1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:02,920 Speaker 1: Are you really getting wealthier or is it all just 2 00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:05,360 Speaker 1: an illusion? Now, if you're invested in the market and 3 00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:08,160 Speaker 1: you're paying attention, now, you know that we've seen almost 4 00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:11,280 Speaker 1: every single asset class make a new all time high 5 00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:15,280 Speaker 1: at the same time right now, gold stocks, crypto, real estate, 6 00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:18,320 Speaker 1: all of them. But while this is happening, most investors 7 00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:21,000 Speaker 1: are feeling like they're falling further behind. And guess what, 8 00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:24,960 Speaker 1: It's true, But why is that? Well, the truth behind 9 00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:28,120 Speaker 1: these new market highs might actually shock you now real quick, 10 00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:29,680 Speaker 1: if you knew the channel. My name is Mark Moss. 11 00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:33,160 Speaker 1: I've been studying analyzing macroeconomic landscape. I've been helping thousands 12 00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:36,000 Speaker 1: of investors navigate them for about a decade. I speak 13 00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:37,800 Speaker 1: of some of the largest financial conferences in the world, 14 00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:40,240 Speaker 1: and so the comments that I see five thousand comments 15 00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:42,160 Speaker 1: a week, the one hundreds of people I talk to at 16 00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:44,720 Speaker 1: these events, they all ask a very similar question or 17 00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:47,440 Speaker 1: they tell me the same similar problem. But the good 18 00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:50,080 Speaker 1: news is once you understand this, you can fix it, 19 00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:53,160 Speaker 1: because yes, you can build well faster, but only once 20 00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:55,240 Speaker 1: you understand what I'm going to break down. So in 21 00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:57,760 Speaker 1: this video, we're going to break down why do market 22 00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:01,040 Speaker 1: highs not actually translate to actual wealth, health increases, which 23 00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:04,520 Speaker 1: assets are actually outperforming and which ones are just faking it, 24 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,600 Speaker 1: and most importantly, how you can adjust your strategy for 25 00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:11,039 Speaker 1: actual financial growth. So stay tuned, because what you think 26 00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:14,040 Speaker 1: you know about your investments is about to change. It's 27 00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:15,640 Speaker 1: about to be turned upside down, and by the end 28 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:17,320 Speaker 1: of this video you're going to have the insights and 29 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:20,559 Speaker 1: strategies you need to secure your financial future. So let's 30 00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:23,840 Speaker 1: go all right, So we're going to talk about the 31 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:28,360 Speaker 1: illusion of wealth, because there's something that looks like it's there, 32 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:30,600 Speaker 1: but it's not. What am I talking about. Let's say 33 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:35,040 Speaker 1: hypothetically that I'm hiking, I'm climbing maybe the tallest mountain 34 00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:38,280 Speaker 1: in the world. Maybe I'm climbing Mount Everest, and I'm climbing, 35 00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:40,479 Speaker 1: and I'm climbing and climbing, and I think the top 36 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,759 Speaker 1: is right there, and I finally get to where I 37 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 1: taught I think the top is in heavy clouds, and 38 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,520 Speaker 1: I get to up the top and I realize that 39 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 1: I'm not at the peak. As a matter of fact, 40 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,320 Speaker 1: I still got a long way to go. You see, 41 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 1: not everything is always as it seems, And so as 42 00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 1: these assets continue to show us this new peak. A 43 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:00,680 Speaker 1: lot of times we're being faked out. Let me break 44 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,080 Speaker 1: this down for you. So we see all assets at 45 00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,040 Speaker 1: all time highs right now at the same time. Now, 46 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,560 Speaker 1: this is not supposed to happen. So stock indexes are 47 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 1: at all time highs, golds at all time highs. Real 48 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,120 Speaker 1: estate just made a new all time high, bitcoins back 49 00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:15,040 Speaker 1: into all time high territory. And again that's not supposed 50 00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:18,480 Speaker 1: to happen at the same time. So what is going on. Well, 51 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,639 Speaker 1: we have to understand what's really happening. I've put out 52 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:23,560 Speaker 1: some tweets by the way, for now follow me on Twitter, 53 00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:26,000 Speaker 1: check me out at one Mark Moss. But I talked 54 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,880 Speaker 1: about that maybe the asset bubble isn't an asset bubble. 