I’m 26, $600K net worth. Been saving 50% of my salary and investing heavily. Money is a liability, not an asset. You have to exchange it for assets that represent real VALUE. Real estate - properties for rent. Stocks (dividends). Bonds (interest), funds, REITs (interest), intellectual property. Started from $0 since 3.5 years ago when I graduated college. I've come to realize that money is a tool if you don’t make money work for you, you can’t experience true freedom

[@ArchieLatham502]

I am little late in planning my financial journey, spent on many appreciable assets till now and keeping my saved earnings in banks. This inspired me a lot and gives a great zeal to start a fresh

[@Edgardo477]

Can't give financial advice. will recommend you speak with an FA, Martha Cornell Kerns, credit to her constant advice and guidance. Lots of People are sitting on large stockpiles of cash ready to time the market they’ll miss the mark and pile in late either way people that bought early will win

Outstanding advice. You won't have an exceptional life if you don't do exceptional things

This is a great channel Saw Chris on farzad and have been catching up with their recent talks ever since

[@iamcish]

The next video needs to be on risk management - you can’t have an episode like this and not discuss risk management. A discussion of your mistakes (which led to your drawdowns) would be beneficial

[@lewismatthews4247]

Agree. I had asked them to talk about Sell strategies, not just throw out names they are investing in and almost no follow up discussions on those names. I have since stopped watching and only check back once in awhile.

[@gordo3582]

They did do a whole episode about their mistakes once, Chris said he wanted to do more episodes like that. I loved that one. I do believe they are too cavalier about leverage, I don't think Jordan invests that way at all but he didn't speak up in this episode about it, and I don't think Dave really invests that way either except for the 3x fund he mentioned.

[@mangao4334]

[@lorenedwardwheeler]

Hey guys, would be super helpful if you could do another episode about options trading and all the strategies and risks involved. Including how to time them and know the environment of the trade etc. as a way of going deeper into this idea of growing wealth. Thank you!

[@gordo3582]

I disagree, no need to encourage gambling degens. Chris has dropped enough hints about how he uses options (he buys slightly in the money calls when earnings are approaching on a company that he thinks will blow away earnings and is not fully on Wall Street's radar yet, he doesn't put more than 5% of his portfolio into any options trades).

[@lorenedwardwheeler]

nothing wrong with a little education, agree degen behavior isn't to be encouraged but if he's promoting an options-based investment path that's worked for him i think it would be helpful to continue giving specific guides, so people need learn fewer mistakes on their own. also agree with the general strategy you mentioned, i'm a long time listener so am familiar. mostly said this so others could benefit. personally, id like to hear more from Dave (and jordan) on this topic, the medium- and low-risk of the bunch@@gordo3582

[@buyteslastonk]

I've been going in hard, buying Tesla for 5 years straight with this thinking. Each paycheck is like a whole quarter's value of work or more in the future. A years salary will turn into 10-20 years of that same salary. Every thousand I put up, I told myself mentally I just locked in 10k at least.

Very smart!

[@jamesmoran2326]

Great topic on the pod guys. I’m an uber frugal person and put 2-3K in the market every month. I don’t take much risk and basically just buy dividend stocks and large caps with all the extra money saved from not spending money. So far this strategy hasn’t worked out to well but I’ve only been in the market for 5 years now. Currently I’m building a decent equity position in BABA. I’ve got roughly 3K shares at around $80 cost basis. Long term hold on this position

[@anagonzalez8300]

Munger biggest mistake was alibaba 😮 do not risk your money on Chinese stocks, you can make so much money with American 🇺🇸 companies. Good luck 👍🏼

[@jamesmoran2326]

⁠@@anagonzalez8300Mungers cost basis in BABA was a lot higher than $80. I’m well aware of the risks in Chinese stocks, especially the tech sector. I believe BABA has bottomed or will bottom at around the $60-$65 level. I’m willing to bet they will be in the mix of the China AI tech story and a continued winner in technology. Blood is in the streets right now with the Chinese economy and their bear market/recession. I grabbed another 500 shares @$67 on Fri 👍

If you aren’t going to study hard and be a trader simply invest in the nasdaq and kick back as an investor. You will receive a dividend that can be reinvested. I have bought and held hundreds of stocks and you will be hard pressed to beat the nasdaq long term trying to pick stocks.

