    guys and get into this this financial
    news um yeah stocks crypto real estate
    got some really bad news got some really
    bad news well I I guess I guess it
    depends on how you look at it right now
    as an
    investor that’s me right that that
    should be you or or why would you even
    be watching this this this live stream
    if you’re not an investor and you’re not
    trying to build wealth what’s the point
    right so all of us are
    investors and and
    anytime an investor can make some money
    I think that’s a good thing especially
    when you’re in the building stage of
    wealth now information we’re going to go
    through some people may look at that
    it’s bad
    news and and and it and it can be
    perceived that way but I I look at it as
    opportunity right so so so you got to
    change the way you think especially if
    you’re in the building stage of wealth
    and you’re trying to buy assets at a
    discount and then hold those assets long
    term till they go up in value and then
    create more net worth for yourself this
    may not be bad news right but but but to
    the average person person who’s not an
    investor who has not changed their
    mindset who is still a consumer and not
    an investor this is bad news to them but
    for you and I it’s not bad news It’s
    actually an opportunity to build more
    wealth right and I’ll tell you why so
    let’s dive into
    why and what’s happening that has caused
    this bad news for stocks crypto and real
    estate well GDP
    now some of you might say well Richard
    what in the world is GDP I don’t know
    what that is that’s gross domestic
    product so so what does it do why why
    why am I concerned about it number one
    let’s give a definition for
    it so gross thetic gross domestic
    product a broad measure of goods and
    services
    produced in the January through March
    period right so when you look at GDP
    gross domestic product it’s a broad
    measure of goods and services produced
    in the United
    States right it’s measured quarterly and
    it’s measured
    annually
    2023 right our economy right our economy
    the measure of goods and services
    produced in our economy grew over
    3% that was
    2023 Fant fantastic because the
    measuring stick is we want it at least
    to grow by 2% that’s the measuring
    stick when when we look at
    GDP how fast our economy grows in a year
    we want it to at least grow by
    2% right and honestly we really wanted
    to
    grow more than inflation grows that’s my
    opinion now you may not agree with that
    I’m no no scholar here I’m just telling
    you it makes sense to me and and my
    limited capacity to to understand this
    stuff it makes sense to me if the goods
    and services that I use every day are
    going up in
    price it would make sense
    that you know I I want to make
    sure right I want to make sure I’m able
    to afford those
    things right so here’s the thing
    if inflation is going up by 2% I want my
    salary to go up by
    4% I always want to be ahead of
    inflation now to me inflation has
    something to do with
    GDP again what is that the measure of
    goods and services
    produced right so so if the goods and
    services produced in our economy is 3%
    then guess what I need to make sure I
    need to make sure I’m making more money
    than that I want my wages to go up
    higher than that because obviously I’m a
    participant in this economy I’m a
    participant I’m part of the measure of
    these I’m I’m part of the reason these
    goods and services have went up or or or
    or being more more being produced I’m
    part of that because I’m I’m a consumer
    right I’m a
    consumer
    if the measure of our goods and services
    produce goes down and not up what does
    that mean that’s not good news for our
    economy guys so as we go through this I
    just want you to understand the goal
    here is the measuring stick is
    2% that’s the measuring stick that
    that’s the minimum we needed to because
    we know inflation is going to go up
    right we we know the prices of our goods
    and services are going to go up we know
    that how fast they go up that’s what
    we’re trying to control with inflation
    we’re trying to control how fast they go
    up in in price but we know they’re going
    to go up in price we want to control
    that by 2% as well that’s why the FED
    won’t inflation at
    2% we know it’s going to go up we just
    don’t want it to go up faster than 2%
    now we want our economy to grow don’t
    get me wrong we do want want it to grow
    but we don’t want it to grow so fast
    that it jacks up inflation that that’s
    the thing you got to understand guys we
    want the economy to grow we just don’t
    want it to be so red hot that it also
    brings up inflation with it and it
    outpaces our wages which has happened
    since the pandemic broke out four years
    ago the goods and services compounded
    from a compounding standpoint have have
    grown by 18% but our wage is about 3 to
    4% right so that’s a bad thing we don’t
    want that we don’t want the goods and
    services going up in price and outpacing
    our salaries that’s not good so here we
    go let’s talk about this GDP number that
    actually came in for the first
    quarter and the personal uh consumption
    expenditures index as well we’ll talk
    about both of those um so the US economy
    growth was much
    weaker than expected to start to year to
    start the year they’re talking about the
    first
    quarter January through
    March January through March so the US
    economic growth was much weaker than
    expected to start the year and Prices
    rose at a faster Pace the Commerce
    Department reported Thursday so this
    report came out yesterday gross domestic
    product a broad measure of goods and
    services produced in January through
    March period increased at
    1.6% annualized PACE when adjusted for
    seasonality and inflation and this is
    according to the Department of Bureau of
    economic
    analysis economists surveyed by Dow
    Jones had been looking for an increase
    of
    2.4% following a 3.4 gain in the four
    fourth quarter of 23 and 4.9 in the
    previous period so we we we our economy
    did not grow as
    expected didn’t grow see we need at
    least
    2% now don’t get me wrong the the the
    definition the the the the technical
    definition for a recession is when you
    have two quarters of GDP that are
    negative so 1.6 is still growth it’s not
    the growth that everybody was expecting
    but it’s still growth it’s not a
    negative 1.6 that would be bad so it
    still grew at 1.6% in the first 3 months
    the problem is everybody else thought it
    was going to grow at 2.4 to 2 you know
    they thought it was going to go grow
    faster but it didn’t it didn’t we’ll
    find out why here in a second consumer
    spending though increased 25% in the
    same
    period right down from 3.3 gain in the
    fourth quarter and below the 3% Wall
    Street
    estimated so Wall Street estimated
    consumer spending would be 3% but it
    only came in at two and a
    half so two of those we missed estimates
    right we missed the GDP estimate and we
    missed the spending estimate right fixed
    investments in government spending at
    the state state and local level helped
    keep GDP positive for the
    quarter a lot of government spending was
    thrown in there right whether at the
    federal or state level that helped us
    get the GDP to 1.6 take that out it may
    have been worse is what they’re saying
    it may have been worse while a decline
    in private inventory investment and an
    increase in Imports subtracted net
    exports subtracted 0.8 6% from the
    growth rate while consumer spending
    contributed 1.68 percentage points so
    here’s the deal all that fancy stuff all
    that terminology that none of us
    understand here’s my little simplest
    breakdown for you the economy is slowing
    down I’m just telling you for the first
    quarter it slowed down the question you
    got to ask yourself is
    why why is it slowing down what’s
    happening
    what is happening to the economy that it
