 We are back live here on the independent investor channel. Welcome back to all the community members who have been So devoted to this movement and message over the over the years my message is Significantly different than the rest honestly This whole YouTube thing is an interesting way to bring people together. No doubt about it. Certainly not from my glory Okay, if you expect to come in here and sit down and have me deliver The glory and exactly how you need to live your life. You're in the wrong spot. I Give all that stuff back. I don't care one one bit about it. I'm super proud of proud of the project I was super proud of doing YouTube five years ago when I started and This project has just evolved over time. It's become a significant part of what I look forward to Completely genuine nothing manufactured on the independent investor channel live stream. I look forward to coming in really taking a pause to What I deploy week to week is is pretty engaging. I spend a lot of time looking at financial markets I spend a lot of time monitoring the portfolio. I spend a lot of time monitoring the landscape what's going on and It's for reasons like what Rebecca has declared here to the group meeting a milestone here in less than six I I remember when she made the six-figure milestone, which is Up there with one of the biggest ones, you know because You know a hundred a hundred thousand dollars is just a significant amount of wealth for for somebody who works a blue-collar job And she will take no offense to that and I wanted to give her a shout out At the beginning of the live stream because she may be caught up in some work detail there But for sure all the salute out to all the veterans out there this week, certainly Make sure that you take time and remember You know all the people that sacrifice and are continuing to sacrifice the opportunities That are made possible Here in this great country and abroad as well a lot of wonderful people and Rebecca's one of them Certainly tip my hat to the frontline workers out there Firefighters law enforcement and health care workers alike who I lump right in there as being right on the front lines Fighting fighting right now and it's been a crazy couple years and a lot to be thankful for there's no doubt about it but if you guys are a Veteran and I've got Bob in the group here and I've got mr. Tanks here in the group is who's my brother? Oh, and and shipmate you guys can absolutely, please please stand up and be be recognized and just put your veteran status in the thread here and There'll be folks like myself who will take and randomly selectively call you guys out and give you the you do Acknowledgement, but I want to make sure that we acknowledge that Thursday's coming around and It's just been an on fire week in the market. It's just been an absolutely fantastic Time to be an investor or I've said that many many times over so if I can apart to anybody out there that's you know Coming new to the investing game That's why I put those testimonials up there. It doesn't need to be me all the time coming on and and professing About you know the opportunity that exists within investing It carries more weight if we can put those testimonials in the group here and show how people are making thresholds that's just incredible and I would venture to guess and I don't want to speak for Rebecca I don't but I would venture to guess that had the decision not been made to invest However, many years ago. She decided to embark on this journey There wouldn't have been that level of wealth that money would have been it would have been dissolved away in other avenues And what where people just make that conscious choice just to step up and sometimes it takes that Revelation for yourself or looking in the mirror and saying I can And and embarking on that journey and and really using your free will to change the trajectory of your life That that's going to be some of the things that I jotted down for you guys as an ambassador of this message somebody who In the next coming years as we evolve with the independent investor channel opportunity It's becoming a staunch realization to me that we're Knocking on the door here to millionaire status within the next few years. It's inevitable. It's gonna happen Don't hold a grudge You'll get the same on re tea drink and Ryan on every live stream I will not stop this project once millionaire status is reached I think it'll be just an acknowledgement for me And then a quick how are we gonna leverage this and and how are we going to scale up? Getting this message that I believe so hard to wholeheartedly in to the masses Because I think it is scalable and what I mean by that is the ability to change the trajectory of your life just be by saying I can and The stock market is easy it is Refute a lot of different ideas out there about I can't do it Ryan You know, I don't have the wherewithal to do it. I can't do it I'm you know, and I find that in a lot of cases a lot of people get it They can step right into the investing gig and I just opened my eyes and I'm like, yeah, you bet you Get it you get the very very simple steps here your focus is where it needs to be okay it's not following the the YouTube audience blindly and just falling into a false pretense of a message from somebody who I Hate to break it to you guys and for the 43 people in here who are interested in a truth bomb We're just regular people Graham Stephan. There's nothing special about him Nothing Jeremy with financial education now He self-induces himself as a God. There's nothing special about these people It's a matter of fact I watch him sometimes and I actually feel sorry for him Because it seems like they're mixed up in this whole like YouTube thing and putting on a show for everybody else You will not get that from me. I refuse to come on and put on a show I do this my way and it will continue to be my way Because there's only one of me Just like there's only one of you and I think the real secret to personal wealth is getting over The multitude of personal barriers if in fact you haven't people like myself if you sit down with me I can kind of help you Identify some of those personal barriers for yourself man. There's so many Beautiful people out there man just killer killer people But if they could just get out of their own way and drop a few things that they think they understand about money They'd be so much better off. Just just listen It's gonna feel weird because it's gonna be contrary to those boundaries that are very very real If it were that easy Everybody would just step right in and and hit the ground running and validate this stuff for themselves Okay, it's not that easy for a lot of people Okay, but you have to