So my dad had a construction 102 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,480 Speaker 5: company since twenty two So all of my work ethic 103 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:34,599 Speaker 5: I get from him. How strong and like directing to 104 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,000 Speaker 5: the point I am because like, business is tough. And 105 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:38,719 Speaker 5: then he was on business in the eighties and nineties 106 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:43,840 Speaker 5: there was no internet and they did well in their industry. 107 00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,560 Speaker 4: With yellow page ads, follow up direct mail, so it 108 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:47,080 Speaker 4: was harder. 109 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 5: So when he sees it now, he was like, you 110 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,320 Speaker 5: can text people and get businesses. Better, get your ass 111 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 5: up at five o'clock and just text two to three 112 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,640 Speaker 5: hundred people. I had to get out and buy TV 113 00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:58,720 Speaker 5: ads for twenty five grand and didn't know where were 114 00:04:58,720 --> 00:04:59,240 Speaker 5: gonna be placed. 115 00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:01,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, for a younger most yellow pages. It was a 116 00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:04,520 Speaker 3: yellow book that year. 117 00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:10,679 Speaker 2: Google Google from Indiana originally, right, yeah, each Chicago, Indiana, 118 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 2: each Chicago, So that's like right outside of Gary, Indie, 119 00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:15,679 Speaker 2: five minutes away. 120 00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:16,839 Speaker 4: So I didn't grow up in like. 121 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:20,839 Speaker 5: Some amazing financial ecosystem, and we were poor for a 122 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 5: long time. Like the reason why I don't even like 123 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 5: the Bulls to this day. Like we got w G 124 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:28,240 Speaker 5: and programming with Chicago Programming, but when the Bulls were 125 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,760 Speaker 5: one of the titles, like our lights were off in 126 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:34,559 Speaker 5: the winter. So like most of my family is still 127 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 5: to this day like lower income and poor. So like 128 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:39,520 Speaker 5: a lot of me giving back is because like I 129 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:43,000 Speaker 5: want to reach them and show like what's possible if 130 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,360 Speaker 5: you apply. Because everybody, I think in every hood knows 131 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:47,919 Speaker 5: what to do. They're not giving a direct path to 132 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 5: be able to use that talent or work ethic to 133 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 5: be able to make money because we all know people 134 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:53,839 Speaker 5: in the hood that are like stars and have potential 135 00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 5: but just went down the wrong path. 136 00:05:55,880 --> 00:06:01,720 Speaker 2: So yeah, information, So if futures futures market, right, yep, 137 00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:05,280 Speaker 2: because we hear about this a lot, like CNBC. If 138 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 2: you ever watched CNBC, they talk about the futures market, yep, 139 00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 2: And they talked about futures. So not the rapper the 140 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:16,440 Speaker 2: future that is good. What what is what is it? 141 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:17,359 Speaker 2: What is futures? 142 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:17,840 Speaker 3: What are they? 143 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 5: Yeah, futures is the highest paying asset class that no 144 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:22,799 Speaker 5: one knows about. 145 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:24,279 Speaker 3: What are the asset classes? 146 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,360 Speaker 5: So you have you have stocks that you can invest in, 147 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 5: you have ETFs, you have mutual funds, but futures pays 148 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:33,200 Speaker 5: the most out of all of them. So for every 149 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,280 Speaker 5: one dollar that you can invest in, let's say and 150 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 5: get in the stock the e S which is S 151 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:40,480 Speaker 5: and P five hundred pays one hundred and twenty five 152 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 5: times more, and bonds paid three hundred and twelve times more. 153 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:45,800 Speaker 5: So if you go to sing sing be seen in 154 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,479 Speaker 5: the morning, like you said, that sets the tone for 155 00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:50,120 Speaker 5: what the market is going to do because it's open 156 00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:51,120 Speaker 5: twenty three hours to day. 157 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:52,359 Speaker 2: So what so what exactly is it? 158 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:52,440 Speaker 3: Like? 159 00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:53,200 Speaker 2: What's the futures? 160 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:55,360 Speaker 4: Futures basically is is. 161 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:58,560 Speaker 5: Uh, you're making a guest or a bet whether the 162 00:06:58,600 --> 00:06:59,920 Speaker 5: market is going to go up or down. 163 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 4: But what certain asset class is. 164 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:03,880 Speaker 5: Like you know, the market is going to go up, 165 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,680 Speaker 5: generally gold is going to go down until something bad 166 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:08,120 Speaker 5: happens like they Iran attack. 167 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:10,560 Speaker 4: We know CREUD is going to be volatile. 168 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 5: So it's what institutional investors use to gauge for what 169 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:17,040 Speaker 5: the market is going to do. And so like for example, 170 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:20,080 Speaker 5: I'll say, okay, who do you think do you think 171 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,480 Speaker 5: Lebron is going to average ten points this year or more? 172 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,040 Speaker 4: Definitely more? Do you just place the. 173 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,880 Speaker 5: Bet on Lebron averaging more than ten? That's all the 174 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 5: futures market is. 175 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 2: So the futures market is like after hour trading, yes, 176 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,360 Speaker 2: and it's pretty much like it's so it's like calls 177 00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:35,960 Speaker 2: and puts on the options. 178 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,600 Speaker 4: But it's worldwide. And then it's twenty three hours a day. 179 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:40,880 Speaker 5: So at the open, the American open at eight thirty, 180 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,440 Speaker 5: that's when you have the most volume on it. But 181 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 5: most of us, especially that they're black, don't know about 182 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,559 Speaker 5: it because we were the asset class that were traded. 183 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,120 Speaker 4: Why twenty three not twenty four hours a day because 184 00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:52,119 Speaker 4: it has an hour arrest. 185 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,240 Speaker 5: And then the way the cycle goes from America to 186 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,080 Speaker 5: Asian market in London market, it's like a little break 187 00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:57,560 Speaker 5: in between you. 188 00:07:57,680 --> 00:07:59,400 Speaker 3: I got like that, like if you have like a 189 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:02,160 Speaker 3: file to like these channels from Asia. Yeah, they show 190 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:03,520 Speaker 3: the future market. 191 00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 2: So I'm gonna actually what you just said, I'm gonna 192 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,800 Speaker 2: elaborate on that. But before so all right, just understand. 193 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:11,440 Speaker 2: So stocks and I'm buying a stock, regular stock, and 194 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 2: I'm just buying it at that price. If it goes up, 195 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:15,840 Speaker 2: I make money. If it goes down and lose money. 196 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 2: Futures is, for lack of a better word, it's like 197 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 2: kind of a guess where you're kind of predict predicting 198 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:26,320 Speaker 2: it's going to go up, like it's ten dollars now, 199 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:28,000 Speaker 2: but you think it's gonna go up to fifteen. Yes, 200 00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:30,360 Speaker 2: So it's a future. That's why it's called futures because it's. 201 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,559 Speaker 4: Like you're guests. 202 00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:33,800 Speaker 2: In the future. Yeah, and you can you can guess 203 00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:35,319 Speaker 2: the future if it goes up, or you can guess 204 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:37,360 Speaker 2: the future if it goes down. Is that correct? 205 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 4: Absolutely? 206 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:39,640 Speaker 5: And then you can make money whether the asset goes 207 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 5: up or down. Now what are we basing that off? 208 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 5: Is there information that's tied to the price of the 209 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,240 Speaker 5: S and P five hundred and the bonds market? So 210 00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:48,440 Speaker 5: long term, I tell people to invest in index funds, 211 00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 5: so s P, Y D I A, and then I'm 212 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,760 Speaker 5: like trade the future because if you buy it long term, 213 00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:54,559 Speaker 5: you can look at. 214 00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:55,880 Speaker 4: Your account and see where it's going. 215 00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:58,120 Speaker 5: Most days of S and P five hundred is going 216 00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:00,480 Speaker 5: to go up unless Trump do something crazy, which is 217 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:05,240 Speaker 5: all the time. But that volatility even provides some movements, 218 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:07,520 Speaker 5: So if the market falls down five hundred points, you 219 00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:08,880 Speaker 5: can profit when the market goes down. 220 00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:09,840 Speaker 4: You can't do that with stops. 221 00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:12,280 Speaker 2: And the S and P five hundred For anybody that 222 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:15,160 Speaker 2: doesn't know, it stands for standing and poors five hundred. Yes, 223 00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:18,280 Speaker 2: five hundred companies like a microcosm of different stocks. So 224 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:19,800 Speaker 2: a lot of time you had a market is up 225 00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 2: and a market is down, and not talking about every 226 00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:24,240 Speaker 2: single stock in the stock market. They're using dal Jones, 227 00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:27,040 Speaker 2: SI and five hundred rest of two thousand. The S 228 00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:29,120 Speaker 2: and P five hundred is like five hundred stocks from 229 00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:31,840 Speaker 2: different sectors, and if all of those are moving in 230 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:35,120 Speaker 2: one direction or another, then pretty much the market is moving. 231 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:35,679 Speaker 3: Yeah. 232 00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:36,960 Speaker 4: I think of the SMP is like the NBA. 233 00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:40,440 Speaker 5: It's like the five hundred best players in one basket, 234 00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:42,240 Speaker 5: and then the Dow thirty is like the best thirty. 235 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:43,960 Speaker 5: So when I people tell people to invest in the 236 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,520 Speaker 5: index fund, I'm like, imagine We was at the park 237 00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:49,079 Speaker 5: and you have to pick five people, and I'm like, okay, 238 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:52,680 Speaker 5: you can get Giannis Lebron, Curry when he's not hurt, 239 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:56,960 Speaker 5: Harden and Westbrook and we play against five other teams, 240 00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:58,800 Speaker 5: five other players that are just regular players. 241 00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,040 Speaker 4: Who do you think goes win All Star Team? 242 00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:04,839 Speaker 2: So you said that black people was traded? Yeah, can 243 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:05,520 Speaker 2: you talk about that? 244 00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:09,360 Speaker 5: The financial market is, unfortunately, was based off slavery, So 245 00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:12,760 Speaker 5: we were the first comodity actually traded. So most insurance 246 00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:17,000 Speaker 5: companies got their start from slavery and insurance slaves and then 247 00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:20,520 Speaker 5: futures contracts. They would make a guess about how many 248 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:25,480 Speaker 5: slaves would actually make it across land. And so that's 249 00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:27,440 Speaker 5: why most of us don't know about it, because we 250 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:28,439 Speaker 5: were the things that were traded. 251 00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:29,439 Speaker 4: We're not supposed to know. 252 00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:31,520 Speaker 3: You said, futures contract, what is that? 253 00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:35,880 Speaker 5: And so let's say hypothetically you had a thousand slaves. 254 00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:40,040 Speaker 5: The companies would guess that maybe five hundred and sixty 255 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:42,840 Speaker 5: to seven hundred of them would end up dying, and 256 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,520 Speaker 5: they would have a contract on it that if they died, 257 00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:47,760 Speaker 5: they would still make money off of it via insurance. 258 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:50,640 Speaker 2: It's funny, it's crazy that you say that, because it's like, 259 00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:54,400 Speaker 2: yesterday I went to Schaumberg. You ever heard Schamburg. So 260 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:59,240 Speaker 2: the Schomberg libraries in Harlem, and it's world famous and 261 00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:03,280 Speaker 2: it's like African American museum type, but it's not a museum. 262 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:05,720 Speaker 2: It's a library, exhibition stuff like that. So long story short, 263 00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:10,439 Speaker 2: just yesterday I went there randomly and I was in there. 264 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:12,280 Speaker 2: I was in there and I was looking at different things. 265 00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:14,000 Speaker 2: So I looked on the wall, so I saw the 266 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:18,680 Speaker 2: contracts for the company that predated New York Life. I 267 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 2: forgot the name of it, but it showed the contracts, 268 00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:27,839 Speaker 2: the life insurance contracts on slaves and so so I'm 269 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:29,560 Speaker 2: gonna get to that. So then on in the book. 270 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,600 Speaker 2: It's interesting because in the book it has like causes 271 00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:35,040 Speaker 2: of death, age that they died, So it was all 272 00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:37,280 Speaker 2: kinds of stuff like they like a lot of people 273 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:41,960 Speaker 2: died from inflammation of the stomach, diarrhere, all kinds of stuff, 274 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,680 Speaker 2: but it was so it's a book and it's like 275 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:48,840 Speaker 2: a lot like that's how New York Life Insurance got started. 276 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,480 Speaker 2: That was that was before that they changed the name 277 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:59,320 Speaker 2: and it was based off of ensuring slave masters on 278 00:11:59,360 --> 00:11:59,920 Speaker 2: their slaves. 279 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,640 Speaker 5: Yeah, and I hears it say it, but racism is 280 00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:06,199 Speaker 5: America's first startup, so the country is built off of us. 281 00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,000 Speaker 5: But of course when we died, like you just said, 282 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:11,280 Speaker 5: they profited heavily, like and when you lose that many 283 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:15,760 Speaker 5: quote unquote commodities, you have to have an insurance policy 284 00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,120 Speaker 5: in place to be able to cover it. So everything 285 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:21,920 Speaker 5: is tied together, insurance. Wall Street, I mean Wall Street 286 00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:24,360 Speaker 5: was one of the biggest slave markets before it turned 287 00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:26,320 Speaker 5: into like the economic center that it is now. 288 00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:29,559 Speaker 4: Like slaves were traded on Wall Street. 289 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:33,000 Speaker 3: Yeah. I actually took a summer group to the Black 290 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,400 Speaker 3: burial ground in Manhattan. Yeah, and they give a detailed 291 00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:37,520 Speaker 3: expert that whole situation. 292 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:40,160 Speaker 5: It's heartbreaking. Yeah, And once you dive into the information, 293 00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:41,440 Speaker 5: it's fascinating but heartbreaking. 