So you want to buy when there's a market crash because everyone is scared. That's when you need to buy. See, people have an opposite. They want to buy when everyone is talking about it. You want to buy when everyone is scared and saying, I want to pull out, I'm afraid. That's when you buy. Yeah, three, two, one.
Let's get it. Welcome to another edition of the social proof podcast, where we find dope people that did really, really dope stuff, built stuff, and got receipts. You got receipts? Oh, yeah. All right, straight like that. So, today we're interviewing Aristotle. Is that your real name? Yes. Really? Yes, it's my middle name actually. It sounds like a cool stage name. Yeah, yeah, it's my middle name. What's your first name? Macario. So my whole name is Macario's Aristotle, Warner Jr.
Macareos, Aristotle, Varner, Jr. Oh, why you pick Aristotle to run with? Because it just sounded like I could brand it. It's a lit man. Yeah, yeah, I could brand it real well because, you know, Aristotle is a Greek philosopher and he's like,
I guess he's like a staple for, as you can say, intellectual, like how people move in this world or not. So I like to use his name as my brand, you know, because it's my name too. That's a fact. His name is my name too. Yes, that's a fact. No, I ain't mad at that. Yeah, but so I've been hearing a lot about what you got going on in terms of stock, investing, stop trading, but traditionally, someone that does what you do,
Don't got the Cubans. Don't wear the hats. Don't wear T-shirts, jeans, sneakers. And I heard you teach a lot of people, stock trading. So how many students you got? Well, I've taught over 20,000 plus. You've taught over 20,000 people? Yes, but I have about 6,000 people in my personal group chat.
And AMU, we teach about six. Oh, that's my course. So AMU University is my course. We teach about 600 people a month. So we've been doing it every month since May of 2020. Oh, gosh, gosh. Been a lot. And then of course, my book, I sold a lot of copies of that.
Gosh, you got you. So, you made a lot from invest. Do you trade or do you just buy? Trade. If you had to calculate, if you had to calculate, how would you think you made from trading? Just trading alone, not teaching, not coaching. Just you, understanding the market and trading. I mean, I could tell you how much I average. I don't really want to say I own people pocket watching. Not the first of all, they're pocket watching already, right? I mean,
The way I frame this, right? Because I know that people are gonna watch my interviews in the very beginning. And there's a bunch of people out here that claim to be good at teaching something, but they don't really have the receipts from the success of what they've done. So that's why I just try to get that part out the way so they know why they're gonna watch you for the next hour.
Oh yeah, so definitely like as far as trading within the last two years, I've definitely made well over six figures and then I'm getting close to that million mark as far as trading now investing definitely.
I made a lot during the vest. Gotcha. Gotcha. So you just got to extend portfolio. Yes. Gotcha. So I do, I do investing long term and I do trading, you know, short term as far as, you know, catching the quick trends or whatnot. Gotcha. Gotcha. That's, that's really dope. All right. So how'd you get into it though?
So how I got into it was I was in the army and basically I was cutting hair. So I was a barber prior to this. So I was averaging about 3000 a month cutting hair. And then I decided to invest that 3000. So I was living out my army money, but I was investing full blown haircut money. I went all in and just put into the stock market.
So I was investing buying shares first, and then I decided to trade options once I saw people doing it on the internet. I was like, you know what I mean? I was like, I think I can make more money on this side. So I was beginner's luck coming out the gate back in 2015. Or investing in stocks.
Investing in stocks, but I was still studying it. So I won't say it was beginners luck because I was researching and picking the companies based on what I saw and you know fundamental and technical analysis and fundamental analysis is pretty much balance sheets all the you know the paperwork and all that behind the company as far as seeing whether it's profitable and then technical analysis is price chart reading you know candlesticks trends support resistance all that
I don't know what all that means. Okay, so support is your floor and resistance is your ceiling, right? So you're looking at one of those charts that people post on Instagram, right? That's how I see it, like the little charts with the stuff going up and down. Right. It's like reds and greens and all that kind of stuff. Right. So floor is like a number I'm guessing. So support will be your floor. So just how you was building the house, you would have support beams. So support will definitely be your floor as far as option training, right? So basically I'm looking for bounces.
or of support. And if it breaks, that's called a breakdown and their resistance. What do you mean when it breaks? So if prices break below support, that's called a breakdown. Oh, so support might be, let's just say for nice round numbers, a dollar in this chart never goes below a dollar. Exactly. Exactly. So let's just say it's a dollar on the floor, right? And then it keeps bouncing that the dollar mark. If it breaks below that line,
which is your support line. It goes to 94 cents. Exactly. We would buy what is called puts and options, which bets on a stock to go down. But why would you bet if that's the first time it's going down? Because it broke support. So anytime a stock breaks support, it's always going to, it's going to, not always, but it's going to keep going down.
Now there are things called false breakouts. So basically what we're looking for in trading is we're looking for a breaks of support or breaks of resistance means it's not going up. So let's just say, hold on. This is crazy because I'm learning this stuff right now. That's good. So resistance is the highest that it goes. Exactly. Like let's say the highest is ever been a two dollars. So let's just say this is resistance to top of my hand, right? And then there's a trend, right? And it keeps bouncing on resistance, right?
All we're doing is waiting for it to break that price point, resistance point. And you'll be able to see it. It'll be like a flat line. It could be all types of ways, but what we're waiting for is a breaker resistance. And once it breaks that point, that's when we buy.
You buy betting that it goes up more. Yes. But which doesn't make a lot of sense to me because- But there's a strategy though. So it has to break support or resistance with what is called volume. And volume would be the price bars at the bottom of the chart. So basically there's volume right in volume.

is how many contracts are traded. So basically what volume is, think of it like a quarterback, right? So let's just say Michael Vick, like I got on Vix, right? So I'm left in it. The further he throws it, that's called high volume. So if he throws it with a lot of power, that's a lot of volume. If he throws it with weak power, that's low volume. So let's just say Michael Vick throws the ball with
Nice volume. That's going to give me confidence to bet more on the breakout. So how sharp it goes above that line? With volume. With volume. But if it's like the line, it's like just like creeping over the line, then that's less volume. Yes. But you'll be able to see it. If it tries to break out with less volume, all it's going to do is just false breakout.
That's crazy, bro. I've been looking at these charts for years. Not studying them, but like seeing them. And people post them online, like we know what they're talking about. But now I'm going to be looking at like those breaks of support and resist. So be looking for that. Be looking for certain lines, resistances, which is the stop bouncing up, just like the ceiling resistance. And let's just say,
You know, I throw a ball hard enough to break the ceiling. That's called a breakout. You know what I mean? But if I throw the ball weak, it's probably going to bounce from the ceiling. You see what I'm saying? So that's kind of how you guys think it stops to as far as how we play them. But we play them in various ways. We also play bounces, which I'll be teaching at the live trading course conference that we have September 13 or September 11 through the 13th. Gotcha. Gotcha. OK.
