<v Speaker 3>But what about our finances.

11
00:00:40.359 --> 00:00:41.960
<v Speaker 2>I think today's a good day to do a midyear

12
00:00:42.039 --> 00:00:44.920
<v Speaker 2>checkup on our finances for twenty twenty six. I'm Sethiinsky,

13
00:00:44.960 --> 00:00:47.000
<v Speaker 2>Sam case over in the control room, and here's your host,

14
00:00:47.079 --> 00:00:47.640
<v Speaker 2>Mark Manila.

15
00:00:48.200 --> 00:00:52.359
<v Speaker 4>Good morning everyone, Welcome to Financial Issues. Glad you're with us.

16
00:00:52.439 --> 00:00:56.159
<v Speaker 4>As we do begin talking about a midyear checkup, It's

17
00:00:56.159 --> 00:00:57.719
<v Speaker 4>going to be fun. I'm looking forward to take a

18
00:00:57.759 --> 00:01:04.920
<v Speaker 4>deep breath now, breathe normal, hopefully more enjoyable than a doctor.

19
00:01:04.959 --> 00:01:08.000
<v Speaker 3>I hate going to the doctor, so me for our listeners.

20
00:01:08.159 --> 00:01:08.560
<v Speaker 3>That's good.

21
00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:10.000
<v Speaker 2>Hey Mark, why don't we open our show though with

22
00:01:10.040 --> 00:01:12.519
<v Speaker 2>our verse of the week first it get it sounds.

23
00:01:12.239 --> 00:01:15.680
<v Speaker 4>Good, Luke sixteen to ten. He who is faithful, and

24
00:01:15.719 --> 00:01:18.239
<v Speaker 4>what is least is faithful also and much, and he

25
00:01:18.280 --> 00:01:21.799
<v Speaker 4>who is unjust, and what is least is unjust also

26
00:01:21.920 --> 00:01:25.079
<v Speaker 4>and much. I hope that you've been able to meditate

27
00:01:25.120 --> 00:01:26.760
<v Speaker 4>on this a little bit this week. You know, the

28
00:01:26.840 --> 00:01:29.719
<v Speaker 4>second half of it really hit me more so than

29
00:01:29.760 --> 00:01:32.599
<v Speaker 4>the first half for some reason this time around. And

30
00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:35.840
<v Speaker 4>it's the unjust in what is least is unjust usco

31
00:01:35.879 --> 00:01:40.519
<v Speaker 4>and much. If you think about investing and you think about, well,

32
00:01:41.040 --> 00:01:43.840
<v Speaker 4>it doesn't matter. I know this is on the cell

33
00:01:43.879 --> 00:01:47.719
<v Speaker 4>list now because of BRI violation, but I've held.

34
00:01:47.519 --> 00:01:49.680
<v Speaker 5>It for this long. What's it going to hurt now

35
00:01:50.159 --> 00:01:50.799
<v Speaker 5>type of thing?

36
00:01:51.640 --> 00:01:56.159
<v Speaker 4>Does that give us an indication seth of Maybe a

37
00:01:56.280 --> 00:01:59.879
<v Speaker 4>little compromise also will cause us to have big compromises.

38
00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:02.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's exactly right, Mark. I mean, well, that's why

39
00:02:02.280 --> 00:02:05.519
<v Speaker 2>we see so many warnings in the scriptures about this.

40
00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:09.439
<v Speaker 2>If you're willing to compromise on the little stuff, there

41
00:02:09.759 --> 00:02:12.159
<v Speaker 2>is nothing stopping you from compromising on the big stuff.

42
00:02:12.199 --> 00:02:15.199
<v Speaker 2>And Mark, that's not to say that the big stuff

43
00:02:15.719 --> 00:02:18.319
<v Speaker 2>is more important than the little stuff, because it's big.

44
00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:20.840
<v Speaker 3>What it really comes down to is a matter of

45
00:02:20.840 --> 00:02:21.199
<v Speaker 3>the heart.

46
00:02:21.240 --> 00:02:23.919
<v Speaker 2>If you're going to compromise on things that are small,

47
00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:26.520
<v Speaker 2>or even on private matters, you're going to compromise in

48
00:02:26.520 --> 00:02:29.599
<v Speaker 2>public as well. It's ultimately about having a pure heart.

49
00:02:29.639 --> 00:02:30.400
<v Speaker 3>I believe the.

50
00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:33.879
<v Speaker 6>New Testament warns all the time about not hardening your heart.

51
00:02:34.639 --> 00:02:36.800
<v Speaker 6>And this is how you harden it is by little

52
00:02:37.879 --> 00:02:40.919
<v Speaker 6>little slip ups, little giving in to temptation here and there,

53
00:02:40.960 --> 00:02:43.120
<v Speaker 6>and that's how you lead to the road of destruction.

54
00:02:43.199 --> 00:02:44.879
<v Speaker 6>And that's one of the things that's warning about in

55
00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:45.360
<v Speaker 6>this verse.

56
00:02:46.439 --> 00:02:47.560
<v Speaker 5>H well sided, gentlemen.

57
00:02:47.680 --> 00:02:49.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, good stuff, folks. If you want to chime in

58
00:02:49.319 --> 00:02:50.960
<v Speaker 2>on this verse or whatever we talk about today. By

59
00:02:50.960 --> 00:02:53.080
<v Speaker 2>the way, the number six ten three six three eleven ten.

60
00:02:53.199 --> 00:02:55.039
<v Speaker 2>Again it's focus Friday, so we want to hear from

61
00:02:55.039 --> 00:02:58.719
<v Speaker 2>all of you. Six' ten three six three eleven. Ten all, Right,

62
00:02:58.759 --> 00:03:01.000
<v Speaker 2>mark let's head to the doctors here for our check in,

63
00:03:01.120 --> 00:03:05.719
<v Speaker 2>halfway so you know we we Tend. MARK i, find

64
00:03:05.719 --> 00:03:08.560
<v Speaker 2>in my experience, anyway to look deepest at our personal

65
00:03:08.560 --> 00:03:11.800
<v Speaker 2>financial health at certain times in our life. Cycle for,

66
00:03:11.879 --> 00:03:14.520
<v Speaker 2>example on the cusp of a big financial, decision if

67
00:03:14.520 --> 00:03:16.840
<v Speaker 2>you're about to buy a, house you tend to look at,

68
00:03:16.879 --> 00:03:18.840
<v Speaker 2>it or maybe at the beginning of the new year

69
00:03:18.879 --> 00:03:21.759
<v Speaker 2>we Do New year's, resolutions maybe during tax, season BUT

70
00:03:21.879 --> 00:03:24.759
<v Speaker 2>i think we should also mark ad the halfway point

71
00:03:24.759 --> 00:03:27.639
<v Speaker 2>of every year as a good time to do this deep.

72
00:03:27.719 --> 00:03:29.759
<v Speaker 2>Dive it's halfway through the year we can check up

73
00:03:29.800 --> 00:03:31.560
<v Speaker 2>on our. Goals So, mark let's kick it off. There

74
00:03:31.599 --> 00:03:33.199
<v Speaker 2>what are some of the most important questions that we

75
00:03:33.199 --> 00:03:35.719
<v Speaker 2>should be asking ourselves as we kind of comb through

76
00:03:35.719 --> 00:03:38.159
<v Speaker 2>and assess our financial health halfway through the.

77
00:03:38.240 --> 00:03:43.599
<v Speaker 4>Year, oh that's a good question about, Questions, Suth thank. You,

78
00:03:45.080 --> 00:03:47.960
<v Speaker 4>YEAH i think the most important one is to ask

79
00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:52.120
<v Speaker 4>yourself what's changed since the beginning of the, Year because

80
00:03:52.199 --> 00:03:55.919
<v Speaker 4>almost in everyone's life something has, Changed maybe not major,

81
00:03:56.000 --> 00:04:01.199
<v Speaker 4>changes maybe they're, small but has has your income gone

82
00:04:01.319 --> 00:04:02.000
<v Speaker 4>up or gone?

83
00:04:02.000 --> 00:04:04.479
<v Speaker 5>Down has purchasing gone?

84
00:04:04.560 --> 00:04:07.639
<v Speaker 4>Up has there been new things come into your life

85
00:04:07.680 --> 00:04:11.840
<v Speaker 4>that need financial? Attention what has changed since you set

86
00:04:11.879 --> 00:04:13.840
<v Speaker 4>your goals at the beginning of the, year since you

87
00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:17.480
<v Speaker 4>reviewed your finances at the end of last year and

88
00:04:17.560 --> 00:04:22.040
<v Speaker 4>adjusted your taxes and everything is what has? Changed that's

89
00:04:22.439 --> 00:04:24.480
<v Speaker 4>probably the most important question you could.