55 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:33,360 Speaker 1: Maybe the bubble is not in the asset itself, the 56 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:36,400 Speaker 1: bubble is in the denominator. Let me show you what 57 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:38,240 Speaker 1: I'm talking about. I got a bunch of charts. Let's 58 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 1: run through this as quick as we can. Here. So 59 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:44,080 Speaker 1: here we have the Consumer Price Index CPI, and of 60 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:46,120 Speaker 1: course it keeps going higher and high and higher. Gas 61 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 1: goes up, food goes up, travel goes up. Everything's going higher. 62 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:53,400 Speaker 1: But as prices go higher. What's really happening is your 63 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 1: purchasing power is going dead. So you already know this. 64 00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 1: I don't need to go deep into this. But it's 65 00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,040 Speaker 1: not that things are getting more expensive. It's that the 66 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,960 Speaker 1: purchasing power of your dollar, your currency units have gone down. 67 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 1: You can see how they work in perfect unison. Now 68 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,359 Speaker 1: you have to understand that. If you want to understand, 69 00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:13,639 Speaker 1: you're investing in building wealth. Now, why is it doing this? 70 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,919 Speaker 1: Why are those purchasing power units going down? Well, it's 71 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:20,399 Speaker 1: because the government continues to increase their debt and look 72 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 1: at this trend line growth difference. As a matter of fact, 73 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:25,359 Speaker 1: it took a few hundred years to get to one 74 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 1: trillion in debt and now we're adding it about every quarter. 75 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:31,880 Speaker 1: And so as they print these more currency units, they 76 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 1: buy you less and less, so they go down, but 77 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:37,720 Speaker 1: the price goes up. Now, once you understand that, you 78 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 1: can start to understand a couple other things. For example, 79 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 1: why does it feel like you're actually getting more poor 80 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 1: when you think on paper, you're getting more wealthy. I 81 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 1: make more money than I've ever made before, right, my 82 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,800 Speaker 1: assets are worth more than they've ever been. So why 83 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:55,880 Speaker 1: is it that I feel poor. And the reason why 84 00:03:56,080 --> 00:04:00,160 Speaker 1: is because in purchasing power you're actually going down. I'm 85 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 1: going to show you exactly at which rate and how 86 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:06,160 Speaker 1: this mechanic works. But this is why, over time, your 87 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,960 Speaker 1: purchasing power is going down, and so as your pursuing 88 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:12,120 Speaker 1: power is going down, your rent is going up. This 89 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:16,160 Speaker 1: is exactly what's happening. And if you want to understand why, 90 00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 1: or more importantly mechanically, how, this is the chart you 91 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,520 Speaker 1: want to look at. So when the governments print more money, 92 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:26,599 Speaker 1: deficit spending, borrow more, et cetera, it increases the money 93 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,159 Speaker 1: supply in the world what we might call liquidity, the 94 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,599 Speaker 1: liquidity in the system in order to keep the system moving. 95 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:33,560 Speaker 1: And this is a chart of the S and P 96 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:37,160 Speaker 1: five hundred and global liquidity. And what we can see 97 00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:40,480 Speaker 1: is that the S and P five hundred moves almost 98 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,800 Speaker 1: exactly with global liquidity, as a matter of fact, about 99 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:47,840 Speaker 1: ninety five percent correlation. So what does this mean. It 100 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,640 Speaker 1: means it's not really the S and P five hundred 101 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,160 Speaker 1: going up into a bubble. It's the bubble in the 102 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:56,560 Speaker 1: money supply that's pushing it up, you see. So if 103 00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,920 Speaker 1: it's only going up at the rate of money growth, 104 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 1: you're not actually getting ahead. And this is the problem. 