Are you home right now. No i'm i'm in my office. I'm looking brighter. Beautiful garden here. And it's recent to get quite spring-like. I planted some roses hearing little memorial garden. And they're coming up and we've got the israelis comedians adopt dose of common gone. That's just beautiful. You don't see many failures in berkshire county massachusetts. I think the weather is too severe in the winter for them. To survive is my guest. Because i grew up. I in maryland and then by way of florida in new york and my mother was very much into his alia's and magnolia trees which are gorgeous when they're blooming but look out when they lose. Those pedals is worse than leaves in the in the fall. You never get to pick them all up. And they are ruling daily but magnolia trees and zelaya's don't seem to be prevalent in new england and i'm guessing it's just too cold climate for them but It's one of my favorite favorites azaleas. And they come in such beautiful colors and varieties. When you say you planted roses to you mean you delegated that job to somebody. Are you actually out there with a shovel. I actually got there with a shovel to know exactly whether you were going to. Some of these things are grew up to five feet wide so there needs to be tons of exactly the right place. So yeah i i did a lot self. Can i tell you a funny azalea story. We had cocker spaniels. When i was most of my growing up years prior to that we had great danes very different size of dog and we had a dog named brandy and he was kind of a reddish blond color almost ginger like irish hair.

Wonderful margaret. Wanna talk about a few things. Firstly how many accommodations are there. We have one hundred eighty one roofs and are any of them sweets of Fifteen of those one hundred and eighty one are suites so varying from somewhat of a one bedroom to to To your larger Rooms suites with the larger living areas dining areas. And why can't you tell us about the amenities features and benefits related to the accommodations themselves. So when we redesigned the hotel the footprint of the rooms themselves during our renovation period a few years back we laid it out with with. What is the traveler of today and tomorrow going to to expect so We went for a residential feel and so everywhere from the front door where there is a doorbell But that that doorbell and that front door really represents a couple of things. There's a the privacy light there so no more door hangers. There's a service now. Light there so Just trying to make it feel a little residential you walk into an entry way rather than directly into say a bedroom area And that's a vast majority of the rooms Given the historic nature of the the hotel physical building There is some nuances to to all of the rooms.

June twenty twenty one and It's a combination of what he has been learning for his family business. That was started by his grandfather. And what he's learned in the biz this what. He's learned in the industry of manufacturing products in plastic and what he has been learning about making plastic composed able so it will break down be recyclable. Be reusable and not just be a glut on the planet and in doing that as visited a lot of places and we were just talking in the last segment about his visit to hawaii To the and the big island of hawaii and I was mentioning about the graffiti along the roadway when the men were building the road from the airport that leads along parallel to the ocean and on the right side it's just fields and fields of black lava laying there for however long and then on the left side is where all vow tells and those are lush green because the landscapers at the hotels have planted evidence of those trees shrubs bushes and flowers and The men wanted to in there. You know to break the boredom of building this endless road They would take white stones and do things like make a heart shape and put an you know. Mike loves lisa that kind of thing they would do. Their graffiti side of the road. Using white rocks on top of the black lava is very cool. But if you went to hilo national park you can actually stand in the same spots. Wear a report louis. Stevenson the author. Who lived in the hawaiian islands in the pacific for so long And a their iraq's be like boulders with with brass plaques engraved with quotations of their comments about what it was like standing there Which were lifted from literature that they wrote also there's one mark twain imagine in the eighteen hundreds which is when they would have been going Imagine a mark twain from his book I think it was from his book. Innocence abroad His commentary about standing in the spot and looking out at the crater. And you're looking at the same thing i mean. That's the ultimate in sustainability that you know you're looking at a scene that looks identical to a hundred two hundred three hundred or more years ago and so we have some obligation There is a whole sector of the travel industry devoted to sustainability and an organization called towards them cares that not only dives in by spearheading fundraising. When there's a soon nami or a hurricane or an earthquake in some touristic destination and just about every destination has something of touristic value so the always raising money to help at end. Send people You know people general managers of oh tells and people that work in the travel industry will take time off from their work and fly to a destination to pitch in you know after. Some colossal messes happened in that destination to help bring things back to normal.

