- 2:00Speaker 7: My graduates from my school being forced back drop bag
- 2:05Speaker 7: drop mic drop back drop drop.
- 2:18Speaker 5: Stock market investing right, talk about it.
- 2:21Speaker 4: What is your theory but from buying and holding and
- 2:27Speaker 4: day trading, because that's kind of like the two trains
- 2:29Speaker 4: of thought and investing. It was like day trading. Anybody's
- 2:31Speaker 4: not familiar day trading. That's when you're actually buying a
- 2:33Speaker 4: stock and you're trading it in today sometimes like within
- 2:36Speaker 4: a couple of minutes, and you're getting your profits. Whereas
- 2:40Speaker 4: buying hold, there's more of you're buying and you're holding
- 2:43Speaker 4: long term. That long term could be six months, a year,
- 2:45Speaker 4: and ten years, twenty five years, but you're not looking
- 2:48Speaker 4: to make quick decisions. So what's your theory between buying
- 2:54Speaker 4: long term and day trading?
- 2:56Speaker 8: Alright, So with buying long term, that's where the wealth
- 3:01Speaker 8: is at because when you buy a long term you're
- 3:06Speaker 8: not affected by the short term activities that go on
- 3:11Speaker 8: in the market, and you can't control that. So because
- 3:15Speaker 8: I can't control that, I want to say I'm willing
- 3:21Speaker 8: to wait that out.
- 3:23Speaker 2: Right, whereas with day trading, it's a high. It's like yo,
- 3:32Speaker 2: it just went up.
- 3:34Speaker 8: Im about to get this bread and I'm gonna get out.
- 3:38Speaker 8: But what people don't tell you about day trade and
- 3:41Speaker 8: I have nothing against it because the money in it,
- 3:44Speaker 8: but those capital gains taxes that come with it going
- 3:47Speaker 8: to eat away at your profit. Right with stock market,
- 3:52Speaker 8: With the way that I invest, my goal is to
- 3:56Speaker 8: just hold it at least for a year and a day.
- 3:58Speaker 4: So all right, let's talk about that capital gains for
- 4:01Speaker 4: most people, it's like fifteen percent for every person.
- 4:04Speaker 2: Nah, twenty twenty nine, twenty eight.
- 4:07Speaker 8: Short term capital gains, Oh yeah, you go, You're gonna
- 4:10Speaker 8: go with eighteen.
- 4:11Speaker 4: Yeah, because long term capital game is fifteen percent. So yeah,
- 4:13Speaker 4: so short term capital gains, yeah, it's higher. So capital
- 4:17Speaker 4: gains is when you sell a stock, you gotta pay
- 4:19Speaker 4: taxes on that. And as you said, the profit and
- 4:22Speaker 4: the short term capital gains is more than long term
- 4:26Speaker 4: capital gains, which is an incentive to hold it. And
- 4:28Speaker 4: the long term capital gain started a year, right, right,
- 4:30Speaker 4: So if.
- 4:30Speaker 6: I got I bought a stock one hundred dollars, I
- 4:33Speaker 6: made one hundred and fifty. I'm paying a tax on
- 4:34Speaker 6: the fifth.
- 4:34Speaker 2: You're gonna pay a tax on a fifty.
- 4:36Speaker 8: Now, if you hold it for a year and a day,
- 4:39Speaker 8: you're only gonna pay about twelve percent. If you hold
- 4:42Speaker 8: it for six months, you'll pay about twenty two. So
- 4:46Speaker 8: the goal is just and so the goal in building wealth,
- 4:49Speaker 8: and it's simply this. It's not about how much money
- 4:52Speaker 8: you make, it's about how much you keep.
- 4:54Speaker 5: That's the fact.
- 4:56Speaker 8: So for me, I want to keep as much as
- 4:58Speaker 8: I can. And so if I got a hold it
- 5:02Speaker 8: for a year and a day. I'm cool with that.
- 5:04Speaker 8: I'm cool with it because I've gained equity in it.
- 5:07Speaker 8: And if they're paying divid dandces, I don't got some.
- 5:09Speaker 8: I don't got full quarters with the dividends. I mean
- 5:12Speaker 8: my bread, I'm good. And that's the part of like
- 5:16Speaker 8: trading that people don't talk about.
- 5:18Speaker 2: Right.
- 5:18Speaker 5: It's like you said, it's not sexy.
- 5:20Speaker 4: It ain't sexy, and they want they want short term
- 5:23Speaker 4: gratification without you know, being in it for the long haul, right.
- 5:28Speaker 4: And the thing about it is that nothing happens overnight, nothing,
- 5:32Speaker 4: and you don't. You don't build wealth overnight as well.
- 5:35Speaker 4: And it's important. I always tell my climb my financial advice.
- 5:38Speaker 4: I tell my clients whole time, you have to you
- 5:40Speaker 4: have to diversify, Like you can't put all your eggs
- 5:42Speaker 4: in any one basket. Right, You got diversified, so you
- 5:45Speaker 4: might have real estate, but it doesn't. It's not healthy
- 5:49Speaker 4: to just put every dollar that you have into me now, right.
- 5:51Speaker 4: It does. It's common sense for a lot of different reasons.
- 5:55Speaker 4: But stocks is a key wealth building tool. It should
- 5:59Speaker 4: definitely be part of somebody. Most people are invested in
- 6:01Speaker 4: stock market without them even knowing it because of the
- 6:03Speaker 4: four one K plan. So dividends, right, because this is
- 6:06Speaker 4: something that we haven't covered, and a lot of people
- 6:09Speaker 4: have heard of dividends, but they don't fully understand what
- 6:11Speaker 4: a dividend is.
- 6:12Speaker 5: So what is a dividend?
- 6:13Speaker 6: You said, that's one of the strategies you use. Yeah,
- 6:15Speaker 6: I love them stocks with it.
- 6:16Speaker 8: Yeah, So what happens is dividends are a portion of
- 6:20Speaker 8: the profit that companies pay to people who are invested
- 6:23Speaker 8: in a business, not the revenue, but the profit. So
- 6:27Speaker 8: if I have a business that brings in ten thousand
- 6:30Speaker 8: dollars a month and I profit five thousand dollars a month,
- 6:36Speaker 8: then out of that five thousand dollars, I'll take a
- 6:39Speaker 8: percentage of that, which is called the dividend yield, and
- 6:42Speaker 8: I'll pay it to my investors as a part of
- 6:46Speaker 8: saying hey, thank you for investing in my business.
- 6:49Speaker 6: Is it paid equally or it obviously, depending on how
- 6:52Speaker 6: many shares you have, you.
