00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:02.000
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to another episode of the Chicks on the Right

2
00:00:02.040 --> 00:00:04.919
<v Speaker 1>podcast where we talk with our friend and sponsor of

3
00:00:04.960 --> 00:00:08.720
<v Speaker 1>the show, Zach Abraham from Bulwart Capital Management. And as

4
00:00:08.960 --> 00:00:14.039
<v Speaker 1>of the recording of this program, we saw some crazy

5
00:00:14.080 --> 00:00:18.120
<v Speaker 1>swings in the stock market as a result of China's

6
00:00:18.199 --> 00:00:23.399
<v Speaker 1>AI which is apparently very competitive and cheaper than the

7
00:00:23.519 --> 00:00:27.679
<v Speaker 1>United States open AI, and that sent stocks like scrambling

8
00:00:27.960 --> 00:00:30.600
<v Speaker 1>and then everything's sort of leveled out, which is why

9
00:00:30.640 --> 00:00:34.640
<v Speaker 1>we wanted to talk to you today, Zach, about what, like,

10
00:00:34.759 --> 00:00:38.240
<v Speaker 1>what should the reaction of a regular person be when

11
00:00:38.240 --> 00:00:41.359
<v Speaker 1>it comes to their portfolio and they see these kinds

12
00:00:41.359 --> 00:00:44.840
<v Speaker 1>of swings, Should they be fearful of tech stocks or not?

13
00:00:46.039 --> 00:00:48.719
<v Speaker 2>Yes and no. So the issue with the issue with

14
00:00:48.759 --> 00:00:52.359
<v Speaker 2>tech stocks we've been talking about so today today is

15
00:00:52.359 --> 00:00:55.039
<v Speaker 2>a very good example of the dangers of owning some

16
00:00:55.079 --> 00:00:58.719
<v Speaker 2>stocks that are extraordinarily expensive. Okay, so if you look

17
00:00:58.759 --> 00:01:01.679
<v Speaker 2>at Nvidia, like a stock like in Vidio, it's getting

18
00:01:01.759 --> 00:01:04.959
<v Speaker 2>hit one of the hardest today, great company, but it

19
00:01:05.000 --> 00:01:09.159
<v Speaker 2>has so much optimism built into the price of that

20
00:01:09.239 --> 00:01:12.840
<v Speaker 2>stock that even the smallest little adjustment to those forward

21
00:01:12.879 --> 00:01:18.120
<v Speaker 2>looking earnings projections they change massively and the stock has

22
00:01:18.200 --> 00:01:24.000
<v Speaker 2>to sell off, So generally speaking, I don't think there's

23
00:01:24.359 --> 00:01:27.799
<v Speaker 2>a big thing. Here's the problem, though, the problem is

24
00:01:28.439 --> 00:01:31.879
<v Speaker 2>because of the way people have been invested, they are

25
00:01:31.879 --> 00:01:34.719
<v Speaker 2>more exposed to these kinds of stocks than they have

26
00:01:34.799 --> 00:01:38.000
<v Speaker 2>ever been exposed to any kind of stock. So let's

27
00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:40.280
<v Speaker 2>just say they have an SMP five hundred ETF for

28
00:01:40.400 --> 00:01:44.599
<v Speaker 2>mutual fund. Okay, probably somewhere in theybor to forty to

29
00:01:44.640 --> 00:01:48.120
<v Speaker 2>fifty percent of their holdings are companies like in Vidia

30
00:01:48.680 --> 00:01:53.640
<v Speaker 2>and Marvel and you know, these tech based companies. And

31
00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:56.560
<v Speaker 2>then what's scary in general about this market? You know,

32
00:01:56.599 --> 00:01:59.040
<v Speaker 2>I look at a company like Apple, Apple's up over

33
00:01:59.159 --> 00:02:03.239
<v Speaker 2>four percent. That's just as stupid to me as what

