 And we're live here on the independent investor channel live stream. I Dropped a live stream last Sunday Just because I've been so busy with my personal schedule That it's almost easy to drop in and do a live for you guys and at least give an update I was coming back in my private group today and It seems like it is exactly what I expected it to be with where we are with highly on holdings And that is in a very very frozen state Stock markets looking like it's on edge. It's a 50-50 take whether or not we're going to catch a little bit of acceleration In the broader markets going into year's end. It's really been a tough market here in 2022 But for my grand reviewing audience those that tune into me with regularity Know that I've been calling this since January of 2021. So we're going on two full years here of pretty pretty pretty poor market performance what a lot of people don't understand and and a lot of what I don't understand about people who Criticize and get all emotional on one way or the other on the stock market You're great if you pick a winner or you're terrible or you're a terrible person if you pick a loser I don't think any of that exists And I've said this from the very very beginning with regard to highly on holdings It is a small company that is looking to make an enormous change in a one trillion dollar industry. Okay Have they had to go through the rigor of the IPO process? This company would not be public right now, okay? so the very scrutiny that's put over the company at this particular juncture is all fair You're a publicly traded company and I've been one of those critics of the company along this road in that the Frustration sets in when you know a company doesn't do what it is They exactly said was going to do and we start to hold them to a level of scrutiny because they're a publicly traded company We're not getting enough transparency. We're not getting enough in way of news We're not getting enough in way of progress But I digress and I remind each and every person out there that if you were looking at this Opportunity from the very beginning at around the ten dollars back initial price when it came public Watched it fire all the way up to the fifty eight dollar range. There was a ton of people But entered into this name and thought that they had the very best of of everything Probably not a lot of due diligence I'm sure there was a lot of people that actually did due diligence and I throw that out there in some interesting terms because I think a Lot of people Will look at a stock and they'll get really excited about it and they'll consider that to be due diligence, right? I challenged that notion and furthermore I challenged the idea that somehow the retail investing community has all of the information at hand enough to make an informed decision Enough to actually maybe place some of the odds on their side in their stock market deliberation. I Been doing YouTube a long long time and for the first couple of years of doing YouTube My sole mission was to get people to understand the importance of passive investing Okay, passive investing and I've done a lot of study on the passive Vehicles that you can invest in One of the investors that has come to the YouTube scene here over the last I would say a couple of years His name is Chris. He's with strongman personal finance. He released a video this week on highly on I watched it and I didn't have the same reaction as a lot of other people And I guess there's a lot of people upset. I had one person come into my channel and said Hey, you better watch out for your ass strongman's looking for you or he's coming for you And I didn't really like to see coming and in my ass in the same sentence And I'm fairly certain that Chris is in fact a heterosexual which is puts me a little bit at ease But I've invited him on the channel tonight. He had a little bit of a scheduling conflict this evening And he did tell me in a couple of times that if he could make it on he absolutely would and he's always welcome on the Channel guys. Here's the thing man. I do not stymie free seat free speech. Okay, this is America Jack All right, you get to say what you want to say All right, if you want to say demeaning things about a company, you can do that I would suggest that you have some merit behind that scrutiny Okay, and it's always easier to scrutinize a company during times like this, right? So if I can just give the pulse of the highly on air community, see I didn't just start investing in highly on last week I invested in highly on more than two years ago And there's a few of us in the community that it can actually resonate with that conviction Now I was buying the stock sub 20 I let the stock ride from sub 20 all the way back down to sub 20 Before I eventually made my first sell of the stock and actually started accumulating shares in the company at around the Sub $12 mark my dollar cost average is anywhere from around $7.50 to $8.50 It's right in that range. I bought blocks all the way down I did not get caught up in the hype in euphoria and hindsight It would have been awesome to come on and actually look to warn my fellow investors that it was a hype train but that was not the Interest of people during the SPAC craze it wasn't and Let me remind you during the SPAC craze that there were people jumping on all kinds of stocks Thinking that they had found the next the next lesson of Jesus, right? They had discovered everything that they had been looking for in there in their world, right? They were a complete disaster their entire life, but fell on to this or discovered the stock stock SPAC craze and If you remember every SPAC went on a predictable Entry into market and then run up and there was a lot of people that was pulling a lot of arbitrage cash Off of the SPAC feels and most of those SPACs have really kind of gone to the wayside now But if you remember correctly Hylian was also one of those that ran up in the SPAC craze with a lot of hype in the market a lot of euphoria in the market and This was right before the global pandemic yet and I think if they're in all fairness with regard to the systemic issues going on right now with the stock market I don't think it goes a whole lot further than the global pandemic and the effects that it has had on people mentally household stress household debt household budgets The the stimulus that went out right people are paying that back through their taxes now having to claim that stuff But it put the government in a really really tough spot in that you can't just pay the entire country and expect that inflation It's just gonna remain happy and right now the inflation rate is pissed off and Interest rates are having to be jacked up at an alarming rate right now Which are putting systemic pressure on a lot of very good companies adobe adobe is a wonderful company cut in half Okay, some of those other companies out there probably that are incurring some buyer demand stress right now Amazon Google still the same wonderful company still same wonderful cash flows the dividend companies are still doing well But there has not been a company out there that has not been subject to the Volatility that has been doled out in 2022. I digress now If by nature of looking at the stock price, okay, and I said look, okay I'm gonna start entering into the stock at $12 Did I think that it had more downside momentum at the time? No, it was an ill-fated call on my part Does it mean that I'm a bad person? No, does it mean that I'm a bad investor? No, it doesn't and I've been very very crystal clear with my audience with regard to this opportunity and I Want to pose it to you guys in this way. All right a hundred shares of the company right now. I'll run you $260 I Always try to establish a bit of a of a comparative analysis between what people justify Okay, and what people will even Criticize okay in way of somebody's stock decision as Opposed to some of the other things that we justify in this society spending our money on okay $260 all at once highly on goes to zero. It's a catastrophic loss however if I were to go to Las Vegas and put $260 on the blackjack table and lose it Catastrophically in one hand You'd give me kudos you think man Ryan you got some cone. He's you playing that big hand all at once. That's fantastic What if I sat there and par laid that hand at $10 a hand for six eight hours, right? Society would say man Ryan. That's incredible. You're