This is how I kind of explain stocks 34 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:18,240 Speaker 2: when I teach it to my students that it's kind 35 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:21,680 Speaker 2: of like a giant pizza pie, right, with like a 36 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:25,640 Speaker 2: million different slices, and then each slice represents a share 37 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:27,919 Speaker 2: of a company, right. And then if you buy one 38 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 2: slice of Nike, now you're part owner of Nike. 39 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 4: Right. 40 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,320 Speaker 2: And then obviously the more slices that you buy in 41 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,160 Speaker 2: the pie, you have a larger ownership of that pie. 42 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:37,520 Speaker 4: Right. 43 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:41,200 Speaker 2: But all publicly traded companies that's on you know, the 44 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:45,760 Speaker 2: stock market, anybody can become an owner, and by buying ownership, 45 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:49,239 Speaker 2: whether it's in Snapchat or Facebook or Google, now you're 46 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 2: a part owner of that company. And if the company 47 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:53,480 Speaker 2: does well, then the stock price goes up. If it 48 00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:55,920 Speaker 2: doesn't do well, stock price goes down. And that's kind 49 00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,080 Speaker 2: of like a real easy way to understand it. But 50 00:02:59,000 --> 00:02:59,960 Speaker 2: that's kind of my take on it. 51 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,600 Speaker 5: I think that's like the baseline and premise of it. Like, right, 52 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:04,960 Speaker 5: like we want to own shares, like we know what 53 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 5: shares are, then we want to delve into Okay. 54 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,320 Speaker 4: What are we owning? Why are we owning? Right? 55 00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 5: We got the have right we can go to different places, 56 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 5: be it e trade and share, a builder and schwab. 57 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 2: And can we just talk about that because a lot 58 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 2: of people might not know. I'm glad you brought that 59 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:26,760 Speaker 2: up because I get that course to sometlfs too, like 60 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 2: how do you buy stock? So it's relatively easy to 61 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,520 Speaker 2: do now, right, Like they have apps like Robinhood, like 62 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 2: you said, scot Trade. 63 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 3: E Trade stuff like that. 64 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,119 Speaker 2: We you can just go online and create a user name, 65 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,880 Speaker 2: password and you know, the link it to your bank 66 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,000 Speaker 2: account and you can just buy stock. That part is 67 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 2: relatively easy to do. But the next part is what 68 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 2: people stumble because the thing that I think people have 69 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,920 Speaker 2: problems stock is that, Okay, they know how to do it. 70 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 3: But with Stocked, I buy, right, it's kind of like 71 00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 3: just throwing darts at the board blind. 72 00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 2: So what you end up just randomly picking Netflix hoping 73 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 2: it goes up. Right, you have something interested in, you 74 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 2: said to us as far as like when looking at stock, 75 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:06,680 Speaker 2: it's good to mo like what you're interested in? 76 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 3: Can you just talk about that? 77 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 5: I think the biggest thing for me to help me 78 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 5: learn was picking areas of interest because the knowledge sticks. 79 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:16,560 Speaker 4: Right. We all had classes in school. 80 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 5: That we didn't like, Like, we didn't like I didn't 81 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,680 Speaker 5: like earth science and related like, it didn't stick even 82 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:23,680 Speaker 5: though like you know, you passed a class, get a 83 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 5: B or whatever, you ain't get in the class, right, 84 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:28,240 Speaker 5: but the information didn't stick with me because it wasn't 85 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:29,160 Speaker 5: an interesting topic. 86 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,200 Speaker 4: And you, yeah, you kind of want to. 87 00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,880 Speaker 5: Get through it in this forum, right, I want to 88 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 5: pick something that I'm interested in because when I read it, 89 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 5: I'm going to retain it. 90 00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 4: I'm gonna hold on to it, I'm gonna build on 91 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:39,880 Speaker 4: top of it. 92 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 5: So you're kind of an architect, right, I say my 93 00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 5: model for myself every day is that I'm the architect 94 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,760 Speaker 5: of my legacy, right, and every day I'm putting a 95 00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 5: brick down from my legacy because you don't get to 96 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 5: tell people to say we're not here. So the same 97 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,040 Speaker 5: thing goes forward every other place of life, where it's like, 98 00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,520 Speaker 5: all right, I'm the architect of my portfolio, I'm the 99 00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,839 Speaker 5: architect of my knowledge base. I'm the architect of whatever 100 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 5: is I'm doing. I'm building and it's never going to 101 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:06,359 Speaker 5: be finished. Right, It's like a skyscraper. You're just going 102 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 5: to keep on building. On top of building, your interest 103 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:11,680 Speaker 5: is what's going to lead you to adding more bricks, 104 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,920 Speaker 5: Because if you're interested in tech, well, somehow you'll probably 105 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,719 Speaker 5: end up in media, right, And if you're interested in that, 106 00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:20,279 Speaker 5: you might end up in telecom and all so on 107 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,039 Speaker 5: and so forth right, And all of a sudden you 108 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:26,040 Speaker 5: have this wide knowledge base because you started here, but 109 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,479 Speaker 5: your interests help you build more bricks to kind of 110 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,640 Speaker 5: build your mental skyscraper, if that makes sense. So I 111 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:34,159 Speaker 5: always said start there because you want to own the 112 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:38,280 Speaker 5: sexy stuff, right, Facebook, Amazon, Netflix, Google. You want the 113 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 5: sexy Thing'll go to your friends and say, hey, yeah, 114 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,919 Speaker 5: you know, I own Facebook, own ample, right, and sexy 115 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:48,720 Speaker 5: everybody wants to own that. But the most important thing 116 00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:52,040 Speaker 5: is starting off with interest so that you can build 117 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:54,800 Speaker 5: a knowledge base and you can start to build your 118 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 5: own mental skyscraper that's going to hopefully take you places 119 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,800 Speaker 5: financial and mentally where you're growing in both spaces. 120 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 2: So that's like like Warren Buffett like his approaches. He 121 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,719 Speaker 2: he invests in companies that he understands. Yes, right, So 122 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,440 Speaker 2: I always tell kids, like once again in the class, 123 00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:14,800 Speaker 2: like Okay, what do you have on your feet? Everybody 124 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,920 Speaker 2: that has Nike Adidas, right, So it's like, Okay, you 125 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:21,120 Speaker 2: understand the brand because you spend all your money on it, right, 126 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:23,320 Speaker 2: So it's not like it's not foreign to you. Like 127 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:25,880 Speaker 2: you don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure out, Okay, 128 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,160 Speaker 2: Kanye just did a deal with a Didas, or Beyonce 129 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 2: just did a deal with a Didas. Didas is hot 130 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:34,279 Speaker 2: right now? Or Nike lebron signed he got the shortage 131 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,479 Speaker 2: coming out. So these are things that we understand and 132 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,279 Speaker 2: we don't have to be a stock market analyst to 133 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:43,080 Speaker 2: know that I'm already investing money in these companies by 134 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 2: buying why not in the actual company. 135 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:47,800 Speaker 6: In the sense you're you're making the trending, right, So 136 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,159 Speaker 6: there's a reason why that company went up, whether it 137 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,920 Speaker 6: be like the iPhone, right, he'll raise Apple sotoc or 138 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,240 Speaker 6: if Nike's putting on a new product or Dida's put out. 139 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:55,520 Speaker 4: On their product. 