90
00:04:24.560 --> 00:04:25.519
<v Speaker 5>Ask how have you?

91
00:04:25.720 --> 00:04:29.759
<v Speaker 4>Changed how has your attitude changed to what the goals

92
00:04:29.800 --> 00:04:32.199
<v Speaker 4>you have set for the shorter, term the one year

93
00:04:33.079 --> 00:04:36.600
<v Speaker 4>that what has changed is the most important, QUESTION i

94
00:04:36.639 --> 00:04:37.519
<v Speaker 4>believe and.

95
00:04:37.560 --> 00:04:39.720
<v Speaker 2>Mark so that would then include looking back in the

96
00:04:39.800 --> 00:04:43.399
<v Speaker 2>last six months perhaps and, saying how has my life

97
00:04:43.519 --> 00:04:45.879
<v Speaker 2>changed to you, know maybe you had a baby in

98
00:04:45.920 --> 00:04:47.680
<v Speaker 2>the last six, months or maybe you had a job

99
00:04:47.800 --> 00:04:50.360
<v Speaker 2>change that's going to require some, checkout.

100
00:04:50.120 --> 00:04:52.879
<v Speaker 4>All, right or maybe you got involved in ministry and

101
00:04:52.959 --> 00:04:56.399
<v Speaker 4>the way you haven't, before it's changed the way you

102
00:04:56.519 --> 00:04:59.360
<v Speaker 4>need to stewart What god has entrusted to you to

103
00:04:59.399 --> 00:05:02.879
<v Speaker 4>make things. Happen it may actually have caused you to

104
00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:05.879
<v Speaker 4>drop some of the goals you had or to change

105
00:05:05.920 --> 00:05:09.000
<v Speaker 4>Those and if, so how does that affect what you

106
00:05:09.079 --> 00:05:12.720
<v Speaker 4>Believe god wants for you in the finances that you.

107
00:05:12.879 --> 00:05:14.439
<v Speaker 5>Have so if you.

108
00:05:14.480 --> 00:05:17.480
<v Speaker 4>Start start off by making a, list what's changed in

109
00:05:17.519 --> 00:05:21.680
<v Speaker 4>the last year that could affect my stewarding of my

110
00:05:21.879 --> 00:05:26.199
<v Speaker 4>life at this point and a few few areas THAT

00:05:26.399 --> 00:05:29.959
<v Speaker 4>i think, about you, know outside of those things like

<v Speaker 2>scrutiny of our finances where we're really combing through and

137

138
00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:46.879

142
00:06:58.199 --> 00:07:00.279
<v Speaker 4>journey and you can't plan for.

143
00:07:00.319 --> 00:07:02.959
<v Speaker 5>Everything you take a step and the world is.

144
00:07:03.040 --> 00:07:05.439
<v Speaker 4>Different you, know you take a step over a rock

145
00:07:05.519 --> 00:07:07.600
<v Speaker 4>and you're on the other side of the. Rock things are.

146
00:07:07.639 --> 00:07:11.959
<v Speaker 4>Different as, such we should be constantly. Evaluating but there's

147
00:07:11.959 --> 00:07:15.160
<v Speaker 4>a consciousness to stopping going before The lord and, saying.

148

155
00:07:36.240 --> 00:07:38.920
<v Speaker 4>journey of walking in the good works That god laid

156

<v Speaker 4>for us to walk. In every day there's more, consciousness

157
00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:46.240
<v Speaker 4>there's more, awareness there's new newness to, it and as

158
00:07:46.279 --> 00:07:48.879
<v Speaker 4>such we shouldn't see it As. OH i set a

159
00:07:48.920 --> 00:07:51.160
<v Speaker 4>goal of putting AWAY x amount of dollars and THEN

160
00:07:51.199 --> 00:07:54.600
<v Speaker 4>i took in that homeless family for three, months AND

161
00:07:55.000 --> 00:07:57.560
<v Speaker 4>i spent all that money on, them and Now i'm

162
00:07:57.560 --> 00:08:00.399
<v Speaker 4>behind on my. Goals i'm so ashamed. HIM i, say,

163
00:08:00.480 --> 00:08:04.319
<v Speaker 4>no of, course not one step at a. Time The

164
00:08:04.399 --> 00:08:06.920
<v Speaker 4>lord is a light at our. Feet he doesn't show

165
00:08:07.000 --> 00:08:10.800
<v Speaker 4>us the next twenty. Miles he just shows us the next.

166
00:08:10.800 --> 00:08:13.680
<v Speaker 4>Step and as, such that's why we stop in the

167
00:08:13.680 --> 00:08:16.480
<v Speaker 4>middle of the. Year that's why we stop here and, say,

168
00:08:16.639 --> 00:08:19.560
<v Speaker 4>hey let's take a look at what's going. On one

169
00:08:19.639 --> 00:08:22.680
<v Speaker 4>of the Areas i'd like to, highlight, though because we

170
00:08:22.759 --> 00:08:25.240
<v Speaker 4>only got a couple of minutes left, here is. Taxes

171
00:08:25.720 --> 00:08:28.040
<v Speaker 4>this is an excellent time to look at your pay,

172
00:08:28.120 --> 00:08:31.480
<v Speaker 4>stubs look at your, checks and to, say, hey how

173
00:08:31.519 --> 00:08:34.240
<v Speaker 4>are things going with my? Withholdings how are things going

174
00:08:34.279 --> 00:08:37.960
<v Speaker 4>with My maybe you have a lot of capital gains

175
00:08:37.960 --> 00:08:39.240
<v Speaker 4>and you haven't done any.

176
00:08:39.279 --> 00:08:40.960
<v Speaker 5>Estimate taxes and sent them.

177
00:08:40.960 --> 00:08:43.159
<v Speaker 4>In maybe it's time to take a look at that

178
00:08:43.279 --> 00:08:47.360
<v Speaker 4>and adjust your taxes to so that there's no surprises

179
00:08:47.679 --> 00:08:50.559
<v Speaker 4>at the beginning of next year when when you have

180
00:08:50.600 --> 00:08:53.360
<v Speaker 4>to file your taxes where you're scrambling to get money

181
00:08:53.360 --> 00:08:56.639
<v Speaker 4>to pay taxes that you didn't pay, yet or you're

182
00:08:56.679 --> 00:08:59.519
<v Speaker 4>getting a large amount back which could have been in your.

183
00:08:59.600 --> 00:09:03.159
<v Speaker 4>Check but starting, now if you adjust your, withholdings so

184
00:09:03.200 --> 00:09:05.080
<v Speaker 4>now's a good time to do, that and it's not that.

185
00:09:05.240 --> 00:09:08.399
<v Speaker 4>Complicated you look at where your income is here to,

186
00:09:08.480 --> 00:09:10.879
<v Speaker 4>date is it where less than last? Year you take

187
00:09:10.919 --> 00:09:14.200
<v Speaker 4>that percentage of the difference and you, say based on,

188
00:09:14.279 --> 00:09:17.320
<v Speaker 4>that this is what my taxes were last, year and

189
00:09:17.879 --> 00:09:20.399
<v Speaker 4>compare it to where they are now and then adjust,

190
00:09:20.480 --> 00:09:22.639
<v Speaker 4>it and that can give you a little bit of.

191
00:09:22.720 --> 00:09:25.039
<v Speaker 4>Peace it might give you a little extra income, too

192
00:09:25.200 --> 00:09:28.120
<v Speaker 4>because you might be over withholding or. Under if you're under,

193
00:09:28.200 --> 00:09:31.679
<v Speaker 4>withholding that could really give you a heartache In april

194
00:09:31.720 --> 00:09:34.120
<v Speaker 4>of next. Year so now's a good time to adjust

195
00:09:34.120 --> 00:09:37.960
<v Speaker 4>that and then you, know kind of glide through the

196
00:09:38.000 --> 00:09:40.440
<v Speaker 4>rest of the year knowing your taxes are in line

197
00:09:40.519 --> 00:09:41.639
<v Speaker 4>and not have to worry about.

198
00:09:41.639 --> 00:09:41.840
<v Speaker 5>Them.

199
00:09:42.320 --> 00:09:45.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, mark what about tax loss harvesting, too you, know

200
00:09:45.320 --> 00:09:47.399
<v Speaker 2>keeping on the theme of. Taxes, yeah times start thinking

201
00:09:47.399 --> 00:09:47.879
<v Speaker 2>about that as.