All right, so what was the first stock that you invested in, and why? Because you said you got lucky. Right. How? So it was marijuana stocks. So I would say it was canopy growth, Kronos Group. It was a lot of my investing in Apple. I invested in... How much did you take and invest your first investment? $7,000. $7,000, right? Oh, yeah. But I invested the whole thing.
but only into shares though. Who told you that that was a good thing to do? Well, I read books. So that's how I learned. When I was in the Army, I was a scholar. So I was in the Army. I was a 25 Bravo, which was an information technology specialist. And basically, I knew that I could study anything because that's how I was able to get in the Army by studying it or not.
I joined when I was 18 back in 2014. So that's, so basically I just knew that all I had to do was just apply effort to this and then I'll learn it one day. Cause I talked, I self taught myself how to barber. So that gave me the self confidence to self teach myself stops because I literally went on YouTube, learned how to barber and now I'm making 3000 a month. So I'm like, okay, I can just go on YouTube or and read books and learn to stop market the same way.
And I ended up doing it. Really? So okay, all right. So I'm trying to, I want to get into, I mean, I'm in two stocks and I mean, I don't have a whole, I don't like have a huge, huge portfolio. Consider it's a cool size. But it's,
I don't know, really, when my friend tells me to invest in something, I just do that, right? But how do I start to research? Because I realized that there weren't two types of investors, some invest strictly based on the chart. They're not looking at the company, the books, nothing like that, which I thought was weird to me. I'm like, yo, you're just trusting the trend to keep being the trend, which it just doesn't make sense. And then you have the other, which is fundamental, fundamental, where they're looking at the performance of the company.
But you do both. Yes. What's the one should I do? I believe. What should I learn?
If you have time to watch the stops from 9.30 to about 11, then you can watch it from, then you can trade. That kind of distracted me just now. So basically to answer your question, you should honestly try long-term investment if you don't have time to watch the charts. If you have time to watch the charts from 9.30 to 11, then you should be trading in my opinion.
Do you always were like a reader, study, a researcher, always? Yes, I actually did good in high school. It's just I couldn't afford to go to college. Tell me about your growing up, like your background. So I'm from Atlanta, Georgia. I'm from here. I'm from the south side of Atlanta. Most of my family lived in Riverdale, in Cleveland Avenue. Oh, okay. I went to Maro. I graduated from Maro. I'll see you here. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Clayton County. Yeah, okay, girl.
So most of my family went to Riverdale, in high school, and then the other half of my family, they from Cleveland Avenue. So they went to, you know, my dad actually went to Forest Park High School. My mom went to Bandicor High School. Oh, you know, DSGB for real. Oh, yeah. I'm out. I'm from here. So basically we grew up, you know, I grew up on, I guess you can say,
Poor at first because my mom had me and 19, my sister at 17. So we grew up in the hood for the most part, I would say. Same other? No. So we grew up in the hood for the most part when I was little. My mom and dad ended up breaking up when I was like two months. So I never seen my mom and dad together. Really? Yeah. So, you know, I started from the bottom bottom.
Did you still have a relationship with your dad though? So y'all was cool. Yeah, I used to, my dad used to cut my hair. So that inspired me to want to be a barber because my dad was the one who gave me the haircut. So now I was little. So I was like, well, if he can do it, I can do it on that. So a lot of these, it's a lot of parallel to my life. My dad was a barber for me personally. So that made me like, okay, and I remember he self-taught himself.
So, yeah, we grew up on the side side of Atlanta. And then we became, my mom actually ended up getting a nice job. So it's like the boys in the hood story, actually, like my father lives in the hood, but my mom lives in the birds. So my mom is actually smart. Even though, you know, she made, I won't say mistakes, she just had children early. Yeah, right.
And she ended up getting a nice job at AT&T, making good money. She did it very well. She was buying her own house. She had a Mercedes all that, but my dad still, in the hood, and my dad, you know. Which one did you like, more so?
Like was parent? No, no, no, it's parent day. Not like that day. That would have been a terrible question. Oh. Not like staying with your dad in kind of like the hood or did you like the moving on the vibe or what? So I end up getting the spell from elementary school and then I end up having to live with my father. Well, I spelled from elementary? Yeah. Ooh, wait. Okay. You all right? You never know what's going on. So what'd you get a spell for elementary for?
I got a spell for allegedly telling a young lady to give me a or six, but I don't remember saying that. You know what I'm saying, but yeah. Elementary. Second grade.
Did you always have like, did you have trouble in school growing up or no? Yeah, I was actually a weird case. I would get all A's, but all F's and conduct. So I was kind of like, it was weird for the teachers. They didn't know how to take me. Cause I was, I literally took the same classes as making the same test scores as the smart people. I took all honors classes on the road, all that, but I just acted out. Really? So like your brain always worked like that. Yes.
I just, what I realized something about me was I didn't believe in systems. And I joined the military and everything and still just was rebellious. What made you want to join the military though? Didn't have money for college, keep on running, which I didn't want to go, but I was never really afraid of anything in life, because you know what I'm saying?
Gotcha, gotcha. And then you get out, you're a barber, and you start doing some research. I'm in the, I'm a barber while I'm in the military. Oh, gosh, you gotcha, gosh. How long were you in the military? Six years. Six years. And you didn't know anything about trading while you were in the military, though. I mean, before you started.
I literally learned it while I, as soon as I started. But I'm trying to understand what got you interested in it. Normally somebody comes across and says, hey, I'm doing some stocks. And you're like, hey, what's stocks? What sparked it though?
Well, I was a barber, so I'm a networker. So people get in my chair, I hear discussions. So I was a well-rounded barber, so I cut white people, hear Asians, everybody, we was in the army. And you know what I'm saying? It was better for them to get their haircut by me, so they can enjoy their free time, play their video games, or they can spend literally an hour getting their haircut. And in the army, our time was valuable. So I made a lot of money cutting hair.
So I would overhear conversations. And it was the white soldier. They were talking about it. And then it was the nerds. They were talking about it. You know what I'm saying? I was like, you know what? I think I should do that one day. And then I would just be asking him questions, like, what's going on with this, this and that. And then one guy ended up, as soon as I got to AIT, he was like, I want to put you in this program that's teaching trading. He said, it's free. It was a Zoom meeting.
Actually, I just got back. I just got to Fort Stewart, Georgia. And I go to the Zoom meeting and it was these teenage guys just teaching candlesticks and everything, right? And I was only like 19 years old. That's the technical analysis. Gotcha, gotcha. So I attended this webinar when I was like 19 years old learning about that, how they make money.
So I'm like, okay, I think I could do this one day. So then literally when I turned 20, I end up, excuse me. I end up just researching it, you know, out of nowhere, cause I saved a lot of money cutting hair. I saved up about 10,000 or whatnot.
But, you know, so I was skeptical at first. I was just researching. All I did was Google it, how to make money from a cell phone. And then I just keep seeing the stock market. So I was like, you know, I'm gonna just hop into it. So I'm like, you know what? I literally spent, because I learned how to cut hair when I was 18 years old. That's when I started making money. So I literally went on YouTube and got good with it. I would say in about three months.
