The daily compound interest lady is a fool. If she were more disciplined , and kept her money interest for an extra year she would have $783 billion, or another year (4), she would have $1,079 trillion. Who's laughing now, if she were more disciplined she'd have several times the global economy.

Only problem with her statement is that many people with new money DO want the recognition they think will come with sharing how. The thing is, their "secret golden goose" invariably involves a crap ton of work up front. Indeed, 99% either don't want to do that work, or won't be able to keep it up.

Last year I only made $399,999. Had to sell a kidney, put down the dog and pull life support on my dying mother to make ends meet. Really is a struggle when you're poor.
LOLOLOL...Before you unplug Mom, all you need to do is get 3 10 baggers in a row and then take those profits and earn 2% per day...after that compounds for a while, you should be able buy yourself a new kidney, dog, and possibly a new mom; depending of course on how long you have to wait for those 10 baggers ;-)
@pinuyasha, you just haven't been disciplined enough, had you used the softwares with a 2% daily return you'd possibly even been able to buy your dog fresh meat (I think... 399k x 2% compounded over 250 days is like almost 1 million aka minimum wage right?)

Man it gets so infuriating how much misinformation is out there about markets and investing. Thank you for shedding some light on how ridiculous tik tok finance really has become
It sucks because the people that genuinely need good advice the most (low income w/ long work hours and limited free time) are even less likely to find it when you have all of this horrible information being posted and shared.
@@vertvlogs675 There are plenty of investor education material and some general advice available. Sadly, nobody wants to hear that managing money, whether your own or as a profession, is a skill. It takes time to learn and less entertaining than these tiktoks but you'll get the hang of it (or the basics at least) if you keep at it.
There's a reason he put NASDAQ into the name. I imagine a lot of people thought it would be similar to an ETF, bought in and got dumped on. Sad really.
You have to realise that the TikTok target audience is Lloyd and Harry from Dumb and Dumber so by saying 1 in 125k chance they hear "there's a chance". Thank God this is the only time I have been put through TikTok influencing !!
Also Chat GPT is not a knowledge tool nor proper AI. It is Language Prediction model. Yes it can 'code' based on language it learned on the internet. With all the flaws and risks with that involved.
I don't think he was trying to shoot down ChatGPT. He was trying to shoot down the single shot, "I just asked it for the best trading strategy and it made it! 😲" kind of BS. Obviously, there is a lot of code that could be written to do a lot of wonderful things, with ChatGPT. But it's a try/fail/try/fail/try/fail effort.
Because that’s what you have to do. The hard part is learning how the market moves and how the cycles work. But yeah… that’s not advice since it doesn’t really give you anything. You have to study and learn a lot of stuff in order to be able to do that. That’s like saying “well if you’re homeless, just buy a house” And it’s actually something that I’ve heard someone say😂😂
I love watching the moment Richard's brain concludes "this is so wrong." You see a blink and then his eyes drift to one side for just a moment. I live for those moments!
Thanks Richard for your outlook and empathy towards others. People are more than their salary, and it's great to hear this coming from someone in the finance space, which I believe often is filled with people who are biased think poor people are just lazy. You're a good cookie.
Appreciate that final comment, its something that I think a lot of people need to hear. People are defined by who they are not their monthly earnings or salary.
Richard was far too generous about 10X returns with crypto. Not only does the investor have to choose 3 investments that return 10X, they must invest 100% of their assets into EACH investment. I've been in the markets since 1998 and have been fortunate enough to have multiple 10X (and larger) returns over the years, but the idea of throwing every cent I have after each investment is overwhelmingly nauseating. Investing is NOT gambling. Risk management is ALWAYS priority #1. FANTASTIC video! 😀👍
And unlike with regular investing (where you can do your research first) you have to invest so early that you have no way to predict if a specific shitcoin will get rug pulled/pumped and dumped.
