2272 FBF: Business Cycles with Bernie Baumohl Author of ‘The Secrets of Economic Indicators: Hidden Clues to Future Economic Trends’
Today's Flashback Friday is from episode 258, published last May 7, 2012. We are all confused about economic indicators and it’s critical that we understand the real figures, the direction of the economy, interest rates and their consequences, and much more. On this episode, Jason Hartman interviews Bernie Baumohl, author of Secrets of Economic Indicators, in regard to the numerous economic indicators and what is most useful. Bernie explains what a “business cycle” is and what happens during the cycle, how it comes full circle over time. Bernie gives examples of stress points in the business cycle. People make mistakes, such as buying more inventory than they need or the economy can’t handle the demand of the people. More recently, we have seen longer periods of economic growth, but at a closer look, the mistakes that caused the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression are apparent. It was a “cauldron of fraud and wrecklessness,” says Bernie. Jason and Bernie touch on the subject of the Federal Reserve and the Gold Standard, citing what has been happening in Greece as an example of the limitations of a currency that is fixed and unmovable. Bernie feels that a country in economic trouble needs to have the flexibility to lower interest rates. They also discuss market sensitivity, the index, and the source of the leading market indicators.

2270: Deconstructing the Vaccine Myth: Historical Data Revealed on Vaccine Effectiveness with Roman Bystrianyk
Roman and Jason discuss the decline in measles mortality rates in the US which has fallen by 98% before the first measles vaccine was introduced in 1963. Roman shares data from US vital statistics data and a chart showing the decline and mortality rate for measles in the United States. They also discuss similar data from England, where measles and other health problems were a big killers in the early 20th century, but by the time the vaccines came out, there was almost a 100% decline in mortality. Roman explains that the mortality decline was not influenced by the vaccine at all, as it was due to poor living conditions and the introduction of clean water, sanitation, hygiene, improved nutrition, and a revolution in science. https://dissolvingillusions.com/ https://www.cdc.gov/ Save the date!

2269 FBF: Property Acquisition Tips with Michael LeBeouf Author of ‘The Greatest Management Principle of the World’
This Flashback Friday is from episode 248, published last March 14, 2012. Join Jason Hartman as he opens with some thoughts on buying far below construction or replacement costs sharing an email from Allstate Insurance, then a discussion of an Orange County Register article citing Marcus & Millichap's 2012 National Apartment Report. You'll hear Michael LeBeouf, author of the NY Times best-selling book, "The Greatest Management Principle in the World", where he discusses human behavior and how "What Gets Rewarded, Gets Repeated." In the news: Underwater borrowers eligible for settlement write-downs. A calculation by a Brookings Institution economist narrowed down a pool of underwater homeowners to 500,000 who could qualify for principal reduction from the $25 billion mortgage settlement. Using the parameters of the settlement, Ted Gayer found just 5% of the nation's 11.1 million underwater borrowers could get the principal reduced on their mortgage, first reported by The Washington Post. About $10 billion of the settlement, in the form of credits, will go toward principal write-downs made by the five banks. Only homeowners delinquent on their mortgages are eligible. Gayer eliminated others according to underlying requirements, including Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac loans and homes not owner-occupied. It's a rough calculation, Gayer warned, and he made some assumptions in the process. He eliminated any loans not held on the banks' balance sheets, as well as any with a second loan. Mortgage bondholders may not take kindly to principal write-downs, he said.

2266 FBF: Improve Your Negotiating Skills with Stuart Diamond Author of ‘Getting More: How to Negotiate to Achieve Your Goals’
This Flashback Friday is from episode 247, published last March 8, 2012. Whether you’re trying to get a raise at your job, solve a relationship problem, or deal with a stubborn child, negotiating is a daily part of our lives, and every human interaction is affected by emotion and logic or rationalization. Jason Hartman interviews Stuart Diamond, the author of "Getting More: How to Negotiate to Achieve Your Goals in the Real World" on improving negotiating skills and interactions with others in order to “get more.” Stuart stresses the importance of making the human connection and finding the pictures in people’s heads, knowing them better in order to better meet their needs, which gives a person a more competitive edge and adds tremendous wealth to any deal. Emotions play a huge part in all interactions. “Emotions destroy negotiations because they distract people from their goals,” says Stuart. When people get emotional, they stop listening, and it becomes a priority to find out a person’s emotional temperature before proceeding on any deal. Stuart talks about key points in how people should treat one another, stating how people today have a lack of trust in one another and have a tendency to demonize one another rather than using simple solutions to solve conflicts. “Fighting is the last choice; not the first choice,” explains Stuart. Stuart Diamond has taught and advised on negotiation and cultural diversity to corporate and government leaders in more than 40 countries, including in Eastern Europe, former Soviet Republics, China, Latin America, the Middle East, Canada, South Africa and the United States. He holds an M.B.A. with honors from Wharton Business School, ranked #1 globally by The Financial Times where he is currently a professor from practice. For more than 90% of the semesters over the past 15 years his negotiation course has been the most popular in the school based on the course auction, and he has won multiple teaching awards. He has taught negotiation at Harvard Law School, from which he holds a law degree and is a former Associate Director of the Harvard Negotiation Project. He has directed a negotiation consulting firm in Cambridge, MA.

2265: The Hartman Risk Evaluator: Smart Investing in Packaged Commodities and Why Real Estate is the Best Hedge Against Inflation
Jason invites you all to Empowered Investor LIVE this coming April for a great time of learning and fun! Get early bird rates today! https://empoweredinvestorlive.com/ Given the recent tragedies in Los Angeles, North Carolina, Florida and others, and thus the tremendous need to build new houses across the country, Jason wanted to discusses the Hartman Risk Evaluator and the importance of packaged commodities investing for real estate investors. The Hartman Risk Evaluator highlights the benefits of investing in real estate as a means of gaining exposure to commodities, which have intrinsic value. Unlike fiat currencies that depreciate over time, commodities such as lumber, drywall, concrete, steel, and petroleum-based products are essential and globally traded. Rather than investing directly in raw commodities, real estate investors can leverage fixed-rate financing, tax benefits, and appreciation by purchasing "packaged commodities" in the form of homes and apartments. Rising costs of construction materials, driven by supply chain issues and inflation, further support real estate as a strong hedge against currency devaluation. The Hartman Risk Evaluator helps investors minimize downside risk by focusing on markets where the land-to-improvement ratio is lower, meaning more of the investment is in tangible commodities rather than volatile land values. Linear markets, characterized by stable appreciation and landlord-friendly laws, offer the best long-term returns, as opposed to risky cyclical markets with boom-and-bust cycles. Ultimately, investing in packaged commodities via real estate provides a safeguard against inflation while capitalizing on the global demand for essential building materials. #RealEstateInvesting #CommoditiesInvesting #RiskManagement #HartmanRiskEvaluator #InflationHedge #LinearMarkets #CyclicalMarkets #HybridMarkets #InvestmentStrategy #MarketAnalysis #FinancialEducation #AssetDiversification #PropertyInvestment #FinancialLiteracy Key Takeaways: 1:36 https://empoweredinvestorlive.com/ and the race to construction materials and labor Risk Evaluator and packaged commodities investing 4:00 Producer prices up in Feb 12:52 Baselane.com/Jason 16:03 PPI: softwood lumber and other materials 19:20 3 types of markets and LTI ratio Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/ Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://www.jasonhartman.com/ Free Class: Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: http://JasonHartman.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: http://JasonHartman.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://www.jasonhartman.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://JasonHartman.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com
