## Transcript

[0:00] \[SPEAKER_01\]: Let's get to it, man.
[0:01] \[SPEAKER_01\]: I want to ask you this question up front because people came there for a reason today.
[0:04] \[SPEAKER_01\]: What exactly is an ETF and why should we be really dialing into those?
[0:10] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Yeah, an ETF is a basket of individual stocks that follow an index or follow a particular industry.
[0:18] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Okay, so the value of the ETF is that you don't have to pick individual companies.
[0:23] \[SPEAKER_00\]: So many people think that they gotta have all of these companies in their portfolio and they need to know what sectors to buy companies and what sectors, but an ETF does that work for you.
[0:34] \[SPEAKER_00\]: So it's a mutual fund, but with lower fees
[0:40] \[SPEAKER_01\]: So, do you what's a difference between an ETF and an index?
[0:44] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Yet, the biggest difference is how they're traded.
[0:48] \[SPEAKER_00\]: So, an ETF is traded like a stock.
[0:50] \[SPEAKER_00\]: You can buy it whenever you want to, when the market is open.
[0:54] \[SPEAKER_00\]: And index fund, you can typically only close out that position at the end of the trading day.
[1:00] \[SPEAKER_00\]: God, that's the biggest difference.
[1:02] \[SPEAKER_01\]: All right, all right.
[1:03] \[SPEAKER_01\]: So, what's the very first thing, man?
[1:05] \[SPEAKER_01\]: Today, we're learning about how do we build, and investment portfolio, specifically, ETF portfolio, that's worthwhile.
[1:14] \[SPEAKER_00\]: So, so many people aren't investing because they think they don't have time to do the research and they think you got to sit behind a computer and they think you got to be a finance expert, like, none of that is true, all right?
[1:30] \[SPEAKER_00\]: None of that is true.
[1:31] \[SPEAKER_00\]: And one way that you can build a portfolio to help you hit your freedom goal, whatever your investment number is, is simply building a portfolio
[1:43] \[SPEAKER_00\]: See, a lot of people have gotten to this point to where they are by individual stocks, and then they're buying some mutual funds, as if ETFs, and they don't have any real strategy behind how they've selected it.
[1:56] \[SPEAKER_00\]: And that creates some problems.
[1:57] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Number one, you could have duplicity and fees, but the biggest issue is that you could have over-constantation.
[2:04] \[SPEAKER_00\]: So if you own V-O-O, which is the S&P 500, then if you own NASDAQ, which is the top 100 tech companies, and then maybe you own something like S&H, you really have about four companies that you've bought, like three different times.
[2:21] \[SPEAKER_00\]: All right, so there's no real diversification.
[2:23] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Ooh, that's good.
[2:24] \[SPEAKER_00\]: And so, what we're about to talk about today, whether you have $100 or if you have a million dollars, yeah, this is the way that you can build a portfolio, set it and forget it.
[2:34] \[SPEAKER_01\]: Okay, all right, the average person in America is making right around 48 household income with two or more right around $70,000.
[2:41] \[SPEAKER_01\]: So they don't have a whole lot to invest.
[2:44] \[SPEAKER_01\]: How do we start if I have not as much to invest in the ETF world?
[2:49] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Yeah, just be consistent, or automate it.
[2:52] \[SPEAKER_00\]: I tell you know, there are some parallels between budgeting and investing, right?
[2:58] \[SPEAKER_00\]: So every time you do pay, you gotta have a budget, you gotta know where your money goes.
[3:03] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Nice.
[3:04] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Invest in this the same way.
[3:06] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Every time you get paid, you need to be investing.
[3:09] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Okay, so one of those budget and line items needs to be for investing.
[3:14] \[SPEAKER_01\]: Yes.
[3:14] \[SPEAKER_00\]: It needs to be automated as well.
[3:17] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Yeah.
[3:18] \[SPEAKER_00\]: And the same way in your budget, you've given every dollar a job.
[3:22] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Yep.
[3:23] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Every dollar in your investing portfolio needs to have a job.
[3:28] \[SPEAKER_01\]: And I like it budgeting and investing together.
[3:31] \[SPEAKER_01\]: I like it not all right.
[3:32] \[SPEAKER_01\]: So coach me, I have an extra $250 on my line.
[3:38] \[SPEAKER_01\]: I don't mean my budget.
[3:43] \[SPEAKER_01\]: to invest every month.
[3:45] \[SPEAKER_01\]: I do not have any ETFs.
[3:47] \[SPEAKER_01\]: I don't have no investment portfolio.
[3:49] \[SPEAKER_01\]: I don't want the very first to end with at $250 to go into building a ETF portfolio.
[3:55] \[SPEAKER_00\]: All right, so this is what I'm gonna do.
[3:56] \[SPEAKER_00\]: This is how we're gonna do this.
[3:57] \[SPEAKER_00\]: I will give you the structure, okay?
[3:59] \[SPEAKER_00\]: And then I'm gonna give you my portfolio.
[4:02] \[SPEAKER_01\]: Hold on, move right down the structure for me now.
[4:04] \[SPEAKER_01\]: And y'all need to be writing down the structure too.
[4:06] \[SPEAKER_01\]: I'm writing it down for y'all, right?
[4:08] \[SPEAKER_01\]: But I have one, just so y'all know that.
[4:11] \[SPEAKER_00\]: It don't have to be exactly mine, okay?
[4:13] \[SPEAKER_00\]: But I want to give you the stocks that are in mine in every category, all right?
[4:17] \[SPEAKER_00\]: All right, so I've built out the everyday investor portfolio.
[4:20] \[SPEAKER_00\]: So my community is very familiar.
[4:23] \[SPEAKER_00\]: The purpose of the everyday investor portfolio is that every dollar has a job.
[4:26] \[SPEAKER_00\]: So you have your engine that's the foundation of your portfolio, okay?
