Early Investors will change their life‼️

You got to be flipping my flapjacks just perfectly. Look at that, ladies and gentlemen. Public count hitting a new all-time high here today. 4.5 million plus dollars. Oh my gosh. I hope all you guys watching us today are at all-time highs or at least very very close to all-time highs. Absolutely incredible to see. And this is despite AMD moving down significantly here today. AMD $80,000 plus dollar move. So, you know, if we can eek out a new all-time high in the public account with AMD being down that big, we will take it. And why is this? Well, look at the moves here today. Meta stocks up 50,000 plus dollars for us here today. Celsius up over 12,000. Palanteer up over 11,000. Service Now up 8,000 plus. We have Amazon Amazing up 8,000 plus. CRM up 8,000 plus. ELF climb back on the shelf. Somebody in the comments of yesterday's video said Elf is doing pull-ups on the shelf now at this point in time. And it looks like it, right? $6,000 up here today on EL. Fubo even moving up huge here today. Almost a $6,000 move. That's a double- digit percentage mover, man. I mean, the public account is doing so well today that even Nike is up on their earnings. And so, by the way, that's a big thing. We're not really going to talk about Nike in this video. I talked about on the reaction channel last night, but I just want to mention something real quick here. When you see bad news for a stock happen, like there was a lot of bad news in those Nike numbers and the stock moves higher, it's one of the most bullish things you can see for a stock price. I will tell you that much as somebody has been in the market 18 years. Okay, now look at the ELF move 60 plus% from that June 5th bottom. Absolutely unbelievable, right? And I told you guys this is what happens with a stock like ELF. High growth companies when they get moving, they get moving, right? The crashes are brutal in regards to moves down for these stocks. But I can tell you the moves up are just as rapid and that's what you see a stock like ELF up 60 plus% in less than a month. Less than a month, right? All righty, ladies and gentlemen. Four core subjects to get into here today. Okay. One, we got huge change for Meta Stock and we're going to talk about what that means for AMD, for Micron, for Nvidia moving forward, as well as other big tech companies that they might be potentially competing with. Okay. Second thing we'll get into in this video is how to make money in this market. Really, despite, you know, whatever goes on the market, there's ways to make money and I want to explain that in this video here today. Okay. Number three, the next elf situation. What is the stock that I believe is going to be the next elf type move where all of a sudden it's going to move 60 plus% like that. I'm going to share that in this video here today. The fourth thing we'll get into is how to not mess up your portfolio. You know, a lot of you guys are at all-time highs now at this point in time or very, very close, right? We're talk about how to not screw it up, okay? After a beast move like this, one thing, one thing only I need from you guys. If you could please just smash that like button. That's the only thing I need from you. That is my payment for this video here today. Just smash that like button, that thumbs up icon, and that's it.

And you do need access to that. So, that will be pinned comment down there. Okay? Make sure you get that before this video ends here today. Okay. All righty. So, got done a lot to get into in this video here today. Huge change for Meta. What does this mean for AMD, for Micron, Nvidia, all these other stocks? What's it mean for Meta moving forward? Are we heading to a thousand? Okay. Listen, big news for Meta here today. Bloomberg was the first to report this. Meta is planning a cloud business to sell AI computing power. Now, this had been something that had been rumored before, but now this is becoming like more of an official thing. Now, there's a lot of details to be figured out in regards to this, but it's a major major development for Meta. And this could have huge ramifications for the chip trade, for other big tech companies and things like that we're about to get into. By the way, isn't this funny? This is exactly what I was just talking about. I clicked on the articles because Bloomberg was the first to report this. Look at this. Get unlimited access for $1.99 your first month. Remember, I just told you guys about I do business old school, man. This is how these new companies do it nowadays, man. new school way of doing it. Well, your first month they give you this teaser price and they jack it up the second month, man. Okay, so shares of Meta closed up obviously significantly here today, right? As it's building out a new cloud business that could help recoup some of the billions of dollars it's poured into our artificial intelligence infrastructure. Meta will sell excess computing power to outside customers. Bloomberg was the first to report the news. The company is debating whether it will offer access to AI models