1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,500
everyone would love to have a 
monster dividend portfolio, one 

2
00:00:03,500 --> 00:00:06,700
that spits out huge dividends 
day after day thousands and 

3
00:00:06,700 --> 00:00:10,200
thousands of dollars a portfolio
of businesses that produces so 

4
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:14,200
much income every single week, 
every month that you can live 

5
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:17,800
off of it, it completely 
subsidizes and replaces your 

6
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:21,100
active income dividends after 
all our passive income, it's 

7
00:00:21,100 --> 00:00:24,000
money that you make without 
having to lift a finger, you 

8
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:27,200
have to do the initial upfront 
work, you have to buy the 

9
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:31,100
investment, but once you've done
that yourself, Set you earn 

10
00:00:31,100 --> 00:00:34,300
passive income via dividend. 
This is not only what my entire 

11
00:00:34,300 --> 00:00:38,000
portfolio centered around, but 
it's also my ultimate goal to 

12
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:42,000
get to the point where I'm no 
longer reliant on active work. 

13
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:45,200
We're working is an opportunity.
It's a choice. 

14
00:00:45,500 --> 00:00:48,500
It's not a requirement. 
That is the goal of passive 

15
00:00:48,500 --> 00:00:50,000
income. 
Now, I've been building this 

16
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,600
portfolio publicly for some 
time. 

17
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:55,700
I do it under public scrutiny, 
you can see the changes that I 

18
00:00:55,700 --> 00:00:57,400
make. 
You can see the buys that I do 

19
00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:00,600
and you can see the cells that I
make, but in this episode So I'd

20
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:03,300
like to do something a bit 
different than show you just the

21
00:01:03,300 --> 00:01:05,000
most recent trades. 
I'm making. 

22
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:09,300
I'd rather show you the lessons 
that I've learned in building a 

23
00:01:09,300 --> 00:01:12,700
monster dividend portfolio over 
the past four years. 

24
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:15,200
I want to go over what I think. 
Are the biggest mistakes that 

25
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,800
divot investors are making what 
I think are the biggest things 

26
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:21,000
they should be focusing on and 
how I believe investors today 

27
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,600
can get to their goals as fast 
as possible. 

28
00:01:23,700 --> 00:01:24,900
So this is going to be a good 
one. 

29
00:01:24,900 --> 00:01:28,000
We're going to be going over 
five years of investing and 

30
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,000
summarizing my best lessons. 
In this episode. 

31
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,100
Now of course we have some other
news to get to as well. 

32
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:37,400
Mark Zuckerberg is on the Move 
meta has released their initial 

33
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:41,300
plans to compete with Twitter. 
So metas doing what they do 

34
00:01:41,300 --> 00:01:44,200
historically which is copy, 
other social media competitors. 

35
00:01:44,500 --> 00:01:46,400
And they do this very 
effectively. 

36
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:50,200
I'll be giving you my opinion on
this Twitter copycat and on the 

37
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:52,900
subject of meta. 
And Mark Zuckerberg, we get a 

38
00:01:52,908 --> 00:01:56,100
see in detail. 
What Mark Zuckerberg, initial 

39
00:01:56,100 --> 00:01:59,800
response was of the Vision Pro. 
I have a lot of thoughts. 

40
00:02:00,100 --> 00:02:02,700
So we'll be going into this as 
well, and then it's Friday, the 

41
00:02:02,700 --> 00:02:06,500
day where we turn to tick, tock 
to get the best tips on finance 

42
00:02:06,500 --> 00:02:09,900
and investing. 
And this tip is specifically on 

43
00:02:09,900 --> 00:02:12,900
house hacking. 
This is the all-time best house 

44
00:02:12,900 --> 00:02:15,500
hacking hack ever. 
So, we'll be looking at this and

45
00:02:15,508 --> 00:02:18,300
I'll be giving my reaction here 
at the end of this episode. 

46
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:20,900
So, as always, if you like this 
type of content, if you like the

47
00:02:20,900 --> 00:02:23,200
transparency, we have hair.

video. 
Subscribe to the channel. 

49
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:26,900
Now, let's go ahead and Jump 
Right In first of all, we'll 

50
00:02:26,900 --> 00:02:29,700
start off with building a 
monster dividend portfolio. 

51
00:02:29,900 --> 00:02:33,200
This is something that I've been
trying to work on for 5 years 

52
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:35,600
now. 
I've been focusing my portfolio 

53
00:02:35,900 --> 00:02:38,900
around building up, passive 
income that's Remain the 

54
00:02:38,900 --> 00:02:42,500
ultimate end goal of this 
portfolio and while doing that 

55
00:02:42,500 --> 00:02:45,000
over the past five years and 
having the opportunity to run a 

56
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,300
YouTube channel and spending an 
incredible amount of time 

57
00:02:48,300 --> 00:02:51,600
studying investing, I've been 
able to see a lot of things that

58
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,800
work at a lot of things that 
don't work when trying to do 

59
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,000
this. 
So what I hope to do is is 

60
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,700
basically share everything that 
I've learned along the way. 

61
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:03,300
I want to start off with the 
basics when we're building a 

62
00:03:03,300 --> 00:03:07,200
monster dividend portfolio. 
There's three basic ways that 

63
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,800
this works, three basic ways, 
that it compounds. 

64
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,400
And I've gone over this in 
previous video so I'll just go 

65
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:14,100
over it. 
Briefly, first of all, we buy 

66
00:03:14,100 --> 00:03:15,500
into companies that pay a 
dividend. 

67
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:19,000
This is the first way that we 
grow a dividend portfolio and 

68
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:23,100
along with number one here, I 
would say that an important step

69
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:26,000
is having a consistent income to
begin with. 

70
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:30,400
You can't leap over to passive 
income without having Having an 

71
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,600
active income. 
So you need to have a stable 

72
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:34,500
job. 
You need to have a stable income

73
00:03:34,500 --> 00:03:36,400
and you need to have your 
budgeting down. 

74
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:40,200
So you have money every single 
week to add to your portfolio. 

75
00:03:40,500 --> 00:03:43,300
But once you have that money, 
you need to start putting it to 

76
00:03:43,300 --> 00:03:48,000
work and put it to work as soon.
And as frequent as you can step,

77
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,200
one by companies that pay a 
dividend that pays you the 

78
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:54,200
initial dividend yield. 
The initial dividend yield is 

79
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:57,700
what gets the ball rolling. 
You have money flowing into your

80
00:03:57,700 --> 00:04:00,700
account. 
For example, in this Folio I've 

81
00:04:00,700 --> 00:04:03,800
earned a total of twenty one 
thousand five hundred and 

82
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:05,200
ninety-four. 
Dollars in dividends. 

83
00:04:05,300 --> 00:04:07,400
These have been growing the 
entire time that I've been 

84
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,200
investing. 
This number always goes up, it 

85
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,700
never goes down. 
Companies are always paying me? 

86
00:04:12,700 --> 00:04:15,000
Dividends step two is pretty 
basic. 

87
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:18,100
We reinvest the dividend once a 
company pays you out. 

88
00:04:18,100 --> 00:04:20,800
Cash flow. 
Use it to buy other companies 

89
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,500
that you consider to be high 
return opportunities. 

90
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,900
So as you have money, flowing in
every single week, and every 

91
00:04:26,900 --> 00:04:29,800
month in dividend payments, look
through your portfolio. 

92
00:04:29,900 --> 00:04:33,100
Oh and see which ones are 
offering the best opportunity at

93
00:04:33,100 --> 00:04:35,500
a given time. 
My way of doing this is I use 

94
00:04:35,500 --> 00:04:38,400
something called the dip finder.
It's a tool that I've built. 

95
00:04:38,500 --> 00:04:41,200
We're basically just shows which
companies are in a dip at a 

96
00:04:41,207 --> 00:04:43,400
given time. 
I can select different time. 

97
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:46,700
Metrics are like last month, and
I can see which companies are 

98
00:04:46,700 --> 00:04:49,600
doing really well, and which 
companies are struggling a bit. 

99
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:51,500
These are all of my core 
Holdings. 

100
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,900
So, when I select, the last 
month, I can see right here that

101
00:04:54,900 --> 00:04:58,700
Canadian Pacific, MasterCard and
Vici are in the red. 

102
00:04:58,700 --> 00:05:02,500
They've gone down over The past 
30 days, SP Global on the other 

103
00:05:02,500 --> 00:05:04,300
hand has gone on a pretty good 
run. 

104
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:08,100
Microsoft is doing great, apples
doing great Costco's doing good,

105
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,400
Texas Roadhouse is doing good. 
So, these companies that are up 

106
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,500
a lot over the past 30 days, I'm
going to avoid. 

