CHARLES PAYNE: So we know historically October, the most volatile month for the market, but also the month that sees that September weakness morph into a launching pad for a year end rally. And it looks like that may be happening this week. I want to bring in the market bros Scott, Martin, Rob Luna and before we even talk about that, both of you guys are very passionate about getting people into the stock market. In fact, Rob, I was reading your website today and something struck me quote. My mission is to mentor anyone who is willing to build and put in the hard work to secure their own business, invest in their future, for their future. You know, I think that’s the biggest hurdle, right? People now you kind of rely on social media. You get these tips. We call them water cooler tips. So it’s easy to find stock ideas, but really, you got to put a little bit more elbow grease in there. Isn’t that true?

ROB LUNA: Yeah, I mean, that’s exactly it, Charles. And especially when you look at our community being a Cuban-American yourself, African-American, the numbers are horrible. Charles Less than 10 percent of Latinos are invested in the market. 13 percent of African-Americans in my academy minorities represent over 75 percent. I’m really proud of that. We need to start educating these people. There’s a lot of wealth that’s being built and created in this market. But people need to get in, but they need to spend the time to do it the right way. It’s not on chat boards, it’s not reading news clips. It’s really understanding how to analyze, manage risk and invest in good long term quality companies.

CHARLES PAYNE: And of course, Scott, we’ve had this record amount of money pour into this market. So these new investors are getting in there. And this is one of the biggest tests the last few weeks for them. What is the key thing? Maybe they should take away from it that they should understand?

SCOTT MARTIN: I like the term hard work Charles and Rob has been great at that mantra. His whole career and the hard work for me working with clients too is the emotional aspect. I mean, you talk about the new investors. Charles, Rob talks about some of the minorities that need to trust the system, which you know, it’s hard number one. But number two, think about your emotions of when you invest. You know, people too many times compare their selves themselves to other investors. They compare themselves to that, you know, half brother, half sister, that half cousin, whoever it is that has that great idea, that investment in oil or cannabis that went crazy. You’ve got to understand your own psychology when you’re going into investing to know what you expect out of it, what you can take both on the upside and downside and how you’re going to deal with it.

PAYNE: I’ve got to ask you guys about earnings season. Let’s go to next week because we talked a lot about this week Squid Games, the hottest thing in the world. Will that make Netflix a buy before the earnings? Scott, would you be in this stock?

MARTIN: We already own it, man, and I got chastised and raked over the coals in May when we took it out of our managed stock portfolios in favour of Amazon. So we took out Amazon, which was taboo to ever sell and bought Netflix. Let’s look at the chart. That was actually a pretty good move. You know what’s funny, too? I don’t like Squid Games. I know I’m getting a ton of hate mail about it. I don’t think it’s that good. But I think a lot of their other content is geared. Charles. Sub numbers should look pretty good this past quarter. And so I like Netflix here going forward, especially into Q4.

PAYNE: Rob, are you? Are you? Would you be a buyer or owner? And if not, would it be like right now, Rob, what’s a fresh idea since we spoke last?

LUNA: Yeah, I mean, I think Scott’s a better stock picker than he is media critic. I think that’s a great game, a great show. I’ve been binge watching it for the last week. You know, I think you’ll look the fangs reporting next week. All of these companies are good long term holds, not trading around them. What I wanted to bring, though I knew it was coming up against some heat with the market bros I wanted to bring a fresh idea. That idea today is simple. Tigr, tigr, it’s up. Fintech. Look, there’s some controversy surrounding this. It’s a Chinese based company. A lot of online brokerage fintech, right? Take a look at this, though a big move into the US stocks down 30 percent in the last five years.

PAYNE: Take a look. I’ve got an admission. I’m in it with my subscribers and we are getting shellacked, so I’m so happy someone else is getting in there. And by the way, another admission I want you, Scott. I watched half an episode of Squid Games. Let’s say people may love it. I’m going to give it another shot over the weekend. And I do like Netflix. Guys have a great weekend.
