## Summary

This video documents the results of investing $5 daily in both stocks and cryptocurrency over one year. The creator uses dollar-cost averaging to reduce risk and shows the current profit/loss status of their portfolio, including individual stock performances and crypto holdings.

### Key Points

- **Experiment Overview** [00:01] — The creator invested $5 daily in stocks and crypto to see if it's worth it, using dollar-cost averaging to compound small amounts and reduce risk.
- **Platform Used** [00:41] — The platform used is Weeble, which offers automatic recurring investments and 5% APY on uninvested cash.
- **Long-term Projection** [00:54] — With historical 10% annual returns, $5/day could grow to $1.3 million by retirement, with $60,000 total invested.
- **Crypto Portfolio** [01:07] — The creator invested in popular coins due to FOMO. Current crypto account value is $1.1k with $662 invested. Total cumulative profit/loss is $11.
- **Dividends and Interest** [02:31] — Dividends from stocks total $993, with $261 from VO. Interest from holding cash in Weeble is $15.38.
- **Stock Portfolio Composition** [03:36] — Investments include VO (Vanguard S&P 500 ETF), Apple, Tesla, and QQQ. The portfolio is more risky and redundant but experimental.
- **Current Stock Performance** [04:40] — Open profit/loss is $109 (3.7% of account). VO is up $51.7 (6%), Apple down $65 (8%), QQQ up $2.34 (3.7%), Tesla down $85 (20%).
- **Gamble Stock: PANW** [07:09] — Bought PANW because Nancy Pelosi bought it, suspecting insider trading. Currently not going well.
- **How to Set Up Recurring Investments** [07:47] — In Weeble, go to orders, click recurring investment, search for stock, set amount ($5), choose payment method, and select frequency (every trading day).

### Conclusion

Investing $5 daily through dollar-cost averaging can build significant wealth over time, but individual stock picks can be volatile. The creator emphasizes this is not financial advice and encourages viewers to do their own research.

