0:00 2025 was quite the flapjack flipper. You should have made a whole lot of money in 2025, but that's a thing of the past. We're talking 2026 in this video here today. Is a market going to do well or bad in 2026. I will share my in-depth opinion on that in this video here today. What stocks are going to do the best are going to be the best performers in 2026. I will reveal the stocks that I believe are going to do the best in 2026. and I also talk about some stocks that I would be a little careful of in 2026. Additionally, we'll talk about how to make money regardless of what happens in the stock market in 2026. We just got have a lot to go through. I that's all I have for you guys for an intro today.

0:42 All I need from you is just hit the little thumbs up icon if you could do that for me, please. Everybody that's already done that, thank you so much. Just smash a little like button and uh if you want to be here, subscribe to the channel and you want to see a whole lot of more of my videos in 2026, make sure you're subscribed. It is free to do so. Okay. All righty, ladies and gentlemen. Let's get straight rolling in regards to this. Okay, first off, understand the person that's recording this video right now and my perspectives on how the market will do, what stocks will do the best in 2026, right? I started this game way back then,08. I found this old photo of my brother and me. This was the first time we ever went to Vegas, which was obviously the place I moved to in 2015.

1:16 I've been living out here ever since. Look at they were still building city center back there. Back then, I had a $2,500 net worth. I was just a little average Joe investor back then. And guess what? Today, I'm still just an average Joe investor out there. 17 years deep in the market, always long-term focus. I recorded you guys a video two days ago. It's unbelievable, right? How to scale to $10 million plus net worth. That is a amount I hit in early 2024. We continue to build on that over the past year or so. And um we've come a long way the past 17 years. Okay? So, it's been a whole lot of fun and uh these are my perspectives on this. Okay? Listen, very important everybody understands this. If you look at how the S&P 500 has performed the past 10 years, a lot of times by looking in the past, you can see where the future's going. Okay? So, in the past 10 years, S&P 500 has had eight banger years. Banger years. We're

2:10 talking double digit gain. So, 2016 almost a double- digit gainer. We'll count it as a double- digit gainer, right? If we round up 9.5%. So, basically a 10% gain. 19% in 2017. We had 2019 28%. 2020, which you would have thought would have been a horrible year, is actually a good year for the market. 16% gain. 2021, 26%, 24% in 23, 23% in 24. And so far this year, which we're almost to the end of the year, 16% gainer. That's eight banger years. But we did have two bad years in there. Uh we had 2022 where the S&P 500 went down just under 20%. And then we had 2018 where the S&P 500 was down a little over 6%. What I'm showing you right there, that is what you should usually expect in the market. You should expect eight good years or great years. We can call them depending upon some of them are really great, right? 28% gain. Like that's quite a great year. 26% gain. And then you should expect two bad years out

3:06 of every 10 years. Okay? That's just how this game rolls. You can look back at previous decades. You're going to usually find that out of every 10 years span, you have eight good years, you have two bad years. It's usually just kind of what happens. Okay. Now, if you want to know about the best stock, some of the best stocks in the past 10 years, you look no different than Nvidia. Almost a 24,000% gain the past 10 years, look at AMD, 9,300% gain the past 10 years. Tesla sitting at a 3,600% gain the past 10 years. Exxon Technologies, they make the little cameras for police officers and whatnot, 3,000 almost 3,500% gain. And then you have AET, which is a 3,200% gainer. So, talk about some life-changing stocks the past 10 years. Now, you're going to see this.

3:51 If you've never seen this before, you're going to see this eventually, okay? And maybe this is the first time you've ever seen this, okay? But people always bring up this over time. And the reason I'm showing you this is I want to debunk a little something, okay? In regards to this particular little chart that was created like a hundred years ago, and people believe it's gospel. And basically the way people frame it is this is going to tell you when to get out of the market, when to get in the market, when to sell your stocks, when to buy your stocks. I know it's crazy, but people literally believe in this.

4:21 And uh it's something that was created like a hundred years ago. Okay. And so this a top right here, uh this is this is supposed to be years where panics have occurred or will occur again. B is years in good times, high prices, and time to sell stocks or and values of all kind. And the reason I bring up this is cuz look at what 2026 is based upon this chart. It's saying we're supposed to sell stocks in 2026. We got high prices and sell, right? And then C is years of hard times, low prices, and a good time to buy stocks, corner lots, goods, etc., and hold for the next boom. Okay? Now, the reason I wanted to show you that is because once again, it says 2026 is going to be a year you need to sell, get out, right? Well, here's the thing.