34
00:02:03.319 --> 00:02:05.920
<v Speaker 2>you see going on the others. Meaning, this is what

35
00:02:06.120 --> 00:02:09.280
<v Speaker 2>scares me about this market. This market, regardless of what's

36
00:02:09.280 --> 00:02:11.840
<v Speaker 2>going on in the underlying economy, this market is just

37
00:02:11.919 --> 00:02:15.560
<v Speaker 2>completely divorced from anything financial. Right, So, like, if you

38
00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:18.840
<v Speaker 2>look at Apple today, it's up four percent, that's about

39
00:02:18.840 --> 00:02:21.759
<v Speaker 2>one hundred and fifty or one hundred and sixty billion

40
00:02:21.879 --> 00:02:26.479
<v Speaker 2>dollar increase of their market cap because AI chips that

41
00:02:26.719 --> 00:02:30.240
<v Speaker 2>they don't sell are going to go for less what

42
00:02:31.439 --> 00:02:33.599
<v Speaker 2>it and it's just one day, right, you can't take

43
00:02:33.639 --> 00:02:37.560
<v Speaker 2>one day too seriously exactly. But these are examples of

44
00:02:37.639 --> 00:02:41.199
<v Speaker 2>how ridiculous this entire market really is. And one of

45
00:02:41.199 --> 00:02:43.919
<v Speaker 2>the things that we've been telling people is, look, whether

46
00:02:44.039 --> 00:02:46.280
<v Speaker 2>you're going to get hit right now or whether it's

47
00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:48.400
<v Speaker 2>coming later. The one thing I can tell you is

48
00:02:48.439 --> 00:02:52.199
<v Speaker 2>you are the most loaded up in the most expensive

49
00:02:52.639 --> 00:02:57.960
<v Speaker 2>and most overrepresented sector in history. So should you have

50
00:02:58.080 --> 00:03:00.879
<v Speaker 2>exposure to it? Yes? Should you have as much as

51
00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:05.000
<v Speaker 2>you probably do? No, not even close. And and it

52
00:03:05.039 --> 00:03:07.879
<v Speaker 2>even gets exacerbated because not only people will own these

53
00:03:07.960 --> 00:03:10.919
<v Speaker 2>ETFs and mutual funds that are way over represented by

54
00:03:10.960 --> 00:03:13.120
<v Speaker 2>this kind of stuff. On top of it, a lot

55
00:03:13.120 --> 00:03:15.680
<v Speaker 2>of them have bought these stocks along the way. So

56
00:03:15.759 --> 00:03:18.879
<v Speaker 2>we'll take in, you know, we'll take in portfolios all

57
00:03:18.919 --> 00:03:24.360
<v Speaker 2>the time that are sixty seventy percent in those companies, right,

58
00:03:24.759 --> 00:03:28.439
<v Speaker 2>and it's just it's just way too much. Now on

59
00:03:28.479 --> 00:03:30.759
<v Speaker 2>the flip side, you're going to see a bunch of

60
00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:34.759
<v Speaker 2>things get hit today again, like some of the uranium

61
00:03:34.800 --> 00:03:37.479
<v Speaker 2>companies that we own have sold off hard. How does

62
00:03:37.520 --> 00:03:41.879
<v Speaker 2>that really correlate to AI chips? It doesn't. But again,

63
00:03:42.039 --> 00:03:45.400
<v Speaker 2>in a stupid market that is working so and I

64
00:03:45.599 --> 00:03:47.039
<v Speaker 2>you know, I don't know what else to call it.

65
00:03:47.039 --> 00:03:49.840
<v Speaker 2>It's just detached from reality. We said, look, a lot

66
00:03:49.879 --> 00:03:52.599
<v Speaker 2>of this stuff's gonna have to sell off. When it does,

67
00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:55.719
<v Speaker 2>a lot of the really good, cheap, really solid, fundamental

68
00:03:55.759 --> 00:03:59.439
<v Speaker 2>stuff will sell off too. Why because why not? Right?

