 Like to welcome everybody to the independent investor channel live stream here 9 o'clock eastern standard time here for the fastest 60 minutes on YouTube Absolutely, I wish there's a way we could slow down the Slip in the stock market. I have been saying that I thought there was an undertone of Correction in the makes and that's why I've always contended over and over again that you won't you won't see these things coming from From peak to trough now Saw something off 16 percent. I haven't validated that yet, but it seems to be a lot more painful than that I guess and like I said, I've been dealing with the pain now for about five or six weeks Anyway, in what has been a year that has been really just intriguing on a lot of different fronts The portfolio is what it is from year to year. I can expect to be an investor Hit five years from now ten years from now So looking at it in in a in a vacuum in the short term doesn't do a whole lot of good I know there's a lot of people that want to get caught up in that And you know long-term investing is is just that and and if you get caught up in the short to medium term it's going to consume you and you you've really got to take some perspective about this deal and It's really the theme of tonight's video. I'm really going to try to impart to you guys how it unique investing opportunity is and how Accessible it is, you know, there's one and However many tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people that will ever make it to the major leagues And there's a there's a process of going through starting with t-ball and little league You know getting into college playing college ball, you know making your minor leagues And then maybe having the luck to have the opportunity to put your skill to work in the major leagues Every single one of you guys in this community are involved in the major league stock market, okay? There is no minor league. All right, if you're invested in some of the large cap Companies in in this country. You're invested in the SMP in some capacity Perhaps maybe you even own a Dow component in your portfolio Perhaps maybe you do some dealer dealer deals through your brokerage through some of the major brokerage houses Make no mistake it guys that that is the the major league stock market out there that there is no sub league There is no bush league It is the major leagues and and I think sometimes people can allow the opportunity to get away from them a little bit And and and not have it remain in check for them They could they can evolve too quickly. I think and I think the expectations sometimes can get away from yourself In other words, you start on a defensive path of SMP 500 investing and for the last 10 years It's been on fire. It's been absolutely a phenomenal way to invest And then we get a small hiccup in the market and it seems like you know, everybody wants to throw in the towel number one or You start to layer on with additional risk to try to accelerate Where the portfolio is is not fit to accelerate that growth in other words it needs to adjust It's it's it's been on such a tear over the last few years that It needs to for the health of the market to go through its natural cycle and there are things you can do to help Accelerate your wealth by adding to during downturns. We talk about all that stuff But I think you just need to learn to accept the gains as well as the the corrective You know Retracement in the portfolios and I think a lot of people kind of get lulled to sleep a little bit in thinking that it's just all good all the time Now I always say that it's never as good as you think that it is and and it's never as bad as you think that it is either I've seen these corrections go skirt right up against the 20% Bear market category category only to rip to the upside Will that happen this time? I don't know I actually forecasted that I thought that 2021 was gonna actually end on a fairly good note Maybe I won't be so lucky. I don't know and that's yet to be seen I'll let you know how December turns out in January But for me, it's been just one of those Trying years in the market where I've absolutely learned a lot my risk tolerance To risk has absolutely just went through the roof I've entered into and and kept hold all year, which has just been an absolutely termultuous year for the largest holding in my portfolio with this highly on holdings which Just went over it's it's RSI today. It's it's oversold right here at the six dollar level Will it continue to go down? I'm not really sure. I don't I don't learn I don't forecast that stuff if you were to ask me six months ago If I thought that the stock had any chance of getting to six dollars I would have thought you were crazy but since then there's been some things that have rolled out that have affected this but the speculative element to the portfolio Which has been the supply chain issues And and that has not helped at all And and I think for for whatever reason there's been some systemic shock to the market With the new variant obviously out there on everybody's mind. It's really too bad But we're really that gun shy and and that were that vulnerable from what has just been a really horrible three years It's just been really really bad That the markets held in quite nicely here since coming off of its bottom in the early 2020 but for the most part I I would consider That it has been a very very tough landscape to navigate over the last few years Just with you know, the unknowns It feels like you're running as fast as you possibly can and you know that there's a cliff in front of you But you're blindfolded. You don't know where you're running to as hard as you possibly can So, you know, just a lot to think about with regard to where you are as we enter into the holiday season as We start to take note of what has happened and transpired over 2021 are you in a better position this year if you've made your way to the live stream? And I'm asking you some of these rhetorical questions now is always the time to self reflect man And and it's always time to take stock about what's important. That's for sure me personally I look at my portfolio and even though it's down with my Prism and lens. I'm looking at some of the positions that I hold right now And I haven't done a lot of moves this year. I really haven't I've just held true on this because I I think the pieces that are in place to this portfolio It has been built built with the pedigree to the best of my ability To really really transpire over the next five to ten years into something very very special So, you know specifically to highly on you look at it here at six I don't see any difference between five and ten dollars. I said this last Friday, and I was glad I said it I said it right off the cuff I didn't mean to say it, but I never know what I'm gonna say But I'm not investing in the stock to sell it at 20 So if I enter into it at five or I into it enter into it at 10 I'm not selling at 25, and I'm not selling at 50 either. So so what's the difference? What what is what is the issue right now in looking at it almost tick by tick now? sentiment is probably as Low as it's ever been that's typically what happens when a stock hits all-time lows when in fact You should probably have the opposite type of perspective when you're looking at your stock investing I I just think everybody wants to buy into what feels good, and I'm sorry if you've invested for Any any more than a year in this game you have got to understand that there are two two sides to this whole game And and you need to really ask yourself what it means to be an investor I think a lot of people expect to become an investor and then automatically your investments. Oh you and The expectation is that those investments Are in the stock and not the company and therefore that stock owes you in so far as going up every day And when it does not do what it is that you have put it in place to do Then somehow you lose you lose track of what it truly means to be an investor Furthermore, I think there's a lot of people that look at the past history of a stock and somehow that's a forecast of where the stock Is going to go in the future it could not be any more wrong It