three months ago hey Tesla Downs slide
and here we are yeah 52 week low last
week yeah uh all right
so okay let’s get into this um let’s
start off with the company that we
always talk about all the time um Apple
my baby so Samsung yep overtakes apple
right as the world’s top smartphone
provider and uh Chinese
Rivals you got two you got two companies
Huawei and show me show me okay got you
show me but it’s has a x it’s spell with
X yeah X I A Omi so those two companies
are the third and fourth largest smart
smartphone providers in the world
respectfully and um they’re taking
market share yeah absolutely so you know
Apple’s been on the downward trajectory
for about a year now yeah and um you
know it’s been a lot of bad news and
this was the most recent conversation as
far as smart U Samsung taking over them
as a number one yeah provider in a
smartphone world so y what’s what’s the
thoughts on this news I wanted to do
like I did a couple years ago when I had
that breakup coming in and not talk
about it but I kind of gotta address
this can’t act like everything’s fine
this time around you know um so with
that being said um couple things they um
I get really worried when when someone
is in is in the leadership spot of being
number one and then they get
complacent Apple please reach out to us
um ASAP I got a few ideas I know some of
youall be like whatever idea you have
Android has got a couple tricks up my
sleeve number two they need to find a
smaller player to acquire I keep saying
it I think they should have acquired DJI
a couple years ago um but if they do not
get a strangle hold on this over the
next couple of years as the market is
Shifting we’ll talk about Red Lobster
later
I follow for bankruptcy shout to those
biscuits though um I get worried when we
have a cyclical change and a product
leader falls out of favor because if
Samsung I mean they got the 6.4 billion
from Biden that helps a hell of a lot
that kind of broke my heart they need
some uh Innovations over the next year I
if I were Apple I would shut almost
every other project down and figure out
ways to um make that phone better cuz
they’ve really been reselling this phone
for n years now yeah iOS has been great
but the features on it are not better
and I think it’s time that uh as
investors we have an open outcry to the
investor relations team and say hey you
guys got to fix this [ __ ] or you’re
going to end up losing your market share
you may not ever be able to get it back
for those of you who are saying hey you
worry too much you fear Monger too much
at one point City group was the biggest
thing on Wall Street and it fell apart
in 20 07 we’re seeing some Black Swan
like events start to line up please
write this down the macro pitcher
matters more so if we get two more major
Black Swan events and the market drops
like AMD is pulling back dramatically as
well they’re kind of pricing in
something is about to happen I don’t
know if Apple can sustain this lead in a
in a smartphone race if we go through a
crash for two years or they don’t raise
rates until 25 and then we have a new um
Le in the White House like it say very
scary time but this is what happens when
you don’t innovate um I know sometimes
you guys look at the Showmanship of what
we do of putting on a good show and the
roll out of invest Fest but you have to
innovate every year or you’re G to get
killed got competition lining up
everywhere and this is what happens when
you don’t innovate at a fast enough clip
and don’t listen to your customer
base yes all those things are true um
there’s another piece that we have to
take into account it’s the GE
geopolitical side of it y when you’re
talking about which company are in third
and fourth um they’re Chinese companies
and there’s a reason why they’re third
and fourth because more people are
starting to look at nationalism as a
piece of their purchasing absolutely so
rather than buying the American phone
they are now choosing to buy a phone
that has similar qualities that is from
a Chinese company in their home country
from their home country you added to the
fact that the Chinese companies and
agencies are now limiting employees to
use Apple devices that hurts them as
well yeah right but this is using move
on us this is right so now it’s okay
well you want to ban our apps well
here’s what we’re going to start doing
to our employees and some of our our our
Citizens We’re going to start
restricting how many people can have
your product that hurts Apple’s iPhone
sales dropped 10% in 2024 the first
quarter think about that 10% which is
you need China you need them you need
them so Samsung obviously has 20 number
one now they have 20% of the smart phone
market Apple’s in second place at 17%
but those two companies that we
mentioned before uh show me and Huawei
are right there right there and then
moving at a fast pace one of the reasons
that Samsung was able to go ahead is
because the release of the s24 and the
functioning inside the s24 is probably
what pushed it over the top yeah they
have made a concerted effort to make
sure that AI is a component in the sales
of that phone yeah apple to this date
and it’s still early we all waiting for
June has still not said what they’re
going to be doing in the AI space we’ve
seen it from all the the majors we saw
it from Microsoft obviously we know what
Nvidia is doing uh we’ve seen it from
Google we’ve seen it from meta what
they’re talking
about AI what is the role that Apple’s
going to play in it what’s the
Innovation that they’re going to have in
it and is it going to be inside of the
next Innovation or rendition of the
iPhone we don’t know that yet so I hope
so you add that into all of the the
factors that you spoke about and you can
see why there’s a pullback and we talked
about this
it’s the same phone over and over Yep
this is not Innovative anymore June I
think is you said a couple years I don’t
know how many more quarters they can
have like this right if we start to see
10% 10 this this could get ug they’re
gonna have to discount them phones and
that’s a but that so that when they
discounted the phones in China it didn’t
work yeah right because now you made
them the same price as some the
companies that are from China right and
so if they have to choose they’re going
to choose right that National
economy they’re going to choose the
phone that that that’s made from the
people that that look like them so you
got to take that into account as well so
it it a couple more of these quarters
that look like this we’re gonna have a
different conversation yeah and
important it’s too important it’s too
vital to our economy to have this type
of depreciation so we got we got to
really keep eye on this back to what I
said on Blackout appreciate the
Partnerships that you have let’s say if
I have a yacht party and I say TR rot
can’t come guess what invest Fest
probably won’t be there right so as soon
as they start blocking China and they
and guess what China said oh you you
want to block oh okay cool guess what
we’re gonna block your products here too
you two Tesla both y’all get the hell
out and figure it out on your own yeah
it it’s happening and and you can see it
now the the the new thing like we’re
watching this happen with Tik Tok right
what’s gonna happen with Tik Tok now the
the 90 days is potentially being
extended to eight months right
so I mean this this is this is a cat
fight that I mean
you there’s no money War unless you
selling arms man yeah you gotta get this
is
dangerous we will monitor the situation
Apple still my baby shout to my other
shot to my baby you know what I mean but
yeah I mean get y’ stuff together please
we have to we we we we can’t emphasize
50% of the revenue comes from the sales
of the
iPhone in the first quarter the iPhone
sales are down 10% when that Earnest
report comes in what is that going to
look like hopefully
better and and for everyone who’s like
you’re an alarm is you or conspiracy
theorist maybe but at one point in time
before iPhone took off Blackberry was in
the same position they got too
comfortable and rested on their Laurels
and then here
comes a bit if WWE figures out how to
figure uh how to subsidize a phone and
make it free and then have a
subscription on the back end and get it
here it’s it’s over with
it’s over with same thing that they did
to singular and they shook up the whole
Telecom game if one of those other
phones figures out how to make the phone
free to the providers but then maybe you
pay a little subscription fee it’s a
game set match and Huawei was the
original uh company that got blocked
they were the first ones to have 5G yeah
and uh it was a nogo from from the
United States said you’re not allowed to
sell that here so yeah I mean it’s
interesting we’ll see I mean the Vision
Pro this will be the first quarter that
we’ll see the sales from the vision Pro
or not even the sales the revenue from
it they don’t talk about how many units
get sold but we’ll see the revenue maybe
that picks up from some of that 10% loss
I don’t know how much it cracks
but Tim cooking that boy meditating
every day with the iPhone sales dropping
come on he’s in the meditation app right
now yep that’s a fact hit the like
button and shareot to mention e
University is running rampid these days
shout out to all the earners in there
the monthly subscription has been
extended so Troy does his option calls
his choice option master class I should
say um once a month so uh be ready for
next month and I think we have Sonia who
just taught a class last week yeah shout
out to son oh that’s fire e
university.com
let’s talk about Google
Google Google announces a new round of
layoffs So Google I was actually
watching CNBC last week and they was
saying how Google’s in trouble and how
um you know AI essentially is a search
engine whether whatever AI platform
you’re using even me like I use chat gbt
for search engine purposes more than
Google at this point time like if I want
to say like okay
well you know when was the first
elephant bed by man right I’ll go to
chat gbt which essentially I’m using it
for the same capacity that you would use
a Google search engine for but I’m just
so accustomed to using chat gbt that
I’ll use chat gbt more than I’ll use
Google um so she was just saying that
she thought that Google was uh losing
the AI race and that you know they’re
losing their dominance as far as their
search engine as more competition and
variety of other factors yeah so now
they’re laying off people yeah that’s
never good um they but they did
something very intelligent and I was
gonna say they
also uh they got caught in in uh Israel
Gaza
situation they laid off I think 21
people for that 28 yeah 2 28 people that
chose to protest their deal with Israel
so they they’ve been having some issues
so what were you say so their roll outs
haven’t been great um
from and we spoke about it from B to
even now with Gemini has hasn’t been
great but in this space for AI and the
race for AI they’ve made a strategic
partnership and probably went under like
people probably didn’t pay attention to
it but meta has now partnered with them
to be included in their searches and so
now meta when you’re talking about how
many users under that platform 3.4
billion yeah right unid of the meta
platforms now the Google search engine