- 6:52Speaker 2: Get more not. Yeah, well the dividend is the same.
- 6:56Speaker 8: So if I pay fifty cent a ship, everybody, which
- 6:58Speaker 8: is two dollars a year, everybody gets that depending on
- 7:03Speaker 8: how much you have. If you got five, I have ten,
- 7:06Speaker 8: you have fifteen, then we will all get a different amount,
- 7:08Speaker 8: but the underlying asset value is the same.
- 7:11Speaker 4: So what are what are what are some top companies
- 7:14Speaker 4: as far as dividends these days?
- 7:15Speaker 2: What are they at?
- 7:17Speaker 8: And T pays six that's major now they So this
- 7:25Speaker 8: is a dupe part. So we talk about real estate, right,
- 7:29Speaker 8: the real estate aspect of the stock market, which is
- 7:32Speaker 8: called real estate investment trust, which is a rip, which
- 7:37Speaker 8: is saying I can own Walmart as a business, and
- 7:42Speaker 8: I can own the people who Walmart pay rent to
- 7:46Speaker 8: because they don't own the building, they just own the name.
- 7:50Speaker 8: Like Amazon has a warehouse, I can own Amazon, and
- 7:55Speaker 8: I can also own the warehouse who pay who Amazon
- 8:00Speaker 8: pays the rent to? Rates pay higher dividends. We talking
- 8:05Speaker 8: twelve percent, nine percent, seven percent, So individual stocks, uh
- 8:13Speaker 8: AT and T Macy's centuryly, Now that's a bad business,
- 8:21Speaker 8: but they pay a high dividend.
- 8:23Speaker 2: That's what it's called a dividend trap. We're not gonna
- 8:25Speaker 2: get into that.
- 8:26Speaker 6: How they disperse quarterly, how they disperse.
- 8:28Speaker 2: So every business is different.
- 8:29Speaker 8: So with a lot of the rates they come out,
- 8:33Speaker 8: some of them pay monthly and some Remember I was
- 8:35Speaker 8: telling you that I have businesses.
- 8:37Speaker 2: One of my businesses is Apple Reality.
- 8:40Speaker 8: They own one hundred and twenty eight Schratons and Hilton's
- 8:45Speaker 8: and two hundred and something Marriotts. They're not going out
- 8:49Speaker 8: of business in the time zoom. But they pay me,
- 8:52Speaker 8: I think, at a nine percent rate on their rates
- 8:55Speaker 8: and they pay that monthly. So every month they're paying me.
- 8:59Speaker 5: So that's not sending the money that you have invested.
- 9:01Speaker 8: No, that's nine percent of the stock price. Okay, right,
- 9:04Speaker 8: so that's all the dividend yield is. So a dividend
- 9:07Speaker 8: yield is this. If the stock price is one hundred
- 9:09Speaker 8: dollars and a dividend yield is five percent, then your
- 9:13Speaker 8: dividend is five percent of that one hundred dollars.
- 9:16Speaker 2: That's what you're getting paid. Okay, that makes sense.
- 9:19Speaker 4: It's passive, superpass passive, but you do have to have
- 9:22Speaker 4: large amount for it to It's the truth. But you
- 9:25Speaker 4: were saying that you have to start looking at it like, okay,
- 9:30Speaker 4: just to pay my cell phone?
- 9:32Speaker 2: Your freedom?
- 9:33Speaker 8: Can you talk about at and T but you So
- 9:36Speaker 8: what happened to me was I started asking myself, how.
- 9:40Speaker 2: Do I buy back my freedom? Right? Like, how do
- 9:44Speaker 2: I buy it back?
- 9:44Speaker 8: That's right, because it's not given to you, just like
- 9:49Speaker 8: you know, shadow slavery, Like I'm not going to give
- 9:51Speaker 8: it to you. You got to buy it back. You gotta
- 9:52Speaker 8: fight for it. So I was like, how do I
- 9:55Speaker 8: buy back my freedom with the stock market? Because you
- 10:00Speaker 8: can't save to investigate it back, right, we know that
- 10:03Speaker 8: you can't work a bunch of hours to get it back.
- 10:06Speaker 8: So the next best thing for me was dividends. So
- 10:11Speaker 8: I was like, Okay, what do I use every day?
- 10:16Speaker 8: My phone bill? At and T and I have Apple product.
- 10:22Speaker 8: So because AT and T pays a five percent six
- 10:25Speaker 8: percent dividend year, I was like, okay, I need this
- 10:28Speaker 8: many shares of this business to pay off my phone bill.
- 10:35Speaker 2: Every four months.
- 10:37Speaker 8: Because AT and T pays quarterly, which is every three months,
- 10:42Speaker 8: Disney pays semi annually, which is twice a year, and
- 10:46Speaker 8: then you have some businesses that pay every month.
- 10:49Speaker 2: Right, So I was like, Okay, if I can get
- 10:52Speaker 2: AT and T to pay my.
- 10:54Speaker 8: Phone bill through their dividends full times a year, then
- 11:01Speaker 8: I have essentially bought back my freedom because I no
- 11:04Speaker 8: longer have to work to pay for that phone bill.
- 11:06Speaker 2: AT and T paying for me and.
- 11:09Speaker 8: So you can do that which your if you're in Georgia,
- 11:14Speaker 8: you can use Southern Company, which is another great dividend business.
- 11:18Speaker 8: How much is your phone bill and your light buil
- 11:21Speaker 8: eighty one hundred dollars? They pay like a three four
- 11:24Speaker 8: percent dividend. Figure out how much the dividend is per quarter,
- 11:30Speaker 8: how many shares your need of that business, and then.
- 11:34Speaker 2: Let that pay your light bail.
- 11:35Speaker 8: So if you can give your dividends from a business
- 11:37Speaker 8: to pay your light buil and your phone bill, you've
- 11:40Speaker 8: bought back some of your freedom because now you can
- 11:42Speaker 8: take that money and invest it and do something else
- 11:45Speaker 8: with it. That's optimizing your money. The money is just
- 11:49Speaker 8: a tool. We know that much. So if we can
- 11:52Speaker 8: use the tool to do that it's supposed to do,
- 11:55Speaker 8: then we get maximum value for it.
- 11:57Speaker 4: And that's so once you fully understand that thing, you
- 12:00Speaker 4: start to understand that. It's like Spanish, right, So I
- 12:04Speaker 4: don't know how mean Spanish people in New Orleans, but
- 12:06Speaker 4: they got half of like seventy percent of New York
- 12:10Speaker 4: is Spanish. Maybe not fifty percent, Yeah, fifty percent of
- 12:14Speaker 4: New York is Spanish. So I say, I have to
- 12:17Speaker 4: say when you're around Spanish enough, you start to understand
- 12:20Speaker 4: it a little bit better. Maybe you might not be
- 12:22Speaker 4: able to speak it, but you can kind of have
- 12:23Speaker 4: a general understanding of Right, the same thing with investing.
