I'm like, all right, because. 51 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 1: We always talk about market catalysts, and this is an 52 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:48,000 Speaker 1: interesting time. 53 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,840 Speaker 2: August twenty eight. We know that Nvidia will be reporting 54 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,360 Speaker 2: their quarterly earnings. They will knock it out the park. 55 00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:57,320 Speaker 1: They're gonna not wait, all all signs of pointing to that. 56 00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 1: Is this the market catalyst that obviously the nastacle need, 57 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:05,679 Speaker 1: but the overall market in video being an S and P, 58 00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 1: is that the catastm we need. In addition to the 59 00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 1: potential rate cut from the Fed, you're saying pulled back 60 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 1: at least. 61 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 2: For the first half. 62 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,119 Speaker 1: What are you thinking about that at least the first 63 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:18,720 Speaker 1: half of the month. 64 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:21,920 Speaker 2: We're not getting a rate cut. No rate cut. 65 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:27,760 Speaker 4: I'm why would they give it now to skew the 66 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:31,920 Speaker 4: election in one favor or another, Like it's tough? 67 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 2: And then okay. 68 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 4: Credit card debt record high, debt to GDP ratio record high, 69 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 4: the interest rate payments are higher than our military spending. 70 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:46,920 Speaker 4: So if in video is a tooth pick, that's like 71 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 4: keeping the burglars outside of the door. They're just finding 72 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 4: ways to delay the information until later. So now you're 73 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:55,560 Speaker 4: gonna need. 74 00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 1: The unemployment number right, number one, as they're a live 75 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 1: But I'm given the wives we're talking about, right, we're 76 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 1: talking about the prices of products and consumer goods coming down. 77 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:16,360 Speaker 1: These were like when we saw what happened uh last week, 78 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,560 Speaker 1: with that, we can call it a correction. I almost 79 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 1: felt like it was a certainty they're not going to 80 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:25,279 Speaker 1: let this thing go out without doing a cut. And 81 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,040 Speaker 1: everybody is now saying September. You say no, September. 82 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:31,919 Speaker 4: Okay, they were supposed to have eight cuts. We haven't 83 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 4: had six. Six, We haven't had one paper cut, we 84 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:41,440 Speaker 4: had one small abrasion yet, all right, So I think 85 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 4: Nvidia is going to knock it out of the park 86 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:46,159 Speaker 4: though and tell you that we'll be good there. 87 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 2: But I don't think there'll be a cut in September. 88 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:52,320 Speaker 1: If there is one, do you change your stance? 89 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, okay for sure. But based on the. 90 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 3: Should we treat crypto like our given its high volatility? 91 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:04,880 Speaker 3: Is it wise to invest in it for the long 92 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,240 Speaker 3: term considering the unpredictability. 93 00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,200 Speaker 2: I love this question, and let's keep the US side 94 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:11,640 Speaker 2: by side. 95 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:17,200 Speaker 4: The market, crypto and options are all predictable since nineteen 96 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:21,320 Speaker 4: seventy There are fifty two trillion data points of information 97 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:24,520 Speaker 4: that have been put out since the hedge funds are 98 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 4: majorly invested into the top four their stability there. Options 99 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 4: and crypto are only tough or unpredictable if you don't 100 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:34,239 Speaker 4: know what you're doing. 101 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 2: Like the risk of now. If you talked about all coins, 102 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:40,800 Speaker 2: that may be different. 103 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 4: But if you're talking about bitcoin, Ethereum, Cia, Solana, it's 104 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:51,719 Speaker 4: very predictable, very predictable. Options, very predictable. Take the risk 105 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,480 Speaker 4: off of the table. What writes this down. What matters 106 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:58,120 Speaker 4: more than anything is your risk profile on no trade 107 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 4: risk more than twenty percent at maximum. Ideally you want 108 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 4: to risk one point six percent of your account. But 109 00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:08,159 Speaker 4: I don't think the crypto or options market or the 110 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:14,039 Speaker 4: stock market is volatile. Like how they say this great question, 111 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:17,920 Speaker 4: But we've told you for years what to do, and 112 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,280 