will be part part of their their
platform and so that’s a very strategic
partnership so you I mean you can
innovate they they’ve boted it on their
own and so making a strategic
partnership like that is important but
yeah the the layoffs this has been
continuous we’ve seen this since 2023
we’ve seen it multiple of of tech
companies and it’s really simple they
they can they put out a statement and I
could read the statement but the gist of
it is this look we’ve got to cut cost
because we have to win this race in Ai
and that’s where our money our Capital
expenditures have to go that’s the focus
of this company going forward anything
that is not a part of that is going to
be cut to the Wayside and so they cut
people from their finance department
they cut some people from the search
Department all these people are getting
laid off because they’re looking at the
bottom line and saying if we can be more
efficient with less yeah because we know
the type of money that we have to
allocate to this race to even be in it
then we got to do it and so
unfortunately people lose jobs because
of that they’re looking at the the macro
that we have to win this race we have to
be one or two in it um and that’s the
that’s the focus can they win it
though you have some I don’t think they
they have the great they have the some
of the brightest Minds even when we look
at infrastructure of all these AI
companies they somehow tie back to
Google and D they all had deep at some
point um in their origin they just
haven’t had the marketing and the
rollout
that the these other companies have what
Microsoft and chat gbt have done I mean
it’s been incredible every I mean it
just keeps getting better every time
they do something the announcement is
great they updated is great they add
video it’s great Google just can’t seem
to get that right yet and it’s been a
while it’s been a while since they had a
roll out remember they tried the gaming
system they tried the glasses these
Technologies are great and people are
looking at it like that’s the future
yeah somebody comes and does it the
right way and it’s like wait we forgot
that Google actually started that right
before there there was the gole glasses
and then you had meta had the quest and
then Apple obviously does division Pro
now you forgot that go was even involved
in it then they had the gaming system
that botch they tried to do the search
the the Chad gbt uh rival with that
flopped they tried it now they named it
Gemini we’ll see what happens catch yeah
it’s just playing catch up they have the
Innovation the RO just the execution
hasn’t been
great Rashad what were you gonna say
well I was just gonna say from a just
because I I I I want to um we we covered
news a lot on Market Mondays but I also
want to just give like some investment
advice and this is related to this topic
where there’s a lot of people that watch
the show that might have just begun
investing or they have not invested yet
and the first two stories that we just
covered on Apple and Google is an
example why it is usually more
beneficial to invest in a ETF or index
fine as opposed to an individual company
right because anything can happen and
even the strongest companies at a
certain point start to Decay that’s just
that’s just life right nobody’s gonna be
like at one point in time Kodak was the
Premier
Place you know so it’s like
every their their Industries change
right and as Industries
change Giants and industries start to
stumble and fall
yeah as you as an investor the safest
route that you can take is to invest in
an index fund or an ETF because yes that
gives you broad exposure right you’re
not relying on just one individual
company but and especially like in in
the index in the ETF but index funds as
well they can change allocations over
the course of time you don’t have to
worry about it yep exactly it’s it’s
being done for you so
and and ETF like QQQ which is the
technology ETF and they have Microsoft
Apple Google all and all of these stocks
as as these companies get weaker then
the percentage that makes up the ETF
will change over the course of time
right as a company like Nvidia that gets
stronger now you’ll see nvidia’s
position in
these funds increase right because now
they it’s like it’s like a player it’s
like a it’s like a NBA team right yeah
as as somebody becomes a better player
they’re going to get more playing time
head guard right and then as somebody
who was once a superstar Klay Thompson
shout out to Kay but as his his
production starts to zero points as his
production starts to decrease you’re
going to see him get less play in time
right that just makes sense if you want
to win a championship but imagine if all
of your investment dollars were in Klay
Thompson five years ago you would have
been you know on top yeah but now not so
much yeah not so much that’s just
something that like I said if you’re if
you’re thinking about
investing right just take that into
consideration that whenever you invest
in individual companies is tremendously
more riskier yeah and you have to pay a
lot more attention because things change
quickly and um you don’t want to you
know stay with a a loser or a company
that is underperforming for a long
period of time because that could hurt
your portfolio and this this is like
exactly what we went over in on the
master class that Ian was part of was
that exact strategy where Ian talks
about two Tech 2 index and I said I’m
gonna make a cousin version of it right
like this will be the two teex two ETFs
not a cousin not a cousin a family
member a brother how about that a
brother I’m with
intended you said the cousins is dead SP
to
stanto a brother a brother of the
strategy right because again even when
and this happens I’m sure e to you all
the time you can tell people two Tech
Two indexes and then they’ll ask you
well which two texts yeah right and so
to even simplify it let’s just make it
two indexes and two ETFs and that
becomes the legs of this table like this
investment table that I kind of Drew
this analogy with it’s an investment
table where those are the legs of it and
if you want to after you’ve had
experience investing in index funds and
ETFs if you want to get singular
equities then that’s what you put on top
of the table but make sure they’re
strong companies and so yeah you have
QQQ but if you individually want to have
the upside of Nvidia then you can have
that on top of your table but make sure
that you have the legs so you first
because that’s important right yeah if
the legs collapse the table falling
right so make sure you have the base
first so that’s important yeah yeah and
for those you going to ask anyway V vti
are good ones uh vgt if you want
exposure to technology but I think the
overall theme in these first two stories
we’re talking about I think we’re seeing
a decay in
monopolies like apple of course had a
long-term strangle hold my final
expiration date for Apple is 2034 when I
think things will start to unravel they
won’t have their lead um Google has
mismanaged a bunch of great projects
like like they should have never tried
to do social media back in the day but
the glasses deep mind like they remind
me a lot of OKC shout out to the team
they have now but it’s like you had
Harden and Durant and brusson you let
them go for nothing
like how do you let open AI come to
prominence the way that they have and
this is one of your ideas from like
eight years ago like Ray csw was telling
them about this in 2005 and they did
nothing with it so I’m going back to the
point yeah it’s safer the investment
indexes ETFs but I think we’re seeing
this is what happens when money is cheap
capital is cheap it’s easy to hire and
then the market conditions change and
the crazy part they haven’t even raise
rates yet if they raise rates we’re
really going to see things get tough
yeah and it goes back to the the the
topic I think you guys were talking
about on Blackout what would that
company be if they didn’t invest in in
YouTube in
2007 and if Zuckerberg didn’t grab
Instagram two of the greatest
Acquisitions of all and for everyone who
kept saying they shouldn’t have sold
YouTube to Google they sold right before
the biggest crash of modern times
happened they’re smart let me give you a
clue when people exit and you don’t hear
from them again Leisure has been
earned I haven’t seen time from my space
three times since he is elated enjoy you
got to exit at the right
time yes cersi exit at the right time
ladies you have to know when to lead a
party you gotta know when to party did
you see that Meme of Kevin Hart with
alot Ander yeah yeah that was crazy I
did yeah I asked Mandy what do you do in
that situation just buy him a drink
first shout out to when the introvert is
ready to leave the party Mandy B said
you was you was C she said you was all
cap [ __ ] put put in put in the comments
if I booked you a flight put in the
comments oh first quarter no not for the
first quar flight Emoji we in we in the
second quarter second quarter we still
running though right the
put it in
chat I got five grand for somebody if
you got some pictures with me what’s up
pictur the [ __ ] receips standing on
business you
know oh
man did you just listen if Google and
meta cutting back I should buy a flight
oh no we all got cut back we all got cut
back nope Zuckerberg got that meta AI
going crazy for a reason be conservative
people are losing jobs so that that I
mean that’s the unfortunate part but
they are saying that the people who they
let go can reapply for different
positions within the company so we’ll
see yeah um can we talk about let’s talk
let’s give some education um dividends
right can you explain I’ve heard two
people in the last couple days talking
about like their dividend stock
investors or they want to invest in
stocks that have
dividends once again for the people that
might be new to Market Mondays um we
don’t really talk about dividend stocks
too much yeah it’s not an investment
strategy that we’ve we’ve
championed um what are dividend stocks
and why have we not necessarily talked
about dividend stocks um dividends think
of it as if you being paid a r um for
owning a stock so in addition to having
a shares you get a certain percentage
per year or per quarter as like an
enticement or inducement to own the
stock um I’m not a big fan of it because
the the best companies are going to give
you those gains that you hoped for out
of the dividend like AT&T used to be a
great dividend player they Fallen apart
and usually the bigger the dividend
usually is reflective of a poor company
um Nvidia doesn’t have to give you a a
huge dividend because they’re going to
print low-end 30% year-over-year pretty
conservative um Apple for a multi-
trillion dollar company they’re going to
grow 10 to 15% a year so they don’t have
to usually a company that’s falling is
going to pay you a high higher dividend
um I you can look at the dividend Kings
list the Aristocrat list but I would
say move with a lot of caution and do
your research first um it’s not one of
my favorite strategies uh companies that
are really good are not going to pay
you $5 per share to own it if so why
would they just keep all the dividends
for themselves it’s kind of like when
when artists are like hey buy this song
and you can own a part of my catalog
