We're going to make everything real simple. we need all the complicated answers when the market moves three and a half standard deviations no if the market drops in august and september we're going to buy in august and september we're shy guess what on the months when it's up in april and january what we're going to do we're going to buy in april and january we're going put in chat we're going to buy every month we are going to buy every single month now if we have a dip which we had a little bit of a pullback some people were worried about bitcoin we shouldn't be um but the biggest lesson is to be able to buy a certain amount of shares every month regardless of what the market is doing that includes crypto um we're hovering at like 109 or some change we should hit 107 or 106 on bitcoin but the key is to buy every month and also the ratio of execution of buying is more important than the ratio of information that you take in.
4:35It's great to know all the information in the world, but some of the people I've seen have the biggest returns and the most amount of shares, they just buy and don't look at all the information and say, okay, I know these are the four I'm going to invest in. Like I was talking earlier, if you're in media, Microsoft, NVIDIA, Netflix, Google are the only four you need in media. But what about Paramount Extra Plus? Not an equation. Disney, love Disney. the corporation shout out to everybody on the executive board yada yada but those are the big four um make it simple buy every month and if we have a great pull back in september it's your time to execute yeah i i figured you was gonna go that route i had buys but i switched minds up i put uh have reserves right so make sure i know people invest in every month but make sure you have money to invest and so having reserves is important we talked about the interest rates will know about that in the next couple of weeks.
5:31Yeah. But I think something that gets looked over, especially in the futures market, definitely in the options market is quadruple witching, which is going to happen this month. So it happens in the third month of each quarter, the third week. So September 19th, circle that on your calendars. That is an expiration date where all simultaneously will expire. So the options market will have expiration dates on that date. Futures markets, ETF indexes, they all have it around that time. And so what you'll see is people will sell to take profits. All right. So you're going to see sometimes a downtrend or a nice correction or pullback around that time.
6:09But that's all part of the game, right? In this to make money. And so when people make money and they take profits, this is what happens. And so circle that day, September 19th, around that week, you might see some volatility. And that will happen at the same time, presumably presumably when we'll know about the interest rate hike or, you know, maybe not a hike. So it should be an interesting time. There will be some volatility here, but have some reserves in the event either way, because like you said, this is, you want to make sure that you're getting at the right price, which is why you're inside a stock club, but you want to make sure that you're getting it for the longterm.
6:43And so you can get some really generational prices and keep them for the longterm. So have reserves. That would be my two words. Yeah. If SPY gets back to 638, 45, that's the area I would like to potentially enter. And then also with Quiet Witching coming up, you want to be out three or four days before the expiration. You don't want to hold them into that actual date. And I know sometimes it can be fearful to hold for a long period of time, but when everyone says, I want to buy the dip, from a mathematical standpoint, September and August would give you those entries. If you're looking to hold for a long-term, five years, like you won't even remember any drawdowns or pullbacks that you have, but September is a definitely a great time, especially going into the fourth quarter and into the Christmas rally.
7:30Yeah. And into January, you're going to be okay, hopefully long term. Yeah. So anybody that's been with us and watching some of these contracts tomorrow, I would have did it today if the market was open, but tomorrow I'm going to have to exercise some of these contracts. I'm probably not going to exercise them to add more shares. We'll probably take capital and reinvest. So either we're going to do that. I know we're doing something special for our VIPs. I'm actually going to probably show that during the class so people can see what it looks like to sell an options contract. An illegal alien from Guatemala charged with raping a child in Massachusetts.
8:02An MS-13 gang member from El Salvador accused of murdering a Texas man. A Venezuelan charged with filming and selling child pornography in Michigan. These are just some of the heinous migrant criminals caught because of President Donald J. Trump's leadership. I'm Kristi Noem, the United States Secretary of Homeland Security. Under President Trump, attempted illegal border crossings are at the lowest levels ever recorded. And over 100 ,000 illegal aliens have been arrested. If you are here illegally, you're next. You will be fined nearly$1 ,000 a day, imprisoned and deported. You will never return.
8:41But if you register using our CBP Home app and leave now, you could be allowed to return legally. Do what's right. Leave now. Under President Trump, America's laws, border, and families will be protected. Sponsored by the United States Department of Homeland Security. What if mind control is real? If you could control the behavior of anybody around you, what kind of life would you have? Can you hypnotically persuade someone to buy a car? When you look at your car, you're going to become overwhelmed with such good feelings. Can you hypnotize someone into sleeping with you? I gave her some suggestions to be sexually aroused.
9:16Can you get someone to join your cult? NLP was used on me to access my subconscious. Mind Games, a new podcast exploring NLP, a.k.a. neurolinguistic programming. Is it a self-help miracle, a shady hypnosis scam, or both? Listen to Mind Games on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hello, hello, all my people. What's up?
