Wall Street Wildlife Investing Podcast

In Episode 25, Luke reflects on his magnum-opus 50-day portfolio review on X, including selling $AMZN “too early” to buy a couple of cars. We debate whether that was a mistake or using money appropriately to live fully? https://twitter.com/7LukeHallard/status/1781627421243908513 Monkey wonders how Luke got through 2008 beating the market by double-digits: was it luck in owning $ISRG at the right time, or an aggressive risk profile appropriate for life-stage and life circumstances? How to Beat the Market Principle 2: Look for founder-led companies like Tesla's $TSLA Elon Musk, Crowdstrike’s $CRWD George Kurtz and Apple's $AAPL Steve Jobs. What does founder-led mean and why does that matter? Tesla earnings results included the promise of a lower-price-point entry car and a cross-roads for investors according to Musk: "Only invest in Tesla if you believe we can solve autonomy" -- is this a fair claim to make? Tesla also made vital regulatory progress in China in terms of autonomous driving which was enough for Monkey to add it to his King of the Jungle portfolio; we review and look back on our strategies and how they've played out thus far, six months into the contest. --- A humble request to all our listeners: please leave us a review on Apple or Spotify if our Wall Street Wildlife episodes have helped you become a better investor.

This week's podcast is a repost from the 7investing podcast feed, where Luke & Krzysztof are Lead Advisors. --- If you’ve ever travelled abroad or tried to send money across international borders, hidden fees and unfair exchange rates have no doubt been a massive and expensive headache. In this week's episode of the 7investing podcast, Lead Advisors Luke Hallard & Krzysztof Piekarski sit down with Rina Wulfing, Senior Manager for the North American policy team at Wise ($WIZEY) to discuss the company's original founding story and mission: to empower its users with a transparent system that sends money cost effectively and instantly across borders. We discuss junk fees — what they are and how Wise is working with regulatory agencies to limit their adverse impact on customers. We also discuss why direct access to US banking systems is limited to certain types of financial institution, and why this hits US consumers and businesses (and visitors!) in the pocket. If you ever travel internationally, or are looking to upgrade your legacy banking arrangements, today's episode is a must listen conversation that will give you better insight into the finance industry, and will save you money!

The wildlife are getting restless - Badger’s motorcycle has been stolen! He's making up the cost by ensuring he's invested in the world's greatest companies, and in today's episode, we discuss the first of his investing desirables: does the company align with powerful trends that are shaping the future? Are ethics and doing good for the world part of that requirement? How does a company like Nvidia $NVDA compare with Celsius $CELH or Lululemon $LULU? Monkey meanwhile urges caution about investing in AI for social, cultural and potentially revolutionary reasons. Does Tesla’s moves to drop the price of its Full Self Driving (FSD) software suggest visionary brilliance from Elon Musk’s chess game against regulatory pressures, is it more of a marketing strategy or a way to collect more data to widen the company’s lead in self-driving data? Or is it simply a cash grab to juice the top line?! We’re living in uncertain times that are changing ever more rapidly and we need to keep cautious about all our predictions.

Is fear stopping you from investing and building your wealth? Investing is risky and fear-inducing, but is also one of the most direct paths to living the life you want. There are many obstacles, one of the biggest of which is fear. On today’s special Owl’s Nest episode, we define fear and suggest ways to become more intimate with it. Badger and Monkey discuss the merits and drawbacks of paper trading: is it a useful tool or does it offer false security? How do poker players and motorcycle enthusiasts train with fear? What does equanimity mean and how can we cultivate this classic virtue? When we’re not in control, how can we reframe the bad-beats life throws our way? The art of mastering yourself is fundamental to investing success. And it all starts with understanding and conquering fear. --- 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

Before returning to the UK, Badger paid his pal Monkey a visit in Austin. Shenanigans ensued, including, but not limited to: A trip to the Apple $AAPL store to try the Vision Pro headset. Was the demo experience enough to convince Luke to drop Android and buy into Apple’s metaverse aspirations? Since the Wise $WIZEY Austin headquarters were nearby, we were graciously able to take a tour of the company’s new digs. You’ll hear more about Wise in an upcoming episode, but we do examine a tried and true (?) Peter Lynchian principle: invest in what you know. Tesla $TSLA released their delivery numbers and they weren’t pretty. We discuss how to think about Tesla's short-term pain, while still having the potential to become the world’s largest company. The ambivalence of forces at play reminded Monkey of Nvidia $NVDA after a shortfall in revenue that was crypto-related. Those who took advantage profited wildly. Is more caution warranted with Tesla at the moment? Before flying home, Monkey and Mrs. Monkey played a few hours of poker with the Badger. We recorded the footage and analyze the big hand.