5:05 Okay? If you look at this, and I want to actually kind of debunk this a little bit today, okay, many of these time periods, you didn't have panics in the years they said you're going to have panics. You had panics around that time, but not actually in that year. And certain other times, it said it was a great time to buy, but actually the really great time to buy was several years before or after. So, for instance, 1927 here was actually 1929. Okay? Here in 1945 says there was a panic. Guess what? The S&P 500 went up 36%.

5:33 36%. If anything, that's a panic to the good side. Didn't they wrap up WW2 at that particular time as well? Here, 1981, that should not have been, you know, the panic year. 1987 is when you had an absolute panic in the market. You had Black Monday, which I believe still to this day is the worst day in stock market history. Where's 1987 here? They didn't they didn't have that one down, right? Uh 1981 was 4% down for the market. That's nothing crazy at all. Here it says 1999. Guess what? We didn't have a panic in 1999. We had started having issues in the stock market in 2000 and we had obviously 9/11 happened in 2001. So, but not 1999.

6:10 In 2019, we didn't have a panic in 2019. 2020, we had a whole big problem. Right? So, keep in mind a lot of these are like several years off. Right? Here it says a great time to buy in 2005. The actual great time to buy was 2003, not 2005. The great deals were in 03, not '05. Here, 200. And it says 2012, uh, great time to buy. It was a great time to buy, but you know when it was a even better time to buy? 2009. 2009 stocks were dramatically lower. The indexes were dramatically lower than 2012. Here it says 2023, great time to buy. Sure, it was a great time to buy, but you know what year was better? 2022 when Meta was $88. It was a better time to buy, right?

6:48 And so when you see something like this, just keep in mind like, you know, I don't think it has a lot of relevance. It goes viral all over social media and people like to believe in this sort of stuff. you know, makes them feel good, makes them feel like there's an easy way to judge the market by some guy that created this like a hundred years ago and so therefore it's a thing. You know, I just debunked it for you and we we could go way deeper than that and keep debunking and keep debunking. Okay. Now, the way I like to look at this game is would stocks drive the market and am I expecting these companies to have strong revenue growth or weak revenue growth or let's call it revenues even go down in uh let's call it 2026. Well, here's my opinions. The green check marks here are basically companies I expect to have very nice revenue growth in uh 2026. The blues are like they might, they might

7:35 not. I don't know. I'm unsure, right? I don't have one red for the top 15 most important stocks in the entire S&P 500. I do not have one red there. That's great news for us for 2026. Nvidia is obviously going to have phenomenal revenue growth. We all know that, right? They've probably already sold through all their supply for 2026. Apple's going to have great revenue growth in 2026. Uh I wouldn't say great, it's going to have good revenue growth. One from the services side of the business and the iPhones of this generation are selling very very well. Microsoft's going to have good revenue growth. They obviously have their consistent business model plus they have their cloud business.

8:10 Amazon's going to have good revenue growth. AWS is actually accelerating revenue growth right now. Plus, they have obviously the e-commerce growth. Then they have the advertising side of their business as well. Google McDougall is going to have very nice growth overall for the company in 2026. Meta is going to have good growth, nice double-digit growth. The only question for Meta is what do they grow in revenues at next year? 25%, 20%, 15%. That's really the only question. Or could they accelerate to a 30% revenue growth number? Something to keep in mind. Broadcom will have very nice growth. They're making the custom chips uh for a lot of these big tech companies. So, they're going to have great growth rates in 2026 in my opinion. Tesla, my Tesla, Tesla's a question mark. like I could see a situation where they get back to growth in 2026. We'll see. Uh Bergkshire Hathaway is just like kind of a question

8:54 mark. Bergkshire Hathaway should have growth in their business in 2026. Eli Liy is a question mark. I don't really follow that company close, so I cannot speak on a high level on Eli Liy. Walmart will have growth in 2026 as well. Their numbers actually been, you know, very respectable and the consumer could get a little stronger next year. So, Walmart should report solid, you know, revenue growth in uh 2026. JP Morgan, same thing. Visa, same thing. Oracle. There's a lot of question marks about Oracle in regards to their debt, in regards to a long-term business model, but their numbers will be solid in 2026 in my opinion. So, that alleviates a lot of let's call it pressure that you could have in 2026 if if you had a lot of question marks about, oh, these companies might not grow or something like that. Right now, you got to understand valuation and how this works in regards to the mechanics

9:38 of the market. Okay. Right now, I always like to look at a forward P basis, which whether I'm looking at stocks or whether I'm looking at the market in general. Right now on a forward P basis we're about 23. Okay, that is not cheap. It's not sky-high expensive, but it's more on the expensive side. If we're looking at a spectrum here, this is more on the expensive side. We are not, ladies and gentlemen, we are not factually in a cheap market right now. Okay, that is something you have to factor in. This is not a cheap market.

