Don't 2 00:00:39,460 --> 00:00:40,160 Speaker 1: you think? 3 00:00:40,540 --> 00:00:45,379 Speaker 1: I love football? I love football. I love football. What 4 00:00:45,380 --> 00:00:48,640 Speaker 1: I love most is that Katie always sits next to 5 00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:51,820 Speaker 1: me as we watch football and she gets so into 6 00:00:51,820 --> 00:00:54,370 Speaker 1: it without even having a clue why she's into it. 7 00:00:54,380 --> 00:00:56,900 Speaker 1: I just got such a kick out of that. So, 8 00:00:56,900 --> 00:00:58,260 Speaker 1: who are you rooting for today? 9 00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:00,660 Speaker 1: I'm personally rooting for 10 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:04,480 Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay buccaneers. Even though I love Holmes, who's 11 00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:08,100 Speaker 1: the quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs. Um, because I 12 00:01:08,100 --> 00:01:10,730 Speaker 1: just want brady to go out on top. What can 13 00:01:10,730 --> 00:01:11,360 Speaker 1: I say? 14 00:01:11,740 --> 00:01:16,069 Speaker 1: I just want that Anyway. Today, we are going back 15 00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:20,440 Speaker 1: to Suzy school because I think what's happening out there, 16 00:01:20,450 --> 00:01:23,569 Speaker 1: there are so many great lessons for us to learn 17 00:01:23,580 --> 00:01:28,289 Speaker 1: how to be really good investors, how to make money 18 00:01:28,300 --> 00:01:32,220 Speaker 1: in a way that makes sense. And not just flashes, 19 00:01:32,230 --> 00:01:34,160 Speaker 1: just not make a lot of money once and that's 20 00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:37,660 Speaker 1: it or whatever it may be, but slow and steady 21 00:01:37,670 --> 00:01:42,959 Speaker 1: always wins the race. I don't care what anybody says. 22 00:01:42,970 --> 00:01:43,750 Speaker 1: So 23 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:47,310 Speaker 1: I just briefly want to reiterate a few of my 24 00:01:47,310 --> 00:01:51,860 Speaker 1: opinions on Gamestop just so we can see where are 25 00:01:51,860 --> 00:01:53,260 Speaker 1: we right now. 26 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:57,090 Speaker 1: Almost two weeks after this whole thing happened, where do 27 00:01:57,090 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 1: we sit right now? 28 00:01:59,740 --> 00:02:00,460 Speaker 1: You know, 29 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:02,060 Speaker 1: Gamestop 30 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:08,660 Speaker 1: As of Friday was at $63.77 a share. 31 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:10,149 Speaker 1: That 32 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:16,770 Speaker 1: Is a tremendous loss from where it had gone up to. 33 00:02:16,780 --> 00:02:20,390 Speaker 1: And especially given that the average price that everybody bought 34 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:25,250 Speaker 1: into was about $320 a share. That's a big loss. 35 00:02:25,260 --> 00:02:28,660 Speaker 1: It's about an 80% loss. 36 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:32,639 Speaker 1: And while I know that there are people out there 37 00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:37,160 Speaker 1: saying don't sell, don't sell, don't sell. It's very hard 38 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:41,430 Speaker 1: When they're just an everyday person and maybe you invested 39 00:02:41,430 --> 00:02:45,769 Speaker 1: your student loan money or your stimulus check or something 40 00:02:45,780 --> 00:02:49,560 Speaker 1: and you see it go all the way down by 41 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:51,350 Speaker 1: almost 80% 42 00:02:51,740 --> 00:02:54,070 Speaker 1: And then you hear me say well for you to 43 00:02:54,070 --> 00:02:58,360 Speaker 1: just break even, it has to go up 400%. 44 00:02:59,139 --> 00:03:00,660 Speaker 1: It's hard not to sell. 45 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:05,350 Speaker 1: It really is. It's a big lesson to learn 46 00:03:06,340 --> 00:03:10,540 Speaker 1: when you do not have money to lose. And I know, 47 00:03:10,550 --> 00:03:14,050 Speaker 1: I know everybody's out there saying, but susie, this is 48 00:03:14,050 --> 00:03:16,260 Speaker 1: how we're gonna make money. This is how we can 49 00:03:16,270 --> 00:03:20,049 Speaker 1: be for the little guys. Yeah, that's true possibly. 