294 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:42,240 Speaker 4: Yeah yeah. 295 00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:45,040 Speaker 2: Yeah. And the ships too. It's like I saw it 296 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:47,840 Speaker 2: on the ships where it's like they have people just 297 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:50,720 Speaker 2: like lined up, so it's like a lot of people 298 00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:53,079 Speaker 2: not gonna make it because you it's like a month 299 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:56,880 Speaker 2: to get from Africa to America. And if you in 300 00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:00,000 Speaker 2: a ship lined up with three hundred people right now 301 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,760 Speaker 2: next to each other, like people going to bathroom on themselves. 302 00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:06,040 Speaker 2: It's like it's not really an efficient way to travel. 303 00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:11,040 Speaker 2: So half of the slaves even more die just from that, 304 00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:13,120 Speaker 2: like I mean, just like you can't so like you said, 305 00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:16,920 Speaker 2: so that all comes into like the insurance. But it's 306 00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:19,360 Speaker 2: interesting as far as like the commodities because it's like okay, 307 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:23,520 Speaker 2: like how many's actually gonna make it? Yeah, we could 308 00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:25,960 Speaker 2: put bets on that, calls and puts on it. And 309 00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:29,280 Speaker 2: if you can make money either way, people make it. 310 00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:29,600 Speaker 3: Yeah. 311 00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:33,199 Speaker 5: And also and during times of travesy like when crews 312 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:35,360 Speaker 5: shot down, you can make money as the market is falling. 313 00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:39,280 Speaker 5: So unfortunately, whether we made it across the seas or not, 314 00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:41,240 Speaker 5: they had a plan to be able to make money. 315 00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:43,080 Speaker 5: And that's one thing I have to tell people when 316 00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:44,959 Speaker 5: it comes to investing, like whether the market is good 317 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:46,600 Speaker 5: or bad, you have to be able to make money. 318 00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:50,440 Speaker 5: We all have kids. Kids are not cheap by any means, 319 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:52,320 Speaker 5: and we have to invest more so we can have 320 00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:54,800 Speaker 5: a future for them. But even when the market falls apart, 321 00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:57,800 Speaker 5: like luckily with futures. Some of my biggest days, like 322 00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 5: August twenty four to twenty fifteen, the market dropped five 323 00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:01,880 Speaker 5: hundred points. I had one of my best days, I 324 00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:05,640 Speaker 5: had one hundred percent gainer that day Brexit, Like I 325 00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:09,240 Speaker 5: made a ton of money on Brexit when that economy 326 00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:11,120 Speaker 5: was falling apart, I was able to take advantage of 327 00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:13,360 Speaker 5: it and then ride the ES down which is S 328 00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:15,719 Speaker 5: and P five hundred, and then ride it back up. 329 00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,439 Speaker 5: So regardless, in stocks, you can only ride them one way, 330 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:21,280 Speaker 5: but futures you can play both ways. 331 00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:23,360 Speaker 3: So what are some markets that you can actually buy 332 00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:23,880 Speaker 3: futures on. 333 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:26,440 Speaker 4: You can do it through TD amer Trade. 334 00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:30,040 Speaker 5: I use Ninja Trader as well out of Chicago because 335 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:32,680 Speaker 5: it's five hundred per contracts at Ninja Trader. 336 00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:35,320 Speaker 4: If you did it through Thinker Swim five hundred dollars, yes. 337 00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:38,160 Speaker 5: Five hundred per but if you bought one future contract 338 00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:40,360 Speaker 5: on TD Americ Trader, it would be sixty two fifty 339 00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:43,760 Speaker 5: because most African Americans don't have six grand laying around 340 00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:47,000 Speaker 5: to invest one contract, so they're a discount broker and 341 00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:48,600 Speaker 5: that's how you can end up buying more contracts and 342 00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:49,560 Speaker 5: the end up making more money. 343 00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:52,360 Speaker 2: So all right, so day trading YEP, day trade. 344 00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:55,440 Speaker 5: Or as I call it, short term investing, but short 345 00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:57,640 Speaker 5: term investing because it's a lot of traders out there 346 00:14:57,680 --> 00:14:58,960 Speaker 5: and most of them don't make money. 347 00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:04,160 Speaker 2: Okay, hey, sorry, So how do you make money day trading? 348 00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:07,720 Speaker 2: Because you said so day trading for anybody is not familiar. 349 00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:10,560 Speaker 2: Is that you're trading in today. That's why it's called 350 00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:11,040 Speaker 2: day trade. 351 00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:11,160 Speaker 6: Ye. 352 00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:14,800 Speaker 2: So you could day trade anything, crypto, which I hate, 353 00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:16,200 Speaker 2: hate crypto hate. 354 00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:17,720 Speaker 3: You can do. We've learned to hate it too. 355 00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:20,640 Speaker 2: You could day trade four x, which I hate. We'll 356 00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:23,800 Speaker 2: talk about we'll talk about that. You could date trade stocks, 357 00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:27,000 Speaker 2: but you said that stocks is not the best way 358 00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:30,080 Speaker 2: to day trade or intry day trade, or however you 359 00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:30,560 Speaker 2: want to prase it. 360 00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:33,320 Speaker 5: Well, stocks weren't originally meant to be day traded. They 361 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,400 Speaker 5: were meant to be held for long term period so 362 00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:39,480 Speaker 5: like thirty forty fifty period. And you notice as an advisor, 363 00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:41,880 Speaker 5: like if you if you had Apple and you traded 364 00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:45,360 Speaker 5: Apple for one day ten years ago, you may have 365 00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:48,080 Speaker 5: made a thousand, two hundred, one thousand, two thousand and 366 00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:50,760 Speaker 5: three thousand dollars. If you would have put two thousand 367 00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:54,120 Speaker 5: dollars into Apple ten years ago, you would probably have 368 00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:56,760 Speaker 5: more than one hundred and fifty grand right now. So 369 00:15:56,920 --> 00:16:00,720 Speaker 5: for a long term wealth building, it's absolutely amazing. But futures, 370 00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:02,800 Speaker 5: you have a thirty day window to trade them and 371 00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:06,400 Speaker 5: then the contracts cycle over. So and I tell all 372 00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:08,520 Speaker 5: of my students, I'm like, go for shorter targets so 373 00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:11,120 Speaker 5: you can get in out profit. But the hardest part 374 00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:14,080 Speaker 5: for most people is they don't have discipline to walk away. 375 00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:16,600 Speaker 5: They'll want to overtrade and black. Well, I've been broke 376 00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:18,200 Speaker 5: the majority of my life, so let me try and 377 00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:20,680 Speaker 5: get ten trades in the day. But you can't make 378 00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:22,920 Speaker 5: up for the time in which you were not previously. 379 00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:27,400 Speaker 2: What's the what's some tips on day like how do 380 00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:28,000 Speaker 2: you day trade? 381 00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:30,560 Speaker 5: First you have to open up a brokerage account, so 382 00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,240 Speaker 5: that would be through for features like Ninja trader. And 383 00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:35,480 Speaker 5: then the most important thing, you have to know where 384 00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:38,080 Speaker 5: the direction is going. It's a simple way to know. 385 00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:41,000 Speaker 5: If the market is green, it means the market is 386 00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:43,440 Speaker 5: going up. If it's red, it means it's going down. 387 00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:46,240 Speaker 5: We've all opened up Yahoo finance another bad day. 388 00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:46,680 Speaker 4: So it's read. 389 00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:49,920 Speaker 5: But most traders they are buying when it's red, and 390 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,600 Speaker 5: that's a good investment strategy. But in today, you end 391 00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:54,200 Speaker 5: up losing a lot of money. So if the market 392 00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:57,360 Speaker 5: is going up, ride the market up or buy, and 393 00:16:57,400 --> 00:16:58,960 Speaker 5: then if it's red, you want to sell. 394 00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:01,040 Speaker 4: But you have to have a predetermined target. 395 00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:06,000 Speaker 5: So like if you have fifty shares of let's say bonds, 396 00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:08,639 Speaker 5: unless say you get two pennies worth the movement, you 397 00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:11,320 Speaker 5: can make twelve to fifty and less than fourteen to 398 00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:12,040 Speaker 5: fifteen minutes. 399 00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:13,600 Speaker 4: But then after that. 400 00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:15,680 Speaker 5: You have to stop because you only allowed a certain 401 00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:17,960 Speaker 5: amount of trades per day because you don't want to gamble. 402 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,920 Speaker 5: That's what a gambling part comes in. That's associated with trading. 403 00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:22,159 Speaker 5: It's like, well, you don't know whether it's going to 404 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:23,640 Speaker 5: go up or go down. I'm like, you know what the. 405 00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:24,399 Speaker 4: S and P is gonna do? 406 00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:25,960 Speaker 3: What's the number of trades you can make it down? 407 00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:28,520 Speaker 5: You can do unlimited, but I advise people only do 408 00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:31,399 Speaker 5: one or two. Okay, one or two, because anytime you 409 00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:35,440 Speaker 5: do more than that, you are, like I said, subconsciously 410 00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:37,159 Speaker 5: trying to make up for the lack of money that 411 00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:39,640 Speaker 5: you have in your life. Because we know most people 412 00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:42,520 Speaker 5: that have money don't take huge risk, and I like 413 00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:44,320 Speaker 5: to keep my risk caped to like two percent. But 414 00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:46,960 Speaker 5: every time you get back in the market, you are 415 00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:49,600 Speaker 5: assuming more risk on a particular trade, and you don't 416 00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:50,160 Speaker 5: want to do that. 417 00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:51,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, can we just go back there for a second 418 00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:53,920 Speaker 3: for the contract. I know you said there's an expiration 419 00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:56,320 Speaker 3: of thirty days. Is that the standard? Are there other 420 00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:57,720 Speaker 3: ones that are sixty or ninety days? 421 00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:00,400 Speaker 5: No, that that's the standard for futures. So every every 422 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:02,840 Speaker 5: thirty days they'll end up rolling over. So that's a 423 00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:04,040 Speaker 5: maxi window that you can have. 424 00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:04,560 Speaker 4: To trade them. 425 00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:06,959 Speaker 3: And you could lose or gain money during that process. 426 00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:09,159 Speaker 5: Absolutely, yeah, but you can have a stop loss in 427 00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:11,919 Speaker 5: place that mitigates your risk, and then you can have 428 00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:12,840 Speaker 5: a predetermined target. 429 00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:15,040 Speaker 4: A lot of people they'll just hit by and hope 430 00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:16,760 Speaker 4: that it goes up. And I'm like, hope. 431 00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:19,520 Speaker 5: It was a great strategy for Obama, But financially that's 432 00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:20,439 Speaker 5: something we can't do. 433 00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:23,840 Speaker 2: So what's the S ANDP right at? Right now, it's. 434 00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:27,400 Speaker 5: Back in its close to the three thousands thirty five 435 00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:28,040 Speaker 5: hundred range. 436 00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:30,560 Speaker 2: And then so all right, so thirty five hundred, let's 437 00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:31,960 Speaker 2: just say thirty und could be on know when this 438 00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:34,040 Speaker 2: will come out, So let's say thirty five hundred smps 439 00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:37,560 Speaker 2: right now? Right? So I get up yep, I buy 440 00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:41,560 Speaker 2: a future on it, YEP, and I have a target 441 00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:44,720 Speaker 2: of thirty five oh one of thirty five oh one. Yes, 442 00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,160 Speaker 2: I have a stop loss of. 443 00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:50,440 Speaker 5: Let's say you can put it at twenty nine ninety 444 00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:51,359 Speaker 5: eight for easy numbers. 445 00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:55,040 Speaker 2: All right, so the stop losses once. If it goes 446 00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:56,600 Speaker 2: I stop my losses. That's why it's goned to stop 447 00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:59,119 Speaker 2: stop your losses. So you don't just it's not like 448 00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:01,680 Speaker 2: a nose dive market just starts to tank. It's like, okay, 449 00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:02,600 Speaker 2: oh yes. 450 00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:03,960 Speaker 4: Because then you can lose all of your money in. 451 00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:04,800 Speaker 2: You're sold at that point. 452 00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:06,080 Speaker 3: That can go down to one thousand yep. 453 00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:08,520 Speaker 2: But when it gets to the point where you're actually 454 00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:10,440 Speaker 2: say comfortable buying selling it at. 455 00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:12,680 Speaker 4: Then it's sold absolutely automatically. 456 00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:19,399 Speaker 2: Okay. So but now it's like if it goes past that, 457 00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:21,560 Speaker 2: what if it just keeps going, I. 458 00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:23,960 Speaker 4: Can't have fomo. You have to be think of it 459 00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:24,640 Speaker 4: as a business. 460 00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:29,320 Speaker 5: McDonald's doesn't sell number one for ten dollars to one person, 461 00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:30,520 Speaker 5: then twenty five to another. 462 00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:32,400 Speaker 4: All the prices are the same. 463 00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:34,040 Speaker 5: So you want to run it like a business where 464 00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:36,840 Speaker 5: I'm like, okay, when I approach the market, anytime that 465 00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:39,640 Speaker 5: I hit over a certain number, I'm happy a because 466 00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:42,119 Speaker 5: I remember when I was broke and had no money, 467 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:44,439 Speaker 5: and then b it's not in my business plan to 468 00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:46,600 Speaker 5: take more than a certain amount of trades. Today, a 469 00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:48,679 Speaker 5: lot of people will get in, they'll start and black like, oh, 470 00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:50,320 Speaker 5: I want to take fourteen fifteen trades. 471 00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:52,120 Speaker 4: I'm like, that's not in your plan. 472 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:54,840 Speaker 5: So we have to, especially our people, we have to 473 00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:57,520 Speaker 5: exercise a lot of discipline. And the financial market is 474 00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:00,080 Speaker 5: because we're so far behind, and people try and get 475 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:03,040 Speaker 5: U portraying and it's like, you should have been investing 476 00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:05,800 Speaker 5: ten years ago. I mean, even me knowing what I 477 00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:09,120 Speaker 5: know now, me not putting every dollar into the market. 478 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:12,359 Speaker 5: When Art told me to cost me twelve million dollars. Wow, 479 00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:15,760 Speaker 5: So it's like, wow, that's why I tell him.

