 All right, fantastic. Welcome back to the independent investor channel who is indeed in the house here Coming through live here on a Friday from New York. That's glad to be back with you guys. I missed the channel I didn't miss some of the extracurricular stuff of social media, but that's not why I do the project Proud to be black back. I'm proud to offer this message and proud to get through to the people That the message is intended for and there are multiple examples on the channel who see the channel for what it is Are able to cut through The the guts and the glory for sure I'm not looking for Your acceptance. I'm not looking for your payment. I do this message on my own accord To share what I think is all too often missing in the evolution of personal finance and wealth building altogether I think all too often we fall subject to groupthink and that is One of those things that I try to empower the audience to understand is that you are neither an institutional investor Nor retail investor for that matter We seek our investment exposure direct to the stock market The stock market hasn't changed and all going on a hundred years It really does have a lot of those similar attributes that it has always had investing 2024 Obviously has its unique challenges and temptations a crypto geopolitical risk here 24 of course every four years we go through the same Political influences that potentially could subject Themselves to influencing markets high interest rates the high cost of goods I can go on and on and on and with that mountain of Dynamic that goes on in the market it Really does require the investor to take a hard look in the mirror and ask themselves what they want to get out of this And that's what I do whether or not I do social media or not is The way I approach financial markets And I share that because I believe a lot of the attributes are Absolutely shareable and absolutely scalable a lot of people get caught up. I think over the last couple weeks I've been on location actually up in the Midwest one of my favorite Places in the United States of America the Great Lakes and thank you for the leave of absence It was a great trip up there, man I didn't look at my social media feed and then I come back and I'm actually tonight was the first night Then I came back on and got to re-engage with some of the awesome people that frequent the independent investor channel as well as review some of the dipshits that also frequent the independent investor channel as well I can only do so much to provide my philosophy through the people who get it will in fact benefit from it For those that don't get it. I provide an open forum most every Friday so you can really dispense with the negative hate on the channel and just come on to the channel and And talk to me directly. I put a direct link to this very live stream that you're saying right now I don't use a teleprompter. I'm very very good about speaking from my mind and my heart And if you want to come on and debate the Python tongue, you're welcome to do so. All right But I speak from a perspective. I'm not looking to entertain you. Okay. I'm not a guitar player who can come on and play rock and roll for you I'm not one of those guys who is Richard Simmons, I'm not gonna jump up and down not gonna get your heart rate up However, when we're talking about personal finance, I know my shit So if you're gonna step into my wheelhouse You better be ready to rock and roll. Okay, because for an hour. Yes an hour 60 minutes I will give you rapid fire What it is that is necessary to make it in this world for those of you who are new to the channel I am from the dirt I'm from the mud. I'm from the country. I Could go back and be just as happy trust me and I guarantee there's people out there that tune in to me and they're like right on man I'm struggling shit. I make 30,000 a year. I how the hell am I supposed to get ahead? I contend that most of this gig and in financial wealth building is much more fundamental much more philosophical and much more psychological in other words, you are your own worst enemy Okay, the second you start blaming social media like me you start blaming Society that you live in you blame the Chinese you blame the Russians Everybody is at fault for your own deficiencies. You're done. You're done You will succumb to the majority of people out there who have failed to realize the importance of taking some personal Responsibility in this life and I hold you accountable and it pisses a lot of people off and that's totally fine Okay, a lot of people will tune off and they'll tune into something else. That's no problem If I get 20 or 30 people who can walk this journey with me. Look if I have to walk the journey independently I have no problem with that. I I don't Talk to talk. I walk to walk. I don't expect you to invest like an institution I don't expect you to be a bitch retail investor and succumb to every wind and and blow like a fart in the wind for every Influence you get. All right, you got to be a little bit tougher I'm trying to build and fortify the community to have a little bit of Backbone, I don't know step up to the plate and approach this thing like you're going to war and it's quite honestly It's fun. That's why I do it. I don't do it because it's not fun Life is awesome. You get one crack at this bitch All right Grab it by the horns and start ripping it around the way you want it to be ripped around Instead of getting pronged in your side and have it rip you where you want to go How many of you guys out there can honestly say that you control your money? I'll wait. I know the answer for me so you can self-deliberate while I have a well-deserved cocktail after a phenomenal week How many could honestly say that? how many of you guys who Feel like you don't have control over your wealth have identified what the What what those stimulus are Is it the amount of debt that you carry and you can't get ahead of it and we can teach you some things there? Have you put the debt the reduction as a priority? Have you put investing in general as a priority? You know, I really do put this in a category of Complete