STRC is a place where I park cash to earn 12% per year on my money. STRC is a Bitcoin play. If you believe in Bitcoin then this an asset you may want to consider. STRC is tied to the company MSTR which holds over 700,000 Bitcoin on their company balance sheet. Earlier this year, the price of STRC dropped in the $70 range. If you believed the alleged "news" reports/predictions you might have been scared into panic selling. But for people that held on and continued to buy shares, they were rewarded when the price recovered to $99/share.

STRC pays a dividend TWO times per month! Entry points when investing CAN matter. But it's best to look forward and not focus on what already happened. What can you accomplish today? Focus on that.

I started in field of education before switching to the healthcare field. I walked away from a "guaranteed" pension and then learned how to create my own "pension" through investing.

What do wealthy people do when they get "new" money into their bank account? Answer: they look to buy ASSETS. What do poor people do when they get "new' money? Answer: they look to buy THINGS! If you buy things, the money is gone forever. If you buy assets that pay dividends, you have INCOME consistently.

It takes courage to be a successful investor because it involves taking risks. The same is true of great leaders-it takes courage to be a great leader.

QQQI and SPYI remain solid places to put money where I earn a decent ROI(return on investment) but NOT a great return. But the RISK level is low when compared to very HIGH yield/high RISK assets like MSTY/ULTY.

Many people who are NOT already wealthy, will likely find it difficult to BECOME wealthy if you ONLY invest in very LOW yield/low risk assets. It's possible, but you need to have BOTH a lot of TIME and a lot of MONEY to accomplish this.

MSTR is a company that has Billions of dollars held in Bitcoin on the company balance sheet. What is the statistical likelihood that this company will go bankrupt?

Learn from failure. Don't fear failure.

Have courage today, to pick one thing, and work on your dreams. We will talk again soon.

Season 3, Episode #49. Not Me, But You! Podcast.

****This episode some people may not want to listen to if you don't like the use of the word "moron." ****

Email me at WaypaToday@gmail.com. Or follow me/connect with me on X at: Waypa Today. I offer private coaching although the podcast is designed for many to NOT need private coaching! If interested, contact me and we can spend 20 minutes on a Zoom call to see if working together makes sense.

What causes inflation? Check online, for yourself who Milton Friedman was and what he said causes inflation! We "peel the layers of the onion" regarding the topic of inflation. When inflation enters the economy, or when inflation is "introduced" into the economy, prices (costs) have to RISE in response to the inflation.

I encourage you to do your own research and NOT be misled by SOME people on the internet who sound confident but are providing misleading information!

As a successful investor, I have discovered that ONE of my main financial goals when investing, is to OUTPACE the true rate of inflation! I also discuss various investments at DIFFERENT risk levels!

Another financial goal I had, was to get as many assets as possible "transferred" from my traditional IRA into my Roth IRA, where the dividends paid to me are 100% TAX FREE! (after I meet two conditions).

Have courage today, to pick one thing, and work on your dreams. We will talk again soon!

Bitcoin price has gone higher. Recently Bitcoin hit a price of $87,000. Almost ONE year ago, Bitcoin was $126,000! I believe Bitcoin is going to $150,000 or higher. I just don't know WHEN!

How is inflation eroding the purchasing power of your money? WHAT causes inflation? How as investors, do we OVERCOME the TRUE rate of inflation with our investments?

Roth conversions can be a HUGE help to get a bigger pile of money/assets INTO our ROTH IRA accounts. I strive to have as many DIVIDEND producing assets as possible INSIDE of my Roth IRA accounts. Why? Answer: Because dividends withdrawn from a Roth IRA (as long you meet two conditions) are 100% TAX FREE!!!! You pay ZERO tax!!

We also discuss "global arbitrage" in retirement. Groceries and rent (housing) cost less in certain parts of the world! It's cheaper to live, it's easier to live comfortably if you are willing to relocate.

Season 3 Episode #45. Not Me, But You! Podcast.

AI = Artificial Intelligence. It can be simple to invest in order to benefit from AI upside in the stock market. I don't attempt to select individual companies that will be "the next big thing" in the AI space and are "set to blow up." Instead I invest in broader funds that will capture profit. I provide specific examples.

In review, interest rates we earn on our money are extremely important. One of my main goals as an investor is to outpace the true rate of inflation. I discuss how I accomplish that.

I discuss retirement, pathways toward retirement and financial independence. It's possible to become wealthy, over time simply by pushing buttons on your phone. Complicated math is not needed nor is extreme technical knowledge in order to evaluate investments.

As always, investing is a personal choice that no one can make for you. We all need to do our own research (which again doesn't have to be complicated) and then we all need to accept responsibility for the money we choose to invest and the outcomes of those investments.

Have courage today, to pick one thing, and work on your dreams. We will talk again soon.

Season 3, Episode #44. Not Me, But You! Podcast.

Not Me, But You! coming soon to YouTube! Precious mettles like Gold/Silver can be useful in a financial portofolio in my opinion. This is NOT financial advice. Do you own "certificates?" or the actual gold/silver metal? If you own the actual metal in what secure place do you store the metal? Transporting the metal can be cumbersome and problematic.

Precious metals like Gold/Silver can be a good hedge against inflation and "money debasement." But HOW you invest and HOW you buy it can make a difference. Do you dollar cost average with freqent purchases? This is the method I would use. Now you are holding the asset (precious metal) and hoping the price goes up so you can sell and lock in some profit. It'a a buy/hold opportunity. Precious metals do NOT pay dividends typicaly.

What about Bitcoin? I discuss a side-by-side comparison of precious metals (specifically gold) as compared to Bitcoin for an investor who bought both starting in January 2010. This "investor" does NOT likely exist on planet earth. Why? That is part of what we discuss. There were challenges in 2010 especially with Bitcoin.

If you bought gold you would have had to held it through 2024 when the price went up significantly. With Bitcoin, we can look forward to a new all time high price about every 4 years. One primary features of Bitcoin, as an asset, is that it has a FIXED supply.

Why invest at all? Answer: because your money is buying less and less EACH year! Our main goal as investors: is to OUTPACE the TRUE rate of inflation. Not the reported inflation numbers. Do you buy groceries, or fuel? Just look at how costs have gone up dramatically since Covid!

I utilize the power of consistentcy...rinsing/repeating to work to my advantage over time.

Have courage today, to pick one thing, and work on your dreams. We will talk again soon.
