I think it's time to make it more appealing for potential buyers. Real estate can be quite the rollercoaster! the stress and uncertainty are getting to me. I think I'll cut rents to attract potential buyers and exit the market, but i'm at crossroads if to allocate the entire $680k liquidity value to my stock portfolio?
"Overall, buyers hold a lot of the cards right now, and sellers are having to give out more concessions to close a deal." All the best, buying on sale is actually one of the best ways to invest in stocks, and advisors are ideally suited for such task
Until the Fed clamps down even further I think we're going to see hysteria due to rampant inflation. If you are in cross roads or need sincere advise on the best moves to take now with financial markets will be best you seek a fin-professional with fiduciary responsibilities who knows about mortgage-backed securities for proper guidance.

I've owned NVDA for over 8 years. It's been up and down, but I believe in Jensen Huang and will stick with NVDA until Jensen says otherwise. I know that sounds crazy, but when the financial statements/Jensen, (same to me) tell me to sell, I will. I'm sure I won't sell at the top, but that's OK
you’re right! The current market might give opportunities to maximize profit within a short term, but in order to execute such strategy , you must be a skilled practitioner
The best course of action if you lack market knowledge is to ask a consultant or investing coach for guidance or assistance. Speaking with a consultant helped me stay afloat in the market and grow my portfolio to about 65% since January, even though I know it sounds obvious or generic. I believe that is the most effective way to enter the business at the moment.
Thank you for this tip. It was easy to find your coach. Did my due diligence on her before scheduling a phone call with her. She seems proficient considering her resume.
I like investing in close-end funds that pay monthly dividends. The trick is to hold long term and reinvest the monthly dividends plus buy more shares on a monthly basis or when ever you can afford to. This can be easily done because close-end funds are bought and sold on the stock market just like regular stock. That’d be enough to create a portfolio that would pay you between $50k to $70k in dividend income
Just because there are opportunities in the market doesn’t mean you should go in blindly. To understand the potential factors that contribute to your financial growth, I'll advise you to seek the help of a professional
I wholeheartedly concur; I'm 60 years old, just retired, and have about $1,250,000 in non-retirement assets. Compared to the whole value of my portfolio during the last three years, I have no debt and a very little amount of money in retirement accounts. To be completely honest, the information provided by invt-advisors can only be ignored but not neglected. Simply undertake research to choose a trustworthy one.

I have a 3 fund portfolio consisting of 33% S&P, 33% Total stock, and 33% international. I feel a need to focus on complete growth so I went 100% stocks, but does the SP500 and TSM overlap too much to make sense holding both? However I’ve been in the red for a month now. I work hard for my money, so investing is making me a nervous sad wreck. I don’t know if I should sell everything, sit and just wait but watching my portfolio dwindle away is such an eye -sore.
Concentrate on two main objectives. First, keep yourself safe by knowing when to sell stocks in order to limit losses and maximize gains. Second, get ready to benefit from market changes. I advise consulting a CFP or other professional for advice.
Exactly why i enjoy my day to day market decisions being guided by a portfolio-coach, seeing that their entire skillset is built around going long and short at the same time both employing risk for its asymmetrical upside and laying off risk as a hedge against the inevitable downward turns, coupled with the exclusive information/analysis they have, it's near impossible to not outperform, been using a portfolio-coach for over 2years+ and I've netted over a million dollars.
I think this is something I should do, but I've been stalling for a long time now. I don't really know which firm to work with; I feel they are all the same but it seems you’ve got it all worked out with the firm you work with so i surely wouldn’t mind a recommendation.
I definitely share your sentiment about these firms. Finding financial advisors like Marisa Breton Dollard who can assist you shape your portfolio would be a very creative option. There will be difficult times ahead, and prudent personal money management will be essential to navigating them.
Marisa has the appearance of being a great authority in her profession. I looked her up online and found her website, which I reviewed and went through to learn more about her credentials, academic background, and employment. She has a fiduciary duty to protect my best interests. I sent her an email outlining my objectives and also booked a session with her; thanks for sharing.
I was advised to diversify my portfolio among several assets such as stocks and bonds since this can protect my portfolio for retirement of about $150k. I want to know: Do I keep contributing to my portfolio in these unstable markets, or do I look into alternative sectors?
the strategies are quite rigorous for the regular-Joe. As a matter of fact, they are mostly successfully carried out by pros who have had a great deal of skillset/knowledge to pull such trades off.
You have a very valid point, I started investing on my own and for a long time, the market was really ripping me off. I decided to hire a CFA, even though I was skeptical at first, and I beat the market by more than 9%. I thought it was a fluke until it happened two years in a row, and so I’ve been sticking to investing via an analyst.