10:08 With that being said, there's some stocks that actually are pretty attractively priced. Ala Meta at a 28 FordP. Yeah, that's above the market, but they're also significantly growing much faster than an average stock in the market. Google McDougall's at a 28 FordP for double- digit growth rates. Like, that's pretty attractive. And then Amazon's actually at a very cheap forward P based upon, you know, where that company usually trades at forward P. So, those are three companies I look at that are actually still good deals.

10:35 So, just keep in mind, even though the market itself is not cheap, there are stocks in the market that are actually attractively priced. Now there goes another side of this story, right? Which are investments, current investments of mine or past investments of mine like Tesla and Palanteer. Phenomenal stocks for me, 2,000 plus% gainers, absolute bangers. But what we have to say is these companies are priced to the moon. Okay, the valuations are out of control. Even if you look on a 2-year forward P basis, 2 years out.

11:06 Okay, we're not even talking forward P. We're talking 2-year forward P. Palanteer is at 181 2-year forward P. Tesla's at 111 two-year forward P. And then Okllo, which a lot of people have been buying the last couple years. Oklo, the company's like a basically like a pre-revenue company that who knows if they ever get to profitability, it would be in the 2030s at some point in time. And if they even ever scale a major revenue growth, they'll be in the 2030s at some point in time. So you have weird situations in the market for for 2026 like Palanteer and how what that happens with that stock when the growth rates start decelerating right for Tesla and the valuation concerns there for a company like Ollo that has this big valuation and it's like who knows when and if they'll ever even make money you have that but you have other dynamics in the market where it's like okay these stocks are actually attractively priced

11:57 you know if you're a long-term investor out there right now there's going to be a big subject in 2020 26 that has started as a subject kind of over the past few months and this is not going away. This is going to keep getting talked about in 2026. It might even potentially be a bigger subject in 26 than it is in 25 and that is depreciation. You know, all these big tech companies are spending a fortune on what? All these AI chips from Nvidia and they're going to start spending very very aggressively with AMD as well from our understanding, right? And these chips are supposed to be written off over a four to six year lifespan. Some people believe it should be 2 to 3 years. Even Jensen's come out and said, you know, these chips become irrelevant really really quickly. And although they might have useful life, it's like not very useful essentially, right? And so that's a whole debate that's going on,

12:45 that debate's not going to end. Uh but the moral of the story is these companies are spending fortunes of money on these GPUs, but they're going to have to eventually depreciate that over the next few years, which is going to hit their earnings per share. So, the earnings per share of these companies will not look nearly as impressive because they're going to get hit with depreciation. Okay, just something to factor in here. Just something to factor in. So, that's going to be a question mark over the market. Now, if you look at the PEG ratio, the price to earnings growth, it's actually, you know, I would say attractively priced right now. It's not like steel deal territory for the market, but it is somewhat attractively priced. We're right around a 1.2 right now for the PEG ratio, which is nothing crazy. And keep in mind this makes you feel a little bit better about the market than if you looked at the Ford P

13:31 for the S&P 500 or even a trailing 12-month of the S&P 500. Right? Now, keep in mind if you ever see the PG ratio go under one, you're usually getting a great buying opportunity. So, for instance, in the great financial crisis, you had the PG ratio go way under one right there. Great buying opportunity. Additionally, you had it go under one right here. This is probably around 2012 right there. Great buying opportunity. You had it go under one right here. This was end of 2018, Q4 of 2018, phenomenal buying opportunity.

13:59 2019 was a banger year for the market. Uh, we don't have that going on right now. Okay, so do keep that in mind. One other thing I want to draw to your attention around pay ratio. This is a little off subject, but I thought, you know, we don't talk about pe ratio that much, so I thought I would just reference this. Sometimes PEG ratio can be high and it's actually a great buying opportunity because it might mean there's some sort of recession or something going on that's affecting the growth, the short-term growth of companies, but sometimes you get great deals even buying a high pay ratio. So for instance, right here, this is in 2009. 2009 was a steel deal for the market, but the PEG ratio looked skyhigh. You had a PEG ratio of between 1.4 and 1.8, but yet it was a great buying opportunity. Right here, this is around like 2016. PEG ratio looked very, very high, but you should have been

14:42 buying stocks left and right right there cuz obviously the tax cuts were coming right right here. This is um you know, kind of let's call it late 2020. great buying opportunity in the market in that second half of 2020, but the pay ratio looks sky-high because because obviously earnings growth got destroyed in the short term. So, just keep that in mind. It's a little bit of a weird thing right here as well. This was the beginning of 2023. You know, the pay ratio go all the way up to two is actually a phenomenal buying opportunity when you see the pay ratio go up that high usually because you something some sort of short-term dynamic that's going on that's affecting earnings growth and that eventually gets alleviated just as it did here, right?

