The floodgates have opened. Yeah, kicked down the door. For sure. So, I don't know. Politics is interesting, man. It's just a dirty game, politics. Do we like his chances if he does?
It's like COVID. They all sold their stocks two weeks before the official lockdown happened because they got briefed that we was going to get a lockdown. It's human nature. If you know something, you're going to act on it. And it's not illegal.
They know who's getting contracts. They know who's about to get on the investigation. They know when... They know everything. They get briefed on things that we're not privy to. So of course, if they're smart, they're going to use that information to make money. And now we've seen it even go a step further with meme coins. President has a meme coin, right?
So now you actually have political people that's actually endorsing their own
coin investment to push to the public marketed from the bully pulpit that they've been provided from being elected officials that's unprecedented pretty much yeah and incentivizing it too you think about trump coin because i think it was like 58 people made a ton of money 10 million yeah and then everybody else lost everything yeah it's a scam any of those coins are scams they're not tied to anything the whole point of that is just to pump it up real quick get
a few people rich, and then it's gonna fall apart. So that's happened with anybody that's done that, with celebrities when they've endorsed to the coin. We just never seen a president do that before. But there's a lot of things that we've never seen happen. Or First Lady. She had a coin.
No, it's never going to be leveled. The idea of there's no democracy. Like, democracy is everybody's equal. That's not true. We know that. If you're Elon Musk, you're not the same as a schoolteacher in Nebraska. You can literally put $200 million into an election. How are you equal? Right?
If that was the case, then it would be so many different laws and rules that would be put in place to make every single person equal. So I think that... it's never an equal playing field in life. But the most you can do is actually just get into the game, right? You can get into the game. You're not going to be LeBron James, but at least you're in the game.
You either participate or sit on the sidelines or start a revolution and try to erase the whole entire system and bring a new system in. But that's extremely difficult to do. So as long as... We're going to do it.
I like that.
You're hired.
I mean, you got to check every day. Every day.
But it's all relative. I think sometimes people get discouraged with numbers. Numbers is an infinite language. There's no ending or beginning in mathematics. So we have to look at, okay, where are you up since... We started the year. Where are you up since you started your brokerage account? Let's say I'm up 500% since I started my brokerage account, but I'm down from the start of February.
I think sometimes this can be misleading and it can have some level of discouragement for the average person. I just tell people, just invest. If you invest in quality companies, ETFs, index funds, you're going to make money over the course of time. But in pockets, you might have a good season where you're up. You might have a bad season when you're down.
But if you look at it too much, then that's going to cause you either a comparison analogy where you're actually comparing yourself to other people, then you start to gamble. then you start to make bad decisions or you get discouraged because you're like, why am I doing this? I'm only up 5%. I might as well just gamble.
Online right now, there's more money you're putting online gambling in the stocks. That's a problem. So we really have to be cautious about how we're curating these messages because the reason why people are putting more money into online gambling is because they think that they can have a quicker opportunity to make more money.
Most people are not entertained by something that's boring. They're entertained by flash and numbers. And if that's the mentality, then you're going to go to Las Vegas.
It's also based on how much money you have. Because if you have 7% on $1,000, you can't do anything with that. If you have 7% on a million, that's somebody's salary. So it's all relative. And that goes back to the education as well. So the numbers that we're looking at is important, but it's also how much money you're putting in. That's why you gotta put as much money as possible.
Saying like the amount doesn't matter is a lie. Amount always matters. But that's why investing and business go hand in hand. So like with our platform, we teach entrepreneurship and we teach
investing because you got to have money to invest what happens is that if you don't have money to invest now you start with very short small bots of money then you start to gamble with that because you want outstretched returns to make it make sense a thousand dollars seven percent's not gonna move the needle so now i need ten thousand percent return on my thousand dollars to actually get somewhere in life but if you have positive cash flow coming in now you can invest a thousand dollars a month