neutrality What I mean by that is if you come with money and you want to step into the independent investor channel I'm gonna hold you to the same scrutiny as somebody who makes twenty five thousand dollars a year Struggling to get by struggling to make the bills because I can tell you what I'm not really into privilege I Suggest that there is a lot of people out there some of the very very best advocates in my community Are ones that you see right there that are leaving their comments They get it and it has nothing to do with any type of privilege It has everything to do with a mental edge everything It has everything to do with your mental edge now There are some things and you have a mental edge like me or like some of these other guys and gals that are putting this mental Edge to work Eventually things will actually start to get easier because you cannot deploy the level of ferocity that I go at this topic and And not start to see some results and generate some churn back behind your heels And you look back and you're like damn. I'm kicking up some dust. This is fantastic. I'm making some moves I'm making some results. I didn't understand Why on the onset of putting this thing in motion? But once you do put it in motion time has a funny way of either getting giving you some level of Satisfaction validation as to why we do what we do and that's the beauty of it Look if I figure I Can't get to a finite goal at some point in my life and before I expire just give the kids Start a program enough to where that momentum picks up and it carries on through the generations, right? I'm already on my way and we just kicked over the six hundred thousand dollar threshold And I didn't even know it. I didn't even know it So the lesson that I share with everybody about whether or not you are a Month-to-month salary earner struggling to get by etc It's a lot harder for you to carve out that twenty five dollars a month that you're going to contribute to a plan I totally get it but One thing is for certain You start to log some serious time under my independent application program You will in fact garner results, okay? You will not succumb to the habits and whims of free tail investors out there Who want to point their bitch-ass finger at everybody else and blame them for their own deficiencies? Most people are just jacked up They're just jacked up in this category Look, I wish y'all the well. I wish I could just Package up some little thing and send it to you with a nice red bow on it Have you open it up and be like holy shit Ryan? Just sent me all the answers. This is fantastic in one page Thank you, Ryan because I have to be able to read it in one minute get all the answers as to how we make sense of this deal No Now this is a lifelong devotion that you really have to sign on to for the right reasons There are folks that you get to rub shoulders with every single Friday that come in here Some most Fridays others not so much. They come in and they go I see Jared in the group. He's one of them Becky I don't see her in the group tonight, but she's one of them She's one of the greatest examples of people that if I was speaking to You Really does convey a level of success that you probably wouldn't have any idea is there Because you expect to see the Mercedes Benz, man You expect to see that white picket fence you expect to see that big obnoxious house That's bigger than everybody else in the neighborhood You expect to see two or three or four cars sitting in the driveway All right, it doesn't matter that you're preppy to the $80,000 of debt that is Contained and secret within the walls of that household It doesn't matter what only matters in this society is the public perception of success It's the only thing that matters. Okay, I don't gain any credence for being debt-free means nothing People would say you're crazy man Ryan. God dang enjoy enjoy your money Ryan. Enjoy your money Yeah Should I do with that $50,000 credit line that I have on my major credit card? I guess I could go buy myself a $50,000 car on a credit card could probably start a business I don't know. I don't carry any debt It's one of those of many Fundamentals that I think if you can get control of you're probably outpacing the masses out there who find it Much more convenient to live in debt than they do to actually have a little bit of spending discipline in their life It lends itself to all the other stuff that we talk about How you can make sense of parlaying some surplus capital? How you can identify look everybody's a good investor right now the market's been on freaking fire Raise your hand tip a glass. Hell, I don't know this. These are the times where I sit back and I'm like, holy crap I'm tentatively monitoring the markets and I'm happy to be alive You know what would be the number that would garner Some level of acknowledgement to the results that I demand over my program Certainly over the last couple of years have played tug-of-war with a couple of speculative stocks highly on being one of them and a duro clean technology, which is the armpit of Most of the scrutiny that I get through the channel Ryan you used to talk about dividend stocks on the channel. What happened. You don't talk about dividend stocks anymore. I Still own all that stuff. Where do you think this makeup of a portfolio comes from it's because it's one of the fundamental Strategies that I adhere to and I deploy and I don't give that away. I go through 24 hours a day seven days a week 12 months a year as an owner Okay Dividend growth strategy just happens to be one of those tried and true attributes and principles that I adhere to in my program Take it if you want. Okay at the end of this deliberation, you'll owe me nothing I will owe you nothing. Okay, and trust me the relationship on social media and the very The very misery that I incur to subject myself to all the Bullshit that I subject myself through on social media is not really worth it. I'm happy. I'm fine in a couple of years I will be a self-made millionaire. How many people out there can say that I'm not an arrogant person I did screw up. I don't believe that the stock