And 486 00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:26,960 Speaker 5: we all sit and wish we would have invested. Were 487 00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:29,680 Speaker 5: talking about it before we started recording. Could have bought 488 00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:33,640 Speaker 5: City Bank of America. Apple was super cheap, MasterCard was cheap. 489 00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:35,240 Speaker 4: We sat on the sidelines. 490 00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:37,440 Speaker 5: And then but you know, some j's came out when 491 00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:39,440 Speaker 5: we got to Jay's and we partied, don't win on vacation. 492 00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:41,879 Speaker 4: We have to put our money here first. 493 00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:43,439 Speaker 2: And you said, it's only like two hours a day 494 00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:44,920 Speaker 2: where you should actually be our. 495 00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:46,880 Speaker 4: Yeah, two hours maximum the opening. 496 00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:49,879 Speaker 2: The clothes, where you should even uh, you don't like 497 00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:51,480 Speaker 2: to hear what is it? What do you call it? 498 00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:51,920 Speaker 4: Short term? 499 00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:53,879 Speaker 2: All right, so only two hours a day where you 500 00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:56,800 Speaker 2: should do short term investing. Yes, opening, which is eight 501 00:20:56,880 --> 00:21:00,920 Speaker 2: thirty in the morning, Yeah, thirty nine, Yeah, closing which 502 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,679 Speaker 2: is thirty yeah, three. 503 00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:05,359 Speaker 5: Thirty, four thirty, and then you should be done. Just 504 00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:07,200 Speaker 5: wrap it up. And that's Eastern time. And wrap it 505 00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:09,320 Speaker 5: up because in the middle, that's where a lot of 506 00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:11,840 Speaker 5: the amateurs play. There's not as much liquidity. So think 507 00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:13,880 Speaker 5: of it as if you own the store, all your 508 00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:16,280 Speaker 5: highest volume, let's say, if you're on a restaurant, will 509 00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:19,560 Speaker 5: be breakfast and dinner time. In the middle, there's not 510 00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:22,000 Speaker 5: as many people buying, Like you literally can see volume 511 00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:24,199 Speaker 5: get cut in half. And I'm like, don't trade in 512 00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:26,800 Speaker 5: the middle because there's not enough people. Because all the 513 00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:28,560 Speaker 5: market is is a bunch of people agreeing to buy 514 00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:32,160 Speaker 5: and tell at a particular price. Everybody goes away at lunch, 515 00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:34,439 Speaker 5: so come back at the close and then just be 516 00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:35,760 Speaker 5: disciplined to stick to your hours. 517 00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:37,399 Speaker 3: You say that one of your rules that never to 518 00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:39,680 Speaker 3: give up more than one point six percent on any trade. 519 00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:40,359 Speaker 3: Can you explain that? 520 00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:43,120 Speaker 5: So you have to have like a predetermined like risk 521 00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:46,239 Speaker 5: of reward ratio, and so like let's say if we 522 00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:49,520 Speaker 5: were playing ball outside and if we hit two three pointers, 523 00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:51,160 Speaker 5: we got fifty thousand dollars. 524 00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:52,080 Speaker 4: Great. 525 00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:56,120 Speaker 5: I think anybody in this room, no matter how often 526 00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:59,480 Speaker 5: we play, we can hit two shots, right. But most 527 00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:02,479 Speaker 5: people when they trade, they're risking fifty percent of their capital. 528 00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:05,240 Speaker 5: So if you miss them first two shots, you lose 529 00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:07,560 Speaker 5: all your money. So if you cap it at one 530 00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:10,560 Speaker 5: point six percent or two percent maximum, if you lose two. 531 00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:11,760 Speaker 4: Trades, you're only down four percent. 532 00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:15,760 Speaker 7: Your wife or your lady won't kill you. You're not messing 533 00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:18,600 Speaker 7: up the kids college fun, and then your emotions aren't 534 00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:22,000 Speaker 7: messed up. Whereas if you're risking fifty percent man two trades, 535 00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:24,040 Speaker 7: your lady hate you. You messed up the bag for 536 00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:27,080 Speaker 7: the kid, and now you are beating yourself up because 537 00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:28,280 Speaker 7: we as Black people have. 538 00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:31,000 Speaker 4: So much trauma tied with money and not having it. 539 00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:34,560 Speaker 5: Any loss has hurt us more than other races I 540 00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:35,960 Speaker 5: found out personally. 541 00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:38,040 Speaker 2: So, yeah, you know, you don't get wiped out, take 542 00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:41,200 Speaker 2: it out the game. You don't. One bad day could 543 00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:43,719 Speaker 2: take you out the game. Yeah, and we're seeing it. 544 00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:46,320 Speaker 5: And of course during a recession, so like when people 545 00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:49,399 Speaker 5: will over leverage. A lot of the banks went under 546 00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:51,640 Speaker 5: because they had assumed too much risk. 547 00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:53,439 Speaker 2: But a lot of it is psychology too, because like 548 00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:56,040 Speaker 2: if you so, it's all synonymous with gambling. And I 549 00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:59,360 Speaker 2: always tell people that investing is a game of knowledge. Yes, 550 00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:04,280 Speaker 2: gambling is a game of chance, but especially short term trading, 551 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:10,080 Speaker 2: highly expecutive investments, it very it's synonymous with gambling. And 552 00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:11,720 Speaker 2: you get the same feeling as a game. Like if 553 00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:14,439 Speaker 2: you gamble, you get a euphoria, You get a feeling. 554 00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:16,280 Speaker 2: You never look at it when you If you gamble 555 00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:18,320 Speaker 2: and you win ten thousand on the crab table, you 556 00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:20,680 Speaker 2: don't look at like you won ten thousand. You look 557 00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:23,400 Speaker 2: at it like you could potentially win one hundred thousand, yep. 558 00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:26,160 Speaker 2: And if you stop playing, you don't look you look 559 00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:29,199 Speaker 2: at it like you lost ninety it's the same thing. 560 00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:34,000 Speaker 2: It's the same thing with short term investing. So that's 561 00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:39,040 Speaker 2: the dangerous part for me is like people, you go 562 00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:42,440 Speaker 2: down because you start to make money very quickly, very fast. 563 00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:44,040 Speaker 2: So if you make five hundred dollars in an hour, 564 00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:46,720 Speaker 2: it's like a it's like a high. Yeah, you feel 565 00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:49,720 Speaker 2: like you feel invincible. Yeah, at that point, But then 566 00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:52,320 Speaker 2: you just have to stop because after you lose a 567 00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:54,399 Speaker 2: certain amount of money. And we've all been there, we 568 00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:57,440 Speaker 2: made money, gave it back, or spent it. But once 569 00:23:57,480 --> 00:23:59,080 Speaker 2: you have to have a higher purpose for what the 570 00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:01,960 Speaker 2: moneys for. For me being broke, like I need freedom 571 00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:05,399 Speaker 2: for myself and then also for my son because I 572 00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:07,600 Speaker 2: know what, when I have the conversation with my dad, 573 00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:09,160 Speaker 2: I'm like, if you had have put away ten grand 574 00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:11,840 Speaker 2: and thirty years, it would have been one point too. 575 00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:14,000 Speaker 5: My dad had them to cry. My dad's smart, been 576 00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:15,960 Speaker 5: in business for a long time. He was like, I 577 00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:18,159 Speaker 5: just didn't know, Like it's not that I wouldn't have 578 00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:20,280 Speaker 5: put the money away for you. I just had no clue. 579 00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:23,160 Speaker 5: And of course in the seventies and eighties, this information 580 00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:24,240 Speaker 5: wasn't flowing. 581 00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,639 Speaker 2: Around at all. No, it's all right, So in the 582 00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:28,800 Speaker 2: next seven we're gonna go into some more some more information. 583 00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:33,159 Speaker 2: But yeah, the day trading or short term trading, not. 584 00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:35,240 Speaker 4: A short term swing trading the same thing. 585 00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:37,439 Speaker 5: Yeah, So you can hold it for multiple days, so 586 00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:39,520 Speaker 5: for like a thirty day period, so you're holding it, 587 00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:42,160 Speaker 5: so then you have a higher probability because you can 588 00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:43,359 Speaker 5: hold it for multiple days. 589 00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:44,919 Speaker 4: But it costs more to do that. 590 00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:47,600 Speaker 5: So even that, so if you swing trade the S 591 00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:51,240 Speaker 5: and P five hundred, it costs almost seven thousand because 592 00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:54,159 Speaker 5: most of us are blocked out from being able to 593 00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:58,160 Speaker 5: do that, because the win ratio is higher with swing 594 00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:00,280 Speaker 5: trading because you're holding it over multiple days. You may 595 00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:02,600 Speaker 5: get a bad price on the S and P Monday, 596 00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:05,280 Speaker 5: but then by Thursday it's back up, so you're fine. 597 00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:09,359 Speaker 5: And yeah, and listen, Investing is risky, especially on a 598 00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:11,280 Speaker 5: short term sign if you are not disciplined. And I 599 00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:13,080 Speaker 5: always say, like, if you don't have ten grand, put 600 00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:15,040 Speaker 5: into the market a ten grand and save, you shouldn't 601 00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:17,520 Speaker 5: because most people want to treat it's like they are 602 00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:18,320 Speaker 5: gonna flip money. 603 00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:20,240 Speaker 4: I'm like, flipping doesn't work in the streets. 604 00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:23,119 Speaker 5: Like you either get jammed up, have to get a lawyer, 605 00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:24,800 Speaker 5: or you end up giving it all away, so we 606 00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:26,960 Speaker 5: have to. I want us to take that drug mentality 607 00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,040 Speaker 5: away and run a market, even though a lot the 608 00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:31,280 Speaker 5: Wall Street trapping name I love, I love the content, 609 00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:35,359 Speaker 5: No share with that because I love your material. I 610 00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:37,719 Speaker 5: want us to start to think bigger about what we 611 00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:40,360 Speaker 5: can achieve and long term pass. 612 00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:42,919 Speaker 4: On money and to be able to even help our friends. 613 00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:47,120 Speaker 2: So all right, okay, So in the next segment, we're 614 00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:50,160 Speaker 2: gonna talk about some more things. I was investing, okay, 615 00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:56,840 Speaker 2: So as far as trading right, whether you're trading commodities, 616 00:25:56,880 --> 00:26:00,400 Speaker 2: whether you're trading stocks, whether you're trading futures. Like you said, 617 00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:04,520 Speaker 2: it's practice makes it perfect, right, and you could becoming 618 00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:07,240 Speaker 2: good at anything if you have good habits and if 619 00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:09,320 Speaker 2: you apply yourself here, how can somebody become a good trade? 620 00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:09,439 Speaker 3: Like? 621 00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:12,200 Speaker 2: What is some tips to improve somebody's trading? 622 00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:15,160 Speaker 5: That's the best thing. When you sign up with any platform, 623 00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:17,919 Speaker 5: they let you practice for free. Most people want to 624 00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:21,240 Speaker 5: start making money right away, and a short term investment 625 00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:23,520 Speaker 5: is more like a sport. So I can't expect to 626 00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:25,119 Speaker 5: go to the league. If I'm putting up two jumpers 627 00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:27,560 Speaker 5: a day, I don't care how good the two jumpers 628 00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:30,280 Speaker 5: are under different conditions, I won't be able to perform well. 629 00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:32,480 Speaker 5: So I tell people like, start off practicing and take 630 00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:34,919 Speaker 5: one hundred trades, see how it goes for you, then 631 00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:36,440 Speaker 5: take it. That's before you put one dollars. 