140 00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 6: We are the trend nakers, you know what I mean. So, 141 00:06:57,680 --> 00:06:58,920 Speaker 6: like that was one of that's one of the key 142 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 6: things we say. So after we tell them, hey, this 143 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:03,520 Speaker 6: is what a share is, the next thing is like 144 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:07,400 Speaker 6: invest in put money in what you already are invested in. 145 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:09,400 Speaker 4: So if it's Horizon as your phone. 146 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 6: Company, then maybe you should have stock in that, or 147 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 6: if it's Sprint or whoever it is, right, invest in yourself. 148 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 5: Yeah, And that's the biggest thing, right, Like we want 149 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 5: to understand what we invest in. Like, no one likes 150 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 5: an investment where you kind of don't understand what's going on, 151 00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 5: and it's kind of like gambling. Now it's not an investment. 152 00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 5: Now you're just gambling. And for all that you can 153 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:30,320 Speaker 5: go put their money on black and a see hope 154 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:33,120 Speaker 5: for the best. But we look at these companies. It's 155 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:37,120 Speaker 5: very key to understand why a company goes up or 156 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:40,480 Speaker 5: why a company goes down. The stock market is very 157 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:43,160 Speaker 5: similar to fashion. Right, I'm willing to pay the extra 158 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 5: twenty dollars for Nike as opposed to undom or why 159 00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:48,360 Speaker 5: because it's Nike is a little bit cooler, right, and 160 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:51,280 Speaker 5: that's the thing you're paying for. I call it social equity. 161 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:55,320 Speaker 5: What I have on and when I'm dressed in Nike 162 00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:57,640 Speaker 5: adeeda is I have the Gucci I have on product? 163 00:07:57,640 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 5: There's a reason why those items are priced in those spaces. 164 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:02,960 Speaker 5: They know people are buying, right, and we all know 165 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,000 Speaker 5: it's the same factory that makes them, and it is 166 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:06,760 Speaker 5: put a tag going on. But you're willing to spend 167 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:10,200 Speaker 5: one hundred dollars more for this tag, right than the 168 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:13,720 Speaker 5: other tag because you want the social equity of somebody saying, Okay, 169 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,720 Speaker 5: it looks good. Okay, I see him, and that's what 170 00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:18,720 Speaker 5: you're buying. So you have to also know why this 171 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 5: company's going up, why it's going down. 172 00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 4: And that goes back to interest, right, it's what equity 173 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:25,560 Speaker 4: I need to now. 174 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 2: Read you said that you have to learn how to 175 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 2: read and know the interest. Okay, you're interested in one thing, 176 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,400 Speaker 2: but now how do you actually examine to see if 177 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:34,680 Speaker 2: this is actually worth. 178 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:34,960 Speaker 3: Buying or not? 179 00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:35,199 Speaker 4: Right? 180 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:37,760 Speaker 3: So you can read, but like what do you read? 181 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 3: Like what's good? 182 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:41,240 Speaker 2: How do you know if something is actually worth buying 183 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:43,000 Speaker 2: or not? Social equity so. 184 00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:47,520 Speaker 5: Social it's kind of a term I coined myself because 185 00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 5: I always look shopping. 186 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:53,640 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's not sure? Is it something I look at 187 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:55,400 Speaker 4: go shopping or just in life? Right? 188 00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:57,200 Speaker 5: What kind of car you drive? And what kind of 189 00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:58,959 Speaker 5: house do you live in? What town do you live in? 190 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,480 Speaker 5: What do you have in your house? People are very 191 00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:04,760 Speaker 5: much into the social aspect, right, like social media. You 192 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,079 Speaker 5: don't even really see the highlights. So it's like ESPN 193 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:12,400 Speaker 5: Top ten over again. Right, No one ever sks the 194 00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:14,760 Speaker 5: grind and the failure and the ups and the downs 195 00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:16,840 Speaker 5: and the ebbs and the flows. Right, we just see 196 00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:20,400 Speaker 5: somebody pop up and they have all this stuff. How'd 197 00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:20,880 Speaker 5: you get it? 198 00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:21,240 Speaker 4: Right? 199 00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:24,240 Speaker 5: But we don't care what the social equity says. I 200 00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:26,400 Speaker 5: want that now, But you don't understand what that person 201 00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:28,600 Speaker 5: went through to get or how they got or they 202 00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:31,800 Speaker 5: could be lying whatever. It is the ideas that people 203 00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,679 Speaker 5: want to feel accepted. No one ever wants to be 204 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,160 Speaker 5: the dumbest person in the room. People are okay with 205 00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:40,120 Speaker 5: being the second dumbest person in the room because they said, 206 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:42,280 Speaker 5: well you dumber, so you know what, Okay, with him 207 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:44,600 Speaker 5: being dumb. I'm not the numbest person in the room, right, 208 00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:47,880 Speaker 5: but no one ever thinks past that. And so the 209 00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,240 Speaker 5: idea is to get people to critically think because a 210 00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:53,360 Speaker 5: lot of things that we do habitually on their day basis, 211 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,760 Speaker 5: these are our habits, right. We don't ask any questions. 212 00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,160 Speaker 5: Your mom says, when you grow up, brush teeth in 213 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:01,080 Speaker 5: the morning, why not the afternoon. We were never not 214 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:03,319 Speaker 5: programming the question things for a program, just to accept 215 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:05,240 Speaker 5: them the way they are. That's not that that stock 216 00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:08,080 Speaker 5: market works. A stock could be a goodbye and could 217 00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:11,920 Speaker 5: be going down right for other reasons that have nothing 218 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:14,800 Speaker 5: to do with why you think it. 219 00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:16,840 Speaker 4: Should go down or why I think it should go down. 220 00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:19,640 Speaker 2: So that's the part that I'm getting at. So what 221 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,400 Speaker 2: could make it? You know, port range? What can make 222 00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:24,000 Speaker 2: a stock go up? What can make a stock go down? 223 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:27,720 Speaker 2: Other than what's obvious to the naked. 224 00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:29,560 Speaker 4: Eye, right, something like that. 225 00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 5: No, it's just perception, Like think about the market, right, 226 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:35,520 Speaker 5: This all for GAZI Right, So as a CEO will 227 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 5: get certain bonuses if a stock has certain peaks, right 228 00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,880 Speaker 5: this Okay, you're the CEO of ABC company and they'll 229 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,240 Speaker 5: say you listen if you can get the shares up 230 00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:48,120 Speaker 5: to thirty dollars a share and hold it around this 231 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:51,240 Speaker 5: range for four months, we'll give you ten million dollars 232 00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:53,880 Speaker 5: and then so on and so forth with getting the 233 00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:56,680 Speaker 5: share price up. But it's all kind of like a figazi, 234 00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:57,760 Speaker 5: why is it that price? 235 00:10:57,840 --> 00:10:59,200 Speaker 4: Why is up? WHI is it down? Right? 236 00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:02,480 Speaker 5: Forgets supply and demanding volume. A lot of it's just 237 00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:05,320 Speaker 5: perception of the market. It's what the market perceives, what 238 00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:10,080 Speaker 5: big money perceives, what somebody thinks right, we get information. Now, 239 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:13,360 Speaker 5: if you own three shares at Apple and you like 240 00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:17,320 Speaker 5: their third quarter earnings call, he owns one hundred million 241 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:19,280 Speaker 5: dollars Apple and he hates it. Who has more effect 242 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:23,000 Speaker 5: on how the stock goes? He does because he has 243 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:25,520 Speaker 5: more equity in the stock, so he has more say 244 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,040 Speaker 5: so in terms of how it moves. Even though you 245 00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:29,960 Speaker 5: might be right with your three shares, he might be 246 00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:30,840 Speaker 5: wrong in his perception. 