that are hosted on its infrastructure or whether it will sell access to raw computing power according to Bloomberg. So that's where I'm talking about the details are still being ironed out here but it's clear as day like Meta's obviously um you know getting in this line of business right which is exciting. I mean it's very exciting. uh you know when you start a brand new business like this and you're somebody like Meta like the growth rates for the next number of years are going to be outstanding. It's going to be shocking, right, for years to go into the future because obviously you start the business, it's a brand new business and then you you know even year two, year three, year four, year five, your growth rates are just off the charts and so it's going to be very exciting especially if Meta breaks out those numbers which I hope if they do get in this business they break out the numbers so everybody can see the growth rates over time and that' obviously be very exciting. Now, I've told you guys in regards to MetaT moving, right, and get out of this just blah phase it's been in, there's really only two things that you know could really get this stock moving, right? And those two things are one, you have to moderate capex, right? or Zuckerberg's got to tell us how we're going to make fortunes of money from all the spend because everybody's looking they're talking about $140 billion roughly of capex this year and everybody's like what are we getting for that like we don't need 100 to spend $140 billion to have great advertising on our platform like you can do that off of a much smaller number right and so here we are we're not getting a moderation capex at least right now from Meta but we are getting like hey we're about to build new big businesses here that could be quite significant Right? And so this is very exciting because at least now at this point in time, we're we're going to make some money from this. But but okay, here's the scary part of this, okay? And let me explain this and how this works. Listen, it's like if I go to the restaurant and I order way too much food, right? I'm at this fancy restaurant. I order way too much food and it all comes out. I'm like, crap, man. I'm going have to waste so much food cuz I'm not taking it to go and it's just like going to sit here and and go to waste, right? So, I start going around the restaurant and I'm like, "Hey, listen. I'll sell you guys some of this flame. I'll sell you some of this uh lobster, you know, I'll sell you some of this uh whatever." And people at the restaurants tell me like, "Okay, that sounds good." And people are like, "No, that's okay." That's the situation what it feels like here with Meta. And they're not the only company doing this. There's several other companies doing this as well, right? Um, and so it feels like potentially everybody has went way too crazy with the amount of chips they ordered and the infrastructure they built and now they're like sitting on like, "Oh my gosh, we actually don't need all this infrastructure that we've spend crazy amounts of money on cuz we do know there's been massive FOMO." And Zuckerberg has spoken about this and so has in a lot of other people that are in running these big tech companies. They've spoken about like the FOMO they have about like they don't want to be too conservative with their spend. They would rather overspend, right? And now we're getting proof they've overspent. That's the bottom line in regards to this. Like if Meta was actually using all their computer power, they wouldn't get into this sort of business. And it's not even like it's close. If it was even like a close thing where they're like, uh, we don't have that much excess capacity. They wouldn't even bother getting in this business. You only get in this sort of business if you've likely way over spent. They've likely way over spent. And once again, they're not the only company. We see Elon Musk with his companies getting involved in this business as well. So, and there's several other companies competing in the space as well. So, it looks to me, I'm just going to be honest with you guys, completely honest. It looks like everybody is way overspending. And now they're thinking about, okay, how do we make money from this, right? Who who can we sell some of this to? And do keep in mind like not all these companies can spend hundred billion plus dollars on on uh this infrastructure like companies like Meta have done, right? There's only a few that can really spend like that. So now we're in a weird situation. Nvidia Nvidia has been the the company at the forefront of this whole run, right? And obviously their revenues have exploded over the past 3 years. We all know that there's been over orderering. There's no debating that. There's no debating have we overordered. There's been over orderering and it's probably significant. So now the question is how much over orderering has been done? That's really the only question at this point in time. Now, the other issue you get into and the scary thing for Nvidia and so if you're wondering why