notice it’s never any of the hits it’s
all the bsides from mixtape from 2009
right um but everyone can choose to do
what they want to do but I like to have
my gains baked in and safety baked in
first before I Look to have uh dividends
and you know apple pays a small one some
other portfolio pay a smaller one but if
they’re paying like $7 per share or $2
it’s usually not a good company yeah and
the other part is that you have to have
uh some Capital right because you need
to have you need to have a certain
amount of shares to even make to make it
make sense right but even I mean some
people like you said it $7 a share is
obviously ridicul that’s pretty pretty
high but most times it might be one or
two dollars and that might be per share
so if you have 100 shares then you may
have made A1 I mean it’s the to have the
wind baked in and invest in directly
into a company that’s strong it it kind
of outweighs it plus we’ve seen
companies take away their dividend right
so that that’s another approach that we
have to take into account where it’s
like all right we didn’t uh hit our
quotes that’s why we always watch for
the company if they beat their earnings
yeah that’s part of it if they beat they
have Revenue all right well here’s the
cash flow that that has been left over
we’re gonna pay a dividend out if they
don’t meet it then they say you know
what we’re not doing dividends and we’re
suspending them and they may never come
back so just if you’re gonna take that
approach be mindful of all those things
yeah and if the fee load is low on
indexes or
ETFs the Havens you can look at it as a
dividend but like common companies
people lean on Verizon Johnson and
Johnson Philip Morris alria group
Comcast Duke Energy they’re not best of
breed companies they’re okay um but they
aren’t like top tier companies that are
currently dominating the market I think
it was a great strategy in the 70s and
80s but I don’t think this a strategy I
willan on as a primary one for sure um
but if you have like a hundred million
dollars sitting around sure but for the
average investor I don’t think it’s the
wise uh decision to do so well speaking
of
Google meta last week announced a
partnership with Google um AI
partnership and uh open AI they um
they’re not just gonna let open AI just
you know run rampant um they’re fighting
back yep meta Google partnership AI
partnership right and um this I think is
is uh in
direct um
competition uh to open Ai and they
realize that you know the issues that
they they’re currently having so that’s
interesting right to see two of The
Magnificent Seven coming together um and
working together right you you can take
that in one or two ways you can take
that as uh they’re trying to you know be
Innovative or you could take it that
they’re actually scared
and um this is always be paranoid this
is this is a sign of fear when um when
you got to come together and try to
fight open AI but also this goes back to
Microsoft right yeah Microsoft’s
dominance so what’s the thoughts on meta
teaming up with Google I think but I
think I want to just ch it real quick
yeah I think meta’s gonna get the best
of that
partnership um I think Zuckerberg
learned a lot from that 2022 slot people
have to remember how young he is he has
another 25 27 years of like pure
dominant he can have in front of him I
think he learned to keep those overhead
costs low and if he can get this AI
relationship to work well enough just to
beat Tik Tok let’s not even look at open
AI but if it’s just better than Tik Tok
better than
YouTube great I find it interesting that
Google is doing a partnership with him
when you’re still battling for market
and mind share with
Instagram I think Zuckerberg is very uh
smart intelligent sagacious conniving
and I think he’s going to get the best
out of that partnership and he’s going
to find a way to make sure that that
ecosystem that he has is thriving I’ve
seen some of things they deployed in
WhatsApp people don’t talk about that as
said enough so I think they’ll come out
on top of that um but yeah I think in in
times of recession or potential
recession partnership is needed that’s
why when the US is getting to it with
China and Brooks is
forming all these shadow Wars it’s not
good for business yeah I think it’s
important to talk about it in detail
because it’s like with meta it’s a
business lusting in this situation as
well right where okay they literally
change the name of their company to meta
um to invest hundred billion dollar or
whatever they invested in into the
metaverse and the stock crashes and they
they abort mission on that at least for
the time being they refocus on on their
core products and they ramp it back up
and now meta stock has been has
skyrocketed yep um but now it’s like
okay let’s let’s try this again on a
different iteration front y of AI right
and it’s like okay last time we tried to
jump into the metaverse by our
we’re a social media company that
probably wasn’t the best way to go about
it Google has been the number one search
engine for the last 20 years y um Google
highly respected in the in the tech
space so if meta could have just started
their own AI Branch right but it’s like
okay well why not partner with leader
Best in Class learn from the previous
mistake while dat while still looking
forward in the future because that’s why
I always say like you gotta be able to
plan for the future while you’re on top
yep right and it’s like okay as opposed
to just planning when you’re when you’re
already falling now it’s too late so I
think that it’s worth highlighting
because uh from The Meta standpoint I
think that is another Savvy business
move by by Mark Zuckerberg
and um from the Google standpoint I
think
that I think Google is in trouble and I
think that this is something that they
can latch on to with the attempts to
potentially you know hold the band
together um if all else fails it it
gives you partnership with two of the of
The Magnificent Seven obviously Tesla
suffering right now but you already are
the search engine for Apple’s phones
right and so now if you think about the
number one app inside of the Apple phone
it’s owned by meta which is probably
Instagram right top three and so now we
talked about things that have failed yes
the metaverse we that’s well documented
but we yeah just covered all the things
that Google has botched when you talk
about the r the the roll out of of hey
meta the first place they put it is
right in Instagram yeah it’s there this
is the roll out and on top of putting it
right inside of that
app Mark Zuckerberg is making the post
to tell you that it’s it’s here where
for Google Sun you see how happy he
wasy like to tell you that this’s this
new AI could you imagine Sund trying to
to to get on Instagram and telling us
about it just wouldn’t it wouldn’t be
receive the same way and so sometimes
you gotta realize where your weaknesses
are at and say right they have something
that’s
working we have Milli billions of people
inside of their database they can reach
the audience they can get the messaging
out better than we can I think strategic
but I I agree with you I think meta gets
the best of this because again if people
start treating Instagram the way that
you’re cheating chat gbt then why are we
going to Google search yep right so if I
can do all the searching for everything
inside of Instagram or I can do it in
chat gbt then maybe I really don’t need
to try use my Google search that already
happened with Tik Tok so Tik Tok is
essentially a search Tik Tok sh
um so people you know I ask people all
time how do you find about this
restaurant Tik Tok Tik Tok for young
kids has already taken over yes right
chat gbt is taking over for older people
so now you now you got screwed both ways
yeah I say you got screwed both ways
yeah said pause I PA in general it’s a
general statement but I’m just paing
statement okay the tech
so so so um yeah I think who will come
out on top no pun intended no I’m joking
good but it’s a great Point like if Tik
Tok is skew younger Chad GPT is old
older Instagram has a very small window
to get that intersection right in the
middle and have to take advantage of it
um and also with with the with the hey
meta AI iteration what they could be
able to do on a business sweet now meta
listen use the idea if you want to but
cut me my check
please ads are one thing imagine if you
after you deploy the ads the hay meta
can do all the followup for you I know
you can retarget but if you can have hey
meta do a lot of the followup for you
that’s something nobody’s doing Tik Tok
shop is moment but I think it’s a very
interesting way while sales are down and
viewership are down that meta can
potentially carve out way for a lot of
Brands and businesses to be able to
bring more Revenue in and if they can do
that while things are a little bit
uneasy okay they’re gonna
be the I think it might be the the
Google pixel right so even with the
phones like they have the technology
before all these other phones and then
Apple comes and they say all right with
the new update you’re gonna have this
service now so even inside of of um
Instagram when we were in dbos we sold
this company called ditto and it’s very
interesting it was the company basically
they give you the technology where like
if you see something in your screen or
on your TV you have the ability to touch
it and find out where you can purchase
it gotcha and in the click of so now
with hey meta imagine like you’re
looking at the picture and it all right
you click it hey per I mean the
technology is just going to keep growing
yeah better they they I think they
definitely come out as a winner in in
this partnership but that’s what
Partnerships are sometimes you have to
be strategic about who you’re partnering
with um and hopefully I mean I’m sure
data will be shared and they’ll be
selling all types of things back and
forth to each other so I’m sure Google
will be okay but yeah I you can
definitely see the benefits from for
meta in this um okay let’s talk about
Morgan Stanley highly respected
Investment Bank um yes so they have
their top
picks uh going into this quarterly
earnings season so um let’s talk about
the the Morgan Stanley top picks and uh
see which one
um bullish on yes um one of the ones
they mentioned Lazar ticker Laz not the
hugest fan of if you want to trade it
and potentially get a short on it you
can do that but I’m not a huge fan of
that um second one is uh ticker
GLE if I can get it at 22 bucks I will
probably take a stab at it but I’m not
in love with that one um let’s look at
PC really quick pack r yeah P yeah this
one of the ones when I saw the chart I
was like I don’t even know how that one
didn’t come up on my radar it’s been on
a tear really since
2015 um you have to wait for a pullback
but I love that one amazing pick by them
they did a great job in this one finding
like a diamond in the rough that many
were not talking about the Nvidia trades
overcrowded AMD Trad is overcrowded so
that is one that I like a lot um the
next one they mentioned was STX which is
Seagate
not number one in their class but uh
great sector great management I like if
it ever get back to 58 bucks I would
love to buy it there price is too high
for me right now but seate I do like of
course Nvidia amazing Amazon amazing and
