today we're gonna be talking about three different stocks that i think every sneakerhead should
consider buying i'm gonna be going over different stats current market news and why i personally
like investing in these companies and if you didn't know by now my name is dj and this is
the dna show on this channel i love talking about sneakers and how you can turn your hobby into a
hustle and really profit off of this and turn it into more than just shoes so if you haven't
already consider subscribing and joining the fam i'm excited to get into this video and i hope you
guys are too first up we have apple and i'm pretty sure a lot of people know about this company the
current market value of this stock is at 161.79 and the 52-week range is from 122 to 182 one thing
that i do want to mention to you guys as well we're not looking into day trading or anything
like that i'm talking about more investing and for the long haul and how we can hold these stocks
to potentially change our futures 5 10 or maybe even 20 years from now current market cap is 2.64
trillion dollars and apple is one of the biggest companies in the world over the past year we have
seen around a 20 percent growth in the stock and over the past five years over 350 percent
so like i was saying before we're looking at the longer picture 5 10 maybe even 20 years from now
and just based off of the past five years things are looking good their current pe ratio is 26.9
and their eps is 6.01 if you're looking to make a bunch of money off of dividends this is not
going to be the stock for you on that aspect luckily they do have a dividend so you will get
something but at the end of the day you're going to see a lot of your gains from the growth and
not really the compounding from the dividend but don't get me wrong i'll take anything i can get
now looking at the numbers on the screen from the net profit margin the return on equity or the 12
month revenue we can see that apple is definitely in a very good position and i don't see them going
anywhere anytime soon now why does this have anything to do with sneakerheads let me explain
i'm pretty sure everybody in there mama knows about apple and when it comes to their products
a lot of people have their phones their tablets their laptops whatever it may be they use it but
when we think about sneaker heads what do you do to enter on sneakers app or other different
things when it comes to posting on instagram or something like that you need a phone and
what apple has that for you right so why do i think this is valuable to sneaker heads simply
because we use this to buy sell trade sneakers all the time why not invest into the product
that we're actually using that's helping us make money when it comes to those different things
whether it may be growing our business or just copying the latest pair of shoes that just came
out so when i think about the sneaker industry as a whole and all the success of buying and selling
shoes there's typically an apple device involved somewhere along this process and you might have
a windows or a droid but at the end of the day we know apple's pretty much everywhere there's
definitely been a lot of innovation with their company and acquiring other businesses along
the way as well so i'm sure they have a lot of cool things for the future and i'm excited
to see that apple car if that really comes out i might have to cop one but i know that's a little
bit off topic it's not really fully related to sneakers but again at the end of the day
as i started to realize a little bit more apple is definitely a vital key when it comes to the
sneaker game as well next up on the list we have nike nke is the ticker and the reason why i chose
this one over adidas in particular is just looking at adidas over the past five years
yeah not really my cup of tea and you know what i'm saying i'm just a nike guy but when we look at
the actual numbers i think this will help you make a little bit more sense when it comes to actually
investing into the company and into the brand but first i want to talk about why you should buy nike
stock simply because we're sneaker heads obviously we like to buy these products but at the same time
we end up never buying or investing into the company that we're giving all our money to and
yet sometimes we may or may not make some money off of the sneakers by reselling and doing all
that work but why not have a little bit of money on the side investing into the company that you
love so much so for me one way to look at it from a sneaker head perspective is say for example a
sneaker releases for 170 dollars aka aerojordan 1 and say for example you strike out on that sneaker
you wanted to get it you were willing to pay for the shoe but you didn't get the shoe so that
means what you would have actually spent that 170 dollars now you could also take that 170 if you
take a l on a sneaker and take that and invest it into the company and it could potentially make you
more money in the future and you could be sitting on another nest egg on the side which is something
we talk about more in the hobby to hustle program in the dna fam but i'll talk about that a little
bit later in the video so my justification for buying nike especially before we get into numbers
simply is if i love it so much and i'm pouring all this money into this brand into this company
and it's not making me something else why not get a little bit of an ownership stake
into that company into that brand yes it might be a very small stake into that company but to
know that you own some shares of a company that you love so much and spent so much money with i
definitely feel a lot more comfortable when it comes to that aspect of the sneaker game
because basically if i put my money into it and somebody else buys some sneakers from nike
and now nike continues to grow their business what does that mean i'm making money every time
somebody else is purchasing from nike yes i know it's just a little bit and everybody's going to be
yeah i get it bro but at the same time let's have a little bit of ownership than none at all and
that's another thing this video is probably not for everybody and i completely understand that
this is more of a just get the conversation going trying to get you guys thinking outside the box
and understanding there's a lot of ways to invest into sneakers or around the company
or the business and hopefully this can help more people get into buying stocks and learning
more about it and i know we have a lot of people that are very interested in this topic
and if you guys want to see more videos i'll try to make more stuff for you guys as well
and that's why i have a special challenge for all of you that are watching this video so make
sure you stick around to the end of the video for the challenge information and the winner's gonna
be getting the choice of a free pair of sneakers or me purchasing them a stock for their portfolio
so again i'll talk about that later in the video as well now let's get into the numbers real quick
and pop some stuff up on the screen for y'all so as you can see right here from the past year
there has definitely been a lot of ups and downs and nike is essentially at the same spot it was a
year ago but let's see how they've done over the past five years their stock is currently sitting
under 130 but at one point they were almost at 180 just six months ago so again like i talked
about with the big picture looking at the five years right here we have almost 130 percent gain
