  Speaker 1: Felix and Hugh here, and Hugh decided that you should know the four things to do to really really benefit from this extraordinary sort of once-in-a-generation type rally that we're in the middle of.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: So I'm going to walk you through the four things that most people aren't doing and that the smart investors are doing.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: If you think it gives me some value in that, put a four in the chat and smash the like button while we're at it.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: About 10% of you've done that so far Ungrateful bastards.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: So, in that spirit of sharing, as Hugh is generous, isn't he Very generous?
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: Also the naughtiest kitten that we have, so don't feel too bad for him.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: For me, manhandling the little bugger he seems to enjoy.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: It Keeps coming back.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: For me, manhandling the little bugger he seems to enjoy it Keeps coming back.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: So the first thing is you're going to learn the spot market patterns.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: Very simple reason the cats have gone bonkers.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: Yes, they're completely wild, they're everywhere.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: If you look at this chart, this is an interesting one.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: I'm going to take a screenshot of this.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: You've got three lines in here.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: I have to take off the glasses so I can get the colors right.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: There is a darkish sort of line, which is that one here, and that's the 1970s.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: They had a big, beautiful rally apparently I wasn't born then, I wouldn't really know and then you have this sort of greenish line here, and that was the 2000s.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: I remember that that's when I started.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: Investing Didn't end too well, I was on the wrong.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: Someone literally just almost knocked over a light.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: These guys are wild.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: And then you've got that sort of brownish, yellowish kind of a line there, and that's us right now, 2020s.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: So we right now are here.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: Right, we are here, which is what inspired the thumbnail, and if we follow this pattern, we potentially have a tremendous rally ahead of us.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Now you might realize that this is for gold, but it doesn't really matter.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: It's just sort of all asset classes tend to somewhat move in tandem.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: So we have a long way ahead of us, and understanding where you are in the cycle is very, very, very important.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Michael, appreciate the like there.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: Please be more UK oriented in your topics, says Charles.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Why, charles?
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: There are probably only one or two good British companies to invest in.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: The rest is a complete basket case.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: British pension funds are like making people poorer at a faster rate than any pension fund in the world.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: It's a terrible stock market the UK one.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: The French one is also horrible.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: The Germans is only doing all right because they're deep into war.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: If you would have thought.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: But yeah, generally speaking, stay away from European or let alone British stock markets, and I thought hard about whether I should include this or not, but I think you guys can handle it.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: That's why I put intermediate level on here.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: You don't just want to know where the market's at, because the market is made up of a bunch of sectors.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you what they are right now.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: They don't have money in the UK.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: No, they don't.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: They don't.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: They live off potatoes.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: All the money is basically all the good British companies were bought by Americans.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: They've just turned the whole thing into a vassal state, really, which I think is a revenge set up for you know.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: Anyway, let's move on.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: So this, for example, is one sector that I love right now.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: Why do I love it?
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Well, you need to understand patterns for that.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: So the first pattern is just literally draw it in.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: It really helps, right.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: And then what happened?
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: You connect the tops of that and that was the beginning of your breakout.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: That was the moment where we fell in love with war, temporarily, until she decides to no longer go up, and the market's obviously gone up very, very nicely.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: That means we like the defense sector and therefore we then look for good defense stocks that have similar patterns.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: We look for the best defense stocks that we know how to invest in.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: Let me show you one, shall.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: I show you one that's hideous.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: Do you want to see one that's hideous?
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: I bought an egg today.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: You see, some of the Brits are living in real splendor.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: As a Brit, we suck, I'm afraid so.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: So exchange rates?
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: Yes, exchange rates is an issue, but you know what it means.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: The dollar is cheaper.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: Make more bloody pounds and buy more american stocks, while american stocks are cheap.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: That's the way to look at that one.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: If you're retired, go and get a third job.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: You know work as a I don't know janitor or something.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: I'm joking, obviously.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: I'm just in a funny mood this evening.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Here is a sector that we hate.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: Why do we hate it?
