So I'm giving away sixty five hundred dollars cash on Learnplanprofit.com and I'm also giving away two thousand dollars cash. uh, on Techbuds apparel and I've been getting asked this question very often. You know if someone were to win, right? Uh, where would be the best place to invest this money And this is something that I think a lot of people are asking themselves as markets have aggressively dropped. There is no question that 2022 has been the year of the Bear. Market It's been one of the longest bear markets in a very long time, meaning that it hasn't even recovered. Let's just use QQ Cube as an example, which is the NASDAQ ETF We can see that based off of from previous all-time Highs at 406 and where we're at right now, we are down nearly 30 percent. Again, anything lower than 20 is considered a recession. We even have spy Spy is considered the S P 500 ETF and based off of previous all-time highs, we could see that right now we are down 15 percent. It is to be. You said that again, arguably one of the best investors of all time. Warren Buffett Said if he were to die, where would he invest his money if he were to be able to just choose one specific stock and or index and he chose the S P 500. With that being said, I wanted to talk about if you had five thousand dollars, right? I Feel like on average, that's normally what someone starts investing with. not trading I'm not saying, uh, aggressively trading those meme stocks I'm talking about investing because markets are very oversold right now. Which means that there are great deals. What would be a decent investment long term meaning that you don't have the intention to sell anytime soon. I Wanted to share your thoughts. Um I Want to share my thoughts with you guys and you guys can let me know in the comments section if you agree. Um, there are going to be ones that we're going to talk about. They're a little bit more risky, but we're going to leave those to the end. The first one that I want to talk about is we have to S P 500 right? If we were to start investing with five thousand dollars based off of that 15 pullback, which is a pretty decent pullback, uh, upside potential, right? it's always going to be more than what it gives back. it's around 18, so if we see it in a perfect world, obviously there's no such thing and you know as a perfect trade. If you were to invest five thousand dollars, that would be a 900 return. Now, obviously this would be considered a very safe play because it's pretty Diversified right? It's considered the top 500 most valuable companies that are publicly traded that make up the S P 500 And you can simply invest into these indexes. So therefore, you're pretty Diversified without having to actually invest in a lot of different companies. Now, if you wanted to be a little bit more risky, this is considered the NASDAQ sector which is the tech sector. Um, and we can which is Main mainly made up of tech companies and we can see from current lows to previous all-time highs, it offers a 42 percent return. So with five thousand dollars, that would be roughly twenty one hundred dollars. so you'd go from five thousand dollars to seven thousand one hundred in a perfect role. Now of course the markets can get worse before they get better. But I think that we can all agree that based off of the recent CPI data report and based off of the idea of the Federal Reserve finally beginning to potentially pivot, it makes sense that the NASDAQ Market or the overall stock market can finally be reaching lows right Now let's get into the juicy stuff. Have you guys heard about Amazon stock? This is one example that I wanted to show you. Uh, one thing that I really like doing is I like looking at current price levels and when was the last time that it was trading at these price levels? And this is the crazy part about this. Like you know some people might be like well Ricky I Don't know if right now or if now is the best time to start investing. First off, you know you can never predict the future so it's not ever that there's a best time. You know it's always like asking yourself a question. Is it a good time? Uh, looking back in 2015 when I bought my first house. Everyone was telling me back then in 2015 in Arizona that the market was going to crash. Fast forward seven years I bought that house for 176 000. it's now worth over half a million. It's something that I just use as a rental property and guess what? I didn't buy at the lowest price point in that entire neighborhood. There's people that got it closer to 100 000 I paid nearly double that. But guess what? I still made money on it I still got it for a good deal long term. and I think that's the thing that people refuse to pay attention to. It's that long-term intention. So let's go ahead and talk about Amazon stock if you invested in Amazon stock. I'm sorry to say pretty much in the past four years you've pretty much given everything back if you didn't lock in profits and what I mean by that is. look back at this. this is the date of time, right 2018. the last time that Amazon stock was trading at an average of 93 dollars a share was back in 2018. So if for the past four years we have been oh, I don't know if I want to get into the stock market. you know I already missed that bull rally then guess what? This is an opportunity If you see