market is perfection perfect I think far from it. I think any investor out there is not going to get involved with the stock market And just have this moonshot to to that millionaire status They are going to have their challenges. They're going to overcome those barriers just like I had to All right, but what separates people like me and what separates me from the masses is my ability to carve out an independent approach to this whole gig and that's what we convey on the channel We convey it every Friday become and talk about it. I love it. It's my favorite topic. I dig it. Okay um and for the people who want to suggest that somehow The Speculative companies that I cover I hardly consider a duro clean technology is a speculative company I'm a value investor I think currently a duro clean technology is as is worth starting at minimum 5x from its current levels at minimum maximum valuation now with the revenues just getting Interesting with customer engagement program Would put it at the top into 10x, but I would not have any Any surprise whatsoever to monitor that at 10x no no way There are many many companies that I wouldn't put one dollar in that are valued over a billion dollars A duro is less than a hundred hundred thousand a hundred million It's undiscovered in the marketplace when it gets discovered it's going to go up Um don't hold a grudge I'm fine. I'm up in my investment. I'm fine. I love talking about the company the initiative is great We're not talking about things that kill people micro plastics kill people the duro is looking to solve that problem Right and there will still be detractors to the message There will still be detractors and they just cannot adhere to that Fundamental truth that I'm really trying to get through to people In understanding that it's a lot less about me And a hell of a lot more about you and the way that you apply And the way you stop pointing your fingers and pay an attention to the person that's looking back at you at the Mirror be back with you in just a moment Oh At opening monologue was tough love Hope you enjoyed it If you were able to subject yourself to it and catch a little look. I mean, it's not um It's not out of banks on netflix and Um, it's not the fab 5 on netflix I'm unique There's no doubt about it. If you don't like uniqueness and you like run of the mill. I'm not for you Um, I will grab you by the hair and I will shake you around man. There's no doubt about it So if you don't like it You can go tune into something else. It's all good man Go tune into gram stuff and Graham will Graham will elegantly take you to the promise land. Absolutely He'll tell you everything that's elegantly fantastic about stock market and fasting And you'll reflect on your relationship with gram five years later and your bottom dollar will have not changed a bit Okay, that's an entertainment thing and and i'm not really in it for that. I'm not really in it I'm here to kind of pierce through Provide you guys with the results that I would expect do transcend the audience If I don't believe that there are Results out there that are being enjoyed I'd shut down the independent investor channel all together. That's why I don't quite understand the whole Pump and dump argument. Okay I'm up a truckload in aduro. Aduro is a game changing position for me. It's a life changing position That's what I have chosen to do. I don't hold people's hand into stock investing positions I'm not trying to influence you to do anything. I am sharing with you and conveying what I am doing It's that simple if you want to Seek out your program or even better Deploy those answers that a lot of people out there would suggest to me that they already have Then what the hell do you need me for? If you already know it all go kick that ass I don't care if you want to kick that ass enough to where you can come on and teach the topic Hell come on and learn me up. It's no problem. I think I've got this thing whipped. All right Prove me wrong All right, I've said many many times. I'm 976 and 0 on invitations to retards that come on to the channel and want to challenge me with regard to My investing philosophy or somehow they feel influenced by what I'm talking about or somehow I'm misguiding people. I don't care subscribe unsubscribe from the channel. I could care less. I have no problem with that I love it. I get to come on. I'm not bound by any type of anything that youtube puts in front of me I don't have to do this to put money on the table. I don't have to do it. All right The accounts are crushing we're getting into uncharted territory Just by nature of deploying some of the passive philosophies that I talk about Roth IRA It's very very blasé. We say it. We all know it. We all love it But Roth IRA A lot of the holdings and wealth that I have is tied up in rock. This is the joint investment account with a twist on The diversified position and vdi I've increased that position. It's nice 70 shares I've increased the aduro position in here 12,500 shares 48,500 in that account Roth won this account is crushed Disney finally came out of the doldrums and We discovered again that people do travel to disney to I don't know seeing it's a small world The vanguard's s and p 500 Probably one of the simplest ways to get involved low cost diversified self-managed passive program that you can get your s and p exposure It's half of this portfolio. I own 99 shares It's about 54,000 in that one holding vbk, which is the small cap growth F and on fire. I expect that the russell is going to have a fantastic year in 2024 Don't hold me to it. That's just my projection I typically like to listen to people who know their head from their asshole on c and bc and tom lee Just happens to be one of those guys that actually talks and He gets talked to in a condescending way and that guy knows what he is talking about He's really really good And one of the very few that I really like I like Stephanie link There's a few of them that really they're phenomenal phenomenal investors But The call is for small caps to outperform here in 2024. I agree with that sentiment We're starting to get a little bit of