  Speaker 1: Let's talk about Alco dan Goti personal titans. He's a
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: personal hero of mine when it comes to business. The
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: richest black person in the world. If you don't know
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: who Lego dan Golti is, he probably around twenty thirty
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: billion dollars out of Nigeria and man, he changed the
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: game so much with his right refinery oil refinery and
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: he's been fighting against the Nigerian government for some time now.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: They've been trying to give him a hard time. Go figure.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: But he's taking his company public and I believe it's
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: on the Nigerian stock market, but now he's taking to
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: the London stock market. So this is major. This is
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: big for Africa, this is big for energy independence, this
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: is big for Nigeria. What do you think about Elligo
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: dan Golti's IPO on the London stock market.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: I think illegal dan Godi is a name that should
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: be celebrated. It should be bolstered across all social media's.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: I think it's it's somebody that our children should know.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: We should know because what he's doing is something that
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: we've never seen before. For one man to use his
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: business brilliance and his infrastructure to change the GDP of
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: an entire country. I mean, it's unprecedented. Not looking for
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: outside people to help. He just said we're going We're
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: going to do it ourselves. And you're talking about, you know,
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: oil as a resource. It's something that Nigeria has, and
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: the fact that they had to export it out to
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: get it refined and then pay a fee to have
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: it imported back to them, it just never made sense
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: to him, and when you say it out loud, it
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: doesn't make sense in general. And so to be able
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: to create a refinery in Nigeria based off his resources, right,
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: you're talking about a guy who's done it in flour,
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: he's done it in sugar, he's done it in cement.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: He has powerful friends and electricity, like all the things
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: you need. He turned to his community of friends in
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: the world of business and now has made this a
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: publicly traded company for Nigerians and now going to the
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: London stock Market so people can actually have access and
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: ownership into it. It says a lot. You know, his
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: net worth quote unquote was at thirty billion. The number
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: is closer to sixty million. Most people are saying because
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: of what this means, so they go from like the
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: number nine or ten export of oil to now one
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: of the import of oil to now one of the
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: top ten exports of oil because of this refinery.
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: It's a huge mission.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: He's been on it for I feel like we did
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: this on our first year. He was just talking about
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: it in twenty nineteen. So it's seven almost eight years
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: into this and the refinery's up. Man, I can't wait
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: to see it. I actually want to see it in person.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: Can't wait to speak to him, meet him in person,
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: to shake his hand. He's one of the first people
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: that I wrote about when I was teaching financial literacy
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: fifteen almost years ago. It's incredible. I think people don't
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: even understand the magnitude of it, and so I'm glad
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: that we get to highlight it and give him, you know,
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: all the praise that he deserves, and all his entire team.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: I know his daughters are involved in it as well.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: He deserves it because that is something that I don't
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: know if it could be replicated, but the lessons that
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: can be learned from piling your resources together, creating something,
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: making a change that's beyond you. He said, this isn't
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: even about money, This isn't about him. This is about
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: the future of his country, which is extremely honorable.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Aligo dan Goti is actually David Oh's godfather. Also, if
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: you don't know the singer when we interviewed david O
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: and Legos and david Oh's father is a billionaire, and
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: david O's uncle is Allego dan Goti his godfather, and
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Illego dan Goti's brother. He's up there too. But I
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: gotta be careful with this political stuff because we do
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: have to go back to Nigeria soon. So I don't
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: want to offend any any more politicians, for sure. We
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: don't need that. No, we definitely don't need to offend
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: no international politicians. Absolutely, But he's been having a fight
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: with the with the government. Allego dan Goti has been.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: They've been, they've been, they've been, they've been at you.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: You could imagine people not wanting to see that happen
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: from external forces.
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: But you know he's managed to still get it done.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: Okay, Well, shout out to a Lego dan got much success.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: We look forward. We've been working on We've been working
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: on trying to meet Aleco dan Goti for a very
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: long time. Yeah, so I'm sure it will happen when
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: when it's time to happen. But we look forward to
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: sitting down with the brother, to to looking at to
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: visiting his refinery yea, and to really you know, see
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: how we could we could help move move the situation
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: forward because it's important. Energy independence is the only way
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: that Africa is going to move forward. And it's vitally
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: important that Africa moves forward.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: So you know, so I know the initial offer in
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: Nigeria's you have to be a citizen of the con
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: like you have to be from a country in Africa.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: So I wonder, now that's I'm saying in London out.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: I wonder what the sipilations will be for that?
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: All right, Mike, you go back to the original list.
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: Thanks Mike. I think you had Palenteer up next.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: Year, Palenteer, deaf and destruction.
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: So Palenter actually reported as the market closed, so they
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: beat on revenue. They beat it on adjusted earnest for
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: Shure US commercial revenue grew to seven hundred and sixty
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: four million UH and then eb I grew as well,
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: so a solid quarter for them. I saw a car
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: picks some quotes I will not read them, but you know,
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: he is a very interesting guy.
