stocks uh you know diamond hands
[111]
together apes are strong to the moon you
[115]
know
[115]
all these memes and things you've been
[118]
seeing number one
[120]
it's awesome i love it because uh
[123]
you know you maybe if you listen to the
[124]
podcast you know since i was a kid
[127]
i've always been yeah i've called myself
[129]
a stock market dork
[131]
and when you're a dork when you're a
[133]
nerd by the way i consider dork and nerd
[136]
compliments i don't consider those
[137]
derogatory terms if you're a
[139]
wine nerd if you're a coffee nerd if
[142]
you're a
[143]
cigar nerd or a stock market nerd i
[145]
consider that a compliment it just means
[147]
you really love something and you love
[149]
getting into all intricate details of it
[152]
but that being said the memes are just
[155]
amazing
[156]
and it's so it makes trading so much
[158]
more fun
[160]
and now let's talk about how you really
[163]
apply this okay how do you make some
[165]
money with this
[166]
that's why you're here you're trying to
[167]
make some money you're trying to grow
[169]
your account
[170]
supplement your income pay for a
[171]
vacation whatever
[173]
well as much as i love the meme stocks
[176]
and the whole you know diamond hands and
[178]
hold the line and all this stuff
[181]
what this is creating is so much
[184]
opportunity for you if you
[187]
are that nerd or that dork that
[190]
really wants to learn this stuff okay
[193]
and
[193]
that's one of the things i talk about a
[195]
lot that listen i don't think you should
[198]
be
[198]
actively day trading unless you're
[201]
in love unless you're obsessed i mean
[204]
i'm obsessed if you follow the channel i
[207]
mean
[207]
every morning every single morning i
[210]
show up here
[211]
rant and rave you know go nuts about the
[214]
action of the day
[215]
i think you can tell my passion if you
[217]
listen to the podcast
[218]
um you know the steady trade podcast
[221]
like the number one complaint for the
[223]
steady trade podcast is
[224]
tim never shuts up i just love talking
[227]
stocks i
[227]
love this stuff and if you're that nerd
[230]
and you're
[231]
into this stuff there's so many more
[234]
uninformed investors people that aren't
[236]
putting in the time
[238]
people that aren't tracking their trades
[240]
they're not doing the spreadsheets at
[241]
night
[242]
you know they're just the yolo people
[244]
and
[245]
i'm not here to pass a moral judgment
[247]
you know listen if
[248]
young people want to throw some money at
[251]
the market i'm not going to
[252]
yell at him i mean listen when i was 18
[255]
19 20
[256]
the stuff i wasted money on you know
[259]
putting
[260]
a thousand dollar stereo in a car that
[262]
was worth 500 bucks
[264]
you know it's like listen i made plenty
[266]
of
[267]
bad decisions from 18 to 20 to 22 to 25
[271]
you know
[272]
and here's the thing if you do yolo
[274]
maybe you'll learn from it at least
[275]
but you're not a yolo peep you're you're
[278]
actually watching
[279]
youtube videos you want to learn you
[281]
want to get better so the point is
[283]
study take advantage of this youtube
[286]
channel take advantage of the podcast
[288]
check out the stocks of trade blog uh
[291]
you know listen
[291]
there's a bunch of videos on our channel
[294]
where i review books recommend
[296]
books there's so much information out
[298]
there and if you can be
[300]
diligent and focused there's never been
[302]
more dumb money out there
[304]
and the dump the more dumb money there
[306]
is
[307]
the more the edge to the people that
[309]
take it serious
[311]
and listen gme amazing going from four
[314]
dollars
[315]
to you know 400 in the matter of um
[318]
you know a few months and i mean really
[321]
vertically went from 20
[322]
to 4 almost 500 in the matter of a week
[326]
but we all know what most of them are
[328]
gonna do none of them have a plan
[330]
none of them have a stop and they might
[332]
have bought it
[333]
200 300 heck they might have bought it
[335]
50 i mean
[337]
and sitting on a huge unrealized gain so
[339]
think about that
[340]
that person that doesn't have that trade
[342]
plan and they bought it
[343]
at 50 and here they are up 200 a share
[347]
maybe they got like 10 shares you know
[349]
they got they bought 10 shares at 50 a
[351]
500
[352]
position here they are you know sitting
[354]
at at
[355]
2 500 a 2 000 gain
[358]