105 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,359 Speaker 1: That's what's really driving prices and so the difference of 106 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,200 Speaker 1: assets and wages. So what we're seeing is assets, the 107 00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,719 Speaker 1: S and P five hundred, the real estate in the 108 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,359 Speaker 1: United States, et cetera, are going up at the rate 109 00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:18,800 Speaker 1: of money inflation monetary increase. And what is that, Well, 110 00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,800 Speaker 1: it's about eight or nine percent. But your wages go 111 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,600 Speaker 1: up with the rate of growth of GDP growth, which 112 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:27,520 Speaker 1: is right now about one point six. So your wages 113 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 1: are going up at one point six but the prices 114 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:31,719 Speaker 1: of everything are going up at eight or nine percent. 115 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 1: That's why you're feeling this divide. Okay, but there are 116 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:39,159 Speaker 1: some golden tickets in here. Okay. Not everything moves up 117 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,720 Speaker 1: the same. Obviously you understand this. Why did TVs and 118 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 1: computers get cheaper while gasoline and state got more expensive, 119 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,280 Speaker 1: et cetera. Right, So not everything moves up the same. 120 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,279 Speaker 1: Let's run through some different charts now just to illustrate this. 121 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:52,679 Speaker 1: Let's just take a look at this. So in two 122 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:56,600 Speaker 1: thousand and eight, when QE quantitative easing started, you can 123 00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 1: see the Fed's balance sheet, the liquidity, the money they 124 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,960 Speaker 1: printed put the liquid in the system. It increased massively, 125 00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:05,720 Speaker 1: So at this point in time, two thousand and eight 126 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 1: is when everything started taking off. Now again, the S 127 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,279 Speaker 1: and P five hundred basically is just like a proxy 128 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 1: for inflation. It basically represents the money supply increases. So 129 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:18,880 Speaker 1: that's not where you're going to make any money. And 130 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 1: unfortunately for most people, they're just passively investing. As a 131 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 1: matter of fact, the rise of passive investing has only 132 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 1: gotten bigger and bigger and bigger. My money goes from 133 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:28,960 Speaker 1: my paycheck into my mutual funds, my four oh one K, 134 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:31,000 Speaker 1: and they just put it into the S and P 135 00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:33,599 Speaker 1: five hundred index. That's why you're not making any money. 136 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:35,200 Speaker 1: Let's take a look at some of this. If I 137 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,320 Speaker 1: look at the S and P five hundred, and I 138 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 1: divide it by the increase in the money supply. So 139 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 1: what I can see is there was a peak right 140 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 1: here back in two thousand and it's never reclaimed its high. 141 00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:53,640 Speaker 1: So since two thousand, your S and P five hundred 142 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 1: index that you're probably invest into has never reclaimed its high. 143 00:06:57,640 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 1: I mean, it's gone up and down, up and down, 144 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:02,600 Speaker 1: but it's basically flat. Look how flat it's been right 145 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:04,360 Speaker 1: here now? If we look at the S and P 146 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 1: five hundred priced and other things. So, for example, the 147 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 1: S and P five hundred is an asset, just like 148 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:11,960 Speaker 1: gold or your house or your food is an asset. 149 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,880 Speaker 1: So we can look at your house. How many US 150 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:18,040 Speaker 1: dollars is your house worth, how many ounces of gold 151 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:20,600 Speaker 1: is your house worth? How many barrels of oil is 152 00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,000 Speaker 1: your house worth? How many bitcoins is your house worse? 153 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,320 Speaker 1: We can look at it price to different things. Now, 154 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 1: I say this all the time. We don't want money. 155 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 1: We want the things, the goods and services money buys us. 156 00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:35,040 Speaker 1: We need commodities, we need real things. We need gas, 157 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 1: we need energy for our house. Right, and so if 158 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:39,200 Speaker 1: we take a look at the S and P five 159 00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:42,880 Speaker 1: hundred priced in commodities things that we really need, we 160 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:46,320 Speaker 1: can see that again it's down. So this is why, 161 00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:49,200 Speaker 1: even though your index says it's that new all time highs, 162 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:51,960 Speaker 1: you feel more poor than ever, because in terms of 163 00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:55,920 Speaker 1: real things that you really need, it's actually losing money. 