one of the biggest challenges with Quantitative models is that they are "situational". Once the situation that they were taking advantage of passes then they slowly become ineffective in their ability to predict market behavior and thus price direction. And the guy who used Pine Script just showed a back test, not actual results lol
I really like your videos and this time i exceptionally liked your outro where you said "never be ashamed of the amount of money you make.". You had a face of sincerity and this is a great message. I definitely am behind my peers in this area, but i often just go back to basics and realize things could be so much worse. Trying to just improve yourself is enough of a measuring stick vs looking at everyone elses success, the envy will drive you mad. Just focus on leveling up what you can do, the rest is noise
Love your channel, very grounded and sound advice. My family are chinese americans. When my parents came here , they were poor graduaate students who made $25/month back in China. But with dedicated and diligent investments, mostly in broad indexes and some real estate, they built up several millions over 25 years. I suffered along, but watch and learn from my dad, and now I'm able to expand upoon their success. There is no realistic easy way to riches, but there are lots of high probability to success roads that are long and often tough. But it's the journey that also instill the self decipline that one would need to keep thaf wealth.
Even professional ER people are just making informed guesses, and those guys grinded their ass off (or nepotism'd in) to their position, there's ultimately no way to predict the buying and selling behaviors of the entire market.
Just so it's said, the reason you should under no circumstances trust ChatGPT with any kind of trading is because it's an AI for talking. It talks well. That's nice, that's impressive, but that's the one thing it does exceptionally well. It's guessing at trading strategies or just copying one it was trained on. It's currently stuck in 2021 so it's most recent data says we're in a low interest, low inflation bull market. Large Language Models will bullshit you with unimaginable confidence about things that are easy to disprove. The more open to interpretation an answer is, the more likely you are to get royally screwed
I don’t really conceptually get the point of “owning” a part of a company if it never actually pays me. I still invest in index funds that include stocks that don’t pay dividends but I still don’t “get” it.
@@itsacorporatething Conceptually, you have a claim to a percentage of their value if they are to be liquidated or sold, and a claim to a percentage of their potential future distribution of wealth to owners. More concretely, if the company has one million dollars on a bank account and you own 1% of the company, then conceptually you own among other things 10,000 dollars of that 1 million. However, I agree things can get more complicated for example when you add that the company might not get sold or liquidated or distribute wealth to owners for the next 10 or 20 years. So you can argue that a share in such a company is in some sense worthless, because no money will actually come out of it and back to you. The only reason why it is worth anything is that other people is willing to pay you for the share, which is pure speculation and 'greater fool'-gambling :)
If you get 10$ of dividend, your company devalues in the same proportion (your share is worth 10$ less). Dividends are irrelevant. AND you pay tax on that
In all seriousness, that was really good advice to hear, especially from someone like you, Richard. I am not in a place where I want to be financially at my age, so it's really reassuring to hear that validation. I hope we all get to a point where we can provide for our families and communities enough to be comfortable. This life is short, and you can't take money with you.
I really like how you are very objective when evaluating those TikTok stuff. I mean, you aren't just disregarding everything they say and considered everything useless. But instead pick out the bad ideas from stuff that actually make sense. So yeah, as a result, it feels very educative. And less just for boosting viewer's ego by dismissing bad advice. For example, comparing stocks with dividends, and explaining the concept behind algo trading (low margin, low durability, constantly work on new algos) feels really helpful!
It just occurs to me that the salary of the US president is $400,000 a year. Fortunately, getting free room, board , and travel expense helps stretch out those $35,000 a month paychecks.
I just love these videos! Normally I’m no fan of reaction style videos and often find them boring and would rather watch the original video with no annoying commentary. However your reaction to these TikToks are absolutely hilarious and educational at the same time. Keep em coming!
Way to save the most ridiculous TikTok for last. You’re a failure for not making $400,000 a year? He doesn’t know how you can live on $35,000 a month? I don’t get how people can even say stuff like that with a straight face.
Your comment on the 2 year compound investment strategy. Why I don’t hit the “Join” button. Why I don’t discord. Why I don’t watch anyone who sells a course.
I have actually created a bot with chat gpt via python, but its not how RUclips channels make it look like, you gotta specify all the necessary parameters and it'll provide a code (you manually have to resolve the errors from it tho), but the code bot will be completely based on your strategy, the AI is not gonna make yourself any money by itself.
