Did you know that half of the US millennial
millionaires (44 percent) live in a single
[7]
state - California? The question that you
probably have in mind is - do they move to
[12]
California after becoming millionaires or
before?
[16]
But when you look at what's happening, the
answer is clear. Silicon Valley is the center
[21]
of innovation and startups, so it's not surprising
that young talented people move to California
[27]
to compete for the most lucrative jobs in
tech. Software engineers easily make a few
[32]
hundred thousand dollars here. But that's
not what makes them millionaires. Most companies
[37]
use stock options to pay employees.
If you are a talented employee and you work
[42]
for Google, for example. They don't want to
lose you! At the core of innovation and progress
[47]
is the human mind. So the best way to keep
you working for them is to simply pay you
[52]
with stock option. You will receive a certain
amount of stocks if you work for the company
[57]
for 3,5 or 10 years.
A year passes or 2, and you want to change
[62]
your job and work for Zuck because he changed
the name of the company to Meta. You can't!
[68]
Because if you leave, your options are going
to expire, you have to stay till the end of
[73]
your contract to use that option.
That's primarily what makes them millionaires.
[78]
In fact, when companies pay their employees
with stocks, they are tax-deductible, so everyone
[83]
benefits. The company creates these stocks
out of thin air. They are tax-deductible,
[87]
and they are worth a lot of money which makes
these talented people millionaires.
[93]
It's a win-win situation.
But it's not unusual for wealth to accumulate
[97]
in one city or state or in the hands a small
group of people. 43.4% of the world's wealth is
[105]
controlled by the top 1%. The Pareto principle
is visible everywhere.
[111]
But what we want to focus on in this video
is, what are the investments you have to make
[116]
to be in the top 1 percent? What industries
are going to dominate the future? And where
[121]
should you invest to never work again?
We will answer all of these questions and
[126]
many more. But before we do that, give this
video a thumbs up, and here is a little disclaimer.
[131]
This is not financial advice and everything
that's said in this video is for educational
[136]
and entertainment purposes.
[137]
Climate tech
In the late 19th century, oil, as we know
[141]
it, was discovered and it has literally shaped
the world since then. It led to the invention
[146]
of automobiles, cars, planes, and rockets.
It led to the biggest infrastructure project
[151]
in the history of the US (highways) that shaped
the entire country. In fact, if you go back
[156]
100 years ago, oil was the commodity that
created America's first billionaire and the
[161]
world richest person.
Young John Rockefeller realized the importance
[174]
of this commodity and quickly started building
his empire, where he literally created
[205]
a monopoly in
[239]
the country. His personal wealth grew in 1913
to $900 million, which was almost 3% of the
[275]
US GDP. 3 percent of US GDP today is 630 billion
dollars, which means back then, he was wealthier
[283]
than Elon Musk, and Jeff Bezos combined.
That's why his empire was broken into 34 different
[290]
companies. These companies still exist today
and are leading the industry. This industry
[296]
has also shaped the geopolitics of the world,
where it made middle eastern monarchies enormously
[301]
rich. Aramco, which is a state-owned Saudi
company that controls the oil in the country,
[307]
is valued at over 2 trillion dollars, and
a few years ago, it was the world's most valuable
[315]
company. However, the end of oil is coming.
Wendover Production has a great video on this,
[320]
which you should definitely check out. ( https://redirect.is/ktq1c2t )
Despite the fact that there is still a lot
[324]
of oil left, in 2019, it has reached it's
peak. The trend is now downward. Oil is going
[331]
to be more and more expensive to extract which
means oil prices are going to keep either
[336]
rising or oil companies simple wouldn't be
able to turn a profit. Which means the demand
[342]
for renewable energy is only going to rise.
On top of that, climate change is a problem
[347]
that dangers the entire future of humanity.
These 2 factors are fuelling the climate tech
[353]
industry. As oil has dominated the last 150
years, renewable tech is going to shape the
[359]
next hundred years.
Just in 2021, Climate tech start-ups have
[364]
raised a record $32 billion globally so far.
This number is only going to increase every
[370]
year. So, if you want to make an investment
and be sure that it's only going to grow,
[376]
invest in this industry.
[378]
2. Health care
[380]
What happened in 2020 wasn't surprising. If
you take a look at the history, pandemics
[385]
has been happening throughout history and
the most recent one happened in 1918. It was
[391]
absolutely devastating. But in the last 100
years, as tech began to grow so rapidly, life
[397]
expectancy began to rise as well. We realized
that if we take better care of ourselves,
[402]
we can easily live 80, 90, or even 100 years.