202
00:09:47.879 --> 00:09:50.480
<v Speaker 4>Well it's a good time to start thinking about, it

203
00:09:51.039 --> 00:09:53.879
<v Speaker 4>especially if you have some losers or you have some

204
00:09:53.960 --> 00:09:57.559
<v Speaker 4>things that you're not sure what to do. With if

205
00:09:57.639 --> 00:10:01.000
<v Speaker 4>you do have some users and they're on and they

206
00:10:01.000 --> 00:10:04.440
<v Speaker 4>went to the cell, list well you're gonna harvest them

207
00:10:04.440 --> 00:10:06.720
<v Speaker 4>anyway because you're gonna get rid of, them especially if

208
00:10:06.759 --> 00:10:07.519
<v Speaker 4>they were br.

209
00:10:07.840 --> 00:10:09.759
<v Speaker 5>Compromised you're gonna have.

210
00:10:09.840 --> 00:10:13.039
<v Speaker 4>That but it's a time to start thinking about it

211
00:10:13.080 --> 00:10:15.960
<v Speaker 4>and watching it because we're seeing some pullbacks, now so

212
00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:18.960
<v Speaker 4>when we get into the third, quarter we're.

213
00:10:18.559 --> 00:10:20.000
<v Speaker 5>Gonna start more serious about.

214
00:10:20.039 --> 00:10:22.919
<v Speaker 4>It but maybe you could start thinking, about, hey MAYBE

215
00:10:22.960 --> 00:10:24.919
<v Speaker 4>i should be looking at this or this or. This

216
00:10:26.080 --> 00:10:28.320
<v Speaker 4>they don't seem to be recovering like the others, are

217
00:10:28.360 --> 00:10:31.440
<v Speaker 4>and maybe it's time to cut my losses and harvest

218
00:10:31.519 --> 00:10:35.200
<v Speaker 4>some harvest some tax loss to offset some of the

219

<v Speaker 4>so that when little children do come To, christ there's

256

00:14:54.799 --> 00:14:58.240
<v Speaker 5>Possibility but the good news is.

304
00:14:58.120 --> 00:15:01.360
<v Speaker 4>That money's not going all into. BONDS a lot of

305
00:15:01.399 --> 00:15:05.080
<v Speaker 4>it is just being dispersed into other sectors of the.

306
00:15:05.120 --> 00:15:10.240
<v Speaker 4>Economy and if you're well, diversified which we highly recommend

307
00:15:10.320 --> 00:15:13.360
<v Speaker 4>on the, show you're seeing some of that lift.

308
00:15:13.240 --> 00:15:16.320
<v Speaker 5>Other areas like BioMed and things like.

309
00:15:16.360 --> 00:15:20.759
<v Speaker 4>That so, continue continue to be. Diversified don't let, it

310
00:15:20.840 --> 00:15:23.559
<v Speaker 4>don't let it bother. You, yes we'll see some Some

311
00:15:24.519 --> 00:15:30.000
<v Speaker 4>when we see thirty sixty percent returns in six, months

312
00:15:30.000 --> 00:15:34.080
<v Speaker 4>you have to, expect uh that that that climb also

313
00:15:34.240 --> 00:15:36.720
<v Speaker 4>means that there's a dip on the other. Side but

314
00:15:36.799 --> 00:15:39.440
<v Speaker 4>if the company's made out of financial issue, still it

315
00:15:39.600 --> 00:15:42.399
<v Speaker 4>also means that the long run is still. There the

316
00:15:42.480 --> 00:15:45.039
<v Speaker 4>long term is. There the ride isn't over when that dip.

317
00:15:45.120 --> 00:15:49.480
<v Speaker 4>Comes so we don't panic and jump ship unless the

318
00:15:50.200 --> 00:15:56.840
<v Speaker 4>unless the fundamentals and the balance sheet really start decomposing as, well.

319
00:15:56.720 --> 00:15:59.840
<v Speaker 6>Unless the wood of the ship is rotting right and you,

320
00:16:00.080 --> 00:16:03.799
<v Speaker 6>jump or the wood on the roller coaster is, rotting,

321
00:16:03.879 --> 00:16:06.639
<v Speaker 6>well that's that's even worse. Problem you don't even have

322
00:16:06.679 --> 00:16:11.240
<v Speaker 6>the dinghies to get into that's, Right, Mark we've used

323
00:16:11.240 --> 00:16:13.240
<v Speaker 6>the roller coaster analogy a lot this. Summer do you

324
00:16:13.320 --> 00:16:15.519
<v Speaker 6>do you see any any rotting in the wood of the?

325
00:16:15.559 --> 00:16:16.320
<v Speaker 6>Market roller?

326
00:16:16.360 --> 00:16:18.919
<v Speaker 3>Coaster do you? Know, actually it's just a roller. Coaster

327
00:16:18.960 --> 00:16:19.600
<v Speaker 3>it's going to go up and.

328
00:16:19.600 --> 00:16:22.039
<v Speaker 5>Down, yeah that It that's what it's going to.

329
00:16:22.120 --> 00:16:25.759
<v Speaker 4>Do everybody's looking for the best, deal and often a

330
00:16:25.799 --> 00:16:29.879
<v Speaker 4>lot of, investors especially when we talk about the larger

331
00:16:29.919 --> 00:16:33.600
<v Speaker 4>investment firms and, stuff they're constantly, shifting trying to get

332
00:16:33.639 --> 00:16:36.039
<v Speaker 4>ahead of everybody else so that when the money pours

333
00:16:36.080 --> 00:16:37.440
<v Speaker 4>in this, segment they're already.

334
00:16:37.480 --> 00:16:38.399
<v Speaker 5>There so.

335
00:16:39.879 --> 00:16:44.039
<v Speaker 4>It's like it's like imagine a million people standing around

336
00:16:44.120 --> 00:16:49.399
<v Speaker 4>upon throwing rocks in. It one causes a ripple, effects

337
00:16:49.440 --> 00:16:52.399
<v Speaker 4>but a million those ripple. Effects you have a million ripple.

338
00:16:52.399 --> 00:16:55.919
<v Speaker 4>Effects some of those ripple effects cancel out, others some

339
00:16:56.159 --> 00:16:59.919
<v Speaker 4>combine with others and cause small waves that.

340
00:17:00.159 --> 00:17:01.279
<v Speaker 5>Rode the, bank and some.

341
00:17:01.480 --> 00:17:04.359
<v Speaker 4>Deposit you, know it's just over and over. Again there's

342
00:17:04.400 --> 00:17:09.440
<v Speaker 4>so much activity it's hard to. Really we really wouldn't

343
00:17:09.440 --> 00:17:12.240
<v Speaker 4>even want to have a market that didn't have a

344
00:17:12.279 --> 00:17:14.799
<v Speaker 4>lot of volatility in. It if we, did it wouldn't go.

345
00:17:14.839 --> 00:17:17.279
<v Speaker 4>Anywhere what would be the use of investing in?

346
00:17:17.319 --> 00:17:20.880
<v Speaker 3>It, well Said mark six ten three six three eleven. Ten,

347
00:17:20.920 --> 00:17:23.359
<v Speaker 3>mark here's a good question from a listener NAMED, jp

348
00:17:23.519 --> 00:17:25.920
<v Speaker 3>twenty five years. Old he's, Saying, hello my wife AND

349
00:17:25.960 --> 00:17:28.200
<v Speaker 3>i are in the process of saving up to buy

350
00:17:28.240 --> 00:17:29.680
<v Speaker 3>our first home in a few.

351
00:17:29.720 --> 00:17:33.240
<v Speaker 2>Years that's exciting, stuff he, Says we're curious to get there.

352
00:17:33.400 --> 00:17:36.279
<v Speaker 3>Faster so should we have the money in a high

353
00:17:36.319 --> 00:17:36.920
<v Speaker 3>yield savings?

354
00:17:36.960 --> 00:17:39.319
<v Speaker 2>Acount should we save the money there or should we

355
00:17:39.319 --> 00:17:42.680
<v Speaker 2>put the money into a regular brokerage account to potentially grow.

356
00:17:42.759 --> 00:17:44.720
<v Speaker 3>More we want to avoid taxes as.

357
00:17:44.640 --> 00:17:47.039
<v Speaker 2>Much as we, can so should we invest IN ETFs

358
00:17:47.079 --> 00:17:48.720
<v Speaker 2>index funds or can we use regular?

359
00:17:48.759 --> 00:17:50.160
<v Speaker 3>Stocks Boy, mark this is a good.

360
00:17:50.240 --> 00:17:53.799
<v Speaker 2>Question, obviously they want to get the highest down payment they,

361
00:17:53.880 --> 00:17:57.359
<v Speaker 2>can so should they try to go faster in investing

362
00:17:57.400 --> 00:17:59.039
<v Speaker 2>it or should they go maybe a little bit slower

363
00:17:59.039 --> 00:18:00.640
<v Speaker 2>but safer in the highields Savings what do you?