grumblings in the space, which is great should provide a little bit of tailwind In a space that for the last three years has provided nothing but headwind v and q real estate Holden true Pfizer Really terrible position most of value is picking up real estates taking it on the chen Verizon Pfizer jp morgan topped the 200 per share fantastic Named as one of those best financial institutions out there to just own. I own that in two places This is one of those places the others in the dividend portfolio This is my portfolio Very very condensed I own 35 000 shares of duro clean technologies Uh, here we speak right i'm on an island. It's okay. I'm independent right I'm independent on my island man. I'm sitting on my hammock. I'm good Share to the world. Everybody's like yeah, I'm shit. You're crazy. You're crazy. It's a dollar a share It's a dollar a share They suck You suck pump and dumper I don't suck I'll call them I'll come on and I'll be funny fella when I'm animated enough to report out that that 35 000 shares Has materialized when it does hit that top end of my My mark for you guys at 10x. I I think with what they've got going on with the technology And the amount of multi billion dollar companies that they're bringing into the fold with their customer engagement program Is just seconds and on and if you want to continue to ignore it, that's totally fine I don't give a shit what you do with your time or money or or whatever like I said You're not sending me a monthly paycheck. I don't owe you anything Okay, you're not part of a stock investing club with the independence investor channel I tell you how it is and how I wish to convey my message and that's it take it or leave it All right, it cost you nothing to subject yourself to my scathing review of of people in general especially retail investors and how How absolutely idiotic they are with their approach take it or leave it you don't have to do whatever this is business Okay, not forcing you to do anything. This is me. This is this down to the dollar At least as of an hour ago last I checked the market was closed today. It hasn't changed So this is real time. It doesn't need better. You want to define value? I'm giving you this Result report for free of charge through social media. Where else can you find anything free of charge in this life? Jam packed with as much of value as I provide on the channel 11 sectors s and p 500. This has been something that has been long standing on the channel Now Chugging right away. That's good man Chugging right along on this It's awesome Now probably add a little bit more to the technology actually the fundings are flowing into the technology piece to this just because I want to try to replicate a little bit more closely the s and p and not get so spread out even to some of the Lighter sectors in the s and p 500. So we'll continue to embolden the technology. We're almost there It is the largest portion of this 11 sector portfolio But it chugs right along a lot of these even even materials. Hell it does 10 percent a year On an average. I'm happy to do it and this is passive. I don't do anything to it man. I just own it. It's real simple Yeah, yeah trimmed back dividend portfolio $50,000 threshold What can I say whipping some ass? to purchase whipping some ass When it sucks, I tell you it sucks A lot of people come in every friday the last three years and they're like Jesus ryan. He's so negative all the time. No, I'm happy all the time. It doesn't matter With regard to the market. I'll tell you if it sucks in the last three years Minus last year and just here recently picking up steam over the last five months five months Strategically month over month has been up has been nice A lot of the reason why we're rolling right through but 50,000 threshold. That's a good 192 holdings took some profits there Um, the biggest position I added here into this dividend portfolio this week was visa All right We blew right through the six figure mark on this Um for you guys that have followed this uh and just to convey one of the strategic Kind of insights to where I see the market now I am aggressively building to cash I know I know right everything's really good. I got people hitting me up now Markets at an all-time high. I'm ready to invest now, right? I'm I'm ready I'm gonna I'm in it. I'm in It's easy to become an investor at times like this We're trying to separate the gray matter for people and understanding that To be successful in all financial markets is key And the great separator between the pretenders and the realists With investing are those that can make money in all markets Right now. I'm cautiously optimistic of markets. I'm continuing to dollar cost average markets, however, I'm aggressively Building up cash reserves. Um, I'm strategically trimming positions Taking some wonderful profits off of what I consider to be a blue collar portfolio of Of of of what I'm going to declare to you at the end here of where we're at This portfolio is kicking ass I'm super happy Yeah Yeah, here's the sep slowly going up. Obviously not that much in there as uh I don't fund this throughout the year. I don't know what I'm going to do with it Don't really care. It's fine Yeah, I could take the thousand dollars or 1200 dollars or however much is in there and just blow it on a big screen tb Like most of the idiots out there, you know that just can't go one day without blowing thousands of dollars Me I don't really care I get off on going through Multiple phases in my life where I spend very little spend most of my day um Engaging in activities that really don't consume a lot of my network if anything I was in the gym Five days a week this week five full days man in the gym two hours per morning every single morning You're a pump and umper ryan. Yeah, that's all right. I'm a pump and umper. I was in the gym five days this week were you Come with me If you're so bad apps come and show me how awesome you are I'm just kidding. I mean I really don't need any validation from people. It just it just absolutely Dumb founds me on how people justify find value in said activities I spend zero amount of my time