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: Well, do the same exercise.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: Just chart the thing out by drawing over it, and what do you notice?
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: You are nowhere near the bloody top.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: It didn't break out.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: You're basically behaving like an English stock.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: This is the insurance sector.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: By the way, it's IAK stock.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: This is the insurance sector.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: By the way, it's IAK.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: It's this ETF that I'm looking at.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: We're down here, so this one we are not happy about.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: Therefore, we do not own insurance companies.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: Do you see what we did there?
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: We looked at two sectors One that's flying and from the moment that it was flying on, we were buying defense companies and I've talked about many defense companies in the last couple of weeks and insurance we haven't talked about because we don't like it, we're not in it.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: Even that moving average line there is moving down.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: So how can you check these sectors?
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: What's the easiest way of doing it?
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Take a screenshot.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: My friends, it's free advice, free information, free golden nuggets.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: These are ETFs for all the major sectors of the stock market.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: You can look up what each of them means and then you'll know.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Some of them are pretty easy, like F stands for finance, re stands for real estate and so on.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: But you'll quickly get the hang of what these are and watch these and go through these and look at which one is looking bullish according to Wall Street's patterns and which one is looking miserable, and then have a look at where your stocks sit.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: It's very simple, right, very, very simple.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Even the devil, moved his investment out of the UK.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I talked to some British pensioners and they're like Isaac said to them well, you know, you can just live off 4% of your money, right.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: And they're like what do you mean?
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: Like my portfolio has gone up like 3% on average or whatever.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: I'm like, oh my freaking God, just buy the S&P.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: We had 25% last year and it's likely to continue.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: Not because it did it last year, just because the good companies are all American.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: Now you want to take this one level further.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: Before the cats destroy my camera completely.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: We're going to go a heck of a lot deeper.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: And I still want to give you two more points here.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: By by the way, in tomorrow's live training, because that's an entirely educational thing we're not going to talk about the market.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: We're not going to talk about this stock or that stock.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: We're going to look at some case studies, obviously, but we're not going to be looking at the market open and the news of the day and that sort of thing.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: Purely educational, purely learning.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: When do we buy?
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: When do we sell?
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: How do we automate the bloody thing?
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: If you want to learn that, there is a link down below.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: I'll put it in the live chat for you as well.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: There we go.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: Felixfriendsorg slash training.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: Grab yourself a seat.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: I looked this morning.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: About a thousand of you had already signed up.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: So spots will go.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: Stay away from insurance, got it?
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: Yes, rolls-royce yes, that has a little bit of a defense angle in that sort of thing.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: So it's tomorrow 10 am.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: Sign up here for free.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: Thank you very much, casey.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: I appreciate you.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: There's another one Cut the freaking FOMO.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: If you chased Opendoor because everyone was talking about it three days ago, because it tripled or quadrupled or whatever, and you bought that, like many loons did at the top of the market here, right, that's where you FOMO bought it.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: How much are you down by?
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: Right now, 48%.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: So if you just want to destroy your money, there's a simpler way.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: You buy a one-way or actually you buy a return airfare to New York City.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: You go to Midtown Manhattan, you look for the chaps in the little fanny vests.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: They are investment bankers and then you just give them all your money.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: Because that's what you're doing.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: If you're buying the latest thing, you're buying the FOMO.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: You're reading the news.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: You're buying something because some YouTuber did a video on it.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: You are an uninformed gambler and you will lose your money.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: That's what FOMO does and, yes, sometimes you'll get lucky, but you have to realize you got lucky.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: So, please, please, please, stop chasing the latest bloody thing.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: The stock that's made me the most money this year is not an AI stock, it's not a crypto stock.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: It is Avis.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: You know, the car rental company really really freaking boring right, terrible service.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: That's Avis.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: It's up something like 100% right, and a bunch of other really boring stocks.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: So forget about the FOMO, look for the good setups, follow your rules and then and this is the most important thing siesta time.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: Well, not quite.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: They're still sort of bouncing off the walls.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: Really, where are they?
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: Can you see any of them?
