September 02, 2025Is the AI Bubble Starting to Burst?
Ferenc discusses the parallels between the current tech stock market bubble and the dot-com era, emphasizing the risks of overvaluation and potential corrections. He recounts a listener's 100% return on tech stocks and warns of the dangers of not locking in gains. Ferenc highlights the MIT study showing 95% of companies saw no return on AI investments, and the potential for a severe market correction. He also addresses the Federal Reserve's new inflation target and the implications for interest rates. Ferenc advises on risk management strategies, including annuities and cash value insurance, to protect against market downturns. Issues & Risks

• AI stocks may be in a bubble, similar to the dot-com era.

• According to a MIT study 95% of companies investing in AI have seen no financial benefit.

• Tech stocks account for 46% of S&P 500, higher than dot-com peak.

• Margin debt has surged to an all-time record of over a trillion dollars.

• Heavy truck index, a recession indicator, is going down strongly.

• Nvidia's valuation is now triple the entire energy sector.

• A third of the US economy is in recession or at high risk.

How do you take advantage of future potential upside while protecting your downside?

Annuities offer unlimited upside potential while guaranteeing the principle against loss.

- This is the "Golden Era" of fixed assets. The best rates in 40+ years, insured with guarantees.

- If you own an annuity 2+ years old, I strongly recommend comparing to the newer more profitable products.

- Many of my clients are earning 2-10x increased returns annually than their previous annuity products!

August 26, 2025 Is the AI Bubble Starting to Burst?
A recent MIT study found that 95% of companies have received no benefit from generative Artificial Intelligence (AI). Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, recently warned of an AI bubble. Altman compared the current AI frenzy and the 1990's dotcom bubble when company valuations spike dramatically before crashing. The poster child of the dotcom craze was Pets.com. It was backed by Amazon. Pets.com reached a valuation of $410 million before going bankrupt about a year later. CoreWeave is an AI company backed by Nvidia. After the MIT study, its stock dropped 33%. CoreWeave's peak valuation was 60x times larger than Pets.com at it's peak. This is the reason Sam Altman stated that "Someone is going to lose a phenomenal amount of money" and "When bubbles happen, smart people get overexcited about a kernel of truth". Sam Altman and most tech experts still believe AI will transform the economy in the future. The problem is AI is currently limited by the shortage of GPU's. Sam Altman stated "We have better models, but we can't offer them because we don't have the supply." Sam Altman also stated that "trillions of dollars" will have to be invested in infrastructure to scale AI to advance further. An AI search uses about 10x the computing power of a typical Google search. This information has caused concern for investors. I believe that AI will make a significant positive on the economy, but it may take much longer than many investors expect. With historically high valuations, stock prices may suffer a significant correction before AI can really make a difference. Is this the beginning of the AI bubble starting to burst? We will know soon.

August 12, 2025 The Buffet Indicator Has Hit 2x Standard Deviation for the 3rd Time Since 1950
The Buffett Indicator is a measure of the total market capitalization of publicly traded companies to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Warren Buffett called it "probably the best single measure of where valuations stand at any given moment". The Buffett Indicator has hit 2 times standard deviation for the 3rd time since 1950. Two times standard deviation is double the average value. This means the overall stock market is double the average value. Previously, the Buffett Indicator hit this level in 1969 and 2000. Both times the stock market had significant downside corrections (about 50%). This indicator is worth paying attention to. It demonstrates that the stock market is significantly over-valued. Downside market risk is elevated.

August 05, 2025 The Trade Deals Give Reasons for Optimism Yet the Transition will Likely Create Volatility
Trump has Announced Several Astounding Trade Deals The terms on the recent trade deals are very favorable for the United States.
- Japan: 15% tariff, no tariff for US products, $550 billion joint-venture investment, 90% profit to US.

- South Korea: 15% tariff, no tariff for US products, open market to US, $350 billion investment in US.

- European Union: 15% tariff, no tariff for US products, $750 billion US energy purchase, $650 billion investment in the US.

The investments in the United States were negotiated to "buy down" the tariff rate.

Total investments pledged are about $15 trillion so far. This is almost double the valuation of every Silicon Valley company combined.

The estimated tariff revenue for 2025 is about $700 billion.

These are massive numbers. This will have a huge impact on the US economy in the next few years. The upside potential is huge.

This is one of the largest infrastructure projects in history. Similar to many building projects, there could be challenges and delays. This could cause significant volatility.