[4:30] \[SPEAKER_00\]: And you have your accelerator, which is the portion of your portfolio that's gonna grow, okay?
[4:35] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Then you got your shield.
[4:37] \[SPEAKER_00\]: the shield is to give you protection in the event that the market moves in the opposite direction.
[4:43] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Then you have your age.
[4:44] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Your age may just be a personal interest industry or stock that you care about and you wanted in your portfolio.
[4:52] \[SPEAKER_00\]: We teach in people how to invest so we give them the freedom.
[4:55] \[SPEAKER_00\]: to make their own selections inside of their portfolio with the age.
[4:59] \[SPEAKER_00\]: And then the last category is power plays.
[5:01] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Power plays are industries and companies that are going to benefit from the leadership that we have in the country right now.
[5:08] \[SPEAKER_00\]: For the first time ever, the federal government owns publicly traded company, right?
[5:13] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Wow.
[5:13] \[SPEAKER_00\]: And if you invest in them companies or if you invest in the companies that are congressmen and women or invested in, you're going to do well.
[5:20] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Those are the five categories.
[5:22] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Love it.
[5:22] \[SPEAKER_01\]: So we got engine.
[5:24] \[SPEAKER_01\]: Accelerator, shoot, edge, power plays.
[5:28] \[SPEAKER_00\]: That's the five, that's those are the five jobs that you gotta have in your portfolio.
[5:31] \[SPEAKER_01\]: Cool, great.
[5:32] \[SPEAKER_01\]: And then, up underneath each one of those, you have different ETFs that you're investing in, up underneath them.
[5:39] \[SPEAKER_01\]: Great.
[5:40] \[SPEAKER_01\]: Hey y'all, I'm excited right now.
[5:41] \[SPEAKER_01\]: We're gonna give you as much plays we can on this episode, but it's only like 35 or 40 minutes.
[5:47] \[SPEAKER_01\]: So, I wanna say this up front.
[5:50] \[SPEAKER_01\]: You're going to get a lot of play in this episode, but to get the fullness of it, you've got to subscribe to his channel.
[5:56] \[SPEAKER_01\]: He's even hosting a webinar this week as well, go over to his channel, he'll give you the days and the times.
[6:04] \[SPEAKER_01\]: As a matter of fact, when are you hosting your next webinar?
[6:06] \[SPEAKER_01\]: Thursday, Thursday, PM Easter.
[6:08] \[SPEAKER_01\]: Beth, so we're going to give it a play right now.
[6:10] \[SPEAKER_01\]: All right, get all this information right this down, bring it to the webinar, ask him questions on Thursdays.
[6:18] \[SPEAKER_01\]: Okay, so we got five.
[6:19] \[SPEAKER_01\]: Engine accelerator shield, edge power plays.
[6:22] \[SPEAKER_01\]: Now, if I'm being honest, that sounds like a lot, Courtney.
[6:26] \[SPEAKER_00\]: It's really not, let me tell you why it's not.
[6:28] \[SPEAKER_00\]: I tell people, keep your portfolio starting out to five to seven investments, okay?
[6:33] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Anthony, let me tell you something.
[6:36] \[SPEAKER_00\]: I'm talking to people every week on these webinars, people are asking questions that come in it.
[6:42] \[SPEAKER_00\]: We're saying people with 30 different investments in their portfolio.
[6:47] \[SPEAKER_00\]: 30 different ones.
[6:48] \[SPEAKER_00\]: And this is more of the norm than an exception.
[6:53] \[SPEAKER_00\]: And we'll tell you what people are doing.
[6:54] \[SPEAKER_00\]: And I love this.
[6:55] \[SPEAKER_00\]: So people are listening to us and any investment that we mentioned, they're buying it.
[7:00] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Yeah, yeah.
[7:01] \[SPEAKER_00\]: And so if you look at what we've been doing as a little over a year now, we've talked about a lot of different stops.
[7:05] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Yes, sir.
[7:06] \[SPEAKER_00\]: And so I love that people are taking action, but see, we gotta put strategy behind the portfolio.
[7:12] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Yeah, yeah.
[7:13] \[SPEAKER_00\]: See, we don't want to be
[7:16] \[SPEAKER_00\]: I call it portfolio promiscuous, all right.
[7:19] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Every time you say a star, you like it, you know, you want to commit to it.
[7:25] \[SPEAKER_00\]: You want to spend a little money on it.
[7:27] \[SPEAKER_00\]: You want to take it home and put it in your book.
[7:29] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Like, I don't, I don't need you to be stock hot.
[7:32] \[SPEAKER_00\]: I don't want you to be no stock, not need.
[7:34] \[SPEAKER_00\]: I don't want you to be cool.
[7:36] \[SPEAKER_01\]: Well, man, say a stock, stock.
[7:37] \[SPEAKER_00\]: I don't want you to be a stock dog.
[7:39] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Okay, I want you to be committed to your five to seven investments and you focus there.
[7:46] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Okay, stay there.
[7:47] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Okay, all right.
[7:48] \[SPEAKER_00\]: All right.
[7:48] \[SPEAKER_00\]: So this is giving you a way to own five ETFs.
[7:52] \[SPEAKER_01\]: I love it.
[7:53] \[SPEAKER_01\]: So the reason why I said this sounds like a lot, because I'm thinking I'm putting several ETFs up underneath each one.
[8:02] \[SPEAKER_00\]: No.
[8:03] \[SPEAKER_01\]: So you're saying just one, one.
[8:07] \[SPEAKER_01\]: Brilliant.
[8:10] \[SPEAKER_01\]: Brilliant, all right.
[8:11] \[SPEAKER_01\]: Let's go to the top engine.
[8:13] \[SPEAKER_01\]: What am I doing?
[8:14] \[SPEAKER_00\]: So for my engine, in mind, I'm going SPMO.
[8:17] \[SPEAKER_00\]: SPMO.
[8:18] \[SPEAKER_00\]: All right.
