it's awesome that Dave Ramsey can have that conversation with your and still give you accolades on your ways even if you don't do it the way he would. Much respect to both of you.
Hoovie commenting on a video of Graham Stephan talking to Dave Ramsey is like running into my best friend, coworker and dad having lunch without me being invited.
Thank you Graham! Have been waiting years for this. You got me started on this journey back in 2017. I watched you make a Dave Ramsey video then I started watching Dave Ramsey. So proud of you as well as I know you would of been itching for this. Next time I hope it’s on iced coffee hour.
I've just begun learning about value investing, and I've found that many good stocks are undervalued despite their intrinsic value. If you had $200,000 to create a strong investment portfolio, which stocks would you choose for better returns?
I think a good investment portfolio should have three basic things: ETFs for diversification, dividend stocks for cash flow, and leading tech stocks. With your budget, it's a good idea to talk to a fiduciary financial advisor for expert advice.
A lot of folks downplay the role of advlsors until being burnt by their own emotions. I remember couple summers back, after my lengthy divorce, I needed a good boost to help my business stay afloat, hence I researched for licensed advisors and came across someone of utmost qualifications. She's helped grow my reserve notwithstanding inflation, from $$275k to $850K...
This is definitely considerable! think you could suggest any professional/advisors i can get on the phone with? I'm in dire need of proper portfolio allocation.
Biggest lesson i learnt in 2023 in the stock market is that nobody knows what is going to happen next, so practice some humility and low a strategy with a long term edge.
Nobody knows anything; You need to create your own process, manage risk, and stick to the plan, through thick or thin, While also continuously learning from mistakes and improving.
That sounds like a good plan. In the past two years, working closely with a financial market specialist, I've built a six-figure diversified stock portfolio. Now, I aim to diversify even more this year.
Talking about a financial market specialist, do you consider anyone worthy of recommendations? I have about 100k to test the waters now that large cap stocks are at a discount... Thanks
“NICOLE ANASTASIA PLUMLEE’’ is the licensed fiduciary I use. Just research the name. You’d find necessary details to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment.

The most popular investment portfolio strategies include diversification, where you spread investments across different asset classes to manage risk. Another is the growth strategy, focused on capital appreciation through high-risk, high-reward assets. Income-oriented strategies target regular income from dividend stocks or bonds. Finally, there's the value strategy, seeking undervalued assets for potential long-term gains.
For the average individual, the tactics are rather demanding. Actually, most of them are effectively completed by professionals who possess the necessary knowledge and skill sets to carry out such trades.
This is why I entrusted a fiduciary with my investmnt decisions. Many underestimate advisors until emotions lead to losses. My advisor crafted a tailored strategy aligning with my long-term goals, guiding entry and exit points for the equities I focus on. This has grown my portfolio to over $850k. My personal best so far
I just googled her and I'm really impressed with her credentials; I reached out to her since I need all the assistance I can get. I just scheduled a caII.
He’s always been sensible, it’s just that head been dealing with a lot of senseless financial decisions people make daily so it’s hard to have him talk on this level frequently.
Usually his detail investment advise is bad. That has always been my biggest problem with him. However this was great advice. So I have revised my opinion. I think he just gives horrible advice on tax planning and stock investments. His real estate and concentrating on what you are good at is great investment advice.
@@VGFightSchool Yep, I second this. This is the Dave Ramsey who speaks to people who understand finances. The Dave Ramsey that makes the news is the one speaking to people trying to get a 7% mortgage on a trailer home co-signed by their mom.
FPU, including the baby steps, is for people with an infantile understanding of budgeting and finance. I'm not saying that to be mean; we've all been there. It is just a matter of what stage you begin to learn. Some people will never graduate beyond the baby steps, and that is totally fine as long as it facilitates the mitigation of financial risk and helps accomplish long-term goals. Dave is a smart guy; he develops and markets this material to a certain audience. For the most part, he hits that target and provides a valuable service for the market he targets.
It’s amazing to see you two come together for this. I’ve watched you both religiously for the last number of years. What an incredible moment. Congrats Graham.
I really like both of you guys. You’re both mature, smart financial minds, and this was a fantastic meeting of those minds. This could be a seriously successful series.
I saw this and about cried with how kind and gentle Dave is. He has such a kind heart but he is a rock because he knows his ways works for the every day person. This is absolutely fantastic and I wish I had seen it sooner.
the fact that you have him in your network and you are able to speak to him about this is dope! Great convo you guys had here and I loved his input. Great stuff! Keep it up, man!