    slowed down to 1.6% when all of last
    year 2023 it was booming it ended 2023
    at
    3% but now it slowed down why is it
    slowing down that’s what we should be
    asking
    ourselves and if it’s slowing down is
    there an opportunity for me as an
    investor to get
    rich whether you want to believe it or
    not Guys these these are the times where
    people really build wealth when
    everybody is screaming and crying and
    and and and and and don’t don’t take
    this the wrong way when there are
    Financial blood in the
    streets Financial blood in the streets
    is where people get
    rich typically people don’t get rich
    when there is financial gold in the
    streets you don’t get rich then you get
    rich when there’s Financial blood in the
    streets when people are panicking people
    are are are are are are just you know
    what I’m saying that’s when you get rich
    that’s when assets are at the cheapest
    and then you hold those assets till they
    go back up in value so just keep that in
    mind why is it retreating why did we not
    grow at least 2% in the first quarter
    let’s keep
    reading let’s keep reading cuz it’s
    going to give us some idea of what’s
    Happening
    Here there was some bad news
    on the inflation front as
    well not
    only did the economy not grow at least
    2% it came in at 1.6 not only did it
    didn’t grow not only is the economy
    slowing down
    shrinking either it’s growing or it’s
    shrinking would you agree with that
    either we grow or we
    shrink We Shrunk now technically some
    people might say well Richard high in
    the world could just say it shrunk when
    it still is a positive well it’s a
    positive but when you base it off what
    expectations were We
    Shrunk right expectations was
    2.4% We Shrunk to
    1.6 when we look at the measuring stick
    from the last quarter which is fourth
    quarter
    2023 We Shrunk fourth quarter 2023 was a
    monster We Shrunk there’s a reason why
    we’re shrinking right right so let’s
    keep keep moving not only did we get the
    shrinkage in the economy but we also got
    bad news on the inflation front as well
    double wiing again though how do we look
    at it we can look at it as what bad news
    or we can look at it as what
    opportunity because we know when we get
    bad news in our economy when we get bad
    news about inflation what happens to
    assets typically they go
    down that’s the way the world Works guys
    when we get bad news economy wise
    inflation wise interest rates wise
    assets do
    what when we get good
    news economy-wise when we get good news
    about inflations going down and we get
    good news when interest rates are going
    down what do assets do
    they go up just keep that in mind as we
    read through this whether you’re going
    to think about this as bad news or
    whether you going to think about this as
    opportunity because we coming to the
    opportunity part here in a second see
    this is what I think about anytime I see
    Financial blood in the streets the first
    thing comes to mind for me is is what
    assets can I go pick up at a discount
    and get
    rich that’s how I think that’s how
    that’s how my little filter system
    thinks hopefully your filter system is
    thinking that
    the personal consumption expenditures
    pce price index a key
    inflation variable for the Federal
    Reserve Rose at a
    [Music]
    3.4% annualized pace for the first
    quarter it’s the biggest gain in a year
    and up from
    1.8% in the fourth quarter
    that’s not good news that’s not good
    news but is it an
    opportunity right that’s not good news
    if you’re a consumer and you’re you’re
    not thinking about Building Wealth
    you’re just thinking about buying
    liabilities and and and getting more
    loans and and and and you know spending
    your money on things that make other
    people wealthy that’s bad news to you
    but if you’re an investor you’re going
    to use this your advantage to build
    wealth you’re going to use to your
    advantage to build wealth excluding food
    and
    energy core
    pce Prices rose at
    3.7% rate both well above the fed’s 2%
    Target I keep telling you guys
    something’s getting ready to
    happen something’s getting ready to
    happen something’s getting ready to
    happen a lot of people F to get rich
    there are a lot of people getting ready
    to get rich I’m one of them I hope you
    are ready to get rich I hope you got
    your mindset right I hope you got your
    War chest right I hope you got your
    financial house in order to get rich
    because if you don’t you ain’t going to
    get
    rich you’re going to get poor I I hate
    to say that and I’m not trying to make
    you feel bad I’m just trying to paint
    this picture of you you got to get
    yourself ready
    you got to get
    ready somebody’s getting rich over these
    next 10 years over these next two years
    over these next 5 years somebody is
    going to get rich I’m going to be one of
    them
    somebodies I’m not sure about you I’m
    going to be one of them somebodies I can
    guarantee you that let’s keep reading
    excluding food and energy core pce
    rolls
    right by 3 . 7% both were well above the
    fed’s 2% Central Bank officials tend to
    focus on core inflation as a stronger
    indicator of long-term trends so here’s
    the situation guys if
    pce according to what they’re saying
    this is what the FED hangs their hat on
    right this is what they gauge inflation
    on is moving
    up not down so what does that do for
    interest
    rates what are the fed’s choices for
    interest
    rates they got to keep them higher for
    longer or they got to increase
    them there ain’t no decrease how can you
    decrease interest rates when inflation
    is going up you
    can’t you got to increase interest rates
    when inflation is going up to force
    inflation down now I’m not saying
    they’re going to increase but you do
    know they’re meeting next Tuesday and
    Wednesday ail 30th May 1 you do know
    they’re going to look at it they’ve
    already looked at this pce
    report they already see what GDP did
    they’ve already seen the last three CPI
    reports they’ve already seen the last
    three job
    reports what do you think they’re going
    to do with interest rates next
    week what do you think on May one when
    they make the decision on interest rates
    what is it going to be I wonder
    inflation is still going up I doubt
    they’re going to
    decrease I doubt it but is that bad news
    or is that an
    opportunity you got to make the decision
    on that I can’t make it for you I can’t
    make that decision for you you got to
    figure out on which side of this thing
    are you going to be on you going to be
    on the bad news side and and and and
    cave in and and and and believe all the
    propaganda and all this other crap or
    you going to be on this side over here
    that says you know something that’s an
    opportunity that’s an opportunity for me
    to get rich that’s an opportunity for me
    to build some wealth and put some pot of
    gold put some gold in my pot at the end
    of the rainbow you got to make that
    determination guys the price index for
    GDP sometimes called the chain weighted
    level increased at 3.1% rate compared to
    the doubt estimate of three
    that don’t sound
    good I’m no I’m no
    Economist but that don’t sound good if
    we if we expected 3% but it came in
    higher that don’t sound good that would
    that that would you throw in inflation
    right that don’t sound good markets
    here’s what the effect on the stock
    market I told y’all we get to the
    opportunity didn’t I I told you just
    hang in there with me we’ll get to the
    opportunity here here’s the opportunity
    let’s read about the opportunity real

    jokers ready to strike you ever seen a
    king cobra I’m talking about a snake
    it’s a it’s called king cobra you ever
    seen that suckle before it’s ready to
    strike that’s where we should be as
    investors we should be like a king cobra
    coiled up and ready to just decimate
    something decimate these the these these