you're you're really spreading your wealth out there and You you knew your limit and you adhered to your limit and hopefully you got some education and some entertainment Out of that Ryan good job. I hope you had a good time in Las Vegas What stays in Vegas what goes on in Vegas stays in Vegas. Hope you had a good time, right? But I find it interesting right now There is very few people that are talking about as the stock goes down the potential for it becoming a better buying opportunity That it that it is okay, what everybody is talking about is looking at the historical digression of the stock Somehow forming an opinion that somehow the company is not good or the company now is reflective of the stock price And it's said digression and I will admit the end of this year here. I've been fairly disappointed in the news I'm excited that the Hylian was picked to actually deliver the tree downtown I would have went and covered it myself. I live right here Probably would have taken me less than an hour to get down to Wall Street and actually film the whole thing I would have done it for free. I think that's a missed opportunity Just like I think it's a missed opportunity for Thomas Healy the CEO To not be so forthcoming with your owners or whoever is monitoring the Twitter feed I catch every single tweet that comes out on Hylian and is it really that much to understand a small Explanation as to why agility Was not included in the white glove service Can somebody answer that right? So I'll leave that rhetorically to the group but when we have somebody like Chris and I'm known Chris a long long time This is this is what he does. He likes. I hope he likes doing it. I hope he likes getting under people's skin Okay, because YouTube needs its skin Got under Okay, so if you're coming in here with sympathy from me yada yada, okay The man can say whatever he wants, okay? I Just question What the motive is right? Is it in line with the jarring behavior getting in under people's skin, right? Am I thrown in with the griffs right coming on and doing my weekly Hylian videos? When my purpose for doing so is 100% genuine genuine and well-intended and Furthermore if you would like to consider me a grift because I do take compensation for some of the other companies and that rubs you the wrong way or you disagree that I shouldn't get mine or that somehow I should just come out a pocket with all of this equipment that's shining down on me right now Thousands and thousands of dollars worth of equipment and somehow I shouldn't be compensated for those efforts on my on my part I would suggest that you start a YouTube channel and call it charity YouTube And provide content to people free of charge, okay? I just don't I don't discredit my information like that, okay? I don't devalue my message like that because I've had Way way many too many people come to me and say hey Ryan you got me thinking about this this and this and like wow I really didn't mean to you know Engage in any type of thought provoking with that statement, but that's interesting That's what you heard and hopefully you found some motivation to step and for most people it's stepping from zero to something Okay, and Chris has been doing YouTube for a couple of years now and he's enjoyed some incredible success The guy pumps out On some occasions multiple videos per day. Okay, so if you want to understand devotion There it is now with regard to the merits of the content That's for each and every one of you get to decide whether or not you want to support the message Some people are gonna be like I hate the guy the guy's a family guy, right? And people are gonna be out there. I hate the guy, you know, and it's like is the season for loving I guess all that shits out the window is Christmas season. We're gonna we're gonna hate on each other and You know, I hope he does make it on because we certainly do have a spirited Debate to go. I don't mind getting contentious I think Americans for the most part are pussies and we can't engage in combative dialogue and then shake each other's hand at the end of it and say hey, I really I really got something out of this but the video that he released was really talking about these Really focused on the financial statements. Okay, which is right in Chris's wheelhouse. He's a certified public accountant So understanding those and and how to read those Really kind of pays dividends for Chris and it's pretty cool to actually hear him scrutinized and he has he scrutinized and many many companies out there by going through the financial statements Sharing that insight and what he sees with a specific company and highly unjust so happened to be the flavor of the week this week No problem When you focus on a company that I've been covering With some devotion for the last couple of years. Obviously, it's gonna it's gonna get my attention I know a lot of people reach out to me and you're like you gotta have Chris on the channel, man You got to hear him out. You got a I don't know slam dunk him or whatever it is That that's not really my my intent at the end of the day when I shut down the live stream this evening I'll still be a highly on investor and By nature of the merit that he explained on a 10 12 minute video That's the rationale that he's using potentially not to take a position on the company and at the end of the day That's okay. Now. I don't know evidently. There was a post and there was some There was some generation of some chair and in the discord group, which is an Information forum that I recommend. I really like it. I'm friends with a lot of the discord group out there I endorse them and I support them wholeheartedly, but You have to understand that when people come in with differing opinions, okay, it's it's not the end of the world All right, I don't get but hurt when people tell me. Hey, it's a bad investment Now ask them why I want to understand what they're seeing. Do they not think that they have a viable solution, okay? Do they not think that they have a product that could be commercially viable? Do they do they think that they're they have a product that is not going to Uphold the rigor of the Class 8 space Mm-hmm. Do we think that a diesel dominated past is Allowing us to be way too relunctant on the introduction of compressed natural gas in a much larger capacity I don't know. I don't know. These are all very very legitimate questions to be add And we need to look at it through those lens and we need to engage in those discussions But I think a lot of people I watched half of the video half of it I couldn't listen to I was following the subscripts and then I clicked over and I listened to the end of it And he was going over the financials. Hey, the company's burning money, which they are He talked about the research and development and he missed the underlying fundamental when he talked about the R&D tripling I don't know where he got that except for 2021 or 2020 to 2021 the R&D certainly stepped up there But but for good reason, right? So if you come to public markets as a SPAC And you raise all of this money through the SPAC process to see your business plan through and your proof of concept through I would be much more worried if they just were not spending cash at all Okay, now they're burning capital in ways that I scrutinize But I don't have enough merit to say that the average salary at at highly on holdings shouldn't be $87,000 it is did you guys know that? Right. There's a company that doesn't generate any churn at all. I mean, I'm covering another company that's a 40 million dollar market cap and Those executives do not get paid They don't get paid their share compensation until the company makes money That's pretty incredible. And this is on a company that is 40 million dollar market cap a duro clean technologies Which is another company I covered and oh by the way They don't make any money either on their balance sheet and oh by the way shell oil Just pick them up on the game changer program because their technology is that good, right? So you have a potential of looking at one metric a very important metric and potentially missing out on the fundamentals of another metric which Brings us to the discussion of what it is that we should be looking at in the micro cap space at all Okay, there's a lot of people who misconstrue my message and they come on and they're like Ryan's got a shit together I do I absolutely do. Okay, but