107
00:05:14,700 --> 00:05:17,900
I'll just let them continue to 
run and then I'll buy the 

108
00:05:17,900 --> 00:05:20,300
companies that I think are 
really good that have gone down 

109
00:05:20,300 --> 00:05:23,900
in value and guess what? 
Just a couple days ago, I bought

110
00:05:23,900 --> 00:05:26,200
more VG. 
I bought more because it's 

111
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,700
trading down and I think it 
offers Great Value. 

112
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,500
This is me following know, Prior
to taking the dividends that I'm

113
00:05:31,500 --> 00:05:33,800
paid. 
And reinvesting it into the best

114
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:37,000
high return opportunity. 
Then we have number three. 

115
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:40,100
The company growing the dividend
over time. 

116
00:05:40,100 --> 00:05:43,200
So this changes the criteria in 
which we choose companies to 

117
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:46,000
invest in, we don't only want 
companies that pay a dividend. 

118
00:05:46,100 --> 00:05:50,200
We want companies that pay a 
growing dividend and by growing,

119
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:53,200
I mean growing beyond the rate 
of inflation, we can take a 

120
00:05:53,207 --> 00:05:55,200
Verizon as a counter example 
here. 

121
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,800
This company does pay a dividend
and the dividend is technically 

122
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:00,600
growing. 
It's been Rolling by two point 

123
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:03,500
three, nine percent. 
But unfortunately inflation has 

124
00:06:03,500 --> 00:06:05,600
been above two point three, nine
percent. 

125
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:07,800
Even if we were really 
charitable and said that 

126
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:11,600
inflation was only two percent, 
this dividend is flat, it's 

127
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:15,000
really not growing at all. 
The dividend payment adjusted 

128
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:18,900
for inflation is the exact same 
today than it was a decade ago. 

129
00:06:18,900 --> 00:06:22,000
So while Verizon pays a dividend
it does not pay a growing 

130
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,100
dividend. 
On the other hand, every single 

131
00:06:24,100 --> 00:06:28,100
company within my portfolio, 
every one of them, pays not only

132
00:06:28,100 --> 00:06:30,400
a steady dividend, they pay a a 
growing dividend. 

133
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:34,000
I can take spe Global. 
For example, SP Global pays a 

134
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,100
consistent growing dividend and 
it has done. 

135
00:06:36,100 --> 00:06:39,000
So for years and the dividend is
growing far above the rate of 

136
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,700
inflation at 12%. 
MasterCard pays a very 

137
00:06:41,700 --> 00:06:45,400
consistent dividend and it's 
growing at a very rapid rate 25%

138
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,400
per year. 
And like I said, this is the 

139
00:06:47,407 --> 00:06:51,000
same for every company into it 
Apple, Microsoft Vici, Texas, 

140
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,000
Roadhouse, Costco, so on and so 
forth. 

141
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:56,600
All of them pay consistent and 
growing dividends and that step 

142
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,800
3 and these are the three basic 
steps of building a monster. 

143
00:06:59,900 --> 00:07:02,400
Dividend portfolio. 
You buy companies that pay a 

144
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:05,500
dividend, you reinvest that 
money from the dividends back 

145
00:07:05,500 --> 00:07:07,900
into companies that pay 
dividends and it grows your 

146
00:07:07,900 --> 00:07:10,400
dividend income. 
And then importantly, you try to

147
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:13,900
focus on companies that not only
pay a consistent dividend, but 

148
00:07:13,900 --> 00:07:17,200
they pay a growing dividend far 
above the rate of inflation. 

149
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:20,500
All of these three together are 
really powerful. 

150
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,700
The compounding effect they have
is almost magical. 

151
00:07:24,100 --> 00:07:27,400
In fact I'm reading this book 
that's an in-depth study on 

152
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:29,400
Buffett's life called the 
snowball. 

153
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,700
And it extensively goes through 
his entire history. 

154
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,300
And one of the things that 
points out is that he's 

155
00:07:35,300 --> 00:07:38,700
basically a dividend growth 
investor throughout his entire 

156
00:07:38,700 --> 00:07:42,400
life, especially his early life,
he was always accumulating 

157
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:47,100
stakes in companies that paid 
him excess cash flow Buffett, 

158
00:07:47,100 --> 00:07:51,600
use that excess cash flow to buy
more companies that paid growing

159
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:55,300
amounts of excess cash flow. 
That is literally the snowball. 

160
00:07:55,300 --> 00:07:57,200
It's Buffett's investing 
strategy. 

161
00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:00,800
The reason that Berkshire 
doesn't pay a And is because 

162
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:04,400
Buffett is playing the role of 
the investor reinvesting. 

163
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:08,300
The cash flows but otherwise 
he's running the company in the 

164
00:08:08,308 --> 00:08:10,800
exact same way as a dividend 
growth investor. 

165
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:14,800
Buying good companies that pay 
excess cash reinvesting that 

166
00:08:14,808 --> 00:08:18,200
cash to buy more companies and 
focusing on companies that can 

167
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,600
really grow that cash pile over 
time. 

168
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:24,600
The magical effect of this is a 
strong compounding Snowball 

169
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:26,300
Effect. 
Now that seems simple enough, 

170
00:08:26,300 --> 00:08:29,800
but even given those 
instructions, what I notice is 

171
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:33,400
Is a lot of dividend investors. 
Make some very critical errors 

172
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:36,299
and that's where I want to go 
over where dividend investors 

173
00:08:36,299 --> 00:08:38,400
are failing where they're 
falling short. 

174
00:08:38,700 --> 00:08:41,900
And when I give these critiques 
a lot of these criticisms are 

175
00:08:41,900 --> 00:08:46,100
basically criticizing myself. 
Five years ago, I was making a 

176
00:08:46,100 --> 00:08:49,600
lot of these same mistakes that 
I've since corrected. 

177
00:08:49,700 --> 00:08:51,100
So let me go ahead and go 
through them. 

178
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,000
The first thing that I'd say 
that dividend investors make a 

179
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:57,100
mistake on is the focus on 
starting yield. 

180
00:08:57,300 --> 00:08:59,700
The starting yield is what the 
company's yield is. 

181
00:08:59,900 --> 00:09:03,700
Right now, today, that is the 
main focus of a lot of dividend 

182
00:09:03,700 --> 00:09:06,100
investors. 
They seek companies that will 

183
00:09:06,100 --> 00:09:09,700
instantly give them a high 
starting yield, and a lot of 

184
00:09:09,708 --> 00:09:12,600
companies have a high starting 
yield are not the best 

185
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:14,500
companies. 
We can look at a lot of 

186
00:09:14,500 --> 00:09:17,000
different examples here, we can 
look at Verizon again. 

187
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:20,100
As an example of this, this is a
company that Learners investors 

188
00:09:20,100 --> 00:09:24,200
in with a very high, starting 
dividend yield, a yield of 7.3 

189
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,200
one percent. 
So you may look at this and 

190
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:31,200
think, wow, I buy $100 of this 
and I get 7 Dollars and 31 cents

191
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:34,300
back every single year. 
That's pretty good. 

192
00:09:34,300 --> 00:09:38,200
That's a much higher yield than 
then a company like MasterCard. 

193
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:41,000
So Verizon is the better bet. 
I'm getting more cash flow 

194
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:44,300
through owning this company the 
temptation to buy into companies

195
00:09:44,300 --> 00:09:47,500
with these very Hefty starting 
yields, without looking at the 

196
00:09:47,500 --> 00:09:51,200
fundamental drivers of the 
company leads to lots of under 

197
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:54,300
performance. 
Verizon has been a horrible 

198
00:09:54,300 --> 00:09:58,700
company to own going down, 28 
percent over the past five years

199
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:02,300
in the past. 
Ten years, even with dividends 

200
00:10:02,300 --> 00:10:05,200
this companies, basically given 
no returns. 

201
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,300
So that's seven percent juicy 
starting yield. 

202
00:10:08,300 --> 00:10:12,000
You're getting has given you 
absolutely no returns over the 

203
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:15,400
past 10 years as the rest of the
market has raised up. 

204
00:10:15,500 --> 00:10:18,100
And why is that well for one, 
Verizon really hasn't grown 

205
00:10:18,100 --> 00:10:20,000
Revenue that much in the past. 
10 years. 

206
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:23,300
The cash flows look very similar
over the past 20 years. 

207
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:25,600
They've been diluting 
shareholders as well to finance 

208
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:28,900
their operations and they have a
breathtaking amount of debt. 

209
00:10:28,900 --> 00:10:31,900
The amount of debt is Is 
literally over 100 billion 

210
00:10:31,900 --> 00:10:34,000
dollars. 
So this giant Telecom company, 

211
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,100
that's luring investors in is 
really nothing more than a value

212
00:10:37,100 --> 00:10:39,700
trap. 
The company has caught investors

213
00:10:39,900 --> 00:10:43,500
and kept them there in a company
that's producing zero returns 

214
00:10:43,500 --> 00:10:46,600
over extended periods of time. 
And this isn't the only one to 

215
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,000
do this. 
We have Investments like AT&T, 

216
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:51,000
this is one investment that I 
was in. 