50 00:03:20,540 --> 00:03:23,630 Speaker 1: But the way I personally look at it is this 51 00:03:23,630 --> 00:03:26,810 Speaker 1: is how you can make a lot of money or 52 00:03:26,820 --> 00:03:29,220 Speaker 1: the little amount of money that you may have a 53 00:03:29,220 --> 00:03:34,470 Speaker 1: lot littler in most of the cases. So I ask 54 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,060 Speaker 1: all of you to just watch what happened 55 00:03:37,740 --> 00:03:40,620 Speaker 1: and are you happy you bought? Are you happy that 56 00:03:40,620 --> 00:03:44,630 Speaker 1: you decided not to buy? Do you really think that 57 00:03:44,630 --> 00:03:46,460 Speaker 1: this can be done again? 58 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:51,260 Speaker 1: Really? Maybe. Yes, maybe. No. It's probably changed the way 59 00:03:51,260 --> 00:03:55,730 Speaker 1: of investing forever in many ways, but it's something that 60 00:03:55,730 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 1: I hope most of you 61 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,340 Speaker 1: if you participated in it, I hope you took your 62 00:04:01,340 --> 00:04:03,150 Speaker 1: profits when they were there. 63 00:04:03,540 --> 00:04:05,740 Speaker 1: You know it's a crazy thing. I read that one 64 00:04:05,740 --> 00:04:09,060 Speaker 1: of the people that originated this has lost $30 million 65 00:04:09,060 --> 00:04:10,860 Speaker 1: dollars and he's still holding on. 66 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:14,060 Speaker 1: Really? You didn't want to sell when it was up? 67 00:04:14,070 --> 00:04:16,750 Speaker 1: By $30 million? 68 00:04:17,140 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 1: Are you kidding me? Okay. I just wanted to go 69 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:24,500 Speaker 1: there for a second but where I really want to 70 00:04:24,500 --> 00:04:25,150 Speaker 1: go 71 00:04:25,740 --> 00:04:29,250 Speaker 1: right now in Susie school is to Bitcoin 72 00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:35,250 Speaker 1: because it's just so confusing as to why I'm talking 73 00:04:35,250 --> 00:04:38,770 Speaker 1: about it and why I'm wanting to educate you on 74 00:04:38,770 --> 00:04:42,490 Speaker 1: it a little bit and why I'm encouraging you to 75 00:04:42,490 --> 00:04:46,830 Speaker 1: just experience it in a very small amount of money 76 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,850 Speaker 1: or an amount of money that really doesn't matter to you. 77 00:04:49,940 --> 00:04:51,160 Speaker 1: And so to do that, 78 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:53,550 Speaker 1: I kind of want to start with a story 79 00:04:54,140 --> 00:04:56,900 Speaker 1: and what I learned over all the years that I've 80 00:04:56,900 --> 00:04:57,860 Speaker 1: been doing this. 81 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:02,260 Speaker 1: It was in 1980 when I first became a stockbroker 82 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:04,860 Speaker 1: and back then 83 00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,799 Speaker 1: when you worked for a brokerage firm and you were 84 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:12,260 Speaker 1: there for a long, long time, 85 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,360 Speaker 1: you were known as a dinosaur, 86 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:19,170 Speaker 1: you had been through it all and you were really 87 00:05:19,170 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 1: stayed in your ways 88 00:05:21,339 --> 00:05:22,860 Speaker 1: and back then 89 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,930 Speaker 1: a new type of trading was starting. It had been 90 00:05:26,930 --> 00:05:29,789 Speaker 1: started for a while, but it was hadn't gained the 91 00:05:29,790 --> 00:05:33,659 Speaker 1: popularity that it has today and that was known as 92 00:05:33,670 --> 00:05:35,260 Speaker 1: options training 93 00:05:35,940 --> 00:05:40,550 Speaker 1: And I really took an interest in options and I 94 00:05:40,550 --> 00:05:42,950 Speaker 1: figured out a way to make a lot of money 95 00:05:42,950 --> 00:05:46,859 Speaker 1: for my clients by selling covered calls. We don't need 96 00:05:46,860 --> 00:05:49,979 Speaker 1: to go into what that is. But that's what I 97 00:05:49,980 --> 00:05:51,660 Speaker 1: started to specialise him 98 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:57,360 Speaker 1: And I was very easily making 20-25% for my clients 99 00:05:57,370 --> 00:06:00,310 Speaker 1: on their money. And I wanted to learn from the 100 00:06:00,310 --> 00:06:03,650 Speaker 1: dinosaurs because obviously if this was something that I was 101 00:06:03,660 --> 00:06:04,960 Speaker 1: interested in, 102 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:09,290 Speaker 1: then they could possibly teach me and I'll never forget 103 00:06:09,300 --> 00:06:11,460 Speaker 1: going to them. And ST Susie, 104 00:06:11,940 --> 00:06:15,219 Speaker 1: that's not how you make money for people. This is 105 00:06:15,220 --> 00:06:18,850 Speaker 1: how you do it. We're not interested in options. It's 106 00:06:18,850 --> 00:06:22,620 Speaker 1: not something that we really know much about because this 107 00:06:22,630 --> 00:06:24,360 Speaker 1: is how we invest. 