focused on the trials and tribulations of others zero I am my biggest critic So if I make a mistake, I'll say something if I'm going through a tough trade I'll convey that Because that's part of the game I don't come on here and convey that I've got all the answers with regard to the right moves to make in the stock market There are fundamentals that you can adhere to That will help limit itself to a positive end. But as far as being immune to mistakes in the stock market Am I the focal point of your mistakes in the stock market? No kidding. I don't remember ever agreeing to that contract, but Yeah, people are funny and fickle. It's all good Um, I had to pull a little bit out of the corporate account to actually to make some room for taxes We'll see how the taxes shake out this year. I'm done. I'm waiting. They're settled out. It's all good Um, probably write a book about it because I'm finding out things about that that is just I don't know man. I think the system is designed to hold people down How many people out there have a hundred percent faith in this current system? Like yep, Ryan. It's perfect. The tax system is perfect. All people pay their fair share How many people honestly feel that way? How many people feel like the stock market is fair? To all people or provides equal opportunity to all people. How many people out there? Don't ask me. I mean, you're gonna get a cynics point of view as far as those rhetorical questions that I throw out there on the live stream Something for you to think about I think it's a damn disaster I think the system is rigged against people and I really do There's the savings amount they're aimed to demonstrate my insistence of building cash now probably around the 80 thousand dollar mark right now Yeah, probably a prudent decision in the face of Financial markets that just less than a half a year ago I'm telling you We were calling for a recession We were calling for the impacts of interest rates rising We were talking about everything going to hell in a hand basket not one person Not one person called this rally not one not one Now i'm not going to sit here and contend that I was calling the market But I was sure buying like the market was due for some level of turnaround and The results speak for themselves How do you sleep at night ryan? What if the stock market crashes? I'm 46 years old if over the last 46 years of my life. I succumbed to that rationale I wouldn't come on to youtube and project That i'm closing in i mean i'm i'm over the grid of 500 000 threshold I'm at 10 threshold 10 of 11. There's 11 thresholds to one million dollars I'm at threshold 10 comprehensive total amount in the portfolio That's incredible Not everybody achieves these levels of results the question for you is What did I do to achieve these results? What are the fundamentals that I? Insist or scalable if I got lucky guys and I won the lottery and I said hey, I've just won 594 537 dollars What does that mean to you? Okay, it means nothing. There's no merit. There's no basis to it whatsoever It does no good to come on and try to articulate how it is that somebody who has zero Can somehow aspire to some level of wealth in their life if I come on and I'm just like just do what I did Just win the lottery Full well-knowing that very very few people will actually incur that level of just pure lock pure lock The misery of the whole thing is I honestly believe that a lot of people do in fact rely on lock And when that lock doesn't work out for them, they are angry at the system. They are angry at Ryan with the independent investor channel for his pump and dump schemology and his insistence on Jamming these stocks down your throat that just I just wish god dang it He'd stop doing that because I just keep buying them and I keep on losing money It's all his fault son of a bitch He just as well might have hit the buy button for me that bastard People are nuts, baby. People are nuts I say hi to some folks man. Very cool stuff. I just pulled the last comment. I didn't read it I feel like a fool. I was told all my life to do the right thing I would get the wealth of those in my age now. I'm here and can't beat the system It's a badass comment You're not the only one you you kind of codify in one statement The frustration that people feel about How to how to beat the system? I'm here to tell you my brother and don't take this the wrong way man The system as you describe is unbeatable However, it is Participatable Okay We participate in financial markets All right We break we break ourselves down in a way that puts us in a spending category that is atypical Of others your peers your family your friends. Whatever it is man All right, we separate from that I think a lot of people operate and this is another knock on retail investors a lot of people operate from a sense of entitlement Okay, they start at like a $30,000 threshold of I'm do this money Look, if you can break yourself down and start with zero Now you're talking my language. Okay Stop with this entitlement bullshit. It pisses me off. It's crazy The way people think that they are entitled to information. I see mary eush in here Mary eush provides information Okay, he he gives enough through the free channel Right, but that information is free of charge, man Okay, but you are not entitled to that information You have to be made preppy to the information Okay Beating the system that you can't do that There there's only one way that I convey right wrong or indifferent on the channel that you can participate in the system Over the long term and win out in the system Okay Now now the game that myself mary eush and others do participate in Is just a lot different to the game that I contend that a lot of people Don't need to play with okay because I believe That we live in a world Where there are companies out there trying to do the right thing Trying to do the right thing. I believe in my ability to judge people based on their character Their merit their initiative whatever am I perfect in that? No, I'm not but How much of that insight do you need to invest in let's say the smp 500 You're not outsmarting the market