 There's an awful lot in this life to be thankful for I'm absolutely thankful for you guys thankful for a lot of things here in 2021 moving into the holiday season Thanksgiving happy Thanksgiving to each and every one of you guys Coming in the next week. It's been a What really wild year it's gone fast for me. That's for sure We put down on this product every Friday at 9 o'clock eastern standard time for anybody that's going to be joining Or anybody who joins from the international perspective this Goes around in the next 48 hours and I do want a foot stomp and earmark my international community This is a project that I'm I'm very steadfast on I think there's so many people out there that can I can benefit from hearing my perspective and You don't necessarily need to buy into my total perspective You know, I've got a few dollars in Bitcoin Okay These things that I would have despised three years ago and a lot of people are like and Ryan What are you doing? You know, this isn't right for you. Therefore. It's not right for everybody else. I Spend very very little of my time focused in on what other people are doing with their program It's a matter of fact what I do pay attention to Really does separate the way that I approach money the way I think about money down to its physical physical presence And and even what it could actually mean as it takes on different forms And this is one of my most favorite videos that I've ever done in the in the history of the channel for you guys Probably not a lot of you guys. I don't know we're with me five years ago But some of the older legacy content that I've done on the channel This was one of my favorites where I talked about a hundred dollar bill And I talked about the physical sense of money and how people look at that In different ways, they look at it As the physical form of money or they look at it as the multiple forms that that buying power could take on And I think it's really beneficial for a lot of folks to understand how to approach money in this in this manner and Not to be afraid to talk about the money topic I I think it's odd how we we shy away from the money topic But we do want to focus on not retiring with enough And and not having enough to do things with our families And not having enough to Satisfy an unpredicted or an unscheduled medical bill Or or an emergency That has come up where you need to draw upon Certain funds and and most households out there. They don't have those Okay, statistics back me up on this and and I for the life of me Have I've always done this project to combat what I feel is the status quo with money And that is I think Most people out there would desire to have more money The idea is that a lot of people Say that and they say it with frequency But they don't know how to pursue that end and and they remain in a habitual state of Of of habit forming behavior that doesn't get them ahead And I don't know if it's just people's inability to self-assess Change I think if there's anything that you guys could ever do going into 2022 here Is to identify one thing That you can just Break away from the norm this year I stopped drinking coffee weirdest thing Like why why? you know Why do I have to drink coffee just because everybody else does in the morning and I thought well, man I tried to stop and I'd get that really bad headache, but it's like Is that the reason to keep doing it? It's the social experiment, right? Everybody's got to show up to coffee They think you're weird if you don't show up to work with coffee and it really is my really my my my new Renowned or or or really interesting way of Identifying with those things that allow you to break away from the crowd To think differently, right To hold on to a stock holding When everybody else is running for the the hills, okay? Do things independently Do things because they make sense to you Don't do things because they make sense to me or any other influence that you can get out there And they are rampant and they can play into people's inability To display a little bit of patience in this life to get ahead But the more you can kind of understand and and maybe even talk about money for you guys that are Frequent visitors to the independent investor channel at least once every Friday on the live stream. It's great It speaks to your devotion to stare the money topic down right in its face And say, you know what I I get this I actually want to tackle the money topic So ironically, I don't have to think so much about money Into the future Now what we want to do is we want to take that physical Hundred dollar bill and we want to break it up And put it into as many strategic buckets as we possibly can The one that we talk about the most often is to break that into The the mid cap and the large cap s and p 500 It's the most beautiful way of segwaying your hard-earned physical dollars into that I'm going to put capital to risk bucket Most important But mind you it's only one bucket And that's why I find it interesting when You know people have a problem with a certain speculative position that I may take They may have a problem with or disagree with my entering some money into Ethereum or bitcoin or cardano or maybe maybe even some shibu inu And take take a little strategic shot here I mean within the last 10 10 10 hours It's been the best performing Thing in my portfolio. I don't even well some people call it a stock. I find that interesting It's a lottery ticket at best But evidently the shiba inu Share count is actually being burned in a virtual world. I find that funny. I just kind of laugh and you know It's gone up about 200 dollars in value in the last few hours and I just kind of sit back and laugh a little bit It's just one of many strategic forms of money that I have Uh in in my application Now now some of my physical investments that I may have They may come in the form of gold. They may come in the form of arms the firearms ammunition whatever that may be Art you know Things that are vintage. I have collectibles like sports cards You know shot out to jason j mac investing has done a good job. He's traveling around Doing his trade shows and I think it's pretty awesome actually. I'm I told him man. I'm watching his Sports card channel more than his regular investing channel anymore feel kind of bad about it But I don't watch a lot of investing channels Because I'm I'm spending most of my time Making sense of my own program and I think for you guys that kind of Really adopt that philosophy