You know you’re doing something right when Dave Ramsey doesn’t criticize you. Amazing opportunity Graham, and congrats on all your hard work. Really awesome to see this. Cheers
@@alrbredwall - Good point. However Dave offered Graham lots of praise for his achievements, and seemed to have respect for his hard work. Then again, Graham isn’t the typical guest on the show that’s in heavy debt. So this is more of a mentorship chat, which is pretty cool to see. Very different exchange from the common “tough love” were used to hearing from Dave.
@@TheBrazilRules he also mentioned that with all of the leverage against him he should have more cash to protect himself if he isn't going to pay off the debt all at once
This was amazing!. I've always admired Graham so much with the way he both completely admires Dave Ramsey so much that the cat is named after him while having opposing views about debt and credit cards. Congratulations Graham on meeting and talking to the one and only Dave Ramsey. I thought this was just going to be entertaining, but I really learned something. One of my tenants want to buy their rental and I never thought about doing a 1031 exchange with the option of just paying taxes if I don't find something. That's such a stress free way to go about selling while having options. I'm looking forward to the podcast.
This is almost a discussion between two financial guys from two different parts of their lives. Really good episode! Like they say, the young guy knows the rules, the old guy knows the exceptions!
this was one of the most wholesome, informative and entertaining videos I’ve ever watched. Two SUPER powers!!! Excellent and down to earth conversation. Thank you so much for doing this and for everything you do!!!!
The fact that he's got 3/4 of his debt covered in cash and has a ton of investments that he could liquidate really fast, is probably what made Dave so comfortable with that debt. It is Wild to see how much money/assets Graham has! Good for him.
LOL, that's because its all BS. People are so incredibly gullible these days. I bought my house for $250k, but now its worth $18T. All I owe is a $20T mortgage on it. I'm a genius! LMAO. Seriously, though, the only thing this guy owns is debt. Seen this a million times.
It's because he makes so much from his TH-cam (Over 100K per month)... so he's been able to roll it all into the properties... he tells you about real-estate, gets 5x his real-estate money from TH-cam, rolls it into his portfolio, then tells you about his new portfolio and looks like a real estate genius lol
@@KungPowEnterFist It's BS if you think real estate appraisals and valuations are BS - do you think his properties are not appraising for what he's noting here? Look at similar-sized lots in Vegas? Or is your point that he is pyramid-scheming his properties with all the cash-out refinances?
@@KungPowEnterFist You understand those are all renovated properties, right? Bought for little, fixed and renovated, sold for top dollar, or rather appraised and rented out at this point. It's only BS if you're ignorant. The housing market has been absolutely ridiculous the last few years. There's always the haters that think absolutely everything is fake. 😂
Great discussion love hearing two opposing opinions on the opposite ends of the spectrum and being able to sit and meet in the same room and have a civil discussion. THIS is what both of your subscribers are looking for. Also it’s what we need in our country
So cool you got to sit down with Dave Ramsey. I’m so used to seeing him bash people who suck with finances, funny to see how overall positive he was. hope to see a follow up video someday on how you did by taking or not taking his advice.
The biggest thing I learned from this video was 50% of investing is buying good companies at good prices and the other 50% is controlling your emotions when . market is moody.I realized that the secret to making a million is making better investment. I always tell myself you don't need that new car or that vacation just yet and that mindset helps me make more money investing.
I never added a comment to Graham's videos before, but I thought I needed to on this one. Graham is one of my all-time favourite TH-camrs, as he is highly gifted, knowledgeable, humble, and extremely successful in life. As a South African, I feel that there are a lot of investment principles I can and have applied myself by following the channel. So I want to thank you for the value you add.
Graham, it was very kind of Dave to do this video with you! These kinds of collaborative/discussion style videos rock. Really great to hear Dave's perspective, always been curious, and not surprised by his overall assessment.
@@GrahamStephan Dave Ramsey did say one thing wrong... "there are no secrets of the rich." Actually there is one. It's the one and only thing you need to be rich and it's in all books or lists of secrets of the rich... Often called "live below your means." The only way to get rich is by reducing your spending on consumer goods and increasing your spending (investing) on capital goods. You have to reduce your lifestyle and not live paycheck to paycheck. There's an economic proof for this. It's called the production possibilities frontier. So think of yourself as an economy. To grow your personal economy you have to increase your ppf.
