today's adventure begins with this bird
0:04
chowing down on some crackers
0:13
i have just gone over to the cornerstone
0:13
market in delhi
0:15
right there on the side located on
0:18
market street
0:19
crosstalk market square where the
0:22
fountain is
0:24
happening sun it's about to set here in
0:27
the evening
0:28
another hour or so should be sundown
0:32
and i have procured a piping hot
0:34
beverage
0:35
from said cornerstone market
0:39
and i've finally done it as of the
0:43
recording of this
0:45
i am stating now that i
0:49
am a stockholder
0:56
in the disney corporation i have
0:56
purchased disney
0:59
shares quite a few of them
1:02
let me do the intro
1:09
welcome everyone adam the woo here and i
1:09
will not be giving these specifics of
1:11
how many shares that i now own
1:20
but it's a decent amount in fact
1:20
i took nearly all of the money that i
1:24
have
1:25
halved in my regular savings account
1:29
almost all of it i would say 90
1:34
of my savings account went to this
1:38
endeavor i'm inviting you to join me as
1:41
i just discuss that
1:47
a little walk and talk because that
1:47
motorcycle
1:48
goes by shall you
1:51
i should probably take a sip
2:03
someone rolled their window down and
2:03
made a noise
2:08
i just made a yummy sound a young
2:08
frankenstein i made a yummy sound
2:16
also a little asterisk on this i did not
2:16
purchase
2:17
the stocks today they were it was months
2:20
ago months and months and months
2:22
ago and i have kept it quiet and not
2:24
announced it
2:26
didn't put it out into the universe
2:27
until now and
2:29
i really thought about not even
2:30
discussing it at all or talking about it
2:32
but i wanted to to document this for
2:35
posterity and just
2:36
look back on this moment 5
2:39
10 heck at 20 years
2:43
from now and be glad that i at least
2:47
put what i hope will happen out into the
2:49
universe
2:50
let's go to the lakefront a lot
2:52
different and mellow vibe than it was
2:54
during the car show
2:56
over the previous weekend well there's a
2:58
car now driving right down the middle
2:59
but they had all the streets blocked off
3:01
as they do for many different events
3:03
including christmas with the
3:05
tree in the middle and the snope and the
3:07
celebration exotic car festival
3:10
which has came and went
3:13
it was fun there is a nice sized
3:16
timepiece up on the side of that wall as
3:19
you can see it is about
3:21
15 minutes give or take a moment
3:24
until 7 pm
3:27
yeah i think i got that right and the
3:29
lakefront is only a few feet from here
3:32
now for many years prior to me making
3:34
this decision
3:36
i always wanted to well at least
3:39
research
3:40
i i had researched but i always wanted
3:43
to take the plunge if you will into
3:46
owning some stocks
3:47
into having something that would make
3:50
some money other than
3:51
a standard savings account
3:55
or you know just having money in a in a
3:58
piggy bank
4:01
so into middle of like well actually
4:04
probably early of last year
4:05
let's say middle of last year i'll have
4:07
to look that up but
4:09
recently until last year i finally did
4:12
it
4:15
very beautiful out here
4:22
you know i just also became a dvc member
4:22
now this was in the last couple of weeks
4:26
i have had the stock for a little longer
4:28
than that
4:29
but i now am a shareholder a dvc
4:32
member and there's one other i figured
4:36
if i'm going to go in go in all the way
4:41
on top of those other two things i just
4:42
mentioned
4:44
i have also signed up and
4:49
became a d23 member
4:55
something i've wanted to do for a while
4:55
that is only about 120
4:57
a year well you see my shadow down here
4:59
it's magic hour
5:01
magic hour is the is the time frame
5:05
when the sun starts to set and things
5:08
glisten against uh facades
5:12
like so that's just uh that's not the
5:15
precise explanation
5:18
what's the the fake duck is still over
5:20
there oh yeah it's still there
5:22
let's go over here to the fake duck
5:24
there are alligators in here
5:27
i'm gonna zoom in on the fake duck the
5:28