and you know take a few pages out of my playbook I'm going to talk about a really distinct comparison And I think all too often people validate their program by looking at others I and I I don't understand that Um, I don't envy others Um, I you could come up to me and you could have 10 million bucks And I wouldn't treat you any different than if you were somebody on the street that had no money And and and that's the god's honest truth. It really is I I don't see That in people. I don't put people on a pedestal Because everybody else out there says that I should think that you're special I don't think that Um, I actually go back and foot stomp that the most special of people That that are that are walking this earth whether here in the united states or abroad Are people that you've never heard of Beautiful beautiful people with a lot to offer To start themselves and then potentially the world Whether or not they realize that potential or not Maybe they can come on to the independent investor channel and with regard to the financial slice in your life Pick up a touch of motivation that you can put to work for yourself And I think it's the most important piece When you're talking about Revolving around this topic of money So you don't have to talk about money. You can focus on those things Especially as you evolve and especially as you get older in life And you want to see things you want to go and you want to You know make some of those expenditures on experiences because Life is about experiences And if you get fixated On the physical sense of that dollar when you're holding it into your hand in your hands You can honestly lose a lot of track of turning Those physical dollars into experiences into wealth that can make those Experiences happen into wealth that can make the actual Security later on in your life a reality and not a shock Maybe even a potential to help somebody else in need If if indeed you have that opportunity To follow through with that and and use your dollars in a form That that that is different just in the physical sense of the money And so I think that's going to be the topic of conversation as we deliver it deliberate Tonight around How it is that you can you can best look at money How I look at money How I deploy my strategies daily in in whatever capacity I think you guys are going to find this very very enlightening Hopefully you can take some hopefully maybe even you can sit back and and Take some of these and put them to good use for yourself What I don't want you to see is sit back and say man, this guy's really really he's off He's really really different because if you do make that assessment, I'm going to agree with you I'm very very different in my application. Okay What's right for me in the stock game is going to come be completely different than somebody else and I've got a very very interesting perspective in how I look at my wealth building opportunity How I look at life How I look at how important hard-earned dollars are But but equally as as important as to take those dollars and leverage them forward To to to work while I'm continuing to work Okay, and to expand that base of forms of money That way, you know These over here may go stagnant for a while or a few of them may actually go down But I've got different strategies with with each of those buckets that I'm asking to perform In a different matter over my life and at some point down the line I'm going to say look man. I did it hard I made the best decisions that I possibly could Um, I was deliberate, but I wasn't careful I put risk on the table And and I think at the end of the day, man You're not going to get anywhere unless you're willing to put some risk on the table I think for each and every one of you guys identifying in what capacity You want to put that risk on the table is really the importance in carving out your place in the independent investor community And considering and deeming yourself an empowered investor. So welcome to the independent It's been a drag in 2021 I guess from from one perspective to another If I was going to just impart to you how I feel In 2021 it's been it's been rough You know, I go through a week and I come on and I'm like a broken out of the funk and the funk returns but It's it's never as bad as you think that it is And and it's all too often not as good as you think it is I think that's the human's ability to become impatient on a program and Start to draw up scenarios that that kind of Substantiate a narrative for yourself Perhaps if things aren't kind of going, you know good. Are you a good investor? You know, are you moving too far away from your plan? You know, what's going on with highly on every day? It's down every single day. It was down five days this week It's pretty brutal Took a took a hit in the portfolio this week in the tune of about 10,000 So we're going to go through the portfolio review kind of declare where we're at. It's it's just been kind of a bummer 94,000 the irony in this to give you some perspective is what really is the difference between 104,000 And 94,000 some are you going to be like 10 grand ran? That's crazy. That's insanity. Think about all the cool things you could do with 10,000 bucks If you want to know my honest opinion about it when you when you start to manage wealth that I've worked so hard to build over my life You start to change your perspective a little bit and you look at dollars differently where I used to look at $10,000 as an unachievable milestone. I've met it many many times over again In my life with with with a working-class salary Uh, this is something that uh, anybody can can look at and say gosh, you know, ryan's right I I haven't got to my first 10,000. He's talking about 10,000s Um, the the way he used to the way he talks about hundreds of thousands of dollars now And I have multiple accounts that are approaching that $100,000 mark But I think a lot of people would look at this and maybe just shit their pants. They'd fall off tilt and they're like god dang I'm I'm down 10 grand. I'm out of the market I I that that level of thinking just does not even enter into my realm of capacity That is how steadfast I am in my program and let me tell you why The risk tolerance that's necessary to hold an amazon and a google Which have actually carried weight this week have just been absolutely fabulous Thursday amazon went up a hundred and a half per share. Wonderful I've got both these great holdings right steadily in the black Um