247 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:33,120 Speaker 4: Right. So all this stuff is perception based. 248 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:36,760 Speaker 5: And that's why the sweat equity of actually reading and 249 00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:40,720 Speaker 5: engulfing yourself in the subject matter of interest is going 250 00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:44,760 Speaker 5: to help you understand the company. And if you understand Apple, 251 00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:47,160 Speaker 5: it's going to be easy to understand Google. It's going 252 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:49,600 Speaker 5: to be easier to understand Amazon, It's going to be 253 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:53,320 Speaker 5: easier to understand any other kind of tech brand because 254 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,760 Speaker 5: the model of how they distribute their products, their ideas, 255 00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,480 Speaker 5: and their messages. They're not like the same saying, but 256 00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:01,959 Speaker 5: they're similar similar, and it's going to help you pick 257 00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:07,280 Speaker 5: up on ideas. Facebook used and tactic called a little bighorn, right, 258 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:10,520 Speaker 5: And they went into Texas. They went to the University 259 00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:13,720 Speaker 5: of Texas and said, hey, we want to give y'alls Facebook. 260 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:17,640 Speaker 5: The University of Texas said, now, we're University of Texas. 261 00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:18,319 Speaker 4: We're good. 262 00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:22,640 Speaker 5: So they went to Texas A and M Texas State. 263 00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:26,320 Speaker 5: I smu every school in Texas around and gave them Facebook, 264 00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:28,440 Speaker 5: to the point where students at Texas said, Yo, why 265 00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:31,079 Speaker 5: we have Facebook? And the Texas was forced to do 266 00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:34,560 Speaker 5: business with Facebook. That happens in business all the time, right, 267 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,320 Speaker 5: It's something we don't pay attention to. But these triggers 268 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:40,400 Speaker 5: and levers that happened. You'll start to notice as you read. 269 00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:42,800 Speaker 5: And I said, you build the brick, right, you're building. 270 00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:44,520 Speaker 5: When you get to the second floor, you go, I 271 00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:46,480 Speaker 5: get that. Now I can now read the tea leaves. 272 00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:49,400 Speaker 5: I've seen this coming, right, I see what possibly can happen. 273 00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:52,400 Speaker 5: I don't know what's going to happen, but I can 274 00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:54,920 Speaker 5: have an idea based on how well I know it. 275 00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:57,160 Speaker 5: You play ball, If I come down, I go in 276 00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:59,600 Speaker 5: and out. I'm either going to cross or I'm going 277 00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:01,520 Speaker 5: to go straight. So as a defender, you know what 278 00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:03,200 Speaker 5: I'm going to do, or have an idea so you 279 00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:04,040 Speaker 5: can react. 280 00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:06,400 Speaker 4: A little faster. Right, it's the same thing that we 281 00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:07,079 Speaker 4: use every day. 282 00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:09,240 Speaker 6: I'm going to go backward just a little bit because 283 00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:11,959 Speaker 6: you said reading and that's important. On the last episode, 284 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,079 Speaker 6: on episode fourteen, we talked about the importance of reading 285 00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:16,319 Speaker 6: and a lot of times we get discounted because we're 286 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:20,200 Speaker 6: not reading The Catcher and a Rye. Right, what publications 287 00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,240 Speaker 6: should we be reading if we're trying to invest in 288 00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:22,960 Speaker 6: the South market? 289 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:25,640 Speaker 5: I think the Wall Street Journal is good to read. 290 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:28,880 Speaker 5: Barns is a little bit of advanced, but Barons is 291 00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:32,840 Speaker 5: a good place to start to read. I think Financial 292 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:35,880 Speaker 5: Time is a good place to read. I think the Economists, 293 00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:39,280 Speaker 5: even though it's not solely financed dock base, it gives 294 00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:43,000 Speaker 5: you a premise of outside the scope of how we 295 00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:45,000 Speaker 5: think because We think domestically, right, we think about what 296 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:48,600 Speaker 5: affects America and when you're dealing with stocks and companies, 297 00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:51,560 Speaker 5: these are global companies, right, So how does Europe affect 298 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:52,040 Speaker 5: this company? 299 00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:54,800 Speaker 4: How does China affect this company? How does India affect 300 00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:56,520 Speaker 4: this company? We don't think like that. 301 00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:59,600 Speaker 5: We think, Okay, well you have a Horizon service, so 302 00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:02,240 Speaker 5: you figure I'm gonna invest my money in Verizon, right, 303 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:06,080 Speaker 5: because but Verizon's a global brand. So what's going on 304 00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:09,360 Speaker 5: in Australia? What's going on here? We look at the 305 00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:14,120 Speaker 5: country like India. They have a billion people, right, how 306 00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:15,560 Speaker 5: many people in an India do you think have a 307 00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:16,040 Speaker 5: cell phone? 308 00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:22,440 Speaker 4: I'm gonna say fifty million? Yeah, something small number, ten million, 309 00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:25,560 Speaker 4: one hundred, like eight million, hundred and nine million people. 310 00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:26,360 Speaker 4: I have a billion. 311 00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:31,040 Speaker 5: So it's an arms race between Walmart and Apple. The 312 00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,720 Speaker 5: boyst country gets to India because they're building the middle class. 313 00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:35,360 Speaker 4: Right that The same thing was happening in China. 314 00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:38,280 Speaker 6: Imber we spoke up off again about China Moverien and 315 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:40,600 Speaker 6: it was like they're trying to build so much infrastructure 316 00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:43,320 Speaker 6: because they would they almost have two billion people, right, But. 317 00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:45,080 Speaker 4: It's a race to the middle class. Right. 318 00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:47,520 Speaker 5: And but when you look at the company on a 319 00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:49,480 Speaker 5: broad scale, and I look at it like a company 320 00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:51,680 Speaker 5: and I have like Netflix, and I said, okay, do 321 00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:52,320 Speaker 5: really well. 322 00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:53,520 Speaker 4: They have a lot of subcribirds. 323 00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:56,560 Speaker 5: We understand how it works, but they haven't really touched 324 00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:57,640 Speaker 5: Europe or other country. 325 00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:01,400 Speaker 4: So there's growth there that we get you interested. 326 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,320 Speaker 5: Right, And those are the kind of things when you 327 00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:06,640 Speaker 5: start to read about companies, you go count interested now 328 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:08,840 Speaker 5: now mentioned because I know if they're doing well here, 329 00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:12,560 Speaker 5: there's an opportunity here, right. All we want in life 330 00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:14,920 Speaker 5: is options, the same thing everywhere else. 331 00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:17,920 Speaker 4: Right.

