How to Get Filthy Rich in the Stock Market‼️

If you've been watching the channel for years, you know every once in a while I do a very rare video and it's called a gem dropper. And that is where I just drop gems on you. And that's this video here today. I'm going to give you my very best advice for getting filthy rich in the stock market. That's what we're going to be discussing in this video here today. My best tips of everything. And throughout this video, I'm also going to slip in a few stocks that I believe are gamechanging, life-changing stocks over the next several years. So, I hope you guys enjoy this. I hope you appreciate me taking the time to do this video here today. Uh, I've thought a lot about this and I want to give you my very best advice out there. One thing, one thing only, I need from you. If you could just smash that like button on this video that would show me me you appreciate a video like this and that's all I need from you. Make sure you're subscribed to the channel. Also, we got a lot to go through in this video. So, let's just start getting through it. Okay, here we go folks. Okay, listen. First up, understand this is possible. You're never going to be able to reach a level of we can call it getting to a place where you have millions of dollars invested in the market or something like that or more money than you could have ever dreamt without first understanding and believing that it is possible. Right? And so look no different than myself and my levels of success over time. I sit in front of you today as a 36-y old and I got started in this game right around 18 years old. Right? In terms of the money game, my first investments were 250 bucks, right? uh started from very humble beginnings. I was started investing back in the Walgreens days, right? And I would read physical annual reports, try to find the next great company. And so if we fast forward about 5 years later or so, $200,000 I had just in my stock market portfolio alone, right? And so then I hit a million plus, let's see, I was about 28. So it took me about a decade to get to a million dollars plus. And then I hit multi-millionaire status very shortly after that, probably a couple years after that, right? And then we just continue to grow and grow and grow as the years ticked on. And so I'm very much a proof point that this is possible. You know, I don't care what level you're at. I was making $8.25 an hour when I first got in this game, right? And so just understand whatever level you're at right now, it's probably better than I was just to be quite frank with you, right? And so you're probably ahead of me. And so understand it's possible. And it would be one thing if it's just me and I'm like the only person that had success. This was just last week and this is members of my private stock group. I had to sign 51 six figure trophies. Meaning people have reached now six figures plus in their portfolio. I had to sign 12 trophies that are for individuals that just hit seven figures plus in their stock market portfolio alone. Not seven figure net worth, seven figures plus in your stock market portfolio alone to get a seven figure club, right? And so understand like this is very very possible. I've seen it over the years like since I opened my private group a few years ago. The amount of people that have scaled to seven figures, eight figures, right? Multi6 figures in their portfolio. It's an insane number, right? This collage is like an old collage. And most people that reach the Hall of Fame, they don't even ever send in a photo. It's insane to see the levels of success that people have out there. So understand and believe this is very possible. I don't care where you're trying to go. Whether you want to be a millionaire in the stock market, a multi-millionaire, 10, you know, $10 million plus net worth, wherever you're going, it's very very possible and u plenty of people have achieved myself and many many individuals in general. Okay, so understand that first and foremost. Number two, more income than expenses. This is something I very simple I always have to cover, right? You need to be in a position. You want to you want to get to big dog money, you got to be in a position to buy at least twice a month. Okay? At least twice a month, you're able to regularly buy stocks. Listen, this is not just important on a mathematical basis, but this is important on a psychological basis. Okay? By the way, uh for my loyal subscribers out there, I'll be showing you some home photos as this video ticks on here. So, hopefully that makes it a little exciting for you guys. I know I haven't shown much around my new house yet. I hope you like it. Okay? But this is very important on a psychological level. Listen, you got to stay on offense. One of the biggest mistakes investors make is they start playing defense, right? They get on their back foot. They start playing defense. And you could do that by not regularly buying. If you're regularly buying, right, at least twice a month, you're in a position where you're always thinking about, I need to add ownership, more ownership of great companies. I need to add a bigger ownership stake. Bigger ownership stake. When you start playing defense, which is a mentality you can get in if you're not able to consistently invest in the market, right? That's bad. That's when you start thinking, maybe I should sell all my stocks, maybe the market's going to go down, maybe this is going to happen, maybe that's going to happen, right? Maybe I should start