15:20 Think about the big tech companies at the end of 2022. Their earnings growth was embarrassing. Actually, some of their earnings were going down, right? And so pay ratio went skyhigh. It was actually a phenomenal buying opportunity. So just something to keep in mind in regards to pay ratio, right? Now there's a major thing from the government side. The the big beautiful bill obviously that got passed over the summer, right? But the positive effects of that will start being felt in 2026 and then as you go for the next few years essentially, right? An average household savings are supposed to be about $2,900, which is significant for the average household, which means there's going to be more money spent in the economy. There's no other way of putting. There's going to be more money spent in the economy in 2026. The economy should in theory get better.

16:05 There's no guarantees. You Something you're going to learn in the stock market over time and in life. There's no guarantees in this game. There's a range of outcomes. I live in Las Vegas. There's a range of outcomes that can happen at all given moments, right? And if you follow sports, there's always a range of outcomes that can happen in a game. A team could have a 20point lead at halftime. That does not mean they're going to win the game. They're probably going to win the game, but there's a range of outcomes that can happen there.

16:29 And you'll put a percentage on, you know, what are the chances they can actually win that game or not. And so when looking at something like $2,900 for the average family and the economy should strengthen 26. It's not a guarantee, but if we got to put odds on it, I would put odds at like an 80% probability that the economy will strengthen considerably in 2026 versus 2025. And a big part of that is a big beautiful bill. Keep that in mind, ladies and gentlemen. That's going to matter significantly for spending power of Americans. And you might say, "Well, if they receive that $2,900, maybe they'll just invest it.

17:04 Maybe you'll invest it." But the average America is not investing that. They will spend that money out there. They'll go use that toward a down payment on a new car. They'll go use that on going and buy a new TV. Go buy some new Nikes. They'll go use that on some makeup, some beauty products. They'll go use that on little cruise. They'll go use that on some other sort of vacation. Uh, they'll go use that on some concerts. They'll go use that on a trip to Vegas. Come to my city. That's where they'll use that money. Okay? It's not getting invested. That's funny though. That's funny. We could talk about getting invested, but it's not getting invested. Okay? Now, what that also is going to do in all seriousness, it's going to bring up something very important. It's going to bring up the consumer sentiment. The consumer sentiment has been in the dumpster for 3 years now. Started in 2022. 2023 was

17:54 bad. 2024 did strengthen, but 2025 has been another dumpster ride for consumer sentiment. And even when it strengthened in 24, the consumer sentiment was still bad. The consumer sentiment has been in the dumpster for 3 plus years now. At this point in time, we're not that's not normal. That should that very rarely happens. The last time we had consumer sentiment in the dumpster for several years was guess when the great financial crisis, which makes you think we basically over the last few years, we kind of been in our own great financial crisis. The difference is we had massive unemployment here, which you did not have here, but you had massive inflation.

18:28 And there's two ways you can devastate consumer sentiment. One is have people not have jobs. Two is have sky-high inflation. So you have a job, but you feel like you can't make ends meet. That's how you devastate consumer sentiment. So the moral of the story is we should start to come out of this. And if the economy strengthens, you got people feeling better because of big beautiful bill. They just realize, oh man, there's a little more money in my account than I remember being in my account last last year, right? That's a good feeling to people out there.

18:57 Additionally, mortgage rates are clearly on a downtrend cycle, right? Mortgage rates peaked in 2023 and since then, I think they peaked at like 7.8% on a 30-year. Since then, they've basically been on a downward trend. There's been some ups, some downs, but it's clear that the trend over the last couple years is down. My guess is this will continue over the next year. You'll continue to see mortgage rates go lower and lower. It's not like they're going to drop off a cliff suddenly, but it'll just kind of slowly go lower and lower.