Right. 339 00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:31,600 Speaker 5: So the same thing in the market is that understand 340 00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:35,320 Speaker 5: these companies now pull levers and the more you understand 341 00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:38,560 Speaker 5: what you're digesting and investing in, the more options you'll have. 342 00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:40,240 Speaker 4: Now, it's a slow reward. 343 00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:43,120 Speaker 5: This thing is in a I'm going to put money 344 00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:46,320 Speaker 5: in on Monday and be rich on Wednesday. This is 345 00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:50,000 Speaker 5: a character choice when you're talking about starting from scratch, 346 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:53,360 Speaker 5: right in terms of a BILLITINGR portfolio. So now you 347 00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:55,400 Speaker 5: might not see the siege of labor, right. It might 348 00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:58,000 Speaker 5: go to your kids but right, Or it might be 349 00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:00,760 Speaker 5: something that is a passion project and you can only 350 00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:03,160 Speaker 5: fund so much. We'll be realistic, like everybody doesn't have 351 00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:05,840 Speaker 5: one hundred thousand throwing to the market or a million. 352 00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:09,320 Speaker 5: You start winning thousand here, one thousand and there. So 353 00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:11,120 Speaker 5: you have to be patient with it and be patient 354 00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:13,160 Speaker 5: with your own growth, the same way that we're patient 355 00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:14,920 Speaker 5: in life with different things. 356 00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:16,960 Speaker 4: That's gonna lead us into a very interesting yeah. 357 00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:18,960 Speaker 3: All right, So yeah, so now you got the you know, 358 00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:19,960 Speaker 3: the groundwork. 359 00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:22,120 Speaker 2: That was a lot we're going Now we're gonna go 360 00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:24,120 Speaker 2: into the hot topics of the day. 361 00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:25,280 Speaker 4: All right. 362 00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:27,520 Speaker 2: So now we're going to go into some hot topics 363 00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:30,680 Speaker 2: because everybody's been talking about the stock market recently for 364 00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:32,520 Speaker 2: a couple of different companies. 365 00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:35,000 Speaker 3: Lifting Google specifically, a couple others. 366 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:38,720 Speaker 2: Pinterest is another one, Pinterest, But everybody's interested in lifting Google. 367 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:43,160 Speaker 2: They just well lift ipo and Uber is about the 368 00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:47,160 Speaker 2: i po. Right, So everybody's been hitting us up, like, 369 00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:48,920 Speaker 2: can you talk about Lyft? Can you talk about what 370 00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:50,440 Speaker 2: with OPO? Should we buych you? 371 00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:50,760 Speaker 3: You're not so. 372 00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:52,600 Speaker 2: First of all, we're not here to give you stock advice. 373 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:56,040 Speaker 2: We're just here to give you information. And then from 374 00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:58,560 Speaker 2: the information you can you know, do whatever you want. Right, 375 00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:02,960 Speaker 2: So cut all right? The first question is that IPO. Right, 376 00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:07,159 Speaker 2: A lot of people will hit this term, but they're not. 377 00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:09,520 Speaker 2: They don't fully even understand what's. 378 00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:10,920 Speaker 4: Happening itself, gotcha. 379 00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:13,440 Speaker 5: So it's an initial public offering a lot of times 380 00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:16,800 Speaker 5: we see the evaluation for a company and like, is 381 00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:19,119 Speaker 5: that how the product they get? The numbers hold evaluation 382 00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:22,160 Speaker 5: and come from a multiue of things. 383 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:22,840 Speaker 4: The valuation. 384 00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:25,119 Speaker 5: You can look at a company and think that the 385 00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:27,359 Speaker 5: company's worth thirty billion. You can look at a company 386 00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:28,720 Speaker 5: and thinks the company's worth ten billion. 387 00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:28,879 Speaker 4: Right. 388 00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:33,119 Speaker 5: Everybody has a different metrics on what they value stuff. 389 00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:37,040 Speaker 5: And again the evaluation is from without looking inside, right, 390 00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:40,320 Speaker 5: This is just on the outside of your house, like 391 00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:43,720 Speaker 5: the appraisal, right, So it's appraising you. So the evaluation 392 00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:45,280 Speaker 5: could be correct, could not be? 393 00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:47,359 Speaker 2: Because I was gonna say, because right now, Uber is 394 00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:51,119 Speaker 2: possibly they look at a hundred billion. 395 00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:54,200 Speaker 5: Somewhere in the realm, they're gonna come up with the 396 00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:55,800 Speaker 5: high value might be one of the higher ones, right. 397 00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:58,000 Speaker 2: Hundred let's say one hundred billion dollar valuation. That's what 398 00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:01,760 Speaker 2: they're looking at. And they've never made a proper so 399 00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:04,479 Speaker 2: that's another thing, right lift, it's never made a profit. 400 00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:08,720 Speaker 5: So that part of it is like basically, once you 401 00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:11,879 Speaker 5: go an IPO and you haven't made a profit, that 402 00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:14,440 Speaker 5: clock starts taking. Now you got to make a really 403 00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:16,840 Speaker 5: good right, and they'll give you some quarters to kind 404 00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:19,520 Speaker 5: of get your feet wet and stuff together, right, But eventually, 405 00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:23,920 Speaker 5: now you're open to investors and public investors and other 406 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:26,040 Speaker 5: institutions and hedge funds. 407 00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:28,680 Speaker 4: Who all have different motives. You might be a long 408 00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:29,960 Speaker 4: term investor, he. 409 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:31,840 Speaker 5: Might be a hedge from looking to make a quick 410 00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:34,479 Speaker 5: buck or making look make a power play, right, and 411 00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:37,320 Speaker 5: that kind of gets into the market if you awys 412 00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:39,240 Speaker 5: want to think about it. It's like the ocean, right, 413 00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:41,760 Speaker 5: you got sharks, and you have fish, and you have whales, 414 00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:43,879 Speaker 5: and you have eels and you have seals. You have 415 00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:47,000 Speaker 5: all these different creatures. They all have different purposes, right 416 00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:49,480 Speaker 5: the octopus, and they all just want to live their 417 00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:50,200 Speaker 5: life in the ocean. 418 00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:52,120 Speaker 4: They want what they want, right. 419 00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:54,320 Speaker 5: The eel's not worried about what the shark's doing, and 420 00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:56,520 Speaker 5: the shark's not worried about what the coyfish is doing. 421 00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:57,560 Speaker 4: They're all just. 422 00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:01,359 Speaker 5: Living in the same atmosphere. But they have different purposes. 423 00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:03,920 Speaker 5: And that's a stock market. When you start to get 424 00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:08,240 Speaker 5: into the exchange and all these different investors, right, that's 425 00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:11,000 Speaker 5: a deeper dive when you get into this IPO market. 426 00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:13,280 Speaker 5: The company's doing it because they feel like with the 427 00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:15,639 Speaker 5: extra cash, they'll be able to take their company to 428 00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:18,480 Speaker 5: the next level, the same way that you might take 429 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:20,359 Speaker 5: a home equity loan out because you feel like you 430 00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:21,800 Speaker 5: can take your house to the next level and it'll 431 00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:24,359 Speaker 5: raise the evaluation in your house by adding the bathroom 432 00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:26,720 Speaker 5: or adding the kitchen, or adding something to your home, 433 00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:29,399 Speaker 5: right and eventually going to pay that money back, because 434 00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:30,240 Speaker 5: that's a debt. 435 00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:32,960 Speaker 4: Right, they're offering equity, that's debt. They owes money money. 436 00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:35,800 Speaker 5: They use other people's money to take themselves to the 437 00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:39,080 Speaker 5: next level, the same way as people. We take loans 438 00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:41,480 Speaker 5: and credit cards to take ourselves to the next level. 439 00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:43,600 Speaker 4: Companies to do right, we're all owns. 440 00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:45,800 Speaker 5: We're the CEOs or our own companies every day, right, 441 00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:47,480 Speaker 5: so your balance sheet of what you do on a 442 00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:50,760 Speaker 5: daily basis, you're the CEO. You are Rashad as a 443 00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:53,720 Speaker 5: CEO or Rashard co. So decisions you make on a 444 00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:55,960 Speaker 5: daily basis the same way as CEO made decisions for 445 00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,760 Speaker 5: his company. So you start to look at it like that, 446 00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:02,920 Speaker 5: it's all kind of connect together. You know, you're like, Okay, 447 00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:04,960 Speaker 5: I understand why they would do this now because he's 448 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,520 Speaker 5: moving in the best interest the same way that you 449 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:08,480 Speaker 5: would do that, right. 