Every Sunday I like to take time to reflect on what’s happened over the past week, and then share it with you…
So I get up, sit down and start typing.
Sometimes these thoughts end up being about life, other times they are on gold, geopolitical issues effecting the markets, or the economy.
Here are three thoughts for this morning:
1. If you think AI writing in Tony Robbin’s voice, generating pictures of hands with five fingers, and answering complicated programming questions is a new exciting thing, you’re far behind. The things you can do with AI will blow your mind.
There were times when AI made me think it was going to write these three Sunday morning thoughts.
But we’re not there…
The way Large Language Models (LLMs) are designed, they won’t be able to achieve consciousness.
They’re simply acting on data sets of networked, associated information…
But it is getting better at using those datasets.
For example, you can create what is called an “AI Agent,” which includes automation, LLMs, and tools (like a calendar).
You can then use the Agent to read your emails, categorize them into folders, answer emails, and then book-a-meeting with right person at the right time.
And this can happen all without you ever reading your email.
If you’re a business owner, a person who still reads their emails, or has an executive assistant, you’d be foolish NOT to get them out of the weeds and into more of the creative, people-focused part of their job, serving you and your family better.
Here are a few other ways I’ve seen people using automation and AI to make money online:
1. Instagram accounts of entirely AI generated video, voice-over, and copy selling affiliate products to the masses.
2. Men starting OnlyFans accounts with AI models following their every movement.
3. Entire faceless YouTube Channels of long-form children’s stories auto-generated and uploaded daily to rake in the advertising money on demand.
Is your mind blown yet?
2. Warren Buffett just announced his retirement as CEO of Berkshire Hathaway at 94 years old and 55 years of service. That makes Buffett the longest serving CEO among all S&P 500 owners, ever. Yet, the majority of his success has been due to one thing.
Quite the achievement Mr.Buffett has made.
Just take a look at his companies performance(BRK.B)…
If you look at the stock, you can’t say much bad about its performance.
However, his success has mostly been due to one thing.
An inflationary environment.
Buffett bought stocks that were worth more than their value on the market, but also paid dividends.
Many of these stocks he still holds today.
He acquired Coca-Cola in 1988…
American Express in 1991…
And Bank of America in 2011.
Berkshire still holds all these stocks.
All for a total of $2 Billion in dividends today.
Here’s the difference:
The average cost per Coca-Cola share in 1988 was $3.25.
Now each of those shares are worth $71.65.
And last year, the average dividend income was $1.94 per share.
That’s about ~60% of the purchase price returned.
Every.
Year.
All this was thanks to the inflationary monetary system he took advantage of.
Brilliant!
Also, oil stocks are on the way down.
Occidental, for example, which Berkshire Hathaway owns a healthy share of is down quite a bit.
They also pay a healthy dividend – one to point your eyeball now and then.
Oil royalty contracts are also great.
3. Trump was right. “There’s going to be so much winning. You’re going to stop. This is too much winning.” Everything is fine. On a side note, here’s Jim Cramer’s thoughts.
Since tariff relief, the S&P 500 has been on a role.
It’s closed in the green for 9th consecutive day in a row.
So, everything must be fine.
You’re going to say, “Stop Mr.President there’s too much winning.”
Also, the stunning, and amazing jobs report came out shining above all.
What does Jim Cramer think?
“There will not be a recession”
You know what to do.
I don’t meant to be pessimistic, but there’s room for profit here.