and I do a very very good job I don't keep any secrets about like where my net worth is and what I'm working with I'm not a multimillionaire, but I certainly have some pay dirt stacked up. Okay, and I haven't gotten lucky stacking that pay dirt I've put together a plan and I adhere to that plan No matter what whether or not I'm investing in a duro clean technology or I'm investing in SCHD I just bought 75 shares of SCHD just this week. That was a $5,700 bill Okay, normal retail investors don't typically engage in that type of activity enough to come on to a YouTube channel and say Yeah, damn, this is what I did and if you don't believe me, I can send you a screenshot But I don't have to I don't have to lie about that Because it is what I would do if it wasn't for the complements of YouTube It just so happens that YouTube gives me a voice and I come on and I share what it is that I'm doing The dollar cost average that I do to my index funds my S&P 500 passive Index funds that I do not compromise. I do not sell. I do not trade. I do not I don't even look at it cross-eyed But I continually fund those markets up over time and the S&P my federal thrift savings plan, which is the equivalent to a 401k for a lot of people out there Was actually up year over year and it's been up a couple of times. It's probably digressed a little bit. I don't care But the point is I'm exercising a ton of different disciplines out there. Okay I digress some people would say well, you're a shitty investor because you invest in highly on or You do this or or you look left or you don't look at the camera enough or you don't look right or you're not scathing enough or You're not loud enough. You're not quiet enough. You're too loud. Your camera sucks. Your noise sucks You know your lighting sucks this and that and everybody's got an opinion about what they think about everybody else The ironic part about that is that is not my bailiwick Okay, if you expect me to come on and get in everybody else's knickers on youtube That is not my thing and i'm not suggesting that it can't be somebody else Chris has done a great job in generating churn as a matter of fact One of his biggest targets is one that I tried to target when I first started doing youtube Because I would watch the videos and I was like are other people hearing this really I mean he'd be reading balance sheets and he'd be looking at it and being like Yeah, see here. This figure is is stacked up high And and people would comment and it's all positive comments So it led me to believe that there's a lot more followership out there than personal empowerment and independent thought Which is I'll never apologize for that never and if I Somehow get under your skin and somehow challenge you to perhaps maybe I don't know take on a mindset of your own And actually engage in some independent thought Maybe just sit back Look, okay Call me an asshole get that out of the way real quick and then sit back and understand and say god Well, what what is it that ryan's seeing he's still an asshole, but i'm gonna i'm gonna just play Let's play the game for a second and just understand what ryan Has said many many times about what he's trying to do with this opportunity Okay, and right now is the best time to actually look at it because Nobody in the right mind's touching it. Nobody's investing it Right averages are down Everybody's thinking about it. It's not on anybody's radar Okay, except for some of the bigger institutions that a bot shares this year And they'll just sit on them and definitely because the story marked my word in 2022 2023 2024 will unfold how it unfolds. I haven't the slightest idea. I have an idea about how financially um Capable they are of walking that path I have a crystal clear idea of some of the catalysts that are An almost certainty at this point I said ryan. Yeah, come on now. You okay. You still suck. All right But tell me what these utter certainties are in this company Well, the other other utter certainties is the fact that this company is out actually making deliveries right now Using c and g and r and g as a fuel Using an on-board generator to power a battery pack that powers the e-axle And it can get a thousand miles of range. That's going on right now. You can dispute me all you want right You can tell me i'm wrong. You can tell me that sucks You can tell me that drivers are not going to want to drive this vehicle However, it would be in the face of way too many testimonials that i've heard Of drivers getting out of the truck and they're like that that's a game changer. That's an incredible Performance the acceleration is fantastic. And it's actually a safer vehicle to drive. It's easier to drive It's actually quiet Right, it's actually easier on the driver experience all these intangibles that I know there's proof of concept already in each of those different categories And I don't know drivers truck drivers man. Tell me if i'm wrong. I don't know maybe it's not important to be comfortable maybe driving A class 8 diesel semi truck is actually really really fun and really really comfortable Maybe it's just like driving my Toyota Tacoma that I Enjoy and love and drive one mile to work every single day. I don't know. Maybe it's the exact same experience Maybe there is no credibility that can be had from talking about the category of driver experience, right mandates government mandates and incentives fuel incentives and Upfront tax credits for the unit. Why is this important? Okay, if I'm a fleet and the government says here here's 40 grand to start this new technology for us Go have fun. I'd be like tax and I'm good. I have a reliable metric over here Diesel cost me an arm and a leg, but it's reliable. I can build metrics off of it You want me to take this leap of faith with you for for no reason? I don't need to do that I keep diesel and if you look out if any one of you guys are in the close proximity of a major freeway I'm in new york. I have freeways around right through my backyard. It seems like But if you have the luxury of actually looking at the freeway systems that we have Next time you're out there You can be rest assured that those trucks that you're looking at are powered by diesel by diesel. Okay now Is that what we want for our future is to continue to be subjected to a diesel dominated future? Is that what we want? I think if the fleets which to their credit It is a bottom line money monetary decision that they make And if it was strictly monetary and there was no political pressure whatsoever and there was no incentive whatsoever to turn to the green initiative, okay, I hate to even use that term because I think there is credence to a Fuel agnostic future. I do. I think the attractiveness to a fleet to say hold on a second. Hold on a second If the solutions out there are not viable to where I can look at my entire routes and a hundred percent of those routes are better accommodated by diesel You have nothing to sell me on okay. I'm sorry highly on thank you very much for playing ball But you have nothing to offer me, okay We're moving into a situation and I explain the highly on opportunity as being like the first batter in the first inning Of a multi decade game. Okay multi decade Now do I think it's going to take a multi decades for highly on to actually turn the page to Top end revenue that's attractive. Maybe even dare I say bottom line profitability I I don't I don't know. I don't know. It doesn't matter Okay But does highly on sport a solution that they can sit across from the industry right and say look let's look at your hundred Roots here hundred percent of the routes and let's earmark these few over here And question whether or not a supplement. Let's say a neck. Let's say a nicola solution. Okay Let's say a nicola solution if that nicola solution fits perfectly into that That they wouldn't be on board to look at the potential of an integration into their fleet with the new technology Okay, and a lot of people out there would say no. I would say no forget it. It's not worth it What is the real meat potatoes here ryan? What is the incentive? It doesn't make any sense I just told you that I can cover all my routes with diesel It's available and you want to put a nicola truck on there Why because they just established a hydrogen plant that actually can facilitate that route 100 percent and I can give be given some certainty that that truck can proceed along that