taking out margin. All these mistakes can be made because you start thinking defensive. I've been able to be on the offense now for 18 years. Cuz even back when I was working those, you know, crap jobs and making very small amounts of money, I still always lived under my means. I still always had more income than expenses. And if it meant I could invest a couple hundred bucks a month, it was a couple hundred bucks a month, but it wasn't nothing. It wasn't zero, right? And then I got a better job. And then I got promoted and I started being able to invest, you know, $2,000, $3,000 a month, you know, a really good month, right? And you know, always just that keeps you in that offensive mentality. There was a year where I retired retired, right? And I didn't do anything workrelated. It's when my first son was born. I have three childrens now. Um but when my first son was born, I took a full year off. Didn't do anything workrelated. I still did stocks, right? And that year, I thought more defensively than I ever thought. Not because I had a kid, but because I had no income. And so I wasn't able to consistently invest in the market. And next thing you know, I'm messing around with margin. Next thing you know, I'm like uh playing these games of trying to get allin stocks, all out of stocks. Oh, this stock's going to report earnings. Let me try to jump into this. Oh, let me get out of the stock because they're they might go down on their earnings. All these like defensive like signals, right? Because I'm not able to consistently invest in the market. Then I start my real estate marketing company. I start getting back into the offense again. Oh my gosh, it is like the best feeling to be on the offense, right? Especially as an individual stock picker. when you start moving to defense, it's it's not good on a math basis or on a psychological basis. You'll end up costing yourself a lot of money. So, you got to have more income than expenses and focus more on the income side than the expense size. Okay. Next up here, third thing, focus on the long term. People underestimate consistently what they're able to pull off over a 10, 15, 20 year span. Right? everybody. I mean, there's a lot of people that are in such a now thought process, right? And you know, I don't know what it is. You know, maybe maybe too many adults when they were kids, maybe their parents just gave them everything they ever wanted, right? And they cried a little bit and then their parent gave them the toy or gave them whatever, right? I don't know what's going on. Maybe it's social media and it's the dopamine of like, you know, the next real and the next Tik Tok video. I don't know what it is, right? But way too many people are are like need the results right this minute, right this second, right this week, right today, right? Rather than focusing on the long term. Nothing no one that ever got filthy rich in the stock market ever thought short- term. Not one. Not one. Not one person on that billionaire Forbes list that you could look at. Not one person got there based upon short-term thinking. Every single person was focused on the long term and built something unbelievable over a 10, 15, 20, 30, 40 years span. Every single one of them. And so to to be of the thought process of like, you know, I'm just going to strike it rich in the next 6 months is a foolish mentality. You've got to focus on the long term, right? My new house overlooks the whole city of Las Vegas, right? Right down the Las Vegas strip. And imagine I said, you know, imagine nothing was down there. And I was like, we're going to build this amazing Las Vegas strip and all these huge buildings and we're going to do it over the next year. You're probably looking at me like, what? That that ain't never going to happen. Then they're going to build all those buildings and everything over the next year, which is fair. That's unreasonable, right? But I said, well, well, you know what? I think all these buildings will be built and it's going to be unbelievable down there, but it's going to happen over the next 20 years. Then you say, okay, that's possible. That that can be pulled off, right? And so think same thing you got to think about in regards to your portfolio. Focus on the long term. Like I said, people underestimate what they can pull off. I mean, where you could be 10 years from now, 15 years from now, 20 years from now, could be an unbelievable place. You've got to assume you're going to be 100 years old. Everybody needs to assume you're going to live to be 100. You might not. You might live to be long older than 100, but plan on being 100. Okay? And then reverse kind of calculate from there. Okay? I'm going to be 100. So, I'm playing a long game here. So, when you think like that, if you're 40, you you still got a long game. you still haven't you haven't even played half the game. You're not even at halftime yet at this point in time, right? We can call like 50ish range like the halftime point of the game. If you're watching us and you're like, you know, let's say you're my age and you're watching us, you're 36 years old. You're like, man, I only got a portfolio of, you know, $75,000. I'm a long way. And Jeremy's got a portfolio of this or this guy's got a portfolio of this, right? Just understand you got a long way. By the time you're 50, if you're 36 and you're watching this, you got $75,000 and you think you're doing bad. Can you imagine how much money you're gonna have by the time you're 50? If you really stay focused on this