632 00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:37,040 Speaker 2: Simulate it. 633 00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:40,440 Speaker 5: Simulate it, because then you'll get comfortable and say, Okay, 634 00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:43,320 Speaker 5: either I do have the discipline to do this or 635 00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:47,600 Speaker 5: I don't. For me, coming from East Chicago, Indiana poor area, 636 00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:51,280 Speaker 5: when I got introduced to long term investment and short 637 00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:53,320 Speaker 5: it clicked to me right away, I'm like, wait, So 638 00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:56,480 Speaker 5: if I put it in one hundred shares here and 639 00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:58,440 Speaker 5: I get four pennies up in movement on the ES, 640 00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:01,679 Speaker 5: I can make twelve fifty. I'm like, I'm sold. I'm like, 641 00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:03,720 Speaker 5: but most people may not have a discipline because they 642 00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:05,320 Speaker 5: may not believe in themselves. And we see it with 643 00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:07,679 Speaker 5: business owners all the time who should have more growth. 644 00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:11,119 Speaker 5: They are the limitations or the governor and their own business. 645 00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:13,119 Speaker 5: But you can start with any broker's platform and then 646 00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:13,720 Speaker 5: just practice it. 647 00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:16,160 Speaker 3: So it's on the brokers platforms they have actual simulators. 648 00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:17,640 Speaker 3: Because that's a good thing to know, especially when we're 649 00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:19,239 Speaker 3: trying to teach kids to actually do. 650 00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:22,679 Speaker 5: And for kids, they have a game called Chartcut, So 651 00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:24,480 Speaker 5: it's a game that you can download the app store 652 00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:27,040 Speaker 5: and you literally can if you think the market is 653 00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:27,280 Speaker 5: going to. 654 00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:29,280 Speaker 4: Go up, hit by, if you think it's going to drop, 655 00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:29,960 Speaker 4: hit sell, and you. 656 00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:33,000 Speaker 2: Can practice there simulated trading. I'm glad you said that, 657 00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:39,639 Speaker 2: especially for children is extremely extremely valuable because spot especially trading, 658 00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:42,800 Speaker 2: it's a competitive sport. It is so like a lot 659 00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:44,960 Speaker 2: of schools, even for teachers. A lot of time, I 660 00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:46,879 Speaker 2: always recommend, like if you want to do like an 661 00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:48,840 Speaker 2: investment club for your class, and you can start with 662 00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:51,200 Speaker 2: like fake money, think of I'm a prize whoever wins. 663 00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:53,199 Speaker 2: Colleges do that all the time all the time, and 664 00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:56,639 Speaker 2: it's like, hey, you're learning, but it's always good to 665 00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:59,600 Speaker 2: have some kind of competition in place. And then you realize, 666 00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:01,720 Speaker 2: like it's that actually exciting, Like I mean, like anybody 667 00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:05,359 Speaker 2: really is involved with like trading stocks or investing on 668 00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:10,320 Speaker 2: a high level. It's like a sport. Again, So simulation 669 00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:12,959 Speaker 2: is something that and like you said, it's you're not 670 00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:14,920 Speaker 2: making any money, but it's it's like you. 671 00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:15,600 Speaker 3: Have to practice this. 672 00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:17,879 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's the same as it's like the preseason, like 673 00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:18,320 Speaker 2: the preseason. 674 00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:19,840 Speaker 3: I think it's dope because, like I said in our 675 00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:22,199 Speaker 3: saw A program, we teach stocks. So we start we 676 00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:24,359 Speaker 3: teach them about the market, but then like they do 677 00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:26,080 Speaker 3: a simulate it and then they actually get to go 678 00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:28,959 Speaker 3: down to Wall Street and see how it's incredible. So 679 00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:32,000 Speaker 3: that's important. After we do the simulation, though, right now 680 00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:33,760 Speaker 3: it's time to get in the game, Like is there 681 00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:35,680 Speaker 3: a certain amount of money we need to have or like. 682 00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:37,879 Speaker 5: Yes, I would say start with two thousand, but before 683 00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:40,480 Speaker 5: you get to intra day trading, like, you have to 684 00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:43,840 Speaker 5: invest long term. So even though I love investing on 685 00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:47,600 Speaker 5: the short term, I made my chops and reputation off 686 00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:51,280 Speaker 5: long term investment. So the foundation is indexes, second layers 687 00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:54,200 Speaker 5: technology stocks to start there and then start with a 688 00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:57,000 Speaker 5: thousand and two thousand bucks. Don't put everything you have 689 00:28:57,080 --> 00:29:00,160 Speaker 5: into it because then when the money's involved, emotions come 690 00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:01,080 Speaker 5: out absolutely. 691 00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:01,920 Speaker 4: And then now you. 692 00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:03,480 Speaker 5: Have to stick to your rule of one or two 693 00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:06,280 Speaker 5: trades a day and not forty five trades and not 694 00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:08,600 Speaker 5: trading a four x and crypto and everything at the 695 00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:10,520 Speaker 5: same time, Like you have to be very disciplined. So start 696 00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:12,560 Speaker 5: small and then earn your way up to put it 697 00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:14,680 Speaker 5: in more. Most people just want to throw in ten 698 00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:16,240 Speaker 5: grand and hope it goes up, and I'm like, you 699 00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:19,040 Speaker 5: can't hope. You have to practice your way through this 700 00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:19,800 Speaker 5: to be able to do better. 701 00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:21,600 Speaker 3: One of the things you said too, I heard an 702 00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:25,040 Speaker 3: envy was like people just throw money into an investment 703 00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:26,800 Speaker 3: and they just leave it there. Yeah, Like there has 704 00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:28,480 Speaker 3: to be some discipline where you have like, all right, 705 00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:31,640 Speaker 3: every month, I need to throw this certain amount about 706 00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:32,480 Speaker 3: that a little bit. 707 00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:35,480 Speaker 5: Yeah, So you want to set goals in place. So 708 00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:38,840 Speaker 5: even if you only let's say you get one pennyworth 709 00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:41,640 Speaker 5: of movement on bonds and you max out your contracts, 710 00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:44,480 Speaker 5: you can get six and a quarter percent growth on 711 00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:45,640 Speaker 5: one pennyworth of movement. 712 00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:47,520 Speaker 4: You don't have to be great to do that. 713 00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:49,760 Speaker 5: So I tell my students you have to have one 714 00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:51,920 Speaker 5: small target you can hit every day, because, let's be honest, 715 00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:55,160 Speaker 5: you have to produce. Even if emotions are there, you're 716 00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:57,520 Speaker 5: having a bad day, you've been fighting with your significant other, 717 00:29:57,600 --> 00:29:59,120 Speaker 5: you still have to make money because bills are going 718 00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:01,000 Speaker 5: to come in. And then go for a longer target. 719 00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:02,920 Speaker 5: So that's when I tell them to do like a 720 00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:06,760 Speaker 5: fifteen point target. So if you lose one trade let's 721 00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:09,040 Speaker 5: say if you even lose five, when you hit that 722 00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:12,200 Speaker 5: fifteen point target, it erases all the previous losses. 723 00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:14,760 Speaker 4: And now you're in profit of ten. But it's a sport. 724 00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:18,760 Speaker 5: It's no different than playing basketball, mma, which my son 725 00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:19,240 Speaker 5: loves to do. 726 00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:23,440 Speaker 4: Heyes, Ander, I love you. Or we all went to 727 00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:24,560 Speaker 4: school with people who were. 728 00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:27,640 Speaker 5: Really talented and then end up not doing well because 729 00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:29,959 Speaker 5: they were just lazy as hell, Like we look at 730 00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:34,360 Speaker 5: James Harden of course in Houston Lebron. Regardless of what 731 00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:37,320 Speaker 5: you think of him. Man, the kid worked hard, works hard, 732 00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:39,440 Speaker 5: puts a lot of money to his body in the offseason. 733 00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:42,000 Speaker 5: So you have to treat the investing part the same way. 734 00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:45,440 Speaker 2: Yeah. So all right, so you said the first lady 735 00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:48,640 Speaker 2: should be index funds. Yes, the second lader should be tech. 736 00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:50,000 Speaker 2: I'm glad you said don't want to talk about tech 737 00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:52,560 Speaker 2: a little bit because I'll tell people all the time, like, 738 00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:55,280 Speaker 2: if you don't know anything, just invest in tech absolutely, 739 00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:58,240 Speaker 2: because technology is not the way of the future is 740 00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:00,720 Speaker 2: right now. It's now and it always has Yeah, every 741 00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:04,480 Speaker 2: industry is effective by tech, like this is there's a 742 00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:08,040 Speaker 2: mutual fund called the Diamond Tech Fund. Franklin Templeton yep. 743 00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:10,600 Speaker 2: And it's up like sixteen percent a year for the 744 00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:13,560 Speaker 2: last ten years easily, and it has like all of 745 00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:17,400 Speaker 2: the big tech companies in it, like Google, Apple, Amazon, 746 00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:22,080 Speaker 2: So it's like it's the dummies way to invest, like 747 00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:23,520 Speaker 2: I mean. 748 00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:25,880 Speaker 5: Because our lives are rule by technology, even back when 749 00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:30,040 Speaker 5: that's assembly line before that was the technological innovation that made. 750 00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:31,440 Speaker 4: Ford great at that time. 751 00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:33,840 Speaker 5: Then IBM, of course in the Apple and Microsoft had 752 00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:37,480 Speaker 5: been in a great run. Netflix, Facebook, Google, I mean, 753 00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:40,440 Speaker 5: and I tell people like invest the major tech companies 754 00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:42,840 Speaker 5: you heard of. If it's a biotech company that you 755 00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:45,360 Speaker 5: never heard of in Delaware, don't touch it. We all 756 00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:49,320 Speaker 5: have heard of Facebook, Amazon, Google, and Netflix. So those 757 00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:51,000 Speaker 5: are easy and like you said, an easy way to 758 00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:53,400 Speaker 5: invest because we because I ask entrepreneurs if I can 759 00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:56,760 Speaker 5: walk you into Steve Jobs office when he was alive 760 00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:58,840 Speaker 5: and he would give you a grant for your business, 761 00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:01,880 Speaker 5: which you take the grant from Steve. Everybody says, yeah, 762 00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:05,360 Speaker 5: how much money have you invested in Apple? Then, because 763 00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:07,920 Speaker 5: it comes down to who's the better entrepreneur. I'm not 764 00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:10,800 Speaker 5: better than the CEO of Google, no matter how much 765 00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:13,160 Speaker 5: ego I have, I'm not I'm not better than Zuckerberg. 766 00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:15,760 Speaker 5: But I can tie my money into him and their 767 00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:17,600 Speaker 5: performance and make money. 768 00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:18,320 Speaker 4: Off of them. 769 00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:21,479 Speaker 5: And especially in our community, we know who the hottest 770 00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:23,240 Speaker 5: players are, who the hottest rappers are. 771 00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:25,440 Speaker 4: We make it that way.

Warren Buffett is believing 784 00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:05,440 Speaker 2: index He's believing he's like just pushing my index fine 785 00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:06,600 Speaker 2: if you don't know, not, no, it's just pushing my 786 00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:08,720 Speaker 2: index line.