364
00:18:00.640 --> 00:18:07.240
<v Speaker 5>Think, no it's really. Not it's really. Not if you

365
00:18:07.400 --> 00:18:09.640
<v Speaker 5>have a goal that's a short term, goal like a

366
00:18:09.720 --> 00:18:12.440
<v Speaker 5>year to three, years that goal to be.

367
00:18:12.640 --> 00:18:15.799
<v Speaker 4>Met to protect yourself to be able to meet that

368
00:18:15.920 --> 00:18:19.599
<v Speaker 4>goal should be in A i keep it in a

369
00:18:19.640 --> 00:18:23.759
<v Speaker 4>low risk or no risk account such as an ensured

370
00:18:23.799 --> 00:18:26.920
<v Speaker 4>high yield savings account or something like, that and you

371
00:18:27.160 --> 00:18:29.319
<v Speaker 4>AND i know your head's, Going, oh But, MARK i

372
00:18:29.440 --> 00:18:31.920
<v Speaker 4>just SAID i wanted to be IN ets and SO

373
00:18:31.960 --> 00:18:34.359
<v Speaker 4>i could get more money In, well here's the. Deal

374
00:18:34.720 --> 00:18:37.279
<v Speaker 4>there's no guarantee, there and as a matter of, fact

375
00:18:37.359 --> 00:18:40.920
<v Speaker 4>where we're at in the, market there's probably just as

376
00:18:41.000 --> 00:18:44.920
<v Speaker 4>much possibility that you'll end up with less money than

377
00:18:44.960 --> 00:18:45.599
<v Speaker 4>you're starting.

378
00:18:45.680 --> 00:18:48.400
<v Speaker 5>With so you don't want that to. Happen it'd be.

379
00:18:48.400 --> 00:18:50.759
<v Speaker 4>Terrible to get two years down the road and it's

380
00:18:50.960 --> 00:18:53.400
<v Speaker 4>and you find the house you, want but the markets

381
00:18:53.400 --> 00:18:57.400
<v Speaker 4>are on a serious pullback or or, correction and you've

382
00:18:57.440 --> 00:19:01.559
<v Speaker 4>lost ten percent of down. Payment now you have to

383
00:19:01.599 --> 00:19:04.640
<v Speaker 4>go find a way to make up that extra ten

384
00:19:04.680 --> 00:19:07.480
<v Speaker 4>percent to get the house that you. Want short term

385
00:19:07.559 --> 00:19:12.319
<v Speaker 4>goals need to be in protected, accounts protecting against market

386
00:19:12.680 --> 00:19:13.960
<v Speaker 4>swings and things like that.

387
00:19:13.880 --> 00:19:14.440
<v Speaker 5>We just talked.

388
00:19:14.480 --> 00:19:18.839
<v Speaker 4>About we just talked about the roller coaster of the. Markets,

389
00:19:19.480 --> 00:19:22.319
<v Speaker 4>remember the markets are a. Jungle they're not. There They're

390
00:19:22.599 --> 00:19:25.880
<v Speaker 4>they're not like Disney. Land they're not a padded protected

391
00:19:26.279 --> 00:19:28.519
<v Speaker 4>place to go to have a little. Fun the markets

392
00:19:28.559 --> 00:19:33.039
<v Speaker 4>are there to steal you blind if they. Can lions

393
00:19:33.079 --> 00:19:35.400
<v Speaker 4>and tigers and bears are there to each you live

394
00:19:35.519 --> 00:19:37.759
<v Speaker 4>if they, Can so you don't want to go into

395
00:19:37.759 --> 00:19:41.440
<v Speaker 4>the markets with something that you need in the very near.

396
00:19:41.559 --> 00:19:44.839
<v Speaker 4>TERM i would not put this, money this house money

397
00:19:44.880 --> 00:19:48.000
<v Speaker 4>into individual stocks or ats or index.

398
00:19:48.079 --> 00:19:50.680
<v Speaker 5>Funds those those can be.

399
00:19:50.599 --> 00:19:54.359
<v Speaker 4>Great for longer term, investing but not for shorter term

400
00:19:54.400 --> 00:19:57.920
<v Speaker 4>goals where you're going to need that. Money AND i

401
00:19:57.960 --> 00:20:02.119
<v Speaker 4>wouldn't let the idea meant and something about taxes in, THERE.

402
00:20:03.480 --> 00:20:03.599
<v Speaker 2>I.

403
00:20:03.640 --> 00:20:07.440
<v Speaker 4>BELIEVE i wouldn't let worrying about taxes be a big.

404
00:20:07.480 --> 00:20:10.440
<v Speaker 4>Deal the taxes aren't a big. Deal the stock market has,

405
00:20:10.519 --> 00:20:14.680
<v Speaker 4>taxes the savings account has. Taxes don't let that drive

406
00:20:14.920 --> 00:20:18.960
<v Speaker 4>where you put the. Money, uh it's just a, percentage

407
00:20:19.000 --> 00:20:21.599
<v Speaker 4>that's all it. Is so when we go into investing

408
00:20:21.640 --> 00:20:25.839
<v Speaker 4>their savings or anything that the government will have their

409
00:20:25.839 --> 00:20:28.759
<v Speaker 4>fingers in. It we know that going, In so don't

410

00:20:46.839 --> 00:20:48.759
<v Speaker 4>go to being an.

00:20:48.759 --> 00:20:51.240
<v Speaker 5>Owner ownership is part of developing.

416
00:20:51.319 --> 00:20:54.359

420
00:21:06.319 --> 00:21:10.000
<v Speaker 3>House, mark that's, great you. KNOW i see In jp

421
00:21:10.319 --> 00:21:13.079
<v Speaker 3>a desire to grow this money as quickly as he.

422
00:21:13.160 --> 00:21:16.000
<v Speaker 3>Can but the growth that, DOESN'T i, mean the growth

423
00:21:16.039 --> 00:21:18.400
<v Speaker 3>can Come, mark to use kind of a term the

424
00:21:18.400 --> 00:21:20.920
<v Speaker 3>old fashioned, way where you are adding to.

425
00:21:20.960 --> 00:21:22.839
<v Speaker 2>It you are the one adding to. It you're not

426
00:21:22.880 --> 00:21:25.240
<v Speaker 2>relying on the markets going. Up you are the one

427
00:21:25.279 --> 00:21:27.359
<v Speaker 2>adding to it and making it. Grow and it's making

428
00:21:27.400 --> 00:21:29.319
<v Speaker 2>a little bit of interest in that high yield, savings

429
00:21:29.359 --> 00:21:31.839
<v Speaker 2>but the main bulk of the growth is you putting

430
00:21:31.839 --> 00:21:34.519
<v Speaker 2>that money, away filling up that mode as much as you,

431
00:21:34.559 --> 00:21:37.039
<v Speaker 2>can like we, like we talk about, Often, mark and

432
00:21:37.359 --> 00:21:39.519
<v Speaker 2>it seems to me like there's you, know there's those

433
00:21:39.519 --> 00:21:41.640
<v Speaker 2>two ways that we try to grow our. Money one

434
00:21:41.720 --> 00:21:43.839
<v Speaker 2>could be through the, markets the other is us doing

435
00:21:43.839 --> 00:21:46.640
<v Speaker 2>it ourselves and you doing it yourself just seems to

436
00:21:46.680 --> 00:21:47.079
<v Speaker 2>be the way to.

437
00:21:47.079 --> 00:21:49.160
<v Speaker 3>GO i totally, Agree, mark for those short term.

438
00:21:49.240 --> 00:21:52.079
<v Speaker 4>Things if this is a true, Goal if this is

439
00:21:52.119 --> 00:21:55.720
<v Speaker 4>a true, goal if this is for, real you really

440
00:21:55.960 --> 00:21:58.400
<v Speaker 4>want to be in a. House let's say in two,

441
00:21:58.480 --> 00:22:01.680
<v Speaker 4>years you have to figure out what you're willing to

442
00:22:01.680 --> 00:22:03.839
<v Speaker 4>pay for a. House, yeah and you have to figure

443
00:22:03.839 --> 00:22:06.640
<v Speaker 4>out what that down payment will. BE i would look into.

444
00:22:06.640 --> 00:22:09.200
<v Speaker 4>Mortgages i'd look into all sorts of mortgages so you

445
00:22:09.200 --> 00:22:13.480
<v Speaker 4>can determine and then put and then start saving one

446
00:22:13.559 --> 00:22:17.240
<v Speaker 4>twenty fourth of that a month if you, can or.