This was actually incredibly refreshing to watch. It’s nice to see Dave look at and accept debt from a logical standpoint while still holding true to his beliefs around it. I never thought I’d see the day that Dave accept someone having debt as part of a risk balanced portfolio
He always has - people dont understand or actually listen. DR is saying that the baby steps are the fastest and SUREST way to build wealth. He has never said it is the ONLY way. It is his way and if people call and ask for advice this is the response you will always get 1-7.
This is how my financial advisor has always been - if the debt is affordable and low enough interest, he always recommends investing for a higher return, and letting the debt slowly work off instead of lump-sum paying it off. Like a house loan, which is usually lower % than what you can make investing $100k+
There is a difference between Graham having debt as part of his business and using it logically/mathematically while making money on the properties vs a couple living in house with two jobs and overbuying something they aren’t using to make money on but to live in… totally different types of debts. Not you specifically but I have seen many peoples’ criticisms about his anti debt and baby step philosophy as too hard core but that’s the only way for the average non business minded person to really do well. KISS. Keep it simple stupid. He is also not wrong, paying off the debt would just eliminate all risk for graham and let him continue to build cash with no debt to become his “own bank” for the next property. As Dave said, he didn’t make his money leveraging rates but rather finding and making good deals.
Graham, this is the content we need! I know it's just business to post those headlines or "crashing market" videos, but this is the content that I think a lot of us came around for. This type of content may take more time to make, but it hasn't gone to waste!
This was an awesome discussion. Leveraged and sophisticated investor and tried and true Dave Ramsey principles. Just goes to show nothing is cut and dry and once youre a good money manager, you can make big things happen.
Love how humble you are and genuinely interested in providing the best and most authentic side of you to your audience. “I think this Graham guy is going places”😅😂
Dave seems like a down to earth guy in this verse what he does. There was no yelling or biosturess animation. It was like you guys were just two Joe in a coffee bar.
This was a good convo. Appreciate y’all’s maturity and keeping it cool on both ends. Also, Graham, you are crazy gifted man, it’s so obvious you have those gifts and a humble spirit to carry others with you. Keep crushing
Keeping it cool? As if there was a need to bicker. When two open minded people can sit down and have a conversation this is the result unless you mistakingly viewed one or both parties as being incapable of having a civil conversation. You act as if this was going to be a talk between Trump and Biden.
My biggest irk with ETFs is the lack of optimization;changes in any given stock in the ETF can drag your portfolio down. While dividends can provide immediate income, the true power lies in the compounding effect over many years. But in general, I think the stock market isn't showing any sign of slowdown and I'm still looking for companies to make additions to my $350K portfolio, to boost performance. Here for ideas...
I think the next big thing will be A.I. For enduring growth akin to META, it's vital to avoid impulsive decisions driven by short-term fluctuations. Prioritize patience and a long-term perspective most importantly consider financial advisory for informed buying and selling decisions.
A lot of folks downplay the role of advlsors until being burnt by their own emotions. I remember couple summers back, after my lengthy divorce, I needed a good boost to help my business stay afloat, hence I researched for licensed advisors and came across someone of utmost qualifications. She's helped grow my reserve notwithstanding inflation, from $275k to $850k.
Elisse Laparche Ewing is the licensed fiduciary I use. Just research the name. You’d find necessary details to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment..
She appears to be well-educated and well-read. I ran an online search on her name and came across her website; thank you for sharing. I sccheduled a caII
Suddenly I feel better about my own wealth building position which is almost dead center in the middle between you and Dave. Thank you so very much Graham. Your transparency is inspiring.
Omfg! LibertonCorp turned out to be a bloody smart move. I love love love this. I’m the wrong side of 40 so I’m taking this all on board IMMEDIATELY- thank you! Even if I run out of time my kids will benefit from this incredible education. Thankyou thankyou thankyou!!
Truly, it was a great conversation. I enjoyed the relaxed manner. Just two guys talking. They were so comfortable, it was like they were sitting at the kitchen table. One friend to another.
I’ve been listening to Dave since he started out on the radio in Nashville. This is the calmest I’ve ever seen him when talking about debt. I think the key thing that makes the difference that didn’t come up here is what Dave always points out about debt for most people being a behavior problem rather than a math problem. I look at leverage the same way you do, Graham. I think the average person that Dave talks to hasn’t proven that they can behave well with debt. You clearly have. Well done!