So we don't become one big garbage dump We've got about half a minute. Do you have some closing message. You'd like to share with our listeners would so Packaging is not going away.

"It's travel with stephanie abrams. I am delighted to have mix on the line with me He is the man in the no at cross sound ferry service which runs ferries between southern connecticut the shoreline area of connecticut that abuts the long island sound and long island. And i have to tell you If you're in new england that you want ahead southward. It's a really lovely way to avoid that whole southern connecticut new york city traffic highly trafficked area. It isn't even the driving around so much as it is getting stuck in traffic and you can. Almost i mean i've was. I've lived in the northeast corridor. Most of my life Except for probably eight years of my life i have lived in the northeast and split in the north between new york and massachusetts and it isn't even the driving. That's the author. It's when you get somewhere and you might as well just turn the engine off considered just sitting going nowhere and it's so frustrating so to be able to you know continue a trip and give yourself you know more choices as to how do you navigate from one end to the other and of course if you wanna make time and you're going to get on one of the highways that goes east east west on long island do it between ten. Am and three pm. So you're avoiding rush hour on long island and I lived on the island. A big chunk of my life. So i know from whence i speak. After three o'clock you've got the school's getting out you've got some big industry that closes between three and four in the afternoon because they come in early in the morning so that midday is when you want to get on the road and you'll eliminate all kinds of traffic but i do want to encourage you to take advantage of the sights and the sounds that long island has to offer both in landscapes and seascapes and venues that just check everything out people. Check it out. Keep your distance where you mask or latex. Gloves have your disinfectant gel in your pocket. do you have to do wash. Your hands often pay attention. Pay attention and and you can do this and pay attention to who. Where are you staying. And who are you giving your business to. How are they maintaining cleanliness. So stan Let's go back to that. How are you maintaining cleanliness. Is there a routine between you mentioned. You've got a you know a bundle of Crossings of long island sound every day. How are you keeping the boats sanitized. So so the boats are are approximately a half hour. Give or take you know our ten minutes During each during his trip so the vote on lows after unloads. We've got this time. So the crew instantly goes around in and cleans everything The protocol has obviously increased significantly since since coded. So everything is cleaned. Wipe down every every doorknobs. Every it's it's it's very intense before we even load one person onto the boat We'd increase number of hand sanitizing stations. We had we had hint. Santa hand sanitizers on board. We think we tripled the number of hand sanitizers on board. We also have Dispensers for cleansing wipes on board for passengers that wanna white surfaces down themselves prior to sitting so we have those on their on their as well We're we've laxed off booth and seats to ensure social distancing on board Obviously i mentioned previously about mass thing in your vehicle. And then the the most recent initiative we undertook was we did research in the market on these these air purifying systems and we found a couple of systems that that fit our needs and And they've been they've been proven to They've been proven to to viruses and put him into the hvac systems on the boats and they they essentially.

I actually got to do a four hour in person interview it if you can imagine a time where such a thing was actually physically possible. If i try really hard. I think i can but it is pretty unmasked more right now right. It feels like a completely different life but luckily at least digitally we get to talk with colin goddard christian heine chris brown and stephanie abrams. All of whom are these great gun. Violence prevention advocates and in particular colin christian and stephan have something in common but i think our listeners may not expect. And you're not gonna tell us. I am absolutely not gonna tell you they have to listen. How dare i jerk. Yes we're going to their butt together. Just some hands were discussing the passage of hr eight and fourteen forty six in the us house of representatives. And we're gonna tackle questions like what are these bills. What do they do. And what is even the point of a background check anyway. Yeah and i know. Some of our listeners are with from day one and so they may be like. Oh i totally know about all these bills and background checks which is awesome. But i think with this episode even if you know all the background checks needs bills it's still going to be really eliminating compensation so definitely station. Hi everyone on. Chris brown on the president's of brady. Hey everyone my name. is stephanie. Abrams i am the executive council member of team enough as well as a a worker debris offices the team fellow when i'm also the national chapter coordinator years well so i wear a lot hats team enough but i love the voice of the youth and i think it's very important especially right now under current political climate ear.

