Hi i just have 1 question. I made a coin and want to ask why market cap is too high? How can i decrease it?

That's like one of the greatest comments I can get! I'm very happy to have helped you with this realization! Can I suggest you watch this one next? :) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e8mAja2hrq29k5c.html

Wonderful! Thanks for your comment!!

There's certainly a lot of people treating it like that!!! Not me though, and that's not what I teach. It makes more sense to me to exploit that fact rather than become one of the gamblers :) Thanks for watching!

Awesome! Thanks so much for commenting to let me know Maxim :) if there is any other subjects you’d like to see me cover, let me know :)

@@IntelligentStockInvesting I like how explain things, you make it simple to understand which is always good! There are so many subjects I am interested in, at this point I am interested in finding "hot sectors" and good performing stocks in those sectors or just in general.

Thanks! Really glad you’re enjoying it :)

Thanks so much Rafat!! I really appreciate that 👊

Great I’m glad you liked it. Thanks for the comment.

I have a video called “where does the money go?” That answers this better. Basically the company sells shares to an investment bank who then sells them to others for a higher price. When the IPO day comes all shares are owned by someone or an investment bank or multiple investment banks.

Awesome !! 👌

Hey Eric! My pleasure! So if there was 400 million shares "bought and owned" as you said, it would mean that there are 400 million shares outstanding. If a company buys back shares and doesn't retire them, those shares are held as "treasury shares" because they may be re-sold in the future to raise money, but those shares aren't relevant to the shares outstanding count (those shares are owned by the company which means they're owned by the shareholders - you). The shares outstanding are the ones that are "bought and owned" .. With that said.. If there are stock options or warrants out that can be redeemed for shares, this is when you'll see the "diluted shares outstanding" amount - this is the total shares outstanding if hypothetically all options and warrants current out were to be redeemed for the shares... Hope that helps and didn't add extra confusion! This is a smaller detail and as you continue to learn it will all click into place. The important thing to know about shares outstanding is that share ownership = company ownership. If you own 1% of the shares outstanding it means you own 1% of the company. Shares of stock are just business ownership. And the best investors buy that percentage ownership when it's trading at an attractive price! Let me know if you have any follow up questions, I do want to help!! :) This video is a good follow up one to watch next: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f5eAnpp7utfOnqM.html

Thanks!!! Glad to have you :) Let me know if you have any questions along the way in your investing journey or topics you'd like me to make a video covering :) Have a great day Artūrs!

Hi Mirul, Apple does have the highest market cap yes however this does not necessarily mean it's the most expensive. How expensive a company is will depend on how much money it makes and how much money it will make in the future. If one company had a Market cap of $1 trillion dollars and that company earns $50 billion of profits (A price to earnings ratio of 20) VS. another company with a market cap of $500 billion, but earns only $20 billion of profits (A price to earnings ratio of 25) . If they're both growing earnings at the same rate, the $500 billion dollar company is more expensive. Does this make sense? If not I can try to explain another way. This market cap video does not get into the price vs. value component of value investing.

Awesome! you're welcome. happy to have you here. Let me know if I can help with any other questions that come up along your journey :)

Thank you あすかニューン !!

My pleasure Nathan !

@@IntelligentStockInvesting - Actually I have a perfect idea/topic for you! I was reading about Nancy Pelosi and her husband spending 3 Million on call options earlier tonight. For some reason - I cannot put my head around it to understand it. The options have strike prices below their current prices, but people are saying it's them betting the market will do well in 2022.

​@@JDOPost I can answer your question here :) When you buy calls you're making a bet that the stock will go up (when you buy puts you're betting it will go down).. so she thinks those stocks will go up. I don't buy calls or puts myself because it's mostly just gambling. The only time I would buy a call is if was a far out dated call like 2 years expiry date (also called LEAPS), and i thought the stock was very underpriced and the options also were mispriced. This is not the case here. Shorter term options are very efficiently priced and so it's hard to make money with them consistently and systematically. With these calls that Nancy has bought. She could also be hedging a previous short position in those stocks. If she shorted the stock and then has now bought calls, the calls give her the right to buy the stock at the chosen strike price, so perhaps she's just protecting her short position. I wouldn't worry yourself about what Nancy Pelosi does at all though because there are a number of proven investors with successful track records that you can keep track of on websites like dataroma.com. Nancy Pelosi, in terms of stock investing is a know-nothing.

@@IntelligentStockInvesting - Thanks man! I actually went to Dataroma yesterday after watching one of your videos! 👍🏻 Also, I do think their Roblox play was set for 2023, so idk. I've heard she's been making a lot of money in the stock market. Some say it's insider trading and other say it's bc her husband is some kind of genius. 😂

@@IntelligentStockInvesting - What do you think about these plays? Roblox, Robinhood, Ford, Matterport, Dogecoin

Thank you!! You’ll enjoy this one too I think which is a more recent video on the overall things beginners need to know and the fundamentals of stock investing :) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e8mAja2hrq29k5c.html

haha, thanks David. Glad you enjoyed it :)

Thank you. I appreciate your comment! Thanks for your support.

Hi Bijan, yes if you own 30% of the company it means you own 30% of the assets, but also the liabilities, so in otherwords you own the 30% of the company's equity. Check out this video next: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mK5dld1izq_dqWg.html :)

Yes market cap in crypto would be the cost per one coin multiplied by the number of coins currently in existence :)

I think they must be referring to the market cap already being very high. It's easier for a $10M company to 10X to a $100M company than it is for a $100B company to 10X to become a $1 trillion dollar company. I wouldn't advice focusing on what the price will do though... check out this video on short term vs long term stock investing: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eLdkkrGky87Mkpc.html

@@IntelligentStockInvesting Thank you! Will check it out.

