  2. Creating wealth entails establishing positive routines, such as consistently setting aside funds at regular intervals for sound investments. Financial management is a vital subject that many avoid, often leading to future regrets.

  3. Thank you so much for this video Lex but in these uncertain times it is more important than ever to have a solid understanding of how the government are still in charge of our canals and manage your finances, invest wisely and navigate economic downturns. But my primary concern is how to grow my reserve of $240k which has been sitting duck since forever with zero to no gains, sure I'm all in on the long term game, but with my savings are lying waste to inflation and my portfolio losing gains everyday, I need a remedy.

  4. Oh, October 7 woke you up? It woke me up too. In the reverse. Has nothing to do with DEI. It has to do with the aggression that has been going on for so very long. And if those kids were learning anything in school perhaps it was the truth which you are even more trying to suppress no, and good luck with that. Interesting that YOU got a wake up call, after all the lies perpetrated.

  5. The fact that people equate AI with human beings, to the extent that they think AI requires it’s own “bill of rights” is disturbing. People who believe this are dangerous.

  6. These are very valuable rules for anybody who wants to get rich. Unfortunately, most people who will watch this video will not really be able to apply the principles. We may not want to admit, but as Warren Buffett once said, investing is like any other profession– it requires a certain level of expertise. No surprise that some people are losing a lot of money in the bear market, while others are making hundreds of thousands in profit. I just don't know how they do it. I have about $89k now to put in the market.

  7. God the highest authority creates only man and woman. We lost the word of god and must restart a far away new base society. Satan stays always on top in the society and shows you the complete lost of
    all property and archievements of humanity 😊

  8. Sometimes Protecting your capital is much more important than making money. Basically because if you lose your capital, making money is much harder. ''Missing the train'' vs. ''losing your money''. There are a lot of trains, but if your money is gone, it's over.

  9. Wow Dude It was a joke. Maybe I won't come back to say more 2 1/2 hrs into the interview. but really the Harvard University thing Both sides were provoking each other.with what I witnessed people saying in k-12. what else is there to say but, it depends on the context. I saw what racist white people said to Jewish and African people in public school. I understood the context of what was said. Nothing happend to the individuals that basically told them to watch there backs for life. He called it Hypocrisy? The genocidal comments start in kindergarten and no one stopped it when i was in school. Some times people calling out hypocrisy is hypocrisy. Maybe the public and privet k-12 should be under the microscope in the same instance.

  10. This is a masterclass of media training and propaganda, it would take 6 hours to deconstruct the mistruths, half truths and sympathy baiting that Bill deploys in this. It's actually quite impressive.

  11. Goldmine Information & knowledge plus analysis on investing, financial system and Global driven companies but unfortunately Bill was not on the right side of history regarding Israel/Palestine conflict. In this case Israel is clearly criminal state murdering innocence civilians in the name of Hamas Terrorist.
