Speaker 3: it's Winning Wednesday, so we're excited to be with you
Speaker 3: here today. Also on today's show, have you ever wanted
Speaker 3: to go behind the scenes at your favorite charity? Well,
Speaker 3: guess what You're gonna get the chance to do that today.
Speaker 2: Shortly.
Speaker 3: Great to be here with you all, Sethidinsky, Sam Case
Speaker 3: in the control room, and your host Mark Manila with
Speaker 3: her This morning, Mark are opening topic for today's show,
Speaker 3: quarterly earnings reports. My brother, Is there anything that you're
Speaker 3: looking to see, hoping to see in this earning season
Speaker 3: that we're in Mark?
Speaker 2: Well, good morning, sir, Good morning Sam, Good morning everybody.
Speaker 2: How we do it? Yeah? Yeah, this. You know what
Speaker 2: a lot of people don't realize is this could be
Speaker 2: one of the most important weeks of this year, especially
Speaker 2: going forward. We have two major things coming out. We
Speaker 2: have the quarterly reporting going on and major major tech stocks,
Speaker 2: you know, the large ones. And then we also have
Speaker 2: the Federal Reserve meeting, So based on that, there could
Speaker 2: be a lot of information coming out that could guide
Speaker 2: help guide us for the rest of the year, you know,
Speaker 2: So Seth, Yeah, there's a lot I'm looking at. I'm
Speaker 2: looking at just in general, what these corporations believe is
Speaker 2: going on. First of all, think about this, all the
Speaker 2: AI money going out here, all the money that's being
Speaker 2: put into research. We need to see whether any of
Speaker 2: that's turning into revenues or not. Now, I know it's
Speaker 2: still a little bit early, but if it's not at
Speaker 2: least indicating a revenue increase or growth, it may cost
Speaker 2: some people to get a little bit concerned about what's
Speaker 2: going on there. I want to know what the Feds
Speaker 2: think about the economy. I want to know what's going
Speaker 2: on in corporate profit ability and uh, you know, there's
Speaker 2: just so many things and whether those where those profits
Speaker 2: are sustainable and the quality of the earnings are they
Speaker 2: just accounting or are they just from raising prices because
Speaker 2: you know, you can't raise prices continuously. I want to
Speaker 2: know what's really going on in them all. Uh, there's
Speaker 2: a lot there to be looking at.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Mark, are you confident that Kevin Walsh is going
Speaker 3: to give us more no tangible things that you.
Speaker 2: On or absolutely not. No, I'm not Kevin Walsh. I
Speaker 2: like him. I really like him. I like the way
Speaker 2: he thinks. I like the I like the idea that
Speaker 2: it's getting rid of the plot. You know, the dot
Speaker 2: plot thing on interest rates, which is nothing more than
Speaker 2: a the educational guess is by the twelve member board.
Speaker 4: You know, it's like a average months out.
Speaker 2: Well, for the first three months, it's okay at best.
Speaker 2: When it when they get out to one year out,
Speaker 2: they're just as bad. They're worse than a weather rep.
Speaker 2: That's the issue, at least the weather. We have the radar, right.
Speaker 2: I think a better way to look at that plot
Speaker 2: was to say this is what they're thinking of now,
Speaker 2: nothing more than that, because as of tomorrow they're wrong.
Speaker 2: So yeah, there's a.
Speaker 4: Lot of things I'm looking My favorite thing about worst
Speaker 4: right now is this is you know what we actually
Speaker 4: needed to fed.
Speaker 2: We need good data.
Speaker 4: We need to make sure we're actually looking at what's
Speaker 4: happening in real life and not just political real times.
Speaker 2: There's no reason not to do real time. We have
Speaker 2: a government that's huge. There's no reason we can't get
Speaker 2: this information in in real time. And guess what, you
Speaker 2: could actually get real data points and just take instead
Speaker 2: of just taking polls. How about that with all the
Speaker 2: reporting that's done by corporations, by individuals and stuff mandatorily
Speaker 2: to the government, they could really have an incredible database
Speaker 2: growing that could give them real time information. So yeah,
Speaker 2: but that's another story regarding the Regarding what the report
Speaker 2: going on today, I think it's really important that we
Speaker 2: need to know if revenues genuinely are growing or not
Speaker 2: if they're not. We got some concerns. Did the company
Speaker 2: produce stronger cash flows? That's really important, and where the
Speaker 2: profits driven by business growth or just by cutting cost
Speaker 2: or share repurchases or even accounting adjustments or just lower expectation.
Speaker 2: You know, these things are important going forward because with
Speaker 2: the billions upon billions of dollars that are being put
Speaker 2: into AI, we need to see whether they're really preparing
Speaker 2: for a future that is able to produce the revenue
Speaker 2: of spending all our investment dollars on or are they
Speaker 2: just playing a game where they're doing cycle reinvesting. You know,
Speaker 2: I invest in this company over here because I need
Speaker 2: their chip. This company sells the ships to us, we
Speaker 2: pay them for the I mean it goes round and round,
Speaker 2: and they just caught they create fake commerce. You know,
Speaker 2: by doing that, we need to see more what's really
Speaker 2: going on. I want to know whether these profit margins,
Speaker 2: if they really believe these, if they have good profit margins,
Speaker 2: if they're sustainable. Again, raising prices is one way to
Speaker 2: create margins, but you can't keep doing that, so you
Speaker 2: have to reduce expenses as well to create margins. And
Speaker 2: are they doing that? Will AI really pay off in
Speaker 2: reducing expenses that way? Anyway, There's a lot going on
Speaker 2: and I think this could be very, very impactful.