is Nvidia stock just continued to be stuck in the mud, right? Like this stock was 200 plus last year. You can get the stock for less than 200 today and this is despite the amazing numbers because the scary thing with a stock like Nvidia, right, and this could run to other chip companies as well, but Nvidia has been the biggest beneficiary and they the ones that have seen their numbers go the most insane, right? is what happens if companies like Meta X and all these other companies that are getting in this game? What happens if there's not the customer demand to sell off this excess inventory? Then these companies are going to start looking and they're like, we probably don't need to order as much. So now these companies like Meta and many of these others getting more in the space and the Amazon's everybody right that is send that is going to sell some sort of cloud infrastructure they've got to have the customers come through and buy up this excess you know um capacity. If they don't, then these companies are going to look and they're going to start saying, "Okay, wait. We don't really need nearly as much as we thought we were going to need and we're having trouble selling our excess capacity." That's where you run into scariness, right? That's where you run into problems. So, what needs to happen now is you need to have a bunch of other companies have massive amounts of success, right? Massive amounts of success that they need to go to somebody like Meta. they need to go to somebody like Google, Microsoft, with Azure, right? Amazon and say, "Hey, we need to spend fortunes of money with you." If you don't have that, then all these guys are going to be sitting around and like, "Yeah, we might not need to order as many chips in the future." That's why Nvidia trades where it is. Cuz people look at Nvidia like, "How is this stock trading at a forward P of 20? Have you seen the growth rates this company has?" This is why. Because now it looks like everybody ordered way too many chips. And like I said, Meta would not get in this business unless they had like dramatically too much supply. It wouldn't be worth their time. You're only going to get in this sort of business if you have way too much, way like way excess here. Okay? So, this is where things start to get scary. And it gets further than that. It gets even into a stock like I personally own. A MD, listen, this puts a big dent in all the chip stocks armor. this this, you know, coming out here, it puts a big chip in in the armor of all these stocks. I'm talking Micron, I'm talking AMD, I'm talking Broadcom, I'm talking Nvidia, all these companies that have been the ones going beast mode. The good news for AMD is we still got some shock and a quarters coming. And the good news is AMD's benefited the least of all these companies. So, we're still got a great runway for AMD, thank goodness. But companies like Micron, companies like Nvidia have already benefited massively. Have you seen the numbers of those companies? They're insane. Like we were looking at the Micron numbers. It's like the revenue growth was like 300 plus% year-over-year. Micron's already benefiting in a ridiculous way, right? Nvidia, we all know, has benefited in a ridiculous way. That's it didn't just become the biggest market cap company in the world by accident. It ran to a $5 trillion plus market cap because of this insatiable demand for, you know, compute and these companies willing to spend whatever. So there's a big dent in all the chip stocks armor now at this point in time and it's going to definitely make a lot of people think twice about do they want to run into the chip trade now at this point in time because they're looking like it's you know it's much scarier now at this point in time right now this also has to you have to start question if Meta is really going to get into this game big right and they want to compete here what does this mean for long-term growth rates of AWS right does You know, if Meta really if Zuckerberg really wants to go after this and his spend looks like he wants to go after this, then you got to ask yourself like what does this mean for AWS growth in future years, right? Is this going to be something that makes AWS growth rates not as strong as you might think? And keep in mind, Meta and Amazon are becoming more and more significant competitors. You know, I don't know if how many people know this. Listen, Amazon is now a significant advertising competitor to Meta. Like, if you really think the used to just be like two companies you really thought of digital advertising and like really making bank off of it, it was Meta and it was Google. That's no longer the situation. As an Amazon shareholder, I can tell you Amazon makes so much money from their advertising side of the business. Now, at this point in time, advertising is huge, huge for Amazon. So if you're somebody like Zuckerberg and you say, "Okay, let's fight." You're going to say, "Okay, you want to take a piece out of our business? We'll come ahead and take a little piece out of your business as well." Right? So