Why do you say to take this approach? >> Well I mean companies like EOG I mean they're trading at 11 times earnings which is less than the S&P 500 pays a 3% yield. In my opinion it's the best in class as far as a shell shell operator. It's the lowest cost and it's disciplined and they have a real dividend.

For more on what's moving markets, we want to welcome in Adam Lampy, CEO and co-founder of Mint Wealth Management. Adam, thank you so much for joining us this morning. Uh listen, this month has turned out better than many expected for August. We're up whether you're talking about the Dow, S&P 500, or Nasdaq. And really, tech has led the race here. Now, you say you're constructive for the balance of the year, but selective. What does that mean? >> Well, you know, the market is within 1%, maybe 2% of its all-time highs, but we have to be very, I think, you know, precise in what stocks that we pick. I mean, if you look at, you know, some of the the major players out there, whether it be Microsoft, Google, or Broadcom, they represent 18% of the overall, you know, S&P market. And, you know, I look at it as it's more of a supply chain play. You know, you buy into one of those stocks or all three of them, and you're actually, you know, playing into the supply chain. You know, Microsoft doesn't need AI to work. It's it's basically the accelerator. So, it's a it's a great company, and I've been saying all year it's been undervalued, and we've seen it pop just recently. So, you know, even with Google, everybody keeps on on Wall Street keeps on writing its obituary, but they keep on out-earning everyone. So, I think it's interesting. These companies are very well-funded, and a lot of I think the play is going to be here. Who can invest the most in AI is going to play out the best long-term. >> Okay. So, who can play out the best long-term? I'm curious to know a little bit more about your thoughts on Broadcom, especially with the test it has in front of it, with its results, too. >> Well, with Broadcom, you know, every hyperscaler AI roadmap runs through Broadcom's schedule. So, you have to you have to you know I to acknowledge that. Even though it's trading at 60 times earnings uh again you know all the hyperscalers have to go through Broadcom. So it's it's a player. It's a play. Also I also think energy is a play. You know some of these data centers take the same amount of energy that a mid-size city takes. So you've seen energy been really really strong. >> Okay. And so yes I want to get into energy a little bit more here because you suggest when it comes to portfolio construction taking a barbell approach between tech and energy. Tech has certainly taken the center stage once again. Energy though it can be tricky and volatile especially since so much is hinge hinges on geopolitics and you know one day things can be kinetic the next day it's all off and we can see oil prices slide and those that that that correlate to it not do so well. Why do you say to take this approach? >> Well I mean companies like EOG I mean they're trading at 11 times earnings which is less than the S&P 500 pays a 3% yield. In my opinion it's the best in class as far as a shell shell operator. It's the lowest cost and it's disciplined and they have a real dividend. You know I these companies they they are they are they are here to stay and they have strong contracts and that's what I really like. >> Okay. So you like that and then for the AI stocks that you know there are those that everybody likes or even love to hate. You know obviously we think about how well Nvidia has done it recently but is there one that's under the radar that we should be paying more attention to Adam? >> I I think everybody ignores Microsoft and they're you know a franchise that's got name recognition and AI is just going to accelerate their growth. Um I think a lot of these companies that are well-funded, people tend to overlook, but a lot of times they have the best research behind them and the best AI behind them. And so I like those strong just franchises. They should be a real key holdings of a lot of portfolios. >> Uh and then September is notoriously a weak month. Talk us through your expectation for September and through the balance of the year. >> Well, I mean again, I I mentioned being selective and cash still pays, you know, up to 4%. I mean, we're getting 4.1% on some of our money markets right now. Um and so I still think you should have that that that dry powder. And you know, quite frankly, um it's a midterm election year and volatility comes into play. And you know, we've only had about a 9% volatility and typically uh average since 1980s about 13.6%. So, you know, I I expect some more volatility. I mean, I have a client that's in charge of, you know, the Strait of Hormuz uh with Chevron and she's very worried. Um you know, that those are the kind of things that Iran, you know, that that's been disruptive and I don't think it's going to be catastrophic, but it certainly uh played, you know, inflation's creeped up, but at the same time, um you know, uh there we have to look at corporate profit growth. And corporate profit growth are are astronomically good right now. Um and I think that's what's going to really drive this economy. >> All right, thank you, Adam. Appreciate your time this morning. That's Adam Lampy, CEO and co-founder of Mint Wealth Management.