108 00:06:24,940 --> 00:06:28,860 Speaker 1: And I remember thinking to myself at that time, 109 00:06:29,339 --> 00:06:32,250 Speaker 1: man, we should always be open to new things. Things 110 00:06:32,250 --> 00:06:35,330 Speaker 1: are going to change as times go on, things are 111 00:06:35,330 --> 00:06:37,979 Speaker 1: going to change, and we need to know how to 112 00:06:37,980 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 1: take advantage of the change. 113 00:06:40,940 --> 00:06:43,850 Speaker 1: And it's even true to this day, 114 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,670 Speaker 1: you know that a company really needs to know how 115 00:06:47,670 --> 00:06:49,360 Speaker 1: to change itself 116 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,150 Speaker 1: and if there are companies out there 117 00:06:52,540 --> 00:06:55,989 Speaker 1: and they're not on like the right side of change 118 00:06:55,990 --> 00:07:00,089 Speaker 1: and what's happening out there with technology and everything, these 119 00:07:00,089 --> 00:07:02,800 Speaker 1: are companies that probably won't be around, like they used 120 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:03,360 Speaker 1: to be. 121 00:07:03,940 --> 00:07:07,339 Speaker 1: So you always have to be on the right side 122 00:07:07,420 --> 00:07:09,060 Speaker 1: of change. 123 00:07:09,740 --> 00:07:11,450 Speaker 1: The other change 124 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:16,550 Speaker 1: That has happened since I started was that in 1980, 125 00:07:16,940 --> 00:07:21,020 Speaker 1: the baby boomers. Now baby boomers, if you remember, I 126 00:07:21,020 --> 00:07:23,260 Speaker 1: happen to be a baby boomer 127 00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 1: Were those that were born from 1946 to 1964, and 128 00:07:30,450 --> 00:07:35,860 Speaker 1: in 1980 that made most baby boomers between the ages 129 00:07:35,870 --> 00:07:39,150 Speaker 1: of 16 and 34. 130 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,060 Speaker 1: And the reason that that mattered 131 00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:46,840 Speaker 1: is because I remember having a sales meeting every single 132 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:47,560 Speaker 1: Tuesday 133 00:07:48,140 --> 00:07:50,740 Speaker 1: and people would keep saying that people that would be 134 00:07:50,740 --> 00:07:53,360 Speaker 1: giving these talks to teach us how to invest 135 00:07:53,740 --> 00:07:58,450 Speaker 1: is invest with what baby boomers would want to buy 136 00:07:58,940 --> 00:08:02,620 Speaker 1: Stocks that would interest them because it's these baby boomers 137 00:08:02,620 --> 00:08:06,450 Speaker 1: that as they get older will inherit money there, 76 138 00:08:06,450 --> 00:08:09,240 Speaker 1: million of them and Blah Blah Blah Blah, let's gear 139 00:08:09,250 --> 00:08:11,450 Speaker 1: everything towards them. 140 00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:15,060 Speaker 1: All right. And that's kind of what we did. 141 00:08:15,540 --> 00:08:17,760 Speaker 1: But that was 1980. 142 00:08:18,340 --> 00:08:23,050 Speaker 1: We are now in 2021 143 00:08:23,740 --> 00:08:28,060 Speaker 1: and now we need to look at the millennials 144 00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:31,930 Speaker 1: Because the millennials currently make up about 1/3 of the 145 00:08:31,930 --> 00:08:35,590 Speaker 1: workforce in the United States of America. And very shortly 146 00:08:35,590 --> 00:08:39,850 Speaker 1: before you know it, they're going to be making up 75% 147 00:08:39,860 --> 00:08:44,880 Speaker 1: of the work force. And a millennial is somebody that 148 00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:48,960 Speaker 1: was born between 1981 and 1996. 149 00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:53,260 Speaker 1: So that makes them between 25 and 40. Not a 150 00:08:53,260 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 1: whole lot different than the baby boomers back in 1980 151 00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:59,060 Speaker 1: when I first started. 