Markets looks like 2015-16. Probably going back to all time highs, but will probably go sideways until fed signals rate cut, Recently sold 25% of my portfolio comprising of plummeting stocks that were recommended by certain financial RUclipsrs, quite devastating!
@@Jaymilnere Exactly, why I stopped taking financial advise from RUclipsrs, because in reality I end up with a collection of confusing stocks. Whereas, all I needed was a real market expert to have made over $650,000 in less than 2 years.

@@Angelavaldess I’m a Travel-Nurse, and my job doesn’t permit me the time to properly analyze my holdings/evaluate stocks myself, so I’ve had a fiduciary " Alicia Estela Cabouli'' " actively restructuring my portfolio for the past 4 years
I'm curious, for someone with less than $80,000 to invest, how would you recommend we enter the market? I am open to study some traders and copy their strategy rather than investing myself and losing money emotionally. What's your take on this approach?
Accurate asset allocation is crucial, and some individuals use hedging strategies or allocate part of their portfolio to defensive assets for market downturns. Expert guidance is vital for achieving this. This approach has helped me stay financially secure for over five years, yielding nearly $1 million in returns on investments.
There are many independent advisors to choose from. But I work with Monica Shawn Marti and we've been working together for almost four years and she's fantastic. You could pursue her if she meets your requirements. I agree with her.
It's a common misconception that when a stock you buy skyrockets, the smart thing to do is sell it (or at least sell some of it) to lock in your profits. But the context matters. If the stock has increased sharply because the business is performing exceptionally well, it could still be a bargain. I'm still looking for companies to make additions to my $350K portfolio, to boost performance. Here for ideas...
I think the next big thing will be A.I. For enduring growth akin to META, it's vital to avoid impulsive decisions driven by short-term fluctuations. Prioritize patience and a long-term perspective most importantly consider financial advisory for informed buying and selling decisions.
A lot of folks downplay the role of advlsors until being burnt by their own emotions. I remember couple summers back, after my lengthy divorce, I needed a good boost to help my business stay afloat, hence I researched for licensed advisors and came across someone of utmost qualifications. She's helped grow my reserve notwithstanding inflation, from $275k to $850k.
This is definitely considerable! think you could suggest any professional/advisors i can get on the phone with? i'm in dire need of proper portfolio allocation

My biggest irk with ETFs is the lack of optimization;changes in any given stock in the ETF can drag your portfolio down. While dividends can provide immediate income, the true power lies in the compounding effect over many years. But in general, I think the stock market isn't showing any sign of slowdown and I'm still looking for companies to make additions to my $350K portfolio, to boost performance. Here for ideas...