I, you know, I don't know what this means for AWS growth rates, but it puts a question in, right? That's the thing. It's not like, oh, Amazon's doomed for AWS. No, it's just a like, what if this holds AWS growth back a few percentage a year in future years, right? What if instead of we thought 25% a year growth, what if it's 20%. Like that's what you have to question at this point in time, right? So Amazon's got a question. Amazon's done well for us up $156,000 the public count. Google McDougall, big question, right? Google, a lot of the hype and excitement from Google is on the chip side and and on their cloud business side, right? What does this mean for Google's cloud business? I I don't know, right? Like I I don't know. It's just a question. That's the thing. We don't know what this means. We just know like Meta's got a lot of money and they're going to get a whole lot more money. You know, Meta's the thing with Meta that that Google doesn't have and Amazon doesn't have is well they got a few things. One founder, right? Zuckerberg, he's not afraid to take risk and he's willing to win, right? You know, Sundar at Google's phenomenal CEO, right? Uh Sasha at Microsoft's a phenomenal CEO. U Andy Jasse at Amazon, phenomenal CEO, but those guys are not founders. Zuckerberg is the only one that's a founder, right? So you're just competing different. You're you're competing different against a guy like that, right? But the other thing Meta has that those companies don't have, you know what it is? Insane growth. Meta has been growing revenues at 30 plus% clip. Those other companies don't have that. Microsoft growth uh for the revenue growth for the overall company is not even in the same ballpark. Neither is Google. Neither is Amazon. So you got you got you know we'll see we'll see what Meta wants to do here. But I'm just like you got a significant competitor in the market, right? And this leads us to Microsoft. Mr. Softy. Oh, Microsoft can't catch a break, you know, because the one business that people are super excited about from Microsoft because there's a lot of questions on the SAS side of Microsoft, right? And what does their business look like long term? They're going through the same cycle of questions like all the other SAS related companies are going through. But the one thing that's kept Microsoft afloat is Azure, right? Azure and Azure growth. Like what does this mean for Azure growth? What if their growth rates are a little hampered long term? If Meta becomes a significant and so now there's questions for some of these other companies that you know you're you're going to look at and you're going to be like if Meta is really going to push hard here like what's going to happen here, right? Okay. Next up here, let's talk about how to make money in this market anyway. We want to talk about the next stock that I think is going to pull an elf type move and we'll tell I'll tell you how not to f up your portfolio. Okay. All righty, ladies and gentlemen. You want to make money regardless of the market conditions right now? I got it for you. Listen, if there's capex worries, right? So, let's say you've got a situation here with capex where people are going to become concerned that these companies have way over orderered and they're way over building infrastructure, right? Let's say that's a concern that pops up here. Okay, got it. What does that mean? Well, it means chips are going to sell off, right? you get sell-offs in all the chip trade that has been the hottest movement that we've seen out there, right? Which then means what from there? Well, if more moderate capex, like the reason there's a lot of reasons stocks like Microsoft, Amazon, Meta have been kind of stuck in the mud, right? But a lot of it comes down to they're just spending so insane that people are like, I don't think they're going to ever get the return on investment of all this spend and they could be using share buybacks and things like that and they're not doing that anymore. So if there's capex moderation, the chip spender stocks are likely going higher, right? And the chip spenders are companies like Amazon, Meta, Google, Microsoft, those sorts of companies, right? And chips have just sucked all the air out of the room. Like like no one cares about any of the companies spending the fortunes. They're just looking at the chip companies. And obviously that's why Microsoft or that's why Micron stock went up like a,000%, right? That's why AMD has been one of the hottest stocks in the stock market. It's why SanDisk has ran like 4,000%. Right? The chips have been the play. Everybody's looking at like these companies are making fortunes of money. They're going to continue to make fortunes of money over the next few years. That's where it be. Right? Now, if the capex story is intact, right? Like, let's say they're not worried. They're like, "Hey, next year Meta's going to still up numbers significantly. Google's going to do it. Microsoft's going to do it. Amazon's going to do it. We don't have anything to be worried about in the short term, as in the next year