447
00:22:17.279 --> 00:22:20.640
<v Speaker 4>Whatever the balance has a one to twenty fourth of

448
00:22:20.720 --> 00:22:23.039
<v Speaker 4>that less the balance you already have type of. Stuff

449
00:22:23.799 --> 00:22:26.119
<v Speaker 4>if this isn't a true, goal if this is kind

450
00:22:26.160 --> 00:22:28.359
<v Speaker 4>of a hope or a dream and maybe.

451
00:22:28.079 --> 00:22:30.119

498
00:24:48.359 --> 00:24:53.359
<v Speaker 4>On? Mark, yeah you, Know, UH pas has really had

499
00:24:53.400 --> 00:24:55.599
<v Speaker 4>a little bit of a rough, time but, uh it's

500
00:24:55.599 --> 00:24:56.519
<v Speaker 4>a strong company.

501
00:24:56.599 --> 00:25:01.039
<v Speaker 5>Still, uh let's see what We're is it still a?

502
00:25:01.079 --> 00:25:03.480
<v Speaker 3>Buyer is it just a it's still a buy as

503
00:25:03.519 --> 00:25:04.519
<v Speaker 3>of right, Now, mark still.

504
00:25:04.559 --> 00:25:07.079
<v Speaker 6>By that's WHAT i thought about thirty four percent for

505
00:25:07.160 --> 00:25:09.039
<v Speaker 6>the past six. Months i'm not sure if that's what

506
00:25:09.079 --> 00:25:13.119
<v Speaker 6>they're concerned. About why would that CONCERN i don't, know

507
00:25:13.279 --> 00:25:15.319
<v Speaker 6>people get riled up about all kinds of.

508
00:25:15.359 --> 00:25:20.119
<v Speaker 5>Things you, know that seems. Silly, no you, know they

509
00:25:20.160 --> 00:25:23.359
<v Speaker 5>had their. STRENGTH i would NOT i would not panic on.

510
00:25:23.440 --> 00:25:27.480
<v Speaker 4>THIS i WOULDN'T i wouldn't put any more money into

511
00:25:27.559 --> 00:25:29.759
<v Speaker 4>it at this. Time BUT i would wait because there

512
00:25:29.839 --> 00:25:33.079
<v Speaker 4>is strength there AND i see it as a long term,

513
00:25:33.640 --> 00:25:39.319
<v Speaker 4>issue a long term, buy not, ah not a just

514
00:25:39.359 --> 00:25:42.559
<v Speaker 4>get in and out of. It because they pulled back

515
00:25:42.599 --> 00:25:49.039
<v Speaker 4>hard or. Whatnot they've gone through some private equity, stuff

516
00:25:49.119 --> 00:25:50.400
<v Speaker 4>and it's.

517
00:25:50.200 --> 00:25:51.079
<v Speaker 5>A little bit OF.

518
00:25:53.200 --> 00:25:54.920
<v Speaker 4>I don't know how best to explain. It i'd say

519
00:25:54.920 --> 00:25:57.119
<v Speaker 4>That i'm very. Comfortable here's the way to look at.

520
00:25:57.160 --> 00:26:00.119
<v Speaker 4>It if you're looking at the stock and you're going

521
00:26:00.160 --> 00:26:02.440
<v Speaker 4>through the, fundamentals and you're going through it all right,

522
00:26:02.480 --> 00:26:05.319
<v Speaker 4>now and and you look at it and you don't

523
00:26:05.359 --> 00:26:08.039
<v Speaker 4>own it, yet would you be looking at this as

524
00:26:08.039 --> 00:26:11.440
<v Speaker 4>a buy or a hold or a? SELL i, mean

525
00:26:11.480 --> 00:26:14.279
<v Speaker 4>would you look at it for the first. Time would you, say,

526
00:26:14.319 --> 00:26:17.119
<v Speaker 4>Hey i'd like to own that. Stock it's at a

527
00:26:17.240 --> 00:26:20.960
<v Speaker 4>reasonable price now and it's paying a decent. Dividend or

528
00:26:21.000 --> 00:26:23.839
<v Speaker 4>would you, Say i'm staying away from this this thing

529
00:26:24.319 --> 00:26:29.400
<v Speaker 4>it's fundamentally. Ugly, well it's not fundamentally. Ugly it actually

530
00:26:29.440 --> 00:26:32.279
<v Speaker 4>has some good numbers to. It So i'm saying it's

531
00:26:32.319 --> 00:26:34.759
<v Speaker 4>still by and we ought to stay.

532
00:26:34.759 --> 00:26:37.119
<v Speaker 6>There it's a good perspective, too looking at it. Fresh

533
00:26:37.279 --> 00:26:40.160
<v Speaker 6>what's it doing right now? Today WOULD i buy it?

534
00:26:40.200 --> 00:26:43.240
<v Speaker 6>Now that's that's really good exactly for. Sure good stuff

535
00:26:43.839 --> 00:26:46.079
<v Speaker 6>partners who are wondering about. Packs hopefully that can help

536
00:26:46.079 --> 00:26:46.799
<v Speaker 6>you out a little bit.

537
00:26:46.839 --> 00:26:50.200
<v Speaker 4>There that's after you stop the bleeding from the thirties.

538
00:26:53.079 --> 00:26:56.599
<v Speaker 2>Exactly right, Again, mark there that's the roller coaster right right.

539
00:26:56.640 --> 00:26:59.400
<v Speaker 2>There tually all, Right, Mark we had two questions here From.

540

<v Speaker 2>Jack he's eighty one years. Old faithful. Partner, jack we

541
00:27:01.720 --> 00:27:04.519
<v Speaker 2>appreciate your. Partnership first, Question, mark he's, Saying i've been

542
00:27:04.559 --> 00:27:07.119
<v Speaker 2>away from My fison portfolio tracker for a couple weeks,

543
00:27:07.119 --> 00:27:09.880
<v Speaker 2>now but WHEN i got into it earlier this, week

544
00:27:10.240 --> 00:27:12.240
<v Speaker 2>my stocks which we're in alphabetical order now or? Not

545
00:27:12.279 --> 00:27:15.359
<v Speaker 2>could you please explain? Why, MARK i can actually address

546
00:27:15.400 --> 00:27:17.319
<v Speaker 2>this For jack And. Jack i'm glad you brought this.

547
00:27:17.440 --> 00:27:20.000
<v Speaker 2>Up this is likely due to our new tagging. Feature

548
00:27:20.079 --> 00:27:21.880
<v Speaker 2>jack and so this is actually a very very good.

549
00:27:21.920 --> 00:27:24.640
<v Speaker 2>Thing but what happened is when you went into your,

550
00:27:24.680 --> 00:27:27.160
<v Speaker 2>portfolio you probably went into it after we made this.

551
00:27:27.279 --> 00:27:29.880
<v Speaker 2>Update so we now have a brand new update on

552
00:27:30.039 --> 00:27:33.160
<v Speaker 2>our portfolio tracker for our partners where you can now

553
00:27:33.839 --> 00:27:36.519
<v Speaker 2>tag your different. Holdings you can put them into different

554
00:27:36.759 --> 00:27:38.920
<v Speaker 2>types of, investments like if you have certain things in

555
00:27:38.960 --> 00:27:41.799
<v Speaker 2>a four oh ONE k versus in say your regular

556
00:27:41.880 --> 00:27:44.960
<v Speaker 2>brokerage account or your ROTH, ira you can now tag

557
00:27:45.000 --> 00:27:47.240
<v Speaker 2>them into those. Things it's very similar to our old

558
00:27:47.319 --> 00:27:48.519
<v Speaker 2>drag and drop feature that we.

559
00:27:48.559 --> 00:27:49.440
<v Speaker 3>Had but what.

560
00:27:49.359 --> 00:27:50.319
<v Speaker 5>Could, yeah you.

561
00:27:50.319 --> 00:27:54.160
<v Speaker 4>Could you could tag them as tax, deferred tax, free or,

562
00:27:54.359 --> 00:27:57.799
<v Speaker 4>taxable and you could put all your holdings tag each

563
00:27:57.799 --> 00:27:59.920
<v Speaker 4>of those, holdings or you could do it by. Account

564
00:28:00.119 --> 00:28:04.039
<v Speaker 4>it could be spouse's, account my, account kids. Account, yeah

565
00:28:04.079 --> 00:28:05.960
<v Speaker 4>you can do it any way that works for, you

566
00:28:06.039 --> 00:28:06.759
<v Speaker 4>which is really.

567
00:28:06.799 --> 00:28:07.079
<v Speaker 5>Cool.