route and make those deliveries As prescribed Okay I'm not playing ball I'm not changing to a nicola product right now. I don't need to do that I'll take the higher upfront cost for the stability in the name that I get i.e diesel. Okay now What is going on right now in the industry that people need to understand Is that there is real pressure? There is a real need There is real willingness to change Let me presume for a second that there is reluctance to change as I just explained Because the industry can sit back and say you've got to show me something that will work You'll have to show me something to where 99 percent of my routes are off limits We're not touching them. My logistics department has them dialed in. Okay, but this one percent You got to sit across from me and sell me on the opportunity to actually Integrate your solution into that route. Okay That's with no pressure And the pressure that I speak of my friends is coming from two different sources Number one the federal government Okay, the federal government there are federal mandates now that the oems are called the act I believe mandates and acf mandates I believe I may be screwing up those acronyms, but one is for the oem One is for the fleets. Okay The oem mandates would suggest that 25 percent of all of the products that are turned off of the line Are a low carbon footprint low esg type of application Hmm I wonder if hylion had any idea that this mandate would be coming along the line Because what incentive does pack our Peterbilt have to partner with hylion What incentive do they have? Why would we go through this 500 million dollar science project as a lot of people have called it? Why? If all pack pack our has to do is say, you know what hylion? You're awesome. Thomas. You're a great guy You're a nice guy. You look really really good in your christmas get up But we're just going to take it another direction. We're good. We don't want to do business with it with you anymore Where does that leave the hylion opportunity? I'll wait if you think for a moment that somehow hylion did not have any idea about The need for their solution and the world needs the solution Okay, whether or not they end up hitting a home run with with peter built, which I think In essence, they already have Peter built this partnered with hylion to provide their first iteration of their hyper truck erx product Okay, and those products Are not a proof of concept anymore my friends. They are actually in controlled fleet trials as we speak delivering freight From point a to point b This is a revolutionizing. This is a revolutionary story. I was a little disappointed in the lack of p r That went into the 99th annual christmas tree getting delivered downtown new york And as big as my my new yorkers, I'm not one of them. I am a visitor here I am a pilgrim in an unholy land here in new york but As much as new york wants to boast How crazy they are about acknowledging climate change and Acknowledging how important it is to support climate change initiatives and Reducing noise pollution within our cities I was surprised at how little that got covered Um, and I was disappointed I would have done it I would have taken my few hundred dollars worth of equipment down there on my own dime mind you And I would have covered it myself and I would have blew it through my channel to be shared by the masses Whoever gets a hold of my content and whoever wants to share it with people out there because Here's here's the symbolism in that The symbolism in that is that you got to see a finalized product not certified okay But it was a finalized iteration of the hyper truck erx running on I would imagine compressed natural gas at the time when it delivered the tree that I don't see the competition providing those types of validations Anywhere so I go back to the mandates 25 percent coming off the lines 25 percent for the fleets to actually look to purchase so there's a reciprocative agreement there in the pressure that The industry knows that they can't have the luxury anymore of just Resting on their their their their their loils. Okay, what they've grown accustomed to Over the life of their businesses in their in their shipping and logistics I believe that they if they could they would I truly do Is the threat of diesel going to spiral the atmosphere out into oblivion and we're all going to just die Of of of nuclear frost is is that is that what we're talking about here? Probably not I think businesses would go head over heels and and take the Nuclear frost before they went out of business right so the decisions that they make have to be in the best interest of the business Okay, but with the pressure that's being put on at the government and the federal and state levels For those incentives and tax credits on the fuel side Are putting that ample pressure and all we have to really go on is the insights from the ceo Thomas Healy on this front when he discusses the fleet the fleets are over Zealous with need here. Okay. Now. I don't know how true that is I don't I don't know. I I don't know I don't presume to know I would like to think that we live in a world that it's got some people's attention In that this is a really good idea. It's a novel idea It it's one that frees us from the restraints of the grid that were Probably further along politically in accepting through bev application But is a better solution I mean, it's just a better solution and why it doesn't get more A credit is just beyond me at this point. All right Now the other catalysts that I talk about that are a foregone conclusion when we talk about the highly on opportunity EPA carb nitsa certification They are going about this on their own to achieve this from the federal government. Okay I know the federal government. Okay. I know a thing about it and I know how Big of a hurdle that is I think inevitably we will get there. What makes me say that It's because they're not doing it alone Okay Is this a 50 cent stock price that's farting out their ass saying that they're going to gain Carb and nitsa certification without the assistance of big industry. Absolutely not They have a small player in the corner and it's called commons And for anybody who's been sleeping under a rock for the last hundred years commons is a who's who in the industry Okay, they acquired at the time marator and they do supply the e-axle as well as the generator The genset unit to the hyper truck rx and if you don't think that it's in their best interest to see highly on Achieve their carb and nitsa certification I'd like to hear your argument on that Is it going to move the stock price? Hell probably not. I mean if I were going to judge The company's progress and catalysts that are inevitable that they just explain to you Then I would suggest that once they get carbon nitsa certification The stock is probably going to go down another 50 percent. Why wouldn't it? Why wouldn't it? I discussed a stock market and over the last couple of years have seen a lot of the darlings of the stock market roll off Not gain favor Really take it on the chin And I think it's affecting a lot of people's psyche. I really do I think people need to understand that stock market investing as I've said for the last six years of doing youtube Is not easy It's not easy Okay, and here's why it's not easy as it pertains to highly on holdings the stock h y l m Okay, this is why it's not easy. Okay My presumption is that highly on will go up in value at some point in time. Okay, what makes it extremely difficult Is for people to truly understand what it's going to take To hold those shares to profitability Sounds easy, right? This is what I talk about when I explain The easiest most difficult thing you can possibly do in stock market investing because most people have the patience of a p okay Most people will get involved with stock market investing and if you've never invested before You would have an extreme amount of difficulty even dealing with You know an s and p position that's initial thousand dollars that's digressed 30 percent. You're now down $300 300 and it's keeping you up at night. You cannot sleep you want to find That incompetent bastard on youtube who told you that information And you want to make sure that you do subscribe to their channel. Why not so you can sing them praise But so you can come on to youtube on every single video that they make After you're down that 30 percent that $300 and