152 00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,060 Speaker 1: And it's these millennials, 153 00:09:02,740 --> 00:09:07,620 Speaker 1: these millennials are about to inherit one of the greatest 154 00:09:07,620 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 1: transfers of wealth out there. If you think about it 155 00:09:11,540 --> 00:09:13,460 Speaker 1: then I'm getting older 156 00:09:13,940 --> 00:09:17,150 Speaker 1: A lot of the baby boomers are getting really older 157 00:09:17,740 --> 00:09:24,250 Speaker 1: and we will transfer our wealth down to who the millennials. 158 00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:28,370 Speaker 1: And so the millennials not only are they making up 159 00:09:28,380 --> 00:09:31,750 Speaker 1: a big part of the workforce and more and more 160 00:09:31,750 --> 00:09:35,390 Speaker 1: every year that passes but they're also going to be 161 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:41,550 Speaker 1: incredibly wealthy, inheriting money from the baby boomers. 162 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:46,650 Speaker 1: What are the millennials interested in today? 163 00:09:47,540 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 1: They are interested in technology, they are interested in innovation 164 00:09:53,010 --> 00:09:56,660 Speaker 1: and they are also interested in Bitcoins, 165 00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:00,960 Speaker 1: they're interested in crypto currency 166 00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:06,600 Speaker 1: and therefore we have to understand their buying power and 167 00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:11,660 Speaker 1: where they could take investments. You just have to understand that. 168 00:10:12,140 --> 00:10:15,810 Speaker 1: But it's not just the millennials that we have to 169 00:10:15,809 --> 00:10:19,570 Speaker 1: look at. We also have to look at what our 170 00:10:19,580 --> 00:10:24,960 Speaker 1: institutions doing today with their money because you know the 171 00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:28,670 Speaker 1: other thing that I learned back in 1980 when I 172 00:10:28,670 --> 00:10:31,360 Speaker 1: first started and I knew absolutely nothing 173 00:10:31,540 --> 00:10:33,849 Speaker 1: about money, nothing 174 00:10:34,740 --> 00:10:38,580 Speaker 1: and people would come and they would become my clients 175 00:10:38,580 --> 00:10:41,230 Speaker 1: because I was the broker of the day and what 176 00:10:41,230 --> 00:10:44,910 Speaker 1: that meant was that everybody that came into Merrill lynch 177 00:10:44,910 --> 00:10:49,079 Speaker 1: that day that did not have a stockbroker, they came 178 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:50,360 Speaker 1: to see you 179 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:54,620 Speaker 1: And it was back in 1980 really the discount brokers 180 00:10:54,620 --> 00:10:58,230 Speaker 1: and 0% commissions and no load mutual funds, they really 181 00:10:58,230 --> 00:11:01,460 Speaker 1: weren't as popular obviously as they are today. 182 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:07,220 Speaker 1: So most people still did business through full service brokerage firms. 183 00:11:07,220 --> 00:11:09,700 Speaker 1: It was the only way to buy and sell Charles 184 00:11:09,700 --> 00:11:12,559 Speaker 1: Schwab was there. But really the majority of people were 185 00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:15,720 Speaker 1: still doing it through the Merrill Lynch's and the Dean 186 00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:17,459 Speaker 1: Witter's and all those people. 187 00:11:17,940 --> 00:11:18,660 Speaker 1: Okay, 188 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:19,450 Speaker 1: okay. 189 00:11:20,140 --> 00:11:22,300 Speaker 1: I realized back then 190 00:11:22,740 --> 00:11:26,640 Speaker 1: that I didn't know anything. And what's great about life 191 00:11:26,650 --> 00:11:28,160 Speaker 1: is when you know something 192 00:11:28,540 --> 00:11:31,790 Speaker 1: and what's greater about life is when, you know, you 193 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:33,160 Speaker 1: don't know something 194 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,550 Speaker 1: and when a client would sit down with me, 195 00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,750 Speaker 1: I would be honest with them. I would say, you 196 00:11:39,750 --> 00:11:44,060 Speaker 1: know what, I don't know about any of this? I'm learning, 197 00:11:44,070 --> 00:11:46,059 Speaker 1: I don't have any money. 