 I feel like we should just skip the basics and just get into a cheat code and stuff. Yeah, yeah. Amen. Cheat code to everything. Let me just open it. Let's go. So look, man, today in the black, well, first of all, welcome to the trap. Welcome to the trap market. Thank you for having me. Man, this platform was created to highlight black people doing dope stuff, whatever it is. Black business, black entrepreneurs, black scientists, creative black people who are trying to do it independently. Who are doing it? That's a fact. You know what I'm saying? We need platforms like this that's going to highlight us doing good sometime. That's only right. And today, we got y'all in here, man. Cheat code. Appreciate you for having us. Can you feel me? I got all my side notes right here, man. First of all, we got Kway and Jehu right here. You know, they represent. He said, tell them where you from. I'm from the Washington metropolitan area in Northern Virginia, Maryland, the whole 495. So shout out to the DMV. Yeah, I'm from Ghana, West Africa. Yeah. Back home. Shout out to them. Shout out to all that cubs, though they don't even know yet. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. The year of return is coming soon, you know what I mean? So that's what they're waiting on? I mean, nah, you don't got to wait on nothing. It's not the return of the year. They're like, look, I'm telling you. All the niggas coming back. Yeah, the year of return was actually last year. But every December, every December, people go to Ghana, you know what I'm saying? It's one of the hottest places to be in December. Bro, we ought to put together. So they just have gangers just show up. That's a fact. That's the way it goes. Let's get right down to it, man. We'll get into all of that later on, man. Tell us about the cheat code. First of all, put us up on game. Man, some cheat code, man. Cheat code is so much. It's our brand. It's our company. It's our community. Shout out to all the cheaters out there. The cheat code out goes the software we developed that helps users know when to get in and out of stocks, crypto, forage, anything with a chart on it helps you know when to buy, when to sell. Because a lot of times, people don't know when to get in and out of a trade. So that's a software we developed called the Chico Algo. The Chico community is a community of 16,000 traders. Cheaters. Call them cheaters, you know what I mean? People who are looking to learn how to beat the market, you know what I mean, how to get the information with a community of like-minded people to support and help along the way. So you're saying y'all created an algorithm, right? That lets people know when to buy stocks, when to sell stocks, when to hold them. That sounds to do all three, you know what I'm saying? Yeah, it's crazy. So the main thing about it though is this, right? A lot of people look at it and they'll think it's like a magic pill, right? There is no magic pill to the market, you know? That's the bottom line, in fact, no matter, but there are ways to give yourself an advantage. When you look at hedge funds out there that got billions and trillions of dollars that are getting out the market and spending billions of dollars on tools to help them to stay and step ahead of you and everybody else in the market. So we developed a similar type of tool for the average person to be able to get them an advantage, right, but you still gotta learn. You know, it's not something you can just pop in and be like, oh, by itself, by itself, you gotta learn, you know what I mean? You gotta put in the work. How did y'all pull on this partnership? Man, crazy. I actually met this dude when I was still in my nine to five, no longer working my nine to five years. Never thought I'd see the day, neither. Never thought I'd see the day, neither. Man, we've been in a few business ventures together. We were making, you know, a ton of money and I still wasn't quitting my nine to five, but Chico was the one that freed me, you know what I'm saying? Shout out to Chico. You were making a ton of money, it still won't quit just yet. A ton of money is crazy. We pulled off, we used to, we had like a, like a home improvement, home improvement, but we also did commercial projects, all the damage, restoration, stuff like that. We get like a $10,000 check in a day, you know what I mean? I'm like, well, what are you, you know, why are you still working if we focus full time on this? Like you clock that every single day, you know, it still wouldn't quit. Yeah, it's just something about the nine to five, man. You know, it's like a mental blockade, you know what I'm saying? Yeah, comfortable. It gets you comfortable. You know, you're scared to lose your benefits, this and that, you know what I'm saying? Yeah, it's crazy, it's crazy, but for the longest time, you know, we even traveled one on a trip, like, you know, to Miami, it was like, yo, let's continue the trip to like, you know what I'm saying? And I found in front of that whole trip with stock money. Yeah, stock money. I made like, with $30,000 on the trade, I was like, man, let's go blow that shit, we just went to Miami, we just tweaked out. You gotta do that sometime, man. You work hard, you play hard. You gotta blow some money sometime, man. That's what keeps the hustle spirit alive. Yeah, for sure. That's a fight, man. Yeah, so I met him through a different business venture and then we got together, he was one of my other friends actually brought him on because he's been known for, you know, being