you're gonna make them pay You're gonna make them pay for that Okay You suck ryan. You're the worst investor ever. I should have just sold and waited for a better time in the stock market I should have just taken my thousand bucks and went to los vegas and had a good time with it I wish I would have went I tell you what ryan you son of a bitch I was looking at best buy at that 109 inch tv ryan I've only got one that's 92 inches hanging on my wall right now and that 109 Inch tv ryan. You've deprived me of you're a terrible person ryan. You suck You suck Okay, subscribe to the channel to provide visceral hate until they feel like they've got their $300 Vindicated in their heart of hearts right because it's all my fault It's all my fault that I shepherded them along this path to portfolio destruction And got them into a low cost or just provided awareness to I didn't get them into anything This is youtube you want to find out information on how to punch yourself in the face for 24 hours? You can find that on youtube have fun with that. Okay I share a testimonial on what I do and what works in stock market investing And take it for what it is Okay, I would do this if I had this project or not. It's just that simple okay So I want to get to some questions here guys. I'm still waiting on chris. I know Hey, no hard feelings at all man. I dropped it on him today. He said look, I'll make it if I can We will absolutely do it chris has been on the channel before I you know, I had him on the channel when he had like Maybe a thousand subscribers or so He was just a little channel that could And uh, we talked backstage He's he's he's very uh very Gets under your skin. No doubt about it. Um, not mine But but others it it seems like he's demoralizing some of the other channel creators And I don't know if he considers himself like making a difference Uh, I would I would go so far to say maybe it is making a little bit of difference because people are Kind of heating that message a little bit But I'm still waiting for him to make his way on if not we'll shut the live stream down We're still talking about my favorite stock out there in the market Which is highly on and I find it ironic that it is my favorite stock now When I've got things just about where I like them to be where I'm about the only one on my private island Speaking up speaking about something that I'm a hundred percent convicted on. I love it. I love it I was at the mall this evening And I was looking down at people's shoes What is it with people and and jordan's like You're not cool unless you get a pair of jordan's shoes and you walk anyway. Anyway, I don't know I find it interesting how people feel comfortable Subjecting themselves to group think but when it comes time to maybe challenge the status quo and I don't know Where you were going to come on and and throw visceral shots at ryan on the independent investor channel Maybe you think for a second and be like, you know what? I don't know if I would do that to his face as a matter of fact I'm here to tell you through youtube. You wouldn't trust me. I would tear you apart I would tear you apart, but people think that they can do it through youtube. It's funny Um and and just to think gosh that that's kind of a pussy move to do that to ryan He seems like an all right guy. He's a horrible investor He invested in highly on it 12 dollars and now it's at three dollars. He's horrible. He must be a horrible person, right? He's louise, man Can't wait. Let's go. Yeah. No. Hey, I would have liked to have had him on man He may pop on in the end here and if he does I'll go extra time. It's no problem. I've been working all weekend And it's been super super busy with me Hell yeah, ryan. This would be fun. It would have been fun I I guess fun is an emotion in stock market investing. I would have given him an example opportunity To to kind of explain a little bit more what he was talking about I thought it was a little one-sided when he was talking about the financial statements Even some of the comments that he made about not really having quite the handle on the r&d You would have picked that up only by sitting through all of the quarterly calls that I have subjected myself to over the last You know Many many quarters 12 quarters Since the stock has been public. It's been pretty crazy, you know, we're in probably what 14 quarters now Since coming public. So yeah, it would have been fun But here's a good one. You know james is one of those awesome guys that comes on He throws trash my way every single day and it's fantastic And usually that trash is being thrown my way when I'm trying to be out being a productive citizen in the community So I do appreciate your efforts james. So let's just let the group read that one. I'm going with farts To be the victor here As their free cash flow neutral So he's making a joke about the hydrogen sulfide that comes out of your ass, right when you push and it feels good It's a pressure relief thing right highly on however is already diluting. You know, they're not you don't know what you're talking about Loss making trash. I don't know what that means, but they're not diluting. I don't know what you're talking about neither do you really Which is why I think that chris probably was a little bit hungry for information, but It's he's pissing up my rope. So Might be a smart decision. It might not be who knows I don't know my jack and coke tastes good Give me a sec Yeah, but james is devoted. He's he's really he's really got it out for me He's really contributing to society become by coming on and making sure that Well, I don't know what he's trying to do making sure that what I I don't make it on youtube I don't worry. You can have it. I don't want to make it on youtube piss off I make it enough on youtube I impact a lot of people and empower them to look at I don't know you didn't even invest and came on You'd be like wow hear me out and Understand that I'm in the gym every single morning at five o'clock Here's the thing that's funny Like when I was in alaska and I was fishing on the fishing boats when we used to recruit people we used to go to the bar And we used to sit there and we'd order a drink and we'd look around the bar and you know Maybe talk to a few people about hey you looking for work And our criteria was we were looking for the biggest baddest dudes we could see like seriously Sometimes we'd have to take a tree and get it out of the net or you know fight a whale Yeah, I've been there done that. Um, I fought two sharks Saved a guy from getting his leg bit off by a shark all true stories. Um, I don't I don't BS The reason I tell the story is because when you get those big six five 300 pounders out there They're badass. They're badass. You get them out there and they turn into putty Because you can never judge somebody based on what it is that you see You put that in your pipe and smoke it All right You can never judge somebody based on what it is that you see because until you put them into the rigor You put them into the fire And and put them to the test man. You'll never know And um, it was just me and my brother's the only ones on this earth that I've been through the freaking fire with And they'll be they'll be the only ones that I'll ever go to bat with Few tough cats for sure that walked the walk with us. No doubt about it and would never quit. They were loyal you know, um And um, but uh, yeah, I mean the true test is just that man It's you can talk a big game but until you get thrown into the fire Um, be careful that you can back it up when put to the test. Cory gives me a thumbs up fantastic Or a hey, it's okay Fantastic good to see you my friend Balls are now made of steel Yeah, that comment that I got was interesting man. It said it said Uh, Chris is coming for your ass And I read it and I thought I wonder if that person read back that comment before they I think it was james Actually, let's put james back up here. I think it was james. He said that Chris is coming for your ass And I thought yeah, that's that's that's an interesting comment I wonder where james's mind is thinking about come and ass in the same freaking sentence. It's like man That's uh, that's a ooey gooey thought. Good job james appreciate that I'm not afraid of anything Nor should you be it's all good Would have been would have been fun the irony and the whole thing is that we get reputations on youtube It's funny and