all you're doing is buying into a statistical historical track record Of 10% rate of return per year, etc Game it out 20 30 years. You have an idea of what you're shooting for down the line Okay My program is very very simple for people to understand and that is to seek out Market participation with the idea of not beating the market Rather meeting the market I think by pursuing meeting the market People will hit their goal far too far more than those people who try to beat the market and unfortunately Pace the market Okay, it's awesome brother. Thank you for coming in. I really appreciate it. I do want I just saw mar use when I put that up there um I appreciate his time. Uh, he's a busy man. He does a lot of research I just appreciate the hell out of him what he does He's very matter of fact, which I like because I'm similar in that Never met the guy in person Um, I think that's inevitable at some point in our futures But until then he will be one of those that have been brought into the fold As far as my network of people that I hold in very very high regard with regard to his investing intelligence To have the perspective to understand what game you are getting involved with prior to getting involved in that game Okay And for a lot of people out there, man I think a lot of people overshoot their capability In playing a game that they are not prepared to play he says pump and dump pump as a stock You don't own and didn't do any work on so I've said this before And I totally agree. He knows he gets hate through the channel too and it's like a blah blah blah You know a pump and dump as he suggests is one that I would come on and say Buy buy buy this stock at all costs. It's going to the moon and I own the shares and then by nature of public disclosure Okay, I go on there on that hype and I sell out of the stock. Okay I've conveyed that I've had one stock sale in aduro over the last two years of owning the stock For a repositioning and a tax acknowledgement It was a very very calm very very deliberate Stock sale. I hated to do it and since then I've added the shares back in threefold right I really think we need to get over this like kindergarten mentality of stock information and until we can I am going to dub you a dipshit retail investor All day. Okay. If you can meet my upper echelon of investing intelligence great But not a lot of people will Because they fail to understand the psychology and fundamentals that it takes to look at an opportunity from a value perspective And and and own a company based on value that value can come in the speculative bucket Which people want to dub a duro clean technology is a speculative company. It's not It's not The value is already there the company is already there the roadmap is already set All of these very very capable people at the upper management with a duro clean technology All they have to do is walk the well-laid road It's done It's done. It will fall on their ability to execute along that already laid road That's it Okay There's value in that road and if you want to come to me and you want to try to suggest that somehow I'm the one who's off base for deeming a duro clean technology is undervalued at 70 million dollars You're entitled to your opinion. I'm just going to dub you wrong. That's it. That's it Who's wrong in the end? Results will speak to that. I don't know. I'm not a fortune teller I don't come on with my crystal ball every friday and give you guys my forecast of where stock is going to go All you can do is use your ability your mental ability to put a b and c together And give your best educated guess as to where you think the direction of stock is going to go. That's it. All right with With the understanding that you can lose You can lose Okay, if it's not a game that you're Interested in playing then don't play the game. I wish you all the best I don't wish ill will on people Okay, I wish that my message would not get misconstrued and so far as people think that they Need to be motivated by my message to go and just trip and fall into a stock that they are ill prepared to own I'm sorry that this is social media Okay, people will get excited by the fact that I come on and I talk about certain things They'll buy the stock. They'll be ill prepared to do a stock adjust back 10 percent They sell it a loss. They're pissed off at me for the rest of their life Okay, these are some of the attributes that I talk about that are really unacceptable amongst the investor crowd the retail investor crowd I think man alive that we can really really We can step into a better place as a community. I really do I think we can truly look at a guy like maryou. She's trying to push out a message Which his channel actually has grown it's been nice for me to monitor that Because when I first started following maryou, she had a couple of thousand subscribers And I think there's enough people out there that that get it Okay, if they want to get it even more they do get it they can actually elevate their exposure to the full portfolio of research that he does within microcap explosions, but I just respect the man's work and that in at the end of the day. He's he doesn't expect anything from me I don't expect anything from him. Okay. I'm already thankful Okay, I didn't break the aduro story. It was brought to me. They called me up and said hey ryan You should look at this. I looked at it and I was like, holy hell It was everything I could do to rip into the stock right before the game change your news And we are still anxiously waiting with baited breath as for what's going to come out of the game changer program And if you guys think for a second that this company cannot 5x and re-rate Within the course of a couple of days Then you haven't been following financial markets with any type of understanding about how powerful financial markets are and the the the ability of good information to move and underloved And under appreciate and quite frankly and under know an unknown company like aduro Um up in closer to that fair value very valuation And that's must be a lot man Take it for what you will. Okay. I hell I could be totally wrong