Yeah, I like the, what was that movie where like the kid, whatever you learn, he just can do it. Y'all know what I'm talking about? It was the, I don't know why it's good movies or it wasn't really a movie. Maybe I just saw it somewhere. But it's like Neo on the Matrix, like you can download some information and automatically know how to do karate and stuff like that. My brain doesn't work like that. You're gifted.
I feel like I can learn how to do anything. What I learned about life is if you try your best and you apply, like just give it your all. Cause I gave it, this is what taught me to give my all for the rest of my life.
I never told anyone this story, by the way. It was senior year of track. I was running track. We was in Kansas. So I spent my senior year of high school in Kansas. So I literally grew up in Atlanta my whole life. And then my stepfather joins the military my 11th grade year. And then we end up moving to Kansas when he got out of basic training or whatnot.
So this is a culture shot for me. I'm from Atlanta. It's all black. It's probably five white people in my school. I moved to Kansas. It's an all white school. So I'm sitting by myself at lunch for the first two months. I mean, I just know for the first month because it's all white. You know, I just came from all black school. But if I didn't move to Kansas, I wouldn't be where I am today. Because
It changed. It forced me to open up my mind. I didn't realize I closed mine that I was living in Atlanta. Like even though this is a big city, it's open. You sit back and realize a lot of people don't leave here. They just go to the clubs around Atlanta. And I realized like when I moved to Kansas and being around a different environment,
especially just being around at a predominantly white school, that it was more to life. And you know what I'm saying? I learned what generational wealth was, because when I was in Atlanta, we all rode the bus. I moved to Kansas. They all drive to school.
You know what I mean? So it was a different experience. If you never see it, you don't even like thinking it's possible. Your school lunch is better. The curriculum was harder. I'm just looking at all this. You know what I'm saying? I'm looking at it, especially the moment when I had to go to the army.
I'm sitting back looking, all the white kids, all the black kids too. You know, I'm from Atlanta, so I don't count going to college. They parents got money for them to go to school, drive cars, and I'm working at McDonald's at the time. So I'm serving the kids, the rich white kids in my school. You know what I mean? Like they come up.
And I'm just saying, they're like, dang, not only did your parents give you a car, but they gave you money to buy food too. So I'm just looking. I got to work for everything I have. So it just made me hungry because I'm like, I'm smart too. I could go to college, but I can't afford it. So it just gave me a drive to want to figure out.
ways to make sure I'm not left out. That don't make sense. All right. So I'm going to attempt to have you like teach me this stuff, but I need you to teach it to me, not from a genius perspective, because I don't even, but I was just talking to somebody the other day.
And my question was like, how do you research? I can get pointers on that. I need help with that, bro. This is how you research. And I learned this throughout how I learned some from scratch. So this is how you do it. Any topic, whether it's real estate, whether it's stock market, whether it's podcast, no matter what it is, you need three opinions. You need three opinions. So this is how you research. You Google how to start real estate.
Me, honestly, I literally go to every single link and read all of them. And what I learned was they're going to have similarities. Because remember, when you first learned something, you don't know what to trust. So you like, how do I trust what you teach me in the first place?
But when you start seeing three people say the same thing, now you like, okay, I trust that. I trust that. I trust that. That guy said something differently, that guy. And then you start realizing, okay, I like this guy a bit strategy better. And then what you start doing is you start creating one you from all of their opinions, if that makes sense. I like that. Okay. All right. So my thing is maybe I don't even know what to read, like just from school, bro, like on projects,
I don't think I've ever passed a project because I rather just not do it because I sit down and if I wanna learn something, all of the way I learned is through experience, right? I learned how to podcast because I, almost 200 episodes, right? I just do it and do it. And now I can teach based on the experience. But if I'm gonna go on a computer and say, how do you ask good questions? How do you set up a podcast? I would be so confused. So in terms of,
Technical, no, fundamental analysis in terms of researching a company. How do you research to a point where you feel comfortable to invest money in it? I would say I'm looking at their assets versus liabilities. I'm reading. I'm looking at it. Really find it. Show me, okay. Show me like where you get that stuff from. I'm going to say we're going to say we're going to research to make me a company.
Apple. Right. Give me something else. Roll. I don't think it's called Roadcaster. That's the name. General who? General. General. General. Okay. So what would I type in in a general? What would I type in in Google to start the process of? Should I invest in this? So S-E-C dot gov would be one you could type it into. S-E-C dot gov. It's a cheat code site that I like to tell people called Simply Wall Street.
Simply so simply Wall Street is a good one So yeah, so simply Wall Street. Yep. That's it So basically you would go and you could type in the company, right? So you could type in the company. Let's just say you know Jones are
Let's just do GM, because I know they're not going to, I can't find that quickly. General Motors, right? So Chevy's, Corvette's, all of that, right? So this is a quick way to get good fundamental analysis quick, right? So they showing you... I already...
You got to sign in and show it. You got an account? I do. I am. I'm basically about to start blasting me. That's how you would. Now, pull it up, though, because I want to go through the process of seeing it out. Basically, with fundamental analysis, what people are doing, they're doing what is called giving stuff extrinsic values.
So extrinsic value is almost like if you were to go to Walmart and you're trying to buy a Snicker bar, but the price is 125, but you know the price is gonna be a dollar if you wait two months for the next season. So what a lot of people like to do with fundamental analysis is give things called extrinsic values. And they have a whole bunch of ways to calculate it, but they'll give it a price and they'll literally wait for it. So they'll either say,
I'm going to short the stock because it's too high. I'm going to buy it because it's had a discount. But a shorter stock to me.
So short means wanting it to go up. I mean, down and longing something means wanting it to go up. So longing is so. Here are the bullish things you would hear in stocks. So you will hear what is called bullish and bearish. So it's based off the animals fighting a textile. So bull strike up bear strike down. Really? Yes. I didn't know that. Did you know that, Joe?
I had no idea. So whenever you hear the term bullish and bearish, remember, bull strike up bear strike down. So a bear just stand up, strike down a bull, go, you know, strikes up. So, you know what I mean? So, so bull market and bear market makes sense. Bull market means everything's up. That's what we're what that's what we're currently in. All right.
But, yes. I thought we'd just sleep. I thought he's in bed. No. So we're in bull. So the market is based on what is called Spy, the S&P 500, Standard and Poor's 500. Okay. You ever heard of that? No. You ever heard of S&P 500? What about NASDAQ? You be seeing that? Yeah. So the S&P 500 NASDAQ pretty much are the markets.
And when those are up, that means the whole entire market is following those. Come on for a little bit tonight. I'm sorry, go ahead. So when those are up, the entire market is following the S&P 500 and that's that. And they have a lot of the same stocks. How do you know when something's going into a bull market or a bear market? So we're coming out.
That's when you have to watch the charts. There is no way fundamentally you will know that the market is up without looking at the chart. You know what I mean? So that's one thing I will say. There is no fundamental trader that can't look at the chart because you have to know where you're buying. You know what I mean? You have to use both.