    these Blue Chip Big Boy paper assets and
    and ETF we should
    be I I’m telling you guys somebody going
    to get
    rich somebody going to get
    rich somebody why can’t that be us why
    can’t we get
    rich Let’s Get
    Rich but you got to be ready you can’t
    be like a days ago and oh golly I got to
    know everything about everything before
    I can do anything that’s just an excuse
    and you’re going to stay broke this
    opportunity going to miss you you’re not
    going to get rich you’re going to stay
    right where you’re at you you you got to
    get out of that mind
    frame right you got to get in this mind
    frame like I said you got to be like a
    king cobra ready to
    strike let’s talk about this opportunity
    markets slumped following the news with
    Futures tied to the
    Dow off more than 400 points treasury
    yields moved higher with a benchmark
    10-year note most recently at
    4.69 so here’s the
    thing and I’ve explained this let’s
    explain it again because I think it’s
    worth us talking about
    again so when Big Boy
    investors big boys I’m talking about Big
    Boy investors Wall Street firms
    billionaires hedge
    funds Big Boy investors control 75% of
    the activity in the stock market Big Boy
    investors when Big Boy investors hear
    bad news like this remember Big Boy
    investors are short-term
    investors retail investors like you and
    I we should long-term investors why Big
    Boy investors are dealing with billions
    and trillions of dollars so they got
    they can be shortterm they can move
    their billions and trillions into
    something for 30 days 60 days move it
    out and make
    billions right you and I we we dealing
    in hundreds and thousands not billions
    and trillions we’re dealing in hundreds
    and thousands so for us to move in and
    out of something with hundreds and
    thousands we create pennies they create
    billions of dollars because they’re
    dealing with billions of dollars we’re
    dealing with hundreds of dollars and
    thousands of dollars so we don’t make
    much so the only way we going to get
    rich is we got to put our thousand our
    hundreds and keep it in there for a long
    period of time like 10 years then we get
    rich Big Boy investors don’t have to do
    that because they already rich see it’s
    one thing when you’re already rich and
    you’re in the stock market it’s easy to
    come in and out of it cuz you’re already
    rich but when you ain’t rich and you
    trying to get rich it ain’t no get in
    and get out real quick cuz you making
    pennies you got to get in and stay in
    and put more in and put more in and put
    more in and wait 10 years then you get
    rich that’s how it works so 75% of the
    market are big boy investors who are
    already
    rich they can move in and out of this
    stuff so what happens is when they get
    bad news guess what they do they move
    their money out and put it in something
    else that’s what they put it in it’s
    treasuries one of the instruments they
    put their money in until they’re ready
    to move back into the market again is is
    treasuries be us treasuries it could be
    money markets where they can hold that
    money and get them three four five six
    not not three to 5% return right they
    can do short-term treasuries bills I
    think bills are shortterm you got bills
    notes and bonds bonds bonds are longterm
    right but you can do you can do bills
    you can do notes and you can do
    bonds all of treasuries or you can go to
    a money market or you can do some type
    of overnight investment sweep it back in
    the next morning you can do a lot of
    stuff when you already got billions of
    dollars when you ain’t got billions of
    dollars like most of us I don’t have
    billions of dollars so what I have to do
    in order to build my wealth is is I got
    to get what I do have and I got to
    consistently put it in buy these assets
    keep them hold them buy more keep them
    hold them let them Compound on each
    other let get the dividends reinvest the
    dividends let them compound and then in
    10 years from now I’m
    rich that that’s how it works that’s the
    tradeoff right because we don’t have
    billions that’s okay though I got
    time see I got time I got
    patience I did it for 30 years guys and
    made a lot of money seven
    figures doing exactly what I’m telling
    you to do even though I’m not a big boy
    investor I still made Seven figures
    doing it the way I did
    it and I I’m still a relatively young
    man good
    health great
    lifestyle don’t want for nothing Own
    100% of my
    time I’m just telling you guys you you
    you you got to you got to look at this
    as an opportunity right add some
    patience to your lifestyle it it’ll be
    good for you markets slumped following
    the
    news with Futures tied to the Dow down
    by 400 points treasury yields goes up
    why do treasury yields go up why because
    you get
    more demand for treasuries when the
    stock market goes down Big Boy investors
    take their money out and they’re looking
    for somewhere to put it they put it in
    treasuries that makes more demand for
    treasuries when treasuries have more
    demand what do they do they go up an
    interest rate because it’s more
    Demand right anytime the stock market
    starts doing good Big Boy investors
    start coming back what happens to
    treasuries they go down why lack of
    demand this is how it works they come
    out of the stock market they go into
    treasuries they leave treasuries they
    come back into the stock market that’s
    how it works this was this was a worst
    of Both Worlds report the worst of Both
    Worlds report
    slower than expected growth I just told
    y’all didn’t I tell you five minutes ago
    the economy is slowing down it’s slowing
    down it’s slowing down it’s
    shrinking that’s what they’re telling
    you here now I’m not that smart I’m no
    but but the basic understanding of our
    economy I got the basics down I got the
    basics
    down right I I I know if last year it
    did 3% all year and in in the fourth
    quarter they what did they say it did
    4.9 in the fourth quarter something like
    that let me go back and look at that
    make sure I don’t get that wrong what
    did it say in the fourth quarter it
    did I missed that part but in the fourth
    quarter there it is so it says The
    Economist survey by do Jones had been
    looking for an increase of 2.4 following
    a 3.4 gain in the fourth quarter of 2023
    so in 2023 fourth quarter it did
    3.4% that’s what it grew
    I ain’t real good in math but if I take
    3.4 against
    1.6 the 3.4 is higher so if 3.4 last
    year just one quarter ago and now you do
    1.6 that’s shrinking it shrunk from the
    last quarter the last quarter was 3.4%
    growth amazing it shrunk down to 1.6 not
    amazing right so you ain’t got to be
    that smart to figure that part out right
    not that smart to figure that
    out so here we go this was the worst of
    both world’s report slower than expected
    growth higher than expected inflation
    that’s a that’s the that’s that’s the
    bad news growth slowed but inflation
    went
    up that’s what I’m telling you that’s
    the that’s the financial blood in the
    streets inflation goes up but growth
    goes down not good unless you’re an
    investor like you and I unless you’re
    somebody that’s trying to build wealth
    this is not a bad report if you’re
    trying to build wealth right that’s my
    opinion you may
    disagree we are not far from all rate
    Cuts being backed out of investor
    expectations
    so this guy who works for CIBC private
    wealth group he basically went on record
    and said this is not good news guys if
    we’re trying to get the FED to reduce
    interest rates we’re almost at a point
    right now where you can take rate cuts
    off the table in
    24 that’s basically what he’s saying
    he’s saying you you’re pretty much at
    the point where the FED is going to have
    to come on record now they probably
    won’t but he’s thinking they will well
    he ain’t think they will I’m thinking
