Do you want a transcript of today’s seminar?

Everything is updated on make stocks fun website.

The current standings for our Paper Trading Club

Is also on the website.


I appreciate everyone being here and spending time

On your stock development. I know you want to learn

How to generate wealth and retirement income via

The stock market.


My name is Bryan Reich. I am a successful stock investor and my goal is to become a stock millionaire.

In these sessions, I want to pass on my knowledge of wins and losses so you can enjoy the success I have today.


Last week we talked stock terminology so hopefully now

We understand the basics. –Short Recap: Patience is key. Waiting until the company you want to invest in

Hits the target price. This could take years.

I gathered savings for 8 years before I entered “all in”

During the pandemic.

DCA- Dollar Cost Averaging. If you can’t help yourself

And want in on a position, then you must have dollar reserves

Available to buy on the dip. Makes Sense?


This week we will look at the BEST way to make wealth, FAST!


By using a free stock screener, we can find great companies at

Great discounts.


Before we begin, always ask yourself,

How are these companies going to impact human life?

Will this be a necessity for daily survival? IE Is it a must?

Go back to 1980 s and the computers were on the rise.

You could not start a job and NOT have a computer at your

Desk. Why? When the internet started in 1995 was it a must

To login? In 2005 was it a “must” to own a cell phone?


Group discussion/participation


If you can predict the “next big thing” you are 20 steps

Ahead of the game. So what are the next big things?

I was up 403% after I first bought Tesla during the pandemic and sold when I felt it was “too high”. My thoughts are: I am almost x2 on a non-dividend stock in a highly competitive

Market. However, they do have a GREAT brand. People that buy Tesla keep buying Tesla. College grads want a Tesla. It has become a symbol in today’s society and they were

The first to sell cars out of a mall, first to bring electric cars

To market, first to have futuristic designs with self-autonomous

Driving. I need to do more research and see if I decide to sell

And/or buy on a potential drip or long hold and bare it out.

More on this in future episodes.



Summary: Elon Musk – Electric Cars

Now that electric cars have entered the market

Will Tesla be the market leader? Toyota, Nissan, Chevy and Ford all have an electric car line. Also, Tesla has direct competitors in Riveon, and Lucid.


How Does Tesla stay on top of this industry?

Will electric cars dominate an industry that was Gas driven for the last century?
