Yeah, the Paul Truesdell, II 00:11 number of sales and the pricing and everything is, I would say it's down a little bit, but it's not as tremendous as some other places in the state. Just discussing this interesting article about how places like I believe Cape Coral. article said that year over year, the prices are up 51%. And people are shocked that sales are down some dramatic number and it's taking what is it a 31 more days to sell a house than last year? Oh, and prices are up 51% I'm honestly surprised. That's all it is. I anybody that has a little bit of patience, can see that one. That bubble bursting in a very short amount of time. Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 00:56 Sunday, we had lunch with a couple who had been clients of ours for quite a while. Wonderful human beings. They I'm sure are listening and will say hi to them. Hello, hello. But one of the things I said to them, I said do not go to drudge. Drudge is a godforsaken horrible place to get news. On the other hand, it is an aggregator. The problem is the damn headlines. Oh, Paul Truesdell, II 01:22 yeah. Yeah. Well, that's that's the Drudge away. Right? You you rewrite the headlines to get people to click? Yeah, clickbait and scale coming back. So, but yeah, it's it's interesting, the home prices in general, like, what is it? I don't know, the current lending rates are, but they are have not come down because, obviously, consequences of the market in the economy continuing to be quite robust. And they can't quite beat inflation. So we're kind of in this like quasi people who are once again talking about stagflation. I don't think it's that severe, considering we're still in single digit, interest rate, low single digit interest rate, and an inflation environment. But so let's call it let's call it baby stagflation. Maybe, maybe that's a word. I'm Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 02:14 not sure what is going to be called it. What I do know is that many years ago, when a couple of retirement communities in the Ocala metropolitan area, all over the creeks, Stone Creek, book Creek, little known Creek, there's all the creeks around hurricane crest stones and creeks and and Paul Truesdell, II 02:35 oaks and oaks. That pretty much covers all the communities if you are willing to add or subtract a word or if Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 02:44 you're a developer...

Truesdell.net PaulTruesdell.com Truesdell Wealth, Inc. Truesdell Wealth Events So how much more does it cost to be sustainable? Sustainable products are 75-85 per cent more expensive than conventional products, according to a study by Netherlands consulting firm Kearny. Transcript In today's society, there is a growing trend towards using plant-based materials as a substitute for leather, with the belief that it is a more ethical and environmentally friendly option. However, upon closer examination, it becomes apparent that these alternatives may not be as sustainable or long-lasting as traditional leather products. One prime example is the Apple iPhone case made from plant-based materials, which was recently discontinued due to its inability to withstand daily wear and tear. This highlights the fact that while these alternative materials may seem like a step in the right direction, they often lack the durability and longevity of leather. Moreover, it is important to consider the hidden environmental costs associated with the production of these supposedly eco-friendly products. Many of the electronic devices and technologies we rely on, such as electric vehicles, require a significant amount of precious metals and oil-based products in their manufacturing process. While the end user may feel good about their politically correct choice, the reality is that the environmental impact of these products is often comparable to, if not greater than, their traditional counterparts. In contrast, leather has been a symbol of quality and craftsmanship for centuries. The art and science behind the production of leather ensures that it not only looks beautiful but also stands the test of time. This longevity is a key factor in determining the true environmental impact of a product, as it reduces the need for frequent replacements and ultimately contributes to a more sustainable lifestyle. It is often said that only a rich person can afford to buy something cheap. This adage holds true when it comes to making informed purchasing decisions. Wealthy individuals tend to invest in high-quality items that last, understanding that the initial cost is offset by the long-term value and durability of the product. On the other hand, those with limited financial means often find themselves replacing items more frequently as they opt for cheaper, lower-quality alternatives that do not withstand the test of time. This brings us to the concept of modern minimalism and the importance of mastering money management. To truly embrace a minimalist lifestyle, it is essential to have the appropriate mindset and to make the most of the resources we already possess. Before making a new purchase, we must carefully evaluate our needs and determine whether the item is a necessity or simply a desire. A perfect illustration of this concept is the temptation to upgrade electronic devices, such as an iPad, when a new model is released. In the coming weeks and months, Apple is expected to make major announcements regarding their latest products, which may entice many consumers to replace their current devices. However, it is crucial to consider whether we are truly utilizing our existing devices to their fullest extent before investing in a newer model. In essence, the key to successful money management and a sustainable lifestyle lies in prioritizing quality over quantity. By investing in well-crafted, durable items and making the most of what we already own, we can reduce our environmental impact and cultivate a more mindful approach to consumption. It is time to look beyond the allure of politically correct alternatives and instead focus on making informed, long-term decisions that benefit both ourselves and the planet.