- 12:27Speaker 4: When you're around the language of investing, it starts to
- 12:30Speaker 4: make sense and you realize that they're all kind of similar.
- 12:34Speaker 4: It's just like actually when you learn foreign languages, like
- 12:37Speaker 4: Spanish is similar to French. They all come from like
- 12:40Speaker 4: a Dane. Yeah, they're all kind of similar. I forget
- 12:43Speaker 4: where they actually the route came from. But long story
- 12:46Speaker 4: short of it is that what you just explained was
- 12:49Speaker 4: the same theory that dj MVY explained to us. He
- 12:52Speaker 4: says that he doesn't buy any liability until he has
- 12:55Speaker 4: an asset to pay for. His thing is real estate,
- 12:57Speaker 4: So he buys a home and now he has a
- 12:59Speaker 4: home to actually pay rental for his Lamborghini or something
- 13:06Speaker 4: like that. Like what I'm saying, So you just bring
- 13:07Speaker 4: it down a small level.
- 13:09Speaker 6: But because I mean, that's key though, right if you
- 13:11Speaker 6: break it out a small level like.
- 13:12Speaker 5: Well, yeah, well and then and then also people have
- 13:14Speaker 5: to understand too.
- 13:15Speaker 4: Is that so people might say, okay, well I got
- 13:17Speaker 4: to put two thousand dollars into a stock to get
- 13:20Speaker 4: one hundred dollars diffidend, it's not worth it. But the
- 13:23Speaker 4: thing about it is that it's not like you're paying
- 13:26Speaker 4: for something. You're investing, so that two thousand is going
- 13:28Speaker 4: to grow over the course of time while you're getting
- 13:30Speaker 4: your diffidends. So it's not like you just putting your
- 13:33Speaker 4: money into never ever Land. It's actually going to an
- 13:35Speaker 4: investment that will probably gain value over the course of time.
- 13:38Speaker 4: But in the meantime, you're actually gaining income that you
- 13:42Speaker 4: can use via the dividend. And now you can actually
- 13:45Speaker 4: use that to support your lifestyle because, like you said,
- 13:47Speaker 4: you got to find a way to actually make money
- 13:51Speaker 4: while you're sleep. That's what Warren Buffet said, right. He
- 13:53Speaker 4: said it said if you don't make money while you're
- 13:55Speaker 4: sleeping works. So by doing that, now you're actually Okay,
- 14:00Speaker 4: Now I can, like you said, you can focus on Okay,
- 14:02Speaker 4: now I did that. Now I gotta do something to
- 14:04Speaker 4: pay all right, I got to pay my mortgage, and
- 14:06Speaker 4: I gotta do something to pay my card bill. And
- 14:08Speaker 4: then before you know it, you're not actually paying anything yourself.
- 14:12Speaker 4: It's all being paid for you, which leaves you more
- 14:15Speaker 4: money because that two hundred that now you can actually
- 14:18Speaker 4: reinvest and do other things and just kind of like
- 14:20Speaker 4: a domino.
- 14:21Speaker 6: Fest like Lord said, but it's like yo, I treat
- 14:23Speaker 6: money like little soldiers.
- 14:24Speaker 2: They have to go work, listen.
- 14:26Speaker 8: But also also he's forgetting something that's major, the ownership.
- 14:34Speaker 2: Yep, you feel me.
- 14:35Speaker 8: So while your money is working for you through the dividends,
- 14:39Speaker 8: your ownership, your equity is also increasing. So that's how
- 14:45Speaker 8: you like you leverage the game with that.
- 14:47Speaker 4: And that's something that people don't understand either. It's like
- 14:49Speaker 4: people's like, well, everybody's not an entrepreneur. I don't want
- 14:52Speaker 4: to own a business. There's a lot that comes with
- 14:54Speaker 4: owning a business. But there's more than one way to
- 14:56Speaker 4: own a business. If you buy a stock, you're an owner,
- 14:59Speaker 4: and that come that's one that's probably the easiest way
- 15:03Speaker 4: to own a business. Now you're not going to be
- 15:07Speaker 4: a majority owner, but it doesn't matter, it doesn't you're
- 15:10Speaker 4: still an owner.
- 15:11Speaker 2: Something better.
- 15:12Speaker 8: So Warren Buffett owns six percent of Coca Cola, right,
- 15:18Speaker 8: so he's still not a majority owner, but he still
- 15:22Speaker 8: has say sol and this is the one thing about
- 15:25Speaker 8: the stock market that I love. I still can vote
- 15:29Speaker 8: on every business that I own, and they have to
- 15:32Speaker 8: acknowledge me, like, I literally bought three shells of brickshot
- 15:36Speaker 8: have the way B. Let's make sure I say.
- 15:37Speaker 6: That, B.
- 15:39Speaker 5: What's what's the add hundred somethings.
- 15:42Speaker 2: Go up to one hundred. It's three hundred and some thousand.
- 15:45Speaker 2: There's a difference. It's a big difference. So let me
- 15:47Speaker 2: say because I don't know nobody to be like, hey man,
- 15:49Speaker 2: you gotta you ain't got no man.
- 15:51Speaker 4: I heard.
- 15:53Speaker 2: Feel it. So I literally bought three shares of Berkshaw
- 15:58Speaker 2: b which is.
- 15:59Speaker 5: Which is Warren Buffert's companybody.
- 16:01Speaker 2: Yes, I bought my daughter. That's another thing.
- 16:04Speaker 8: So at three years old, my daughter has five thousand
- 16:06Speaker 8: dollars invested in the stock.
- 16:07Speaker 5: Oh I want to talk about that? You yeah? Finished.
- 16:09Speaker 2: But I bought three shares of Birkshaw Beat so I
- 16:15Speaker 2: could go to.
- 16:16Speaker 8: The Warren Buffett annual meeting and I had right to
- 16:20Speaker 8: vote on anything in Omaha.
- 16:22Speaker 2: Yeah, I went to NIPS. That's when everything happened.
- 16:26Speaker 8: I'm going next year for show for Shure, and the
- 16:28Speaker 8: only way you can go is if you own at
- 16:30Speaker 8: least one share, right, So I was like, okay, cool,
- 16:33Speaker 8: and you actually get to talk to this man.