I feel investors should be focusing on under-the-radar stocks, and considering the current rollercoaster nature of the stock market, Because 35% of my $770k portfolio comprises of plummeting stocks which were once revered and i don't know where to go here out of devastation
Safest approach i feel to tackle it is to diversify investments. By spreading investments across different asset classes, like bonds, real estate, and international stocks, they can reduce the impact of a market meltdown
No doubt, having the right plan is invaluable, my portfolio is well-matched for every season of the market and recently hit 100% rise from early last year. I and my CFP are working on a 7 figure ballpark goal, tho this could take till Q3 2024.
I just googled her and I'm really impressed with her credentials; I reached out to her since I need all the assistance I can get. I just scheduled a caII.
If you can make more than the interest rate on the debt, then you keep the debt. It's math 101. 2-3% loans with the spy averaging 11.5% a year. Keep the debt.
I listen to Dave a lot, and this is the most reasonable and chill I’ve ever seen him. You have millions in debt, yet he didn’t jump down your throat. This was such an upgrade from the reactionary Ramsey we all usually get.
This is quite educational. It's crucial for newcomers to keep in mind that the financial markets are highly irrational in the short run. You should constantly be ready for the unexpected. That is how chance operates. Because of the inherent risks in the market, I always favor long-term investments.
These uncertainties will always be there. Thing is, every once in a while, the market does something so stupid it takes your breath away. If you’re not ready for it, you shouldn’t be in the market. or get you a skilled practitioner.
That makes sense. I’ve been using a financial market expert for two years now and I own a six-figure diversified portfolio from investing in stocks. I want to diversify more this year, though.
I really want to get in with a financial advisor this year, especially as all markets are hitting highs. I don't want to be too optimistic and end up losing everything.
Thanks for sharing. I curiously searched for her full name and her website popped up immediately. I looked through her credentials and did my due diligence before contacting her.
I love how calm and encouraging Dave was in this clip.. it's almost as if he saw a younger version of himself in you. haha congrats to finally getting on the show Graham!
They have respectfully criticize each other for years. Both with different experiences about debt, both successful and both sticking with their principles. I love this collab.
It is so interesting to see different perspective from Kevin O’Leary and Dave. Kevin commented you should not have a heavy real estate portfolio and should diversify whereas Dave said you should focus on what you do the best: ie Real Estate. Would be very interesting if you extended yourself into commercial real estate.
You’ve come such a long way Graham!! I’m so thankful for each video of knowledge you’ve uploaded. I’ve been faithful to you & the algorithm since 80K subs
I’m pleasantly surprised at Dave’s diplomatic way of speaking. He comes across as preachy in his show but he really knows how to talk to a person who potentially has an opposing view and just calmly speak his mind without being disagreeable.
His show is catered to people who can't control themselves. Specifically they can't control themselves with accumulating consumer debt.. When he gets in the room with someone who understands what's going on, this is who is usually is.
@@DarinPirkey He might "think" that is his audience... but those people won't be reached by ugliness. His actual audience are people who are just as ugly-minded as him... so they can have nasty attitudes about "others". If he carried the attitude he had in this video ALL the time, he'd actually reach the people he claims he wants to reach... but his viewership would go down.
This was so motivating to watch. Congratulations graham, you’ve worked hard and deserve all the success you’ve gotten and will get in the future. I’m sure people watching this will strive to achieve what you have achieved and we need more people like you to teach us what the school system will not.
This was fantastic Graham. it's been years since I've commented on your videos, but when I did you always made time to like and comment. That's what I love about you. You're very humble. God bless.
Very interesting to see how Dave is more flexible and open minded in his thinking here. He definitely tones down his usual tropes and makes them seem less dire. I guess he has a lot of faith that you’re managing the leverage well!
Agreed. He is for beginners. Plane and simple. And there certainly is the benefit of additional security when you reach a point and decide to permanently be debt free-even if that slows your growth down for a brief time.
"What I noticed about people that are worth more than 20 million dollars is that most of them find something they like, and then they do it a lot." ~ Dave Ramsey
Yes stocks are pretty unstable at the moment, but if you do the right math, you should be just fine. Bloomberg and other finance media have been recording cases of folks gaining over 250k just in a matter of weeks/couple months, so I think there are alot of wealth transfer in this downtime if you know where to look.
Since the crash, I've been in the red. I’m playing the long term game, so I'm not too worried but Jim Cramer mentioned there are still a lot of great opportunities, though stocks has been down a lot. I also heard news of a guy that made $250k from about $110k since the crash and I would really look to know how to go about this.
I've been watching Graham for years and he constantly has brought up Dave Ramsey, he's the one that introduced me to Dave Ramsey and his principles. Both Graham and Dave have been inspirations for me in the financial world, and it's great to see Graham finally meet one of his heroes.

