Speaker 1 (00:06):
Hello, everyone, Welcome to the Big Show. This is Investing
and Trading Live, sponsored by Trading Academy. If you're a
first time listener, thank you for stopping by. As always,
I am your host, Josh Lilquist, and I do have
my good friend. Yes, he still is a good pal,
and he still is the one and only Misrail Connics

(00:26):
and l How you do today?

Speaker 2 (00:28):
Feeling pretty? I'm gonna say chipper today, Chipper.

Speaker 1 (00:30):
I think you might have been chipper about two weeks
ago as well.

Speaker 2 (00:34):
I've used that word before.

Speaker 1 (00:35):
Maybe it's because you're wearing the same shirt today.

Speaker 2 (00:37):
There were a couple of weeks weeks ago. Well, I
only have two shirts. So it's gonna you're gonna see
it often.

Speaker 1 (00:42):
Well off or off? Oh thank you? I thought you
said off, and I said listeners, especially out of your mind,
especially on the YouTube, are probably happy there. It is
not off today. But you know you have been working
out though I have been.

Speaker 2 (00:55):
I can tell. Let's see you.

Speaker 1 (00:56):
No congratulations to that. But all this is not a
fitness show.

Speaker 2 (00:59):
All.

Speaker 1 (01:00):
We could talk a lot about fitness and health and wellness.
There you go, but we'll talk about the financial markets
and the financial fitness. Our sponsor Trading Academy on their
twenty ninth year, teaching people just like you, how to invest,
how to trade, how to get these financial markets if
you're brand new and don't know a stock from a stick,

(01:20):
or maybe you're just a seasoned investor but you're looking
for a little bit more consistency. Trading Academy has strategies
designed to tackle both of those, the income side of
it and the retirement side. And we know we have
strategies like short term, mid term, long term, and there's
there's a strategy for everybody out there is and we're

(01:42):
going to discuss that some of that stuff here at
today on Investing in Trading Live. Make sure to follow
the podcast Investing in Trading Live wherever you listen to podcasts,
Apple Podcasts, iHeartRadio, and Spotify. As we know, the S
and P five hundred reaching new highs once again over
six thousand, two hundred and six five at one point

(02:02):
almost I think the highs were two thousand, sorry, two
thousand and six, two and eighty five. So we're seeing
some great movements with the stock market on the S
and P five hundred. That's kind of the gauge of
the overall markets, you have the tech tech industry or
tech sector, will call it our index, which is the
Nasdaq over twenty two, eight hundred and fifteen as of

(02:23):
the recording, they show all time highs as well, and
the Dow Jones off just a smidgeon. And I don't
know what a smidgeon is. I just made that up today,
but just off the all time highs and it's small.
It's small. By the time you hear the show here
it might actually be all time highs.

Speaker 2 (02:41):
And all of this anti Schmid smidgeon exactly.

Speaker 1 (02:44):
This is played all across the country and the world
and the podcast. So you have the overall markets looking
real good, which is making the average investor feel pretty decent.
Right now, we have a airline stock sore obviously, delta
letter val in the airline sector after exceeding earnings expectations,
boosting investor confidence in travel related stocks. Boy, I'll tell

(03:08):
you what. Ell the ol crypto world, you have Bitcoin
topping eighteen one hundred and eighteen thousand dollars per bitcoin
and just some great movements there. L Obviously that was
fueled by IT and Nvidia led equity rally and then
growing acceptance in traditional finance, including a strategic bitcoin reserve

(03:29):
and a fourteen point four billion in spot bitcoin ETF inflows.
So basically, crypto stocks like Coinbase and micro Strategy also
saw some gains. Obviously, in Vidia continues to drive the
text stock gains and actually City raised its price target
to one ninety citing AI demand. Now, one of the

(03:52):
cool things about that is, you know who cares what
City says. Let's look at a chart and make smart
investing decisions based off facts. They're not opinions.

Speaker 2 (04:01):
The problem is too many people listen to those opinions exactly.
Remember books, an opinion is just basically a guess.

Speaker 1 (04:07):
About something, Yeah, and that's where everybody has one too,
just like other things. So you know, AI is really
leading this charge with some of these stocks. Tesla slipped
a little bit amid the trade uncertainties and Elon Musk
political activities. We won't go down that path, but obviously
we still have those tariff concerns impacting sentiment. Uncertainty over

(04:30):
US terraffs, including Trump's threats against Canada and extensions on
deadlines caused market volatility. So as we know, there's a
lot of volatility as I just mentioned here, but really
great opportunities with these markets now, just real briefly. I
know we're getting close to the end the first segment
already we're going to dissect a lot of this stuff

(04:51):
from the intro. But why is it so important right
now to learn about how these markets actually function well?

Speaker 2 (04:59):
Because the opportunities are so great right now. You know,
a lot of people are sitting on the sidelines, A
lot of people are afraid because they think that this
volatility equates to risk, and volatility, risk, whatever you want
to call it, is just an opportunity. We don't have
those things. We don't have opportunities to benefit from these
markets you mentioned Elon Musk. We love to see things

(05:23):
like this where somebody can say something and can drive
the moves, the move of their stock or the market
one direction or another. And typically what they're doing is
just more quickly driving price into an area that we
can take advantage of. And we do that by following
the people that know how to take advantage of whatever
the price is, whatever the asset is. There's only one

(05:46):
thing that moves price, and that's buying and selling. And
it's more buyers and sellers drive the price up more
sellers and buyers drive the price down. But it's identifying
who those people are and when they're going to be active.
That's or they try to hide what they're doing. That's
part of what we do is show you, will show
you what they're trying to hide and how you can

(06:07):
take advantage of it.

Speaker 1 (06:08):
Well, it's just optimizing your your odds and probabilities.

Speaker 2 (06:12):
Probably we're not predicting, we're really looking at probabilities. You
have to put the probabilities in your favor. That's an
edge you have. If you don't have that, then basically
you are just kind of guessing and hoping that things
work in your favor.

Speaker 1 (06:26):
Yeah, and that's what's pretty cool about Trading Academy is
Trading Academy has strategies for the average investor, the public,
and it's designed to follow those institutions like you're you're
alluding to. And we'll dissect that a little bit more
as we progress into the show here. But we're seeing
so many people that are coming to these free trading
and investing workshops that we do all across the metro.

(06:48):
We're local and as what's pretty cool as we're a
local academy that trains. These skills give some knowledge about
these markets because real people. We have with actual people.
It's not an AI, I'll tell you that, because you
got to be very careful with what you see on
line on you know, the interweb. So that's why we're
getting so many comments of people very appreciative about a
physical place they can go to build these skills and

(07:11):
understand how these markets function. And what type of people
are coming to these classes. It's your everyday people. You know,
you're nine to fivers that have great jobs and it
have four to one k's IRA's but looking to build more,
hopefully at a pace that they're looking for. But also
we're seeing people that business owners, a lot of business
owners coming to these classes that like they like multiple

(07:36):
streams and strategies to tackle some of these things. But
that's one of the cool things and why we have
hosts these physical investing and trading workshops that I want
to invite you to. So it come into one of
these physical investing and trading workshops. Simply just text the
