WEBVTT - Why I STOPPED Trusting Assets In 2024

0:00:00.280 --> 0:00:02.920
<v Speaker 1>Are you really getting wealthier or is it all just

0:00:02.960 --> 0:00:05.360
<v Speaker 1>an illusion? Now, if you're invested in the market and

0:00:05.400 --> 0:00:08.160
<v Speaker 1>you're paying attention, now, you know that we've seen almost

0:00:08.240 --> 0:00:11.280
<v Speaker 1>every single asset class make a new all time high

0:00:11.520 --> 0:00:15.280
<v Speaker 1>at the same time right now, gold stocks, crypto, real estate,

0:00:15.400 --> 0:00:18.320
<v Speaker 1>all of them. But while this is happening, most investors

0:00:18.360 --> 0:00:21.000
<v Speaker 1>are feeling like they're falling further behind. And guess what,

0:00:21.600 --> 0:00:24.960
<v Speaker 1>It's true, But why is that? Well, the truth behind

0:00:25.000 --> 0:00:28.120
<v Speaker 1>these new market highs might actually shock you now real quick,

0:00:28.120 --> 0:00:29.680
<v Speaker 1>if you knew the channel. My name is Mark Moss.

0:00:29.720 --> 0:00:33.160
<v Speaker 1>I've been studying analyzing macroeconomic landscape. I've been helping thousands

0:00:33.159 --> 0:00:36.000
<v Speaker 1>of investors navigate them for about a decade. I speak

0:00:36.040 --> 0:00:37.800
<v Speaker 1>of some of the largest financial conferences in the world,

0:00:37.840 --> 0:00:40.240
<v Speaker 1>and so the comments that I see five thousand comments

0:00:40.240 --> 0:00:42.160
<v Speaker 1>a week, the one hundreds of people I talk to at

0:00:42.159 --> 0:00:44.720
<v Speaker 1>these events, they all ask a very similar question or

0:00:44.720 --> 0:00:47.440
<v Speaker 1>they tell me the same similar problem. But the good

0:00:47.479 --> 0:00:50.080
<v Speaker 1>news is once you understand this, you can fix it,

0:00:50.280 --> 0:00:53.160
<v Speaker 1>because yes, you can build well faster, but only once

0:00:53.200 --> 0:00:55.240
<v Speaker 1>you understand what I'm going to break down. So in

0:00:55.240 --> 0:00:57.760
<v Speaker 1>this video, we're going to break down why do market

0:00:57.800 --> 0:01:01.040
<v Speaker 1>highs not actually translate to actual wealth, health increases, which

0:01:01.120 --> 0:01:04.520
<v Speaker 1>assets are actually outperforming and which ones are just faking it,

0:01:04.720 --> 0:01:07.600
<v Speaker 1>and most importantly, how you can adjust your strategy for

0:01:07.760 --> 0:01:11.039
<v Speaker 1>actual financial growth. So stay tuned, because what you think

0:01:11.080 --> 0:01:14.040
<v Speaker 1>you know about your investments is about to change. It's

0:01:14.040 --> 0:01:15.640
<v Speaker 1>about to be turned upside down, and by the end

0:01:15.640 --> 0:01:17.320
<v Speaker 1>of this video you're going to have the insights and

0:01:17.360 --> 0:01:20.559
<v Speaker 1>strategies you need to secure your financial future. So let's

0:01:20.600 --> 0:01:23.840
<v Speaker 1>go all right, So we're going to talk about the

0:01:23.920 --> 0:01:28.360
<v Speaker 1>illusion of wealth, because there's something that looks like it's there,

0:01:28.400 --> 0:01:30.600
<v Speaker 1>but it's not. What am I talking about. Let's say

0:01:30.800 --> 0:01:35.040
<v Speaker 1>hypothetically that I'm hiking, I'm climbing maybe the tallest mountain

0:01:35.080 --> 0:01:38.280
<v Speaker 1>in the world. Maybe I'm climbing Mount Everest, and I'm climbing,

0:01:38.319 --> 0:01:40.479
<v Speaker 1>and I'm climbing and climbing, and I think the top

0:01:40.600 --> 0:01:43.759
<v Speaker 1>is right there, and I finally get to where I

0:01:43.840 --> 0:01:46.920
<v Speaker 1>taught I think the top is in heavy clouds, and

0:01:47.000 --> 0:01:49.520
<v Speaker 1>I get to up the top and I realize that

0:01:49.920 --> 0:01:51.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm not at the peak. As a matter of fact,