then if we look at
abbv um I love a lot not talked about
enough at 147 I would love to pick it up
if it got to 140 I would definitely love
to had a lot of shares there but abbv is
a great pick Nvidia Amazon and parar is
like a diamond in the rough that that no
one saw
coming yes sir yes sir yeah I gotta ask
you a follow R why do you think like if
you can give three reasons why do you
think going into this next decade Google
they’re not going to go out of business
but they won’t be as dominant as they
were this past two
decades well I think that um startup
companies like open Ai and there’s going
to be a variety so every 20 years
there’s new it’s like once again using
aort there’s new rookies that come into
the league right like Michael Jordan at
some point in time wasn’t as effective
when LeBron James and you know Steph
Curry Alan arv all these guys start to
come into the league right so what I’m
saying is that you have Legacy companies
at this point these companies Apple
Microsoft Google Amazon they’re Legacy
companies at this point yeah even meta
is a legacy company meta is probably the
youngest out of those but they’re still
like a legacy Company open AI is not
gonna be the only company that’s going
to come and disrupt this thing yeah
there’s gonna be a variety of companies
that are going to be a lot um leaner be
able to be a lot more Innovative because
when you get that big you can’t you
can’t move the same right you can’t move
that fast you can’t just make a decision
you got to go to the board you got to
get it approved you gotta it’s a whole
bunch of stuff so I think we’re going to
see a lot of startup companies that
either have not been created yet or are
currently created um still in their
infancy phases that’s going to cause
Mass
disruption um and is going to hurt them
on a variety of different levels on the
search engine side on the content Side
YouTube uh I think that they’re going to
have a lot more competition and if you
think about Google what is Google’s
primary business search or advertising
ads from search engine from search yeah
yeah they haven’t really done a great
job of diversifying their
portfolio and a lot of Mis products yeah
they have two they have two things if
you think about it they have Google
search engine yeah they have two drivers
yep and and and and YouTube Right Cloud
Ser they got a cloud service but I mean
it’s two big drivers yeah so I mean
whenever once again this goes this is a
a lesson for
business and obviously those guys are
billionaire so I can’t I’m not
criticizing their business model yeah
but I’m just I’m just using this as an
example that you are more vulnerable the
less offerings that you have right
you’re you’re you think so yeah because
it’s like now if like let’s take
Microsoft instance right they have they
have more
offerings right so now it’s like even
meta they they have more offerings they
have Facebook they have Instagram they
have WhatsApp they’re working on this
thing now they could have had Tik Tok if
the government didn’t block it they
could have had Tik Tok yeah I mean even
Apple for all we say they still have
they still have several different off
iOS ecosystem airpod yeah y have S
different offerings right like you have
one
offering yeah it’s the dominant offering
it brings in so I’m looking at the
revenue it brought in 179 75 billion
last year next is the YouTube ads which
brought in 31 billion so there a a
drastic so you have one main offering
yeah yeah and now you have a 100 people
that’s GNA Target that now let’s say you
lose a quarter of that that’s that’s
major disruption ecosystem right and
it’s happening like I said it’s
happening from social media it’s
happening from chat gbt so that’s why I
just think that Google is pretty
vulnerable over the next decade is
because they lack diversification and
they have strong competition and they’ll
have even stronger
competition if they could just get it
right like they have the talent they
have the vision they have the Innovation
they just can’t
and on the
media YouTube is probably the biggest I
mean gave Comcast hell how do you miss
out on the NFL and let Amazon get that
MMA NBA finals and all the major TV
shows well they they had the NFL right
they they had the Sunday Ticket I think
they there’s renegotiations on that but
the you YouTube TV has has done pretty
well for them it’s just that the price
point Point has gone up I’m not sure how
long that’s sustainable right it used to
be the alternative to having the cable
networks where that was okay I’m paying
all this money for five channels that
was great arbitr but like what’s the Big
Show that’s like produced by then also
you’re just watching the TV now and
paying the and the price points are
getting very close to each other yeah
they’re getting close Google Google
hasn’t skewed young right like it’s like
we used we used to get information from
encyclopedias
and telephone books right that used to
actually be a source of information then
when this
web browsers came out with Yahoo and
other people then that was like
revolutionary and you Google Google it’s
been the same user interface for over 20
years now like like kids are not going
on Google no more they’re not they’re
not the term Google search ontu exactly
that their whole search engine process
is change like Google is now an old
person thing no no no I I I I disagree
because the one callous that they have
is YouTube and YouTube will always scale
young because because most people don’t
search on the Google search engine but
most kids will search inside of Google
the way that they did for Tik we just so
we just said that there’s two different
divisions YouTube is his own company
right and we talked about the revenue
it’s a it’s a big difference between so
what I’m saying is that the main thing
the star play in this situation is not
skewing y that isn’t has not skewed y
but does that mean could there be a
shift though could there be a shift
where now we’re not using search engine
we we’ll start to see more more traction
going into Google I mean uh YouTube as a
search YouTube is YouTube has YouTube’s
days are numbered let’s just say that
YouTube days are number well that’s a
hot Take Yo and I thought my met [ __ ]
was do do do do speak elaborate on
that YouTube is going to have the same
all right once again I just I just laid
out how we used to use a telephone and
encyclopedia then we started to use what
we essentially use now as a web as web
browsers and search engines and how
that’s kind of falling apart for young
people not really going to search
engines like that at one point in time
we we was watching everything we was
listening to radio that’s how people got
information then a device called the
television came out and people started
to watch television and they had basic
cable then people started to actually
have more advanced Premium Cable
packages then YouTube came out and it
was a re it was a revolutionary item
right but at some point in time it’s
going to run its course too everything
runs its course right so what I’m saying
is that it might not happen right now
over like a 10 year period eventually I
mean yeah everything comes to I thought
you meant like you was giving like a
timetable eventually YouTube is going to
have to start decaying and it’s going to
it’s going to because they don’t they
don’t pay the creators what they what
they properly deserve right you have you
have competition from every single
streaming service available possible and
now once the streaming services get
these Sports contracts because these
Sports contract the NFL sports contract
I believe is up next year I think and it
was talking about on CNBC Netflix is
going to get some NFL games you’re going
to see a lot of these streaming services
start to get Sports um games right
that’s going to change the landscape of
content even more then you get more of
these fast channels like a Tubi and like
others that will come in the future and
that’s going to be a more a bigger
threat to YouTube so right now there
still a king but if YouTube doesn’t
change that business model and reward
the people that
actually which is the content creators
it’s only so long it’s only so long that
you can run this type of
model with just the Iron Fist as get
more competition YouTube is going to
start to become television if they’re
not careful but based on that though I
mean that theory of their days are
numbered everything’s gonna come I mean
we could say the same thing for Apple
right like if we just said he just said
10 years that’s what I said like but
that go no I was going I was gonna go to
the point that
Ian I haven’t heard you say it in a
while but you you used to especially
when we did the presentations these
things go in 25 year Cycles yeah and so
based on that then you know historically
we’re getting closer to that end of that
25 year cycle for a couple of these
companies yeah um YouTube accounts for
9.7% all television viewing well and for
everyone listening my favorite thing to
do and you must do as an investor write
all the weaknesses and the things that
can kill the business Rashad I agree
with you for all the tech they have how
have you not been able to quickly on
board let’s say if Kon that and
Charlemagne did 10 shows why can’t you
quickly onboard them and then that’s
Prime television
you haven’t done it for Miss Miss Rachel
Getting hundreds of million of views how
on Saturday she’s not the primary thing
that’s popping up on the YouTube
app and they don’t have a they haven’t
they don’t have a
product they that that they just haven’t
be able to create that the product and
that’s why Microsoft is the leader like
they they have they have product not
even that they this this will go down as
one of the best Acquisitions over the
last 50 years of them this open AI thing
is going to be dead that’s going to
carry them for the next 25 years yep
that’s GNA be like their horse for the
next 25 years open AI open AI is going
to revolutionize the world it already
has revolutionize the world them having
the foresight to invest in open Ai and
put them under the fold brilliant
decision Y and it will catapult them in
my opinion to number one as leader in
Tech and they will be they will be
having they will carry that flag for
another 20 years that’s I’m saying that
even that that that is that’s a that’s
the product right but if if it was
office that was the product but now you
can incorporate what you did with AI and
put it inside of the product that you’re
this you got you got sign new Talent
this is the
thing let me finish let me finish Google
doesn’t have that right like we can
attribute it like yo they have well they
have the ad platform
so it’s infrastructure there but even
with that do you think to advertise on
Google first or meta for me it’s
meta go to meta they they should have
they should have purchased Netflix when
they years ago they should have
purchased that’s what I’m saying you
have to sign it’s like lab Cash Money be
was relevant for 25 years because they
kept signing new Talent they didn’t just
have the hot boys and and that was over
no they got they got little Wayne they
got Drake they got Nicki Minaj that
carried them
so let make a point there because you’re
right but they have had the talent I
think your reference is accurate Google
