Volatile markets have a funny way of making every new investment idea sound like the genius idea.

After decades in the investment business, Andy has developed his own method for dealing with that temptation. 😂

Sometimes the best investment strategy is simply not getting too cute with your money.

Debt and leverage can make an already difficult market a whole lot harder.

In this week’s Weekly Report with Andy, he talks about leverage, margin, and why managing risk matters just as much as finding opportunities.

This week Andy discusses the Efficient Market Hypothesis (EMH), the idea that most publicly available information is already reflected in stock prices.

We also explore why successful investing isn't about avoiding risk—it's about managing it.

As Benjamin Graham famously said:

"Successful investing is about managing risk, not avoiding it."

Finally, we take a look at IPOs and why history shows that roughly 80% struggle after their initial excitement fades.

Whether you're navigating market headlines, evaluating hot IPOs, or simply trying to become a better long-term investor, this update is packed with timeless investing principles that matter far more than predictions.

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.

Watch this week’s breakdown below 👇

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.
