if you invested at the right time in a hype stock you could have grown like a thousand dollars to
eight thousand dollars but then again you could have grown to two hundred and twelve thousand
dollars what a big difference we got a lot to unpack in today's video and in this video we're
gonna talk about the youtube hype stocks you know the ones that we often talk about here on youtube
and we're going to compare them to some growth etfs and we're going to compare them head to head
i asked you the audience earlier today in fact what stock you think is most hyped here on youtube
let's go take a look at the results here we have amc at 51 of 254 total votes and this was only
posted four hours ago gamestop at 28 tattooed chef at three palantir at eight percent and then i have
two comments here even though ten percent of y'all hit other but you didn't comment so shout out to
these two people that actually commented amazon and tro t row price so here's what we're gonna do
because i know you guys like when i pull out the excel spreadsheets right here we have the youtube
height portfolio and five different comparable growth etfs that i'll share with you in today's
video that it'll be interesting to see what actually happens when you compare these to that
five against five who's gonna win now what we're gonna do because typically and studies
have actually shown this that the retail investors are often late to the party and what that actually
means is that you and i the everyday retail investor that goes out you know we have some money
and we decide oh i'm gonna invest it in some type of stock which one should i invest in so all of
a sudden you're hearing about something going on maybe it's amc is all of a sudden surging back up
and you're like oh that one sounds like that could be an opportunity well maybe hey gamestop they're
all of a sudden shooting to the moon that could be my ticket to the one million dollar status so
you decide you know what i'm gonna throw some money into it and see what happens well maybe
it goes up and then you start throwing more and more money but the problem is you're a little
bit late to the party because then all of a sudden the darn thing turns on us and it crashes down if
you haven't been there before i have and i know some of you have and it's painful so if we're
always late to the party that's how we're gonna judge today's excel spreadsheet now late to the
party would have been you invested in these type of things right around november 2021. november
21 everything was going absolutely mad all the stocks all the crypto was shooting up to the moon
everybody was greedy everybody was happy everybody was drunk and excited and so that's when everybody
decided i'm gonna go ahead and buy in because everybody's talking about it little did they know
late to the party so what we'll do is we're going to compare first amc gamestop and ttcf and what
we'll do is we'll come over here to the backtest portfolio that we typically use what i'm going to
do is say november 2021 to today which is you know not december 2022 but up until year to date and 22
let's say we had a thousand bucks and we decided to invest a thousand bucks into the top three amc
game stop and tattoo chef so amc right here at the top in asset number one gamestop is gme and
then we're gonna do ttcf and what we're gonna do is we're gonna track this in the excel spreadsheet
and we're gonna see what this does compared to the growth etfs and by the way i'm not blowing
smoke up here you know what what i'm doing is i'm actually sharing the fact that in 2022 yeah the
market sucks i mean we're down significantly the entire s p 500 the dow jones is down thanks to the
pain and agony of this year so none of these things are necessarily going to look sexy and
green and positive but i'm showing you the real facts and that's what you need to know especially
if you're just getting started off with investing so here the here they are amc gamestop tattooed
chef let's go ahead and analyze these portfolios and then between november 21 when the hype's going
on to today here's what you ended up with your one thousand dollar balance in amc dropped out only
433 bucks you got gamestop down to 682 and ttcf at 4 45. look at the return percentages on that 56
down 31 down and 55 down 31 on game stop so i guess shout out to them because they did not
drop as much as the other two so all it is i've plugged in those numbers right here to the excel
hype portfolio and showing our loss and our total amount so same thing we're gonna do the same exact
thing i'm going to type in palantir right here t row right here and just because somebody commented
amazon i'll give you a bonus one and we're going to plug in amazon uh as you know according to this
great subscriber right here they said amazon was one of the most hyped stocks on youtube so that's
what we'll put on for this particular portfolio analysis let's analyze and see what we got so
here we are and we have pounds here dropping to 400 bucks a 60 i think that one is the top
bad dog in our hype portfolio then you got t row dropping to 569 down 43 and amazon dropping only
19 so amazon's looking a little bit better than the other two let me plug this information in now
what i'm gonna do i'm gonna throw in a little bit of a bonus here as well is we're gonna also look
