Savvy Trader will send a text or email to everyone subscribed to your portfolio.   Savvy Trader is on a mission to make investment information more accessible. Learning about stocks and crypto can be intimidating and overwhelming with incredibly high levels of noise and very little signal. Savvy Trader helps solve this problem in two ways: Create and trade stocks and crypto in a safe virtual portfolio environment. The Savvy Trader virtual portfolios work a lot like a real brokerage account, except the trades are not real, allowing users to experiment and learn. Portfolio Creators can also share their virtual portfolios. A great way to learn about stocks and crypto is to see the virtual portfolios of others, see the actual performance of those portfolios as if they were real, and learn about the reasons behind the creators decisions for buying or selling each holding. So go ahead, create a virtual portfolio and share it with the world. Speaking of, I have a Savvy Trader virtual portfolio myself. Truth be told, I wanted to create Savvy Trader for myself as an easy way for me to consolidate my holdings in multiple accounts into a single virtual portfolio that represents my actual investments, and I wanted an easy way to share my portfolio details with friends and family. You can subscribe to my portfolio below - it's free!     Notes:   Savvy trader a website created by Hamid for portfolio sharing. You can see what stocks other people are buying. You can also create custom portfolio as well as build an audience. They pay creators $25 a month.   Under the Savvy Trader brand, they created Earnings Hub, which gives the quarterly earnings reports of Companies and their stocks. You can get a summary of the quarterly calls, analyst expectations, analyst analysis, the actual earnings, and the calendar on when the earnings come out.   Hamid is a long-term investor who looks for growth, earnings, and earnings validation. The old mantra of, trust but verify. He is definitely a fundamental investor like Buffet, who looks at the numbers of the company. Also believes in companies who make investments in R&D. Looking for great companies with a growing Market Cap.     Part 2   Another company Hamid likes is called Rocket Lab. Stock is $4 and they have a Market Cap of $2 billion vs a competitor like SpaceX valued at $180 billion. Just like SpaceX, Rocket Lab will be putting satellites into orbit.   Over speculation on a stock, and making a problem more than it is, can hurt a stock price. This can create opportunities, if it's a good company, can withstand the short term problems. Investors need to see through those problems, and see how serious it is. What will be the short term cost to the company.   You want to buy good companies, at a great price. Stocks in 2022 at a great price, lots of opportunities. In 2024, stock price is high. It's now just a good price even though the company still good.   A good investor can take advantage of short term volatility. An example of this. is Tesla. That has both benefited, and then sometimes been hurt by volatility. The story behind Tesla sometimes is a growth story based around EV cars, and the mystique of its CEO Elon Musk.   On the downside, when he does some controversy on Twitter, it can hurt the stock. 2023 into 2024, Tesla is facing some issues with slowing growth. Hamid believes that the story of Tesla is actually helping to prop up the stock.   Elon Musk has diversified through the years, not only is their Tesla, now owns Twitter, he owns SpaceX, and has moved into NeuroLink.   Savvy trader, you can share your portfolio. Anyone who joins can see her needs portfolio. Once you make a change on a stock, it is shared in real time.       Part 2 -  OT   When do you sell? Try to sell high, when stocks are at prices of euphoria and take some profits. Take money off the table.   For example, Hamid has been trimming Netflix stock holdings as the price has gone up. He's also trimmed some of his Meta-Facebook stock, as it had grown to 30% of his portfolio. He is even trimming Robin Hood, even though he thinks the stock has more potential to run up.   Hamid monitors about 20 stocks, and then will buy one or two.   He's a big fan of Rocket Lab, which is in competition with SpaceX and its subsidiary Starlink providing satellite internet. This is all about putting satellites into space. Curious to see if Amazon Jeff Bezos space company, Blue Origin will be in the mix later.   