I think investors should always put their cash to work, especially In 2024, we'll start to see more market diversification. I'm hoping to invest about $350k of my savings in stocks this year. Hope to make millions in 2024.
Since risk is at an all-time high right now, perhaps you should be a little more patient but remember the bigger the risk the bigger the results. Alternatively, you can consult a trained financial expert for strategy.
Yeah, financial advisors could make a lot of difference, particularly in a market such as this. Stocks are pretty unstable at the moment, but if you do the right math, you should be just fine. Bloomberg and other finance media have been recording cases of folks gaining over 250k just in a matter of weeks/couple months, so I think there are a lot of wealth transfer in this downtime if you know where to look. I have been using an FA since 2019, and I return at least $121k ROI, and this does not include capital gain.
My CFA ’’ Sharon Ann Meny , a renowned figure in her line of work. I recommend researching her credentials further. She has many years of experience and is a valuable resource for anyone looking to navigate the financial market..!
I’m in the too frothy camp and remember the internet bubble well. There’s a reason Buffet is sitting on $180B of cash and not buying anything. If it’s good enough for him then it is for me too. I’ll currently hang with a higher position in t bills and then reevaluate after the correction.
Why not just buy, and have a cautious stop loss enabled? You will get the benefit of possible profits, and you can just exit if it starts correcting. You'll be in a much better position than without buyign.
The comparison of the mag7 to those 1999 stocks isn't really fair as all of the mag7 have incredible cash flows and none of those other stocks from 1999 did.
Yeah I agree. It's hard to see the mag 7 fail. They have grown into internet/tech giants and AI falls right into their wheel house. I can't see any small companies finding an AI niche before the mag 7, even then before they are just bought out anyway
Literally! The top '99 stocks were mainly startups or companies focusing on random things (e.g. pets, toys) who moved onto the new thing that was the internet. Compared to now, the Mag 7 (except Tesla) are all super well established companies who were already at the top for the last couple of decades (pretty much since that same internet bubble) and who've been at the cutting edge of new tech and been very profitable due to that for a long time. Even if/when the AI hype dies down, companies like Google and Apple aren't simply going to lose all of their value just based off that. Now, all the new "AI startups" popping up everywhere due to the hype? Sure, they're probably not gonna last long. But just like Microsoft survived the 2001 crash and went back to being profitable, Google, Apple, Nvidia are also likely to weather the upcoming AI crash.
Nobody is saying that they are at risk of failing as companies (well, at least if you don't consider Tesla). Only that their insane PEs are due for a correction.
@@sociolocomtsac I held back from investing last autumn as everyone thought there would be a correction. But it didn't happen and I missed out on some good gains. The problem is nobody knows when the correction will happen and while you're sitting waiting on the sidelines making 5%pa you could have made 12% in 5 months in a global tracker.
@@APT4Tech Indeed--they are hugely exploiting the mental health crisis. They were recently found to be illegally selling private mental health data to 3rd parties.
As a value investor, I prioritize risk management and capital preservation over aggressive pursuit of maximum gains. Ensuring longevity and stability in the market is of utmost importance.
From $7K to $45K that's the minimum range of profit return every week I thinks it's not a bad one for me, now I have enough to pay bills and take care of my family.
Juliana' heidi understanding of market indicators is impressive. She knows exactly when to enter and exit trades for maximum profits. her siignals are top notch..
Don’t be confuse buying the dip in a bear market, with guaranteed future returns. Just because that company is down 60%+ from ATH does NOT make it a sound long-term investment. Make sure you’re investing in great companies. kudos to Juliana heidi.
I Think Google will suffer from ai search engines from meta and others. Tesla could create tesla map and etc. Almost all their products can be at risk ....
Thank you for your openness regarding mental health. It is such an important topic for wellbeing, I am glad you mentioned it 🙏 A heartful thank from Switzerland for your high quality content! Go on like this, it is very appreciated☺️
Thanks for talking about your tough times in 2023. We have all been there at some point, and I agree it is foolish not to take advantage of help when it is now just a click away. Very informative video.
The comment by Howard Marks together with your explanation is, indeed, a wonderful summary of the situation. The idea of AI will live on and move on to change the world like a steam engine or the internet did. But the actors who build it and attempt to profit from it will change a lot. Damn, stock market investment is *so* close to gambling, even when you're trying to invest in value.
It's sad how difficult things have become in the present generation. I was wondering how to utilise some money I had. I used some of it for e-commerce business, but that sank. I'm thinking of how to use what's left to invest, but I don't really know which way to go.
Yeah, things may be hard right now, but I've come to realize both bear and bull market, recessions and economic boom, all provide opportunities to make high gains, I used to call bluff on folks that bragged about making a fortune from such down-markets until I happened to do so myself
With my demanding job, I lack time for investment analysis. For seven years, a fiduciary has managed my portfolio, adapting to market conditions, enabling successful navigation and informed decisions. Consider a similar approach.

