Episode 026 - SummerSlam 2002

Yeah.
J
150:10John PorterGUEST
I've got to just take a minute to have a little rant on this match, a little bit.
J
150:21John PorterGUEST
in a WWE chat room as everyone knows we did for the first episode we were but we were also on the message boards back then that AOL used to have and this match was treated like a meme by some other people on that board because they were into all the Japanese wrestling and the five stars in the Tokyo Dome which is fine Which is fine, but that was it to them.
J
150:46John PorterGUEST
And they took the piss out of this match endlessly because of things like, oh, HBK's doing his little nip-ups and all this.

Beyond the Noise: AGF's New CIO John Porter Talks Investing with Conviction

David PettHOST
I mean- I guess we're part of that during this podcast a little bit, but I'm just wondering how much more difficult has that become in this day and age as opposed to perhaps when you first started your career?
J
9:21John PorterGUEST
If I go back to when I first started 30 years ago, I needed to wait until an hour or so after when the market closed to see how my portfolio had performed that day.
J
9:32John PorterGUEST
It doesn't seem like that long to wait, but compared to now where I have a second by second update of every portfolio at AGF and really anywhere else that I want to compare and contrast this with, that's such a different dynamic having that immediate feedback of, you know, it.
J
9:55John PorterGUEST
What happened? The end of the day, you might end up up 50 base points or down 50 base points, but you've got this roller coaster within the day that you now have visibility that you didn't when I started in the industry 30 years ago, which doesn't seem like that long ago, but it was a different day and age.
J
10:11John PorterGUEST
And I do think that that is... also reflected in the daily news cycle that you're talking about.

David PettHOST
But maybe you can sort of describe that, and it's in the guise of earnings growth being really the real driver here, right? Yeah.

8:54Morgan BrennanHOST
Do you think this is the worst we're going to get in terms of some of that tariff impact here? I mean, what happens if it doesn't actually translate in a meaningful way in the inflation data?
J
9:08John PorterGUEST
Look, inflation and concerns about the impact of tariffs on inflation has been and continues to be a key issue in the market.
J
9:16John PorterGUEST
I think as we've seen as we've gone through the second quarter earnings season, which, as you mentioned, has been a strong one, we've seen that, by and large, companies are doing a very good job navigating this ever-changing tariff landscape.

J
21:33John PorterGUEST
We certainly lived through a bit of a bond market panic from the early days of April to late April.
J
21:43John PorterGUEST
But there's still some challenges to get in front of that we have to navigate in front of us.
J
21:48John PorterGUEST
We're still waiting to see what kind of inflation uptick may happen as a consequence.
Kelly EvansHOST
But what gives you the confidence now that kind of the MAG7, some of these momentum type of names, AI trades and China would be the place to be?
