Trading success isn’t just about technical analysis skills. It’s also about discipline and emotional maturity. Remember, it’s not about being in the market at the right time, but rather about being in the market for the right time. Thanks to Sophia Haney’s wisdom, daily trade signals, and my commitment to learning, I’ve been seeing steady increases in my daily earnings. Keep up the great work!

[@WaltRsDave-cs4zc]

I hope this inspires someone to start investing today, regardless of age. I wasn’t financially free until my 40s, but I’m still in my 40s with a third property, passive income, and four of my five goals. Investing in the financial market was a wise choice. Thanks for sharing this incredibly inspiring video!

[@brickPalmerm-ki5er]

Diversify your income streams to boost your earnings. This year, I’ve successfully done this by investing while I work. I invested through Sophia Haney, the CNBC anchor who often mentioned her. She invested my startup capital in less than three months after getting certified.

[@JudithRadonlds]

I have been quite cautious to get involved in this specific industry, but I believe that this is the perfect time to do so. I went to a seminar where the speaker discussed how lnvesting in cryptocurrencies may result in gains in the near future of well over $4.5 million. I have to know which coin to buy with.

[@VictoriaRowe-u9l]

I invested across major markets and follow Sophia’s rules, a great financial advisor. My portfolio has grown by 20-30% monthly while my IRA stagnates. Her exceptional diversification skills have not limited my portfolio to my choices; they reflect her placements. She provided me with financial independence.

[@Martychristopherellis-y9v]

That’s great! Your investment advisor must be excellent. I’ve read about people who improved their financial stability with investment advisors. Can you tell me who your broker is? I have $500,000 set aside for the stock market to boost my income.

[@christopherdmytruk]

If people have hundreds of thousands or even millions to spend on sports cards, then they can afford the loss

Chris from Baseball Card Collector Investor Dealer did a similar video last week. We recorded this video before his came out, so there was no intention to copy, and thankfully our lists are quite different. But we wanted to give him a shout out for a great video.

When folks buy into the over hyped rookies, they're NOT "investors" they're reckless speculators.

[@videosolutions1683]

I lost money on Ridder as well. You are not alone

[@JohnZBaeZ]

I find it odd that alot of card sellers base it off of internet specific card item sold. When some cards, there's been only 23 transactions that lead to near card price collapse. And almost everyone looks and depends on that data. 23 transactions! Can be so manipulated. It takes a good handful of friends to sells the cards to each other to make a certain players card crash. And everyone accepts the price at the end. It's a fool's system that caters to the box suppliers

[@KipArmadillo]

"Let's see Justin Herbert's card . . ." - Patrick Bateman But, seriously - five years into his career, zero playoff wins. How far will his million+ dollar cards fall?

The main issue with the "hobby" is people like yourself hyping cards up. Anytime a card 5x its value in a month.....run

[@metsrus]

well Geoff is in the business of selling cards.

I’m very clear in my Top 5 video that hot cards often turn cold and it’s normally not the right time to buy when someone is on the Top 5 list already.

[@benefactr1840]

You buy cardboard and get what you get. I just don't understand why someone would by 6 digits on a new release card.

[@ryangastley3885]

Id like to see a video of just the opposite….like, 2018 sales of Ohtani cards compared to recent sales. Josh Allen, SGA, etc..

[@dganlc]

Your advice has given me the worse investments…..soccer cards! Invested about $20k and now has a value of $80

[@ryangastley3885]

ALWAYS take advice with a grain of salt. Every time they speculate or give “advice”, they forewarn to do your own research before investing.

[@brandonbrooks898]

@dganlc that's on you my man. It sucks but your the one who decided to take that risk. But I'm sure you already knew that your just frustrated as is understandable.

Good to show the cautionary tales....people need to be careful

[@matthewessmann2429]

I find this video hilarious and ironic at the same time. Here’s a video of a dude discussing how investors lost money on stuff he was pushing as an influencer and investor. So basically let me make a video about how much crappy advice I gave. Hilarious. Look how much everyone lost on stuff I pushed and influences people to buy.

[@JimBrave-ri1oc]

Since 21... Only David Robinson, Mahomes, Pippen, Jordan, Emmitt, Have Gone up in Value. That's the only ones.

[@xumuskiefan12]

All cards sold in the first half, if not all, of 2021 should be thrown out. The market was ridiculously out of control. I'm guessing if you looked at values without 2021 most trend lines wouldn't be so drastic.