Great content! The comparison of today's AI market to past bubbles is very eye-opening. It reinforces the importance of grounding investment decisions in realistic expectations rather than future promises.
1:47 As a Tesla investor, personally loving most of their business still being autos--a highly cyclic industry--in the worst interest rate environment in over 20 years. Feels like the broad market trends are unreasonably suppressing it while FSD is a completely different and potentially much more lucrative AI play than the other software AI plays of LLMs.
Unless the seller just needs money, whenever a stock is traded, one party will lose. I sell my stocks because I think they will go down and I need to get out. Someone else will buy my stocks, because they think they will go up and they wanna take the ride. One of us is always wrong. Or am I missing something?
I would like to congratulate you on this great video especially about mental health Showing vulnerability is the ultimate exhibition of strength Well done to have such maturity not only on financial prowess but also on approach to well being !!! Keep the great work and great spirit !! Rob from down under
Regardless of ai i have held nvidia, Microsoft, alphabet, amsl & tsm for a number of years. They are solid companies in my opinion. I do also own some very boring companies like johnson and johnson to add stability to my portfolio & schwab high dividend fund. I'll have to reflect some more. My portfolio is highly concentrated and doing great. I'll have to reflect
I think this was a below par video: a few months? ago there was on this channel an Indian guy explaining that NVIDIA was truly very high priced, but the others of the Magnificent 7 were valuated on the high side. You explained that NVIDIA needed to increase their profits by 40 % for many years to come. In this video there should have been more explanation of the multiples of the other Magnificant 7 stocks and put them better into perspective.
Inflation drives up prices and profits, profits drive up stocks. AI investment will lead to profits. AI investment drives up semiconductors, primarily NVDA. Tech has worldwide sales and aren’t totally reliant on U.S. economy. Value investors don’t get it.
Basically: 1) Tech stocks overvalued by traditional metrics & 2) Tech stocks not overvalued by growth metrics. However there is also #3: Stocks have psychological value beyond financial metrics - e.g. providing satisfaction, happiness, social status, education etc
I don't think that the stock market is in a bubble. If it was in a bubble the stock market would outperform the M2 Money supply signifficantly. If you divide the stock marked through the M2 Supply you will see that that is just slightly above.
Moving the trail foot back probably provided better bracing for the right side of the body, compared to feet that are parralel? Going to try this as soon as I can get back to the range.
I'm not gonna claim that the seven aren't a speculative investment currently, but the comparison to the Dotcom bubble is a bit lacking. Most of the companies that went bust back then were start-ups with half baked ideas, and inexperienced leaders and staff, whereas companies like Apple and Microsoft are well established innovation machines that predictably churn out profits. They have an immense amount of market power, which makes it hard for new players to challenge their hegemony. I agree that their stocks probably are overpriced currently, but investors are unlikely to lose everything as was so often the case when the Dotcom bubble burst. I think it's realistic to expect a correction at some point, perhaps soon, but I doubt it'll be a total bust, especially not in the long run as the potential of AI becomes clearer.
Anymore than 5% stocks I cannot sleep at night, I remember the Credit Union & oil collapse in the 80's, I remember the Savings & Loan collapse in the 90's, I remember the 2002 & 2008 stock market crashes, I am planning a Hobo lifestyle after the next crash.
FANG had Netflix and no Apple. And MSFT and NVDA were overlooked just a few years ago. TSLA always has haters. If you believe, buy QQQ and in the long run you’ll do well.
It’s good that you are regulated re financial advice, and this makes me more inclined to trust you. Unfortunately, taking a BetterHelp sponsorship sinks that confidence drastically. This is not good for your brand, please act more critically when accepting sponsorship deals.
Let’s revisit this video after NVDA earnings on Wednesday and again in a year. Growth has already slowed down from triple digit to double digit Q-o-Q number to single digit growth in earnings when it comes to expectations. With margins already over 75% this should come down I expect. What’s on the other side of this curve losing steepness? 😅
Putting well-earned money into the stock market can be over emphasized for first-time investors, unlike a bank where interest is sure thing! Well, basically times are uncertain, the market is out of control, and banks are gradually failing. I am working on a ballpark estimate of $5M for retirement, and I have a good 6-figure loaded up for this, could there be any opportunity for a boomer like me? I'm nearly 60.
First comment after a lot of watching. I love the content generally and it is fantastic. My first and only gripe so far is the ben Graham comment at the end. My interpretation of Graham is he would see the business earlier in the sustainability part, this is a bit yesterday news. Their pe is outrageous and though it's unknown if or how much legs nvidia has, I'm not so sure it's a graham style endorsement
Totally agree. I find AI advances to be too unpredictable to know who or if any current big software companies from magnificent 7 will benefit from it. Right now it just seems they are required to invest more into AI to compete with each other, but none of the 6 get extra returns from it.
I’m putting some bucks twice a month in NVDIA since a couple of years ago. I have trimmed NVDIA’s earnings a couple of times in the last year: in 479$ on August 2023 and 903$ a couple of weeks ago. I have had serious issues selling stocks in my life, but I don’t know why I consider NVDIA in a bubble and I haven’t had any issue selling that stock. Maybe I’m wrong… :(
I think the only company I would feel good investing in is Nvidia because they're just way ahead of the curve when it comes to providing the hardware needed for AI. But even then I'm pretty sure we're in a bubble already that will burst eventually bringing down even Nvidia's stock price for a moment. But long term feels like it'll always be a good investment.
This is exactly where Peter lynch tip in investing is going to come into play especially for people in tech or engineers having the advantage or expertise when it comes to AI. Ai has been literally a buzzword and falsely claimed in a lot of products. So being an engineer in that space helps to give an edge on products we believe will add great value or not.
I think there are big differences as well. The internet is more of a new invention. A new platform... It was all or nothing at the time. AI is an application on that platform (innovation). The value that AI adds could take a little bit more time but i dont see google, meta and Microsoft fall through the bottom because of that. The value and growth even without AI is still very solid... It might go down when the hype bubble pops but i think they'll be here for the longrun
AI is certainly comparable to the internet in that it impacts every aspect of our lives and provides a very powerful tool. But I agree that it's too early in the development to have certainty regarding which companies will benefit the greatest. Nvidia 'seem' like a no-brainer, but AOL also 'seemed' like a no-brainer in the early days of the internet. Every industry will benefit from AI, but my guess is that certain healthcare companies will benefit the most, mainly because most healthcare systems are failing right now......broken so badly they are having a net-negative impact on public health. I can almost see AI riding in like the calvary to save the millions of healthcare-deprived folks, and producing incredible benefits in terms of very early disease detection and superior medical services at a much reduced cost relative to current levels. We'll see.......
Recently bought some recommended stocks and now they are just penny stocks. There seems to be more negative portfolios in the last 3rd half of 2023 with markets tumbling, soaring inflation, and banks going out of business. My concern is how can the rapid interest-rate hike be of favor to a value investor, or is it better avoiding stocks for a while?
Great story...Believe it or not, this is no joke, Just maybe the stock market is one giant bubble, get the services of a pro (that way, you give little room for error and get tailored investments). Made my first million earlier this year this way. Good luck
I would say it is and Honestly, this concerns me and has left me uneasy. Especially this potential depression, no more a recession. I'm unsure about my $130K account strategy, considering the uncertainty of this whole recession mostly.
i am going through the same, lost my job since 2021 and now living from my saving & at the same time trying to make more $ from stock market. All the best to you & support you.