217
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:54,900
I barely eked out a return on 
this company by simply luckily 

218
00:10:54,900 --> 00:10:58,700
timing the buy and sell of it. 
But overall 18, he was not an 

219
00:10:58,700 --> 00:11:02,000
attractive investment. 
What really lured me into AT&T 

220
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:05,200
was the same thing that lured. 
Many other investors into this 

221
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:07,600
company. 
The starting dividend yield of 

222
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:12,300
nearly seven percent the high 
very high starting yield that 

223
00:11:12,300 --> 00:11:15,700
was so it's just so tempting to 
buy into companies where you 

224
00:11:15,700 --> 00:11:18,700
think you're going to get paid 
back that much every single 

225
00:11:18,700 --> 00:11:22,200
year, what it really turns out 
to be where you're waiting 

226
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:25,400
around hoping that the company 
will at least maintain its value

227
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:29,600
while it pays out this cash flow
and the case of Verizon and AT&T

228
00:11:29,700 --> 00:11:32,800
AT&T the company's fundamentals 
are very poor. 

229
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:36,400
The competitive Dynamics are 
very poor, the profitability, 

230
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:39,600
the balance sheet are very poor,
and the Investments, as a 

231
00:11:39,608 --> 00:11:44,400
result, stumble AT&T is down 41 
percent over the past decade. 

232
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:47,400
And they recently just slash 
their dividend to half of what 

233
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:48,800
it used to be. 
Making it. 

234
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:51,400
So that even the people that 
were in this company, for the 

235
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:54,200
dividend are not getting their 
payday anymore. 

236
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:57,400
So the number one mistake here 
is crucial to avoid for every 

237
00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:01,600
investor don't focus on. 
The starting yield if your major

238
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:04,900
focus is finding companies with 
high starting yields, most of 

239
00:12:04,900 --> 00:12:08,600
those companies are Pathways 
their roads down to companies 

240
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:13,100
that are many cases value traps.
In fact, I would argue that the 

241
00:12:13,100 --> 00:12:16,500
higher the starting yield, the 
more likely the company is to 

242
00:12:16,500 --> 00:12:19,200
become a value trap. 
It's not the case in every 

243
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:21,500
company. 
Some companies do have that 

244
00:12:21,500 --> 00:12:24,500
magical mix of a high starting 
yield while still being an 

245
00:12:24,500 --> 00:12:28,200
attractive Growth Company. 
But in most cases, High starting

246
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:29,900
yields mean value trap. 
Soooo. 

247
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,600
Ironically, one of the things 
that I get criticized the most 

248
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:36,400
on my channel is that I'm a 
dividend investor that focuses, 

249
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:39,500
too much on companies with low. 
Starting yields, I recently 

250
00:12:39,500 --> 00:12:43,700
bought into SP Global, SP Global
only has a point. 95 percent 

251
00:12:43,700 --> 00:12:47,900
starting yield, very low, this 
isn't any AT&T or Verizon? 

252
00:12:47,900 --> 00:12:51,600
I also bought into Master card. 
MasterCard, has even a lower 

253
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:55,400
starting yield Point 61 percent.
No, not all companies that I buy

254
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:57,200
have very low. 
Starting yields, some of them 

255
00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,300
are a bit higher in the 
restaurant category. 

256
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:02,300
Roadhouse was a company that I 
bought the at the time, I was 

257
00:13:02,300 --> 00:13:05,400
buying, it had a two point, five
percent starting dividend yield.

258
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:09,300
This one has a decent yield but 
it's still no Verizon or AT&T 

259
00:13:09,300 --> 00:13:12,200
but either way a lot of my 
companies have a lower starting 

260
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:15,600
yields than most dividend 
investors and this is done 

261
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,200
intentionally. 
The companies that I'm focusing 

262
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:22,400
on are not value traps, they're 
not companies that have flat 

263
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:26,200
risky or low growth dividends 
they are companies that have the

264
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:29,900
economic capability to grow 
their dividends at very Rapid 

265
00:13:29,900 --> 00:13:32,200
rates. 
While Texas, Roadhouse only has 

266
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:34,800
a starting dividend. 
Yield of 2%, that's nowhere. 

267
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:38,700
Close to Verizon or AT&T. 
It has something different than 

268
00:13:38,700 --> 00:13:41,300
Verizon or AT&T the dividends 
growing. 

269
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:45,500
And it's growing at a very, very
fast rate back in. 2011, the 

270
00:13:45,500 --> 00:13:49,100
dividend was only eight pennies 
per share, eight cents per 

271
00:13:49,100 --> 00:13:50,600
share. 
And then, the most recent 

272
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:55,700
dividend, 10 years later is 55 
cents per share, it's compounded

273
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:59,600
at an annualized rate of 16.4% 
per year. 

274
00:14:00,300 --> 00:14:04,100
So the dividends for five times 
bigger than it was a decade ago,

275
00:14:04,300 --> 00:14:07,400
four or five times bigger. 
That means that the investors 

276
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:11,700
that bought 10 years ago. 
Now have a yield on cost of over

277
00:14:11,700 --> 00:14:15,200
eight percent higher than the 
Verizon or AT&T dividend. 

278
00:14:15,300 --> 00:14:17,900
And while they've had that 
incredible dividend growth four 

279
00:14:17,900 --> 00:14:21,000
or five Xing their dividend 
payment, they've also had 

280
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:26,500
massive capital appreciation 347
percent so investors in Texas 

281
00:14:26,500 --> 00:14:29,300
Roadhouse are sitting much more 
pretty than the investors and 

282
00:14:29,700 --> 00:14:33,700
Xander AT&T the ones that were 
suckered in to the high starting

283
00:14:33,700 --> 00:14:36,600
yields have flat dividend 
payments or ones that are being 

284
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,500
cut companies that haven't made 
any gains. 

285
00:14:39,500 --> 00:14:42,500
And they overall have total 
returns that are negative. 

286
00:14:42,700 --> 00:14:45,600
The investors it instead focused
on companies that can grow their

287
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:47,600
dividend. 
Payment have a dividend payment,

288
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:51,100
that's four or five times what 
it was 10 years ago and gains 

289
00:14:51,100 --> 00:14:54,000
and capital appreciation that 
are 350%. 

290
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:57,800
The evidence routinely favors 
companies that focus on dividend

291
00:14:57,800 --> 00:14:59,600
growth, not companies that 
Focus. 

292
00:14:59,700 --> 00:15:02,700
Sun-hi starting yields, we can 
take MasterCard as another 

293
00:15:02,700 --> 00:15:04,700
example. 
This is one that a lot of 

294
00:15:04,700 --> 00:15:07,600
dividend investors will 
criticized for having a very low

295
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:12,800
starting yield only Point 61 
percent, it seems insignificant 

296
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:15,000
at first look. 
But when you consider the actual

297
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:17,500
growth of the dividend over 
time, it puts things into 

298
00:15:17,500 --> 00:15:21,300
context back in 2011. 
The dividend payment was two 

299
00:15:21,300 --> 00:15:24,800
pennies per share over the past 
five years, like, Texas 

300
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:26,100
Roadhouse. 
They've been growing the 

301
00:15:26,100 --> 00:15:30,300
dividend at around 18 percent 
per year when you Compound. 

302
00:15:30,300 --> 00:15:34,500
Something even at a low starting
base at 20% per year. 

303
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:38,300
The growth is astronomical. 
That compounding turns a very 

304
00:15:38,300 --> 00:15:40,900
low, starting yield into a very 
high dividend payment. 

305
00:15:40,900 --> 00:15:44,300
In a short amount of time going 
from two pennies to half a 

306
00:15:44,308 --> 00:15:47,200
dollar in 10 years. 
What this reminds me of is the 

307
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:50,600
experiments with Children of 
delayed gratification whether 

308
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:54,200
they can wait a minute to get a 
marshmallow or two marshmallows,

309
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:56,700
a couple minutes later, the kids
that were willing to delay 

310
00:15:56,700 --> 00:15:59,400
gratification a little bit 
longer had overall better. 

311
00:15:59,700 --> 00:16:01,700
Burns. 
I think as investors we get 

312
00:16:01,700 --> 00:16:04,500
tested in the same way, are you 
really needing that high 

313
00:16:04,500 --> 00:16:07,800
starting yield right now today? 
Or can you delay that 

314
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:10,800
gratification a little bit 
invest in, very good companies, 

315
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:13,500
will 5x your dividend payment, 
over the next 10 years. 

316
00:16:13,700 --> 00:16:17,000
Give you capital appreciation 
and a boosted amount of income 

317
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:19,000
at the same time the way Ted 
judge. 

318
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:22,100
If a company is able to pay you 
a growing dividend over. 

