 What's going on everybody? This is Giovanni from the options trading channel. I know it's been a while since I made a video It's been quite some time and I've had a few comments as to why I haven't been making any videos and I always want to come at you as clean as possible with the absolute truth and here it is Let's just cut to the mustard. Let's get right down to it The account is down significantly from the highs. We hit a high of 470,000 and then it just came down like a freaking rock It's currently trading at 405, but we actually got down as low down as low as 389,000 we are dead even for the year and it's halfway through March. This is scary It is scary regardless. It's not my money. It's still scary. I still am somewhat attached to this whole account emotionally But I'm trying to think about this as rational as possible. Let me explain What has been going on that necessarily talking about the stock market, but the account itself? And then I'm gonna get a little deeper into The psychology the emotional aspect of making videos for you guys in the YouTube world for Trading in the stock market. So we went in heavy on Chuck Hughes's plays. I'm not talking bad about the service Just just bear with me. Let me explain. So we went in heavy at one point. We were about a hundred and ten thousand dollars Into as much as plays. That's how many how much money we had in on his place So we didn't go in, you know, not even definitely not 50% of the account That's not where we were gonna be but we were we were up there in the 20 25% range Which is probably more than what we should have been putting into these plays, but Anyways, we never went in more than, you know, gosh $10,000 per play Then the market started let's just call it's moving down because they didn't crash, right? they from the highs they started crashing down and that's where we lost the majority of Our account when we were up at four hundred and seven. I should just cut my losses, but you never know where you are In the grand scheme of things it was coming down and at that point you have a decision to make either just pay cut loose or Trim down or get out all completely you have many choices and Obviously we didn't pick the right choice We just stayed in there and it came crashing back down. So This has been going for the last what three weeks or so Just haven't had much material to give to you guys, but here is an update I can do screenshots. We don't have to go back to the actual, you know, live screen I'll show you screenshots, but currently making this video. It's at four hundred five thousand four hundred dollars So we're up a whopping three hundred dollars a year to date. So definitely nothing It's even Naked options. Um, it scared us. It scared us after the Macy's and Beyond Meat plays that went terribly wrong I think Macy's After really thinking about it Macy's went up because of the whole gain stop Wall Street bats situation Macy's was heavily shorted and it just went it popped up. It just we had bad luck Bad timing. We were at the wrong place at the wrong time. It is what it is Moving on I'm I'm I've come to realize this and I knew this a long time ago years ago and making my youtube channel that's been growing Slowly that is fine, but I'm I realized this a long time ago that This is why People like personas like Ricky Gutierrez people like Patrick Whelan a slew of other warrior trader I can't think fast enough off the top of my head, but the reason why these people Don't do strictly trading the stock market because it's extremely difficult beyond difficult I don't believe that These you to personas people youtubers just in general I don't believe that any of them actually know how to truly trade and stick to the markets and flow with the markets and Truly be dynamic enough and have enough knowledge competent enough to Truly make a living off of just trading This is why Ricky Gutierrez makes videos about his cars super cars real estate Lifestyle videos and why Patrick Whelan in my opinion, this is all my opinion by the way I should done a full disclaimer at the beginning of this video, but why Patrick Whelan is making more lifestyle videos He did make a very sincere Video genuine video a couple weeks ago months ago pop probably by now But if you don't watch his channel, I think it's a good good channel with or without trading He has this awesome persona period, but Ricky Gutierrez. That's why he sells you courses That's why you know, he he does other things on the side because well, not only is it smart to have Multiple streams of income income streams and it's wise right because you diversify yourself You don't depend on one source when one is doing bad one might be doing good So I just wanted to be very upfront and give you my opinion and give you Sort of an update why I haven't been making any trading videos Nobody wants to actually watch these videos where you know, I'm trading $400,000 not at one time But hey people want to be entertained and I've realized that I made a very honest review. Sure. Maybe I've met of overdone it with bashing on him and joking on the video, but I made a video you know last year and I can't even remember the guy's name, but he made completely fake Trading bots and people ate it up people ate it up People just want to be entertained people don't they want to be lied to they want They want that and I don't know how to do that Maybe I might start another YouTube channel where I do Lifestyle videos and I cars I love cars That's something that's that's sort of been in the back of my head for a long time. I just bought a car It's a monster of a car 800-wheel horsepower all-wheel-drive car You know comment down below if you guys want to see videos of that I may be branching off to other things while still giving you updates on the channel I I couldn't get an affiliate program going on for you guys or discounts for you guys from check Hughes's plays, but I will link his website in the description down below I think that his service is one of the very few True trading services that will give you entries and exits I'm Don't I'm not affiliate with him. I'm not affiliate with his services in any kind of way We are Subscribers to his service again full disclosure and I'm thinking about putting this thing on autopilot Getting in when he gets he gets in and getting out when he says get out And we're not again. This is all just a service I'll put a link in the description down below so you guys can look at a service if you guys are interested in not affiliate whatsoever, but I'll be honest I have been making a little bit of money on the side with earned to trade in those two videos that I made about Reviewing earned to trade service. That's been really cool. I didn't do an affiliate program with them an affiliate league I make about, you know, $200 $300 consistently every month up until last month. I only made about $200 but consistently I was making about $300 $400 every month. So that's really cool And so I've been thinking I've been thinking the wheels have been turning I've been thinking about branching off and starting another YouTube channel growing that You know to Turn into a lifestyle YouTube channel car channel car YouTube channel. I have a lot of friends in the car YouTube World automotive world Maybe I might get help from them again comment down below what you want to see from for me this channel Maybe the future tell me what you would like to get entertained by Also, I'm thinking about switching over not giving you so much updates on the actual account But give you tutorial videos on, you know, how to find inflated options The tools that we use how we use them I've been promising that for a while and I just haven't gotten to him being a dad being a single Dad and having a full-time day job. It just keeps me really busy Not giving me enough time to you know, do what I love which is making videos for you guys But I don't have enough content or I should say I don't have Content that's entertaining enough for the YouTube trading world community So anyways, thank you so much for watching guys. This was a lame video get it But I did want to give you an update now that I have time I have I have a day off and my I don't have my son today So I might go work on my 800 horsepower will horsepower car It does need a few things several things But I got it at an amazing price and I'm excited to dig into it But yeah, I am into cars Again comment down below if you want to know more about that about that side of me and again Thank you so much for watching everybody.