on a 500 position and they're not
[360]
selling you know because they
[362]
they believe the memes they believe that
[364]
gamestop has long term
[366]
potential they think it's going to ten
[368]
thousand you know
[369]
now listen anything can happen in this
[372]
market
[372]
but the biggest point i want to talk
[374]
about is we always talk about
[376]
that three to one risk to reward having
[379]
realistic goals
[380]
and here's the thing let's say you are
[382]
and i'm not saying anybody
[384]
bought you know 10 well somebody
[385]
probably did but if you bought 10 shares
[387]
at 50 and here you are sitting
[389]
with a 400 percent gain 500 percent gain
[392]
you take that gains you book it and then
[394]
here's the thing
[396]
if gme let's say who knows by the time
[398]
this video comes out
[399]
usually there's a weak lag until the
[401]
video gets published
[403]
you know if it breaks out at 500 we buy
[406]
you can always trade in and out of these
[409]
things
[409]
that's the beauty of liquid stocks like
[411]
this thing i mean i mean trading
[413]
hundreds of millions of shares you can
[415]
get in and out
[416]
plenty of liquidity anytime you want so
[419]
there's
[420]
no reason to become
[423]
that true believer or that bag holder or
[425]
that trader with no plan
[427]
and if you simply have
[430]
a goal and a stop okay
[435]
i know a lot of you are probably taking
[437]
this seriously that's why you're on the
[439]
channel
[439]
you'd be amazed how many people they
[442]
enter a trade
[443]
and it's like what's your stop that i
[444]
don't know you know
[446]
uh i'll stop if it goes against me
[449]
what's that mean
[450]
and then well when are you selling
[451]
what's your goal well
[453]
you know i'll sell when it spikes you
[456]
know and
[456]
those vague you know so because the
[459]
reason they're vague
[461]
i mean it's some quarter it's probably
[462]
some sort of psychological thing that
[464]
gives them that ability
[465]
to enter you know to stay in a trade
[468]
when the when it
[469]
when it doesn't go their way or when it
[471]
does go their way and then it allows
[472]
them to basically
[474]
weasel out something that i've taught
[476]
forever
[477]
write it down on an index card and i
[480]
mean i know most of us are on laptops
[482]
now but
[483]
back in when i would when i was getting
[485]
started trading you know i had a desktop
[487]
so i had the function keys on the top of
[489]
my keyboard i would enter
[491]
or write down my entry my goal and my
[494]
stop and i would stick it
[496]
in that function key row of my keyboard
[499]
and it was staring me in the face so
[502]
that when my stop started slipping
[504]
that index card is telling me you're an
[506]
idiot you're not sticking to your
[507]
discipline you're not
[509]
actually trading you're just hoping
[511]
you're hoping it goes up
[513]
you're hoping if it goes against you it
[514]
bounces hope and hope and hoping
[517]
you know whether it's in your favor or
[518]
not in your favor and hope
[520]
is not a strategy okay that is not a
[522]
strategy
[523]
a strategy is buying gme at 250
[527]
selling or buying it at 50 selling it at
[530]
150
[531]
selling it at 200 not holding up to 480
[534]
and then let it come all the way back to
[535]
50 or 40 or 30 or 20 or all the way back
[539]
to five bucks where it started so have a
[542]
trade plan
[544]
stick to it build good
[547]
habits okay telling you if you've ever
[550]
tried to
[550]
get in shape or lose weight that
[553]
momentum
[554]
builds day one you know you exercise and
[557]
maybe you miss a day
[558]
then you hit it then you do two days in
[560]
a row then you do three days in a row
[562]
then you start eating better then you
[563]
start drinking your water and that
[565]
momentum builds
[567]
and all of a sudden you look back and
[569]
you're 20 pounds lighter
[570]
or your cardio is 10 times better or
[572]
your bench is that much higher
[574]
or whatever your goal is consistent
[578]
daily good habits taking this seriously
[582]
again i love the memes nobody
[585]
loves the memes more than i do but i
[588]
take this seriously it's
[590]
real money it's real trading things can
[592]
go bad fast
[594]
just as bad as they are just as quickly
[596]
as they can go good
[597]
all right everyone love the memes give
[600]
me a comment below what's your favorite
[601]
one
[602]

[605]

[608]
favorite ones but
