It usually outperformed the market by maybe five to six percent Over time and one of those things that I taught you guys last year is Stock splits when companies have a stock split like a four to one stock split They mean for every one shared that you own of Apple you'll receive four shares of Apple But they divide the price in quarters It doesn't change the evaluation of the company at all but historically speaking it outperformed the S&P 500 by six percent It outperformed the market by six percent in that year that it does the same stock split in the next 365 days guys So if you want for sure money like that historically speaking, I mean, this is data over the last 50 60 70 80 years right that historically speaking when a company a does this The price does this now. Why would you not want to invest inside those companies? Yes, you're not gonna have those 100 200 300 percent gains in a single year But by making smart strategic plays like the ones I taught you last year about the stock splits You're gonna see your portfolio grow over time because data has backed it up that when company a do this The stock price do this and in this video, I'm gonna show you guys another one last year I told you guys about Tesla stock split and Apple stock split and it performed Amazing. So in this video, I'm about to give you another historically data driven Event that when company a does this the price is gonna do this So make sure that you stick that entire video so you could pick up this cool tip Start to perform well inside the stock market and stop seeing your portfolio doing all of this every single month And you could start to have some consistent gains inside your portfolio But before we dive into this video, this video is brought to you by Weeble sign up now by clicking the link down in the Description deposit any amount of money and you receive two free stocks valued up to $1,600 with those two free stocks You could keep them inside the portfolio and decide to use it or you can sell those two free stocks and withdraw all of your money Guys, this is literally free money Guys are also left a link to coin based down in description That is by far the easiest way to buy and sell cryptocurrency I think you could get a free $10 worth of Bitcoin by depositing $100 and I also left another link to Moomoo You're getting another five free stocks by depositing $100 inside of Moomoo So all of those links down there is free money for you guys Go ahead and get your journey started today, but another talking. Let's go ahead and dive straight into this video Welcome back dreamers So the big tip that I got for you guys remember last year I told you guys about stock splits and how stocks this perform and that they outperform the S&P 5,000 by 6% while in this video the big brain idea the big historically driven data idea And the big brain idea in this video is stock buybacks So what is a stock buyback and a stock buyback or share repurchasing program a company repurchases their shares in the marketplace This practice has the effect of reducing the numbers of outstanding shares available and will increase the company's earnings per share A company could execute a stock buyback in one or two ways the first way that they could do it They could buy the shares back from their shareholders and the second way that they could do it is that they could buy back their shares out in the Open market. All right, so to make that very simple supply and demand guys if the company goes out there and buy back Billions of dollars worth of their shares that mean that there is less shares out there floating around Which that means if I hold the share and then now there's less shares out there There's gonna make the share that I hold more valuable That means historically speaking that the value of my share will go up over time just because this company is doing a Buyback program of their shares. Now that is smart Now you're not out there making dumb plays buying penny stocks all the time buying options all the time Watching your portfolio go down to zero back up to a hundred dollars back down to zero back up to a thousand dollars back Down to zero. This is a smart play that you guys can do that whenever you see a company do this a company that you trust Not every every company a good company, but company that you trust do a company share buyback That means historically speaking their share value is gonna go up over time Now I'm gonna tell you what companies are doing buybacks in this video, but first why do companies do stock buybacks? Well, there's one or two reasons I will never understand the mind of a CEO that is a trillion there They know a lot of information that we don't know but But one of the reasons is that it's a tax cut by them buying back their shares They are taxed differently than giving out dividends is it's a completely different kind of market when you are treating their guys But that is one way these companies save out on money It changed the valuation of the company and it also saves them on tax some kind of way So companies that are have performed well that year usually do a stock buyback and the company that is doing a stock buyback This year where there's two and I'm gonna give you guys a couple of companies that has done stock buybacks And how have they performed but the one in this video that we're really focused on is Microsoft now Microsoft announced at the end of last year Q4 last year of 2021 Is that they're doing a 60 billion dollar buyback? 60 billion dollar guys, that's how much of more shares is not gonna be out on the market That means you own any amount of Microsoft inside your portfolio. Yes Microsoft is expensive right now It's around three hundred dollars, but the last time that they did a stock buyback was in 2019 It was priced at around one hundred and thirty dollars and at the recording of this video Microsoft is around three hundred and sixteen Dollars that mean it went from one hundred and thirty dollars to around three hundred and sixteen dollars in a course from 2019 to 2022 Q1 it increased that much over time just from their last company buyback in 2019 and they just announced one in the Q4 of 2021 that they're gonna have a 60 billion dollar buyback So historically speaking if there's less shares out there on the market just supply and demand That means the value of the shares of Microsoft are holding my portfolio It's gonna become more valuable over time now before we dive into stock number two If you guys want to be a part of the discord You can sign up now by clicking the link down in the comment section That'll take you to my patreon the patreon to take you to the discord over there You'll have access to my portfolio every single time I buy a stock every single time I sell a stock all of my trades my swing trades and also we have a great community of traders that post that option trades The option day trades they swing trades there a lot of plays So if you guys want to be a part of an awesome community a large group of investors a large group of traders And you want to have access to all of that knowledge all in one place Then you can sign up for the discord by clicking the link down in the comment section Stock number two. This is the company. That is the king of share buybacks is Apple Okay, guys Apple spent eighty five point five billion dollars and share buybacks in 2021 And over the last ten years Apple have bought back 467 billion dollars worth of shares over the last ten years So if you're wondering why Apple always performs so well, they buy back their shares and they do stock splits Just such an amazing company That's why they're known as the flight to safety company because of the quality of their shares Now other companies that have done stock buybacks that I really like and I prounce on every single time I see them make an announcement is Apple, of course Microsoft Facebook when they announced that they're doing share buybacks I hop on to Facebook and Home Depot when they announced that they're doing share buybacks I of course hop on there are other companies that do share buybacks But these companies are in the billions when they do that share buybacks. Let me pull up a quick chart right quick All right So here we are right here on this quick list Microsoft announced a 60 billion dollar share repurchase this program It's the fourth largest in history. So the first three, of course, it's Apple back in 2018 They did a hundred billion dollar buyback Apple game with a 90 billion dollar buyback in 2021 2019 75 billion here's Microsoft with the most recent buyback in 2021 with 60 billion That's Apple GE Apple Apple Microsoft and Microsoft So everything after that is underneath 40 billion dollars But so the top 10 right here in the billions is nine times out of 10 either gonna be Microsoft or Apple So whenever Microsoft announced that they're having a billion dollar buyback I prounced on that opportunity as you guys know, I always invest to Apple Amazing company. I don't have to speak that every time I make a video You guys already know that but with Microsoft announcing that 60 billion dollar buyback I have to let you guys know that if you're tired of losing money inside of the stock market Quit making dumb plays quit making dumb option players quit buying dumb penny stocks Quit saying that you can't buy these good value companies because it's not gonna go up any higher if they Announce something like a stock split or a shared buyback the stock buyback Then that is your guys opportunity to invest into great companies that have historically speaking over time Why not take historical data? That's like betting against time break. You don't bet against time break it because historically speaking He wins the ship every single time No matter where he goes So if you're Cowboys fan understand why you bet on penny stocks if you're Cowboys fan Understand why you do option trading is because you like to take risk and you only live one But if you're tired of losing like the Cowboys Go ahead and start to make smart strategic investments by studying the market keeping a Pin and notepad a pencil and no pad close nearby tracking your trades tracking your investments and invest into these very smart Strategic plays so there you go guys.