could not people are looking at it and they're saying because it's down to where it is now It's therefore going to go to this Nobody has the ability to forecast that anybody who does Think that they have the ability to forecast that it is so naive And quite frankly arrogant and and doesn't have the necessary Experience to admit That the stock is going to do what the stock is going to do into the future There there has to be some things that either transpire and this is with the entire portfolio This is with the entire stock market All right The idea of becoming an investor is not to become an investor Only for the good times and then bail when you think things are bad I was just talking to a colleague at work the other day And I said, you know Anytime in my history in 25 years of investing anytime I've ever tried to get smarter than the market and think that i'm Getting ahead of a downturn or I sell everything or i'm watching youtube videos And the word crash is is everybody's favorite word And I I don't I don't mean to pick on that I use it myself because it seems to get people's attention But I typically look at it from a different angle in that What what really is a crash markets do go up and they go down And you really need to understand and how and really learn how to survive in both up and down markets Okay, it feels really really good When when things are going up and they can be prolonged upswings in the market To allow that feeling to really set in But when it goes down you need to kind of find that that middle ground a little bit and and keep a little bit of perspective on this deal You really do And when we get into the portfolio reviews, you're going to see that we're off a touch, but at the same time I try to understand my perspective when I look at a single stock like like highly on right now that's been in a rut I think it's been down 13 days straight in a row And I don't even count that one day that it was up a penny Almost seemingly about 10 days ago. Anyway But the perspective is the same Am I looking to retire at 492,000 whereas a month ago I had 540,000? Of course not What is it that I can do in way of meeting my financial goals with the portfolio that I'm going to declare to you night Or the portfolio that I declared to you a month ago What is the difference between those two portfolios and a lot of people will say 50 grand ryan. It's a it's a it's an old viper, you know Or or it's a really nice car or it's a plot of land or something like that I think you're kind of missing the perspective and the point man a lot can happen over a month I totally get that But stop looking at what you're giving up for the opportunity and the luxury to become an investor because The the real reality of it and this is kind of where I break it down for a lot of people Is that the very wealth that I'm able to sit on and deliberate on now, whether it be the 540 or the 492 or the 510 or or whatever the numbers that I declared to you and every single time I tell you it doesn't mean squat It doesn't mean squat the reality is somebody who makes the income that I've made which has been a moderate Middle-class income. I feel I fit in with the masses right And and and I'm able to project to you that the the wealth that I have would not have been possible without The opportunity made possible by the stock market and I think a lot of people could resonate with that I want to make a couple of announcements on the channel First of all, I will be off next friday. I'm taking my wife to christmas party next friday for some well-deserved libation Looking really good Really forward to that. It's just awesome. We love doing that. It's one of my favorite things to do So we'll be off next friday just for your knowledge So so so don't be surprised by that Number two, I had an interesting interaction today in downtown norfolk, virginia Which is I was waiting for the transit train and I had a young man come up to me And he gave me the fist bump and he said hey man, thanks for your service It couldn't have been more than 21 22 years old anyway Kind of got to talking a little bit. I invited him into the live stream tonight He said man, I'll be there. He was with a group six six or so others man And I said hey man hook up with me and we got to talking anyway about He's a business major here at one of the local colleges and I just asked him what he want to do And you know got to talking about the youtube opportunity and you know for me man, the the connections is key I kind of got on a little bit of a soapbox talking about the beauty of connecting with people I mean, I've got you know, becky's on the norwegian breakaway Which is just brings back memories for me big time That was a cruise ship that I took to bermuda myself But to connect with people abroad as well I hope you hopefully you guys find some value in that as well I have not been taking my time to sulk And drown in my own tears as a matter of fact, I've been taking the project strong into 2021 There are a few bright spots and silver linings in the independent investor repertoire We have rolled out the patreon. I've had that for a long long time And it's almost getting complete. It will be a constant evolution of of of additional Opportunity to kind of take the youtube offline and do away with some of the advertising requirements That's kind of what you pay for on a monthly program I'm in the process of reevaluating my private group I absolutely love doing the opportunities with individuals one of my favorite things to do And you know those projects you slowly build them up over time And I'm trying to understand where to put my focus with regard to my content that I'm rolling out I've always believed that I've had An affinity for this topic. There's no doubt when I'm in the pocket I've got a scheduled m1 experience scheduled for this sunday when I'm in the pocket man And I'm helping people I really enjoy that because I'm trying to help provide some sort of clarity on how I've went from zero To what I'm on right now And it seems like in this life a lot of people go back and forth winding back and forth trying to figure out What it is that I think I've kind of got figured out now. It hasn't been without Perils and pitfalls and problems and you know stocks that don't work out or they go down in the short term I've had every excuse in the book to throw in the towel On some of those investments that I've had in the past and some that i'm going through right now The very fact of the matter is i'm trying to share with you guys How important it is to separate your application do what it is that you're not supposed to do Do what it is that you feel like you don't want to do Do what it is that is contrary to what the masses are doing out there, okay? And i've said this many many times the more independence you can be with your thought a better off It seems like society does nothing Nothing but put us all in a box puts us all in the same swim lane And once it's all to act the same man And I tell you what man the more independence you can be with your thought the more liberated you will be And the more empowered you will feel and once a week It's great to come in and soak in a message like mine Where I look to fuel that fire of empowerment in each and every one of you guys welcome to the message guys We've got a lot jam packed show To to to jam into the fast to 60 minutes on youtube. It's great great to see everybody No real place to hide the market right now it seems as if right i've probably initiated More of of an an opportunity to deploy strategic strategies In my application than I've ever taken the effort to 2021 was that You know, it was my first year to dabble in cryptocurrency Hell, it's the only section of the portfolio that's up right now Even with shibu in imu ahimu atimu shiitake yumu Down right now a little bit But um, you know, it's the only section right now and i'm finding out that there's a whole lot of different ways of making money in the market Um, it's been a real interesting year for me. I validated some of my legacy Um applications, but but i've also really Gravitated toward the idea that that there is no one right way in the market That's that's just a fact There's