their talent was YouTube that was no no
no no I’m talking about the T so the
people that are creating as so not the
not the people companies that they’re
acquiring they didn’t they haven’t done
that I’m saying that’s what I’m talking
about they have the talent that is
actually creating those companies that
when they leave my thing is like that’s
why I say even that that analogy of the
OKC team yeah that’s spot on right like
you had go out the door they had deep
mind but that that doesn’t that doesn’t
that’s not a successful formula because
we seen with PayPal that that that
didn’t just having smart people that
work at your company is only going to
mean that they’re going to become
billionaires for somebody else’s company
or their own company what I’m saying is
you got to acquire all of these
companies meta’s best decision was
acquiring Instagram which was an
independent company that was already
successful Google’s best decision was
acquiring YouTube which was an
independent company was
microft % 49
whatever of open AI which was an
independent company that was already
successful you have to look at the
landscape look at these startup
companies that are already successful
and pay a substantial amount of money to
acquire them so they regat let you do it
next leg that’s the only way that’s what
Apple has not done either and that’s
their problem they’re trying to do
everything inh house you can only do so
much with inhouse Talent you got to
acquire companies app’s model hasle ever
acquired a company of sub of substance
of
substance um oh I mean beats that gave
him the whole Apple music ecosystem yeah
beats was a good one beats was a good
one but I don’t know if beats is I don’t
know if beats is is changing the world
though it’s not a world changing it it
gave a lot of Market business went I
mean
yeah yeah it’s it’s is it world changing
though it makes a lot of money it’s it’s
a it’s a is it world world changing I
mean we come from the space where we had
headphon like Ian has right now yeah
that CH beats is not comparable to
Instagram
no that’s not fair you say it does it
change though yeah it Chang I mean well
I can argue through the acquisition of
Beats because without that beat
streaming they wouldn’t have apple music
like no they they listening to music was
not the most friendly thing and you
would walk around looking like you right
now and that’s and that’s one of the
illst moves of all time right because
they buy Beats for however much they buy
them for and Dr Dre makes $800 million
and everybody 1.2 for one for
Tyrese sure and everybody Champions that
we have a new black billionaire and that
that was great
but they have they
purchased beats to kill the company to
have
airpods right yeah so it’s like okay so
now looking back on it was that
a Dre they built a company that was
popping everybody was wearing Beats by
Dre it was Beats by Dre right you sold
your
company
and they shelv it and they they they
discarded have you heard have you heard
of be by in crazy part is that they
still sell the product but have you
heard of it have you seen anybody
wearing it that’s 800 million I don’t
care I a red P sing they can turn blue
all I usually usually I’m on the same
wavelength as you I but this one I might
have to take a different approach to it
because it’s like okay if if if these
are at that valuable right he actually
was on to something J and Jimmy iin was
actually really on to something maybe it
wasn’t just a billion dollar company
maybe it’s actually a hundred billion
dollar company right because they spent
the billion dollars not to grow the
company not to make it Instagram they
spent a billion dollars to pretty much
just sabotage it so that they can get
their wearable devices and grow it to a
3030 billion company because their
werewell devices had infrastructure to
go along with it right so they know have
apple music right so now it’s like all
right well that’s the perfect piece I’m
gonna have people listening to it and
they’re GNA be on my platform where
they’re gonna hear that music with the
best quality what I’m saying is that so
so definitely I agree with you
definitely definitely more than a
billion that was the it was worth way
more than like I said usually I’m always
for I’m for selling the company I’m for
take it not in the bush yo I’m for
selling the company and also I think
Jimmy at that time with the strangle
hold he had on music knew that decline
of music was coming people can say
whatever they want to about music
business is making more money than ever
and that Drake’s making more Larry
Jackson’s making more than ever Larry
Jackson 69 just got them cars P that did
happen
stupid right but they they still sell
the product which is interesting right
because when you the first thing we
think about is airbuds which ones we
gonna get noise cancellated but when you
go in the store you still see the Beats
there it’s like what what is what’s the
difference because they put no marketing
dollars behind it they put all the
marketing dollars behind nobody was the
the the airbuds wasn’t popping like that
when beats was out beats was controlling
the marketplace and they
no no no no it wasn’t there yet it
wasn’t there yet it wasn’t there yet the
buzz airpods came after the acquisition
okay even it was it was the over theair
it makes it makes my point even clearer
they they didn’t have a product so now
you you take a product you kill a
product to make sure it was a vertical
integration to make sure that your
product has no competition I’m I’mma buy
I’m G buy this product to make sure that
my product has no competition or I’m
going to buy that product I’mma scale
that product down to make it more
wearable so that when I’m on a train
like it they had a vision for it and
they said that’s the direct
competition rather than try to compete
with them let’s acquire them and let’s
put our vision into place you saying
you’re saying the same thing that I’m
saying I’m saying it’s a smart move for
it’s a smart move for Apple it was a
smart move for Jimmy and and Dr nobody’s
gonna be mad at having $800 million but
all I’m saying is that
maybe they underestimated the value of
Beats by Dre that’s all I’m saying at
the time maybe they underestimated the
value of Beats by Dre maybe that company
was worth 30 times more than they
thought it was could could have been
worth 30 with Dre at the front of it
though we gotta be honest there a glass
ceiling on black Le but Tech didn’t
really have any ceiling they had white
people wearing it they had that was one
of those companies that crossed over
Beast by Dre was a
that was great they they
they the market product was great too to
just it’s dead it’s over it’s over now
yeah you don’t even see them you
remember every athlete wore them before
they walked into the but you don’t see I
mean that that killed Jimmy’s
relationship with 52 you don’t see SMS
Audio and what was the other one monster
yeah no yeah remember you have to know
when it when to exit uh Google
acquisition biggest acquisition waves
double click YouTube Nest shouts to Tony
Fidel Deep Mind Fitbit um and I
think Google because they have such a
dominant strangle hold on search I think
they want to be a hardware and software
company when they should just focus on
software um apple is one of the few
companies that’s able to get the
hardware and software down I don’t know
if that the nest acquisition was
probably the best I remember when double
click got got purchased they went in the
right direction but they had deep mind
double click YouTube I think it even
today I know way more entrepreneurs that
run ads on meta than Google and Google
is like the preeminent leader in that
search space something has to be
improved and and changed there so for
sure all right they give you a check to
kill you um let’s talk about silver some
of them be stealing my swag for free and
then get mad at
me later hey Goldman hey you have blue
Panda all day I’ll support it go ahead
I’m with you what you
want 1.5 David
Brady uh warns and predicts that the
market will crash
30% uh and then rebound before the
election de BCE and crash crash to the
lowest levels in 14 years yeah um who is
this person for the audience and I think
I think that Morgan Stanley he’s a Fame
analyst um so so when we hear these
scenarios I think there’s two questions
to ask is it possible and more
importantly how do you protect yourself
and what level levels do you buy in so I
want to address that first um I’ve
talked about it before but put on a 400
day moving average on your chart and
look at the monthly chart and for all
companies that you love and the indexes
the ETFs mark off the 400 day moving
average that’s where you will want to
potentially load theat vot do I think
this could happen no but going back to
the SWAT analysis that we talked about
as an investor the number one thing you
have to focus on is what do you do if
all hell breaks loose on earth like for
most people have you figured out in your
business if the market is in a four-year
down period how will you still be
profitable in your long-term Investment
Portfolio if you don’t know how if it
hits the fan be [ __ ] right um and for
my business business owners if if sales
are flat for four years how will you
sustain yourself you have to factor
these things in like Rashad said you
have to plan for this while you’re on
top not when you’re struggling um do I
think this will happen I don’t know if
we we’ll crash and see the lowest levels
in 14 years but with Google laying off
people the partnership with meta and AI
Tesla laying off people um and even with
Red Lobster going out of business it
reminds me of 2019 when toys or us went
out business and a weaker company start
to collapse before the big players
topple over there’s something coming I
don’t know what is but I will start to
get prepared just in case but I will add
that 400 day moving average
to Apple Microsoft
Google um Intel I’ll throw them a bone
AMD and if they get to those levels I
will look to load up at those prices but
Apple being down for this many quarters
is definitely a signal that there’s
weakness in the market for sure like
they are our number one player like if
they are on injured reserve and they’re
dragging the market down and AMD is
slowly climbing down Nvidia isn’t as hot
even though the numbers are great um I
think they’re priced in some of this is
um that’s something is going to happen
probably in 2025 but your number one J
as an investor is to say if [ __ ] hits
the fan and all hell breaks loose where
do I buy in the worst case scenario is
easy to buy when everything’s going up
we saw what the options trading in 2020
no one can miss in 2020 and then who we
are in this market not many people who
were trading options in 2020 have
retired or have freedom from the money
they made in 2020 the market suggest you
have to always be
prepared and it’s one of these things
where um there’s opportunities in every
crisis so you you should always that’s
why you got to have cash readily
available if you possibly can and that’s
why you should
always educate yourself Choice option
master class right because some point in
time you’re going to be able to use this
information that you’ve been received
and then puts to the
downside yeah so yeah when a crash