at not just if you bought in on the hype but let's say you were actually playing the game before the
actual hype started let's say you were like you know what i'm gonna throw in some money into
these things before even anybody really knew about them or anybody even talked about them so a little
bit later in this video we're gonna see are these negatives actually extremely positive especially
compared to the growth etf portfolio five etfs let's get right to them and what we're doing here
because you and i right if we're interested in a hype portfolio we're interested in massive massive
growth now of course the growth is going to be dependent on who's actually more patient
you have the people that want money overnight and then you have people that are willing to
continuously invest dollar cost average be patient don't worry about the drops and just kind of hang
out and relax and enjoy life let's see what happens with the growth etf portfolio over
the same period of time remember it's probably all going to be negative because this year absolutely
sucks especially coming off the high of november 2021 very first etf on the books is right here
and this is what we talked about the other day qqq this tracks the nasdaq 100 top 100 companies
on the nasdaq exchange one important thing to know about etfs if you're not familiar with etfs is the
fact that they often cleanse themself if they're passive and cleansing means that if you fall out
as a company out of that top 100 in the nasdaq you don't get invested in via qqq it only invests
in the top 100 so right now apple is actually at the top and followed by a few others but let's say
apple all of a sudden dies and becomes not a top 100 qqq will naturally reduce its holdings and buy
into the next one and you don't have to worry about it because you own the basket of stocks
thanks to the etf but picture this if you only have amc and amc tanks there's no self-cleansing
you're absolutely and utterly screwed with qqq let's say it holds amc amc drops the ball
sucks but it's not the end of the world you have other stocks that make up that etf so we're going
to do the three-peat too so we've got qqq vgt which is vanguard's technology fund and we have
xlk this is the state street spdr also high growth fund these are only growth etfs that we're talking
about in this video today let's compare these three cats and see how they go same time period
as our meme stocks let me plug it in now again i expect these to be negative as i analyze the
portfolio let's see what we got here so we have drops on all of them as expected but not as
painful you're one thousand dollars from november 21 to now is 817 on qqq 853 and 893 now remember
don't just think that you know the stock market is a scam this is a terrible year for stocks
but if you look and zoom out for a second which we'll do in just a second you're gonna realize
how important and back to that 230 000 that you could potentially earn how sexy this could
potentially be i use sexy in an investment video all right there we go we got it all updated on
the excel document let's look at the last two we have schd this is schwab's growth fund followed up
by the final one which is spyg this is actually s p 500 growth fund specifically focus on the growth
within the s p 500 let's see what would have happened with these two cats all right same deal
same time period one thousand dollars into the schwab fund goes down to 812. 18 return negative
18 return and then the spider s p 500 growth drops to 844 15.59 return all right so here we go we got
the height portfolio totaling 2529 now keep in mind you invested 5 000 over the course of these
five stocks down here 5 000 invested you have 4219 so these boring growth etfs would have lost
money but not as much as your height stocks but let me flip this up on the head because you know
looking at this and looking at all these sad red numbers makes me a little bit sad let's flip
this on its head instead of just investing one thousand dollars during the hype let's say you
got in on this very very early in fact 10 years ago we're going to compare the last 10 years
from 2012 to 2022 and see how these things pan out you're only going to drop a thousand dollars and
you're not going to dollar cost average you're only going to see what happens to your 1 000
after 10 years this one's going to be a little bit interesting so between 2012 and 2022 we have
a 1 000 and we're going to do qqqvgt and xlk we're gonna do the growth etfs first let's hit
analyze portfolio and here's the results of the last 10 years our qqq has grown to 6244 dollars
and then the vanguard etf to 6782 and the last one which is the spider six thousand
six hundred and thirty eight positive growth that's a great thing now you might say well
ten years is a very very long time to grow one thousand dollars into six thousand dollars but
did you do it it probably didn't because ten years ago you could have done this do you have six
thousand extra bucks all right now let's look at the schwab and spider account and see what happens
not as much growth on these two in fact but let's take a look and plug them in just so we have those
numbers and now what you have is your 5 000 has grown to 29 248 showing you a positive return
and look at that difference you know having that scope having a time in the market really does help
