Shout out to Graham, Kevin, Andre, and Jeremy for deleting the entire catalogue of the Millenial Money Podcast after they promoted FTX hundreds of times on it. No Acknowledgment, no apologies, just pretended it never happened. Sheer grifters.
their entire lives will be spent constantly looking over their shoulders. All it takes is the wrong or right person to recognize them wherever they are
"That's the mothereffer who told me that coin was a sure thing because they were so heavily invested in the coin"
Now I agree with Asmongold, fools and their money are soon separated, but that doesn't mean I am going to lose any sleep when these thieves end up in a basement with someone else and their blowtorch.
I was wondering what happened to those episodes
The issue: if it was just Yotta people would think okay nobody is perfect. But almost everything they promoted was a bust. They just wanted the money and views and no DD was done. Andreis NFT and shitcoins were a 90% loss. He was still making blockfi videos after other exchanges went under. Meet kevin covered so many stocks that are down huge, Graham saying too risky to buy a house vs renting but then shills FTX. Basically what the shirtless guy in this video was saying back in 2021 on his channel. Established titles was also scummy. Cathie woods is also a horrible investor yet she makes millions a year to manage (lose) people's money. The whole finance space is gross.
@@heavyhebrew I'm pretty sure they never said to invest into a specific coin as that would break ftc guidelines on being an actual financial advisor. If you don't know a person should not advise anything specific as it opens them to a lawsuit as said person did not have the financial information of the individual. This is the reason they say they're not a financial advisor as there a bunch of legality assoisated. FTX is probably a bad example as the bankruptcy ended up as an 18% gain for people who used the platform which is crazy as normally bankruptcy will normally mean almost total loss.
@@kennyadvocat taking a paid sponsor is not the same as promoting.
I like how scam artists rebranded to "influencers". These guys existed before the internet.
They just got smarter, da circle of life, to fool the dummy to feed the rest
I agree most of them are scam artists. What you want is someone who has what is known as a fiduciary duty whom you pay who has a degree belongs to an association and has a reputation to protect and a career to safeguard. So they have something to lose if they cheat and are scammers.
@@ANGRYWOLVERINE2060-ft2nc yep
@@ANGRYWOLVERINE2060-ft2nc Even then people find a way around that. What you want is the ability to think for yourself. You also need to spend a lot of time studying what you want to know. The biggest reason why people get scammed is that they don't put in the necessary work to research what they are doing.
Instead of watching one 10 minute video, you need to spend a couple hundred hours studying and an equal amount of time critically thinking about what you studied.
@@emansgaming910 Its just the reach, amplified via algorithms.
My assumptions; if an influencer tries to convince you to buy crypto, it's because he wants to raise the value before selling his.
@@DonCDXX this
I mean the early adopters of pre 2017 are the only ones actually benefiting from crypto.
My only advice is to buy crypto when you have funds you’re okay to lose. $100 into bitcoin, then forget about it for the next 10 years.
@@robster7787 the very essence of a MLM 🤣
Well.. there is someone promoting just about every crypto out there..
That should be the assumption when anybody tells you to buy crypto :')
I have to disagree with asmon about "its not the influencers fault". If you looked into Yotta for 1 minute, it was advertised as a "can't lose lottery bank". So yes, it is 100% their fault for grifting a bad product, at least for Yotta.
Exactly. This take by Asmon shows he clearly is hiding something or plans to grift bad products. Hes not STUPID his words were chosen wisely and those words expose malice.
Markiplier who has been a CZcamsr for over a decade and has taken atp at least over 50 sponsor deals over his career from different brands did not catch onto yotta, the sheer experience behind mark being unable to catch onto yotta exculpates the rest. I do agree that graham and them are dickheads and have done shit like this knowingly before but whether they knew or not about this banking thing is pretty much unprovable with someone like mark falling for it as well
If CZcams had a system where you could give videos “negative upvotes” the general public might be safer from bad financial advice...
...mmm hey you might be onto something here
Even adding the extension to re-add the dislikes is still extremely disingenuous now since CZcams still tracks dislikes and that is why the extension works but almost everyone who doesn’t use it think it is useless so they don’t dislike the videos giving them a higher like ratio.
What about a Community Notes system, like X/Twitter?
It's wild they removed the dislikes over joe biden in 2020 lol
That would fix so much.. not just the scammers.
Because they are getting rich using the same methods scammers have used since the 80’s. “Buy my books”. “Subscribe to my course”. I really don’t know why people fall for this crap.
Desperation homie...that's how!
Desperation and lack of understanding, encouraged in the education system.
There are a lot of new suckers out there every year, who haven't been around since the 80s.
I remember chicks trying to sell me Herbalife in the 90's
@@whenpigsfly8178 i seriously don't understand how you're blaming the education system when people aren't just smart enough in general.
every public schools teach you critical thinking. every single one. basic financial literacy like ponzi schemes is introduced in goddamn middle school.
We owe the victims of scams for being the one who took the bait instead of us. Much respect.
They're beta testing everything for us
This.
No, they are the ones that keep the scammers around. If there were no stupid people falling for scams, there wouldn't be scammers.
On the other hand...if scammers didn't have such an easy time scamming, maybe they would put more effort in making them more dangerous? Hmmm... maybe you are right, you don't have to be good at not getting scammed, just better than enough other people that it's not worth it to scam you.
It’s worth remembering that shady salespeople are literally who run the entire earth. They are the most OP character class and they operate without moral constraint