One of my tenants want to buy their rental and I never thought about doing a 1031 exchange with the option of just paying taxes if I don't find something. That's such a stress free way to go about selling while having options. I'm looking forward to the podcast.
This is almost a discussion between two financial guys from two different parts of their lives. Really good episode! Like they say, the young guy knows the rules, the old guy knows the exceptions!
Smart statement! Definitely taking this down.
this was one of the most wholesome, informative and entertaining videos I’ve ever watched. Two SUPER powers!!! Excellent and down to earth conversation. Thank you so much for doing this and for everything you do!!!!
The fact that he's got 3/4 of his debt covered in cash and has a ton of investments that he could liquidate really fast, is probably what made Dave so comfortable with that debt. It is Wild to see how much money/assets Graham has! Good for him.
LOL, that's because its all BS. People are so incredibly gullible these days. I bought my house for $250k, but now its worth $18T. All I owe is a $20T mortgage on it. I'm a genius! LMAO. Seriously, though, the only thing this guy owns is debt. Seen this a million times.
@@KungPowEnterFist how's it BS?
It's because he makes so much from his TH-cam (Over 100K per month)... so he's been able to roll it all into the properties... he tells you about real-estate, gets 5x his real-estate money from TH-cam, rolls it into his portfolio, then tells you about his new portfolio and looks like a real estate genius lol
@@KungPowEnterFist It's BS if you think real estate appraisals and valuations are BS - do you think his properties are not appraising for what he's noting here? Look at similar-sized lots in Vegas? Or is your point that he is pyramid-scheming his properties with all the cash-out refinances?
@@KungPowEnterFist You understand those are all renovated properties, right? Bought for little, fixed and renovated, sold for top dollar, or rather appraised and rented out at this point. It's only BS if you're ignorant. The housing market has been absolutely ridiculous the last few years. There's always the haters that think absolutely everything is fake. 😂
its incredible that Graham is this open. no one can stop someone with this level of honesty.
Wow! Congrats Graham. What a great interaction you had with Ramsey. I’ve admired him for a long time & you’re hitting it on all cylinders! ⭐️
My two favorite financial channels. The amount of stuff you two have taught me shaped my financial future and I’d like to thank you both.
Great discussion love hearing two opposing opinions on the opposite ends of the spectrum and being able to sit and meet in the same room and have a civil discussion. THIS is what both of your subscribers are looking for. Also it’s what we need in our country
I love your rapport with Dave ! Also your guest appearance with Dave and George. Great chemistry and wisdom to impart ! Tysm
So cool you got to sit down with Dave Ramsey. I’m so used to seeing him bash people who suck with finances, funny to see how overall positive he was. hope to see a follow up video someday on how you did by taking or not taking his advice.
The biggest thing I learned from this video was 50% of investing is buying good companies at good prices and the other 50% is controlling your emotions when . market is moody.I realized that the secret to making a million is making better investment. I always tell myself you don't need that new car or that vacation just yet and that mindset helps me make more money investing.
investment requires good coach and knowledge to carry out a good and successful trade,
I never added a comment to Graham's videos before, but I thought I needed to on this one. Graham is one of my all-time favourite TH-camrs, as he is highly gifted, knowledgeable, humble, and extremely successful in life. As a South African, I feel that there are a lot of investment principles I can and have applied myself by following the channel. So I want to thank you for the value you add.
This is the video I been waiting for!!!! This is THE ONE
AFTER 5 YEARS!!
Graham, it was very kind of Dave to do this video with you! These kinds of collaborative/discussion style videos rock. Really great to hear Dave's perspective, always been curious, and not surprised by his overall assessment.
Wow! You’ve managed to impress Dave Ramsey. Not an easy feat, my friend. Good job 👍🏾
ha thanks!!
Gross. Cult like religious leader, who treats his employees like crap.
@@GrahamStephan Dave Ramsey did say one thing wrong... "there are no secrets of the rich." Actually there is one. It's the one and only thing you need to be rich and it's in all books or lists of secrets of the rich... Often called "live below your means." The only way to get rich is by reducing your spending on consumer goods and increasing your spending (investing) on capital goods. You have to reduce your lifestyle and not live paycheck to paycheck. There's an economic proof for this. It's called the production possibilities frontier. So think of yourself as an economy. To grow your personal economy you have to increase your ppf.