    they will come on record and say no rate
    Cuts if that happens
    guys what a great OPP it’s going to be
    some it’s going to be some opportunities
    cuz I’m tell you the stock market will
    sell off and it will sell off big but
    don’t panic Don’t Panic look at it as an
    opportunity to get rich that’s what I do
    I look at it as an opportunity to get
    rich so here we go we are not far from
    all rate Cuts being out of investor
    expectations it
    forces Fed chair Jerome Powell into a
    hawkish tone for the next for next
    week’s
    fomc
    meeting it listen man this is a perfect
    storm getting ready to happen now I know
    some of y’all going to freak out if the
    stock market sells off by 20% a lot of
    y’all gonna freak out I’m not
    as soon as it sells
    off I’m I’m all in soon as it sells off
    if it sells off if it sells off I’m in
    even
    more because I know it’s temporary
    that’s the key guys it’s temporary if it
    sells off it’s temporary right it’s
    temporary but it’s an opportunity for us
    to build some wealth if we know what
    we’re doing and paying attention and not
    being afraid if we’re not afraid and
    we’re willing to execute and we got the
    war chest we got the financial house in
    order we got the attitude in order we
    got patience in the game plan we’ll get
    rich we will get rich like fat rats we
    will get
    rich the report comes with markets on
    edge about the state of monetary policy
    and when the Federal Reserve will start
    cutting its Benchmark interest rates the
    FED funds rate which sets what banks
    charge each other for overnight limit in
    that’s not the rate you get oh Richard 5
    and a half that’s not that bad of a rate
    what do you mean that’s pretty dang on
    good the problem is you don’t get that
    rate you don’t get that rate that’s what
    banks borrow money from each other
    that’s what they get it what the rate
    you get going to have 3% jumped on top
    top of it at least that’s called a prime
    rate that’s what you get that’s what I
    get so when I go in the bank I don’t oh
    hey hey uh Mr Bank of America Mrs Bank
    of of
    America here’s how it’s going to work
    I’m your customer and I want that fed
    funds rate at 5 a half to get this car
    loan do do you got that they’re going to
    say well sir M Mr Fain uh unfortunately
    that’s not your rate your rate is 7 and
    a half 8 and A2 9 and A2 10% that’s your
    rate take it or leave
    it you don’t get the FED funds rate I
    don’t get the FED funds rate we get the
    prime rate or higher that’s what we get
    right we get the prime r or higher so it
    says the the the FED funds rate which
    sets Banks uh what banks charge each
    other for overnight lending is in a
    targeted range between 5 and A4 and 5
    and a half the highest in some
    23
    years over 20 years guys the FED funds
    rate ain’t been that ain’t been that
    high the central bank has not hyped
    since July 23
    investors have had to adjust their view
    of when the FED will start easing as
    inflation has remained elevated The View
    as expressed through Futures Trading is
    that rate reductions will begin in
    September with the FED likely to cut
    just one or two times this year Futures
    pricing also shifted after the GDP
    release so all that means is you got
    these you got these people who predict
    what the stock market is going to do in
    the future and they call it the Futures
    right because the market don’t open till
    what I think 9:30 maybe 9:00 9:30 one of
    the two I don’t know when it open but
    when it if
    somebody if a report comes at 8:30 in
    the morning or if it comes in at you
    know after hours then people are
    predicting the next day what the market
    is going to do that’s what Futures is
    that’s all it is it’s a it’s a
    prediction of what the S&P 500 will look
    like the next day it’s a prediction of
    what the dowal will look like the next
    day it’s a prediction of what the nas de
    will look like it’s a prediction of what
    US Treasury rates will look like that’s
    all it is is a prediction but they use
    data like this to make that prediction
    so when this data came out early this
    morning they were like oh girl oh my God
    oh my God the the the future’s
    prediction for when the market opened
    was terrible
    but is that bad or is that an
    opportunity we’ll talk about an
    opportunity here in a second I keep
    telling y’all guys this is where people
    get rich people get rich when when when
    when there is
    chaos remember what your boy Warren
    Buffett said right be
    greedy when others are
    fearful this would be the
    fear the fear is coming right now is the
    fear see be greedy when others are
    fearful the fear is starting to come in
    people are starting to retreat from the
    market pull money out of the market
    stocks are going down ETFs are going
    down people are
    fearful that’s when it’s time for us to
    be
    greedy that’s where we got to have the
    war chest ready we got to have the
    mindset ready we got to have the
    financial house in order we got to have
    the execution the game plan ready to
    execute we got to know exactly what
    we’re buying we got to be laser focused
    if we want to get
    rich be greedy when others are
    fearful be fearful when others are
    greedy just saying just saying just a
    little bit of warm buffet for some of
    y’all out there that follow waren
    Buffett just a little warm Buffet this
    morning little warm
    Buffet little warm Buffet so here we go
    here here we go Futures pricing also
    shifted after the GDP release with
    Traders now pointing to just one cut in
    24 the economy will likely
    decelerate
    further in the following quarters as
    consumers are lightly near the end of
    their spending
    Splurge remember all those videos I did
    when I told y’all you
    I I of to remind you guys of this we had
    $2
    trillion in person savings 3 years ago 2
    trillion guess what they’re telling you
    now we’re coming to a zero that’s that’s
    about zero it’s about it’s about gone
    and that’s what they’re telling you
    they’re coming to the end of their
    spending
    cycle they’re spending
    Splurge so so here’s the thing you got
    three three three ways the common folk
    you and me not the 1centers cuz they got
    assets three ways the common folk like
    you and
    me buy things three ways right we got
    three ways one is what our personal
    savings personal savings is one the
    other way we buy things is through what
    our wages the money that we make from
    either our company or our our job and
    then the third way we spend money how we
    get money to spend is through borrowing
    money from Banks and L lenders and
    payday loan lenders and tote the title
    lenders and all these other people right
    those are the three ways we access money
    you do understand we’re down to
    one can’t borrow money no more cuz rat’s
    too high can’t borrow money no more
    banks are starting to tighten up their
    lending guidelines no longer can you
    walk in there and I’m not I’m not listen
    I’m not one of my folks sent me an email
    and and she she’s trying to figure out a
    way to make this thing work she said hey
    I got some money in the bank but I hey
    should I go out and borrow
    money and and take that money and do
    something with it and I said
    well what you going to do with it well
    I’m going to take it and you know I’m
    going invest it and do some other things
    what’s going to be your collateral oh I
    ain’t going to have no collateral I’m I
    got good credit I’m just going to go in
    there with the good credit in in in my
    income and I’m I want this six figure
    loan and I had to be honest with him and
    say honey I I mean you know listen good
    luck to you but I don’t know a bank in
    America that’s going to let you walk in
    there and get a sixf fig loan
    unsecured with no Investments with them
    no way for them to to feel com it’s not
    going to happen it’s not going to happen
    now if you trying to go in there and buy
    piece of real estate that’s different