I think this is something I should do, but I've been stalling for a long time now. I don't really know which firm to work with; I feel they are all the same but it seems you’ve got it all worked out with the firm you work with so i surely wouldn’t mind a recommendation.
I definitely share your sentiment about these firms. Finding financial advisors like Marisa Breton Dollard who can assist you shape your portfolio would be a very creative option. There will be difficult times ahead, and prudent personal money management will be essential to navigating them.
Marisa has the appearance of being a great authority in her profession. I looked her up online and found her website, which I reviewed and went through to learn more about her credentials, academic background, and employment. She has a fiduciary duty to protect my best interests. I sent her an email outlining my objectives and also booked a session with her; thanks for sharing.
I was advised to diversify my portfolio among several assets such as stocks and bonds since this can protect my portfolio for retirement of about $150k. I want to know: Do I keep contributing to my portfolio in these unstable markets, or do I look into alternative sectors?
the strategies are quite rigorous for the regular-Joe. As a matter of fact, they are mostly successfully carried out by pros who have had a great deal of skillset/knowledge to pull such trades off.
You have a very valid point, I started investing on my own and for a long time, the market was really ripping me off. I decided to hire a CFA, even though I was skeptical at first, and I beat the market by more than 9%. I thought it was a fluke until it happened two years in a row, and so I’ve been sticking to investing via an analyst.
Please can you leave the info of your lnvestment advsor here? I’m in dire need for one

Markets looks like 2015-16. Probably going back to all time highs, but will probably go sideways until fed signals rate cut, Recently sold 25% of my portfolio comprising of plummeting stocks that were recommended by certain financial RUclipsrs, quite devastating!
Not their fault, buying the dip does not guarantee a rebound. Next time consult a market expert instead of a random youtuber.
@@Jaymilnere Exactly, why I stopped taking financial advise from RUclipsrs, because in reality I end up with a collection of confusing stocks. Whereas, all I needed was a real market expert to have made over $650,000 in less than 2 years.

