 So what's up everyone? Happy Monday today is Monday, September 20th, right? So if you guys are just watching this video for the first time, I like to do a YouTube live every single Monday at 11. And that's because I primarily trade between 9.30 and 10.30 a.m. I trade for one hour a day. I trade during the most profitable window, which is the open. And then we started making these videos on Mondays because Mondays used to be my worst performing day. I used to lose money every single Monday. And we started these videos as like my video journal, like my video diary to be able to talk and vent and educate you guys on how I could improve my trading, right? This was my own diary. And now it turns out that doing these videos, Monday is my most profitable day, right? Monday is my most profitable day and Friday is my most profitable day. Friday because I wanna work for as little time as possible so I forced myself to leave even earlier. I think my worst performing day is either Tuesday or Wednesday, probably Wednesday because by that time I'm just so fucking tired working all the time, I get a little bit lazy. So if you guys are struggling or if you guys have a day of the week that you guys aren't good during, it would always be great to just like make a video journal, make a video diary, talk about it, educate. The reason why I did so poorly on Mondays is because I had so much excitement and so much fomo over the weekend that every time I would come in on Monday, I would start trading at like 7 a.m., start trading pre-market, I would start trading random shit because I had the itch, it was like a crack addict, right? I had to smoke my fucking crack to be able to feel good, right? And now what I do and what I preach to everyone is to avoid the pre-market trading because pre-market trading is very choppy. It's very random, it doesn't really have a trend, it doesn't really have a pattern. So what I've found in my trading guys is every single morning I wake up, I have a coffee and after I have my coffee, after I get my caffeine rush, I go for a morning walk. I go for a 30 minute morning walk for a few reasons. Reason number one is I'm fat, so I'm trying to get a little bit skinnier. But reason number two is by walking for half an hour pre-market, that is half an hour that I'm not trading. That is half an hour that I'm getting the fomo out of my system. That is half an hour that I'm getting my heart rate up and I'm getting ready for the day. So I highly, highly suggest guys that you guys take a 20 to 30 minute walk around town pre-market before the market opens to get the juices flowing, to avoid pre-market, and to maybe lose some weight, right? So that's been helping me. I've been doing that for approximately two or three months and for the past two or three months I've been doing that, I've been making over six figures every single month, right? So we're at the point now on the year where I'm up over $2.5 million after fees and after commissions. I mean, these are the little lessons and these are the little nuances that you guys need to do to improve your trading because trading is a sport. It is mental athleticism. I am not the most physically fit person. I'm fucking fat, I eat ice cream and cookies and cake and shit. But mentally, mentally, I am tuning my mental muscle every single day, right? We are fighting greed. We are fighting ego. We are fighting our emotions. We are fighting every single human, every single thing that makes us human. We must fight and we must combat to become profitable traders. The reason why robots and algos are so good is because they have no emotions, right? It's just a lot of fucking code. Humans are emotional creatures, right? So anyway, I didn't wanna get into all that rant. The point that I'm saying is these videos were created to help improve my trading on Monday. Now my trading is fucking incredible on Monday and now I just do these videos to educate you guys and teach you guys, right? So today's lesson or today's topic is what to do when markets are in turmoil. So today the Dow is down, I think like five or 600 points, right? And the main question that I always get when the market is down is, should I be following CNBC? These guys are financial guys. They wear suit and ties. They seem like they know what they're talking about. They're all millionaires, blah, blah, blah. But my lesson to you guys is the reason why people follow CNBC is because they have no idea what they're doing. They really don't know any better. They are just looking for a handout. They're looking for a quick win. And I don't know about you, but I've never heard anyone say that they've gotten rich by following CNBC. The reason why people have CNBC up is to do pretty much the opposite of what they're saying, right? So for example, if CNBC is telling you to buy a stock, chances are either one, they're already in it, you already missed the move, and you are going to be the