Thank you. In a sea of anxiety inducing bulls**t, this kind of video is a huge relief and extremely satisfying to hear. A breath of fresh air. Thanks again.
They will end up on WSB with loss p0 rn soon. People like those are the same morons that will buy these gurus "courses" or buy into their pump and dumps and end up broke.
Great video! Please keep making these, as it is an entertaining way to inform young people about the types of red flags to look out for in order to spot scams in the wild.
I appreciate your nod to salary not equaling happiness as well as the Plain Bagel breakdown of the FOMO hype others profit from spreading. (see what I did there?)
I love the contrast in fallacies here: If I can just 10x my money 3 times… which you can’t, those trades are just too unlikely. You’re lucky to get one, and it’ll still average out with all your other investments. Or if you just make 2% every day for two years… maybe it’s not hard to earn 2% in a day, but even if you hit that margin 99% of the time, your odds of doing it every day for two years are 0.00065%. I’m of the opinion that basic probability theory should be in the high school math curriculum for this exact reason.
Thanks for the input, Agent Bagel! Seriously, though, I always find myself checking your viewpoint on topics last to help make sense of complicated issues. Thank you for that.
As a Financial Economist I'm always surprised at the level of financial ignorance out there, even among learned professionals like doctors, lawyers, teachers, it is shocking to see people not understanding how simple concepts like compounding, leverage, margin, shares work 😅never underestimate a business degree, if you have it you are a gem in this new financial world
I love these Tik Tok reactions. There are far too many gurus out there. If someone has a really successful trading strategy, they're not going to be announcing it to everyone. A big part of that reason is that if someone has a great trading strategy, it becomes less effective as more people follow the same strategy up until it disappears all together. Beyond that, there are a lot of people that get lucky who then think they have an inside view of the "stock game," and so after making money with a trading strategy then decide to mortgage their house and risk their entire life savings only to find out that most successful trading strategies tend to be fairly short-lived. Someone who can consistently beat the market over decades of time is going to make the most money not by selling books and courses but by opening their own wealth management firm and picking up customers. Otherwise, investing is not necessarily meant to be exciting. Good investments with good wealth managers largely should be running in the background and growing over time. No one wants to hear it, but the best strategy is to live on less than what you make (the bigger that gap, the better), and invest more of your income every month (after making sure your high-interest debts are paid off and you have a really good emergency savings built). It's boring for the first few years, then after awhile, it's cool to see how much more it grows and what you have invested. Everyone else pushing these schemes is really just trying to sell a course.
8:04 no, it's not that common to multiply by 10 your money in cryptos, it happen sometime but only the first holders of those cryptos will multiply by 10 or more the amount of money they have invested, the others will not
In the long run, most if not all, cryptos will go to 0. Because it is largely useless and massively overvalued "industry". Also 9/10 are straight up scams.
I love the side eye while watching the videos give bad advice. It's like making eye contact with your favorite cousin at a family reunion when your drunk uncle says something crazy that you're absolutely going to talk about later 😂
You can tell how credible a TikToker is by whether they can keep their lip sync (the speaking audio matches their mouth) going for at least 30 seconds, and it's kinda nuts how many of them can't accomplish that. Pretty much every RUclipsr I've ever watched has that down pat, often for an hour long video, so yeah, guess how much effort that guy has put into his work, and how useful his advice is to you.
I prefer dividend stocks because I prefer getting the cash out because of that predictability. But yeah, thats a preference, not a right or wrong secret. Its all about your individual appetite for risk as an investor
It also depends on the tax code. Where i live dividends get taxed immediately while capital gain only gets taxed on sale, so you're losing a bit on compounding interest if you take the dividends route. For that reason i got an ETF that accumulates
"Don't ever feel embarrassed about how much money you make". I've just been checking your videos out a bit the past coupla days and this bit just earned you a subscriber. I really appreciate you saying this for all to hear
I smell a pump and dump scheme. Except he’s charging people to join his schemes, so he’s cashing in twice. You’d have to know when the dump is happening to make the money shorting them.

