter, and will be rebalancing portfolios that are under-weight in stocks; the corporate buy back window is closed, removing a source of buyers. The markets' sharp 10% decline over three weeks appears to have abated, momentum is about to trigger a MACD buy signal; money flows are turning positive. Doing nothing in times like these is hard, but often the best course to take. Lance examines whether or not you should own Tesla. Markets provide opportunities for fixing or change mistakes; buying when others are selling is hard to do. A look at the rates of decline in U.S. Birth rates, and why younger people are not marrying, or producing families; we're copying Japan. demographics are destiny.

3-21-25 Financial Advice We Love to Hate

3-20-25 Is the Fed Put Back?
Turns out "Forever 21" isn't, with its bankruptcy filing; it's the first day of Spring, with blue bonnets and yellow pollen. Emerging economic data seems to be okay with nothing alarming...yet. Buy back window will close as preparations begin for next earnings season. The FEd reactivates the "Fed Put" with comments at this week's meeting, which creates a bit of moral hazard for investors. The Fed issued its quarterly and long-term projections (which are never correct); Stagflation defined; High inflation defined; the Fed Put defined. Lance opines on the demise of the Dept. of Education; an analysis of the latest Fed meeting: no rate cut for now, with the possibility of two rate cuts in 2025; the first steps in east quantitative tightening; markets are too used to the Fed bailing out risky behavior. Why Ray Dalio (and most headlines) are usually wrong. Lance revisits the Roberts' Beaver Creek vacation with insight on automated McDonald's order kiosks; the future of work and the fallacy of a minimum wage.

3-18-25 Retail Investors Buy the Dip Despite Bearish Sentiment
Markets launch into the second half of March, with the closing of the buy back window in sight; economic numbers include Retail Sales (not bad, but not great): Is a Recession near? (Setting the stage for "lyabetes.") Consumers are slowing down, but egg prices are falling ahead of Easter. The markets' value-rally is approaching resistance at the 200-DMA. Bitcoin is a levered proxy for stocks. Gold is doing well as a risk-off trade. Lance shares the latest about his beloved dog, Gunner.

3-17-25 Recession Fears Emerge
Markets last week ripped through one of the fastest 10% corrections ever; that's what happens when markets are over bought. Media headlines whip investors into a frenzy with Recession talk, ignoring the fact that in order for a moving average to remain the average, markets must ebb and flow, above and below, in order to provide the average. The Government is shedding non-essential employees (which begs the question of why they were hired in the first place; Congress passess another Continuing Resolution, which only adds fuel to the government spending fire. Lance recounts his dealings with the DST change and an awkward launch of his Spring Break vacation. A discussion about Recession and what really drives markets: Earnings. The "hard" data and "soft" data in the Economic Composite Index; slow growth vs recessionary growth. Why Brent uses RIA haircare and groOming products (and it shows). Trump tariffs: Is he wrong?

A discussion on reciprocal tariffs; how markets work; where earnings growth comes fromn. Markets are now re-pricing the impact of tariffs (Chart of stock valuations heat map). Lance and Danny discuss the ebb and flow of the U.S. Dollar, and buzzword headlin-generators: The latest is Stagflation. Most do not know the three elements required: Low growth, high inflation, and high unemployment. The Tru-flation index has collapsed, and markets are re-pricing the effects of tariffs.

3-3-25 Will Markets March Ahead?
Will Donald Trump's Crypto-reserve translate into a boon for tech stocks and cryptocurrencies? The Atlanta Fed GDP shows negative growth: This does not mean recessionary. Front loading of purchases ahead of tariff imposition will result in pullback from anticipated purchasing later in the year, affecting profits. March is a seasonally strong month. A look at the market rally and rotation trades; the economy is not bad, but pullbacks are coming from DOGE cuts in government spending and job losses, and the impact of fewer immigrants for hiring. (Where are most jobs now being created?) The Chicago Fed National Activity Index is in contraction. Removing government bloat is not without consequence. Don't under-estimate the impact of government policy and hiring on the economy. Lance next discusses the elevated risk appetite of Gen-X investors, who have never known anything but an ever-climbing market climate; the impact of financial crisis & dealin with risk. Lance reviews his essay, "CAPE-5: A Different Measure of Valuation." Valuations reflect sentiment; is "easy-street" for investors coming to an end? SEG-1: Trump's Crypto Reserve: Rally in Tech?