Just watching this now.. I have been doing some leaps in my account, but now watching this I think I am still being too conservative. I might make life changing money if the leaps go perfectly well, but a more aggressive approach will give me a higher chance of getting there even with some failures

[@martynlockhart4386]

Guys, just brought up a chart of the S&P 500 since 1st jan 2022 and UPRO. S&P is flat whilst UPRO is down from 78 to 52. My understanding is the leverage costs money and is the cause of the decay? Please urgently advise if I am missing something as this is very misleading?

[@ethanhenkel]

What chart did you find that showed the S&P as flat for 2022??

Love Chris, but i cant do what he does. He's good at it. I'd give him my money to invest, or even copy him, but he doesn't tell you when he goes out... Sometimes he shows u going in. I respect him (and the gang), but his intuition is next level.

When you say leverage do you mean invest from borrowed money like line of credit? I don’t know much about options can you explain how they work? I will look into your video history. Btw I am subscribed Happy new year

[@Perrymoneybaby]

Do you guys take profits from your big money accounts? Like take 30% out and move it to a safe account after a big win.

[@azulsimmons1040]

Dave's strategy is interesting. Hmm. I am already liking this episode. This is more interesting than usual. Did Jordan use risk capital? I have never been quite sure how you made money. Sometimes it sounds like you made some highly leveraged bets on some stocks, they worked out and you have a bunch of money. But sometimes it sounds like Dave and Jordan started a company of some kind and sold it for big money, then built up capital from there. So it's hard to figure out exactly how this worked. Most people that claim they made the majority of their money investing seem to have actually made money doing something else like selling a business then started investing and hit some big money growth.

[@gordo3582]

Agree, its never been fully explained. Those guys did build "TickerTags" and sold the company so clearly some of the investment capital came from that. And Chris' trading was audited and dcoumented in "Unknown Market Wizards" by Jack Schwagger so we have a good idea of how he multiplied his wealth. I think Dave and Jordan were doing many of the same investments as Chris, like Apple from the early days but I have no idea if it was the company sale that got them the original stake to multiply or how well they have done compared to Chris.

[@azulsimmons1040]

@@gordo3582 I imagine it be like so many other investors where when you have smaller amount, it's easier to multiply. Buffett likely had some early years where he was multiplying his wealth by a huge amount as he was rising up, then the returns slow down as you reach a large enough amount of wealth it becomes difficult to multiply. Almost every investor builds up capital at some point, multiplies it by hitting big very early on, then slows as the wealth grows and they become more risk averse as once you hit it big, you don't want to go back to the poor house being stupid. Though Chris sounds a lot more willing to take on risk than Dave or Jordan.

[@nastynate4481]

a 90% drawdown would psychologically beat most people leaving them with no option but to win the money back slowly over a decade or longer rather than risk what little they have left and recover quickly.

If you leverage big long the market, you don’t really need to be lucky just have to not get unlucky

[@randyg8929]

Love the ideas. What about an abundance mentality the way through, generate income. You can build companies now with nothing. Get a cash flower going and that flywheel builds your TSLA or other high conviction longterm multi bagger.

[@satoshigerbil8789]

Can you guys make a video on options explaining them and what different types there are. I've been out of the game for a while and need a refresher xoxo

[@gordo3582]

There are endless videos about options, I say they should stick to social arb ideas and personal stories about success and failures. Options are more for gambling degenerates.

[@anujanshankaran8577]

Chris question for you : Lets say you have $100 for example what percentage would you use for trading and what would you do with the rest.