@@Angelavaldess I’m a Travel-Nurse, and my job doesn’t permit me the time to properly analyze my holdings/evaluate stocks myself, so I’ve had a fiduciary " Alicia Estela Cabouli'' " actively restructuring my portfolio for the past 4 years
I'm curious, for someone with less than $80,000 to invest, how would you recommend we enter the market? I am open to study some traders and copy their strategy rather than investing myself and losing money emotionally. What's your take on this approach?
Accurate asset allocation is crucial, and some individuals use hedging strategies or allocate part of their portfolio to defensive assets for market downturns. Expert guidance is vital for achieving this. This approach has helped me stay financially secure for over five years, yielding nearly $1 million in returns on investments.
There are many independent advisors to choose from. But I work with Monica Shawn Marti and we've been working together for almost four years and she's fantastic. You could pursue her if she meets your requirements. I agree with her.
It's a common misconception that when a stock you buy skyrockets, the smart thing to do is sell it (or at least sell some of it) to lock in your profits. But the context matters. If the stock has increased sharply because the business is performing exceptionally well, it could still be a bargain. I'm still looking for companies to make additions to my $350K portfolio, to boost performance. Here for ideas...
I think the next big thing will be A.I. For enduring growth akin to META, it's vital to avoid impulsive decisions driven by short-term fluctuations. Prioritize patience and a long-term perspective most importantly consider financial advisory for informed buying and selling decisions.
A lot of folks downplay the role of advlsors until being burnt by their own emotions. I remember couple summers back, after my lengthy divorce, I needed a good boost to help my business stay afloat, hence I researched for licensed advisors and came across someone of utmost qualifications. She's helped grow my reserve notwithstanding inflation, from $275k to $850k.
This is definitely considerable! think you could suggest any professional/advisors i can get on the phone with? i'm in dire need of proper portfolio allocation

My biggest irk with ETFs is the lack of optimization;changes in any given stock in the ETF can drag your portfolio down. While dividends can provide immediate income, the true power lies in the compounding effect over many years.

I think investors should always put their cash to work, especially In 2024, we'll start to see more market diversification. I'm hoping to invest about $350k of my savings in stocks this year. Hope to make millions in 2024.
Since risk is at an all-time high right now, perhaps you should be a little more patient but remember the bigger the risk the bigger the results. Alternatively, you can consult a trained financial expert for strategy.
Yeah, financial advisors could make a lot of difference, particularly in a market such as this. Stocks are pretty unstable at the moment, but if you do the right math, you should be just fine. Bloomberg and other finance media have been recording cases of folks gaining over 250k just in a matter of weeks/couple months, so I think there are a lot of wealth transfer in this downtime if you know where to look. I have been using an FA since 2019, and I return at least $121k ROI, and this does not include capital gain.
My CFA ’’ Sharon Ann Meny , a renowned figure in her line of work. I recommend researching her credentials further. She has many years of experience and is a valuable resource for anyone looking to navigate the financial market..!
I've been hearing people who don't even follow stocks talk about how good their account is doing. That's always a warning sign.

I’m in the too frothy camp and remember the internet bubble well. There’s a reason Buffet is sitting on $180B of cash and not buying anything. If it’s good enough for him then it is for me too. I’ll currently hang with a higher position in t bills and then reevaluate after the correction.
Me too.
Why not just buy, and have a cautious stop loss enabled? You will get the benefit of possible profits, and you can just exit if it starts correcting. You'll be in a much better position than without buyign.
$200B now.
@@LeopardipzgYou know better than Warren Buffet?
@@LeopardipzgIF your stop loss finds buyers in the chaos that occurs at crash time…
The comparison of the mag7 to those 1999 stocks isn't really fair as all of the mag7 have incredible cash flows and none of those other stocks from 1999 did.
Yeah I agree. It's hard to see the mag 7 fail. They have grown into internet/tech giants and AI falls right into their wheel house. I can't see any small companies finding an AI niche before the mag 7, even then before they are just bought out anyway
Literally! The top '99 stocks were mainly startups or companies focusing on random things (e.g. pets, toys) who moved onto the new thing that was the internet. Compared to now, the Mag 7 (except Tesla) are all super well established companies who were already at the top for the last couple of decades (pretty much since that same internet bubble) and who've been at the cutting edge of new tech and been very profitable due to that for a long time. Even if/when the AI hype dies down, companies like Google and Apple aren't simply going to lose all of their value just based off that. Now, all the new "AI startups" popping up everywhere due to the hype? Sure, they're probably not gonna last long. But just like Microsoft survived the 2001 crash and went back to being profitable, Google, Apple, Nvidia are also likely to weather the upcoming AI crash.
Nobody is saying that they are at risk of failing as companies (well, at least if you don't consider Tesla).
Only that their insane PEs are due for a correction.

The only answer to this question is to buy the haystack and to avoid betting on individual companies. Buy a global index tracker.