liquidity for them to exit their positions. So this is just a lesson in anything else guys. You should not be following CNBC. You should not be following any alerts. You should not be following any forex signals. By the time you get that signal, by the time you get that alert, by the time you watch it on TV, it is already too late. So for all the people asking me every single day, should I be following CNBC? Should I be buying CNBC stock? Should I be doing this or that? In my opinion, in my personal opinion guys, by the time you hear it, it is too late. You are the sheep, right? You are the sheep. So everyone listening to CNBC, that is a trigger and that is a radar that they are a new trader. They're a brand of person. They don't know what they're looking. They're looking for signals. They're looking for alerts. They're looking for information. Most of the time I do exactly the opposite of CNBC and I make money. And that is because if everyone is doing the same thing, if everyone is buying the same stock, it's probably gonna go right down, right? That's how it works. If one side is very stuck on one trade, if one side is doing the same thing, the other side is gonna win. So CNBC is your dumb money index. It is not a surprise that whenever CNBC does a markets in turmoil, stocks bounce because they panic everyone out, right? They panic everyone out. So keep that in mind, guys. Keep that in mind. Do not follow CNBC. Do not follow fucking Bloomberg. Do not follow XYZ. By the time you hear it, it is too late. And I challenge you to find me one person that says they are a consistently profitable six or seven figure trader from just following CNBC. If it was as easy as following CNBC, we would all be rich, okay? So think logically, guys. Think logically. So that was the first topic that I wanted to talk about, right? CNBC is good to have for background noise or background music or to listen to how fucking stupid they are. You know, I'm not a financial advisor. They'll probably never bring me on. I look like a fucking terrorist. I'm wearing a full sense shirt. But at the end of the day, I'm probably making more money than all of those people because I'm doing it the right way, okay? So that's lesson number one. Now, lesson number two is the stock market is down a shitload today. Why is the stock market down a shitload today? I mean, to be honest, guys, it doesn't matter what the reason why is. It doesn't matter if there's coronavirus variant six. It doesn't matter if fucking China is scamming people. What you have to remember, guys, is the market has to move up and down. If anything goes directly like this, it comes back down. You need peaks and valleys, right? Peaks and valleys is what you need in the market. So if you are a long-term investor, if your outlook is 10 or 20 years, I think you're gonna be fine, right? I think you're gonna be fine. But if you are a short-term trader, what does the large cap sell off mean for small caps? Doesn't mean shit. Small cap action does not follow large cap action. Today we have a stock Zivo. Zivo is up 164%, okay? 164% this stock is up. So when large cap stocks are tanking, all of that money is trying to work for something else. So to be honest, it is more advantageous for us to have the overall markets tanking because then that speculation money will flow into small caps. It will flow into these stocks. Now it doesn't mean that we're gonna get parabolic runners. It doesn't mean that we're gonna get crazy things. It just means that the money is shifting, right? There's cycles, guys. There's cycles. During earning season, large cap stocks are very active. During summertime, large cap stocks are very inactive, right? So there's cycles, guys. And again, the reason why I want to make this video is to kind of educate you guys on what to do. A lot of people ask me, what do I do with my extra capital from trading, right? So for example, guys, let's say I make the math easy. I make $1 million, right? After I make $1 million, the feds are taking 500K, right? You can't escape it. Doesn't matter if you make 10 million, you make 100 million, they're taking half your money. Get used to it, right? So if I make a million dollars, that leaves me 500K. After, let's say, $100,000 in expenses a year, food, rent, laundry, this, that, I have $400,000. Now, with that $400,000, do I put it in the bank? Do I put it into crypto? Do I do this? Do I do that? And to me, guys, you will not be rich unless you have your money working for you while you sleep, right? Bauer's very invested into real estate. I have some long-term stocks. But my goal, my goal as a trader is to take that cash flow that I am making in trading and diversify it in different places so that I don't have to be trading for the rest of my life. So if I have $400,000, I would put $100,000 into the market, $100,000 into crypto, and probably $200,000 into real estate. And the reason why I do that is