see I know the truth, right? So chris is coming on. He's being scathing and all that stuff I know he's a good guy. I know it. Okay, a little bit rough Um, he doesn't pull off the hat as well as he thinks he does He doesn't pull off the robe as well as he thinks he he does But hey, I give the guy kudos for trying man because that's something that I I'm not interested in doing I I think I think robes are for pussies and I just Just to say it like my wife has one, but I don't own all robe And I don't have any at any desire at all to go and and get a robe I sleep in my skizzies. I'm good. I don't need a robe and I don't like the word pajamas Hylian plus bo o I own lots of of both I'm into schd. I own it in two capacities right now Pretty nice. I've added those positions in and over the last couple years. I talk about the volatility in the markets And uh, it's been pretty bad But I've done nothing but add over the last 24 months Actually since january so about the last 20 20 or so months I funded it up and I'm really just if I could give you just uh Excuse me if I could give you just a gauge Of the last couple 20 months in the portfolio. It's just been holding in there. It's been holding in the pocket right it's been weathering the storm and look If I came on to youtube and I just started talking about how awesome the stock market is all the time Maybe you'd love me more. Um, but that's not just that's not the truth The truth is the stock market is not nice sometimes and you need to prepare to succeed in all markets Okay, you can't get pissed off when things don't go your way. Stop being a baby Okay And um prepare for bad times. That's why I say always have a nice horde of cash Right now I've got such a horde of cash that it's not even funny and I've continued to invest and hold cash The only thing that I buy is stock anymore. Maybe it's because I'm boring, but I walk through the mall And they have a nice deal on suits tonight, but um, I'll probably wear this suit that I bought I bought it eight years ago when I was in Detroit, michigan Eight years ago. I bought this thing and it was like 85 off. It really looks nice. It's sharp I've got the christmas party this thursday. I'll be sporting it for the first time eight years later after buying it Frugal Pretty cool stuff. My simple question or quiz would be why criticize any company He was criticizing the balance sheet. Okay. I didn't hear much criticism of the company I don't think chris knows an awful lot about the company, right? And that's why I would suggest that potentially he was looking more for a topic Then he was to actually bash a company like highly on that Is actually trying to do good by the world, right? So And I know chris knows enough to know to look at it and say I don't care how good it is for the environment I care what you're doing. Are you generating cash flow? No, are you generating top end revenue? Well If you consider 2 million in 2022 revenue Hell no and they're far delayed on what they promised to it, right proper Any company that you admittedly don't know much about right? So again, it brings me I see I know what it was, okay He's really popular right now on youtube. He's getting a lot of traction His subscriber growth is is growing and look if there's nothing else through Proof of concept on youtube go just start ripping into people and yelling and screaming at people and Talking about how bad and how crappy they are and how awesome you are it works That's awesome And to each his own with regard to what decisions you make about what direction you want to go with building your project It's all good. See my project has morphed into what you have today and a lot of people don't like it I do micro cap space. I do coverage and profiling. I love talking to CEOs I get to do it weekly I talk about highly on my favorite company and a duro clean technology So which is my fifth second favorite company? I talk about the value investing program that I add But if chris just came out talked about his investing philosophy It would be by by vt. That's it and he would shut down his channel because it was it would cease to exist That's his philosophy and it's a good one. It is a good one and when I talk about getting under people's skin That that's what people need to hear You know Justifying away from the passive investing gig is just rampant on youtube Everybody's looking for that that jeremy that's going to just shepherd them through the valley of the shadow of death and they will fear no evil It's just freaking people are stupid They're really stupid. They're looking for guidance and what they need to do is grow some balls. That's what they need to do Okay, truly All right So, you know, perhaps, um, I'll throw it up here if he comes in and give him a crack at answering himself But uh, you know, I didn't I didn't really take it that way. I don't know what Grumblings were I didn't I haven't logged into the discord for a while Those guys understand I I zoom in there and there's people in there And they've been in there for like since I was in there Which was like three weeks ago since the last earnings call and it's like Jesus christ Do you guys ever do anything else and it's like it's a time crunch for me, man I just don't have the time It will be interesting to see where highly on goes in the next five years Um, absolutely Jared. I think it'd be great. I'd like to see this I'd like to see the story prove out a little bit. Look people are going to lose confidence in the market if You know, we just we lose a ton of these really good novel ideas highly on is a really good idea Okay, it's a really good idea and I think chris would say look, okay, everybody's got a really good idea I made a comment on my micro cap video that I did. Maybe it was my live stream Maybe a couple live streams back and It just amazes me All the CEOs that I talked to every single one of them love their company Every single one of them think they're going to be a multi-billion dollar company And you want to know the irony in that 99% of them fail to do that, right? so You know, it is this in that category and I think it's got two strikes against it because it did come public via The SPAC process. It was not subjected to the financial rigor of the IPO process and shareholders are paying the price Shareholders put undue reliance on everything that the disclaimer said what you weren't supposed to do They took advantage of and I think the sec crimp crimp down on that activity to try to help protect You know, but would be SPAC Entrance to the market by just saying whatever it is they say My question to Thomas Healy and and the ceo would be what was the criteria? Through data and analytics that would suggest that you could get to 30,000 Units of sales 15,000 hybrids and 15,000 on the hyper truck erx if if you weren't even at a tier one status with the the very oem That you're looking to go to commercialization with in other words How do you project to shareholders to say yep? We can do 15,000 units when you knew wholeheartedly that you couldn't do 15,000 units Dare I suggest it's taken two and a half years to build up a backorder of 200 Right easy to scrutinize. Look if highly honest going to make something of itself the the the critics And I don't consider chris a critic of the company Chris is doing what it is that chris does on the strongman personal finance Okay, he's doing his thing. Okay, you can He's not pissing in your cheerios. All right. He's just doing his thing You don't think that highly on could do a better job in maybe swatting some of the flies and some of the negative attention that they get With regard to where they are now And actually looking at that war chest of capital that they had two years ago and actually questioning whether or not they'll run out of said Capital by the time they get through this bottleneck effect with pakkar And peter built and not have the ample funding to actually supplement the capex at 130 which will increase over time and actually have to raise funding through dilution To actually continue to operate this dream of commercialization for highly on going what five years from now They're going to run out of capital in two Okay, if there's not a transition of capex supplement in the next two years This company's in trouble It'll be taken over the ip will be bought up and it will be Taken to mass commercial and scale to somebody that actually has magnitude in the industry