or two, right? Well, that mean chips's wrong, right? That means AMD continues to fly. Next thing you know, AMD is $1,000, right? Micron continues to be strong. Although, like I've said before, Micron, I feel like that stock tops this year in regards to stock price. Although EPS won't top for likely at least a year or two, if not three years from now. We'll see what happens with that. Chips will grow, right? Chips would be the play and chips vendor sell off, right? So, knowing that we're playing this sort of game, here's what you do. You got to do exactly what I'm doing. own AMD heavy and then also own Meta, Amazon and Google and you're covered all around because basically whichever way this plays out and today is a great example. AMD sells off like look at yesterday. Yesterday AMD had a banger day right in the market. The chip spending companies were all very weak and public count hit a new all-time high yesterday. today. AMD, no bueno, Meta flying, Google flying, Amazon flying, public count, new all-time highs today, right? And so whichever way you want to slice it, we're we're moving up. We're moving up, right? It's a beautiful, beautiful thing. It's like AMD goes higher, boom, public account, new alltime high. Meta, Amazon, Google, those stocks move higher. Meta, AMD goes lower, we're still going higher. So, you know, we're kind of like I almost have like a hedged portfolio at this point in time, right? The only way the public account really gets screwed is the whole market crashes, right? Whole market crashes, but that could be said at any point in time, right? Well, then I'll be happy I got some cash on the sideline because I'll be buying stocks at great prices, right? Great deals. And there's a lot of them out there. So, if the market is kangaroo, if the market goes up, my bases are covered. I've got it. I'm like a hedged portfolio. On the flip side, whole market crashes, okay? like everything's going down, Chinatown. That just is what it is. But that's the risk of doing business. That's why, you know, time in the market beats time in the market. Don't play that whole game of trying to get in, get out, and all those sorts of things. Okay. So, that's a way to play this game. Okay. All righty. Next up here, let's talk about the next stock to pull an ELF type move. And then we'll get into I'm going to explain how to not screw up your portfolio after you've been on a beef run like we're on right now. Okay. All righty. Listen. Ef doing pull-ups on the shelf. Okay. Oh, what a move this has been. 60 plus percent, right? When a stock like ELF moves, it moves. Okay, the next stock to pull this sort of move in my personal opinion, and man, it had a quite a move here today. It did indeed. It is Celsius Holdings. Celsius up almost 9% here today. And this is a stock I've been banging my hand on the table here recently. And if you've been watching my videos, especially over this past month, Celsius is one of my most talked about stocks. I look at the stock as an unbelievable opportunity and I believe it's next up for an ELF type move in regards to this one. If you don't know Celsius, huge energy drink company with big growing brands, Celsius, Alani and then they actually just acquired Rockstar recently from Pepsi which is a old brand legacy brand that hopefully they can revive back to life and get that moving in the right direction. Right. No, for why do I think Celsius is the next elf type move where all of a sudden just going flying 50 100% in a quick amount of time. Well, it's a smaller company kind of like an elf, right? It's a growth company. You got to understand with growth companies very volatile those stock prices. And the reason growth companies are so volatile is generally speaking they trade at little richer valuations. Although I make a argument that ELF and Celsius are both significantly undervalued right now. But growth companies like ELF, like Celsius, if you're more confident growth rates are going to be better and better and there's going to be acceleration of growth rates, the moves are insane to the upside. On the flip side, if people think decelerating growth rates are more bearish on future growth, I mean, the moves down on those stocks are brutal. They'll move down 50 60% like that. And it's like, oh, you're just getting absolutely obliterated in the short term in regards to stocks, right? But remember, great growth companies, where do they go over the long term? They go up into the right, right? But the other thing with Celsius, it has a history, a history of making shocking moves where the stock will double or more in a matter of months. Okay, good example of this. 2022 stock over 2x's in a matter of months. Right here, 2023, stock over 2x's in a matter of months. Right here, this was the end of 2023 into the first half of 2024. Stock over 2x's in a matter of a few months. Right here, 2025, stock over 2x's in a matter of months. Celsius is a history over and over and over again of doing this game of the stock crashes and 2x or more in a matter of months, right? And so, and it does it basically every year. Did