duck that never moves
5:30
and never makes a sound
5:43
see the fake duck right there i think
5:43
that fake duck needs a name
5:45
i know there is a real foul okay i'm
5:47
gonna
5:48
i'm gonna do a little soul searching
5:50
come up with a name for that fake duck
5:52
but there is a real
5:55
bird right over there that is not you
5:57
know it was rumored
5:58
that there were animatronics placed out
6:02
here
6:03
oh look there's another one right here
6:05
where's it at there it is there's a bird
6:07
right there sticking its neck out
6:09
that's a good friend well it just went
6:11
away but i was gonna say
6:13
that bird is a good friend gets to stick
6:14
his neck out for you
6:17
this one over here shaking its tail
6:18
feathers
6:25
i am now a d20 it's scratching this neck
6:25
i'm now a d23 member
6:39
that bird submerges so oh there's an
6:39
alligator there's a gator
6:55
okay it's there somewhere gator where
6:55
are you gonna come out into the out of
6:57
the shade
7:00
yeah there you go you see it real clear
7:02
there
7:03
gator
7:10
okay it stops right there peeking out of
7:10
the tree
7:10
shadow it's a tiny little gate it's a
7:13
baby gator
7:16
okay i'm getting distracted
7:19
creating a nice little breeze there with
7:20
your wingspan
7:28
now the d23 membership that's not the
7:28
most exciting thing
7:30
but i do believe that by having that i
7:33
will
7:34
get first access to buying d23 expo
7:37
tickets which should be quite a good
7:40
time since
7:42
and the last one was postponed
7:43
considerably during the current
7:45
situation i mean look at that it looks
7:47
amazing over there
7:49
yeah d23 expo always a good time
7:59
and i get some special stuff sent to me
7:59
some some added bonuses nothing super
8:03
fancy
8:05
but i just kind of i kind of figured
8:08
since you know and i now live in
8:09
celebration florida
8:10
at least one of my two places that i
8:14
reside
8:15
southern california being one homestead
8:17
the other one here
8:19
in central florida a community that walt
8:21
disney world built
8:22
and now i'm just going going full disney
8:26
but the thing about this the thing about
8:28
the stocks that should be beneficial
8:31
in more ways than just personal
8:32
happiness than going to theme parks
8:35
enjoying what walt disney created
8:39
many many years ago that has has
8:42
bountifully
8:43
blossomed into a thriving enterprise
8:48
it will also if all goes well crossing
8:51
my fingers
8:52
benefit my retirement and
8:56
and my wallet
9:02
maybe it might maybe i'm kind of staring
9:02
into the sun now if i if i put the
9:05
camera there it kind of obscures it just
9:06
a little bit that's kind of kind of
9:08
bright this may not have been the best
9:09
seat but i have this
9:10
i have this bench here looking across
9:13
the waterway
9:19
i think this works maybe i don't know
9:19
it's not too warm
9:20
this the sun is that's kind of bright i
9:22
should probably move
9:23
i will in a second i want to get my
9:25
thoughts out first
9:27
so i'm looking into in not only
9:29
investments but
9:31
you know things that will well 20 years
9:33
from now might be beneficial
9:35
so dvc disney vacation club i just did a
9:38
couple of weeks ago
9:39
give or take a day and i did that more
9:42
so
9:42
that i can do videos i could do room
9:44
reviews i can also have peace of mind
9:46
places to stay
9:47
and for the first few years let's say
9:49
two or three years
9:51
of having 10 15 stays per year on the
9:53
point system i got 150 points
9:56
those will help kind of curb and pay for
10:00
the prices of having the dvc membership
10:05
after that's all said and done five ten
10:08
years from now
10:09
whenever the day happens when i'm not
10:11
doing videos anymore that bird just flew
10:13
up in the tree
10:14
right there it wants to be in the video
10:18
when i'm not doing videos when i'm not
10:19
using that for
10:21
content as well as well-being
10:24
staying close to the close to the parks
10:26
and just having a relaxing stay
10:28
they will always be there it's a 50-year
10:29
contract i'm figuring i'll probably use