You got to know if I'm researching this company, is it a good entry point? Because just because Apple was a good company doesn't mean you need to invest in it right now. You know what I mean? An entry point is wherever the stock is at right now. Exactly. So you always want to buy stocks on a dip or during turmoil.
The real slogan is buy when others are fearful, sell when they are greedy. So you want to buy when there's a market crash because everyone is scared. That's when you need to buy. See, people have an opposite. They want to buy when everyone is talking about it. You want to buy when everyone is scared and saying, I want to pull out, I'm afraid, that's when you buy. That's when you buy. Did you do crypto as well?
Yes, I do. And see, you see what I'm saying? It's the same exact philosophy. You buy one, others are fearful, and you sell when everyone's greedy. So whenever you see the rappers talking about, it's time for me to invest. That's when you need to sell. I keep an eye on it. Like seriously, you see when meat melts. You start talking about, you know, let's get out of this. Because that means culture has caught on to it. So that's when everyone is greedy. You know what I'm saying? Wow.
Yeah, so that's literally it. Is that what happened? Oh, so he tweeted, because we were in crypto. It was down, scarily down, like I lost. You know, it was literally like half my portfolio. But that's because you got a buy. Don't ever buy when people say buy. You buy when people are like, ah, this looks bad. You know what I mean? It's never like really bad as bad as people say.
Like the dip? Yeah, like there's a dip and people are like, yo, we're not buying this. It's trash. And then you buy it and it goes down even further. So here's the beautiful thing about the stock market. There are ways to know if for sure the stock is about to go up. So there is an indicator called the RSI relative strength index, right?
So I teach all of this in my course or not. You can literally make money like this, but you only, in my opinion, need to buy when things are oversold. So here's how the indicator works. So the indicators like this, right? And then there's a resistance on the indicator and then there's support, right? Support, yeah. I'm a trader. I know what's going on. But it's different this time, right?
So the top is now called level 70, which means overbought. And the bottom now is called level 30, which is oversold, okay? All right, hold on, no, no, no, no, no, slow down. I got you, I got you, I'm outta keep going. Okay, okay, okay, what are we talking about right now? We're talking about the RSI and how to tell whether you should buy companies and to know for sure when to buy them if they're on a nice dip.
Okay, so it's the same chart you just look you're giving these the support and I gotta show you. Yes. I need to see it. Okay, cuz I can explain it while I'm showing. Oh gosh, you got you got you. All right, look, I know you're enjoying the episode, but I got to tell you finally you asked for it and we created a Patreon. Okay, we created Inner Circle.
We have amazing stories, amazing information, how tools from the episodes, the only thing we're missing is a community. So it's about that time. We put together a Patreon, we put together a community because we have to have conversation around the information. So even as podcasts we're listening to right now,
There needs to be conversation. I want to hear what you got. I want to hear what you got. Let's throw some stuff back and forth. And because we're like-minded, we're all going in the same direction. When we connect in the community, we can connect on other stuff outside the community because we're building real relationships.
Check out the Patreon. We got three tiers. I don't care what tier you join. The support is appreciated. Okay. Thank you so much. Now back to the episode. Okay. Support means the support in the same chart. Okay. So this is, you can bring, let me get the Wi-Fi off. So this right here is called RSI. You trade every day? Yes, I do.
See, look, I can show you. Today, I had to make a little song before I got here. I only made 26 hundred. That's a light day. Yeah, that's a light day. So, well, I just had to make 26 hundred and just come here.
This is show you what's happening. It's real. So this right here is called the RSI. So the bottom line. So the RSI is below the support. All right, look, I got a question for you. What is the future hold for your business? If you ask nine experts, you'll get 10 different answers. For instance, are we going into a bull market or a bear market? Are rates falling? Are they rising? Inflation is an up or down. Can somebody please an event

This is the support right here. You know what I'm saying? It is mad lines on here. Right. So look, this is the support line. All right. So if I was to draw my support line, right?
Let's just say we draw that line. It would be right here, because we see those touches, correct? What touches? See those touches, boom, boom. Yes, yes, yes, touches of that line. So it broke support here, and then it's back. So this is when it breaks support, when it breaks below a line that has a lot of touches. And when do you buy?
You want to buy right here when everyone is fearful. So look at that BA drop and it got oversold. And you see that? What's oversold, man? That means that this indicator is telling you that prices are too low.
So this is almost a guaranteed way, but it's only with good companies. That's something I want to warn people with. So let's just say Apple gets oversold on the RSI. It's almost a 100% chance it's going to bounce, especially when it's at levels as low as 20. So this green level I just showed you, right? So let's just say it went as low as
It went as low as 25, you see that? 24. So if that thing gets at 20, let's just say Apple, Amazon, Tesla, anything like that, it's oversold, you always want to buy. But be careful with overboxed because stocks can keep, they can sit in limbo while they're up. You see what I'm saying? So real quick, oversold means they sold too many of the stocks, too many people that bought the stock. Oversold is just saying that
Okay, so in the stock market, there's buyers and then there's sellers, correct? So whenever you see prices shooting downward, that's because a vast majority are selling and the majority could be people, machines, hedge funds, all of that plays a role. Too many people sold their stock in this one particular time period.
Yes, it's a lot of selling, but a lot of institutional selling. So it means if all of us in this room sell, that won't do anything. But when the billionaires and the funds and the ones who have all the shares, if they start selling, that's when the prices drop. You see what I'm saying? And you buy at that point?
Yes. But it seems like... That's when it's oversold because the big institutions are selling. You sure what I'm saying? Would you buy at that point though? Yes. Okay. Because if Amazon and Tesla becomes oversold, yes, you want to buy the dip. Okay, and I'm still... Just answer this question for me. If these major companies who have millions and millions of dollars to pay people who truly understand this stuff,
they're selling, why would I buy? Because. But they're selling for a reason. Right.
Bad news doesn't always mean bad for the company. So how many times have we seen Apple get sued for knowingly slowing down the iPhones, the old iPhones, but- Did they get sued for that? Yes. Good. I didn't want to do that. As soon as your, I knew I'd come out, you know your old one about to start acting. Oh yeah, and they got sued for that last year, but guess what? Apple was still Apple and they still gonna go up in the stock market.
following the planes crash. Remember those? What happens? They still go up eventually. So during turmoil, you still want to buy good companies because the stock market in my opinion is meant to go up. Think about it. I just told you do not sell as quick as you buy. You know what I'm saying? So when stocks are over a boss, you don't want to try to short them as much as quickly stocks. Literally, they rise quicker than they fall.
I got you. Yeah, my friend told me to buy, I think it was Radio Shack or something like that. You got to buy it. Everybody's buying it. I'm like, all right, cool. I took a loss because everybody was excited and I bought on the excitement. So that's what's going on. People don't realize that there is something called buy the rumor, sell the news. So this is what happens.