Speaker 3: Absolutely, And folks, just to keep an eye out on
Speaker 3: this Microsoft and Meta report at the end of the
Speaker 3: bell today and then tomorrow we get Apple and Amazon.
Speaker 3: So you got four of the magnificent seven reporting in
Speaker 3: the next you know, less than twenty four hours, mark
Speaker 3: you forty eight hours, So we'll be keeping an eye
Speaker 3: on that for sure.
Speaker 2: Yeah. And there's really good leadership in these companies, really smart,
Speaker 2: which it makes it really hard because one of the
Speaker 2: things I really look for when I listen to those reports,
Speaker 2: is whether the management sounds confident, cautious or evasive. The
Speaker 2: evasive is the one I hate the most, that really
Speaker 2: bothers me. That's the one that gives me chills. It
Speaker 2: seems like they're covering something up. Yeah. Yeah, And I
Speaker 2: thought the last round was more evasive than confident or cautious.
Speaker 2: So I want to see what goes on there with
Speaker 2: these reports. And you know, I don't predict the future,
Speaker 2: but when we hear these reports, it can give us
Speaker 2: an indication. And obviously there's one or two things that
Speaker 2: could go on with these reports. One, it'll spook the
Speaker 2: markets and there'll be a sell off. We've already seen
Speaker 2: some premature sell aus in the last week, but it
Speaker 2: could be worse than that. A lot of people were
Speaker 2: positioned and in case the reports do turn evasive or cautious,
Speaker 2: but even that could be a good thing for for
Speaker 2: somebody who is a stewart in you know, who's an
Speaker 2: investment stewart, because that'll that'll bring in some really good
Speaker 2: buys which we've been waiting for for a long term time.
Speaker 2: But if they're all strong and they're all positive, it
Speaker 2: could indicate that we have a nice market to coast
Speaker 2: to the end of the ear on as well, So
Speaker 2: I'm looking forward to either way. I just want to
Speaker 2: know so I can plan on what stocks to be
Speaker 2: putting on the buyloss For us, there you.
Speaker 3: Go, six ten three six three eleven ten, folks, that's
Speaker 3: the number to call in against six ten three six
Speaker 3: three eleven ten Elsewhere. Sam found us an interesting article here.
Speaker 3: Looks like household wealth has never leaned as hard on
Speaker 3: the stock market as it is right now, What can
Speaker 3: you tell?
Speaker 2: Right? This is something we've kind.
Speaker 4: Of known, but just looking at these numbers is kind
Speaker 4: of crazy. This is according to Goldman Sachs, and they
Speaker 4: told clients last week that Americans, all Australians, and Swedish
Speaker 4: households hold more of their financial assets in the stock
Speaker 4: market than households anywhere else. Well, Europeans and Japanese people
Speaker 4: still rely mainly on cash. According to the Federal Reserve data,
Speaker 4: Americans are the most exposed, with stocks making up thirty
Speaker 4: two percent of everything American households own. That's well above
Speaker 4: the twenty seven percent peak during the dot com era.
Speaker 4: So what do you think about that?
Speaker 2: Mark? Well, I think it's very interesting. I think it
Speaker 2: shows how successful our country is. Yes, this is a
Speaker 2: if it's not a bubble, it's it sure smells and
Speaker 2: looks like one. So you know, we have this growth
Speaker 2: going on because of AI and AI reinvestment and all
Speaker 2: this stuff like that, which has pulled all the techts
Speaker 2: up and it's created a lot more a lot more
Speaker 2: wealth in America. Well, you know what, that's how freedom works,
Speaker 2: that's how ownership works, that's how capitalism works, and that's
Speaker 2: how a solid Christian foundation over a country works. It
Speaker 2: create hates the opportunity for productivity by individuals to have
Speaker 2: control over their lives, to follow God's word and do
Speaker 2: the right thing, be a great steward, and actually grow
Speaker 2: their wealth instead of having to live under the thumb
Speaker 2: of a government who determines how you live, where you live,
Speaker 2: what you live like. This country is a shining light
Speaker 2: of how to make the world work better, mostly because
Speaker 2: it's founded on biblical principles and then secondly because of
Speaker 2: the freedom and the personal responsibility that it teaches or
Speaker 2: used to teach and what it does. So I think
Speaker 2: it's a cool thing myself. Now. Granted we are in
Speaker 2: an all time high in the markets type of thing,
Speaker 2: so that wealth is a little bit overvalued. We can
Speaker 2: see that pull back easily if, like we're just talking about,
Speaker 2: the reporting goes wrong, if companies get stupid, if people panic,
Speaker 2: that can happen, you know. But thirty two percent, that
Speaker 2: means they're diversified into also bonds and cash and other
Speaker 2: type of things as well, including real estate which they
Speaker 2: don't mention in there. Why America over everybody else? Well,
Speaker 2: because God put his hand on this country. God bless
Speaker 2: this country, and hopefully he'll continue to do so, and
Speaker 2: hopefully this country will get on his knees and praise
Speaker 2: him for it. That's what being a Stuart's all about,
Speaker 2: and it's what how and why we do what we
Speaker 2: do here. Being a steward of your investments help you
Speaker 2: to align it so that you don't get into the
Speaker 2: poolbackss heavily six' ten three six's three eleven. Ten we
Speaker 2: got a great lineup for.
Speaker 5: Today why don't you join, us, Bulks.

Speaker 3: Guys it is Winning. Wednesday so let's get to it, Here,
Speaker 3: sam what have we got? Here this is an exciting.
Speaker 2: One it sure. Is.
