#45 What's It Take To Be a Day-Trader? $20k & Some Big Balls/Ovaries! 💪 with Brooke Hoerr
Business News and Other Sh!t
06/10/19 • 63 min
Wassup y'all,
Stocks are up 6+% in the last 4 sessions! That's a HUGE move in such a short time! WTF happened? Why's this market all over the place? I break it down -- bottom line: THE FED. We also discuss what might be the REAL intentions behind Trump's trade war - man that sh!t's getting shadier and shadier each day that passes. We then jump into scratchin everyone's "trader" itch: Ever think about becoming a futures trader? Maybe doing it part-time to make a lil extra cash? Maybe you've wondered "Do I have the stomach for that?"
My boy Brooke Hoerr in London broke it down. This dude traded extra large positions in both the stock and bond markets for several years. At one point, Brooke told us a story about being on the train line one morning that, a couple hours after he got off, got bombed in the London bombings, yet still going into the office to trade!
Comedian Anthony Bonazzo dropped some funny 1-liners. To him, day-trading is like being on Facebook all day, but waaayyyy more productive.
Sit back, relax and enjoy!
Peace

#74: Owner's Mentality = Roll Up Sleeves. Clean Toilet. Wipe Sh!t Water Off Your Face
Business News and Other Sh!t
10/23/19 • 67 min
Episode 74.
Yo, Masroor Ahmed. This dude is a finance lover. This guy really is comfortable with money and making big decisions around money. He showed us that he's willing to roll up his sleeves and clean some toilets and wash some dishes. That's right.
Dude is VP of finance at Factor 75. A company that makes food- organic, grass fed type of food- and then delivers it already cooked and chilled to your door. He's basically CFO for that company.
We asked him, "yo, how do you make that chedda?" and he says it's all about work ethic in his opinion/experience.
Noshod broke down some crazy stories from his time at military school and as a cross country runner- some depressing sh!t, but it was actually great because he ended up winning in the end.
And, finally, Masroor, walks us through what it means to really have an owner's mentality. And how does that relate to the saying, "own your sh!t"? Yeah, Masroor told us some personal stories around that- really powerful.
We finished off talking about something unexpected- the Chicago Public School situation- and some ideas we have to make things better (if CPS would ever listen to us, but why would they? No idea.) There's so much knowledge already out there with Khan Academy and other similar sites that maybe there's some wacky or otherwise outside-the-box solutions for CPS's problems.
So anyway, sit back, relax. Enjoy the episode. Thanks for tuning in, ya'll.
Peace.

#29: Well, Excuse Me, Mr. Gangsta Market, Up 8 STRAIGHT Weeks!
Business News and Other Sh!t
02/18/19 • 78 min
If you’ve been listenin’ to me and investing 20% every week, you done made some SERIOUS cheddar the past 8 weeks yo!! Yes, KEEP INVESTIN’ every week. If you’re not, whatever excuses you makin’ up, knock the teef outta they mouth!
I know, I know. Last week I said the market’s gonna puke. Well, it definitely did NOT puke this week. I DO still believe the market’s vulnerable given
(1) Drumpf clownin’ around with China trade war and (2) the global economy straight up slowin’ down.
Even when the market does puke tho,stayin’ disciplined = long term rich AF.
What about all this drama with Amazon pullin out of NYC? And WTF is up w Bezos not being there to rescue the deal? Too busy hittin’ LA pool parties w spicy Lauren Sanchez? Too busy piss matchin’ with D-Trump and the Enquirer’s truthful Bezos story? (Lancey can’t even believe the Enquirer actually published a TRUE story! First for everything) I ain’t diggin’ AMZN stock over the next few months, sell some of dat sh!t because Bezos distracted fo’ sho.
And wassup with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) draggin all the millennials with her to the left? Is she a communist? Is she the reason Amazon left NYC? Wasssup AOC!?! Are we still gonna have a stock market if everyone becomes a socialist? Listen in to this ep to hear wassup.
Our guest this week is Lancey Richardson. He has a FREE Stand up comedy show called “Comedy Tub” - https://www.facebook.com/Comedytub/ every Thursday night at Chicago Joes at 8 pm.
SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:
5:30 Topics: Markets, Greed, Amazon, Millennial Socialists
9:00 WTF is Lancey’s accent?
11:00 Lancey's investing strategy - “buy whatcha know”
17:00 Amer’s strategy: Buy at least 20 “Whatcha know” stocks to diversify

#48 Millennials Unconsciously Bleed Money Everyday. Here's How to STOP with Cofield Advisors CEO
Business News and Other Sh!t
07/01/19 • 84 min
Don't know their profit margins.
Don't invest in stocks.
Don't plan for a big tax bill.
Don't take advantage of depreciation.
Millennials, WTF?!
Cofield from Cofield Advisors told us wassup on this episode.
Before that, tho, we started with Jony Apple-seed. Apple lost their most important dude, Jony Ive (Pronounced Johnny I've), who Steve Jobs called his "spiritual partner" (ie, get-blazed buddy). Apple stock was down as much as -2%.
As the Chief Design Officer, Jony's fingerprints are all over every product (creep): iMac, iPad, Apple Watch, and of course the iPhone. So who's gonna make the iSexRobot in 2021? Don't worry, Jony's opening a new design firm and Apple will be his first client. Bottom line: keep buying Apple stock. It's a long-term win as they rotate away from hardware towards services.
We then talked about interest rates DROPPING a lot! Mortgages, car loans, credit card debt - it's all going lower. Y'all need to be borrowing money and buying some kind of investment like a real estate property or a business. HURRY UP, that sh!t just got cheaper!!!
Finally we hit up Bitcoin, the F*CK IT currency. Should you be buying Bitcoin at 13 grand? Everyone should own at least a LITTLE BIT of BTC. Go open an account at Coinbase and join us in 2019 please, thank you.
Relax and make some effing cheddar,
Peace
Amer