If over 100 years ago, you would be lucky
[408]
to live past the 50, now life starts at 50,
and 2020 was a warning that if we stop focusing
[416]
on our health, everything we have built could
be destroyed in a glimpse of an eye. But that's
[421]
just one side of the story. The other is that,
we can create technologies that can expand
[426]
our life span. For a long time, mRNA, for
example, was considered as a hoax. But Moderna
[433]
came in and created the first mRNA vaccine
where you don't need to inject the actual
[439]
virus but enough to use it to create similar
cells. With this technology, we can create
[445]
drugs faster, better and cheaper.
Anyone who has invested in Moderna has made
[450]
massive gains since then. However, biotech
companies are just emerging. You have Vertex,
[456]
Roche, Pfizer. Of course, it's risky to make
a single bet of any of these companies but
[462]
you can try vanguard health care ETF (VHT).
It literally holds stocks of the most prominent
[467]
biotech companies such as Pfizer, Johnson
& Johnson, and the rest.
[474]
3. VTI
[475]
When people recommend an ETF, they usually
talk about the S&P500, but it's not the only
[480]
ETF out there. S&p500 companies are great,
but they are not the only companies in the
[486]
country. As of 2019, there has been 32.5 million
businesses in the US, and thousands of them
[493]
are listed in the stock market. So you want
to benefit from not just the top 500 companies
[498]
but the entire economy. Even Tesla just recently
joined the s&p500, and there are plenty of
[504]
great companies that are not on the s&p500.
The VTI ETF aims to replicate the composition
[511]
of the US equity market, providing a broadly
diversified and low-turnover portfolio for
[518]
a cheap fee. It captures the entire investable
U.S. equity market. It has a very low fee
[524]
which makes it great for long-term investments.
It's one of my favorite ETFs.
[530]
4. REITs
I have been in real estate since I was a teenager.
[535]
It's one of the industries that I absolutely
love, especially for the fact that it provides
[540]
stable cash flow. You have total control over
it, and it keeps sending you paycheques. Of
[546]
course, it requires some level of management
but it's manageable to a certain extend. However,
[551]
not everyone enjoys that. A property means
constant problems. You have to find tenants.
[557]
Something breaks down, you have to fix it,
you have to pay taxes, renovate it, and a
[561]
million other thing. It's really time-consuming.
What makes real estate so social is that real
[567]
estate prices keep rising. Even if they crash,
they will eventually bounce back. Take the
[573]
biggest real estate crash of 2008. Prices
haven't just jumped back to where they have
[578]
been but have risen significantly since then.
So how do you invest in real estate without
[583]
actually buying any property?
The answer is REITs!
[588]
REITs are businesses that own and manage properties,
and they are traded in the stock market. So
[593]
by investing in a REIT, you are investing
in real estate indirectly. But what I like
[599]
the most is that there are REIT ETFs like
VNQ that invest in multiple REITs.
[605]
5. Online Education
[608]
With the rise of the internet. Education has
become widely accessible, especially with
[613]
places like Khan Academy, Skillshare and others.
We should have moved to online education long
[618]
ago, but we didn't. So 2020 pushed the entire
world to move to online education, and it
[624]
seems like this industry is going to explode
in the next decade or so.
[629]
Today you can literally access any information
on the internet, learn anything from YouTube
[634]
and master any skill from your favorite blogger.
There are multiple ways to invest in this
[640]
sector. Of course, you have traditional means
such as eduction companies that are listed
[644]
on the stock market or ETFs that are focused
on this industry. You can even get into this
[649]
industry on your own if you are good enough
at something.
[652]
But I prefer startups in this industry because
it's growing too fast and it has a huge potential.
[658]
I am almost sure that 20 years from now, education
is going to look entirely different with all
[664]
of these new tools we have, such as VR.
But If you want to experience online education
[666]
now, then check out my course on Skillshare
that will teach you everything you need to
[667]
know about the stock market to start investing.
It's simple, straightforward and fully animated.
[668]
I have literally answered almost all of the
questions you have in your mind. I strongly
[669]
recommend it if you are serious about investing.
It will not just teach you how to invest in
[670]
index funds but teach you how to analyze stocks
and read financial statements, and at the
[671]
end of the course, you will have to complete
an assignment that I will personally check,
[672]
and the best part of it is that you can get
2 weeks of Skillshare premium if you use the
[673]
link in the description and get the course
for free. So don't miss it.
[674]
You can also start your investing journey
by getting 2 free stocks from we bull by using
[675]

You have everything you need to start.