0:01:51.560 --> 0:01:53.320
<v Speaker 1>I still got a long way to go. You see,

0:01:53.520 --> 0:01:55.960
<v Speaker 1>not everything is always as it seems, And so as

0:01:56.000 --> 0:01:58.640
<v Speaker 1>these assets continue to show us this new peak. A

0:01:58.680 --> 0:02:00.680
<v Speaker 1>lot of times we're being faked out. Let me break

0:02:00.680 --> 0:02:03.080
<v Speaker 1>this down for you. So we see all assets at

0:02:03.080 --> 0:02:05.040
<v Speaker 1>all time highs right now at the same time. Now,

0:02:05.040 --> 0:02:07.560
<v Speaker 1>this is not supposed to happen. So stock indexes are

0:02:07.600 --> 0:02:09.760
<v Speaker 1>at all time highs, golds at all time highs. Real

0:02:09.840 --> 0:02:12.120
<v Speaker 1>estate just made a new all time high, bitcoins back

0:02:12.160 --> 0:02:15.040
<v Speaker 1>into all time high territory. And again that's not supposed

0:02:15.040 --> 0:02:18.480
<v Speaker 1>to happen at the same time. So what is going on. Well,

0:02:18.520 --> 0:02:21.639
<v Speaker 1>we have to understand what's really happening. I've put out

0:02:21.680 --> 0:02:23.560
<v Speaker 1>some tweets by the way, for now follow me on Twitter,

0:02:23.639 --> 0:02:26.000
<v Speaker 1>check me out at one Mark Moss. But I talked

0:02:26.000 --> 0:02:29.880
<v Speaker 1>about that maybe the asset bubble isn't an asset bubble.

0:02:30.280 --> 0:02:33.360
<v Speaker 1>Maybe the bubble is not in the asset itself, the

0:02:33.400 --> 0:02:36.400
<v Speaker 1>bubble is in the denominator. Let me show you what

0:02:36.400 --> 0:02:38.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm talking about. I got a bunch of charts. Let's

0:02:38.280 --> 0:02:40.280
<v Speaker 1>run through this as quick as we can. Here. So

0:02:40.440 --> 0:02:44.080
<v Speaker 1>here we have the Consumer Price Index CPI, and of

0:02:44.080 --> 0:02:46.120
<v Speaker 1>course it keeps going higher and high and higher. Gas

0:02:46.120 --> 0:02:49.400
<v Speaker 1>goes up, food goes up, travel goes up. Everything's going higher.

0:02:49.440 --> 0:02:53.400
<v Speaker 1>But as prices go higher. What's really happening is your

0:02:53.440 --> 0:02:56.480
<v Speaker 1>purchasing power is going dead. So you already know this.

0:02:56.520 --> 0:02:57.880
<v Speaker 1>I don't need to go deep into this. But it's

0:02:57.880 --> 0:03:00.040
<v Speaker 1>not that things are getting more expensive. It's that the

0:03:00.120 --> 0:03:03.960
<v Speaker 1>purchasing power of your dollar, your currency units have gone down.

0:03:04.240 --> 0:03:07.160
<v Speaker 1>You can see how they work in perfect unison. Now

0:03:07.200 --> 0:03:10.359
<v Speaker 1>you have to understand that. If you want to understand,

0:03:10.440 --> 0:03:13.639
<v Speaker 1>you're investing in building wealth. Now, why is it doing this?

0:03:13.919 --> 0:03:16.919
<v Speaker 1>Why are those purchasing power units going down? Well, it's

0:03:16.960 --> 0:03:20.399
<v Speaker 1>because the government continues to increase their debt and look

0:03:20.440 --> 0:03:23.200
<v Speaker 1>at this trend line growth difference. As a matter of fact,

0:03:23.440 --> 0:03:25.359
<v Speaker 1>it took a few hundred years to get to one

0:03:25.400 --> 0:03:29.000
<v Speaker 1>trillion in debt and now we're adding it about every quarter.