have conviction about why you do this You have to get over your constant inability to give yourself a fighting chance by saying I can in this life Transcends investing Investing is one of those things that you can be a complete disaster in and you can succeed as an investor I just think the holistic element to the message that we put out through the independent investor channel is To make sure we're striving toward all elements of life in no matter what capacity What is going to be good for an all-good in the group here a very very simple moment? Sitting down on a Friday with a live stream with a cup of coffee and chilling out for the evening Though those those elements of peace and those elements of things that we look forward to in our life Whatever it may be It's to extrapolate the beauty in each one of those different things Interactions that we do activities that we engage in you know purchases that we could make maybe potentially make for ourselves But it's all good, baby as this week of reflection comes around. I just want to welcome everybody to the group It's just been an absolutely fabulous week for me if you can tell I'm Fired up, baby. Yeah, I've got the fire burning Got the diesel engine working on all cylinders tonight Absolutely ready to deliver the goods to you guys for the independent investor channel live stream the fastest fastest 60 minutes on YouTube note about no doubt about it like to welcome everybody to the group You know this week and they said Ryan you're a weird guy And I I sit back now and I'm like a rhino on social media You got to have tough skin on social media because you've got some people come on that just straight-up hate you They don't have any idea of if they knew me they would like me. I'm a good guy. I've saved two lives in my life I'm a good guy like I will be that guy that saves your ass Even though me and you are at each other's throat the night before that's a true story from the fishing boat But this is your weird guy But they sat back up off of it and I was like How the hell you know that you just watch one live stream them I think I speak pretty good English I think my word is conveyed pretty well, but Yeah, I am I Embrace the idea of being different in my application and I actually relish in it and Where I think a lot of people are too careful to say the right thing all the time I glass that shit out of water man. I love ruffling feathers. I love it I love kind of laughing in the back of my head as to what I see how people try so hard To fit in it keeping up with the Joneses is the funniest thing For the totality of my life I've never understood that like if if you guys knew where I came from and the neighbors must have saw us when We were kids man sneaking down to the pond and you know skinny dipping in the pond and stuff and thinking we're hiding from everybody But man, we were hot. It was a hundred degrees man And we don't we don't have a swimming pool only rich people have swimming pools But I got a pond and the frogs don't really care, you know, it's kind of it's kind of muddy on the bottom and stuff But man is it refreshing? You know I'm saying but Yeah, I'm a weird guy as I would never trade my roots for nothing, you know Because you get out and you feel refreshed you down there buck naked, you know Killing the bees, you know with the mud patties. I mean, this is me real talk, baby This is me and my brothers. So I appreciate the comment to you guys point me out as one of those weird guys I appreciate that I I don't watch a lot of content online because and I don't watch TV anymore Because nobody has the ability to come on and just talk like I'm talking everything has to be scripted and you know, I have to say the right thing or the politically correct thing and I just don't like that at all. I like to challenge the status quo in most capacities I do and where I see things arrive, especially along the financial Avenue for a lot of people people look at the opportunity and what do they see? I sometimes try to put myself in the lens of a new investor and and try to ask myself What is it? What is it that they see? Well, they probably saw a lot of what I saw Which is why this long and winding road for me has got me closing in on $550,000 of net worth and like I said, we'll be a couple years away from that million dollar mark There's no doubt about it like Rebecca talked about surpassing that hundred and getting up to the hundred and a half that quick in six months It really just goes to show how powerful a passive element of your portfolio can be with a conducive market Markets can be up and down. I saw fabulous Instagram posts that talked about had you invested during the worst times of the S&P 500 You still would have rendered an 8% rate of return So just an incredible opportunity there to not chalk up investing as being gambling, you know Get out of your own way as far as what you think you know about the markets I do this all the time all the time with my own application with my own strategy Where I didn't think something that I was gonna do two years ago I End up maybe come into a round turn because I don't I want to grow wealth I'm looking at wealth building and I'm becoming a lot more aggressive with taking opportunity In the market guys, so let's roll out the portfolios were up 20,000 week over week Was a really good week for us. It's been a really and when I when it when things are down I Think the gallery appreciates my transparency and coming on and sharing My feeling and pulse about the market whether or not I feel like it's you know so-so where I thought last year 2020 was just an absolute gang buster year for me as of late It's turned on quite nicely and we're starting to get some respectable action going on here Healthy above six one oh four thirty three in the joint brokerage account This has an element of strategy to it In that I've got some large cap technology growth with Google and Amazon discretionary of course in telecom, but Certainly some large cap growth some value in the portfolio With some industrials play aerospace with LMT and Boeing AT&T has just been a bastard this year. No doubt very disappointing holding Hylion's been on fire up 20% here week over week and as this Holding starts to materialize fantastic news today about the first stop at Wegmans on their validation tour across the US using the hyper truck Intervation council. I typically try to keep the Hylion discussion to a minimum doing during a live stream But it is an enormous position in my portfolio I own 12,000 shares of the company so it is worth earmarking and mentioning and you guys might think man, right? That's stupid or get you're crazy or gosh Ryan. You're different Jesus, I've heard that before