    because they take the real estate as
    collateral but if you going in there and
    trying to get a sixf fig unsecured loan
    because you got get good credit that’s
    not happening that’s not going to happen
    definitely ain’t going to happen from
    none of the big boy Banks that’s that’s
    off the table you you I guarantee you
    ain’t going to walk into Bank of America
    and say Hey I want $150,000 loan and I
    got no collateral I got no money with
    y’all I got no
    collateral but I got good credit in a
    job that’s not going to happen some day
    that that’s gone they’ve tightening up
    that’s gone that’s gone that’s not going
    to happen so
    so you can borrow money cheap
    anymore so so for most people since it’s
    so expensive to borrow money they don’t
    borrow it they figure out other ways now
    you don’t have any personal savings a
    lot of us have have have blown through
    our personal savings that’s what this
    guy is saying here he’s saying the
    economy will likely decelerate even
    further following in the following
    quarters as consumers are likely near
    the end of their spending
    Splurge because they got no access to
    loans and they got no personal savings
    the only thing they got left is wages if
    something happens to the labor
    market it’s going to be disaster it’s
    going to be disaster if that labor
    market slows down that’s the only thing
    saving the consumer right now is the
    labor market in my opinion the only
    thing right so savings rates are falling
    as sticky inflation puts greater
    pressure on consumers
    exactly 2
    trillion almost to zero right now under
    100 billion from 2 trillion under 100
    billion and that’s what he’s telling you
    pressure why your goods and services
    went up 18% in four years but your wages
    went up 4%
    pressure
    pressure we should expect inflation will
    cause we should expect inflation will
    ease throughout this year as aggravated
    demand
    slows although the path to the fed’s 2%
    Target still looks a long ways off I’ve
    been telling y’all The New Normal is
    what 3% inflation is The New Normal I
    don’t believe we ever get back down to
    2% that’s my opinion could be dead wrong
    but I’m giving you my little two cents I
    don’t think we ever get back down to 2%
    and stay there unless something
    catastrophic happens right where where
    we throw ourselves in such a deep
    recession that it has to cuz ain’t
    nobody buying nothing that’s the only
    way it gets that’s the only way it gets
    under to 2% they’re going to throw us
    into a recession to get us there absent
    recession we don’t get
    there absent a a a a catastrophic event
    in our labor market we don’t get there
    so the FED got a decision to make do
    they throw us in a recession or do they
    just reset and say okay inflation The
    New Normal is 3% or they throw us into a
    recession that’s their choice they got
    to make a decision you throw us into a
    recession to get to the 2% or you just
    leave us at 3% start reducing rates and
    we just keep moving on that’s it you
    don’t get the 2% unless you throw us
    into a recession period that’s my
    opinion consumers generally have kept up
    with inflation since it began
    spiking though Rising inflation has
    eaten into pay increases keep telling
    y’all that I keep telling y’all this the
    personal savings rate decelerated in the
    first quarter to
    3.6% from 4% in the fourth quarter
    income adjusted for taxes inflation Rose
    1.1% for the period down from
    2% so your savings rate went down from
    4% to 3.6% your savings rate went down
    compared to your salaries right so they
    were saying in the fourth quarter when
    people from their salaries they were
    taking 4% and putting in savings from
    the
    salary first quarter this year it went
    down to 3.6 % saving from the salary so
    it’s going down and they’re saying
    income adjusted for taxes and inflation
    Rose
    1.1 for the period down from 2% spending
    patterns also shifted in the quarter
    spending on Goods declin
    0.4% in large part to a 1.2% slide in
    bigger ticket purchases for longlasting
    items classified as durable goods
    Services spending increased 4% it’s the
    highest level since the third quarter of
    2021 so here’s the thing people said you
    know something I ain’t going to get the
    big screen TV I ain’t going to get the
    new
    couch right I ain’t going to get the new
    wash and
    dryer but I’m going still go out to
    eat I’mma still go me a vacation though
    that’s what people are doing they said
    the hell with the big screen TV I don’t
    need a new wash and dryer I’mma hold off
    on the on on the new the new living room
    set but D be dog on if I’m going give up
    going out to eat that be dog on if I’m
    going give up my
    trip that’s basically what he say that’s
    listen man I’m just read what the man
    telling me what what the thing say right
    here giving you my P I’m telling you
    what it’s what it sound like to me
    people say look listen to it spending on
    Goods declined 0.4% in large part to a
    1.2% slide in bigger ticket purchases
    for longlasting items classified as
    durable
    goods TVs wash and dryers you know what
    I’m saying uh living room set bedroom
    set patio first all that stuff they was
    like you I can do without that but I
    cannot do without going out to eat and I
    got to get my
    trip but Services spending increase
    Services Services increase though
    4% a buoyant labor market has helped
    underpin the economy I keep telling
    y’all something happened to that labor
    market going to be a lot of financial
    blood indust streets man if something
    happens to this labor market because
    that’s the only thing survive it that’s
    the only thing holding this whole thing
    together the only thing holding this

    possible positive sign for the housing
    market a residential investment surged
    13.9 its largest increase in since
    fourth quarter of
    2020 so residential
    investment and I’ve been telling you
    guys that’s really the only thing I
    would be doing with residential is
    investment for income I wouldn’t be
    buying houses to just live in and it
    just take money out of my pocket the
    only way I buy real estate right now
    it’s an investment for income and that’s
    what you’re telling you that jumped says
    a positive sign for the house Market
    that residential investment surged
    13.9% I would say those are really smart
    people those are really smart people
    that understand even though prices are
    higher the price don’t matter because
    I’m going to go in and negotiate me a
    deal off of that sales price I’m going
    to get me 10 or 20% off of the sale
    price because why I got a war chess I

    I’ll give you 20% less than what you’re
    asking Bingo there you go I keep telling
    y’all guys it’s how you want to look at
    it you can look at it as a bad news or
    you can look at it as an opportunity to
    get rich this is where people get
    rich when there’s Financial blood in the
    streets let’s keep moving Thursday’s
    release was the first of three
    tabulations the Bea does for GDP first
    quarter readings can be subject to
    substantial revisions right whatever
    whatever whatever so here we go there we
    go that’s where we stand right now with
    the estate with the the state of the
    economy GDP numbers came
    out economy is
    shrinking the economy is officially
    shrinking but inflation is going
    up economy is shrinking but but
    inflation is going up so what do your
    big time investors do they start pulling
    their money out of the market put it in
    treasuries put it in money markets to
    wait out this thing so what do you see
    happen to the stock market it sells
    off it sells off what do you see happen
    to us treasuries they sell
    up stock market sells down US Treasury
    sell up why cuz that’s where the money’s
    going the money’s leaving the stock
    market and going to us treasur IES why
    should we do that Richard because we
    don’t have enough money to do that see
