Hi folks, Alex Klingelhoeffer here with Exencial Wealth Advisors.
[15]
It is 8 27 here in the middle part of the country on Wednesday.
[20]
It is September 15th, 2021.
[23]
Here's your morning job around the economic headlines of the world.
[27]
Starting off here in the U S we have Goldman Sachs getting into the buy.
[31]
Now pay later game acquiring from green sky for two and a quarter
[37]
billion dollars. It's an all stock deal. Just the latest from,
[40]
to get into the buy.
[42]
Now pay later movement really in finance.
[46]
Let's talk about why B N P L is sort of
[51]
a really revolutionary idea across the
[55]
chain of commerce. Well,
[58]
folks have been buying with credit now paying later for years,
[62]
it's not a new concept, but what does it mean in terms of inventory,
[66]
in terms of sales,
[67]
how does it affect the entire chain of the purchase process in a
[72]
traditional system? Let's say you swipe a visa card.
[75]
Visa is really just giving you a cash advance.
[78]
The bank doesn't know what you're buying.
[80]
The merchant knows what you're buying the producer.
[82]
Doesn't really know what you're buying.
[83]
It's really just one part of a transaction in buy.
[86]
Now pay later everyone across the chain,
[90]
since the finances is going upstream to the retailer,
[94]
to the manufacturer, everyone knows exactly what you're buying.
[98]
Everybody knows where the product trends are.
[101]
That's faster information going back up.
[104]
That means that perhaps with a buy now pay later scheme on specific items,
[109]
you can encourage specific sales.
[111]
It's really about transmitting more data across the
[116]
supply chain. Getting more information about what consumers want,
[120]
how they're buying. That is the big moneymaker in buying out pay later.
[124]
So it really is beginning to be a really interesting concept for
[129]
adding value to producers through adding additional ways
[134]
of financing purchases overnight in China.
[137]
This is why we are fairly selective about international stocks,
[142]
huge losses in Macau gaming companies,
[147]
as their licenses are getting renegotiated about
[151]
$18 billion,
[153]
just chopped off of in the market caps of wind Macau of a number of
[158]
other Chinese gambling stocks,
[160]
China increasing regulation on the gambling sector. Listen,
[165]
if you're going to invest in China, one of the risks is, you know,
[170]
government risk it's regulatory risk.
[173]
It's just part of the nature of the game does not look like the
[177]
government is being very friendly to Chinese companies across the board.
[182]
You know, if you have some sectors that haven't been touched yet, you know,
[187]
be mindful that, Hey, we, you know,
[189]
anytime the Chinese government gets involved, you are looking for, you know,
[192]
somewhere between a 10 and 40% haircut on the share price.
[196]
That is certainly a risk you have to take when investing in China.
[201]
It's one of those things where after that comes, if,
[205]
if let's say you have new leaders using ping, eventually leaves office five,
[209]
10 years. We have a new leader who is more of a free market guide. Boy,
[212]
there could be some values out there as prices are just so low price
[217]
earnings ratios are so low. That really becomes a, a value, uh, stock,
[223]
uh, Haven really last minute, at least four, we get you off to a nice Wednesday.
[227]
Walmart has a deal with Ford and Argo AI to start delivering
[232]

[239]

[243]

[246]