[@clauspage]

Great Vlog

[@leestewart5424]

2010 the Stephen Strasburg card was supposed to be worth 1 million the pandemic adjusted the market drastically Thanks for the videos

[@johndepoley3724]

With the ridiculous prices of these cards I think there's a lot of money laundering going on. Or maybe a lot of drug money laundering. Even on these auction sites there's probably a lot of money laundering going on also.

[@JohnnyLightningV10]

Desmond Ridder and havent even started the video 😂

[@jasonward3295]

If you got into this in 2020, then chances are you lost pretty much across the board. If you got back into in 2015 like I did, you made out. Even if I held on to some that I should've sold, still not out anything. Also, like you said, vintage is subjective like an art piece. You may have 2 PSA 8's, one has better color, other has better centering, etc.. You pay for what you want to see visually. Just out of curiosity, why did you show the sale from 23, it looks like it's back over 1M now?

[@SportsCardInvestor]

Just showing the high and low points. It has moved up a bit recently.

[@RydenStone-s8w]

I’m so sorry it doesn’t go down here for me because I notarized it when the price is high notarize it get the state stamps register it from the registration. Get the proper insurance coverage. Pay state commission and have bank carriers help you help us.

[@MIkeNguyen-r7l]

At least Jeff would be able to write off his losses in the divorce 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@ryanbarre2390]

Like stock, it is only a loss when you sell it. If hold card and goes up to what you bought for, we'll you did not make money from it's low point.

I also wouldnt say Trey Lance is far from over being 24 and age of rookies now. The dude look decent in his only start and much improved. Drew Lock look good towards end of the year with the worst line in NFL.

[@User8vfjhejf]

A lot of people have lost their shirt investing in Zion Williams cards, I paid $550 for my Prizm rookie, can't give it away now, a complete bust, total waste of potential cause he can't stop eating and is made of glass

[@JimBrave-ri1oc]

Davis Rookies you can't give away either. Nothing to do with Eating. Barkley would eat Way More yet His Rookies Keep Flying up in value now at around 20K. Zion's career and value on his cards were ruined when Silver rigged the Draft for the Pelicans. The Pelicans RUIN Card Value. They also RUIN Careers. Had Zion been Drafted by Dallas he would play 80 games a season would have 6 All NBA First Teams and Would have a Championship. Also would average 27 and 14 with 7 assists.

[@brockman562]

Why would anyone trade with Rothcards? and why 'speculate' on a player that's NEVER seen the field or is 'proven'?

[@travisnelms6120]

Dude if you buy anyone's donruss base card for more than 20$ that's on you

[@Blessedbats]

The fact ppl buy Desmond Ridder cards as an investment is just silly business. The only way you’ll make money on prospecting a player from a major sport is if they end up a top 10-15 player of all time in their sport by the time they’re career is over. you get a handful of opportunities every couple decades and that’s pushing it. Look at the 70/80’s in MLB that’s two decades where nobody new cracks the top 15 or even 20. Players like Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens get caught doing steroids so take them out. Then take basically all of the 90s out cause of overprinting and that’s why vintage is obviously worth the most to this day. First off there all hall of famers and their cards are exceedingly rare and not overprinted. If you buy 1/1’s that’s a different story obviously but they still need to be one of the very best players to ever play the sport. Even players like Bryce harper or Manny Machado etc might not end up with 3,000 hits or 500 HR’s, some of the very best players we watch on a nightly basis simply might not end up being top 15 players when it’s all said and done. If you could routinely predict that sort of thing you would be the most highly sot after scout the world has ever heard of, but that’s why ppl think Desmond Ridder is capable of leading a franchise to glory. If that was a real life decision you would’ve been fired and never work in the industry again for such an oversight, you’re not him, none of us are. Juan Soto might be one of the ones that could crack the list and you just never know he could end up hurt or falling out of love with the game, acquire a drug habit etc and now he’s out of the league with less the a 1000 RBi’s and the card is worth less.

[@altonT]

I use the 5 year rule. He may be hot, then not. Or 'who's he' to superstar. One or two years is not enough time to tell. If you spend a million dollars on a card, it's a piece of paper with a picture on it and can be destroyed by a small amount of water. More money than common sense.

[@santaclause3487]

Nobody paid 3k for a Mac Jones base psa 10 lol

[@AFireInside91]

[@tommyher81]

😆 🤣 😂 you didn't tell people how much the seller came up. The 2.8M Brady guy probably didn't care since it's a PC card. True collectors collect because it's part of their PC. The guy who hold it for that long deserved the sell. The buyer will get his worth if he holds it for longer. It's like getting a Babe Ruth RC. The value will always be there if you hold it. If you plan to flip it in 2 to 5 years good luck. Take the lost and move on.