amazon was coming off of a miss quarter google blew out the numbers But i'm just happy to own these positions 3m and at&t bowing a lock yeet in the industrial space Have just been real dogs value has really come off You'll see that in the m1 value portfolio Does it mean that I shit my pants and I fall on tilt and I sell everything? Of course not it just means that we can nicely revolve around this topic Talk about what's going on and and value kind of took a back seat this week It just is what it is. Um now halion's off 11 percent Week over week here. I I really want people if there's halion fans in the um in the group here Take a page out of my playbook because i'm just about ready to shut the door on the yaku thread I I I I don't get that at all. I just don't get it there. There's a bunch of amateurs in there There's amateurs in there that think they're really really smart And they come on and they write really really long threads in there Thinking that they're persuading people I guess or they're just really really bored, which I'm not in either case I don't have time to sit there and try to prove somebody wrong That that has a problem with a post that I made I'm pretty rude in there I really am I just don't have a lot of patience for moronic activity. I don't and the yaku thread I do chalk up as moronic activity Um, it's somewhat of a sick entertainment for me to go on there And have people tell me that I should sell my stock because the stock has dropped from 57 to 7 Like that's some sort of rationale As to why I should just again ship my pants fall and tilt and sell my stock I just don't understand why people are so interested in what other people are doing with their money again I I I am not I I don't care what you're doing with your money. I I'm focused on on mine my conviction My my layered approach to this and if you had any idea at all in how much Is baked into this highly on position that I have There's a lot of house money There's a lot of money that I've saved up over time To to to make this investment over time and we just so happen to be down in the name That's it. It's okay. I'm still a very very happy man I get off on a lot of things that I do in life that have absolutely nothing To do with the stock market You'll be proud. I was up at 0500 every single day this week And I was in the gym sweating to the oldies making myself healthy You know, I think I look pretty good for a 44 year old at least last I checked i'm 44 years old Which isn't too shabby, you know, but those are the types of things that um are worthwhile It's not worthwhile trying to substantiate my position now Um, I texted Lewis tonight. He responded to me told me what's going on Piece of cake You want to lose your ass ask yourself? I mean is vanguard Shit in their pants and falling on tilt and selling out of the name because everybody says that it's going to zero Um with with the cash multiple on the books cash and equivalence highly on is worth about four dollars and 90 cents From the best I can tell very good post to my last video that I put in there so you're basically paying a couple dollars for the technology at this point and You know, you you need to ask yourself If if if it's not attractive now It never will be and that's totally okay, but you know get off my back. I'm fine I'm good If you're looking at me for justification and the stock pops back up to 12 14 16 18 bucks You're going to sell the stock anyway That which is not my intention my intention is to hold this ultra ultra long Because my conviction on the company is very very simple I believe that they've got the solution where fleets get to keep their trucks If I can put it in the simplest of forms fleets Get to keep their trucks. It's a segue to r and g It's a segue to supplement their existing diesel if that's what they want to do And it's a segue to keep their existing are c and g trucks To add additional horsepower to provide fuel savings on the diesel side And on the erx side for those fleets that want to be a little bit more aggressive Look at the innovation council Look where debt mar logistics was named named highly on specifically as being the main contributor to them being number eight on the list Anheuser bush was ahead of him. But debt mar is a private company. Yeah Yeah, pretty exciting stuff a few saw some a few posts come through this week That showed the hybrid unit in the fleet with debt mar and they were dirty And I loved it now that type of stuff excited me So look at it from my perspective man. I've got the yahoo thread telling me what I should do with my money I had to I just chuckle a little bit at that You know, or they're trying to sell somebody on some idea that they have some grand epiphany That that thomas healy needs to wipe his ass in a certain fashion and because he doesn't wipe it in the fashion that they say that He needs to that that's justification to sell the stock I'm like sell the stock man. If that's your thesis sell it sell it. No problem. I mean, I still like you It's no big deal sell the stock buy the stock I I don't care what you do It has nothing to do with my feeling toward you or or the stock or or thomas healy or or highly on or the world in general Okay, have a little perspective about this thing But owning each and every one of these assets takes a little bit different discipline to apply to each of the individual holdings VTI a monkey could invest in vti A monkey you buy it you hold it you fund it you enjoy it. That's it very very simple Here's raffae array number one with some of the holdings to focus in on some healthcare disney, uh, but the the oil In chevron here jp morgan and the major bank category microsoft, of course Huge staple here in pepsi very nice voo another monkey holding Vbk a little less monkey holding but all the same idea v and q Which is the real estate reed within the raffae array just fits nicely So if I went up it went up and it stayed up for one day And then got whacked back down again Again, I'm just I'm kind of looking at it and I must be tough at this point because I can look at it and be like All right, it's like those shallow in monks You know they get kicked in the nuts over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over And again, and they're just like they're just like this Like yeah kick me in the nuts again It's pretty crazy because if you kick me in the nuts once i'm going down But it's honestly how I feel 2021 has just been a a big swift kick right between the legs It's been