    these guys got billions of dollars over
    here that do that so they can afford
    they they don’t already made a lot of
    money right they they got billions of
    dollars so they can flow them in and
    flow them out at their Leisure you and I
    can’t do that cuz we haven’t built
    enough wealth yet see we’re in a
    building stage of wealth these people
    are already wealthy they can do that
    we’re not the same investors we’re much
    different than them right we we’re
    long-term guys they’re short-term
    guys but both of us can get rich both of
    us can get rich that’s the way I look at
    it we both can get rich right so so so
    here’s an opportunity that I’m going to
    share with you that I believe is an
    opportunity to get rich here it is
    here’s the
    headline meta stock plunges 15% as
    company plans to invest heavily in
    artificial

    an opportunity here guys this is a
    magnificent seven
    company meta is meta is valued as the
    seven most
    valuable company in the world meta is

    bit of hammering on the stock
    price this morning after clo after hours
    yesterday and this morning they’ve taken
    a hammer to the stock price but that’s
    an opportunity to get rich in my opinion

    int description box first link let’s
    keep moving one reason for the pop in
    net income let’s go back up here to the
    top let’s start at the top meta shares
    plunged more than 15% and extended
    trading on Wednesday after the company
    issued a light forecast which
    overshadowed better than expected first
    quarter
    results Revenue increased
    27% from 28.6 5 billion in the same
    period a year earlier the fastest rate
    of expansion for any quarter since
    2021 net income more than doubled to
    12.37 billion or
    $471 per share from
    5.71 billion or $2.20 a
    share just a mega company I mean a mega
    company right one reason for the pop in
    net income is is that while Revenue
    growth accelerated sales and marketing
    costs dropped 16% in the quarter from a
    year ago so not only are they killing it
    on the revenue the Topline Revenue
    they’re killing the Topline Revenue
    they’re also managing their expenses
    better which does what make that net
    profit go through the roof so they’re
    they’re increasing Revenue they are
    managing the expenses better which
    breathes what more net profit more net
    profit for people like you and I to
    participate in from a shareholder
    standpoint through what dividends and
    stock appreciation baby that’s how you
    get rich so I tell you man these Big Boy
    Blue Chip companies they don’t mess
    around meta is one of them it’s an
    opportunity it’s an opportunity to get
    rich put Meadow on the short list I’m
    not sure what we’re waiting on put them
    on the short list meta said it expects
    sales in the second quarter of 36.5
    billion to 39
    billion that’s another 10 billion jump
    guys from the first quarter you do
    understand that
    right wow so in the first
    quarter they did 28 billion that’s first
    quarter they’re expecting in the second
    quarter see and the reason I’m telling
    you guys this is a a lot of y’all are be
    be asking well why would you buy that
    why is this this is
    why I’m telling you exactly why it’s on
    the short list and why I buy
    them this is
    why listen up so first quarter they do
    28 billion in
    Revenue this is first
    quarter they also double net income you
    do know what net income is right that’s
    profit baby that’s profit baby if I’m a
    owner of meta guess what that’s profit
    to me too two ways dividends if they and
    I’m not sure meta pays dividends but
    dividends if they do if they don’t no
    big deal I’ll take it in the stock
    appreciation now some of y’all know more
    than I do I don’t know cuz I don’t worry
    about no little dividends from meta I
    don’t worry about no little dividends
    from the video I don’t worry about if
    any of them pay them I don’t care
    anything about them I just reinvest them
    if they’re pay cuz I do it through the
    S&P and I do it through individual stock
    so if they pay them great if they don’t
    I don’t care I’m in these fast growing
    companies for their stock appreciation
    not for their dividends so I could care
    less if they pay them don’t really care
    all I care about is the stock
    appreciation because that’s where I get
    rich I get rich in the stock
    appreciation not the
    dividends right I look for dividends
    when I get rich when I’m filthy rich and
    I got my pot of gold at the end of the
    rainbow and and I’m ready to take income
    from it then I go look for dividends
    well I’m in the building stage of wealth
    all I’m looking for is stock
    appreciation that’s it stock
    appreciation and here’s the deal you
    double your net income they went
    from they went to they did
    12.37
    billion in the in net income in the
    first
    quarter when you look at them last year
    year-over-year in the first 4 to 23 they
    did 5.71 billion they basically doubled
    their net income guys you don’t do that
    unless you are a fast growing company
    that people are paying attention to you
    don’t become the seventh most valuable
    company in the world unless you’re doing
    something right unless you’re
    multiplying money this is why you would
    invest in
    meta here’s what they for for next
    quarter second quarter they forecast for
    second
    quarter before I get the second quarter
    and then here’s a sign of a great
    company guys they increase Topline
    Revenue but they do not increase
    expenses matter of fact they decrease
    expenses that’s the sign of a
    winner that’s the sign of a
    winner that’s the sign of a winner they
    dropped 16 here it is one reason for the
    pot in net income while growth
    accelerated they did more
    growth sales and marketing costs dropped
    16% come on man some of y’all know what
    I’m talking about some of y’all are like
    what guys Topline revenue is
    increasing expenses are
    decreasing net profits double if I’m a
    shareholder I’m getting
    rich because I’m I’m I’m part of I’m
    part of meta I’m a shareholder I’m an
    owner I’m an owner I’m not just a user
    of Facebook oh goly looking for goofy
    little things on Facebook little funny
    funny videos oh look at that oh look at
    that uh alligator attack that deer ooh
    No I’m trying to get rich that’s why I’m
    buying Facebook that’s why I’m buying
    meta I don’t care anything about them
    videos they have on Facebook
    I don’t care about none of that stuff
    they have on Facebook other than can you
    increase Topline revenues can you
    decrease expenses can you double net
    profit that’s all I care about with meta
    and they’re doing it they are doing it
    here’s second quarter expectations meta
    said it expects sales in the second
    quarter to be 36.5 billion to
    39 the midpoint of the range
    37.75 billion would represent an 18%
    year-over-year
    growth and is below analyst average
    estimate of 38.3 billion the stock
    selloff accelerated early in the
    earnings call after CEO Mark Zuckerberg
    jumped into his discussion about
    Investments namely in areas like glasses
    and mixed reality where the company
    doesn’t currently make money see
    investors don’t like that they don’t
    like that they want you to stick to your
    core
    competencies Facebook don’t be trying to
    go out here and be some
    reality uh AI company you need to stick
    to what you do letting people put
    pictures on Facebook let them put the
    little videos on Facebook and and and
    and doing what sell an
    advertisement to these companies that
    want to get attention to your 2 billion
    subscribers or two billion whatever they
    call them Facebook people that’s what
    you need to stick to Facebook not trying
    to get out here and be some AI company
    and trying to do virtual reality and all
    this other crap that you ain’t going to
    do nothing but just spend money and lose
    money in because you don’t know what the
    hell you’re
    doing see even the biggest companies in
