welcome or welcome back. good tuesday morning good to be back. the markets wrapping up thing fifth trading day of the year on monday today's tuesday. why do we point that out

it may matter. the old wall street adage the market will end the year higher if stocks perform well in the first five sessions. doesn't always happen. old things on wall street. well, if that's true, that's good news because all three indexes gained more than 1% so far in the first five days call it random but important with that, the s&p has ended th year positive 83% of the time it finished the first five trading sessions up. average gain of 14% of the year. that means 17% it did not end the year higher. let's talk about that with david rea. number 6 on the 2022 financial adviser 100 list david, i love that kind of stuff. random but interesting my guess is that's not your comfort talk to your clients who

are nervous over last year don't worry. if my knee hurts when it rains, markets go up. it is still a little bit historically comforting or no? >> sure. you search for anything that is comfortable in the moment. absolutely yes. i would much rather up the first five days than heading down. >> yeah. i suppose if you want to find comfort, it is better we did than we didn't it may not happen. are you surprised by, and we're not making too much over a couple days, but we ended the year weak. are you a little bit surprised by how we started the year at all? >> i know. i'm chuckling because i've been doing this 40 years. i don't get surprised by a whole lot any more i had no expectations with the first five days would bring us and wouldn't be surprised with the next five days i don't

think. >> yeah, the only reason i bring that up and i agree, david, i said the calendar change is nothing like flipping one cal calendar nobody uses calendars. you get my point i do believe from guests and talking to people, we had a lot of tax selling at the end of last year. there actually might be a little bit of a calendar impact this year that might -- i'm trying to come up with a reason why things may flip, not just because we started writing a different date on our checks. >> sure. there is always -- most of the clientele are high worth individuals. we would sell at the end of the year that could be a reason why the first few days of new years are awesome. often do well.

certainly. there could be the technical reason for that. >> yeah. all right. what's your outlook for the year and what are, if you had to say the one or two key things you would put in your bullish and bearish camps? >> outlook for the year, i think is things will be fine again, we're very long-term investors. we've held some stocks for decades at our firm. no way to know what's going to happen in the next, for us, in the next 6 to 12 months. we know the market will probably turn up before the economy bottoms. whether that is next week or in july, don't really know. the long-term trends are really

good you know, if you want to garner 10% returns from stocks in the long run, you have to be -- you have to be willing to take years like last year when they were down 20% i think earnings are still going to be pretty good. we are probably going to have some definite slowing of the economy. i think the macro signals that we see are already indicating a slower economy we may have a recession. we may not you can look around and if you have some cash, there are some good sectors to look at. you asked also about headwinds on the flip side there are things to worry about. we still have an ongoing war in europe and covid and china reopening. we could have a policyerror if

the fed pushes too hard. we may have a slowdown in earnings as always, there are headwinds and tailwinds. we tend to stay invested through those. >> probably to your point, the biggest tailwind of all is time. cash and time are your friend in the market 100 years of history told us that david rea. i appreciate your view calming influence there. serenity now david, thank you have a great day >> thank you, brian. >> namaste still on deck, your morning rbi is back. some may surprise you. we're talking markets and oil and gas and even something about europe which maybe flips things on its head. we are starting to see futures turn up a bit. at least for th.ec we're glad you're up and we're back right after this of the --

promises by the house gop. the bill is not expected to see a vote in the democratic controlledsenate shares of broadcom taking a hit following a report that apple is working on its own modem chips bloomberg says apple the plans to release the first chip at the end of 2024 or early 2025. apple accounts for 20% of broadcom's revenue. another top lieutenant at ftx may look to strike a deal with federal prosecutors bloomberg reports that the former head of engineering is set to be engaging with the u.s. attorney's office in the southern district of new york in hopes of getting a plea agreement. he was a house mate of sam bankman-fried in the bahamas

former chief technology officer gary wang and alameda official caroline ellison have pleaded to fraud charges, brian >> it did not take long for them to flip. sam bankman-fried was on an island and may literally and figuratively be on an island now. silvana henao, thank you. meantime, president biden is set to meet with the leaders of canada and mexico in mexico later on today the three expected to tackle a number of key economic issues with tensions lingering in the background ahead of the sit down kayla tausche is here with more on the areas they plan to focus on >> reporter: brian, the meeting will touch on migration to fentanyl and climate change and policy deliverables later today. with lopez obrador with

investments on chips semiconductors will, in fact, be a focus according to john kirby. >> we will focus on the world of high tech semi conductors and making sure there is enough resilience in the supply chain so the three countries can sustain in those supply chains we saw how it happened over the covid pandemic >> reporter: behind the announcements is a bit of acrimony president biden and president amlo as he is known, is expected to tackle the an energy business ta dispute. shutting out foreign investors and breaching the trade agreement. the national security adviser jake sullivan suggested the parties have identified a path forward, but if not, there could

be up to $30 billion in tariffs on mexico. u.s. alleged the canada barriers for dairy is too high and banning imports on corn. they are saying the u.s. is strict of sourcing of auto parts. the chamber is calling on all of the governments to work toward a quick resolution of the dispute settle pr -- settlement proceedings the top u.s. trade official is not in mexico city this week and the three countries' finance officials meet in washington today with the administration telling me don't expect any br br breakthroughs. brian. >> you are hitting on the key economic issues. human itssues at play. brie jackson reporting criticism

of the biden administration for what appears to be a photo op at the border they cleaned up el paso instead of leaving it the way it was is the border and the fentanyl crisis which killed 100,000 people per year in last few years of the united states, much coming across the border is that a key topic? is there expected to be tension with the president of mexico over this? >> reporter: they are the key topics, brian. there has already been some tension despite the affection the two leaders shoewed last night. the statements were terse in what they actually discussed the u.s. has pursued some symbol i symbolic actions with president biden visiting the border and the administration announcing the 30,000 migrants from venezuela and three other

