Clapper discusses his career shift from nearly 40 years in the retail car business to focusing on collector car sales and vintage restoration through his dealership, Clapper Motorcars. While the new car day supply is stable at an optimal 61 days, the market shows signs of slowing. Alarming trends include 29% of trade-ins having negative equity, averaging $6,900. High interest rates, reaching 7.5% in 2024, are preventing consumers from chipping away at their loan balances, contributing to this negative equity. Customer loyalty has also dropped significantly—down 25%—due to 80% of customers paying sticker price or more and being charged unexpected fees during shortages.

The conversation delved into the complexities of price-earnings multiples, highlighting the differences between simple and aggregate calculations, as well as market-cap weighted versus equal-weighted P/E ratios. Todd explained the Buffett indicator, which compares total market cap to GDP, and the Schiller P/E, a 10-year inflation-adjusted ratio, both suggesting the market is expensive. They also touched upon the influence of events like the Sarbanes-Oxley Act on the market and discussed the insights of successful investors like Felix Zulauf, who had made accurate market predictions, and the perspective of Jeremy Siegel on potentially permanently higher P/E multiples due to increased money supply Special Guest: Todd Berkley.