right Here's what I want you to think about that. I want you to think about this Look at this guy who used to kill bees with mud patties Buck naked is the freaking J bird down at the pond skinny dip and look at him now Beat me odds beat in the odds It's got the ability from a retail perspective to put a hundred thousand dollars Down on a company that I have a hundred percent conviction on this will just take time The last couple weeks have been great validation that we have earnings in four days lovely enough This is a five-year plus play and I honestly might get just sickishly crazy And throw a complete curve ball into this trade here and keep it ultra long We'll see what happens, but I've got my first benchmark that set for the stock and Unlike the fish who I covered in the timing downgrade He's got his ass whipped and had his ass handed to him since that downgrade stocks up 20 percent since then So a good job fish wait up the way to live up to your reputation as a subpar Analyst really appreciate your contributions to highly on the last couple weeks Like my hat goes off to you from the independent investor Specifically me and the grander community of highly on airs out there really appreciate that but anyway 97 3 On the stock to cash allocation here. Here's the Roth Fantastic 126 doing great realty income whipping some ass Everything's whipping some ass that like I said the week was enormous. We were up week over week in this portfolio Handily not incrementally. This was a handily a very good week My S&P 500 position is just incredible that VOO is such a powerful asset And for you guys out there that think I can't That's the I can right there VOO. That's the skeleton key to entry into the stock market is done the S&P 500 It's an asset that you could own this year It's an asset that you could own in five years ten years and 20. Why? Because you know that Vanguard is going to passively get you the Alignment to the S&P 500 with that exposure as the S&P evolves and changes over time So it's always going to ensure that you have that Exposure to the S&P with an anemic expense point zero three over this fund It is the skeleton key. I feel like to the market missing out on some small cap I do supplement it with the VBK, which is a small cap growth VNQ real estate to supplement the O holding but real estate REIT as well It's a nice ETF specialty ETF. They're just to own the whole sector and throw it in the Roth I like it. It's a cool way of investing. So here's the Roth to here's me I swung trade Matterport this week like a champ that I am I'm back on my horse again It's nice because I felt like everything I touched turned a dog shit this year So it was nice to actually prove to myself that I could actually make money Doing what it is that I really like to do and that's swing trade so I've been on a hot streak with Google I'm in the shares long now I added back in with some of the profits there right some house money profits roll back into Google So that's the four-share position in Google nothing crazy, but man. I'm a retail investor That's a $10,000 bill, you know for a lot of new investors out there You still need to get up to your first 10,000 started the Weeble account this week started Robin Hood I've been real down on both of those but for cash accounts. I wanted to become more familiar with them initiated a mid cap strategy and Robin Hood And initiated a growth strategy within Weeble and it's more exploratory for me We'll be checking out the platforms. We'll be rolling those out through Affiliate links through the channel. Why not eff it? I'm kind of back on this whole like I'm gonna do it my way I'm not I'm gonna try not to get get in my own way now if I like it by work through the product And I don't like it no problem. I'll throw it in the gutter go buy another it's no big deal Not a problem at all, but I do want to explore some of these these brokers that I have not been using and It deploys some strategic technique get those up to 10,000 just like I have on the other ones The other ones are approaching other sizable financial goals. I mean the dividend growth is Pursuing that $50,000 mark next because in two years, we've already ran right through the $10,000 mark We've already just surpassed the $25,000 mark. So next in the financial threshold will be That that $50,000 mark here. So and here's the vanguards portfolio This is the the little passive portfolio that could in M1 finance This whip and some ass not gonna apologize for this Again to come in and celebrate success. Great. You can borrow mine. It can have it shit I I'm very proud of this just like I'm just as proud as Rebecca that the success Transcends all people you want to grab a little bit put it in a bottle for yourself No doubt about it. Do it. It's no problem Success needs to permeate the group and needs to be understood that others can enjoy success as well in whatever Capacity that they can remember getting over the barriers. All right You're like if this buck naked fella that goes skinny dipping in the pond and kills bees for a living growing up That that's his level of education can do it. So can I You're not far from the truth. Okay, nothing that I do is that special except for I am Intimately Involved with my program Intimately, I just love this shit. I love it and I think more people should love it Why because for the very very people that actually should embrace the investing opportunity as if their life depend on it I think most of the people disappoint me in so far as their level of aggressiveness and Willingness to pursue is not there you want to know what the great separator is between people with wealth and those without The people with are willing to pursue those without are willing to and be content with being blasé That's the great divide. So just ask yourself in what capacity now I'm not saying you have to work with the same energy as me. Okay Some people may look at me and be like you're weird Ryan you work on a different level. I do Some may chalk it up as a curse. I don't know. I like myself. I like that how You know, how much things mean to me? Because I've been beat down. I've been through bad times times where I could say alright I'm flirting with depression here. This is not cool. This is not cool So when you swing so far on the other end of the spectrum you define for yourself What it is that you're capable of taking on in this life and they can dole it out Anybody out there is going to agree with me on that. Nobody out there Just has rose petals throw it at their feet all the everywhere they walk a lot of people have gone through hard times Totally fine. It's how you bounce back from it and say I can okay So we're almost to the $20,000 mark on this. This