Why did Willie Sutton rob banks?

“Because that’s where the money is.”

This week’s market video discusses one of the most overlooked investing risks: opportunity cost.

If Apple outperformed Disney 3x over 20 years… why continue owning the laggard?

We also discuss how avoiding AI and tech leadership in early 2024 caused many investors to significantly underperform.

Cost of attending college has increased over 150% in the last few decades. 📚

Starter home prices have sky rocketed from $100,000 to $1,000,000 all over the country. 🏡

Kids cost more than $250k to take care of from birth to 18 years old (assuming they leave!). 👧🏼

And dare I even mention it…but our beloved margarita beverage has increased 3.5% in price over just one year. WTAF. 🍹

There are more millionaires & billionaires than ever…but at the same time wages have barely increased & debts/taxes are taking away significant amounts of people’s income. 🏦

The wealth gap doesn’t sleep and you better learn some finance jiu jitsu, because no one is coming to save us. Avoid as much crooked debt (credit cards, expensive auto/boat loans, payday loans, reverse mortgages) as possible and invest what you don’t spend. Investing and putting your nest egg to work is more important now than ever. 🥊 🦊 💰

If you found my page, you want to fight the good fight for financial freedom…you are at the right place. Follow me, message me, yell at me…but let’s overcome money/investing anxiety for our future.

"My philosophy is that all stocks are bad. There are no good stocks unless they go up in price. If they go down instead, you have to cut your losses fast. Letting losses run is the most serious mistake made by most investors."- William O'Neil of Investors Business Daily

The investing world lost a cultural icon this week at age 99, Charlie Munger, the vice-chairman with the incredible dry wit and worldly wisdom of Berkshire Hathaway. He may not have had the same well known name as CEO Warren Buffett, but Warren makes it known that without Charlie by his side the Berkshire Hathaway kingdom would not be what it is today without Charlie's inspiration, wisdom & participation.
Our firm remains loyal followers of many of Charlie Munger's hard & fast investing philosophies. In today's Techno/Fundamental report we find the silver lining in the lowering of interest rates and the positive ripple effects for the banks and smaller corporations. Oil continues to be in a downtrend, but the number of stocks hitting new lows is drying up and volatility is much lower as we head in Christmas season. If you have any questions, please feel free to message us.

A few handy-dandy investing rules I’ve used since the early days and will never not use:

1. Don’t be overly guided by the news. Haven’t you noticed their ratings go up the more they scare you?

2. Do not take stock tips at cocktail parties.

3. Whenever someone tells you how much they’re “up” on something, ask to see their unrealized/realized gains/losses for perspective. A true champion won’t be afraid to show you the good and bad.

4. Never make big buy or sell decisions 30 minutes into the market open or market close.

5. Wait for the market to pull you in and guide you. Quit trying to predict what will happen based on “your” unique experience and financial history.

6. It’s better to admit a mistake and take a small loss and move on. Do not sit and wait for anything that is down 30% or more to come back, you’re missing other great opportunities. Time is your greatest enemy.

Joe Kennedy, father of President John F. Kennedy used to say "When the going gets tough, the tough get going" aka when there are problems, strong people work hard to solve them. Human behavior is an important factor when it comes to investing with the two strongest emotions being fear and greed. We have been in "fear" for an extended amount of time. Everyone is disgusted with the stock market, economy and political noise. However, you cannot get lose in the weeds. Stick to your strategy and if you happen to be a stock portfolio owner, use stop-loss rules and don't allow your losses to overtake you. There will be future rallies, so it's important not to become too pessimistic or else you may miss the wave. Remain cautious until then.