happens a crash will happen so but at
some point in time a correction crash
all of this stuff happens that’s part of
the economic cycle yep
um the good thing is that if you’re
prepared for it
it’s an opportunity to make a lot of
money yep right there no such thing as a
bad Market only you have to you have to
um you have to wait years for something
like this to happen like I remember 2008
happened we didn’t see another economic
environment like that
until
2020 when was 2020 2020 March right so
that was a 12 year that was 12 years 12
years slave waiting on that boy so you
know it’s one of these things right
where it took 12 years for that to
happen and a lot of people made a lot of
money in that time frame so educate
yourself
now so when that opportunity
comes you’ll be in Prime position yeah
you you you think it it’s it’s baked in
already Ian when we talk about 2025 I
know everybody is putting so much so
much weight on hey they might the FED
might not reduce rates now until 2025
March there’s some reports coming around
but we look at some of the earnings last
week TSM obviously they reported they
beat their earnings but they pulled back
because the future guidance um of what
2024 is going to look like Netflix did
the same thing I mean they
doubled in some of their beats and they
still fell and so it feels like like you
said something’s Brewing yeah or has
have we run so far that you know what a
nice little pullback a slight correction
here yeah is what’s needed in 20124 will
still be a pretty productive year for
the market what what are your thoughts
around that I mean I think the truth is
there’s no great risk to reward
scenarios right now other than really
Tesla like if Netflix is at as high
Apple’s pull back it it hasn’t got to
correction territory um I think a lot of
people are just waiting on the sidelines
for the right time to actually get in
the market and invest
as they should like you can’t keep
buying as the market is pushing up it
works until it
doesn’t um but most seasoned investors
they’re going to wait for a pullback at
least of 7% 10% is great 20% is better
um so I think some of this is baked in
and as far as the FED I think they don’t
want to give anyone an unfair Advantage
for the election if you cut rates too
much easy win for Biden If they raise
him too much easy win for Trump I don’t
think they want to have that on their
record or watch um but I think things
are getting tough and you know I think
we’re in the middle of the road like
1995 was a time when it was a
transitional period 2005 was a period
where it was a transitional period there
was changing of guard changing of
Technology a lot of innovation came uh
one thing I do agree with Peter Schiff
on you need a correction to clean up
some of these messes that have been made
like a small session may be needed to
clean up some of the the BSS may happen
in the corporate and we’re seeing it
happen in the music industry and that’ll
eventually come over the tech it it
eventually H private Equity commercial
market so but be prepared I think the
biggest thing is to be prepared and then
if you know how to trade trade it to the
downside while still holding stocks and
equities long term so you can get the
long term um and the upside but if you
want to do that go to envest decom and
if a crash happens you’ll already be
prepared if I made you money in 2020
when crash happen please put yes in chat
and then you can go get the options from
uh Troy and then even on the media side
I’m I’m really optimistic about what
media opportunities are over these next
two or three years lot of you seeing
Stephen they going crazy I can’t wait to
hear the interview I think a lot of
people are taking for granted what is in
the media landscape and what
opportunities can present themselves
over the next three or four years Tesla
down 40% year to date Apple touched the
the 10% Mark so I guess it’s on the be
the the edge of a of a correction was am
I conspiracy theorist now
y’all 40% that’s a
crash it’s time to start using the
cocaine he down 40% boy he started too
early Jesus my
Lord so oh man so let’s talk about
Amazon another company another Legacy
company Amazon has 180 million Prime
members in the United States up 8% year
over year right so what are the re what
other retailers do you like and uh would
you pair with Amazon um I like Costco a
lot just gonna say that yeah I’ll pair
Costco if I’m going for a safety trade
in retail I would probably do them
Amazon Costco and maybe McDonald’s is a
third and I’m not the happiest with
McDonald’s for sure um but I think there
is some asymmetric R to the upside but
Amazon and Costco are the two I would
pair together
like if I had to pick my us dream team
which they did a great job of doing this
year um I’ll pair Amazon and CCO because
now you have the physical world which
they have a stringle hold on with the
membership uh great customer base and
then Amazon even like going into Prime
the shows are getting better you can
watch a little bit of live TV in Amazon
right yeah um I think they have a market
Edge and I think everybody still loves
getting their their Amazon packages the
CEO has done a great job so I would pair
those two together uh and keep my eyes
on a few others but if I had to just bet
the house on everything I would do
Amazon and Costco for sure those those
are two did did y’all see the report
about project curiosity did y’all hear
about
this he about this so 2015 and it’s
almost one of those things when you hear
like if you’re not cheating you’re not
trying uh so Amazon I tried to use that
before my favorite one of my I mean my
favorite company for sure um they had
this shell company called Big River uh
that had warehouses in five countries
and sold products to Walmart Best Buy
Overstock and a bunch of others and so
big river so purpose was to take
pictures of and screenshots of the
competitors pricing cataloging
advertising systems and they were sent
to rival conferences where they obtain
exclusive
information uh and so when you think
about trying to stay number one and stay
relevant what cost will you
do they allegedly because this this is
report in Wall Street Journal they
allegedly had this company big River the
reason they found out about it was
because that um the employees who are
from Big River they listed Amazon as
their employee on their LinkedIn pages
that was the first Telltale sign then
the second sign was uh big Rivers made
up of Japanese Street Wear brand which
is called Noto AP but it lists Seattle
as its address on the web
page pretty bad sign and then uh Big
River registration documents to the
Washington Office of the Secretary of
State included an address for Amazon’s
headquarters
so when you’re talking about trying to
compete with with one of major major big
market cap companies and the levels
they’re willing to go to make sure that
they stay ahead yeah you guys talked
about it with the diapers.com situation
like they put them out of business like
they literally created a company to to
figure out what the competition is doing
and send hired employees just to figure
it out to stay ahead I
mean pretty crazy the Costco thing I I
mean I think you spouted on going back
to the two uh companies in retail and we
spoke about it and I can’t I was in
shock when I read the report about how
you know Costco was selling gold we
talked about gold and its appreciation
it hit its all-time high but the amount
of Revenue that it brought in every
quarter for the past couple quarters
$200 million in Revenue yeah um and so
there’s a couple things around it
obviously people are looking at other
ways to invest and having a stored value
like gold is one of them but as a retail
space that’s selling it I mean it it’s
it’s kind of brilliant when you think
about like where would the average
person go if they wanted to buy
gold um I don’t know yeah I out yeah so
I mean you become a a place that people
visit pretty much every day or at least
once a week uh to to get the the
Necessities for their homes and now this
is a place inside of of your your weekly
structure where you can get it so yeah
I’m with you on those two Costco to pay
with Amazon that’s that that’s that’s a
good retail uh Duo a 27 was at 159
they’re currently at 7 uh
11
711 get your tickets to invest vest yes
please and there’s still some booths
available too if you uh if you uh want
to purchase a booth now I would say with
this booth
situation try to do businesses that
aren’t over in abundance already right
yes
I would say that right like try to be
creative if you have a business that you
know there’s a lot of similar businesses
a lot of times um so I think it would be
great to
see
some AI businesses some technology
businesses
some tutoring education businesses you
know different things of that nature
right like try to try to um
be a little bit more creative look I
love all of the people that’s selling
merch um appreciate you but there’s
obviously going to be a lot of people
selling merch right yeah so the reason
why I’m saying this is It’s a broader
conversation and just invest Fest it
goes back to the ecosystem and
businesses that we’re starting in our
communities I think that we have to be
more strategic and more mindful of the
type of businesses that we
start and think outside the box think
what’s scalable right and like I said
this is no knock on clothing brands
because it’s actually an essential item
everybody you actually have to wear
clothes right so it’s actually it’s like
one of these things that’s like food um
clothing is actually essential to life
yep so is vitally
important but everybody clothing brand
is not important like you know what I’m
saying it’s like so think about how you
can really change the world when you’re
starting a business because invest Fest
is like a a microcosm of black community
so that’s why even when Robert Smith
came and he was walking in the
marketplace and he was asking me about
the businesses and he was like what kind
of businesses do we have he like
consumer goods most mostly consumer
goods and I’m like
yeah and I’m like damn that’s kind of
when I thought about it I’m like most of
the black businesses in America are
consumer goods
and service and service based businesses
yeah right and that’s a microcosm of the
vendors that we’re seeing at invest vest
so it’s a more involved conversation but
I think that we should be more
mindful of starting different type of
businesses um because going into this
new
economy is going to be harder and harder
for consumer goods for Professional
Services type businesses that we have
traditionally started as a community to
to continue to be
successful I agree th% you got to build
a business that others cannot easily do
for sure have to what is the Futures tip
of the week um don’t run into a crowded
trade that everyone else is uh running
into so I know a lot of people are
trading ES NASDAQ great um but you may
want to give a look to the S&P 400 which
is
EMD um the price movement is a little
bit different so it gives you a little
bit more speed than es but not as fast
as NASDAQ so when you’re trading Futures
because the margin is higher you want
something that moves fast enough so you
can get in and out of your trade with
liquidity and have no issues but you
don’t want it to move so fast like if
you traded the German Dax where if you
