Wall Street Wildlife Investing Podcast

Post Super Bowl Sunday, Badger is hung over like a banshee but rolling in the dough nonetheless after making some choice bets. He also reports from the field about the most interesting things he saw and didn’t see in the commercials — Hint: where was crypto? (Monkey’s answer: nearing 50,000 per $BTC!) Monkey wonders about the similarities and differences between gambling and investing. One difference: understanding the fundamentals is what all successful thinkers and investors need to do. Some key principles: * Understand simple ideas deeply. * Be brutally honest about what you know and don’t know * Identify and let go of biases. * Break down complex topics—like investing—into smaller components and practice deepening your understanding of each; over time, these components merge into an integrated whole. Monkey meanwhile watched Oppenheimer and read The Maniac by Benjamin Labatut, about Johnny Von Neumann, who was called the smartest human of the 20th century, responsible for the birth of AI. But is a non-zero chance of the extinction of life worth the risk? King of the Jungle Portfolio Challenge Update: Monkey buys more Eos $EOSE and contemplates buying Enovix $ENVX because batteries and energy will be in ever-increasing demand. But is this a sunk cost fallacy, Badger wonders… All this and more from the front lines of the Investing Jungle! Tickers mentioned: $NVDA, $CRWD, $EOSE, $ENVX, $BTC, $LINK, $ETH

Explicit content warning: Badger doesn’t restrain from telling Monkey how he really feels! Monkey is getting his market ass whooped so hard, Badger calls for an official intervention! “This is what you get for timing the market!” he scolds. Does Monkey listen? Is he too far gone in his “fundamentals matter" myopia? Amidst his counterarguments, he weaves tales of tulip crazes, rampant consumerism, soaring debts, and the pitfalls of "buy now, pay later" schemes, all underpinned by a staunch "this time is no different” philosophy! Investors today are faced with a hard choice: buy at high valuations in a worsening economy, or wait patiently for the market to eventually return to fundamentals - but sitting on the sidelines could come with costs too! It’s an honest back-and-forth about the only topic that should matter to investors right now. Tickers mentioned: $CRWD Crowdstrike, $RLAY Relay Therapeutics, $NVDA Nvidia, $KRE Regional Bank ETF, and Abercrombie & Fitch $ANF. --- You can find more episodes of the podcast at wallstreetwildlife.com, and you can follow us at: X.com/7lukehallard X.com/7flyingplatypus Wall Street Wildlife is also on Instagram and Tiktok @wallstreetwildlife. --- Fed up with the stock market giving you a hard time? - Invest like seasoned pros with over 40 years in the game - Discover the world's leading companies - Sharpen your best investing practices and ditch the worst - Learn how to start investing - Essential investing principles to boost your returns --- investing in stocks for beginners, stock trading for beginners, stocks and shares for beginners, investing 101, learn how to invest, stock market for dummies

Are you tired of getting trampled in the stock market stampede? Join us for a wild ride in this episode as Monkey bares all about his market-timing blunders and the hefty price tag they came with. Dive into his thought process to sidestep these common investing pitfalls yourself. Meanwhile, Badger is snoozing soundly, his cave brimming with dollars, thanks to his steadfast belief in the "market-timing-is-impossible" mantra. Pay close attention to his philosophy for a stress-free investment journey. Ever wondered how to inside-trade without crossing the legal line? We delve into the murky waters of insider trading – a definite no-go – but then pivot to a curious observation: some elected officials seem to have a Midas touch in the market. Badger breaks down the do's and don'ts of shadowing these successful, yet legally compliant, market mavens. And now for the thrilling King of the Jungle Portfolio Challenge Update: Badger goes bullish on $IOT Samsara, revealing how their innovative software turbocharges business efficiency. Monkey, on the other hand, waves goodbye to $AEHR AEHR Test Systems. Why? Disappointing guidance in electric vehicle orders. Hear him out as he uses technical analysis to justify his exit strategy, resisting the urge to double down at lower prices. Instead, he ups the ante on $KRE puts, betting against the stability of regional banks. But what happens when you break free from the sunk-cost fallacy? Badger puts this to Monkey, leading to a fascinating turn: Monkey's potential reinvestment in $TSLA, eyeing it as a prime example of a top-tier company with a fairly reasonable valuation. Don't miss out on these electrifying insights and strategies – it's a jungle out there, but we're here to guide you through!

"I think that there's a whole swath of current people investing that are going to get wiped out. They will get wiped out because they have never experienced emotionally, psychologically down markets. It is absolutely brutal to wake up, look at your screen and see red day after day after day after week. I don't think most investors today have any idea what that feels like." ~MrNotAdvice We do not want to scare our listeners, but being a savvy investor requires being aware of the risks and not turning away from the data, for better or worse. And we have plenty of data to share with you. Our resident vulture, MrNotAdvice, walks us down memory lane, recalling what caused the 2008 financial crisis, and the reasons why the current economic crises -- or dominoes -- or doomsday scenarios-- might trigger an even more brutal market downturn. On the back of Episode 10's overview of the commercial real estate crisis and Japan's dire economic situation which won't bode well for US treasury values and the impact those will have on interest rates, we also discuss a lack of growth outside of federal stimulus. The expanding war in the Middle East and increasing geopolitical risks. Since timing matters, and timing the market is hard, how should investors assess their risk profiles? What ought we do in the face of several highly impactful economic scenarios like these? One answer is to raise cash and treat it as a position, a strategy MrNotAdvice explores in greater depth. And did we mention aliens... The aliens are coming! The aliens are coming! 👽 And you thought investing was nothing but spreadsheets! Follow us on X: @7lukehallard @7flyingplatypus @MrNotAdvice