[8:18] \[SPEAKER_00\]: This is like, this is like the filet mignon or the S&P 500.
[8:22] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Okay.
[8:22] \[SPEAKER_00\]: That's where I go.
[8:24] \[SPEAKER_00\]: It is the top 100 companies out of the S&P 500, they have the most momentum and it gets rebalanced every six months.
[8:34] \[SPEAKER_01\]: I got it out.
[8:35] \[SPEAKER_01\]: I like them.
[8:36] \[SPEAKER_01\]: Now, let me actually just, the SPMO, I got this one, maybe about like six years ago.
[8:45] \[SPEAKER_01\]: What would you say to numbers?
[8:47] \[SPEAKER_01\]: Is it trending up?
[8:49] \[SPEAKER_01\]: I know it has its up and down, but is it trending up?
[8:52] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Yeah.
[8:52] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Though this is the investment that you want to get
[8:57] \[SPEAKER_00\]: brought market exposure in the best way.
[9:01] \[SPEAKER_00\]: This is the one that's doing this.
[9:02] \[SPEAKER_00\]: So this isn't an insanely risky.
[9:05] \[SPEAKER_00\]: This isn't one you're going to get a hundred percent return in a year, but it's going to keep you stable.
[9:10] \[SPEAKER_00\]: That's the purpose of the engine.
[9:11] \[SPEAKER_00\]: The engine, the purpose of the engine, is to give you a strong foundation.
[9:15] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Wow.
[9:16] \[SPEAKER_01\]: This is why I bring important to them.
[9:18] \[SPEAKER_01\]: Because you know, I've got the five phase escape plan on how to get out of debt.
[9:21] \[SPEAKER_01\]: He gave me y'all five to build it as well.
[9:23] \[SPEAKER_01\]: Y'all kid.
[9:24] \[SPEAKER_01\]: I'm gonna be quiet.
[9:25] \[SPEAKER_01\]: I don't about to say something to get me in trouble.
[9:27] \[SPEAKER_01\]: I don't, I don't want it.
[9:28] \[SPEAKER_01\]: It's new wife to call in, cause me out.
[9:31] \[SPEAKER_01\]: You can't be saying that with my husband.
[9:33] \[SPEAKER_01\]: I know.
[9:33] \[SPEAKER_01\]: And maybe quiet.
[9:34] \[SPEAKER_01\]: Because I mean, this, this is what it is.
[9:36] \[SPEAKER_01\]: Practical step by step things to do to build wealth.
[9:40] \[SPEAKER_01\]: Now.
[9:42] \[SPEAKER_01\]: When people hear the S&P 500, I just want to make sure that everyone understands.
[9:46] \[SPEAKER_01\]: You're saying the SPMO, it gives you the top 100 companies.
[9:50] \[SPEAKER_01\]: Why is that important for us to have the top 100 companies inside of our portfolio?
[9:55] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Yeah, you want the best of the best.
[9:57] \[SPEAKER_00\]: It's kind of like the all-starting.
[9:59] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Yes, sir.
[10:00] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Everybody in the league don't make the all-start.
[10:02] \[SPEAKER_00\]: That's the fact.
[10:03] \[SPEAKER_00\]: It's the creamer to crop.
[10:04] \[SPEAKER_00\]: It's the best of the best.
[10:06] \[SPEAKER_00\]: So we're giving you the best 100 companies
[10:09] \[SPEAKER_00\]: every six months.
[10:11] \[SPEAKER_01\]: On today's episode, you're learning exactly what an ETF is.
[10:14] \[SPEAKER_01\]: Do you actually know where to go and actually buy one?
[10:17] \[SPEAKER_01\]: You see, most people get excited.
[10:19] \[SPEAKER_01\]: They will open up their phones and hit a wall of confusing apps and actually hit in fees.
[10:24] \[SPEAKER_01\]: That confusion is the only things that are between you and your very first ETF.
[10:28] \[SPEAKER_01\]: That's why I put together a list of the best investing platforms for everyday people like yourself.
[10:33] \[SPEAKER_01\]: Zero trade commissions apps that round up your spare change.
[10:39] \[SPEAKER_01\]: These are options built for exactly where you are right now.
[10:43] \[SPEAKER_01\]: Some offer fractional shares.
[10:45] \[SPEAKER_01\]: That means you don't need $500 to start.
[10:47] \[SPEAKER_01\]: You can buy your very first ETF with what's already in your pocket.
[10:51] \[SPEAKER_01\]: 5, 10, maybe $15.
[10:53] \[SPEAKER_01\]: All you got to do is go to anthonyo.com for a session that's right now.
[10:57] \[SPEAKER_01\]: Compare the platforms, pick the one that fits you, and open your account before you close the app.
[11:02] \[SPEAKER_01\]: Listen, Courtney and I are giving you the strategy and the step by step process.
[11:07] \[SPEAKER_01\]: Go get the tool and use it.
[11:09] \[SPEAKER_01\]: Go to Anthonyonio.com, forward slash, invest.
[11:12] \[SPEAKER_01\]: Let's get back to today's episode.
[11:14] \[SPEAKER_01\]: This is so good.
[11:15] \[SPEAKER_01\]: So we got the engine.
[11:17] \[SPEAKER_01\]: That's running.
[11:18] \[SPEAKER_01\]: Celebrated means we go a little bit faster.
[11:19] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Am I reading this right?
[11:20] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Exactly.
[11:21] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Accelerators where you gonna take a little bit more risk to get some growth.
[11:25] \[SPEAKER_00\]: And I'm going dream, dream, D-R-A-M.
[11:29] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Hold on, baby, baby, baby.
[11:30] \[SPEAKER_00\]: D-R-A-M?
[11:31] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Yes.
[11:32] \[SPEAKER_00\]: I haven't heard about this in a book.
[11:33] \[SPEAKER_00\]: All right, so, dream, we've talked a lot about A-I infrastructure.