- 16:35Speaker 4: So I'm glad you said that about your daughter because
- 16:37Speaker 4: speaking of Nip. Actually, when we I posted about Nip,
- 16:41Speaker 4: you commented on that post for sure about and you
- 16:44Speaker 4: were talking about a custodian account for your daughter. So
- 16:47Speaker 4: I had put a post up that, like, if you
- 16:49Speaker 4: celebrate Christmas or for kids' birthdays, a suggestion is that
- 16:53Speaker 4: you know, if you're going to spend two hundred dollars
- 16:56Speaker 4: on gifts, maybe spend one hundred dollars on the gifts
- 16:58Speaker 4: and one hundred dollars on an anostment.
- 16:59Speaker 5: Right, You like, well, how do I do that?
- 17:01Speaker 2: So I walk you through that.
- 17:03Speaker 5: Yeah, exactly.
- 17:05Speaker 8: So it's basically, I don't buy my daughter toys at all,
- 17:11Speaker 8: I told her mom, And I'm like, listen, I'll buy clothes,
- 17:14Speaker 8: i'll buy food, I'll buy necessities, but everything else I'm
- 17:18Speaker 8: buying stocks. So just walking it's called a UGMA account,
- 17:23Speaker 8: it's a custodial com I use TDM ror Trade and
- 17:26Speaker 8: all you're doing is is just like opening up a
- 17:28Speaker 8: bank account, and you'll just add your kid to it.
- 17:32Speaker 8: And what happens is you have actual control of the
- 17:36Speaker 8: account until the kid is eighteen. Once the kid makes eighteen,
- 17:43Speaker 8: then they have control. My thing is simple, and so
- 17:47Speaker 8: this is how we shift the dynamics, Like that's this
- 17:50Speaker 8: ownership stuff is real powerful to me.
- 17:53Speaker 2: My daughter is three and I invest money for her.
- 17:57Speaker 8: Monthly weekly right Right now, my daughter at three can
- 18:01Speaker 8: tell you what assets and liabilities are.
- 18:03Speaker 2: These is a conversation that we have.
- 18:05Speaker 8: Right she knows I said what dividends come from, She'll say,
- 18:08Speaker 8: dividends come from shells.
- 18:09Speaker 2: She'll say that.
- 18:10Speaker 8: By the time she's eighteen, she'll already be six figures
- 18:17Speaker 8: her own network.
- 18:19Speaker 2: That's powerful. That's a whole nother dynamic.
- 18:23Speaker 8: We've put her in position to have privileged opportunities.
- 18:28Speaker 2: Right.
- 18:29Speaker 8: Also, we've now established to her the importance of ownership.
- 18:37Speaker 5: Right.
- 18:37Speaker 8: So what happened with us when we was kids, I
- 18:39Speaker 8: don't know about y'all. When I was kids, money was
- 18:41Speaker 8: always scarce, like we ain't gonna money for that.
- 18:44Speaker 2: We got bills, right, you know.
- 18:47Speaker 8: But now at three, she can talk to me about
- 18:51Speaker 8: Disney stoff.
- 18:53Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying. So for me, that's what
- 18:55Speaker 2: I do.
- 18:55Speaker 8: Everything we do right now, her account, I think she
- 18:57Speaker 8: had like fifty five hundred because I've been buying these
- 19:00Speaker 8: weed stocks since they've been on sale and I bought
- 19:02Speaker 8: some for her.
- 19:03Speaker 2: Can it be growth?
- 19:05Speaker 3: What was the name of the account at the bank,
- 19:07Speaker 3: the type of account, It's called a custodial account, but
- 19:10Speaker 3: when you look it up on the TD Amelitrade, it's
- 19:12Speaker 3: going to be called U G and me.
- 19:14Speaker 6: Can it go through? I know you said TD Melitarde,
- 19:16Speaker 6: but I'll do it. Is it all through other banks
- 19:17Speaker 6: as well?
- 19:18Speaker 1: Well?
- 19:18Speaker 2: I went through.
- 19:19Speaker 8: You can go through Fidelity, Charles Swab most of them have.
- 19:24Speaker 4: Yeah, they have account. They have five twenty nine, which
- 19:28Speaker 4: is a college savings plan a couple of different ways.
- 19:30Speaker 8: I don't like the five twenty nine. Why not because
- 19:32Speaker 8: it's boxed in. That's true, it's boxed and just you
- 19:35Speaker 8: have to use vocal.
- 19:36Speaker 4: Well, they actually changed it with the new tax law
- 19:38Speaker 4: and now you canay any form of education.
- 19:40Speaker 5: Okay, it don't have to be used. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 19:43Speaker 5: you get penalized.
- 19:44Speaker 8: And so with the with the custodio account, she used
- 19:48Speaker 8: for whatever she wants at eighteen.
- 19:50Speaker 2: So that's why it's good for you. Now you can
- 19:52Speaker 2: build that conversation.
- 19:54Speaker 8: That's why it's good for us to learn how to
- 19:55Speaker 8: invest because our kids are going to do what they
- 19:59Speaker 8: see us doing. That's just a natural fact. We all
- 20:01Speaker 8: are creatures of our environment.
- 20:03Speaker 2: It is what it is.
- 20:05Speaker 8: So we start having these conversations with them at a
- 20:07Speaker 8: young age. Like her favorite book right now is a
- 20:10Speaker 8: book called the Evolution of Money.
- 20:12Speaker 2: Right, she'd be like that, let's read the Evolution of
- 20:14Speaker 2: Money right and three.
- 20:17Speaker 5: You know what I'm trying to read. Yeah, yeah, I'm
- 20:19Speaker 5: trying to figure out.
- 20:21Speaker 3: We walked through this as a parent, I'm in educating
- 20:27Speaker 3: my son is thest five and these.
- 20:30Speaker 2: What I mean? She read?
- 20:31Speaker 8: She she I will say this she identifies words, all right, Okay, so.
- 20:35Speaker 2: I'm not gonna say like she likes Yeah, I'm not
- 20:37Speaker 2: gonna say like she on some dougie.
- 20:41Speaker 4: She identifies words now, But that's shouldn't be powerful, like
- 20:44Speaker 4: you said, because the parents have to leave it by example.
- 20:46Speaker 5: You have to if you don't have an example for.
- 20:48Speaker 2: You, Ernest, what's up?
- 20:50Speaker 3: You ever walk into a small business and everything just works,

- 24:10Speaker 4: it's not fake, it's not phony, it's natural. And a
- 24:13Speaker 4: lot of times until yeah, people feel like they have
- 24:15Speaker 4: to like dumb themselves down to be accepted or you can't.