it in 2022, did it in 2023, did it in 2024, did it in 2025. What do you think is going to happen in 2026? I'm going to go out there on a limb. I'm going say it's going to 2x or more in a matter of months. And that's exactly, in my opinion, what we'll see out at this point in time. And so I believe the stock has already bottomed although it's not as clear of a bottom as ELF is, right? But I believe the stock has bottomed and we'll see that sort of insane runup. If for any reason the stock has not bottomed for people that believe in Celsius longterm, it's an unbelievable buying opportunity, right? Like I like I I hope it hasn't bottomed. I hope it goes down to 25. I do not believe that's the situation, but I hope it does. I hope it goes down a dosey do a 22. Put it down a 22. Put it down 25. But at 31, it's still a huge, huge buy. Okay, I'll show you Monster. Monster is a company I used to own back in the day. I used to own it back when it's called Henson's Natural Beverage. There's a past 20 years for Monster Stock. Obviously, you've had monster returns over the past 20 years in Monsterto. 5,222% gain over the past 20 years. Right now, the thing with Monster, what a great stock, but my gosh, look at the amount of crashes you had in the stock. insane crashes, right, where the stock would go down 20 to 60% in months and then it would just go through an unreal upward move where the stock would just move insane, right? I mean, it's unbelievable. And keep in mind, these moves were even more dramatic. This is over a 20-year chart, right? So, it's not going to show you like how dramatic the moves really were, cuz a lot of times they just put these on a one-mon basis. But believe me, the moves were even more dramatic up and down. like the peaks were even higher than the peaks are showing here and the lows were even lower than what this chart is showing. So just understand that as well. Okay. And even with this like not looking as bad as it could, it still shows you the countless amount of crashes and unreal upside moves the stock had over time, right? Which is exactly what we're going through with Celsius now at this point in time, right? And I believe Celsius has that sort of opportunity over the next 20 years of, you know, being a stock that rewards investors with a massive market cap and, you know, an unbelievable amount of gains. Right now, my opinion with Celsius is I think we take out all-time highs before 2029. Now, the all-time high for Celsius was in the high 90s, like a slight fever. Okay, I think it was 99 somewhere around there. 98.99, something like that, right? I think we take out that all-time high before we get to 2029. And so, I think this is just the start of a multi-year mega run in Celsius, but it's going to be shocking, right? It's not going to be up in a straight line. It's not going to be like, oh, every day, every week, every month is up for Celsius. I don't think so at all. Right? Keep in mind, I could be wrong about Celsius. Maybe they're doomed and no one buys Celsius and Alani and Rockstar and any future brands they come out with. Maybe, you know, no one cares. like I don't think that's the situation. I think they're going to continue to take market share and continue to be able to get higher prices longterm and continue to be in a great spot, right? And so my belief is we take out those all-time highs before we get to 2029 and uh the run will be insane and people will look and it'll be like you know the thing with Celsius you'll look at that stock you know we'll make a run where the stock will 2x in you know a 2 3 month span and people are like how how does Celsius just 2x like that? That's what great growth stocks do. They shock you. they come out with these shock and awe moves that people are just like can't wrap their heads around, right? And that's also why when you hold high growth stocks, you know, you've got to be mentally prepared for crazy moves. Crazy moves. You've got to be when you ever you buy a high growth stock, you've got to be mentally prepared to go down 50 plus% on that stock. That's what great growth stocks do. You might think, "Oh, it's just they're up." No, I cannot. There's not a stock I can show you that's a high growth company that didn't crash 50 plus percent. Likely multiple times in its public company history. I can't show you one. Apple, Nvidia, Google, MATA, I mean Microsoft, Amazon, AMD, Micron. I I can't show you like we could look at the whole list. I I can't find a stock that didn't crash like 50% or more and likely multiple times over its public company history. Tesla, like we go through the whole list of them. So, just understand you buy a high growth stock, be mentally prepared to go on 50% on it. And also be mentally prepared to have some incredible rallies where you're trying to figure out what's the next Ferrari you're going to buy. Okay? Because that's what great growth stocks do. So, one minute you're thinking about, am I eating ramen noodles? Next minute you're thinking about should I eat at uh Carbon right on the Bellagio fountains? Should I eat yellowtail