operationally, you know, business acumen type of thing, being able to put systems together and whatnot. Hold on one second, you know him for that? Yeah, in my local, in my local community, you know what I'm saying? So basically like, people, I never had a 95. I got locked up 18 to 21. I ain't even gonna listen to that last one. I'm just gonna stick to the fact that you said you ain't never had a job before. I can respect that. I've had a little hustle and stuff like that, like I came on 21, I couldn't really get a real good job that could cover what I needed. I had a son on the way a year after I came home. I was in construction at one point and it just wasn't working. So I started trading from the porta-potties. I was like, you know what, you know, once I started making more money from the porta-potties that I did on the job side, I was gone. And I rolled the bottle there as soon as I could. And so 21, I just went full time in the trading entrepreneurship. I'm 31 now, so it's been 10 years. So all my friends and people around in the circles, you know, in the community know me for like, always doing something, some business, some hustle doing something, you know what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah. So that's how we met, man. And, you know, Quay, I mean, if you've been around him, you're gonna hear something about the financial markets. You know what I'm saying? It's what we eat, breathe, sleep. Like 3 a.m., we up talking about, you know, this business is starting this. They're, you know, their management team, they just brought on this new CEO, CEO, et cetera, et cetera. So he just started talking, man. I'm somebody that's a sponge for information, you know what I'm saying? I went to school, always been math and science, very, you know, open-minded. So I listened to him and we had these conversations, man, he'd be like, man, he was talking about the stock market crashing. Like he was like, yo, there's all these financial indicators, all these economic indicators that the stock market is gonna crash soon. And this was before COVID, mind you, this was probably six months before COVID. And he was talking about it. I'm like, man, like, you know, like, yeah, I'm listening. I'm looking, I'm doing my research. I'm like, man, you're right. You know what I'm saying? Like the market is looking overextended and low and behold, someone had ended up putting like a hundred million dollar bet against the stock market at the time. And he was like, yo, look, you know, these institutional guys, they know something that, you know, us average people do not know. So I was like, man, we're paying attention to it. And low and behold COVID came and the stock market crashed like crazy, right? It's like 20% some crazy correction that they had in the market. And the person that put the hundred million dollar bet against the market was able to make like literally billions of dollars, like billions. So I was like, man, like, yo, this stuff, like, you know this stuff like the back of your hand. More of us need to be like, you know, informed about this. So I'm like, yo, I'm going to like, I'm like, yo, we need to literally force this man. I don't like a lot of talking, like to people. You know what I mean? Like I talked about like local group. He's an introvert. But I don't like the whole lot of it. So he was like, man, he's a super extrovert always talking to people. So he's like, man, he made this group, a DM group, like 60 people. It's the Grim DM. He was like, are you going to teach these people and stuff? So I just, you know, dancers went in, we host those zoom calls and stuff like that. And so for the longest time, we didn't even do it as it wasn't even a business and it was just doing it just cause we wanted to get the information out there. So it got to the point where 10 months later we had like, you know, one from 16 people, like two, 3000. And they were like, yo, we got to pay you because like we just been giving up so much for free all this time. Like just hours and hours and hours on calls. Like 12, 16 hours a day type thing on calls with different people. She called us born. Yeah. And that's how it all came about, man. It's crazy. Hey man, hats off to you brothers for even have, you know, the knowledge to even put something like this shit together. Like that's really thinking outside the box. Appreciate it man. Just making the information available. Cause that's the real wealth. That's the first step. You know what? It's funny you said that cause I always, I tell people like, you know, we talk about generational wealth, right? But generational wealth is not always money. It's not always buildings. It's really information. Information. Conversation rule in the nation. Exactly. Like when you pass down the information, you can give a kid a million dollars and if you don't have the information, you're gonna blow it. I'd rather know how to make it. People win the lottery all the time. People win the lottery all the time. The information like the knowledge to go get it. That's how you keep getting it. That's the real bad. Cause if you can get one, you can definitely. You can get two. The same, you can... That's exactly what's important. Exactly. Well he just said a word. Y'all can't count how many times man. Like I done got the bag, blown the bag, went back to zero and I started, I'm waiting for him. Like I tell the story too. When we in the crypto market in 2017, crypto went crazy. You know, a lot of people weren't even hip to crypto at that time. Right now everybody talking about