One book Hamid likes is Innovators Dilemma by Clayton Christiansen, that discusses the problem of disruption from smaller companies. Culture of successful Company typically is it married to their current business model and technology. Rarely do innovators innovate a second time. They become a prisoner of their current business and cannot see what the next stage is going to be.   For example - Kodak originally had the digital camera, but was stuck in their current business model, and did not become a leader in that technology.   Have to see what's going to be the next phase of some big tech companies like Google or Amazon, what do they have on the radar? Amazon seems to be moving into AWS and AI. Google with Bard is also moving into AI to get a better search engine.   It's a lot harder for a $1 trillion company like Microsoft to have massive growth. Hamid is looking for stocks that are worth multi billions versus hundreds of billions. The stocks then have the potential for 5 or 10X growth.   A division of SpaceX is Starlink. They are giving satellite Internet feeds to rural areas.   This is a disruptive technology versus companies like AMT American Tower and the cell tower business or traditional fiber optic Internet. They are launching 20 satellites per week and growing the business.         MB Host on Disruption – Show HERE       Reference Show: Create Your Investing Profile & Share It on Savvy Trader w/ Hamid Shojaee BRT S03 EP58 (157) 11-20-2022   What We Learned This Week Savvy Trader allows you to share your portfolio Investing Track Record - see how people actually invest & their results Why Software is Such a Good Business Model, Build 1x, sell multiple X VCs want to see Traction in Startups Cost of Customer Acquisition (CAC) & Long term Value of a Custer (LTV) are critical in scaling a startup long term, how much does it cost to get a customer, and how long do you keep them    Full Show: HERE     Hamid of AZ Tech Beat on Technology, Software, Startups & Angel Investing in Arizona - BRT S02 EP 37 (84) 9-12-21                    5 Things We Learned This Week...

Looking for great companies with a growing Market Cap.     Part 1 Seg 1 Public companies release earnings on a quarterly basis. Then the CEO has to conduct a call with analyst where they answer questions. This is the only public information available. It's a chance each quarter to see what's really going on with the company. Earnings information is tough to find, and you have to search for it in multiple places.  They created Earnings Hub where the information is all in one place. Can see the calendar of who's reporting earnings and when. You also have access to past quarterly calls and a summary of the call. This way you can see the information the public companies are required to file on earnings in the status of the company. Hamid is also an angel investor where you invest in startups Founders. Private investor with no guarantees. The way they typically operate, is they push out financial and sales  updates monthly or quarterly. Most startups fail, so Hamid understands anyone he invests in, could lose the money. He is basically a hands off investor. Earnings Hub is set up where traffic on the site will spike when big companies like a Tesla or Amazon are reporting. They also just launched a feature where you can listen to the earnings call live as well as do live chat with other members. Cost for Earnings Hub is $100 a year. Right now they have an intro offer where it's just $1 - one dollar.     Seg 2 They created a joke feature with Earnings Hub logo. Currently the A in the logo is a pyramid. When a stock is down, the logo will change to a

My topics come because I look for a book to buy on the subject and can't find one. I know it's supposed to be fancier than that, or that there must be some grand theory of my work, but there isn't one. That said, my readers seem to enjoy what I've written, so maybe it's fine? I am inspired by my literary heroes, including Robert Caro, Laura Hillenbrand, Candice Millard, Daniel James Brown, and Barbara Tuchman, among many others. They are all rigorous researchers—but reading their books doesn't feel like doing homework. That's what I'm going for, and hopefully I hit the mark a few times.