Oh man, that's all they do. It's when market drops a lot is when you see the real traders. These fake traders, ask them about geopolitics, weather, ceo being replaced, etc and how it affects the company. Gonna bet they will answer that's macro and it's irrelevant, aka to lazy to research a company.

Well the idea is that they influence your day to day life
lmfao...
Checkmate.
The day will come when you will have A LOT of money. 😏
Yup. People can't use you if you are useless.
The only investment advice that applies to the vast majority of people is: put your investment savings in a low-fee index fund. Active investing is a profession; if you're not in it, don't worry about it. No one should be paid for saying this.
Also, live below your means
Nah
Well said. Track the s&p 500 with an etf, retirement done. Get rid of social security for all those except for who actually really need it
Be born with rich family or in or near a reach neighborhood and network.
Or do crazy viral stuff in the interwebs.
@@wahahabuh Re: living below one's means-true, although that's pre-investment since investment presupposes having money to invest. But yeah, positive cashflow is pretty darn fundamental.
Social media revived the "snake oil" market
And CZcams videos and ads❗️
It all goes down to laziness. It's easier to just trust some service than do extra steps to ensure you don't get scammed. Convenience is trap.
How exactly is one supposed to do the right step on their own if they didn't have parents that showed them how to properly invest?
Graham is part owner of that bank not a bank technically so yes he’s more guilty with that than randoms who took a shady sponsor deal.
Yeah, his part in the whole dispute is bigger because he invested and promoted it. He didn't just take a sponsorship on the product for his channel but went above and beyond to invest in the product as well. Which he should be held to a higher standard because of that to his audience.
So... part owner because he bought stock? Or part owner as in he helped run the company and made decisions that led to the failure? Also, seems like he lost more than the people that watched his videos if he bought into the company itself since it is failing... (keep in mind I have never watched his videos or care about him in any way)
@@hulkslayer626 he ran a video he since deleted ofcourse and it started hey guys I just bought a bank well not a physical bank let me tell you all about it and why it’s such an amazing thing. Him making or not making money doesn’t really mean much at the end of the day. He also lied and mis represented what it was as a business he portrayed it as a bank when it’s merely a middle man to a bank meaning when the inevitable happens the people have zero recourse. Absolute scam through and through.
@@hulkslayer626 he made a video called "i bought a bank"
@@Chickenfriedpenguin I know. I saw the clips in the Coffeezills video. But what I gathered was he bought shares in the company after it was established and running, right? He didn't help found it. He didn't help run it. He wasn't a CEO who made the decisions that led to the downfall. He just purchased shares and stock because he thought, like a lot of others, that it was going places. So he got screwed even more than his viewers. Also, I got the general impression that it wasn't an actual "Scam". There is an issue with 2 of the subsidies that are arguing back and forth about transactions. It wasn't a "pump and dump" or anything. Am I wrong about that? If so, specifically which part? Thank you in advance for any insight.
The most hilarious egg in face with the FTX scandal was Kevin O'Leary. You know, the guy from Shark Tank? One of the big names in finance got scammed.
Kevin didn't get scammed, Kevin got paid. Kevin was part of the scamming team.
Lots of people were taken in by that FTX dude. Lots of politicians, too
You get burned playing with fire
That gets me every time. Shark got scammed.
He's not a big guy in finance, only in finance media
One thing I noticed is that a lot of these guys got rich during the 2008 financial crises. They basically made bank because tons of people lost their homes. This made them think they were geniuses. Most are just grifters who were at the right place at the right time and got lucky, so of course it ends badly like this.
They are really no different than those late nightly 12am to 6am TV info commercials in the 80s and early 90s.
Don't assume they have any money.
Yeah they all "started with real estate" and got into it "a few years ago."
"Anyone who is more successful than me definitely got there cause they were lucky"
I'm sure the world will recognize your genius someday guys. Keep coping
"Lucky to be in the right place at the right time" is cope.
Can a GPS give good advice? Yes. Can a GPS give bad advice? Yes. You just have to be able to differentiate the good advice from the advice where the GPS is having you drive into a lake. This isn't any different.