game, buy great companies, stay on the offense, buy stocks at least twice a month for the next 14 years, do you know how much money you're going to have? It's going to be disgusting. Disgusting. And so that's the thing I'll say to you, man. Like, focus on the long term. If you're 20 years old and you're watching this video right now, oh my gosh, like by the time you're 40, you you have so much money you don't even know what to do with it. But you got to stay disciplined. You got to stay focused on the long term in regards to this. Okay, fourth thing up here, we're going to start getting a little more complicated as these tick on now. Okay, SWAT analysis is key. It's one of the most important things when you're talking about finding great stocks to buy. Okay, SWAT analysis, strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. So this is when you ever you do research on a business. Okay, you need to think about what are the strengths of this business. Then you need to think about what are the weaknesses of this business. Then you got to think about okay, where are the opportunities for growth for this company? Where's the opportunities for this company over time? And then the T threats. You got to think about where are the threats at for this particular company, right? like who could take market share for them? Who could decimate this company? Right now, you might say, "Okay, how do I figure that out?" That's where reading the 10Ks is important, the annual reports, the 10 Q's, the quarterly reports, listening to conference calls of companies, CEO interviews, things like that. Now, you might say, "Uh, that sounds like work. That's going to cut on my Tik Tok time. That's going to cut on my Netflix." Guess what, man? You ain't ever going to have the big money. You're probably watching the wrong video. Go watch your dang Tik Tok. Go watch your Netflix, okay? Love Island, whatever it is you guys watch out there, okay? Go watch that. Go spend your time. You're probably not on the right video for you. Okay? If you're willing to put in the work, now we're talking. Now, the most important things of all those is opportunities and threats because you got to be thinking about where can growth come for this company over time. And then you got to be thinking about what could send this company down. I always think in in the frame of thought of what are the chances I'm going to double my money or more in the stock over the next 3 years, 5 years. What are the chances I'm going to lose 50% plus on the stock over the next five years? And to figure that out, opportunities and threats matter significantly. And if your company has incredible opportunities and they can execute on those, right? You have a C CEO at that company who's proven they can execute, then you've got a massive opportunity in front of yourself as an investment, right? Now, if there's a lot of threats, then that makes your investment very scary. If it could be disrupted by this, disrupted by that, right? There's obviously a lot of worries about AI disrupting businesses and so businesses are going to thrive under the AI future, right? And others are going to be disrupted immensely by this. Every single time you have one of these massive technological renaissances, right? There's always businesses that are disrupted and there's other businesses that grow huge on the back of that, right? And so, you know, and we could go all the way back to even the Walmart days. I was thinking about Walmart recently and I remember all the negative publicity Walmart got like 20 30 years ago about when a Walmart comes into town all these other places go out of business right and then but Walmart was a big opportunity right and if you were a big supplier to Walmart you probably grew your business immensely over the years as Walmart grew as well right while other businesses were disrupted and that happens every single time that happened with e-commerce the internet age now it's going to be like that with AI certain businesses are going to thrive under the AI future and others are not going to do well and that's where you got to figure opportunities and threats of a business. Right now, for those of you that have access to thousandxtocks.com, right, thousandx is our thousandx package we send you and a hat and all that good stuff. Right?

And we also have the ability to generate a hedge fund level report for a company. Right now, this can take you from a place where you could have no clue about a company and within 15 to 30 minutes all a sudden understand a company pretty decent. Be like, I never even heard of this company 30 minutes ago. And after you get done going through these reports, be like, I actually understand it kind of decent for 30 minutes. Right? Now, additionally, right over here, we put some very important things. What really matters. So, for each company, we put what really matters and what you need to look for with that company. How to research that company properly, right? key KPIs to track, what to monitor, and good versus a bad setup for that particular company. Right?