countries policy and capturing the son of el chapo. there needs to be enforcement. there will be a matter of months to see if these programs are working and if they are effective. there will not be answers coming today. brian. >> kayla tausche thank you, kayla. moving further south mob of supporters of the brazil's former president bolsonaro stormed government buildings this weekend may be a reality check for the economy. the political divide is growing in brazil. it could be a challenge for the newly sworn in and now former president lula the market appears to be contained. their dow climbing after losing yesterday. the currency was one of the top performers among the markets last year. far from ignoring lula's ability

to control the risks, analysts say the focus is on the path of the new economic policy. let's talk more about this with kathryn rooney vera. she is an expert on all things latin america. a lot of comparisons made to what happened in brasilia to what happened here on january 6th two years ago. kathryn? >> there are similarities and significant differences. a lot of the buildings attacked, remember, bolsonaro is not in the country. lula has de facto won. the buildings attacked were empty and they were not -- no impact on government functioning. the riots were roundly condemned by both sides and internationally. it was, as you said, very

contained. it doesn't seem, brian, yet, to spread to other parts of the country. >> okay. that's really good perspective the election was months ago. like ours. lula is basically already in and no justificajustification. people are allowed to protest, but not violently and attacking government buildings even if they are empty lula, i imagine he won the presidency, but he is a convicted felon. he was put in prison for governmental corruption. i imagine there is some frustration and and we are him returning as president >> absolutely. this is a culmination of months of protests, brian these are people that have been protesting outside government offices for months so there's questions of credit

bu creditability. in a democracy that is only 40 years young. this is a relatively young democracy. lula won by a razor thin margin. there are a lot -- there is immense distrust by the populous with the election outcome, but with the institutions in themselves >> brazil, you know, is the biggest country in latin america. it is an important trading partner with china heavily naturally resourced and commodities based. i don't mean this insultingly, but the wall street line on brazil which is brazil is the country of the future and always has been and always will be. if you look at the ewz the etf that mirrors the market. bring up a 5 or 10-year chart.

this was $89 14 years ago. now $28 and change is brazil investable >> sure. it is certainly investable i would say if this remains contained and doesn't produce something similar to a trucker strike and doesn't hit sao p paolo, which is a third of the country with soy and wheat and oil and the trade partners with china reopening and the surge there, i think brazil is nicely poised there are concerns of the credibility of the 11 justices and former president lula who did serve time in jail there are serious concerns here. i think the yield so attractive that emerging market investors and international ones would give brazil a good look.

>> yeah. you know, i've been talking about europe for a youcouple of years. brazil is huge buyers of lng they have hydro power as well. interesting place. kathryn, i appreciate you getting up early have a great day take care. coming up, your morning rbi is back. it's my top five predictions for the markets and other stuff this year i'm going to try to go full nostradamos on your money or look like tcu and go 0 for 5 "worldwide exchange" has the predictions. back in a moment

welcome back if i'm back, that means so is the morning rbi. today's rbi is the top five predictions for the year you may nknow for the last ten years, i have my top five guesses for the year they are based on what i think could happen in markets and economies and whatever's on my mind i take them seriously, but remember this is not investment advice of any kind take that seriously. it's for fun maybe you can tell me how wrong

i was at the end of the year maybe they also help you have a different look at certain things let's go my top five predictions for 2023 number one, s&p 500 ends the year with a small gain this is boring because it is in line with strategists. i like to be on my own thing even though the strategists were wrong last year, this outcome is likely the markets go down rarely two years in a row one jgigantic caveat if the s&p 500 does fall this year, it will likely be more than it fell last year because second year declines while rare, tend to be worse when they happen prediction two oil will pop and nat gas will drop russian rude oil starts to dry up even in recession periods which we are likely entering, global

oil demand is stronger on natural gas, i think prices stay here or move lower. simply no new u.s. export capacity coming online until the middle of next year or 2025. we'll produce more gas and maybe have nowhere to put it number three, i think european stocks beat the u.s. i know this sounds weird no, i have not been drinking given all of the europe energy problems that's exactly the reason this could happen markets often act irrationally european central bankers may need to pivot faster than ours we with we will see what happens with the war. with europe and everything against it -- by the way, jenny hair

harrington agrees. and the next is tiktok gets banned and i think snapchat could pull a twitter and going private. maybe not what investors want thatto hear and finally, electric car sales begin to stall this flips on a prediction from last year where ev sales would boom and hit 10% of the market they did not i just think a bad combination of rising car prices and higher borrowing costs and coming consumer recession and/or slowdown will hit ev sales i think ev sales will grow, but the pace of growth that i think will start to stall out. how many people can afford $75,000 cars and a lot of the tax credits are going away for cars that are basically not maidem made entirely in the united

states my top five. i went 2 and 2 and yet to be determined last year's outlook i did go 5-1 the written article is up on cnbc pro check it out today if you have not, sign up for cnbc pro coming up, jeff kilburg is here with why you want to forget about the dogs of the dow and look to the nasty of the nasdaq. his suggestion why the markets could be poised to pop by the way, follow our podcast. we update it every day we're back right after this.

a recession. i'm in the soft landing camp i'm looking at things optimistically it is the pessimism in the market if we see a little bit of an uptick in the wake of the earnings season, that does body well for the bulls, sully. >> it does by the way, looking at the screens. nvidia is on four different top pick lists only amazon on more with six there is some short-term boost in nvidia as the sales traders are telling to sell. jeff kilburg, love your views. have a great day see you soon. >> you, too. thanks, sully. take care. amazing how quickly it goes. i'll be back here same time tomorrow that does it for us here on "worldwide exchange. have a spectacular tuesday "squawk box" is next