Speaker 4: Georgia down In, georgia a church saw one hundred and
Speaker 4: twenty students make decisions For christ during a gospel outreach
Speaker 4: event designed for young athletes for student. Athletes it was
Speaker 4: hosted by a church Called First Baptist church Of, hazelhurst

Speaker 4: event Called night Of champions in partnership with the ministry
Speaker 4: Called strength of A, champion which focuses on reaching middle
Speaker 4: school and high school sports teams with The. Gospel the pastor,
Speaker 4: There Pastor Philip, worthington said about five hundred students and
Speaker 4: coaches from four counties attended that. Event all, told one
Speaker 4: hundred and twenty students made a decision For. Christ they're
Speaker 4: now following up with each student to make sure that
Speaker 4: they have a church to go to and also to
Speaker 4: receive A bible as. Well so very very good stuff
Speaker 4: down In.
Speaker 2: Georgia, absolutely this is really exciting to see get in
Speaker 2: the gospel and everybody wonders how we can help maintain our,
Speaker 2: country how we can help impact the, world help people
Speaker 2: out of. Poverty you, know the first step really is
Speaker 2: understanding Who god is and who owns it, all and
Speaker 2: how Much he loves, us and how he wants to
Speaker 2: utilize those resources not only not only to his, glory
Speaker 2: but to his glory in the way we care for
Speaker 2: our families and ourselves and raise people. Up it's a
Speaker 2: wonderful thing to see the gospel going getting out. There
Speaker 2: there is, yeah awesome.
Speaker 3: Stuff and you, Know mark's that's part of why we
Speaker 3: partner with ministries that get the gospel to, children particularly
Speaker 3: in the public, schools and that's Where crossroads comes. In it's, amazing.
Speaker 2: Absolutely cross The Goods club and you, know we're in
Speaker 2: the middle of a campaign right because we believe in
Speaker 2: getting the gospel out that's the foundations of. Everything that's
Speaker 2: why we partner With Crosswick Crossroads Kids, club and that's
Speaker 2: why we want to have them. On but one of
Speaker 2: the things that a lot of people don't know is
Speaker 2: like how long have they been, around what kind of
Speaker 2: impact they? Have you, Know seth talk at the beginning
Speaker 2: about going behind the scenes and finding out a little bit,
Speaker 2: more and we're going to do that. Today we're going
Speaker 2: to do that by talking With Nate, frank who is
Speaker 2: actually on the board Of Crossroads Kids, club and he's
Speaker 2: going to help us see behind the scenes a little.
Speaker 2: Bit welcome to Show.
Speaker 1: Nate thanks for having, me, guys it's great to be.
Speaker 1: Here really appreciate the time.
Speaker 2: Today, well, no we're glad you're with us because you
Speaker 2: don't get to, usually you, know go behind the scenes
Speaker 2: as much for a lot of a lot of. COMPANIES
Speaker 2: a lot of people like to hear. That how long
Speaker 2: have you been associated With? Crossroads, Well i've been on
Speaker 2: the board formally for about two, years but my association
Speaker 2: with the ministry goes back about. THIRTY i got it
Speaker 2: exposed to the ministry during my time At Wheaton, college
Speaker 2: got a little bit involved taking some basketball players over
Speaker 2: there to do some basketball camps at some of the
Speaker 2: earliest kids clubs around The chicago. Area saw the impact,
Speaker 2: then and they've stayed involved financially and now more formally
Speaker 2: over the last unbelievably three. Decades, well what was it
Speaker 2: that excited you About crossroads over other ministries that drew
Speaker 2: you to?
Speaker 1: Them, WELL i think the practicality of meeting kids where
Speaker 1: they are meeting a real, need helping kids find a
Speaker 1: way to fill their time after. School many of these
Speaker 1: kids without necessarily a great place to go in the
Speaker 1: time that school, ended at the time their parents got
Speaker 1: home from. Work this gave them a really constructive way
Speaker 1: to pass the time on a practical level and on spiritual,
Speaker 1: level an incredible chance to learn more about more about the,
Speaker 1: gospel more About god's impact in their. Lives so it
Speaker 1: just hit a nerve of something that was very much
Speaker 1: on the front, lines very much having an impact day to.
Speaker 1: Day that got me excited about it and has kept
Speaker 1: me excited about.
Speaker 2: It and specifically that impact is The gospel going out to. Children.
Speaker 2: Right that's, right that's right in the.
Speaker 1: School so the kids roll out of their class at
Speaker 1: three o'clock or three point thirty right into a very well,
Speaker 1: organized well planned program with volunteers who care a lot about.
Speaker 1: Them they have, fun they, snack they, play and then most,
Speaker 1: importantly they get a very real gospel message that's tailored
Speaker 1: to where they're at in their lives as young.
Speaker 2: People but as you, know we're going through a campaign
Speaker 2: right now trying to raise funds to Help crossroads actually
Speaker 2: open up more and more clubs at public. Schools what's
Speaker 2: the goal for this.
Speaker 1: Year, yeah we'd like To we'd like to open thirty
Speaker 1: clubs around the country this, year which seems like a
Speaker 1: bit of an audacious. GOAL i, mean that would be
Speaker 1: quite thirty percent growth for, us but, certainly you, know
Speaker 1: twenty percent growth in terms of the clubs that we.
Speaker 1: Have but you, know we believe there's a tremendous. Opportunity
Speaker 1: not only is there the, need this very real need
Speaker 1: that children have to find constructive ways to spend their,
Speaker 1: time and obviously the need for them to hear the,
Speaker 1: gospel but we have a model that is scalable when
Speaker 1: we can find church partners that are excited to lean,
Speaker 1: in when we can find financial partners that are excited
Speaker 1: about financing. This we can find the school so that
Speaker 1: are excited about bringing this in because they see the
Speaker 1: need and they talk, about you, know the impact that
Speaker 1: this has on the kids and frankly on their behavior
Speaker 1: and on their ability to be more engaged and better
Speaker 1: educated as. Students so the model is imminently, scalable and
Speaker 1: we feel like we've got the right team in. Place
Speaker 1: from A crossroads perspective to drive that kind of, growth the.