it as that, right? We are back to 2018 levels. Everyone that's been invested in that data login Prof Profits has given back everything that they've made and Roi potential. Think about this. This is Amazon stock. Ask yourself a simple question: Do you see Amazon the company going anywhere anytime soon? Do you see it going bankrupt? Of course not. It's a monopoly. It's one of the largest companies that's publicly traded. This thing offers a hundred percent. ROI Imagine putting five thousand dollars and making another five thousand being up, or your having your overall account balance double of what you started with. So the example that I'm giving is five. So now you end up at ten thousand dollars and they ask you what crazy investment did you invest in and then you tell them I invested in Amazon I Invested in Amazon during an uncertain time, but I just focused on getting in at a good deal. I knew that my intention was long term and that although, although it might pull back when I first buy it, understanding that there's more upset potential than downside risk, right? And I Think that's the beautiful thing about Amazon is if you position if you position your site. if you position yourself effectively again, a very simple question to always ask yourself is can you tolerate the time that it will take for the market to recover now I Want to use also Tesla As an example Tesla dates back to 2020 if I'm not mistaken. Uh, so if you've invested in Tesla in the past two years and you haven't locked in profits, you have given everything that you've made back and again. this is back at the end of 2020. Uh, and then it popped off. It pulled on back, popped off, and now we're pulling on back back down to that 2000 end of 2020 levels. Can you guys guess? Can you guys guess what Tesla offers based off of Roi potential based off of previous all-time highs, especially if you're someone that really believes in Elon a hundred and thirty percent? ROI Obviously I don't see Tesla to be as a secured or as a safe investment as Amazon in comparison to a company and how they ran I see much more expansion potential possibly right for Tesla but it's viewed as a higher risk, right? because Elon is, uh, kind of an uncontrolled variable, right? I believe in Elon I Love what it is that he's doing. But let's be honest, right? All emotions aside I would say Amazon's much safer. but I Just want to make sure that we talk about Tesla now I Want to talk about Google right? Alphabet: One of the largest advertisement based platforms out there. We are dating back to kind of like early 2021 or late 2020 and again, you have to think about it. Google isn't going anywhere. that's the one. the largest search engine in the world and this thing offers 56 percent. ROI You can even reach out to any you know, investment advisor or any fund manager. Whatever it is that you want to run this idea by of like hey, you know I have I have this money that I want to put into the market. how much and what do you think about investing in either these Quality Companies at these oversold levels just buying and leaving it there. Or if I should stay Diversified and invest into something like the Spy and or the QQQ uh, Index right? So the S P 500 or the NASDAQ index so I can be a little bit more Diversified Obviously, if you're playing a little bit safer, you're not going to make as much on the upside, but it doesn't matter. I Think the biggest mistake that you can make is during this down time to try to make an excuse on why to not be invested. I'm using the example of five thousand dollars because of our two thousand dollar cash giveaway on apparel and because of our 6 500 cash flow giveaway for Lpp. But realistically, if your excuse has always been well, I don't know if now is the time to get started, then guess what? Even if you buy one share, buying one share and just experiencing it and testing it out is better than someone having an opinion and always sitting on the sidelines. Think about all of those family members. Think about all of those friends that always talk about buying a home, but never do it. You can come on in, buy a house, and even if you bought a house four years ago, you're still better off than where they were Because now they're still complaining about how inflated Pro property values are. And again, there's always those that talk and that have a loud opinion that never actually do anything. So especially with this up and coming year 2023, Are you someone that wants to continue to sit on the sidelines Or do something in a calculated way, right? You don't need to buy it with five thousand dollars, You don't even need to buy with a thousand dollars? Stop and remove your ego, right? The whole point is to get started. And even if you just buy one share, buy one share of Tesla Buy one share of Amazon Buy one share of Google Buy one share of SP Why? It doesn't matter. Put yourself in a position in which you can tolerate. Remember, it's not an if the market will recover. It's a when can you tolerate the time that they will take for the market to recover? That's the magical question to ask yourself. So make sure that you position size, position, size yourself effectively. I Want to recap the overall day just so you guys can see where I'm at for the overall day. This is Sqq. This is not an investment vehicle.