- 24:20Speaker 4: You got to watch how you speak because you don't
- 24:21Speaker 4: want to sound too intelligent.
- 24:23Speaker 5: Right, these things is real.
- 24:27Speaker 4: I'm glad that that I think that the tide is
- 24:29Speaker 4: starting to turn on that it is.
- 24:31Speaker 8: I actually like I love the the temperature that's going
- 24:36Speaker 8: on right now, just with even with you all, you know,
- 24:40Speaker 8: I'm like, bro, like y'all, y'all shifting the culture with this.
- 24:43Speaker 8: Appreciate you know what I'm saying, because there are a
- 24:46Speaker 8: lot of podcasts out there, right, everybody.
- 24:49Speaker 2: Everybody has something to say. It's a fact.
- 24:52Speaker 5: That's a fact.
- 24:53Speaker 8: Right, Everybody has something to say and they want to
- 24:55Speaker 8: say it in their own unique way. What I love
- 24:58Speaker 8: about y'all have it. However, you're gonna come speak speak it.
- 25:04Speaker 8: You feel what I'm saying like, there is no Hey,
- 25:07Speaker 8: we can't like whatever you want to speak about. But
- 25:10Speaker 8: it's all about the improvement of the culture. As far
- 25:14Speaker 8: as you know financial literacy, and I know you was
- 25:17Speaker 8: in the finance.
- 25:18Speaker 2: Bro, so that's a whole nother life.
- 25:20Speaker 6: Next, right, the ownership ownership, Right, nobody's telling the right.
- 25:24Speaker 6: Make sure y'all cover this bay. We're gonna put the cameras.
- 25:28Speaker 6: Werena go hard speaking, right, it's problem man.
- 25:31Speaker 2: I remember you posted something.
- 25:33Speaker 8: You said something about ownership, something to be posted like recently,
- 25:37Speaker 8: and I love when you post certain stuff because I
- 25:41Speaker 8: can come in there and just go harder. Right, I'll
- 25:43Speaker 8: be waiting, like, come on, man, come with it. Like so,
- 25:46Speaker 8: and somebody complained about you talk. It was about taxes,
- 25:52Speaker 8: and I said, the problem is that because somebody said,
- 25:56Speaker 8: why don't they.
- 25:57Speaker 5: Teach you the wealthiest people?
- 26:00Speaker 8: Yeah, And so I was like, yo, why would they
- 26:04Speaker 8: teach us this in school?
- 26:06Speaker 2: It's not that they should teach us. Why would they? Right,
- 26:11Speaker 2: So this is a dope analogy that I always use.
- 26:15Speaker 8: So we know that the lion is at the top
- 26:18Speaker 8: of the food chain, right, So he's not the king
- 26:21Speaker 8: of the jungle, like we feel like that's some bullshit. Right,
- 26:23Speaker 8: here's in a Safaris so I'm not gonna say that shit.
- 26:26Speaker 8: But he's at the top of the food chain. The
- 26:30Speaker 8: lion cannot tell the zebra, the impilor.
- 26:36Speaker 2: Or the water buffalo how to get away. He can't.
- 26:40Speaker 2: If I tell you how to get away? What do
- 26:43Speaker 2: I eat? What do I eat?
- 26:46Speaker 8: Either I become a vegetarian or I eat my own kind? Right,
- 26:52Speaker 8: So he can't and if he did, they would tell
- 26:55Speaker 8: one another how to get away.
- 26:58Speaker 2: Same thing with this the upper echelon or.
- 27:03Speaker 8: The financial predators, we are the financial prey. I can't
- 27:09Speaker 8: teach you how to get away, but if you learn,
- 27:11Speaker 8: I can't stop you. I can't stop you.
- 27:16Speaker 2: Wealthy people don't meet wealthy people. Rich poor people do. Fact,
- 27:21Speaker 2: because we.
- 27:22Speaker 8: Have no relationship with money. So I can't teach you
- 27:25Speaker 8: how to get away and what I'm gonna do. But
- 27:27Speaker 8: I'm gonna teach my kids how to be predators. And
- 27:29Speaker 8: I'm teaching my daughter how to be a predator, not
- 27:31Speaker 8: on people, but just how to have ownership.
- 27:34Speaker 2: They can't teach you that in school.
- 27:36Speaker 4: Why what they Yeah, that's like, yeah, that's what. That's
- 27:39Speaker 4: what the five percenters say, like eighty five percents by tempercent,
- 27:43Speaker 4: which is like the bloodsuckers are the poor and the
- 27:45Speaker 4: five percent the poor righteous teachers. But we're not poor,
- 27:49Speaker 4: but we.
- 27:50Speaker 2: Right facts, we're gonnaerate that.
- 27:54Speaker 4: We're gonna take the poor part out that because like that,
- 27:56Speaker 4: we we're gonna even pay the full like that, you know,
- 28:00Speaker 4: because yeah, we're gonna We're gonna liberate the people from
- 28:02Speaker 4: the bloodsuckers of the poor for.
- 28:04Speaker 5: Sure, for the facts.
- 28:05Speaker 2: Appreciate that.
- 28:06Speaker 6: Can we just talk about investing in ETFs.
- 28:08Speaker 8: Let's talk about so explain Can you explain what the
- 28:11Speaker 8: ETF is and then how so ETF is an exchange
- 28:15Speaker 8: traded fund, So it's basically this is this is so
- 28:19Speaker 8: all my people tell me, like I just had the
- 28:20Speaker 8: dopest analogies, bro, Like I come up with them because
- 28:22Speaker 8: I love to relate to people. Right, So ETF is
- 28:25Speaker 8: like saying this without even getting technical. Let's say you're
- 28:27Speaker 8: going Walmart. Right, You're going Walmart, and you don't know
- 28:31Speaker 8: what you want to buy, so you buy the whole store.
- 28:35Speaker 2: That's an index fund.
- 28:37Speaker 8: Let's say you go to Walmart and you want to
- 28:39Speaker 8: buy a specific kind of pop tarts. Right, so you
- 28:43Speaker 8: go to the pop tart our and you see so
- 28:45Speaker 8: many flavors of pop tarts. You're like, you know what,
- 28:47Speaker 8: I just want this whole hour of pop tarts, So
- 28:50Speaker 8: you buy the whole out of pop tarts.
- 28:52Speaker 2: That's the ETF. Doesn't make sense. So what the ETF is.