Speaker 2: Scalability that really interests me because it's a well planned.
Speaker 2: SITUATION i know that you partner with local churches for
Speaker 2: the school that you want to get, into for the
Speaker 2: elementary school that you want to get, into and that's.
Speaker 2: Important but you don't charge the churches for being, involved
Speaker 2: which is another important thing because there's literally one hundreds
Speaker 2: of thousand organizations out there that want to come alongside
Speaker 2: churches and charge them a fee to get involved with
Speaker 2: them to help them to do. Better but you don't
Speaker 2: charge them a fee to get involved With. Crossroads you
Speaker 2: just help them to get into the. School is that?
Speaker 1: Correct we help them to get into, schools and their
Speaker 1: investment is in terms of the time and energy and
Speaker 1: volunteers to drive the programming week in and week. Out
Speaker 1: but the right church partner sees this as a great
Speaker 1: ministry to their community and an extension of their children's.
Speaker 1: Ministry and so when you get a church that sees
Speaker 1: it that way and is excited and get a volunteer
Speaker 1: group that's excited about, that we can come. Alongside we
Speaker 1: can provide the support in terms of the regional coordinator
Speaker 1: who helps them, plan, organize get into the, school and
Speaker 1: then deliver the program week in and week. Out and
Speaker 1: we can provide the financial wherewithal to do it through
Speaker 1: generous sponsors who are excited about the vision in the
Speaker 1: same way that we.
Speaker 2: Are well speaking of generous. Sponsors now is a good
Speaker 2: time to bring that. Up it costs about four hundred
Speaker 2: dollars per year for the cost of having these per
Speaker 2: student at a, school and that we're trying to raise
Speaker 2: the money so that you can actually do the thirty
Speaker 2: new clubs going. On and if you haven't donated, yet
Speaker 2: now would be a good time because this is a
Speaker 2: donation for the. Gospel this is a donation for reaching
Speaker 2: kids while their brain is still more, aligned more innocent
Speaker 2: than the adult, rate and they can absorb the. Gospel
Speaker 2: they can absorb the wisdom and truth of The bible
Speaker 2: at this. Point so if, you if somebody would like
Speaker 2: to donate it this, TIME i guess what is? That,
Speaker 2: uh suck? Rusk what does?
Speaker 3: It?
Speaker 2: Reach reach our dot, Com reach our schools dot?
Speaker 3: Com Mark And i'm excited to, say actually we're up
Speaker 3: to seventy eight kids sponsored of Our Holy Sponsor Kids. Goal,
Speaker 3: yes so we're we're making great, progress making great.
Speaker 2: Progress and though those the number of kids being, sponsored
Speaker 2: there's a match for up to what was the total.
Speaker 3: Twenty five dollars twenty five.
Speaker 2: Thousands so the first twenty five thousand dollars that is
Speaker 2: donated will be matched with another twenty five thousand dollars
Speaker 2: from some some unknown person who wants to see the
Speaker 2: gospel get out. There and that's. Incredible tell me outside
Speaker 2: of outside of the. GOSPEL i, mean first of, all
Speaker 2: at my age and a lot of people younger than,
Speaker 2: me they've seen the pushback against Christ ristianity in the.
Speaker 2: Schools how is it that we're Getting? Christianity how is
Speaker 2: it that we're Getting bible studies into the? Schools?
Speaker 1: Now, YEAH i think the first time people hear About Crossroads,
Speaker 1: model they're stunned because they've always been under the impression
Speaker 1: that A christian organization cannot operate in the, schools and,
Speaker 1: frankly across the, country there is the opportunity for a
Speaker 1: program like this to come, in talk to the, school
Speaker 1: talk to the, principal and a lot of principles get
Speaker 1: excited about this because they see the positive impact that
Speaker 1: has on the. Kids, holistically the behavior that they display
Speaker 1: then when they come.
Speaker 2: To class et.
Speaker 1: Cetera so it's a very open door and it's one
Speaker 1: when you come in you bring the right, message the right.
Speaker 1: Partner the schools not only have the ability to do,
Speaker 1: it there's no legal restriction against, it but the principles
Speaker 1: in many cases are very excited about. It and then
Speaker 1: once they see it and they see the impact it
Speaker 1: starts to have on these, students they're excited to have
Speaker 1: it come back and get you to expand and grow
Speaker 1: year in and year out with within the. Schools and you,
Speaker 1: know we do we do annual. Gallas we'll have principles
Speaker 1: from schools that have been touched By crossroads come and
Speaker 1: talk about the. Impact so the opportunity is very much.
Speaker 1: There and what's exciting is that the donation that somebody
Speaker 1: gives today will be deployed in a school for a
Speaker 1: student this. Fall so it's it's not an ethereal out
Speaker 1: there in the future kind of kind of donation and
Speaker 1: impact this. Is this goes right from the donor to
Speaker 1: the front lines to new clubs happening across the country this.
Speaker 2: Year, Well, Nate i'm going to ask you a point
Speaker 2: blank question and it's AND i want just your initial
Speaker 2: reaction to This Crossroads Kids. Club are we seeing children
Speaker 2: come To?