Thank you so much for all. You've done any work. Amazing job now to and water access right so it's cool really cool job. I feel like in a lot of ways. Similar to engaging a constituency in america that feels like. They've been ignored that their voices aren't being heard. And you know working alongside them to fight to make change. So it's in a of ways very similar to the work at brady and take a lot of the learnings and experiences in carrying it forward and look at the whole workout station in there. Is that a peleton. You gotta pelivan peleton brutal used a mirror now mayor much come see me. I got the. Let's get peleton. Let's go man. You're you're peddling these things. Let's all right.

You're peleton pusher and it's concerning ballots today so. Let's talking about biking talking about bills. Chris just to start us off. Can you even break down at a very basic level would brady background. Check is sure so the radi background check system was put into effect about twenty seven years ago and a few days and change and when it was i adopted it was in response to actually the nineteen sixty eight gun control act which required background checks to be conducted so this is something that already was part of the federal law that there is no mechanism to ensure that there was real recordkeeping or even technology to make sure that could happen in the brady law. Put into effect this apparatus or sought to to ensure that every federally licensed firearms dealer or f. f. l. was required by law to conduct a background check and use technology that was adopted by the government to conduct that check and not just requires a look at a database that includes records criminal history at cetera about prohibited

We could stop the sense right because the year from hell is behind us and we can only hope that things get easier better and we all recover. Because i don't think there is any industry that hasn't been negatively impacted except maybe for some of the big online retailers who are prospering amazingly. Well and thank god for them. Because i don't know how we would have gotten groceries into our house so we rented in county antrim northern ireland while we got maroon there because we couldn't get a booking time slot at the local supermarket for delivery and once we went into that house. We weren't coming out except to go into the gorgeous garden and the beautiful walled courtyard and get in our rental car. And take a ride around and you know not interface with people but just enjoy the scenery and the historic places. And oh my gosh. As i said earlier. I wouldn't give away that five months for anything in the world. It was glorious. And i wouldn't feel the same way if either my husband or myself gotten sick. So managing to stay healthy is optimum. That's number one and zane kirby. The president and ceo of esta the american society of travel advisers and organization. That years ago when it was called the american side of travel agents Not only was. I an active member but i was active to the point of serving on Acts mo the ask. The council of travel marketing organizations that was made up of leaders in the travel industry. And those of you and travel who have have longevity will remember I was on that council. When earlene causey was president of esta and mike spinelli was there representing action. Six and Space and leisure time was a member. Before i guess was after it was just called space. Then and every franchise company of travel agencies. Every consortium in the travel industry they were all members and there were about twenty of us around the table that represented something like thirty thousand or more thirty. Five thousand travel agents Between us or travel agencies maybe it was a remarkable time not without its challenges and the travel industry has always reacted when there are economic challenges. Political challenges natural disasters man made disasters. illnesses hijackings and skyjackings. None of that was no. I mean it goes back to my earliest days in the travel industry we is. I described it a week or so ago. Being in the travel industry is like having labor pains there are moments of great joy followed by moments of seriously painful contractions and in spite of that if you talk to people who complain about the difficulties of being in the travel industry and you ask them so you're gonna leave. The answer is generally a swift. Hell no because it's in your blood and you're going nowhere and you understand it. And it's all about optimism thinking outside not just the box but the whole closet being creative persevering being mystic and being smart not just working hard working smart so what is it that the folks at asked are doing in conjunction with your membership to be smart on behalf of travelers and the travel industry and the.