2-27-25 Nvidia Beats - What Now
Earnings season is all but done after last night's Q4 Report from Nvidia, which beat estimates, but did not inspire markets. The next dynamic to affect markets will be the closing of the buy back window ahead of Q2 Earnings reporting season. Investor behavior and market psychology is as bearish as ever. We're now seeing risk-off rotation; Lance revisits the effective use of stop-loss settings, and the importance of allowing market activity to mature. Nvidia underwhelms despite beating estimates; this is why fundamentals matter. Could Nvidia become the next "cash cow," a la Apple? RIP, Gene Hackman. Lance and Michael discuss creating liquidity out of debt, and the Fed's Reverse Repo tool. Recent Fed minutes hint at tweaking liquidity ahead of debt ceiling adjustments. Investor psychology and levels of bearishness not unlike pre-crash mentality. This may be the year with high volatility and markets go nowhere. How to be more rational? Adjust views of markets in varying time-spans (weekly, monthly) vs hourly and daily. Double-down or get out? Avoid anchoring on purchase price.

2-28-25 Instant Results Coming from Social Secuity Fairness Act
Rich & Matt share thoughts about the late Gene Hackman, followed by market commentary and Bitcoin's behavior: It's NOT a diversifier, but quite speculative. Observations about market performance during the first year of a new presidency. Rich shares his childhood wardrobe prompts (Gene Hackman), and talks PCE preview and the price of eggs. A look at the Social Security Fairness Act provisions that appear to provide back pay to some retirees, effective immediately. Some are in for a windfall as a result of the elimination of the Windfall Elimination Provision in the Social Security Fairness act. Rich and Matt discuss Social Security Reform Updates, Windfall Elimination Provision is Explained, along with Government Pension Offset Changes, and how some retiree benefits could increase almost immediately. A few choice words about the SSA and IRS computer systems. Health is connected to wealth; the Taste of Texas acquires an amazing artifact; Lance publishes his tome on CAPE-5 Valuation. Richard addresses the creation of a personal rate of return you need to know; Bitcoin is not going to bail out your weakened portfolio. Be realistic in your forward-looking estimates.

2-26-25 How to Avoid an Inheritance Nightmare
It's Nvidia Day today; no matter what happens on Wall Street, tomorrow's activity will hinge on tonight's report. PCE revealed on Friday: This is the one the Fed watches, and it's expected to be weaker. Interestingly, Bonds have outperformed stocks, YTD, so far. Lance discovers RentTheChicken.com; hilarity ensues. Markets take out the 100-DMA, but rally forward; a discussion on stop-losses and knee-jerk reactions. Lance and Jonathan discuss their wives' proclivities based on the latest TikTok video: Chickens, fainting goats, and ducks. The Nvidia story: Is AI going to be "the next Internet?" Nvidia's forward guidance tonight will be all that matters; the consequences of improper estate planning; dealing with mortality. The interpretation of Consumer Confidence Surveys: what's the database? They're more a sample of psychology than economics; the economy IS slowing, but it's not recessionary, but more of a return to pre-pandemic "normal." What is the impact of Federal employee firings? Drill-down into the data; What is the source? Sentiment surveys and expectations are skewed by political preferences. The concern about tariffs: Can companies pass along the increased costs to consumers?

2-25-25 Estimates By Analysts Have Gone Parabolic
The Chicago Fed's National Activity Index falls to -4.3: Looks like the data is catching up with reality. Excess Savings Metric: Most are in no better financial shape than before the pandemic; implications to companies' earnings that the bottom 90% are beginning to struggle. Markets challenged the 50-DMA and failed on Monday; likely to be in a corrective phase for a while. "If I were President, the first thing I would do..." Lance and Jonathan solve all problems: Cleaning up D.C. first, and the changes are not going to be without pain. Analysts are extremely optimistic in their earnings estimates for 2026; investors should be careful about over-paying for stocks priced based on these estimates. What Valuation really means: Sentiment. The Schiller CAPE Ratio vs Lance's 5-yar CAPE Ratio (coming attraction!) Investing like Tiger-21 investors: High Net-worth investors' portfolio allocations; key to success is in assets that are not correlated to smooth out volatility. What is true diversification. Why NOT put assets (Gold, Real Estate) into an IRA? Lance and Jonathan provide sound advice here. Is the DOGE Dividend a good idea? Better ways to maximize fat-cutting savings without igniting more inflation.