0:03:29.320 --> 0:03:31.880
<v Speaker 1>And so as they print these more currency units, they

0:03:31.919 --> 0:03:34.160
<v Speaker 1>buy you less and less, so they go down, but

0:03:34.240 --> 0:03:37.720
<v Speaker 1>the price goes up. Now, once you understand that, you

0:03:37.760 --> 0:03:41.160
<v Speaker 1>can start to understand a couple other things. For example,

0:03:41.520 --> 0:03:44.600
<v Speaker 1>why does it feel like you're actually getting more poor

0:03:45.120 --> 0:03:47.960
<v Speaker 1>when you think on paper, you're getting more wealthy. I

0:03:48.080 --> 0:03:50.800
<v Speaker 1>make more money than I've ever made before, right, my

0:03:51.200 --> 0:03:53.800
<v Speaker 1>assets are worth more than they've ever been. So why

0:03:53.880 --> 0:03:55.880
<v Speaker 1>is it that I feel poor. And the reason why

0:03:56.080 --> 0:04:00.160
<v Speaker 1>is because in purchasing power you're actually going down. I'm

0:04:00.160 --> 0:04:02.640
<v Speaker 1>going to show you exactly at which rate and how

0:04:02.680 --> 0:04:06.160
<v Speaker 1>this mechanic works. But this is why, over time, your

0:04:06.160 --> 0:04:08.960
<v Speaker 1>purchasing power is going down, and so as your pursuing

0:04:09.000 --> 0:04:12.120
<v Speaker 1>power is going down, your rent is going up. This

0:04:12.160 --> 0:04:16.160
<v Speaker 1>is exactly what's happening. And if you want to understand why,

0:04:16.279 --> 0:04:19.400
<v Speaker 1>or more importantly mechanically, how, this is the chart you

0:04:19.440 --> 0:04:22.520
<v Speaker 1>want to look at. So when the governments print more money,

0:04:22.680 --> 0:04:26.599
<v Speaker 1>deficit spending, borrow more, et cetera, it increases the money

0:04:26.600 --> 0:04:29.159
<v Speaker 1>supply in the world what we might call liquidity, the

0:04:29.200 --> 0:04:31.599
<v Speaker 1>liquidity in the system in order to keep the system moving.

0:04:31.880 --> 0:04:33.560
<v Speaker 1>And this is a chart of the S and P

0:04:33.720 --> 0:04:37.160
<v Speaker 1>five hundred and global liquidity. And what we can see

0:04:37.320 --> 0:04:40.480
<v Speaker 1>is that the S and P five hundred moves almost

0:04:40.520 --> 0:04:43.800
<v Speaker 1>exactly with global liquidity, as a matter of fact, about

0:04:43.920 --> 0:04:47.840
<v Speaker 1>ninety five percent correlation. So what does this mean. It

0:04:47.920 --> 0:04:50.640
<v Speaker 1>means it's not really the S and P five hundred

0:04:50.680 --> 0:04:53.160
<v Speaker 1>going up into a bubble. It's the bubble in the

0:04:53.240 --> 0:04:56.560
<v Speaker 1>money supply that's pushing it up, you see. So if

0:04:56.560 --> 0:04:59.920
<v Speaker 1>it's only going up at the rate of money growth,

0:05:00.160 --> 0:05:03.440
<v Speaker 1>you're not actually getting ahead. And this is the problem.

0:05:03.560 --> 0:05:06.359
<v Speaker 1>That's what's really driving prices and so the difference of

0:05:06.440 --> 0:05:09.200
<v Speaker 1>assets and wages. So what we're seeing is assets, the

0:05:09.320 --> 0:05:11.719
<v Speaker 1>S and P five hundred, the real estate in the

0:05:11.800 --> 0:05:14.359
<v Speaker 1>United States, et cetera, are going up at the rate

0:05:14.760 --> 0:05:18.800
<v Speaker 1>of money inflation monetary increase. And what is that, Well,

0:05:18.800 --> 0:05:21.800
<v Speaker 1>it's about eight or nine percent. But your wages go

0:05:21.920 --> 0:05:24.600
<v Speaker 1>up with the rate of growth of GDP growth, which

0:05:24.640 --> 0:05:27.520
<v Speaker 1>is right now about one point six. So your wages

0:05:27.520 --> 0:05:29.560
<v Speaker 1>are going up at one point six but the prices

0:05:29.560 --> 0:05:31.719
<v Speaker 1>of everything are going up at eight or nine percent.

0:05:32.040 --> 0:05:36.080
<v Speaker 1>That's why you're feeling this divide. Okay, but there are

0:05:36.080 --> 0:05:39.159
<v Speaker 1>some golden tickets in here. Okay. Not everything moves up

0:05:39.200 --> 0:05:41.720
<v Speaker 1>the same. Obviously you understand this. Why did TVs and

0:05:41.760 --> 0:05:44.880
<v Speaker 1>computers get cheaper while gasoline and state got more expensive,

0:05:44.880 --> 0:05:47.280
<v Speaker 1>et cetera. Right, So not everything moves up the same.

