Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Welcome back to Investing in Trading my sponsored by Trading Academy.
In the last segment, we've got an overview on the
public pulse. What is the public actually feeling right now
with the overall movement of these markets. But what's actually
the reality and the reality is people feel like they're okay,
but deep down they know they're just not and they're

(00:23):
looking to make a change and that they're looking to
have more control in their financial future. And it takes
doing sometimes maybe just a little bit different approach. And
that's why we have these free investing in trading workshops

(01:27):
We do appreciate all those and also the the likes

so thank you very much for all those. So, as
I mentioned on the last couple segments here, we had
some good moves in these markets. Obviously, we talked about
the S and P five hundred and the Nasdaq hitting
record highs but facing volatility midweek here this week. So

(01:50):
when you look at the S and P five hundred
and as the court recording the show, I mean, the
market's hits hit all time highs, it seems like on Tuesday,
or sorry, on Wednesday and on Thursday over sixty to
seventy five almost six two hundred and seventy six here

(02:11):
this week. So obviously the S and P five hundred
is really soaring and very strong. Right now, we have
the NASDAK over twenty two thousand, eight hundred and fifty.
So just I mean, if I had some clapping on here,
we would have to clap in and some cheers on
the S and P five hundred and the Nasdaq. The

(02:31):
dal Jones is right at those highs forty four, eight
hundred and thirty five, so you know, right around there
when you listen to the show. So we're seeing some
great movements obviously from the lows. Liave was April seventh,
let me just double check on the chart here April
seventh of this year, so a great rally ever since then,

(02:53):
so that's looking good there. Also, we had a tech
rally that was really led by Tesla and chip stocks.
So looking at Tesla, I mentioned I was going to
mention a few comments on that currently had about three
hundred and sixteen dollars and sixth cents. You know, a
little bit of a slow down on Thursday. Obviously it's
fourth of July weekend. Here, we have great moves on

(03:17):
the upcoming days up to that, and then obviously Friday
market was closed, so we have Tesla kind of consolidating.
We've seen a big drop after we had that little
little tiff between a couple of people there, and then
now we're starting to rally slightly, but it's been slowing
down between the three hundred and sixty down to about

(03:39):
two hundred and sixty, and that's going to be over
the last two months here. So Tesla continuing to show
major volatility. But you know, also, I mean there's opportunities
and up markets and these down markets. We talked about
that all the time, and I mentioned earlier we have
that trade policy policy shift. Trump has canceled the Canada

(03:59):
Canada talk and the new Vietnam deal twenty percent tariff.
That's kind of stirred markets. As we mentioned Nike that
Nike has shown some volatility there with because they do
a lot of things in Vietnam. So these opportunities that

(04:19):
the we'll call it the news is driving kind of
is going to make it do it was what it
was going to do anyway faster. And that's what we
mean by volatility. You actually want volatility in these markets.
So we're going to continue to take a peek at
those as the as the days go on here and
as these we'll call it trade talks continue to develop.

(04:44):
We have what else we got here, well, let's let's
continue to talk about Tesla here for a second. It
surged after strong Q two deliveries. Actually, just like we
talked about Despice that despite that brief Musk Trump dispute.
Uber another stock here we haven't discussed. Let's get into

(05:04):
that sincere since we're here, Uber we could like to
call it. Uber has also shown some pretty good strength
over the past, I mean, quite frankly since twenty twenty two,
but we had a kind of a slowdown between eighty
one bucks and about sixty from January of twenty twenty
four all the way until about May of this year,
and now we've reached ninety two dollars and eighty seven cents,

(05:28):
so Uber is looking pretty good as of late. I
believe that's all time highs so great job for Uber
with that. They actually fell recently though, due to that downgrade,
but quite frankly, it's still pretty strong. They got earnings
coming up here on August fifth, on Tuesday, and of

(05:53):
this point sixty two to two on the earnings and
revenue twelve point four six billions. So just some insight
on Uber there. Now, looking at one more stock since
we're here, I want to talk real briefly about Coinbase,
and these are stocks that everybody knows. You have coinbas
right around the three hundred and fifty three dollars and

(06:14):
ninety one cent mark showing some huge growth over here
in the past few two to four weeks here. So
it was the top s and P five hundred performer
in June, and that was driven by crypto legislation. Legislation wins,
so we see policies and you have more adoption with crypto,

(06:39):
so that's going to continue to bring more volatility volatility
to this. I mean a lot of people like to
use options on coinbase because it does have that volatility.
It's a kind of a quick mover, which is what
you want for options. So that's why it's important to
understand different asset classes in these markets. As we talked
about in the second segment, talked about the options market,

(07:01):
the futures market, and the forex market, and what they
are is they're different vehicles and these vehicles will do
different things. Now, why might somebody want to get into
the options market, Well, we talk a lot about stocks.
If you really like stocks, quite frankly, it ties up
a lot of your capital. Since we're speaking about colinbased
three hundred and fifty four bucks per share. You want
to buy a thousand shares of that. You kind of

(07:23):
need a decent portfolio to be able to control that.
The problem is is it ties up all your capital
and quite frankly, that's one hundred percent at risk, which
is not what you want to do. So a lot
of people are looking at the options market now and
quite have quite frankly, have been for many many years.
You know, the ones that know what they're doing and
looking to minimize their risk in the markets. Options were

(07:44):
actually created to minimize risk and the financial markets on
the stock market, well, most people don't know how they work.
So that's why we have these free investing in trading
workshops to dive straight into the options market. What it is,
Why might you want to trade it? Whether you're looking
for growth or portfolio growth, or it's an income strategy.
They're kind of like a you know, no pun intended,

(08:06):
but they give you more options. They have many, many
different strategies you can utilize with those, and what you
can do with that is use less capital. So in essence,
you're tying up less capital because it has leverage. What
leverage is is buying power. Now, if you're listening, why
might you want to use buying power or leverage? Well,

(08:28):
you don't need one two hundred thousand, three hundred buck
thousand dollars in your account to buy you know, so
many x amount of shares of coinbase because it's that
three hundred fifty bucks percare. You need a much smaller
account size because of the buying power or efficiency that
it gives you. So you may only tie up I mean,
we just look at an options chain, but you may
only tie up fifteen hundred and two grand, four grand,

(08:50):
whatever that may be on an options play. And then that,
quite frankly, is your risk and that's it. So that way,
you're not risking your whole portfolio to hold a stock
long term, which is super risky long term because there's
no plan for gain or loss. Now, a lot of
you probably wanted to know why why are we talking
about this? Because the key in the markets is to

(09:11):
minimize risk. And that's why we have a brick and
mortar place right here in Bloomington. It's Trading Academy to
train these skills, to talk about these concepts, techniques, and
that's what these free investing and trading workshops are designed
to do is bring you the average investor in the public.
Everybody's an average investor, the average investor the right techniques,

(09:32):
the concepts to gain more control, to gain that financial
literacy to make smart decisions, and that can be in
your income accounts. So we talked about early in the
second segment, how do you build wealth? It's actually extra income.
So if you're looking at building more wealth by creating
another income strategy, we have strategies designed for that that
we discussed in these free investing and trading workshops at

(09:54):
our brick and Mortar Academy right here in Bloomington. We
also have retirement strategies. So say you're in your forties, fifties,
sixties and you're thinking about retirement but not sure you're
gonna have enough, Well, there are things that you can
do to figure that out. Also, if you are feeling
like your short retirement well options as I mentioned earlier,
might be an opportunity to have an opportunity to build it,

(10:16):
maybe a little bit faster rather than just buying and hoping.