568
00:28:07.200 --> 00:28:08.960
<v Speaker 3>Exactly it's a great new feature that we.

569
00:28:09.039 --> 00:28:11.480
<v Speaker 2>Have and so what probably, Happened jack is when you

570
00:28:11.519 --> 00:28:15.119
<v Speaker 2>went into, it they were they were now in the

571
00:28:15.240 --> 00:28:17.880
<v Speaker 2>order that they, are you, know tagged in it might

572
00:28:18.119 --> 00:28:19.799
<v Speaker 2>it was it was one of the different, orders, which

573
00:28:19.799 --> 00:28:22.079
<v Speaker 2>by the, way you can also actually still alphabetize them

574
00:28:22.079 --> 00:28:24.160
<v Speaker 2>too if you go onto The Portfolio tracker and just

575
00:28:24.240 --> 00:28:26.440
<v Speaker 2>hit that symbol button there you can if you click,

576
00:28:26.519 --> 00:28:29.480
<v Speaker 2>that it then alphabetizes them in order FROM a TO,

577
00:28:29.599 --> 00:28:30.920
<v Speaker 2>Z so you can still do that as.

578
00:28:30.920 --> 00:28:33.960
<v Speaker 5>Well, so, seth that was the in the. Update it

579
00:28:34.160 --> 00:28:34.880
<v Speaker 5>just rearranged.

580
00:28:34.960 --> 00:28:36.079
<v Speaker 3>Exactly that's exactly.

581
00:28:36.160 --> 00:28:38.039
<v Speaker 5>What, yeah sometimes that stuff.

582
00:28:38.240 --> 00:28:40.359
<v Speaker 3>Happens, yeah, absolutely SO.

583
00:28:40.359 --> 00:28:42.960
<v Speaker 5>I think didn't you send out an? Email Did?

<v Speaker 2>down to one twenty five a.

<v Speaker 5>Do?

609
00:29:37.519 --> 00:29:41.799
<v Speaker 4>Well it's On, JACK i maintain a hold On palleter

610
00:29:42.960 --> 00:29:46.240
<v Speaker 4>rather than sell simply because you, know just because the

611
00:29:46.279 --> 00:29:49.160
<v Speaker 4>stock is pulled back doesn't mean that it doesn't have

612
00:29:49.480 --> 00:29:53.359
<v Speaker 4>what it needs for long term. Growth for long term

613
00:29:54.039 --> 00:29:57.920
<v Speaker 4>to be a benefit to you in the long, term

614
00:29:57.920 --> 00:30:02.839
<v Speaker 4>the business fundamentals really remain. Strong let's, see first quarter

615
00:30:03.079 --> 00:30:08.079
<v Speaker 4>revenue grew eighty five. PERCENT us revenue more than. Doubled,

616
00:30:08.599 --> 00:30:11.279
<v Speaker 4>okay we see.

617
00:30:12.279 --> 00:30:14.960
<v Speaker 5>Wow paling to.

618
00:30:14.880 --> 00:30:17.759
<v Speaker 4>Our second quarter report is scheduled For august, Third so

619
00:30:18.680 --> 00:30:22.920
<v Speaker 4>if you can't, wait if you're really, concerned at least

620
00:30:22.960 --> 00:30:25.880
<v Speaker 4>wait Till august third to see what the report. Done

621
00:30:26.559 --> 00:30:29.319
<v Speaker 4>the main CONCERN i have with it is its valuation

622
00:30:29.440 --> 00:30:32.119
<v Speaker 4>at approximately one hundred and twenty three dollars per. Share

623
00:30:32.799 --> 00:30:35.839
<v Speaker 4>it's trading near one hundred and thirty times thirty nine

624
00:30:36.160 --> 00:30:40.079
<v Speaker 4>times trailing. Earnings NOW i usually look at the forward,

625
00:30:40.079 --> 00:30:43.000
<v Speaker 4>earnings but it helps to look at the trailing earns, too.

626
00:30:43.359 --> 00:30:48.079
<v Speaker 5>So you want to be careful with. That but the

627
00:30:48.160 --> 00:30:51.640
<v Speaker 5>other factor THAT i would take into this is your.

628
00:30:51.720 --> 00:30:53.759
<v Speaker 5>Age you mentioned that you're eighty.

629
00:30:53.839 --> 00:30:58.519
<v Speaker 4>One if you're leaving, this if this is part of your,

630
00:30:58.559 --> 00:31:02.400
<v Speaker 4>inheritance if that's your goal for, THIS i don't see

631
00:31:02.400 --> 00:31:04.799
<v Speaker 4>any reason not to maintain and hold it right.

632
00:31:04.839 --> 00:31:05.920
<v Speaker 5>Now if on the other.

633
00:31:06.000 --> 00:31:10.200
<v Speaker 4>Hand you need this money for, income you need the

634
00:31:10.240 --> 00:31:15.039
<v Speaker 4>money FOR uh to supplement your, lifestyle then maybe you

635
00:31:15.079 --> 00:31:20.400
<v Speaker 4>should be moving towards a less aggressive. Portfolio and if that's,

636
00:31:20.480 --> 00:31:23.880
<v Speaker 4>true then sell a portion of. It, now sell a,

637
00:31:23.920 --> 00:31:27.880
<v Speaker 4>portion you, know take take the next quarter to release

638
00:31:27.960 --> 00:31:30.880
<v Speaker 4>yourself from this and move it into more of a growth.

639
00:31:30.680 --> 00:31:33.440
<v Speaker 5>And income or income portfolio type of.

640
00:31:34.200 --> 00:31:39.640
<v Speaker 2>Allocation, awesome love that that's great. Stuff, jack appreciate those questions,

643
00:31:45.359 --> 00:31:48.480
<v Speaker 2>into the, schools such as With Crossroads Kids, club is

644
00:31:48.519 --> 00:31:50.000
<v Speaker 2>an anti communist.

645
00:31:50.160 --> 00:31:53.640
<v Speaker 3>Measure, Amen we're depending On, god, wow and not the.

646
00:31:53.680 --> 00:31:56.359
<v Speaker 3>Government And crossroads and anti.

647
00:31:56.480 --> 00:32:01.720
<v Speaker 4>Communist what a perspective THAT i haven't thought about on.

648
00:32:01.799 --> 00:32:05.240
<v Speaker 4>That you, know getting the gospel anytime we get The gospel,

649
00:32:05.279 --> 00:32:11.640
<v Speaker 4>out it's anti, communist isn't? It because communism is Anti.

650
00:32:11.680 --> 00:32:17.640
<v Speaker 4>God So christianity is anti. Communism it PRETTY i know

651
00:32:17.680 --> 00:32:21.480
<v Speaker 4>a lot of people, say, Well christianity really doesn't have

652
00:32:21.720 --> 00:32:30.839
<v Speaker 4>a temporal, structure societal structure behind, It and that's. True you,

653
00:32:30.880 --> 00:32:33.319
<v Speaker 4>know we can Be christians In, china we can Be

654
00:32:33.440 --> 00:32:37.559
<v Speaker 4>christians In, america we can Be christians In. Iran the

655
00:32:37.680 --> 00:32:41.880
<v Speaker 4>difference is the different the different, governments the way they

656
00:32:41.960 --> 00:32:42.680
<v Speaker 4>allow you.

657
00:32:42.720 --> 00:32:44.559
<v Speaker 5>To to embrace your.

658
00:32:44.559 --> 00:32:50.559
<v Speaker 4>Faith but at the same Time christ came, under he

659
00:32:50.599 --> 00:32:55.200
<v Speaker 4>came into a society and Brought grayson under a society

660
00:32:55.319 --> 00:32:57.519
<v Speaker 4>that persecuted him even onto.

661
00:32:57.559 --> 00:32:59.839
<v Speaker 5>Death so even though.

662
00:33:00.119 --> 00:33:06.559
<v Speaker 4>Even though we're not saying That christianity is a, Republican

663
00:33:06.960 --> 00:33:14.359
<v Speaker 4>republican OR, usa what we are saying is That god is,

664
00:33:14.480 --> 00:33:18.160
<v Speaker 4>love and those governments that lean more towards love than

665
00:33:18.240 --> 00:33:22.200
<v Speaker 4>not are more in line With god's principles of, love

666
00:33:22.359 --> 00:33:26.720
<v Speaker 4>Of god's principles of, grace Of god's principle of, justice

667
00:33:27.000 --> 00:33:28.880
<v Speaker 4>And god's principle of.

668
00:33:28.920 --> 00:33:33.079
<v Speaker 5>Salvation so we by bringing The.