Recap by Tammy AI
I thought I was doing alright in life. Not amazing, but heading in the right direction. But now I know that I'm an abject failure for not making $400,000 a year.
To be fair it is hard to live on $400k a year when i have to pay property taxes on my multi million dollar house. Not to mention the insane insurance and maintenance on my 2 ferraris. I literally couldnt even add an addition to my house this year. Plus utilities are up! Can you imagine what i have to pay to heat a 20000 square foot house! I barely have enough to pay my team of maids, gardeners and pool boys. Just ridiculous.
I do admire the composure you keep while hearing all those bullshit from crappy people who should NOT be given any permission to talk about such relevant and delicate topics. What I also appreciate of you is your honesty: there's no shortcut to make easy money, but to have control over your spending habits, and rely on a professional who actually knows what they're doing. Keep the good work up!
9:59 Indeed, he was right, the stock did explode. Not in the right way though. Nice video as usual. It is cool that you add some further explaination aside their strategies to make it educational for us. Be safe out there too! :)
The way this man stares at the camera whenever anyone's chatting waffle has me DEAD (9:37) 😂😂😂 He reminds me so much of that little ginger kid who was talking about his grandpa and the superbowl during an interview 😭

Man it gets so infuriating how much misinformation is out there about markets and investing. Thank you for shedding some light on how ridiculous tik tok finance really has become
It sucks because the people that genuinely need good advice the most (low income w/ long work hours and limited free time) are even less likely to find it when you have all of this horrible information being posted and shared.
Markets, investing, politics, science… if there’s a profit to be gained by besmirching the truth you know someone out there’s doing it.
not just investing, but misinformation on social media goes for every sector. I personally don't trust anything I read or watch on tiktok.
@@vertvlogs675 There are plenty of investor education material and some general advice available. Sadly, nobody wants to hear that managing money, whether your own or as a profession, is a skill. It takes time to learn and less entertaining than these tiktoks but you'll get the hang of it (or the basics at least) if you keep at it.
I so agree. Keep up your thirst for reliable, educated information.
Penny stock guy was 100% running a pump & dump
yep
At least two of them.
There's a reason he put NASDAQ into the name. I imagine a lot of people thought it would be similar to an ETF, bought in and got dumped on. Sad really.
Boiler Room should be required viewing. A movie about pump and dumps with Vin Diesel
You have to realise that the TikTok target audience is Lloyd and Harry from Dumb and Dumber so by saying 1 in 125k chance they hear "there's a chance". Thank God this is the only time I have been put through TikTok influencing !!
So you're telling me there's a chance?!
Petey didn't even have a head!
This came exactly at my lunch break, thank you for that
You're not grinding hard enough if you take time for lunch breaks. Get that grindset on man.
@@putinski666 oh shut up
Also Chat GPT is not a knowledge tool nor proper AI. It is Language Prediction model. Yes it can 'code' based on language it learned on the internet. With all the flaws and risks with that involved.
I've heard it's really funny to ask it about advanced physics.
I don't think he was trying to shoot down ChatGPT. He was trying to shoot down the single shot, "I just asked it for the best trading strategy and it made it! 😲" kind of BS. Obviously, there is a lot of code that could be written to do a lot of wonderful things, with ChatGPT. But it's a try/fail/try/fail/try/fail effort.
@@tymondabrowski12 It´s suprisingly decent at advanced physics, but seems to make more mistakes in simple physics when I´ve tested it.
Thank you Mr. Bagel, but your advice is for people interested in earning money and I'm more interested in losing it 💎🤲
Oh my bad, carry on
Buy high, sell low
@@steamedbryce Easier said than done, buying the surge only works 50% of the time
@@steamedbryce ** Butt high, sell low. I'm gay.
I’ve found that the easiest way to lose all your money is to become heavily addicted cocaine and alcohol
I find it funny that a good portion of "advice" boils down to "buy low, sell high" like the rest is obvious
Because that’s what you have to do. The hard part is learning how the market moves and how the cycles work. But yeah… that’s not advice since it doesn’t really give you anything. You have to study and learn a lot of stuff in order to be able to do that.
