The Best Advice For Investors In 2026

Описание: Most people think getting rich is about saving harder or finding the next hot stock. It's not. It's about owning things. After 15 years on Wall Street, I learned the hard way that the wealthy don't get there by trading time for money or chasing tickers. They build ownership in boring, cash-flowing businesses that most people overlook.

In this episode, I break down the exact investment framework I use today: just three categories I actually care about, why I ignore single stocks and hot tips, and how private business ownership became my unfair advantage. We dive into why Buffett doubled his money at 20% per year while the S&P did half that, why leverage magnifies your mistakes more than your wins, and why volatility isn't risk — not knowing what you're doing is.

But this isn't theory. It's applied finance from the trenches. You'll learn:
• Why the market is more concentrated and leveraged than almost any point in modern history
• How to think like Buffett: buy businesses, not price movements
• Why inflation and AI are quietly eating your W2 income while you sleep
• The difference between speculation and actual investing (and why most people confuse the two)
• How one woman bought six pack-and-ship stores while keeping her tech job
• Why Charlie Munger said the best businesses don't require you to be a genius to run them
• The three types of risk in every deal: product, market, and execution
• How to negotiate by understanding the seller's incentives, not just your own
• Why speed and ownership are the only real hedges against what's coming

If you're tired of watching your salary get chipped away by inflation, or if you've ever wondered how people actually build wealth without a finance degree or a trust fund, this episode will change how you think about money, ownership, and what it actually takes to win in 2026.
