This is a mash-up of previously broadcast show audio, from
Tuesday (12/10) and Monday (12/16):
Lance discusses why the NFIB Small Business Index matters (and what
it is saying); the NFIB Confidence Index; expectatinos vs actual
sales; they always fall short of expectations. Why tariffs are a
benefit to small businesses. Outlook is very positive following
Trump re-election (most small business owners are conservatively
oriented.)
Stocks vs Bonds: Earnings growth expectations are too high; what
happens if we don't meet them? It was easy managing money this
year... A review of Bob Farrell's Ten Investment Rules, with a
focus on #9: When all experts agree...
Lance reviews how the Economic Cycle works; if economy continues to
grow at 3%, inflation will remain sticky. Likely no 30% returns in
2025; what are the causes for concern: When everyone agrees on a
positive outlook. A YouTube viewer accuses us of using fake data:
The DATA is what the markets pay attention to. Why YOU'RE to blame
for Bed, Bath & Beyond's failures & other store closings. Why our
childrens' expectations are too expensive. How funky mortgages
increase house prices. Why the minimum wage is really zero.
SEG-1: Why the NFIB Small Business Index Matters
SEG-2: What If We Don't Meet 2025 Expectations?
SEG-3: How the Economic Cycle Works
SEG-4: Our Data is Fake??