absolutely fabulous uh, verizon uh visa visa's been tough And verizon hasn't moved for five years Um walmart and nobody gives any crap for that everybody's like, you know value investing It's the way to go. It's a good way to put money to sleep for a long time You want to go for compounding and capital appreciation just invest in The etf like voo, right? You're going to get that compounding growth over time with the with the you know 10 to 11 or so it's just been on fire So let's safely and conservatively say 8 to 10 percent because I know at some point this sucker is going to roll off But you know, that's the time you look at it and it's like, okay, the markets rolled off I just by march really simple really really simple But but value is tough man value can really remain in a trough for a long long time And I don't care who you are if if you get lucky and you're like, um, I saw joe carlson He's talking about home depot, you know outpacing the the technology stocks You get lucky sometimes man That has nothing to do with your personal ability to pick stocks nothing nothing You want to you want to buy buy value buy it the way I buy it in the account that I'm about to declare to you And just buy a bunch of quality names And and own them all And and don't try to stockpick the market man. It's a futile way to go about it for most people. All right Here's roth 2 in the house. Um, this is mine Triple q's are still doing well exxon mobiles come off facebook doing doing quite well And uh, you know the vpu vig. I love that a dividend depreciation fund. What a great fund Absolutely fantastic. And then we got a little pocket. They're highly on green If it ever does turn to the green, we're going to be in the money. We're going to be sitting fat Just again sitting at that all-time low here 675 is the low. Is it going to break it? I don't know. I don't really care It doesn't really change where I think the stock is going to be in five years So again, I'd rather just, you know Not fall on tilt and and and be subject to the yahu The yahu crazies that are that are telling everybody what they think that they you should do with your money Um, I I I responded to one today and I was like you spend a lot of time here. Do you even own the stock? honestly, I Jesus, I don't I don't go in other threads that I don't own Um, I don't go in there for like general discussion You know, I mean I'll go sleep with my wife if I want to go have fun You know, I'm not in the yahu thread. I'm sorry. I'll go buy go buy my own damn stock I'll go to the gym pump some freaking iron. You know, I I'll kick some ass I'll have a drink or you know, do something fun with my time I don't go in there and and and mingle with people probably the introverted nature of of who I am Most people I can't stand anyway, so no big deal. Most people do not Impress me at all and that's a good place for it. Go into the yahu thread. It's a lot of fun Bagging on the yahu thread tonight. No doubt about it. It's about it's about on par in my opinion to a toilet bowl dirty That's about what I feel about it. Mm-hmm. Yeah So here's the dividend portfolio just shy of 19. Oh, excuse me. That's the the passive The sector portfolio that we've got 19,000 nice, man Whatever it's slowly growing I remember when I started this Started it with 1500 and look at us now, man. We look at this and it's flirting with 20 grand I've done nothing to this except for fund it $50 every two weeks Maybe every week. I can't remember. I don't even know anymore I've got funds. I got funds dispersing to each of these buckets Very very aggressively every single month every single month. They're going in here A lot of money. I'm serious about my program. We'll talk a little bit about what it takes to be as serious and everybody can do it Everybody can everybody can be a little bit more serious about their money. Okay. Come on guys Be with me here. You don't need to blindly follow me. You've got it in inside you you really do People usually have an internal flame or they want a little bit more in life Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Just got to tap into that a little bit. That's right Here's the dividend portfolio 26 271. So this is cool. I've started I put a thousand dollar bill Into a bond portfolio here Just to start some of that fixed income. Why not it's another form of money. Why not? It's in line with my Thesis about how important it is to segue into different forms of money people are going to be like you suck Ryan bond suck I'll be like, yeah, they do they suck they suck. I don't care, but it's another form of money Yeah, it's a stable form of money And who am I to say that bonds aren't going to Come into favor here over the next 10 or so years as I get older into my 50s I'd like to have a nice chunk of bonds and I'm talking a quarter million dollars in bonds A nice bond portfolio would serve me just fine to have some fixed income coming in Yeah, I'll take that I'll take that action. I'm good to go. All right. Why? Because I can and you can too Okay Just as many strategic buckets as I can possibly you might not agree with all of them You know, I don't agree with shiba inu. Great. No problem. Don't do it. It's okay. It's just a bucket It's all right Like I said over the last couple hours. I've made 250 bucks. I could probably check it right now and I'm up another 100 You know, what other opportunity do you have to make that kind of exponential money? I don't know That you answer that for me If you want to just continue to save to your savings account Great, but that is just one avenue one Amongst many that you could exploit for your financial security into your future. Okay Thrift savings plan is up. This is one of the few that's up week over week. This is chugging right along 62,000 fantastic What a great initiative this was when I started this Back in 2011 and 10 years later. Look at that just without missing a beat We've got a $60,000 bill in here approaching that next threshold with which is a hundred grand Six-figure account in less than 15 years. Not too shabby Not too shabby at all. All right, robin hoods up a little bit. This is the the vanguard's growth Obviously amazon and google would have helped push this up this week. They did quite well Weeble with the mid cap offering here down just a touch a couple bucks here nothing nothing too crazy Schwab we put the position in swiss f. Okay That's glowbacks data. Um, so we've got 10 000 shares of it. So not the entire amount Invested