That’s like saying “well if you’re homeless, just buy a house”
And it’s actually something that I’ve heard someone say😂😂
I love watching the moment Richard's brain concludes "this is so wrong." You see a blink and then his eyes drift to one side for just a moment. I live for those moments!
I love your serious videos, but fun ones like this are great too!
Thanks Richard for your outlook and empathy towards others. People are more than their salary, and it's great to hear this coming from someone in the finance space, which I believe often is filled with people who are biased think poor people are just lazy.
You're a good cookie.
Good people are worth more than their salary, assholes are their salary
Appreciate that final comment, its something that I think a lot of people need to hear. People are defined by who they are not their monthly earnings or salary.
as someone who doesn't make 400k a year, I approve of this message.
I don't think I have made 400k period
You are not a real man...of course, I guess that applies to me as well😢
as someone with an monthly equvalent of over 400k per month, I can approve this message.
I'm usually surprised by your ability to analyze absolute nonsense so calmly but it's just on another level with these tiktoks
Richard was far too generous about 10X returns with crypto. Not only does the investor have to choose 3 investments that return 10X, they must invest 100% of their assets into EACH investment.
I've been in the markets since 1998 and have been fortunate enough to have multiple 10X (and larger) returns over the years, but the idea of throwing every cent I have after each investment is overwhelmingly nauseating.
Investing is NOT gambling. Risk management is ALWAYS priority #1.
FANTASTIC video! 😀👍
And unlike with regular investing (where you can do your research first) you have to invest so early that you have no way to predict if a specific shitcoin will get rug pulled/pumped and dumped.
Also…. Liquidity…yes these crypto coins 10x all the time. But only $50,000 trading volume.
one of the biggest challenges with Quantitative models is that they are "situational". Once the situation that they were taking advantage of passes then they slowly become ineffective in their ability to predict market behavior and thus price direction. And the guy who used Pine Script just showed a back test, not actual results lol
I LOVE IT WHEN YOU SIDE EYE THE CAMERA AS YOU LOOK UP THE STOCK SDŞLFKSŞDFK
I could watch you do these all day.
I really like your videos and this time i exceptionally liked your outro where you said "never be ashamed of the amount of money you make.". You had a face of sincerity and this is a great message. I definitely am behind my peers in this area, but i often just go back to basics and realize things could be so much worse. Trying to just improve yourself is enough of a measuring stick vs looking at everyone elses success, the envy will drive you mad. Just focus on leveling up what you can do, the rest is noise
Truly informative and useful, I will now proceed to go home and simply grow my portfolio 2% per day instead of what I was doing before
'well at least he has his confidence' that was priceless
Love your channel, very grounded and sound advice. My family are chinese americans. When my parents came here , they were poor graduaate students who made $25/month back in China. But with dedicated and diligent investments, mostly in broad indexes and some real estate, they built up several millions over 25 years. I suffered along, but watch and learn from my dad, and now I'm able to expand upoon their success. There is no realistic easy way to riches, but there are lots of high probability to success roads that are long and often tough. But it's the journey that also instill the self decipline that one would need to keep thaf wealth.
Thank you PB. Love the grounded and calm talk with only slight memeage.
Never get sick or bored of this type of content. Fav Channel ever. (ultra small caliber german investor)
Even professional ER people are just making informed guesses, and those guys grinded their ass off (or nepotism'd in) to their position, there's ultimately no way to predict the buying and selling behaviors of the entire market.
It is a gambling market and everyone uses confirmation biased
Just so it's said, the reason you should under no circumstances trust ChatGPT with any kind of trading is because it's an AI for talking.
It talks well. That's nice, that's impressive, but that's the one thing it does exceptionally well.
It's guessing at trading strategies or just copying one it was trained on. It's currently stuck in 2021 so it's most recent data says we're in a low interest, low inflation bull market.