because I wanna live on as little money as possible and while I'm sleeping, have my money make me money. Now, why am I staying this? If the market is down 500 points and it goes down again tomorrow, I mean, it might be a very good way to start for you to invest in your retirement. It might be a great way for you to start to build a long-term portfolio, right? These are the things that no one else is gonna tell you. Sure, you could make millions of dollars trading, but if I can have a portfolio that has a million dollars in it and make 20% a year, all of a sudden I'm making $200,000 for doing nothing. And that is the goal, guys. Your goal is to take all the money you make to trading and funnel it into real estate, funnel it into other places so that you are diversified and that you are protected, right? So the reason why it's called My Investing Club and not My Trading Club is because after you guys get all this money from trading that we teach you, we are going to teach you how to put it into real estate. We're gonna teach you how to put it into long-term investments. We are not ready for that yet, but just know that that is something that we are working on. Tao is very involved in the real estate world. He has connections up the ass and eventually we're gonna get to a point where after, let's say you make $100,000 a year trading, well, shit, maybe 50,000 of that, you could put it into real estate, earning five to 10% a year and then just growing and growing and growing, guys. So during these market panics, during these market sell-offs, use it as an opportunity to build your long-term wealth. Doesn't mean go all in. It doesn't mean fucking this, that. It just means that it might be a great time for you to buy things while they are down. And historically, the stock market long-term has gone up. Sure, maybe for the next three years it'll go down, but for the next 27 years after that, it's probably gonna go up. So as long as your perspective is long-term, there is money to be made, guys. So keep in mind, my investing club, we're gonna teach you how to invest in real estate. We're gonna teach you how to invest in long-term stocks. We're gonna teach you how to invest in different opportunities out there, opportunities that I have for myself, opportunities that Bao has, opportunities that everyone else has, because the way to create long-term wealth is this. Average millionaire has five different sources of income. So if you only have one source of income, which is trading, chances are you're not gonna become a millionaire. You need to have different sources of different opportunities, of different cash flow, bringing you guys in money. So does that make sense? Sorry, I'm just looking around at these stocks. So does that make sense, guys? These are the things that no one else is gonna teach you. These are the things that a lot of people don't care about. I see plenty of people on Twitter making millions and millions of dollars, but they just keep that money in the bank, or they keep that money somewhere else, and hey, you can do whatever you want, but it is what it is. So now what I'm gonna do, guys, is I wanna open it up to a Q&A. I wanna do an audience Q&A. So this is your opportunity to ask me any question you want about day trading, any question you want about cars, any question you want about real estate. Yes, or last time I did this, people were asking me what coffee am I drinking, or what am I drinking out of my cup? That's not gonna provide value, that's not gonna make you money, but if you guys wanna know, I will tell you. So let's use this opportunity, guys, to talk. Additionally, I am going on vacation on Thursday. So Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, I will not be around for DMs, watchlists, trading, anything. I am taking a much needed, much deserved vacation. I am leaving, I am leaving my phone in the hotel room, I am not doing shit. So if you don't hear from me from Thursday to Monday, I didn't die, I'm just sipping a margarita on a beach, right? So I need a vacation, I need to de-stress, I need to recharge my batteries, I am burnt out, I am checked out, I am looking homeless, people are gonna confuse me for al-Qaeda soon, but yeah, I am really excited for that. So let's get into the Q&A, guys, any questions for me? Alex, what does your typical day look like? I wake up in the morning around 6 or 7 a.m., espresso, bathroom, go for a 30 minute walk, prep pre-market, trade from 9.30 to 10, from 10 to like three answer member questions, help MIC members, around four, I go work out, around 4.30 I have my first meal of the day, from 5 to 7 I answer more questions, and then from 7 to 9 I watch TV and go to sleep. Do I swing trade in large caps? No, I just have long-term investments in large caps. How do you always know if a pumper is in or out of a stock? I have many people in these pump rooms giving me the information. How many strategies do