    the world guys they want to get outside
    of their skill
    set right I’m I’m I’m very good at
    playing in the NFL I’m a All Pro I’m
    making a bunch of money but guess what I
    want to go over here and do mixed
    martial arts
    too I want to go in here and wrestle in
    the WWE
    to see what I’m saying ain’t no
    different with these companies these
    meta is the biggest thing on the planet
    when it comes to social interaction
    between human beings biggest thing on
    the planet that ain’t good enough for
    them they want to also want to go out
    and be some they want to be
    apple they also want to be apple
    you know what I’m saying it’s just
    stupid and they paid the price for it in
    the stock price cuz the stock price
    tumbled when he came out there on that
    damn earnings call and started talking
    about all this AI stuff all this virtual
    reality stuff them investors killed him
    and the stocks tumbled by like $65 a
    share that’s what happens though you
    have a great earnings call where you
    killing it then you introduce some
    stupid stuff and then what happens till
    you stop it loses $670 a
    share but is that bad news or is that an
    opportunity for us I said it’s an
    opportunity because guess what I
    guarantee you he retracted all of that
    crap he said I guarantee you he does I
    guarantee you he retracts it so here’s
    the deal here’s the deal Zuckerberg
    jumped on discussion about Investments
    namely in areas like glasses and and
    mixed reality where the company doesn’t
    currently make any damn money why would
    you try to put something in money Jo
    make no money in this stick to your core
    competencies stick to advertising and
    letting people put goofy videos and
    things like that on Facebook and
    pictures and all that stuff let them do
    that stick to your core competencies
    stop trying to be a virtual reality
    company too stop trying to be apple stop
    trying to be all these other damn
    companies be you you’re killing it bro I
    I if I if I could talk to him Z look
    here Z come on man you kill me but
    that’s okay keep on saying stupid stuff
    so your stock price can go down to $300
    a share that’s going to just make me
    Rich Z so keep on keep doing it keep
    driving the stock price down to $300 a
    share great thank you appreciate you Z
    click that’s the conversation I’d have
    with it keep on driving down the price
    so I can keep buying it and get rich the
    company no longer reports daily active
    users and monthly active users it now
    gives a figure for what it calls family
    daily active
    people boy these guys man the number was
    3.24 billion for March a 7% increase
    from a year ago I try to tell y’all guys
    these guys are beast man you’re talking
    about
    3.24 billion people families I guess
    that’s what they call it now meta has
    raised investor expectations due to its
    Improv D financial performance in recent
    quarters leaving little room for error
    the stock is up about 40% this year
    after almost tripling last year I told
    y’all man in 22 you could buy these guys
    for under $100 a share in 22 you could
    have bought meta for under $100 a share
    they tripled last year up 40 this year
    crazy crazy crazy
    crazy in Fe February 2023 Zuckerberg
    told investors it would be the year of
    efficiency which initiated the
    rally at the time Zuckerberg said the
    company would be better at eliminating
    unnecessary projects and cracking down
    on bloat which he did but now he’s
    trying to reintroduce more
    bloat right more projects that they
    ain’t going to make no money on with
    this virtual reality crap they going to
    make no money they don’t know what
    they’re doing they know what they’re
    doing they’re not going to make any
    money so you you you know the you
    know the the the game plan you you know
    the plan that works for Facebook just
    stick to that nope not us we now want to
    bring in we want to be apple we want to
    be some virtual reality company we want
    to give people we want to get some some
    goggles like uh Apple just stupid man
    but hey keep doing it cuz that’s going
    to drive the stock price down and allow
    us to get rich so go right ahead go
    right ahead Zuck
    at the time Zuckerberg said the company
    would be better eliminating unnecessary
    projects cracking down on blo which help
    meta become a stronger and more Nimble
    organization bro you did that you
    tripled your stock price in 23 you did
    exactly what you but now you’re trying
    to go back to the old Zuckerberg trying
    to be everything and to all the world no
    bro you can’t do it you don’t got that
    skill set your company don’t got that
    skill set February of the this year that
    hiring will be relatively minimal
    compared to what we would have done
    historically head count declined by 10%
    in the first quarter I told yall these
    big companies are firing people cutting
    things
    off they’re doing that let let’s get
    down to the part where the stock price
    tumbled let’s see where let’s get to
    that part where the stock price
    tumbled cuz it did it took a major hit
    okay let me just go look up the stock
    prices like they going to tell me that
    let’s see what it’s doing right now
    because it lost like $70 a share
    overnight and this
    morning yeah yeah see they at $430 a
    share right now guys they are right now
    just today 133% on discount guys this is
    what I keep telling y’all this is the
    opportunity where you strike like a king
    cobra when you find a company that I
    just went through their first quarter
    earnings where they killed it I’m
    talking about killed it and what they
    project for the second quarter and
    you’re not putting this on a list to buy
    and they’re what
    $64 their stock price is down $64
    guys this wasn’t a company I just
    reported bad news from financials these
    these dudes killed it you’re talking
    about they doubl their net income from
    5.81 billion to almost 13 billion
    year-over-year double
    it they are trading at
    $429 a
    share this was a $500 a share stock guys
    basically a day ago what changed what
    changed it wasn’t their it wasn’t the
    earnings report cuz they killed it they
    killed the earnings report you know what
    changed Zuckerberg went on there and
    start talking about all this crap that
    they have no idea what they doing that’s
    what
    changed that’s what a CEO can do to your
    stock price he went on there and start
    talking about all this AI stuff and all
    this virtual reality and mixed virtual
    mixed reality all this goofy stuff that
    they have no idea what they’re doing
    number one and you’re going to pile a
    bunch of money into that and not make a
    DME like they’ve done in the past but
    when they right the ship started cutting
    out all the fluff all the crap and just
    focused on the the core
    competency they flourish they reduce
    expenses by 16% they they increase
    Topline Revenue they double net profit
    the stock price goes through the roof
    their their their value as a company
    goes up to the top seven they’re in top
    seven companies in the world from a
    market cap standpoint why because you’re
    stuck to your core companies now you’re
    trying to get out of your core companies
    and Chase down crap you don’t know
    nothing about
    and that’s when investors penalized him
    hit him over the head with a hammer uhuh
    you know how when you was in when you
    knew my now I’m old school I’m older
    than a lot of y’all but see when I was
    in school like Elementary School back in
    the day oh you act up in your classroom
    your teacher could just turn you right
    right and paddle you or she’ make you
    stick your hand out and hit you with a
    ruler that’s what they just did to
    Zuckerberg that’s what them investors
    just did to Zuckerberg last night uhuh
    Zuckerberg we’re gonna teach you a
    lesson uh-uh you going to stick to these
    core companies or we going to drive your
    stock price down and that’s what they
    did I get I guarantee you he woke up I
