Michael: I see and respect your Audio Technica headphones. 🎧

1970’s inflation was driven by the Baby Boomers coming of age, starting families, buying homes, baby cribs, cars, etc. Demand exceeded supply.

The Fed are gaslighting political 🤡

Zipper merging is faster for everyone. If you don't use all the lanes you are part of the problem. Colorado even has billboards trying to get people to do it correctly to speed everyone up.

All the entrepreneurial French leave.

Can’t wait until Michael starts watching Landman

I have a pension from a private company. $74K but no COLA unfortunately. Didn’t have to pay into it. Maxed out a self funded 401K which is just over 7 figures. SSI was maxed at FRA. People need to plan.

The stock market is certainly gaining momentum right now, but I believe investors should approach with caution. As a beginner in this space, I’m open to hearing insights and perspectives from other investors.

I think BTC are more likely to start up investment now. But as always, things change day by day and all we can do is act responsibly, monitor the markets and reassess our strategies frequently. I would like to thank Aaron Joel for being my source of crypto education as I comfortably earned 12.7 BTC. So now I'm ready for Christmas. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year in advance.💫💯✨🥰🤩

Best investing podcast. Happy New Year!

Love how they talk about the win at all costs - including illegal trading methods. But let's look the other way so you can kiss his ass.

Black n tan 10X cooler than just Guinness

Just bought my son a 2004 Lexus RX330 with 214k miles. He drives it "very carefully" in Georgia. No worries about snow!

Scaramuchi is a hack. He is not honest, his TDS is all he's about. Don't forget he got fooled by Sam Bankman. total fool

I appreciate the simplicity of this podcast for us trying to learn these complex financial terms

Radar detector!! 🤦🏾‍♂️

The Wrigley Building was the last major Chicago building with elevator operators.

Ben wants to nix the 'bingo card' reference, but has called an 'airpocket' twice in 5 minutes.

I don't think people understand Bitcoins security. It's kind of like why people keep buying apple because of the security.

Anyone else looking into Guiness stock? Or is this new trend already baked into the price?

As a 23 year old Irish American from Boston, the Guinness segment was worlds colliding. The Dubliner pours a hell of a pint!

52:00 hash tag markus aurelius cracked me up

I heard Michael Sailor speak a few times and thought he seemed intelligent. I purchased 10 shares in 2022; the internet now says Ponzi, scam artist, etc... I sold my initial investment. Why would I listen to nameless people on the internet? Maybe he's right, perhaps he's wrong, but isn't the point of investing to place your money in places that are outside normal realms of thinking to get outsized returns.

holdovers so overrated

no good deed looks terrible

I wish Michael would let Tom speak and stop interrupting him.

Bruce Willis, lol... about Ben's tweet I think what's changed is the consistently high ROIC of most of the mag 7 is justifying their P/E and a sea of low ROIC companies in comparison has no draw, even if P/E is low. Who has quantified what the right P/E is based on ROIC? Nobody, so people just go with growth

"Rising Sun" (1993 release) too

Thank you for featuring Sophie Kathryn Jones in one of your videos. I took your advice and contacted her for investment and budgeting opportunities. The results have been incredible. Started with slightly less than $40k, and now I’ve paid off my $529k loan in 6 months. Now totally debt free with 2 paid off rentals, having no debt for the last 12 months. Thank you Sophie Kathryn Jones!

lady i work with plays bingo every week

thank you for releasing this during the holidays!!!

I have no time for people who are constantly and for years publicly fighting bull markets. They are hurting peoples finances by scaring them out of the markets.

47:40 this requires much more verification. There are a lot of statistical tricks you can do to make the numbers look great. E.g. when Tesla claimed autopilot was safer than human drivers, they compared highway driving in optimal conditions vs all driving for humans. So if autopilot didn't know what to do, asked human to take over and this caused a crash, that would be counted as autopilot crash since human took over. Given that driving highway is in general easier than in the city, no wonder it appeared safer.

You could tell listeners that ycharts is around $300/month. Seems reasonable but then again. I'm not saying the charts aren't great or the company isn't fantastic. I guess I'm being a Grinch love to have a subscription, just a bit pricy for me.

26:10 brokerages will never put limitations in front of customers on their own and regulation won't come until a lot of people demand it. There is already a Pattern Day Trader rule, and WSB guys hate it.

Merging is supposed to be done at the end of the lane, those doing it earlier are the ones screwing it up for everyone...

Hey Now!!! Great Sal reference…”traction”😅

Wait, what? No Chinese auto-maker in 10 years?

The way i see it, The danger of direct indexing is you have no idea if or when those big companies will drop. I remember in 2018 when Apple became the first 1 trillion dollar company. I also remeber thinking well thats crazy but they're so big now they'll never hit 2 trillion dollars. Welp... As of this writing, Apple is 6 dollar per share price apppreciation away from being a 4 trillion dollar market cap. Thats why i think that write in questions logic is flawed.

Sunnyvale CA in the heart of Silicon Valley is the poster child for 2-3 m dollar 1200 sqft decrepit shacks.

Happy new year boys

Samuel Smith oatmeal stout is a UK good beer

Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah guys, thanks for a fun year

Biggest lesson of 2024 is stop taking advice from KZbin analysts who are bearish

Does the apple door camera unlock your house if someone holds a picture of you up to the camera?

Instead of bingo references, how about parchessi? 😂

No one saw that in their horoscope?

Was thinking of putting some of my money in another index today - FTSE100 or maybe HSI but now i'm convinced, VOO all the way.

Great recommendations segment!! Completely agree with Ben on "Underneath the Tree" getting the classic treatment. (Still a slow burn overall, but definitely in my personal Xmas classics list). And yes, ban the "not on my bingo card" remark from 2025 onward. It's been overdone. And there will be an endless supply of bs that we didn't have "on bingo card" starting next year.
