JPMorgan Chase Bank NA, member FDIC, copyright 2026, JPMorgan Chase & Company. Question to Hoss? Yeah. People getting squeezed out of those positions. Nasdaq at all time, I did it. You did it. Uh, S&P is not far from it, Dow's not far from it. If you're just looking at your directory, I mean, you would know, but that's something that people don't, you know, they see it like, hey, it's it an all time I had to pull back at some point. And yeah, eventually it will. But look at the trend line before you make that decision. Look at how much money is just pouring in from 401Ks. Like in order to short Nasdaq and the Dow and ES, NECA, CoSPE, they're telling me that the trillions of dollars that are being pumped in.

3:09The 401Ks and money market funds and man, like you're trading the direction wrong. Go with the predominant direction. Look at that one chart first. Tell them that company. Tell them company. Why don't you do that? Stay tuned. I didn't like it. I didn't like it either. I didn't like it either. Yeah. Yeah. But I always say this though, it is good to have multiple different because I spoke to Troy about this as well, especially with the options. You got to have multiple things working for you at the same time. If you put all your eggs in one basket and that goes south, which any option trade can go south, then you're screwed. And you get a better basket without what I'm saying. You got to have multiple options working for you. I'm saying like multiple positions, multiple calls. Yeah. Because out of caveat, because I agree with you in the same company or not in the same company. Yeah. Now everybody's budget doesn't afford them to do that.

4:11I understand that. But I'm just saying you give yourself greater chance of winning the more position. That doesn't mean you have to have a million positions. But if you just point it. All right. If you have $50,000 and you're you're saying, OK, if I can get a green jacket and I'm going to put 50,000. $50,000 on one option call. No stock loss with the anticipation that that 50,000 is going to turn it to 500,000. That's that to me. That's dangerous. Is ill advised. Yes, especially if you don't have incredible. Like we can even talk about this one like the five serve call. He's like, Hey, I got in in the stock 169. You think my January calls are cooked. I'm like the company's cooked. Like to your point, if he would have did a Google Microsoft, Micron and spread the risk out. He wouldn't have had as much because we all have met people when they approach you and ask about the portfolio.

5:14You can feel the fear that's coming out of their energy right. You have to the same with two tech to index percent and same with features. That's why I say trade ES. Now that doubt in the bottom market. Well, because also what happens is when you have a company that a trade that goes well. You say I should have put more money in. So then the next time around you up your limit. It's like being at the table in Vegas. So now you was playing at the $5,000 or $10,000 table. Now you're playing at the $20,000 table. And so you up your limit on the amount of money that you start putting in. And you got to be careful with that too because now your strategy has changed. And you're going in with the anticipation that I learned my lesson last time because I made 500% but I only put $5,000 in this time. I'm going to put $15,000 in. And then you would have $15,000 in you down 79% in two weeks.

6:14So. You got to be disciplined with that too because once you start to say, okay, now I'm going to put larger sums of money in because of that it doesn't always work out in your favor. Yeah, that's why you got to be super strategic. So based on that, it's like it starts with the one right. So that's just take my crime when we did this in 2024. I started with one contract. Most people didn't even believe in that contract. And it was like, okay, we pulled back. We started at one 10 first call was at one 10 drop down to 83. We were down 60%. We're not moving. In fact, as it creeps back up, we're going to let it pass the threshold. If that one 10 call now goes up 50%. I think we're going to have a nice run. Right. So then you add to that. Right. So like when I'm talking about when I stack them and sometimes you'll see like these these polls are in my story that'll be like, how do you get all these calls? Well, they started hitting thresholds and I'm watching the trend. Right. So if it clears 200. Now we're looking for a two 15. Oh, and it just keeps going up to the point now where we were, you know, we were at 1100 in June. We were at 1200. But people are looking at it and they say, wait, he's in a 230 call.

7:16Well, we got the 230 call when it was sitting at 170. You feel anything? So you, that's why I wanted to make it the distinguish between how you doing it in the same company or you're doing it a multiple. So first get the foundation. I was stressed of people foundation, foundation, foundation, whether that's in ETFs or whether that's indexes. And then then have some individual equities inside that foundation. Then you can maybe get to derivatives, right? But you don't want to skip steps. If you got 50,000, if that's your only 50,000, that's it. That's, I mean, obviously that's really ill advised. But if you start to see an uptrend like we saw in the memory space, like we saw in the compute space. At Oppenheimer, we're proven because we're grounded in discipline. For 145 years, we've been building and protecting wealth through every market cycle. With precision, clarity, and the courage to think boldly beyond the moment.