tonight or should I eat sushi from Walmart? You know, that's what you'll be thinking, right? Should I go down the win and go have some fun or should I go to Circus Circus? That's the type of stuff we're talking about with growth stocks. Okay. All righty. Next up here, let's talk about Let me do a little gem dropper for you guys here today on this last subject. How to not f up your portfolio because this happens a lot. People go through an insane run. They'll hit all-time highs in their portfolio. They're making so much money, it's insane. And next thing you know, they screw it all up and they put themselves way behind where they should be. And it takes them several years to get back. I've done that before in my 18 years being in the stock market. It sucks. It's absolutely brutal. And a lot of times it's self-inflicted wounds. It's not, oh, the whole market went against me. It could be the market slightly went against you, but you made it way worse. Okay? So, let me give you guys some game here so you guys don't screw it all up. Okay? Okay. Listen, few things. One, GVD 1, two, three, growth, value, dividends. Make sure you're making a portfolio that's comprised of growth stocks, value stocks, and dividend stocks. And try to have at least three stocks of each one. Your one you believe in the most gets the most money allocated toward it. The one you believe in the second most gets a little less money allocated toward it. The one you believe the third most of that group gets a little less money allocated toward it. Right? So three growth stocks, three value stocks, three dividend stocks. That's like the core of a portfolio right there. Right? Of let's call it a six figure plus portfolio. If you got a portfolio of $15,000, you really need to have nine stocks. Not necessarily. Right? We're talking about six figure portfolios and above. That's when you really got to think about, okay, I got to have three growth stocks, three value stocks, three dividend stocks in there, right? Nine stocks. and then how I allocate money appropriately to those particular stock right that will keep you from going all in one stock or all in two stocks and putting yourself in huge problem right don't mess around with margin you know if you've made a lot of money don't get don't get greedy with it that's part number three don't get greedy you know that a lot of times what happens is people start looking and they say gosh I made so much in the stock but next time I should go call options because like I made a lot of money in the stock but I couldn't make so much more if I was in call options. Instead of making 200% on the stock, I could have made a,000%. That's what they start saying, right? They start getting greed. They start saying, "Oh, I wish I had even more money to invest. I've been there. I've been in the game 18 years. I've gone through all these phases. It's, you know, you it's always a wrong decision. Always." And so, what happens is the next one they're like, "Oh, I'm going to go call options cuz you know, that last one I made 200%. I should have made 2,000%. This time I'm going call options." And again, guess what? That next stock doesn't work out. Doesn't work out. And their options expire worthless. And they're like, "Oh my gosh, I just blew up my portfolio on call options, right? Or on margin, got margin called things like that, right?" Don't try to force it. Do not try to force it. Too many times people over and over again, force it. Let the market come to you, right? Let the market come to you. Warren Buffett says, "You don't have to swing at all the pitches." Don't force it. Let it come to you. And that's something you learn in sports. You know, a lot of times in sports, like, you know, a basketball player can get impatient and they start trying to force shots that aren't there bad. They start taking bad shots and they end up putting themselves even in a much worse position. Their whole team in a worse position, right? Don't force it. Focus on the long term. There's always a million things thrown at you in the short term. Just focus on the long term, right? and think about where you're going, where your portfolio is going over the next 5, 10, 15, 20 years, not the next, you know, 3 weeks. And, you know, sometimes I'll get a comment from somebody and they'll be like, "Jeremy, I don't have the next 5, 10 years to play with. I need to focus on the next month." Don't play this game. This isn't the right game for you. You know, if you're just trying to gamble because, you know, you need to be rich tomorrow, next month, then you're not This is game is not for you. This is for long-term players that are thinking years out, not thinking about next month. If you, you know, you're trying to make some money so you can, you know, buy the next flat screen TV or to pay rent for the month, like, this is not the game for you. Go make some dang money. Go out there, get a job, start a business, start a side hustle, do something like, no, no, you you got the whole wrong mentality. With with what I do, with what we do, we focus on the long term. We're