July 22, 2025 Show Title: Economists Created a Model of the US Economy using NASA Computers. The Model Crashed Due to the Federal Debt.
Some leading economists and mathematicians built a computer model of the US economy to run various scenarios. Because this was such a big math problem, they used thousands of NASA and Amazon computers. The computers were unable to create a working model because of the rising debt. Us Government Debt is currently over $36 Trillion. The increasing interest on the debt is unsustainable. The computers projected interest on the debt would consume one-third of all tax revenues within a decade. In 20 years, interest on the debt was estimated to be about 80% of tax revenue. With the vast majority of revenues consumed by interest payments, there is not enough money remaining to pay for maintaining infrastructure, military, or other government services. Economic chaos is the likely result. Many argue what would happen; Austerity Measures, Depression, Hyperinflation, ect. The reality is there are no good options. The best option is to avoid economic chaos. The good news is the computers estimated we have about 20 years before economic collapse. This gives us some time to fix the problem. But the longer we wait, the more drastic the solution. The solution is obvious: 1. Increase income. 2. Reduce spending. The Trump administration is aggressively taking steps to increase income (GDP) thru increasing tariff income, using tariff policy to reshore manufacturing, and encouraging investment in America. DOGE found billions in waste and fraud. The Big, Beautiful Bill reduces spending about 2%. Deporting illegal aliens will reduce government welfare spending by billions of dollars. Further government reductions of spending are promised in the future. There has been push-back on spending reductions, mostly from the court system. Many of the district court rulings have been overturned by Appellate Courts or the US Supreme Court. It is not predetermined that the US economy crashes due to excessive debt. But major changes in income and spending have to be made. This will be a generational change to the US economy. Regardless of what happens, there will be a significant transition period. The US government's lack of financial responsibility creates an opportunity. This is the "Golden Era" of fixed assets. The best rates in 40+ years! Insured with guarantees.

July 15, 2025 The Big, Beautiful Bill has Passed. What is in it? How Will it Affect Your Money?
There is a lot of confusing info regarding the Big Beautiful Bill. Forget the noise or the politics. What are the facts on some of the key aspects? No Tax on Tips: up to $25,000 of tip income is tax-free plus your standard deduction of $15,750 for singles, $31,500 for married filing jointly. Social Security Tax: Social Security Administration estimates 88% of seniors will no longer pay taxes on Social Security benefits. - $24,000: average Social Security benefit - $15,750: standard deduction for singles - $2,000: senior deduction - $6,000: new senior bonus (Big Beautiful Bill) - $23,750: Total deductions Taxable Social Security = Zero for average senior Requires citizenship for Medicaid. Health and Human Services estimate 1.5+ million illegal aliens will lose Medicaid benefits despite not being eligible. Currently, 14 states offer government healthcare "regardless of immigration status". Taxpayers pay for this. If you have private health coverage, you pay premiums every month. Many have large deductibles. Most never use it unless absolutely. If a health situation occurs, insurance rarely pays for everything. You could get stuck with huge medical debt. Illegals have received free healthcare. Government is supposed to benefit citizens. Our government is supposed to promote and protect the principles of the Declaration of Independence: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among those are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness. --That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men." The US is the only country in the world that pays for the medical expenses of people who don't belong here, yet expects our citizens to not only pay our own medical bills but also the medical expenses of illegals. I don't think we should have to work hard to pay for benefits for illegals. Us Government Debt is over $37 Trillion. The US government's lack of financial responsibility creates an opportunity.

July 01, 2025 If Houses are not Selling, Why are not Prices Dropping?
Many people are confused. If houses are not selling, why are not prices not falling? There are several reasons. Cause: Housing prices increased an average of 50% from 2019 -2024 in the US. Some areas increased up to 100%. Strong purchasing demand plus limited inventory was the primary reason for prices increasing. Housing affordability is at historical lows due to significantly higher mortgage interest rates and higher purchase prices. This has destroyed buying demand. The average American household can no longer afford to purchase the average home in America. Effect: Some homeowners are still hoping to cash in on the pandemic housing boom. Low mortgages have a "lock-in effect". Many are reluctant to sell their current home and replace with a much higher interest rate. Others are not delusional, they cannot afford to move. Projection: There is hope on the horizon. Housing inventory has increased to pre-COVID levels in many markets, particularly in the South and West. Homebuilders are offering record levels of incentives for new homebuyers. Rental rates have declined for 21 consecutive months. Investors are selling at record levels due to the declining rental income. Job changes or life events are forcing some to move. As time passes, the low interest rate mortgage "lock-in effect" is receding. These are factors that will contribute to declining housing prices. Us Government Debt is over $37 Trillion. The US government's lack of financial responsibility creates an opportunity. This is the "Golden Era" of fixed assets. The best rates in 40+ years! Insured with guarantees.