crypto. Yeah. But at that time man, I went from like five grand to 250k in like four months trading crypto, right? One day the market crashed overnight. Yeah. And I was over leveraged, lost 220 grand in a single night and I was devastated. I was like, you know, even though I had 30 grand left, I'm like, I'm used to the 250. I'm like, yeah, I'm down to 30. And then from there it started to lose it all. Crazy. I had to go back and a lot of my real estate money was tied in there. A lot of things I was doing at the time had to go back to, I went all the way back to collecting scooters on the side of road. A lot of people don't even get scooters and charge them up. Rahe, I go pick up scooters in the van and go all the way back to that. You know, till I got a little bit enough to flip that into something and flip that back into the stock market. Because I had that skill set, it could rebuild. So it's all about the information once you got it, never leaves you. You know what I'm saying? That's real good. Well, look man, work hand, work hand. What's the question, Kat? Okay, wait, Elon Musk just sold about $3,000 for the Tesla stock. But then he also bought back the Tesla stock from like that state of office and shit like that. Yeah, options. He was cleaning up, he was cleaning up some bread. Yeah, he was letting it go. He would let it go so he can buy it back cheaper. So man, so pretty much you got, you know, a lot of these corporate executives they have options, right? They get paid in options, things like that. Elon's must, his compensation plan is tied to performance of the stock and things of that nature, right? So what we've actually seen in the market right now is actually a record level of selling by corporate CEOs, right? They're selling shares at a record level right now because like I said, they always a step ahead, right? The market has had a tremendous run over this time. At some point you got to cash out. So what's happened is a lot of these CEOs are taking their chips off the table, right? You know what I'm saying? Improperation for who knows what. Just let it do what it do, right? You got the Federal Reserve right now that's about to kick up interest rates at some point, right? Because inflation's running rampant since COVID, interest rates been low, everybody money flowing freely et cetera, et cetera. They're about to turn that spigot off at some point, right? Or slow it down. So that's not always gonna bode so well for some corporate stocks. So a lot of times what you're seeing is these guys are selling all shares and things like that to lock in those profits and... Exactly. The whole thing with cash is a position type of thing, yeah. Just sitting on the sidelines, yeah. Man, it's just been so interesting that you know, COVID did happen. Now we got to see like guys like y'all just come out and really have the platform where people like, hey man, shit's so bad, we listening. Give us the game. We don't know what the market about. Tell me something, young man. And then it's like, you see a lot of young black men coming out like Aristotle and then you see like Derrick Grayson, you know. Like Tony Declose, all the people who are in the finance industry in there coming out with this information that we see exactly, exactly like shout out to Ernie Leeser and Wall Street Traffinology. It's like the information is becoming more available than I've seen it in my room, you know what I'm saying? And it's from the younger generation. Like black men, young, mid-30s and things of that nature. So it's like, it makes me always wonder what we could have been if somebody would have came and kicked a piece of that knowledge. It's crazy. You ever heard them say back in the day that they say, you know, you ever want to keep something from a black man put in the book? Right, right. That's no longer the case anymore, right? Like this generation, you know, even the generation before, I'm firmly believing that, you know, given the opportunity and the resources, right, we're gonna get it, right? Because we've always been hustlers. Like if you go back at any point in time during black history, we've always been hustlers. Yeah, but see, now that's turning to caveman talk, brother. The way that the world is moving right now, we're gonna have to read everything we ever been taught about some money was wrong at this point. And now that we finally touched a little bit, we gotta change the crypto currency. Yeah, man, we gotta, we gotta all over again. I can't imagine my grandmothers and girls and stuff. Baby, they want to set this Bitcoin, they gotta pay cash for the money. Yeah, nah, it's crazy, man. Listen, fuck, man. The way education is going is just, it's just a different vibe now, like, and we're not learning through, like, even like books as much anymore. It's social media, it's, you know, conversation on YouTube, the podcast is oratory. And you know, as black people, if you go back way back to our ancestors, that's how we learn. That's the best way that we learn. Right. Coming back from Africa, it's like, you know, we tell stories by firesides. Like a lot of information is passed through generations, through stories, right? Which is sound and, you know, sound manipulation and things like that. So, I mean, today is just, the information is out there is accessible. You just said something, bro. You just said some good podcasts and it's like, it's like the new fireside chat, really, you said, you know, around the bonfire and stuff like that, talking and passing stories down from generation to