A lot of people buy on the news and whenever, so that's what I told you. Whenever you see a lot of people talking about it, that's a bad thing because they are what is called the news now. So buying the rumor means if crypto is down and then you hear an analysis say, I believe the price will go up to this or something like that. But that's not even the rumor. Let's just say for instance, the PS5 when it came out, I can name two instances where this happened.
So when the PS5 came out, everyone, when Sony, you know how Sony, they have a release date event where they just show this is our new system, this is that, right? So a new trader, a person who knows nothing will buy when that event happens. They'll say, yo, Sony is about to release the PS5, by they stock is about to go up.
And then they lose money because they don't realize you're supposed to buy on the rumor. Meaning when they say an event is going to happen on this day, you're supposed to buy weeks before you're supposed to buy when you know that the event is happening. So what people do is they push up the stop.
into the event happen itself, and then they sell their shares. So what's called buy on the rumor, sell on the news. So you never want to buy a stock during its significant news day. You're supposed to buy it leading up to that news day. You see what I'm saying? That's when all the hedge funds and the people are selling because they have already profited on the event. Give me a specific scenario where you really came up off of a rumor.
A rumor, I would say Tesla, the Cybertruck. So you remember when Elon Musk first revealed the Cybertruck and he broke the window and so I bought the rumor and I sold the day that the Cybertruck was happening. Tesla is one of the easiest. Hold on, you bought it when they were talking about it, but when it actually comes out, you sell. Yes. Wow. That's what you're supposed to do.
what new traders think you're supposed to buy during the event day. And that's when it's going to drop. You're never fearful that like, yo, I'm a seller on that day and because there's good hype, it's.
I don't know why it works like that. That's the way the stock market works. It drops the day that the event that the news happens. Now it's different for earnings. This is about news and event days. You're supposed to buy the rumor and sell the news. So that is why a lot of people lose money when like AMC was up by the time they try to buy it.
See, they was supposed to buy one of the rumors that AMC was gonna blow. You see what I'm saying? And that's crazy, because I did hear it. But I'm like, yeah, we in COVID, my own rationale. I think, okay, we're in the middle of a pandemic. AMC's closed. They're not making any money.
But because everybody's gonna be in the house, hey, we gotta drink water, so you might as well drink the best. First off, I drink smart water, if I'm being honest, because it looks cool in my hand. The bottle's so cool and I look prestigious, it made me look like I got money. But also, it fits in my gym bag, in my backpack. It's really dope, man. Smart water alkaline is the hydration choice for people that's looking to elevate in all areas of their life, whether it's fitness or beyond.

alkaline however keeps you hydrated throughout your active life whether you're running miles or running meetings in a world filled with overthinking we're providing a refreshing change of pace a moment of clarity with a simple choice of hydrating with smart water okay when it comes to living my life there's a lot to overthink whether it's my kids picking them up from

Smart water is the simple one. Visit drink smartwater.com to learn more. They're gonna find a new way to enjoy themselves. Meaning, ain't no reason. Why do I need to go to the movie theater again?
Right. So even after a pandemic, ain't nobody going back to the movies like that? I couldn't see it because I'm thinking everybody's going to be nervous to be around each other. So with my amateur ability to research, I'm thinking, no, I'm not going to buy it. But then I was sick when I started looking at the stock price. I said, godly. But that's not why it, that's not why it went up. It's not because
It has nothing to do with, I guess you can say personal or common sense at all. This is why AMC GameStop all of those exploded. It's because what happens is it was a movement created for everyone to buy shares, correct? So what happened was the people you and I were buying more shares
then the institutions were at the time. And what happens is when they're trying to sail, they're forced to cover their share. Because remember, I told you, they the ones who got to sail for the stop to go down. So in order for GameStop, AMC, all these stops to go down.
They have to sell their shares. But if everyone is holding shares, it causes a short squeeze. So that's why they were trying to limit people from buying it because we're causing the stock to short squeeze because the institutions in the large hedge funds have to cover their shares and it forces the prices to go up because now they have to buy. You see what I'm saying? Buyers are stepping in. So they had their force to buy because they can't sell anymore and we're buying it up.
Is there anything that you see coming in the next, like if you could pick something right now that it's going to win next year? Who would it be? Do you see anything? Anything you're excited about? Because we're at a rustling moment.
I can hit up some of my rich friends and we could talk about it. But like, I would say that has already happened. I predicted the Kroger pop. I predicted a lot of pops, honestly. But I would say Boeing is a stock that I believe everyone should invest in long term. Mode, ulterior mode, they are stepping into the cannabis industry.
They were, they are the creators of Marlboro, the cigarette company, right? So they used to be big on tobacco, but as you know, cigarette usage is declining. Right, sure. So they are now invested in weed a lot. They're a very diversified company. That's the one I believe in long term. It is this company called IIPR. They are, but you might not know what they are. They're called Innovative.
How do you on who you trade with? I trade with TD Ameritrade. OK, I got I got I got Robinhood and CD. Yeah. Why people don't like Robinhood? People don't like Robinhood because of.
Robin Hood was originally supposed to be a share trading stock, but when you enter it went, the option part of it calls, because basically they were letting people trade commission free. So if you buy shares in TD Ameritrade or all these others, you would have to pay, like I think like,
65 cents per transaction or something like that. So people were fed up with the fees because they were paying a dollar to 65 to 50 cents every transaction. So Robin Hood was giving it out free. So of course, for new investors, that's attractive. Not only were they giving out free, but they're giving out free stocks. So that's how...
So think about that. Nobody was offering free anything. And then not only that, they had an all in app interface. So you can literally deposit money from the app. You can do everything from the app. So that is what makes Robin Hood.
popular, regardless of the, uh, skip, skip to, you know, the skeptics, right? So, but traders don't like it because it's slow, um, bad order execution and they, they freeze often, but for the simplicity and for just, I guess a good,
visibly appealing interface, people like Robin Hood. Gotcha. Okay. All right. So this is what I got. I got, um, Apple, Amazon, and URI, actually trap game, you know, these APL, AMZ, and then URI. Why do you only have three? That's all you told me to get. No, I got something in here. Check it out. I got Robin Hood too. I got a couple of joints in Robin Hood. Um, I got, I got,
You up though. Oh yeah. What you need to do. This drawing was ahead too. My man Melvin nunnery gave me this. Oh shoot. Oh look. Oh look. I'm up eight grand today. Oh so you got Robin. You know that's Robin. Oh yeah. So I'm up eight grand. And look today. Yes. And look at all that.
So this is the part where I say- I'm up 46 dollars. So this is the part where I tell you I'm up well over a lot of money in the stock market. So all of these are gains. So I'm up 10,000 on that one. I'm up 17 on that one, 14. All right, where should I buy right now? I would say- Did you buy anything today? No.
You buy the yesterday? No. You buy something tomorrow? No. I have to. I have to wait for the market to drop. So the market's too up right now? Yes. So what's the red one to me? The red means that I'm from where it was. Yeah. So you see how it's red. It's just, but I'm still up on it. It's just me. Yeah. Today's return is not positive.