A great way to learn about stocks and crypto is to see the virtual portfolios of others, see the actual performance of those portfolios as if they were real, and learn about the reasons behind the creators decisions for buying or selling each holding. So go ahead, create a virtual portfolio and share it with the world. Speaking of, I have a Savvy Trader virtual portfolio myself. Truth be told, I wanted to create Savvy Trader for myself as an easy way for me to consolidate my holdings in multiple accounts into a single virtual portfolio that represents my actual investments, and I wanted an easy way to share my portfolio details with friends and family. You can subscribe to my portfolio below - it's free!   Notes:   Seg 1 Hamid has a long history in tech, 20+ years and software. Sold his company in 2020. Software is a great and unique business model. You can build the software utility one time and then sell it many times. Build 1x, sell it many x The cost is with the software development team, and heavy costs upfront. There is very little traditional capEx long term, as you do not need to build multiple physical products. It does not matter if you have one customer, 10,000 customers, or 1,000,000+ customers, all costs the same. It is a high margin business with lower expenses, and now you can manage it and host it in the cloud. The classic Marc Andreessen quote software will eat in the world There is a high bar on user experience which is why you need the best software engineers and they cost a lot of money. With those engineers you can build a great product and scale to millions of users. You will always have the cost of the team on going with maintenance & upgrades needed to the software. Software is a never done story, you're always in development. With some small start ups the founder may be the developer and now you're just talking the cost of their time and the opportunity cost. Venture capitalist want to see traction in a start up, they want the graph to go up into the right. VC are looking for the ability to scale and have a product that can play in a big market. VC is looking for the type of market to 10x their invested money, get an ROI to make it worth their time. VC makes many bets because most of them fail, and they need their few successes to be large. VC looking for that start up that can become a unicorn, as guy Kawasaki said it is unique and valuable. Question does the market or the product come first? Hamid built Savvy Trader to solve a problem. He had looked for a solution and could not find it.   Seg 2 Savvy Trader - what is your performance? Track your portfolio online Internet of investing w s Wild West, No idea what peoples track record is Get ideas or virtual portfolio to learn, can use portfolio to teach people with case study Skin in the game - where people put $ Follow investors online, know if full of crap or not, not cherry picking winners, and post with survivor bias. Hamid portfolio is down in 2022 and you can see it Long time investor in the Buffett mode Investment style - buy cos you know and understand Good valuation, market cap not ridiculous What is the revenue? Any profit? Strong financials vs market cap Investing is 10% identifying cos to buy and 90% wait, as can't impact outcome Could be years before know if investing choice was right Pandemic valuations during 2020 were way too high. Case study of looking at investment potential. Apple is a $2 trillion company so there is diminished potential to have a 10x return as it would then need to become a $20 trillion company. When a company is so large it is hard to move the needle. The entire stock market valuation is $46 trillion. Netflix is $128 billion company so 10 X is Plausible through user growth, ad revenue, and raising rates. Micro cap stocks are smaller companies with higher risk but the potential to 10x. You want to look for stocks with the potential of growth, that not have not achieve success yet.   Seg 3 Hamid owns Tesla, Netflix, FB, Uber How to think about diversification, Hamid makes 2 to 3 bigger bats in the past when is risk tolerance was higher, now it is lower so he makes 4 to 5 bets. If you have too much diversification, your returns will be subdued. Facebook stock as a case study, over the short term the market over reacts and is very emotional. the.com boom and bust of 2000 or the 2008 housing market crash, or current 2022 and people are sour on tech stocks. Netflix stock was $600 in late 2021 and drop two as low as 170 in the summer of 2022. Financially Netflix lost 1 million users or a half a percent of their 200 million user base. Contrast that the stock lost 70% of its value. It has rebounded back up to 310. Market over reacts on the highs and lows stocks are over bought of times and then oversold. Facebook was at 380 in late 2021, and now is at 100 in the fall of 2022. Seems like Facebook is at a discount? Did the market overreact or did Mark Zuckerberg become an idiot overnight? Same people bought Facebook at $300 plus and then sold it at 150. Stock analyst give buy ratings to stocks when they're at their high and sell ratings when they're at that low. Analyst seem to follow momentum. Some selling in the market creates more selling. This has to do with momentum and fund managers who have to dump losers, boat with high speed traders selling.   