Your strategy for investing $100,000? To maximize returns while managing risk. So if somebody has a hundred thousand dollars right now. Somebody has $100,000 right now. Yeah. What's the strategy? Put ha. I'm gonna spice it up. Put half of it into index funds at a price point that I call so VO VTI VGT on a drop. You don't want to put it in at an all time high. Cool. The second part, you want to pick two technology stocks. But I don't care. Like this is my Strategy where there's 1000-1010-0100-0010. 10,000,000, 100,000,000. 1,000,000. Half into index funds and other half in the tech. So if you want to minimize your risk, which Apple or Microsoft already does, you have to also factor in while mitigating the risk. Are you minimizing the returns? So if you have a company like Nvidia, let's say Tesla, Tesla may draw down 40 at any given time. Right. But you may miss out on 400% over a four or five year period by not investing into it. So you have to define your risk appetite. But the strategy has to be put half of it into tech. Your life runs on tech. We're on YouTube, Google right now most of you are working off of Microsoft products. Like the strategy doesn't change but the price points in which you enter are going to matter a lot more because it's tough to see your accountant Dwindle from 100 grand down to 60 grand because you bought it a high or you wanted to buy Gamestop or do zero day traded options. Some BS like that. Some. So pick the two companies that you love. Whether OpenAI gets bought out or they go public, Microsoft is sending on a windfall of money coming in. Great. As much as I think Apple could innovate, they're still going to outpace the market. They're still going to give you a great return. They're not going to argue the more money that you have, the safer bet Apple is for you. If you have a lot of money. So half into index funds void or some S P equivalent and then the other into Apple, Microsoft, Nvidia. If Lily was at a lower price, maybe. But you have to do half Tekken and half index no matter how much money you have. Auto remixing is why that bag is messed up. Now I get to talk. I gave you the soft soliloquy, you get the your money up. Try yo somebody is GameStop going to research bro, this is not like 2019. No, that company was garbage then.

All facts. Okay, one hundred thousand dollar play. That's a fact that I actually in 2021, like I've had the hundred thousand dollar investment shout out to everybody that was at Market Mondays Live at the at the Apollo, like our first one and I broke down that 100,000. It was like all right, this is what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna put it in three ETFs. At the time I was doing long term option leaps on them. SMH was one, XLK was one, XLY was the other. I took that 100 and I put 33, 33, 33 which was 99 at the time. So I left like a thousand over and I actually spoke in in Brooklyn the other day. I was talking to some, some adults and some of the teachers and they were like wow man, that's a lot. And I'm like well obviously it's risk management. You're not going to put your last 100 or your last 10,000 or your last a thousand. But taking an educated stance on it obviously before I was going to do it. I remember sitting in Cali, waking up at six in the morning like, I'm gonna do this, I'm gonna do this, I'm gonna do this. And that was a lucrative return. Like those three investments appreciated by 1200 percent at minimum each. So yes, some of y'all doing the calculations. Yeah, that was a hell of an investment at the time for. So I know like a hundred thousand is like. Well, I don't have a hundred. Well, you might have a thousand. And so you may create A or 10,000. Right. But you can figure out how much you're going to allocate to each position. Notice I said three ETFs, because there's some protection there. Right. If the market moves in a sector, then that sector will go. If Nvidia, which was in estimation, it wasn't even the largest allocation at the time. If that pulled back, I'm somewhat protected because it's not the only thing that estimation invests in. So yeah, that was, that was actually my $100,000 strategy.