[11:37] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Yes, sir.
[11:37] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Okay.
[11:38] \[SPEAKER_00\]: So, the next area, we're going to talk about two A-I infrastructure ETFs in this conversation.
[11:44] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Okay.
[11:44] \[SPEAKER_00\]: But we've spent a lot of time talking about Chips.
[11:47] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Okay.
[11:48] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Right, and send me conductors in the video and all of that in Power Plant.
[11:52] \[SPEAKER_00\]: All right.
[11:52] \[SPEAKER_00\]: So, now,
[11:54] \[SPEAKER_00\]: the focus around AI infrastructure areas in memory.
[11:58] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Yes.
[11:58] \[SPEAKER_00\]: So this includes companies like Micron, Sandis, Cgate.
[12:02] \[SPEAKER_00\]: These are some of the biggest growers in 2026.
[12:05] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Yes, sir.
[12:06] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Dram includes.
[12:07] \[SPEAKER_00\]: I think it's like 26, 33 companies.
[12:09] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Okay.
[12:10] \[SPEAKER_00\]: And memory.
[12:11] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Can it's the biggest bottleneck in artificial intelligence?
[12:15] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Okay.
[12:16] \[SPEAKER_00\]: And when I say bottleneck, it means that there's a lot of demand, but the companies don't even have the capacity to meet the demand.
[12:23] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Like right now, their production capacity is filled through 2027.
[12:27] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Okay.
[12:28] \[SPEAKER_00\]: And it got all of these orders coming in.
[12:31] \[SPEAKER_01\]: Yeah.
[12:32] \[SPEAKER_00\]: It's really, really difficult to invest in these companies individually.
[12:35] \[SPEAKER_00\]: The reason why I say it's difficult is because some of these like micron stock is,
[12:41] \[SPEAKER_00\]: It's $1500, I think it hit $2100, $2,300 earlier this year.
[12:48] \[SPEAKER_00\]: C Gates saying, they're expensive stocks, which we don't care about being expensive, but I still know there's a psychological thing that everyday investors have when they look at the stock market.
[12:58] \[SPEAKER_00\]: So instead of having to pick, which one of these companies are gonna do the best, you invest in drown, and now you don't invest it in all of them.
[13:07] \[SPEAKER_01\]: So at a time of us recording this, I pulled up Dram ETF, around Hill Memory ETF, Dram.
[13:17] \[SPEAKER_01\]: It's at $55.49 at the time of us recording this.
[13:21] \[SPEAKER_00\]: That's affordable, very affordable.
[13:25] \[SPEAKER_00\]: And the companies that are in there are thousands of dollars.
[13:29] \[SPEAKER_00\]: So,
[13:31] \[SPEAKER_00\]: It makes total sense and this is the most attractive AI infrastructure area right now is memory.
[13:41] \[SPEAKER_01\]: Yeah, I want to ask you this question, I've never asked you this before, but you said something made me think right from an average everyday person who this is new to right you said.
[13:54] \[SPEAKER_01\]: which is true.
[13:55] \[SPEAKER_01\]: If you want to go buy one single stock of some of the companies in here it's going to cost you maybe $1,000.
[14:00] \[SPEAKER_01\]: But you can get the ETF for $55.51.
[14:01] \[SPEAKER_01\]: How was that possible?
[14:05] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Yeah, so basically what the ETFs do is you're, you're not buying the individual shares of the company inside of the ETF.
[14:14] \[SPEAKER_00\]: All right, the ETF is the investment vehicle and you're paying an entry price to the ETF.
[14:20] \[SPEAKER_00\]: There we go.
[14:20] \[SPEAKER_00\]: There we go.
[14:21] \[SPEAKER_00\]: There we go.
[14:22] \[SPEAKER_01\]: There we go.
[14:22] \[SPEAKER_01\]: I just want to ask that question for y'all because some of y'all think like, wait, if this company calls a thousand, that company calls 500, how am I getting for $55?
[14:31] \[SPEAKER_01\]: Now that you know the answer, just go get drowned.
[14:34] \[SPEAKER_01\]: For $55.49, again at the time of recording.
[14:37] \[SPEAKER_01\]: Okay, it may change at the time when this comes out, right?
[14:40] \[SPEAKER_01\]: Which is a good thing.
[14:41] \[SPEAKER_01\]: You can see if it went up, if it went down, the stopmark is always gonna be going up and down, but you gotta get in.
[14:46] \[SPEAKER_01\]: So if you can get it at $40, that means you got it cheaper when I buy it, cause I'm buying me something today.
[14:52] \[SPEAKER_01\]: Okay.
[14:53] \[SPEAKER_01\]: Buy me something.
[14:53] \[SPEAKER_01\]: All right, so we got the engine, we run in.
[14:55] \[SPEAKER_01\]: We got drown, we're accelerated, we're going fast.
[14:58] \[SPEAKER_01\]: Now the shield is, but I know for a shield, it protects you.
[15:02] \[SPEAKER_00\]: It protects you.
[15:03] \[SPEAKER_00\]: That's exactly what is going to be in our portfolio as well.
[15:07] \[SPEAKER_00\]: So two often people are focused on returns and growth.
[15:12] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Yes, but the market doesn't always go in one direction.
[15:16] \[SPEAKER_00\]: And so if you can reduce how far you fall when the market is down,
[15:21] \[SPEAKER_00\]: is going to give you more ability to get better returns in a long room.
[15:25] \[SPEAKER_01\]: Yes, sir.
[15:25] \[SPEAKER_00\]: I always use the example.
[15:26] \[SPEAKER_00\]: If you got $100, you invest $100, you lose 50% of it.
[15:30] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Now you have $50.
[15:32] \[SPEAKER_00\]: To get back, even though you only lost 50% to get back to 100, you need 100% return.
[15:40] \[SPEAKER_00\]: So you want to try to reduce how far you fall to make it a shorter distance to go back up.
