    He's definitely a good salesman. I watched him a lot for a year or so but eventually got tired of him. Luckily I never actually followed his investing advice. He's just all over the map, probably has ADHD or some other disorder. After he posted his DUI video and was basically making a joke out of it and not admitting he messed up I stopped following him. It showed his true character. I feel bad for his wife and kids because I could definitely see him crashing down and ending in bankruptcy but who knows I guess.

    Back in very late 2021 I still remember watching him on his UA-cam-channel, making fun of those people who said there would be a substantial drawdown in the markets due to rising inflation. He was laughing at those who predicted rising inflation and was 112% sure it was just transitory. When the markets then started to fall a few months later - suddenly he had turned 180 degrees and then he wanted people to believe that he had said all the time that the inflation wasn´t transitory. He just isn´t very trustworthy.

    Great video. After losing money myself in several of his stock picks, I've resigned to the fact that I watch him for entertainment only, he is the absolute worst at stock picking. Although I would listen to him regarding real estate, in which he is an expert in. Real estate, yes; stocks, no.
    To be fair, on the TTCF pick, he did say to get out of that well before it went bankrupt. Probably around $15 a share, he was already against that stock. So it's actually very unfair to fully discredit him on that pointing out that it's now pennies a share. And if you're going to point out his ETF, you should mention that it has outperformed the market significantly both year to date and since inception, a result of timing, really, but still.

    You may need as much as $2.6 million to maintain your current lifestyle due to inflation, which will continue to be impacted by high inflation, lower market returns or value projections, and stagnant wages. Achieving a secure early retirement may be more challenging than ever.

      An obvious investment approach to a recession is to buy stocks in companies that are likely to have steady demand even in a recession. Typically, these are major consumer goods, utilities and healthcare companies. Of course, this kind of decision is not for the average person to make and an investment advisor is highly recommended.

      You're right! These factors certainly play a role when I'm considering whether or not I should buy a stock, but I never buy a stock based purely on these factors. I always seek the advice of my financial advisor, who has helped me earn more than $300,000 in a diversified portfolio that has experienced exponential growth.

But ofcours he is a terrible stock picker. He is very good at talking. But he spends so much time on UA-cam and real estate that he does not have time to analyze stocks as is needed to be a good stock picker. By the way, you could make the same video about Jeremy Lefevbre or Financial Education. He is just as horrible an investor as MeetKevin.

He produces tons of content that serves his current subscribers and anyone looking for economic updates and is actually really intelligent. (I’ve bought his courses and subscribed so maybe I’m bias.

      If you take a specific period of time where we've been on a tech bull run, anyone can look great. That's not how investments are graded. The awful picks on the other hand, once fundamentals are permanently broken, can be judged as failures - all of which aren't on his ETF, which further proves he screwed his subscribers over.

    • @BlakeCannonOxford
      @BlakeCannonOxford 10 місяців тому +2

      I can respect that, for sure. But the same goes for other famous intelligent hedge fund managers during the crash. Following MeetKevin a while, he also told everyone he was dumping many of his stocks before everything started crashing in multiple videos. I’m not saying follow his picks and you’ll be rich but I am saying he didn’t long term hold these and even states he’s more of a swing trader. In this instance Cathy Wood would be considered someone who “screwed” her investors. Even Ray Dalios all weather portfolio performed terribly during the crash due to bonds getting demolished. Kevin didn’t hold these stocks and mentioned that to the public when he sold all. Then he got called a “flip flopper” which is what a swing trader is. But anyone blindly following “just a random guy on UA-cam” into stock picking is 100% gambling. People need to start taking responsibility for their actions and being responsible for their “investments” otherwise we all need to start suing every state every time we lose the lottery for selling us the dream of winning. At some point we have to start blaming ourselves.

      @@BlakeCannonOxford The difference between the fund managers is they've already had portfolios that people can invest in directly and if you lose money that way, by all means, blame the fund manager if you wish. Kevin on the other hand, up until his ETF was established, had essentially zero consequences. It was the opposite - pick companies with broken fundamentals and get rewarded.

  • @Kentama
    @Kentama 10 місяців тому +27

    To be fair, Kevin isn't really an investor, i.e. a long-term investor. He's more like a daytrader, so his opinions and investments constantly shift over time. Actually, he angered a lot of his audience when he sold off a lot of his portfolio right before the market took a dive, because everyone assumed that he would never change positions on his previous "sure-fire" recommendations --- so, I don't know that it's totally fair to judge him right now based off the state of his older investment recommendations. That said, the last I heard, he had jumped back into the market a bit too soon, and I think he said he had ultimately broken even (?) with his stock investments, so he's for sure not that great of an "investor", though maybe not as awful as this video probably makes him out to be.

He is one of the most transparent youtuber around, if you subscribe to his courses. He post his positions whenever he buy/sell, even if he made a wrong bet and lose money.
    For those who are scolding him, I would like to ask if you all actually subscribe to his courses and see him post his stock trades. He tell ppl to exit on the bad trades before it got worse. Do understand that stock fundamentals change, and so does your thesis. Be agile and don’t be rigid with ur investments. He does provide the reasons if he flip flop and I think that’s being fair enough to his followers