is a portfolio that just has not been touched This is just over two years. We've owned this portfolio since December of 2019. I chronicle these on The the channel every now and then occasionally. I've obviously digressed a little bit The only product that I put through on the independent investor channel and thank you There were 20 people who popped into those promotional contents and click the thumbs up button for me If you left a comment that means the world to me that helps support the message I get paid a shit ton of money to do those and I will continue to do those me and Elaine gi. He's my boy now Okay, I'm interviewing him on Monday. You're gonna want to catch that interview That company is incredible Okay, where you always talked about you know in all the gangster movies having an offshore bank account in in Switzerland Well, they take people's data and they secure it in accordance with the Swiss rules of engagement with regard to people's protection and Privacy data laws. Okay, here in the United States. We give away the farm and bastardized people's Personal privacy and we as Americans just willy-nilly give it away all the time. I'm guilty of it through social media We just give away the farm man and people take and they farm that data And they sell it to people and they make huge money off of it So the company globe X that I previewed this week very very exciting I'm super stoked to talk to the CEO and it also changes it up at a little bit from the the normal genre of Precious metals which you know, I'll do the content because I love the precious metal space I'm just not a big fan of the junior mining space from an investment perspective. That's just my opinion, right? But when I do Chronicle the companies, it's a lot of fun for me. So appreciate the support on that man I mean no big deal the stocks up what ten percent in five days. No big deal, right? I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I had somebody that was coming on. It was they were trolling the message, too I invited him on the live stream come on and tell me how much of an asshole I am and how I should be transparent and showing my accounts and I was like I do that like Everything everything you see here down to the dollar is accurate. That's my that's my deal. That's my gig Okay And it's amazing how it's never enough for people over social media and that's why I don't apologize That's why I come on and I say yeah, I have kind of a like who gives an F I really don't anymore Because I know that for people that are listening to this message and they're like hey Ryan Can you get back to the I can stuff because I need somebody to tell me what I can do Because I just need a little bit of encouragement and if this doesn't give you any motivation It should man. It really should Here's the 80s stock is 79 holdings exactly just surpassed the $25,000 mark This for you guys have been with me a long long time This was a growth portfolio that I had for a while. I've transitioned it to the ARC portfolio For just a small bit maybe a month or so and then I thought better of it Transitioned it to the dividend growth strategy one of the best moves. I've ever made in the portfolio And it's chugging right along just fine too. We got the TSP here TSP is up of over 60 So we'll be approaching that hundred thousands the next threshold in this I just remember a couple months ago hitting the $50,000 mark. This is one that I'm aggressively funding up and I've got an earmarked value over this of about a quarter million dollars by the time I'm retired That'll be a nice little a nice little deal here. Here's the new account 1033. I have VG and so the vanguards growth We'll chronicle this we'll grow it and it'll be great to see it You multiple accounts now. I've got up to $10,000 But it's nice to chronicle those on the channel and just show you how possible it is because a lot of people out There need that barrier of entry broken down for them and getting to that first $10,000 can be a huge milestone for each and everybody and then we bull which I actually love the platform a lot more bought VB, which is the Excuse me. I actually it's the VO my apologies there VB is the small cap mix with vanguard It's actually VO that I have which is the mid cap Grouping in it with vanguard. So this would be my mid cap strategy here I trust capital reinvigorated this I actually put 30 bucks into shibu unu just to say that I did shiitake yumu for all you home gamers out there But 57 in the Bitcoin 42 85. This was a double up in the I trust capital This is a cryptocurrency Roth IRA. You want more information on it? Check it out on the channel. That's fine I am gonna keep the affiliate program because there has been some interest Shibu shiba shiba unu Shiba Ina that the cute dog is now available on On I trust capital. It was just named the broker of the year in 2021 For cryptocurrency. So good on them for doing what they're doing if shiba inu makes me a ton of money. I think I bought 500,000 shares of it for 30 bucks or something today just for fun Have a little fun why it's 30 bucks a guy is good grief, you know what I'm saying Some of you guys spend more of that in one trip to Starbucks. I figured I'd buy some shibu inu inu I'll probably lose it all but who knows so but anyway, yeah independent smiling 543 470 We will get we will get to our million dollar mark and you know, man I think back on some of the comments that I've got about the world going to hell and Ryan you invest your crazy the government's ruining everything and if you can just ignore some of that noise and Identify how windy this road has been for me I can't impart to you on a 60-minute live stream But that's why this topic is it really endless for me because I can't Stop to tell you how much progress we've made just in the last few years And it should speak to the level of progress that could be possible for you and your family If you just look to take some initiative in a lot of different care categories, okay, but before we get into the I can type of Dialogue that I want to engage in at the end of the live stream I definitely want to jump in here man and say hi to the gallery see who's all in there Investing with Aaron is in the group. I just threw a wrench at you Aaron. It was a it's a good thing man I can't believe you didn't have one but You've been such a staunch supporter of the channel I think it would be refreshing to me if I came into a channel and said hey You know nobody thanks the audience more than the independent investor channel because I truly do believe That the people who are part of this community and enjoying the success That Rebecca declared some of the very very successful portfolios like Christopher Blaine is in