[15:47] \[SPEAKER_00\]: So you want to think about what your portfolio is doing on the downside as well.
[15:51] \[SPEAKER_01\]: And for a shield, what company am I going with?
[15:53] \[SPEAKER_00\]: So I'm going with IAU, which is the gold ETF.
[15:58] \[SPEAKER_00\]: We've talked about gold and silver and some other precious metals and how sometimes they move inversely to the overall stock market.
[16:08] \[SPEAKER_00\]: So I want to invest in something that's going to go up when the stock market is down and I'm going to go with gold here.
[16:14] \[SPEAKER_01\]: I love it.
[16:15] \[SPEAKER_01\]: I got that one.
[16:16] \[SPEAKER_01\]: And Brian Ashley, I'm winning with that one.
[16:19] \[SPEAKER_01\]: Today is going for 82.06.
[16:21] \[SPEAKER_01\]: I bought that when it was right at $68.
[16:23] \[SPEAKER_00\]: It's actually surging again.
[16:26] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Yes, really, really aggressively.
[16:28] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Yes, sir.
[16:31] \[SPEAKER_01\]: I got a good seal there, baby.
[16:33] \[SPEAKER_01\]: Okay, so we got that.
[16:34] \[SPEAKER_01\]: All right, edge.
[16:36] \[SPEAKER_01\]: Now wait, I don't know what edge stands for.
[16:37] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Yet so edge is, edge is, I consider this to be the part of your portfolio where you can have fun.
[16:44] \[SPEAKER_00\]: It's like, I'm telling you what you need to have everywhere else.
[16:47] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Yeah, sometimes people feel a little bit restricted.
[16:49] \[SPEAKER_00\]: And they're like, Courtney, like, I'm taking your classes.
[16:52] \[SPEAKER_00\]: You know, I'm listening to you on the table with A.
[16:54] \[SPEAKER_00\]: And people are learning about investment.
[16:56] \[SPEAKER_00\]: We teaching them the right way.
[16:58] \[SPEAKER_00\]: And so they want to be able to use the knowledge that they've learned and make their own selection.
[17:04] \[SPEAKER_00\]: I give you a space inside of your portfolio to do it.
[17:07] \[SPEAKER_00\]: This is optional.
[17:08] \[SPEAKER_00\]: You don't have to, you don't have to have it age.
[17:10] \[SPEAKER_00\]: You've got to have an engine accelerator.
[17:12] \[SPEAKER_00\]: and a shoe.
[17:13] \[SPEAKER_00\]: That's if you don't have to have an age.
[17:15] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Got you.
[17:15] \[SPEAKER_00\]: But if you like, hey, you know, I know something about a particular industry, or I'm watching, you know, X, Y, and Z over here.
[17:22] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Yeah.
[17:23] \[SPEAKER_00\]: That is for you to use your knowledge, to use your discretion and for you to have fun in your portfolio.
[17:29] \[SPEAKER_01\]: So you don't really give nobody an account for edge.
[17:32] \[SPEAKER_01\]: You just say whatever you wanna put it in.
[17:33] \[SPEAKER_01\]: Whatever you wanna put right there.
[17:34] \[SPEAKER_01\]: Whew.
[17:36] \[SPEAKER_00\]: I'm gonna put whatever.
[17:39] \[SPEAKER_00\]: So for me, I actually have two right here that you play with that that I have invested in.
[17:44] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Okay, here, uh, one of them is Q2UM.
[17:47] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Yeah, it is the Quantum ETF we've talked about that before.
[17:50] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Yeah, Quantum being the next major innovation in our society that's coming in probably in the next two years.
[17:57] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Yeah, I want to maintain some exposure to that.
[18:00] \[SPEAKER_00\]: The other one, um, I just added.
[18:03] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Okay.
[18:03] \[SPEAKER_00\]: And it's because it's a new ETF.
[18:05] \[SPEAKER_01\]: Okay.
[18:05] \[SPEAKER_00\]: And it is the next AI infrastructure area that we're about to start here and people talk more about.
[18:11] \[SPEAKER_00\]: We've heard a little bit about it, but for our audience, we haven't talked extensively about it.
[18:16] \[SPEAKER_00\]: And it has to do with the way that data is transferred within the data centers.
[18:22] \[SPEAKER_00\]: So, on right now, servers are talking to each other using copper wiring, copper wiring, there are some limitations.
[18:29] \[SPEAKER_00\]: There's speed, you know, generates a lot of heat.
[18:31] \[SPEAKER_00\]: We've talked about how much water is required in order to run an AI data center.
[18:36] \[SPEAKER_00\]: A lot of that water is needed to keep everything cool.
[18:39] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Well, now,
[18:41] \[SPEAKER_00\]: fiber optics is a huge thing, and so data can be transmitted through life faster.
[18:47] \[SPEAKER_00\]: And it's literally, it's faster, it's more environmentally friendly.
[18:52] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Think about delivery trucks, having to deliver packages on a two-lane dirt road.
[18:58] \[SPEAKER_00\]: You can get the package there, right?
[19:01] \[SPEAKER_00\]: But it's not very efficient.
[19:03] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Now with fiber optics, we're going to a 16-lane highway.
[19:09] \[SPEAKER_00\]: All right, like that's the, that's the transition that's being made.
[19:13] \[SPEAKER_00\]: And um, the ET, this, this ET of just lunch like at the beginning of August.
[19:18] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Oh, all right.
[19:19] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Oh.
[19:19] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Yeah.
[19:19] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Yeah.
[19:20] \[SPEAKER_00\]: And we talked about this last week inside of my community.
[19:23] \[SPEAKER_00\]: I actually did a YouTube live about it at the end of last week.
[19:26] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Okay.
[19:26] \[SPEAKER_00\]: But the, the ETF that includes companies that are in this photonics, uh, light space.
[19:33] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Yeah.