This was actually incredibly refreshing to watch. It’s nice to see Dave look at and accept debt from a logical standpoint while still holding true to his beliefs around it. I never thought I’d see the day that Dave accept someone having debt as part of a risk balanced portfolio
Right? Totally agree, Seth. 👍
He always has - people dont understand or actually listen. DR is saying that the baby steps are the fastest and SUREST way to build wealth. He has never said it is the ONLY way. It is his way and if people call and ask for advice this is the response you will always get 1-7.
This is how my financial advisor has always been - if the debt is affordable and low enough interest, he always recommends investing for a higher return, and letting the debt slowly work off instead of lump-sum paying it off. Like a house loan, which is usually lower % than what you can make investing $100k+
There is a difference between Graham having debt as part of his business and using it logically/mathematically while making money on the properties vs a couple living in house with two jobs and overbuying something they aren’t using to make money on but to live in… totally different types of debts.
Not you specifically but I have seen many peoples’ criticisms about his anti debt and baby step philosophy as too hard core but that’s the only way for the average non business minded person to really do well. KISS. Keep it simple stupid.
He is also not wrong, paying off the debt would just eliminate all risk for graham and let him continue to build cash with no debt to become his “own bank” for the next property. As Dave said, he didn’t make his money leveraging rates but rather finding and making good deals.
He doesn't accept it. He just understand he isn't going to convince this guy otherwise.
I'm so glad you guys did a segment together. I've been watching you guys for years.
Graham, this is the content we need! I know it's just business to post those headlines or "crashing market" videos, but this is the content that I think a lot of us came around for. This type of content may take more time to make, but it hasn't gone to waste!
Dave is probably the best guy to ask this question to because he was basically Graham at that age (heavily invested in real estate and debt)
So raw and authentic. No bs, straight to the point. Love this
I’m impressed that Dave was as humble and understanding as he was and gave what I felt was pretty great feedback.
I’m so happy you achieved this a sit down with Dave after so long! Hell yes!
enjoy!
This was an awesome discussion. Leveraged and sophisticated investor and tried and true Dave Ramsey principles. Just goes to show nothing is cut and dry and once youre a good money manager, you can make big things happen.
Motivation of the day; Never take criticism from someone you wouldn't go to for advice. -Morgan Freeman. You got this keep going !❤️🔥
I appreciate that!
That's terrible. People that hate you are often quickest to point out your mistakes. Good advice can come from anywhere.
Two legends. I already love the video, only by seeing the first minute.
Love how humble you are and genuinely interested in providing the best and most authentic side of you to your audience. “I think this Graham guy is going places”😅😂
This is beyond cool. Hearing Dave speak to someone who he knows is a financial guru and talk at a higher level was awesome.
thanks!! agreed!
Dave seems like a down to earth guy in this verse what he does. There was no yelling or biosturess animation. It was like you guys were just two Joe in a coffee bar.
This was a good convo. Appreciate y’all’s maturity and keeping it cool on both ends. Also, Graham, you are crazy gifted man, it’s so obvious you have those gifts and a humble spirit to carry others with you.
Keep crushing
Keeping it cool? As if there was a need to bicker. When two open minded people can sit down and have a conversation this is the result unless you mistakingly viewed one or both parties as being incapable of having a civil conversation. You act as if this was going to be a talk between Trump and Biden.
My biggest irk with ETFs is the lack of optimization;changes in any given stock in the ETF can drag your portfolio down. While dividends can provide immediate income, the true power lies in the compounding effect over many years. But in general, I think the stock market isn't showing any sign of slowdown and I'm still looking for companies to make additions to my $350K portfolio, to boost performance. Here for ideas...
I think the next big thing will be A.I. For enduring growth akin to META, it's vital to avoid impulsive decisions driven by short-term fluctuations. Prioritize patience and a long-term perspective most importantly consider financial advisory for informed buying and selling decisions.
A lot of folks downplay the role of advlsors until being burnt by their own emotions. I remember couple summers back, after my lengthy divorce, I needed a good boost to help my business stay afloat, hence I researched for licensed advisors and came across someone of utmost qualifications. She's helped grow my reserve notwithstanding inflation, from $275k to $850k.
Elisse Laparche Ewing is the licensed fiduciary I use. Just research the name. You’d find necessary details to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment..
She appears to be well-educated and well-read. I ran an online search on her name and came across her website; thank you for sharing. I sccheduled a caII
the stock market isn't showing any sign of slowdown? ll
Suddenly I feel better about my own wealth building position which is almost dead center in the middle between you and Dave. Thank you so very much Graham. Your transparency is inspiring.
Thanks!