Monkey badgers Badger about his portfolio review and the insights he's gained thus far. Why did he invest in Sea Limited $SE? What metrics about Cloudflare $NET are giving him pause? Would he buy more now if he didn't own any already? How did knowing Wise as a customer influence his confidence in being a shareholder? $WIZEY “Money won is ten times sweeter than money earned.” Is investing successfully like winning money from the casino that is “the market”? Monkey claims we're already cyborgs with our phones glued to our hands and head. Elon Musk moves this sci-fi trajectory further along with his company Neuralink recently enabling a paralyzed person to play chess using only their mind. Check out waitbutwhy.com's deep dive on Neuralink's foundations and how the brain works and the literal mind-altering future for human consciousness. As though AI wasn't enough. The King of the Jungle portfolio challenge Update: Badger buys $ZS on the strength of the cybersecurity megatrend, while Monkey preaches patience. Worth noting Badger's claim that there's little chance of Monkey catching up to him by the first of November...Any requests for Badger's upcoming trip to the jungles of Austin to pay off his whiskey debt?

Investing that will make you wealthy is as much about your own psychology as it is about the companies you invest in. If you skip the “know thyself” step, you will make terrible mistakes that could have been avoided. Do you think you’re smarter than everyone else? Do you invest for the short or long term? Is your portfolio resilient? Are you susceptible to FOMO? Krzysztof “Monkey” Piekarski and Luke “The Badger” Hallard have not only had great success as investors over 40+ years, but we have also made all the mistakes so you don’t have to.

Is AI a sustainable investing trend? Should AI ethics matter for investors? The newly crowned Best Picture, Oppenheimer, alerts us about how humanity's obsession with science made blowing up the world a non-zero reality. Nvidia $NVDA is a company enabling the next great revolution in technology, but is it too much too quickly? We discuss whether it has gotten too far ahead of itself in terms of capacities, ethics, and market cap, and why Krzysztof sold his position. What’s an essential process to improve your investing gains? Luke discusses his 50-day portfolio review, why he started it, what it entails, and what he's learned so far. Professional investors know what they're doing and why and continually reflect on the process itself. Luke shares his model -- find his updates @wallstreetwildlife on Instagram. What's one of the most robust investing mega-trends of the past decade, with no signs of slowing down? Luke discusses the new SEC law that forces companies to report cybersecurity data breaches within four days, and how ruthless cyber terrorists are more than happy to help the SEC police the new law. $CRWD, $PANW and $S are all companies that are benefitting. Identifying and understanding this kind of megatrend can lead to outstanding investing gains over many years. Books discussed: The MANIAC by Benjamin Labatut about the birth of the modern computer, the atomic bomb, and AlphaGo, the AI program that defeated the world's best Go player eight years ago today, and the limitations of current LLM models. #AI #Cybersecurity --- 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

Is Google $GOOGL a bear, a bull or a dodo? Badger buys more, Monkey screeches Be Careful! Meta $META was in a similar position not too long ago, but it has an impenetrable social network moat. Can the same thing be said of Google’s data in a time of AI with companies building language models from the ground up and redefining search? Monkey explains this quandary is what the “too hard bucket” is for, whereas Badger remains confident in his fundamental understanding of the business. We also answer a 7investing discord member who wonders whether allocating a majority of his portfolio to four companies is too concentrated. The devil is in the details and the answer is not so simple. Remember, cash is a position, too, and it’s hard to become wealthy, but also hard to stay that way. Badger’s skiing season is being funded by some unsuspecting poor Lake Tahoe poker players. Should Monkey be worried about his upcoming visit to Austin’s card rooms? Want to become a better investor?