[19:38] \[SPEAKER_00\]: L-y-t-e-l-y-t-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e
[19:48] \[SPEAKER_00\]: uh... lumensum it includes uh... lumensum is probably the one that a lot of people are familiar with lumensum is like a nine hundred dollar stop um... corning is another company that's operating in that space there are this this particular ETF actually has about forty percent of the companies are chinese company because the expectation is that the chinese company is going to build a superior product
[20:16] \[SPEAKER_00\]: And you get some international exposure with this.
[20:19] \[SPEAKER_00\]: L-Y-T-E, it's like I said, it's brand new.
[20:23] \[SPEAKER_00\]: It is a alternative to E-U-V, which is a similar ETF that's been around a little bit longer, but I like L-Y-T-E being new, having that international exposure as well.
[20:38] \[SPEAKER_00\]: So in my edge, I have Q-T-U-M and L-Y-T-E.
[20:45] \[SPEAKER_00\]: L. Y. T. E. recently added okay recently added no man I'm looking at the numbers and the and the their financials and it's looking pretty good man but again it's new so when and when we say new august six yeah I think is when this would start it yeah yeah yeah now you're right august six man
[21:11] \[SPEAKER_01\]: Okay, I got to look at this.
[21:13] \[SPEAKER_01\]: I got to look more into this.
[21:15] \[SPEAKER_01\]: August 6th.
[21:21] \[SPEAKER_01\]: Okay, and launched at $24 and it's up to $26.07 at the time of recording this, which is what August the 18th.
[21:31] \[SPEAKER_00\]: So it's going up, okay?
[21:33] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Amen.
[21:35] \[SPEAKER_00\]: You teach and it's got, and I want to say this, this is my portfolio, right?
[21:41] \[SPEAKER_00\]: There are, you know, other ETFs that can satisfy these different categories, okay?
[21:48] \[SPEAKER_00\]: So I'm giving people an example using my portfolio, but your portfolio doesn't have to look exactly like mine.
[21:54] \[SPEAKER_01\]: Now, but I think what I appreciate about you is you're practicing what you're preaching, right?
[21:59] \[SPEAKER_01\]: And so you're giving us the bar, the roadmap, and solid examples that you're investing in.
[22:08] \[SPEAKER_01\]: And so, I mean, you're the expert in this space.
[22:11] \[SPEAKER_01\]: I haven't heard of the LITs, so I'm gonna do some more research on that and look into that myself.
[22:17] \[SPEAKER_01\]: So, at the time of recording 267, I love that.
[22:21] \[SPEAKER_01\]: Now, power plays sound like a power move to me, bro.
[22:24] \[SPEAKER_01\]: Like, that's like a, that's like a, it could either play really big or it can play really bad.
[22:32] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Yeah, so power plays every, I believe one of the easiest strategies, especially for beginner investors.
[22:39] \[SPEAKER_00\]: is to just follow the leadership of the country.
[22:42] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Yes, whether it's the president, whether it's Congress, invest your money where they're invested, and you're gonna be okay, because they're gonna make sure that they don't lose.
[22:50] \[SPEAKER_00\]: That's a fact, all right.
[22:53] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Trump has invested more in the stock market than all previous presidents come by.
[22:57] \[SPEAKER_01\]: He has.
[22:58] \[SPEAKER_00\]: The federal government owns companies for the first time in American history.
[23:02] \[SPEAKER_01\]: Yeah.
[23:02] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Okay, Congress, people and Congress are investing their rates never seen before.
[23:07] \[SPEAKER_01\]: Yeah.
[23:08] \[SPEAKER_00\]: If you're trying to figure out how to get started, figure all of that information is public.
[23:12] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Okay, I've done a couple of videos about it on my show, okay?
[23:16] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Just invest in the stuff that they're investing in, investing was in Trump's portfolio is public.
[23:21] \[SPEAKER_00\]: I had a downloadable sheet on the video where I did.
[23:26] \[SPEAKER_00\]: You can see everything he's investing in.
[23:29] \[SPEAKER_00\]: invest in what the power players are investing in.
[23:32] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Okay, that's what power plays is all about.
[23:34] \[SPEAKER_01\]: So that's government invest and y'all, this week should come up on the screen as well.
[23:41] \[SPEAKER_01\]: I'm just writing it down so we can have it.
[23:43] \[SPEAKER_01\]: Invest what and what the government is doing there.
[23:46] \[SPEAKER_01\]: All right, let me ask you a question.
[23:49] \[SPEAKER_01\]: If I invest in what the government is doing today, but then we get a new president.
[23:54] \[SPEAKER_01\]: We get a new Congress.
[23:55] \[SPEAKER_01\]: We get a new Senate.
[23:57] \[SPEAKER_01\]: Should I keep what I already had?
[24:03] \[SPEAKER_01\]: or do you say sell it and then get in what they're doing or keep that and just now start buying what they are doing.
[24:08] \[SPEAKER_00\]: I would re-evaluate.
[24:10] \[SPEAKER_00\]: I wouldn't, just because we get a new president, it doesn't mean liquidate what you had and buy something to love it.
[24:17] \[SPEAKER_00\]: You want to be looking at your portfolio for changes every six months anyway.
[24:24] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Just because, you know, what I have right now, that's what I'm probably going to be doing for the next six months, okay?
[24:30] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Six months, I'm going to change.
[24:31] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Here are some things that I have in there now that I wasn't focused on six months ago.
[24:35] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Facts.
[24:36] \[SPEAKER_00\]: All right, fine.
[24:37] \[SPEAKER_00\]: So you should be doing that anyway, but if we get something major happens like we get a new president, wait, reevaluate, see the direction of the office and then make decisions from there.
[24:47] \[SPEAKER_01\]: Yeah, we got the election coming up in November.
[24:50] \[SPEAKER_01\]: So I hope we can see some sea was happening there and starting investing into it just for the sake of today's conversation.
[24:57] \[SPEAKER_01\]: What is one thing that you're seeing in the government is investing in right now for the power play?