0:05:47.440 --> 0:05:50.279
<v Speaker 1>Let's run through some different charts now just to illustrate this.

0:05:50.400 --> 0:05:52.679
<v Speaker 1>Let's just take a look at this. So in two

0:05:52.680 --> 0:05:56.600
<v Speaker 1>thousand and eight, when QE quantitative easing started, you can

0:05:56.600 --> 0:05:59.520
<v Speaker 1>see the Fed's balance sheet, the liquidity, the money they

0:05:59.560 --> 0:06:02.960
<v Speaker 1>printed put the liquid in the system. It increased massively,

0:06:03.279 --> 0:06:05.720
<v Speaker 1>So at this point in time, two thousand and eight

0:06:06.080 --> 0:06:09.640
<v Speaker 1>is when everything started taking off. Now again, the S

0:06:09.680 --> 0:06:12.279
<v Speaker 1>and P five hundred basically is just like a proxy

0:06:12.600 --> 0:06:16.800
<v Speaker 1>for inflation. It basically represents the money supply increases. So

0:06:17.240 --> 0:06:18.880
<v Speaker 1>that's not where you're going to make any money. And

0:06:18.960 --> 0:06:22.400
<v Speaker 1>unfortunately for most people, they're just passively investing. As a

0:06:22.440 --> 0:06:25.000
<v Speaker 1>matter of fact, the rise of passive investing has only

0:06:25.040 --> 0:06:27.000
<v Speaker 1>gotten bigger and bigger and bigger. My money goes from

0:06:27.000 --> 0:06:28.960
<v Speaker 1>my paycheck into my mutual funds, my four oh one K,

0:06:29.320 --> 0:06:31.000
<v Speaker 1>and they just put it into the S and P

0:06:31.120 --> 0:06:33.599
<v Speaker 1>five hundred index. That's why you're not making any money.

0:06:33.640 --> 0:06:35.200
<v Speaker 1>Let's take a look at some of this. If I

0:06:35.200 --> 0:06:37.320
<v Speaker 1>look at the S and P five hundred, and I

0:06:37.520 --> 0:06:41.200
<v Speaker 1>divide it by the increase in the money supply. So

0:06:41.440 --> 0:06:43.520
<v Speaker 1>what I can see is there was a peak right

0:06:43.600 --> 0:06:49.440
<v Speaker 1>here back in two thousand and it's never reclaimed its high.

0:06:50.120 --> 0:06:53.640
<v Speaker 1>So since two thousand, your S and P five hundred

0:06:53.680 --> 0:06:57.400
<v Speaker 1>index that you're probably invest into has never reclaimed its high.

0:06:57.640 --> 0:06:59.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's gone up and down, up and down,

0:06:59.640 --> 0:07:02.600
<v Speaker 1>but it's basically flat. Look how flat it's been right

0:07:02.600 --> 0:07:04.360
<v Speaker 1>here now? If we look at the S and P

0:07:04.480 --> 0:07:07.080
<v Speaker 1>five hundred priced and other things. So, for example, the

0:07:07.160 --> 0:07:09.320
<v Speaker 1>S and P five hundred is an asset, just like

0:07:09.560 --> 0:07:11.960
<v Speaker 1>gold or your house or your food is an asset.

0:07:12.120 --> 0:07:14.880
<v Speaker 1>So we can look at your house. How many US

0:07:14.920 --> 0:07:18.040
<v Speaker 1>dollars is your house worth, how many ounces of gold

0:07:18.120 --> 0:07:20.600
<v Speaker 1>is your house worth? How many barrels of oil is

0:07:20.600 --> 0:07:23.000
<v Speaker 1>your house worth? How many bitcoins is your house worse?

0:07:23.040 --> 0:07:25.320
<v Speaker 1>We can look at it price to different things. Now,

0:07:25.800 --> 0:07:27.560
<v Speaker 1>I say this all the time. We don't want money.

0:07:27.760 --> 0:07:31.160
<v Speaker 1>We want the things, the goods and services money buys us.

0:07:31.480 --> 0:07:35.040
<v Speaker 1>We need commodities, we need real things. We need gas,

0:07:35.120 --> 0:07:37.400
<v Speaker 1>we need energy for our house. Right, and so if

0:07:37.400 --> 0:07:39.200
<v Speaker 1>we take a look at the S and P five

0:07:39.320 --> 0:07:42.880
<v Speaker 1>hundred priced in commodities things that we really need, we

0:07:42.960 --> 0:07:46.320
<v Speaker 1>can see that again it's down. So this is why,

0:07:46.440 --> 0:07:49.200
<v Speaker 1>even though your index says it's that new all time highs,

0:07:49.560 --> 0:07:51.960
<v Speaker 1>you feel more poor than ever, because in terms of

0:07:52.200 --> 0:07:55.920
<v Speaker 1>real things that you really need, it's actually losing money.