450 00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:12,160 Speaker 2: Like so then also all right, but so Snapchat, right, 451 00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:14,840 Speaker 2: can we talk? They still haven't made a profit, okay, 452 00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:17,840 Speaker 2: and they say that they might never make a profit, 453 00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:20,520 Speaker 2: right yep. So okay, So these companies come into the 454 00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:23,119 Speaker 2: stock market like Uber and Lifting they never made a profit. 455 00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:28,520 Speaker 2: But from my perspective and the easiest way to explain, 456 00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:30,520 Speaker 2: people will still give them a benefit of the doubt 457 00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:33,000 Speaker 2: because they believe in the business model anything. One day 458 00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:35,640 Speaker 2: they will turn a profit, right, But sometimes they don't 459 00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:37,000 Speaker 2: turn a profit like Snapchat. 460 00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:39,159 Speaker 4: So now what it. 461 00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:42,600 Speaker 5: Comes down to potential, Right, at some point in time, 462 00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:47,280 Speaker 5: you get too old to have potential. Right, It's like basketball, 463 00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:49,520 Speaker 5: It's about life, right, Like if I don't get it 464 00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:52,119 Speaker 5: right at seventeen years old, it's like, well, you have 465 00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:53,560 Speaker 5: your whole life ahead of year, and then I don't 466 00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:55,400 Speaker 5: get it right at twenty four, where you're still young. 467 00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:57,359 Speaker 5: I don't get it right at twenty six. Hey you 468 00:20:57,400 --> 00:20:59,320 Speaker 5: kind of on your last legs. I don't get it 469 00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:01,160 Speaker 5: right a thirty five. I like, fam just didn't figure 470 00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:01,400 Speaker 5: it out. 471 00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:04,080 Speaker 6: That's that's what I say, right, Like you have a dude, 472 00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:06,320 Speaker 6: don't make it out there at a certain point in time, 473 00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:08,399 Speaker 6: the potential is going right. 474 00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:10,399 Speaker 5: I can't use that as a as an excuse as 475 00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:13,360 Speaker 5: to why I'm not accomplishing something, And so accept all 476 00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:15,639 Speaker 5: these things in the stock marketing, all these things in 477 00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:19,800 Speaker 5: life kind of tying together. So yeah, on potential, I'm 478 00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:21,679 Speaker 5: going to invest in this company because it can be 479 00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:23,760 Speaker 5: fruitful if I was investing. 480 00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:27,080 Speaker 4: That's what the person's thinking, rather earners.

First part. Second part 531 00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:28,640 Speaker 5: is are they gonna execute? 532 00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:28,880 Speaker 4: Right? 533 00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:32,800 Speaker 5: We understand now, but I believe in the execution. And 534 00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:37,320 Speaker 5: then if they don't execute, what's my next move? Everybody never, 535 00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:39,919 Speaker 5: nobody ever plans a fail. Like people always plan for 536 00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:42,359 Speaker 5: everything to go right. And that's not how life works. 537 00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:43,919 Speaker 5: Right when I was a kid, Okay, I'm gonna get 538 00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:46,400 Speaker 5: my degree at twenty two, I'd be married at twenty five, 539 00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:48,879 Speaker 5: make six figures at twenty six, I'm gonna have a 540 00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:52,720 Speaker 5: kid at thirty. Like that never happens. But life that 541 00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:56,119 Speaker 5: punches you in the mouth, and you know, everybody's journey 542 00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:57,679 Speaker 5: is different. So that's why I said this stuff is 543 00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:01,000 Speaker 5: all kind of like life based, because at the end 544 00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:04,120 Speaker 5: of the day, these journeys these companies are on are 545 00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:07,119 Speaker 5: independent their own. Like the CEO's job is to do 546 00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:09,440 Speaker 5: a certain job with the company and raise capital or 547 00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:13,800 Speaker 5: to take the shares to a certain price, and Adidas 548 00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:17,040 Speaker 5: and a Nike, though they are competitors, they might have 549 00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:20,840 Speaker 5: different you know, operating procedures or different goals of what 550 00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:23,760 Speaker 5: they want to do. And that comes down to like 551 00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:26,399 Speaker 5: looking actually in the company at what they're doing well, 552 00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:30,560 Speaker 5: what they're not doing well, and how their success or 553 00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:34,920 Speaker 5: failure basically affects the ecosystem with which they live in, 554 00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:38,640 Speaker 5: which is the stock market. For example, foot Locker derives 555 00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:41,880 Speaker 5: a lot of the success from Nike, right Nike's a big, 556 00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:46,320 Speaker 5: biggest shoe retailer in terms of sneakers. Twenty seventeen, Nike 557 00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:49,639 Speaker 5: had a very bad fashion year. They didn't hit on 558 00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:52,000 Speaker 5: a lot of different things, right, So they had a 559 00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:56,119 Speaker 5: down year that took Footlocker stock from like seventy to 560 00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:59,280 Speaker 5: thirty bucks to drop like sixty five percent because they're. 561 00:25:59,119 --> 00:25:59,600 Speaker 4: Tied to that. 562 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:02,280 Speaker 5: And then on top of Nike not having a good 563 00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:05,400 Speaker 5: year and an affecting foot Locker, Nike said We're now 564 00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:07,720 Speaker 5: going to directly distribute shoes from Amazon. 565 00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:10,800 Speaker 4: So the market said, oh, you guys are definitely in. 566 00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:14,480 Speaker 5: Trouble now, right, And now you look at Footblocker and 567 00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:17,639 Speaker 5: they've kind of built themselves back. And Nike had a 568 00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:21,160 Speaker 5: better year the two seventies hit and the whole They 569 00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:23,120 Speaker 5: have a bunch of different shoe lines and clothing lines 570 00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:26,440 Speaker 5: that hit that did well, and that ecosystem, right, they're 571 00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:29,440 Speaker 5: doing well affected foot Blocker. So the same I said, 572 00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:32,199 Speaker 5: It's like an ocean, right, the ecosystem and how we 573 00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:36,520 Speaker 5: do things affects everybody. It's important to understand Nike because 574 00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:38,520 Speaker 5: I'm going to understand the DTIs. It's going to help 575 00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:40,800 Speaker 5: me understand under Armour, It's going to help me understand 576 00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:43,040 Speaker 5: foot Locker, it's going to help me understand Sketchers, and 577 00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:45,840 Speaker 5: help me understand all these other companies that are in 578 00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:49,480 Speaker 5: the same ecosystem on a daily basis, and that will 579 00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:52,040 Speaker 5: now affect what I want to invest in if that's 580 00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:53,119 Speaker 5: what I want to invest in. 581 00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:56,840 Speaker 2: So would you recommend like specialty?