The market is collectively overvalued, while individual stocks can be cheap for whatever reason in the short term.
@@sociolocomtsac I held back from investing last autumn as everyone thought there would be a correction. But it didn't happen and I missed out on some good gains. The problem is nobody knows when the correction will happen and while you're sitting waiting on the sidelines making 5%pa you could have made 12% in 5 months in a global tracker.

Thanks for talking about your tough times in 2023. We have all been there at some point, and I agree it is foolish not to take advantage of help when it is now just a click away. Very informative video.
The comment by Howard Marks together with your explanation is, indeed, a wonderful summary of the situation. The idea of AI will live on and move on to change the world like a steam engine or the internet did. But the actors who build it and attempt to profit from it will change a lot. Damn, stock market investment is *so* close to gambling, even when you're trying to invest in value.
Glad you are feeling better

Yeah, things may be hard right now, but I've come to realize both bear and bull market, recessions and economic boom, all provide opportunities to make high gains, I used to call bluff on folks that bragged about making a fortune from such down-markets until I happened to do so myself

How would this be affected when a stock split happens effectively causing the price to technically come down.
Stay within your circle of competence.
Great content! The comparison of today's AI market to past bubbles is very eye-opening. It reinforces the importance of grounding investment decisions in realistic expectations rather than future promises.
1:47 As a Tesla investor, personally loving most of their business still being autos--a highly cyclic industry--in the worst interest rate environment in over 20 years. Feels like the broad market trends are unreasonably suppressing it while FSD is a completely different and potentially much more lucrative AI play than the other software AI plays of LLMs.
I'm in the same camp. I would be very cautious about investing in the AI. I appreciate there's a video like this not buying into the widespread craze
Unless the seller just needs money, whenever a stock is traded, one party will lose. I sell my stocks because I think they will go down and I need to get out. Someone else will buy my stocks, because they think they will go up and they wanna take the ride. One of us is always wrong.
Or am I missing something?
Nope, you're right.

If you had bought 10K in Apple stock during the 2000 bubble high, it would be worth 2M today.
Apple wasn’t magnificent 7 in 2000
Yeah, if you knew beforehand that you should choose Apple and not the dozens of other companies that were hyped that time and then went bankrupt.
While that might be true (I didn't look it up) it might be 10m if you bought it in 2002
I bought 3k of Binance in 2017,would be 2m today. Shit happens
I think this was a below par video: a few months? ago there was on this channel an Indian guy explaining that NVIDIA was truly very high priced, but the others of the Magnificent 7 were valuated on the high side. You explained that NVIDIA needed to increase their profits by 40 % for many years to come.
In this video there should have been more explanation of the multiples of the other Magnificant 7 stocks and put them better into perspective.
Inflation drives up prices and profits, profits drive up stocks. AI investment will lead to profits. AI investment drives up semiconductors, primarily NVDA. Tech has worldwide sales and aren’t totally reliant on U.S. economy. Value investors don’t get it.
The most important thing.
Must be Sunday, annual Mark's bubble talk
so true
😂
Basically: 1) Tech stocks overvalued by traditional metrics & 2) Tech stocks not overvalued by growth metrics. However there is also #3: Stocks have psychological value beyond financial metrics - e.g. providing satisfaction, happiness, social status, education etc
Share cost have zero correlation to company value or revenues. It’s just a price someone is willing to pay
We can change it, and we will
I think going into the M7 now is too late. Wait for the correction in something cheap with decent yield and get in cheaper then.
I don't think that the stock market is in a bubble. If it was in a bubble the stock market would outperform the M2 Money supply signifficantly. If you divide the stock marked through the M2 Supply you will see that that is just slightly above.
😂😂😂ok
Moving the trail foot back probably provided better bracing for the right side of the body, compared to feet that are parralel? Going to try this as soon as I can get back to the range.
I'm not gonna claim that the seven aren't a speculative investment currently, but the comparison to the Dotcom bubble is a bit lacking. Most of the companies that went bust back then were start-ups with half baked ideas, and inexperienced leaders and staff, whereas companies like Apple and Microsoft are well established innovation machines that predictably churn out profits. They have an immense amount of market power, which makes it hard for new players to challenge their hegemony. I agree that their stocks probably are overpriced currently, but investors are unlikely to lose everything as was so often the case when the Dotcom bubble burst. I think it's realistic to expect a correction at some point, perhaps soon, but I doubt it'll be a total bust, especially not in the long run as the potential of AI becomes clearer.
Great content as always thank you. However, please vet your sponsors I think you owe it your viewers at the very least.
I would say not every magnificent 7 stock is overvalued. Google and meta arent