[25:01] \[SPEAKER_00\]: My power play, I have ITA, which is a defense and aeronautics ETF.
[25:09] \[SPEAKER_00\]: And I'm telling you, I really, this was the one I actually struggled the most with.
[25:13] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Yeah.
[25:14] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Because there were so many different ways that I could go, I could go to Trump's portfolio.
[25:17] \[SPEAKER_00\]: I could go to what the federal government owns.
[25:20] \[SPEAKER_00\]: I could go to some of the top investing Congressmen and women.
[25:24] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Again, we only, we're only going to do one maybe two per category.
[25:28] \[SPEAKER_00\]: So this is the one that I struggle with the most.
[25:30] \[SPEAKER_00\]: And the reason why I landed on ITA is because it actually includes.
[25:37] \[SPEAKER_00\]: two of my favorite stocks that nobody ever talks about, which are RTX and NGE.
[25:46] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Gee, yeah, like both of those companies are phenomenal.
[25:51] \[SPEAKER_00\]: They've both had to rebrand to make themselves more aligned with the direction that things are going.
[25:58] \[SPEAKER_00\]: And the stocks are really, really strong.
[26:01] \[SPEAKER_00\]: And those are actually the two largest holdings, yes.
[26:03] \[SPEAKER_00\]: In ITA, and that's the reason why I landed there is because I could own two of my favorite stocks in one of this.
[26:10] \[SPEAKER_01\]: brought us just did a math.
[26:13] \[SPEAKER_01\]: $566, if they go and they purchase this within the next 30 days, just want to be each.
[26:20] \[SPEAKER_01\]: If they went with the ITA, which is the most expensive one as of today, that's $251.89.
[26:25] \[SPEAKER_01\]: L-Y-T-E-Z at $26.07, the Gold ETF I-A-U, which I love, is at $82.06.
[26:37] \[SPEAKER_01\]: the Drem, that's at $55.49, and SPMO, which I have, several of those, is at $150.73.
[26:45] \[SPEAKER_01\]: $566.24.
[26:45] \[SPEAKER_01\]: You can have those five things.
[26:47] \[SPEAKER_01\]: That's your portfolio.
[26:49] \[SPEAKER_01\]: And then you could say, hey, I'm gonna do $25 a month.
[26:53] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Come on, whatever you can afford and build it out.
[27:06] \[SPEAKER_01\]: And then one thing that you teach with in your platform is, okay, this is what you're doing for six months.
[27:14] \[SPEAKER_01\]: Then we got to reassess in six months where we are, especially with a new government change, new power shift.
[27:21] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Somebody stocks the prices are going to shoot up, right?
[27:24] \[SPEAKER_00\]: And other stocks are going to shoot down.
[27:25] \[SPEAKER_00\]: So you may be able to find better value somewhere else than what you currently have.
[27:31] \[SPEAKER_01\]: You know, this is literally you designed this for the everyday investor the everyday hardworking individual who may not have thousands and millions to invest, but you can get into this if you're just the average income middle class person.
[27:48] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Yeah, this is the portfolio for everybody.
[27:51] \[SPEAKER_00\]: So you won't be out here, you know, trying to, you know, be, you know, stop.
[27:56] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Primisky was portfolio, Primisky was, this is giving you focus and it's giving you strategy.
[28:04] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Investing is about strategy, sir.
[28:06] \[SPEAKER_00\]: You know, somebody's, I know people gonna ask, they're gonna say, so if I wanna go to this structure, do I sell everything that I already have?
[28:16] \[SPEAKER_00\]: And the answer to that is no.
[28:18] \[SPEAKER_00\]: This is about moving forward.
[28:21] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Now evaluate what you have.
[28:23] \[SPEAKER_00\]: I tell people all the time I was in there.
[28:25] \[SPEAKER_00\]: If you own something in your portfolio, and you've had it for three years, and you're losing money, get rid of that.
[28:31] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Because that's just a bad investment because the market has been so strong.
[28:34] \[SPEAKER_00\]: But everything goes just holding.
[28:37] \[SPEAKER_00\]: This is for what you're gonna do with your money moving forward.
[28:39] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Yes, sir.
[28:40] \[SPEAKER_01\]: Yes, sir.
[28:40] \[SPEAKER_01\]: Listen y'all, I want to challenge out it to follow this structure and what I'm going to do is I'm a join y'all.
[28:45] \[SPEAKER_01\]: I'm I'm going to literally set up this same structure that Courtney has and I'm going to invest into all of these companies.
[28:53] \[SPEAKER_01\]: I have four, no, three of these stocks.
[28:56] \[SPEAKER_01\]: I'm going to get the other two.
[28:58] \[SPEAKER_01\]: I'm a follow this structure and I want I want it what we're going to do is
[29:07] \[SPEAKER_01\]: Six months from now, we're going to specifically do a show to come back as a as a as a family and reassess and see what companies are changing.
[29:18] \[SPEAKER_01\]: That'd be good.
[29:19] \[SPEAKER_01\]: You know what I'm saying?
[29:20] \[SPEAKER_01\]: And so we're doing this as a family.
[29:22] \[SPEAKER_01\]: If you're a part the the everyday investor community that he has if you part of the our community here at the table, where we're doing this has one big one one big family.
[29:32] \[SPEAKER_01\]: So I'm a duly.
[29:34] \[SPEAKER_01\]: And then six months, I'ma let y'all know how that portfolio was doing.
[29:39] \[SPEAKER_01\]: Simple.
[29:40] \[UNKNOWN\]: Simple.
[29:42] \[SPEAKER_01\]: Now, what is, now, and now here's a good question.
[29:45] \[SPEAKER_01\]: There's a bit of this, be all that's question.
[29:48] \[SPEAKER_01\]: What do you think?
[29:50] \[SPEAKER_01\]: Or, in your experience, when people do this, what is one mistake you see them do, like, two, three months in?