It's extensive stuff. 670 00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:55,000 Speaker 5: It's very labor intensive, right, All this stuff is labor intensive. 671 00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:57,440 Speaker 5: So now this comes down to how passionate are you 672 00:30:57,520 --> 00:31:00,360 Speaker 5: about things? So we read the fine press. So I 673 00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:01,400 Speaker 5: want to let people know too. 674 00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:03,280 Speaker 2: A lot of time people have the misconception that you 675 00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:06,160 Speaker 2: have to be wealthy or rich to invest in stock market. 676 00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:08,240 Speaker 5: Right, which is it's not true because the end game 677 00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:11,360 Speaker 5: to the difference on how people think and not everybody 678 00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:14,640 Speaker 5: looks like this, right, money is temporary and it comes 679 00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:19,560 Speaker 5: and goes ebbs and flows. Knowledge is what we're mining here, 680 00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:22,760 Speaker 5: Like we're crafting knowledge, right. I can't take that from you. 681 00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:24,800 Speaker 5: I can't go in your brain and take the knowledge. 682 00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:27,600 Speaker 5: What makes the knowledge powerful is that you can build 683 00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:30,240 Speaker 5: on it or you can share it, and you can 684 00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:32,800 Speaker 5: make other people knowledgeable. And if me and you both 685 00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:35,080 Speaker 5: have to be knowledgeable, well then you have iron and 686 00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:37,600 Speaker 5: shop and iron, right, and that's where it gets powerful. 687 00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:41,920 Speaker 5: And then when I do have the actual capital to 688 00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:46,400 Speaker 5: do things significantly, I'm ready mentally, right, So you can 689 00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:50,840 Speaker 5: have a million dollars and not be sufficiently educated to move, 690 00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:54,920 Speaker 5: so that you can have one thousand dollars and be educated, 691 00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:57,880 Speaker 5: and all you're doing is building your knowledge based until 692 00:31:57,880 --> 00:31:59,880 Speaker 5: that moment comes where you have that money to make 693 00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:05,240 Speaker 5: significant move for yourself. So the ideas we're preaching exposure, 694 00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:08,720 Speaker 5: we're preaching knowledge. Right, we'll keetch your hands in the dirt. 695 00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:12,440 Speaker 5: But it comes down to the individual person. How bad 696 00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:14,920 Speaker 5: do you want to learn the market? How bad do 697 00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:17,360 Speaker 5: you want to be a resource for your friends and family? 698 00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:20,640 Speaker 5: How bad do you want to see your goals happen. 699 00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:24,000 Speaker 5: I don't control that you don't control that. We're all 700 00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:28,680 Speaker 5: CEOs our own companies. So again, bunch of platforms. Right, 701 00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:30,600 Speaker 5: we can give you the names, we can list them 702 00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:32,280 Speaker 5: out by the end of the day, you have to 703 00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:35,000 Speaker 5: do it's best for you. Because I don't wear a 704 00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:37,480 Speaker 5: side small, so I can't try a side small. Surely 705 00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:39,560 Speaker 5: want to tell you if it's not, I'm going to 706 00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:43,160 Speaker 5: excel the same thing for people. These platforms are good 707 00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:45,600 Speaker 5: if you have this amount of money to invest and 708 00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:49,240 Speaker 5: you're looking for this kind of customer service. If you 709 00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:51,840 Speaker 5: don't want any customer service, you want to do it yourself, 710 00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:54,040 Speaker 5: this platform is good if you want to be able 711 00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:56,960 Speaker 5: to walk into a bank brand and have a conversation 712 00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:59,360 Speaker 5: with somebody about different things in the face of it, well, 713 00:32:59,400 --> 00:32:59,920 Speaker 5: this is good. 714 00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:00,280 Speaker 4: Free. 715 00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:04,000 Speaker 5: These things are all quite essential to what it is 716 00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:04,840 Speaker 5: you're looking for. 717 00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:06,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, now I like what you said as far as 718 00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:10,120 Speaker 2: you can't take the knowledge. Because I had one friend 719 00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:14,160 Speaker 2: who he he made he made a million dollars let's 720 00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:16,000 Speaker 2: say roughly like he made a million dollars young, right, 721 00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:18,840 Speaker 2: then he fell on some hard times and he lost 722 00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:21,400 Speaker 2: pretty much all of it. And but another one of 723 00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:22,840 Speaker 2: my friends was talking to him and he was like 724 00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:25,360 Speaker 2: you're going to make a million dollars again easy. And 725 00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:27,320 Speaker 2: when he said that, it was kind of like I 726 00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:29,160 Speaker 2: asked him later, I'm like, why would you say that, 727 00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:31,000 Speaker 2: you don't even know, like it's not easy to make 728 00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:32,800 Speaker 2: a million dollars? Said because he already made it before, 729 00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:36,640 Speaker 2: so he got the information. He understands how to do it. 730 00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:38,320 Speaker 2: Now you just got to do it again. That's like, 731 00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:41,960 Speaker 2: that's the first million. You can't, like you said, you 732 00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:44,280 Speaker 2: can't take somebody's knowledge. Once you have the knowledge to 733 00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:46,000 Speaker 2: do it, you're gonna do it again. 734 00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:48,520 Speaker 5: Well, what makes them dangerous, right, like in terms of 735 00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:50,320 Speaker 5: being able to get that back, is that he has 736 00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:53,680 Speaker 5: knowledge and experience. It's one thing to be a coach 737 00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:56,959 Speaker 5: and coach a sport, but there's another thing to play 738 00:33:57,360 --> 00:33:59,120 Speaker 5: and be in that moment because I can now coach 739 00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:01,160 Speaker 5: from a different angle because I've been in that moment. 740 00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:04,320 Speaker 5: So we watch coaches in the NBA and there's certain 741 00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:06,960 Speaker 5: guys we look at and it's like that dude really 742 00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:09,200 Speaker 5: was never in that moment, So it's hard for him 743 00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:12,600 Speaker 5: to get across this player the significance of the moment 744 00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:15,640 Speaker 5: because he didn't do it or certain guys are not 745 00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:19,440 Speaker 5: able to basically talk and communicate like Michael Jordan's with 746 00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:22,799 Speaker 5: respect is a terrible owner, Like he's not good at 747 00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:25,200 Speaker 5: putting a team together or gym and stuff because he 748 00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:28,800 Speaker 5: was so great, so he can't compute how everybody's not great. 749 00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:31,520 Speaker 5: But Larry Bird is able to get the most out 750 00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:34,080 Speaker 5: of Indiana Pacers all the time. And they might not 751 00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:36,800 Speaker 5: be the most talented players, but Larry Bird was the 752 00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:37,719 Speaker 5: most athletic guy. 753 00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:39,440 Speaker 4: He was just super smart and very skills. 754 00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:42,000 Speaker 5: He's able to understand that and put teams together that 755 00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:46,279 Speaker 5: are not juggernauts, but they're team that you don't well 756 00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:50,200 Speaker 5: can't walk over. It's the same thing, right, like a 757 00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:54,320 Speaker 5: person that has experience plus the knowledge base is always 758 00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:56,359 Speaker 5: going to double up faster. So if I lost that 759 00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:59,040 Speaker 5: million or whatever it is, I can get it back fast. 760 00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:00,800 Speaker 5: But not only do I have the life experience of 761 00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:03,120 Speaker 5: what I went through. So I'm gonna just basically skip 762 00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:05,759 Speaker 5: these hurdles. Right, these mistakes I've made that those are 763 00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:08,080 Speaker 5: out the way. So if I skip these hurdles that 764 00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:10,879 Speaker 5: might have cost me six months in mistakes, that's going 765 00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:14,359 Speaker 5: six months to a million wherever the number is right. 766 00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:17,960 Speaker 5: And that's the power We have to first learn. So 767 00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:21,520 Speaker 5: we're knowledgeable and we're armed. Right, I've armed myself to 768 00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:23,920 Speaker 5: go into battle. I didn't go and I didn't run 769 00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:26,120 Speaker 5: into the battle with nothing in my hands. 770 00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:28,120 Speaker 6: To like, I'm gonna get smarter, and that's I mean, 771 00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:31,920 Speaker 6: that's what we do, right. Nobody teaches us like, especially stocks. 772 00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:34,520 Speaker 6: It's not something that is learned in school. And if 773 00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:37,160 Speaker 6: your parents have never invested in stocks, like, we have 774 00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:38,160 Speaker 6: no armor when we go out. 775 00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:40,880 Speaker 2: So what happens with most of the time most middle 776 00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:44,320 Speaker 2: class people and in our community especially is that people 777 00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:47,239 Speaker 2: are intimidated with things they don't understand, they don't know right, 778 00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:48,920 Speaker 2: So what ends up happening is that if you just 779 00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:51,359 Speaker 2: stay away from it and you say it's over my head, 780 00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:53,920 Speaker 2: I don't want anything to do with it, because, especially 781 00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:55,920 Speaker 2: when it comes to money, people is not gonna invest 782 00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:57,880 Speaker 2: in something or that they don't understand. 