Freido Floridas assist.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
To Brian Mudshow. Hey there, Happy Monday. My weekly update
for you.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
Hello, can stocks and cryptocurrencies go? My first rule of
money is never let your money in the motions cross paths.
It's pretty simple. If you do, you're probably going to
have less of it. Certainly not what you're ever going for,
but especially when you're investing. But statistically, over ninety percent
of the time that people jump in and out they
try to time markets investments, they do worse that they
(00:33):
just left their money alone. Over ninety percent of the time,
you just left your money where you started investing it,
you'd be better off. And so we do tend to
be our own worst enemy. I don't want you to
be that. I want you to be able to take
advantage of the greatest wealth creation machine in the history
of the world, which is your United States stock market.
(00:53):
And so about that, we take a look at the
market over the past week, gains that have been a
little bit above the flat line all the way to
two percent based upon your index of choice year today
you now have the dial the S and P five
hundred nasek up anywhere from five to eight percent.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Stocks flat to hire last week.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Your big three indexes continue to trade near recordnize this
by concerns of significantly higher tariffs kicking in on August
first for all countries not named China, England, Indonesia, by
the way, which reached a trade agreement with Trump administration
last week in Vietnam, and so there's cerently optimism that
new trade deals are going to be announced over the
past over the next week and a half, with buzz
(01:35):
surrounding the EU being the loudest currently.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
So last week's consumer price.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Index report was a huge part of the broader conversation
inflashen did tick up from two point four percent of
May to two point seven percent in June, still lower
than the three percent that present Trump inherited, but obviously
trending in the wrong direction, and that essentially eliminated any
chance of the Reserve cutting interest rates when they meet
next week. Investors are pricing in a nine ninety six
(02:07):
percent chance the rates are going to remain unchanged for
now and now. As Earning's reporting season kicks up, had
increasingly good news has helped support stock prices. Twelve percent
of companies had reported through Friday. Earning's growth is paced
five point six percent year of the year. That's better
than expected. As we take a look at crypto's big
week for cryptos last week, you had the landmark legislation
(02:28):
that had been signed and so about that.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Here's Fox's Law of cancer.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
President Trump signing the Genius Act into law Friday. The
landmark crypto legislation provides a framework for regulating stable coins
in the US. The President vowing to make the United
States the world's crypto leader.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Yes, that's big.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
And early in the week anticipation of the news, you
had Bigcoin hit new hints above one hundred and twenty
two thousand dollars, settled the week just above the flat
line and are around one hundred and eighteen thousand. Ether
was a big winner last week. You know, it had
been lower on the year, had really been lagging the
performance of other digital tokens, and it was a twenty
four percent last week of twelve percent year to date. Now,
(03:07):
by the way, Bigcoin of twenty six percent year to date,
and the BELWYZTF that represents the top ten cryptos it
was up about two percent. It's up twenty percent on
the year. Can't provide any value analysis cryptos because they
have no inherent value. I cant for stocks because they do.
Using the S and P five hundred as the benchmark,
if only fundamentals and nothing else mattered, your absolute downside
risk from here is forty six percent.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
That is not cheap.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
But also it is about two percent less expensive than
the peak of the cycle.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
And here's the other thing.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Do I think that we're going to get a forty
six percent sell off?
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Now?
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Is it possible over the short run? It is in theory.
So let's just say it happened. If it would it
negatively impact your daily life. Okay, great, You're probably in
good shape. If it was not so good at that point,
you need a new plan and if necessary, a pro
that can help you with that plan.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Fox on set.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
If AI created pictures are polluting your search results, one
browser now has a way to keep them out. Web
browser app duck doc Co, long a favorite of privacy
minded individuals, is debuting a new setting in their browser
that will filter out images created by artificial intelligence from
the search results. AI images are now clogging up the
(04:23):
Internet and a phenomenon referred to as aislop, and according
to a number of complaints, AI created photos and videos
are all too often filling up pages when people are
searching for legitimate images. The filters rely on open source
block lists and an opposed to its ex account, duck
dot go says it will greatly reduce the amount of
(04:44):
AI generated images in your searches, though they admit it
won't catch them all. Duck dot go says they will
add more filters in the future. The AI image filter
can be found in the search settings menu with Fox
on Tech.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
I'm Eben Brown.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Fox and speaking of AI, President Trump is said to
make an AI related announcement today, so we'll see what
that is all about.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
As regulation of AI is still on focus.