669
00:33:33.039 --> 00:33:36.559
<v Speaker 4>Gospel to the, schools we actually are bringing people into

670
00:33:36.599 --> 00:33:39.640
<v Speaker 4>a relationship with The One True, god and that will

671
00:33:39.680 --> 00:33:43.000
<v Speaker 4>strengthen them no matter what government they end up.

672
00:33:43.119 --> 00:33:43.359
<v Speaker 5>Under.

673
00:33:44.519 --> 00:33:47.119
<v Speaker 2>Amen you, Know, MARK i think about this in the

674
00:33:47.319 --> 00:33:51.440
<v Speaker 2>inverse with that as. Well communism in and of itself

675
00:33:52.079 --> 00:33:53.039
<v Speaker 2>is it's not.

676
00:33:53.039 --> 00:33:55.839
<v Speaker 3>Just a political philosophy or social. Philosophy it's very much.

677
00:33:55.880 --> 00:33:58.799
<v Speaker 3>Religious it's a worship of the. Government so it is

678
00:33:58.839 --> 00:34:01.079
<v Speaker 3>in that sense Anti christian. Absolutely, WELL i.

679

<v Speaker 6>he was very critical of, socialism and he, said is

681
00:34:08.199 --> 00:34:11.480
<v Speaker 6>before all things the atheistic, question the question of The

682
00:34:11.559 --> 00:34:14.800
<v Speaker 6>tower Of babel built Without, god not to mount to

683

688
00:34:27.920 --> 00:34:30.239
<v Speaker 4>many cures that are needed in this, world and we

689
00:34:30.320 --> 00:34:33.440
<v Speaker 4>look to, men we look to, governments we look to,

690
00:34:33.599 --> 00:34:37.239
<v Speaker 4>organizations but the biggest cure we could have is getting

691
00:34:37.239 --> 00:34:40.480
<v Speaker 4>The gospel, out because the more people who embrace the

692
00:34:40.519 --> 00:34:43.760
<v Speaker 4>truth About Jesus, christ how he died on the cross

693
00:34:43.760 --> 00:34:46.400
<v Speaker 4>for our sin and rose, again and how we have

694
00:34:47.119 --> 00:34:50.199
<v Speaker 4>everlasting life because of that and The Holy spirit in our,

695
00:34:50.239 --> 00:34:54.519
<v Speaker 4>life that is the answer to. Everything the more people

696
00:34:54.519 --> 00:34:57.639
<v Speaker 4>who come To, christ the better and the better this

697
00:34:57.679 --> 00:35:00.400
<v Speaker 4>world will. Be and at some Time he will turn

698
00:35:00.519 --> 00:35:03.360

<v Speaker 4>to run away. From it it has a its what

757
00:38:00.360 --> 00:38:02.719
<v Speaker 4>it needs to be a long. Term investment that's the

758
00:38:02.760 --> 00:38:03.480
<v Speaker 4>bottom line. On.

<v Speaker 2>It awesome daryl's asking a Similar question Mark in Texas.

760
00:38:06.599 --> 00:38:09.239
<v Speaker 2>About palenteer since earnings are coming, up soon as, you

761
00:38:09.320 --> 00:38:12.119
<v Speaker 2>mentioned would it be prudent to place a stop loss

762
00:38:12.159 --> 00:38:14.840
<v Speaker 2>in case earnings are bad but you still have the

763
00:38:14.840 --> 00:38:17.039
<v Speaker 2>holding off earnings, are positive or do you play with,

764
00:38:17.119 --> 00:38:19.679
<v Speaker 2>covered calls. ET cetera i know it's getting into a

765
00:38:19.679 --> 00:38:21.320
<v Speaker 2>little bit of the weeds of some of the tools

766
00:38:21.320 --> 00:38:23.079
<v Speaker 2>of investing that, We, have mark but what would you

767
00:38:23.079 --> 00:38:23.920
<v Speaker 2>Say to, Daryl.

768
00:38:23.679 --> 00:38:29.559
<v Speaker 4>There darryl stop losses can be a good tool to

769
00:38:29.679 --> 00:38:30.360
<v Speaker 4>use if.

770
00:38:30.519 --> 00:38:32.480
<v Speaker 5>Used wisely you have to stay on top.

771
00:38:32.519 --> 00:38:35.360
<v Speaker 4>Of them, but remember if this is a stock you

772
00:38:35.400 --> 00:38:38.519
<v Speaker 4>want for the, long term you could if you put

773
00:38:38.559 --> 00:38:40.519
<v Speaker 4>a stop loss on it and it has a, bad

774
00:38:40.599 --> 00:38:43.239
<v Speaker 4>day you could be stopped out. Of it do you

775
00:38:43.280 --> 00:38:45.760
<v Speaker 4>want to have to rebuy it in in a day

776
00:38:45.880 --> 00:38:47.679
<v Speaker 4>or two or a week or, a month when you

777
00:38:47.719 --> 00:38:49.079
<v Speaker 4>start seeing a trend change.

778
00:38:49.079 --> 00:38:50.559
<v Speaker 5>On it there's nothing wrong.

779
00:38:50.599 --> 00:38:54.920
<v Speaker 4>With that but, in general we're trying to make portfolios

780
00:38:55.280 --> 00:38:57.480
<v Speaker 4>manageable to where you don't have to. Live it if

781
00:38:57.519 --> 00:38:59.920
<v Speaker 4>you're going into your computer every day and you're working on,

782
00:39:00.119 --> 00:39:02.239
<v Speaker 4>your portfolio stop losses can.

783
00:39:02.280 --> 00:39:03.440
<v Speaker 5>BE useful i.

784
00:39:03.480 --> 00:39:07.400
<v Speaker 4>Used to use THEM when i managed portfolios millions upon millions,

785
00:39:07.440 --> 00:39:11.679
<v Speaker 4>of DOLLARS and i would use. Stop losses but ONE

786
00:39:11.760 --> 00:39:14.800
<v Speaker 4>year i got stopped out of so many positions just

787
00:39:14.960 --> 00:39:15.920
<v Speaker 4>on one day.

788
00:39:15.760 --> 00:39:18.320
<v Speaker 5>Dips crazy dips that HAPPENED that.

789
00:39:18.440 --> 00:39:21.440
<v Speaker 4>I decided it. Wasn't worth it wasn't worth the energy to.

790
00:39:21.480 --> 00:39:26.320
<v Speaker 4>Do it trailing, stop losses if you're familiar. With those what,

791
00:39:26.440 --> 00:39:29.440
<v Speaker 4>happens is let's say we're on a positive trim with.

792
00:39:29.480 --> 00:39:32.079
<v Speaker 4>A stock as a stock's, going up maybe it gets

793
00:39:32.119 --> 00:39:35.960
<v Speaker 4>above above an area where you're comfortable with the price and.

794
00:39:36.039 --> 00:39:38.360
<v Speaker 4>Keeps going you could put a trailing stop loss so

795
00:39:38.400 --> 00:39:41.079
<v Speaker 4>that if it does come down a, certain percentage it.

796
00:39:41.199 --> 00:39:45.480
<v Speaker 4>Sells off problem with, that is if there's some meme

797
00:39:45.599 --> 00:39:49.599
<v Speaker 4>stock action on that or some craziness, goes on it

798
00:39:49.639 --> 00:39:52.440
<v Speaker 4>could drop further than you wanted. To drop before it,

799
00:39:52.559 --> 00:39:55.360
<v Speaker 4>sells off so you could sell it could sell off

800
00:39:55.400 --> 00:39:58.599
<v Speaker 4>a lot lower than you expected even though your trigger.

801
00:39:58.679 --> 00:40:01.440
<v Speaker 4>Was here it may not sell off, to here so

802
00:40:01.800 --> 00:40:02.719
<v Speaker 4>you got to be careful.

803
00:40:02.719 --> 00:40:03.039
<v Speaker 5>With them.

804
00:40:03.039 --> 00:40:06.199
<v Speaker 4>That's all stop losses can be a good idea in,

805
00:40:06.239 --> 00:40:09.559
<v Speaker 4>many cases but it's a good idea for those who

806
00:40:09.679 --> 00:40:13.599
<v Speaker 4>want to be looking at their portfolio. The time for long,

807
00:40:13.719 --> 00:40:16.119
<v Speaker 4>term investors it's not that big. A deal if the

808
00:40:16.199 --> 00:40:19.440
<v Speaker 4>company has a financial issues steal and it has the

809
00:40:19.480 --> 00:40:22.760
<v Speaker 4>potential still, built in no reason not to just ride it.

810
00:40:22.800 --> 00:40:24.320
<v Speaker 5>On, through yeah.