the group here These folks are self-made millionaires and so you know that level of success. I will be there Make mark my word. There's no way that people who are geared like me. Don't make it. It's that simple But he says she but laugh out loud. It is laughable. It's kind of silly I think I bought it with four zeros and I was talking about this last week But we'll see what's what ends up happening with that just having a little bit of fun anyway Arcus trash Yeah Was just a little bit too rich for my case and at the time is interesting because that's one of my most popular videos And it's one that I got some of the biggest hate for When not when I did my review of the ARC ETFs. I just thought for the expense To to it's a philosophy about going after hyper growth and it goes against some of the fundamental ideas that You know traditionally's those really haven't been the way now in the short and medium term They can be awful tempting to jump into and Kathy Wood makes a compelling case For these products out there on the marketplace, but it just weren't for me I don't know if I you know I typically try to stray away from language out there that says, you know One thing is wrong or one thing is right because maybe in the right allocation It could be good for someone who's looking for an ETF that that gives them You know exposure to Those genomic sectors the space sector the hyper growth sectors is some of those names that there's no way you could just cherry pick them and pick a few of them That's going to work for you. So put 5% in ARC, you know what I mean? It never hurts, but I currently don't own it. I don't share in the sentiment that it's trash I don't but you know for some people it can work in for others It may not I'm kind of in the latter camp of somebody who's done away with it and and I haven't missed it a bit. I made good money when I was in them and I haven't missed owning them I don't think I'm missing out, you know my exposure to ETFs that I'm a little bit more excited about are the ones I've declared to you now VUG VIG dividend appreciation fund and the triple cues Right, it's just a little bit more my flavor and to each his own as to what they choose. Okay How anyone has created income selling covered calls is 10% a year an okay expectation I think that's a great way of doing it. You need a sizable portfolio to do that You need to be doing it on some quality so there can be some Predictability by selling that premium and I don't know if you're selling the premium within a taxed advantaged account or within a tax account or or a cash account, but Options are a fabulous way amongst many to make really good money in In the markets, it's something that I've engaged in I love it and I'll do more of it down the line I've just felt like the stocks that I really want to sell premium against now Don't don't pay quite the premium in other words It's not really worth it for me for the small amount of risk That I'm willing to take to collect the premium for a month or so if you're looking at longer durations than that great But it's a strategy that I've shelved for now. I really do enjoy it and I'll engage in it probably later on In life when we've got a lot size or size more sizable of a portfolio Okay, I do own long calls still on highly on I did sell out of the premium on the drop right before the drop for matterport That was kind of a wasn't a blowout quarter for them And I was kind of surprised there the stock really got whacked it returned back today for sure Nicola again went up for no reason at all That it was positive that they have to pay 125 million For lying about their company for all the way through the SPAC process and I think they should take it out of Milton's ass to be honest with you. He won't pay he won't pay any of it He's a billionaire. He's got his ranch in utah or wherever the hell it is. So good on him. That's what that That should piss you off. I mean, you know for us retail investors man banding together sometimes is all we have to fight the powers that be but There's no way out of general principle that I could even invest in Nicola Let alone that I think that the company is garbage anyway They they will they will fall on hard times. There's no way that they can keep up generating The stock from scratch that their margins are not going to support any type of Anticipated cash flow with the business model that they have They're not going to be able to do it no way and I find it funny They're like, yeah, we're going to roll out 25 trucks and the market's like, oh, that's incredible Nobody questions like who those trucks are going to You know, it's going to go to dealers and it's going to go to uh to fleets. What fleets like really nobody asks that question Ryan you're being too scrutinizing. Okay. I just know what questions to ask I guess be a little bit open if that's you know, some news that makes the stock go up 25 I don't get it. So it was nice to see it get it get its ass kicked today It got kicked in the face. It dropped heavy today. It was nice to see larry master says amd's on fire Certainly. So is nvidia. Mm-hmm. Yeah, nvidia best and breed there for sure. I love adobe in the space I do own a little dab of amd. It's one of the 79 in the dividend growth portfolio but Yeah, it's been on fire. It's been on fire before Really before the year it kind of got into some meme craze Earlier on today and amd was starting to trade Really beyond its fundamentals, which was really unfortunate because amd doesn't need any help They're a fabulous fabulous chip maker. They're superior to intel Which pains me to say that but You know, sometimes these legacy businesses, man, they they sit back on their on their morals too too too long and too too You know, ibm is a perfect example of that. It was nice to see the kd split off and end up in the account but You know, they they just sit back and they do make huge money But in the eyes of the market, they start to grow mold and they start to be Some of those companies that people look at and and start to put them in the value trap Category. Yeah, they pay a 4% dividend. Who cares? Are they growing? Are they going to eventually just kind of die on the vine a little bit? So those questions are all valid Absolutely I got ethos and the government's seen you for a long time, my friend It's great to see a great coming into the holiday season seeing some of these original Gangsters coming back into the independent investor channel community. Why because they're part of it Let me see if I can kick over to youtube and throw ethos and bone. There he is the throw ethos and bone Oh, he's already a moderator fantastic. Yeah, it's great to see you my friend. Thanks for stopping in I know you're a busy family man, but shot out to you and the family. It's great to see you man Very cool And uh, david mathis is in there. I bought some. Yeah, well crm is the play CRM was a mistake for me to sell. I made a ton of money really, but it's been fabulous I think it's best in breed dow component now great great pickup for the long term Stock will double in five years. That's it's an easy doubler So depending on how much capital you put the work year It's probably got to be closing in on 300 a share anyway Um, just be prepared to double that in five years. Hold it long. Um, it's not going anywhere Um sales force is a beast good stuff rolling in rolling, baby. Check it. Check it. Check it to toad. I love it Very cool. It's great to see the results.