Do keep in mind we are closing new members here very shortly in the next few days. So, if you want to join us in there, join us ASAP. That will be pinned comment down there. Now, Celsius, I was running those report, that entry- level report on Celsius there, right? Listen, I told you guys I'll sprinkle on some stocks. Celsius is a huge long-term opportunity. That stock today is $28. Where that stock is a week from now or a month from now, who knows? And who freaking cares? Celsius has a massive long-term upside for that company. Energy drink company. They also own Alani. They now integrated Rockstar, the old historic Rockstar brand. They got that over from Pepsi to Pepsi distribution. They're expanding around the world now at this point in time. Celsius have has, you know, 10 20 years of growth ahead of that company. So, huge opportunity in regards to Celsius and definitely one that I'm investing heavy into. This is a public account position alone. $126,000. So far, I'm up 15,000, right? I think we're going to be up a whole lot more than that in future years. So, Celsius is a big long-term opportunity. Number five, stay away from stocks where revenue growth is iffy. You don't want to buy stocks where you're like, I don't know if this company's actually going to grow revenue in future years. That's very tough. You usually want to stick to companies that you're confident can grow revenue double-digit percentage a year for years to go in the future. It's usually a much safer bet. And the reason being is you got to understand what people are willing to pay for and not pay for in the stock market. People are willing to pay up for companies that have great margins that aren't seen as their businesses being disrupted. And people are willing to pay up for companies that have great revenue growth. Great revenue growth is usually categorized as companies that people are confident can grow double digit percentage or more, right? You got a company that's growing revenue 3%. That's iffy, right? That's a really iffy situation. Unless it's in a turnaround or something like that, it's a scary stock to buy. So understand you're taking a lot of risk because your stock might not ever appreciate the way you think it's going to appreciate. So you really want to find companies. You don't have to find a company that's growing revenue 70%. Right? But try to find companies that have that are fairly valued on forward P basis to your forward P basis and isn't something crazy but have that strong revenue growth and you're confident that can grow at high rates. And once again, that goes back to how do you how do you build up confidence that a company could grow 10% plus a year? Right? One, have they proven it? Has a CEO proven they can do that? Right? And also listen to those conference calls, right? You can do that through thousandx.com. Listen to those CEO interviews, reading about the company, right? Understand on a higher level. Look at the revenue trends that company. If all a sudden they went from 20% revenue growth, you know, three quarters ago, then two quarters ago was down to 15%. Then a quarter ago was down 10%, and this latest quarter it was 5%. You might be in trouble. You know, that company could be on the verge of their revenue going the wrong way, right? And literally starting to go down. And so revenue growth, you want strong revenue growth companies. It's going to make your life a lot easier, right? A good example of that is this one, E.L.F. cosmetics, ELF Beauty. Look at this one. Right? This is a type of company you want. Great revenue growth year after year after year. You know, usually double digit plus percentage revenue growth. That's what we want to see in our companies. Like a company like ELF, I'm confident can grow to 10% plus clip for years to go in the future like deep in the 2030s. That's the sort of companies I want to find. That's the sort of opportunities. And guess what? ELF is another huge long-term upside stock in my personal opinion. Since I started investing the stock back in 2019 in the public account, I'm up 387% while on those original shares, I'm up about 700%. I just bought shares in the public account here recently. I'm already up 18% on those shares. El's a $58 stock here today. Long-term, I think that stock's 200 plus, right? So, that's a massive long-term upside stock. I know it's not like techreated, so some people are like, "Oh my gosh, can you make money in tech?" uh uh you know outside of tech. Guess what? You can make a lot of money outside of tech. Not all banger like some of the best stocks I ever invested in and you could find in the stock market over the last 25 years are non- tech stocks. Monster Energy is a great example. We just talked about Celsius Energy. Monster Energy. You invested in that 25 years ago back when it was called Hansen's Natural Beverage. My gosh, you have so much money. Like I don't even know how to explain how much money you could have put just 100 grand in a couple hundred grand back when they launched Monster and you started to see that take off and energy drinks. Oh my gosh. Like you know you'd probably be a billionaire today. Like it's just startling how much money you would have or at least hundreds of millions of dollars, right? Like crazy money. So understand, you know, there's massive opportunities outside of tech stocks and ELF is one of those, right? Number six, avoid buying stocks that are super hyped and everybody's talking about it, right? When stocks are usually like talked about everywhere. They're talked about on Bloomberg and talked about on CNBC and everybody on X is talking about them and everybody on YouTube and it's just like they've gone into some massive run. Understand there's usually a lot of risk that comes with those stocks. Usually their valuations have probably gotten very very stretched, right? Additionally, like if everybody's already talking about it and investing into it, that usually signals you're