Speaker 1: Christ we, are and and again we we Get we
Speaker 1: on the, board we have the privilege of hearing these
Speaker 1: testimonies on a regular. Basis but it's it's powerful not
Speaker 1: only the impact that's happening today or this fall with,
Speaker 1: kids but we're seeing now kids who Were crossroads students
Speaker 1: twenty thirty years ago leading. Clubs we just had One
Speaker 1: crossroads kid who's now in her forties joined the. Board
Speaker 1: so this isn't a moment in time kind of feel
Speaker 1: good thing where all a kid makes a decision and
Speaker 1: they don't really know what it is that they're. Deciding
Speaker 1: this is a life changing kind of. Ministry it's leading
Speaker 1: to life changing decisions where we're seeing the fruit now
Speaker 1: of these kids now as full grown, adults pouring back
Speaker 1: into the. Ministry so it is a really Powerful as
Speaker 1: you mentioned, earlier it's say it's the right time to
Speaker 1: start to talk to kids about the gospel and the
Speaker 1: results are the results are incredible and really.

Speaker 3: wasn't all that. Bad the Dal jones had a great.
Speaker 3: Day it was up over a full, PERCENT smp and
Speaker 3: The russell two thousand were both up, slightly and The
Speaker 3: nasdaq was down. Slightly and as of this, morning market
Speaker 3: looks Like i'm seeing all, red but not catastrophic. Red
Speaker 3: we do have A fed decision coming up later. Today
Speaker 3: we've got those big tech earnings calls as, well so
Speaker 3: a lot that the market's keeping an eye. On The
Speaker 3: nasdaq actually just turned. Green but that and THE s
Speaker 3: AND p are basically, flat and The dow is down,
Speaker 3: slightly and Oil mark is up from where it was.
Speaker 3: Yesterday because our our our, friends those those peace, loving you,
Speaker 3: know wonderful people In iran peacefully lobbed some more, rockets
Speaker 3: so that's what. It's it was, peaceful but it was
Speaker 3: Peace it was mostly, Peaceful so they mostly.
Speaker 2: Peaceful inter ballistic missiles being rained ON us military.
Speaker 4: Base they're painted, pink so, Exactly, OH i, see, yeah.
Speaker 3: It's ridiculous or come, Soon. Mark we had a good
Speaker 3: question to hear From. Wayne he's sixty. Nine he's, saying
Speaker 3: we've been investing biblically responsibly with financial issues for many years.
Speaker 3: Now we've now just changed our. Advisors one area that
Speaker 3: comes up for investing is looking at corporate bonds and
Speaker 3: the question is do you consider this an investment, option
Speaker 3: such as you know stocks Like caterpillar or other bri.
Speaker 3: Companies what are the pros and cons that you would
Speaker 3: say are needed to be? Considered and it would be
Speaker 3: cash not needed for a few. Years so that's kind
Speaker 3: of his situation there That wayne's. Got what do you, Think?
Speaker 3: Mark what Should wayne?
Speaker 2: Do cash not needed for a few years. Now WHEN
Speaker 2: i was a, KID i asked my mom what's the
Speaker 2: difference between a couple and a, Few and she's told
Speaker 2: me that a couple is two and a few might
Speaker 2: be three or. Less so we're talking about very short term.
Speaker 2: Money you, know bonds too can lose. Money you have
Speaker 2: to be very. Careful if you went back and looked
Speaker 2: at two thousand and eight or nineteen ninety eight or.
Speaker 2: Whenever whenever you had a major stock market, pullback you
Speaker 2: also saw bonds pulling back real. Hard so you have
Speaker 2: to be careful with. That realize that bonds can lose
Speaker 2: money or lose value as, well especially if interest rates
Speaker 2: end up going. Up when it interest rates, rise bond
Speaker 2: prices go. Down, now it's not as drastic as a
Speaker 2: lot of the market, swings but it's. There, also bonds
Speaker 2: do recover a little. Quicker so the first Thing i'd
Speaker 2: like to just make sure you understand your wayne is
Speaker 2: that bonds do have some volatility to, them just not
Speaker 2: as drastic usually as a stock. Market the second Thing
Speaker 2: i'd like to bring, up and this is probably the
Speaker 2: most important since you asked about the most, important is
Speaker 2: that we should we shouldn't just consider the, return but
Speaker 2: along with the bond not being ownership but lending to a,
Speaker 2: company we still have the Same biblical responsible responsibilities with
Speaker 2: a company because, effectively even though you're not owning that
Speaker 2: company and participating in in whatever that company does through your,
Speaker 2: ownership you are funding a company by lending the money
Speaker 2: by buying. Bonds so the same thing that applies To
Speaker 2: biblical responsible screening for stocks applies for. Bonds you definitely
Speaker 2: don't want to be funding the enemy with. Money in
Speaker 2: The Wall Street, AWAKENING i wrote a little story about
Speaker 2: about a gentleman who was at war In, iraq and
Speaker 2: he was talking about how his friend lost his leg
Speaker 2: and another friend got shot and, died and how you
Speaker 2: know somebody else is lucky because they get they lost
Speaker 2: their arm and they're going to be shipped. Home and he,
Speaker 2: said but the good news is they're running out of
Speaker 2: money to fund their world over, here because they're dropping
Speaker 2: leaflets saying that they're paying high interest on. Bonds, hey,
Speaker 2: honey maybe we should buy into some of these bonds
Speaker 2: for the. Future SURE i might get killed because of,
Speaker 2: it but what the heck will make good? Interest you,
Speaker 2: know obviously we don't want to fund the. Enemy that's
Speaker 2: the bottom. Line and when it comes To biblical responsible,
Speaker 2: investing we use the same screens on the parent company
Speaker 2: issuing those bonds as we do with the with whether
Speaker 2: we're buying a stock or. Not so make sure that
Speaker 2: your broker understands. Us make sure they understand Your christian
Speaker 2: worldview and your desire to Honor god and all you,
Speaker 2: do including how you invest in how you lend. Money,
Speaker 2: remember bonds are lending. Money if you do, THAT i
Speaker 2: think you'll be. OKAY i still think that three years
Speaker 2: might be a little bit short for throwing all your
Speaker 2: money into. Bonds for that, time you might want to
Speaker 2: diversify a little bit more by getting out of corporate
Speaker 2: some in corporate, bonds some in government, bonds and some
Speaker 2: in money market account high high yielding money market accounts
Speaker 2: for that short of a. Period just some thoughts on.
