Not Me, But You!
Welcome to Not Me, But You! This is likely one of the most ironically titled podcasts since the focus is designed to be on the podcast listeners rather than the podcast creator. I spent half of my life as a school administrator and I want to share with you what I've learned about education, teaching, learning, reaching your goals, attaining your dreams, developing relationships, encouragement, motivation, business, income, and money. My desire is to shine some "psychological sunshine" onto your thinking. I believe it's possible for you and me to attain our dreams in life. But often, many of us need a good teacher, a good mentor, and a good cheerleader in order to help us along the way.
I am confident that you will learn some things from me. But more importantly I want to learn something from you. I will share what I'm passionate about. But I also want to discover what you are passionate about. And by listening, you will discover how to set goals, how to track goals, how to achieve goals, how to select a good "guru" or mentor or teacher or advisor, how to make money and save money. And most of all, I want you to discover what is your most valuable asset and how to gain freedom in your life. (Answer: your most valuable asset is your TIME). How do we do that? By buying and holding assets. But we need to learn which assets are best for us. You can become wealthy by pushing buttons on your phone!

If we don't panic sell and if we are patient, the markets will usually reward us. Also, good habits like eating a healthy diet and getting enough consistent exercise will reward us over time. Getting proper rest is also equally important. Even God rested on the 7th day(That's what I believe). You are free to choose what you believe. In the same way, with our investments, being consistent, even when markets are down, can reward us over time.
ULTY even though it did a reverse split, things didn't change much. If you panic sold, then you very likely took a big loss. I did not sell even ONE share of ULTY. I waited for the reverse split and I monitored the dividend payout. Why? Because my investment goal with ULTY is ONLY to get dividends. It is still paying me a weekly dividend. So I'm good!
I own ULTY INSIDE of each of the THREE types of accounts we speak about...1)Regular brokerage account, 2) Traditional IRA account, 3)ROTH IRA account. I take 1/2 of my dividend money from HIGH yiled/HIGH RISK ETF's like ULTY, and I put that 1/2 into something LESS risky. Why invest in something like ULTY to begin with? Answer: Because the yield is so HIGH. Yield at the time of this recording in December 2025 is 136%!! Where else can you invest money in life and get a return like that? And the ULTY fund invests in stocks like Google, Amazone, Palantir etc. Those are good single stocks to own separately.
A little knowledge, meaning INCOMPLETE knowledge can by dangersous to us as investors. Resist the urge to panic sell. Do NOT base your investment decisions based on EMOTION alone. My #1 goal as an investor is NOT to invest for growth, it's to invest BUILD cash flow.
Have courage today, to pick one thing, and work on your dreams. We will talk again soon.

I'm not a financial advisor. This podcast is for education/entertainment purposes only. You will need to do your own research and accept responsibility for the results of any money you choose to invest. I love using Schwab.com to buy/sell stocks/ETF's/closed end funds/options. Schwab has a very user friendly app/website and their customer service is excellent. I can easily get to speak to a human being whenever I have questions.