Like why why is index funds the 842 00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:13,520 Speaker 2: top level for you? 843 00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:14,280 Speaker 4: Yeah? 844 00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:17,760 Speaker 5: Because it provides a certain level of safety. So let's 845 00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:21,440 Speaker 5: make it a comparison like the Knicks. GM has had 846 00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:24,480 Speaker 5: a lot of opportunity to draft some good players. He 847 00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:27,839 Speaker 5: has not for the longest time. So let's say we're 848 00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:31,359 Speaker 5: going to be in GM of picking stocks. Okay, so 849 00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:34,000 Speaker 5: we can either pick one individual company which we may 850 00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:36,439 Speaker 5: have a bust on, or an index fund is nothing 851 00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:38,640 Speaker 5: more than an All Star team. So if I give 852 00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:41,839 Speaker 5: you the Eastern All Stars to go against Orlando, who 853 00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:45,040 Speaker 5: do you think is going to win? All Star team 854 00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:48,000 Speaker 5: is going to win? So like when you pick index funds. 855 00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:49,919 Speaker 5: You're taking the best of the best companies and even 856 00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:52,840 Speaker 5: if you miss a great company, by having a collective 857 00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:54,680 Speaker 5: there or a basket, it'll be able to go up. 858 00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:56,440 Speaker 5: And then this year had an amazing run, like it 859 00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:59,279 Speaker 5: was up twenty seven percent like to this year was 860 00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:01,880 Speaker 5: a great year. And I know some people don't like them, 861 00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:04,160 Speaker 5: but it's like Buffett does it a lot of the 862 00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:06,440 Speaker 5: major hedsphones. And then if you want to get more technical, 863 00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:08,400 Speaker 5: like all the money they've been pumping into the market 864 00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:12,440 Speaker 5: will quantitative ease. And since the recession, that's another reason, 865 00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:14,439 Speaker 5: like always help people. The market is rigged to stay 866 00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:17,520 Speaker 5: up because when the market happens, or a recession happens, 867 00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:21,920 Speaker 5: people die, divorces are the higher rate businesses never recover. 868 00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:25,480 Speaker 5: So it's the economic engine that keeps pumping. And we 869 00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:27,920 Speaker 5: have to tire our money to where the money is 870 00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:29,160 Speaker 5: and where it's flowing easily. 871 00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:31,759 Speaker 2: So all right, And another thing with the index fund 872 00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:33,960 Speaker 2: is that you can actually invest Most retirement plans, most 873 00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:35,719 Speaker 2: fall on k's have an option where it's like the 874 00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:37,680 Speaker 2: S ANDP, you can invest in an index fund inside 875 00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:40,279 Speaker 2: of your retirement what dreaming to my next question? So 876 00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:44,320 Speaker 2: what stocks should people invest in for retirement. 877 00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:47,920 Speaker 5: The two biggest technology companies that are keep us up. Well, 878 00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:51,040 Speaker 5: my plan is very simple to indexes two tech because 879 00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:53,480 Speaker 5: if you make if you invest in twenty five companies, 880 00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:56,759 Speaker 5: you made your own mutual fund. Why now you can 881 00:37:56,800 --> 00:37:59,680 Speaker 5: talk if from an asset allocation standpoint that you should 882 00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:05,719 Speaker 5: have and tech ruin runs our lives. So whether Amazon 883 00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:08,200 Speaker 5: takes over or Apple takes over, it's going to be 884 00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:11,000 Speaker 5: two tech giants always tie your money. 885 00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:12,360 Speaker 4: And you can go back and look at IBM. 886 00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:14,040 Speaker 2: So what tech giants look right now? 887 00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:16,680 Speaker 4: I've always advised Apple and Microsoft. 888 00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:20,520 Speaker 5: Now Google, well, if you can afford it, Google's too 889 00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:21,480 Speaker 5: pricey for most people. 890 00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:23,600 Speaker 4: That is true. Yeah, it's too pricey. 891 00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:25,719 Speaker 5: If you can do Google, absolutely, but I know most 892 00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:28,239 Speaker 5: in our community they can't afford where Google is. I 893 00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:31,759 Speaker 5: mean I recommended Amazon and Google in twenty fifteen to 894 00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:34,719 Speaker 5: twenty sixteen, and Amazon before it got two thousand this year. 895 00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:36,799 Speaker 5: Once to hit a thousand of share, most people it's 896 00:38:36,840 --> 00:38:38,479 Speaker 5: like I don't have enough money to buy one. 897 00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:41,440 Speaker 2: Share to buy one Yeah, Amazon's gonna keep going up 898 00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:42,680 Speaker 2: to infinity. 899 00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:45,719 Speaker 5: Yeah, they the king of retail. Yeah, So if you 900 00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:47,880 Speaker 5: guys can afford it, do it. 901 00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:52,520 Speaker 2: No stopping. Yeah, yeah, okay, And that's just that's the 902 00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:56,520 Speaker 2: retirement strategy, yep, because those companies are never going to afford. 903 00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:59,600 Speaker 5: Never, and if so, someone's gonna overtake them. So even 904 00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:03,400 Speaker 5: with Marksoft, like I'm thirty seven, Microsoft is popular, Windows 905 00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:06,000 Speaker 5: ninety five was popular, and Bill Gates had that company 906 00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:10,120 Speaker 5: doing well in the mid nineties. So even like twenty 907 00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:13,200 Speaker 5: grand or ten grand back in the nineties now would 908 00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:16,960 Speaker 5: be several hundred thousand dollars. Great companies tend to be 909 00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:19,040 Speaker 5: great for a long period of time, and shitty companies 910 00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:22,480 Speaker 5: go out of business really fast. So even you take Oracle, 911 00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:25,280 Speaker 5: any of the Silicon Valley tech giants, they've been around 912 00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:29,680 Speaker 5: for a long time. Salesforce with that ticker CRAM, Yeah, 913 00:39:30,080 --> 00:39:33,399 Speaker 5: they've been around forever. So that's why when like fly 914 00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:36,200 Speaker 5: by Night stuff comes up, like bitcoin, I'm like. 915 00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:37,560 Speaker 4: Why we'll get that? 916 00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:38,040 Speaker 3: Yeah? 917 00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:38,920 Speaker 4: Why touch it? 918 00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:41,839 Speaker 5: And if you don't know how to properly invest in, 919 00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:44,600 Speaker 5: like start with the big boys and think of it always. 920 00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:48,000 Speaker 5: You're you're drafting, so you want to draft the best players. 921 00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:50,400 Speaker 5: So I'm going to whether you like Lebron or not, 922 00:39:50,600 --> 00:39:52,360 Speaker 5: I'm Lebron's going to be one of the first people 923 00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:55,680 Speaker 5: I picked, Like Duranta's like a salesforce, like so on, 924 00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:56,759 Speaker 5: steady gets. 925 00:39:56,520 --> 00:39:58,719 Speaker 4: Better every year. Underrated. 926 00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:00,919 Speaker 5: But then a lot a lot of people are like, well, 927 00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:03,720 Speaker 5: I want to get a weed company. 928 00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:05,879 Speaker 4: Like can that falls through the floor. 929 00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:08,759 Speaker 5: And I'm like, why just because you smoke weed like 930 00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:11,719 Speaker 5: that doesn't make you an expert. And I feel like, 931 00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:13,960 Speaker 5: just tie your money to what's working. So we got 932 00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:16,120 Speaker 5: two tech stocks, and what are the two indexes? 933 00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:18,080 Speaker 4: Spy is it easy? 934 00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:20,160 Speaker 5: Or you can do vol which is Vanguard and then 935 00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:21,960 Speaker 5: the Dow Jones which is DA. 936 00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:23,360 Speaker 4: And keep it very very simple. 937 00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:25,520 Speaker 5: Keep it very simple, because you don't need twenty five 938 00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:28,719 Speaker 5: stocks in your retirement plan, because once you have so many, 939 00:40:28,719 --> 00:40:31,040 Speaker 5: they'll start to weigh down your portfolio. Well, you may 940 00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:32,960 Speaker 5: have a winner that's up twenty five percent, but the 941 00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:35,279 Speaker 5: loser may have lost twelve percent. And now you've cut 942 00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:37,960 Speaker 5: your retirement and half. And the number that we actually 943 00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:41,120 Speaker 5: need for retirement is five million in our community. 944 00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:42,520 Speaker 4: That's a hard as. 945 00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:47,520 Speaker 5: When you look at inflation and then also how many 946 00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:49,400 Speaker 5: kids you have one you have one. 947 00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:53,120 Speaker 4: Two, you have two. They're not cheap, no, it adds up. 948 00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:55,279 Speaker 5: And then also when we get in this position to 949 00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:58,360 Speaker 5: be fortunate financially, we also have to help other people, 950 00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:01,960 Speaker 5: so it's the heavier on us. And then of course 951 00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:03,480 Speaker 5: it will cost of living going up. I mean, you 952 00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:06,040 Speaker 5: guys are living in a pricey state. It's not gonna 953 00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:08,040 Speaker 5: be cheap to you can't. There is no four or 954 00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:10,839 Speaker 5: five hundred dollars mortgage is here anymore, so that we. 955 00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:11,560 Speaker 4: Just need more money. 956 00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:14,040 Speaker 2: And then it's the four percent rule. Yeah, go ahead, 957 00:41:14,040 --> 00:41:17,000 Speaker 2: four percent rule. So if anybody's not familiar, that's what 958 00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:19,000 Speaker 2: most people say, like you should only take four percent 959 00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:22,319 Speaker 2: of your retirement account a year to make sure that 960 00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:26,360 Speaker 2: it stays forever. Yeah, So four percent of a million 961 00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:28,640 Speaker 2: is forty thousand dollars. When you look at it, like, 962 00:41:28,640 --> 00:41:29,680 Speaker 2: that's not that much money. 963 00:41:29,719 --> 00:41:32,960 Speaker 5: You're at break even pretty much, right, So maybe so. 964 00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:34,880 Speaker 2: Then five million, four percent of five million is two 965 00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:37,000 Speaker 2: hundred thousand dollars. So if you look at it from 966 00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:41,080 Speaker 2: that standpoint, especially with inflation and rise in health care costs, 967 00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:43,480 Speaker 2: not really a lot of money at all.