319
00:16:22,100 --> 00:16:25,200
The next decade is all about the
financials of the company. 

320
00:16:25,300 --> 00:16:28,500
If you use qual trim.com as an 
example, to look at a company, 

321
00:16:28,700 --> 00:16:31,600
we have Texas here, Road House. 
How do I judge of Texas 

322
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:34,100
Roadhouse can pay me a growing 
dividend over time? 

323
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:35,900
Well, there's a couple important
things I can. 

324
00:16:35,900 --> 00:16:39,400
Look at first of all, is the 
growth profile of the company. 

325
00:16:39,700 --> 00:16:42,500
We look at the revenue. 
Growth is the revenue growing on

326
00:16:42,500 --> 00:16:45,300
a consistent basis above the 
rate of inflation. 

327
00:16:45,500 --> 00:16:49,200
In the case of Texas Roadhouse, 
that is a yes and it's growing 

328
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:51,700
organically not through 
Acquisitions. 

329
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:55,700
So it's growing every single 
year year over year at twelve 

330
00:16:55,700 --> 00:16:59,500
point five six percent without 
doing major acquisitions. 

331
00:16:59,700 --> 00:17:01,400
Next thing that we look at is 
the free cash flow. 

332
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:04,500
Growth of the company in the 
case of Texas Roadhouse, is this

333
00:17:04,500 --> 00:17:06,700
growing on a semi consistent 
basis? 

334
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:09,200
Yes, it is. 
In fact, it's growing at a very 

335
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:13,400
fast speed 15 percent over the 
past 10 years, the cash flows 

336
00:17:13,599 --> 00:17:16,099
are the initial thing. 
The company has to pay the 

337
00:17:16,099 --> 00:17:18,000
dividend. 
So if the free cash flow is not 

338
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:21,300
growing and the dividend is 
growing, that just means that 

339
00:17:21,300 --> 00:17:23,900
the company's paying you a 
higher percentage of their free 

340
00:17:23,900 --> 00:17:27,400
cash flow and eventually, they 
cannot maintain that they'll 

341
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:29,500
have to cut it like they did 
with it. 

342
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:32,900
Until wild Texas Roadhouse is 
growing the free cash flow over 

343
00:17:32,900 --> 00:17:36,100
time leading to a fast. 
Growing dividend companies like 

344
00:17:36,100 --> 00:17:38,400
Intel had cash flows that were 
shrinking. 

345
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:40,300
They were flat for a long period
of time. 

346
00:17:40,300 --> 00:17:43,900
Then they went down and so did 
the dividend the dividend 

347
00:17:43,900 --> 00:17:46,700
follows the cash flows. 
If the cash flows grow very 

348
00:17:46,700 --> 00:17:48,400
fast, the dividend will grow 
fast. 

349
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:51,300
If the cash flows shrink, the 
dividend will shrink. 

350
00:17:51,300 --> 00:17:54,100
So back to Texas Roadhouse. 
We look at the cash flows. 

351
00:17:54,100 --> 00:17:55,800
We look at the net income 
growth. 

352
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:57,300
We look at the earnings per 
share growth. 

353
00:17:57,300 --> 00:18:01,000
This is a good growth profile. 
It gives me confidence that this

354
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:05,300
company has a long history. 
They have the recipe of growth, 

355
00:18:05,300 --> 00:18:08,300
the management has been able to 
do this on a consistent basis 

356
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:11,800
and aside from a lot of things, 
you hair past results in 

357
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:15,000
specific, companies is 
oftentimes indicated of of 

358
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,500
future results, especially if 
the same situation and 

359
00:18:17,500 --> 00:18:20,100
environment exists. 
Nothing has really changed 

360
00:18:20,100 --> 00:18:22,700
competitively in terms of Texas 
Roadhouse. 

361
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:25,300
So I expect similar levels of 
growth in the future. 

362
00:18:25,500 --> 00:18:29,400
And then finally, the balance 
sheet is a huge indicator of a 

363
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:31,200
country's. 
Company's ability to pay future 

364
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:33,700
dividends. 
In the case of Texas Roadhouse, 

365
00:18:34,100 --> 00:18:36,300
we can take a look at their cash
and debt. 

366
00:18:36,500 --> 00:18:38,700
They have more cash than debt 
right now. 

367
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:42,300
In fact, last quarter, Texas 
Roadhouse paid off the remainder

368
00:18:42,300 --> 00:18:46,000
of all of their long-term debt. 
So they have zero long-term 

369
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:47,500
debt. 
The only thing they have in 

370
00:18:47,500 --> 00:18:50,500
terms of liabilities is their 
Capital leases which are 

371
00:18:50,500 --> 00:18:53,800
basically rental payments on 
their restaurants, but this is 

372
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:57,000
it, they have a lot of cash, 
they have no long-term debt 

373
00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:00,900
which gives them an incredible 
amount of The in their Capital 

374
00:19:00,900 --> 00:19:04,000
allocation so not only do I have
incredible confidence that this 

375
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:05,800
company can continue to pay a 
dividend. 

376
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:08,900
I have lots of confidence that 
they can grow at a continually 

377
00:19:08,900 --> 00:19:12,200
attractive rate and this all 
comes down to the financials and

378
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:15,800
economics of a company invest in
companies that are paying a 

379
00:19:15,808 --> 00:19:19,200
dividend that have growing 
revenues cash flows, net income 

380
00:19:19,300 --> 00:19:22,500
earnings per share companies 
that have declining share count 

381
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:25,100
and strong balance sheets. 
Those are ones that will be able

382
00:19:25,100 --> 00:19:27,600
to continually pay growing 
dividends in the future. 

383
00:19:27,700 --> 00:19:30,600
So I believe David investors 
would be Well, served to stop 

384
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:34,200
focusing, their efforts so much 
on high starting guilds instead,

385
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:37,300
focus on companies that have 
everything in place to have, 

386
00:19:37,300 --> 00:19:40,600
strong organic dividend growth 
for a long period of time in the

387
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:42,800
future companies that can do 
this. 

388
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:46,600
Have great economics, good 
competitive Dynamics companies 

389
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:48,300
that have very strong balance 
sheets. 

390
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:51,800
These are ones that lead to 
Alpha 2 out performance. 

391
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:54,600
These are the strong dividend 
companies that pay year after 

392
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:57,800
year, after year, the ones that 
have the high starting yields, 

393
00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:01,400
the ones that are value traps, 
they Often lead investors down 

394
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:04,300
the worst route where they're 
stuck in a company where the 

395
00:20:04,300 --> 00:20:07,400
only reason they own, it is a 
dividend and they eventually 

396
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:09,200
capitulate and end up selling 
it. 

397
00:20:09,300 --> 00:20:11,000
We've all been in those 
companies at one point or 

398
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:13,400
another, so it's time to focus 
on better companies. 

399
00:20:13,500 --> 00:20:16,100
Now, the next big mistake that I
see a lot of different investors

400
00:20:16,100 --> 00:20:20,700
making is over diversification. 
Now diversification is not all 

401
00:20:20,700 --> 00:20:23,900
bad, I don't think you should be
all inning a single company. 

402
00:20:23,900 --> 00:20:27,100
That is overall, very risky. 
There's two different types of 

403
00:20:27,100 --> 00:20:30,600
basic risks in the stock market.
There's Specific risk. 

404
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:34,200
What are specific to a company, 
meaning the management team. 

405
00:20:34,500 --> 00:20:38,000
The chance, the company does 
fraud the chance to company, 

406
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,100
gets out competed by a different
company. 

407
00:20:40,300 --> 00:20:44,300
Those are all specific risks to 
a specific company, but then 

408
00:20:44,300 --> 00:20:47,800
there's systemic risk. 
Systematic risk is the risk of 

409
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:52,100
the overall World economy. 
Things like pandemics things, 

410
00:20:52,100 --> 00:20:55,600
like Wars things, like famine. 
These are systemic risks that we

411
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:59,400
really can't diversify away from
so diversification. 

412
00:20:59,500 --> 00:21:02,900
Is an opportunity for us to 
lower the amount of risk of 

413
00:21:02,900 --> 00:21:07,200
specific risks, specific to any 
singular company, but the data 

414
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:10,400
shows empirically that. 
Once you have over seven to 10 

415
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:13,500
different companies, the 
specific risk is basically 

416
00:21:13,500 --> 00:21:15,700
Diversified away to the max 
extent. 

417
00:21:15,700 --> 00:21:20,900
It's mostly gone at that point 
and Beyond then layering on more

418
00:21:20,900 --> 00:21:24,600
and more companies can 
companies, 15 companies, 20 

419
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:29,100
companies, 25, 30, 35 40 45, 
you're getting no more. 

420
00:21:29,500 --> 00:21:32,900
If it's of reduced risk at that 
point all you're doing is 

421
00:21:32,900 --> 00:21:35,800
cluttering a portfolio. 
Full of tons of different 

422
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:39,100
companies without the benefit of
any measurable risk reduction. 