19:24 Right now, this is going to do something very important. It's going to unfreeze the housing market in 26. The housing market's been frozen for years now. Years. It's going to unfreeze in 2026. How I see this playing out is then the housing market starts to heat up in 2027. And by the time you get into 2028, 2028 will be back in a hot housing market again. That's my personal opinion. We'll see what happens in regards to that. But that's how I see this game playing out. For the last several years, no one's been moving. The housing market's been dead. Real estate sales have been dead.

19:55 Like back to great financial crisis type levels when like no one's moving. No one's moving, right? Which also leads back to poor consumer sentiment cuz if people want to move, right? That's a good feeling. It's a good feeling to know like, oh, I could go buy a new house. Maybe I don't want to, but I could go do it. The last few years, that hasn't even been the case because prices went so skyhigh coming out of Rona, right? And then you had mortgage rates go skyh high. People have felt like they can't even move. They're stuck. Bad for consumer sentiment, bad for spending.

20:27 And people feel they're stuck. It's not good. The real estate market matters more, in my opinion, to the to the overall psyche of the economy in the United States of America than anything else by a mile. This has been an economy driven by housing for, you know, since my parents were born. Okay? Since my parents were born, this was always an economy driven by housing. If housing sentiment is good, people feel pretty good about the economy. People go out there and spend. If people feel bad, it's tough, right? And so, keep that in mind. That's going to be an interesting dynamic that plays out in 2026 is the thawing of the housing market, which has been dead and frozen for years. All right. Now, next up here, I asked AI, "How often do you basically get four years in a row where the stock market goes up?" Cuz basically, we've had, well, we've had three straight years where the stock market went up. 23, 24,

21:16 25. Could we have a fourth year? Right? And here's what AI found. It says, basically, since 1928, so basically over the past 100 years, S&P 500 has risen three years in a row 12 times. Okay? 12 times. Keep that in mind. Historically, six out of those 11 times completed, right? cuz we're this is the 12th time this has happened, but obviously we don't know how the stock market's going to do next year. So, you know, six out of 11 of those times were followed with a positive return in the fourth year, resulting in a four-year winning streak.

21:45 This suggests a 55% chance that basically the market's going to go up again next year, which is a coin flip. So, we're now at a point in time where it's a coin flip if the market's going to go up or down, right? But keep in mind, we've had streaks way longer than four years. So if you think like four years is a max like you can't have four years in a row or you know okay if we get four years 5 years can't happen look at this you had nine consecutive years of positive returns in the 1990s and remember a lot of people are equating this time period we're in right now to guess what time period the 1990s 1990s was the internet revolution and right now we're going through the AI revolution right so that's something to kind of keep in mind there you know if the market goes up again in 26 it'll be four years in a row it's a long away from nine consecutive years in a row, right? No, I asked something more

22:31 important. I said, and this is all using Google Gemini. I said, how often does S&P 500 go up double-digit percentage four years in a row? This is very important. Why? Cuz if you look at the last 3 years, all of them doubledigit percentage returns. Could you have four years in a row with double- digit returns? Right? AI said this is actually quite rare that this ever happens, which doesn't come as a surprise to me. This has happened though, but it is a rare occurrence essentially since basically over the past hundred years. You had it happen once in the late 1990s. All right. You had it happened once in the early 1950s and once in the early 1940s.

23:10 So, it can happen, but it's more rare in regards to a double-digit return. So if you're thinking double digit return again just understand possible but I would call the chances a little more slim for double digit return again in 2026. Okay. Now next up here we have a dynamic that matters significantly to financial markets that hasn't mattered that other hundred years of data and that is Bitcoin. Bitcoin has become a major asset in the financial markets. You can no longer deny it, right? It just is. It is what it is. uh basically every big financial institution out there pretty much offers Bitcoin offerings now at this point in time. The government has adopted it and it's a big it's a major player in the market. But here's the thing with Bitcoin. If you look at the Bitcoin cycle, a lot of people in the Bitcoin cycle itself is expecting Bitcoin price to go down significantly in 2026.

24:06 Maybe that happens, maybe it doesn't. But let's say it does happen. How does that affect the market? That could get very interesting because if you had a dynamic where Bitcoin fell 50 plus percent which is basically what the bit Bitcoin cycle's arguing here that that could be oh boy that could be um quite a situation essentially because there's a we know there's a lot of leverage in the crypto market. We just don't know how much but we know it's a lot right. Um additionally you have the Japanese yen carry trade situation and you know let's say Bitcoin goes down does that affect that? Like there's a there's a wide range of implications here that if Bitcoin went down, maybe it even pours into the stock market, right? Or holds back the stock market. Maybe we don't get a crash on the market like you get in Bitcoin, but maybe you get a hold back, right? And I will say Bitcoin's acting very suspect