That's cool Um, so some lrcx amat kla very good. Appreciate just sharing your insight with the group very cool Rebecca says good job Kenny None of these ETFs have beaten the arc of the past five years just because you don't like hard doesn't mean it Yeah, you know, and then that's the thing of different strokes for different folks and Um, you know, I'm all about it. If you take a little bit more risk and put it on the table You're going to get me to tip the hat for I just I'm telling you it's not for me It doesn't mean it's not investable, right? You know Take a piece out of my playbook guys You don't have to be the know it all end all be all of everything investing why because As much as jeremy wants to profess to be the end all be all uh all knowing uh all seeing uh all being of the stock market Um, I hate to bust his bubble or any other asshole who wants to come on and profess that they're a stock god I'm gonna tell you that they don't exist Just like ghosts Don't exist sorry to bust your bubble all those folks that are coming off of halloween They don't exist Okay, let me just let me just give you some facts. Okay They don't exist let it go. All right. Nobody knows it all when it comes to the stock market Nobody special who comes on to youtube and says he I got a youtube channel. I'm special. Look at me Here's my angle. Here's my angle Nothing special 500 600 700 thousand youtube channels now coming on all talking about the same time There's my big stock in our week. Shit. I used to do and I won't do it anymore I won't do it anymore. It's a waste of freaking time. It's a waste either. You want to do it or you don't You want to say I can? Do it you can do it I'm working with people in this group man Like I I saw passive income in the group here kyle mat those guys are hustlers Hustlers they're trying to get ahead and I can guarantee you there's a half a dozen or a dozen other ones with just as much ferocity Sarah logston this young lady. Yeah fighter Phenomenal investor Carving out a piece for her not for me Not for anybody else but her and her family very simple. Okay. Don't make it more than it needs to be Focusing on voo and new see the past few months. I'm good. This is how she talks. I've had meetings with her. She's awesome This makes sense. I'm going to do it like don't make it more of of a difficult thing asshole, right? It's not that hard. Okay and for savvy investors like this that again, I always want to Cry a little bit and say, you know, had you not made the decision to invest or learn a little bit more about investing Would you be in the shoes that you're in now had you not made those decisions in your past? And I ask that rhetorically for you to ask yourself for me. Hell no And I don't mean to answer it for anybody else It carries more weight when it comes from somebody like rebecca or sarah or any of these other successful investors 10 fold 100 fold that i've met through the independent investor opportunity It's it's all about your individual ability to separate from the sheep Okay, write your own path. Okay stop sticking your nose up the backside of somebody else. Okay. It smells Okay, and human beings are very keen to avoiding other people's shit. Okay, so just keep your nose out of it Okay, look for your own path if people want to call you weird wonderful wonderful. Yes. I am individual Absolutely. There's nobody like me. Okay, at least I have yet to meet anybody like me But it's cool when I get to talk to people like sarah and it's like whoa Dang, you really believe what you're putting down and she will tell you. Yes. Yes. I do. This is what makes sense for me Some of the stuff you talk about ryan doesn't make sense for me and I'm like damn right on Finally somebody who wants to actually stick up for what it is that they do right wrong or indifferent They're sticking up for what it is that they do. Okay You kind of start to see where this movement is going Not everything has to be socially acceptable. Okay, let it go every now and then it's okay If it feels right do it Feels right and it's probably good. Okay do that All right, don't do it because your neighbor said you need to do it Okay, don't buy a new car because your neighbor has one and says this is incredible You got to go do it and you feel bad because because here they they have something that you don't have, you know It's just terrible and you you lay wide awake And you just can't sleep because you just can't get over the fact that they have something and you don't Have it in the back of your mind that you know more than the next person. All right That's wealth that nobody can take away from you And it has nothing to do with the size of your wad Get over yourself Okay awesome passive income is the bottom comment Investing isn't fun whenever one agrees with you. Oh come on kyle Good grief, man. You get so much love over your channel. Everybody loves kyle. See kyle pokes the bear That's what I like about kyle. He's like here. Let me throw this son of a bitch out there He'd deal with this people need that because people are pussies Really like people don't like to engage in like, you know cross Communication that's a little bit engaging The voice elevates a little bit. It's like, oh tone it down a little bit ryan. You know what I mean You need to be a little bit nicer with your application Everybody's good. No, they're not there. There's some god honest bad people in this world There's a lot of assholes in this world bad effing people bad And those are the very people that I like to probe right in their side Here you go right on man. You think you know it all wow 50 60 100 000 in debt. That's awesome, man. You got some beautiful cars on the driveway. That's fabulous That house that you have that you've refinanced three or four times. That's awesome. Nobody sees that though Everybody sees your wonderful house with fabulous curb appeal But uh, that's fabulous. You have not two nickels to rub together With any type of sizable wealth