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: So, I mean, the company did well. It's been getting
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: beat up.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: It had its all time highs last year, and it's
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: kind of helped pulling back because of the high valuation.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: I think that multiple was two hundred and seventy two
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: hundred and sixty seven x some crazy number got down
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: obviously with the company pulling back down the sixty seven
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: which is still pretty high, but it did be on earth.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: I think the most important thing we saw was that
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: the business structure has changed from them predominantly getting fifty
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: percent of revenue from the government to now getting commercial
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: enterprise to buy their AAII software. And so you think
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: about all the US agencies that we're using it, and
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: I mean, you could like that or not, but it
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: has changed so now that customers include banks, healthcare systems,
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: energy companies, manufacturers, retailers, insurance companies, airlines, pharmaceutical firms. They
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: have expanded their base of customers, which has helped change
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: the revenue model, which is good because that is something
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: that is scalable rather than saying, hey, we're going to
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: be super reliant on the government. So that's good for
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: them and that's good for the AI story. As well,
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: because again, if we talk about infrastructure in video, the GPUs,
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: the memory, all that's part of it. What's the next
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: layer of the applications? Palentive being an application service, now
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: be an application. These will benefit so great quarter for them.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: Let's see if they can keep that going and maybe
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: retest some of these all time hius. Now the evaluation,
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: we gotta see, we gotta we gotta be mindful of that.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: That's a that's a hefty, hefty, hefty multiple, meaning that
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: we're already pricing in the future growth of it.
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: So just be mindful of that.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: Outdated investing rules.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: Who uh, I'll go, I'll go down Ian's path here
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: and say diversification. People believe that diversion. Diversification will reduce risks,
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: which doesn't necessarily always hold to be true because if
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: you're diversified across I don't know, thirty stocks in the
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: market pulls back, that really hasn't reduced your risk. And
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: so you you know, you want to be concentrated in
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: an area or a few sectors, you know, pick a
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: few I know Ian has two tech two in next,
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: pick a few sectors that that you understand that you
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: see growth in, not just like growth now, but future growth,
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: future guidance, whether that's you know, technology or whether that's
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: the energy or that's healthcare. Look inside those those sectors
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: and especially inside those ecs. If you're going to go
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: stocks pick one or two, you don't need fifty companies.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: You don't even need thirty companies. You need a solid
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: core of companies that you understand. You know the business,
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: you might know the CEO if you if you're really
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: locked in, but you understand the growth story.
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: So I would say that.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: Shout out to the green Jacket community in Eyo University
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: of we liieve it's one hundred and sixty members now, yeah,
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: so that's the green Jacket club. If anybody that gets
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: over one thousand percent rate of return, yeah, on an
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: investment or core option trade. We have over one hundred
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: and sixty members in Eyo University with green jack Is
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: that earned the green jacket?
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: Well, we got one hundred and sixty in class of
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: twenty six, so the cut off for that was.
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: No, just in general, Yeah, no, no, it's more than that.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: So I saying just in general, yes, in general, yeah,
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: but we're so proud of you guys. Yes, thank you
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: so much, thank you so much for being a part
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: of ey University.
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: You are remember I am a Remember you remember I
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: am a Remember Yeah. Shout out to the Jackers. We're
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: looking forward to me and y'all. The biggest market surprise,
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: the biggest market surprise in general, oh the past week,
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: because we've had a hell of a week.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: I think that that that Leopold story is pretty pretty alarming,
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: a lot of lessons. When I text you as it happened,
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: I was like, this is gonna be a movie. Somebody's
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: gonna make a movie about this. To see how fast
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: Citadel came in and swooped up that portfolio. That was
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: interesting to see the companies that he was invested in.
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: I think that was interesting. But again I don't think
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: he was wrong and is in the companies he was
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: invested in. I think his strategy was wrong, but he
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: was He's they wouldn't want the portfolio if it was
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: companies that were going to tank or companies that you
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: know would be delisted. There's some solid companies that are
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: in that portfolio that they're going to have a ton
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: of growth still to go. I know blue Energy was
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: something that went crazy this year saying this obviously has
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: grown crazy over the past eighteen months.
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: So yeah, man, that.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: That what transpired on Thursday or why whatever day it was,
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: that was that was pretty surprising to me.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: He could be right and still be wrong. Somebody told
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: me this about life. In fact, sometimes it's not about
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: right and wrong, sometimes about right and smart.
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: I'll repeat that. We just heard this.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not necessarily about right or wrong, it's about
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: right and smart. So Leo, he wasn't wrong in his estimate,
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: but was he He's smart and doing the leverage play
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: and being so vocal and different things because he's right
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: about the stocks, but he's still lost. Sometimes you could
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: be right and still lose.
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: Lose. You know what, he didn't have Tom. You have
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: toime he wasn't. Tom wasn't an asset.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: And we always say that make time your number one
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: asset when you're investing. So if you're going stocks, make
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: sure you long term you keep them five, ten, fifteen, twenty,
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: maybe you never sell them, you pass them down. If
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: you're doing options, give yourself as enough time as possible
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: because when that expiration starts to near and that data
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: starts to decay, it's gonna be tough to come back
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: from so make sure you give yourself time. If he
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: had more time and he didn't over leverage, he could
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: have probably stood for another few weeks to
