Holy shit, I can’t believe I haven’t thought of going to the bank and saying “10x my money”, then using that to buy real estate. Thanks grant cardone, you’ve changed my life 👍
Jesus Christ, you're all so stupid. There is an obvious exploit here. You take your money to a bank and ask them to 10x it. Then you take the 10x amount and go to another bank and ask them to 10x it again. Then you take your 10x10x amount and go to another bank and ask them to 10x it... You get the idea. Why would you even bother buying real estate? Just do this until you run out of banks.
Makes you wonder if the dad or uncle or whoever was jealous of all the people they're competing with who have a degree. Maybe dad got nervous about having to pay for college or wants the kid to move out sooner.
@@Excalibur2 Education inflation has made the average IQ of people going into college the population average in the US. It is just signaling which should seem rather obvious since completing 99% of a degree won't get you 99% of the influence a degree will.

Actually, yeah. Child acting. My high school English teacher did some acting as a toddler for one of those children’s shows. His parents invested that money. By the time he was in college, he had his first car all bought and paid for. Not for everyone though.
When I was 18, I learned how to sell cars by watching a Grant Cardone sales course at the dealership I worked at. I learned quickly that his techniques were trash (no basis in reality) It's incredible to see how his swindle has progressed over time with more 0's on the end. Pretty crazy how effective bullshit can be when you say it with such conviction and confidence. Now that I'm older, I can see right through it, but as a kid he definitely had me drinking the cool-aid. Keep up the great work and spreading REAL knowledge!
I hate the infinite banking nonsense. Imagine how stupid it would sound if someone said "I took out a $90k HELOC out against my $100k home. Now I have $190k net worth, because it's still my home, I just borrowed against it." Like, no, you don't, my dude. You have a callable debt that can leave you homeless.
@@LordFluffingtonsaccording to my calculations (🤓), 500k growing a few thousand a week (assuming that is 3500), would mean close to 40% a year. Don’t think you will get that from dividends. The few thousand a month is more reasonable and would (I think) be a bit under 9% a year (still assuming 3.5k a month). I know it’s being withdrawn and not left in to grow, but the market wouldn’t care right? also disclaimer my calculations are a bit rough. A rate of 9% a year is a bit much to expect of dividend stocks, they wouldn’t be very stable to achieve that. edit: acknowledging that you said might, and weren’t overconfidently asserting your numbers and strategy.
It’s supposed to be “I own a home worth $100k, I took out an $80k HELOC, put down $20k on another 3 properties worth $100k each and rent them out to pay them off” but usually they spend it lol
The worship of education is pretty bizarre given everyone has experience learning things way quicker than they have in a school course, forgetting things they don't use, so why waste the time in the first place, etc. But people who weren't already inclined to skip school to do something would waste their time anyway

