WEALTHSTEADING Podcast investing retirement money stock market & wealth

Episode 62  The Federal Reserve didn’t address any of the global issues but they did promise to be patient with raising interest rates and also mentioned that inflation could drop to as low as 1%.

The market likes cheap money and low energy costs so we’re back near all-time record highs on the S&P500.  This was a very shallow and extremely short lived pullback, perhaps the market is changing personality and we’ll see more volatility and switchbacks in early 2015.

Episode 61:  In this episode we discuss the actual cost of pumping oil- it’s a lot lower than you think.  We also discuss the concept of taking things to the limit, to weed out emotional responses.  In particular we look at North Dakota’s history of shale oil fracking & horizontal drilling.

The final take away for today is to be aware of the consequences of imbalance- Oil has plunged some 45%, not because the cost structure has changed, but because there is an imbalance between supply & demand.

Episode 60:  McDonalds vs Burger King…several months ago you’ll remember I was impressed with the turnaround at Burger King due in large part to their new young CEO.

The disparity continues between two otherwise common businesses-   Burger King rounds out the year UP around 70% and McDonald’s is DOWN about 5%.

In this episode we discuss the differences of the two companies and end on a positive note for McDonalds mostly because of this little talked about fact- CEO Don Thompson is an electrical engineer and as a young man cut his teeth working in aerospace & ROBOTICs…that’s the tell for me.  In coming years, automation will be the driver for profits, as fast food restaurants struggle to replace high wage low skilled workers.  Don’t write McDonalds off just yet, having a NERD robotics engineer at the helm may just save their sinking ship.

Episode 58:  Today the S&P500 broke below its 50 day moving average, the NASDAQ is resting on its.

The 50 day line is a key indicator, watch to see if it ultimately acts as support for the indexes.  If not the breach could result in a fall to the 200 dma (and below).  That would take the S&P500 to about 1945, which in my humble opinion is likely since that’s less than a 2% drop.  Today the S&P500 was down 0.63% with intraday fluctuation of 1.8%.

On Wednesday the Federal Reserve will hold a press conference- they’ll try to placate the markets.  Watch to see the reaction of Wall Street.  The Fed may be losing their grasp as the manipulator of last resort.

The real story is reflected in bond yields.  The 10 year Treasury yield continues to drop, now at around 2.12%.  That’s a sure sign of concern among major institutional investors.  If they’re concerned, you should be too.

Episode 57:  The perfect stock trading system is the one that works best for you.  Don’t believe the scammer’s claims that their back tested algorithm is fail-safe.  The same goes for late night TV infomercials that tout real estate flipping or get rich options trading schemes.

In stock trading, as well as life…you need to develop your own methods that reflect and resonate with your inner abilities and passions.  What works for others won’t necessarily work for you.

Your creator made you unique and different from all other creatures- take advantage of that and make something of it.

Episode 55:  The bottom line- this week US Treasuries fell more than 8.5%, while at the same time consumer spending is accelerating.  The Big Money is fearful of energy sector default (corporate & government).  The panic has spilled over to non-energy related stocks.  I’ve taken profits and will wait for the next opportunity.

Episode 53:  Today the market got spooked by weakness in global markets BUT recovered well.  The S&P500 was nearly flat and the NASDAQ up 0.54%.

Volatility is a time to reflect.  Today we discuss the markets and how I’ve taken some profits and reallocated my portfolios.

This may surprise some of you…I’ve also initiated a position outside the USA.