Speaker 4: you guys have made money for that. And truth be told, 113 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,280 Speaker 4: I made a lot more money than your advisors on 114 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 4: whoever you are paying too by fucking far not that hard. 115 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:27,520 Speaker 2: It's not. 116 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:31,719 Speaker 4: No, Yeah, everything is hard, okay, Like running a media 117 00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:34,360 Speaker 4: company is incredibly tough if you don't study the media 118 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:38,120 Speaker 4: landscape and what to do correct. Kind of like once 119 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:41,440 Speaker 4: you follow a blueprint and have a framework, there's some 120 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:42,360 Speaker 4: semblance of. 121 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,080 Speaker 2: Stability there based off the framework that you create. 122 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:48,560 Speaker 4: Oftentimes traders or investors they want to they heard about 123 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,400 Speaker 4: Solana or a mean coin, and they want to jump 124 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,600 Speaker 4: in like everyone was bowing us up. Thank you for 125 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,360 Speaker 4: everyone who watched the episode last week. But why panic? 126 00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,480 Speaker 4: If you've been listening all year, I don't want to 127 00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:02,840 Speaker 4: talk to you now about what. 128 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 2: Do you think your Japanese carry trade is? Just like Nagasaki? 129 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 2: What are you talking about? Yo? 130 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:10,680 Speaker 4: The games have already been priced. It in August and September. 131 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 4: Should start your investing calendar year? Truth be told, it 132 00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:17,280 Speaker 4: doesn't start in January. Should start in August and September 133 00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 4: when as a pullback. 134 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:24,600 Speaker 1: So I'll say to the part, where should we treat 135 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 1: cryptos like options? I think if you've listened long enough, 136 00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:30,800 Speaker 1: the answer would be no. And here's why you're not 137 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:35,280 Speaker 1: going to treat it like options Because options have expiration dates, 138 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:39,200 Speaker 1: and anytime we've told you to invest in the crypto space, 139 00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:42,400 Speaker 1: specifically bitcoin, we've always told you to hold. 140 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,679 Speaker 2: It long term. And so if you're. 141 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:47,680 Speaker 1: Holding and when we say crypto, I'm really speaking about 142 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:51,840 Speaker 1: bitcoin because outside of that and ethereum, I mean just 143 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,600 Speaker 1: the way that those two alone tells you where the 144 00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:55,760 Speaker 1: top two are and where you should be. 145 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:57,680 Speaker 2: But yeah, you're going to hold this long term? Right? 146 00:07:57,720 --> 00:07:58,720 Speaker 2: You got options? Yeah? 147 00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:00,880 Speaker 1: I mean people are doing day options at this point, 148 00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 1: and if you try that with crypto based on this volatility, 149 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:06,440 Speaker 1: you're going to get hurt and you're going to lose 150 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,960 Speaker 1: some money. And we've seen that happen over the course 151 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:13,080 Speaker 1: of any cycle. When we talk about the having cycles, 152 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:17,760 Speaker 1: we talk about you know, the crypto winters. If you're 153 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,800 Speaker 1: trying to do a trade for six months, I mean, 154 00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:26,240 Speaker 1: when we talk about economic catalysts, can you predict it 155 00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:30,480 Speaker 1: in bitcoin? There might be some similarities, but could you 156 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:32,760 Speaker 1: do it in other cryptos? Probably not? 157 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 2: What would it be? 158 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:37,720 Speaker 1: So I would say, no, you don't treat like options 159 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,040 Speaker 1: obviously for the mayor of fact that there's an expiration 160 00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:43,840 Speaker 1: date on your contracts and you want to keep this 161 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 1: thing in your portfolio for a long term. 162 00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:48,320 Speaker 2: But y'all don't be holding all long term crypto anyway. 163 00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:54,560 Speaker 2: They don't even hold long term. The crazy bro just hold. 164 00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:58,640 Speaker 4: If y'all hold everything for ten years, you're good. This 165 00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:02,240 Speaker 4: is in every business. Like when a person owns a 166 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:05,120 Speaker 4: media company, they don't give up the rights to the 167 00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:06,080 Speaker 4: show year two. 168 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:12,719 Speaker 2: Well some of y'all did on day one, say poographs 169 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:15,240 Speaker 2: and no work. Well, you sign your rights over before 170 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:20,120 Speaker 2: you get started. Well, what do I know, I'm just 171 00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:24,319 Speaker 2: a god.