How can you see like the total amount, y'all? I'm up 17 grand on Kroger and I used to work for Kroger. Damn. And they pay me a dividend per quarter. So now I'm up 18 grand. So the word 17 is just bouncing from 18 to 17. How do you know how much you're up total versus how much you put in? Right. No, I'm talking about like the total portfolio.
You see that? Kroger just hit his 52-week high. So this is when I got in Kroger at $31. $31, but it's $46. You bought $12 on the show. Yeah, it was because I was confident in it. And I'm about $18 grand. What else you confident in, bro? I need something.
I'm showing you live fruit, so that way if people ask, is Aristotle this and that, you've seen it? Yeah, okay. Yeah, so tell me what you like right now. That is a good... Don't y'all want to know what I can buy right now? I'm in the market.
Yeah, like what are we doing? I would have to go research. You know what I'm saying? So when people ask that question, but right now, I understand we're too far up for you to buy. Yeah. So like, for instance, when you asked a stock trader, what's next, we would literally have to go and research and find it, if that makes sense.
because we're not thinking about it right now. We're just, I'm a trader, day trader too. So I long term invest, but I don't look at that. So I'm up 8,000. If I wasn't, I mean, you didn't have a conversation about it. I wouldn't have known I was up 8,000. You know what I'm saying? So when do you ever cash out? Do you take profits? Well, you got a whole stock for a generation. So what I learned is, so I'm not going to sell these because ever, let me tell you why.
And this is what this is what makes stock traders good after about the five year mark people start to become good. It's because experience. I watched five years of stuff of not being able to get into stuff should have gotten that should have what it could have. So for instance, I remember when Tesla was
$150. I remember when Square Cash, the creators of Square Cash app, or whatnot, I remember when they were $46, and now they're like in the $300 and $400, something like that. Oh, did you buy it? Yes, and then I sold at the $100 mark. So what I start realizing is, I done a man. It's a lot of stuff. I can name so much stuff. Roku is a big one. I remember when Roku was $30. How much is it? Like $400 or something. God.
So after you go through a period of time of seeing stuff go up for a course of years, and you missing out on, you're gonna be like, okay, certain stuff I'm not gonna sell. For instance, Kroger. I knew that Kroger was going to boom. I looked at the data. How did you know that, though? Because Kroger is trash. Should we go in the store? Let me explain though. See, this is what you don't know about Kroger. Now we gotta get on this. Very ghetto.
Now we gotta get on this topic. So I used to work for Kroger in high school. I literally made, I'm up 18,000 because of something I remember when I was 17 years old, sitting in the office, about to get hired for a job. But I didn't work for Kroger. I worked for their company, which is dealing. So this is Kroger's game.
Kroger likes to let towns keep their name. And then they'll own you, but they'll let you keep your name because they don't want to bring in a new face or whatnot. So you might go to the store. I don't understand. Let towns keep their name. So in Kansas, the store I worked in was called Dylan's, but they were owned by Kroger. And then they got other branches. Hold on, what?
They were called, it's a grocery store. Kroger is a grocery store. Kroger is the whole way. Oh, so it was like, let's just say, David's groceries. Yes, and but they would let you keep your name. But let you keep your name and supply you the supplies or whatnot. So they'll turn you up, but let you keep your name. I see what you're doing, Kroger.
Yeah, so Kroger, everybody sleeping on Kroger, they thinking Kroger is just a small little, but they literally own so many stores, but they letting them keep their name. So in Kansas, it's called Dylan's, in Texas, it's called this, in California, it's called that. And you see what I'm saying? That's what Kroger is doing. So that's why they got so much money, and that's why they're so profitable. That's actually dope. That is. But guess where I learned that? I learned that eight years ago.
I didn't learn that today. I learned that literally when I was getting hired, when I was 17 years old, and then I sat back and thought about it. I said, man, Kroger is behind, but they have a lot of money. And whenever a company is behind in technology, but has money, see, I knew they had money, but the average person doesn't. Because they are actually the second largest grocery store giant behind, I think Walmart. So they're real, yeah. Bigger than public? Yes.
Yes, but a lot of likes be so low in Kroger. Yeah. It'd be so dark. It don't create a nice buying environment. It'll be like, Publix is like real bright in the screen and fresh Kroger is like, you go, it's like depressing. I got another story you might not know about. College General. Did you know Dollar General has more stores than McDonald's and Walmart?
They are, they have more stores than anybody else. Let me tell you why. Because if you, if you, if you've ever been to the country, every country, there's more rule of town, there are more rule than there is city. So Walmart is in the cities. They're not in the rules. So every rule of town has a, has a dollar general. Let me guess you're invested in dollar general. Yeah.
But see, there's certain things I know because my wife is from the country. Her town only has one store and it's a dollar general. And then I go to the next town, the only store they have is a dollar general.
And you go to the next town, the only store they have is a Dollar General. And then by the time you get to Augusta, they still gonna have Dollar Generals, but now you see Walmart. You see what I'm saying? So look it up, they have the most stores out of anybody. So that's the fundamental analysis, the stuff behind the charts. That's the part. Yes, that's the part. And what I tell people with sometimes life experiences will be able to tell you certain things like for instance,
I knew which cruise line to invest in because I went on all three cruises. I went to Carnival, I went to Norwegian, and I went to Royal Caribbean. You didn't invest in Carnival, did you? I definitely did. Really? Because you got to think of who's going to serve, what is the audience?
Well, yeah, who has the most ships and who's going to serve the most people that can afford to buy it and give them a good time. So what I learned from experience is investing in crew. So I can show you, I'm investing in carnival and I'm up. Carnival. Are you invested in Norwegian too? Nope. I'm only investing in carnival. Now I could. Now I'm not up that much. I'm only up 3,200, but.
Life experiences have taught me about investing as well. Kroger, Carnival Cruise Line, I bought on Life Experience and just checking out the brand. Now that makes me more intrigued to go and check out a lot of brands now because it's going to see what am I investing in? You know what I'm saying? So fundamental is also about life itself too. That is good. I never really thought about it like that.
I never really thought about it like that. So now when I'm not starting thinking, okay, let me ask you this. How long you think this market, we're in a bull market now. How long you think this is gonna last? Or is there no way to tell? It's been a bull market since March 19th, 2020. The day I got in the army, the day I left the army was March 20th, 2020, and that was the last army. You just left the army. Yeah. I haven't even been out of the army for a year and a half yet.
Oh wow, okay. I was a millionaire before I left the army. From stocks. From stocks and business. What business do you, are you ready?
the streams of income. So I have, we went over this last, I have 10 streams of income. So should I name them all? Okay. Absolutely Aristotle. Okay. So I just showed you two stocks trading dividend. So those fall in their own three categories. All right.
Also, dividends is the stream of income that you regularly. Yes. Okay. So as you saw, Kroger, they just paid me $250. That's pending. That's the stream income for me. Sure. So not only did I make 18 grand for them, but I'm making $250 every three months. Got it. Okay. So $1,000 a year on top of. Right. So all the other companies that you have dividends. Right. Okay. So that's three, right? Yep. Then we have my group chat.