you know compared to timing the market now let's look at our height portfolio and see what would
have happened now some of these companies haven't been around for 10 years so we're gonna do it from
the point that they launched until today just to give the most accurate information that we can
and let's look at amc first this is looking from 2014 all the way until today
you put in a thousand dollars and look what you got back 33 bucks even despite
this huge insane spike where you went up to 3 829 during the short squeeze in june of 2021 you still
didn't make as much money as you would have with the other etfs interesting let's look at gamestop
well gamestop paints a little bit of a different picture check it out your one thousand dollars
has grown to eight thousand three hundred ninety two dollars that is a return of twenty two point
two six percent and of course you could have been all the way up here to twenty thousand dollars if
you would have sold at the exact precise time let's be realistic though a lot of times we
don't you know we get so excited we're like oh it's just gonna keep going up everything's great
everything's amazing and then you turn around the next month and it's down to 6276 and you're like
damn i thought it was gonna keep going up so let's be realistic but anyway you did get a 22 return
not bad at all now tattooed chef is a hype stock that is um only it only launched in like january i
believe or december you can see it starts here in 2020 does not have a full 10 years but your 1 000
has not grown at all it's dropped all the way down to 276 bucks that is a negative return of fifty
five point six eight percent on tier has the same timeline as tattooed chef starting right here in
january 2021 and uh you can see your 1 thousand dollars grown or dropped actually to 439 bucks
and that's a loss of 40 percent now of course a lot of people might say well you got to hold on
longer then because those two compared to amc and gamestop which have been around a lot longer what
would happen if you were to hold them a little bit longer what if we look at this in 2033 well
i'll tell you what i'll do a video on 2033 and we'll see how they are compared to our growth etfs
last but not least is actually t row for some reason it says tesla i don't know why t row
is what we're actually analyzing because that's what we did earlier so t row up here at the top
we're going to do t row and this one has a pretty good trajectory and it's looking pretty good as
well your one thousand dollars growing to three thousand twelve dollars which is a ten point nine
eight percent return so if you invested the same amount of money the five thousand dollars into
the hype stock and the five thousand dollars into the growth portfolio here's what we're looking at
your five thousand bucks go into a nice incredible thirteen thousand dollars with the hype portfolio
but the growth etf portfolio beating that at twenty nine thousand two hundred and forty eight
dollars the only one that really beats this if you really look at these two is gamestop so gamestop
growing significantly at a 22 return thanks to its incredible short squeeze that really kind of
maintained question would be why is it maintaining well it could be because people are holding on
for dear life and when people are holding the stock they refuse to sell it this could be
your opportunity to cash in on some profits not financial advice to buy hold or sell anything
just kind of a simulation here and that's what we do here on the channel we simulate things we don't
give actual financial advice but if you would sell and cash those profits could you potentially grow
it more in these etfs because one thing we're not doing is we're not dollar cost averaging
that will change this game completely if you would have taken something like qqq or vgt for example
right down here at the bottom and not only did you put your one thousand dollars in and grew
up to six thousand two forty four but let's say you decided i'm gonna invest five hundred
dollars every single month here on out into both of these funds what would it look like
ten years later so we'll have qqqvgt and xlk as three examples here so look what happens
what a big difference here your one thousand dollars with your dollar cost averaging grows to
over six figures 187 212 212 that is a return of 65 63 so what a big difference here if we're
looking back here you're 1 000 and that's all you invest in that same time horizon gets you only 18
19 and grows only to 6 000. but if you throw in an extra 500 bucks a month you get a higher return
percentage and that money grows significantly as a result of you buying the highs and buying the
lows because here's the beautiful thing about dollar cost averaging as that price comes down
you're buying 500 bucks as that price goes up you're buying 500 bucks so you're buying the wins
and the losses and at the overall time horizon you end up actually calculating potentially more of a
return now that assumes that everything we looked at in today's video that past performance would
indicate future performance and it quite often never does which is why you got to be very careful
when you do your investments so whether you like the hype stocks or you like the more conservative
passive etfs here's an example for you so you can do the right thing which one do you prefer