that's worth a damn, right? Okay Pick your poison All right, the temptation will be vast and uh, yeah, no, I do agree I think uh investing is interesting There are common themes within investing that I I do footstomp through the opportunity because beginning investors need to hear those common themes they don't need to stray away from the importance of Averaging to the market every month dollar cast average that type of thing that they need to hear that stuff. They need to understand the importance of diversification and you think god ryan you need to show your portfolio and show that you do that Jesus really I don't expect people to show me their portfolio. Hey rebecca. I don't believe you I don't believe you that uh, you uh, just surpassed your hundred and you need to show me You need to show me rebecca because that's just not good enough for me Right. See how absurd that is. All right. I can throw her a wrench. Hold on a second. Let me cruise in there Sarah's only been with the channel for like, I don't know eons and eons there I just anointed her with a wrench because I like her a lot. She has got fire I've met with her one time. She's just a fabulous person. It's freaking fabulous I love it man Some of the cool opportunity that we have through the independent investor channel to actually meet some of these really cool people man And if you take some of the pedigree of what it takes to be a successful retail investor With society with its boot on the top of your head all the time and you know, you're watching people And yeah, it should kind of piss you off every now and then it seems like everybody out there is just Trying to compete with everybody else. It's like, oh my goodness. I I got to get this new suv It's incredible. You know, I know my goodness. How much did you spend 72 000? I spent 77 000 on mine Really? We're going to the lot this weekend We're going to try to spend 80 because we got to beat you right seems like everybody wants to spend my money for me I know man, and I don't care like if you came to me and said and I know people I know multi-millionaires with you know, at least seven. There's some uh, eight figure portfolios in in the community I won't disclose those folks, but who cares? It's wonderful. You have sizable wealth. That's lovely. It just does not It doesn't make you that much better of a person like how do you engage in your business? How do you engage with others? What do you do to help others? Do you do anything to help others? You know, are you an asshole? Ask yourself look in the mirror and say god, you know, ryan posed the rhetorical to me You know, I didn't hear anything about his I can lesson But I did hear jeez. I should look in the mirror and ask myself. Are you an asshole? You know, not the jack handy like you're a good person people like you. No, no ask yourself Okay, if you're an asshole, clean it up. You don't need to do that anymore. All right, chill out Yeah, they are I'm sorry to speak the truth, especially Americans Americans are bitches big time Americans are bitches I used to when I was fishing on the boat man down in LA in san pedro I used to wake up every single morning to this You want to know what it was six italians who would come down to the dock and sit on a five gallon bucket They were conversing But it sounded like they were arguing ready to go to fisticuffs boom boom and i'm sleeping on the dock, right? I'm sleeping on the boat and I would wake up to that every single morning. I'm tired, right? I slept three four hours because we just offloaded over in terminal island We come tie the boat up and fall asleep boom and I wake up And they're all talking at the same time Italians baby, they're just communicating. They love each other. They're gonna go drink some vino that night And and love each other because that's what it's about Americans We're all a bunch of pussies like I'm gonna sue you that you you harmed me you harmed me with your words Don't be a bitch. Absolutely. I am fired up. Thank you, Sean. I appreciate it. Maybe Sean doesn't have a wrench I'm gonna go over and throw a wrench at Sean to see what's going on Where are you at Sean? Come on, buddy. I gotta pick you out of the crowd here, man Yeah, there he is. I'm throwing wrenches at the crowd anybody else want to wrench If you throw up the v you can have a wrench tonight. I've already awarded a ton of them Man, let's cruise up to the top of the stream and finish it out. I'm not gonna get to the lesson tonight Yeah, I can let me roll through it because if somebody have 59 minutes, there's a 59 People in here and watch when I start this lesson, it'll go down to like 30 people and be like, I'm out of here This guy sucks. I'm out of here. He's talking about gibberish with italian and he doesn't even speak italian I can here it is. I can do it on my own Yes, you can you do not need the help of the suits. Okay, let the suits go. Okay Okay, listen to a guy on youtube with a freaking us flag on his shirt. Okay, listen to that and if you Uh second guess the fact that you got your information from a funny guy that talked about skinny dipping and killing bees when he was little Uh in the in the mud and shit like that if you if you feel bad about that Just make something else up be like, yeah, I went in and I met with a planner and um, they were Really polished. They knew what they were talking about. I didn't want to do business with them You know because their expenses were a little bit a little bit tough for me and didn't offer me enough golf outings per year Right. Um, so I'm gonna go ahead and engage in the self-directed opportunity because of my own uh self Research and due diligence on the topic. Um, I can save tens hundreds of thousands of dollars over a lifetime Go ahead and do that. Okay, forget that you ever met me. Okay, because I'm right And you'll win You're welcome Okay I can do it on my own I can build wealth you have to build wealth If you want to be a successful investor, you have to build wealth You have to put wealth to work you have to let it build you have to put it to work You have to let it grow put it to work let it grow you can't just not do it Okay, it's not going to build if you don't do it You can't build wealth without doing it Understand I can Try putting more than 500 dollars to work in a savings account If you're one of those people out there that can't save a freaking dime Okay, because you're so busy saying I can't I can I can build wealth I can do it ryan because you're the man I am the man and you're the man and you're the woman you can do it. Okay, fantastic I can spend less I can spend less. Okay. I say this all the time you buy too much crap. Let it go. Okay You don't need all the crap you buy buy