get the position wrong right away you
have no time to get out you’re going to
bleed down so um going back to the same
point shotty of build a business that
everyone isn’t doing also you need to
find trades that everyone else is not in
some of you need to trade the British
pound or the Swiss frank or the
Bloomberg
index German Dex maybe once a month I
know everyone’s in es and NASDAQ and
then gold and crude but you need to find
some trades where there isn’t as much um
participants in it with still enough
liquidity that you can get some easy
wins in also too and it’s that’s the
same reason why I tell people to trade
to London everyone wants to trade the
American open and it’s like hundreds of
thousands of people trading it the
London session moves slower not as many
participants but you have less losses
and I know sometime people like well
moves too slow for me I’m like that’s
because you’re addicted to the process
of trading not the process of making
money from Trading Futures so find a
trade that everyone is not in and trade
the time frame that everyone is not
looking at to give you more wins in the
market yes sir yes sir key um okay let’s
talk about Bitcoin
having right thoughts on the return of
Bitcoin after the have we’re g Tre like
the solo
Eclipse um I don’t know when the next
one is after this but I think the
average return for these hav peers are
like 5,000 % to
8,000% I know y’all get tired of hearing
the hole for a longterm period but man
uh shout out to all the the Bitcoin
Maxis this return period is amazing so
if you have not gotten in I would say
hope for the next period um hope for 10
10e cycle if you did not get involved
the price is GNA slide down you don’t
have to worry about that but um I think
the most important thing is to look at
like what happens over a five or 10 year
period the gains on Nvidia have been
amazing but we will be remissed if we
did mention like the five and 10 year
gains of Bitcoin I think you guys need
to hold for long term if you want to get
rich from the market so um that’s my
biggest piece of advice hold from this
cycle to the next one and you’ll be a
okay sometimes you don’t need like the
most overwhelm and complicated strategy
sometimes the strategy is just a ho like
any period that you look back over five
years if if people would have held they
would have been a okay okay um so let’s
do the thing that makes the money not
the thing just gives us the most
excitement so um let’s give some book
book tips shall we um going back to what
you were talking about building
businesses that are different um it’s a
classic book called Blue Ocean strategy
uh if I can summarize this book it’s
really just doing the opposite of what
everyone else is doing and finding a way
to carve out your own Niche um what
other people are not doing so normally
I’ll give an investment book but if you
look at this and you can see even how
some of the biggest companies carved out
their own lane like Nvidia dominated
gaming space and they found a way to go
to Enterprise and then if they go from
Enterprise to healthare that’ll give
them another 25 years um I think that
book is a great framework to look at
businesses and analyze businesses that
are doing something that no one else is
doing like even with Apple phone isn’t
Innovative iOS Innovative and the ecos
system of having everything connected is
that business alone if it was spun off
and publicly traded will probably be t
top 15 top 20 um so Blue Ocean strategy
is a good book for entrepreneurs and for
those of us that are investors that are
looking opportunities to find businesses
that are unique and oneof a kind yes sir
yeah real quick on the the the Bitcoin
having dates after uh this week it’ll be
in 2028 obviously the month can’t be
determined just yet and then after that
it’ll be 2032 so every four years yeah
it’ll be interesting the leadup to it
we’ve seen seen it run up to 70,000 it’s
pulled back to 61 yep traditionally
it’ll pull back a little bit more but
those in between years like we said the
fourth year is going to be the best year
and it’s proven to to to the that exact
pace so we’ll see where it pulls back a
little bit but these in between years
and exactly what Ian said is if you’re
going to invest in it that’s when you
should
yep all right what are some effective
ways or strategies to prepare for a
Black Swan event um watch the
show he stop saying you guys are
conspiracy theorist is never going and
now Bloomberg and CNBC is talking about
the fall of Elon like this company’s G
not going to completely fall but just
listen um a lot of times we put our
emotions into the information and just
take the information for what it is and
look at the timing of it so if you look
at let’s see the 2008 crisis covid the
bust of 2000 brexit the Japanese asset
bubble burst of ’92 Swiss frank
unpacking in 2015 September 11th to 2001
like every six to eight years there is a
Black Swan event that happens and then
you have to prepare for where you want
to buy like although they are disasters
for other
people if you are prepared you should
see some of these coming and be able to
take advantage of them I told you guys
from the very beginning like when Co hit
I was prepared because I had since 2008
and N for this
moment um flash crash of 2010 that was a
big thing um so I think every four to
six years you should just mark off that
there could be a big correction or
potential crash and then read and go
through the information every day I know
it feels like it’s a wasted assignment
or errand but you’re going to be happy
like when Trump won the election that
night like I said that one night of
tradeing
Futures was the most money I made at
that time and in those trades I made
more money in that night than I did the
previous two years
took a lot of prep though people always
look at the Steve Harvey interview what
about all the interviews that you had
before then leading up to to know on
what questions to ask how to light
things properly pacing ton out like you
need moments of practice to get into the
big Grand Slam moment so keep your eyes
peeled um I don’t know what’s going to
happen with bricks but if they ever do
become like the preeminent player in the
geopolitical space that is going to be a
flash crash event I don’t know if this
World War III situation will ever happen
but if it
does Black Swan event um and if they
start telling the truth about how banks
are not doing doing
well a Black Swan event will be here so
what do you think how much Capital do
you think is needed to have reserves I
guess to having your brokerage account
ready for these events right is it is
there amount that would be all right 5ou
if I have 5,000 ready to go deploy 10
thou what like what would you suggest
minimum 10
grand minimum 10 grand for those of you
that are millionaires I have 100 Grand
set to the side ideal because these
because what here’s what always happens
it happens in two months 0 people be
like oh man I wish I would invested how
many people do we know from Co was like
well I didn’t know I’m like no I called
every price out cool you have to be
prepared because these opportunities are
sometimes once in a
lifetime for sure get your money market
counts already for sure
so any adjustments that you would
recommend to protect your account in in
in the event of a black swarm um if
you’re investing in something for sure
once if you are drawing down 20% exit
because if you start to see four assets
go negative 20% long term something’s
coming people want to fight it and then
also you can look at M2 money
supply um and secondly you can look at
hedge fund outflows so if like a lot of
money leaving the hedge funds you want
to wait till they get to like multi
year lows and then you can re-enter but
if something is sliding down 20% or if
your indexes get down to 20%
negative ex you got to find a place to
reenter you you have to save yourself
from bleeding out and then pick the same
ones Buy in and then you’ll see the the
return on the upside 20% on the index is
that’s something something major has
happened has happen yes and like I said
you it be on uh Pat backa talk about it
Stephen we’ll be talking about then like
Butner gets talking about Rog what
happened with the market that’s when you
know it’s hell on Earth when you can’t
escape it from mainstream media that’s
when you know something is happening
that’ll be the first story on the news
oh yeah absolutely
yeah what’s the biggest scam in
investing um spacks for one a lot of
those are dead
um y’all want me to go here
please I I think
um people who put funds
together that don’t have credibility or
backing from higher institutions that
provide safety to our
community I’ll leave it there y’all can
cut it out if y’all want
to but it’s too much of it going you can
cut it out it’s be a clippable moment
but I think that’s the reading the tea
leaves
I don’t want no drama no but I’m being
honest like um even on the spack
side even on the gofund meets all that
like I think it’s it’s been too much
Capital raise in an easy environment um
to sell returns that are
not likely from even major firms so so
who who you who you who you referring to
J
Morrison that who you referring to when
I said it two years going Vegas my mic
got cut
so no no no no no that the mic didn’t
get cut it was technology from that
other
company I think it’s a teachable moment
look you know it’s one of these things
right where um I mean I it’s
um it’s teachable moment and I think
that he I I believe
um I believe he was in over his head and
did things and acted off ego from I
don’t know him personally I met him
three times in my life but it seemed
that he had tremendous
ego and um a lot of times when
ego leads when you lead with ego um you
fall into trouble right and then you you
try to make up for your your mistakes
with more ego and more pride and that
just leads you into more mistakes right
and and um I think that you have to be
extremely careful when taking people’s
money I never took anybody’s money as a
financial advisor that was the first
thing I always told people was that
you’re not writing a check to Rashad
nobody ever nobody ever wrote a check to
Rashad balow fund or Rashad Bal
Incorporated I was an intermediate
person that would invest your money for
you in Fidelity in Black Rock in
different mutual funds Life Insurance
Franklin Templeton yeah yeah Franklin
Templeton stuff like that exactly I was
never responsible for actually um
personally pushing the button and moving
money around for people and going into
their bank accounts and different things
of that nature so that’s the first thing
I tell people is that um when you’re
investing money I’m not really a big fan
in investing money with a person yeah
right if you buy real estate you should
you should be able to buy real
estate direct now not just say that
there are some crowdfunding platforms
that have been successful yes not to say
that every single crowdfunding platform
is a scam but that’s one of the the the
that’s one of the things I think that
you can learn from this lesson because
what whatever happened it it’s already
happened but it’s like how can we avoid
these type of situations from happening
again right um so as a consumer I think
that that’s something that you should be
aware of is not to invest money