## Transcript

stock market to see how much money I could make $5 is such a small amount of this but the question is is it actually worth it well in this video I'm going to and show you how to set this up yourself if you want to try this out and not only
did I try this with the stock market but also with crypto so I'll go over those to check to see how much I've made or lost cuz I haven't checked in a while let's open it up oh my gosh but before we get right
chose to invest every single day AKA dollar cost average choosing to invest reasons one because we could take a seemingly small amount of money and compound it into a lot more and two so that we take on less risk the platform I
me whether the market was up or down so I didn't have to worry about timing the not produce as great a results as putting all your money in at once but old I'm just getting a start this money is going to be worth a lot more in the
in the past the market has returned about an average of 10% per year and if I keep this going retirement age then I will theoretically have $1.3 million with $60,000 invested like I mentioned I did something similar with crypto now I
crypto started taking off to invest in it because of fomo so let me show you slowly dumping money into some more popular coins I don't want to be using Weeble pay but this is the only option I have right now to to buy crypto and my
account value is 1.1k I have $662 invested and $449 not invested and so far today it looks like I've made $27 actually been profitable some of these are deposits like when it goes like
straight up like that that's a deposit since I actually deposited this it has some stats so it looks like I'm down $25 almost 26 on my ethereum investment the Dogecoin but what I have been doing with crypto is taking profits so this is
this but if we scroll down a little bit to my realized profit I have taken $52.69 of profit and then my unrealized profit is $41.97 and that's my position that are currently open so I'm down $41 on those
see my total profit on bitcoin has been $502 and then the rest is pretty much red so I actually bought Bitcoin at like 177,000 and then sold at like 21,000 kept buying and selling then I eventually just slowly started buying
more and more Bitcoin as it rose up at like 40K 50k but I've just been taking in the crypto portfolio uh anyway my total cumulative profit and loss on my crypto portfolio is $11 and as you can see I've just spent slowly investing and
depositing more money I deposited $500 that day so the crypto portfolio is not secure some profits from the stock market through dividends and from Weeble Weeble account so as you can see from dividends I've been able to make about
$993 $261 of which were from vo wait no I've made more from vo that was just one so that was the most recent one so this is holding the stocks they pay me but I mean I've only made 10% of my losses so
interest income I actually don't know what this is oh okay wait no I I get I having cash in your Weeble account they'll actually pay you so it looks like I've made $15.38 just for holding money in Weeble
sure exactly how much they'll pay you just for holding cash but I'll throw up a percentage right there per year next we have fees and others I made 1 cent from this I don't know how I don't know what happened uh an A reversal fee but I
actually made money 1 cent though and here is my profit and loss so far this year looking terrible every single month has been red but it's okay this makes it record it right now but let's look at last year's profit and loss so as you
can see I was definitely more profitable last year in March I even made a band profits I'd like to mention that I didn't invest in one specific Index Fund didn't invest in one specific Index Fund or stock I chose vo Apple Tesla and QQQ
I'm invested in are more risky and redundant but I'm just trying things and figuring it all out it originally started with just vo and then I added one I added and I added apple and then most recently Tesla and you're probably
apple and Tesla but if you're not familiar with what vo and QQQ are let me that nothing in this video is financial advice do not listen to me and definitely do not copy me I do not know what I'm doing but back to explaining so
what I'm doing but back to explaining so vo is the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF so vo holds about 500 companies and when I invest into vo I'm basically investing into all those companies but instead of investing a very small amount into all
those companies I can just invest into one one ET TF and I get the average safer than buying an individual stock but let's check out how the portfolio is to check to see how much I've made or lost cuz I haven't checked in a while
let's open it up oh my gosh wait 1 second look it it says my open profit and loss is $109 which is about 3.7% of the account
bit of an update about a week after recording this my open profit and loss is now4 $1 and on the day I made about $85 also the day after recording this and being down so much I made $100 I think it might be Tesla so let's check
in is vo so my total open profit and loss on this is $51.7 or about 6% and when I say open haven't sold yet so it could still fluctuate I've spent $814 buying the
stock and it's now worth $866 and I own $1.9 shares so when I last checked this it was actually at about $100 in profit so as you can see had time to record this video but it is the truth so let's check out my next
stock next we have apple holy crap sorry this is like my live reaction to actually checking this this one's also down bad $65 I'm down which is 8% so point I'll throw up a screenshot so I've spent $753 on Apple stock and now it's
at $687 and I own four shares so my average price of buying in is $180 and now it's at $164 per share this is definitely more on the risky side I just added this in vo the last one I showed you that has $50 profit that's probably
first I was just going to put all my money into vo but but decided to uh try we're going to have QQQ which I'm up $234 cents on uh again this has gone total cost market value all that I own 1.5 shares up about 3.7% on this
investment and you can see all of my purchases daily next we have Tesla oh my purchases daily next we have Tesla oh my this is bad down $85 on Tesla about 20% so a long time ago Tesla went down to about $100 and I was like wow I should
mistake of going on Twitter to see if I should buy and everybody on Twitter was like oh Tesla's a $50 stock it's going to go down to $75 do not buy and I was what they're doing uh Tesla ended up ripping I think it went to like 280 or
maybe even like 300 plus dollar then it went down to about like 220 and then we bad days so I ended up buying at about $180 and then putting like $5 in every day I was up a decent amount but now it looks like Tesla stock only cost $146
definitely going to hold this one out I have 2.4 shares and this is my biggest much money in it anyway let's get off so my next stock is honestly just a gamble it was pandw so let me explain to
you why I chose this stock I chose to buy pandw because Nancy py bought about don't know who that is she is very commonly accused of insider trading and basically just taking trades based off information that the public does not
have so it's something that politicians are often found guilty or accused of and she also had recently bought Nvidia and it went crazy now when I saw she bought but I thought oh it's too expensive I'm
ton of money so as soon as I heard that she was buying the stock I was like I'm not going to miss out again and it's not going so well so far and obviously I'm one as well but if You' like to do this yourself then let me show you how if you
modern brokerages offer automatic recurring investing which is how I did this is Weeble because they offer just that and automatic recurring deposits and they also offer 5% apy on your money that's sitting waiting to be invested so
account you can make money on that money that's sitting there while you wait to the only brokerage I've ever tried and honestly I have no complaints and if you the description they'll give you a free stock if you sign up but let me explain
recurring order on Weeble so you just want to go to the middle Weeble logo on here go to orders and then click recurring investment order and click search in whatever you would like to invest in like vo then type in $5 for
to automatically invest and for payment method I recommend you transfer your use Weeble buying power just so you get that extra 5% apy on your money then you invest for you for this example we're going to do every single trading day and
it it's that simple and if you like this video or got anything out of it then I'd want to see me try a buy sell indicator in the stock market then you can watch so much for watching I'll see you guys in the next one peace
in the next one peace [Music]