Ten year average? And since it's inception, 1098 00:47:17,040 --> 00:47:19,280 Speaker 2: absolutely so, since its inception is when it was created, 1099 00:47:19,960 --> 00:47:23,879 Speaker 2: so if it had like Franklin Dometech f on going 1100 00:47:23,920 --> 00:47:27,680 Speaker 2: back to that, So since it's inception nineteen sixty eight, 1101 00:47:27,760 --> 00:47:29,359 Speaker 2: is average nine point seven percent a year. 1102 00:47:29,440 --> 00:47:30,160 Speaker 4: That's incredible. 1103 00:47:30,520 --> 00:47:34,239 Speaker 2: So odds are Yep, it's average almost ten percent a 1104 00:47:34,320 --> 00:47:36,120 Speaker 2: year for sixty years. Yep, I'm not going to fall 1105 00:47:36,160 --> 00:47:38,839 Speaker 2: off the cliff and yet sixty one highly unlikely. Yep. 1106 00:47:38,920 --> 00:47:41,040 Speaker 2: You know what you're gonna get now something that is 1107 00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:44,279 Speaker 2: up forty seven percent for one year. But if I 1108 00:47:44,280 --> 00:47:47,759 Speaker 2: look in ten years and it's minus one. I can't 1109 00:47:47,760 --> 00:47:50,319 Speaker 2: trust you. Yeah, so you could look at four one 1110 00:47:50,400 --> 00:47:52,960 Speaker 2: k's that all of them the same thing. It's like, 1111 00:47:53,360 --> 00:47:56,520 Speaker 2: that's an easy way. That's the easiest way to look 1112 00:47:56,560 --> 00:47:58,359 Speaker 2: to see if it's a good investment or not look 1113 00:47:58,360 --> 00:48:01,200 Speaker 2: to see what it has done the future. It's always 1114 00:48:01,200 --> 00:48:02,160 Speaker 2: dictated by the past. 1115 00:48:02,200 --> 00:48:03,680 Speaker 4: Absolutely absolutely. 1116 00:48:03,719 --> 00:48:05,680 Speaker 5: And then because if you look at all the legacy 1117 00:48:05,680 --> 00:48:08,719 Speaker 5: companies and to make the analogies with players, bron has 1118 00:48:08,719 --> 00:48:11,160 Speaker 5: been good since he came out, Lebron's and that's why 1119 00:48:11,239 --> 00:48:14,399 Speaker 5: the wash King things funny, like eighty has been good 1120 00:48:14,440 --> 00:48:16,879 Speaker 5: since this came in. The players that were terrible five 1121 00:48:16,960 --> 00:48:18,320 Speaker 5: years ago, they're still terrible. 1122 00:48:18,760 --> 00:48:20,560 Speaker 4: And that's true of companies as well. 1123 00:48:20,600 --> 00:48:22,400 Speaker 5: So you looked at ten and fifteen year period and 1124 00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:23,880 Speaker 5: like you said, since inception. 1125 00:48:23,800 --> 00:48:25,120 Speaker 4: Like Apple has been a rocket. 1126 00:48:25,120 --> 00:48:27,040 Speaker 5: And I make the joke all the time, but Forrest 1127 00:48:27,080 --> 00:48:29,400 Speaker 5: Gump talked about Apple like there was a whole scene 1128 00:48:29,520 --> 00:48:31,640 Speaker 5: carved out about how he invested money and how much 1129 00:48:31,640 --> 00:48:34,680 Speaker 5: it grew, and Apple's continued to hit all time after 1130 00:48:34,719 --> 00:48:35,120 Speaker 5: all time. 1131 00:48:35,440 --> 00:48:37,839 Speaker 3: So we spoke about dividends when we spoke about bonds, Yeah, 1132 00:48:37,840 --> 00:48:40,560 Speaker 3: what are your thoughts on stocks? Dividend stocks. 1133 00:48:40,640 --> 00:48:41,080 Speaker 4: It's tough. 1134 00:48:41,320 --> 00:48:45,040 Speaker 5: There's only a few that I like, Apple, Microsoft, Mandalay. 1135 00:48:45,640 --> 00:48:48,279 Speaker 5: But my thing is, I want you to pair a 1136 00:48:48,280 --> 00:48:52,000 Speaker 5: dividend play with a company that is growing, so you 1137 00:48:52,080 --> 00:48:53,680 Speaker 5: still want to see that chart go up. A lot 1138 00:48:53,719 --> 00:48:57,360 Speaker 5: of dividend plays they pay because they're a bad company. 1139 00:48:57,600 --> 00:48:59,600 Speaker 5: So I always tell women it's like having a shitty 1140 00:48:59,640 --> 00:49:01,560 Speaker 5: boyfriend that I'll buy you a Gucci bag. Is there 1141 00:49:01,640 --> 00:49:04,480 Speaker 5: something that you really want to hold long term? I 1142 00:49:04,560 --> 00:49:07,520 Speaker 5: like for the company to grow and they going to 1143 00:49:07,560 --> 00:49:09,440 Speaker 5: pay us Like Apple and Microsoft are going to pay 1144 00:49:09,440 --> 00:49:12,640 Speaker 5: a smaller dividend, but the growth is incredible opposed to 1145 00:49:12,680 --> 00:49:15,440 Speaker 5: a company that may drop fifteen percent in the quarter, 1146 00:49:15,920 --> 00:49:17,799 Speaker 5: but they're giving you a two dollars diviting. It's like, 1147 00:49:17,840 --> 00:49:20,719 Speaker 5: am I really doing anything for you when your retirement 1148 00:49:20,760 --> 00:49:21,600 Speaker 5: is being dragged down? 1149 00:49:21,840 --> 00:49:23,799 Speaker 2: So but we didn't we didn't talk about bonds, Jack. 1150 00:49:23,920 --> 00:49:25,880 Speaker 2: I wanted to go on somewhere with that. The bond, 1151 00:49:25,960 --> 00:49:27,719 Speaker 2: So how do you make money on So now we 1152 00:49:27,760 --> 00:49:29,520 Speaker 2: explain what bonds are, but how do you make money 1153 00:49:29,560 --> 00:49:31,520 Speaker 2: on bonds? Because you said bonds is actually the best 1154 00:49:31,600 --> 00:49:34,319 Speaker 2: thing to try. Bond's features, So yeah, how does that? 1155 00:49:34,360 --> 00:49:35,080 Speaker 2: How does that work? 1156 00:49:35,200 --> 00:49:38,279 Speaker 5: So there's a unit of measurement called a tick. Think 1157 00:49:38,320 --> 00:49:42,760 Speaker 5: of it as a penny. So anytime that the bonds 1158 00:49:42,840 --> 00:49:45,000 Speaker 5: go up or down that you can make money whether 1159 00:49:45,040 --> 00:49:47,080 Speaker 5: the market goes up or down and pays thirty one 1160 00:49:47,120 --> 00:49:51,000 Speaker 5: dollars and twenty five cent per tick or per penny. 1161 00:49:51,080 --> 00:49:53,960 Speaker 5: So if you get fifty contracts and you ride it down, 1162 00:49:54,719 --> 00:49:57,160 Speaker 5: you can make money really faster. Now, from a long 1163 00:49:57,280 --> 00:49:59,719 Speaker 5: term investment play, there are some different theories of whether 1164 00:49:59,719 --> 00:50:02,160 Speaker 5: youho to have bonds in your mix or not. You can, 1165 00:50:02,800 --> 00:50:05,480 Speaker 5: but from a future standpoint, since it pays the most 1166 00:50:05,560 --> 00:50:06,440 Speaker 5: and it moves slow. 1167 00:50:06,719 --> 00:50:08,680 Speaker 4: So the thing about trading, what's. 1168 00:50:08,520 --> 00:50:10,360 Speaker 3: The court for each contract when you trade in bonds? 1169 00:50:10,400 --> 00:50:11,680 Speaker 4: Five hundred per same thing? 1170 00:50:11,800 --> 00:50:14,359 Speaker 5: Yeah, the same thing, five hundred per So you can 1171 00:50:14,400 --> 00:50:17,839 Speaker 5: get four pennies down with fifty contracts, and you can 1172 00:50:17,880 --> 00:50:20,439 Speaker 5: make a few thousand in a day doing it that way. 1173 00:50:20,520 --> 00:50:22,040 Speaker 4: And then this is the most important thing. 1174 00:50:22,080 --> 00:50:24,560 Speaker 5: After you trade, you have to take a good portion 1175 00:50:24,640 --> 00:50:26,880 Speaker 5: of the capital and then put it back into your 1176 00:50:26,920 --> 00:50:29,279 Speaker 5: long term and not go right to bottle pop and 1177 00:50:29,280 --> 00:50:31,960 Speaker 5: the vacations and tear down the mall and gallery or 1178 00:50:31,960 --> 00:50:32,840 Speaker 5: where I'm in Houston. 1179 00:50:32,920 --> 00:50:34,719 Speaker 3: So, yeah, are there any court where I think like 1180 00:50:34,719 --> 00:50:35,880 Speaker 3: commission calls anything. 1181 00:50:35,600 --> 00:50:36,520 Speaker 4: For that, Yeah, their costs. 1182 00:50:36,520 --> 00:50:38,440 Speaker 5: You can buy a lifetime license and you can lower 1183 00:50:38,560 --> 00:50:41,920 Speaker 5: and reduce your fees. So any financial transaction, you know 1184 00:50:42,040 --> 00:50:44,200 Speaker 5: there's going to be a cost associated with or a fee. 1185 00:50:44,719 --> 00:50:47,799 Speaker 5: But Ninja Trader has cheaper fees and I don't have 1186 00:50:47,880 --> 00:50:52,279 Speaker 5: any affiliate deals with them. But the fee structure is 1187 00:50:52,320 --> 00:50:56,239 Speaker 5: like a dollar forty five round trip, which is entry 1188 00:50:56,280 --> 00:50:58,800 Speaker 5: and then the dollar forty five out, which is pretty 1189 00:50:58,800 --> 00:51:02,000 Speaker 5: good because after you net profit, you're still walking away 1190 00:51:02,040 --> 00:51:04,360 Speaker 5: with probably twenty eight bucks per participant. 1191 00:51:04,480 --> 00:51:07,120 Speaker 4: Is there a difference between the commission calls and execution colls. 1192 00:51:07,480 --> 00:51:09,520 Speaker 5: Yeah, but they put them all in so you know, 1193 00:51:09,640 --> 00:51:11,640 Speaker 5: most brokerages they're going to have the different level of fees. 1194 00:51:11,719 --> 00:51:14,040 Speaker 5: So there's an entry cost of course, like a data 1195 00:51:14,040 --> 00:51:18,360 Speaker 5: feed and other things associated with it. But and the aggregate, 1196 00:51:18,760 --> 00:51:21,520 Speaker 5: like it's worth it because if you went to a 1197 00:51:21,520 --> 00:51:24,319 Speaker 5: bigger platform, like like I said, td Ameritrade, for the 1198 00:51:24,360 --> 00:51:26,160 Speaker 5: S and P you'll have to pay almost seven thousand, 1199 00:51:26,320 --> 00:51:27,839 Speaker 5: and then for bonds you will have to pay thirty 1200 00:51:27,840 --> 00:51:30,040 Speaker 5: five hundred. I know almost black people don't have that 1201 00:51:30,120 --> 00:51:34,600 Speaker 5: sitting around readily available. But for like and futures are 1202 00:51:34,640 --> 00:51:38,799 Speaker 5: for worth for mostly institutional investors and private investors. So 1203 00:51:39,360 --> 00:51:41,080 Speaker 5: that's why I've tried to wake people up around it 1204 00:51:41,080 --> 00:51:43,040 Speaker 5: because I see so many people going to four x 1205 00:51:43,040 --> 00:51:47,960 Speaker 5: and bitcoin and ethereum, and I'm like, invest where like 1206 00:51:48,760 --> 00:51:51,520 Speaker 5: Paul Tutor Jones isn't going on c see you talking 1207 00:51:51,520 --> 00:51:55,759 Speaker 5: about light coin? Like stop invest where the money and 1208 00:51:55,840 --> 00:51:58,680 Speaker 5: big money flows and then you can argue it. And 1209 00:51:58,680 --> 00:52:01,279 Speaker 5: this is my limitus test for everything. I'm like, how 1210 00:52:01,360 --> 00:52:04,160 Speaker 5: much money are you making from it? You can theorize 1211 00:52:04,160 --> 00:52:06,719 Speaker 5: how good something is, but I'm like, if bonds pays 1212 00:52:06,760 --> 00:52:09,560 Speaker 5: the most invests there And I always tell people, Okay, 1213 00:52:09,560 --> 00:52:11,359 Speaker 5: if you did your same job and I told you 1214 00:52:11,440 --> 00:52:14,520 Speaker 5: can make one hundred times more at the same job, 1215 00:52:14,560 --> 00:52:17,759 Speaker 5: what you switch companies? Yes, then I'm like, okay, then 1216 00:52:17,960 --> 00:52:20,600 Speaker 5: leave for X alone, leave crypto alone, and then just 1217 00:52:20,640 --> 00:52:23,440 Speaker 5: play butt. Like you said, you have competitions from day one. 1218 00:52:23,560 --> 00:52:25,799 Speaker 5: So when you trade futures, you're trading against every top 1219 00:52:25,840 --> 00:52:29,239 Speaker 5: trader and every top hedge fund day one.