24:58 right now because you still have a lot of bigname people coming out and talking extremely positively. Like I just saw this clip, you know, here just a couple days ago. Tom Lee thinks Bitcoin is still going to 200,000 next 50 days. And so you still got the bigname guys out here talking about Bitcoin's going to this, Ethereum's going to this, talking it up, talking it up, right? And yet you just continue to see weakness in the asset overall, which is not the best thing when you have all these individuals that are bigname people coming out and basically saying it's going to this price, it's going to this price, it's going to go up so much, and yet no one's getting excited enough to actually go out there and invest heavy money to send it up. M little trouble. a little troubling in regards to that matter. Right now, if you look at Bitcoin over the past 3 months is down 25%.

25:43 While the NASDAQ's up 3%. My guess is Bitcoin has had a negative effect on the stock market on the NASDAQ. Not enough of a negative effect that it pulled the NASDAQ into negative territory over the past 3 months, but my guess is if Bitcoin was stronger, the NASDAQ probably would have been a stronger performer over the past 3 months. So, this is just something to factor in that I think. It's a wild card. If Bitcoin gets bad in 2026, definitely going to hold back gains in the stock market. There's no there's no other way around it. Things are just too a little too tied in nowadays in regards to all these financial assets. That leads me to gold. Gold has been the winner winner chicken dinner. Look at the three-month performance of gold. 17 plus%. It's an old school beast. I call it the Philip Rivers of money. You see guys see about Philip Rivers this weekend, guys. Grandpa hadn't played a game in like 1,800 days. Went out there

26:38 and played an NFL game. Starting quarterback. Most insane thing I maybe ever seen in the NFL. A grandpa, an actual grandpa playing quarterback in the NFL. Couldn't I was like, that's something, right? Gold is a Philip Rivers. It has been tested throughout decade after decade, century after century, country after country. It's been tested over time, right? And it's performing very, very well. Now, my overall opinion given everything I just took you through there. Okay, my overall opinion on 2026. What do I expect for the stock market?

27:12 Listen, I am cautiously optimistic on the stock market in 2026. Cautiously optimistic. I'm not feeling like, oh my gosh, we're going to tear it up in 2026. We're going to have a 30% gain. No, no. I feel like what are my expectations? I would expect like a 4 to9% S&P 500 type gain. Okay. Cautiously optimistic. There's a range of outcomes out there uh for this year, right? I would love if it's a banger year in 2026. If it wants to be a 20% gainer year, 15% S&P 500, oh my gosh, my portfolios are going to go beast mode, you know? Like there's no other way of putting it. 15% for the S&P 500 means like dramatically more for my portfolios. So, you know, if it wants to be a beast year, cool. I'm cautiously optimistic. I'm not expecting a beast year. I'm expecting kind of that 4 to9% type return for the S&P 500 in 2026.

28:12 Now, also, I would love a 20% plus crash in the market as all as well. I'm doubtful on this happening, right? Uh unless there's some sort of contagion with the Bitcoin situation. Let's say that crash actually did happen in Bitcoin. and there's some sort of contagion and major margin selloff or something like that, right? Maybe then you can make an argument that maybe we could get a big crash, some sort of black swan event. I would put it on as a low possibility. Always possible as it is every year, but I put on a lower possibility. Um, but I would love it.

28:44 Why would I love it? Well, if you follow me on X, which is always linked in my description area, you know why I love it, right? I just posted this on X. I said, "I have $1.9 million in high yield savings. What should I buy? What should I spend the money on?" Right? And um yeah, I got a lot of money around. So, you know, we get that big crash in 26, I'll be right there. Pick up stocks at great prices. Whatever happens happens, right? Now, what stocks do I think will do best in 2026? Then we'll get into how to make money regardless of what happens in the market in 2026. Okay, you ready? Let's go. Adobe. Adobe first up. Okay.