generation. You know, this is really that new, new confidence. Now, if this is the story, it's like, okay, now if the information and the story we're gonna pass on to the next generation is financial literacy. Let me ask you this, like, coming from Ghana, what are some of the things you learned about money coming from a whole other country than coming here and then having to relearn this system? What are some of the things that you came with that stuck with you from your background? I would say one of the number one things, so coming back home, just to give you a little background, my mom was, you know, the head of like, we had like a little convenience store back home that was like our family house. Like, we owned that store and my mom would go out to get stuff and I'd be like the one in front of the store. Like, six years old, I was already doing transactions with grown men and people couldn't cheat me just because of the, you know, the background that we come from. Because they had a chico. Yeah, they had a chico. Yeah, but now it's crazy. It was just, I was always business-minded, you know. It was like, it was not an option. Being business-minded was a survival, you know, like a survival sense, like a second nature that you have to either, you adapt or you really don't make it, you know. You need to get it. Yeah, exactly. It's kind of like a jungle mentality, but from there to now, differences that I would say from there is just the fact that there's no such thing as credit. Other people's money, OPM doesn't exist back home. If you have to pay for rent, you pay the full 12 months upfront. If you have to buy a car like a Range Rover, you buy the entire thing upfront. But if you come here, there's the opportunity of using other people's money to be able to finance different projects to a certain scale, which is crazy. And people don't even take advantage of it. We sit down and say, like when we have these conversations just comparing back home to here, it's just like coming from back home, like knowing the fact that I didn't have the opportunity, like certain features that you guys have here, it's just like, I see just opportunity, you know. Just straight up, I'm just like, the sky's the limit. There's no limits. There's no reason why it can't be Elon Musk. He's a human being just as much as we're human beings. You know what I mean? So it's just, there's just no cap to like, you know, just how high we can go and how, you know. It's just other people's money, man. I hope you heard that. Yeah. I hope you heard that. Thank you so much. People sitting around right now waiting on some opportunities. Get off your ass if you want to be rich, man. Let them know what they can tune into your program, subscribe to your program, get it in that group message, all of that. How can they be a part of the cheat code, man? We got some 85% of us who I know about that paper and they want to get down with the cheaters, man. Yeah, for sure. So our Instagram is chico.tv. Chico C-H-E-A-T-C-O-D-E.tv. You could also check out our website, chico.us. And then my personal Instagram is therealjhu, therealj-e-h-u. And then you got Quay. Man, it's quay.trades, k-w-a-y.trades. Do not send nobody that looked like me or none of that shit, no Bitcoin and none of that DM stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It got a lot of big profiles. Do it. I'm not a long DM you for no money. So all of it got a lot of fake pages on it. Why Instagram don't do something about that stuff, but. I don't know either. Because if you call somebody a bitch, you was in trouble. Exactly. It's crazy. You could report these people all day long. Nothing. Nah, we got this. We got to get it. Didn't have a flag your shit for reporting everybody. Crazy. It's crazy. Nah, but yeah, man. I appreciate you guys having us, man. Definitely. Hey, man, it's your first time over here, but it definitely won't be the last, man. I wish you brothers much success with the cheat code. For sure. I'm going to definitely hit you and see what I can investigate and when to buy and when to sell, because that's just too good of an opportunity to pass. Yeah. Each one teach one is our motto. Yeah, nah, we all about that, so. Exactly. And one thing we always got along that same model thinking, man, anytime we teach something to somebody or encourage anybody who does have something valuable to share with somebody, teach the next man. Even if it's your niece, your nephew, cousin, brother, whatever it may be, because that's the only way we get about the situation of economic situation we're in as a community, as a culture, you know what I mean? Right. So I'm going to get us out of there. Yeah, let's go. I'm about to be the black Elon Musk. Let's go. When I get my paper, everybody street. The whole community. Everybody don't fuck with you getting paid last, but I'm letting you know. We need a hero out here. Y'all need something to believe in. That's a fact, man. I keep telling people, you know, it's like, if you ever imagined Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos working together, that's what we got going on right now. And people just don't know, but they don't know. That's right. Yeah, they don't know. Right, God damn it. Yeah. Well, look, like I said, much love and success to you, brothers. Don't let this be the last time you ever stop to do it. For sure, for sure. Y'all came through and dropped the cheat code on me. The black market's still open, man. Let's take a picture right quick, man. So there's no put this one in the history books. Yeah.