2-24-25 New Coronavirus Discovery Shakes Markets
Lance has come up with a new business model for a Help Desk subscription service. It works on anything. The problem with margin debt; there's no appetite for IPO's. What Wall st. is doing instead. market sell off on Friday more the result of volatility around options expiration than Wuhan Lab news of the second coming of Covid. Don't expect any reflex rally today to hold. Economic indicators continue to hint at weaknesses; be aware of the content feeding sentiment surveys. There is a Republican and Democrat dynamic to the data and its interpretation. Two expectations feed into term Premium. Coming this week: The second revision to Q4 GDP (as opposed to China's one-and-done reporting. Or else.) PCE inflation report preview. Will markets ever never focus on Data next-day-ism? (no.) Lance recounts his first exposure to investing, 'Learning from Mr. Lehman." Reading the WSJ, the news was days-old, and average stock holding period was 7-years; contrast with velocity of information today, and average stock holding period not is 4-months. Markets have become like casinos (and the house always wins). What does all of this have to do with margin debt? Short-termism & Market casinos: knowing the rules. Margin debt vs stock prices. The velocity of increase in margin debt is alarming: It provides buying power on the way up, but also adds fuel for selling power on the way down. Margin calls create mandatory selling.

2-20-25 Why Bitcoin Will Not Replace The Dollar
he latest Fed Meeting Minutes are out with a bit of insight; Trump's economic policies appear to be deflationary, as consumer strength is weakening; WalMart and Costco are tempering their forward guidance in anticipation. Palantir CEO is selling LOTS of shares as the Defense Dept. is being pushed by DOGE to cut spending. Market pullbacks may offer investors' opportunity; markets continue to do well, but there's a dichotomy between weighted indexes and those with less concentration of Mag-7 stocks. Money flows are still positive, with a surge into the survivors of the SPAC craze phase: More speculative mood. And then there's the "Alien ETF..." Can the Fed stop QT while debt ceiling is under consideration; the the Fed isn't saying about driving liquidity by pausing QT. Cane's vs KFC (we're now identifying generational preferences for fried chicken??) Is the Fed handcuffing itself with the stickiness of inflation vs rising yields? The Fed is setting its own trap with no two-way street on interest rates. Why the Fed needs to keep its mouth shut! The US dollar is the only lawful money in the United States. While some think Bitcoin can supplant the dollar, they fail to acknowledge that it has significant flaws, which we believe are critical to understanding why Bitcoin should not be lawful money. Lance and Michael discuss Bitcoin vs US Dollar, Cryptocurrency and Fiat Currency, and the concept of Bitcoin as Legal Tender, plus the future of Bitcoin and USD, and Digital Currency vs Traditional Money. Why Bitcoin will not replace the Dollar; the supply of money is important; the issue of value volatility: Bitcoin pricing is not dependable. To have a dynamic economy, a dynamic currency is required; Dollars still make the world go round. Currency must correlate with markets.

2-19-25 What You Should Do With A Severance Package
The New York Fed Reports an improving economy, and Nvidia cues up its next quarterly report after recovering from the DeepSeek dip. The Fed is on hold, and positive money flows abound on Wall Street. There are no real indicators we're on the cusp of destruction...for now. 2026 EPS estimates are insanely optimistic. Markets pull out another all-time high on Tuesday afternoon. What is the Economy? As thousands of government workers are being invited to leave, and Chevron offers severance packages to a swath of its employees, what's the best strategy if you're offered an opportunity to retire? Take a lump-sum or annuitize the dollars? Lance Roberts and Danny Ratliff offer helpful suggestions if you're facing "permanent furlough" with severance package advice and suggestions on how to invest severance pay; how to manage a severance package and severance pay tax strategies; and, what to do after job layoff. The DOGE deep dive into Social Security is getting interesting. Should SS benefits be taxed or not? How to best reform SS? Lance's pre-ski vacation diet and more discussion on the proper way to reform and sustain Social Security. Reports on 401k plan participation are deceiving.