Bitcoin #BTC — aka digital gold — was approved last week to be traded as ETFs, causing much celebration from investors who now have an easier time owning it. But all that glitters might not be gold, says our guest Vulture, aka @MrNotAdvice. If you care about free markets, their manipulation, and are concerned about Bitcoin losing some of its purity and philosophical principles, this episode is for you. Life in the investing jungle can be red in tooth and claw! So we also asked Mr. Not Advice to elaborate on his most likely and impactful doomsday scenarios which, if they came to pass, would be devastating to the stock market. Warning: this episode is not for the easily spooked investor, but for those who can handle looking at high-risk scenarios! Hint: commercial real estate is not looking so hot, and the banks who own lots of those loans are in trouble. But with Japan as our ally, they’ll continue to buy US debt, helping to keep interest rates from rising again, right? Oh boy, if Doom is what you want, this Doomsday Episode is what you need. Oh - and if you want to know how to protect yourself from the coming financial apocalypse, we share a bunch of preventative measures you can take to avoid the worst of the potential collapse. --- You can find more episodes of the podcast at wallstreetwildlife.com, and you can follow us at: X.com/7lukehallard X.com/7flyingplatypus Wall Street Wildlife is also on Instagram and Tiktok @wallstreetwildlife. --- Fed up with the stock market giving you a hard time? - Invest like seasoned pros with over 40 years in the game - Discover the world's leading companies - Sharpen your best investing practices and ditch the worst - Learn how to start investing - Essential investing principles to boost your returns --- investing in stocks for beginners, stock trading for beginners, stocks and shares for beginners, investing 101, learn how to invest, stock market for dummies

#BTC Why is the #bitcoinETF approval such a big deal? Do you worry about inflation? Does it matter to you that the biggest barriers to investing in bitcoin are now removed? And that it does gold’s job, but better? Badger and Monkey discuss the BIG DEAL that is Bitcoin + ETF. --- You can find more episodes of the podcast at wallstreetwildlife.com, and you can follow us at: X.com/7lukehallard X.com/7flyingplatypus Wall Street Wildlife is also on Instagram and Tiktok @wallstreetwildlife. --- Fed up with the stock market giving you a hard time? - Invest like seasoned pros with over 40 years in the game - Discover the world's leading companies - Sharpen your best investing practices and ditch the worst - Learn how to start investing - Essential investing principles to boost your returns --- investing in stocks for beginners, stock trading for beginners, stocks and shares for beginners, investing 101, learn how to invest, stock market for dummies

$RKLB Monkey loves @RocketLab as the best alternative to investing in SpaceX .So for the King of the Jungle Investing Challenge he bought some Feb '24 $7 call options. Was this a reckless bet? Can Luke maintain his composure in the face of Monkey's shenanigans, like the Badger ninja he is? There's also an extremely important lesson here about ODTE options. Hint: DON'T.

The new year is an opportunity to weed out old habits that prevent us from being the best beastly versions of ourselves and the best investors we can be — the two are often intertwined! Badger starts his resolutions by committing himself to increasing the concentration of his portfolio while Monkey aims to undertake fewer projects and to go deeper into the ones he’s most excited about. Slowing down, and doing less is often more, both in life and in investing, so we both commit to being more like turtles. 🐢 Monkey feels distracted by too much screen time, a problem Badger is familiar with — though the thought of less technology gives him the howling fantods it seems! Simplify! Simplify! Simplify! This is the order of the day, both for short and long-term investors. How simple can you make your own processes? And of course, Monkey speaks some philosophy, and his renewed commitment to saying “is that so?”, an old Zen saying that comes in handy, especially when everyone around you is often wrong and knuckleheaded. --- You can find more episodes of the podcast at wallstreetwildlife.com, and you can follow us at: X.com/7lukehallard X.com/7flyingplatypus Wall Street Wildlife is also on Instagram and Tiktok @wallstreetwildlife. --- Fed up with the stock market giving you a hard time? - Invest like seasoned pros with over 40 years in the game - Discover the world's leading companies - Sharpen your best investing practices and ditch the worst - Learn how to start investing - Essential investing principles to boost your returns --- investing in stocks for beginners, stock trading for beginners, stocks and shares for beginners, investing 101, learn how to invest, stock market for dummies

$AAPL Not every great company makes a great investment. What are the reasons to think #Apple will provide market-beating returns from its current market cap of nearly 3 TRILLION? Monkey -- a life-long Apple believer, and Badger, a life-long Apple naysayer, duke it out. 1) #VisionPro: Apple can create new categories 2) #ArtificialInteligence: Apple won't sit on the sidelines BUT: 3) How many people with a new iPhone -- that works stupendously well -- will keep upgrading at $1,500 a pop?

Jungle investing life is unpredictable, but your hosts Luke “The Badger” Hallard and Krzysztof “Monkey” Piekarski, Lead Advisors at www.7investing.com are feeling especially clairvoyant this year. 🔮 Gather ‘round, wallstreetwildlife friends and furry critters, pour some warm libations— perhaps a banana flavored brandy?— and hear about all the things that have yet come to pass. We predict the future regarding interest rates, black swans, tech booms and busts, Bitcoin price at year-end, the tech companies with the most moment and those who might have climbed a branch too high. Warning: Badger drank too much egg-nog before recording, so his outlook gets a bit dark at times, even out-Bearing resident Bear-Monkey!