Actually has pull because it seems to me that highly on is having to manufacture every business deal that they run And this company needs to turn out thousands of orders. It's just that simple I can say it until i'm blue in the face, you know chris Probably as crazy as he was on his 10 minute video Missed a thousand bearish points on the company. You want to hear a really interesting bearish video? Have me do it It's just all the hate that I get on the channel on the channel and through the company that I really really do like I really want to see them succeed. I'm a shareholder in the company, but he missed all kinds of stuff Right, right So it will be interesting. I tell you what I'm looking for that interest to wet my palate here in about one year Not five years jared, but uh, I'm with you. It will be interesting I also like chris too. I love how he preaches to buy vt I'm not a big fan of vt vt. He's got too much international exposure. I'm american chap I'm not sure what his deal is not sure if he's a kami or why Did I just say that I did I apologize? It was my inner monologue speaking out loud, but vt has too much international exposure for my blood I don't need to invest in the entire world I'll invest in the greatest capital market in the universe and that is my beloved united states of america Thank you very much If you really wanted to buy the total market and include the small cap exposure you just buy vti Okay, it's that simple. Um, he's also hilarious. I just disagree with his opinion on highly on Well, I obviously disagree with his opinion. You want to know something? That's all right I read through a lot of the comments and He's actually kind of encouraged to see how many people were willing to defend the company I don't think I commented on the channel. I did watch the video I try to support him when I can't I can't watch daily uploads as a subscriber to the channel See that pisses me off Because I know exactly what the content creator is doing. I just think chris is a good guy and I'll support him That's all all fine. Um, but yeah, I can disagree with his opinion but it's not It's not outside of the realm of expectation for chris to come out and cover a company like highly on When it's year over year performance is what down 56? It's been horrendous. Okay. It's a target to be beat on Okay, you expect that it's going to gain favor in the market then highly on needs to change the narrative They need to give us something other than Dare I say double delivering Christmas trees to the new york stock exchange. All right. I just consider pay cuts being yep so interesting point um, this was one of those things that um, you know as my continued due diligence comes up and You know drawing a baseline on this On this company my thesis I don't see why in god's green earth We need to be paying 200 or over 200 employees 100 thousand dollars a year Every bullish shareholder out there that is naively bullish and I I love them to death. Okay. They're my family They're my highly on their family. I get it. They want to see this thing through too but This is a large expense in catbacks and I cover companies that I I just caught an interview today I just dropped of I'm gonna drop the video tomorrow on aduro clean technologies on their r2 reactor and and oh for vikas their ceo said We're working around the clock Is this company working around the clock? No, they don't they don't have to fuck it. They're all making a hundred grand. Shit. It's all good What's their rush? We're not concerned with the stock price right now. I think I've heard thomas healy actually say that one time Yeah, we're not concerned with the stock price no shit interesting You don't care enough to answer a hard question on twitter that silent alert Who is the coolest guy ever in the history of social media? You won't you won't provide him any type of insight. Hey, it just geographically didn't work for agility fine and dandy at least you replied to him, but I've been haven't I had Kenny queen on she's uh Was a frequent A recent guest of the channel and she says, you know what? I don't have time for a company that doesn't have time for me You want to know what company I thought of right away? Highly on holdings think about me For you guys that think i'm like irritated and mad that thomas healy won't come on the independent investor channel and engage with me Which would be born on the the number one interview of thomas healy On youtube number one guaranteed I'm well versed to do it. I articulate. Well, I do a great interview. I do it weekly. Okay Super super important for us to understand that I have history And had Some assurances made to me under the last pr regime that that would happen And for some reason I was just never reached out to and that the the the dire misery of it is that a channel that was provided the opportunity had 50 subscribers 50 You expect me to just take that tongue and cheek. I won't do that. I won't do that I see i'm i'm one of those guys that actually understands right from wrong. Okay And it would have been more right than wrong To offer me that opportunity that you in due faith committed to there was no money involved none none And there was some commitments made and nobody understands that nobody You know understands what what history was there. So have I been jaded since then you bet I have you bet People wonder where my visceral attitude comes from That's where it comes from Right if he doesn't have time for me. I don't have time for them, right? So my short snarky answers that I give through twitter those come from a very very real place When this company that i'm covering right now has had I've already been invited Up to the company in canada Yeah I've known the company now for five weeks It's a 40 million dollar market cap 50 percent of the company owns shares You want to know how much insider selling that they've done over the last 10 years? zero zero So when I get to cross compare these two companies I often come back to each individual company has to be scrutinized on its own merit. I get that But this is a real point of contention for me while stock owners are suffering at the expense of this bullshit Lengthened out time frame that we've been arbitrarily placed on. Okay In direct conflict with initial projections that were made on the onset of the company There's no there's no sense of urgency built into that, right? Hundred fuck it throw throw it throw an extra 25 000 Dollars on top of that salary throw it a hundred and a quarter Let's just give away some shares for free. It's all good. Have these board of directors sit fat ass Physicians with the company right and providing what value we don't know we don't in Thomas. We trust right? Right And again, I think the bullish community would completely disagree with me on this front But I I compare the two companies and I'm finding staunch differences between The ferocity that I like to see in a company ceo Thomas heli, let me do an impression of Thomas heli. I'm about to do it for you right now This is Thomas heli. This is his demeanor on most every interview that I that I that I see him in Everything is funky dory There's no problem. There's huge demand over our product electrification is coming And there's an extreme amount of demand over our product Guys like myself will point out that the stock does not represent the company and the company does not represent the stock Okay But that argument only goes so far And it certainly does have the potential to fall on some level of deaf year When you've ran an investor community through Two years of absolute sewage and I had a few people hit me up when I said that a couple weeks ago And they were like, I don't mind the sewage. It's all good You better man than me Because I I don't see that same rigor I do not see that same enthusiasm. I do not see that same aggressiveness. I do not see that same fight I do it's almost like we're inevitably spiraling towards some bullshit end in this thing And I cannot put my thumb on it. I can't I can't the story has just evolved a little bit here and there where Oh, no, no, we're not going to be integrating with the oem right away We're going to be going through a tier process and oh, we're going to be selling the units one by one through the austin property When was that mentioned? right So if we if we as a highly on community of investors want to Stop the company from being subjected to negative