we have? We have the first bounce, first resistance, death line, short inter-resistance, first red day, first green day, we have like six or seven different strategies, guys, and the reason why we have so many strategies is for you guys to find what works for you. Hey, I'm really struggling with holding my wins in trading. How can I improve on that? Number one thing is to hold on your winners, you need to be able to lock in profits. If you are not locking in profits when you are trading, at least covering a quarter or at least covering half, then you will not be able to be patient for the big picture moves. What makes you avoid the shiny object? I've learned through multiple, multiple losses that trading the hot stock of the day is the hardest stock of the day. Have you thought about taking on a one-on-one apprentice? I mean, to be honest, guys, we educate 2,000 members. I've given my entire life to helping you guys. And to be honest, you cannot afford me for my one-on-one. My time is super valuable and I will not do one-on-ones unless it's worth my time now. I give you guys everything, literally everything we give you, and if you guys want one-on-one, I'm not gonna offer it because the price is gonna be too ridiculous. When do I consider trading the hot chick? Like EDSA was the hot chick of the day today, pre-market, and then I opened it, tanked. So after tanked, after I put in a death candle, after it was under VWAP, after it was broken, that's when I want to trade it. The most important step for beginners to focus on is education. You cannot know what you're trading without being educated. I could tell you all these strategies, I could tell you what to do, but if you have no idea what it means, then it won't matter. What is my favorite scanner to use in the seven years that I've been trading? I have never paid for a scanner once. I use the DOS Trader top list, right? And then I use MIC members. They help me filter out which stocks are moving, do not pay for a scanner. Would you personally consider longing hot chicks after 1030? Yes, but I am so busy during the day, guys, running MIC, answering questions, working with everything that I physically have no time after the first hour to do anything, because if not, I will not be able to finish my other work. Yeah, you guys don't even pay $99 and you guys wanna ask for one-on-one coaching. You guys cannot afford my one-on-one coaching. It's, I'm telling you, you don't want to because my time is valuable. I am a multi-millionaire trader, right? And if I want to do one-on-one coaching, I don't want to because it's not gonna be valuable. I'd rather coach 2,000 people, which is what we're doing. Again, guys, about the other investments, like stocks or crypto or real estate, we're gonna be releasing stuff on that very soon. That is something that we want to get right. We want to make sure that you guys are getting the best value for that stuff. And I mean, we're gonna be revolutionizing everything, guys. Again, it's not my trading club, it's my investing club. We're gonna teach you how to invest differently. When are we gonna see live trading from you? I am recording live trades as we speak to offer a live trading course for you guys. So that's gonna take some time. It's not my priority. My priority isn't to sell you guys a course. My priority is to educate you guys. I don't like shorting zombie hours. It is a losing strategy. I have made millions of dollars leaving at zombie times. So why are you trying to deviate? Would you consider an MIC meetup in London? I actually had an MIC meetup in London. The meetups are coming back soon, guys. I am just really overwhelmed. I'm just really burnt out. I am really tired. I just need to give some time to myself first before I give myself back to everyone else. So I think I'm gonna wrap it up there, guys. I think this will provide a lot of value for you. What I did last time is I left you guys a challenge. So what I said is if you guys leave a comment on this video with one lesson that you learned, I'm gonna pick one person to win a free month at MIC. So like the video, comment one lesson that you learned on the video, and if you're lucky, you're gonna get an email from me giving you a free month of MIC. So again, guys, this is what I do every Monday, and I'm here to help you guys. I'm here to provide value, but please try to help yourself. Go to the website, myinvestingclub.com. Your first month is half off, and if you made it this far, you're about to hear that monthly membership is going to be ending very soon. So don't wanna say much more details, but you guys will find out soon the monthly membership is going to disappear soon. So if you guys don't take advantage now, probably never gonna have a chance again. So text Tosh 213-458-5997. I will see you guys back in the room and I'm going to go enjoy my vacation on Thursday. So thank you, everyone. I'll see you guys back in the room.