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: Can we see any of them somewhere, Somewhere over the mountain?
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there are some over there by the window, up to naughtiness.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: They've also moved the camera.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: The camera angle is a bit off.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: The most important thing is this You've got to automate your profit-taking and your risk management.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: If you don't learn that lesson, it's going to be really really expensive.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: Anybody own Southwest Airlines.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: That's a stock that dropped 11% yesterday.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: It went from here all the way to there If you had set a stop a reasonable stop, below the recent low, which would have been about there.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: Well, you'd be down 3%.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: You wouldn't even notice it, you wouldn't even care about 3%, you'd just be like, yeah, whatever right, move on.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: But if you're still in this, you're presently down 11% and there is every chance it's going to go lower.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: So you want to avoid that.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: And then there was a lovely message.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: I should have taken a screenshot today.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: One of my students sent us today and he's basically saying he made some insane amount of money by having these stops set up, because he actually took profits and all the things that then went down.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: Because the market does not go up in a straight line, sectors, as we've already discussed, move in opposite directions and stuff that was good last week or last month can turn sour very, very, very quickly.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: So I have a golden rule, which is what we allow for three scenarios, and three scenarios only.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: The first is we have big wins, and that's, of course, always the goal.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: Secondly, we have small wins, and small wins are still beautiful because they're still wins.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: And then, thirdly, we have small losses, losers, and you will always have those.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: Unless you voluntarily take small losers, what's going to happen?
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: You've got big losers, big losers.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: Big losses delay your retirement by years, they make you work harder, they make you stressed, they make you sleep less well, they make you make stupid things because you want to make up for the losses, right?
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: So that's really what it's all about.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: Little losses are the biggest lessons to learn, says Scott Quite right, my friend Quite right.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: That's really the thing.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: And it's counterintuitive.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: It doesn't feel like fun and that is why you have to automate it.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: It is the only way to do it, because when something drops 11% or 3%, here you're going to be thinking, oh, maybe it'll go up, let's see if it recovers.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: And then it goes to 4% down.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: You're like, oh, I'll sell it when it's at 3%.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: And then it goes to minus 7%.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: And now you're thinking, oh, I sell at 4% and then it goes to minus 10%.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: And you think, oh, I'll sell when it goes back up to minus 7%.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: And then, before you know it, you lost all your money.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: And then you're going to come to me and go Felix, that stock you were talking about, it's down.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: Why is it down?
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: I'm like I don't know.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: Actually, I do know big money left it.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: Big money found something shinier.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: Big money decided they didn't like Southwest Airlines.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: I mean, who would right it's Southwest Airlines?
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: Who the heck likes airline stocks?
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: But this stock has been in a sort of sideways action for a while.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: It did look a little optimistic here, in fairness.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: But if you just bought here with a good entry point, what would have happened?
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: Well, actually possibly be up a little bit or you might be down about 2%.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: It doesn't matter.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: It's all about being in the right thing at the right time with automations.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: That's really what it's all about.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: If you learn those four things and they sink in and you want to dive into them a lot deeper, which is what we're going to do tomorrow, then join me at foodexpenseorg slash training.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: Again, there's a link down there, because sometimes stuff happens.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, indeed, sometimes stuff happens, and stuff happens all the freaking time, especially in the stock market.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: So what do I expect when AMD reports earnings with AI stocks?
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: I haven't got the faintest idea, my friend, I have not got a crystal ball.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: Nobody can read the future around earnings.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: They are high-risk events Again, something to realize, right and they only happen after the market closes.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: So there's nothing you can do about it.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: If it does tank, right, but you can sit there manually, but that isn't very much fun.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: So that's one of the risks you have to manage.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: Know how to handle.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: No ways of handling that.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: You can get out of it, you can hedge it, or you can I don't know just chew on your fingernails.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: Basically, you can get out of it, you can hedge it.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: That's basically the only thing.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: Well, you can also have a small enough position size that you don't really care.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: Either way, that's also an option.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: Hardest thing to do is profit-taking, not