trying to build great long-term wealth over the next 5, 10, 15, 20 years. Not like, are we trying to get rich, you know, in the next 5, 10 weeks or the next 5, 10 days. No, you got the game all backwards and, you know, you're just not. No, no, no. That's not the right mentality. Okay? You know, if you think about me and kind of where I've been in my life, right? And from this kid right here who's running track, getting into, you know, investing and I would read physical annual reports on the bus while we're going to track meets and other kids' be like, "What are you doing? You're reading. What is this thing you're reading?" Right? And I'm like, "Oh, it's a the latest quarterly report for blah blah blah company, right?" You know, from that kid investing a few hundred to where I am today, that was long-term focus. It wasn't like I'm on this bus, you know, to the track beat and like next year I need to have a Ferrari. No, I always focus on the long term and building wealth the right way, doing it the right way, and those sorts of things. And I still made plenty of mistakes along the way, which is what you're going to do. That's that's that's investing as business. You want to get to the big money, you're going to make some mistakes. My thing with you guys is I just want to make sure you don't have to go through the same mistakes I went through, right? No different than a parent with, you know, a parent that, you know, had to go through some hard stuff and made some mistakes in their day, right? When they were a teenager, when they're in their 20s. They try to keep their kid away from that, you know? They're trying to like, listen, man, I've been there. I've done that. Screw up. You don't need to go there, okay? I'm going to try to show you this path so you avoid making these mistakes that I had made, right? And I didn't have somebody there to walk me through this whole game. I didn't have somebody to hold my hand and I didn't have a YouTube channel to watch some guy that's been doing it forever that was like, "Listen, here's how you play the game. Here's how you do this. Avoid this." I didn't have that, right? I learned from Warren Buffett clips back in the day and then through trial and error and realizing, okay, I got to look for companies that have this. Oh, this is a mistake. Oh, I got caught into this. Okay, you know, and so I'm just here to provide you guys with hopefully a path so you don't make the mistakes I made and hopefully you have, you know, many of the successes that I'm able to have in this game, right? And so when I think about myself today right I'm going to eventually have a place in Steinway Tower. It's going to be unbelievable. It's probably going to be a $30 million unit overlooking Central Park, but that's not today, right? I got the house overlooking the Las Vegas strip right now. And so, I'm not focused on getting there tomorrow or next year for that matter, right? Like, that's a long-term goal. And so, same way this Jeremy wasn't focused on like, oh, I need to go get the Ferrari. I need to go get the house, you know, that overlooks the whole city right now. Like, that's a long-term goal for me. And so, that's how you got to think. You got to think in regards to long-term goals so you get caught up in all the short-term crap, right? And put yourself once again way behind the ball. I gave out this message at 11:00 last night to my private group. I said, "This is definitely a first. Public count hit a new all-time high. Yet 16 of the 19 stocks in the public count are closer to 52- week lows and 52- week highs." Now, for a moment, imagine if many of those 16 stocks go on a run. Imagine where the public count will be. This is all possible. This is it. It's also possible all 16 of those stocks are bad forever, but I doubt it. If these other stock can go on a run over the next one to two years, the public account could go $7 million within 24 months. If AMD continues to run between now and year end, that could take the public account alone to $5 million plus. I say keep building, keep growing regardless of how things play out the next 1 to two years. For big picture, think about positioning your portfolio properly for the next 5 to 10 years. Think about building the type of portfolio you want to take into the 2030s. You already got to be thinking about the 2030s when you are adding stocks to your portfolio here in 2026. You got to be thinking about, am I buying the right type of companies at the right type of valuation that I feel comfortable taking into the 2030s. That's how your mentality should be. If your mentality is in that place, you're in a good place and you're likely going to make a lot of right decisions. If your mentality is, what's the hot stock to be in between now and the end of the year? What stock's going to go up the most over the next six months? You're in the wrong mentality. Wrong mentality. Okay. Focus on building a portfolio you're proud of for the next 5 10 plus years, right? All righty, ladies and gentlemen. I hope you enjoyed today's video. Hope you got a lot of value out of it.