All right, So this is the 1225 00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:45,719 Speaker 2: question that anybody wants to know, like how much money, 1226 00:52:45,719 --> 00:52:48,959 Speaker 2: what's realistic? And how much money can you make short 1227 00:52:49,000 --> 00:52:50,480 Speaker 2: term trading a ton. 1228 00:52:51,520 --> 00:52:55,280 Speaker 5: So when I first talked to the guy that introduced 1229 00:52:55,280 --> 00:52:56,640 Speaker 5: me to the futures, I'm like, how much can I make? 1230 00:52:56,680 --> 00:52:57,920 Speaker 4: And he was like, well, how much money can you 1231 00:52:57,920 --> 00:52:58,239 Speaker 4: put up? 1232 00:52:58,400 --> 00:53:01,120 Speaker 5: Because that determines how much you can But on a 1233 00:53:01,200 --> 00:53:04,320 Speaker 5: short end, let's say you can trade one hundred shares 1234 00:53:04,680 --> 00:53:07,279 Speaker 5: of the S and P five hundred and you only 1235 00:53:07,320 --> 00:53:10,600 Speaker 5: get one penny worth of movement up or down. That 1236 00:53:10,680 --> 00:53:13,560 Speaker 5: one penny represents twelve fifty. So if you get four 1237 00:53:13,560 --> 00:53:16,600 Speaker 5: present how much twelve fifty two hundred and fifty. 1238 00:53:16,880 --> 00:53:19,600 Speaker 4: So if you get four that would be five thousand. 1239 00:53:19,800 --> 00:53:23,200 Speaker 5: Now, on average, the market will move anywhere from seventy 1240 00:53:23,360 --> 00:53:27,120 Speaker 5: to ninety pennies in a day. I'm telling people only 1241 00:53:27,120 --> 00:53:30,000 Speaker 5: go for one or four to start. 1242 00:53:30,280 --> 00:53:32,440 Speaker 3: That's why you're saying invest first thing in the morning 1243 00:53:32,480 --> 00:53:33,600 Speaker 3: and right before clothes. 1244 00:53:33,480 --> 00:53:35,879 Speaker 5: Yep, because then you have all the volume coming through. 1245 00:53:35,920 --> 00:53:39,120 Speaker 5: And then what bonds is bonds pay more, you can 1246 00:53:39,160 --> 00:53:41,360 Speaker 5: make three four or five six thousand. So even with 1247 00:53:41,440 --> 00:53:43,279 Speaker 5: four texts, if you do fifty shares, you can make 1248 00:53:43,320 --> 00:53:44,160 Speaker 5: three thousand. 1249 00:53:43,880 --> 00:53:44,360 Speaker 4: One hundred. 1250 00:53:44,440 --> 00:53:48,120 Speaker 2: How much money invested, twelve thousand, five hundred, twelve thousand, 1251 00:53:48,160 --> 00:53:52,520 Speaker 2: five hundred invested, Yeah, you can make how muche twenty five? 1252 00:53:52,920 --> 00:53:54,600 Speaker 5: Yeah, and so the more you put in. So people 1253 00:53:54,640 --> 00:53:56,880 Speaker 5: always ask how much should I start with? I'm like, 1254 00:53:56,960 --> 00:53:59,960 Speaker 5: ten grand, twenty five grand. If you can do fifty, great, 1255 00:54:00,160 --> 00:54:02,840 Speaker 5: if you can do one hundred better, Everyone's at different levels. 1256 00:54:02,840 --> 00:54:04,560 Speaker 5: I'm like, but if you don't have ten, you should 1257 00:54:04,560 --> 00:54:06,200 Speaker 5: not be inter day investing at all. 1258 00:54:06,360 --> 00:54:09,359 Speaker 2: Long term investing, yeah, yeah, start there. 1259 00:54:09,520 --> 00:54:12,200 Speaker 5: Like if you don't have ten put away, start with 1260 00:54:12,239 --> 00:54:14,520 Speaker 5: that because Apple in ten years is going to be great. 1261 00:54:15,040 --> 00:54:17,080 Speaker 5: And I think too many people like you said, try 1262 00:54:17,080 --> 00:54:19,520 Speaker 5: and gamble because they're behind. But I'm like, start with 1263 00:54:19,560 --> 00:54:23,680 Speaker 5: the basics. The first level is index funds, second is technology, 1264 00:54:23,680 --> 00:54:25,520 Speaker 5: and then you can go to short term investing. 1265 00:54:25,840 --> 00:54:26,279 Speaker 4: After that. 1266 00:54:26,960 --> 00:54:30,000 Speaker 2: You have a strategy to make three and twenty five 1267 00:54:30,040 --> 00:54:32,839 Speaker 2: dollars in a day trading bond futures. Yeah, I said 1268 00:54:32,960 --> 00:54:34,320 Speaker 2: very specific number. 1269 00:54:35,000 --> 00:54:38,040 Speaker 5: So yeah, because each penny is thirty one twenty five 1270 00:54:38,120 --> 00:54:39,759 Speaker 5: per So you guys can do the math. If you 1271 00:54:39,800 --> 00:54:43,399 Speaker 5: do fifty contracts, you have four pennies times thirty one 1272 00:54:43,440 --> 00:54:47,319 Speaker 5: point twenty five, that gives you thirty one twenty five. 1273 00:54:47,360 --> 00:54:49,520 Speaker 4: So it's a day. Yeah, in a day. 1274 00:54:50,200 --> 00:54:50,839 Speaker 2: How do you do that? 1275 00:54:51,480 --> 00:54:52,960 Speaker 5: So you have place the order. So let's say I 1276 00:54:52,960 --> 00:54:55,600 Speaker 5: think bonds are falling, I will place the order. Let's 1277 00:54:55,600 --> 00:54:59,640 Speaker 5: say at fifty six twenty five the market will there 1278 00:54:59,640 --> 00:55:02,120 Speaker 5: will be tag the way. I have an exit point 1279 00:55:02,360 --> 00:55:05,120 Speaker 5: for those four pennies. I will buy fifty shares of it, 1280 00:55:05,160 --> 00:55:08,000 Speaker 5: and then if it drops that four it automatically takes 1281 00:55:08,040 --> 00:55:09,600 Speaker 5: me out. So you don't have to worry about, well, 1282 00:55:09,600 --> 00:55:11,720 Speaker 5: what if it goes down eight and comes back. 1283 00:55:11,560 --> 00:55:12,759 Speaker 3: To your stop loss? Yeah? 1284 00:55:13,080 --> 00:55:15,600 Speaker 5: Yeah, And then you have a predetermined target. So on 1285 00:55:15,640 --> 00:55:18,480 Speaker 5: every trade you need a predetermined target or a target 1286 00:55:18,480 --> 00:55:20,520 Speaker 5: that you're gonna hit. So think of it like a 1287 00:55:20,560 --> 00:55:22,759 Speaker 5: sales goal. Like once you hit that goal, you have 1288 00:55:22,840 --> 00:55:25,439 Speaker 5: to stop. So a lot of people when they trade, 1289 00:55:25,480 --> 00:55:27,439 Speaker 5: they want to leave the money in all day. It's 1290 00:55:27,480 --> 00:55:29,480 Speaker 5: not designed for that. You have to have a predetermined 1291 00:55:29,480 --> 00:55:32,320 Speaker 5: target in which you will exit, and that four penny 1292 00:55:32,400 --> 00:55:35,560 Speaker 5: or four tick target is the easiest one that you can. 1293 00:55:35,520 --> 00:55:38,000 Speaker 2: Hit, so you put it in and then what's the 1294 00:55:38,040 --> 00:55:41,880 Speaker 2: sales target again? Four pennies four pennies up? Yeah, So 1295 00:55:41,920 --> 00:55:43,520 Speaker 2: if you're buying, you want a four pennies up. If 1296 00:55:43,520 --> 00:55:45,959 Speaker 2: you're shortening, which means you to profit when the market 1297 00:55:46,040 --> 00:55:49,319 Speaker 2: drops four pennies down and then you're golden. So what's 1298 00:55:49,320 --> 00:55:51,080 Speaker 2: the stop loss? All right? Four pennies up? I got that, 1299 00:55:51,120 --> 00:55:52,520 Speaker 2: but what's the stop loss on that? You can set 1300 00:55:52,520 --> 00:55:55,319 Speaker 2: it that eight eight pennies down, yeah, because you have 1301 00:55:55,360 --> 00:55:55,759 Speaker 2: to give us. 1302 00:55:55,680 --> 00:55:56,320 Speaker 4: Some room to breathe. 1303 00:55:56,320 --> 00:55:59,160 Speaker 5: And then when you get into more advanced, higher targets 1304 00:55:59,160 --> 00:56:02,000 Speaker 5: than you would have have four penny target and then 1305 00:56:02,040 --> 00:56:05,839 Speaker 5: now you excuse me, eight tick stop loss and then 1306 00:56:05,960 --> 00:56:07,640 Speaker 5: like a sixty tick profit target. 1307 00:56:07,640 --> 00:56:08,480 Speaker 4: So now you're in. 1308 00:56:08,360 --> 00:56:10,719 Speaker 5: Like a positive risk reward because I can see the 1309 00:56:10,840 --> 00:56:12,360 Speaker 5: wheels spending as an advisor. 1310 00:56:13,320 --> 00:56:15,120 Speaker 4: It's a negative risk of award on a smaller one. 1311 00:56:15,160 --> 00:56:16,839 Speaker 5: But I tell people like, if you have a higher 1312 00:56:16,920 --> 00:56:19,360 Speaker 5: risk of reward, you don't have to win as many trades, 1313 00:56:20,400 --> 00:56:22,560 Speaker 5: because if you have a fifteen to one or ten 1314 00:56:22,560 --> 00:56:24,560 Speaker 5: to one ratio, you can lose seven eight trades and 1315 00:56:24,640 --> 00:56:27,359 Speaker 5: on your ninth trade make all the money back, wipe 1316 00:56:27,400 --> 00:56:29,840 Speaker 5: away your losses and all your losses and then. 1317 00:56:29,719 --> 00:56:34,120 Speaker 3: Being profit one of your strategies having eleven to one. 1318 00:56:34,560 --> 00:56:37,840 Speaker 5: Because you're going to perform bad some days, like everyone 1319 00:56:37,960 --> 00:56:40,719 Speaker 5: isn't able to be emotionally disciplined. You may have a 1320 00:56:40,840 --> 00:56:42,839 Speaker 5: fight with your lady, your kids may bother, you may 1321 00:56:42,840 --> 00:56:45,840 Speaker 5: be tired. So if I tell you to invest in 1322 00:56:45,880 --> 00:56:47,759 Speaker 5: the S and P and it goes up, your first 1323 00:56:47,840 --> 00:56:48,959 Speaker 5: two trades may be bad. 1324 00:56:49,360 --> 00:56:51,799 Speaker 4: Your third one will work out. But if you. 1325 00:56:51,760 --> 00:56:55,400 Speaker 5: Can't out perform math, no matter how much willpower you have. 1326 00:56:56,160 --> 00:56:58,920 Speaker 5: So if you have a one to one risk of reward, 1327 00:56:58,960 --> 00:57:01,799 Speaker 5: you only have one trade to win two to one, 1328 00:57:01,800 --> 00:57:04,160 Speaker 5: you can lose two trades before you're negative. We don't 1329 00:57:04,200 --> 00:57:06,719 Speaker 5: want to risk fifty percent of our money on two 1330 00:57:06,760 --> 00:57:08,680 Speaker 5: trades because that's like playing roulette. 1331 00:57:08,719 --> 00:57:09,840 Speaker 4: Almost at that point. 1332 00:57:09,960 --> 00:57:12,080 Speaker 5: Anybody in here I think can win one trade out 1333 00:57:12,080 --> 00:57:14,200 Speaker 5: of eleven and then still be profitable. It just it's 1334 00:57:14,239 --> 00:57:18,320 Speaker 5: a financial assessment that you'll be able to make to know, Okay, 1335 00:57:18,360 --> 00:57:20,240 Speaker 5: even if only make one out of eleven, I can 1336 00:57:20,280 --> 00:57:22,480 Speaker 5: still be able to profit. Most people are doing one 1337 00:57:22,520 --> 00:57:25,080 Speaker 5: to one ratio, so they'll risk one hundred to make 1338 00:57:25,120 --> 00:57:27,200 Speaker 5: a hundred, and then they lose and now they're out 1339 00:57:27,200 --> 00:57:27,479 Speaker 5: of Montive. 1340 00:57:27,600 --> 00:57:29,720 Speaker 2: So all right, So it's like, you got a thousand 1341 00:57:29,760 --> 00:57:32,320 Speaker 2: dollars to invest most people putting a thousand dollars in 1342 00:57:32,320 --> 00:57:34,520 Speaker 2: one investment, You should do that, and they just rolling 1343 00:57:34,560 --> 00:57:35,040 Speaker 2: the dice for it. 1344 00:57:35,080 --> 00:57:37,080 Speaker 5: I mean, we've all heard don't put your eggs in 1345 00:57:37,120 --> 00:57:39,120 Speaker 5: one basket. And then when it comes to financial stuff 1346 00:57:39,320 --> 00:57:39,560 Speaker 5: is like. 1347 00:57:39,760 --> 00:57:42,120 Speaker 2: All the handsight, yeah goes out the way you're saying, 1348 00:57:42,160 --> 00:57:43,600 Speaker 2: if you have a thousand dollars, you should never put 1349 00:57:43,720 --> 00:57:45,280 Speaker 2: ninety more than ninety. 1350 00:57:45,480 --> 00:57:48,040 Speaker 5: No, yeah, because you want to cap the risk on 1351 00:57:48,080 --> 00:57:51,120 Speaker 5: every trade. So if you lose the ninety on a thousand, 1352 00:57:51,200 --> 00:57:53,080 Speaker 5: it's not going to ruin your day. If you lose 1353 00:57:53,080 --> 00:57:55,360 Speaker 5: eight to fifty out of a thousand, you're going to 1354 00:57:55,360 --> 00:57:57,880 Speaker 5: be pissed. You're going to be pissed. And that's true 1355 00:57:57,880 --> 00:58:00,360 Speaker 5: of every business. So we know we need to bring 1356 00:58:00,360 --> 00:58:02,400 Speaker 5: in customers at a certain rate. There's a certain amount 1357 00:58:02,440 --> 00:58:04,760 Speaker 5: you can spend on ads for that. These numbers are 1358 00:58:04,760 --> 00:58:05,920 Speaker 5: true in every business. 1359 00:58:07,400 --> 00:58:09,560 Speaker 3: On a good week, right the market's out. If we're 1360 00:58:09,560 --> 00:58:11,160 Speaker 3: doing the thirty one to twenty five strategy, we're talking 1361 00:58:11,200 --> 00:58:13,840 Speaker 3: them over fifteen thousand a week at that point we're 1362 00:58:13,840 --> 00:58:16,600 Speaker 3: doing this full time. At what point do you become 1363 00:58:16,600 --> 00:58:18,360 Speaker 3: a master and you can now do this full time. 1364 00:58:19,040 --> 00:58:21,800 Speaker 5: It depends on what your what your financial targets are. 1365 00:58:21,920 --> 00:58:23,959 Speaker 5: So for me, what's made it easier is like being 1366 00:58:24,000 --> 00:58:26,320 Speaker 5: really disciplined. So my grandmother used to say, like, baby, 1367 00:58:26,360 --> 00:58:29,000 Speaker 5: pay down on your debt, no credit cards. 1368 00:58:28,680 --> 00:58:30,960 Speaker 4: Out the grandma, Yeah, I know. And then Dave. 1369 00:58:30,880 --> 00:58:32,800 Speaker 5: Ramsey got super popular, and I'm like, this all the 1370 00:58:32,840 --> 00:58:33,800 Speaker 5: stuff my grandma told me. 1371 00:58:33,880 --> 00:58:35,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, I wrote one close. She was like, negative thoughts 1372 00:58:35,920 --> 00:58:38,680 Speaker 3: have negative actions with these negative results, yeah, it seems 1373 00:58:38,680 --> 00:58:39,480 Speaker 3: reversal positive. 