"Welcome to travel with stephanie. Abrams and any year. I can remember and i guess that's because i sort of feel like the back wheels trying to keep up with the front wheels. Normally we used to say pretty much everything. The travel industry changed then. It went to weekly daily then. It went to hourly down to nano seconds every nanoseconds. Something else happens affecting the travel industry and at this point a preponderance of it drizzling off of this covid nineteen. That's followed us into twenty twenty one twenty twenty being the year that we'd like to forget about certainly overcome. And although i have to tell you the five months. We were marooned in ireland. I wouldn't give back for all the money in the world. That was an amazing amazing experience. And it brings me to something. I'm hoping to tackle early on with our very wonderful guest. This our guest. We had on the air with us either in june or july while we were still in ireland maroon unable to get home. And that's zane kirby He's the ceo. I think that's his title. Maybe it's president. I'll have to ask again. He's the head honcho The executive administrative directing type at the top of the american society of travel advisers a prestigious organization that lobbies on behalf of the travel industry which truly needs a lobby because far too often people making decisions as they relate to travel. Don't know the first thing about the effect of their decisions on the travel industry or the people who are travelers and one of the reasons. I've invited saying kirby on today is to tackle the question i've been dealing with the last few weeks. I want you to know that. This interview is being recorded Around christmas new years time. So you're hearing it after the new year because we have so many interviews already scheduled that we had to get in and saying is being the busy man he is. We had a tough time matching our schedule with his to find the appropriate spot but we nailed them today. People and you're really in for the real information. I've been really troubled about something and the thing i've been troubled about. Is that just before thanksgiving someone whose name completely escapes me. Didn't recognize the fellow on tv. Didn't catch his name flash across the screen. He's obviously in some position of power. And i don't know if he's in medicine or somewhere in. Us government but his remark was simple words. Not the two words you thinking of. By the way the two words were don't travel it might as well be the two words you were thinking of because you know. I am the biggest coward on the face of the earth. You know if you've listened more than once you know. I don't go anywhere. I might not come back the same or better. I enjoy living. I enjoy life. I am not a risk taker. But it seems to me. You have to use the proper information. And you're good hor sense to figure out what's real and what's not real what's right and what's not right and i really think. The travel industry was done a disservice especially when there are hotels and car rental companies and museums and attractions of all kinds. That are going to unbelievable. Lengths to sanitize deep clean deep scrawled. Make the environment safe for the staff and the people who visit there and just say don't travel. I just seemed to me the message should have been duncan into crowds. Don't get close to people. Don't inhale and exhale the same air that the guy next to you is inhaling an extra link make sure there is nobody next to you and we're very lucky the. Us is huge while other people. Don't want our passport. The moment they're busting for it actually but good census telling them don't invite americans at this moment into other countries but you can travel in your own car to wonderful places or rent a car from place. You have confidence in that. They're doing the job to sanitize it between renters and go to all the wonderful outdoorsy places staying in wonderful hotels and using the help of travel advisors in the know who are doing that research and especially those that are asked the members getting the kind of information that guides them into. Who's doing an above average job at keeping their staff and their guests. Their visitors their customer safe. I think that should have been the story. Not don't travel. I couldn't agree more stephanie. So i wanna thank you zane kirby for joining us. Let's get right into it. Talk to me. What do you think about. I mean am. I gone round the bend and off the wall. Well you know. I'm of a definitely a bias. Definitely by a source here. But but i think you're absolutely right. In risk management does not be risked. Elimination right. You can't relate all risks from your life now of course you know. The pandemic is taking a tremendous toll. But we know that public health is a shared responsibility between individuals and and supplier companies. As you mentioned but we feel Eating every travel traveler fully informed by their expert travel adviser should be able to determine their own tolerance for travel risk tolerance. You know there are some people who are in much more much sort of high risk categories than others but just saying don't travel is like saying. Don't go outside. I just i i fail to see how that how that's sustainable or enforceable or even practical. Yeah and and i'm gonna add the word sensible. I didn't think it made sense to me and truly zane. I mean why are we know. Each other and we have crossed paths for ages for years in the travel industry. I i don't think you know me well enough to know what chicken i am. I so i you know. I am the last one who's going to say. Go someplace if i think it's a dangerous place to go to but on the other hand you know i'm the one that believes you've got to get to the other side of the road. And if there's an eighteen wheeler coming down the pike at eighty miles an hour maybe wanna wait till he goes by before you cross instead of running in front of it but it doesn't mean because there are some big heavy machinery driving on the highways that you shouldn't cross the road i just it doesn't make sense to me.