Speaker 2: IT i hope that, Helps, WAYNE i hope that brings
Speaker 2: it to. YOU i hope that first and foremost you'll
Speaker 2: remember to make sure you're who's ever guiding you has
Speaker 2: the Same christian worldview you, do because those stock ETFs
Speaker 2: and those kind of, things they're not going to be,
Speaker 2: clean primarily unless you're Using Timothy plan or something like
Speaker 2: that that we know is. Clean but if he makes
Speaker 2: a recommendation and you're not sure how to screen, it
Speaker 2: how to go out To Financial issues and go to
Speaker 2: the screen it clean it button and put it in,
Speaker 2: there just give us a call or send us an
Speaker 2: email and we'll screen it for. YOU i appreciate the, Question,
Speaker 2: wayne it's a very good, question and speaking about good, Questions.
Speaker 2: Seth here's one From jay In, Montgomery. Texas it, Says
Speaker 2: seth And, mark you may have already addressed, this but
Speaker 2: what about those of us who you are retired On Social?
Speaker 2: Security now we've paid into Social security all our working,
Speaker 2: years shouldn't we get what was entitled to? Us, Well,
Speaker 2: mark we say to, that let me say this.
Speaker 3: First you teeing up that question for me is just
Speaker 3: so on.
Speaker 4: BRAND i appreciate the normally for those of you just
Speaker 4: listening on, Radio mark has a massive.
Speaker 2: Grid he's so, happy he's so delighted those of you new.
Speaker 3: Listeners is a running joke on our show about my
Speaker 3: relationship With Social. Security, jay here's the. Deal it's a good.
Speaker 3: Question we have addressed it, before But i'll address it
Speaker 3: again and, gladly And i'll try to do my best
Speaker 3: not to get on a rent or a soapbox with.
Speaker 3: This the reality of it Is jay that, yes you
Speaker 3: did pay Into Social security all those working, years but
Speaker 3: it was not an. Investment you did not pay into
Speaker 3: it with an expectation of return on. Investment it's a
Speaker 3: tax that you paid for the people twenty thirty forty
Speaker 3: years older than you to be able to receive that.
Speaker 3: Money you paid for them to be on, it and
Speaker 3: the next generations pay for you to be on. It
Speaker 3: it's a, tax it's not an. Investment your government leaders
Speaker 3: may have told you that it, was and they, lied
Speaker 3: and that's basically.
Speaker 2: Mark if they didn't, lie they misrepresented or maybe they
Speaker 2: misrepresented it exactly right there for a long. Time and,
Speaker 2: yeah you, know originally they. Didn't originally they came out
Speaker 2: and said this is a safety net for those who
Speaker 2: tried and failed and those who are going into retirement
Speaker 2: who can't work anymore but don't have any resources to
Speaker 2: care for themselves in an ultra rich company Like. AMERICA
Speaker 2: i think charity and compassion is. Worthwhile seth AND i
Speaker 2: like the idea coming together to help people who aren't
Speaker 2: able to help. Themselves AND i also believe that the
Speaker 2: structure of this was more of a socialistic, structure just
Speaker 2: like you, do than it is a Capitalistic christian. STRUCTURE
Speaker 2: i think if the government would have, Said, okay it's
Speaker 2: going to be mandatory that you SAY x amount of
Speaker 2: your your pay every every day to an investment account
Speaker 2: that you manage but can't, touch to your fifty five
Speaker 2: or sixty or sixty. Five that would have made so much. Sense,
Speaker 2: actually we would have made a lot of millionaires by doing.
Speaker 2: That instead of a lot of people getting a few
Speaker 2: thousand dollars a, month we would have created millions of
Speaker 2: dollars for. People, so, Uh, MARK i get why you're
Speaker 2: upset with, this AND i don't think you should step
Speaker 2: down from your. SOAPBOX i think you should get on
Speaker 2: it high and we should hold The house, representatives, yeah
Speaker 2: to get this change and absolutely to change it to
Speaker 2: where it actually is and.
Speaker 3: Actually really benefit people's that's part of, It mark. Too and,
Speaker 3: folks let me let me say this to you. ALL
Speaker 3: i don't know if you all know, this, listeners BUT
Speaker 3: i actually deeply love. YOU i deeply love our. Listeners
Speaker 3: i'm just so grateful for, you AND i want you
Speaker 3: to be able to get the best out of What
Speaker 3: god has given. You AND i don't think Social security
Speaker 3: is the. Best AND i ALSO i don't want you
Speaker 3: to be lied to and deceived into thinking that you're
Speaker 3: paying in to this thing all these years that is
Speaker 3: an investment for, you when really all it is is
Speaker 3: it's a tax from your government to pay for the
Speaker 3: people who are above. You and what you're receiving now
Speaker 3: is not the money you put. In it's the tax
Speaker 3: from the younger. Generations it's a multi level marketing, scheme
Speaker 3: that's really what it.
Speaker 2: Is and they spent that money. Elsewhere, yeah that's exactly.