2-18-25 Retail Exuberance Sets Up Market For Correction
It is the 90th anniversary of the establishment of Social Security; amazingly, some recipients over the age of 150 are apparently still receiving benefits (!). Could there be a clue here on how to help shore up the fund? Just sayin... Nvidia earnings are on the way; Meta has and a 20-day winning streak, not one down day for the pat6 20-trading days. Its performance as one of the Mag-7 stocks is what has helped, in part, keep markets elevated. The market defies more negative news because retail investors continue to step in and “buy the dip.” In our recent Bull Bear reports, we discussed the push by retail investors, but looking at retail sentiment is quite remarkable. Since the pandemic, retail investors have never been this bullish on the stock market. Such is amazing, given that their mailboxes are not being stuffed with government stimulus checks.” Retail investors are expected to become more bullish about increasing equity exposure when markets rise. However, the more extended markets become, the more confident investors are about increasing speculative risk. In other words, “success breeds confidence.” Lance reviews the dynamic between margin debt and free cash (w/charts); Lance and Jonathan examine the in's and out's of private equity fund investing; a discussion of the 60/40 portfolio rule viability; FOMO vs the fear of loss.

Improving relative strength is also providing lift for the market. Technically, everything is fine despite disappointing news from AMD, Google, and others. Money flows continue to creep upward with continued buying. Lance and Michael spend the remaining segments of the show discussing money, currencies, and concepts of money supply management: All money is lent into existence. The Federal Reserve or the government does not print money. Those two facts are vital to understanding our lead question: where does money come from? Furthermore, knowing who does and doesn’t print money and the incentives and disincentives that change the money supply are critical to inflation forecasting. On this morning's episode, Lance and Michael share how money is created, monetary policy and Federal Reserve money supply are explained, along with the Banking system and money creation. Understanding Fiat Currency; ; the theory of BitCoin value; the hyper-inflation of the Weimar Republic; currency vs money. Understanding the "plumbing" of money, and how deficit spending has helped buoy the economy. What is the most readily-accepted medium of exchange = The Dollar (not gold). How high-income earners invest into assets.

2-4-25 Trade War Is Over
Well that was fast. Over the weekend, President Trump announced tariffs of 25% on both Canada and Mexico, as well as a 10% tariff on China. The announcement of tariffs set the market on its heels Monday morning as media writers quickly pushed narratives about the potential impacts. However, as suggested on the “Real Investment Show” before the market opened on Monday, the best thing to do would be “nothing.” We stated the market’s opening would likely be the worst level of the day, so any “panic selling” of positions early in the morning would likely be a mistake. Early in the day, both Canada and Mexico blinked, and the trade war the media predicted would cause a massive inflation surge was over before it started. The market immediately rebounded from the early morning lows, leaving “panic sellers” in the dust. Such is why it is crucial to turn off the media when managing your portfolio to reduce emotional mistakes. Meanwhile, markets are flirting with resistance, and need some muster to rally above the 50-DMA. Lance and Jonathan discuss how Trade Wars can generate buying opportunities; a look at the Palantir story; look for sell offs as opportunities to buy. Lance reviews past Trade War history of the S&P (charts); volatility will result as trade wars are waged. Potential effects of a China trade war. Managing portfolios with concentrated stock holdings; the value of diversification. Commentary on NFIB and CEO Confidence surveys: Sentiment vs data.