Speaker 2 0:07 The conflict in Ukraine has ushered in a significant evolution in military strategies, particularly evident in the realm of procurement, weapons deployment, and the utilization of force multipliers. The Ukrainian armed forces have notably intensified their focus on drone technology, a pivotal component in their recent tactical advancements. This emphasis on drone development and deployment has yielded tangible results. As demonstrated by a recent milestone we're in two drones successfully targeted objectives situated over 1000 kilometers within Russian territory, a feat unprecedented in Ukraine's military history. Speaker 1 0:48 Moreover, Ukraine's proficiency in drone operations has expanded to encompass the destruction of six Russian military aircraft stationed at their bases, underscoring the growing effectiveness of Ukrainian drone capabilities. Central to these achievements are the utilization of FPV first person view drones characterized by their compact size, agility and adaptability for specialized missions, such as chemic, kasi style attacks or precision bombings. Notably, a considerable portion of these drones is constructed by volunteers, exemplified by individuals like Bill Smith, and American engineer operating a 3d printing facility in Ukraine. The Speaker 2 1:29 procurement process for these drones involves a decentralized approach facilitated by digital technology. military personnel seeking drone assets submit their requirements to an intermediary website, where digital blueprints are accessed. Subsequently, approximately 1800 3d printers distributed across Ukraine, including those operated by volunteers at home, commence production based on these specifications. This streamlined process enables rapid manufacturing and deployment of drone assets, effectively enhancing the operational readiness of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Speaker 1 2:06 Furthermore, beyond conventional aerial drones, Ukraine has also ventured into the development and deployment of specialized aquatic vehicles, notably for engagements targeting Russia's Black Sea Fleet. Reports indicate the successful utilization of these aquatic drones, including an incident in early March were a maritime drone purportedly inflicted damage on a Russian warship. Such innovative applications underscore Ukraine's diversified approach to military procurement and utilization, leveraging emerging technologies to exert pressure across various domains of conflict. In Speaker 2 2:44 essence, the ongoing conflict in Ukraine has spurred a paradigm shift in military tactics driven by advancements in drone technology and innovative procurement methodologies. The ability to deploy drones effectively, both in conventional and unconventional operations, has provided Ukraine with a strategic edge, enabling precise targeting and sustained pressure on adversaries. As the conflict continues to unfold, the evolution of military strategies and technologies will remain pivotal in shaping the outcome and influencing broader geopolitical dynamics in the region. Speaker 1 3:19 This was a special short edition of the Paul Truesdell podcast produced by staff members of Paul the elder and Paul the younger at the Truesdell professional building in Ocala, Florida.

ROUGH TRANSCRIPTION - NOT EDITED - PURE ROUGH VOICE TO TEXT Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 0:00 One of the interesting articles that appeared in The Wall Street Journal is about the technology companies we're always talking about in the video, and we're talking about Facebook, or meta or Amazon or Apple, but looks like an old school name has come back to be popular. Yes, Paul Truesdell, II 0:16 everybody forgets how influential the energy industry is. But it keeps everything chugging including all the aforementioned companies that everybody is so obsessed with. Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 0:25 So we're talking about Exxon. Exxon is a company that has amazing strong demand, because the global economy is stronger than ever. And guess what? Because of Ukraine and the Middle East, and now Israel, and oh, gosh, everything that's going on the increase Israel in Iran escalation looks like oil prices are steady Yeti. Yeah, definitely. And sometimes old school companies tend to come back and smile. Paul Truesdell, II 0:58 Well, it's one of the it's a bedrock company, I kind of view it, you know, in more ways than one. Yeah. Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 1:04 I mean, look, everybody's been talking about falling inflation. I've been talking about bond yields. And, you know, listen, a lot of people in bonds got slaughtered few years ago. Yeah, especially. So you know, a lot of people, not our clients. Right now, not our clients, those of you who were buying bonds in the 0% range, or the 1% range, when inflation went up, and they lost value, if you sold them, if you hang on to them, you're doing fine. But problem is Paul Truesdell, II 1:31 a lot of people don't have the option to not sell because they own bond funds, whether they're mutual funds, or ETFs, or whatever. And those funds are forced to rotate based on certain criteria or whatever. And, you know, they lost value, purely because they the fund itself is a marketable security and speculation against the assets that they hold, causes the value of the fund to go down. So it's just a lot of people got screwed, no matter which way you slice it. You know, I mean, we've talked about this in the past. So few people own individual bonds, it's actually kind of scary. It's almost entirely funds and large institutions. And Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 2:15 I've talked about extensively the cost for funds. I'll mention the name Carol who works with us. She said there when I did that thing like, man, you scare the hell out of me on bonds, because there's the cost of it. And the lack of of transparency is really substantial. Yeah, absolutely. So bond funds are bundled financial products, and very few people buy bonds. But yeah, basically, the Federal Reserve is doing what the Federal Reserve needs to do. Paul's doing what Paul's doing. But I gotta tell you, Exxon, ahead of...