And then we have, I might have more than 10, I ain't gonna lie. We probably do. Yeah. So stocks, trading. You know, it's crazy because you have stocks, but you have a bunch of stocks that all spit off a stream of income. Yep. Which is, okay, yeah, keep going. Yep. So, my books. Hold on. What happens in the group chat? What happens in the group chat? That's where I tell people what I'm buying and selling.
Oh, so you know what you're going by, you're not telling me? No. So, so, so, so. I don't have a long-term play, but trading, we could trade right now. You know what I mean? All right. Yo, so check this out. I got some money in my e-trade. I got money in my e-trade. And it's literally been there for probably, I don't know, six months or so. So, where's that? Do you use e-trade?
It was so just, we're sorry, we're unable to process your class. What? All right. Maybe I got a, um, I'm going to do it. Yes, please. Cause I want to, I want you to tell me where I'm supposed to invest. I probably got to do a, um, I don't know what's the update and I have money in trade station too, but I'm going to ask you like what I can trade. Go ahead.
Well, before we even, okay, so after this, I'm going to explain what I'm going to need from you as far as learning this first. Yes. Because that is what you hear us preach all the time. You don't want to hop in blindly. All I got to do is teach you the foundation of training, which is support resistance, candlesticks, volume.
and trend lines. Once I teach you all those, the foundation of technicals, then we can talk about trading because let's just say I say, David, I want you to get in Apple at this price point and you're going to buy it for a bounce. You wouldn't know what I'm talking about. That's a fact. You know what I'm saying? So it's going to be a lot of stuff. I know what calls and puts are. Exactly. So trading, a lot of it that we do with scalping. So this is our game.
This is how I make a lot of money in the stock market as far as my strategy now. What I do is I buy a lot.
but I only want to profit a little bit off that a lot. So for example, I will just say I'm scalping Apple. I'm buying $20,000 worth of contracts for Apple. What does scalping mean? Scalping means I'll quickly, yeah, I need to elaborate. I'm scalping means I'm quickly entering and exiting it. So that means it could be five seconds to five minutes. It's a very quick play I'm trying to capitalize on.
So what I'll do is when you scout, you stand to make about, I would say 10 to about 50% profit. So if I get 50% of 20k, that's 10,000. But if I get 20% of that, I believe it was at 4,000. So
All I want is 20% of 20 grand. That's a $4,000 play quickly, you see what I'm saying? So my game is too, but I know what I'm doing. That's my game. But that's me evolving as a trader. Because soon, because our game used to be this, we used to try to use 1,000 and make another 1,000 instead of using 5,000.
and get 20% of that. Because you get on saying, because think about it, if you've got the skill to make 1,000 from 1,000, then that means you know how to make 100% return.
So why not try to make lower percentages, but with more capital? You see what I'm saying? Oh, so you're not, you're not just, you're not as greedy. You know, if I catch a little, listen, family, everything's getting smarter and smarter. Every device we use smarter and more connected smart watches, Wi-Fi enabled LED light balls.

I'm pulling out. Exactly. That's how I make a lot of money doing it now because I'm putting in 20,000, 10,000, but I only want 2,000, 4,000 from that. Got it. You see what I'm saying? Whereas how we used to invest was we're trying to flip a lot of our money. You know what I mean? That makes sense. Makes sense. So that's how you grow as a trader. So let's just say you, David, started out with 10,000. Yes. Let's talk about how we can scale that 10,000 to 100,000.
Okay. So let's just say it's January 1st, 2022, right? And you say Aristotle, I just want to make another 100k by the end of the year, right? Right. So what is that going to take? It's 250 trading days in a year. So you say you start with 10,000, right? And we want, and our goal is 100k. So if there's 250 trading days in a year, it's going, you're going to have to average $400. Right.
So how does David average $400 after he learns the strategies from me? Where's my water? So I thought I teach you support resistance, candlesticks, trend lines, volume, all of those things we were talking about, right? After I teach you that, now I want to say, okay, with this 10,000, here's how you're going to use it to make sure you're profitable.
and lose the least amount of money. I'm going to say the 20% rule, right? So you're going to use 20% of that 10,000.
Right? So you only have 10,000 worth of capital, but I only want you playing with 20% of that at a time when you're trading. So that way, if you make a mistake, you still got 80% of your money left to try again. So that is how you stay afloat by not using all of your capital in trading. So in investing, you want to use a bulk of your capital because you're diversifying. You see what I'm saying? You saw that I had all my capital out. Yeah.
So now, of that 20%, you're only gonna be playing with $2,000, right? But your goal is to make 400 off that 2,000, which is 20%. Is that what I'm saying? I mean, is that possible every day? Yes. Yes. You're using 2,000. All you want to do is make a 20% play. I can definitely make a 20% play every day, a 10%, 20% play every day. Yeah, you can.
You don't often take losses down. In trading, I would say in a month, if we're doing it, I would say probably three to four times, four out of a month. The whole month. Because you got to think, I'm not playing the same game as, I'm not long term, I'm high probability trading.
You see what I'm saying? So I'm waiting. I have a list of eight things I want to happen. And I'm like a lion in a jungle waiting on it to attack. You know what I'm saying? In the bushes, creeping, waiting for these eight things to happen. So whether it's the gazelle drinking water, whether it's the elephant walking alone, whatever it is, I got a strategy for when I'm an attack. You see what I'm saying? So that's how I play the market.
Basically, in order for me to lose, it has to either be, and it can be a rare occasion where, but it happens, I won't say rare, but it's rare to happen. Hold on, is that my phone? Who phones that? Is that your phone? It might be your phone. See, man, we try to write a professional show here. Is that my phone? All right. So here's the thing.
You want to have a stop-loss. I do know about that, right? If I stop-loss, we should explain it to the amateurs, because they don't really know. So remember, I said... So remember, I said you're starting with 10,000. Yeah. And then we're only going to use 20% of that. And then of that 20%, we only want 20% of that.
profit, right? So we want 20% profit off 20% of our portfolio, which is 400. And remember, if you average $400 a day, you're going to have six figures at the end of the year, because 400 times 250 is 100 K. So that is how theoretically you supposed to do it. It's consistency. So you, David, want to just get, you know, $400 every day from 10,000. Right.
but you're only using 2000. So I'm gonna teach you some strategies that I wanna help you get that 20%. You see what I'm saying? So what you're gonna do is you're gonna be the same way Aristotle does. I'm gonna give you some strategies.
And then you're going to be literally allowing in the bushes, waiting on this to pop off in order to get your 20%. And then you're happy. That's very lit. You should know what I'm saying? But then you just keep doing it consistently. Not granted, every day is not going to be a green day. You should know what I'm saying? So what you need to do, you might have to have a $800 a day. Because it will happen. You're going to have $1,000 a day one day, $1,200. But then you might have a $600 a day loss.