in that we've got a little bit of pay dirt. They're just sitting on the side. No big deal I'll put it to work strategically if I if I deem that necessary, but uh, that's what we've got in the Schwab account I really like the Schwab platform. It's a good one So for you guys that I I was trying to I did this for you guys like I don't care I don't need all these brokers, but I did it for fun. Why not establish a strategic bucket? This is an aggressive growth type of bucket I wanted to pick up swiss f and you can't do it on a lot of platforms. You can't do it on robin hood I can't do it on mine without calling them and begging them Uh to put me in the name charles Schwab no problem bingo bingo bongo man You got the funds in there. It takes a couple days to clear out and there you go I was off and running and I got to invest in the capacity that I wanted to Which was kind of cool. Mm-hmm And and we both I like a lot. So I'm just kind of checking out these platforms get back to you guys. They're interesting Um to each his own In the aesthetics that you choose in your brokerage account, but uh, it's kind of why I'm doing this anyway There's the crypto went back into bitcoin 36 percent in bitcoin ethereum 18 cardano 6 percent And the shiba, you know There with a little dab Very very small incremental dab So, you know, you guys can be like you ryan. You're a bad guy you you invest in shiba. How dare you how dare you ryan? How dare you take such funds? And put in it the the cool thing about this is man, and I put out a video on this I trust capital has done away with their 30 dollar a month a month maintenance fee. It's now free It's now free to invest in cryptocurrency Um of their liking. I think they've got about 20 or so on the platform But you can invest in these In attack sheltered account Not a lot of opportunity to do that out there It's kind of cool that they've done away with that 30 dollar fee Which I felt was a little steep. I did but kind of a cool opportunity So what's the difference between this week and last week a few bucks? You know, it is the five still in front of it. Could it go to four? Could it go to six? Yeah, I mean Look at it this way a bunch of people came into the thread tonight and I was throwing wrenches at them Why because I want a lot of builders out there with their mentality We're building wealth and I'm here to impart to you. There's no way There's no way on this god's green earth man that I Should have that kind of wealth with the amount of household income that I've brought in over the last 16 years of my career. No effing way. No effing way Take take my word for it. A lot of people would look at it and be like, ah, ryan, you the independent fellow You're a big super duper hooper star No, no, it's not I've made 20 grand on the independence investor channel and ad revenue since I started 20 grand If you want to ask me if it's been worth it hell, no Hell, no Hell, no for the people that I love through the community. I love them. I love some of these folks that are part of this community I love it even more when they can come in and hear something from me that they can pay forward In their own application and find some success some success at that's fabulous. That's absolutely fabulous but No, it's it's just been by nature of sheer will A determination a mental mindset of focusing in on this topic Um to to the extent I enjoy it. I really do. I enjoy it. I wouldn't do it if I didn't enjoy it Uh, and the results do render when you're a very very good painter You eventually should be able to render the benefits of being a very good painter when you're a musician When you're a carpenter when you're an electrician when you get really really good at something in life And you do it really really good and I'm talking about like Gritty intimate like I'm talking like damn with all your love and all your power And and all your love you got to punch and you got to punch until you can't punch no more Right. That's what I'm talking about. That was rocky for for you. Yeah It was rocky for I knew you guys knew that but Anyway, I digress man. It is a number Okay And and again with all of the word in the yahoo thread of people coming in there and they're just holy Shit, it's down another 17 cents Ryan. This is a little horrible Thomas Healy needs to go to hell. No, he doesn't he doesn't and and and really who who are you? Okay vanguard black rock bank of america Morgan stanley goldman sacks They all own millions of shares in this company. They're fine. Okay, they're fine The only people who seemingly are not fine right now Are the retail investors who are choosing to come in and absolutely bitch their head off And think it's going to make the first effin bit of difference and it's not it's just not Proper 19 backs me up on this. He says hell. Yeah, Ryan. That's it man. Hell. Yeah, hell. Yeah He liked that rocky for analogy, man. Oh your power all your love you gotta punch and punch so you can't punch no more Yeah, it's so good, man But uh, yeah, anyway, I'm at the bottom of the thread here. I'm going through some comments and even buying NFTs Fantastic Some nice features and sales see us cool. You guys are talking amongst yourself If you get tired of me ranting on cheers ryan great mess. I'd appreciate you david. Thanks for stopping in Absolutely. I try to provide a little bit of motivation a little bit of a mindset That'll help make some sense out of this deal I don't think it's as difficult as people but it is a it is a mental conditioning a bit You know, it really is You got to put some deliberate thought into it I I think if you game plan a little bit On on how it is that you can expect injects to come into your life And and plan for those injects accordingly Then if you start to think about that gosh ryan mentioned an emergency fund Maybe that makes a little bit of sense for us honey. What do you think about that? Yeah, I think that makes sense, right? How much do we have in the emergency fund, honey? Well, we have 82 dollars, honey Maybe we can bump up on that little idea a little bit and say maybe we can anticipate not floating through life on a magic carpet our entire life and maybe Being subject highly unlikely But maybe being subject to a little bit of bad luck a little bit and maybe we can prepare now To account for said bad luck, right? Um, I don't know. Um, I've heard people talk about this investing thing Maybe we should look into putting a little bit of capital to risk I don't know. I talked to