much closer to a downside, a significant downside in a stock rather than an upside scenario in a particular stock, right? And so I see this time and time again. People will not pay attention to a stock. It'll go on an absolute ripper run after ripper run and and it attracts more attention, more attention, more people start talking about it, right? And next thing you know, it seems like, you know, it's the talk of every big financial network out there. By that time, you know, it the gains are hard to come by then cuz you you've got it's gotten the attention of almost everybody. And so, it's not like that stock's hidden anymore. Everybody's talking about it, right? I'll give you a good example. Even Nvidia back last year, right? I mean, you know, Nvidia stock hasn't really moved despite the numbers getting better and better. And the reason being is like Nvidia had the most insane hype ever last year, right? Like everybody was talking about Nvidia and so it wasn't like it was some secret situation. Like everybody knew about Nvidia. Everybody knew the numbers are great. So now they keep coming up with great numbers and what what does a stock have to show for it? Nothing. Because it's already been so hyped, right? It was already so talked about, right? I'll give you another good example. Palunteer. Palanteer. I was buying that stock back in 2022 for seven bucks a share. Right now, no one cared about the stock back when I was buying it for six bucks, seven bucks, whatever, right? Back in 2022. Then the stock goes to 200 plus, right? From $6 a share to 200 plus. And it hits that last year. Last year, when this stock was rolling 200, it seemed like everybody was talking about it. I remember they showed the ticker symbol constantly on like CNBC and Bloomberg and those sorts of things, right? Everybody had an opinion on the stock. And it was funny because literally, you know, three or four years before that, like almost no one talked about Palunteer. It was a super niche stock that maybe a couple of us on YouTube talked about and a few people on X and then all a sudden by, you know, last year when it was 200 plus, everybody was talking about it, but the price to sales ratio had gotten very stretched, the P ratio had gotten very stretched, right? And so it just made that stock's life very hard. And now stock sits at $130, right? And guess what? Their numbers are better than ever. There's still uptick in revenue growth. It's been unbelievable what the company's been able to do, but yet the stock's fallen from 200 plus to 130 because it's like already went through such a crazy hype phase and the price to sales ratio and PE ratios got raised so high it was ridiculous, right? And um by the way, Palanteer actually, you know, not my favorite buy right now, but I actually wouldn't mind buying it, right? Do keep in mind I took most of my profits on Palanteer last year when that stock was on that ripper run and like everybody was hyping it, everybody was talking about it. I was like okay you know valuation got very very stretched and I said let me take some profits right another good example of this is uh SoFi this is just to a lesser extent it wasn't nearly as extreme as Palanteer right but SoFi this stock was six bucks you buy SoFi for $6 in 2024 and then last year at the peak that stock ran to like 32 right that's an unbelievable move like gamechanging like life-changing you if you you know made a major investment in SoFi at six and then it runs to 32 in a year like that's like life-changing money, right? But ever since then, the stocks had some trouble. Are the numbers bad? No, the numbers are better than they've ever been. But, you know, sentiment, right? And it had so much hype around it. And then, and then what happens is you get a lot of people to buy. There's an important thing you understand about kind of the market and mechanics and those sorts of things. You have a lot of people buy, right? A stock after it's already made a crazy move higher. And what happens is those people buy at you know peak price or near peak price right the stock starts moving down those people usually are weak hands they don't really understand companies very well and they sell and they put more selling pressure on the stock and the more the stock goes down the more those noob investors get freaked out so let's say you know some guy buys SoFi last year 31 right okay then it goes down to 29 and he sells right which then the next guy that bought at 29 9 starts looking he's like oh I'm almost under water and then it goes to 27 he's like crap I got to sell and then the next guy says I got to sell and right it causes this like cascading effect and so like sofa can keep reporting great great numbers right but in the very short term because there's a lot of people underwater from when they bought it at 20 25 30 plus right it it's hard for it to go up in that short-term time period and that's where once again you you as a long-term investor you got to stay focused on long term the short term is going to be driven by narrative by sentiment by is it hyped Is it non-hyped right by are you know is everybody on Wall Street buying the stock at that particular time or is everybody selling it off? Are retail investors, traders, are they buying it? Are they selling it off? Is it on the momentum ETFs at that particular time? All these sorts of things, right? Is there a gamma squeeze going on? Blah blah blah. Million different things can affect the stock price in the short term. Stay focused on the long