shit We'll see I'm not one to come on and say see I told you so That the the game that I play is one that I understand inside and out It I've said it many times. It doesn't make me any better of a person. Okay My portfolio size does not reflect who I am as a person It I've said it thousands of times. It doesn't make my genitalia bigger bigger. Okay, it doesn't All right, you'll come on and you'll deem me a stock picker Oh my goodness Ryan you're a millionaire because you did this and that and this and that Actually, it was referred to me and I just appreciate on the grassroots level It being recommended to me. That's all because I looked at it Sounds like shit that this is incredible. This is a life changing deal that I'm glad was brought to my attention In a in a nutshell, that's it. Do I Manifest over it every day. No, I don't Because I know inevitably my first look in the company probably comes somewhere around the 26 or 27 mark Very cool One of the guys you get to rub shoulders with every friday rub them shoulders chris You know one of these guys have been forever thankful for for our relationship over social media Again a guy that I have never met in person. However He has sent me a couple of gifts through mail um the greatest maple syrup that I've ever had in my life and Some of the hottest salsa that I have ever hottest hot sauce I have ever tried in my entire life chris. It lit me up. I thought my I thought my hair Was truly on fire And I tried that I just appreciate the hell out of you man. I all the best to you and family and I hope all is well here In 2020 2024 man Very cool stuff Cousin up to the top here get in daniel was the first in the group here. Awesome stuff And jared's one of those guys that I hold in the highest regard he goes into that category of some of the people that um I really think that people need to take a couple of seconds and just look at and Listen to what I'm saying because I'm conveying back to you How much these people mean to me? Becky's one of those people Becky's one of those people that I have talked to through social media and Probably one of the nicest people that I've talked about but as far as investing goes She is a viper If I could just take a piece of her application and spread it out across Retail investors that I've been given some pretty tough love to I would do it. She gets it A lot of people out there are their own worst enemy when it comes to successful stock market investing Um, she reminds me of me I don't come from privilege. I come from hard work Every dollar counts Every dollar every position every everything that I do every decision that I make has to have some thought behind it Okay She operates along those same premises and it's great because she kind of codifies What it is that I speak about with regard to uh pursuing A fundamental philosophy About applying your program and it just works It just works You don't have to delve in the stuff that I talk about On in the big leagues Okay a duro is in the big leagues Okay, if you think you're a big league player Then be a big league player But do not come to me and complain that you are scared or You lost a few hundred dollars or even a few thousand dollars and you're pissed off about it I have news for you. You're not a big league player. Okay Let it go Go back and start with the basic building blocks of investings Why am I telling you this because of stuff that I do myself? Okay, I never surrendered dividend investing to somehow sell out and put all of my portfolio into A company that's not my way. It's not my way Okay, you're getting to rub shoulders with a multi-millionaire tonight. Okay, who I've highlighted on the channel That's awesome Ah, send you bill after the live stream, right? No. No these folks they come in here willingly To share in the discussion And really try to separate what it is that works and what doesn't work Okay The best channel live I agree I agree I put out content that I would be just as excited to sit and watch myself and Outside of myself and Mariush We're I Me and him are the only two channels that I can That I watch anymore. No offense to some of my other feature channels But most people just do not just do not make it for me Um, I I don't have time to sit there and waste my time I'm much more matter of fact. There was a phenomenal video that was a released on aduro That I watched it just blew me away The exposure has got to be through the roof. I think there was a thousand likes on the video And I watched it and I was like, oh my god, I felt inclined to go buy more shares because he did such a phenomenal job of covering Why it is so important to Take note of this opportunity I don't have the ability to do that I will come on Provide you the exact same ticker symbol that that member provided The exact same company name The drop point for information and at the end of the day The opportunity that exists with that 500 000 subscriber creator And a 30 000 subscriber creator like myself is in essence the same It's really how you take that opportunity and leverage it for the future. That's it Um, I had a goal of 25 000 shares of aduro clean technology I ended up with 77 500 And that fails in comparison to some of the other cats that I know right now Who are sitting on some phenomenal share positions in that company? And all they've got to do is wait and it's going to be fun to watch them And I'm going to shake their hand and say great job because You know your your positions and your positioning and your your your share Count and and how you deploy your strategy has got to be independent of what it is that Has got to be reflective of what you do Independent of what others do You okay, and for me, I'm super stoked that I'm over 3x my originally projected position And I'm I feel blessed that I've been brought to the opportunity. Absolutely very cool stuff I met your dates on the house Started in 1980 by utility stocks. We're investing dividends for tax-free then awesome, man Now metro dates awesome is always contributing to the live stream here, and I just appreciate you. I really do Like-minded Ah, yeah, like-minded. Hey, I would challenge