#82 How to Read Stocks and Influence People w/JJ Wenrich 20-year Investment Veteran & Comedian Lancey Joe
Business News and Other Sh!t
12/02/19 • 60 min
J. J. Wenrich is a Certified Financial Planner and 20-year veteran of the investment world. He developed his fascination in the stock market as a child, watching business reports on PBS, one of the few stations available in his small-town Kansas home. During the freezing winters and blazing summers, he was inside learning about what he calls “the amazing world of stocks.” Despite his small-town upbringing, J.J. had progressive teachers along the way who included personal finance and stock-picking games in their curriculum.
Later, his education continued at The University of Kansas, reigniting his love of the market. So much so that, while his buddies headed off to Mexico for spring break, he stayed on campus and spent all-nighters watching CNBC, geeking-out on stock charts and spreadsheets as he followed equity markets around the world.
Since then, J.J. has built a 20-year career in financial planning and investments, working with some of the best investment professionals and financial advisors in the U.S.
Along the way, he met his wife Jodie—also a financial professional—and together they built a family “portfolio” including Jodie’s son and another three children born within 30 months. It’s that family unit that is the basis of J.J.’s lessons on educating kids about healthy financial habits and Teaching Kids to Buy Stocks.
J.J. also runs a Registered Investment Advisory Practice in California (https://www.jjwenrich.com/wenrichconsulting)

What’s up Episode 87, Business News and Other Sh!t, how y’all doing? We taped from Cedar’s again, the restaurant that I own. We have launched a new menu by the way with a kickass chef, delicious food, awesome reviews, please roll through, if you see me please grab me, say what’s up. Today we have a really cool dude named Billy McMillan. This dude worked at NASA for 10 long years. We also had Chris Brodhead, our producer on the podcast who we haven’t had on in a while, him and Billy were friends when they worked at NASA together. Man what an interesting dude. During his time at NASA Billy helped create innovative leadership development programs for the agency and after several years of that he moved over to Accenture where he continues to create leadership programs and coach. We got into some really cool detailed questions about NASA as well: Are they a waste, are they dumb, are they cool, what kind of curiosity NASA satisfies and is NASA worth it? Sit back, relax and enjoy the episode. Peace.

#25: Financial Freedom Ain’t What You Think It Is with Skylar Higley
Business News and Other Sh!t
01/10/19 • 112 min
We live in a culture that values “financial freedom” above almost all else. WTF does this even mean?!
Work like a donkey and you’ll have financial freedom, right?
Get really good at day trading stocks and one day you’ll have that big winner, right?
Play the lottery and when you win a small jackpot (say, $1 or $2 million) you’ll have financial freedom, right?
Comedian Skyler Higley (Laugh Factory, January 25th) joins me to discuss how all this is BS.
You may also learn a thing or 2 about Mennonites...and methanites.
Bottom line: you can do whatever you want right now. It’s just no one is ever going to tell you that.
I also discuss how last week’s negative news on Apple’s revenue problems is HUGE for the market, though everyone seems to have moved on thinking the bull market is fully back on track.
Finally, my dad comes on to talk about some of the economic effects of Drumpf’s government shutdown.
Show Highlights:
What is financial freedom?
FF has a spiritual component & a tangible component
What is the right plan for financial freedom?
60/20/20 rule
Why it’s important to know your net worth
Cut up your credit cards
Put this plan into place and your money anxiety will decrease.
The markets have suddenly forgotten all the bad out there
Jeff Bezos is getting divorced
Apple is becoming a service company.
Last week’s jobs reports is a misdirection
Should we raise interest rates? Huge impact on economy

#58: Could Epstein’s “Pimp Island” Affect Your Investments?
Business News and Other Sh!t
09/03/19 • 60 min
Wassup cash-maker's,
Let's take a gander at Epstein's boys, shall we?
- Donald J. Trump
- Bill J. Clinton
- Prince Andrew of Wales (who?)
You tryna' tell me some big-name CEO-types weren't visitin' creep-o-island? Of course they were.
There's risk out there in them markets, people. I'm not saying sell, just hold onto your hats, it could get bumpy as Ghislaine Maxwell (Epstein's business manager) starts to speak.
How about our guests?
- Osman Arain, bangin' portfolio manager
- Lancey Joe, bangin' comedian
Yo, make sure you check out Lancey Joe's comedy show - the best independent show (I think) in the city called Comedy Tub over at Chicago Joe's, every Thursday, 8pm.
Onwards: opioids are fo' real. The Sacklers' (fam that owns Purdue Pharma, biggest dealer of opioids to vulnerable Americans) talm' about settling for $12bn ($3bn cash, $9bn from FUTURE sales of supposedly legit opioids). I think the Sackler's should've died in the 80's with parachute pants.
Finally, we hit up JUUL, vape-capital of America. These dudes bout to get investigated like Gayle King interviewing R. Kelly. FTC, FDA, ETC. Teenagers startin' to show up at hospitals with seizures and other illnesses. At the same time, Altria trying to re-unite with Phillip Morris - listen in to see if Altria owning 35% of JUUL will stop the merger of Marlboro's.
Chill and make cash people,
Peace
Amer