198 00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:49,760 Speaker 1: And I remember them saying to me, don't worry, susie, 199 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:53,790 Speaker 1: we have money. That's why we're here. But we also 200 00:11:53,790 --> 00:11:56,260 Speaker 1: know what we want to invest in. 201 00:11:56,740 --> 00:12:00,459 Speaker 1: So just do what I tell you and we'll be fine. 202 00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:04,839 Speaker 1: And that's how I started. And I then started to 203 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:08,600 Speaker 1: realize that there were certain people with large sums of 204 00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:12,280 Speaker 1: money that when they did something I would call up 205 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:15,850 Speaker 1: my other clients and tell them to do the same thing. 206 00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:20,819 Speaker 1: So I was going where the big money was going 207 00:12:20,830 --> 00:12:22,760 Speaker 1: and that made me money 208 00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:26,090 Speaker 1: not all the time, sometimes we lost but the majority 209 00:12:26,090 --> 00:12:27,949 Speaker 1: of the times we did not. 210 00:12:28,540 --> 00:12:33,300 Speaker 1: And so now we have to look at where is 211 00:12:33,300 --> 00:12:37,000 Speaker 1: the big money starting to go? What is starting to 212 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,250 Speaker 1: change for the first time 213 00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:42,660 Speaker 1: since crypto currency has come out. 214 00:12:43,340 --> 00:12:46,250 Speaker 1: I'm one of the things that is starting to change 215 00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:50,360 Speaker 1: is that major corporations 216 00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:55,960 Speaker 1: are putting their cash into Bitcoins. 217 00:12:56,440 --> 00:13:00,550 Speaker 1: That is starting to be a big deal. 218 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:04,460 Speaker 1: It was around August 17 of last year 219 00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:08,050 Speaker 1: when I was just looking at you know certain corporations 220 00:13:08,050 --> 00:13:10,939 Speaker 1: and certain companies and how much cash do they have 221 00:13:10,940 --> 00:13:13,360 Speaker 1: on hand and blah blah blah blah. 222 00:13:13,740 --> 00:13:16,250 Speaker 1: And then I came across this company that had been 223 00:13:16,250 --> 00:13:19,980 Speaker 1: brought to my attention actually and I started to look 224 00:13:19,980 --> 00:13:25,410 Speaker 1: at it and the ceo, he decided that he was 225 00:13:25,410 --> 00:13:26,250 Speaker 1: going to put 226 00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:31,010 Speaker 1: all of the cache of this company, a technology company 227 00:13:31,140 --> 00:13:35,760 Speaker 1: into Bitcoin versus letting it just sit there 228 00:13:36,140 --> 00:13:40,250 Speaker 1: In cash reserves, making like 0.5 229 00:13:40,740 --> 00:13:42,860 Speaker 1: 1% whatever it may have been. 230 00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:47,360 Speaker 1: But I'm thinking to myself that he may just be 231 00:13:47,370 --> 00:13:48,650 Speaker 1: on to something here. 232 00:13:49,140 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 1: So I thought why not give it a try and 233 00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:57,150 Speaker 1: I bought it and paid $145 a share. 234 00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:01,280 Speaker 1: Bitcoin started to go up and up and up and 235 00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:05,290 Speaker 1: I started to notice that as Bitcoin went up the 236 00:14:05,290 --> 00:14:09,220 Speaker 1: price of this stock started to go up and up. 237 00:14:09,220 --> 00:14:15,959 Speaker 1: In fact on Friday, it closed at $806 a share. 238 00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:23,370 Speaker 1: This corporation is playing Bitcoin with its reserves and because 239 00:14:23,370 --> 00:14:25,360 Speaker 1: Bitcoin is going up 240 00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:29,310 Speaker 1: and as Bitcoin going up because corporations are starting to 241 00:14:29,310 --> 00:14:33,350 Speaker 1: put their money into Bitcoin, is this a very interesting 242 00:14:33,350 --> 00:14:35,760 Speaker 1: thing that's happening to Bitcoin 243 00:14:36,540 --> 00:14:39,550 Speaker 1: And then I started to look at other companies such 244 00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:40,860 Speaker 1: as Square, 245 00:14:41,340 --> 00:14:43,560 Speaker 1: Which put one 246 00:14:43,940 --> 00:14:47,320 Speaker 1: of its assets into Bitcoin.
