its amazing that people don't understand how important the stock market, and traders are. you would think after the last crash back in 08-09 and the impact that had on everyone, people would get the picture. You would think someone whos into real estate would remember what happened then.

Great video Clay, a very effective way to explain to the people why the stock market and also traders/investors (real estate included) does good and push the economy to grow.

THANKS CLAY GOOD VIDEO THANKS FOR SHARING AND WOULD EXPECT MORE VIDEOS IN FUTURE

Your are absolutely perfect ..true (y) Great effort. THANKS FOR HELPING PEOPLES

Yesss! I love it!..great video Clay!!

The world could live without the stock market.

Great point!

Wow! That's a new thing I learnt today 😅 24th March 2024. Thanks Clay 🤝

Great Video like always man!

This is an excellent presentation and clears up many misunderstandings, revealing the larger organization of how our financial society works. Thank you Clay!

Awesome vid Clay... I was one of those people 👍

Really informative, thank you.

Cool video, I like your points. But if there was no stock market, wouldn't companies just be LLCs and privately traded instead of publicly traded? Just seems their shares would be traded at a slower pace.

Whoever said trading is just sitting on your butt all day what do you call studying, research/planning, and executing (aka the same exact thing people do in real estate)? There are many people who simply have money to fund real estate projects yet they do no actual work or planning involved in the project but still will profit more than all of their workers (I know some poker players who invest in real estate simply to make more money and have a more sustainable income aka self interest aka what a lot of the real estate industry represents). Just as with trading there are plenty of people who wait for down times in the real estate market to profit off of other people's mistakes and misfortune. Even if traders sat on there ass all day how are they any less deserving than someone who works hard manual labor all because they chose to use their brain smarts to make money? In reality just as well as one has to maintain physical endurance in laborious work one also has to maintain mental sharpness and endurance in mental labor. Btw as long as traders buy Lamborghini's, McLaren's, etc guess what? PEOPLE HAVE JOBS AND THE ECONOMY CAN CONTINUE TO RISE . Traders pay for electricity, they pay brokers, they pay for internet and possibly many other things so traders help keep a lot of people their jobs. And speaking of advancing the human civilization don't get me started on the many negative affects real estate can have on our communities and planet.

Good video, I would suggest that a company's main goal is to create wealth, not jobs. However when they create wealth jobs will follow, assuming the employees are productive and can produce more wealth than what there wage is. Also by investing in real estate, that puts builders to work like toll brothers or kb homes, both publicly traded companies. It is a beautiful circle, capitalism is awesome.

Hey Clay, a few months ago you uploaded live trades. I was wondering what application/brokerage you use in those videos. :) thanks

Hey Clay i got a question for you. If you're a holder on an option contract for lets say Ford; would you still collect a dividend if expiration is after the payout?

ok but arent there businesses not depandent on the stock market? a company can grow through organic profits as well no?

hakuna matata. XD long term bah. invested in TAP about 4 days ago, bought shares at $98 it's down to $95, at one point it went to $100. come on people buy beer! or I will lose me money.

Naive ppl really think they're helping the world and other ppl doesn't. Dude we're all just another brick in the wall.