69
00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:04.199
<v Speaker 2>So we actually see this over the short term, if

70
00:04:04.240 --> 00:04:06.400
<v Speaker 2>you own a lot of that stuff, I think that

71
00:04:06.800 --> 00:04:09.520
<v Speaker 2>you know who knows. I mean these stocks are still

72
00:04:09.560 --> 00:04:12.400
<v Speaker 2>so expensive that you know, you look at companyike in video,

73
00:04:12.639 --> 00:04:16.839
<v Speaker 2>in Vidia could drop fifty percent and still be historically expensive, right,

74
00:04:17.160 --> 00:04:20.560
<v Speaker 2>I mean it's down sixteen percent today, So yeah, I

75
00:04:20.600 --> 00:04:23.120
<v Speaker 2>think people need to be careful. But this just gets

76
00:04:23.160 --> 00:04:25.560
<v Speaker 2>to the risks that we're seeing out there, which we

77
00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:28.920
<v Speaker 2>see so many great opportunities. But the problem is is

78
00:04:28.959 --> 00:04:32.120
<v Speaker 2>tech is dominated for so long that it has become

79
00:04:32.600 --> 00:04:36.120
<v Speaker 2>the vast majority of everybody's portfolio. Should you have exposure

80
00:04:36.160 --> 00:04:38.800
<v Speaker 2>to it? Yes, But diversity is a good thing. Right now?

81
00:04:38.839 --> 00:04:41.399
<v Speaker 1>What's the percentage then? Like what what what would you

82
00:04:41.480 --> 00:04:44.920
<v Speaker 1>recommend as a percentage of your entire portfolio?

83
00:04:45.079 --> 00:04:46.920
<v Speaker 3>The diversification percentage?

84
00:04:47.120 --> 00:04:51.279
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? I mean long term, you know, we don't ever

85
00:04:51.480 --> 00:04:54.639
<v Speaker 2>like to exceed twenty five or thirty percent in a sector,

86
00:04:55.000 --> 00:04:57.560
<v Speaker 2>but for us to be that involved in a sector

87
00:04:57.959 --> 00:05:02.000
<v Speaker 2>we have to see extraordinarily low prices. Right Again, this

88
00:05:02.160 --> 00:05:04.959
<v Speaker 2>is what's so pernicious about that. Not only are you

89
00:05:05.120 --> 00:05:09.199
<v Speaker 2>so overloaded by like forty percent in this sector, it's

90
00:05:09.240 --> 00:05:12.279
<v Speaker 2>also the most expensive sector in the market, and it's

91
00:05:12.319 --> 00:05:14.879
<v Speaker 2>the most expensive sector in the history of the market. Right.

92
00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:18.120
<v Speaker 2>So again, not saying the whole bottom is gonna fall

93
00:05:18.160 --> 00:05:20.319
<v Speaker 2>out tomorrow, but there's two things that are gonna happen.

94
00:05:20.759 --> 00:05:23.639
<v Speaker 2>Those stocks have made the majority of the gains that

95
00:05:23.680 --> 00:05:26.560
<v Speaker 2>they're gonna make over the next five decent, meaning those

96
00:05:26.600 --> 00:05:29.160
<v Speaker 2>stocks are not going to continue their performance over the

97
00:05:29.160 --> 00:05:31.800
<v Speaker 2>next five to seven that they have over the previous ten.

98
00:05:31.839 --> 00:05:37.879
<v Speaker 2>They're just not okay either well they either they won't

99
00:05:38.120 --> 00:05:40.319
<v Speaker 2>or those companies will all be larger than the size

100
00:05:40.360 --> 00:05:43.040
<v Speaker 2>of the entire US economy. I'm gonna bet that's not

101
00:05:43.079 --> 00:05:47.079
<v Speaker 2>gonna happen, okay. And so the other big issue, though,

102
00:05:47.160 --> 00:05:50.000
<v Speaker 2>like we've said before, it's not so much well it is.