But you have to average $400 a day to be six figures at the end of the year, which is doable. And the stop loss is like, once you get to this particular level, it stops spending your money. Exactly. No, no. So this is a stop loss in option trading world. So let's just say you invested that $200, I mean, $2,000, right? You throw it in the market, right? On a trade. And that's light size to us, $2,000 in the market.
Your stop loss will be, let's just say you only want to lose. Well, I'll give you our rules for stop loss for day trades, it will be 20%. So if you lose 400, we would say pull out that.
If you, that's for day trades. Now for swinging, we would say it's 50%. So if you lose 1000, we would say a lot of that. Gotcha. And the stop loss you said that before you even start trading. Yes. And it's going to be manual. You want to say, okay, I want, but you can do stock limits, which that's a little bit more advanced. I can't really explain on camera. Yeah, they probably not going to get asked for. Yeah, exactly.
But that is what you would do. You would have a low stop loss in order to protect your capital. So your goal was to make 400, but 400 is also, if you lose that, let me get out. So now you have what? 9,400 left to play with. You see what I'm saying? I'm actually prepared to play this game, man. Because I want to learn it. It's better than Vegas. Think about it. I'm giving you
situations that's going to give you the best odds versus in Vegas, you're guessing. You see what I'm saying? Versus this one, all you have to do is play by the rules. Now, this is how people lose because they don't play by the rules. You see what I'm saying? Like, people are investing based on what they homeboy said. They're investing based on... I feel attacked.
I'm just keeping running like people you won't you won't win that way You have to educate yourself. Yeah, so of course I'm gonna say okay This is hard to do because I tried it but then when you ask them how how how extensive was your education on this? That's when okay, you're gonna hear crickets gotcha gotcha Now ready to trade get ready to trade
Y'all ain't ready, you ain't ready. Jay Star, you ain't ready. So you got some pretty successful students? Oh yeah, I got a lot of testimonials. I even made about, I know on record about three millionaires. What? What you mean? Like three millionaires, probably way more than that, but it's like the ones who have confessed to it.
You know what I mean? I'm just saying, some people have egos about that if somebody helped them get to a certain point. You know what I mean? Now, I've definitely changed the culture of option trading, though, because what I did was literally, so the whole culture of Instagram option trading, I put a whole little mark on that. You know what I mean? Because...
Yeah, I think I made it very accessible for the average person to learn it. It used to be, you have to pay $4,000 for it. And I started giving away for free and charging a low price for the course. You know what I mean? How much is the course? $440. Huh? Well, we have a torto. So the course was $440, but now I'm having an in-person conference, which is $1,500. And it's gonna be in Atlanta. But the $440, first off,
Can I get a discount from my group? Do you have like a promo code? You can say no. You get in and free. I want you to check it out. That's love. But the actual course for like people that's watching say, y'all, I don't care if it's like 10% 5% something just so they pay little less than everybody else.
Please have a promo code? We can do that. Hey, I told you to shoot the shot. Social proof. Let's make the promo code social proof. That's what I just saw. If people are interested, give them a little bit of love for watching this whole hour. They can, you know what? They can show up to the Atlanta tour for discount. Well, we don't know when it's September 11th. We don't know when it's coming out though. We'll use dates here.
Oh, that's when it's coming out, September 11th. But the tour, that's something you go to, or that's like something they can always be a part of throughout the year. Oh, they can go to it. We're in their city. So basically the first day I'm going to be breaking down the foundation is going to be in person. So I'm just teaching it right here. But how often are you going to be doing in-person events? I would say once a month.
Okay. All right. So whenever. Okay. Yeah, we got, we got, we got. Okay. All right. Look, I got to, um, I got to like, uh, do a special shout out to my, my sponsors, but I need you to close this out with something really strong after my sponsorship thing. Okay. So, um, this episode sponsored as always by the morning meetup, the morning meetup.com, the morning meetup.com is the only organization that gathers every day.
Do you know, we gather every day Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. Eastern Standard Time, and I teach entrepreneurship. So hundreds of entrepreneurs around the country that show up to the cause like 450 people every morning. Isn't that amazing? It is crazy. Especially you know how you have your group where like the the sauce is in.
The sauce is in like the community, right? So I'm sure people like kind of bounce ideas off each other and have the energy. We got the enjoyment every day and we got a book club. I don't read many books, but actually I read no books in 2020, but we read 10 books together in the morning meetup this year, 2021. So it's absolutely amazing. So go to the morning meetup.com, swing a dollar trial, check it out. If you like it, you can stay. If not, you can leave. It's all good.
Aristotle, man, you are definitely a thinker. You're brilliant. Appreciate it. You've heard that before, though. Yeah, I have. I never been to college either. It's crazy thing. That's why you'd have got all A's and been able to, like, be drunk the whole time and still get A's. Now, that was me in high school. I was the guy who, uh, and I didn't drink enough, but I didn't smoke or drink high school.
I didn't start smoking until I got out of the army. I'll say last year. Really? Yeah. Oh, okay. Yeah. And I enjoy it. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, man. First off, I want to say that's a good program that he run as far as teaching entrepreneurship. It's a great program, whatnot.
I'd have you in there given a 40 minute session on. Oh, yeah. For real. We can land on that. See if I just want to say I appreciate David for bringing me on the show. Yeah, absolutely, man. First off, tell them how to connect with you. And we'll have the, we'll have a link in the, in the description where you can take part in your book and your course and all that kind of stuff. But how can they connect with you?
They can connect with me while I always be on Instagram live at Aristotle underscore investments, just bringing people on live, talking to random people. And on top of that DM, I literally clear out my DM every day, me or my team. So, geez, that's love, that's love. Do we Joe? Every day?
I mean, I make sure my deans are cleaned out because for one that just shows that you care for one, for two, it's just, I just like to look on their faces when they talking to me or whatnot. You know, it's just like their reactions. Absolutely. No, I can't see their faces. You know what I mean? Don't make sure you don't have an aerosol, man. I like for you to kind of close out with a word of wisdom, something that
that there's somebody here, and for one, their brain is turning some spaghetti because they're like, I don't think I can get it. But what's crazy is I'm not a good listen learner, but some of the pictures you painted today help me truly understand it, which I'm not as afraid of it anymore. So talking to somebody who is like the old you, how would you encourage us to close it up? Encourage the old me. The old me, I would say,
For one, financial literacy is key. That's first and foremost. If you want to get ahead in life, and if you want to win, financial literacy is the only way about financial literacy, I mean, you must be versed in how to spend, save, and scale your money. So all of us need multiple streams of income, and all of us need
ways to scale our money. So whether it's buying property, whereas Airbnb, all of us need more than one stream of income. And if you're in the household, use your spouse as a benefit to your business. You will make more money that way.
I can't close it out no better than that, man. Do yourself a favor. One, follow Aristotle. Two, go get you some social proof. And then go build something really, really big. But then I need you to go back to your community and teach your community how you did what you did. It's the only way our community grows. I, we are out of here. Peace.