12:08Let him do that. Yeah, it's the same. People ask, why don't you do the options? I'm like, once you master something, you can give up a lot of your edge and your primary thing going to another asset, even though like the charts are the same and the risk is the same. Sometimes the best thing to do is just stay dominant at the thing your best at. Yeah, I'm Kudo, so you who can do both, but very few people do both well. Stay tuned, who knows? What do you feel about adding water technology companies to portfolio? I know, I'm stupid. Be sure to like, I'm gonna be honest. No, I brought up CGW, I brought up the stock in 2020. I know a lot of people have talked about it and remixed it since then. I appreciate the question, but I think sometimes we end up searching down the rabbit hole so much for the new thing. That we end up missing on the sector that matters. I'm going to be very honest. Only thing that matters right now is tech.

13:09Everything that's doing well is the tech or tech derivative. There's no reason to even add this to look at this at a portfolio at all. I try to give the benefit of the doubt here and just say, okay, where's this question? Where's the origin of it? Where did you derive it or get to that point? I started thinking this and maybe this is the thought process. People keep hearing that number one clean water is important. There's a lack there of water. It's a natural resource, but they keep hearing data centers in the amount of water that's being used. So maybe people were thinking, hey, maybe I should find companies that are building infrastructure to make sure that we have and house water in the event that there is a shortage because of the build out of AI. I'm not sure that's what they were thinking, but that's what I might know. Maybe that was a thought, but like it's the wrong sector. We're going to be honest. It's the wrong even when people like, okay, well, AIs are destroying water infrastructure and they've switched from that.

14:15A lot of that stuff is propaganda. The ticker he's talking about is X, L, Y, the high last year was 150, 427. It's currently a 102. You got to look at the mode, the profit margin. And once again, I shouldn't be able to name 55 companies off the top of my head that are dramatically better. I don't even think they're the best in the category. So no. Yeah, I don't have. I haven't diversified to that point. I don't have anything in that. Over diversification is a mistake too. Yeah, it's tech. It's tech for me for sure. I think you're 100% spot on it's tech. There's going to be tech for the. You can have tech and water and they go, they can go ahead and head. Yes. And that's why I'm trying to add the tech component. Maybe they're thinking from the AI infrastructure. I'm thinking the AI infrastructure is going to be deleted and the catalyst for the next five, 10 years. If water is so many different things that tech comes in play when it comes to water. If you really think about it, that's actually the first water.

15:16The first type of tech is water when irrigation systems came. That was ancient Egypt. That's actually a form of technology. As far as turning salt water into drinkable water, Israel has, they have tank. They have whole factories with it doing this. They've done a lot of time. And that's a form of technology for sure. You talk about data. And as you talk about water purification. So the natural resources and technology do go hand in in, especially when it comes to water. Because this water issue has such as such a big deal right now. So it's an investment rule. Well, I would that's two different conferences. But it is the tech, I think tech and water that definitely go hand in hand. Even the purification of water is tech. That's what I'm saying. I think we're saying the same thing. Right. And we said this over and over repeatedly on this show for sure that if your business doesn't have a tech component. You have a business. You know, right. So I think that has to be a line. In fact, it's going to be.

16:16If it doesn't have an AI component in it, are you going to have a true growth company? The other thing I think we really got focus on is sub sectors of tech. Because at some point, saying tech is. Is not even going to be relevant because everything is a tech company. So now we got to say, OK, what's the sub sector of tech? What is chips? What is security? Like because we're going to get to a point where we've done it. No, no, no, what I'm just saying when people say I invest in tech, well, everything is going to be tech. Everything is almost tech now. Nike isn't tech almost. Almost now they try. Did you see that on the worst of the time? Stupid. What's going to be a decade? The legitimacy of the shoe. What is the best idea? There was a lot of important collapse happening. Shouts about everybody in Oregon. There were signs of idiocracy coming out in those ideas that they weren't going to land well. So I get it but the even in the tech sectors.

17:17There's high arkey and information. The matter a lot. And then some of them, it's like the companies who say they're AI Jason and they're not. It's like they're trying to gamify the gains. And my bigger point. I don't want people to overthink what to invest in. And like if we take this ticker X.L.Y. Off the top of my head, I could just go through banking and fintech and pick a bunch of better companies. So the answer for this is no.