Moves Brad have you on board for this hour. Money power. Boy, the headline stocks set Bal another ten percent before finding a bottom. According to the piper Jaffray technician. Stocks due for a recession and a tumble CNBC's are cash. Stating that every decade since the eighteen fifties in the US has had a recession. We haven't had one yet. So it's gonna happen. My advice, you do not obsess over fear of recessions. Wayne, why also last hour I was discussing the seven-year asset class return forecasts by none other than GMO. Jeremy Grantham, the G in GMO also wanna talk about the market what's happening with the market right now because you know, we went from record highs. Everybody's now concerned that we're in the midst of a bear market, which is true, by the way for a lot of the SNP stocks down twenty percent from their high. But I'll get a chance to talk about that. But I wanna start today with the piper Jaffray prognostication. Just over a month ago, the standard and Poor's five hundred. Was setting record highs. According to leave now more than seventy percent of the indexes components isn't a correction or worse. With some high profile names like Twitter, Caterpillar, Ford and AMD deep in bear market territory. So what are you going to do about it? I mean this. This is really amazing to me because people will come out and say, yes, we're the stocks could fall another ten percent. But they sure as h won't tell you when because they don't know. And so what if they do? Another ten percent. When when you're up four hundred percents since the bottom back in March of two thousand and nine what the heck's ten percent. And will we recover along? We'll take for us to recover from another ten percent fall six months a year. I don't know. I do know this that obsessing about recessions, and so forth is not a good thing. You can go a long time without a recession. But art Cashin very highly respected person on Wall Street says that every decade since eighteen fifty we've had one. And since the great recession ended in two thousand nine. Obviously means we haven't had one this decade. But in reality. You can go a lot of years without having a recession. Australia hasn't had one since one thousand nine hundred ninety one according to Ben Carlson. Who's a researcher? And does this kind of research? Could we not? The entering into a period of time where we're not gonna have a recession. I find it highly unlikely to be honest with you in the near term. I don't know anything about the long-term. But I look at the economic numbers right now. An absent some squirrelly stuff with trades and so forth. That you have to hope that the president figures out a way to worm his way out of the pickle. He's gotten him with China now with Russia nuclear treaty and all that stuff. But but so far this dude is figured out. How to do that stuff? He's got the strangest way to negotiate, but it's it's pretty darn effective. So assuming he does and a lot of these companies that are freaking out like, Caterpillar and so forth. Because of tariffs with China at cetera et cetera. That too shall pass. No one ever said making money in the stock market was easy. No one ever said that it was easy. And it's not. But over a long time period you look at the charts. I mean, I'm not charter, it's okay. I hate looking at charts. I think it's a waste of time to look at charts unless you're looking at one like the past thirty or forty years and just put your finger at where it started thirty or forty years ago and put your finger where the other finger from the other hand, I should say where it is today. And you will see a nice line that goes from the bottom left to the top, right? That's what the stock market has done, historically. In between times. There have been some pretty wicked selloffs. I mean, pretty darn wicked selloffs we've had some pretty wicked ones over the last several years as a matter of fact. Since the market bottomed in early two thousand and nine. There have been corrections of minus sixteen percent minus nineteen point four percent. Minus twelve point four percent minus thirteen point three percent. And mine is ten point two percent. That's in the standard and Poor's five hundred and I can assure you every single time. The pundits came out of the woodwork said. Yep. It's over now. Harry dent probably said, Yep. This is the precursor to Dau three thousand. Which he has actually said in the past that the Dow was going to crash the three thousand and instead of crashing to three thousand it's stored the twenty five thousand. I mean. He's a smart guy. No question about it. He's from Harvard, and he's not the only one by the way. I saw Ron Paul the other day on some TV commercial, and he's expecting a whole world to go to heck and a Handbasket and many many many others. But let me repeat since two thousand nine we've seen the market, correct? By sixteen percent. Nineteen percent. Twelve percent