29:23 This stock has been horrible the past 5 years. No other way to put it. 27% down the past 5 years. You might think the company's done bad. No, the company's done amazing. Look at where the company's revenues were 5 years ago. Look where they are today. Look where the company's earnings per share were 5 years ago. Look where they are today. I believe Adobee's a 20% plus gainer in 2026. That is my personal opinion on that. I believe all this negativity around the stock here in 2025 will all alleviate in 2026 and people will give up on the the bearish narrative just like they did what stock Google McDougall. Google McDougall had a million questions blah blah blah blah blah and finally people gave up on it and what happened at Google took off like a rocket ship. I believe people give up on the negative angle in Adobe as the year goes along. It's not like it'll be all the very first day of the year. No, no, it'll be as the year

30:15 goes along, the bearishness around the stock will come to will conclude and then it starts to move up. And I believe by the time it's said and done in 2026, it'll be a 20% plus gainer. We'll see. Next up here, Salesforce. Another stock I expect to be a 20% plus gainer in 2026. The growth rate will start to accelerate at Salesforce. I think that's going to get a lot of people very excited. Uh I think they'll be more clear about Agent Force and what that means for the future of the business model. I think by this time next year, you'll have very solid numbers out of that and starting to show that it matters significantly. And I think that's another stock that's caught up in a very negative narrative around it right now about being disrupted, blah blah blah. And I think eventually people realize they're not and they're actually being a beneficiary of the AI wave.

30:59 Okay, 20% plus gainer in my opinion in 26. Next up, Fubo. Fubo, $2.50 stock roughly today, right? I believe the stock comes back to life in a major way because what's going to happen by this time next year is everything's going to be very clear for Fubo revenue growth, where's the profitability at, the margins, the strategy. Uh, since they just complete the Hulu deal, there's still a lot of confusion about what that means, what's the future of Fubo, all those sorts of things, right? I believe that people will realize that Fubo is here to stay and they're they're can become a a huge player in the streaming space over the coming years and the stock comes back to life in 2026. Next up, the Honest Company. It's a $2. It's a two buck chuck right now, right? I believe this stock exits 2026.

31:50 Guess where? 4 to $6 in my personal opinion. 4 to $6 is I believe where it exits. There's another stock that I don't think people understand well right now. They're very focused on, you know, some they're getting out of some businesses that basically are kind of money losers for them, bad margin businesses, and they're focusing they're doubling down the business on good opportunities with a great balance sheet. And Carla that's done a phenomenal job running the company since she came over when it was looking like it might go bankrupt. They've come a long way. And so I think the stock exits somewhere between $4 and $6 in 2026. And I think people realize, okay, they're they're here to stay, right? Next up, PayPal. PayPal. I believe this is a 20% plus gainer in 2026. PayPal. Some people are saying they're trying to become a bank, and they might. The moral of the story is PayPal's got great numbers.

32:38 They should continue to put up very strong numbers. And this is one I think people have more of a clear vision for in 2026 and beyond. And guess what? Let's say they become a full-fledged bank. The valuation's already at dirt cheap prices. It's at a forward P of what, 10, 11, 12? Where are we at Ford P-wise? 10, 11, 12, somewhere in there. Dude, that's like legacy banking area. Horrible. Horrible. And so the moral of the story is in regards to PayPal. I believe that's another one. You know, basically 2026 is a year that I believe a lot of these dead and forgotten stocks come back to life. That's what I believe. It's like they come out of the casket like the Undertaker back in the day, right? Estee Lauder Eel. Next up, I believe the stock exits at $140 plus dollars in 2026. I believe they're going to continue to show growth in the business model. The margins will continue to come up. The EPS will

33:28 continue to come up. And uh Wall Street loves this stock. They didn't have it in the last few years because the numbers they were bad, right? They got the strategy on point. Looks like they got social media back. You know, kind of understanding that on a higher level and understanding they can't just rely on department stores to sell their product, right? So, I believe the stock exits 140 plus AMD. I believe the stock exits 2026 somewhere priced between $250 and $300. We'll see where it exits this year, but it should be just over $200 to exit 2025, right?

33:59 So 250 to 300. I believe by this time next year, they're already going to be showing the insane growth rates. Uh people understand AMD is a real player and they're going to continue to put up numbers and their numbers are going to be much much better in 27 than they were in 26 and 26 is going to be very impressive numbers. So 250 to 300 exit in my opinion in 26. Nike 20% plus gainer in my opinion for Nike in 2026. The company's already started to turn around the business model. I believe that's going to continue to show in 2026 as we get those numbers out in 2026. And so I believe you'll look at Nike January 1st to December 31st of 2026 and you'll see that stock be well over 20% plus gainer.

34:43 Celsius Holdings, CE LH, energy drink company should exit the year somewhere in the low to mid40s. I believe this is a 20% plus gainer in 2026. Elf Beauty, I believe this stock exits 2026 at $100 plus. Okay. Now, an important thing to understand before we get into some stocks I'd be careful of and then you know how to make money in this market regardless. You know the thing about those stocks I just ran you through there. Okay, those stocks, let's say a lot of them do that 20% gain. I think they're going to do 30%, 40%, whatever. Okay, listen.