directly as opposed to you know having
it done independently or something that
you’re actually in control over yeah and
I mean I gave a TED Talk
actually a few years ago and I said that
you know anybody that Mis
misappropriates or abuses the trust of
the
people they’re gonna be held accountable
not not my job I’m not the police I
don’t I don’t do the the work of the
police because I’m not on
pinion right you’re not
Chicago yeah I’m not I’m not
I I don’t talk to the police a lot a lot
of people
do but I don’t it’s just personally the
way that I was raised I don’t talk to
police and I don’t do police work so
don’t ask me about Diddy cuz I don’t
know anything tell you right and it’s
not my job to
expose the breaking scam artist of the
decade but ultimately we got an
obligation to protect people from the
[ __ ] though they gonna get exposed
themselves right and it’s always
happened it’s never that’s why I said I
said this six months ago that there’s no
benefit of scamming somebody yeah a lot
of some people didn’t fully understand
they like well the benefit is that you
make money what I mean mean by that is
that over the course of the time you’re
going to lose you’re going to lose more
money than you made you’re going to be
sued your reputation is going to be dism
and you you might even actually go to
jail so there’s no benefit of it Bernie
M off is the biggest he’s run the
biggest scam that we’ve seen right and
he ended up dying in jail yeah there’s
no benefit in it that’s what I’m trying
that’s what I’m trying to say so yeah I
mean I’m not the judge and jury here
and I’m not a detective but if you will
be held accountable by the people that
you yeah into into your situation I
don’t need to hold you accountable the
people are going to hold you accountable
and that’s stronger than my voice 10,000
voices are stronger than just my one
voice right so it’s a learnable
experience for this this whole thing and
it’s it’s
unfortunate and um you know it it’s it’s
something that unfortunately is going to
happen again it’s human nature it always
happens always happens over the course
of time but
y in the future um I would
advise anyone that is
considering ego Pride getting a quick
Buck I would highly advise you against
it yeah now you can do whatever you want
you can
disregard what I’m saying but if I were
you I would just I would advise you not
to go that route because
ultimately I don’t think that it’s been
official I don’t think that is worth it
and I think that you will you will pay a
tremendous price for your transgressions
yeah also there are no
shortcuts like secondly
uh if anyone approaches you with
anything um have them make you money for
free that’s I always put in if I made
you money please put yes in chat most of
y’all who made money for me you made it
for
free so I have no issues with that
brother wish him well um there’s a lot
of great things you can learn from him
on the marketing side but you got to
deliver that
actual return so y’all be careful but
also as a community we have to stop
wanting the easy Sensational thing M I
don’t like it when I say 50 pages 80
Pages study the market 12 hours a day
y’all be like [ __ ] that okay cool
shortcuts short results man so prayers
everybody I want no drama no smoke if
you see this please don’t think that I’m
on that I don’t have time for it I’m
cool but go master craft Go Master your
craft so
prayers up to everybody yeah it’s needed
it’s needed there you have it ladies and
gentlemen oh before we gota we gota we
gotta do it
man go okay go ahead we gotta talk about
it man yes allegedly are fing for
bankrupcy before we go we got to touch
on the
topic what’s happening chapter 11 man
they’re going out of business see what
happened ladies when the dudes can’t
take you to
the no it it from from the reports I
read it sounded like they were they were
profitable right when they they had and
they blamed it on the all you can eat
shrimp and it sounds like it’s pretty
comical but this this is a real business
lesson right all you could eat was a one
day a week event which is insane which
is insane all you can shrimp right what
happened was I think uh maybe the the
new CEO or CEO decided to say all right
well we’re making so much money on this
Tuesday let’s see what happens if we do
it every day now they did generate
Revenue y right but they did not make
profit because of the amount of
consumption from having shrimp available
all you can eat every day of the week
yeah I think they went in debt like 11
to 12 million insane and now they can’t
figure out how to generate Revenue back
to offset the cost you don’t and what
were they charging for this all you e
can
eat it’s been so long since I’ve been at
Red l i mean this used to be a staple
for like the community this is like you
get the the cheese biscuits you get the
you biscuit fire everything was yeah see
the little lobster in the tank before
they kill them for you right but like
you said Legacy companies die if you
don’t innovate and this is why for the
last what 12 months my favorite term net
margin autod deployment of capital AI
all that [ __ ] all that [ __ ] is cute we I
want to see net margin 100 bucks come in
how much do you get to cheat yeah the
rest of that that [ __ ] sound e all that
[ __ ] net
margin cool you can’t let people say
like that’s like hey come over my house
every Tuesday you can take anything out
my house you want to for 20 bucks that’s
a risk reward ratio I don’t want to be a
part of but I think fast casual as a
whole was going through a lot of
pressure Chipotle is fine Cal’s gonna be
fine McDonald’s going to be fine but
some of these Lyal restaurants not going
to do good uh I would keep my eyes on
the D group to see I was just going to
say what do you think what do you think
that the the trajectory will be for the
I wouldn’t I would listen now because of
inflation you almost have to be luxury
as a way to mitigate
risk like you can’t have a place that
sells dinner for 25
bucks as a restaurant like you’re screw
same thing like you said shotty with Tik
Tock and like Facebook like okay great
you got a car about a niche and being in
the middle is
terrible don’t be no no even when people
complain about my high prices I’m like I
rather be high priced and attract the
right audience then low and track the
wrong people I’m good I think um the
companies that are in the
middle that category of lower middle
class is going to cut cost First and as
a result but this reminds me of 2019
when Toys R R Us went out of business
and everyone was like it doesn’t matter
the smaller weaker companies are going
to collapse first before we start to see
real signs of trouble I keep my eyes on
things darting I will look at young
Brands and see how that stock does um
over the next six to eight months the
fast food inflation has been
insane so you have to be very mindful of
that but uh shout out to all y’all who

learn about how the inw workings of
politics really go from a local level to
a state level to a federal level it’s a
it’s a learning it was a definitely a
learning process for me for sure um but
then getting to see who’s responsible

Forefront of it and based on your

Espirito Santo! 😂
Apple Music is why Apple bought beats. Beats owned a streaming platform that Apple wanted and turned it into Apple Music. And then they kept the headphones as the “sports line” of AirPods.
I think Google will be fine with cloud, AI, YouTube, search engine, advertising, phones and a mountain of cash. Maybe not the same level of growth but they should still have solid returns over next decade.
" Only the paranoid survive"
Ya need to let Troy get his point across. I want to hear what he has to say. I still love the show. Thanks
The closet to Kelly Rowland I can get, 😂😂🤣
What if Google gets a chance to buy TikTok?

@28:48 being paid a royalty*
Nice add on the question text! Much appreciated!
You guys are educating me soooo much🎉
Red lobster cheese biscuits, extremely important. And delicious.
YouTubes days are numbered was crazy talk 😂😂 I get it tho…. but I don't see it. if anything they get better. they could pay creators better tho. I hear that one 💯💯💯💯. YouTube could buy brick and mortars and start clubs
another great show
Go RedPanda!
im still irritated about Google selling domain space to square but we'll see if things are managed better, but im concerned for prices increasing
Im listening to this with some brand new Dre beats (over the ear) my 5th pair…. they brake you lose one. I stepped on one. they go well with Sony phones 💯💯💯💯
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Y’all are becoming my official source of info……thank you for all you do‼️
Investors with a long term view are well positioned for the ultimate recovery because they understand that the market and economy will eventually revive. I'm doing great personally and will keep pushing hard in this wild market. Right now, my portfolio is up 43%. I'm going to take a backseat and watch how this all works, gradually adding more stocks.
Min 38:44…you got Diddy'd
Imagine OnlyFans running NFL!
I have to use that NBA player stock stats. Thank you🙏
You guys are missing the biggest elephant in the room the cost of the iPhone is ridiculous for what you get, also there is no eco system locked down. I am from the UK
Thanks guys for all the gems💎
Wow…. I am blown away by this presentation. I was an insecure 59 year old, in January 2018 when I started buying Bitcoin/crypto. Everyone though I was irrational. Most still do. I put my income and savings and watched the value drop each month but for some reason really believed in Bitcoin and alt coins/blockchain even though I don't totally understand. Finally, the crypto market started turning around and I am astonished at the value of my crypto currency portfolio today. I engaged in active trading and managed to grow a nest egg of around 2.3Bitcoin to a decent 24Bitcoin….At the heart of this evolution is Francine Duguay, whose deep understanding of both cryptocurrency and traditional trading has been instrumental. Her holistic approach to investment and commitment to staying abreast of market trends make her an invaluable ally in navigating this new era in cryptocurrency investment.
Glad you said create different type businesses. We go towards the things that seem cool and shy away from things that seem “difficult” and tech. All these billionaires and i am not aware of any black business thats not dealing with entertainment or fashion
I feel like Cheddars can buy out Red Lobster just like Amazon could've bought out Toys R Us. That's sad to see them go.
Hey EYL / Ian Dunlap, Great show… Troy / Ian, you guys need to let Troy finish his sentences & thought even though there may be an indifferent of opinions…. We the audience would like too hear his perspective too w/out interruptions, he makes some constructive points!!
Part 2: Meant to include Rashad too….
Oh,,, That Rick Ross…No Diddy. Let the show begin.
Funny how they see jay Morrison ego as an issue but not theirs smh
😂
I'm always into Troys perspectives, but yall keep interrupting him
Your takes on Google are bad. They do have many other products and kids do still use Google, it's by far the best search engine. YouTube is also not going anywhere, there aren't any other platforms that come close.