The advice most people needa follow the most sadly
that's all he really can give to people who are so far down in debt that they literally cannot do anything else with their money other than to pay off their credit cards 😭 his videos really does get repetitive

Year, sure. Finfluencers are not legally held accountable to meet their fiduciary duties. Go hire a proper financial analyst.
There was a finance guru teach bosses to do business, his past business history is all failure, the most successful business is how he taught people to be a better boss.

There's a reason why the law states you cannot broadcast medical, legal, or financial advice _without a corresponding license_ to go with those specific topics.
Its only illegal to give financial advice if you have insider information and its only illegal to give medical/legal advice if you are acting like you are a certified professional on the subject.
It's only illegal to charge money for financial advice. You can go out of your way and tell anybody anything you want but if you want to charge them money you have to have a license.
This is technically not correct, as the other commenters have pointed out
Probably wouldn't be bad if it were illegal. Can't tell you how many times I've been like "Hey I've settled 400 cases directly on this issue as a licensed professional I can tell you X" but some burger king dude yells more and gets more likes and gets to screw up everyone's lives with deranged false advice because everyone goes "me no like lawyers" (usually because of 1980s meme jokes not any actual experience with a lawyer).
are you a lawyer? this can be considered legal advice as you are talking about a fact about laws, and wrongly, as others have pointed out.
you cannot express interpretation of law ("there is a reason why") since that is a topic only suited for lawyers and policy makers by the logic that you are implying. and you have not delivered a license allowing you to speak about this matter.
also, since this comment is public, this must be considered broadcasting.
People must not remember Mike Chen and 6 minute 6 packs lol
Just run for Congress, and watch your money multiply infinitely.
First, you have to have a law degree to be able to BS your way up 😂

Anyway, here's my advice on how to wash dishes quickly, since that's all I can speak on with any authority' or something. I believe there's people that went from broke to made but how replicable is that. I imagine a lot of luck or privilege is involved.
The envy and greed of people to keep thinking there is a way to get rich quick without luck and who you know can only be explained with one maxim: "people are stupid"

ClearValue Tax is the only finance youtuber who is honest almost to a fault. He frequently calls out other youtubers as being fake and even shares his youtube revenue with subscribers.
I would also add Sasha Yanshin to this thread, whose fiery thumbnail backgrounds are at much more palatable than say... Steven Van Metre's "gloom and doom" due to actual report/data analysis.