783 00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:00,719 Speaker 3: So this is what the podcast is about to fully 784 00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:01,160 Speaker 3: equip you. 785 00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:02,560 Speaker 2: But before we leave, I wanted to talk about a 786 00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:04,439 Speaker 2: couple of different ways where people can invest in stock 787 00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:07,120 Speaker 2: market even if okay, even if you don't want to 788 00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:10,680 Speaker 2: fully dive in and do the research and it may 789 00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:13,440 Speaker 2: not be your forte you can still invest in stock market, right, 790 00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:14,560 Speaker 2: there's other ways to invest. 791 00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:15,720 Speaker 3: So there's like mutual funds. 792 00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:19,399 Speaker 2: Why would allows you to invest in stock market without 793 00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:20,480 Speaker 2: actually investing yourself? 794 00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:21,600 Speaker 3: Right, it is being done for you. 795 00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:24,080 Speaker 2: And a mutual fund is a company like a Franklin, 796 00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:26,120 Speaker 2: Simpleton or Oppenheim, And what they do is they pull 797 00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:28,160 Speaker 2: together let's say one hundred and fifty different stocks and 798 00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:30,719 Speaker 2: one mutual fund, and you pay a fee for that. 799 00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:33,480 Speaker 3: But you're paying a fee because they're doing the work 800 00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:34,280 Speaker 3: for you. Right. 801 00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:35,839 Speaker 2: So it's like a four one K, it's a job 802 00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:38,719 Speaker 2: where nobody really knows the money in a four one 803 00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:40,800 Speaker 2: K where it's invested, it's invested in stock market, but 804 00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:42,880 Speaker 2: nobody knows which stock is actually invested in. 805 00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:43,200 Speaker 4: Right. 806 00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:45,080 Speaker 2: The same thing with a mutual fund kind is like 807 00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:46,840 Speaker 2: you're investing in a mutual fund, like it could be 808 00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:48,880 Speaker 2: a tech fund, but that tech funm I have one 809 00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:50,880 Speaker 2: hundred and fifty different stocks inside of it. 810 00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:51,160 Speaker 4: Right. 811 00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:53,920 Speaker 2: So the benefit with that is that a it allows 812 00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:56,319 Speaker 2: you to invest in a low amount. It's like a 813 00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:58,440 Speaker 2: lot of times, like fifty dollars a month minimum or 814 00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:00,680 Speaker 2: like a thousand dollars a month longth sum. So you're 815 00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:03,239 Speaker 2: investing at a pretty low entry point, and you don't 816 00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:05,120 Speaker 2: have to do the work yourself, like you don't have 817 00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:05,640 Speaker 2: to research. 818 00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:06,840 Speaker 3: You know, it's being done for you. 819 00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:10,040 Speaker 2: And another way to invest is an index fund, right, 820 00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:13,480 Speaker 2: So an indexed fund, you know, attracts an index. So 821 00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:15,680 Speaker 2: we have like the S and P five hundred or 822 00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:18,440 Speaker 2: dal Jones and that's pretty much like a microcosm of 823 00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:22,000 Speaker 2: the stock market. And so instead of you trying to 824 00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:25,200 Speaker 2: pick stocks yourself, you're just investing in a broader stock 825 00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:28,399 Speaker 2: market as a whole. And that's another way where it's 826 00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:31,120 Speaker 2: it's passive, right, because you're not actually doing the work, 827 00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:35,000 Speaker 2: it's just mirroring the actual market. So I say those 828 00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:38,080 Speaker 2: those two ways in particular because we want everybody to 829 00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:43,080 Speaker 2: get involved in investing, and we encourage you to learn 830 00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:44,600 Speaker 2: and to do it yourself if you would like to. 831 00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:47,640 Speaker 2: But if not, that's still not an excuse to not invest, 832 00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:50,080 Speaker 2: because you can still invest in the stock market without 833 00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:53,720 Speaker 2: actually having to pick the stocks or do the work yourself. 834 00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:57,600 Speaker 5: I think the idea really is on a daily basis, 835 00:37:57,600 --> 00:37:58,720 Speaker 5: are you challenging yourself? 836 00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:00,880 Speaker 4: Right? Are you? Today? 837 00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:03,400 Speaker 5: I go to sleep and then I'll wake up tomorrow 838 00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:05,520 Speaker 5: and my better version of myself and all I askts 839 00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:09,120 Speaker 5: of life, right, like forget finance, just aspects of challenging yourself. 840 00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:12,760 Speaker 5: And when you start to challenge yourself, the reward comes 841 00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:14,600 Speaker 5: right slowly, but show you. It's like if I want 842 00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:16,400 Speaker 5: to lose weight. Sometimes I look in the mirror and 843 00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:18,480 Speaker 5: it's like, well, I'm not losing weight, and somebody sees you, going, 844 00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:20,640 Speaker 5: hey man, you losing weight, and it's like I didn't notice, 845 00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:22,919 Speaker 5: because I see myself every day, so I will never 846 00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:25,320 Speaker 5: notice the micro changes in myself. 847 00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:29,680 Speaker 4: But in this kind of forum, the ideas that get 848 00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:30,200 Speaker 4: better every day. 849 00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:32,200 Speaker 5: And the great thing about the stock market, and the 850 00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:35,400 Speaker 5: great thing about all the things you're speaking about, is 851 00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:36,360 Speaker 5: that it's tangible. 852 00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:38,640 Speaker 4: We can feel it, we can read it, we can 853 00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:39,160 Speaker 4: touch it. Right. 854 00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:41,279 Speaker 5: I can go to a Verizon store, I can walk 855 00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:43,799 Speaker 5: into a Nike store. I can tangim, I can feel it. 856 00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:45,600 Speaker 5: If I also can put up an article from the 857 00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:48,759 Speaker 5: Wall Street Journal, or I can donate my money, right, 858 00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:50,000 Speaker 5: I consider a donation. 859 00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:52,000 Speaker 4: Right, So when I say donate money, you have to 860 00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:53,000 Speaker 4: pay for the wallsh Journal. 861 00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:57,120 Speaker 5: But I'm donating to my knowledge, right, I'm donating money 862 00:38:57,120 --> 00:39:01,840 Speaker 5: to my knowledge fund paid for banterers. I'm donating money 863 00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:06,280 Speaker 5: to mine, I'm donating time to my knowledge. I'm investing 864 00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:10,480 Speaker 5: in myself to make myself better because the better I am, 865 00:39:10,719 --> 00:39:12,759 Speaker 5: the more I can do for other people. Right, So 866 00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:16,000 Speaker 5: part of my journey was that I understood when I 867 00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:19,600 Speaker 5: got into the game was the better I do, the 868 00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:21,880 Speaker 5: more I can do for people who don't know, because 869 00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:24,359 Speaker 5: they're gonna trust me because they figure, well, you work 870 00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:26,359 Speaker 5: in this field, so I'm gonna trust you the serain way. 871 00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:27,719 Speaker 5: I go to my dentists and they say, well, you 872 00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:30,840 Speaker 5: need this, and I always tell them you are professional. 873 00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:33,359 Speaker 5: I'm gonna do what I'm told, but I also want 874 00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:35,520 Speaker 5: to learn. Come not trying to just have dental work 875 00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:37,319 Speaker 5: done for no reason. So I'm gonna ask questions as 876 00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:41,120 Speaker 5: to why that's happening, and you can now tell me. 877 00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:41,959 Speaker 4: I'm gonna learn. 878 00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:44,600 Speaker 5: So the same thing premises holds true for this is 879 00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:48,920 Speaker 5: any money or time you're donating to investing yourself. So 880 00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:52,000 Speaker 5: these platforms also cost money. Let's not forget that this 881 00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:54,600 Speaker 5: stuff isn't free. It's not free to be knowledgeable, and 882 00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:57,600 Speaker 5: it's not free to just become an expert in something. 