Speaker 2: Right they promised me they. Do and Al gore has
Speaker 2: been so honest ABOUT i believe, alive you. BELIEVE i
Speaker 2: remember him telling me about climate change directly from his
Speaker 2: leerg jet that he was flying across the ocean to
Speaker 2: get together with other people to talk about HOW uh
Speaker 2: emissions are terrible for the don't get. Me there's plenty
Speaker 2: of room on the soapbox next to be. Here there
Speaker 2: may be, room but there's not. Time the number here
Speaker 2: is six ten three six three eleven. Ten we'd love
Speaker 2: you to call in the last fifteen minutes we have

Speaker 3: Folks it is delightful and lively to be here with you.
Speaker 3: All you know, WHAT i can't think of a better, transition,
Speaker 3: guys from social security to the. Scriptures let's have a.
Speaker 3: Palatequain we call that a valid, queek Right, Sam what
Speaker 3: does it Saym matthew six twenty? Four would you remind
Speaker 3: us what it?
Speaker 2: Is?
Speaker 4: Yes no one can serve two, masters for either he
Speaker 4: will hate the one and love the, other or else
Speaker 4: he will be loyal to the one and despise the.
Speaker 4: Other you cannot Serve god And Mammon.
Speaker 3: Well said, Right, Mark, absolutely our loyalties can't be. Divided
Speaker 3: you got to pick.
Speaker 2: One right better Be well said it. Was but it
Speaker 2: doesn't say say you can't be a believer and Manage
Speaker 2: god's wealth that he entrusts to. You that's really. IMPORTANT
Speaker 2: a lot of people take that and they start getting,
Speaker 2: well you. Shouldn't you shouldn't be trying to develop. Wealth,
Speaker 2: No god wants us to do the best we can
Speaker 2: with everything he's entrusted to. Us we should do. That
Speaker 2: we just. Don't we just don't bow to, Money we
Speaker 2: bow To. God if the money all went, away we
Speaker 2: should still be able to have the joy of The
Speaker 2: lord in us and not lose our faith or become
Speaker 2: anxiety stricken or like they used to talk about people
Speaker 2: jumping out of the fifth story window On Wall street
Speaker 2: because the market. Crashed we don't do. That what we
Speaker 2: say Is god's got a. Reason Praise. God we did
Speaker 2: the best we can with what he gave, us and
Speaker 2: we keep moving. Forward so it's a wonderful. Thing we
Speaker 2: don't worship. Money what we. Do it's a. Tool we
Speaker 2: utilize it like a shovel or a, hammer and hopefully
Speaker 2: we don't hit our thumb too. Much, well said Brother.
Speaker 3: Mark we got a couple of folks in the chat
Speaker 3: asking about the new, stock the new position that we
Speaker 3: put on the buy list BE epi roblin some other ones,
Speaker 3: SAYING i see FB epi listed as fixed, income BUT
Speaker 3: i thought it was a. Preferred could you clarify what this?
Speaker 2: Is, Mark it's not a. Preferred it's not a. Stock
Speaker 2: it is a. NOTE a note is lending money to
Speaker 2: like a, bond so it. Is it is a fixed income.
Speaker 2: Product that's the bottom line on. It the issue that
Speaker 2: we have is, perpetual unlike most bonds that they set
Speaker 2: a date when they're going to call them back where
Speaker 2: they're going to buy them. Back this doesn't have. That
Speaker 2: it could go on. Forever so even if you're buying
Speaker 2: it a, discount it may mean you never. Realize you,
Speaker 2: know let's say that it's at Fifty i'm just making
Speaker 2: up numbers for ease of. Illustration it's at fifteen, dollars and, think,
Speaker 2: WELL i could buy this and if they call it,
Speaker 2: back then they have to call it back at twenty.
Speaker 2: Five let's, say, well that could never. HAPPEN i, mean
Speaker 2: it could, happen but it may never. Happen so it
Speaker 2: has some unique things about. It it's subordinated also to other,
Speaker 2: debt like the bonds that they have out. There and
Speaker 2: by the, way fixed income isn't a single type of.
Speaker 2: Note it covers the whole thing of lending money from
Speaker 2: one entity to. Another so, yeah we have it as
Speaker 2: fixed income because that's what it.
Speaker 3: Is great point, There, mark appreciate, that. Folks let's go
Speaker 3: to the, phones shall, We, Mark brian call Them. Fromkansas
Speaker 3: let's do.
Speaker 2: That Welcome, brian glad to see you here this. Morning
Speaker 2: what's on your?
Speaker 7: Mind, hey hey, guys great to talk to, you great.
Speaker 7: Show learn a, lot have two questions for you on two.
Speaker 7: STOCKS i own both of. Them i'm forty nine years,
Speaker 7: old looking to see what you guys. Think one's sand
Speaker 7: DISC sndk and also WOLF, wlf both down about fifty
Speaker 7: percent from their.
Speaker 2: Highs i'm thinking about buying.
Speaker 7: MORE i, mean But i'm thinking about buying more BECAUSE
Speaker 7: i feel like they're kind of at a discount. Now
Speaker 7: BUT i just kind of wanted to get your thoughts
Speaker 7: on that.
Speaker 2: Mark, yeah, well you, know we've been talking To. Brian
Speaker 2: we've been talking About Blue Light specials possibly being around
Speaker 2: the corner for a. While i'm looking At sandusk and you,
Speaker 2: know it's it's it's business quality is, good you, know
Speaker 2: and it's valuation, now it's reasonably. VALUED I i think
Speaker 2: with their extraordinary revenue earnings and margin growth and uh
Speaker 2: uh the three billion of quarterly free cashual debt free balance,
Speaker 2: SHEET i think this there's nothing wrong with getting into
Speaker 2: it at this. TIME i have no problems with it
Speaker 2: being a bye for you at this. Time i'm going
Speaker 2: to maintain it on as as my opinion as a.