Theres a difference. Finance bros don’t by definition make content about finance, more likely random bank/invest firm employees
But finance bros also includes the people who fall for dubious products and keep believing in them even when they fail
No one has ever helped random people get rich out of the goodness of their hearts.

@@thestarisalie You have to be wise about when you put yourself out there. I got to a point where I got tired of being the only one playing by the rules but I didn't want to undermine the better person I was trying to be. I still don't have the perfect answer must in most cases I just let situations take there own course and stay disconnected until I'm convinced I can "do the right thing" without being set back by it. It's disgusting watching people degrade themselves into animals fighting to be king of the hill. But with kids, I got my priorities and who's opinions only matter. Everyone else, even other family and friends, have to find their own way. But that's me. Just keep in mind Jesus knew when things were a waste of time, he kept silent before Pilot and would remove himself from a crowd getting out of control. Letting the world beat you down doesn't help anyone or yourself. Exercise restraint and precision and good luck.
after what scam bankman did no way i will trust people who has finance on their profile.
Anyone telling you that they're going to help you get rich is selling something and you're their target victim.
Almost 100% of the time all those ads and yt channels are there to give you access to some thread on discord or some app with (not necessarily wealthy people) or some cheesy course giving common sense advice for how to make money…😑
What’s ironic is their (“gurus’”) way of making money is literally thier students and I’de be willing to bet the only way they can follow through or deliver to a student is to have them learn to sell hope to new students 🙄
Those kinds of videos have the one highest advertiser payout. Credit card companies and financial institutions love this stuff
You don't "get rich", you build wealth. Anyone who wants to get rich is doing it wrong and will lose money.
Very well said
This guy sits and yaps Infront of a camera and says "be creative, it's easy" the lack of self-awareness on how basic and uncreative his videos are is astounding LMAO
I feel like most of Asmon's advice would be a combination of Machiavelli and Marcus Aurelius.
"You can't control what a bad person does. You can only control what you do....so you're an idiot for falling for what the bad person does. " sounds very similar to Aurelius.
"You're acting on how you think the world should be, as opposed to how the world is.....and you're an idiot for doing that" sounds very similar to Machiavelli.
And hey, there are way worst philosophers to base your belief around.
Acting solely according to how the world should be just makes you Don Quixote, but acting only in response to how the world is turns you into someone without compassion.
You need both in equal measure.
Trouble is that Machiavelli also said something like "You can't treat your workers like crap and pay them as little as possible. There has to be at least some incentive."
Well, turns out that was completely wrong. They'll just come to work angry.
I agree, both have interesting ideas. In general with what you quoted, indeed, because both are referring to the same (virtue) ethical philosophical concept(s). One from the individual perspective, the other from an applied individual perspective on the realism of society. You could narrow that down to Socrates. Both have much more to say and are based on their interpretation of stoicism and realism at the time.
As for Machiavelli, I do think he is one of the worst to base your beliefs on. He wasn't the first to think this way, it was just not socially accepted for leaders or people in powerful position to hold those views (although they may be temporary correct). They are held to a higher standard due to the fact they aren't just individually responsible. But you could interpret and apply his views purely for learning and understanding the world as an individual.
Machiavelli went far beyond that and wanted (political) "power" everything was justified to get more of it. He basically wrote a "modern" handbook (The Prince) for how to be, bad a successful practical tyrant, in politics and beyond. He turns ruthlessness and treachery in matters of principals. Not only that, but he turned it into an in a system and laid down the foundation/ wrote the handbook that changed politics forever and is still used today. It twas Stalin's favorite work
Why aren't there boring, average good politicians who do care and know what they are talking about, don't use fear, manipulation and lies as a tactic or take responsibility?
Machiavelli explains it, or you can extract it from his work and see how it's openly applied today. This is in stark contrast to how people want their leaders to be today. Or with the scholastic doctrines of ethics and politics in previous time periods and history. Where politicians, tribe or monarch leaders often had absolute power (which Machiavelli wants) and were partially selected/educated and advised on good moral virtue's/ personality traits. And didn't go down the road, normalized the degenerative corrupting Machiavellian process to obtain power no matter what.
People are shitty animals and are looking out for only themselves at the expense of others. Asmongold is being real with you, thats how life is and thats how people really are.