423
00:21:39,100 --> 00:21:42,000
Not only are you not really 
getting any additional benefit 

424
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,900
of reducing specific risk. 
But you're also getting the 

425
00:21:44,900 --> 00:21:48,900
downside of having an overly 
complex portfolio of a group of 

426
00:21:48,900 --> 00:21:51,700
companies that you can't 
possibly pay attention to 

427
00:21:51,900 --> 00:21:54,400
extensively. 
So you're making individual 

428
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:57,100
Investments but you're spreading
them out across so many 

429
00:21:57,100 --> 00:21:59,400
companies that you really can't 
keep up. 

430
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:03,700
All of them in my portfolio, 
I've tried to mimic it where I'm

431
00:22:03,700 --> 00:22:05,700
getting the most bang for my 
buck. 

432
00:22:05,900 --> 00:22:10,300
I have ten core positions SP 
Global MasterCard into it 

433
00:22:10,300 --> 00:22:14,200
Microsoft and Apple. 
That's 5vg, Costco Texas, 

434
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:17,900
Roadhouse Canadian Pacific and 
Union Pacific right at ten core 

435
00:22:17,900 --> 00:22:20,200
positions. 
I'm getting the maximum benefit 

436
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:23,000
of reducing specific risk. 
I'm right in that nice. 

437
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:26,000
Part of the curve there, but I 
also don't have so many 

438
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:29,400
companies that I can't possibly 
keep track of them I can. 

439
00:22:29,500 --> 00:22:32,600
Keep track of 10 companies so I 
do believe in being Diversified 

440
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:36,600
but not being over Diversified 
at a lot of portfolios, I see 

441
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:39,700
from dividend vestries, our 
portfolios with 50 different 

442
00:22:39,700 --> 00:22:41,900
companies. 
So many companies that half the 

443
00:22:41,900 --> 00:22:43,900
time. 
I think these investors can't 

444
00:22:43,900 --> 00:22:45,800
even remember the amount of 
companies they have in their 

445
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:48,200
portfolios. 
If you're doing that, you're 

446
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:51,600
just lazily investing putting 
money into dozens and dozens of 

447
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:54,200
companies without properly doing
research on them. 

448
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:57,800
And then finally, the last thing
that I see a lot of dividend 

449
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:02,000
investors doing that I think is 
Mistake is investing into bad 

450
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:04,800
Industries, bad companies and 
bad Industries. 

451
00:23:05,100 --> 00:23:06,800
Now this can come off as a very 
harsh. 

452
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:09,800
Criticism me saying that these 
are bad companies but this is 

453
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:11,900
just my opinion. 
I do think a lot of the 

454
00:23:11,900 --> 00:23:15,000
Investments That dividend 
investors by are in companies 

455
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:17,900
that are a lot of Industrials 
their Capital intensive. 

456
00:23:17,900 --> 00:23:21,400
They're overly complex, a lot of
these industries are incredibly 

457
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:25,800
difficult to operate it and I've
made this same mistake before. 

458
00:23:26,100 --> 00:23:28,700
So when I'm criticizing other 
people's Investments, I'm 

459
00:23:28,700 --> 00:23:31,400
criticizing. 
My previous Investments as well.

460
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:33,900
I used to own three hundred 
dollars of Boeing. 

461
00:23:33,900 --> 00:23:36,200
It was one of my first 
Investments, I viewed the 

462
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:39,900
company as this big duopoly with
Airbus, it was just one of the 

463
00:23:39,900 --> 00:23:42,900
big companies that seemed like, 
it was unbeatable to me. 

464
00:23:42,900 --> 00:23:45,500
But what I quickly learned is, 
that Boeing is an incredibly 

465
00:23:45,500 --> 00:23:48,400
complex company. 
It has an entire chain of events

466
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:51,500
that has to happen. 
Huge manufacturing processes 

467
00:23:51,700 --> 00:23:55,900
tons of quality assurance tons 
of liability potential lawsuits.

468
00:23:56,100 --> 00:23:59,400
Long-term contracts, the amount 
of complexity in this business 

469
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:03,000
Is incredible running, it would 
be trying to run a small 

470
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:04,400
country. 
So, Boeing's, one of these 

471
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:07,600
companies, it's incredibly 
complex difficult to understand 

472
00:24:07,700 --> 00:24:11,300
very Capital intensive, and has 
tons of various risk factors 

473
00:24:11,300 --> 00:24:14,000
that investors can't properly 
put into their analysis. 

474
00:24:14,300 --> 00:24:16,800
There's no way you can 
accurately quantify the amount 

475
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:19,100
of risk in this company. 
And I see the same thing with a 

476
00:24:19,108 --> 00:24:22,300
lot of other industries that I 
considered a not be the greatest

477
00:24:22,300 --> 00:24:25,500
Industries to invest in Intel 
being an example of how 

478
00:24:25,500 --> 00:24:29,100
unpredictable it is to be a chip
maker and videos leading the 

479
00:24:29,100 --> 00:24:31,000
race. 
Right now and videos what's 

480
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:34,900
drawing everybody's attention. 
But in tell what's King not too 

481
00:24:34,900 --> 00:24:39,300
long ago they controlled the 
world with chips and now how far

482
00:24:39,300 --> 00:24:41,800
they've fallen and I see so many
investors getting drawn into 

483
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:44,900
these companies 3M. 
Another company having a high 

484
00:24:44,900 --> 00:24:47,800
dividend yield that's been one. 
That's so far, has been a value 

485
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:51,500
trap for a long period of time 
down nine percent over the past 

486
00:24:51,500 --> 00:24:53,100
10 years. 
The companies that I've been 

487
00:24:53,100 --> 00:24:56,200
gravitating to and I've been 
trying to urge investors to 

488
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:59,400
gravitate to are ones that are 
more simple and have it. 

489
00:24:59,500 --> 00:25:02,100
An onyx that are better for 
longer periods of time. 

490
00:25:02,300 --> 00:25:06,300
SP Global shares, a monopoly 
between them and Moody's. 

491
00:25:06,300 --> 00:25:09,700
Both companies benefit mutually,
I've been bullish on Microsoft 

492
00:25:09,700 --> 00:25:12,200
for a long period of time. 
A company that has great 

493
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:15,700
competitive Dynamics by virtue 
of its massive, monopolistic 

494
00:25:15,700 --> 00:25:19,300
mode, even Costco's a company 
that seemingly more expensive, 

495
00:25:19,300 --> 00:25:22,400
but it's more predictable and it
has a more simple business model

496
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:25,200
that's easier to operate and 
easier to execute. 

497
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:27,600
It's much easier to open up a 
new warehouse and sell some 

498
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:29,400
memberships than it is to try 
to. 

499
00:25:29,500 --> 00:25:33,000
Create the next big aircraft. 
So my final piece of advice for 

500
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:36,400
dividend investors is to focus 
on industries that are overall. 

501
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:39,100
Good Industries, where 
everybody's winning in that 

502
00:25:39,100 --> 00:25:41,700
industry where you're fishing in
a good Pond. 

503
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:44,900
Not trying to pick winners. 
Among the losers focus on 

504
00:25:44,900 --> 00:25:48,700
companies that aren't Capital 
intensive or overly complex ones

505
00:25:48,700 --> 00:25:52,100
that are simple and predictable.
If we do this I think we'll have

506
00:25:52,100 --> 00:25:55,000
better returns overall and I 
think that dividend investing 

507
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:56,600
will be looked at more 
favorably. 

508
00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:59,900
Overall, it won't be so 
associated with buying Boeing 

509
00:25:59,900 --> 00:26:03,100
complex companies that are many 
cases value traps. 

510
00:26:03,300 --> 00:26:05,600
This is what I've been doing 
with my portfolio. 

511
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:08,700
It's the strategy that I've been
merging over to and I think it 

512
00:26:08,700 --> 00:26:12,100
more closely mimics and aligns 
with what Warren Buffett did his

513
00:26:12,100 --> 00:26:15,400
entire career, especially his 
early career focusing. 

514
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:18,600
On companies that not only paid 
him cash loads but they had 

515
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:22,300
strong organic growth profiles. 
That would pay him growing cash 

516
00:26:22,300 --> 00:26:25,300
flows in the future and then 
reinvesting those cash flows 

517
00:26:25,300 --> 00:26:28,200
into other good opportunities. 
So that's my thoughts overall on

518
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:31,000
this issue and my biggest Advice
of what I've learned over the 

519
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:33,200
past five years. 
Let me know what you think. 

520
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:34,700
If you disagree. 
That's fine. 

521
00:26:34,900 --> 00:26:37,400
But let me know, either way, I'd
be happy to discuss in the 

522
00:26:37,408 --> 00:26:39,700
comments. 
Now, moving on we have some big 

523
00:26:39,700 --> 00:26:43,000
news from Mark Zuckerberg, 
making some big moves. 