811
00:40:24.360 --> 00:40:24.559
<v Speaker 3>That's.

816
00:40:38.599 --> 00:40:41.559
<v Speaker 2>perfection except you're looking for it in the wrong places

817
00:40:41.599 --> 00:40:41.840
<v Speaker 2>and with the.

818
00:40:41.920 --> 00:40:42.119
<v Speaker 4>Wrong.

00:41:02.840 --> 00:41:03.360
<v Speaker 5>What you just.

827
00:41:03.440 --> 00:41:08.320
<v Speaker 4>SAID there i don't believe socialism's quest TO recreating i

828
00:41:08.400 --> 00:41:12.360
<v Speaker 4>think it's a quest for elitists to gain control over

829
00:41:12.400 --> 00:41:16.760
<v Speaker 4>the masses and enslave the masses and give them, just

830
00:41:16.920 --> 00:41:20.280
<v Speaker 4>enough just enough so that they stop complaining or they,

831
00:41:20.320 --> 00:41:23.679
<v Speaker 4>don't riot just enough so that they can, work hard

832
00:41:23.880 --> 00:41:26.960
<v Speaker 4>just enough so they can so they.

833
00:41:27.000 --> 00:41:30.400
<v Speaker 5>Can create socialism isn't a. Fair society neither.

834
00:41:30.480 --> 00:41:35.760
<v Speaker 4>Is communism it's elitist reigning control over the rest of

835
00:41:35.880 --> 00:41:39.239
<v Speaker 4>society and telling the rest of society be happy with

836
00:41:39.360 --> 00:41:42.519
<v Speaker 4>air conditioning only three hours out of, the day be

837
00:41:42.639 --> 00:41:46.159
<v Speaker 4>happy with electricity only twenty hours out of, the day

838
00:41:46.440 --> 00:41:49.679
<v Speaker 4>be happy with. These, things meanwhile the elitists live in

839
00:41:50.000 --> 00:41:54.280
<v Speaker 4>giant houses with air conditioning running and servants running around

840
00:41:54.360 --> 00:41:56.559
<v Speaker 4>and eating the best of the food and doing all

841
00:41:56.599 --> 00:42:00.239
<v Speaker 4>the all the things you don't see, the socialists, the

842
00:42:00.360 --> 00:42:05.280
<v Speaker 4>leads those, running socialism giving up anything while the rest

843
00:42:05.280 --> 00:42:08.639
<v Speaker 4>of society does to supply them what they need and

844
00:42:08.679 --> 00:42:12.639
<v Speaker 4>to work for for, petty wages instead of giving you

845
00:42:12.639 --> 00:42:14.199
<v Speaker 4>the opportunity to rise.

846
00:42:14.239 --> 00:42:14.760
<v Speaker 5>ABOVE that.

847
00:42:15.559 --> 00:42:18.239
<v Speaker 4>I disagree i don't believe it's a quest to re

848
00:42:18.400 --> 00:42:21.440
<v Speaker 4>create It, MARK eden i think it's a quest to.

849
00:42:21.599 --> 00:42:24.920
<v Speaker 6>Dominate, people well there's the quest of what it is

850
00:42:25.000 --> 00:42:26.400
<v Speaker 6>in practice and what it is.

851
00:42:26.480 --> 00:42:29.079
<v Speaker 3>In theory it's it's what is.

852
00:42:29.119 --> 00:42:32.679
<v Speaker 2>Falsely promised, is yes but what it, Actually, is mark

853
00:42:32.760 --> 00:42:35.320
<v Speaker 2>is exactly what you said is it's elites just. Running

854
00:42:35.320 --> 00:42:38.440
<v Speaker 2>everything it's how they how they fool so many, people

855
00:42:38.480 --> 00:42:41.719
<v Speaker 2>though is, they, promise hey if you make, it free

856
00:42:42.000 --> 00:42:44.400
<v Speaker 2>it'll be, all free it'll. Be utopia they. Never, deliver

857
00:42:44.760 --> 00:42:45.119
<v Speaker 2>right we.

858
00:42:45.119 --> 00:42:49.960
<v Speaker 4>Weren't created we weren't created to live on a little bit,

859
00:42:50.159 --> 00:42:53.800
<v Speaker 4>or nothing or or to just go only work, so

860
00:42:54.039 --> 00:42:57.920
<v Speaker 4>much or to be, you know when you pay people to,

861
00:42:58.000 --> 00:43:02.079
<v Speaker 4>be unproductive they believe. They're unproductive if you pay people to,

862
00:43:02.119 --> 00:43:05.679
<v Speaker 4>be worthless they start believing. They're worthless if you pay

863
00:43:05.760 --> 00:43:10.880
<v Speaker 4>people to, sit still they'll they'll eventually never. Move again

864
00:43:11.159 --> 00:43:15.559
<v Speaker 4>what happens with socialism and and uh with with communism

865
00:43:15.880 --> 00:43:19.800
<v Speaker 4>is they just give you enough so that you have

866

868
00:43:28.280 --> 00:43:32.559

871
00:43:42.280 --> 00:43:46.000
<v Speaker 4>they all had hope in Freedom. In christ so on the,

872
00:43:46.039 --> 00:43:48.920
<v Speaker 4>one side on the, other side they had. No hope they,

873
00:43:48.960 --> 00:43:54.039
<v Speaker 4>felt useless they. Were depressed it, was ugliness it, was dark.

00:43:54.280 --> 00:43:58.119
<v Speaker 6>YOU, Know, I mark i think you were deceived by

875
00:43:58.159 --> 00:44:00.480
<v Speaker 6>the lives of, the bourgeoisie and you might have to

876
00:44:00.559 --> 00:44:10.159
<v Speaker 6>be taken down at the Coming as sam, capitalist lies, capitalist, lies,

877
00:44:10.280 --> 00:44:13.800
<v Speaker 6>right uh and you never. See people why don't we

878
00:44:13.920 --> 00:44:18.280
<v Speaker 6>have mass Exodus from america to all these communists and

879
00:44:18.320 --> 00:44:20.119
<v Speaker 6>socialist countries that are.

880
00:44:20.199 --> 00:44:21.760
<v Speaker 5>Running around why don't we have.

881
00:44:21.880 --> 00:44:26.079
<v Speaker 4>That happening why even the people who are here illegally.

882
00:44:26.480 --> 00:44:30.239
<v Speaker 4>Won't leave they'd rather stay here illegally than to go

883
00:44:30.320 --> 00:44:35.360
<v Speaker 4>back to their socialists or. Communist countries why because you lose,

884
00:44:35.480 --> 00:44:38.119
<v Speaker 4>all Hope because god is not welcome in.

885
00:44:38.159 --> 00:44:39.760
<v Speaker 5>Those places because the.

886
00:44:39.679 --> 00:44:43.000
<v Speaker 4>Truth that we were created to, be producductive and when we,

887
00:44:43.079 --> 00:44:46.039
<v Speaker 4>are productive we feel the joy Of the lord, on us,

888
00:44:46.400 --> 00:44:51.239
<v Speaker 4>in us, on us. Around us we just embrace the

<v Speaker 4>joy and peace Of the lord when we're as Productive

890
00:44:54.239 --> 00:44:58.159
<v Speaker 4>as he has created us. To be the more we

891
00:44:58.199 --> 00:45:02.480
<v Speaker 4>walk in those, good works the more we labor in those,

892
00:45:02.519 --> 00:45:05.039
<v Speaker 4>good works the more we feel his joy and. His

893
00:45:05.199 --> 00:45:08.440
<v Speaker 4>peace we weren't made to sit still and do the

894
00:45:08.519 --> 00:45:11.480
<v Speaker 4>least you can do so that a handful of elitists

895
00:45:11.960 --> 00:45:12.440
<v Speaker 4>can live.

896
00:45:12.559 --> 00:45:14.880
<v Speaker 5>Like kings that's not the way we.

897
00:45:14.880 --> 00:45:17.519
<v Speaker 4>Were, made yes there will, be Kings and god does

898
00:45:17.559 --> 00:45:20.920
<v Speaker 4>put him on, the Throne but he has given us something,

899
00:45:21.199 --> 00:45:24.880
<v Speaker 4>very special and that's the ability to realize the Potential

900
00:45:24.960 --> 00:45:27.400
<v Speaker 4>that he created. In us and in, doing so we

901
00:45:27.519 --> 00:45:31.119
<v Speaker 4>don't just, glorify him but we feel that glory in

902
00:45:31.159 --> 00:45:34.280
<v Speaker 4>ourselves and we get to. Participate it it's a. Wonderful

903
00:45:34.400 --> 00:45:38.239