103
00:05:50.439 --> 00:05:53.439
<v Speaker 2>It's not just a problem what you're exposed to, it's

104
00:05:53.480 --> 00:05:55.839
<v Speaker 2>what you're not, right, that's the other problem. Not only

105
00:05:55.920 --> 00:05:59.639
<v Speaker 2>are you forty percent exposed to this sector, but what

106
00:05:59.759 --> 00:06:01.279
<v Speaker 2>else are you not exposed to?

107
00:06:01.920 --> 00:06:02.120
<v Speaker 1>Right?

108
00:06:02.480 --> 00:06:05.639
<v Speaker 2>And that to us is the biggest danger because we're

109
00:06:05.639 --> 00:06:07.560
<v Speaker 2>looking around a bunch of different sectors and a bunch

110
00:06:07.600 --> 00:06:10.879
<v Speaker 2>of different places, and we're seeing you know, I was

111
00:06:10.920 --> 00:06:14.959
<v Speaker 2>talking on our own show about a wonderful, growing, well run,

112
00:06:15.160 --> 00:06:20.279
<v Speaker 2>beautiful balance sheet, solidly cash flowing natural gas company that

113
00:06:20.319 --> 00:06:22.120
<v Speaker 2>we own that's going to be right in the middle

114
00:06:22.120 --> 00:06:25.240
<v Speaker 2>of shipping this whole surge of shipping liquid natural gas

115
00:06:25.240 --> 00:06:27.560
<v Speaker 2>to Europe. And oh, by the way, they're also paying

116
00:06:27.560 --> 00:06:30.759
<v Speaker 2>a twelve percent annual dividend, right, And so you're looking

117
00:06:30.759 --> 00:06:33.079
<v Speaker 2>at stuff like that, You're like, man, why am I

118
00:06:33.120 --> 00:06:36.240
<v Speaker 2>going to mess with something like Nvidia twenty five or

119
00:06:36.360 --> 00:06:39.920
<v Speaker 2>thirty times revenue when I'm sitting here buying these wonderful

120
00:06:39.959 --> 00:06:42.319
<v Speaker 2>companies that are paying me twelve percent. You know, there's

121
00:06:42.680 --> 00:06:44.040
<v Speaker 2>there's just so much better.

122
00:06:43.800 --> 00:06:48.600
<v Speaker 1>Stuff to own out there, and go ahead, No, no, too, Bay,

123
00:06:48.600 --> 00:06:50.839
<v Speaker 1>go ahead. Oh I was gonna say. So, Like when

124
00:06:50.879 --> 00:06:53.720
<v Speaker 1>there's these giant you know, when you read the headlines

125
00:06:53.720 --> 00:06:55.959
<v Speaker 1>first thing in the morning and you see, oh my god,

126
00:06:56.000 --> 00:06:58.800
<v Speaker 1>like the futures are saying the world is ending and

127
00:06:58.839 --> 00:07:01.680
<v Speaker 1>everything is going south, it's so tempting, I know, for

128
00:07:01.759 --> 00:07:04.319
<v Speaker 1>people who are risk averse to be like Oh my god,

129
00:07:04.319 --> 00:07:06.519
<v Speaker 1>I gotta get rid of all my tech stalks. Yeah,

130
00:07:06.519 --> 00:07:08.959
<v Speaker 1>but you're you're not suggesting like when you see a

131
00:07:08.959 --> 00:07:12.120
<v Speaker 1>headline like that, dump everything and run for the hills,

132
00:07:12.480 --> 00:07:17.480
<v Speaker 1>you still should be exposed. Maybe, just not a crazy amount,

133
00:07:17.639 --> 00:07:18.639
<v Speaker 1>is what I'm understanding.