- 28:56Speaker 8: It's a group of businesses that operate the same or
- 28:59Speaker 8: self simuli products. Example, you want to invest in marijuana,
- 29:03Speaker 8: but you don't know which marijuana stock to buy. You
- 29:06Speaker 8: buy either a marijuana ETF called YOLO, or you buy
- 29:10Speaker 8: MJ And now at this point you have.
- 29:11Speaker 2: All the marijuana stocks. They're all onside. That's an ETF.
- 29:14Speaker 8: Gotcha A trick to that is this, You can buy
- 29:18Speaker 8: ETF and because they've already done the homework, because they
- 29:21Speaker 8: gonna have the best performance stocks in the ETF. At
- 29:23Speaker 8: that point, you can see you can go to what's
- 29:26Speaker 8: called ETF dB, which is ETF database.
- 29:29Speaker 2: I'm giving y'all some game, right, good, Like, you go.
- 29:31Speaker 8: To ETF database, you put that ETF in and they'll
- 29:34Speaker 8: tell you every ETF that's in the ETF, and then
- 29:37Speaker 8: they'll tell you how much of a percentage of that
- 29:40Speaker 8: ETF is holding that business. So it'll say this ETF
- 29:45Speaker 8: has fifteen percent of cannopy growth. I mean for every
- 29:49Speaker 8: dollar you put enough, fifteen percent of that is going
- 29:50Speaker 8: to cannopy growth. It may have ten percent of Aurora cannabis.
- 29:54Speaker 8: It may have five percent of chromes. So you can
- 29:57Speaker 8: literally say, Okay, I don't want to do the homework.
- 29:59Speaker 8: I want to be I'll go to the ETF, see
- 30:02Speaker 8: what's one they hold, and just pick the top companies
- 30:03Speaker 8: in the ETF. And at that point you went, Now,
- 30:06Speaker 8: you don't know the value of it. That's why that's
- 30:08Speaker 8: what I teach people about value, how to value it.
- 30:10Speaker 8: But if you just want to be a lazy investor,
- 30:12Speaker 8: you can all you can just do that because ETF
- 30:14Speaker 8: is gonna have the top performing businesses in that sector
- 30:16Speaker 8: inside the ETF, and you just picked.
- 30:18Speaker 5: That and indexed funds.
- 30:21Speaker 8: So index funds would be you buying a whole market.
- 30:24Speaker 8: Now they are broken down different ways. So you can
- 30:29Speaker 8: buy the Dial Jones, you can buy the S and
- 30:33Speaker 8: P five hundred, these are indexes as well. Yeah, you
- 30:35Speaker 8: can buy a Nastak, you can buy the Rustle two thousand,
- 30:38Speaker 8: which are the full majors. Then you can break it
- 30:42Speaker 8: down and say, okay, I just want to get a
- 30:44Speaker 8: large cap ETF. So that's all businesses that have one billion,
- 30:50Speaker 8: two billion are better, right, so every business in here
- 30:54Speaker 8: is going to be two billion dollars or better ten billion.
- 30:56Speaker 8: I'm sorry, ten billion are better. Then you can buy
- 30:59Speaker 8: a mi cap, which businesses that stop at two billion.
- 31:03Speaker 8: And then you can buy a small cap, which is
- 31:05Speaker 8: businesses under two billion, two billion dollars worth under two
- 31:08Speaker 8: billion dollars market cap.
- 31:09Speaker 4: Yeah, the market cap, so market capitalization, that's kind of
- 31:14Speaker 4: how they categorize stop.
- 31:15Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 31:16Speaker 4: And I always like the analogy that I use is
- 31:18Speaker 4: like you have giant cap large cap.
- 31:21Speaker 5: Those are like you know, giant companies hundred billion better.
- 31:25Speaker 4: Yeah, Then you have you know, mid cap, then you
- 31:27Speaker 4: have a small cap, and you have micro cap. So
- 31:30Speaker 4: the thing is that usually and correct me if I'm wrong.
- 31:34Speaker 4: The larger the cap, the less volatile, Like it's almost
- 31:37Speaker 4: impossible for Apple to just fall apart overnight, and they're
- 31:40Speaker 4: also not going to quad droople over night either, where
- 31:42Speaker 4: a smaller company, good news can send their stocks skyrocketing,
- 31:46Speaker 4: but then bad news can bankrupt them. So it's kind
- 31:48Speaker 4: of like a speedboat and a cruise ship, like a
- 31:52Speaker 4: we work situation.
- 31:55Speaker 8: We got to talk about we work. We can talk
- 31:57Speaker 8: about we work. But that's called beta. What you're talking
- 32:01Speaker 8: about the volatility. So if you're going to invest in
- 32:03Speaker 8: the stock, you can look at the beta of it.
- 32:05Speaker 8: A low beta means it's not volatile. A high beta
- 32:09Speaker 8: means like Tesla, high beta, high risk.
- 32:11Speaker 2: High reward, right.
- 32:13Speaker 8: But McDonald's probably a beta of zero point nine, right,
- 32:18Speaker 8: So it's not gonna you know, it's not like you're
- 32:20Speaker 8: not about the week. Up to day, McDonald's is at
- 32:22Speaker 8: two thirty and tomorrow tomorrow is at one fifty. That's
- 32:25Speaker 8: not about app But with Tesla you'll wake up today's
- 32:28Speaker 8: at to fifty.
- 32:29Speaker 2: Tomorrow you can wake up.
- 32:30Speaker 8: Is that one to eighty easy, right, So high beta
- 32:34Speaker 8: and the market cap is just simply this. If I
- 32:37Speaker 8: have ten shares of my business on the stock market,
- 32:41Speaker 8: and there were ten dollars a share at that point.
- 32:44Speaker 8: I have one hundred dollars market cap. So it's how
- 32:46Speaker 8: many outstanding shares on the market times of stock price,
- 32:50Speaker 8: that's how much. That's how you can tell what the
- 32:52Speaker 8: market cap is of a business.
- 32:53Speaker 5: Can we talk about that? We work situation.
- 32:55Speaker 2: Let's talk about it.
- 32:56Speaker 4: So, yeah, if anybody's not familiar, we work was the
- 33:00Speaker 4: talk of Wall Street.
- 33:01Speaker 5: It was IPO. They were the most.
- 33:03Speaker 2: Valuable forty five billions coming in at forty.
- 33:06Speaker 5: Five something.
- 33:09Speaker 4: And they fell apart and now they had to withdraw
- 33:14Speaker 4: their IPO. The CEO got fired, stepped down, step down,
- 33:18Speaker 4: he lost his billionaire status.
- 33:20Speaker 2: Yes, so today in a day.
- 33:23Speaker 4: So a lot of times people see these stories, they
- 33:25Speaker 4: don't fully understand, like how is this possible?