Large Language Models will bullshit you with unimaginable confidence about things that are easy to disprove. The more open to interpretation an answer is, the more likely you are to get royally screwed
The reason I like dividends is that I feel the point of owning a company is to get paid by it without sacrificing ownership.
Agreed! It feels very much like you truly own part of a productive business, much more than just owing shares that fluctuate with the market.
I don’t really conceptually get the point of “owning” a part of a company if it never actually pays me. I still invest in index funds that include stocks that don’t pay dividends but I still don’t “get” it.
@@itsacorporatething Conceptually, you have a claim to a percentage of their value if they are to be liquidated or sold, and a claim to a percentage of their potential future distribution of wealth to owners. More concretely, if the company has one million dollars on a bank account and you own 1% of the company, then conceptually you own among other things 10,000 dollars of that 1 million.
However, I agree things can get more complicated for example when you add that the company might not get sold or liquidated or distribute wealth to owners for the next 10 or 20 years. So you can argue that a share in such a company is in some sense worthless, because no money will actually come out of it and back to you. The only reason why it is worth anything is that other people is willing to pay you for the share, which is pure speculation and 'greater fool'-gambling :)
If you get 10$ of dividend, your company devalues in the same proportion (your share is worth 10$ less). Dividends are irrelevant. AND you pay tax on that
In all seriousness, that was really good advice to hear, especially from someone like you, Richard. I am not in a place where I want to be financially at my age, so it's really reassuring to hear that validation. I hope we all get to a point where we can provide for our families and communities enough to be comfortable. This life is short, and you can't take money with you.
These kids' heads will blow when they discover casinos
I really like how you are very objective when evaluating those TikTok stuff.
I mean, you aren't just disregarding everything they say and considered everything useless. But instead pick out the bad ideas from stuff that actually make sense.
So yeah, as a result, it feels very educative. And less just for boosting viewer's ego by dismissing bad advice.
For example, comparing stocks with dividends, and explaining the concept behind algo trading (low margin, low durability, constantly work on new algos) feels really helpful!
2% A DAY? I would be happy with 2% A MONTH. I got a bank paying me 1.8% A YEAR as I'm watching interest rates go thru the roof.
Interest rates are high right now. You should be able to get better return, should look at other banks savings accounts.
“If you fail it’s because you weren’t disciplined enough.” The girl is literally telling people to nuke their accounts and HODL 😂😂😂
Richard, from a licensed associate to another. Thank you for your content. Its awesome
Final PSA about not feeling bad about your income was nice to see, very succinct way of wording it. Well done as always
Love this series! Thank you for part 5!
Please keep making these videos! Aside from being hilarious, they do a good job of exposing scammers trying to take desperate people's money
10x returns equals one hell of a tax bill
If you're making 10x returns, the tax bill isn't even a problem.
I would accept 8x after tax returns, but I'm a modest man who doesn't need much to be happy.
If you had a mythical repeatable 10X strategy, you could do it in a retirement account, even if you don't have a single penny in there. 😀
To be fair, I don't think anyone turning 1k into 1,000,000 would care lmfao
It just occurs to me that the salary of the US president is $400,000 a year. Fortunately, getting free room, board , and travel expense helps stretch out those $35,000 a month paychecks.
At 9:30 LITERALLY, the funniest 35 seconds EVER on financial youtube 🤣🤣🤣
I just love these videos! Normally I’m no fan of reaction style videos and often find them boring and would rather watch the original video with no annoying commentary. However your reaction to these TikToks are absolutely hilarious and educational at the same time. Keep em coming!
I'm embarrassed too because I don't make $400 thousand a year. I need those fake guru courses please.
Love this! Waiting for part 6,7, 8, 9 and 10.
Way to save the most ridiculous TikTok for last. You’re a failure for not making $400,000 a year? He doesn’t know how you can live on $35,000 a month? I don’t get how people can even say stuff like that with a straight face.
I mean, he doesn't need to believe any of that. He just wants to make you feel insecure so that you'll buy whatever scheme he's shilling.