35:22 Those stocks I just ran you through, those don't move the market. They don't move the market. Those are beaten down dog stocks. Some of them are, you know, billion dollar market cap, few billion dollar market cap. Some are in the tens of billions. Some might be a couple hundred billion. They don't move the market. So, even if those stocks do very well in 2026, like I think they're going to do well, that does not magically move the market. If you want the market to go up 15%, 20%, 25%, you know what stocks you need to have go up significantly next year? Apple, Microsoft, Nvidia, Google Meta Amazon Tesla Broadcom those sorts of stocks. Okay? Walmart, Costco, go down the list. Those are the big dogs. Those are the ones that actually move the market. The stocks I just ran into, they are not moving the market. Even Adobe and Salesforce, if those are 20% plus gainers in 26, like I think they're going to be, guess what?

36:19 That's not moving the market. It's just not. And so that's why I have modest expectations for the market overall in 26. But yet, I'm expecting many of these stocks to do phenomenal. Absolutely phenomenal. Okay. Now, some stocks I'd be a little careful with in my opinion and 26 is these three stocks. Stocks like these that had been the big runners the past few years, stocks like Palanteer, stocks like Tesla, stocks like Oaklo, be very careful of those in 26 and beyond over the next few years. Those stocks were the big runners. They got insanely rich valuations and um doesn't really matter what happens with their business models over the next few years. I think they're got problems ahead in regards to valuation. The businesses are fine. They've got valuation problems in a major major way now at this point in time. And that makes it not to play in 2026 and beyond.

37:04 Okay. Next up here, how do you make money regardless of what happens in this market? It goes down, goes up, whatever. I'll tell you how. It's called dividends, baby. Dividends. So, in my portfolios, you know, I have a strategy, GVD. I call it growth value dividends where I'll invest in growth stocks, value stocks, dividend stocks, everything serves a purpose, right? And when it comes to dividends, I'm constantly having money pouring into my portfolios, my private portfolios, my public portfolios. Money is always pouring in because I always have a bunch of dividend stocks that are always paying me out money. And so regardless of what happens in the market in 2026, I don't have to take any profits next year. This year I've taken an insane amount of profits, which is part of the reason I'm holding $1.9 million of cash, right? Cuz I got owe the IRS a lot of money for a lot of profits I've taken

37:51 this year. With that being said, like I don't have to take any profits next year and I can still have money pour into my portfolios from all the dividends I'll be receiving from all my different stocks I built up over the last, you know, 17 years, right? And so that's something to keep in mind. Dividend when you start with buying some dividend stocks here and there, the first 5 10 years might be sleepy, but as the mounts in your portfolio gets bigger and bigger and bigger, it starts to really be significant. In 2026, I should easily clear five figures, if not multi- five figures worth of dividends received, right? Without ever having to sell a stock, I should likely make multi- multi-5 figures just in dividend income, right? I'm able to then deploy that money in a stocks out there. The market's going down, great. I get to buy at significant discounts. If the market's doing a kangaroo, there's

38:40 plenty of opportunities out there. Market's going up, I'll find opportunities as well. Whatever happens, dividends are there to help you, right? And you want to see the ultimate as far as the dividend master, right? Look no different than Buffett. Warren Buffett's company, Birkshshire Hathaway, they now make over five billion dollars a year in just dividend income. Imagine that. Coca-Cola alone, that's a position they really started back in like the 1980s. Coca-Cola alone pays them almost $800 million a year in just dividends. It's incredible. And so understand when it comes to buying dividend stocks and starting to build your portfolios, you know, with some good dividend stocks in there, the first few years might look lame, but as the amounts grow bigger, as your portfolio grows bigger, as the dividend increases come, your companies make more profits, they up those dividends, right? You hold as the years

39:34 tick on, the next thing you know, all a sudden you start making significant amounts of money. You know, if I looked at my dividend income 10 years ago, 17 years ago, 15 years ago, it was very modest. Might have been a hundred bucks, might have been a few hundred bucks, right? And now fast forward 2026, don't be surprised if I make multi- five figures of dividend income. If we fast forward another 10 years in the future, don't be surprised if I'm making six figures plus a year, if not multi6 figures from just dividends. That's an important thing to understand. Right?

40:04 Now, the other important thing to understand is think about 2036. Think about 2046. 2026 is going to be a year. It's going to be a year just as 2027 will be. 2028 be 2029, 2030. At the end of the day, keep in mind, don't get too focused on this year. Focus on what's coming over the next decade, two decades. Where's the stock market going over the next 20 years?
