But having too 43 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:06,760 Speaker 3: tight of a stop loss, damn, there is worse than 44 00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 3: having those stop loss at all. 45 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:13,640 Speaker 1: It's a terrible feeling, it really is. It's a terrible feeling. 46 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:15,160 Speaker 3: For to go down and then go where you knew 47 00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 3: what it was going to go. 48 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:20,399 Speaker 1: Oh my god. Yeah, it's tough. I think that's why 49 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:22,920 Speaker 1: a part of that plan we always talk about having 50 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 1: a plan is figure out what that threshold is. I 51 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:29,640 Speaker 1: know some people don't have a strong threshold, so it 52 00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 1: might be a twenty percent pullback, but especially when you're 53 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:36,920 Speaker 1: talking about equities, that's a I mean, that's a correction, right, Yeah. 54 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,000 Speaker 1: When you talking about futures and options, that could be 55 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,800 Speaker 1: that's a minute, right like that that could be in 56 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:45,520 Speaker 1: five minutes, and so you got to take that into account. 57 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:49,480 Speaker 1: How voltile that these assets moved or these derivatives move, 58 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:53,240 Speaker 1: and so twenty percent it feels like all right, depending 59 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,440 Speaker 1: on the company, that feels like it's safe. But you know, 60 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,080 Speaker 1: like I've said, I've depended on the company and video 61 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 1: I've done. I've taking a stop loss of because I 62 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,200 Speaker 1: understand the company, I understand how the market moves now, 63 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,000 Speaker 1: I understand the long term vision for it, which is 64 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,280 Speaker 1: why we always buy time. So if you don't have 65 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 1: time in it, right and you're having these you're gonna 66 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,240 Speaker 1: lose out. So putting that ThReD I like, and I 67 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 1: know you we've gone back and forth. When I'm doing 68 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 1: an option called thirty to forty, I feel like is 69 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,360 Speaker 1: a safe space now depends Like I said, depend on 70 00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:30,920 Speaker 1: the company. That'll change my company. Probably. I've changed that 71 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:36,119 Speaker 1: for Microsoft. I've changed that for but like super Micro, right, 72 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,720 Speaker 1: once it hits a threshold, I gotta go, I gotta go. 73 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 1: I don't love right. I'm not in love with the 74 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:47,080 Speaker 1: option trade right. It makes sense and I feel like 75 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 1: it can make money. But if it's not making money, 76 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 1: then there's there's another opportunity where we can put that capital. 77 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,160 Speaker 1: So have a plan before you enter any position. We 78 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 1: can say it, but most people still don't do it right. 79 00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:01,160 Speaker 1: Like we talked about our close friend made money and 80 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 1: now let's trying to figure out what should I do. 81 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 1: I have to know the exit. 82 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,200 Speaker 3: You got to have a planter yep, because you can't 83 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:10,120 Speaker 3: figure out how to assemble a plane on the way down. 84 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 3: I know they love to say that in Silicon Valley, 85 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:13,600 Speaker 3: like figure out how to build a plane on the 86 00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 3: way down. 87 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 1: It doesn't work that way in our life. 88 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,840 Speaker 3: You're gonna crash out every time. And also to even 89 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 3: with the asset they were trading the ees Mini, the 90 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,120 Speaker 3: s and P five hundred, I'm like, if you knew 91 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 3: the market was falling, why have such a tight stop 92 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 3: And we've been falling. 93 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:29,839 Speaker 1: But it's fear. It's fear. 94 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 3: A lot of it is not knowing your entry, not 95 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,360 Speaker 3: knowing your exit when you're going to profit. And then 96 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,040 Speaker 3: the other part that isn't talked about enough is you're 97 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 3: doing so many different things when you're trading, you end 98 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,760 Speaker 3: up getting confused on how this is going to pan out. 99 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:45,719 Speaker 3: That's why I say trade one way in, one way 100 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 3: out all the time, so you can have a huge 101 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,080 Speaker 3: data set to know what the outcome is going to be. 102 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 1: There's that psychology, and we were like talking about it before, 103 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 1: but it's that psychology. The fear comes because of the 104 00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:01,560 Speaker 1: lack of education and preparation, which is underst Annibal. What 105 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,680 Speaker 1: is the other side of that? When you see people win, right, 106 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,320 Speaker 1: Like if you're like you're watching people, especially when you 107 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,720 Speaker 1: watch people on social media, it's like, man, they've have 108 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:14,080 Speaker 1: percentage gains, they've had percentage gains. Psychologically, do you think 109 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 1: that works as a detriment or is it more advantage 110 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 1: to say, oh I should be involved. I often wonder 111 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:21,680 Speaker 1: like how people do that? 112 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:24,159 Speaker 3: Maybe both were shot? 113 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 1: What you think? 114 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure, I think it psychologically definitely plays a 115 00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,880 Speaker 2: bar as far as investing is concerned, because no one 116 00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,680 Speaker 2: wants to lose money, and then no one wants to 117 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,680 Speaker 2: have somebody make more money than them. So it's a 118 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,839 Speaker 2: catch twenty two because you don't want to lose money, 119 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:46,120 Speaker 2: but then the risk of making money, so you you 120 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:47,760 Speaker 2: constantly kind of you know. 121 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:53,040 Speaker 3: Run ways yeap, Yeah, keep your eyes. 122 00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:55,240 Speaker 1: On your own paper. I think that that's a bar 123 00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 1: right there, the risk of making money, like you already 124 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 1: that the rest of making money, which is like damn, 125 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:04,840 Speaker 1: that just sounded crazy just. 126 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:08,799 Speaker 3: Now, but that's way I because you're seeing other people 127 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,440 Speaker 3: post their games but not always their losses. And on 128 00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:14,560 Speaker 3: top of that, when you start to have too much comparison, 129 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:18,200 Speaker 3: that's when the fomo and the overtrading and the over 130 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:23,320 Speaker 3: leveraging really kicks in. It really kicks in. Just focus 131 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:24,400 Speaker 3: on your race. 132 00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 1: Earners, what's up.