Making 35k a *year* would be me more than doubling my income. I can't imagine what it would be like to make that in a month
Well when that's all mommy and daddy left for you in the trust. And your mean trustee will only let you have that 35k a month. I would be mad too.
16:10 came here for lols and ended up getting the most wholesome sentiment ever, thanks richard!
richard I must say that your comedic timing in this video is absolutely astounding, had me loling everytime!😂
I almost choked on my dinner around 14:00 Richard " no you don't".
Please please please do another video especially a funny one with Patrick Boyle!
9:22 This entire TikTok and Richard's reaction had me absolutely DYING! SO FUNNY!!
I like watching him try to process such advanced stupidity, no anger, just confusion
Mad respect to our man Richard his TikTok for you page must be complete and utter dog shit at this point
Your comment on the 2 year compound investment strategy. Why I don’t hit the “Join” button. Why I don’t discord. Why I don’t watch anyone who sells a course.
I have actually created a bot with chat gpt via python, but its not how RUclips channels make it look like, you gotta specify all the necessary parameters and it'll provide a code (you manually have to resolve the errors from it tho), but the code bot will be completely based on your strategy, the AI is not gonna make yourself any money by itself.
You were under the impression that that trading bot was based on AI, but it was regular script written by AI. The bot itself was quite unsophisticated
Me watching this: Furiously moves all my money into S&P Index Funds.
Thank you. In a sea of anxiety inducing bulls**t, this kind of video is a huge relief and extremely satisfying to hear. A breath of fresh air. Thanks again.

"All you need is three 10x trades"
LMAO
ez bro 10x10x10 = 1000% return XD, just create a coin and die trying scamming people with it
One 10x is 1000%. Triple 10x is 100 000%.
Scamming is more profitable than gambling
It’s that dry delivery that keeps me coming back😂. Your the best bagel!!
So many of my friends have gotten into these and when I try to explain the reality of it I become a small minded hater who will stay broke.
There are some people who you can't say anything to except, eventually, "I told you so"
They will end up on WSB with loss p0 rn soon. People like those are the same morons that will buy these gurus "courses" or buy into their pump and dumps and end up broke.
Great video! Please keep making these, as it is an entertaining way to inform young people about the types of red flags to look out for in order to spot scams in the wild.
I appreciate your nod to salary not equaling happiness as well as the Plain Bagel breakdown of the FOMO hype others profit from spreading. (see what I did there?)
I love the contrast in fallacies here:
If I can just 10x my money 3 times… which you can’t, those trades are just too unlikely. You’re lucky to get one, and it’ll still average out with all your other investments.
Or if you just make 2% every day for two years… maybe it’s not hard to earn 2% in a day, but even if you hit that margin 99% of the time, your odds of doing it every day for two years are 0.00065%.
I’m of the opinion that basic probability theory should be in the high school math curriculum for this exact reason.
I started with $1,000 10 years ago and with a 2% daily return I've managed to accumulate over $500 billion thanks to these Tik Toks
I did the same but with the right math, so I now have about 47 billion times the global GDP.
@@TR0LLREIGN I think youtube crowd doesn't deserve you
Thanks for the input, Agent Bagel! Seriously, though, I always find myself checking your viewpoint on topics last to help make sense of complicated issues. Thank you for that.
As a Financial Economist I'm always surprised at the level of financial ignorance out there, even among learned professionals like doctors, lawyers, teachers, it is shocking to see people not understanding how simple concepts like compounding, leverage, margin, shares work 😅never underestimate a business degree, if you have it you are a gem in this new financial world
@@weird-guyweird..
"Well at least he has his confidence."-I died
I love these Tik Tok reactions. There are far too many gurus out there. If someone has a really successful trading strategy, they're not going to be announcing it to everyone. A big part of that reason is that if someone has a great trading strategy, it becomes less effective as more people follow the same strategy up until it disappears all together. Beyond that, there are a lot of people that get lucky who then think they have an inside view of the "stock game," and so after making money with a trading strategy then decide to mortgage their house and risk their entire life savings only to find out that most successful trading strategies tend to be fairly short-lived. Someone who can consistently beat the market over decades of time is going to make the most money not by selling books and courses but by opening their own wealth management firm and picking up customers.