Call me a traditionalist, but any 'bank' that hasn't had to contemplate a physical, real world robbery of a branch, isn't a bank. I know it doesn't make too much sense, but if I can't walk in there and look a bank employee in the eyes, I don't consider it a bank.

@@bararobberbaron859 Ok you don't consider it a bank but you'd be literally wrong. Boomer
@@warcraftarthasit partially is a casino, they take their customers deposits and loan them out to businesses and individuals, sure some have high collateral and low risk, but products like consumer loans have high risk and could be considered gambling. Also, ever heard about investment banks and their sales&trading divisions? The whole business is gambling with risk management, of course the money is raised in terms of LP/GP fund structure and the investor acceps the risk, so it is not unethcial. But remember 2008? Loans were given left and right and many of them defaulted, consequently many banks collapsed because of the bank runs and fucked the whole economy. So yes I don't agree it is a casino, because you don't come there to gamble, but the banks, they do gamble with your money.
there are a lot of innocent young people out there that can't even conceive of someone that would purposely rip them off... that does not make the scammer "smarter" than the innocent person. there is more to it than that

It dropped out and is here to stay lmao
The thing I hate about these "finfluencers" are the constant stream of click-baitey titles in their videos.
To be fair, that's half of CZcams if not more.
Doesn't make it better unfortunately....
I know what you mean. I remember very vividly like a year ago that I saw the exact same titles from all these guys: "China about to bankrupt, prepare now". 5 or so finance youtubers with nearly identical thumbnails and titles.
I asked my Chinese friend and he was like: wtf are you talking about, economy is doing great. lol
"It's not their fault." It is with Graham he said he was a part owner of the casino bank scam thing. He absolutely can be blamed for the banks scams.
One younger person I counsel bases their entire plans for adulthood and life on “block chain” and then “reinvesting their capital into starting an air bnb chain”… and they “already have a foot in the door because they took the class and was soooo good, they offered them a sales job of finding other people to take the class
The reason people like them so much is because they are literally financial influencers, the fact that people lose money by listening to what their advice is, is what makes them so disliked, if a videogame youtuber gave you bad directions on the most optimized way to farm a material than no one would hate them, but in this case they are quite literally finance influencers, and instead of losing materials you lose money
SO basically these finance CZcamsrs watched Kenneth Copeland and Creflo Dollar, and just essentially used the same shit for "finance".