The best example of someone who found a get rich quick method and didn't tell anyone is Jim Simons who started the Renaissance Technologies hedge fund which is the best performing hedge fund of all time. Most of the employees don't leave since it's so profitable and no one knows how they make money since they're very secretive. Simons is worth over 20 billion dollars and I don't think he's trying to peddle any courses on TikTok.
Just a quick thank you for doing the real returns after inflation correctly. I've seen so often that people just subtract 2.5% inflation from 10% nominal gains to arrive at 7.5% gains and it drives me up the wall.
You need to look at how many dollars you end up with times purchasing power per dollar so (1+rate of return)/(1+rate of inflation) Subtracting inflation from return arrived at similar numbers but just doesn't make sense "mechanically"
@@andrewsimmons989he’s tired from running, why spend all that time on a driver’s license? If you do you are already behind all of my fellow rising grindees
Sure the kids a dweeb but why can’t we collectively admit college is a business? I did not need 4 years of college to be an accountant. 1.5 years max to learn my debits and credits. But admittedly I didn’t go to a nice college
@@dirtydan6098 You don't need a 4 year degree to learn how to be an accountant but no one is gonna hire anyone to be an accountant without a 4 year degree in a relevant major. Are you going to start your own accounting company at 18? If so, who in their right mind is going to hire you fresh out of HS to do their books except close family? College is more than just learning, it's a stamp of approval that you are someone worth taking a chance on when hiring. Without it, the employer is taking an even bigger risk that you won't work out.
I let an insurance salesman talk us into a whole/term policy. Had it for about 20 years. The term served its purpose and we got rid of it when we no longer needed to hedge against possible death (financially speaking). But in the end the whole policy was essentially just a forced-savings plan at the rate of inflation. We just roughly got our money back from the whole premiums. We could have invested those premiums in the market and made a *LOT* more money. Whole might be good if you really just want to move cash from one place to another and not have a huge tax bill for your heirs. That assumes you have cash in excess of what you spend and save and invest (most people don't). For the typical saver, my advice is just get term when you're young and drop it when you no longer need it. Skip the whole insurance and invest elsewhere.
That 15:00 minute gem of truth about compound interest vs real returns due to inflation /taxes, hurt my soul but is very true and VERY VERY few people talk about it in this space. Just compound interest bro, you will get rich.
Plenty of college degrees aren't worth the printer ink they wasted. But STEM degrees are good. Soon enough though degrees will only be afforded by people in the 1 percent or those lucky enough to get a scholarship. The price of a degree at "accredited" universities is exponentially climbing.
@@Madchris8828 My college degree was a huge differentiator in getting the jobs I was able to get back when I first started working fresh out of school, despite not being s STEM degree. Note that it was like 10ish years ago (I'm old). The marketplace may very well be different now, but the point I was making is a 12 year-old TikToker knows literally nothing about this (even if they happen to be right).
@@Madchris8828I would tap back a bit as I do know people with Arts/English/Foreign Lang/Social Sciences/Business degrees that are making plenty of money. The issue is drive and knowing what to do with your degree. Also going to an accredited and *respected* college helps quite a bit. At the end of the day having a degree just doesn't automatically mean you get a good job.
With the college thing… I don’t know how it is in the US and Canada but in a lot of German speaking countries there’s something we call HTL (höhere technische Lehranstalt, basically a vocational school) that people can attend for specialized education in a specific career. It’s an alternate education path that starts from 9th grade. I know a few people that have taken that path and while they aren’t as academic or as broad in their knowledge, they tend to be insanely knowledgeable in their specific field. They also enter the workforce much earlier and earn pretty well. Really wouldn’t recommend it for everyone though, because 15-16 is really young to decide on a career.
In wealth management we always tell people not to buy whole life or annuities until they max out their 401k and ROTH back door. Seeing these financial TikTok’s now a days telling everyday people who can barely save a penny to buy annuities and life insurance tell them that 401k is a scam is one of the biggest misinformation I’ve ever seen.
Thoroughly enjoyed this video as "Sandy Claws", everything from the embarrassed entrance to the tik tok examples. My favourite one is the "bros" high-fiving each other because they're saying "bigger" numbers. It really is like that and people believe that crap. I guess we all have our Achilles heel. I'm glad you explained about the insurance contracts.
Thank you for tackling “Infinite Banking” and how it doesn’t work, at least not like some say. It’s not a great plan, and just benefits the insurance company.
Thanks for the content this year.

It would help put the content in the right context expeciallg as your library continues to grow. I hope this comment is taken in the manner with which it was shared, thanks!

What I like best about your videos is that you can be fun and entertaining, yet you still have serious investment advice that is spot on!!! 🎉😂 Merry Christmas to you and the Bagel family! You are definitely on the "nice" list! 😊 By the way, you do make a better Santa sans beard and mustache!
Thank you Richard for exposing these grifters. It's helpful for the naive people that come across those tiktoks and buy into their garbage content. The one exception is Mikey Taylor which knows his stuff.
The last guy you talk about is a really great pro skater named Mikey Taylor. I remember seeing him start making this kind of content a couple of years ago and initially thinking he'd gone insane, but the more I looked into it I realized he was just passing on sound advice he wished he'd learned when he first started making money as a skater when he was so young. Even if he's mistaken about a few things, it's cool to see him level-headed about his finances when so many young athletes blow all of their earnings before they know how to be responsible with it.
Took me all of 10 seconds to like this video. Love this series. Can't wait for Richard dressing as the Easter bunny for the "Investing Analyst reacts to Investing Tiktoks - Easter Special" lmao
Fantastic video and truly insightful content as always! As someone who has transitioned from being an investment advisor to now consulting on insurance for investment managers, I couldn't help but notice a few nuances in the life insurance discussion that might benefit from further exploration. Your deep financial knowledge is evident, and I believe a brief, bird's-eye view discussion could mutually enhance our understanding of this complex topic. I'd love the opportunity to share insights and learn from your perspective as well
In my direct investing portfolio I got 34% YTD.A bit risky in terms of hedging but no "AI" stocks or crypto or anything too volatile. I would argue that should I have had enough money to invest, that stock investing can make you rich in the long run. Bar that, you can still make a decent return overall; got 13% on ETFs and I am happy with that
It's not that there aren't investments out there that can make 34%. The problem is that anything that can give you that type of return will be HIGHLY RISKY. Yes, you can hit it out of the park one year. But the next year it can go to zero. A diversified equity basket can go up and down, but not to zero. It's about risk versus return.
@@dennisd9554 oh, absolutely. I got 34% average this year across the direct invest portfolio (as in where I pick the stocks directly rather than when I pick a fund which is diversified but not by myself; I don't do calls and shorts and the like as I lack the expertise). In this "direct invest" I have stocks that are 63% down, and some at 226% up... but those are the extremes. I have just looked it now and the total growth over last 3 years was 67% (despite getting my ass kicked last year) so I am pretty chuffed with that
Any chance we can have a video (or videos) about startups? The funding stages, VCs, how can people even get financial information about startups, are their ways to easily invest in startups?
Idk why people mess around with stocks and jobs when you can just go to a bank and say "yo 10x my money" and they just do it no problem.
simple math - 10x zero is still zero!