my neighbor and and they said that the last time they invested That they had like 1500 dollars in there and the market went down And they panicked and they pulled everything out of the market before they lost it all So, you know If it makes sense for you to start to question some of your applications by all means that's the whole key Is when we're looking to kind of challenge a little bit here We work up the gig here try to pick a few of these comments I got the guy with the viper in the house and jamie. It's great to see you my friend Great to see you my friend. It's cold as hell up here in virginia, man I'm sure it's still like 80 down there in florida. You're lucky bastard Yeah, lucky bastard. He's like, dude, did he just say that man on a live stream? Yeah, he did. I'm kind of crazy. This is a great move to scope of some of these coins Oh god, you're talking about cryptocurrency. Holy moly. Who the hell would even ever invest in that? I trust his description if you want to look it up. Sure. Yeah, so I do share in the description Um, I haven't figured out how to get paid the affiliate. I guess I am affiliated with them But I don't know if anybody signed up yet. No big deal. I did. I like them. I signed up and That was a chronicle that wasn't to shibu inu video I secretly put those little things out there to introduce a platform that I actually use And for those that don't want to invest in coinbase and and some of the other offerings They want to put maybe some bitcoin ethereum cardano some of the more established Coins in place and they don't want to go through grayscale. Just make a grayscale Look at grayscale. Look at the breakdown of bitcoin ethereum and cardano Just build your own put it in a tax deferred account and and you're off and running You don't have to be subject to the high expense of grayscale. Mm-hmm. Yep. Just an idea Yeah, it's good stuff, man Michael says jamie. Thank you. Jamie's a good guy for sure. If I trust does pure bonds. I need to take a look at it Yeah, it doesn't it's crypto and and uh and precious metal. That's it. I'm not I'm not interested in the crypto or excuse me the Precious metal element at all to be honest with you It's really just the top end crypto. That's all and and I you wouldn't be eligible I don't think map with the income anyway. So, you know to each his own for for what makes sense You know a grayscale makes sense for you, right? You succumb your money to a little bit of expense which gets internally Consumed you don't see that right they consume that within the bond and you live to fight another day Mm-hmm. Just own it in a taxable account. It works fine. Mm-hmm. Good stuff He uses I trust well, he uses it. Yep. Still feeling it out I've been with him for now two three months. Anyway, what platform to use. Yep. That's I trust is what I use It's good. I like them. They're really nice Uh 12 dollars prized overweight rating Are you guys talking about highly on I like my price target 24 It's as if we're going to enter into 2022 and and not report revenue, right? 359,000 of accounts receivable Triple the accounts receivable what what I consider to be hybrid sales, which will hit the books If they can throw a couple of erx actual finalized letters of intent to purchase on that that would be great, but if we're Uh, assuming that highly on is going to enter into 2022 and not add more reservations to An established precedence of going on what 1500 and 90 Reservations thus far and Those think tanks and the yahoo thread they're like that means nothing Okay, it means nothing asshole. Get out of my face. You freaking idiots, you know Uh mona mona has hybrid units in their fleet. They're using it. They're an established customer Those relationships that exist with them and their customers. You you can't make that up. Okay. It's more than nothing. Okay Um, perhaps i'm wrong Ryan you're wrong. You're putting too much merit in that Fair enough. I'm prepared to be wrong, but I I think it's really really Short-sighted to consider it to be a non issue when I think it's a little bit more than a non issue But going into 2022 I think they're going to continue to build out this reservation reservation order back If there's a silver lining in this whole thing They can't do mass orders right now anyway. So what's the damn difference? Who cares? What if agility came back and said hey highly on we want to go ahead and follow through with 500 Of our thousand reservation orders could highly on a bludge the answer is no The supply chain shortage is is what's going on right now, which is outside of their control I posed the scary question could they meet the order if they came and said we want 10? The answer is no the answer is no Their hands are tied behind their back right now. There's nothing else they can do. It's that simple Have a little diplomacy about this deal and stop being such a bitch all the time, you know Jesus grow a sack for crying out loud Be tough retail investors are the very people that I advocate for and I'm the toughest on There's no doubt about it because holy shit. You bring it on yourself Toughen up a little bit stop being such a crybaby Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm Got new coverage in the price. I was cantor I believe I saw that actually yeah 12. That's the one you're talking about I I I saw that um that that's right. I mean the the uh Cash to cash equivalence right now puts a value at about five dollars So you're talking about paying a couple bucks here for the technology the patents That prove an order book. Yes, the board that's taking scrutiny right now the management team the whole kitten caboodle Um, if you want to go buy tesla go ahead You may make a shit ton of money and I'll be all about it for you I will I will have a drink with you and celebrate you see how there's there's no like animosity It's okay. If you want to go do that. It's okay It's not in my wheelie house. Okay. I've already justified through my conviction what it is that I do I'm totally fine with it. I think cantors right on the money 12. I think that's conservative I think that's a easy call to make over the next 12 months. I think by nature drift The stock could be there. No doubt about it. I like the independent investor channel's price target 24 dollars Let's have a little fun with this bitch These sub par analysts can throw out any number that they want and they have motive behind it How about if I just come out and have a little bit of fun myself based on my due diligence and where I think the company's gonna go We'll see we'll see where it goes. I could be wrong. Um, I could Could you imagine if I was right? Hmm You mean stocks do go up sometimes? No, no not in this case ryan. It's impossible.