term. Long-term revenue growth, earnings per share growth, and great margins. That's what we're talking about over the long term. Okay? And that's what going to be what really dictates a stock over time. By the way, SoFi, huge long-term opportunity. SoFi, $15. I love it. And if you look at the shares I bought in the public account, I have shares 3,000 shares of 693, 690, 803, 774. And then my most expensive batch in the public account is this one from April 2025 at nearly $12, right? And so I look at SoFi and I see a massive long-term opportunity here. That's why I have 0% interest in selling SoFi. Like the way SoFi is going, as long as Anthony Notto keeps the company afloat during recessions, this company has a long-term potential to become a financial giant. And when we start talking about financial giants, we're talking about market capitalizations in the hundreds of billions. SoFi today is a market cap that's probably 20-ish billion dollars, somewhere around their roughly ballpark. Nothing. Nothing compared to where this company is going over the coming years. I think so. If I once again, as long as Anthony Notto runs his company on a high level for the next decade, this could be a life-changing type stock. And there's not many of in the in the finance related area that I could really say could be life-changing type stocks. This is one of the only ones. Okay. Number seven, very important, balance sheets. You've got to be reviewing your balance sheets on a high level, right? Specifically, cash and investments minus debts. Okay? You want to find companies that ideally have low debt and have high cash levels, right? Think of it like a person. If your, you know, cousin came to you, right? And your cousin was telling you about their financial situation and they're like, they're talking about how much they got $8,000 in credit card debt and they're talking about they just took out a mortgage and they're talking about they just bought a new car for $25,000, right? and they said they're down to only $1,000 cash, right? What would your what would your impression be of your cousin? Your impression would be they're living like a fool. Like they're putting themselves at a big financial risk. Like they got credit card debt. They just bought a house with now they got a mortgage. They got this car they just bought, right? Also on a loan and they got a thousand bucks cash. Like what happens if they lose their job? What happens if this happens? Like they're risky, right? No. What if your other cousin comes to you and they said, "Oh man, I got $100,000 in treasuries just sitting around right now, right? Earning 4 and a.5%. I've got another half a million in stocks and the only debt I have is my car loan and I got $10,000 left to pay on that car loan." Right? That cousin you would look at and be like, "Dude, they're in a great financial position. I believe in them." Right? Same thing happens with companies. Some companies get super debt laden, have hardly any cash in investments, and those companies are risky because if the economy goes bad, if something goes bad in their business, like they could go bankrupt, right? Meanwhile, you have other companies that have great cash levels, great investment levels, and low levels of debt. That gives them opportunities to invest back in the business. That gives them that puts them in a position of power, right, in times of economic distress and those sorts of things. So balance sheets are very very important. Cash levels, debt levels. You want low debt. You want high cash and high investments ideally, right? Just like you would a person. Next up here, number eight, you want to find companies that have increasing gross margins and net margins over time. Right? This doesn't mean every single quarter their gross margins go up. Every single quarter their net margins go up. But over the long term, you want to find companies that their margins keep getting better and better. Margin will usually show you if a business is in a position of power or a position of weakness. Remember earlier we talked about SWAT analysis, right? Strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of a business. If you have a company that's showing a long-term trend of upticking gross margins, upticking net margins, that's usually going to show you that company's in a position of power. If over a longer term time frame you see a company's gross margins going down, net margins going down, that usually means they're in a position of weakness, every company out there is going to make as much money as they possibly can. They're going to charge their customers. I don't care if it's a BTOC company, a B2B company, right? Business selling to business or business selling to consumer or it's a B2G company, a business selling the government. Everybody's goal is to make as much money as possible, charge as much as possible, right? And so if you're in a position of weakness, that means essentially your margin is going to be going down over time, right? Because you're going to have to cut price. You're going to have to add employees just to sell your product or whatever that situation is. If you're in a real position of power, you'll be able to charge higher and higher prices over time. You'll be able to keep your expenses well managed, which is going to help your net margins over time, right? You're in a position of power. And so I'll show you a great example of a company that has a long-term trend of increasing gross margins and increasing net margins. And actually, it's