Seg 4 Tesla stock has seen a bomb in the last few years. Turns out the retail investor was right for a stock analyst who would recommend Tesla to be sold. Tesla has 70% of the EV market. SpaceX is building reusable rockets, a feet that even NASA could not do. Obviously Musk knows something. Facebook has 2 billion users daily and is still making billions and add revenue. When you're investing in the start up world anymore diversification versus public markets has 80% of startups fail. You need the one or two that succeed to vastly make up for the money invested in all start ups. Hamid advises founders on a limited basis. Common piece of advice is that they're going to need a long runway, and it will be difficult to raise money in the current environment. He believes there will be less start ups being created with huge money behind them in 2023. More start ups will fail in 2023. Cost of money / debt is higher. On the positive side there may be less competition for start ups. hamid personally saw some unreal valuations over the last year. One example is he was offered to invest in a company that claim their own valuation was at $1 billion when they only had $17 million in sales. Early stage start ups are not expected to have a valuation, sales or profitability. Later on though your valuation goes hand-in-hand with revenue. Expected valuations are 3x to 7x of revenues. FTX downfall was through exuberance. At one point they were rumored to be buying more Robin Hood as well as other crypto companies. Their exchange always seemed a little shady, like a black box with no info on financials, no one knew what was behind the veil. It's a common red flag if a company is churning through cash too quickly. Uber was the company at one point that had serious churn in the beginning, but now seems to be a better investment. They are profitable and seem to be sustainable. Uber customers will stay just like Netflix they're likely not to cancel. The cost of the customer acquisition plus the lifetime value of the customer is very solid. Uber valuation is 62 billion with limited profitability right now. Oddly enough it's a lower market cap than it was five years ago when I wasn't profitable at all. value investors get frustrated with tech valuations being so wide-eyed. Uber will continue to grow, as now it has three revenue sources. It makes money from the rides, the eats, and the freight division. The eats plus freight division is a little over half their income and actually more income for us the rides. Per Elon Mosk Robo taxis will be available in the next five years which will make rideshare is bigger. This may not happen in five years but likely in the future. Uber CEO Dara K ran Expedia prior to Uber so obviously you know something about running a big company. Uber followed the same story as Google did 20 years ago when they needed to hire an adult in the room, professional manager. This mirrors when Google hired Eric Schmidt.         Tech Topic: https://brt-show.libsyn.com/category/Tech-Startup-VC-Cybersecurity-Energy-Science   ‘Best Of' Topic: https://brt-show.libsyn.com/category/Best+of+BRT   Thanks for Listening.

Candice spent the majority of her career in the for-profit global consulting industry, working for major corporations such as Saint-Gobain and SAP. In 2017, she realized that the time had come for her to use her business background to benefit those who need it most. In Arizona, she found out that 50% of the youth aging out of foster care would end up homeless by their 20th birthday. A third of these homeless youth will be victim of sex trafficking. That is when she found her purpose. For the past 2 years, she has been working towards building a program, Foster360, that helps this vulnerable population navigate through the services at their disposal to help them create a successful and fulfilling life. At Foster360, they fight for youth to avoid homelessness and sex trafficking by helping them connect with services within their community. Candice's main purpose is to create equal opportunity for all youth, regardless of their background and social status. She believes that by helping today's youth become productive members of society, the tragic cycle of poverty, homelessness and desperation can be broken to create a new generational path.

Today on Gruler Nation I had the pleasure of speaking with Chad Schaub the co- founder of Bighorn Law, a personal injury firm located here in Arizona as well as in Nevada and Utah. Chad manages the Arizona team and is very passionate about his career. Before Chad became a PI attorney he worked for an insurance company and learned quickly that most insurance companies don't have the clients best interest in mind. Chad hated this side of the business because he truly wanted to help others. Chad realized that as a personal injury attorney he would be able to work on the other side and help clients reach a fair settlement that they deserve. Make sure to keep Chad's contact information handy!

What does it take to cultivate a strong entrepreneurial and startup community? No one has the exact recipe, but we know it takes passionate advocates who are willing to take bold risks, champion collaboration over a siloed spotlight, and who have a diehard spirit. Jonathan Cottrell, founder of Hopscratch and the guy behind #yesphx and PHX Startup Week, is one such person. In this episode Jonathan shares how PHX Startup Week came to be, how he juggles a growing startup, a marriage and three kids, and rallying the community around entrepreneurship through #yesphx.
