Traffic and weather together on this 6 is his 1st news Kevin Miller News Radio 102.9 Katie it's a beautiful Listen this morning if. You look at the 14 feet you know what I have high hopes that he's going to leave me right there keep financial success can take me where I can use my money more wisely and you to no pressure there at all Greg McBride He's a secret list with bankrate dot com Good morning Greg are you doing a good morning Kevin thanks for having me back and always a pleasure always a pleasure to have you join the conversation. Greg Ok long term interest rates and the rebound there what's what's going on with long term interest rates I can put me in on that long term interest rates and just to be clear these are not the interest rates that the Federal Reserve controls are really dictated by demand among investors in markets but they have a strong bearing particularly on mortgage rates that consumers see in the marketplace but also on the rates that corporations pay to borrow so you know it's a real bellwether for the cost of borrowing whether it's consumer corporate or even government and there's a bit of a good news bad news relationship here and in the sense that bad news actually drives those guilds lower reducing the cost of borrowing when things are a little bit better and then those costs rise the dynamic we've seen over the last couple of months Kevin is that says this some of those recession worries that we're at a fever pitch just a few months ago has some of that has eased we've seen those long term rates come back up so as a consumer you're in the marketplace you'd probably see a mortgage rates now that you know might be a quarter of a percentage point higher than what you had seen say you know back in the middle of August when those worries were at a fever pitch what about recession I mean that again you we were all talking about that at the end of the financial growth was really about 2 to the end of the tunnel there but now this is all kind of changed around what caused it to change and one of the outlook look like now well the big cloud that's been hanging over is this cloud of uncertainty with regard to the trade dispute with China in particular and as you know that has that story is kind of ebb and flow so to me has the level of uncertainty and worries about a potential recession so you know it at times when there were expectations were very high that a deal was going to get signed you know the pinions about the economy were much better then whenever. There was concern that oh no this deal is not going to get signed any time soon this is going to continue to be a drag on the economy the tariffs are. Going up and that's going to take money out of consumers' pockets you know that the dominoes start to fall and then you know people start to freak out about recession and so we've seen this ad been flow I mean you know there's the consumers are really strong shape right now but that concern has always been sort of well what's around the corner what 6 or 12 months down the road if this trade dispute gets worse what happens that's really at the root of those recession concerns and you know as some of that has eased in recent weeks we've seen those long term interest rates go back up but again it's been more like a yo yo yo yo have been down as those worries of the how kind of you know increased and then you know they go away for a while then they come back so it's just you know I don't expect that pattern to change you know people wonder why do they do the markets react so much to everything and sometimes so dramatically well because the only measuring stick you have is what's happened in the past and you worry about the future and what's going to happen and there is a lot of money involved and so people you know tend to sway one way or the other at least that's what it seems like to me Well you hit on 2 things that I think are really important there one is there's a lot of money involved that's definitely contributed to a lot of the volatility but also the future right the particular stock market it's discounting the future outlook stock market doesn't move based on what happened last week last month last year now it's looking down the road next week next month next year and as those prospects brighten ordered him that tends to contribute to a lot of volatility that happened by the minute absolutely absolutely we are only one tweet away from you know people feeling a whole lot different and that's why we say are these women Angela vizor would say that you don't look at the stock in the short term you look at it in the long term in perspective for or investing and that's why you know that's why you go back to the past and say here's what it's done over time is there a guarantee of future would be you know the disclaimer no guarantee of future results but you know you would assume you would think that the history would be. An indicator of what will be happening long term in the future but you know today or tomorrow or in the next 5 minutes. Well the one thing history has taught us Kevin is that if you do hang in there and kind of block out that day to day noise and just continue to focus on the long term that you hang in there through those bumps and downs that you are rewarded for your patience over the long term and so I think that message is still valid for investors don't get all wrapped up and you know this tweet or that news headline or this that the you know what the market did today for Morrow we're in this for the long also maintain that multi year or multi decade perspective with regard to investment the waves may come you keep your ship on course I like that. It's easy analogy Greg McBride with Bankrate Greg Ok let's pivot here for a little bit too and get a little bit closer to home with the terrorists and what's happening there what we've seen happen with those how does that affect me into the holiday season is that going to make things more expensive for me as I go by this year alone does the one time when most have the most direct impact on consumers have been pushed off so that they don't have that dramatic effect on consumer spending during the holiday season said so that was one of those things that you know back in August was the source of a lot of anger about the economy was you know we didn't know how much of an impact this was going to have on the consumers wallet when they go holiday shopping you know those have since been to been pushed off but again that cloud of uncertainty still exists are those tariffs going to go into effect at a later date wave So what's going to be the impact on the consumer how much money is that going to take out of their pocket what's that going to mean to economic growth so I mean that's you know that's sort of the spiral of thoughts that that come along with the uncertainty about tariffs and trade and you know as the headlines kind of all the back and forth between We're close to a deal no we're not close to a deal Greg also too with retailers you're seeing more of them throughout the Black Friday deals are ready starting to see that in fact immediately after Halloween is that a sign or an indication that some of the major retailers are having some problems or are they just thinking. It's of the season you know I think it's a combination of 2 things you know one it's you know intensely competitive. And that 2nd the consumer has limited dollars to spend and if you and I are competing with one another if I get those dollars 1st I'm going to get the dollars that you don't and so I think you know a lot of as just a reflection of the fact that the increased competition I mean it's not going to be too much longer you know we're going to see these things you know moving back sooner and sooner right after Halloween we start seeing the Christmas decorations and that's just again a reflection of the fact there's a lot of competition to get those limited dollars consumers out of place as you start to see a run into the 4th of July.

Adam didn't listen to that advice he made it big in fact what he made over $2000000000.00. You know it's like betting on the wrong horse there right he could have you know done what he did and rubbed it in the guy's face because they met later on he ran into the same teacher and his retort was hey that was the only teacher ever bought me a beer.

Qualified. a collusion grievance filed by Colin Kaepernick has since been settled with the league the quarterback hasn't played since 2016 when he helped Stuart a string of protests about social injustice by taking a need to ring the anthem now another shot with all 32 teams invited to the tryout arranged by the n.f.l. But questions loom about how he'll be received with his history of protest this in and says if Kaplan It proves himself to be competitive it won't matter much to teams needing depth the quarterback is the n.f.l.