The controversy arose due to allegations that the Obama administration, particularly then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, approved the deal in exchange for donations to the Clinton Foundation. Opponents of the deal, mainly conservative politicians and media outlets, claimed that the sale compromised U.S. national security interests by giving Russia control over a significant portion of U.S. uranium production capacity. They also alleged that the Clinton Foundation received substantial donations from individuals connected to Uranium One, suggesting a quid pro quo arrangement. Investigations into the matter, including a 2015 review by the U.S. Department of Justice, found no evidence of wrongdoing by Hillary Clinton or the Obama administration. Despite this, the controversy persisted, with some critics continuing to use it as a political talking point against Clinton during her 2016 presidential campaign. Note: While U.S. "officials" deny anything and everything: A Russian assassination unit linked has been Havana syndrome. Think About It Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 0:00 This morning, I woke up at around three, four o'clock in the morning or closer to three. And I had something come across one of my feeds. And we talked about this morning, we were writing in 60 minutes had an episode about the Havana syndrome and really interesting. Paul Truesdell, II 0:18 Yeah, I didn't see the whole interview. But I did end up seeing a few clips from some of the interviews in that that episode. And yeah, it kind of confirmed some of my suspicions and clarified. Yes, some of the things that have been floating around for a long time. Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 0:34 So today, we're going to talk a lot about Russia. Again, we're talking about China. Again, we're gonna talk a little bit about our members of Congress. Again, we're going to tie all this into economics, again, there's a lot of things are going on. And we're going to also tie this in to France. We do not rehearse these, do we? No, we do not. And we have no notes. And we're just going to spit ball up because this is a conversation that we have on a fairly regular basis. So do you want to give a little history of the Havana flu or Havana syndrome, whatever they want to call it? Which is a joke. Yeah. My Paul Truesdell, II 1:09 My recollection of it is that sometime around 2000, I don't know what 1314 15. Somewhere in there, they started recognizing the certain people that worked for consulates in different places. I believe the investigation started in Cubot. Hence the name Havana. And these people had unknown brain anomalies, injuries, something that resembled a TBI. That made no sense because most of these people were working in the let's call them, like collar kind of administrative roles. Is that correct? Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 1:45 Yeah. And the consensus, kind of moving forward now to today is that almost all of them talk about hearing a horrendous high pitched whine. One guy said, Imagine you have a ear infection and you stick a Q tip in your ear. But instead of a Q tip, it's a needle. And imagine the pain of a sound of like a pin, piercing your eardrum. From there you have brain fog, and all sorts of items where they can't stand, they fall down. They can't concentrate. It is pretty, pretty hard. Paul Truesdell,...

The information presented is provided for informational purposes only. Truesdell Wealth, Inc. - A Registered Investment Advisor - Florida - 212-433-2525 | Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF, Founder 00:00 The Paul Truesdell podcast Tuesday, February 27, 2024 Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 00:04 we are going to talk a little bit about Nvidia and the evaluation. What's your initial thoughts on it? It's Paul Truesdell, II 00:11 an amazing i, what, two to three years, if you look at it, it's kind of been obvious that they were going to take this super track, but I don't know, the the hype, to me seems a little bit above reality. And it's not as long term thinking as it should be. But, you know, that's kind of how things go. When you get fads, people are extremely exuberant, about, about things, especially AI and all of them, they are effectively the only major engine that is pushing all of that forward. So you Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 00:45 Well, let's pull back and talk a little bit about just exactly what the who the company is what exactly they do. But I think, because I don't think a lot of people really understand what their processes and procedures are. Let's just let's run through that in terms of invention manufacturing, high end, low end, let's just kind of cover the big broad picture briefly. Paul Truesdell, II 01:05 Yeah, I mean, so it's valued, like an insane tech company. And basically, they are, they don't manufacture anything, as far as I'm aware. If they do, it's extremely small scale stuff. I think they outsource all manufacturing to a handful of partners. Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 01:24 This so this is a technology company that really is focused in the area of intellectual capacity Paul Truesdell, II 01:30 develops, its pure design, fair design. Now, granted, they sell a product, but they don't do the actual manufacturing. And if we've learned anything over the past couple of years, with all the talk of chips and everything in the in the media, the thing is the manufacturing, even if you have a good design, that manufacturing is still a really hard part. Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF 01:48 And so you have people like a site like Apple, Apple, does the design have the intellectual capacity and capabilities, but the actual manufacturing generally takes place someplace else, it's all outsource Paul Truesdell, II 02:04 that includes the chips. Yeah, that includes the specialized hardware that includes the actual finished product, they, they don't do any manufacturing, they're purely a effectively designed company that then sells the finished product after the person makes it. And it's kind of like a lot of these, you know, most food brands you buy things from, they do the same thing.