It’s good that you are regulated re financial advice, and this makes me more inclined to trust you. Unfortunately, taking a BetterHelp sponsorship sinks that confidence drastically. This is not good for your brand, please act more critically when accepting sponsorship deals.
Let’s revisit this video after NVDA earnings on Wednesday and again in a year. Growth has already slowed down from triple digit to double digit Q-o-Q number to single digit growth in earnings when it comes to expectations. With margins already over 75% this should come down I expect. What’s on the other side of this curve losing steepness? 😅
Putting well-earned money into the stock market can be over emphasized for first-time investors, unlike a bank where interest is sure thing! Well, basically times are uncertain, the market is out of control, and banks are gradually failing. I am working on a ballpark estimate of $5M for retirement, and I have a good 6-figure loaded up for this, could there be any opportunity for a boomer like me? I'm nearly 60.
First comment after a lot of watching. I love the content generally and it is fantastic. My first and only gripe so far is the ben Graham comment at the end. My interpretation of Graham is he would see the business earlier in the sustainability part, this is a bit yesterday news. Their pe is outrageous and though it's unknown if or how much legs nvidia has, I'm not so sure it's a graham style endorsement
Is the Stock Market One Giant Bubble? YES... YES it is. Hahahahah
So sad to know Charlie is gone. Would have loved to hear his thoughts rn. RIP
There is always an easy answer
Totally agree. I find AI advances to be too unpredictable to know who or if any current big software companies from magnificent 7 will benefit from it. Right now it just seems they are required to invest more into AI to compete with each other, but none of the 6 get extra returns from it.
I’m putting some bucks twice a month in NVDIA since a couple of years ago. I have trimmed NVDIA’s earnings a couple of times in the last year: in 479$ on August 2023 and 903$ a couple of weeks ago. I have had serious issues selling stocks in my life, but I don’t know why I consider NVDIA in a bubble and I haven’t had any issue selling that stock. Maybe I’m wrong… :(
Commodities are the new leaders. Uranium miners / gold miners / etc.
The same could be said for bitcoin!
I think the only company I would feel good investing in is Nvidia because they're just way ahead of the curve when it comes to providing the hardware needed for AI. But even then I'm pretty sure we're in a bubble already that will burst eventually bringing down even Nvidia's stock price for a moment. But long term feels like it'll always be a good investment.
This is exactly where Peter lynch tip in investing is going to come into play especially for people in tech or engineers having the advantage or expertise when it comes to AI. Ai has been literally a buzzword and falsely claimed in a lot of products. So being an engineer in that space helps to give an edge on products we believe will add great value or not.
I think there are big differences as well. The internet is more of a new invention. A new platform... It was all or nothing at the time. AI is an application on that platform (innovation). The value that AI adds could take a little bit more time but i dont see google, meta and Microsoft fall through the bottom because of that. The value and growth even without AI is still very solid... It might go down when the hype bubble pops but i think they'll be here for the longrun
AI is certainly comparable to the internet in that it impacts every aspect of our lives and provides a very powerful tool. But I agree that it's too early in the development to have certainty regarding which companies will benefit the greatest. Nvidia 'seem' like a no-brainer, but AOL also 'seemed' like a no-brainer in the early days of the internet. Every industry will benefit from AI, but my guess is that certain healthcare companies will benefit the most, mainly because most healthcare systems are failing right now......broken so badly they are having a net-negative impact on public health. I can almost see AI riding in like the calvary to save the millions of healthcare-deprived folks, and producing incredible benefits in terms of very early disease detection and superior medical services at a much reduced cost relative to current levels. We'll see.......
Great insight! Thanks for watching :)
You just gotta love videos on RUclips about stuff that "nobody" sees....
Recently bought some recommended stocks and now they are just penny stocks. There seems to be more negative portfolios in the last 3rd half of 2023 with markets tumbling, soaring inflation, and banks going out of business. My concern is how can the rapid interest-rate hike be of favor to a value investor, or is it better avoiding stocks for a while?
Our whole economic system is based on constant growth, which is of course ultimately unsustainable.
Great story...Believe it or not, this is no joke, Just maybe the stock market is one giant bubble, get the services of a pro (that way, you give little room for error and get tailored investments). Made my first million earlier this year this way. Good luck