    guarantee you he woke up I guarantee you
    he woke up so here’s the deal guys
    There’s an opportunity for you you got a
    stock right there from the seventh
    largest market cap company in the world
    the stock price is down by $60 a 62
    almost $63 a share
    they just reported phenomenal first
    quarter numbers so you know
    operationally there’s nothing wrong with
    the company is what I’m telling you this
    stock price slap on the wrist is because
    Zuckerberg got online or got on the earn
    his call and start getting outside of
    himself he had an outof body experience
    I guarantee you he will find his body
    again and get back in his body and
    correct this but until he does you can
    get rich not your financial advice
    not trying to tell you what to do
    but come on man you
    can okay do whatever you feel like you
    need to do I just gave you one I just
    gave you one I just gave you all the all
    the the internals to make you feel
    comfortable because I gave you the
    internals I I gave you all the numbers
    what else do you
    want you got $60 you can capture and
    build your net worth
    guess what you can get down to that
    description box you can click on that
    moomo link you can get 10 free
    fractional shares of The Magnificent 7
    including meta and then you can stick
    some money in there and do what
    boom go buy you some more meta if you
    want to you got $60 worth of
    upside just like that $60 worth of
    upside just like that cuz it’s going
    back cuz there’s nothing fundamentally
    wrong with the company they just
    reported great
    earnings pretty much beat expectations
    on everything there’s a couple things
    they didn’t beat expectations on but
    it’s not my job to sit here and go
    through the earnings report with you I’m
    just giving you what they did see I
    don’t care about all that what I care
    about is Topline Revenue dig you manage
    your expenses how much is the net profit
    because that’s all I care about because
    I get part of that net profit because
    I’m a shareholder all the rest of that
    other stuff people be talking about I
    don’t care anything about that all I
    care about is did you increase net
    profit I’m sorry did you increase
    Topline Revenue did you decrease
    expenses did you make more net profit
    and everything I just read just said
    they did all of that over year over year
    they beat all of that that’s all I care
    about that’s all I care about that’s all
    I care about so hey man do what you got
    to do um I believe there’s an
    opportunity to to to make some money in
    this situation we’re getting ready to
    find ourselves in this won’t be the only
    company you got other companies coming
    out this week in the Magnificent 7 with
    their earnings Tesla is another company
    just now they ain’t meta they they
    didn’t have the numbers meta had but I
    think it’s still an opportunity you
    already know how I feel about
    Nvidia
    now you know how I feel
    about
    meta but I think if the economy
    continues to
    decelerate right if it continues to
    contract
    shrink inflation continues to go up
    the FED will be forced to do what they
    got to act one way or the other they got
    to act right now they’ll keep rates
    higher for longer so what that means is
    in the current environment we’re in
    right now we’ll see some other companies
    sell off in the stock
    market Magnificent Seven companies right
    you’ll see some more companies sell
    off that’s just an opportunity for you
    to pick these companies up at a deep
    discount you can pick meta up today at a
    at a relatively decent little
    discount what are you talking about here
    more than a 10% discount guys you’re
    talking about like a 13 14% discount you
    trying to tell me that’s not significant
    you mean to tell me on
    Monday and now it’s Thursday meta has
    went down by
    14% its stock price and you don’t
    believe that’s an opportunity to build
    wealth I don’t know what you’re looking
    at I don’t know I don’t know I don’t
    know what you’re hanging your hat
    on I I I I I don’t know I I mean I don’t
    know I I I think that’s an opportunity
    to build well let’s take a look at let’s
    take a look at what crypto is doing real
    quick and then we get gonna get out of
    here let’s see what Bitcoin is doing
    right now I just want to take a quick
    peek at
    Bitcoin let me see what Bitcoin is
    doing Bitcoin so Bitcoin is still
    64,0 $114 a share slightly down today
    but nothing catastrophic so no
    catastrophic stuff yet on on bitcoin
    we’ll have to watch Bitcoin I I did read
    an article that talked about some of
    these spot ETF Bitcoin ETFs and that a
    lot of them are starting to see
    outflows they’re starting to see
    outflows instead of they’re starting to
    see more outflows than inflows so that
    could be just the people taking profits
    right I don’t know I’m not a Bitcoin guy
    but i’ watch that because you know I
    believe it’s a pump and dump so you got
    to watch it if you’re heavy in the
    Bitcoin right now listen man it wouldn’t
    be an it wouldn’t be a bad time to
    probably take some profits because I’m
    telling you as this economy if it does
    I’m not saying it will but if this
    economy continues to
    shrink like being predicted it’s being
    predicted the second quarter is going to
    shrink too it’s being predicted so as
    the economy shrinks
    if inflation continues to slightly go
    up If the Fed is forced to increase
    interest
    rates Bitcoin gonna lose you do know
    that right it’s not looking good so any
    of you Bitcoin guys who done made a
    bunch of money don’t get greedy guys
    don’t get greedy please don’t get greedy
    please don’t get greedy please take your
    profits and get out of there please
    don’t get greedy that’s all I got to say
    on bitcoin well appreciate you guys do
    me a big favor before you get out of
    here number one hit the hit the Thumbs
    Up Button hit the like button for me
    we’re going to wrap this thing up thank

    always going to give you Solutions
    that’s one thing about me I’m never
    going to get on this here and and and
    give you the news and not give you
    Solutions how to capitalize on it as I
    told you look at it as bad news look at
    it as opportunity I’m an opportunity guy
    I see a company like meta for no
    apparent reason they they never should
    have went down no dang on $60 $70 a
    share there was no reason for it they
    they didn’t miss anything they killed it
    but when your CEO comes out there and
    our Laing the fool and talking about
    stuff you ain’t got no expertise in

    the head with a hammer now for people

    1. New subscribers here,someday hopefully by the end of this year i will be able to pay off my credit card debt. I would love to know how to invest,hopefully it’s not too late for me.

    2. The Nikkei 225 (Japan Exchange) experienced a significant drop from its peak of 39K in January 1990, falling below 10K twice. It remained below 21K between 1996 and 2018, but eventually reached its previous high in March 2024. This spanned a period of 34 years. There are concerns that the Nikkei may decline again. In the 1990s, Japan acquired various assets in the U.S.. Just recently, in 2024, a Japanese company acquired U.S. Steel. This raises questions about whether history is repeating itself.

    3. $God on sol is set to come out on May 1st πŸ₯‡ it will skyrocket with the news and tax rates will slightly come down to booste the economy πŸŽ‰ trust the process it will 100x

    4. The inflation has lost it and the sad fact is, It's pretty obvious we are headed for hyperinflation. I think stores better have tight security because when people can't afford to feed their families, things might get ugly.I appreciate Sharon Fogg alots, you’ve helped my family with your advice! Imagine investing $2,500 and receiving $11,300 in 3days πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

    5. I’m working on getting my cash up and waiting for a bigger drop to buy in to AMZN, MSFT, META, and NVDA I think they all could reach a 30% loss in the next few months