a lot of different ways you can grab exposure But if you expect that that one strategy is going to satisfy your investing palette for the rest of your life Perhaps maybe you need to look uh at some of the other strategies and what they've got to offer says one day at independent We'll be early highly on channel You perhaps I I mean the product is phenomenal It just feels really really good to be invested in this company really kind of unfortunate on the supply chains I really think they feel the same You know, we're looking at the entire EV you know, nicola and hyzon or the other two companies that I look at They're getting obliterated as well There's some level of undercurrent here and you can say whatever you want I I read a lot of the threads just for entertainment A lot of those fruit cakes don't know what they're talking about really they just as you said Don't know how to invest And for me, that's really the bottom line. Um, I don't understand people who have the time who don't have any equity stake in the in the The particular name to go in and bash a company or unless you've got an agenda Then great. I mean all is fair and love and war, right? That's the beauty of yahoo finance anymore or any other You know gossip thread to go in and try to push your agenda on a specific holding But I don't have time for that. I really don't and nor do I have time to try to impart to somebody my 25 years of experience and what it takes to succeed in the market Like I said before somebody asked me is now a good time to enter into the stock and I said well Anywhere between five and ten is probably a good entry and I didn't mean to be a smart ass, but I kind of did You know, like what is the difference? See here's the funny thing, man I was noticing people when the stock went up to about eight dollars and 30 cents about a month ago And people were talking about holy crap They were the greatest investor because they picked it up on the initial dip to 675 and I was like We're not out of the woods yet. I don't know what you guys are talking about And those guys are the ones that sell at the bottom here. Anyway, those are the ones that don't You know, they don't have the conviction on the company anyway to understand my perspective like I don't I say this again and it helps a lot of investors. It really does if you're looking at a company at six dollars right here And you can't justify that through conviction then just don't buy the stock It's just that simple man. It's all about to invest or not to invest that that's the very very secret Sauce to investing. It's where I want my dollars You know, I don't want a big position in the s&p 500 right now Now I've got six figures tied up in passive investing right now At least a good part of my wealth is always tied up in passive investing because my conviction Reflects the amount of money that I have in said craft passive investing. I've believed in it my whole life It's just taking it's just taking the mathematical and statistical certainty Of getting a year over year performance over the life of that portfolio and I don't mess with that. Okay But you know, it's just interesting me Interesting to me to hear some of the lack of perspective that goes on and to think that we're going to enter into 2022 and not Come across a few catalysts with this company is just beyond me Um, I was watching the um the summit today. It was the um environmental summit It was a great pepsi picked up an order. They solidified their order. It was a four-year order with tesla Somebody was like what is that bad for highly on it was like it's the it's the complete opposite If these companies are buying into and trying to find what is limited solution on the marketplace That's a wonderful thing to have Companies that are willing to take that leap of faith with a company like highly on or hyzon Delivered eight dump trucks this week. This is all huge news. Nicola is starting to get to that tco Objective these are huge and it's not going to be a one-sum game to where there's a one winner in this space And and and everybody else is going to fail. It's not going to work that way There's going to be businesses out there that want to do business with a lot of other people And let me tell you man diesel's not going away either I I hate to break it to you this whole shift to ev and like everything else is going away is beyond me And that was also in the summit today as well where they talked about look man We can't just pull the plug On on on on petro. We can't do that right now We can't just do away with coal all together because we finally got an environmental hair up our ass And it's just and and we have to just make these moves right now. We just can't do that. We have to transition smartly and really help these companies along acknowledge this This drive to decarbonization and I I think it's a wonderful initiative to be part of man I I it's hard for me to understand the motives behind imagining a world Where it's going to be better off without a company like highly on or or many others Right nicola if they can pull this thing off But um, yeah, it's it's just it's a fascinating fascinating thing It's one of the things that I absolutely love about stock market investing And I just happen to look at things a lot different than a lot of people I prove that to myself day to day man, but uh, we're going to keep fighting the good fight It's that simple. I don't I don't really think that this is a big deal I I don't know what everybody's freaking out about i'm a little disappointed in the supply chain shortage um That they can't control And the thing that they can control is the lack of advertisement. I'm I'm on email comms with louis Just about every day. Hey, he's a pretty good guy You know, he's just as frustrated as everybody else man. These are human beings at these companies. They're not they're not robots They're not assholes. They're not trying to scam anybody, you know This is a relatively small company and just ask yourself. How much do you think that they can get done day to day with 150 employees? Man, they're building 18 months ago. They had zero So Give it a break, right? So it's great to see everybody man and maddie. Thank you so much man. I appreciate that I'm totally unnecessary man, but uh, I really appreciate that. That's super nice, man Really nice my brother. I hope you appreciated my tweet. I'm getting into this tweeting thing um, I gotta I gotta fix my uh My etiquette a little bit I got a little heat from louis for uh, retexting a quote from him I was a little upset that my quote didn't go through the Wegman highly on video But evidently it was too long uh for youtube and they screened it out I knew it wasn't them. I knew it was an auto filter because I kept trying to post it and it didn't go through but It's great to see you my friend. It's great to see everybody man Let me cruise up here and see if I can't cherry pick. I'd like to engage a little bit with the audience Uh, just really glad to see everybody as we move into this holiday season. It's um, it's gonna be interesting man I want to close out 2021. I've got business lined up starting the first of the year Um, I do want to thank you guys, man There's been an uptick of people who at least go into the promotional content that I roll through I hit the thumbs up for me. Um, that's going to continue into 2022 I am sorry for the people that do not like it and and if you do not like it You absolutely have the choice not to consume But if you feel it all obliged man to hit the thumbs up, maybe you don't join my private group But maybe you don't join my patry on group man. Maybe you come in here and watch me sell out for 60 minutes Man, I'm tired man I'm I'm sweating my balls off after these live streams every time because I'm locked in baby I'm freaking locked in and tense for you guys trying to impart to you guys in 60 minutes Of street dialogue what I've learned in 25 years of investing man And if there's one investor out there that hears me out and understands maybe that this topic needs to be a little bit more Integrated in your life than the better off will be Okay, and just hitting the thumbs up on those man really helps man. Hell leave a comment