WEALTHSTEADING Podcast investing retirement money stock market & wealth

Episode 249:  In this episode we’ll discuss the IMPORTANCE of the Federal Reserve’s plan to unwind their $4.5 trillion balance sheet.  An old adage on Wall Street is, “don’t fight the Fed.”   Truer words were never spoken.  Fed policy is one of the most critical factors that affects the economy and the stock market.  Unwinding the Fed’s unprecedented balance sheet should be of interest to any serious investor. In spite of much pundit pessimism, the markets are doing extremely well.  For now I’m holding all my positions.  Check out this recent video where I discuss the Mexican ETF (EWW) and the likely effects of NAFTA:  https://youtu.be/T8OHDO_MVvQ And if you missed it, here’s an earlier video where I discuss my portfolio and outlook for the second half of 2017:  https://youtu.be/tu_xFHZ_imU -------------------------------------------------------------- The Robots are Coming: A Human's Survival Guide to Profiting in the Age of Automation  available at AMAZON and all fine bookstores. -------------------------------------------------------------- 10 Wealth Building Principles:  http://www.wealthsteading.com/category/wealth-building-principle/ Full archives are available at:  http://www.wealthsteading.com ------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe to the Wealthsteading Podcast: via iTunes:  https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/wealthsteading-podcast/id896417058 Hosted by John Pugliano.

Episode 246:  After decades of being an oil consumer, the US has become an oil exporter.  The US is now the 11th top supplier to China, just behind the United Arab Emirates. US oil production and exports have been a game changer, upsetting the PETRODOLLAR trade that has been dominated by OPEC for the past 40 years.  This is one of the primary reasons for the strength of the US Dollar in the wake of unprecedented Federal Reserve money printing (QE) and global deflation.  [Discussed in my book: The Robots are Coming ] To understand the global economic impact of US oil production & the PETRODOLLAR see the previous episode for April 18 2016:  https://www.wealthsteading.com/181 -------------------------------------------------------------- The Robots are Coming: A Human's Survival Guide to Profiting in the Age of Automation  available at AMAZON and all fine bookstores. -------------------------------------------------------------- 10 Wealth Building Principles:  http://www.wealthsteading.com/category/wealth-building-principle/ Full archives are available at:  http://www.wealthsteading.com ------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe to the Wealthsteading Podcast: via iTunes:  https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/wealthsteading-podcast/id896417058 Hosted by John Pugliano.

Episode 245:  Are you concerned about how all the political drama will impact the stock market?  Don’t be.  Just like the nuclear war panic from exactly 10 days ago (that everyone has conveniently forgotten), this too shall pass. I will view any dip in the stock market as a buying opportunity. Ignore the static and noise…nothing has changed.  Three main factors underlie the success or failure of this stock market- China, Interest Rates and Commodities…just like it’s been for the past three years. -------------------------------------------------------------- The Robots are Coming: A Human's Survival Guide to Profiting in the Age of Automation  available at AMAZON and all fine bookstores. -------------------------------------------------------------- 10 Wealth Building Principles:  https://www.wealthsteading.com/category/wealth-building-principle/ Full archives are available at:  https://www.wealthsteading.com ------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe to the Wealthsteading Podcast: via iTunes:  https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/wealthsteading-podcast/id896417058 Hosted by John Pugliano.

Episode 244:  The media is in a frenzy over threats from President Trump to nuke North Korea.  Are we headed into a thermonuclear Armageddon? I doubt it. The South Korean stock index KOSPI is down less than 4% from a recent high.  Hardly what I’d call panic in the streets. -------------------------------------------------------------- The Robots are Coming: A Human's Survival Guide to Profiting in the Age of Automation  available at AMAZON and all fine bookstores. -------------------------------------------------------------- 10 Wealth Building Principles:  https://www.wealthsteading.com/category/wealth-building-principle/ Full archives are available at:  https://www.wealthsteading.com ------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe to the Wealthsteading Podcast: via iTunes:  https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/wealthsteading-podcast/id896417058 Hosted by John Pugliano.

Episode 243:  In this episode I review the portion of my portfolio that’s focused on contrarian value positions…many of which are “Dogs of the DOW”. Specifically I use Walmart as a historical reference as to why buying out-of-favor blue chip stocks is often a good strategy.

Episode 241:  Will interest rates regress to their mean?  Yes, eventually when the Federal Reserve and other central banks end their intervention. BUT…the important question is:  What mean? The mean of the past 30 years?  Or the mean of the previous 90 year bond cycle, where with few exceptions (notably World War I) from 1875-1965 the 10 year Treasury’s yield was in the range of 2-4%. -------------------------------------------------------------- The Robots are Coming: A Human's Survival Guide to Profiting in the Age of Automation  available at AMAZON and all fine bookstores. -------------------------------------------------------------- 10 Wealth Building Principles:  https://www.wealthsteading.com/category/wealth-building-principle/ Full archives are available at:  https://www.wealthsteading.com ------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe to the Wealthsteading Podcast: via iTunes:  https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/wealthsteading-podcast/id896417058 Hosted by John Pugliano.