some crap if it makes you feel happy But you don't need all the crap that you you have I can spend less Look at it the opposite way. Okay over the last five years. I've fallen victim to Spending every last waking dime that I have as it made me any happier. Am I happier? If you are truly happier keep spending I just want you to ultimately be happy But if you can honestly look in the mirror and say god, I'm not kind of feel feel feel worse, you know what I mean Like I don't even feel guilty when I like spend all my money and I have nothing for myself afterwards Really? That's a problem spend less. I can spend less Can remain disciplined. Okay engage in a program only to fall on tilt and sell out of everything because I think I had youtube that son of a bitch the stock market went down went down six percent I lost $14 and that bastard. I knew I shouldn't have listened to somebody on youtube. That was my problem I need to go in and talk to the sophisticated The one in the suit, you know, I mean the suit and tie I had to get my good information He's gonna bend me over the table man when I leave with fees for the rest of my life and not give me the common Courtesy of a reach around. Okay. Yeah, but it feels good and I can tell people I'm with a planner professional Okay, so don't pay too much attention to the results that'll be rendered from that Okay, but I can't tell people that I got my information from a guy off of youtube guys freaking nuts people accuse him of being weird envision yourself being successful Here's a good one. How many of you actually believe that you'll make that quarter million dollar mark? How many actually believe Rebecca? This question is for you wake up Rebecca. She's probably in the emergency room. I'm busy Ryan Leave me alone. I'm listening Did you ever think that you were gonna get to a hundred thousand dollars of invested capital in your life? Be honest If you say yes, Ryan, I did wonderful. If you say no, Ryan, I didn't I would respect the latter more Because that's probably closer to honesty A lot of people can't envision themselves having ten thousand dollars of wealth let alone a six figure portfolio of wealth Okay, you have to envision success I can Beat the odds Let me tell you the stacks the the chips they're stacked against you People come on and they're like ryan. You're fired up. I get fired up because things piss me off A lot of people have it easy. Okay, americans should have it the easiest And it pisses me off how so many times we're all blasé about everything It's gonna happen for me. I I don't I don't need to do that Go to work That's for the birds Who needs to work? I don't need to contribute. What are you talking about? This life owes me Other countries are looking at it like what the freak man Laying brick and shit and like making roads and actually doing real work farming You know doing real work smith work woodwork, whatever it is trades work Yeah, they're working and they're like, who are these entitled mothers? They're freaking human beings just like I am Yeah, so when you have the opportunity and you don't take advantage of it and those those people are the worst Oh my goodness I have to instead of I can I have to okay. This is the urgent piece. I have to put this as a necessity I have to avoid regret. Okay. Get over the regret. I have to embrace opportunity. We provide all kinds of opportunity Okay, I gave you the skeleton key tonight I gave you a whole host of products in the portfolio review if you paid attention if you got none of it Go back. Stop it. You'll see what I invest in those ticker symbols are real and so is the dollar amount I have to evolve I give the five-year scenario to say Where was I five years ago? Where am I now? Have I progressed in certain capacities? Be honest give yourself credit if you've evolved. Okay. That's a good thing. All right I must I must define a strategy. I must define my own personal capability I must define my tolerance to risk like how much risk do I envision being able to take on? I must internalize this opportunity How do you do that Ryan? I don't know. Just watch the independent investor live stream. Okay, you you can get motivation through osmosis Okay, I highly doubt you get that from the stock god. I've tried. I don't get any motivation from him He pisses me off. So I don't watch him anymore Um, because he's full of shit Uh, trust your insights Spend less. This is in the I must category not I can because people who I can maybe you can maybe you can't It's okay. I'll be fine Ryan. Leave me alone Overcome debt. Yep overcome doubt Overcome your fear, right? Remember those personal barriers that I talked about focus on yourself Expect bad things to happen to yourself. Mm-hmm. Yeah, everything's not going to go through life and be hunky dory It's okay. Expect bad times I've been chalking up in the live stream for the most part of 2021 and being like I'm getting my ass kicked How are you guys doing? I'm doing great. I'm killing it. Yeah, good. I'm kind of getting my ass kicked over here But um, we're not getting our ass kicked anymore. We're doing fine Believe in yourself And you have to start something you have to start. I tell you start do something I don't care. Whatever it is start 500 away $5 dollar cost buy the vo. Whatever you got to do you got to start something. Okay The three things I've done in my life the scariest things that I trusted my instinct on started youtube channel Survive boot camp. That was a that was tough. I was I was scared scaredest time I've ever been in my life in retrospect I shouldn't have been so scared but I still take lessons in the military forward that I learned in boot camp And and and to take it that seriously then Really shaped how it is that I interact now Within my military profession and then I can the last one man I alluded to it in this live live stream. This was a very powerful one I'm very very satisfied with how this turned out when I strike this inner nerve Of myself I'm the best. Okay, you get the most value out of that. Remember. Um, I'm not going to send you a bill It's okay. I'm not one of those like It's a free consultation, but you're going to get the bill in the mail You join my private group for $20,000 I'll give you 15,000 off of it Yeah, and I'll offer you monthly installments if you'd like I'm going to become a millionaire Okay, dare dare to suggest those things that a lot of people look at and they think are pipe dreams Okay, pursue them. Remember at the top of the live stream tonight I talked about the very chance of me becoming a millionaire It's becoming more of an utter certainty the The the the element to that end Is going to be the aspect of how much time We need to to throw down on this guys.