Commentary or coverage chris doesn't care about the company doesn't invest in the company, right? But is it subjected to scrutiny? You be the judge Might help you formulate an opinion about chris and maybe think a little bit about Where the scrutiny should lie in this particular case It can't I can't even go on to yahoo.com anymore the yahoo thread for finances. It's it's it's done. It's broken. It's done It's dead. It's dead. It doesn't exist anymore Got jonathan good doi in the house man. Love the streams man. Love you, too, brother Thank you so much appreciate it whip some ass tonight going a little overtime tonight trying to give chris a little better He's probably thinking dad. Should I hop on man? He's got a young kid and um, I'm quite certain that it has something to do with that obligation for sure He's just being a good dad, um, which I have the utmost respect for what will make it happen again It's all good. He'll hit me up man. We'll do it another time. He'll all go on his channel. It's all good There's no big deal I mean, it's it's not to his benefit to come onto a lion's tank of a bunch of haters that hate the guy, you know I defy you. He's a bad man. He talked down on my stock Maybe you should get some more conviction on your stock. Stop being a bitch Doesn't bother me none. Is he a nickel investor? No, he is not a nickel investor, man He is not Ricky says I watch both channels. Strongman has taught me a couple of nuggets My simple ass can do my own while looking at statements That's true. That's true. Um, I um, I think he he does a really good share of this actually out on his channel And he was doing a lot of that body of work when he was actually uh, covering a lot of the micro caps out there That a lot of the big channels were jumping on and I looked at the financials I thought they were horrendous. They were horrible Um, and I think he's stretching from that same practice to kind of look at highly on because when he got to the cash He was like, okay, that's a lot of cash, you know He knows how to read balance sheets too just as well as as any pride better than most people I'm and and he's really good at it But uh, he got to the cash and he was like, well, they're not going bankrupt anytime soon You know But hey man, it's all fair and love and war highly on can do better and I believe they will It's going to be hard to scrutinize the company when it goes up to, you know, seven eight dollars Then I do believe they're going to dilute. I think they're going to do a big capital raise when this thing Gets a little bit of positive, uh momentum going forward at the seven eight nine dollar range Um, I think they're going to get some momentum Push the stock up 150 or so and I think they're going to do a nice, uh dilution into strength That's what I believe they're going to do To help fund the next round of their business plan the fart gas is such a disingenuant argument Very good, Simon Very well to shade my friend very well to shade it's kind of I it's not really one of my favorite things to talk about That end of a human being because it's really there's really not a whole lot nice about it Unless it's unless it's my wife then it then it's all right What do you drink at the night? Just a little jack and coke man. I'm jack and coke. I'm off. I'm off duty for like Eight hours. I'm contemplating whether or not I should go to work tomorrow I should but I probably won't because I need the r and r and I'm probably gonna take it All right, chris. You son of a bitch man. If you're still watching it's eight Oh nine man, I will go an overtime an extra hour if you come on So now he's probably listening and he's like, all right Ryan just committed an hour to me Okay, this is an hour of my r and r time where I'm on live I got less than half a drink left man. It's all for you chris. God dang it. The wife's got to be home Otherwise, she's out boondoggling on you. All right, and you said you wouldn't play that Okay, so what's it gonna be man? What's it gonna be? Agility relationship is perplexing. That's what I think it is Dave. That's what I think it is I think it's a geographic thing actually as to why they didn't So agility If you read into the history, I believe agility is the largest Logistics and shipping company if not the second largest in the world, okay Where their hubs are Dave? I have no idea. I don't know There's probably a few that will jump on some due diligence, but the closest The hitting on this topic was Excalibur who talked about It was kind of a theory, but it made total sense. I thought it was awesome one of the coolest And this is really I was like dang that that's a really insightful thing I never would have thought about it. I know how my brain works, but I never would have thought of Extrapolating why they're doing the white glove service and the way that they are And it has a lot to do with where the hubs are located. It has a lot to do with the dallas facility Dallas yes, not not austin, but dallas, texas being a huge hub for the trucking community But it probably has something to do with strategic Geographic location that that's my premonition Agility made a post about the christmas tree last week and said a company agility is invested in It's no doubt about it. They've no doubt about it. They've been there since the beginning. There's no There's no incentive for companies to jump on board right now I just walked you through my process not you but the grander audience through my process of Identifying why I think we're in the ice age right now I don't I don't think a lot's going to change in the next Following through on q4. We're going to get another 500 000 of revenue Okay, so I'll just let you in on that the quarter after that q1 of 2023. We're going to get another I think we'll probably increase and we'll beat to the upside I think we'll get a little bit more than 500 000 or the hell it's going to come from I have no idea q3 and four Now we're getting interesting q2 q3 q4 2023 going into 2024 That's going to be the maker break maker break. We are going to know whether or not We're sitting on a gold mine or we're sitting on an absolute freaking dud That's my expectation and I'll be in the pocket enough to make sure that that's what it is that we do Okay, they seem to have that relationship, but no orders or trials Therein lies the root of the question What gives What gives uh, and I would love to just trust highly on but I don't They haven't earned it. They've lost it. Uh, they had it on the onset They've lost it because they have not been able to follow through with promises made The bullish community would disagree with me on that. They would say, all right, this is a progress. I'm absolutely Shut the fuck up Stop being such a pussy and just agree with me. Okay, or at least try to look at what I'm what I'm looking at The original data that was that was released is a far cry from what we have now Now you could you could argue that there's an equal amount of things that were not projected on the onset That have come to fruition now to shea. I get it. I totally agree with that sentiment. All right There's a lot to be excited now. I'm still an investor in the company I totally get it But as far as highly on saying that they can meet an expectation The only thing that I trust with highly on right now is that they say that they're going to take one step forward And then another step forward That's all I trust that they can do because those are the baby steps that I feel like they're capable of making large milestones and sales projections Really It's taken them two and a half years to garner 2,000 reservations and 200 orders over this time 200 orders is 20 million dollars of revenue split it up per quarter. You're talking about five Million dollars. Okay. Now for me, that's 10x off of their current revenue. Okay. Good thing, right? Five million dollars a quarter five million dollars a quarter Does not let's see look at what their payroll is per quarter and you tell me if it's enough What's their payroll? I don't know they're burning 32 million dollars a quarter Five and five million five million dollars. That's going to cover one seventh Of their capex per quarter In the orders that it's taken them to garner for two and a half years with me. Yes nod your head like this Yes, Ryan. We're with you. We're with you. It sucks. It totally sucks. We're in a dark period That's why it is subject to scrutiny now my friends.