Um, is it going to zero? Yeah, I don't really invest that way to be honest with you I don't really invest that way Yeah, I don't see the company not having a little conviction whether or not it happens next year in three years or five years of 10 years Really irrelevant to me. Um, it will happen. It's inevitable Mm-hmm Look at that the chips Yeah, it's been nasty ARM machine learning and don't speak of Nvidia. You're missing out. No doubt. It's the best in breed I love Nvidia great company. I've made great money with Nvidia. I currently don't own it right here Um, that's why the aggressive growth that I declared to you guys Um Is is going to be built out with some of those names. Uh, some of the invidias of the world Um, some of the high conviction at cloud plays. I see your CRM fits that bill Crowdstrike fits that bill Adobe systems. I love but I don't own right here Yeah, lots of really good names that I can fill out that portfolio with From an aggressive portfolio from an aggressive profile. I set my trap at five.

No big deal long calls 2024s Mm-hmm. Yeah, a lot of fun. I love investing. It's a lot of fun Yahoo is never a solid information source for me. Oh, it's the threat is garbage There's a few really good people in there. I don't I want to be fair. It's not I'm you know, my my venom tongue only works when I'm talking over the independent investor channel But I I'm not going to sit there and type some scroll For for some asshole that disagrees with me if I could disagree. I don't give a shit Sell the stock buy the stock. I don't care. Donate it to a charity. I don't care I I don't care. I don't care what you have to say to me I don't care if you have a problem with what I say. It's no problem Yeah, just stop being a bitch and get out of my face. It's all good That's what I'm talking about Thanks for the confidence all seven figures nothing compared to elan's 12. Uh, come on man It's all relative to be honest with you Um, I think when you look and this is why I say I don't put people on a pedestal Um, I don't know how happy of a man. He is I don't know I I know how happy of a man. I am And um, I gravitate to those people man that um, Yeah, they they've got some real things to be happy about and a lot of it doesn't have to do with with that type of stuff Mm-hmm. I I get off The renderings is the money. Okay. Um, I get off on the business I I get off on the building of things Right and there's a lot of things that we as a group here, right the rich gang have to build Um, and it has a lot to do with real estate. It's real simple. I mean, that's just the key to success It's not this it's not. Um, it's not entertaining people in a yahoo thread. That's for damn sure Um, and and it's not even really in the capacity of anything that I see on social media That I could prescribe to long term. I don't I love this I could do the live stream for the next 20 years. I could do it until I died It's a lot of fun a lot of fun this content. They'll be online For the rest of of my life and when I'm gone It'll it'll remain on online. It's kind of cool, you know But there's a lot about being online too much that I don't like at all But uh, yeah, the best is yet to come Got to build that stuff up for sure Ryan Lamb says Gives a ticker symbol recommendation there. Yeah, I'll have to look into that Yeah, I've heard some people talking about it the yahoo thread Fantastic. Maybe I should go go buy a little bit. Maybe 25 shares or so if it goes down Ryan lamb I'm coming after you. All right. If I buy 25 shares and it goes down like 17 cents I am coming after you. All right Very cool stuff Let me give a quick five minutes. I want to go through this because I I really did I had this idea and I was going to try to separate I look at money as a tool. I really do get that comment off there Look at money as a tool when money comes in I'm always looking where I can deploy that money And I think a lot of people look at You know the time that they spend to acquire money so that they can spend the money that that's really the vicious cycle Okay, and my my thing is always Where's the inflow coming and then what more importantly can we do to to maximize Or prolong the staying power of those dollars going forward. All right People like me justify stock. We don't justify spending That's very very important. Okay. We substantiate we validate Right, we go through the due diligence to really gain that conviction that I speak about Where a lot of people I think they justify Things it makes them happy in the short term. They buy things shit They buy that shit because buy it buy it. I feel good. I don't feel good anymore. I gotta go buy some more shit Right. You buy it and buy it and buy it and I gotta feel good all the time and I buy that I don't have any money, but it's all right because I feel good Right, you'd be kind of careful with that I'm focused we're gonna be very very focused when you're looking to Apply a money discipline that works. I talked a little bit about during the live stream Um, I spend a lot of time thinking about money and I don't shy away from it. Okay. I don't I don't bitch out Okay, I talk about money. I put it right in your freaking face And I don't care. I have family members that are like, hey, we can't share don't share that Don't share that with right. I I don't want to know what you make. I don't know what's your mind I'm like, how much do you make? I don't I don't care. I don't care. You could tell me that you make I had a hundred thousand dollars a month and it wouldn't faze me. It's no problem. Great. Good for you. That's awesome What do you do? I mean, are you stressed out? I mean the exercise? I mean, are you whore? I don't know You know, that that's pretty good dollars a hundred thousand dollars. I'll just be curious, you know um Mentally prepared For those injects I talked about a little bit where I think a lot of people are potentially ill prepared to Just sit down and think about what are some of the force Forseeable outcomes into your future. Are you going to get old? I don't know. Maybe a lot of you don't think about that stuff. Maybe you are going to get old What are some of those things that you can do in in preparation of that? Inevitable event and I think there's a lot in life