There’s no money to influence

Also this
I feel there is a growing hatred for any influencers.
Special treatment for people who aren't anything special, yeah its bound to rub people the wrong way. Many of them are out of touch too, not saying they don't have problems, but to pretend they aren't getting some of the highest 'dollar per hour of effort' is insane! Make $2000 (after costs/tax) for a 3 hour podcast with a sponsor (assuming 2 hours of negotiating and looking for topics etc.) is $400/h. Meanwhile the Walmart greeter gets $15/h? Yeah, don't expect the Walmart greeter to feel bad for you when you say you've 'been putting in so many hours' lol. Some of them out-earn Cardiologists and trauma surgeons, being essentially pointless instead of lifesavers. The hate is justified.
The only good one is Humphrey Yang imho
HE never tries to sell stuff and acknowledged how fucked the average Joe is.
True, there's a couple good ones in the ranks
It's like the teacher giving you all the answers to the test and you still fail
I like how financial youtubers get a pass for promoting bad companies, but Kevin Oleary gets all the hate for crypto companies he's promoted which go bankrupt. If it's influences we like, we give them a pass.
To be fair, he constantly touts himself and gets touted as a financial expert from his seat in Shark Tank. But without getting deep into corporate, private files, he couldn't have known the state of FTX. And when you see entire teams and stadiums and other celebs doing it, the pitch is good, the money is good? I don't blame Kevin on this one. Don't like the man but its not like the scam was super obvious, because it started out legit, then they got too greedy and started displaying gambling addict behaviour and imploded the whole thing.
The absolute WORST example I can think of is Matt Kohrs. He was pushing his viewers to buy call options and hold no matter what for AMC after it had already pumped, at the worst possible time. And with a straight face he continued to tell everyone to hold as the stock tanked. It was his claim to fame and he just pretended like it didn't happen. I remember seeing him say something like "it doesn't matter if I sold my options" as everyone watching him lost everything they had put behind him. He might actually be a plant to find bag holders.
Agreed
These scammers are always looking over their shoulders, stress levels must be interesting.
One guy kept pushing McDonald's. Yeah, I don't eat there. Not investing there
That’s hilarious
The thing about many of these financial gurus is that the advice they give will be feasible if you have enough money to play around with (which most people who fall for the grift don't). And the real grift is that these financial gurus didn't have money to play around with when they started. They got that money through their content, by pretending that they are already swimming in money.
I mean, there's a cottage industry around these things, where these so-called "financial gurus" are making money by selling courses and teaching aspiring financial gurus how to grift other aspiring financial gurus. It's an endless circle jerk between greedy grifters and greedy people who don't have what it takes to graduate into being a grifter.
If someone says “this is not financially advice. Do your own due diligence” then maybe you should put on your big boy pants and understand the decisions you make with your money are your own to own.
How childish.
You should always do that regardless of any disclaimers. But at the same time, the disclaimer doesn't magically turn advice into non-advice.
@@bogdanlevi of course but the reason they say the disclaimer because if they don’t they can be sued and possibly face jail time.
Say "Tough shit stupid" to a desperate person is a sign of a bitter human being.
Either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain.
All influencers….all
The problem is that when you build a platform/following based on good advice the people assume the influencer did their homework on the product. So while some things our out of peoples control its the fact that people rely on the advice. So when something goes belly up the only people losing are the followers. Not the owner of the product and not the influencer.

So you pay taxes for infastucture and public transport. But when you want to use it, you still have to pay 😂😂😂
I trust sensible frugal influencers more than finance influencers. People who tell you to buy rolex and lambos are suss AF. I trust the one telling you to buy a second hand Toyota/Honda than people who wear brand name crap.
Wrong, these finance influencers wouldn't tell you to buy luxury stuffs. It's the opposite, they'd tell you to stop buying coffee at starbucks as if the coffee is the only thing stopping you from getting rich.
Used cars are a little risky to purchase. It is better to save up and buy a new car for cash and then save up for your next car 15-20 years later. Never take a car loan that charges you for early repayment, and if you do take a car loan pay it off immediately. Only go to one mechanic with your car, and make sure they are honest before you start going there. The reason you save for your car is that the interest on your saving/investments will make you money, where as if you take a loan it will cost you more money. If you can't save enough money for a new car, then a used car is worthwhile until such time as it takes more than 25% of its wholesale value in repairs at two consecutive tune ups, or more than 50% at one tune up. The ideal amount of money to save for a car is $300 a month. I understand not everyone can do that, but if you want to optimize your financial return, spend less and save more. My preferred maximum spending on luxuries is 25% of the amount I save per month.
That fact you trust any type of influencer shows
Ingvar Kamprad who started Ikea owned a shitty car, but it lasted him quite long. Expensive cars will only give you an expensive outcome. x) It ain't worth it.
Exactly, I dont trust strangers off line and especially not on the internet
Inflation is deflating peoples patience
I invest my money into a whopper with cheese everyday and it's going pretty good