164 00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:58,120 Speaker 1: You're actually going broke. Now, let's look at it a 165 00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 1: couple other ways. As I said, the case Shiller index 166 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,640 Speaker 1: the United States housing market just hit a new all 167 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:08,120 Speaker 1: time high last week. Well, did it really, because what 168 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:11,400 Speaker 1: we can see right here, since the year two thousand, 169 00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, two thousand and eight, homes have never recovered 170 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:20,040 Speaker 1: their high. Now on paper, yes, my home has never 171 00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:22,960 Speaker 1: been worth more, but when you adjust it for the 172 00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:26,240 Speaker 1: money supply, for the increase in the money, it's actually 173 00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:29,360 Speaker 1: down forty eight percent since two thousand and six, not 174 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:31,480 Speaker 1: two thousand and So since two thousand and six, my 175 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:35,600 Speaker 1: home has actually lost forty eight percent of value compared 176 00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:38,280 Speaker 1: to the increase in the money supply. Let's look at 177 00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:40,439 Speaker 1: some other assets though. So the S and P. Five 178 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,520 Speaker 1: hundred is not a good place to be. Real estate 179 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:43,719 Speaker 1: is not a good place to be. But let me 180 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,440 Speaker 1: say this, first of all, real estate works. First of all, 181 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,000 Speaker 1: real estate would be a horrible investment for us if 182 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:50,839 Speaker 1: we had to pay cash for homes, but we don't. 183 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,680 Speaker 1: We use leverage, and so that leverage allows us to 184 00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:56,520 Speaker 1: make a higher return. We also get what we call 185 00:08:56,640 --> 00:09:00,960 Speaker 1: inflation debt destruction, so that we can lock in thirty 186 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,800 Speaker 1: year loans. In America, other countries not so lucky that 187 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:06,280 Speaker 1: inflation destroys that. And then if it's a rental property, 188 00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:07,600 Speaker 1: I let someone else pay it off for me. So 189 00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:10,480 Speaker 1: real estate works and also tax efficiency as well. So 190 00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:12,600 Speaker 1: real estate works because of those four other factors. But 191 00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:14,199 Speaker 1: if I had to pay cash, as I showed you, 192 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:16,760 Speaker 1: it'd be a horrible investment. But not everything is lost. 193 00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:19,959 Speaker 1: Don't worry, because there's golden tickets. So for example, gold, 194 00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:23,439 Speaker 1: gold is up forty eight percent even in the face 195 00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:25,440 Speaker 1: of all the money printing. So not only has gold 196 00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:28,080 Speaker 1: been able to overcome the loss of the money printing, 197 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:30,960 Speaker 1: it's up forty eight percent. Sounds pretty good. And then 198 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,360 Speaker 1: what we really have going on is a tech narrative, 199 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:36,160 Speaker 1: and so the NASDAK, not the SNP five hundred, The 200 00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:39,480 Speaker 1: NASDAK represents most of the tech stocks, and we can 201 00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:44,200 Speaker 1: see since twenty twenty right here, it's up ninety percent 202 00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:47,280 Speaker 1: when adjusted for the money supply, so it's overcome the 203 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:50,520 Speaker 1: debatement of the money and it's gone up ninety percent 204 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 1: in real terms. Pretty good, we're getting warmer. What else, well, again, 205 00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,920 Speaker 1: following that tech narrative, we can see Bitcoin is up 206 00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:01,760 Speaker 1: since twenty twenty nine hundred undred percent, so it's overcome 207 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,840 Speaker 1: the debasement and it's gone up nine hundred percent just 208 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:08,040 Speaker 1: since twenty twenty. Then we have in Nvidia, which is 209 00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:10,559 Speaker 1: the most incredible company we've ever seen in the whole 210 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:12,680 Speaker 1: history of the world. Makes no sense, but here we 211 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,800 Speaker 1: are driven by the tech ai narrative. Since twenty twenty, 212 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:20,360 Speaker 1: it's up eighteen hundred percent, overcoming the debasement. Now, if 213 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:22,080 Speaker 1: we look at this, remember I was talking about how 214 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:25,360 Speaker 1: liquidity is the most important thing to watch and understand, 215 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:28,040 Speaker 1: and I showed you how liquidity basically moves the S 216 00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,680 Speaker 1: and P five hundred up in exact perfect terms. But 217 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:34,040 