just over the past five years when it comes to the nike stock so imagine buying a pair of sneakers
adding them to your collection and then buying more and more and more and more sneakers over
the years and the next thing you know you're like damn i've been collecting shoes for seven years
well imagine you bought some stocks at the same time and was doing the same thing along the
process you would have stocks over the past seven years now you could potentially have a really good
gain on your money as well so your shoes went up in value and your stock went up in value i've
been collecting for over 15 years now i wish i would have known that back then again i wasn't 18
when i first started collecting but that's a whole other topic because i could have had somebody else
investing for me and then had it yeah i know i know i understand all that stuff but either way
yes i get it it would have been nice if i would have started earlier so what i'm telling you guys
is time in the market beats timing the market so looking at the numbers right here yes obviously
this is not going to be as great as apple but at the same time i definitely see light at the end of
the tunnel i'm excited to continue to invest into the company simply because i feel like they'll
definitely be around 10 years from now to say the least now when it comes to new things that
nike has going on as well we recently saw them launch their nft and that thing is hidden for
like ten thousand dollars so just think about that they're now getting into web three and considering
those options and they have a lot of options when it comes to that world so when it comes to the
digital side of nike there's definitely gonna be a lot of innovation in that realm as well now third
on the list is going to be your safest bet and i wanted to make sure i always throw something
like this in here on the list as well because not everybody wants to be aggressive investing into
just one stock or doing all their research and everything like that and i completely understand
so that's why i'm recommending spy and this is the s p 500 etf this is currently sitting around 426
dollars and that is completely fine if you're like oh i can't get into it because now we're in an era
of all these different apps from robinhood m1 you name it again if you guys are interested in those
apps and you haven't bought stocks before i'll make sure i got a link for you guys down below in
the description if you want to get signed up and set up i personally use robinhood and m1 i really
like those i use some other ones as well but i think those are some good uh beginner level stock
buying kind of things to use and different stuff like that when it comes to building your portfolio
so what i mean with that is they have fractional shares which you can actually just put in like
100 bucks or a dollar or five dollars whatever you decide to invest into this etf and that way
you don't have to pay the full 426 dollars to own a full share but you can still invest
into the company and slowly work your way up now when it comes to spy and their current holdings
some of their top holdings are going to be in consumer cyclical financial services health care
communication services and technology and here's a list at their top 10 holdings that they currently
have right now and the number one on their list that they have in their portfolio is apple this
is also another way to kind of hedge your bets a little bit if you decided to invest into apple
individually and into this etf to make things a little bit more safe surrounding yourself with a
lot of other successful businesses now going down the list real quick we can see microsoft amazon
facebook google berkshire hathaway tesla nvidia and jp morgan chase i'm pretty sure you guys
have heard of all those businesses and that's why they're in the top 10 of the s p 500 because they
always want to make sure they got the strongest businesses to give you guys the safest investment
now when it comes to etf you're not going to typically have these crazy gains like we may have
seen on apple with 300 and something percent or something like that and growth over the past five
years but what you can guarantee is consistent growth and a nice return on your money now taking
a look at this next chart right here when it comes to the past 20 years when you take a look at 2021
right here you have almost a 30 gain and in 2018 2008 and 2002 which everybody knows the recession
different things like that which is typically going to happen we understand that there's always
going to be some correction throughout the years but over the past 20 years there is definitely a
lot of green and sometimes even a 30 gain just in one year so now imagine growing 30 this year 18
this year 20 that year another 11 the next year boom boom boom boom and it starts to compound
over and over and over that number gets bigger and bigger and it's exponential over time so the
longer you're in the game the more money you're gonna make again like we said earlier time in the
market will always be timing the market now i'm sure you guys are wondering right now how does
this relate to the sneaker game again like i said earlier when it comes to looking up the latest and
greatest shoe or watching this review or whatever it may be this is all powered by google right and
google is one of the holdings in smp apple is one of the holdings you name it all these other
companies the top 500 companies everything that we typically use and all the crazy brands and all the
stuff that's going on around us that's related to whether it be shipping the product or getting it
into the store or you receiving however you want to cut it it is always involved through this and
that's how we're able to secure our sneakers and google search when the shoe is coming out or watch
this youtube review owned by google so all those different things play factors when it comes to the
shoe game and i definitely think this is a very nice security blanket and a safe way to invest
your money when it comes to the three stocks that i mentioned in today's video so now that we got
through those three stocks i want you guys to give me your three stocks this is going to be
the challenge what you need to do is click on the link down below or the link in the description
join the dna fam because this is the only way you're going to be entering into the challenge
once you're in the dna fam all the members are already in the dna family you know what's up but
click on the challenge link you'll see it right here on the screen accept the challenge and then
make sure that you write down three stocks that you think are good investing into doesn't have to
be sneaker related at all just three stocks that you would recommend and make sure that you give a
nice little description about those three stocks and why you think they're worth investing into
this is definitely a challenge that i'm excited to see everybody enter into and i'm excited to give
away a free stock or a pair of jordans whatever you decide we're going to pick the winner inside
of the live community but i want to do this simply to open up your mind and think about a little bit
more outside of the box than just sneakers and how these other things play a factor in our lives when
it comes to purchasing these sneakers that we want and the company that actually owns youtube and how
we can invest into things like that and thinking a little bit more broad and how we can set ourselves
up for the future and again we talk about way more of this stuff in the vip mastermind and