134
00:07:18.839 --> 00:07:21.519
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and this is what's so important. Right Today is

135
00:07:21.560 --> 00:07:23.959
<v Speaker 2>an annoying day for us because some of our stuff

136
00:07:24.000 --> 00:07:27.040
<v Speaker 2>is getting hit right along. But why are we not concerned?

137
00:07:27.120 --> 00:07:31.600
<v Speaker 2>We're not concerned because our stuff is at ridiculously priced, right, meaning,

138
00:07:32.040 --> 00:07:35.279
<v Speaker 2>you know, if I've got you know, let's say you know,

139
00:07:35.360 --> 00:07:37.839
<v Speaker 2>let's say I'm buying a I don't know. Let's say

140
00:07:37.839 --> 00:07:40.439
<v Speaker 2>I'm buying a house right now in or let's say

141
00:07:40.439 --> 00:07:44.360
<v Speaker 2>I bought a house five years back and it only

142
00:07:44.399 --> 00:07:47.319
<v Speaker 2>it had only rallied fifteen percent since the eight or

143
00:07:47.600 --> 00:07:51.120
<v Speaker 2>nine lows. Right, I might not be the best price

144
00:07:51.160 --> 00:07:53.120
<v Speaker 2>out there, but I'm sitting there going, Man, if this

145
00:07:53.240 --> 00:07:56.839
<v Speaker 2>thing's only fifteen percent off the O nine lows, I'm

146
00:07:56.879 --> 00:07:59.399
<v Speaker 2>probably safe. Right, There's probably not a lot of fluff

147
00:07:59.399 --> 00:08:02.680
<v Speaker 2>in it. For instance, if you're buying these kinds of stocks,

148
00:08:02.720 --> 00:08:05.519
<v Speaker 2>these AI and tech type stocks right now, it's like

149
00:08:05.600 --> 00:08:07.839
<v Speaker 2>buying a house in two thousand and seven, right, I mean,

150
00:08:07.920 --> 00:08:11.160
<v Speaker 2>you're just buying these things priced to perfection. It doesn't

151
00:08:11.199 --> 00:08:14.160
<v Speaker 2>guarantee a collapse. These things have been expensive for a

152
00:08:14.199 --> 00:08:17.360
<v Speaker 2>long time. But what it does say is again today

153
00:08:17.399 --> 00:08:20.120
<v Speaker 2>should be a good reminder to people, this is why

154
00:08:20.160 --> 00:08:24.120
<v Speaker 2>you need to make sure you have a portfolio. And guys,

155
00:08:24.199 --> 00:08:28.959
<v Speaker 2>this cycle has gone on so long that it's to

156
00:08:29.000 --> 00:08:32.039
<v Speaker 2>the point when we get clients that bring portfolios in,

157
00:08:32.559 --> 00:08:35.840
<v Speaker 2>it is a rare event that you have a portfolio

158
00:08:36.200 --> 00:08:39.840
<v Speaker 2>that is properly diversified. It's shocking even people that have

159
00:08:39.919 --> 00:08:43.480
<v Speaker 2>somebody else managing their money. Right. So, then, to get

160
00:08:43.480 --> 00:08:45.840
<v Speaker 2>to your point, all of this is about. This is

161
00:08:45.840 --> 00:08:48.360
<v Speaker 2>not about the failure of AI. This is not about

162
00:08:48.399 --> 00:08:51.639
<v Speaker 2>America losing pace in the AI. This is about a

163
00:08:51.799 --> 00:08:57.919
<v Speaker 2>Chinese firm used several lower quality or not the most

164
00:08:58.000 --> 00:09:01.000
<v Speaker 2>expensive chips that in Vidia makes. They used stuff that

165
00:09:01.080 --> 00:09:04.679
<v Speaker 2>was two or three generations old, so way cheaper, and

166
00:09:04.720 --> 00:09:10.200
<v Speaker 2>they got outstanding results, which calls into question all of