thirteen percent and ten percent. So when I read about piper Jaffray prognostication that we're gonna fall another ten. Oh cares. Who cares? If you were smart enough to get out, and then doubly smart to know when to get back in then perhaps you would care, but I don't. All right, shifting gears to the market as I said, Jeremy Grantham produces his seven-year asset class real return forecasts and as of September thirty two thousand eighteen. Here's what he had to say. Now when I say real return that means after inflation. After inflation. US large-cap stocks after inflation. Minus five point two percent per year. For the next seven years. That doesn't look good. Now, I have to also tell you that Mr. Grantham has also been wrong small-cap, stocks, minus two. High quality stocks minus five. Large companies international minus point five small international companies, minus point four emerging markets. Plus three point two percent. So after inflation. Three point two percent. Which means a nominal return about five and a half percent. That's the best. You can do. According to grant them bonds. Don't look any better. US bonds flat for the next seven years. International bonds down minus one point eight emerging market bonds up two point two percent. Cash up one percent. So check this out the emerging markets have how do I say this? Really been sucking fair and wind lately. He had according to Grantham. That's where you should put your money. I'm not suggesting that you do. I am suggesting that your ten to fifteen percent or whatever you've allocated to the emerging markets stock and bond markets, you hang onto even though the emerging market stocks have been. But I'm also suggesting these stay the course with your plan when we come back. We'll talk more about the market where it's been and where it is year to date where it might be going and some ways to build wealth outside of the stock market. Jeremy Grantham is correct around.

Five seven zero folks. Helping you make better money. Let's talk about the GMO seven-year asset class real return forecasts, and it doesn't pretty at all. Real. Meaning after inflation. US large-cap stocks expected to earn a minus five point two percent after you account for inflation. Which means they're gonna lose three percent. Per year for the next seven years. Nominally? Crazy stuff man who wants to lose money in the market. International stocks pretty close to break even down a little bit. After inflation. But emerging markets are the only ones. That actually are above water three point two percent. And on the bond side. It looks equally as dismal. International bonds down minus one point eight percent. Emerging market debt up two point two percent. So it's just not looking all that hot. I'm gonna talk about some alternatives here in just a moment. But I thought that I would refresh everyone's memory on where we are year to date. In terms of the market performance. And this could change. Any moment because Marcus have been pretty volatile lately, haven't they? The Dow's up three point seven two percent. The NASDAQ is up seven point seven four percent. The Russell small cap index is flat point three eight percent. And the standard and Poor's five hundred is up four point zero nine percent. Now, if you've got an adviser, and they're charging fees. You're going to have to subtract that that's just from the index itself. Now bonds have been in the tank this year. And I wanna talk about this a little bit later, hopefully an opportunity to do that. But core US bonds are down minus two point four one percent. Long core bonds minus six point four four percent year to date. People buy bonds because they're supposed to be safe. But in a rising interest rate environment and can be nasty corporate bonds. Minus three point three two percent long corporate bonds. Minus six point five five percent. Government bonds, the safest of all. Minus two point two one percent. Intermediate minus one point five eight percent. Long minus six point three five percent. Make alone that the government this year. A long term loan twenty thirty years. You lost six percent mortgage. Bonds minus one point seven seven tips treasury inflation protected securities, minus two point six percent. Knowing that really looks okay and the bond world high yields are up one point six percent. And T-Bills cash basically one point four one percent. So where do you go to build wealth in a market like this? Well, number one is you do not. Bail on your stock market portfolio. But as I have mentioned for years and years and years looking at alternatives to the stock market can make some sense. And alternatives to the bond market as well. Alternatives to the bond market. Could be other forms of debt private debt and so forth. And you gotta look hard for this stuff. You need a very very good financial adviser. You don't have to look quite as hard in the insurance world because insurance companies