In this video, when Palantir was at around $200, I questioned how that price and valuation was supported, since they were only making $ 1 billion in free cash flow, and the market cap was around $400 billion. Valuation is what matters, and stocks of great companies can sometimes get totally disconnected to the underlying earnings. Now PLTR is much lower, and if you had learned this, perhaps you wouldn't have lost on it, as many did at that time.

Cisco and Intel finally returned to their 2000 highs in their stock prices this year. It took 25 years to regain the highs. That means the stock price in the year 2000 got so far ahead of the actual earnings of the business that it took 25 years to recover (except you haven’t really gotten to even yet, taking inflation into account) The important question is, will you fall victim to that type of bubble high again, like those who bought Intel and Cisco at the top in the year 2000, or will you know how to value the assets underlying the story this time and avoid that issue? Buy my book STOP MAKING STUPID INVESTMENTS and learn how to spot the bubble if/when it happens again, the bad investment offering, or even a scam, and learn what a TRULY great investment opportunity looks like. amazon.com/Stop-Making-St… #stopmakingstupidinvestments #stockmaket #investors #AIstock

One of the world's greatest investors, Ray Dalio, tells the story that in 1982, he made one of his biggest mistakes. That mistake made him more humble, and he started working harder, studying history, so he would not do it again. Hear the story in this video, and apply it to your own investing.

Many wil hate this, with Gold near all-time highs, and with it showing spectacular returns the past couple of years. But the truth is the average return of gold for 100 years is just about the same rate as inflation. Gold has big cycles up and also big cycles down and flat. Most don't know this, but it's true. I don't "hate" gold, but I also think you should have the perspective of it's returns in the long-run.

Predicting macroeconomic events is nearly impossible for most people to do consistently and is a waste of time. Charlie Munger said something like, "We focus on microeconomics and tolerate macroeconomics." In other words, stick to looking at businesses, not macro predictions. Macro-wise, sometimes the economy is a tailwind and sometimes a headwind. The real question is, will the business you are invested in withstand bad conditions?

Buffett once said that if you only had 20 investments to make in your lifetime, you would think hard about what you did, and you would likely make better decisions. Most people buy what they hear about, and it's so easy to jump in and out of stocks that this is a big disadvantage for most people. David explains this more selective thought process in this video, and you may want to try it too.

Most people think when markets are up for a prolonged period of time, "This is easy!" Until one day it isn't, and things change. Then, if you don't know what you own or why you own it, you will likely be stressed out and sell into a crash (usually a bad move). Hear David explain this concept in the video.

You don't have to be early in AI and take big risks to "get rich quick". The dot-com bubble showed us (as many times in history have shown us) that you can invest in stocks after the hype is over, and many times, that's when you see some really great companies USING the new technology (in this case, AI) to create great products and services that people love. Think Facebook, or Google, both of which came out AFTER the dot-com crash in 2000. Figure out how to find those great companies worth investing in, and avoid the myriad of hyped up ones that won't end up well in the end. theultimateinvestor.com #TechStocks #AIInvesting #AIInnovation #InvestmentStrategy #SmartInvesting #TechTrends #MarketInsights #FutureTech #InvestWisely

A popular promoted strategy for real estate investing is to focus on the investment's "tax benefit" first. The tax benefit potential of real estate investing is a good feature and can be helpful, but the way these investments are promoted focuses solely on the tax benefit, even though the actual investment is mediocre at best and, at worst, a money-losing trap. So be careful when a real estate investment promoter starts with "tax benefits" as the primary reason to invest. You are likely headed for trouble. The investment deal must stand on its own first; the tax benefit is an added benefit, not the primary one. #realestateinvestor #investing #RealEstateInvesting #InvestmentTips #PropertyInvestment #RealEstateStrategy #TaxBenefits #RealEstateMarket #WealthBuilding #FinancialEducation #SmartInvesting

Not a surprise

A few years back I was walking on Market Street in San Francisco. The sun was shining and it was a beautiful day. All of sudden I walked right into a very bad area, and there was many people who looked drugged out all around me, and I realized I didn't know what I was doing. I was in a city I'm not really familiar with, and just walking along thinking everything is fine. It's like the markets, when they are up you think everything is easy and fine. Then when things turn, you realize you didn't really know what you were doing, and you didn't understand there could be a problem like this. Don't be that person!

When you hear that "EVERYONE IS INVESTING," this is not a sign to invest yourself; it's a sign to be cautious. If something is so popular, it probably means the prices are very high, and even if it was a good idea, the price now may be too high to make any money. This happened in real estate in 2021, when popular teachers told their students to buy at any price and that interest rates would stay low forever. All that mattered was getting into a deal. This ended badly for many and once again proves that when the crowd is so enthusiastic about an idea and goes crazy to invest, it's likely to be a bad investment for them. #SmartInvesting #InvestmentStrategy #FinancialWisdom #RealEstate2021 #EconomicInsights #InvestmentRisks #MarketCaution #MarketTrends #realestate #investments #realestateinvestor #bubble #caprates

A MOAT in investing means, that the business is so good, strong, has a great brand, or other advantage, that it cannot be taken out easily or at all, no matter how much money a competitor throws at it to beat that business. You want the business that has a powerful MOAT, because one thing is for sure, a great business that is making a lot of money will be attacked and competitiors will do everything they can to take that great businesses market share. A truly great business will not be taken out, and the MOAT is why that's true. #BusinessMoat #InvestingBasics #CompetitiveAdvantage #StrongBrand #MarketStrategy #BusinessGrowth #FinancialWisdom #EconomicMoat #LongTermInvesting

What product is so valuable and has a competitive advantage for the long term? How about an iPhone vs. your car, which would you give up? The fact that many say their car is what they would give up, shows how valuable the iPhone is to you. You can call a car with your phone, but without your iPhone, you probably think you are SCREWED! This is the beginning of thinking about which businesses have a TRUE long-term, durable, and sustainable competitive advantage. It's not a recommendation to buy Apple; it's the thought process that matters and is just an example. #CompetitiveAdvantage #LongTermValue #BusinessStrategy #SustainableGrowth #MarketAnalysis #ValueProposition #Innovation #iphone #apple
