So i think we should have this uncomfortable conversation, so some guy just commented in my video saying: hey tom you're, the best. Thank you. So much you've made me so much money. Your video about vale, the brazilian company really made me invest.

Then i got in at 11. now the stock is at 15. wow you're. So great now i'm happy for the guy for making money.

But i think he missed the whole point of my channel and my methodology and i think, just general common sense of how you should behave in the stock market, so good for him for making some money. But i think that i should be judged based on. I don't think a few months. Is it five, seven, eight nine years? That's how i judge myself so just as i'm completely agnostic, ambivalent, whatever you want to call it to people they're telling me well, palantir stock is down.

You failed tom you're, an idiot you're fool. Palantir is a failure, just in the same manner that that really have no emotional reaction to this, because i know that volunteer is a five-year plan, so you know we'll see in five years. I might be a failure and this might be a bad bet and they might fail, but we'll find out in five years. You know it's no point.

Looking at the price right now, it's literally like you know the first two minutes of the first quarter of a basketball game. Who knows how this thing plays out the same thing with the with vale or any of the companies i have. You know for every example of this valley, where this guy made like on the money. We probably have similar examples.

You know in the last six months where i thought a company is a great investment, long term and in the past six months it underperformed significantly. There's plenty of examples wish i mean just one there's many others, so i could be here sitting picking and choosing and basically highlighting this comment, saying: oh look, how brilliant i am and, and and you know i got this guy to invest and whatever so. First of all, yeah, i'm not going to do that for many reasons. Number one is you know it's not my responsibility to recommend you anything.

I shared you, my research and you made the decision and you invested. You made the money good for you, but i think that in all honesty - and i understand, there's certain you know there's a lot of day traders and swing traders who watch my channel, but my content when i say something about company, that's long term, that's like a Five-Year plan - for me i mean i don't - invest unless i see a five-year future for company or unless i wan na, maybe have a hedge. So i can do short term. If i see that i need to hedge against inflation or there's, a rotational aspect, i want to you know, create some sort of a balance in my portfolio, but in general, when i deep dive and analyze a company, it's a five five-year window for me.

So and i think that taking profits, if you think that you know a certain company is going to go big for whatever reason taking profits. You know after a few months, it's nice, but i think you're selling yourself short, if you do that, because in all honesty like, if you think that a certain company, let's say a palantir or tesla or sincionix or whatever like a check cap or whatever company, i Don't know, there's a million different if you think how many can be disruptive, insanely, deceptive and then you're taking 15 profit and getting out cool. You just made 15 20 great for you, but you you know you just became potentially the guy who sold bitcoin at 100. After buying it at 20., i know a guy like that as well, so i'm just saying that please, please, please, for better or worse whether it's good or bad do not judge me on a few months of a stock performance.

Don't hate me because of volunteer and don't love me because of vale look at the stocks that i'm analyzing make your own analysis and, let's regroup here and you know, have a discussion have an analysis. Five years down the road you know which stocks actually panned out, which which didn't simple as that and swing trades - and you know quick gains. It's a very it's a it's. A very cheap excitement.

I mean okay, so you made you know a million bucks this year by swing trading great, but you, if you did that if you kept the money like in a company like like a tesla right for the last three years, you know that million could have been A lot higher than that, so all i'm saying is just you know. I know that the patient is there to take quick cash, because you know you want it. You want to grab that money, but if you're doing you know the methodology that i'm kind of trying to showcase, which is to go long term, then you know getting out after a 15 spike. I don't know it.

I you know you, you might make a little money here and the stock, usually when it jumps up it corrects so. You kind of you know you make a little bit of money, but all i'm saying if you want to scratch the lottery ticket and you want to you - know potentially get a horse in that in that race of creating generational transformative wealth. You can't do it by swing trading. 15.

20. You got to go and bet on companies that you think will be the most dominant force in the next 10 years and and for that swing trading and going to the trick. But you know just sharing my thoughts here. Uh.

Obviously there's a lot of people who disagree with me and feel free to call me out in the comment section. But i'm just saying you know. Don't judge me on a few months and don't judge yourself on a few months performance. You know, let's see in a few years, what happens later.