Speaker 2: Bye as far as Wolf wolf is a unique, creature,
Speaker 2: now this is for an Aggressive how old do you
Speaker 2: say you Were, Brian.
Speaker 7: I'm forty nine and, okay definitely an aggressive, investor So i'm.
Speaker 2: OLD i had to get that in there to make
Speaker 2: SURE i. Understand, okay, Well wolf would fit your. Criteria
Speaker 2: wolf is unique because If i'm remembering, Right, seth then
Speaker 2: you can check me on. This they're doing a conversion
Speaker 2: from being a bitcoin minor to being a data synday FOR.
Speaker 3: Ai, yeah which in this version that excites me a
Speaker 3: lot mark.
Speaker 2: Truthfully, yeah there's quite a few out there, now or
Speaker 2: at least a handful that are doing. That we we
Speaker 2: hooked on The wolf because of the leadership and how
Speaker 2: clear they were on what they were doing and what's going.
Speaker 2: On we didn't expected to change. OVERNIGHT i believe when
Speaker 2: we put it on the bi, list we put it
Speaker 2: on as aggressive because it's early stage of the. Conversion
Speaker 2: there's a lot of cash going into these, conversions but
Speaker 2: we're seeing revenues starting to happen, there and we're also
Speaker 2: seeing a lot of new sales going on that contracts
Speaker 2: being put into, place and so it looks like it's
Speaker 2: moving in the right. Direction, again it, Might, brian it
Speaker 2: might be a little. Early it is an aggressive stock
Speaker 2: because it could be highly, volatile especially if the reporting
Speaker 2: today comes, out if the big guns say they're pulling
Speaker 2: back on THEIR ai, stuff and if THE fed, says
Speaker 2: oh woe is, us we got to be careful going,
Speaker 2: forward that could cause a little fear in the, market
Speaker 2: which could cause things Like wolf and stuff to pull.
Speaker 2: BACK i still believe that it has a financial issue
Speaker 2: steal and the potential to be a great aggressive stock
Speaker 2: for somebody who has the time to weather some up and.
Speaker 2: Downs did that, Help? Brian, yeah no it.
Speaker 7: DID i won't touch this money for ten to fifteen.
Speaker 2: Years So, Ohio, WELL i appreciate. YOU i appreciate, you,
Speaker 2: know investing with biblical, integrity Honoring. God we need more
Speaker 2: people like, You brian to step up and start doing
Speaker 2: the right things for the right. Reason and that right
Speaker 2: reason is to Lies god's resources For god's purposes to his.
Speaker 2: Glory god bless you.
Speaker 7: Absolutely thanks.
Speaker 2: Guys, yeah By, god bless. You very.
Speaker 3: Cool, Hey, mark a follow up question With. Wolf as we,
Speaker 3: said you, know it's.
Speaker 2: We don't take follow up. Questions sorry about. That, YEAH
Speaker 2: i knows, WELL i just not.
Speaker 3: From people who don't like Social Security right now for
Speaker 3: me that your pretty, Eyes he'll change his mind, Rightly,
Speaker 3: mark here's my here's my. Question the the the move
Speaker 3: away from bitcoin TOWARDS ai. Infrastructure as you, said that
Speaker 3: was part of why we wanted to hook on to this.
Speaker 3: One what do you think of of bitcoin and cryptocurrency right?
Speaker 2: Now we.
Speaker 3: Don't we haven't touched on it often, recently AND i
Speaker 3: think for good. Reason. Uh is there any change in
Speaker 3: our status on cryptocurrency right?
Speaker 2: Now or is it still Just, yeah it is still Wild. West.
Speaker 2: Uh and here's my. Concern more than it being Wild.
Speaker 2: WEST i kind of like Wild west. Myself but here's my.
Speaker 2: Concern the, governments the central banks are developing digital, currency
Speaker 2: they're developing a way to use the the accounting system
Speaker 2: that backs all, that AND i believe it's going to
Speaker 2: cause a collapse in private digital. CURRENCIES i can't predict the,
Speaker 2: future AND i could be just as wrong As i'm,
Speaker 2: right but there's too much risk in it at this
Speaker 2: point for me to call it an. Investment it's more
Speaker 2: like gambling to. Me if there was a chart that
Speaker 2: showed investing in strong stocks on one side and gambling
Speaker 2: on the, Other, uh bitcoin would be just the other
Speaker 2: side of to the other side of investing into gambling for.
Speaker 3: Me, yeah, yeah absolutely seems that way for me as.
Speaker 1: Well.
Speaker 3: MARK i, mean you know it's.
Speaker 2: You.
Speaker 3: You it seemed it's seemed like the shiny new toy
Speaker 3: for so. Long but it seems like sound money and
Speaker 3: sound investing follows tends to be at least follows good
Speaker 3: solid investments at least that's you, know that's what it
Speaker 3: seems to.
Speaker 2: Be that's what you'd, hope, Right, oh, absolutely, yeah good.
Speaker 2: Stuff there's no way to ANALYZE i know a lot
Speaker 2: of people are gonna, say, well we chart, it we do. This,
Speaker 2: no there's no way to analyze. This first of, all
Speaker 2: it doesn't. Matter there's just there's no way to look
Speaker 2: at it and, say is there any financial steal in? This,
Speaker 2: no there's no, steal there's. Nothing it's all make. Believe
Speaker 2: it's all. Vibe somebody made this, up became a multi
Speaker 2: billionaire from making it, up and then, uh other people
Speaker 2: jump on the bandwig. Wagon there's nothing.
Speaker 3: There, yeah, yeah absolutely six' ten three, Six, THREE well
