The #1 Investing Mistake I See People Make | The Upgrade w Joe Adevai #010

Pastor Joe goes solo again with a raw, no-holds-barred talk about stocks, investing, and everything he learned from over 20 years on Wall Street. From counting stock certificates in a locked vault at Thompson McKinnon to making $300,000 in a minute trading crude oil when Saddam Hussein invaded Iraq, to losing almost everything and having a heart attack from the stress of day trading, Joe has seen every side of the market. He breaks down the four main ways people try to make money in stocks: long-term investing, swing trading, day trading, and options. The numbers are brutal. Only 1 to 5% of day traders are profitable and over 90% of options expire worthless. Joe shares what he wishes he knew earlier, why he tells everyone to just dollar-cost average into the S&P 500, how $1,000 in Apple 20 years ago would be $130,000 today, and why compound interest is the real cheat code. He also gets personal about how pride, FOMO, and the "evil eye" of quick money nearly destroyed him more than once. If you've ever thought about getting into the market or you're already in and bleeding money, this one could save you a fortune. It's only up from here.
