What To Make Of Wednesday’s Global Market Sell-Off

Published

on

The stock market witnessed a vicious sell-off yesterday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average [DJI] plunged 832 points, with technology stocks at the forefront of this correction.

The Invesco QQQ ETF [QQQ] fell 4.4% while the Technology Select Sector SPDR ETF [XLK] declined 4.9%. The sell-off was similar to the one witnessed earlier this year in February.

However, Jamie Cox from Harris Financial Group is not too concerned. Cox stated, ā€œThis was way different than February and March. In February, everything got shellacked. Even banks didn’t get hit that bad today. It wasn’t what you’d expect in a full-blown washout sell-out. To me, that was the most important piece, that this is not going to herald something worse.”

What drove the sell-off

This year has been a rather bumpy ride for investors. Markets have been impacted by escalating trade wars between the United States and China and rising oil prices. Recently, there have been concerns over the upcoming earnings season.

But the primary driver for yesterday’s slump were concerns over the rising FED rates. The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield is close to the 10-year high of 3.2%. Investors are right to skepticalĀ about a rise in interest rates as higher rates tend to restrain economic growth.

FAANG stocks routed

The FAANG stocks, Wall Street winners for several years, lost close to a combined $180B in market value. FAANG is an acronym for internet giants Facebook [FB], Apple [AAPL], Amazon [AMZN], Netflix [NLFX] and Google [GOOG].

Joe Saluzzi from Themis Trading stated, ā€œA lot of the high flyers are the ones that have gotten beat up. The FAANG stocks, the Amazons of the world, they are up ridiculous. Those are momentum-type trades. A little air coming out is a healthy thing as long as fundamentals haven’t changed. I don’t have a problem with that type of sell-off.”

Sell-off picks up speed, impacts global markets

The sell-off was not limited to the United States market alone. According to this Wall Street Journal report, the Stoxx Europe 600 fell 1.8% in early trade while the mayhem in China continued with stocks falling 6%.

Indices in Japan, South Korea, and India were also down in early market trading. Analyst Paras Anand from Fidelity International stated, ā€œThe sharp selloff in the U.S. has likely caught no one by surprise. If anything, market participants have been wondering how, in the face of tighter money, a tighter labor market and rising oil prices, the U.S. has continued to be so resilient.ā€

Earnings season important

The upcoming earnings season is critical for the health of the stock market. Investors are wary about inflation impacting corporate earnings, driven by higher input costs. In case companies can outperform market estimates, we might be in for another short-term bull run that will take indices to record highs by the end of 2018.

How Big Real Estate Moguls Avoid Taxes (And How You Can, Too) šŸ‘€

Published

on

I was looking around Google for an old article on tax strategies and this five-year old video of myself happened to pop up.

I’m interviewing a tax expert about how real estate investors avoid paying taxes in perpetuity—AND how everyday citizens can do the same thing.

(Real estate—our TEMPLE I and TEMPLE II projects included—has a number of tax benefits savvy investors have capitalized on for years, including Opportunity Zone breaks and 10-year tax abatements.)

There’s the 1031 exchange, of course, which I’ve shared with you guys before. 

Just to refresh your memory, the 1031 Exchange allows you to roll over gains from your last project into a new property TAX FREE—as long as said property is worth the same or more.

But there’s ANOTHER TAX LOOPHOLE that can take your portfolio to an entirely new level by splitting your capital gains into MULTIPLE properties.

So I thought I’d share it with you guys. šŸ’Ž

You can check it out here.

Let me know what you think. šŸ˜Ž

PS: In our next update, I’m going to break down how real estate moguls get paid from their properties…tax free. šŸ‘€

How I run a $300M+ business from the beach…(and how you can TOO!)

Published

on

Yes, you read that right.

If there’s anything the pandemic taught us, it’s that the paradigm of ā€œofficeā€ and ā€œworkspaceā€ has been shaken to its CORE.

Universities are teaching via Zoom, court dates are done virtually, FULLY REMOTE businesses are valued at $1B+, and legitimate Inc. 5000 startups are run from…wherever. šŸ“²

This is my office for the day…

I am actually running our business from the beach, typing this from here.

It’s 4:28 pm CET, which means it’s 10:28 am EST and I am CRUSHING my to-do list.

(And the team will continue to crush it while I’m asleep. That’s the šŸ—)

So how did we get here?Ā 

We launched NYCE and our mission to create 100,000 millionaires in March, 2020…just as the global COVID-19 lockdown happened. 😳

As a result, we shut down our main office and set EVERYTHING up to run remotely…

SMOOTHLY! And a system that allows us to outperform competition by 200%. (You can build this system, too. More on this in a second.)

Here’s what we were able to do since then:

  • Gained 6M+ followers across all platforms šŸ“ˆ
  • Add 1500+ new apartments to the portfolio šŸ¤‘
  • Grow to $300M in real estate šŸš€
  • 105% investor returns šŸŽ‰
  • 700K+ community members šŸ¤

And here’s the best part…

Having team members in all the main time zones gives us a 24-hour work cycle vs. 9-5/eight-hour on-the-clock performance.

This means we get 3x the productivity of a similar company. šŸ”„

Let me repeat that…3x PRODUCTIVITY vs. our competitors.

Meanwhile our project management software grants us 24-hour TEAM-WIDE connectivity that tracks all tasks and lets us know if productivity dips even a little bit.

There is ALWAYS someone senior awake. It could be Martin in Barcelona…Nat in New York…Vineet & Arif in New Delhi.

All the while giving YOU GUYS wealth hacks and daily content. šŸ”„

OK, so how can you do it?!

Well, the first step is to have an actual side hustle you’re launching. Not just an idea, a validated business.

MAJOR KEY: Do NOT spend money until you’ve made your FIRST DOLLAR! šŸ—šŸ—šŸ—šŸ—

(You can catch a replay Business Launch masterclass here and see TRIBE member Nessa launched her business on the spot and got her first $45K client shortly after.)

One of the easiest ways to start is with Airbnb—you can start that in 10 minutes. Literally. (Here’s a guide if you need it.)

Once you have your business, you build a virtual infrastructure (you really just need two softwares, which are FREE), manage the team accordingly and run the business from there.

I’m gonna put together a step-by-step video breakdown this weekend inside the new TRIBE U on the FIVE key things you need to do this for YOURSELF. šŸ’µ šŸ’Ž

From what software to use, how to build a team, how to keep.

In the meantime, drop a comment if you’re ready to build some wealth and any questions if you want more…

Let’s get to work. šŸ™Œ

PS: If you can’t be bothered with video and just wanna get to work, we’re hosting a TRIBE U workshop that will help you get this process started on the spot. It’s $479 $49. šŸ”„