- 33:27Speaker 5: Like what's your take on that?
- 33:29Speaker 8: Well, so shout my people house on the two one six.
- 33:33Speaker 8: She had me one day, cousin Nita. She hit me
- 33:36Speaker 8: and she was like travel shout out, it's my heart
- 33:39Speaker 8: right there. She hit me up on that.
- 33:41Speaker 2: She was like, trapper man, I won't invest and we
- 33:43Speaker 2: were I said, oh no, you not know you not.
- 33:48Speaker 2: She was like why. I was like, man, these people
- 33:50Speaker 2: don't make money.
- 33:51Speaker 8: So one of the things I love about the stock
- 33:53Speaker 8: market is it literally teaches you how to be a
- 33:55Speaker 8: businessman or a woman because you look at businesses all day.
- 34:00Speaker 2: Right, so they're not profitable.
- 34:04Speaker 5: Well, a lot of companies aren't finish off.
- 34:06Speaker 8: So they aren't profitable and they don't have the revenue
- 34:12Speaker 8: to back it up. So like, not only aren't they
- 34:15Speaker 8: so you can actually not be profitable but still have
- 34:17Speaker 8: a lot of revenue Netflix, you know what I'm saying,
- 34:20Speaker 8: but Uber or Uber, but they aren't profitable and they
- 34:25Speaker 8: don't have the revenue coming in. And it's so when
- 34:29Speaker 8: I invest in the business, I look at this. I
- 34:32Speaker 8: always looked at the inverse, meaning if something bad happens,
- 34:37Speaker 8: how likely is it for this stock to fall?
- 34:41Speaker 2: So we know we work.
- 34:42Speaker 8: It's based off of entrepreneurial space, right, so they rent
- 34:45Speaker 8: space to entrepreneurs. So I looked at it like this,
- 34:48Speaker 8: they already are not profitable if something happens as far
- 34:52Speaker 8: as recession wise, well, entrepreneurs rather come sit in the
- 34:57Speaker 8: room at their own house and a table and do
- 34:59Speaker 8: work and not pay that rent or would they still
- 35:02Speaker 8: pay that rent? He probably would cut that rent out.
- 35:05Speaker 8: So that business model isn't to me. It wasn't something
- 35:09Speaker 8: that has a lot of longevity in it. Now, dude
- 35:13Speaker 8: was a bad seal with a great idea though, But
- 35:18Speaker 8: when he got the bread, he just was on some
- 35:21Speaker 8: wild and he was on he was some party city
- 35:26Speaker 8: wolf of Wall Street off the butchees.
- 35:33Speaker 2: I inventioned.
- 35:34Speaker 8: Yeah, he had a lot going on and he didn't
- 35:37Speaker 8: want he didn't want up it.
- 35:39Speaker 2: But once, so this is the thing.
- 35:41Speaker 8: Once somebody who's a major investor said, yo, I'm pulling
- 35:44Speaker 8: my bread soft bank, which is up.
- 35:47Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 35:48Speaker 8: Once they're like, I'm pulling my bread, you know, like
- 35:50Speaker 8: do it on the wrong level. He living his life wrong.
- 35:52Speaker 8: Now other major investors are like, wait a minute, I'm
- 35:57Speaker 8: gonna pull my bread to that even that ship.
- 35:59Speaker 1: Ye.
- 36:00Speaker 2: And so now the people nobody wants to get stuck
- 36:02Speaker 2: hold in the bag. So the next biggest thing is
- 36:04Speaker 2: do you gotta go. We don't want you to go,
- 36:07Speaker 2: but you gotta step down because we need another face. Right.
- 36:11Speaker 8: And so he was stubborn for a while, like nah,
- 36:13Speaker 8: because he made the business. You know, it's harf you
- 36:16Speaker 8: let your baby go, because even if you step down,
- 36:19Speaker 8: you know what's coming next the ship be thinking. So
- 36:24Speaker 8: I just thought it was a.
- 36:25Speaker 2: Bad business as a whole out They get what you
- 36:28Speaker 2: think about.
- 36:29Speaker 4: I think that it has potential because there's a lot
- 36:33Speaker 4: of coworking, is one.
- 36:36Speaker 5: Yeah, like actualpeak back the night, back there the night.
- 36:43Speaker 4: It's interesting what you said as far as economic downturn,
- 36:47Speaker 4: because I was gonna ask you about the recession or
- 36:48Speaker 4: people saying it's to come to be a recession. It's interesting.
- 36:51Speaker 4: I never really thought about that from that understand point.
- 36:53Speaker 4: But it makes a lot of sense as far as
- 36:55Speaker 4: to say, Okay, if if worst comes the worst, I'll
- 36:57Speaker 4: just stay in my living room, right, I don't have
- 36:59Speaker 4: to you know, if you're going to offer you don't
- 37:02Speaker 4: have to have an office. Nah, if you're doing that
- 37:05Speaker 4: right because other than like holding meetings which you just pay.
- 37:09Speaker 3: Zoom yeah or so I'm invested this, it's just not sustainable, right,
- 37:13Speaker 3: Like I might not have meetings every day of every month.
- 37:17Speaker 4: I think people are working differently now too. It's kind
- 37:20Speaker 4: of a whole business model to actually go and like
- 37:21Speaker 4: I have a office I probably go to like once
- 37:23Speaker 4: a week.
- 37:23Speaker 2: Exactly.
- 37:25Speaker 5: You don't need to physically go into an office.
- 37:27Speaker 6: Like and you're them once a week. But you know
- 37:29Speaker 6: what I'm saying, Like, what's the point.
- 37:31Speaker 8: It's not you may go just to like clear your mind.
- 37:34Speaker 8: I'm just going, yeah, let me go ahead. But yeah,
- 37:37Speaker 8: you don't need it, you're right. So that's what that's
- 37:39Speaker 8: what I thought about it. Now the bad part some
- 37:44Speaker 8: of some of them are actually profitable. So at that point,
- 37:48Speaker 8: the whole dynamic of the business changes because if you're
- 37:51Speaker 8: a profitable business in an economic downturn, So now we're
- 37:55Speaker 8: gonna tap into something that's deeper called free cash flow. Right,
- 37:59Speaker 8: So this this is the money that a business has
- 38:01Speaker 8: that's not attached to anything. So after they pay the
- 38:04Speaker 8: bills and after they pay everything, they still have this.
