 Hey, how's everybody doing today? This is your boy, Rich, and I'm here with a very special guest. It is Dylan. How you doing today Dylan? Love everyone. I'm doing good. Just got off the wrestling mat. So Right as they record this Now this is pretty exciting today because we're starting a brand new series a new playlist. It's called stocks for teenagers The thing that makes Dylan so unique is that he is still only 18 years old But he's already learning how to invest in stocks So why don't we take the time today Dylan to show everyone that's watching all over the world that even at 18 You can learn about stocks. So how did you get started? Yeah, so I'm definitely so I actually so I had a job and I was making money and like I'd always heard everywhere Like you know make your money work for you. And so I was like, oh, well, I mean like how can I really do that? I mean like there's not a lot I can do in my age. I still have to go to school I still have to do certain things. So it's like I can really start a business. I can do anything crazy But then like I kind of like heard about I like was kind of researching online and then I came across the stock market And I was like, wow, well, that seems like a really interesting thing I mean like a lot of retirement and everything like that that's where a lot of people are getting involved with later in life So I thought well Maybe if I get involved earlier and I can start with less money and I can add more money as I like gain it But like that way I'll be able to kind of like set up my future But at the same time like maybe even be able to make some extra money to have some money go out with friends pay for school So like I felt like I'd like kind of end up ahead of the ballgame and That it would kind of like set me apart from everyone else that just has a job You know it goes out they spend their money on like parties and stuff So I felt like it would definitely be like a not an easy way But like a another way I can make money and like just have like interest in it and just find something to do And how did you start what was the first thing that you did? So the first thing I did was I actually bought a couple books on Amazon I kind of actually I actually found you on YouTube. So I was on YouTube kind of just watching the informational videos Just kind of looking around like trying to get my feet wet before I like really got involved I already had TD banks So I kind of went ahead and made a Ameritrade account just because it went right through so I kind of went through that I did that at 17 because I actually just turned 18 in November and I just kind of I kind of did a lot of like researching around like just kind of gained like a general knowledge of the topic Now like later on I didn't really actually learn a lot of like important information until like I ended up it was too late I mean like I'm down right now in Aurora cannabis But it was a solid investment and like after like now that I know the information that I know I mean, I know that I'm not screwed I just like I feel like I didn't really understand the difference between Like trading and the difference between like long-term holding like putting money in and forgetting about it And so that was definitely like a big learning gap for me And is there any advice you can give to anybody that's a teenager like you that wants to learn about stocks Yeah, so I mean, I would definitely go ahead and I would just read I wouldn't be afraid to read books I mean definitely go out there if books aren't your thing YouTube videos. There's plenty out there. There's your channel, of course All sorts of stuff like that There's a bunch of stuff Just pretty much all over the place that you can really ask I mean you can even talk to teachers at your school if you're my age You can really talk to anybody There's a lot of people that that are willing to give good advice I mean, but one piece of advice I would say is that you need to be careful who you're listening to and You need to make your own decisions You can't just I mean like with through the group chats and through the YouTube videos Like I can't just watch one of your videos and go like oh, I'm gonna buy that sock rich So that's great because I mean like nobody really knows the truth. I mean like you can be the best in the world but like I Mean you it's always good to do your own due diligence It's good to pay attention to everything I mean and it's good to like listen to everything and just kind of take it all in but like don't act on it right away You know, I would say that's that that's definitely the main thing that I've learned They're not just buy something cuz someone like is like, oh, you know, you should buy this, you know And now that you are investing and you said you're down a little bit on Aurora. What are your goals for 2019? So my goal is to get out of Aurora. I'm actually right now Well, my goal is not to get out of Aurora. My goal is to make money My goal is to just come out positive on the year But my goal is to kind of master the art of like trading and like I may be down sometimes I may make poor decisions, but in the overall run like end up on top. It just kind of come out on top of the year Um, I've been looking at like more of like the short term trading like right now like since I'm in it stuck in Aurora I've been considering I've been playing around with the TD Ameritrade actually offers a paper money Which is it's like a way to trade without actually using like actual money You get the real-time market you get real-time everything. However, you'll get you'll trade like fake money That's why I call it paper money. Yeah, and so I've been playing around with that and just practicing my trading strategies So I would I would say that that's that's also another great tool for learners There's another there's like plenty of other platforms you can do that on you don't have to just do TD But there's plenty of platforms that you can definitely just get your feet What I mean without even like really worrying about real capital And I would say that that would bring me back to like my goal this year is definitely to um Just be more smart with my trading make sure I do my due diligence and make sure like I really focus on the strategies that I want to do Not end up any holding any bags That's very good. Now what we're gonna do is this is gonna be a new playlist that we're gonna create and we're gonna be Doing videos all the time Experiences talking about, you know, some of the things that are working for you talking about some of the things that are not working for you So for anybody that is interested would you be willing to give?