883 00:39:57,880 --> 00:40:01,640 Speaker 5: It takes sweat, equity and time, right, years, months, days, 884 00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:04,560 Speaker 5: whatever you want to do, and it takes a financial investment. 885 00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:08,600 Speaker 5: And I'm gonna waste twenty bucks thirty bucks on stuff 886 00:40:08,600 --> 00:40:11,520 Speaker 5: I don't need, right, No, we could do. We always 887 00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:14,040 Speaker 5: waste money, so we always find a reason. We can 888 00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:17,719 Speaker 5: always find the reason why we should buy something. Oh man, 889 00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:20,240 Speaker 5: them drugs is on sale. You know they there three hundred. 890 00:40:20,239 --> 00:40:22,800 Speaker 5: I put them for one fifty. You found the reason 891 00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:25,560 Speaker 5: didn't need them. The difference between the need and the want. 892 00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:29,239 Speaker 5: Same thing with this. These platforms cost money, well lots 893 00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:32,960 Speaker 5: you journally costs money. Barrens cost money financial terms for 894 00:40:33,239 --> 00:40:37,160 Speaker 5: financial times, excuse me, costs money. The economists costs money 895 00:40:37,160 --> 00:40:41,600 Speaker 5: to subscribe on their yearly basis. This isn't like a chore, 896 00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:44,040 Speaker 5: and if it is, it's not for you, right because 897 00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:45,600 Speaker 5: you got to invest in yourself the same way you 898 00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:47,880 Speaker 5: invest in your clothes and stuff that you might not 899 00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:50,120 Speaker 5: have in five years. Right, you might not have those 900 00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:52,600 Speaker 5: pairs of sneakers in five years, but that knowledgement, the 901 00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:55,160 Speaker 5: article or you got that, you got that for a 902 00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:55,800 Speaker 5: long time. 903 00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:57,080 Speaker 4: Justally quickly. 904 00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:01,320 Speaker 3: The knowledge on the podcast too, which is free. 905 00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:04,560 Speaker 6: I just want to touch because like you said, like 906 00:41:04,640 --> 00:41:07,000 Speaker 6: not having the armor is one thing, and investing yourself 907 00:41:07,040 --> 00:41:08,120 Speaker 6: as far as literature and reading. 908 00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:11,440 Speaker 4: Like in two thousand and seven, Rashad. 909 00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:13,040 Speaker 6: And a good friend about his Jama and my brother 910 00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:16,160 Speaker 6: Gred we started a company called Money Through invest In 911 00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:19,440 Speaker 6: and so you know, we were. 912 00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:21,520 Speaker 4: Into business, right. We didn't have no tools. We were 913 00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:23,960 Speaker 4: just trying to learn on our own. And I subscribed 914 00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:24,960 Speaker 4: to all these magazines. 915 00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:28,200 Speaker 6: I read BusinessWeek and I got this great article and 916 00:41:28,239 --> 00:41:29,919 Speaker 6: it was like, you know, things you should look into, 917 00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:31,239 Speaker 6: So like that was the first thing I did to. 918 00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:34,560 Speaker 4: Look at it. It's like, what are my interests? Right? 919 00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:37,480 Speaker 6: So I saw Apple and this is prior to the 920 00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:39,200 Speaker 6: iPhone that hadn't come out yet. And I saw this 921 00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:42,440 Speaker 6: company called Badu, which was like the Chinese version of Google. 922 00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:44,480 Speaker 4: I'm like, all right, Google's been China this this is 923 00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:46,359 Speaker 4: gonna be next, and then that's on China Mobile. I'm 924 00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:48,640 Speaker 4: not great, I'm gonna invest in these all right, boom. 925 00:41:48,719 --> 00:41:50,680 Speaker 4: So I did it. I was like, the iPhone is going. 926 00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:53,600 Speaker 6: To be huge prior to it being released, and it 927 00:41:53,680 --> 00:41:56,200 Speaker 6: was great the first six months, and then two thousand 928 00:41:56,200 --> 00:42:00,480 Speaker 6: and eight market crash and I got scared and I 929 00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:01,719 Speaker 6: took all money out, but. 930 00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:02,440 Speaker 4: I still watched. 931 00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:05,399 Speaker 6: I'll still watch it for the sideline and I saw 932 00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:08,400 Speaker 6: like companies go up sevenfold and I'm like, oh my gosh. 933 00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:10,399 Speaker 4: And then they did something call to split. You want 934 00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:12,800 Speaker 4: to play what the split is? Well, so stock split? 935 00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:15,120 Speaker 4: Could they either they can do a reverse stock split 936 00:42:15,480 --> 00:42:16,239 Speaker 4: or they can stock split. 937 00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:18,640 Speaker 5: Right, So if you have one share unless say the 938 00:42:18,680 --> 00:42:20,799 Speaker 5: shares one hundred dollars and the companies say we're doing 939 00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:23,719 Speaker 5: a four to one stock split, now you have four 940 00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:27,280 Speaker 5: shares at twenty five dollars, right, and the reverse dosplat 941 00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:28,960 Speaker 5: is like, we're going to make those four shares one 942 00:42:29,040 --> 00:42:31,680 Speaker 5: hundred dollars, right, So you have four twenty five dollars shares. 943 00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:34,840 Speaker 5: Now you have one share of one hundred dollars. Companies 944 00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:37,279 Speaker 5: do it for a multitude of reasons. Whether it is 945 00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:40,360 Speaker 5: to create volume, right because the stock market dealsn't supply 946 00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:42,879 Speaker 5: and demand. Why is the stock call so much, Whether 947 00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:44,320 Speaker 5: there's not a lot of volume where there's not a 948 00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:45,879 Speaker 5: lot of shares that are out there that you can 949 00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:48,400 Speaker 5: obtain so the price goes up the same way that 950 00:42:48,560 --> 00:42:51,680 Speaker 5: if like a sneaker comes out and then it gets 951 00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:53,759 Speaker 5: sold out and it's two hundred dollars at Nike, but 952 00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:55,920 Speaker 5: then you go on stock X and it's five hundred beans. 953 00:42:56,239 --> 00:42:58,719 Speaker 5: You're like, yo, but that's the value because there's only 954 00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:01,680 Speaker 5: so many shoes. Literally knows that, and they're going to 955 00:43:01,719 --> 00:43:04,440 Speaker 5: raise the price. That's the same thing in the stock market. 956 00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:07,640 Speaker 5: Sometimes the companies right will buy back shares of their 957 00:43:07,719 --> 00:43:10,360 Speaker 5: stock to take them off of the market. By buying 958 00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:12,640 Speaker 5: back the shares of their stock and taking them off 959 00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:16,319 Speaker 5: the market, it creates, right, it creates more demand for 960 00:43:16,360 --> 00:43:18,279 Speaker 5: the stock because there's less of supply out there for 961 00:43:18,280 --> 00:43:21,040 Speaker 5: me to get my hands on. So intrinsically, it will 962 00:43:21,120 --> 00:43:23,000 Speaker 5: raise the price to the stock, or hopefully raise the 963 00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:25,640 Speaker 5: price to the stock. Right, and raising the price the 964 00:43:25,640 --> 00:43:28,200 Speaker 5: stock gives it a different profile. If a stock is 965 00:43:28,239 --> 00:43:30,960 Speaker 5: trading at one hundred and fifty dollars a share, it 966 00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:33,520 Speaker 5: has a different profile than the stock that's trading at 967 00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:36,080 Speaker 5: five dollars a share. Right, we're not even discussing the company. 968 00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:38,560 Speaker 5: It's to have looks from the inside from the outside in. 969 00:43:39,200 --> 00:43:42,200 Speaker 5: And so sometimes companies want to go from being Nike 970 00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:45,160 Speaker 5: to Louis Right, or from Louis to Nike right accessibility 971 00:43:45,239 --> 00:43:49,160 Speaker 5: in terms of their demographic the customers will say. Some 972 00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:52,560 Speaker 5: companies might say, hey, we're trading at seven hundred dollars 973 00:43:52,560 --> 00:43:54,560 Speaker 5: a year, and we want to make our stock more 974 00:43:54,600 --> 00:43:57,920 Speaker 5: accessible to people who can afford this range, say from 975 00:43:58,000 --> 00:43:59,960 Speaker 5: one to fifty to two hundred, right, And by doing 976 00:44:00,239 --> 00:44:03,400 Speaker 5: the stock split or buying back these shares or different 977 00:44:03,520 --> 00:44:06,320 Speaker 5: ideas they have, they're acting on what they think is 978 00:44:06,360 --> 00:44:08,200 Speaker 5: best for their company. And again it kind of all 979 00:44:08,280 --> 00:44:12,439 Speaker 5: ties into the ecosystem and everybody's going to do what's 980 00:44:12,520 --> 00:44:18,839 Speaker 5: best for what for them and who makes all decisions CEOs, CFOs, 981 00:44:19,040 --> 00:44:22,400 Speaker 5: coos right, and the perception of the stock on the market. 982 00:44:24,520 --> 00:44:29,760 Speaker 2: My graduates from my school being force back drop bag drop, 983 00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:32,799 Speaker 2: my drop back drop drop. 984 00:44:43,440 --> 00:44:46,880 Speaker 9: With Robinhood, not only can you trade individual stocks and ETFs, 985 00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:50,840 Speaker 9: you can also seamlessly buy and sell crypto at low costs, 986 00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:54,520 Speaker 9: trade all in one place.