- 38:07Speaker 8: Or Apple is like one of the has the biggest,
- 38:11Speaker 8: Like yo, they free cast is like crazy million, it's
- 38:14Speaker 8: like one hundred and ninety billion. So what happens is
- 38:18Speaker 8: in case of an economic downturn, they still have money
- 38:24Speaker 8: to keep the business going. If you a profitable business
- 38:29Speaker 8: and you have a good free cash flow, you can
- 38:30Speaker 8: still sustain for a given amount of time.
- 38:34Speaker 2: But if you're a negative all around the board, you're
- 38:37Speaker 2: going to collapse. And so for me, that's something I
- 38:39Speaker 2: look for in a business.
- 38:40Speaker 8: I need you to have a mote, which is a
- 38:45Speaker 8: competitive advantage, and I need you to have a good
- 38:49Speaker 8: like free cast floor.
- 38:50Speaker 2: I need that to be positive.
- 38:51Speaker 4: So when you look at a business, what are you
- 38:52Speaker 4: looking at? You're looking at their earning report? Do you like?
- 38:56Speaker 5: What do you actually look at? How do you evaluate
- 38:59Speaker 5: what a right?
- 39:00Speaker 8: So I look for a few things like so it's
- 39:03Speaker 8: like me looking at a woman no to nobody, like,
- 39:06Speaker 8: I don't want nobody to say right. So you have
- 39:10Speaker 8: what you look for, and then you have what's there right,
- 39:16Speaker 8: and then you ask yourself, how does this fit to
- 39:19Speaker 8: what I want?
- 39:21Speaker 2: Right? So what I do is I look at The
- 39:22Speaker 2: first thing I look at is this.
- 39:23Speaker 8: I never look at the stock price because the stock
- 39:26Speaker 8: price is only based on how you and I feel
- 39:29Speaker 8: about it, right, So first thing I look at who
- 39:32Speaker 8: running a business? And I put this on my page
- 39:34Speaker 8: all the time. How a person runs a business tells
- 39:38Speaker 8: me a lot about the business because if you can't man,
- 39:41Speaker 8: if you can't run the business, I can't make no money.
- 39:44Speaker 8: So I'm gonna look at when did you get into
- 39:47Speaker 8: a position of the CEO? How did the business run
- 39:50Speaker 8: before you? And what have you done since you got
- 39:53Speaker 8: taken control of the business. That's first and foremost, So
- 39:57Speaker 8: I won't look at management first. The next thing I'm
- 40:00Speaker 8: gonna look at is do you have a competitive EDG right?
- 40:04Speaker 8: So like, what makes you better than everybody else? What
- 40:06Speaker 8: makes you sustainable? So, for instance, if you bought Coca Cola,
- 40:11Speaker 8: so you have to ask yourself this. If you're a
- 40:14Speaker 8: retail business, what does your shelf domination look like? How
- 40:20Speaker 8: do you dominate the shells? So if you go into sodas,
- 40:26Speaker 8: Coca Cola dominates. But if you look at the overall business,
- 40:30Speaker 8: Pepsi does. Pepsi has more products, But if you look
- 40:34Speaker 8: in that sheer beverages, Coca Cola dominates. Even when you
- 40:40Speaker 8: go to a fast food store, they're predominantly coke products.
- 40:47Speaker 5: One of those things where they coined the names like coke.
- 40:49Speaker 2: Coke, and.
- 40:52Speaker 8: Bingo.
- 40:53Speaker 2: When your name becomes synonymous with something, you have a
- 40:56Speaker 2: competitive edd We have that conversation.
- 40:58Speaker 8: It's like dandid Bingo's It's like we can go hold
- 41:01Speaker 8: that style of shirtolo, even if it's a cost shirt,
- 41:04Speaker 8: it's a polo shirt exactly. So I'm looking for that
- 41:07Speaker 8: doable competitive edge and now we're going to tap into earnings.
- 41:10Speaker 8: So I want to see me, what have you done
- 41:13Speaker 8: the last eight quarters? Have you beat earnest the last
- 41:17Speaker 8: eight quarters? Meaning have you made profit the last eight quarters?
- 41:20Speaker 8: And then I want to look at your free cash flow.
- 41:23Speaker 8: I want to look at work in capital, which is
- 41:28Speaker 8: current assets and current liabilities, meaning what you have in
- 41:33Speaker 8: these next twelve months. So something happening in the next
- 41:35Speaker 8: twelve months, it's that money positive. If it's negative, we
- 41:38Speaker 8: got an issue. It's not bad, but we got an issue.
- 41:41Speaker 8: If it's positive, then I know you can hold it down.
- 41:43Speaker 8: It's like having money and sale accounty.
- 41:45Speaker 6: So when you're looking at all these things, are we
- 41:47Speaker 6: looking what are we looking through publications?
- 41:50Speaker 2: Are we going to a site like is it like? Yeah?
- 41:52Speaker 2: So face value.
- 41:55Speaker 8: You can go to Yahoo finance just face value. You
- 41:59Speaker 8: go to y'aho find and you can do the numbers.
- 42:02Speaker 8: If you want to dig deep, you go to that
- 42:05Speaker 8: company's quarterly report, an annual report. So what happens is
- 42:10Speaker 8: it's another thing like while I love the stock market,
- 42:13Speaker 8: if you're a public company, you have to tell people
- 42:16Speaker 8: what you're doing has to be public. It has to
- 42:20Speaker 8: be so even your competitors get to see what you're doing.
- 42:24Speaker 2: So that's what I do.
- 42:24Speaker 8: Like if I like a business, I won't see what
- 42:27Speaker 8: the competitors doing, and then I won't see how are
- 42:28Speaker 8: you at matching up to what they're doing?
- 42:30Speaker 2: Are you shifting that way right?
- 42:32Speaker 8: So I won't see are they how are they moving
- 42:36Speaker 8: to all the future because we know every two years
- 42:39Speaker 8: the business cycle changes.
- 42:40Speaker 6: That's why when you hear like on CNBC, it's like, oh,
- 42:42Speaker 6: their quarterly reports coming.
- 42:44Speaker 2: In and go into every have too.
- 42:45Speaker 8: Everybody has to do it. And so if it's a
- 42:48Speaker 8: dividend paying company, are you increasing those? If you increase
- 42:53Speaker 8: from those, that mean you have some profitability, because no
- 42:56Speaker 8: business can consistently increase paying me more money if they
- 42:59Speaker 8: don't have money.
- 43:01Speaker 5: Soot about the education?
- 43:03Speaker 2: Am I going to d right now?
- 43:04Speaker 6: No?
- 43:04Speaker 5: Man, perfect.
- 43:09Speaker 7: My graduates from my school being forced bad drop bag
- 43:14Speaker 7: drop my drop bad drop drop.