I I don't even get comments on them anymore And I release them through the same channel that I've worked so diligently over five years to build up for you guys Throw me a bone a little bit man. I'm trying to diversify a little bit And and really streamline the message so the people that can hear the level of of of Of coaching that I have to offer Can have that access to that level of coaching. Okay But for conduits like these to keep the message fresh fresh man These these are not lucrative for me. I don't I don't make money doing this. Okay So please understand that those help pay for some of the overhead that we have to pay for To run the youtube channel, which isn't much. It's a great business Opportunity I've tried to share it with some of you guys and some of you guys very very few have taken me up on it And you're making real dollars for it. You're welcome. I don't expect any type of thank you or nothing I do that just to share the message some of you guys were like now. It's not for me Ryan good But but but trying to share the wealth a little bit man I it's really cool the the quicker you can accelerate this deal to financial security. The better off will be Good evening, everyone. Um, where would you rather be than friday at a live stream right now hanging out appreciate that man? Really appreciate that Rick. Can I really appreciate your level headed? types of um, you know give backs to me really I mean you've hit me up in private a couple of times and Your your guidance in tutelage. I There there's never a stock market investor out there. That's the all-knowing guru I know we like to put people on a pedestal But myself and and and you would admit to this as well and you've been investing most of your life Um, sometimes those insights from another investor that I do respect a lot go a long way with me really does because you know that The word on youtube it's just like I cringe sometimes and I'm like, you know, you're trying to be a smart ass man But you sound like a complete moron And and it's it's it's tiring to see that 10 times over where it's like I don't understand where people's motivation comes from Is it are they happy because I'm losing money like I'm fine But but but maybe you should focus on yourself a little bit like I'm I'm cool, man. I'm cool You know, I mean my motive in this life is to go to bed with my wife every night That's that's where my life lies, you know, it's not focusing on my portfolio And it's certainly not focusing on others That are seemingly going through a rough patch in the short term like to me that's I'm just like hell It'll turn around or man. I wish I'm well or I don't want to see anybody get involved in the stock market and get hurt I especially don't want to feel good about it. I I don't get that But you know, you never know what you're going to get on social media with some of these personalities out there I just don't know where some of the motivation comes from and I really appreciate rick Being kind of a a stable figure in the community for sure. He's a big ass shareholder and highly on He's a big one and we're going to be celebrating for sure someday. I know we're in dark times guys I don't want to sit here in sugarcoat. I mean The stock isn't down times, but I look at the the company We're going to have to bridge a little bit of downtime here through 2022 But as we march toward this catalyst of ramping up production It's going to be incredible man because anybody who caught that video this week and and saw the same things as me There is a real product ready to be turned out once they get that prototype already to rock Then they can 10 exit 100 exit 10,000 exit 100,000 exit And that's what that's what it means. They'll break down that prototype and they'll basically piece out Every single part on that assembly line so they can mass produce it. It's just that simple That's what's going on right now guys. I don't know how else to say it man It's exciting times and you know a lot of opportunity in the market to make it But but like I said man, if you're going to dump a huge amount on the s&p right now It's it's it's not a direction that I'm interested in going. It's just not I'm already invested there. I'm good I'm looking for opportunities that are going to that are going to really give me that Accelerant factor really that exponential factor in the portfolio and it has exponential factor to the downside As well as to the upside and I know that's hard for people to hear because it's hard to even imagine Um it it turning but it it turns on a dime and it turns when you least expect it Who knows what's going to happen monday? It's probably not as bad as you think that it is and before we know it We're going to be knocking on the door to christmas season and this will probably just like any other Brief correction in the market will seem like kind of a kind of fart in the wind You know what I mean? You'll you'll let it go and it's not going to be that big of a deal. All right. Let's go over the portfolios real quick guys I mean real quick. I'm just going to show the carnage here Down 85 grand. That's where that's where we sit. I have not touched a single holding here I think i'm completely down across the board. Maybe up just a tad vti all the holdings I don't know if you guys are experiencing the same thing. Maybe i'm holding a different basket of stocks that Are really really just the unknown companies, you know, like not a lot of people invest in amazon and google 3m company and a lot of people don't invest in those You know, there's been a few trickles a bright spot in the portfolio But for the most part it's been kind of blood on the streets, which is fine. It happens You acknowledge it you live to fight of another another day man. You don't you don't cry about spilt milk It's all good 113 man. I mean this was the year I pushed both of these portfolios up into six pigs And you know, you can't lose perspective on it It doesn't mean because you enter into six figures that now the six-figure portfolio owes you the the the right to stay there It doesn't doesn't mean that at all It just means that it's going to fluctuate a little bit grab its footing And and allow these companies really to solidify within the portfolio, but I like the way it's formatted I I I just love the mix of dividends. I love the mix of growth here Um, I love the progress with the tech global is just off the freaking chains These guys are just absolutely whipping some mass And so the progress that's being made there man. I how how can I sell the stock man? How how can I do that? It's I'm down just a little bit, but Man alive the progress is just just killing it. I mean they are rolling out They are in thousands and thousands of retail. They're shipping international like crazy So, you know, I just I just can't justify selling any of these value positions Microsoft is one of those that you know as an investor over the next 20 years until I look at my target retirement date I want to spend the majority of the time from now until then Owning these companies. It's just that simple. I'm just going to own them It's that simple if you want to spend your money in other capacities Go ahead, but putting a $10,000 bill on Microsoft is like Buying a pack of bubble gum at the at Walmart for me. It's it's one and the same I do it just the same in either case and I do it with just as just as much ease It's just that simple. Okay. I feel the same way about amazon and google Some of my other value plays that I've gotten the portfolio man. It's easy money. It's just easy It speaks to my separation and and and my ability to Separate my emotion from my money. My money's working in a lot of strategic buckets This is my portfolio dip below the hundred for just a just a touch a little bit Highly on hitting an all-time low really is just kind of a drag on the portfolio, but it's fine We we buffer it all all the same This week was just an all around Reduction and values across the board. It didn't matter where I was Didn't matter what stock I owned. There was a few bright spots. You know in some of the holdings Pepsi did well. Pfizer did well Um, there's some other very small bright spots small caps got crushed You