[29:58] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Yeah, they want to buy something else.
[30:02] \[SPEAKER_00\]: They're like, I'm missing, cause this is the thing.
[30:05] \[SPEAKER_00\]: But everybody feel like they miss it now.
[30:07] \[SPEAKER_00\]: They're like, oh man, there's a new, there's a new photonics ETF, oh, I got a buy it.
[30:13] \[SPEAKER_00\]: And like, oh, Palantir's at all time highs.
[30:15] \[SPEAKER_00\]: And they all got a buy, oh, Microsoft is coming back.
[30:18] \[SPEAKER_00\]: I got everybody feels like they miss it now.
[30:21] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Man, and that's the reason why we're doing this.
[30:23] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Come on.
[30:24] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Because let me tell you, if you just buy a stock one time,
[30:29] \[SPEAKER_00\]: you're missing out on the opportunities for that stock in the future that may have been the right stock to buy.
[30:37] \[SPEAKER_00\]: But if you just put $100 into it and it goes up 500 percent, well you ain't really make a whole lot of money.
[30:44] \[SPEAKER_00\]: But if you invested in that stock,
[30:47] \[SPEAKER_00\]: every single week for a year.
[30:49] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Now you got $10,000 invested in that stock.
[30:52] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Now if it goes up 500%, now you're talking about putting somebody through college.
[30:55] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Yes, sir.
[30:56] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Right.
[30:57] \[SPEAKER_00\]: And so the biggest mistake is people just feel like they're going to miss out, let me, let me, let me say something.
[31:03] \[SPEAKER_00\]: I'm going to say this right now.
[31:06] \[SPEAKER_00\]: One stock is not going to make you wealthy.
[31:10] \[SPEAKER_00\]: That's a fact.
[31:12] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Investing $500 into one stop is not going to make you well.
[31:17] \[SPEAKER_00\]: That's the effect.
[31:19] \[SPEAKER_00\]: If there's a scenario to where you put $500 in Nvidia 15 years ago, that probably made you a lot of money, but that's the equivalent to win in the lottery.
[31:32] \[SPEAKER_00\]: And we're not doing this because we, we're gambling.
[31:36] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Yeah.
[31:36] \[SPEAKER_00\]: We're not doing this because you know, we want to live on the edge.
[31:40] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Yeah.
[31:40] \[SPEAKER_00\]: We're building systems that change our family's lives.
[31:46] \[SPEAKER_00\]: It focus man.
[31:47] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Anytime you can be hyper focused in life, that's going to work out for you.
[31:51] \[SPEAKER_00\]: That's solid.
[31:52] \[SPEAKER_00\]: So if you get ignore the noise.
[31:54] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Yeah.
[31:54] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Now.
[31:55] \[SPEAKER_00\]: And that's the end.
[31:56] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Don't pay attention.
[31:56] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Pay attention, Max.
[31:58] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Like, have a watch list because if you get a really strong name, that drops 35, 40% now you got to figure out how you can add that to your portfolio when that time comes, right?
[32:10] \[SPEAKER_00\]: But the biggest mistake is people, let perfect example.
[32:14] \[SPEAKER_00\]: We came on here together and we had a conversation about not investing in SpaceX and that's what I did It was like don't do it.
[32:22] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Don't do it with all the reasons as to why not bruh people start being like I'm just gonna get a little bit of bruh I'm saying like people do that because they just they felt like an in in in SpaceX drop You know like 45% bruh I text you and yeah, you text
[32:39] \[SPEAKER_00\]: You'd say, excuse me, and the thing to have done would have been when they dropped the 45%, that was the point to actually invest in it if you were so eager, yeah.
[32:50] \[SPEAKER_00\]: But even when we tell people, people still just, they just get this bug and they just feel like I gotta do it anyway.
[32:57] \[SPEAKER_00\]: And it's cool, I mean, they dropped 45% in the first month, but if you're gonna hold on to it for five years, it don't even matter.
[33:03] \[SPEAKER_00\]: That's a fact, because that's what we really teach in.
[33:05] \[SPEAKER_01\]: Yes, sir.
[33:06] \[SPEAKER_00\]: But I just can't have people just so lost in the sauce that they feel like they're going to miss out.
[33:10] \[SPEAKER_01\]: No, I'm just like they're making.
[33:11] \[SPEAKER_01\]: I love it.
[33:12] \[SPEAKER_01\]: I love it.
[33:13] \[SPEAKER_01\]: Now, let's say for an example, and I said last question, now this is last question.
[33:16] \[SPEAKER_01\]: Let's say a great deal comes.
[33:20] \[SPEAKER_01\]: Do you say, all right, look at that stock and identify on that structure where that stock is being placed at with a part of this strategy?
[33:28] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Yes.
[33:29] \[SPEAKER_01\]: Now, we don't have enough time to talk about that today, but do you teach in your platform how to assess which one that is in?
[33:36] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Yeah, we do and we have to because for instance, with the accelerator, we know that's the part of our portfolio to get better returns, which you're going to also take more risk there.
[33:47] \[SPEAKER_00\]: So if every new stock you're considering and into your portfolio is an accelerator, well now you might have a problem because you may be overly exposed and if the market goes in the opposite direction, you're going to see greater losses than you would if you were
[34:05] \[SPEAKER_00\]: So you do have to evaluate where you want to put it.
[34:08] \[SPEAKER_01\]: Value, structure, I've always said this, well-building, getting true financial freedom is always about the strategy.
[34:17] \[SPEAKER_01\]: And y'all, I think this is probably one of my most favorite shows because he gave us the structure to understand how to build the right portfolio.
[34:27] \[SPEAKER_01\]: Now here's the thing.

[35:11] \[SPEAKER_01\]: Like our kids should know this structure, they may not be investing in it, but by the time they turn 18, they should have this structure already near portfolio that you pass off to them so hey, go continue it.