Omfg! LibertonCorp turned out to be a bloody smart move. I love love love this. I’m the wrong side of 40 so I’m taking this all on board IMMEDIATELY- thank you! Even if I run out of time my kids will benefit from this incredible education. Thankyou thankyou thankyou!!
In all my years of watching the both of you, not once have i even thought this was a possibility. This is awesome.
thanks!
Man that was an incredible clip! So much humility, respect, and wisdom being shared, in both directions.
Truly, it was a great conversation. I enjoyed the relaxed manner. Just two guys talking. They were so comfortable, it was like they were sitting at the kitchen table. One friend to another.
I’ve been listening to Dave since he started out on the radio in Nashville. This is the calmest I’ve ever seen him when talking about debt. I think the key thing that makes the difference that didn’t come up here is what Dave always points out about debt for most people being a behavior problem rather than a math problem. I look at leverage the same way you do, Graham. I think the average person that Dave talks to hasn’t proven that they can behave well with debt. You clearly have. Well done!
This was some great Dave content. Nice to see him in conversation and in a different way. Good job.
I appreciate Dave stepping out of his typical demeaning demeanor and being thoughtful in his analysis.
Well produced. Nice job on this.
I feel investors should be focusing on under-the-radar stocks, and considering the current rollercoaster nature of the stock market, Because 35% of my $770k portfolio comprises of plummeting stocks which were once revered and i don't know where to go here out of devastation
Safest approach i feel to tackle it is to diversify investments. By spreading investments across different asset classes, like bonds, real estate, and international stocks, they can reduce the impact of a market meltdown
No doubt, having the right plan is invaluable, my portfolio is well-matched for every season of the market and recently hit 100% rise from early last year. I and my CFP are working on a 7 figure ballpark goal, tho this could take till Q3 2024.
Please can you leave the info of your lnvestment advsor here? I’m in dire need for one
Melissa Jean Talingdan is the licensed advisor I use. Just search the name. You’d find necessary details to work with to set up an appointment.
I just googled her and I'm really impressed with her credentials; I reached out to her since I need all the assistance I can get. I just scheduled a caII.
If you can make more than the interest rate on the debt, then you keep the debt. It's math 101. 2-3% loans with the spy averaging 11.5% a year. Keep the debt.
What a wonderful conversation! That is the Dave Ramsey that people love. You guys were talking like best buddies.
I listen to Dave a lot, and this is the most reasonable and chill I’ve ever seen him. You have millions in debt, yet he didn’t jump down your throat. This was such an upgrade from the reactionary Ramsey we all usually get.
Respect for exposing your portfolio. Thanks for your hard work man 🤘🏿
I appreciate that!
This is quite educational. It's crucial for newcomers to keep in mind that the financial markets are highly irrational in the short run. You should constantly be ready for the unexpected. That is how chance operates. Because of the inherent risks in the market, I always favor long-term investments.
These uncertainties will always be there. Thing is, every once in a while, the market does something so stupid it takes your breath away. If you’re not ready for it, you shouldn’t be in the market. or get you a skilled practitioner.
That makes sense. I’ve been using a financial market expert for two years now and I own a six-figure diversified portfolio from investing in stocks. I want to diversify more this year, though.
I really want to get in with a financial advisor this year, especially as all markets are hitting highs. I don't want to be too optimistic and end up losing everything.
'Amber Dawn Brummit' is the licensed advisor I use. Just research the name. You’d find necessary details to work with to set up an appointment.
Thanks for sharing. I curiously searched for her full name and her website popped up immediately. I looked through her credentials and did my due diligence before contacting her.
I love how calm and encouraging Dave was in this clip.. it's almost as if he saw a younger version of himself in you. haha congrats to finally getting on the show Graham!
ah thanks!
This was a dream come true watching the two of you guys working together ! Awesome videos and I hope you guys work more together !
This is awesome
They have respectfully criticize each other for years. Both with different experiences about debt, both successful and both sticking with their principles. I love this collab.
YES! Respect even among disagreement! What a shocker in this world today! :) Love it!
First time I have ever seen DR this way. It was really nice!
True, but Dave is on his way to being a billionaire
@@MrJimmy3459 not even close
The conversation that I was waiting for!!!
Thanks Graham, it went beyond what I was expecting. Keep it up man!!!
Very Nice To see Dave Talk like this
It is so interesting to see different perspective from Kevin O’Leary and Dave. Kevin commented you should not have a heavy real estate portfolio and should diversify whereas Dave said you should focus on what you do the best: ie Real Estate.