524
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:47,200
He's now competing directly with
Twitter meta, has unveiled two 

525
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:50,000
employees, a standalone app at 
plans to launch through 

526
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:51,700
Instagram to compete with 
Twitter. 

527
00:26:52,100 --> 00:26:55,700
Now it's interesting wordage. 
There they say it's a standalone

528
00:26:55,700 --> 00:26:58,600
app but they're going to launch 
it through Instagram. 

529
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:00,800
We'll get to what That means in 
a minute here. 

530
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:04,800
They say that this was revealed 
by Chris Cox, the chief product 

531
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:08,700
officer Cox told employees that 
meta has heard from creators and

532
00:27:08,700 --> 00:27:11,600
public figures. 
Who want a quote sanely run 

533
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:13,800
platform. 
The people that I think want a 

534
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:18,800
sale iRun platform are a lot of.
I think politicians that don't 

535
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:21,800
like the Elan is running 
Twitter, they don't like that. 

536
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:24,400
He's running the platform. 
It's a highly political thing. 

537
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:27,000
So people have very, very strong
views on Ilan. 

538
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:29,700
Some people don't like them if 
they don't like Him. 

539
00:27:29,700 --> 00:27:32,100
They don't want to support the 
platform so they want an 

540
00:27:32,100 --> 00:27:34,700
alternative. 
Those people are the one that 

541
00:27:34,700 --> 00:27:37,100
are saying that elon's, not 
saying he's not running the 

542
00:27:37,100 --> 00:27:40,700
company saying lie, so they want
an alternative and met as their 

543
00:27:40,700 --> 00:27:43,200
to the rescue. 
The company is in talks to have 

544
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:46,600
people such as Oprah Winfrey, 
and Dali Lama commit to using 

545
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:48,600
the app. 
Adding that meta hopes to launch

546
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:50,900
it. 
Quote as soon as we can, and the

547
00:27:50,900 --> 00:27:54,600
app is internally codenamed, 
project 92, a person. 

548
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:57,800
Familiar with the software said,
why they named it that I have no

549
00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:01,500
clue, it sounds kind of Cool. 
But we don't know anything about

550
00:28:01,500 --> 00:28:03,400
the name there. 
So we don't have much details on

551
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:05,200
this. 
But let me make a very early 

552
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:08,000
judgment here based on the 
history that I've studied with 

553
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:10,800
meta. 
This is what they're best at. 

554
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:12,700
This is right in their 
wheelhouse. 

555
00:28:12,700 --> 00:28:15,300
This is what they consider to be
their super power. 

556
00:28:15,300 --> 00:28:18,700
They can take different features
from different social media, 

557
00:28:18,900 --> 00:28:21,000
they can integrate it or rebuild
it. 

558
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:24,500
And then they can push major 
usage and engagement on. 

559
00:28:24,500 --> 00:28:28,200
It Mehta has proven their 
ability to do this over and over

560
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:31,000
and over again. 
Reels and stories were features 

561
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:32,800
that they took from different 
platforms. 

562
00:28:32,900 --> 00:28:35,500
They integrated it onto an 
existing platform, to great 

563
00:28:35,500 --> 00:28:37,300
success. 
But this is a bit of a more 

564
00:28:37,300 --> 00:28:40,000
aggressive challenge. 
They're not only trying to just 

565
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,500
integrate a new feature. 
They're trying to completely 

566
00:28:42,500 --> 00:28:45,900
replicate Twitter and do it 
better and build it to a 

567
00:28:45,900 --> 00:28:50,000
successful platform. 
So this is what they're good at,

568
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:52,100
but I think this is a bit more 
aggressive. 

569
00:28:52,100 --> 00:28:55,700
I think it's a bit more risky, 
but I'm still going to side on 

570
00:28:55,700 --> 00:28:57,700
the side of meta. 
I think they'll be able to pull 

571
00:28:57,700 --> 00:28:59,300
this off. 
I think they'll be able to push 

572
00:28:59,500 --> 00:29:02,800
Major engagement and usage on 
the Twitter competitor. 

573
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:06,100
And the reason being is that 
they've proven again, that 

574
00:29:06,100 --> 00:29:09,100
they're incredibly good at this,
what they're doing is they're 

575
00:29:09,100 --> 00:29:12,400
launching it through Instagram. 
So what I assume they're going 

576
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:14,500
to be doing with this, is there 
going to be using your 

577
00:29:14,500 --> 00:29:16,800
information? 
You've already given them on 

578
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:20,800
Instagram to Auto populate 
accounts on this new Twitter, 

579
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:23,300
competitor. 
Now that you have your account 

580
00:29:23,300 --> 00:29:26,800
already made you already have 
the onboarding process done. 

581
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:29,300
All you have to do is just log 
in and open it up. 

582
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:31,200
Up. 
You have your Twitter copy 

583
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:33,700
account? 
Some meta is removing all the 

584
00:29:33,700 --> 00:29:36,300
friction by using all the 
information. 

585
00:29:36,300 --> 00:29:40,300
They already have to bridge. 
The gap between Instagram and 

586
00:29:40,300 --> 00:29:43,300
the Twitter competitor if they 
did it that way, that would be a

587
00:29:43,300 --> 00:29:46,400
brilliant move by meta and make 
the chances of success even 

588
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:48,300
greater for this. 
So we don't know if this is 

589
00:29:48,300 --> 00:29:51,100
going to be ultimately 
successful so far, but if I was 

590
00:29:51,100 --> 00:29:53,500
a meta investor I would be 
pretty bullish on this. 

591
00:29:53,500 --> 00:29:56,400
I do think it's something that's
going to be a likely success. 

592
00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:59,900
Now, on the same subject of meta
and Mark Zuckerberg We get to 

593
00:29:59,900 --> 00:30:04,200
see his initial first public 
reaction to the Apple Vision Pro

594
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:06,000
headset. 
A little bit of background 

595
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:08,100
between Mark Zuckerberg and 
apple. 

596
00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:12,100
Mark Zuckerberg is very calm, 
and he's very level-headed in 

597
00:30:12,100 --> 00:30:14,400
the way that he talks about 
Apple and the way that he talks 

598
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:17,900
about Tim Cook, but I believe 
strongly the underneath, this 

599
00:30:17,900 --> 00:30:21,700
very calm demeanor, there is a 
certain hatred that he has for 

600
00:30:21,700 --> 00:30:23,400
Apple. 
I don't think that he only 

601
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:26,100
dislikes the company and has a 
friendly competition with him. 

602
00:30:26,300 --> 00:30:28,200
I think he has utter disdain for
them. 

603
00:30:28,500 --> 00:30:31,600
Apple has Been bullying meta 
mercilessly. 

604
00:30:31,700 --> 00:30:35,100
Doing add changes doing things 
that hurt his business and take 

605
00:30:35,100 --> 00:30:38,900
billions of dollars out of his 
company, his employees and his 

606
00:30:38,900 --> 00:30:40,800
wallet. 
And he doesn't like that. 

607
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:43,500
Mark Zuckerberg is incredibly 
competitive, he shown that in 

608
00:30:43,500 --> 00:30:45,800
both his personal life and his 
business life. 

609
00:30:45,900 --> 00:30:49,500
He doesn't like being beholden 
to Apple in order to circumvent 

610
00:30:49,500 --> 00:30:51,400
apple and their App Store 
policies. 

611
00:30:51,700 --> 00:30:55,200
Mark Zuckerberg has been looking
for ways to go around the 

612
00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:59,200
hardware Monopoly that Apple has
and his way of doing that is not

613
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:03,200
The phone, not through the 
laptop but through the headset 

614
00:31:03,300 --> 00:31:05,800
he believes that this is the 
next generation of computing. 

615
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:08,800
He's come out with the Oculus. 
He's made massive investments 

616
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:13,300
into this category and hopes to 
have his own physical platform 

617
00:31:13,500 --> 00:31:16,400
where he no longer has to 
operate through Apple's App 

618
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:19,900
Store Monopoly, but then we have
apple releasing The Vision Pro 

619
00:31:20,300 --> 00:31:22,500
in my estimation. 
I think that Apple did what they

620
00:31:22,500 --> 00:31:24,600
do best. 
They came out with a premium 

621
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:28,400
item as higher. 
Resolution lower latency has 

622
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:30,000
very good specs. 
It's very good. 

623
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:33,600
Build quality and overall seems 
like a highly polished device. 

624
00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:37,400
It comes in at a more expensive 
price point and that's the major

625
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:39,700
Focus. 
But here we have the 

626
00:31:39,700 --> 00:31:44,300
head-to-head battle between meta
and Oculus in all of his various

627
00:31:44,300 --> 00:31:46,500
headsets and the Apple Vision 
Pro. 

