And so whatever it is that you do that can be done on a computer can actually be programmed and can be automated, and it follows that same step-by-step process. Why that's powerful and important when it comes to trading is because it doesn't have the same default parameters negative things that a human may have. The algorithms don't get tired. They don't have partners or kids.
They don't have jobs. They don't get distracted by social media mentions, et cetera, et cetera. They just follow the same step-by-step process efficiently and effectively the same way every single time. And when it comes to trading and investing, you actually would prefer that because some of the biggest mistakes and biggest impacts on people's negative trading are the human elements.
Yeah, 100%. I think you need a hybrid of a passive portfolio and an active portfolio. So passive is where you're just putting the money to work for you bigger picture long term, think generational wealth building, and think active for trading. So first and foremost, in the eyes of the IRS, 366 days is the first day of an investment.
So investing and trading are similar, but they're different, not only in general by definition, but they're different in the eyes of the IRS. So long-term capital gains and long-term capital losses start at 366 days and beyond. So that is what an investment is. So one year or longer is an investment. One year or shorter is a trade. That's everything from nanoseconds all the way up to a year.
So the first thing that everybody really needs to understand is that investing and trading are different. Now, when I think about investing, The simplest thing that anybody that's listening to this can do right now is a dividend portfolio, a diversified dividend portfolio. And one of the easiest ways to do that is look up what's called the dividend aristocrats and the dividend kings.
So dividend aristocrats are companies that have paid dividends and increased their dividends every year for the last 50 years. And Dividend Kings are every company that has paid dividend and increased their dividend every year for the last 25 years. So you can do two things, one,
You could take out or Google or research a dividend calculator and you could put in this dividend calculator how much money you want to make a year without working. And you say, I want to live off of one hundred thousand dollars a year. And that dividend calculator will tell you how much you need to put into a dividend portfolio and how much that dividend portfolio needs to pay you.
monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annually for you to literally put your money to work for you and you never have to work for that money again as long as those companies stay around. So now you got the dividend calculator and you know how much money you want to live off of a year. And then you obviously need to get that capital. And then you put that into a dividend portfolio.
And I personally, if I'm starting from scratch, I would do a dividend aristocrat portfolio over dividend king portfolio. And obviously, this is not trade and investing advice. But if I'm starting from scratch and I'm looking to invest and not be active, that is what I would do to have a solid portfolio. And then.
So the next step with that is I would take a loan against that portfolio because loans are tax free. And then I would actively trade. And as long as my active investments of my active trading is outperforming the interest payment on my loan, then I'm capturing that spread tax free.
Yeah. If you are looking for passive, if you're looking for just an index fund or you're looking for something to where you can put it and not necessarily think about it as often, then the S&P 500, the QQQ, these type of ETFs are low to medium risk. They are consistent and they've been proven over time. And
If you are not looking to actively trade, and this is what I tell people all the time, if you're looking to produce daily, weekly, monthly income, that's trading. If you're looking to just grow your wealth over time through slow accumulation or compounding interest, then you can look at investment portfolio. So the S&P 500 most popularly traded instrument and asset on the class is the SPY ETF.
You can look at that. You don't need a fund manager. You don't need a course. You don't need a mentor. Do your research to make sure that you're educated and informed. Select you a high quality dollar cost averaging strategy frequency of what and when you want to put that amount in. Keep that same amount and that same consistency of frequency. Set it, rinse, repeat, and keep doing it.
Yeah, no. So Miami is always one of my favorite cities. We own real estate here and all of that. So it's not a hard sell for me to come to Miami and do extended trips and things of that nature. And I've been traveling now. I've been in ten cities in the last 45 days, including three countries.
but this was the longest part of the trip that I had the opportunity to sit down for a second and catch up on some things. And I have my actual hedge fund that I'm licensed and I run and I have a team of quantitative developers that work with them for me to create my trading strategies into algorithms. Then I have just my personal money management and trading accounts and stuff like that.
And then I have the program where I actually teach people how to trade and invest. And I go live with them twice a week. And so when I do that, I feel more comfortable being at my station, being able to see the things that I'm looking at for my business and or my fund while separately on another screen, I can be able to teach and lock in and focus on them.
And when I'm traveling all the time, although most of my stuff is in remote servers, if I'm only on the laptop, I only have one screen and I can basically only be able to lock in and focus on what that is and not really see what else is going on. Although I look at my fun And my team is like, we're like NASA mission control.
We're not really actually up there, you know, managing the rocket ships in person, but we're in NASA just making sure that the algorithms and the technology works and does what it's supposed to do. So when I have extended trips, I mean. It cost me $400, $100 a screen to buy four screens. It cost me $50 to get a dude from TaskRabbit to set it up.
So $500, it was set up when... I don't think it's serious set up. Yeah, but it took me... three minutes to order those screen on Amazon. They came same day, shout out to Jeff Bezos with the same day delivery. The task rabbit do showed up at nine o'clock. It was all done within four hours of me thinking about it. So it wasn't really a, a big thought or big deal.
And then, um, you know, I got family and friends down here.