Would be very interesting if you extended yourself into commercial real estate.
My two favorite people :)
enjoy!
so happy you got to do this Graham! this was awesome to watch!
You’ve come such a long way Graham!! I’m so thankful for each video of knowledge you’ve uploaded. I’ve been faithful to you & the algorithm since 80K subs
thanks!
Both you guys have had a huge, tangible, real life impact on my future and finances. This was great. Thanks
Damnnnn graham is balling out for sure, glad to be part of the growth
Anyone else catch Dave casually dropping the fact that he has $600M in real estate? I must’ve heard that wrong
Oh stay tuned...there's a PART 2 where I react to HIS portfolio ;)
@@GrahamStephan Ooo will do!
He also has a 100 percent stake in a company with 1200 employees, his own lol. I would say easily he’s a billionaire just based on that
My ears really perked up when I heard Dave said "paid for"
When you Google his net worth they say $200 million, so something doesn’t add up
I’m pleasantly surprised at Dave’s diplomatic way of speaking. He comes across as preachy in his show but he really knows how to talk to a person who potentially has an opposing view and just calmly speak his mind without being disagreeable.
I was kinda shocked tbh at it, amazing vid tho
His show is catered to people who can't control themselves. Specifically they can't control themselves with accumulating consumer debt.. When he gets in the room with someone who understands what's going on, this is who is usually is.
Yea this was great
Dave’s target audience is people who are financially immature. This young man is not financially immature.
@@DarinPirkey He might "think" that is his audience... but those people won't be reached by ugliness. His actual audience are people who are just as ugly-minded as him... so they can have nasty attitudes about "others". If he carried the attitude he had in this video ALL the time, he'd actually reach the people he claims he wants to reach... but his viewership would go down.
Oh my lanta, this is a good one I never watched before! Very brave of you Graham, you are not scared of criticism or different opinions.
This was so motivating to watch. Congratulations graham, you’ve worked hard and deserve all the success you’ve gotten and will get in the future. I’m sure people watching this will strive to achieve what you have achieved and we need more people like you to teach us what the school system will not.
This was fantastic Graham. it's been years since I've commented on your videos, but when I did you always made time to like and comment. That's what I love about you. You're very humble. God bless.
Brilliant, thanks for being transparent it's rare and inspiring!
Lol, I so love your video editor's work.
I edited this one myself!
@@GrahamStephan how the hell do you have the time?
Graham finally fulfilled his destiny
Power Level 9000
Over 9000!
1:10 "and I have everything mapped down on this iPad here for you to start" - Dave: hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Props to Dave for doing this!! So awesome!
Right?!
Great video. I love Ramsey so this was great to watch him doing something different
Me too!
This is also valuable perspective for those of us with negative net worth looking to just stabilize for the present/future. Great convo.
Very interesting to see how Dave is more flexible and open minded in his thinking here. He definitely tones down his usual tropes and makes them seem less dire. I guess he has a lot of faith that you’re managing the leverage well!
It's becaues he acknolweged that Graham is sophisticated. When he speaks to the masses he needs to make it very simple and very clear.
Agreed. He is for beginners. Plane and simple. And there certainly is the benefit of additional security when you reach a point and decide to permanently be debt free-even if that slows your growth down for a brief time.
"What I noticed about people that are worth more than 20 million dollars is that most of them find something they like, and then they do it a lot." ~ Dave Ramsey
Love this quote!
Dave is a good dude!
Yes stocks are pretty unstable at the moment, but if you do the right math, you should be just fine. Bloomberg and other finance media have been recording cases of folks gaining over 250k just in a matter of weeks/couple months, so I think there are alot of wealth transfer in this downtime if you know where to look.
Since the crash, I've been in the red. I’m playing the long term game, so I'm not too worried but Jim Cramer mentioned there are still a lot of great opportunities, though stocks has been down a lot. I also heard news of a guy that made $250k from about $110k since the crash and I would really look to know how to go about this.
There are actually a lot of ways to make high yields in a crisis, but such trades are best done under the supervision of Financial advisor.
@Dan Brooks Impressive can you share more info?
@Dan Brooks She appears to be well-educated and well-read. I ran a Google search on her name and came across her website; thank you for sharing.
I've been watching Graham for years and he constantly has brought up Dave Ramsey, he's the one that introduced me to Dave Ramsey and his principles. Both Graham and Dave have been inspirations for me in the financial world, and it's great to see Graham finally meet one of his heroes.
“I think your watch is worth more than you think it is” 😅 that’s great coming from Dave