I go into the math of that in other videos but essentially think of it like this: If someone offered to sell you a money tree that would live forever and give you $100 every day immediately and the amount it gave you would also increase slowly at a rate of 5% a year. What is the most you'd be willing to pay for it? $1M would be too expensive... but what price would would be a good fair price you'd be willing to pay? That's what you're doing when you value companies :)

Glad you enjoyed it Thanks Joseph!

By looking at the financial statements (how much money the company makes and how much money and assets the company has) and then using their brain.

@@IntelligentStockInvesting so this hypothetical beginner (and I have to stress the descriptor BEGINNER) is supposed to do this analysis in order to not deserve your condescension?

No offence was meant. My answer is just straightforward. To value a company you look at how much profit it makes currently, and you make an educated guess about whether that will continue in the future. This is found in the financial statements and by using your brain for some critical thinking. For most companies that will be too hard to do so a lot of companies you look at will go in the “too hard” pile. There is a learning curve but it’s not impossible by any means. Beginner just means you have more to learn. Good luck. The learning never stops in this endeavour so fall in love with learning and thinking.

Hi Grecia, stock splits don’t mean issuing new shares, no. Stock splits are like if you have a $100 bill and it gets turned into 5 $20s. Yes the number of shares outstanding has increased but the shares are each worth proportionately less. The graphs that show shares outstanding over time have been adjusted for stock splits :) hope that helps answer your question.

@@IntelligentStockInvesting got it, thanks!!

Yes I can. I'll put it out on Sunday :)

@@IntelligentStockInvesting you’re literally the best! Your content is super informative for a beginner like me. Keep up the good work!

Thanks Jessica :) I’m happy to hear that!

Hi Rodrigo, Market price and underlying value are different. That's how value investors seek to maximize their investment returns: by buying shares when their market price is below what they're worth. What a company is WORTH, and its PRICE is two different things. Often they can be the same or close to each other, but sometimes there can be large a discrepancy. Check out these videos for a deeper understanding: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rst5bMdyt5fKdaM.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f5eAnpp7utfOnqM.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jtKSocWim56Yd30.html

You can see it in the financial reports that companies put out but you can also go to yahoo finance, look up any company, and go to the statistics tab and you'll find it half way down the page on the right side.

@@IntelligentStockInvesting I did find out the share being issued in the second quarter of 2021 but it does not seems fit the share issued in current market. Also, I realize that the market cap display on yahoo finance is different from the app that I am currently using to show the statistic of current stock market.

@@yanbinloh4728 Market cap is technically always changing every time the price per share changes all day long but most apps and websites update market cap once a day based or every 15 minutes for example so that's why it can be slightly different depending on where you're looking.

@@IntelligentStockInvesting I see, thank you very much.

Yes I much prefer stocks. I'm not much of a fan of crypto. Stock investing is very worth it though :)

@@IntelligentStockInvesting is there anyway to recover my lost money,, i have 6000 stuck in spot

@@ADTabassum personally I would cut my losses with the crypto and focus on mastery stock investing. Crypto is like a lottery ticket but owning companies and buying them at sensible prices is a guaranteed way to eventual wealth.

Market cap is share price X number of shares (also known as as share outstanding) Shares outstanding is usually pretty constant but can change when a company issues more shares or buys back shares… share price is always changing anytime anyone buys/sells shares.. Net profit does not directly affect market cap, but net profits will influence people’s opinion of the value and they will buy and sell shares based on that opinion.

@@IntelligentStockInvesting yes, but what make a stock to value 1b$ and not 2b$ what give the money? How do increase and decrease the marketcap?

@user-ll4td8vy2z I have other videos on how stock market works and why stocks go up and down. Watch those first and if you still have questions post a new comment so I see it instead of a reply

All of the owners of all of Apple shares would need to sell their shares to you for you to buy the whole company. Technically it’s possible.

Hi Bijan, yes if you own 30% of the company it means you own 30% of the assets, but also the liabilities, so in otherwords you own the 30% of the company's equity. Check out this video next: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mK5dld1izq_dqWg.html :)

Thank you very much

No problem :)

No worries! ya I agree. In crypto it doesn't really matter at all. With companies/stocks it tells you what the price tag on the entire company is so that you can compare it what you estimate the value of the entire company to be. When the price tag is lower than the value it could mean a good investment opportunity :)

@@IntelligentStockInvesting you just earned yourself a subscriber my boy. It’s all so clear now!

@@sorcelord65 Amazing :) respect !

I know, it’s unfortunate 👎👎

I try but they just happen

I’m not sure what you mean? Please clarify and I’ll do my best to answer your question :)

@@IntelligentStockInvesting thx for your quick response! 🙂 I mean i bought Shiba coin at 0.0000145 and market cap is 11,039,163,282. Want to know can it go 10X up, thats 10 000% right?

I guess anything is possible... however, I don’t have any predictions about that. I like to stick to stocks because I prefer to own assets which generate cash. Crypto is more of a lottery ticket type of purchase. You may enjoy this video I did specifically about crypto: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gZyRe7yirsCwYo0.html

@@IntelligentStockInvesting ok, thank you. If i gain 3-5x this month will go full in ETH.

Hi Collin, yes I can help? What would you like to learn next? This video is a good one that covers the foundations :) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e8mAja2hrq29k5c.html

Thank you and sorry about the hands! Still learning :)

Thanks for the feedback. this is one of the first videos I made. Please check out one of the new videos I've made (with the yellow thumbnails) and tell me if it's still unwatchable.

Haha, filming these things isn’t easy. This is one of the first videos I did (but not even those most handsy) I think I’ve since got a little better. If I don’t use any hands though all enthusiasm disappears and I sound like a robot. Still learning how to be on camera :) thanks for the feedback :)

Thanks!