that are inevitable. That's why I consider and chalk up investing To be an absolute necessity In your life and I think where a lot of people will justify a lot of different things out there Contrary to separating yourself from your money That's where you start to get into trouble I think I deliberate when I spend I deliberate when I buy and I deliberate when I sell Okay, whereas on the stock side of the house, especially there's impulse spending There's impulse buying and there's impulse selling. That's what in the yahoo thread. A lot of people are playing off of as people's emotional They're investing with emotion because they don't know any different doesn't mean they're bad people It doesn't mean they don't know any different to be like man. Maybe there's a different Strategy or method that I should deploy that I know is going to work because this doesn't feel right Like this just doesn't feel right this it just it doesn't feel right and all these people are telling me that I shouldn't feel Right about And then gone it's gone impulse. Okay, I got to do away with the impulse chill out take my advice. Stop being a bitch. Okay The use of credit and cash Different applications about what makes to you sense to you in throttling down on the spending Strategic ways of spending if I spend on credit What's the difference a lot of people who are into this like Physical nature of money. They just got to touch it and they got to feel it and I can look at me Look at me. Look at me. I can do this It's it's paper, but I can do this. Isn't this great I haven't seen a stack of money for a long long time You want to know why because I don't I'm more used to looking at my virtual number Than I am a physical stack of cash And a lot of people do that. They're like, I don't have any cash in my wallet I need to have a couple hundred bucks in my wallet just in case I get into an emergency No, you don't what what the hell is that about? You're fine in this country. You're totally fine chill out. Okay Super super important, this is the biggest one You need to learn how to distance yourself from money when you come into the independent investor channel live stream We put it right in your face right in your face That doesn't mean that you can't digress when we're done talking about this Vent session that I put out. This is great for me too. It allows me to vent talk about my favorite topic money boom boom I'm aggressive. I throw it talk about all your power All your love right and I throw it out there and I throw it out there hard But when I digress I've got a soccer game tomorrow at eight o'clock. I will be lock step steadfast in our mission tomorrow at eight at two soccer games tomorrow two My focus will be there My focus will be on other things when we're done with the game hitting the gym working out eating healthy tomorrow Every single day is a new challenge to where you can incorporate those things that are way way more important During those times of focus than your money. Okay It can start to consume you a little bit if you're thinking about it all the time, okay So set aside those times when you're like dang, this is pretty cool Ryan saying it's okay to talk about the money. I think it's fun. I think it's fun. You might think i'm weird A lot of people think that people who talk about money as often as I do is weird But again, I buy into the philosophy that if I can really hit this topic hard The program is there. It's in place. I don't have to focus on a little dab of cryptocurrency I don't have to focus on a little dab of element of hyper growth in my portfolio I don't have to focus on the mid cap allocation or the dividend growth strategy or the cash allocation Or my child's college fund or my child's, uh, you know 5 29s and u gma accounts My savings account, right My surplus account, right my this my that I don't have to focus on those because I've already taken the time To use my wrench to build those accounts up over time My tsp I can go on and on and on all of those strategic buckets feel different strategies in my life So I've already put in the good work Okay, it's not like I have to continue to put in work and then stress out about putting in more work To build it up and do more and do more and more and more No, you put in the work on the onset and then you digress a little bit and enjoy being an investor monitor the accounts monitor them Check their performance. Okay Build them up over time look for pockets of improvement over time But let me tell you guys when you build up a program like mine It becomes very very apparent to me that the more that I can just hold true on the market The better off i'll be in the long term and it actually takes so much stress off of Not having enough money, which is the fundamental The fundamental problem that we're going at in in this society is people wanting more money How do you get there? Okay, and really the key is to be able to separate Separate from the need to feel that money all the time separate from it Put those strategic buckets out to work and start to build your digital number Super super important, right? And once you separate from your money and you know and you're comfortable with that separation That's the key is a lot of people. It scares them to death They don't want to do that like man alive. I I can't do that type of thing That's crazy. I gotta I gotta have my money physically In front of me or I gotta feel it or I gotta have it in case of an emergency, right? You get where I'm going with that. So very very important to To to separate from your money. I really hope you guys appreciate this I always try to give these insights on how I approach the money game And for me what makes sense for me is not something that I'm going to try to sell every individual on But if you come into the independent investor channel live stream I'll give you what I've given you for the last 60 minutes Put the heart on the sleeve a little bit and tell you why it is that I do what I do To try to justify and and really help answer some of those questions as to Gosh, maybe that makes sense for Ryan. Maybe that doesn't make sense for me or I'm critical on his program But but but I get it. I get that each and everybody out there has their own strategy to deploy And and the secret sauce of it is to find those strategies that work for you So guys, I really appreciate you tuning in to the independent investor channel live stream We will wrap it up 60 minutes fast to 60 minutes on youtube for me.