628
00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:49,800
Here's what Zuckerberg said, in 
his initial reaction, seeing the

629
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:52,900
Vision Pro release a few 
high-level thoughts. 

630
00:31:52,900 --> 00:32:00,000
I mean first you know, I do 
think that this is A certain 

631
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:03,900
level of validation for the 
category, right? 

632
00:32:03,900 --> 00:32:07,800
Where, you know, we were the 
primary folks out there before 

633
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:12,000
saying hey, I think that this 
virtual reality augmented 

634
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:14,300
reality mixed reality. 
This is going to be a big part 

635
00:32:14,300 --> 00:32:20,700
of the next Computing platform. 
I think having Apple come in and

636
00:32:20,700 --> 00:32:27,300
share that vision We'll make a 
lot of people who are fans of 

637
00:32:27,300 --> 00:32:30,300
their products really consider 
that. 

638
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:34,500
And then, the first one that he 
makes is one of product and 

639
00:32:34,500 --> 00:32:39,200
category validation by Apple 
entering, in to the a, our VR 

640
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:42,500
headset game. 
They have thus validated that 

641
00:32:42,500 --> 00:32:44,900
category of product is being a 
valid product. 

642
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:48,500
And that logic seems simple. 
I think this is a very good. 

643
00:32:48,500 --> 00:32:51,300
Go to reaction by Mark 
Zuckerberg. 

644
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:54,900
The problem is, this is the 
reaction that literally, every 

645
00:32:55,100 --> 00:32:59,400
CEO says, when Apple steps into 
their category and competes 

646
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:02,700
directly with them, take, for 
example, when Apple stepped into

647
00:33:02,700 --> 00:33:06,600
fitness, they offer a fitness 
service called Fitness Plus, 

648
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:08,900
Peloton, was already in this 
game. 

649
00:33:08,900 --> 00:33:11,700
They're the biggest ones by far 
in this category. 

650
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:15,900
The Peloton CEO was one of 
optimism saying that it's quote,

651
00:33:16,100 --> 00:33:19,300
quite a legitimization of 
Fitness content. 

652
00:33:19,300 --> 00:33:23,500
That is the big headline their 
apple entering into the category

653
00:33:23,500 --> 00:33:26,500
is a good thing. 
It Is this Fitness content and 

654
00:33:26,500 --> 00:33:29,500
its overall going to lead to 
Greater sales for Peloton, but 

655
00:33:29,500 --> 00:33:32,400
the stock price since this was 
posted for Peloton is down 

656
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:37,000
around 70% and there's no 
evidence whatsoever that Apple 

657
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:40,600
entering in to Fitness. 
Content has helped Peloton 

658
00:33:40,700 --> 00:33:43,200
whatsoever. 
All it's done, is created a 

659
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:46,500
massive competitor to something 
that they uniquely owned, 

660
00:33:46,900 --> 00:33:49,600
companies should be able to 
legitimize their own products 

661
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:53,200
without having the biggest, most
powerful company in the world 

662
00:33:53,300 --> 00:33:56,100
compete directly with them. 
When Apple Competed with Amazon 

663
00:33:56,100 --> 00:33:58,200
with the fire phone. 
It didn't help them and it 

664
00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:00,400
certainly didn't help the zoom 
when they competed with 

665
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:04,200
Microsoft when Apple steps in 
and competes headfirst with a 

666
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:07,900
separate company saying it. 
Legitimizes a category is a nice

667
00:34:07,900 --> 00:34:10,600
thing to say but I don't see a 
lot of evidence that that's the 

668
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:12,300
case. 
The next thing that he moves on 

669
00:34:12,300 --> 00:34:15,699
to is the big price point, 
really consider that. 

670
00:34:17,100 --> 00:34:23,000
And then of course the thirty 
five hundred dollar price you 

671
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:24,800
know on the one hand to get it 
forward. 

672
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:27,000
All the If they're trying to 
pack in there on the other hand,

673
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:30,000
a lot of people aren't going to 
find that to be affordable. 

674
00:34:30,500 --> 00:34:34,100
Apples headset. 
At $3500 is unaffordable way too

675
00:34:34,100 --> 00:34:37,199
expensive for most people. 
This reminds me a little bit of 

676
00:34:37,199 --> 00:34:39,600
Steve Ballmer being asked about 
the iPhone. 

677
00:34:39,900 --> 00:34:43,000
They let me ask you about the 
iPhone and the Zune. 

678
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:47,699
If I may Zoom was getting some 
traction, then Steve Jobs goes 

679
00:34:47,699 --> 00:34:50,000
to macworld and he pulls out 
this iPhone. 

680
00:34:50,199 --> 00:34:54,900
What was your first reaction 
when you saw that $500? 

681
00:34:55,199 --> 00:34:58,400
The first thing that comes out 
of his mouth and criticism of 

682
00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:02,300
Apple being a legitimate 
competitor to Microsoft was five

683
00:35:02,300 --> 00:35:07,200
hundred dollars at the time. 
That was extremely expensive for

684
00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:11,000
phone far more expensive than 
any competitor or any existing 

685
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:14,200
phone on the market. 
And apple was likewise scoffed 

686
00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:17,400
at and mocked for being way too 
expensive and far Out Of Reach 

687
00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:19,500
of other people. 
Now, Mark Zuckerberg doesn't say

688
00:35:19,500 --> 00:35:22,600
this with as mocking of a tone 
but the concern is very similar.

689
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:25,900
So I think there's a chance that
that them Again, actually 

690
00:35:25,900 --> 00:35:29,200
increases demand for the overall
space. 

691
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:32,800
That Quest 3 is actually the 
primary beneficiary of that. 

692
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:36,700
Because a lot of the people who 
might say, Hey, you know, this, 

693
00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:40,500
like I'm going to give another 
consideration to this or, you 

694
00:35:40,500 --> 00:35:43,300
know, now I understand maybe 
what mixed reality is more. 

695
00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:47,000
An inquest 3 is the best one on 
the market that I can that I can

696
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:49,700
afford and it's great. 
Also, right? 

697
00:35:49,700 --> 00:35:52,500
It's, I think that's and, you 
know, in our own way. 

698
00:35:52,500 --> 00:35:54,700
I think we're in there. 
A lot of features that we have 

699
00:35:54,700 --> 00:35:57,900
where we We're leading on, maybe
in a way, the Vision Pro will 

700
00:35:57,900 --> 00:36:02,000
create more demand for meta, but
I don't typically see that the 

701
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:05,400
case throughout history, when 
people want an Apple device, 

702
00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:09,400
they don't say you, I want an 
iPad but the iPads a little too 

703
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:11,500
expensive. 
So I'm going to go get a Kindle.

704
00:36:11,500 --> 00:36:13,900
I'm going to go get, I'm gonna 
go get a Fire tablet. 

705
00:36:13,900 --> 00:36:17,100
That's not often the case. 
There's always a secondary 

706
00:36:17,100 --> 00:36:19,600
Market, maybe that will happen 
in some cases. 

707
00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:23,600
But in most cases, when real 
users want to pay for a real 

708
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:26,800
device, they get the That they 
want, they have different ways 

709
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:29,400
of financing different ways of 
saving different ways of paying 

710
00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:31,800
for it. 
If someone really wants to get 

711
00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:34,000
an iPhone, they're going to find
a way to get it. 

712
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:36,400
And then obviously over time, 
the companies are just focused 

713
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:39,100
on somewhat different things, 
right? 

714
00:36:39,100 --> 00:36:45,000
Apple has always, you know, I 
think focused on building really

715
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:52,000
kind of high-end things, whereas
our Focus has been on it's just 

716
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:54,800
we've a more democratic ethos. 
We want to build things that are

717
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:59,800
Are accessible to a wider. 
Number of people, we've sold 

718
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:02,100
tens of millions of quest 
devices. 

719
00:37:04,900 --> 00:37:07,900
My understanding just based on 
rumors I don't have any special 

720
00:37:07,900 --> 00:37:10,800
knowledge on this is that apple 
is building about 1 million of 

721
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:14,700
their of their device, right? 
So the next thing he brings up 

722
00:37:14,700 --> 00:37:19,000
is one of accessibility. 
His company is building stuff. 

723
00:37:19,100 --> 00:37:21,800
That's accessible by many, many 
people, it's not priced out of 

724
00:37:21,808 --> 00:37:24,000
them. 
This is another argument that 

725
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:26,800
looking at the data, it falls 
flat. 

726
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:30,900
He's painting apple as this 
company that only sells premium 

727
00:37:30,900 --> 00:37:34,300
devices to only a very small 
number of users apples. 

728
00:37:34,300 --> 00:37:36,200
And All base. 
Over the past seven years has 

729
00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:40,100
estimated Lee doubled from 1 
billion installed devices to 

730
00:37:40,100 --> 00:37:42,800
over 2 billion installed 
devices. 