167
00:09:10.240 --> 00:09:13.279
<v Speaker 2>the tens and hundreds of billions of dollars that we

168
00:09:13.480 --> 00:09:15.799
<v Speaker 2>thought so many of these tech companies were going to

169
00:09:15.879 --> 00:09:19.840
<v Speaker 2>have to spend on these chips. Now, personally, I think

170
00:09:19.879 --> 00:09:24.519
<v Speaker 2>the market is overreacting. What's hard about it, though, is

171
00:09:24.559 --> 00:09:28.399
<v Speaker 2>the market has already way over reacted to the upside

172
00:09:28.440 --> 00:09:32.519
<v Speaker 2>of AI sow reality in here. I don't really know,

173
00:09:32.600 --> 00:09:35.240
<v Speaker 2>but for the majority of these companies, today is a

174
00:09:35.279 --> 00:09:38.240
<v Speaker 2>perfect example of why we've just said, we don't buy

175
00:09:38.279 --> 00:09:41.799
<v Speaker 2>stuff that that's insane, that's that insanely expensive, because it's

176
00:09:41.840 --> 00:09:43.679
<v Speaker 2>impossible to know what it's really worth.

177
00:09:44.519 --> 00:09:47.360
<v Speaker 1>Oh my gosh. Well, and when we say today, by

178
00:09:47.399 --> 00:09:49.879
<v Speaker 1>the time this podcast airs, will have been talking about

179
00:09:49.879 --> 00:09:52.639
<v Speaker 1>Monday the twenty seventh, which is when everything was so

180
00:09:52.759 --> 00:09:56.759
<v Speaker 1>crazy with the market. And by the time this podcast airs,

181
00:09:56.879 --> 00:10:00.600
<v Speaker 1>you will have done another webinar, which I know our

182
00:10:00.600 --> 00:10:03.679
<v Speaker 1>listeners are huge fans of. So what can people expect

183
00:10:03.679 --> 00:10:06.519
<v Speaker 1>out of your webinars and where can they sign up?

184
00:10:07.159 --> 00:10:10.039
<v Speaker 2>Well, so we're going to walk through our general you know,

185
00:10:10.080 --> 00:10:12.600
<v Speaker 2>our process and show you how we do things and

186
00:10:12.639 --> 00:10:14.559
<v Speaker 2>you know how it's all about trying to minimize risk

187
00:10:14.600 --> 00:10:17.720
<v Speaker 2>but maximize upside potential. And in this one we're going

188
00:10:17.799 --> 00:10:22.399
<v Speaker 2>to show some specific charts. They don't necessarily, you know,

189
00:10:22.480 --> 00:10:24.919
<v Speaker 2>tell you exactly what's going to happen, but people need

190
00:10:24.960 --> 00:10:29.320
<v Speaker 2>to understand where we are and how how far out

191
00:10:29.320 --> 00:10:33.320
<v Speaker 2>there we are in terms of historical norms, and it's

192
00:10:33.399 --> 00:10:38.000
<v Speaker 2>not just about fear and risk, but it's also about opportunity. Right,

193
00:10:38.039 --> 00:10:41.000
<v Speaker 2>if we're buying things that are overpriced, it means that

194
00:10:41.080 --> 00:10:44.720
<v Speaker 2>we're not buying things that aren't right. There's opportunity costs

195
00:10:44.759 --> 00:10:46.720
<v Speaker 2>to investments. So we just want to show them some

196
00:10:46.759 --> 00:10:48.919
<v Speaker 2>of that stuff, show them what we think the risks

197
00:10:48.919 --> 00:10:50.759
<v Speaker 2>are out there, and then also show them what we

198
00:10:50.759 --> 00:10:54.840
<v Speaker 2>think there's some unbelievable potential investments that people are ignoring

199
00:10:54.879 --> 00:10:56.480
<v Speaker 2>the best way to do that is go to Know