Speaker 1: if we take a basket of monetary hedges, which is 218 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:38,640 Speaker 1: basically gold and bitcoin, we can see that there's only 219 00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:44,840 Speaker 1: an eighty percent correlation. So times like this it's overperformed, overperformed, overperformed, 220 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:49,000 Speaker 1: and yes it underperforms as well. What this basically tells 221 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:51,880 Speaker 1: us that for every ten percent increase in global liquidity, 222 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,800 Speaker 1: the sensitivity ratio for gold is one point four, which 223 00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:59,280 Speaker 1: means it goes up by about fourteen percent. The sensitivity 224 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,600 Speaker 1: ratio to biccoin is eight point ninety five, which means 225 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:04,319 Speaker 1: bitcoin goes up by about ninety percent. So every ten 226 00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:07,120 Speaker 1: percent increase in liquidity, we see bitcoin go up by 227 00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:11,600 Speaker 1: ninety percent. That's exactly what you're seeing here. So again 228 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,520 Speaker 1: this is why you're not feeling it if you don't 229 00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:18,200 Speaker 1: understand this, all right, So what we're really seeing is 230 00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:21,000 Speaker 1: that purchasing power is what we have to look at 231 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:24,280 Speaker 1: things in, not the value, not the nominal value, not 232 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,480 Speaker 1: that my S and P five hundred index has never 233 00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:28,600 Speaker 1: been higher or my house never been higher, but the 234 00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:32,520 Speaker 1: purchasing power of that. So, for example, in two thousand 235 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:35,240 Speaker 1: and eight, we saw gold come down with stocks, but 236 00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:38,800 Speaker 1: even though gold came down in US dollar terms, it 237 00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:42,080 Speaker 1: could still buy me more things. So even though the 238 00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:44,839 Speaker 1: US dollar valuing down, the purchasing power went up. So 239 00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:47,880 Speaker 1: we have to retrain our brain to look at things differently. Now, 240 00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:51,200 Speaker 1: like I said, we're seeing assets basically move up at 241 00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:53,280 Speaker 1: the rate of the money supply increase, which is eight 242 00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:58,080 Speaker 1: or nine percent, but wages go up with GDP. Now, GDP, 243 00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:01,640 Speaker 1: as you can see right here, is way down. Now. 244 00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:04,679 Speaker 1: This is since twenty twenty one. Ish. Twenty twenty one, 245 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:08,439 Speaker 1: we had a seven percent GDP back here in twenty 246 00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:11,080 Speaker 1: t one five percent, six percent, seven percent. Now we're 247 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:14,080 Speaker 1: at one and a half ish who knows what the 248 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:16,280 Speaker 1: real numbers are, And you can see we've been pretty 249 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:20,079 Speaker 1: flatlined for the last several years at the two percent range. 250 00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:24,040 Speaker 1: So while everything's going up by ten percent fifteen percent, 251 00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:26,800 Speaker 1: your wages are not keeping up. So the important thing 252 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:30,040 Speaker 1: to understand is that we want to look at the 253 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:33,160 Speaker 1: purchasing power. And when we're looking at our assets, if 254 00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:37,439 Speaker 1: we're only looking at them in the currency, whether that's euro, yen, dollars, 255 00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:41,760 Speaker 1: et cetera, you're being faked out. All these paper gains 256 00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:46,240 Speaker 1: are not real. So knowing this, what's the strategy. Well, 257 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:48,880 Speaker 1: the strategy is number one, you need to understand that 258 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,360 Speaker 1: you can't just use the unit of account, being that 259 00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,120 Speaker 1: via currency dollar, y in euro, et cetera. You need 260 00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:57,680 Speaker 1: to look at these assets in relation to other assets, 261 00:12:57,720 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 1: a basket of assets, so again how many ounces of 262 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,240 Speaker 1: how many bitcoin, how many barrels of oil, and then 263 00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:06,400 Speaker 1: you can start to understand the purchasing power of those things. 264 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:09,120 Speaker 1: You have to understand that we need to keep an 265 00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:11,800 Speaker 1: eye on the money supply, of the liquidity, and not 266 00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:15,959 Speaker 1: the inflation. So the government's like CPI CPI CPI inflation, inflation, inflation, 267 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:19,680 Speaker 1: that's not what's really driving prices. So again, back when 268 00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,240 Speaker 1: everybody thought the market was going to crash down, homes 269 00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:23,840 Speaker 1: were going to crash. Stocks were going to crash. If 270 00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,720 Speaker 1: you remember back to late twenty twenty two, early twenty 271 00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:29,480 Speaker 1: twenty three, I was making videos say no, they're not 272 00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:33,160 Speaker 1: going to crash. Why because I was watching the money supply. 