that and say we all think differently Um, I'd like to suggest that the like-mindedness that you speak of it is in way of our application The way we think edgy don't apologize for how you think independent of How it is that you're supposed to execute along this this road to prosperity. Okay Most of the commonplace or status quo roads are going to end you up Leaving you cold wet and hungry naked on the side of the freaking road Trembling wondering what the hell went wrong. It's because you didn't learn to think for yourself I don't know if it's stupidity or a Conveniently naive Yeah, I mean I can deal with people who are not and I'm not I'm not one of the most intelligent people I Work with people who blow me away with your intelligence. You're one of them. There's other people just blow me away with their intelligence phenomenal But but it truly is Taking the best attributes that you have Putting those attributes to work for the for the common good Um, I think people who are stupid can succeed in stock market investing They just have to align what it is that can work for them Stay within their program stay within their wheelie house not overextend and be patient Stock market investing. That's the thing. I love about it is it just doesn't It doesn't benefit the people that you think it should benefit No, no, it does not Um, it does not make the wealthy wealthier. Okay Um, it can provide opportunity to those without wealth And it can take wealth from people who have too much of it And that's the god honest truth. If you look at the statistics, it's glaring Um, it does not really matter your ability to come from nothing to something in way of wealth And then pass it on to let's say an error Um, 95 percent of the time that wealth will be what will will be wasted 95 percent of the time How is that possible that somebody takes on wealth that they did not have to work for and they lose it all? How is that possible? Things to think about things to challenge and deliberate on As we talk about this tricky money topic. No doubt about it. I think money earned Is just as good as money that is appreciated. Mm-hmm thoughts on highlight Nikola Tesla. Jesus I don't I don't have anything on either one of those companies Nikola's going to the moon They've got 800 employees They're seemingly making a product. I don't know how hungry The industry is or how big the appetite is for Nikola or hyzon's product Tesla with their electronic electric semi truck. I just don't know I can't gauge that because I was covering highly on for a long long time Still own a small token position in the company to the tune of about 3500 shares But I I'm about as unclear about the direction of highly on specifically as I am on any of those companies right now I don't know The you see that's the thing is that the market Pulse can move from certain things to others and now we're on AI We've moved on People are not talking about this anymore, right and you certainly do not want to be on the wrong end of that trade Um, I I think the next wave that we should be talking about less about AI and more about their Plastic recycling problem Puts the focus squarely on the stock that I'm the most bullish on right now and that's a duro clean technologies Right very cool stuff This says 10 i'm holding a duro for 10 to 15 years Interesting you say that daniel I think the maximum profits in this company will probably be realized by nature of deploying That very philosophy right there and with 30 seconds left in the live stream That's an awesome awesome comment to really codify. Look if I take this thing to ten dollars This will put me at Self-made millionaire status health healthy. Will I sell the stock? No, because i'm investing in the stock now for what I feel the company is going to be in 20 27 I'll reevaluate where I think we are in 20 26 27 And the direction of the company. I think it's bought out that that will kind of drive my decision Um, but I think the best is yet to come and I I really want to see this company Fire in a way We're in first gear right now. I want to see what a duro can do in sixth gear I want to see Mina bache Given the opportunity to run this company financially the way that I think he can I'd like to see ofer Uh formulate a strategic vision for this company in the way that I think that he can Um, I'd like to see eric appleman Provide the insights to that upper management the way that I think that he can And I think that that is going to incrementally add to the value proposition to a duro or ultra long And I'm not talking about 26 27. I'm talking to your comment Where where this company could potentially be 20 30 40 billion dollar company down the line If in fact they can really follow along this Licensing model that they have their ability to Leverage their technology with existing companies that are hungry and are willing to build the infrastructure in place to accommodate The the amount of metric tons that they want to process a date. This is just makes sense to me Um, and it just has to play out. Okay Your ability to hold the stock should be the easy thing to do If in fact you as a very very simple prudent investor sit back and say A duro is the company we that we always thought it would Look at how they're leveraging their technology and look at their potential to grow Into such a phenomenal total addressable market, which is the plastic recycling Industry and I'm willing to sit. I'm an investor. Okay. I'm willing to sit on a position But we will convey those thoughts Going forward as they happen over time and um, you know, hopefully we Hopefully we get that You know that Validation it'll be easier to report out on the company when it's at least at a low end of the valuation scale that I speak about At five or six dollars. I think the company deserves that as of six months ago I I think the company now sitting on the amount of de-risking is actually cheaper Then what it was two years ago when I started dabbling into the stock, right? But uh, I just want to close it down by um, thanking you guys for the latitude. I've been On location. That's why there hasn't been a lot of content On the channel.