2-3-25 Tariff Trouble
It's the first week of February; Quarterly Reports Preview: About 80% of S&P will have reported by week's end, and the Buy Back Window more fully opens next week, providing additional market support. President Trump's 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico may be short-lived (indeed, following this morning's show, Mexico blinked, promising to send troops to the border, and Trump's tariff was suspended for 30-days). The difference between the 2017 Tariffs and now: No tax cuts in place this time around. Watch for more market volatility in the wake of tariff talks. Living w Mrs. Roberts & the neighborhood HOA. Lance reviews the ins, outs, and possibilities of the Trump Tariffs: What is the ultimate goal? The Texas Economy vs Canada's. Will companies be able to pass along increased tariff costs to customers? Consumer choices drive the economy. Expectations for corporate earnings growth are already excessively high; what happens when tariffs take a bite? Goldman sees tariffs short-lived; JP Morgan expects more lasting, negative effects. Two outcomes possible: Price rise and consumers stop buying, or companies eat the difference. Chances for recession are back on the table. Our advice for today: Step away, and allow markets to work it through. Is this the start of a new catalyst? SEG-1: Watch for More Volatility from Tariffs SEG-2: Tariff Talk: What is the Goal?

1-30-25 The Fed Holds Firm
It's the end of the month, and the determining day for the January Barometer is tomorrow. Markets knee-jerked all over the board following yesterday's Fed announcements to hold firm at current rates. Economic news was not encouraging, with export up, imports down, suggesting the economy is weaker than thought; labor and demand dynamics. There is a lot of speculative money pouring into markets; nobody is buying stocks anymore. It's all in options, which will end badly for many because it's very speculative. Lance recounts the latest reports from Magnificent-7 member companies; Michael explores data center dynamics, the DeepSeek effect of cheaper processing, and Tesla's big plans. An admonition to be careful about following headlines; the one thing China is good at: Stealing the work of others'. Lance's favorite day is Thursday; economic data is not good; what the Fed thinks now and commentary on Labor; What the Atlanta Fed said; trying to control inflation from the Executive Branch. How did DeepSeek do it? Michael preaches on the fallacy of Meme Coins, and why they're destroyers of wealth; the role of influencers.

1-29-25 Watching the Mega-cap Earnings Parade
Today is Mega-cap earnings Day, and there's also a lot of economic data to be revealed. Plus, this afternoon will see the latest announcement from the Federal Reserve. Expectations are for the Fed to hold firm on rates this time. Interestingly, despite Monday's selloff, money flows have continued to come into the markets. In fact, on Tuesday (1/28) the QQQ had its biggest inflow since 2021. Monday's market action was NOT the watershed event the bears were trying to make it out to be. Markets are not overbought yet; we're still on a solid buy signal. That's not to say a pullback can't happen; remember the lesson from December...and why it's important to pay attention to money flows, either direction. Educational scores in America and the AI race; IBM, Meta, Microsoft, & Tesla to report this afternoon: What will be IBM's excuse for missing estimates? By next Friday, 80% of S&P companies will have reported, and their earnings will drive volatility over the next several days.

1-28-5 The DeepSeek Knee Jerk
The race is on for dominance in the artificial intelligence arena with China's release of DeepSeek. Markets initially nose-dived Monday, but ended up slightly higher (with the exception of Nvidia). This volatility underlines the necessity for portfolio diversification. The pullback in an oversold market was not unexpected. The news resulted in the biggest single-day market cap loss for Nvidia, due in part to its massive market cap. Lance discusses what may be the positive results of thie "Sputnik moment" for the US. The markets' response also underscores the importance of Bonds in overall portfolio management. Lance & Jonathan discuss the fallacy of high-watermark comparisons in portfolios, and how to properly review portfolio performance. A discussion on how stocks are actually traded, on and off the exchanges, and the proper use of stop-loss settings in a portfolio.

1-27-25 DeepSeek Or Deep Sink?
The unfolding of China's DeepSeek technology, and history's shortest trade war (with Colombia) highlighted the weekend. What are the investing opportunities from DeepSeek? Too soon to tell; allow markets to sort it out today, and make no rash moves. What DeepSeek means to markets; what's the difference from AI? Lance compares the 1960's space race to the AI technology competition today: Is this America's "Sputnik Moment?" Lance provides a concise primer on all things DeepSeek. Faster, cheaper chips upset the technology race: We knew this day would come (just didn't think it would be over the weekend!)