Hope is a finite resource
that hit me hard - fuck i hate people who punch down.
My biggest problem with these influencers that promote something that completely falls apart (FTX or Yotta) is that they just go back and delete EVERYTHING to act like they never did it. Then they don't even get a lawyer prepared statement of saying they are aware of the issues (obviously not admitting fault or apologizing, since they opens them up and I get that). They just act like they never mentioned it and just go peddling out their next videos with their next promotion like nothing has happened.
The only one i listen to is roaring kitty, if you know you know.
Sick of him too
i like the stock.
@@StaceyAllen418 he puts his money where his mouth is, these other finance influencers always keep their positions quiet, if they even have any.
I followed two of these guys when I first started trading and it didn’t take me long at all to realize that most of their sales are coming from selling content, not from their pro trades
Having had Financial Advisors as clients of my Accounting business the thing to remember is that their livelihood isn't coupled to their clients making money. Do some basic homework and invest for youself, and most importantly diversify your portfolio.
And just like gambling never invest money that you cannot afford to lose.
The other thing to watch out for is pump-and-dump (finance version). Basically someone talks up a stock, crypto or other financial instrument because they want to boost the value through new buyers just so they can sell their holdings at a higher price,
That's strong man personal finance 😂
Look, clearly things have become tainted with greed and other behind the scenes workings to gain views and attention.
Simple advice, looking at these financial channels, don't spent a dollar on them, don't follow their advice or suggestion, don't promote anything about them. Just get informed on what they're saying, don't believe what they say but get informed on the topics they talk about. They clearly research relevant topics to get views, but its like watching a reviewer, they may be biased and paid by a sponsor, but you can see the video and reflect on their view and see if they brought up an interesting point for you to personally evaluate. But take it for what its supposed to be, informational topics.
Finance influencers and motivational speakers are all scams. 😂😂😂
Lmao. I read the title without wearing my glasses. I was convinced that is said French influencers. 😂😂🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣
Keeping track of who has how much is the entire point of a bank.
I bought a course from Tia Lopez. It didnt have anything to do with finance. It was more about situations and prioritizing. It really helped me in my early 20s. So he's not all bad.
It's like in a horror movie and someone walks into the woods saying "who's there?"
It's like that old WKUK sketch, Stock Watch:
"I can tell you from personal experience, I have 500 times more money today than before this book was invented"
"And that's just from using the principles found in this book!?"
"That's just from selling this book"
If you understand that everyone in the world either wants your TIME or your MONEY, and you also assume that everything is a scam, hen you’ll never get a taken advantage of.
Only a minute in and you nailed it!!! I watch Financial Audit with Caleb Hammer and i have not and would not "buy" anything he promotes or sells. But I listen to his advice. Because he says the same things over and over and over. He doesn't just come up with the "latest and greatest" things or change his advice based on whats trending. It is basic, essy to understand mathematically sound advice. Period.
Wait, Caleb promotes investments and financial services on his channel now? I watched him a couple of years ago and I don't recall him doing that.
@bogdanlevi I dont think he sells those things, I know he promotes an investment app but its a free app and he never mentioned specific investments
@@bogdanlevi Apps like Moomoo and those budgeting ones probably
@@gabemartinez2558 that's not an investment, that's a financial service.
@bogdanlevi He has at least 2 "ads" he does during the show. The last one I remember seeing was for a Law Firm. He also has a budgeting class and I think he does an investment class he sells personally.
I took a stock investing course in high school and all the useful information could have been shown on a single slide with a legend for reading stocks.
The air bnb guy used to call me and threaten to charge my credit card if I didn’t schedule a consultation to talk about the book I bought way back in 2020
The only one we like anymore is Caleb Hammer 🤣