know, so it like I said, it happens. Not a big deal Here's the etf portfolio. This is what I haven't touched. I'm interested. I'm monitoring this if it dips too much We'll look to do some strategic buying in this portfolio here. Not not too bad. Just shy of 20 000 in here Uh 26 000 here in the dividend growth portfolio. This is fabulous. I've had this for two years So, you know, half of this has been owned through what I can Continue to profess to you guys as a as a terrible year in the market But you know, I I just started this within the last two years And this is an asset that I wouldn't have had had I not had the Um, you know the wherewithal to start the portfolio with the strategic goal that I do want it Here's the bond portfolio. This is one of the few that's up actually just started funding this a little bit Dollar cost average trickle into this bond portfolio. Um, we're going to get this up. I've got a strategic goal lofty in this one of 250 000 dollars And I've got, you know, 15 years to get there So lofty goal here, but it's going to help actually supplement when I get to that target date I'd like to have about 25 percent Out of the million dollars in a in a nice bond portfolio for myself It'll be nice. Um as I'm looking to get into that qualified buyer status category To really look to branch out and do the real estate with with with my gents, man I mean really this they they think I'm crazy here and I'm going to be doing youtube for 20 years Which is probably true But it's going to segue into some very very special things and if you're part of the community Down to each and every last one of you, um, you will probably get some level of of clarity On that sometime in the future. It's a beautiful thing to be part of this community And it could be life changing as well with regard to the opportunity. Here's the tsp We're off shoot 15 2 grand in this portfolio. Um, this has been a really nice winner for me Like I said with the markets rolling off here just not too good This is the vanguard growth. Obviously google and some of the larger Amazon facebook rolling off a little bit. So the bug take a little suffer here This is the mid cap everything rolled off like I said Very rarely do I ever declare portfolios to you guys where it's this bad There's glow backs. Um, it's down just to touch We're fine there. There's the cryptocurrency. We are up actually 37 63 I started this portfolio with 2,500 So, you know on a percentage basis. I'm killing it. I'm take a little bit of a Strategic risk with 41 percent of the dollars in she in shib. That's okay It's a risk. I you know, I the verdict is out. We'll see we'll see where it happens And like I said the 492 871 It is what it is. I don't care if it's 512 508 560 460 at this point It doesn't matter as long as I keep an even keel keep a perspective about this deal Keep my eyes on the horizon Live to fight another day here. We'll be just fine on this. I've got a lot of cash put aside It's one that I do not declare to you. I've got about 54 000 right now and cash sitting aside so Nothing too crazy in respect to the total overall portfolio, but I'm not fully vested here either In and those are the different strategic buckets. Would I move all in on the market if it if it went down 20 percent? No, no, I wouldn't I wouldn't I don't I don't look at Them as missing out on the other. I look at my strategic buckets In in in different very very separate categories Each working as strategic niche in them in the portfolio when you put them all together The machine becomes very very powerful when your money has the ability to perform That way on a lot of different fronts. All right, so let's kick back here Into the comments. I got eric weavers in the group here man. Happy holiday to you my friend very cool Just do a little tax harvesting I don't know I keep saying that I'm going to do it with the highly on I just I don't I don't see the point Um, I you know, I move out of the position by a thousand shares or two thousand shares or whatever Um, and I get the three thousand of of write off. Maybe I I I don't get taxed on that 3000 which saves me a couple hundred bucks Uh to potentially move out of the position in those few thousand I can't enter back into it with at least those To avoid the wash sale. So I'm looking at january 2nd 3rd. I I don't want to do that I'm bullish on the company. So just to sell for the tax loss benefit of it is probably not something that I'm going to do right now It's not something I'm even thinking about Doing I'm thinking about it But but but probably won't do it Because I I just don't see the benefit man. I'm going to let the I'm going to let the I'm going to let it ride I am um, I I don't want to give up my shares I haven't given up my shares all year And I'm I'm not going to stop now. No way man. No way. I'm an investor in this company Um, I bought 200 more shares today for you guys that are interested. I know rick will be like how much would you buy ryan five or six thousand more No, I bought 200 more at six dollars a share. I couldn't get it at the five Um, it seemed like every time I queued up the order it would go up to 604 So, you know, it's all good But uh add a couple hundred. That's what I've been doing really for the last six eight months anyway Just taking taking strategic shots a hundred here a hundred there man It's like dollar cost average the position up and uh, we'll live to fight another day. All right. It's um, it's very exciting All right, you got marlins in the house. Very cool. Cool. Last name That was my first college computer night everyone question I own vti throw 500 and it can say do I need more Diversification or can I just keep this you don't really? I mean if you want to go international Certainly that would be the the element of diversification But vti is the small mid cap and large cap stock market It is the total stock offering man for the domestic Markets, uh, and it can be a standalone uh type of thing marlin. It's a great great question I really appreciate it. I've got vti surgically In my brokerage account That way I can do kind of what you're doing and aggressively fund that up Where where I where I want I'm not dollar cost average in it specifically right now But I do have a token position in a 25 or so shares. I think is what I've got In vti, I'd like to get that up to a hundred thousand dollar position in in in of itself And and that's a the drop point for for win highly on materializes And I do my first do dive Due diligence dive when it hits that first milestone that I've got it The independent investor channels got his price target of $24 And I'm sticking to that I had somebody hit me up in the facebook group and they were like It looks like fisher was right And I'm like man alive. You totally missed my point Jesus I was merely suggesting that the timing of that downgrade Had a reason behind it like who cares like who really wants to see this company fail I mean, it's it's really odd. I I don't get it. I don't want to see any company fail I don't I don't want to see that happen. There's 150 workers at the company What are they gonna do are they gonna they're gonna have to find another job? It's just stupid. It doesn't make any sense at all but My price target was set in november for 2022 and I I don't Find that to be too far-fetched It's about as far-fetched. I guess on one side of the spectrum Then putting a five dollar price target on which I felt like was a hit job at the time Only so goldman sacks could add to their existing position. And that's exactly what they did Call it for what it is guys. Okay If if you if you see something in front of you that, you know, they're they're they're seemingly putting a downgrade on a stock to to to put some sort of fear In you, why would they be buying the stock? It just doesn't make any sense. Use some rational Application to this gig man, but it's a hell of a question. Yeah, you can keep vti It's a standalone man. You can have 250,000 just in that one vti holding. It's about 3600 Total companies representing the total us market. So diversifies you quite nicely. Very good question. Thank you VTI is diversification. You betcha. Absolutely the single stock that I do is