compete favorably with bonds with certain annuities. We talked yesterday about multi-year, guaranteed annuity contracts. They compete with CDs virtually no risk if you hold until the end and you'll get a better rate of return from most companies, then you'll get from treasuries. Fixed annuities index to new itys variable annuities with guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefits, locking in some kind of a guaranteed income stream in the event the whole world collapses. Those are great ways for you to diversify away from the stock market, but still have the benefits of the stock market. If things do well if they don't do. Well, you're still okay because you locked in a guaranteed income stream for the rest of your life, which will probably translate into a bond like asset, and depending on how long you live. It could be a dog on good bond. But more importantly, it gives you the ability to wait out the storm in the stock market. So what are some of these fresh alternatives to the stock market? Well, we've talked about rental properties and vacation homes. A lot on this show. And there was a company now I forget their name. It'll come to me that evaluated. A lot of these different strategies in terms of how much orders yield street. How much it costs and how hard is it to do? So rental properties, the drop in home ownership rates is obviously led to a rental, boom. But you've got to be very very careful here because some markets you could lose your shorts in. So here's what they said about rental property and vacation homes. The setup is hard. It is got to do your homework time commitment is high. Money required, medium, twenty to one hundred thousand bucks, and the research is on you. Then they went to commercial property. You got to put a lot of money into this money required. Two hundred and fifty thousand time commitment medium setup again hard. Franchises like a subway or Dunkin donuts and all that you can earn ten percent. But it's very very difficult to make that work for you, unless you're the person behind the counter, and even then you're not going to get rich. Now, if you own twenty six Dunkin donuts or Jack in the boxes, you can make a fortune if they all work, but they're not all going to work perfectly. But your time commitment is high. The setup is hard the money required. Big fifty grand for the little Mickey Mouse franchises. And even Dan if you hired a manager you still got to watch over them. If you put fifty grand down, and he made ten percent five thousand bucks a year. I don't know if it's worth the risk. There's peer to peer lending this actually pretty easy to do. Go online, and you can get pretty decent rates of return. Anyway. Some alternatives at least to the stock market. I wouldn't get too crazy here big allocating some of your money to alternatives wise move. My preference is to find a fund that does these types of alternatives for you be willing to pay a fee, and let them do all the hard work. So you can sit back and go to Dunkin donuts.

I've got a couple of emails after the comments that I made on bonds yesterday. According to Morningstar's taxable bonded tables. Seventy three percent of the funds that they follow. Are down this year. Ninety percent of Muniz of lost money, so far and a lot of people are freaking out. Minds were safe. Well, bonds are safe. You just have to understand them and understand the role that they play in your portfolio. I mean in an ideal world. You'd figure out how much money you want to spend from your portfolio each year and ladder out some reasonably safe bonds and every year when the bond matures. You'd have the money go spend it and everything's cool. But as we discussed the other day. Most small investors get hosed when they do that. Because of the bid ask spreads and so forth. And you never really know what you're getting until you got it. So hence the bond fund over the years has come to fruition. And for the most part, they're pretty efficient way to buy bonds. In particular, if you're reinvesting all of the dividends, and you have them there for some form of safety. It's not what I would recommend you do with one hundred percent of your fixed income portfolio. But the question I get more than any other one on bonds is why do bond funds lose money. When interest rates are going up. I'm buying them for safety of principle. Well, we haven't had the deal with that much over the past decade or so because interest rates really past thirty years or so because interest rates had been on the decline. So bonds didn't really lose. But so far this year. They're hitting the skids, pretty hard. Pretty hard. Two six percent, depending on what you own. So as I've mentioned many times before there's an inverse relationship between interest rates and bond prices. So as interest rates, go up the value goes down. Let me give you an obtuse example to make the point. Let's say you went to the Bank. And the