731
00:37:42,900 --> 00:37:45,000
If Apple's devices are so 
undemocratic. 

732
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:48,300
And so inaccessible, then why do
they have an installed base of 

733
00:37:48,300 --> 00:37:52,400
devices that exceeds 2 billion 
that doesn't stack up? 

734
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:55,700
Obviously, lots of people are 
able to get apples devices. 

735
00:37:55,700 --> 00:37:58,600
Lots of people from various 
income levels, we kind of come 

736
00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:01,500
at it from different places. 
We're very focused on social 

737
00:38:01,500 --> 00:38:07,600
interaction, communication. 
Being more active rights as 

738
00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:12,200
Fitness, there's gaming, there 
are those things now whereas I 

739
00:38:12,207 --> 00:38:16,500
think a lot of the use cases 
that you saw in and apples 

740
00:38:16,500 --> 00:38:20,700
launch material were more around
people sitting, you know, people

741
00:38:20,700 --> 00:38:24,400
looking at screens which are 
great I think that you will 

742
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:27,200
replace your laptop over time 
with with a with a headset. 

743
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:31,300
But but I think in terms of kind
of how the different use cases 

744
00:38:31,300 --> 00:38:34,200
that the companies are going 
after and they're there. 

745
00:38:34,500 --> 00:38:36,900
They're a bit different for for 
where we are right now. 

746
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:39,700
This is another reaction that I 
think is a little soft. 

747
00:38:39,700 --> 00:38:42,400
I think it's a bit weak. 
He's trying to paint apples 

748
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:46,400
devices, being antisocial and 
his devices being very, very 

749
00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:48,400
social. 
But when we looked at the actual

750
00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:51,500
presentation, there's not much 
distinction in terms of social 

751
00:38:51,500 --> 00:38:54,700
capability, Apple demonstrated, 
plenty of social apps with 

752
00:38:54,700 --> 00:38:59,200
FaceTime 3D videoing, looking at
a wall of people and friends and

753
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:02,100
real time, there's lots of this 
type of thing of them, standing 

754
00:39:02,100 --> 00:39:04,300
up and being active as they're 
working, and a big thing. 

755
00:39:04,500 --> 00:39:06,700
To keep in mind is the hardware 
and device. 

756
00:39:06,700 --> 00:39:10,400
Capability is just the product 
that's able to launch the apps. 

757
00:39:10,500 --> 00:39:13,900
The app Builders will get into 
the Vision Pro now and build, 

758
00:39:13,900 --> 00:39:17,700
many social apps, I anticipate 
that on the Vision Pro on 

759
00:39:17,700 --> 00:39:21,500
Apple's devices, there will be 
just as many social capabilities

760
00:39:21,500 --> 00:39:24,500
as there are on metas. 
Now overall, I like the fact 

761
00:39:24,500 --> 00:39:26,400
that Mark Zuckerberg will sit 
down and speak. 

762
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:29,400
So candidly about his reaction 
and about his goals and 

763
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:31,200
Ambitions. 
I think it's good that he's 

764
00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:34,800
competing with happel, but if I 
have to pick the overall, Or of,

765
00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:36,800
who I think would dominate this 
Market. 

766
00:39:37,100 --> 00:39:40,600
My vote still stands with apple.
I think they'll have much bigger

767
00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:43,800
market, share of the overall, 
economics of this device 

768
00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:47,400
category, similar with how they 
do with the tablet, with the 

769
00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:51,200
MacBook, with the phone with the
are pods with every other 

770
00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:52,700
device, category that they're 
in. 

771
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:56,000
I see no big distinction with 
headsets now. 

772
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:58,400
Finally, we get to the most 
important part of the show, this

773
00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:01,300
is where we get our best tips, 
our best advice financially, 

774
00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:04,400
this is what on the best house 
hacking tip ever, which comes 

775
00:40:04,500 --> 00:40:07,400
He's at a very important time 
because right now it's difficult

776
00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:09,300
to get into homes. 
They're very expensive. 

777
00:40:09,500 --> 00:40:11,700
This person right here, has a 
solution for it. 

778
00:40:11,700 --> 00:40:15,700
People are always complaining 
about how expensive housing as 

779
00:40:15,700 --> 00:40:17,300
they say. 
It's so unaffordable, they can't

780
00:40:17,300 --> 00:40:20,500
afford it. 20% down is just as 
too much for them. 

781
00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:23,100
I think they're just making 
excuses in my opinion, but let 

782
00:40:23,100 --> 00:40:26,700
me tell you what, how much is a 
20% down payment on a 1 million 

783
00:40:26,700 --> 00:40:30,700
dollar house? 
Two hundred thousand dollars, 

784
00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:33,200
two hundred thousand. 
Okay, let me ask you this. 

785
00:40:33,700 --> 00:40:37,300
How many kidneys do you have to?
Alright, that caught me off 

786
00:40:37,300 --> 00:40:38,100
guard. 
They're a little bit. 

787
00:40:38,100 --> 00:40:41,500
He went from, what is the down 
payment on a million-dollar 

788
00:40:41,500 --> 00:40:43,200
home? 
A 20% down payment? 

789
00:40:43,300 --> 00:40:45,400
And now we're talking about, I 
think I heard kidneys. 

790
00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:50,100
How many kidneys do you have? 
We went from house hacking to 

791
00:40:50,100 --> 00:40:52,900
now human biology. 
Let's go ahead and keep 

792
00:40:52,900 --> 00:40:55,200
listening here. 
I think I know what direction 

793
00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:58,600
he's going but let's let's take 
a look now. 

794
00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:01,800
How many kids? 
Is, does the average person need

795
00:41:01,900 --> 00:41:06,300
to survive? 
One. 

796
00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:11,600
How much do you think that you 
could sell a kidney for in the 

797
00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:17,400
black market today? 
250 300 350 will say to you take

798
00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:19,900
your kid and you sell it 200. 
I thought this is a house 

799
00:41:19,900 --> 00:41:22,100
hacking tip, not a human hacking
tip. 

800
00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:25,700
He's saying that you can hock 
your kidney on the black market 

801
00:41:25,700 --> 00:41:28,900
for a quarter million. 
Now I have no way of verifying 

802
00:41:28,900 --> 00:41:30,900
this. 
I have not looked into the price

803
00:41:30,900 --> 00:41:34,000
of a kidney maybe this is 
correct. 

804
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:35,900
That's a lot of money. 
Two hundred fifty thousand 

805
00:41:35,900 --> 00:41:39,700
dollars but I'd still rather 
have my Kidneys and instead of 

806
00:41:39,700 --> 00:41:42,200
trying to do some type of 
illegal surgery. 

807
00:41:42,700 --> 00:41:45,100
But regardless let's just assume
for a minute. 

808
00:41:45,100 --> 00:41:48,200
This is accurate information, 
fifty thousand dollars take that

809
00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:50,300
50 thousand dollars, you put it 
in your pocket, you don't even 

810
00:41:50,300 --> 00:41:51,800
look at it. 
You take that two hundred 

811
00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:54,600
thousand dollars, you put it on 
a down payment on a 1 million 

812
00:41:54,600 --> 00:41:58,300
dollar house. 
You rent that house for three 

813
00:41:58,300 --> 00:42:00,700
years. 
Three years. 

814
00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:03,900
You make your money back you by 
your kidney back. 

815
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:05,800
You reinsert it back into your 
body. 

816
00:42:05,900 --> 00:42:12,400
Now what now you have two 
kidneys and And you have a 1 

817
00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:15,000
million dollar asset. 
I don't know what to say, I 

818
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:17,800
normally am critical of these 
type of tick-tocks. 

819
00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:20,600
I think that some of them are a 
little silly but this one's 

820
00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:23,300
pretty genius. 
I must admit you only have to 

821
00:42:23,300 --> 00:42:27,700
risk death twice by taking your 
kidney and selling it on the 

822
00:42:27,700 --> 00:42:30,000
black market. 
A surgery that I can't imagine 

823
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:33,100
being done with the best doctors
or surgeons, but then you also 

824
00:42:33,100 --> 00:42:36,300
have to reinsert it back into 
your body and reconnect it, 

825
00:42:36,700 --> 00:42:39,600
which I can't imagine as well as
being a great surgery. 

826
00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:42,800
And by the way, I I think 
surgeries are somewhat expensive

827
00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:46,500
so out of that 250,000 dollars. 
Some of it's probably going to 

828
00:42:46,500 --> 00:42:48,500
the surgeon or whoever's doing 
the surgery. 

829
00:42:48,900 --> 00:42:52,200
It seems like he may be leaving 
out a few details there but 

830
00:42:52,200 --> 00:42:54,400
there we have it, the most 
extreme house, hacking tip I've 

831
00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:56,500
ever heard. 
That's all for this episode. 

832
00:42:56,600 --> 00:42:58,400
Have a great weekend. 
I'll see you in the next one.
