And he was adamant that anybody investing in individual stocks should invest in something that they know, that they use every day.
Now, today, that might be an Apple iPhone.
I think back in his day, he was talking about things like Coca-Cola.
Start with something you know.
Start with something you're passionate about.
So that's the best way to get started.
If I tell you, you know, a stock that's boring to me is Procter & Gamble.
Absolutely fine company from a financial point of view.
You know, they make Tide, they make diapers and all that sort of stuff.
But I just can't get excited about it.
It has a purpose in a portfolio.
It's a stabilizer, gives a decent dividend, and over time it goes up.
But it is not going to excite you the way Tesla excites you.
But the reason to have a Procter & Gamble with a Tesla is because of what you just described, Ryan, about how Tesla is so volatile.
If you're going to get the returns that Tesla has given you, which I'm not going to look it up right now, but I think probably over the last 10 years, it's 35% annualized return.
I'm in the ballpark.
That return is so far in excess of the S&P 500 that I don't really know how to compare it.
But you only get that return by taking on risk, by taking on the volatility that you so well described of, hey, you know, he joins Doge and all of a sudden people are, you know, keying the cyber trucks.
That was so stupid, by the way.
But anyway, and the stock goes down below 200 and now it's above 400.