not diversification I'm sorry different schools of thought out there would look at my 80 stock dividend growth portfolio That's not why I own that. I don't own that for diversification I own it for dividend growth. It's a small nice dividend Paying engine that is 80 companies that I want to own just that's simple I won't be able to comment much from driving. I'm all ears. It's all good proper You're all over the place on social media another one of those staunch advocates, man He's all over the place always positive Always leaving a really really cool comments. I always enjoy Seeing the level headed type of of dialogue as well as maybe even defending me a little bit Not that I need to be defended, but you know, it's amazing, man how sometimes true colors come out About it where you know, I get accused of somehow I don't I don't know like it's my fault that the stock is down at six bucks right now. I mean, I'm fine I'm not loot. I'm cool, you know But but it's somehow my fault and I'm gonna somehow lead people astray as I shepherd them off the cliff you know Into uh financial ruin next year because I I've come on and I've given my opinion About a stock that's looking to change the world and and move fleets in a direction that they've said openly that they want to move in I just don't get it. I can say it a thousand times in a lot of different ways But but but for a lot of people, man, they just won't get it and that and that's okay, too I know I've just um trying to trying to share my opinion about it. And that's just the way I feel about it Fantastic, David. Thanks for making your way in. I really appreciate it. So as we approach the end of the live stream It's amazing to me How many more people come in at the end of the year during holiday season? We've got 75 patrons in here, man There was live streams where I couldn't even break 50 this year But we remain steadfast on the message and appreciate you guys sticking with it That's for sure, man. Allowing me the latitude to do what it is that I do. There's only one of me, man I've digressed on the podcast a little bit. I I did put three seasons through 30 minute content 30 minutes straight of 10 episode contents on the podcast Made a hundred bucks. That's it. So for you guys that are thinking that you're just going to quit your day job And do social media for a living It's all I can do to remain Sane, you know, and I think that's what I was watching. I've watched a lot of j max sport card videos And he's all over the place. He's going to shows every weekend really cool stuff, man Kind of shows me that he's he's staying busy doing other things and that's important, man It really is this portfolio thing, man. If you want to sit there and stare at it and I don't know Tell stories to it or I don't know put some acdc on for motivation. I don't know it's not going to help at all It's not going to do what it, you know, it's going to do what it's going to do. It's all good You got to keep yourself busy doing those things, right? super super important so Anyway, raya lamb is in the house here says highly on absolutely So I've already given you my opinion on that's kind of cool and frame of minds in the house It's great to see you very cool And uh, here's marlin again. So thanks everybody very cool. Just engage very cool These are Yeah passive income my boys in the house. It's good to see you my friend. Happy holidays to you up in the great north Great to have you Very cool. Well, good evening. Highly in errors. I don't know James man. Not yet Not yet Like I've said from the beginning the very solution on this or anything else is Have some conviction when you enter into a stock and be willing to to just own it You don't have to buy more. You don't have to freak out You don't have to do anything other than just the most simple thing that you could ever do and that's really nothing Really, it's the it's the easiest thing that you can possibly do and um, it's not going to happen when you expect it to happen, but If you don't think that this company has a bright future You're entitled to your opinion. I just see it differently. I do okay If eti goes to zero it's game over. Yeah, but no doubt about it. Somebody's pulled the plug Yeah, we're all in trouble if eti goes to zero. That's for sure I don't see that happening. Either the us is the place to be for investments. It's that simple One thing I've learned about stocks is they can always go lower These are these are words of a wise investor, kyle you know it's um Sometimes it's the it's the best lesson that people can learn it'll make you Make you find that balance. I think in the market when you're looking to apply a strategy That's going to win in both markets not get over levered Especially not get over zealous in the market Think that you can duplicate uh over and above average type of returns Consistently very very difficult to do that man. I mean the the market is very very humbling and and it humbles it for all investors Anybody who's involved in markets right now are getting humbled. It's part of the gig If you don't like that you say god Ryan, I don't like to lose money Then just don't invest if that's your that's your thing. I think that's ill guided I I don't want to see people do that But I only want to see people get involved with the markets that can handle The ups and the downs in the market over the long term because you give yourself the best chance Of succeeding over the long term. Okay, that's simple That's nice to see you brother. It's great to see you Antanas is in the house. Great to see you And scaling back a debt repayment schedule. Sure May or win reducing my interdict from 54 to 39 fantastic. Now, that's good news man Very good stuff. Don't care about the stock price We'll keep adding until the time comes where it's too expensive. Yeah, I'm I'm surgically making my You know my injects here. I've got a cost average down to 11 dollars and 30 cents I mean, we're about 40 off of that mark But I look at 11 30 the same way as I do 8 13 or or 7 12 It just doesn't doesn't doesn't matter with me. It doesn't it just doesn't equate to me I I don't see how I'm supposed to look at this Um in a way that everybody else says I'm supposed to look at it. I I just I don't understand that rationale I don't know. Maybe I'm the one that's effed in the head. I don't know I just don't look at it that way. I just don't Who knows how long it will be for the shares Uh end up with yeah, well you well Oh, I'm being a little more selective. I guess, you know, the one thing that we do know Is the supply chain shortage and I I'm hoping that things shake out sooner than later um, but but that is um, that is a real concern and and it's not just with highly it's the rest of the space It's you know industrial space Is taken it on the chin right now with their inability to get the components that they need that that's a concern So, you know, I've put a pause on just firing bullets at it all the time And I haven't I hadn't bought for a while today was the first day that I'd bought just a little trickle Um a couple hundred shares nothing nothing too crazy Push the position up into an it's just a nice healthy position. It's just that simple not really looking at the dollar amount I'm looking at the share amount That's what I'm looking at So I don't really get caught up in in the day to day. I do watch it. I do monitor it. It's an active position for me I think it's irresponsible not to watch it. Like, you know, I'm I'm not gonna watch it Like I'm the one who's subjected my money to this. I I I want to watch it I want to pay attention to it man. This is this is I'm engaged in the process You know, I'm engaged in watching every turn that's most investors feel that way That's why everybody's so hungry for information that I feel like is the one thing that I would say is a delta right now with highly honest their lack of Um transparency with pushing out any any information. I mean anything Um, that's why dexter's blowing up right now on youtube man drive mix game I mean dude, dude's awesome. He he talks like me. He talks like jason or any other You know matt and kyle these these just normal people who come on and they're just like Here's kind of