0:07:55.960 --> 0:07:58.120
<v Speaker 1>You're actually going broke. Now, let's look at it a

0:07:58.160 --> 0:08:01.960
<v Speaker 1>couple other ways. As I said, the case Shiller index

0:08:02.040 --> 0:08:04.640
<v Speaker 1>the United States housing market just hit a new all

0:08:04.680 --> 0:08:08.120
<v Speaker 1>time high last week. Well, did it really, because what

0:08:08.160 --> 0:08:11.400
<v Speaker 1>we can see right here, since the year two thousand,

0:08:11.640 --> 0:08:15.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry, two thousand and eight, homes have never recovered

0:08:16.040 --> 0:08:20.040
<v Speaker 1>their high. Now on paper, yes, my home has never

0:08:20.120 --> 0:08:22.960
<v Speaker 1>been worth more, but when you adjust it for the

0:08:23.120 --> 0:08:26.240
<v Speaker 1>money supply, for the increase in the money, it's actually

0:08:26.400 --> 0:08:29.360
<v Speaker 1>down forty eight percent since two thousand and six, not

0:08:29.360 --> 0:08:31.480
<v Speaker 1>two thousand and So since two thousand and six, my

0:08:31.560 --> 0:08:35.600
<v Speaker 1>home has actually lost forty eight percent of value compared

0:08:35.640 --> 0:08:38.280
<v Speaker 1>to the increase in the money supply. Let's look at

0:08:38.280 --> 0:08:40.439
<v Speaker 1>some other assets though. So the S and P. Five

0:08:40.520 --> 0:08:42.520
<v Speaker 1>hundred is not a good place to be. Real estate

0:08:42.640 --> 0:08:43.719
<v Speaker 1>is not a good place to be. But let me

0:08:43.760 --> 0:08:46.440
<v Speaker 1>say this, first of all, real estate works. First of all,

0:08:46.480 --> 0:08:49.000
<v Speaker 1>real estate would be a horrible investment for us if

0:08:49.000 --> 0:08:50.839
<v Speaker 1>we had to pay cash for homes, but we don't.

0:08:51.000 --> 0:08:53.680
<v Speaker 1>We use leverage, and so that leverage allows us to

0:08:53.679 --> 0:08:56.520
<v Speaker 1>make a higher return. We also get what we call

0:08:56.640 --> 0:09:00.960
<v Speaker 1>inflation debt destruction, so that we can lock in thirty

0:09:01.040 --> 0:09:03.800
<v Speaker 1>year loans. In America, other countries not so lucky that

0:09:03.840 --> 0:09:06.280
<v Speaker 1>inflation destroys that. And then if it's a rental property,

0:09:06.280 --> 0:09:07.600
<v Speaker 1>I let someone else pay it off for me. So

0:09:07.679 --> 0:09:10.480
<v Speaker 1>real estate works and also tax efficiency as well. So

0:09:10.520 --> 0:09:12.600
<v Speaker 1>real estate works because of those four other factors. But

0:09:12.640 --> 0:09:14.199
<v Speaker 1>if I had to pay cash, as I showed you,

0:09:14.240 --> 0:09:16.760
<v Speaker 1>it'd be a horrible investment. But not everything is lost.

0:09:16.760 --> 0:09:19.959
<v Speaker 1>Don't worry, because there's golden tickets. So for example, gold,

0:09:20.360 --> 0:09:23.439
<v Speaker 1>gold is up forty eight percent even in the face

0:09:23.480 --> 0:09:25.440
<v Speaker 1>of all the money printing. So not only has gold

0:09:25.480 --> 0:09:28.080
<v Speaker 1>been able to overcome the loss of the money printing,

0:09:28.240 --> 0:09:30.960
<v Speaker 1>it's up forty eight percent. Sounds pretty good. And then

0:09:31.080 --> 0:09:33.360
<v Speaker 1>what we really have going on is a tech narrative,

0:09:33.640 --> 0:09:36.160
<v Speaker 1>and so the NASDAK, not the SNP five hundred, The

0:09:36.240 --> 0:09:39.480
<v Speaker 1>NASDAK represents most of the tech stocks, and we can

