get down your booty
where you gonna come to the slide come on at how tall this water is it's never this high
this is this is the king tide that's doing this it's usually sand all right here in this area
just like a dry marsh now all of a sudden with this king tie this water it's like a
foot deep so we've also been working through the busy toddler playing preschool curriculum
and the kids love it it's all hands on and it's based off of playing what did you guys make
you made pigs where do pigs live
come back
oh
so we just wanted to show you some really cute videos of the kids they always request michaela
says i want to take some cute pictures and pretty pictures of me and it's always snapchat we don't
use snapchat but only for the purposes of the filters okay guys now let's take a look at some of
the stocks we've been buying for a million dollar stock portfolio so meta platforms inc previously
facebook develops products that enable people to connect and share with friends and family through
mobile devices personal computers virtual reality headsets and in-home devices worldwide if you
look at the snowflake analysis you can see that meta it's going to take me a while to get used
to saying that facebook is looking really good in past performance financial health and also growing
on the on the value side now if you look at the one year chart you can see that meta platforms is
up 20 over the past year and also you can see that it's recently gone uh taking a 20 hit from the
the previous all-time highs we like that it has a wide economic moat a 10 debt to equity ratio a 19
long-term growth a 32 return on common equity 0.6 forward peg ratio and a 22.44 forward p e ratio
so what we don't like about meta or facebook in terms of us we'd like to see a bigger margin of
safety and there's 178 five-year return which it sounds like a good thing but for us it's not
as high as others that we're investing in or on our watch list there are rebranding risk with the
transition from facebook to meta and then there's also data privacy and other issues so alibaba
baba i think that's right okay alibaba group has challenges of saying the word the word alibaba
alibaba group provides technology infrastructure and marketing rates to merchants brands and
retailers to engage with their users and customers in china and other countries enough for the
snowflake analysis you can see that alibaba looks strong on the value side and in financial health
on the one year chart you can see that alibaba is down quite a bit they're down almost 36 percent
in the past year you can also see that from the previous all-time high alibaba is down
57 what we like about alibaba is that it has a wide economic mo it has a 19 debt to equity ratio
and just a reminder according to warren buffett we should look for companies that are 40 or less as
far as debt to equity ratio goes so 19 looks good for alibaba and then 17 return on common equity
that speaks to the management and the quality of the return on the investment that they get
on their investments and then there's a 17.26 forward p e ratio and we usually look for that
to be as close to 15 as possible so that's looking pretty good it has a sufficient margin of safety
and we look for that to be around 40 is preferred and then we'll make adjustments depending on the
company and just depending on the situation also we feel that this company is undervalued
and the company itself is very diversified it has a lot of different ownership and different
technology and just a diversified asset in itself so what we don't like there are risks with the
chinese government the risk of de-listing there's a 69 5-year return and again for us we would like
to see that a little bit higher according to like our other stocks that we have in our
portfolio there's a 10 long term growth compared to amazon there's around like 30 so with the risk
that's involved we like to see that higher as well and then there's also rising competition like
jd.com berkshire hathaway engages in the insurance freight rail transportation and utility business
worldwide if you look at the snowflake analysis you can see that berkshire hathaway looks strong
financially and then also in past performance a little low in the other areas though for the
one year chart you can see that over the past year berkshire has gained almost 25 what we like about
berkshire hathaway they have a wide economic moat they have a 24 debt to equity ratio a 12 long term
growth a 6.12 p e ratio which is quite low for now they're a well diversified company in themselves
they have over 50 different companies that they own equity stake in i think they're up to maybe
10 of each company like apple for example they have a 24 return on common equity which is great
also we we really like and we follow and kind of been mentored by warren buffett and charlie munger
so we consider them great assets to berkshire hathaway and the leadership of that company
they also have a long track record of success and beating the market i mean this is phenomenal
pretty much the best you can get in the business and on the other hand what we don't like there is
warren buffett's age he is 94 maybe yeah i mean and then charlie munger i think i saw he's like
98. and then 41 percent of the stock that they have the equity in is allocated to apple yeah so
that's a risk just having that much of the money in one right in one company so the next top stock
to buy now is dd global dd global is a mobile ride hailing platform like uber in china brazil mexico
and other countries for the snowflake analysis you can see that dd looks great on the financial
health side and also in future growth now for the one year chart you can see that dd global actually
ipo'd earlier this year i think it was in june and you can see that they are down 46.55 percent
for the year from all-time highs when they initially opened uh they're down 60 percent so
not a great looking chart but i think it does goodbye yeah it presents an opportunity
so here's what we like they have an 81 long-term growth which is fantastic
they have a sufficient margin of safety by this point given that their stock is down 60
from the all-time highs it's in the chinese market and you guys all know how big the
chinese market is and the potential for that in the future once they get their economy
sort of straightened out we're also familiar with uber's success we know how they how they started
in the us and how they've progressed we also know that the artificial intelligence field has a lot
of growth potential and also the ride-hailing services in general and what we don't like about
dd it was like jared mentioned before it ipo'd on june 30th of this year 2021 there's also the risk
with the chinese government again like alibaba the chart performance like you saw before in
the one year on your chart and then there's just many unknowns with it just being such a new stock
so the last one we have here for you guys is activision and activision blizzard develops and
publishes interactive entertainment content and services in the americas europe the middle east
africa and the asia pacific now for the snowflake analysis you can see that this one actually looks
pretty good it's almost actually a snowflake or a circle it's a little lacking on the future growth
side unfortunately but all the other areas look good it even offers a dividend which is rare for
a growth type company like this good value past performance and financial health now for their one
year chart you can see that activision blizzard is down almost 12 percent in the past year and
from the previous all-time high you can see that the company is down 38 here's what we like about
activision so they have a narrow economic moat a 21 debt to equity ratio a 17 long-term growth a 17
return on common equity and a 0.49 forward peg ratio a 17.48 forward p e ratio and we believe
at this point they do have a sufficient margin of safety to start investing and then what we don't
like about activision there is competition like ea sports and take two there have been
executive departures that have been created release delays that have been given negative
headlines to the company so thank you so much for watching our video all the way to the end