What I like best about your videos is that you can be fun and entertaining, yet you still have serious investment advice that is spot on!!! 🎉😂 Merry Christmas to you and the Bagel family! You are definitely on the "nice" list! 😊 By the way, you do make a better Santa sans beard and mustache!
The Inception WAAAAAH at the start is hilarious :D
The second video is actually so silly, what made him think no one would notice he's trading a replay and not the live market😂🤣🤣🤣
Thank you Richard for exposing these grifters. It's helpful for the naive people that come across those tiktoks and buy into their garbage content. The one exception is Mikey Taylor which knows his stuff.
you are one responsible person.
Grateful for the holiday special
Plain bagel is the man. Merry Christmas
The last guy you talk about is a really great pro skater named Mikey Taylor. I remember seeing him start making this kind of content a couple of years ago and initially thinking he'd gone insane, but the more I looked into it I realized he was just passing on sound advice he wished he'd learned when he first started making money as a skater when he was so young. Even if he's mistaken about a few things, it's cool to see him level-headed about his finances when so many young athletes blow all of their earnings before they know how to be responsible with it.
Tik Tok is the epitome of fast paced and regularly changing information. Investing is by nature a long term money maker
The music choices of these tiktokers gets me every time
Took me all of 10 seconds to like this video.
Love this series.
Can't wait for Richard dressing as the Easter bunny for the "Investing Analyst reacts to Investing Tiktoks - Easter Special" lmao
I love these reaction videos, please do more!
Fantastic video and truly insightful content as always! As someone who has transitioned from being an investment advisor to now consulting on insurance for investment managers, I couldn't help but notice a few nuances in the life insurance discussion that might benefit from further exploration. Your deep financial knowledge is evident, and I believe a brief, bird's-eye view discussion could mutually enhance our understanding of this complex topic. I'd love the opportunity to share insights and learn from your perspective as well
Great video.
The 8 commercial breaks weren’t so cool, though. Haha.
Love it. favourite informative channel
Your humor in this video made me laugh a little too much 🤣🤶🏼
Here so early that NFTs are still a thing
Truly an investment that'll end as well as Germany invading the USSR 🤫🤣.
Thanks for the laughs, keep up coming.
that sudden sound change when you entered with santa clause dress 🤣🤣🤣
Gold as per usual. Happy New Year!
In my direct investing portfolio I got 34% YTD.A bit risky in terms of hedging but no "AI" stocks or crypto or anything too volatile. I would argue that should I have had enough money to invest, that stock investing can make you rich in the long run. Bar that, you can still make a decent return overall; got 13% on ETFs and I am happy with that
It's not that there aren't investments out there that can make 34%. The problem is that anything that can give you that type of return will be HIGHLY RISKY. Yes, you can hit it out of the park one year. But the next year it can go to zero. A diversified equity basket can go up and down, but not to zero. It's about risk versus return.
@@dennisd9554 oh, absolutely. I got 34% average this year across the direct invest portfolio (as in where I pick the stocks directly rather than when I pick a fund which is diversified but not by myself; I don't do calls and shorts and the like as I lack the expertise). In this "direct invest" I have stocks that are 63% down, and some at 226% up... but those are the extremes. I have just looked it now and the total growth over last 3 years was 67% (despite getting my ass kicked last year) so I am pretty chuffed with that
Well. My portfolio has made 30% in 6 months. But I've done this long enough that I Know(tm) better. And I also remember all those red months.
Finally someone runs the numbers
Plain bagel becomes plain milk and cookie. Hahaha Merry Christmas my friend
My favorite thing about the Discord one is he says "I'm going to tell my discord" when most of the gains had already occurred lol
I’ve never even had a plain bagel but I sure do like this one
Thank you for bringing these videos to our attention. Very helpful and insightful, I will now make sure to apply for refund of my college fee😊
My favorite videos
I miss this type of content
Best series one could create. Thank you.
Here for the Richard Claus content!
Any chance we can have a video (or videos) about startups? The funding stages, VCs, how can people even get financial information about startups, are their ways to easily invest in startups?