about to go really insane for this company over the next two to three years in terms of increasing that company is AMD. So AMD, we're looking at thousandx.com. You can clearly see the gross margins of AMD bottomed right here and have been upticking ever since. Right? Once again, on a one quarter basis, every once in a while and go down, you want to see the long-term trend of a company, right? Net margins for AMD bottomed right about here and have been upticking ever since. and just wait to see where this company's net margins and and you know are are headed over this next several years and gross margins as well and operating margins as well. Now, how do I have that just how do I have that understanding of like margins are going to increase massively? Well, guess what? I've done a lot of research into AMD over the last several years and I have found that CPU demand and GPU demand are going to be insane for this company for the next several years and they're in a sweet spot because of their products that they're going to be able to command the highest margins they've ever been able to command for this company in the longest time because there's really only one one other place you can go for a lot of the chips they sell and that's Nvidia. And Nvidia's margins are the highest of the high. And so between where AMD is at and where Nvidia is at is a large gap. And so AMD will continue to push margins up for the next several years. It's not like this is a one quarter phenomenon or one year. For the next several years, margins will uptick for AMD, which is going to mean great things. I mean, absolutely great things for the company's net income, the company's earnings per share. And guess what? People, when I say people, I'm talking about investors and especially Wall Streeters, they love to pay up for companies with increasing and great margins. One of the things that makes people most uncomfortable, one of the things that makes Wall Streeters, hedge funds sell stocks heavy, when they see margins going down. When they see margins going down, they get freaked out because what happens is they assume margins are going down and that's because there's there's there's a threat going on with that business, right? So something's going wrong, margins are going down for that company, and that means get out. And so they put selling pressure on a stock when the margins go down. without margins going up usually means stock price going up. Margins going down usually means stock price going down and you could you could follow that throughout a lot of stocks over time and it's unbelievable the way it works. Okay. Now, by the way, AMD big long-term opportunity still, you know, crazy moves this stock is going to have over the next 12 months. Like you're going to see some dramatic moves. Like even the recent move has been pretty dramatic. I think AMD topped at 530 or so here recently in the last week or two. Then it moves down to 450. like there's going to be some dramatic moved downs and there's going to be some insane move ups when this stock just goes on a ripper rally. I'll actually share I think some projections for AMD a little later on in this video and you'll see why uh the stock still has some big long-term opportunity here. Okay, number nine GVD. I preach this all the time on the channel. Growth, value, dividends, right? You got to have a portfolio built overall of growth stocks, value stocks, and dividend stocks. They all serve a purpose. There's going to be certain time periods when growth stocks are rolling, right? And like they are the hut plays and everybody wants to buy growth stocks and they're willing to pay any price for those. That's usually when you're in a very risk-on market. People are willing to take risk. Certain markets, value stocks are going to be the play. Dividend stocks are going to be the play. That's usually when you're in more of a kangaroo market or a bare market, right? And so every dog has its day and every stock is going to have its time and shine. In certain times, dividend investors are sitting back making so much money from those dividends. They're paying it out, right? And they're able to buy growth stocks for super cheap prices when they crash and they just look like geniuses. I'm like, "Look at me, right?" Other time periods is growth investors. Growth investors. Look at me. Like, I'm making so much money on these growth stocks right now. Right? I believe in growth value and dividend stocks. I believe in not being a one-dimensional fighter, right? If you're a truly great boxer, you don't just throw a haymaker. you got plenty of punches in your repertoire and you know how to play defense, right? And so that's the way I look at building a great portfolio overall growth value dividends. Have all them be components of your portfolio. And when you're getting paid out those dividends and your growth growth stocks are not doing well, you can take those that all that dividend money is getting paid out to you every 3 months and throw that right back in. Growth stocks at cheap valuations, right? And then certain time periods and dividend stocks are sucking. They're not the ones and everybody's focused on growth stocks and valuations are insane there. Take that dividend money, plug it right into value and dividend stocks and you the dividends will just keep compounding, getting bigger and bigger and bigger, especially with great dividend companies that are able to increase their earnings per share as years tick on. Right? This is looking at