0:09:39.520 --> 0:09:44.200
<v Speaker 1>see since twenty twenty right here, it's up ninety percent

0:09:44.880 --> 0:09:47.280
<v Speaker 1>when adjusted for the money supply, so it's overcome the

0:09:47.280 --> 0:09:50.520
<v Speaker 1>debatement of the money and it's gone up ninety percent

0:09:50.640 --> 0:09:54.640
<v Speaker 1>in real terms. Pretty good, we're getting warmer. What else, well, again,

0:09:54.800 --> 0:09:57.920
<v Speaker 1>following that tech narrative, we can see Bitcoin is up

0:09:57.960 --> 0:10:01.760
<v Speaker 1>since twenty twenty nine hundred undred percent, so it's overcome

0:10:01.800 --> 0:10:04.840
<v Speaker 1>the debasement and it's gone up nine hundred percent just

0:10:04.840 --> 0:10:08.040
<v Speaker 1>since twenty twenty. Then we have in Nvidia, which is

0:10:08.120 --> 0:10:10.559
<v Speaker 1>the most incredible company we've ever seen in the whole

0:10:10.600 --> 0:10:12.680
<v Speaker 1>history of the world. Makes no sense, but here we

0:10:12.720 --> 0:10:15.800
<v Speaker 1>are driven by the tech ai narrative. Since twenty twenty,

0:10:15.840 --> 0:10:20.360
<v Speaker 1>it's up eighteen hundred percent, overcoming the debasement. Now, if

0:10:20.400 --> 0:10:22.080
<v Speaker 1>we look at this, remember I was talking about how

0:10:22.080 --> 0:10:25.360
<v Speaker 1>liquidity is the most important thing to watch and understand,

0:10:25.400 --> 0:10:28.040
<v Speaker 1>and I showed you how liquidity basically moves the S

0:10:28.080 --> 0:10:30.680
<v Speaker 1>and P five hundred up in exact perfect terms. But

0:10:31.000 --> 0:10:34.040
<v Speaker 1>if we take a basket of monetary hedges, which is

0:10:34.080 --> 0:10:38.640
<v Speaker 1>basically gold and bitcoin, we can see that there's only

0:10:38.640 --> 0:10:44.840
<v Speaker 1>an eighty percent correlation. So times like this it's overperformed, overperformed, overperformed,

0:10:45.160 --> 0:10:49.000
<v Speaker 1>and yes it underperforms as well. What this basically tells

0:10:49.080 --> 0:10:51.880
<v Speaker 1>us that for every ten percent increase in global liquidity,

0:10:52.360 --> 0:10:55.800
<v Speaker 1>the sensitivity ratio for gold is one point four, which

0:10:55.800 --> 0:10:59.280
<v Speaker 1>means it goes up by about fourteen percent. The sensitivity

0:10:59.360 --> 0:11:01.600
<v Speaker 1>ratio to biccoin is eight point ninety five, which means

0:11:01.600 --> 0:11:04.319
<v Speaker 1>bitcoin goes up by about ninety percent. So every ten

0:11:04.360 --> 0:11:07.120
<v Speaker 1>percent increase in liquidity, we see bitcoin go up by

0:11:07.360 --> 0:11:11.600
<v Speaker 1>ninety percent. That's exactly what you're seeing here. So again

0:11:12.000 --> 0:11:14.520
<v Speaker 1>this is why you're not feeling it if you don't

0:11:14.640 --> 0:11:18.200
<v Speaker 1>understand this, all right, So what we're really seeing is

0:11:18.200 --> 0:11:21.000
<v Speaker 1>that purchasing power is what we have to look at

0:11:21.000 --> 0:11:24.280
<v Speaker 1>things in, not the value, not the nominal value, not

0:11:24.360 --> 0:11:26.480
<v Speaker 1>that my S and P five hundred index has never

0:11:26.559 --> 0:11:28.600
<v Speaker 1>been higher or my house never been higher, but the

0:11:28.640 --> 0:11:32.520
<v Speaker 1>purchasing power of that. So, for example, in two thousand

0:11:32.520 --> 0:11:35.240
<v Speaker 1>and eight, we saw gold come down with stocks, but

0:11:35.400 --> 0:11:38.800
<v Speaker 1>even though gold came down in US dollar terms, it

0:11:38.880 --> 0:11:42.080
<v Speaker 1>could still buy me more things. So even though the

0:11:42.200 --> 0:11:44.839
<v Speaker 1>US dollar valuing down, the purchasing power went up. So

0:11:44.920 --> 0:11:47.880
<v Speaker 1>we have to retrain our brain to look at things differently. Now,

0:11:47.920 --> 0:11:51.200
<v Speaker 1>like I said, we're seeing assets basically move up at

0:11:51.240 --> 0:11:53.280
<v Speaker 1>the rate of the money supply increase, which is eight

0:11:53.400 --> 0:11:58.080
<v Speaker 1>or nine percent, but wages go up with GDP. Now, GDP,

0:11:58.520 --> 0:12:01.640
<v Speaker 1>as you can see right here, is way down. Now.