273 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:39,280 Speaker 1: The next strategy is diversification. Now, diversification is something that 274 00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:42,200 Speaker 1: you've been taught by the likes of Ray Dalio and 275 00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,559 Speaker 1: of course your mutual fund and your four one ky advisor. 276 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:48,280 Speaker 1: The problem is that doesn't work. It's not working right now. 277 00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:50,800 Speaker 1: Warren Buffett would tell you to put all your eggs 278 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:53,160 Speaker 1: in one basket and watch the heck out of that basket. 279 00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:58,240 Speaker 1: And so diversification is really diversification right now, with the 280 00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:02,200 Speaker 1: stage that we're in with rapid monetary based increasing, we 281 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:04,760 Speaker 1: want to go into assets that will hedge against that. 282 00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:09,000 Speaker 1: And that's specifically this tech narrative again, AI crypto narrative 283 00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:11,720 Speaker 1: with some gold, and so we want you to concentrate 284 00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:14,520 Speaker 1: into that. It's not the time to diversify across the 285 00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:17,000 Speaker 1: broad index of vestment P. Five hundred because the s 286 00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:19,720 Speaker 1: and P. Five hundred ain't going up all right, So 287 00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:24,680 Speaker 1: we don't want to diversify. That's to diversify. We want 288 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:27,400 Speaker 1: to concentrate then, as I said, we want to ride 289 00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:30,000 Speaker 1: the tech trend AI and bitcoin. It's why I have 290 00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:35,160 Speaker 1: a bitcoin fund. We invest across the entire bitcoin industry, 291 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:38,440 Speaker 1: all the businesses that are building on and around bitcoin, 292 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:41,440 Speaker 1: and we're also using AI and a lot of the businesses. 293 00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:45,280 Speaker 1: And then also you can think non traditionally. Obviously I've 294 00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:47,440 Speaker 1: already made the case traditional investments, the S and P 295 00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:49,800 Speaker 1: five hundred it ain't working for you. So we want 296 00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 1: to think non traditionally. So that might be peer to 297 00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:56,560 Speaker 1: peer lending for example, peer to peer businesses. Obviously, yes, 298 00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:58,640 Speaker 1: invest into your own business is going to be the 299 00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:01,400 Speaker 1: highest investment in the you can make. Investing into yourself 300 00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:04,560 Speaker 1: for sure, if you need that. Private equity has been 301 00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:07,640 Speaker 1: outperforming the S and P five hundred by several hundred times. 302 00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:10,680 Speaker 1: Venture capital. Again, I have a bitcoin fund, so we 303 00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:13,000 Speaker 1: invest into that side as well. And then yes, as 304 00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:16,360 Speaker 1: I said yourself, the thing is with investing into yourself 305 00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:18,600 Speaker 1: is no matter what happens to the market, you can't 306 00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:22,280 Speaker 1: take away the improvements you've put into yourself. So anyway, 307 00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:25,320 Speaker 1: hopefully this makes sense. This is why you're being faked out. 308 00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:28,560 Speaker 1: The gains you're seeing on paper are not real. And 309 00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:30,880 Speaker 1: if you don't learn to see this differently and learn 310 00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:33,320 Speaker 1: how to measure it differently, you're never going to get ahead. 311 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,280 Speaker 1: If you continue to diversify against the basket of things 312 00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:38,760 Speaker 1: that are losing value, you're going to keep losing value. 313 00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:41,880 Speaker 1: But if you concentrate into the trends, you're going to 314 00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:43,520 Speaker 1: get ahead. Let me know what you think about this. 315 00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:48,160 Speaker 1: Are you ready to diversify across the basket or are 316 00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:49,760 Speaker 1: you going to concentrate. Let me know diverse fi or 317 00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:52,360 Speaker 1: concentrate in the comments down below. Of course, as always, 318 00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:53,760 Speaker 1: if you like this video, give me thumbs up, and 319 00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:55,560 Speaker 1: if you don't, you can give me thumbs down.