the public account. I always post a public account every week in the private group. This was as of May 28th, right? And so looking at the public account here, everybody in the private group can see this once again. Pinned comment down there if you want to join us in the private group before we close it down to new members. But check this out. Like this is a public account here. I have a portfolio built of every type of stock, right? AMD is a growth stock. Meta is a growth value and dividend stock because it trades at a cheap valuation. It also pays a dividend, but it also has great growth, right? Revenue growth has been 30% plus on that one. Amazon's a growth stock. Cheesecake Factory, that's a value and a dividend stock. Salesforce is a growth stock and a value stock. Nike is a value and dividend stock. American Express is a value and dividend stock. Estee Lauder is a value and dividend stock. Uh Honest is a value stock. Celsius is a growth stock. Palanteer is a growth stock. PayPal's a value dividend stock. Service Now's growth. Google's growth. Uh Sofi's growth. Revolve is a growth and value stock. That one's interesting because they have grown revenues double digit percentage, but it actually trades a value type forward P's on that one. Uh ELF is actually a growth and a value play. Look at the Ford P on ELF, but yet it has insane growth. So, it's a growth value. And then FUBO is more of a spec play, right? So, I'm not just onedimensional. I'm not just all in growth stocks, just all in value stocks, just all in dividend stocks. um well-rounded, right? And that's how you build a truly great portfolio. That's how you build a truly great portfolio overall. Right? Next up here, number 10, sell when the riskreward is unfavorable, not when something has gone up a lot. This is a big mistake people make in the market. A stock will go up a bunch. Okay? I don't know, you know, it will increase 100%, 200%, whatever amount, right? And they sell because it's gone up a lot, right? And this is a mistake I made countless times when I was a new investor in my first few years of investing. I'd get into a stock, it'd make 20 40% quick, you know, and I'm like, "Oh my gosh, this is so much money. It's gone up so much. It can't go up anymore." And then I'd sell at a 20% gain to miss out on a 200% gain over the next year or two, right? No, don't sell stocks based upon it's gone up a lot. You need to look at the riskreward of that company. You need to run projections on that company. So you could build this all out in a spreadsheet or you can do what we use which is called thousandx.com. We plug in the numbers for you automatically from 2026, right? And then from there, this is based upon analyst expectations. And then from there, you can adjust your growth rates, right? And so for AMD, it's a stock that's gone up a lot. I was looking at it today. I think it's up 267% over the past year, right? I have no interest in selling AMD. Why? Well, based upon my projections under my base case in 3000X, we let you run a bull case, a base case, and a bare case on a company, right? Based upon my base case for AMD, this stock can still give me likely a 30%ish kagar over the next several years. This stock's likely going to $1,000 plus. That's why I'm not selling AMD. Like, if I was just thinking about like, oh, it's gone up a lot, I would sell out of the stock. But I'm thinking in terms of the numbers, the math behind this, right? And my math says that AMD is going to $1,000 plus. That doesn't mean it's guaranteed, but that's what my numbers and my study of this company say. And so I've got to continue to hold AMD cuz yeah, it's gone up a lot, 267% in the past year or whatever, right? But there's a long run ahead, which includes the stock going to a,000 plus dollars. If my bull case plays out, which was always a lower probability of a bull case, the stock's going to 2,000 plus over the next several years, right? And even under my bare case for AMD, I likely still outperform the S&P 500 over the next few years or at least perform. So that looks pretty darn attractive and that's why I continue to hold AMD stock, right? Last one up here. Don't outsmart yourself. By the way, we got a steam shower in the new house. I love it. Get yourself a steam shower. Okay. Don't outsmart yourself. So many people do this in the market. Don't mess around with margin. No, I don't care what what percentage they offer you. Oh, they only want 6%. Don't do it. No margin. Don't get tricked into that. Okay. No options, especially if you're not experienced in the market, right? If you're experienced, I can understand from like a hedging perspective of your portfolio or something like that. But for the most part, don't mess around with our options, right? And uh don't cut corners in the market. Do your real research. Run your numbers, run your projections, don't try to find some easy hack to get there. Just understand you got time on your side. And over the next 5, 10, 15, 20 years, you're going to be able to build a portfolio so massive that you're going to look back and be like, "Oh my gosh, like that was insane." Like, we really pulled this off. Right? And so, you know, public count today is a $4 millionish dollar portfolio, four something million, right? 5 years from now, I think that portfolio is going to be, you know, easily $10 million plus, if not a lot bigger number than 10 million, right? And so, stay focused on long term. Don't get caught up into it today, this year, this month, anything like that. Okay?