0:12:01.640 --> 0:12:04.679
<v Speaker 1>This is since twenty twenty one. Ish. Twenty twenty one,

0:12:05.679 --> 0:12:08.439
<v Speaker 1>we had a seven percent GDP back here in twenty

0:12:08.480 --> 0:12:11.080
<v Speaker 1>t one five percent, six percent, seven percent. Now we're

0:12:11.080 --> 0:12:14.080
<v Speaker 1>at one and a half ish who knows what the

0:12:14.120 --> 0:12:16.280
<v Speaker 1>real numbers are, And you can see we've been pretty

0:12:16.320 --> 0:12:20.079
<v Speaker 1>flatlined for the last several years at the two percent range.

0:12:20.120 --> 0:12:24.040
<v Speaker 1>So while everything's going up by ten percent fifteen percent,

0:12:24.280 --> 0:12:26.800
<v Speaker 1>your wages are not keeping up. So the important thing

0:12:26.840 --> 0:12:30.040
<v Speaker 1>to understand is that we want to look at the

0:12:30.160 --> 0:12:33.160
<v Speaker 1>purchasing power. And when we're looking at our assets, if

0:12:33.160 --> 0:12:37.439
<v Speaker 1>we're only looking at them in the currency, whether that's euro, yen, dollars,

0:12:37.440 --> 0:12:41.760
<v Speaker 1>et cetera, you're being faked out. All these paper gains

0:12:41.840 --> 0:12:46.240
<v Speaker 1>are not real. So knowing this, what's the strategy. Well,

0:12:46.240 --> 0:12:48.880
<v Speaker 1>the strategy is number one, you need to understand that

0:12:49.000 --> 0:12:51.360
<v Speaker 1>you can't just use the unit of account, being that

0:12:51.480 --> 0:12:54.120
<v Speaker 1>via currency dollar, y in euro, et cetera. You need

0:12:54.160 --> 0:12:57.680
<v Speaker 1>to look at these assets in relation to other assets,

0:12:57.720 --> 0:12:59.920
<v Speaker 1>a basket of assets, so again how many ounces of

0:13:00.600 --> 0:13:03.240
<v Speaker 1>how many bitcoin, how many barrels of oil, and then

0:13:03.280 --> 0:13:06.400
<v Speaker 1>you can start to understand the purchasing power of those things.

0:13:07.200 --> 0:13:09.120
<v Speaker 1>You have to understand that we need to keep an

0:13:09.120 --> 0:13:11.800
<v Speaker 1>eye on the money supply, of the liquidity, and not

0:13:11.880 --> 0:13:15.959
<v Speaker 1>the inflation. So the government's like CPI CPI CPI inflation, inflation, inflation,

0:13:16.400 --> 0:13:19.680
<v Speaker 1>that's not what's really driving prices. So again, back when

0:13:19.720 --> 0:13:22.240
<v Speaker 1>everybody thought the market was going to crash down, homes

0:13:22.280 --> 0:13:23.840
<v Speaker 1>were going to crash. Stocks were going to crash. If

0:13:23.880 --> 0:13:26.720
<v Speaker 1>you remember back to late twenty twenty two, early twenty

0:13:26.800 --> 0:13:29.480
<v Speaker 1>twenty three, I was making videos say no, they're not

0:13:29.520 --> 0:13:33.160
<v Speaker 1>going to crash. Why because I was watching the money supply.

0:13:33.760 --> 0:13:39.280
<v Speaker 1>The next strategy is diversification. Now, diversification is something that

0:13:39.320 --> 0:13:42.200
<v Speaker 1>you've been taught by the likes of Ray Dalio and

0:13:42.240 --> 0:13:44.559
<v Speaker 1>of course your mutual fund and your four one ky advisor.

0:13:44.840 --> 0:13:48.280
<v Speaker 1>The problem is that doesn't work. It's not working right now.