the way we're thinking. You know, it's not refined. It's not suit and tie You know, it's not it's not I'm blow elegant this and that bullshit. It's just real talk man And that that's what real talk people are just interested in, you know, the the refined video with wegmans was great Um, but I could have taken a half a dozen iphone films of you know under the hood man Take an iphone and just film under the hood and I I know there's probably You know some some proprietary type of sensitivity there I I get that but my point is the frequency is is the key here And if I'm doing my math correctly, man, I look at the last news feed that came through it was november 9th That's unacceptable in in my my and and I might be Too hard over on that people might say that you're wrong ryan, you know, they don't have to do that I like that I beg to differ. That's not right And and um, it's just my opinion I could be unfair with that um I try to stay as above board as I possibly can with lewis because that's not lewis's job It's more, um, you know ryan malone That's her job with investor relations And I've yet to get a response from ryan malone So if you guys are are in here and you are highly on supporters, I should put this on the highly on videos, man Um, hit them up, you know, let them know what you're feeling. There's absolutely Um, I I hit them up almost every day Maybe they're tired of hearing from me, but that's too bad Um investor and relations I am an investor and you owe me the relation and not not in so far as like you get to ignore me That's not that's not going to work. Okay So very cool stuff, man. We'll see how it shakes out. It's all good Kyle don't tell that I'll get there eventually jay mack able poll as well. It's nice to see jason and the group here, man He pulled out a mickey mantle on his grading video today. I was like, damn dude, that's a four mickey mantle It's a nice card. Um, I hope he doesn't mind me mentioning and I think it was his brother's card I think and and with the no one ryan rookie. Um, that was kind of cool. I'm had to roll out Really cool to see that stuff really nostalgic for me, man I've been on some collections that do would just blow your mind Some old school collections of some of those old vintage cards and really cool stuff Really cool stuff, man. I'm really liking that content jason. So keep it up, man. I you got a supporter there I've got a pretty good collection myself of sports cards Nothing that you would be too interested in I you know, but uh, I I really did like to collect them I've got my hands on some good stuff. It's a lot of fun. I love sport cards. It's a lot of fun Very cool stuff Passive income says 100 I ain't got 80 in here man. Now. It's pretty cool. I love it And uh, christopher's in the house jamax. We just seen his back. He didn't like Oh, yeah, absolutely. Oh, he's the jason's cool jason will say yes or no It's that simple. He doesn't sugarcoat. Shit. I like it. It just Yeah, I don't like it piss off, you know, or he talked about the mantle tonight on his video Some guy came to his his thing and he said it's it's a fake. It's a phony. Let me take it over to my expert You know, it's like dude, that's how people talk sometimes and it's like sure man. Take it You know, he got it graded and it's it's authentic You know, and it's like dude people are crazy nowadays. Well, I don't get it Like even if you're right, dude, the there's a way to approach that You know, like are you approaching it a way to say that he's trying to like sell it and rip somebody off? You know, it's just dude. It's real and you're looking at history. It's it's really cool stuff It's a beautiful card. It graded out at a four. That's pretty impressive for a card from that was from the 60s. I believe Very cool stuff a lot of fun You got five minutes left less than five minutes left. It seems like I've been on for like five minutes I swear honestly by the passwords jv baba is normal Maybe yeah, no it dips it dips a lot For sure it goes up and down it goes on big swings for sure. I still own it I own 25 shares of it. I'm not worried about Ali Baba. That's that's that's the least of my worries, man that's all good 90 to 95 percent. I don't like that's exactly what I just said That's like, you know, no, it's that's that's not right at all and who cares if you do anyway, you know It just the the market always has an interesting way of doling out a whole different You know a set of characteristics um, that makes sense right now and um, It's it's really an interesting time to Be involved in financial markets and you know the crypto market in and of itself is interesting enough I mean you guys know how I seek my Um, you know my exposure to crypto. I could just put it in bitcoin and ethereum and cardano, which is what I do Um, but I've got a pretty good shot here if it does go up. It's tax protected earnings Man, it's a just kind of a cool way to to invest in crypto. It's kind of cool I look at it every single hour of every day. It never stops trading Um, and it's kind of cool to to have a piece of that movement where it's going to To decentralize currency. I think that's what they're moving toward and and the whole intent really I mean Elon musk talks about it all the time. Kathy wood talks about it and jack dorsi They they talk about it being kind of that liberator of of regular people Just heard a story today. I had one of my colleagues out on the boat on underway Invested in shib and it ran up over a hundred thousand dollars of profit The problem is he couldn't sell because he was out to see So he's on his way back in and waiting for the cell surface to hit his iPhone And right when he hit the cell service, he was able to hit the cell button and lock in 88 thousand dollars. That's all So 88 thousand dollars, man That's a little bit of a little bit of boost to the bottom line Anyway, just by investing in something like a shibu uno, you know, and and who knows there's there's stories going on out There's stories of people losing money too. So But you know, it just adds to the excitement anyway and I've learned really not to I don't I don't shame any strategy anymore. I don't I don't talk about You know, one person does something and and it's right or wrong. I could be quite honest with you, man I really don't care Um to each his own with their own application. I just I don't know man I I'm kind of off that whole like there's one way to invest type of of approach I'm I don't play that game anymore, man. You do what's good for you, man And and there's a lot of opportunity out there Find what makes sense for you in the market. And I think that's the best man Twerking for Birkin for sure. Very good. Thank you. Maddie. Appreciate less than a couple. I'm scanning through here Just to see if we've got anything Matt's at the charlotte airport. Very cool, man. Go to the go north. You'll run into jmac Just go north. He'll be out there on the side of the road. Maddie. What's going on, man? Come in. Have a drink with me Even it all looks like vanguard is currently uh testing a dollar based trading for vg etfs With a small group of clients. Hopefully the ability to buy fractional shares will be nice And that's interesting. I prefer that method of investing I think it's a cool tool within the brokerage account. I think they should allow that Um, I think it's a good way of doing it. All right Don't be like penny wise. I agree Jared's in the house gray got less than a minute here guys to on the uh, the live stream here, man We'll we'll go ahead and we'll start to wind it down. It's a gift at these prices It could be uh, i'll tell you in six months. I'll tell you in a year. I'll tell you in five years Hell, I I don't really care. I I think what's what I what what I've always shaped up and this is the god's honest truth from the beginning Um, I always wanted to invest in a company and this this is a lot of the insight as to why I'm doing I'm not taking a risk here. I'm not What I wanted to do was invest in a company on the ground floor And I wanted to see it all the way through all the way through and for this company all the way through is global All the way through is global multi-distribution Factories we got a long