Bank was paying five percent interest on a CD. So the bond that you went out and searched for at least earn the same five percent or the person go to the Bank. So let's say you decide to put a grand thousand bucks in a bond that pays five percent. So now, you're getting the same interest from the bond as you're getting in the Bank. Now, what would happen to your bond? If the Bank happened to raise interest rates from five percent to say ten percent. You already bought the bond. So you're sitting there earning five percent. But you know, you can walk across the street and get ten percent. In a CD. So if you wanted to sell the bond. Paid five percent you'd have to reduce your price. Because anybody that would buy that bond from you would obviously prefer to go to the Bank and get ten percent rather than paying you par value for the bond and earn five. So the bond that you originally bought for a thousand dollars that pays you fifty bucks a year in interest. Would have to be reduced in price to five hundred dollars. Because a ten percent interest rate on five hundred bucks produces a fifty dollar per year interest payment. So therefore, you would have to reduce the value of your bond by fifty percent. That's what happens in the bond market. Now interest rate Dongo from five to ten percent. But I think you get the point. Now the Federal Reserve. Held interest rates at near zero for almost eight years. So we have not experienced this kind of dilemma with bonds and bond funds in the recent past and with interest rates rising bonds tend to look more attractive from a yield standpoint. But if they continue to rise, the total return may not be nearly as attractive. We've talked about alternatives. Many many times before. One alternative is to hire a bond manager that can go anywhere. Remember, I said before that high yields we're actually up so far this year not much but nonetheless up long bonds were down substantially. And most financial planners. Not me. Recommend allocating forty percent bonds. I didn't do it. When I was practicing and interest rates are on the decline and bonds were great performers. Because I always knew that at some point interest rates would change and people wouldn't understand why the safety portion of their portfolio was losing money. That is not to say, I wouldn't have some money allocated demands are just wouldn't do almost fifty percent of the portfolio. Especially when I can find alternatives like fixed annuities and fixed indexed annuities that produce returns that are very similar if not better. Especially when the stock market's doing well, but I wouldn't abandon them. But some people think well, wait a minute. Maybe my bond fund manager is asleep at the switch here. So maybe they are. But the problem with some bond fund managers is. What they're hired to do is by let's say government bonds. It's the government bond fund. So they can't switch to high yield. Because that's not doesn't have the same risk profile. So many times even if the manager frankly wants to go to cash or do something else. They don't want to let let the cat out of the bag here. They're in the business of managing money Abban managers in the business of managing money. Just like a stock managers in the business of managing money. And they don't want to not buy government bonds if their strategy is to buy government bonds, even when they perhaps think the buying government bonds not so hot. So rather than by a single purpose bond fund. You can buy a bond fund where you trust that the money manager will try to go to the right place to find the right bonds. I'm not suggesting they'll do better or worse. I'm just suggesting that they have more flexibility. I mentioned other alternatives fixed index the newest he's why are interest rates going up interest rates are going up because there's a fear of inflation not necessarily inflation. But a fear of inflation. And the unemployment rate is going down and wages are going up. And that bodes well for stocks. It does bode well for stocks. So if you have interest in a quote bond like an annuity, and the interest was calculated based on how well the standard and Poor's five hundred or some other stock index did. And there was no possibility of a loss. Why wouldn't you take some of the bond portfolio and put it there? I don't know it makes sense to me. Hi, did it to the tune of millions and millions of dollars for clients back in the day. And they never got angry because they never lost money. Now, they didn't make much either. There are making fourteen percent.

And they're priced earn three to five percents. Don't let anybody give you any Gulf about eight nine percent. That's bogus information. They're price earned three to five percent. Just like bonds only, they have no downside risk. And bonds today with interest rates going up, certainly do have downside risks. Don't eliminate all the bonds because of interest rates come down.