1374 00:58:39,560 --> 00:58:41,200 Speaker 4: And I didn't want to hear it. She of like, 1375 00:58:41,240 --> 00:58:42,680 Speaker 4: altitude determines your altitude. 1376 00:58:42,680 --> 00:58:44,280 Speaker 5: I'm like, I do not want to hear that, but 1377 00:58:44,320 --> 00:58:47,480 Speaker 5: as an adult, it's very true. And then we have 1378 00:58:47,640 --> 00:58:51,120 Speaker 5: so much stress in our household because financially we're upside down. 1379 00:58:51,120 --> 00:58:53,280 Speaker 5: Like I remember when we were broke, our family would 1380 00:58:53,280 --> 00:58:56,600 Speaker 5: fight about everything, the remote control, who gets to watch 1381 00:58:56,600 --> 00:59:00,000 Speaker 5: the TV when we would go out. Having financial freedom 1382 00:59:00,080 --> 00:59:02,080 Speaker 5: takes that away. So a lot of times people think 1383 00:59:02,120 --> 00:59:03,480 Speaker 5: they need to earn more. I'm like, you need to 1384 00:59:03,560 --> 00:59:06,120 Speaker 5: knock that them debt down and quit overspending. And that's 1385 00:59:06,120 --> 00:59:07,960 Speaker 5: a hard part and we all know it. As you 1386 00:59:08,000 --> 00:59:11,760 Speaker 5: get more money, that income crete happens, and then now 1387 00:59:11,760 --> 00:59:14,120 Speaker 5: it's like, Okay, I don't want the bands anymore. I 1388 00:59:14,200 --> 00:59:16,520 Speaker 5: want the Bentley, but the cost of soche with it 1389 00:59:16,560 --> 00:59:19,400 Speaker 5: and repairs are tough upgraded in the household. You have 1390 00:59:19,480 --> 00:59:21,680 Speaker 5: to keep the debt down first and then you won't 1391 00:59:21,760 --> 00:59:23,320 Speaker 5: need to make as much. But you can go full 1392 00:59:23,320 --> 00:59:26,040 Speaker 5: time after you're discipline and you constantly have hit those 1393 00:59:26,040 --> 00:59:27,320 Speaker 5: same numbers over and over again. 1394 00:59:27,760 --> 00:59:30,000 Speaker 2: Dave Ramsey made a half a billion dollars by telling 1395 00:59:30,040 --> 00:59:33,360 Speaker 2: people not to use any debt. That's it smart. 1396 00:59:33,400 --> 00:59:36,160 Speaker 4: But look number one, follow seven step system. 1397 00:59:36,440 --> 00:59:39,720 Speaker 5: He followed the same system over and over again. Yea, 1398 00:59:40,240 --> 00:59:42,439 Speaker 5: over and repeat it the same message. So it goes 1399 00:59:42,440 --> 00:59:44,320 Speaker 5: back to say the same thing. With trading, you gotta 1400 00:59:44,320 --> 00:59:46,400 Speaker 5: follow the same plan. And Day's been saying the same 1401 00:59:46,440 --> 00:59:50,680 Speaker 5: thing like thirty years, very few changes to it. So 1402 00:59:50,840 --> 00:59:55,760 Speaker 5: most importantly, like take what I'm saying and to everyone watching, 1403 00:59:55,920 --> 00:59:59,520 Speaker 5: like follow what the top five companies do. Apples systems 1404 00:59:59,520 --> 01:00:02,880 Speaker 5: are down, they only have a few products. Manufacturings are incredible. 1405 01:00:03,040 --> 01:00:06,080 Speaker 5: They are following the same blueprint. That's why everyone jokes like, man, 1406 01:00:06,120 --> 01:00:08,200 Speaker 5: they're just putting out the same phone again. But I'm like, 1407 01:00:08,280 --> 01:00:10,600 Speaker 5: if three million people are buying them, and I bought 1408 01:00:10,680 --> 01:00:13,360 Speaker 5: the new phone when it came out, why change it? 1409 01:00:13,920 --> 01:00:14,560 Speaker 4: Why change it? 1410 01:00:14,600 --> 01:00:15,360 Speaker 2: Stick to the script? 1411 01:00:15,440 --> 01:00:15,640 Speaker 4: Yep. 1412 01:00:15,920 --> 01:00:18,600 Speaker 2: So all right, so can you talk about your platform 1413 01:00:18,640 --> 01:00:19,160 Speaker 2: Red Panda? 1414 01:00:19,480 --> 01:00:22,680 Speaker 5: Yeah, so Red Panda is my baby that was birthed 1415 01:00:22,760 --> 01:00:25,800 Speaker 5: by accident because I never intended to show anyone my blueprint. 1416 01:00:26,080 --> 01:00:27,880 Speaker 5: So we have a couple of different programs for people 1417 01:00:27,920 --> 01:00:30,480 Speaker 5: that are interested to learn how to invest. If you're 1418 01:00:30,520 --> 01:00:33,520 Speaker 5: not financially stable, you should not be interday or short 1419 01:00:33,600 --> 01:00:34,360 Speaker 5: term investing at all. 1420 01:00:34,440 --> 01:00:35,200 Speaker 4: Always start there. 1421 01:00:35,800 --> 01:00:39,440 Speaker 5: So my foundation, of course is long term investing first, 1422 01:00:39,760 --> 01:00:41,480 Speaker 5: but I have a couple of different programs like Alpha 1423 01:00:41,520 --> 01:00:44,000 Speaker 5: is a more expensive program that teaches you how to 1424 01:00:44,040 --> 01:00:46,120 Speaker 5: make between ten to twenty five grand in a month, 1425 01:00:46,480 --> 01:00:49,920 Speaker 5: and then the one K program is the program that's 1426 01:00:49,960 --> 01:00:53,120 Speaker 5: really like I probably have maybe six hundred students in 1427 01:00:53,160 --> 01:00:55,480 Speaker 5: their program, and majority of are black women. So I 1428 01:00:55,520 --> 01:00:58,880 Speaker 5: saw avoid that a lot of people were talking about 1429 01:00:58,920 --> 01:01:02,440 Speaker 5: investing but not teaching us because they need someone like 1430 01:01:02,520 --> 01:01:04,880 Speaker 5: us that they can relate to to be able to 1431 01:01:05,800 --> 01:01:07,760 Speaker 5: show them how to be able to do it. So 1432 01:01:08,640 --> 01:01:10,600 Speaker 5: I've had an incredible run with the women in the 1433 01:01:10,640 --> 01:01:12,880 Speaker 5: program and been able to get some great results for them. 1434 01:01:12,880 --> 01:01:15,400 Speaker 5: But the one K a day program is designed to 1435 01:01:15,480 --> 01:01:18,200 Speaker 5: help you learn how to trade futures and when you 1436 01:01:18,240 --> 01:01:19,600 Speaker 5: do trade, you can make. 1437 01:01:19,440 --> 01:01:21,640 Speaker 4: A thousand dollars in a day and then you'll be good. 1438 01:01:22,080 --> 01:01:24,320 Speaker 3: So you got six hundred students, what's the success rate? 1439 01:01:24,360 --> 01:01:25,960 Speaker 3: Are they coming to you, like, is there a massimind 1440 01:01:25,960 --> 01:01:29,800 Speaker 3: class where everybody's discussing their results or it's. 1441 01:01:29,880 --> 01:01:31,960 Speaker 5: Like in pods of like two hundred they'll come in 1442 01:01:32,160 --> 01:01:33,840 Speaker 5: and then so it's the same eighty twenty rule, like 1443 01:01:33,880 --> 01:01:36,880 Speaker 5: eighty percent will do great, twenty percent won't follow the 1444 01:01:36,960 --> 01:01:38,480 Speaker 5: rules and then they won't do well. 1445 01:01:38,520 --> 01:01:40,640 Speaker 4: So nothing has one hundred percent success rate. 1446 01:01:40,920 --> 01:01:42,680 Speaker 5: But if you come in and follow the blueprint a plan, 1447 01:01:43,160 --> 01:01:47,680 Speaker 5: and I've posted this year probably one hundred and fifty testimonials, 1448 01:01:47,720 --> 01:01:49,880 Speaker 5: and I tell people anytime, like, if you don't, don't 1449 01:01:49,880 --> 01:01:52,240 Speaker 5: believe me, because I know from outside looking in and 1450 01:01:52,280 --> 01:01:55,400 Speaker 5: sound like some bullshit, But I'm like, if I was 1451 01:01:55,440 --> 01:01:56,240 Speaker 5: doing something wrong. 1452 01:01:56,120 --> 01:01:57,760 Speaker 4: And they weren't women, it weren't winning. 1453 01:01:57,960 --> 01:01:59,960 Speaker 5: Black women will tell you because most of them are 1454 01:02:00,040 --> 01:02:01,200 Speaker 5: black women in the program. 1455 01:02:01,560 --> 01:02:04,200 Speaker 4: So the results have been posted a year after year. 1456 01:02:04,240 --> 01:02:06,600 Speaker 3: Now are they trading for themselves inside the program or 1457 01:02:06,600 --> 01:02:07,520 Speaker 3: are you doing the trade. 1458 01:02:07,320 --> 01:02:09,240 Speaker 5: They're trading for them So on our call, we have 1459 01:02:09,280 --> 01:02:12,000 Speaker 5: a daily call on every day chat Monday through Friday. 1460 01:02:12,000 --> 01:02:14,280 Speaker 5: Like I'll call out spots where they should not get 1461 01:02:14,280 --> 01:02:17,000 Speaker 5: in because they are either buying too high or they're 1462 01:02:17,000 --> 01:02:19,760 Speaker 5: trying to shorter low, but they're doing it for themselves. 1463 01:02:19,760 --> 01:02:22,200 Speaker 5: So even like like Monica is one of my students, 1464 01:02:22,280 --> 01:02:24,600 Speaker 5: she took seven hundred and turned that to twelve thousand. 1465 01:02:25,560 --> 01:02:27,800 Speaker 4: Angi's making a thousand dollars a day. 1466 01:02:27,840 --> 01:02:30,280 Speaker 5: She's been with me about six weeks. And then one 1467 01:02:30,320 --> 01:02:33,600 Speaker 5: of my students, Carry who's from my home county. She's 1468 01:02:33,640 --> 01:02:35,760 Speaker 5: probably my best student in the program. Like her win 1469 01:02:35,840 --> 01:02:39,400 Speaker 5: percentage is now is eighty nine percent for four months, 1470 01:02:39,400 --> 01:02:40,400 Speaker 5: so what she's doing incredible. 1471 01:02:40,400 --> 01:02:42,160 Speaker 3: One of your rules is that you never want to 1472 01:02:42,200 --> 01:02:43,160 Speaker 3: buy in the middle. 1473 01:02:43,320 --> 01:02:46,160 Speaker 5: Camp because because a moving average literally tells you what 1474 01:02:46,200 --> 01:02:48,720 Speaker 5: it is you're buying at an average price, I want to buy. 1475 01:02:48,560 --> 01:02:50,640 Speaker 4: It extremes so extreme low. 1476 01:02:50,720 --> 01:02:54,320 Speaker 5: So like when the Iran stuff happened or any there's 1477 01:02:54,360 --> 01:02:56,160 Speaker 5: a hard push down in the market, I'm like buy 1478 01:02:56,640 --> 01:03:00,160 Speaker 5: stocks then during times of crisis, because then they're going 1479 01:03:00,200 --> 01:03:02,240 Speaker 5: to shoot back up. Most people buy in the middle 1480 01:03:02,240 --> 01:03:05,600 Speaker 5: when the market is doing okay, or Google had all 1481 01:03:05,640 --> 01:03:06,880 Speaker 5: time high and people are like, well, I need to 1482 01:03:06,880 --> 01:03:09,320 Speaker 5: buy Google today. I'm like, you're buying too high. So 1483 01:03:10,160 --> 01:03:12,439 Speaker 5: we all know on Black Friday that's when the deals are. 1484 01:03:12,600 --> 01:03:15,120 Speaker 5: When the market falls apart, that's the time to buy. 1485 01:03:15,440 --> 01:03:17,400 Speaker 5: You don't want to buy when everything is at its 1486 01:03:17,440 --> 01:03:20,080 Speaker 5: highest price, and we all know to do that, but 1487 01:03:20,160 --> 01:03:23,040 Speaker 5: it's the emotion part and then emotional discipline to actually 1488 01:03:23,080 --> 01:03:25,040 Speaker 5: do it, because it's scary as hell. When the market 1489 01:03:25,120 --> 01:03:27,880 Speaker 5: is falling five hundred points and I'm like, Okay, should 1490 01:03:27,880 --> 01:03:30,520 Speaker 5: I buy today, that's when it's on sale. I ask 1491 01:03:30,560 --> 01:03:32,840 Speaker 5: every woman if I can get you the lubetons for 1492 01:03:32,880 --> 01:03:36,120 Speaker 5: two fifty instead of the fifteen hundred which you get them. Yes, 1493 01:03:36,320 --> 01:03:39,120 Speaker 5: it's the same theory, but when we invest, you're buying 1494 01:03:39,120 --> 01:03:42,760 Speaker 5: them at seventeen hundred instead of fifteen hundred. You're over pain, 1495 01:03:43,280 --> 01:03:44,880 Speaker 5: you over paying, and they're crazy. And you know this 1496 01:03:44,960 --> 01:03:48,040 Speaker 5: being an advisor. There's like many crashes that happen every month, 1497 01:03:48,640 --> 01:03:51,240 Speaker 5: so everyone's been waiting for a big recession that happen 1498 01:03:51,280 --> 01:03:54,120 Speaker 5: because they want to recreate the big short a crash 1499 01:03:54,120 --> 01:03:56,959 Speaker 5: happens every month. There hasn't been one month and where 1500 01:03:57,080 --> 01:04:00,439 Speaker 5: stocks and the index funds have not come downple don't 1501 01:04:00,440 --> 01:04:02,600 Speaker 5: have the discipline to wait and just say, Okay, when 1502 01:04:02,640 --> 01:04:05,080 Speaker 5: we dropped five hundred points on a dot or thousand, 1503 01:04:05,120 --> 01:04:06,840 Speaker 5: I'm going to buy that day, that's the time to 1504 01:04:06,840 --> 01:04:07,600 Speaker 5: buy it because it's on. 1505 01:04:07,640 --> 01:04:08,480 Speaker 2: So by low. 1506 01:04:08,600 --> 01:04:10,520 Speaker 4: So it's the same strategy over there. 1507 01:04:10,600 --> 01:04:14,680 Speaker 2: And most people, you know, they buy hid and so low. Yep, 1508 01:04:15,160 --> 01:04:17,960 Speaker 2: most people do Yep. Some emotions. Nobody wants to fomo 1509 01:04:18,360 --> 01:04:21,600 Speaker 2: missing absolutely. Nobody wants to feel like it's like bitcoin. 1510 01:04:21,640 --> 01:04:24,720 Speaker 2: Perfect example, most people brought bitcoin at nineteen eighteen thousand 1511 01:04:25,160 --> 01:04:26,760 Speaker 2: and then they sold it at three thousand because they 1512 01:04:26,760 --> 01:04:28,120 Speaker 2: thought it was gonna go to zero and they didn't 1513 01:04:28,120 --> 01:04:29,320 Speaker 2: want to have like a complete loss. 1514 01:04:29,400 --> 01:04:30,440 Speaker 4: Yeah. 1515 01:04:31,040 --> 01:04:33,360 Speaker 2: Logic goes out the window when emotions come into. 1516 01:04:33,200 --> 01:04:34,880 Speaker 4: Play and money's in play too.