0:13:48.600 --> 0:13:50.800
<v Speaker 1>Warren Buffett would tell you to put all your eggs

0:13:50.840 --> 0:13:53.160
<v Speaker 1>in one basket and watch the heck out of that basket.

0:13:53.160 --> 0:13:58.240
<v Speaker 1>And so diversification is really diversification right now, with the

0:13:58.280 --> 0:14:02.200
<v Speaker 1>stage that we're in with rapid monetary based increasing, we

0:14:02.240 --> 0:14:04.760
<v Speaker 1>want to go into assets that will hedge against that.

0:14:05.040 --> 0:14:09.000
<v Speaker 1>And that's specifically this tech narrative again, AI crypto narrative

0:14:09.040 --> 0:14:11.720
<v Speaker 1>with some gold, and so we want you to concentrate

0:14:11.760 --> 0:14:14.520
<v Speaker 1>into that. It's not the time to diversify across the

0:14:14.520 --> 0:14:17.000
<v Speaker 1>broad index of vestment P. Five hundred because the s

0:14:17.040 --> 0:14:19.720
<v Speaker 1>and P. Five hundred ain't going up all right, So

0:14:20.080 --> 0:14:24.680
<v Speaker 1>we don't want to diversify. That's to diversify. We want

0:14:24.680 --> 0:14:27.400
<v Speaker 1>to concentrate then, as I said, we want to ride

0:14:27.440 --> 0:14:30.000
<v Speaker 1>the tech trend AI and bitcoin. It's why I have

0:14:30.040 --> 0:14:35.160
<v Speaker 1>a bitcoin fund. We invest across the entire bitcoin industry,

0:14:35.240 --> 0:14:38.440
<v Speaker 1>all the businesses that are building on and around bitcoin,

0:14:39.280 --> 0:14:41.440
<v Speaker 1>and we're also using AI and a lot of the businesses.

0:14:41.760 --> 0:14:45.280
<v Speaker 1>And then also you can think non traditionally. Obviously I've

0:14:45.280 --> 0:14:47.440
<v Speaker 1>already made the case traditional investments, the S and P

0:14:47.560 --> 0:14:49.800
<v Speaker 1>five hundred it ain't working for you. So we want

0:14:49.840 --> 0:14:52.480
<v Speaker 1>to think non traditionally. So that might be peer to

0:14:52.560 --> 0:14:56.560
<v Speaker 1>peer lending for example, peer to peer businesses. Obviously, yes,

0:14:56.560 --> 0:14:58.640
<v Speaker 1>invest into your own business is going to be the

0:14:58.760 --> 0:15:01.400
<v Speaker 1>highest investment in the you can make. Investing into yourself

0:15:01.440 --> 0:15:04.560
<v Speaker 1>for sure, if you need that. Private equity has been

0:15:04.600 --> 0:15:07.640
<v Speaker 1>outperforming the S and P five hundred by several hundred times.

0:15:07.960 --> 0:15:10.680
<v Speaker 1>Venture capital. Again, I have a bitcoin fund, so we

0:15:10.720 --> 0:15:13.000
<v Speaker 1>invest into that side as well. And then yes, as

0:15:13.040 --> 0:15:16.360
<v Speaker 1>I said yourself, the thing is with investing into yourself

0:15:16.400 --> 0:15:18.600
<v Speaker 1>is no matter what happens to the market, you can't

0:15:18.600 --> 0:15:22.280
<v Speaker 1>take away the improvements you've put into yourself. So anyway,

0:15:22.320 --> 0:15:25.320
<v Speaker 1>hopefully this makes sense. This is why you're being faked out.

0:15:25.640 --> 0:15:28.560
<v Speaker 1>The gains you're seeing on paper are not real. And

0:15:28.600 --> 0:15:30.880
<v Speaker 1>if you don't learn to see this differently and learn

0:15:30.880 --> 0:15:33.320
<v Speaker 1>how to measure it differently, you're never going to get ahead.

0:15:33.320 --> 0:15:36.280
<v Speaker 1>If you continue to diversify against the basket of things

0:15:36.280 --> 0:15:38.760
<v Speaker 1>that are losing value, you're going to keep losing value.

0:15:38.800 --> 0:15:41.880
<v Speaker 1>But if you concentrate into the trends, you're going to

0:15:41.920 --> 0:15:43.520
<v Speaker 1>get ahead. Let me know what you think about this.

0:15:43.880 --> 0:15:48.160
<v Speaker 1>Are you ready to diversify across the basket or are

0:15:48.200 --> 0:15:49.760
<v Speaker 1>you going to concentrate. Let me know diverse fi or