Otherwise, investing is not necessarily meant to be exciting. Good investments with good wealth managers largely should be running in the background and growing over time. No one wants to hear it, but the best strategy is to live on less than what you make (the bigger that gap, the better), and invest more of your income every month (after making sure your high-interest debts are paid off and you have a really good emergency savings built). It's boring for the first few years, then after awhile, it's cool to see how much more it grows and what you have invested. Everyone else pushing these schemes is really just trying to sell a course.
You are the fabled needle in the haystack my friend, hats off
Please do a part 6; this is peak youtube comedy!
8:04 no, it's not that common to multiply by 10 your money in cryptos, it happen sometime but only the first holders of those cryptos will multiply by 10 or more the amount of money they have invested, the others will not
In the long run, most if not all, cryptos will go to 0. Because it is largely useless and massively overvalued "industry". Also 9/10 are straight up scams.
The first Tiktok reminded me of a line from American Dad that goes:
"I get paid more!...frequently. The overall amount of payment is less."
10x my investment? Why didn't I think of that
I love the side eye while watching the videos give bad advice. It's like making eye contact with your favorite cousin at a family reunion when your drunk uncle says something crazy that you're absolutely going to talk about later 😂
You can tell how credible a TikToker is by whether they can keep their lip sync (the speaking audio matches their mouth) going for at least 30 seconds, and it's kinda nuts how many of them can't accomplish that. Pretty much every RUclipsr I've ever watched has that down pat, often for an hour long video, so yeah, guess how much effort that guy has put into his work, and how useful his advice is to you.
Loved the blunt responses. Make another one.
I prefer dividend stocks because I prefer getting the cash out because of that predictability. But yeah, thats a preference, not a right or wrong secret. Its all about your individual appetite for risk as an investor
It also depends on the tax code. Where i live dividends get taxed immediately while capital gain only gets taxed on sale, so you're losing a bit on compounding interest if you take the dividends route. For that reason i got an ETF that accumulates
@@tomlxyz But dividends don't exclude you from making capital gains on that same stock though.
"Don't ever feel embarrassed about how much money you make". I've just been checking your videos out a bit the past coupla days and this bit just earned you a subscriber. I really appreciate you saying this for all to hear
Holy shit! The penny stock guy was just perfect. We just need to short whatever he's selling and we can 10x our money 3 times in no time XD
I smell a pump and dump scheme. Except he’s charging people to join his schemes, so he’s cashing in twice. You’d have to know when the dump is happening to make the money shorting them.

Recap by Tammy AI
Love your content, very nice, highly intelligent information thank you
I thought I was doing alright in life. Not amazing, but heading in the right direction.
But now I know that I'm an abject failure for not making $400,000 a year.
A million a year is average you don’t want to be below average do you? lol
To be fair it is hard to live on $400k a year when i have to pay property taxes on my multi million dollar house. Not to mention the insane insurance and maintenance on my 2 ferraris. I literally couldnt even add an addition to my house this year. Plus utilities are up! Can you imagine what i have to pay to heat a 20000 square foot house! I barely have enough to pay my team of maids, gardeners and pool boys. Just ridiculous.
Whenever someone is offering to sell the secret to generating wealth, ask yourself this: “If he is so successful, why does he need _my_ money?”
I do admire the composure you keep while hearing all those bullshit from crappy people who should NOT be given any permission to talk about such relevant and delicate topics. What I also appreciate of you is your honesty: there's no shortcut to make easy money, but to have control over your spending habits, and rely on a professional who actually knows what they're doing.
Keep the good work up!
9:59 Indeed, he was right, the stock did explode. Not in the right way though.
Nice video as usual. It is cool that you add some further explaination aside their strategies to make it educational for us.
Be safe out there too! :)
The way this man stares at the camera whenever anyone's chatting waffle has me DEAD (9:37) 😂😂😂 He reminds me so much of that little ginger kid who was talking about his grandpa and the superbowl during an interview 😭