way to go So when people are bitching and complaining and moaning about a six. I'm like I I'm sorry. I'm I'm 10 years ahead of you Okay, I am 10 years ahead of you on what I expected in this deal Now I think for me, it's going to be interesting once I get above 10 12 bucks, man. I'm off I'm off the highly on videos. I'm done. I'll put it on ice I'm good to go because the only remedy at that point will be time It will be eventually it'll go 20 eventually to go 30 40 50 etc Maybe quicker than than than I expect maybe slower than I expect I don't really care But I really want to put the time into this this investment because I've always wanted To find that company that I could take from the ground floor The price was right the initiative was right the the the the company Direction and vision was right The timing and the market was right. Okay, and all that stuff is is good. I it checks all the boxes for me It really does a slight hiccup and delay in supply chain. I can live with that Okay, it does not affect my five and ten year plan with this company. Okay, it'll be a proud day when I can actually review You know the journey that was traveled When we've traveled it okay the irony and the whole thing was we still need to travel the journey It's that simple. Okay. Very cool stuff Highly on will surprise people in the future Yeah, to be validated one company at a time once they start to put the solution in the dominoes will start to fall Customers will start to go to their OEMs And they'll start to basically sell the product themselves. That's what'll happen And the OEM hubs will will will will stand up And they'll be able to roll those off very very simple 98 dollars to highly on on a 250 thousand dollar truck Good to go piece of cake put it into service 10 years total cost ownership I'd like to see the 10 year. I haven't figured it. I only have the figures from highly on for the seven year Tco but pepsi said today that they rotate their fleet about every 10 years So I'd like to see what a 10 year tco looks like and and whether or not highly on can really um Really meet that end on the on the 10 year because the longer it can go the better the tco is for somebody like highly on That can sport a very very low cost of fuel to the uh diesel equivalent It's very very important very important. You can't have one without the other You can't be a 600 000 truck like nicola. This is why I don't own shares in it You can't be a 600 000 truck And also not be cost effective on the fuel side of the house Okay, you can't have both and that the trifecta with nicola is that there's a lack of availability of fuel So it's kind of the trifecta and and and I don't think they have either of the three where highly on has all three They have the total tco. They have the the the initial onset of the truck is reasonable A lot less they pick up more payload Which is something that nobody talks about ever so they pick up more payload over seven years That's only going to become even more attractive Over a 10 year cycle. I think those are all things that are being taken into consideration right now These fleets are smart guys They know what's up and you've got to be able to sit down and you've got to be able to make that value proposition When they're sitting down with them and if nothing else this year in 2021 We're sitting at 600 1690 orders for the erx I don't know how many few hundred hybrid units we're sitting on right now. They anticipated selling 300 I wouldn't be surprised if they've sold it. There's so many fleets out there that have had this thing idealese cat systems Green path logistics The northwest companies. We haven't heard anything about that. It's a bunch of companies viking um CR england a bunch of these companies man have put this product in and if you didn't notice the bump up and the accounts receivable on the last the last balance sheet that was That was submitted on the last q3 earnings It's it's just it just shows that those systems are being debited debited to the balance sheet So good news all the way around. We'll see what it is. I don't know. Maybe it's 58. Fuck. I don't know You know, whatever it is it is. It's all right. It's no big deal. It's all good Very cool stuff. We got some more diamond hands in the house, man I was very cool to see you guys very cool. So we went over a little bit man Matt tipped me 10 bucks So I don't want to cut too much into their time a little bit I want to respect their time. I just enjoy it. I probably go another hour because I'm feeling really good tonight What's up ryan friday? I appreciate the lesson brutal honesty. Yep. You know, I mean it is what it is Um, it's it's a privilege to invest. It's a privilege. Okay Don't ever forget that And if you're bothered by the fluctuation in the market, then just don't invest as much as of your money Say, you know what if I've got 25 000 invested, I'm good to have 10 12 000 in the bank, right? Just set those buffers up for yourself There's always a solution out there. The the the key is to find it. Okay if phenom in the house, absolutely Very cool My alerts no longer was please slap smash.

It's not fun. It's not they don't don't don't ever ever get the sense, man That i'm not human to this deal. Okay, no human being can look at this and be like, wow, this is awesome I don't I look at it and i'm like, okay, again, you know, here it is man I mean boom, let's live to fight it another day man successful people have short memories Um, and and that that is something I don't mean to say I'm a successful person But but I don't I don't dwell on shit. I don't I don't I don't I've made so many mistakes in my life I've gotten really really good at making said mistakes and just moving on with my life. It's okay And and and like my buddy said, you know, david, he's just like a lot of what you do has a lot to do with the timing In life. He said that to me He said it to me on a on a phone conversation not on a comment really resonated with me and it's very very true You know, not only has the success in my life been a lot for timing But a lot of the the the the hang-ups, you know and the barriers I've been also due to timing and that's just life, baby That that's just the way it is sometimes if you expect just a waltz through life and yada yada Lipty-doo and a whipty-doo Right You're never really going to have any true test of of what you're capable of in overcoming barriers, man Put yourself out there a little bit, man. It's all good. You'd be amazed at what you find out about your own capability It's great to see you david. Happy holidays to you my friend Bought some this week. Good stuff, man.

I I really do I just I read between the lines and I'm not trying to be like A highly on or a nickel a bear because I'm a highly on bull. I'm not trying to do that Just doesn't make any sense to me. It doesn't I don't understand why why there's favor there Um, I I don't know why they're not scrutinized on the capability. I watched the entire interview today with the Pepsi deal and tesla Nobody talked about what the truck can do. Nobody talked about what they can payload And I find that odd. I find it suspect I I find that because it was a four-year order and and it's been on the books this long And finally pepsi realized it today 100 truck order. It's good for the business. I get it but but but what is the capability of the truck? What is the charging time? What is pepsi looking to incur for downtime? What are they capable or willing to incur for downtime to Uh to justify a move like that. I'm just interested in to in seeing what they what they have But um, yeah, I did I watched it interesting enough. It's um, it's a good watch, man I'm watching that stuff objectively now. I'm not not looking at it in any other way I just I commented and I said you had the wrong dream What do you know about highly on That's I like blow. It's a good movie Anyway, is a total cop out it could be you just run the risk I mean if it works out and you get to deduct the extra, you know, couple hundred bucks You save a couple hundred bucks For the chance to put, you know, that number of shares on ice and you can't repurchase it and get credit for the hundred dollars Um through the wash rule.