10:31
it for 30 because i'm 46 now i'll be 47
10:34
in
10:34
august so if i live to be 77
10:38
i will get 30 years out of that dvc
10:41
membership i've kind of discussed this a
10:42
little bit more but i just wanted to
10:44
throw in that footnote
10:46
so that is an investment and it will be
10:48
paid off
10:50
decades before
10:54
it before it is said and done we'll have
10:55
the monthly fees which aren't really too
10:57
much
10:58
based on the points i have there is
10:59
monthly fees yearly fees
11:02
but nothing compared to the chunk of
11:05
money you have to put up front there is
11:06
financing for it
11:07
as well but all that if if things go
11:10
well
11:11
will be paid off considerably earlier
11:14
than the tenure of the contract
11:16
so now that i got that out of the way
11:18
let's talk about being a shareholder now
11:20
being a stockholder
11:22
for the disney corporation something
11:24
i've wanted to do for a long time i had
11:26
some
11:26
a little bit of a history with the
11:28
disney parks especially
11:30
florida parks all that was lifted and
11:32
changed
11:33
don't want to discuss that but you know
11:34
that information is out there and when
11:36
that happened i thought
11:37
what if what if when all this is said
11:40
and done
11:42
i kind of change the momentum and
11:45
change the way i look at things and
11:48
do things that i would have never done
11:51
before
11:52
just because i am grateful and be to be
11:55
happy
11:56
that i am back
11:59
to the premises here at wdw and one of
12:02
those things
12:03
was to do the dvc own property
12:06
granted you know a small dose only
12:10
you know a short time every year but to
12:12
own property in a way in a very tiny way
12:15
at walt disney world and that has been
12:17
accomplished and the next step
12:20
was to own a part of the company
12:24
not a lot of the company not an
12:26
exorbitant amount
12:27
nothing that i could really show up and
12:30
my voice would ever
12:31
change anything in a in a board meeting
12:36
but on a small level i could be the
12:38
lower lower
12:39
percentile of ownership
12:42
of the disney corporation not just the
12:45
parks but also
12:46
you know get disney plus you got the
12:48
overseas properties
12:49
you got the resort you got the cruises
12:51
it is
12:52
a an incredible gamut is that a word
12:57
unlike the dvc which i'm trying to get a
12:59
30-year investment out of
13:02
the stock that's pretty neat this little
13:04
these lights here there's the sun over
13:06
there behind the cloud formation
13:07
setting the stocks i'm going to try to
13:10
get
13:10
a 20-year return on i have no
13:14
thoughts of selling it until i'm
13:18
probably
13:19
65 66
13:23
67 so let's say let's say 20 years
13:27
and what will it what will it be up to
13:29
at that point what will it be down to
13:31
at that point no one really knows but i
13:34
am just going to
13:35
assume you know what they say when you
13:36
assume something
13:38
you make a you know what out of yourself
13:40
for you and me there's that gator again
13:57
hello gator but i have good thoughts i
13:57
have good vibes
13:59
i think this is a good decision now i
14:03
back when this whole experience of 2020
14:08
started back in
14:09
march april may of last year when it
14:11
really reared its head
14:13
there was a lot of decline a lot of
14:15
companies the stocks went down
14:18
and as depressing as that was you know i
14:20
didn't own any shares then
14:21
i thought i have some money in savings i
14:24
should utilize this for a rainy day this
14:26
is like my nest egg
14:29
but then i thought this is never gonna
14:31
go any lower
14:33
than it is right now so i pulled
14:36
almost all of it out i don't know why
14:38
i'm focusing on the skater
14:51
i pulled almost all of it out and put it
14:51
in disney stock the lowest it went down
14:55
to was 87
14:56
a share i think it was let's say 89
14:58
don't quote me on this was between 87.89
15:01
below 90 a share was the lowest it was
15:05
into early last year when all this you
15:08
know current situation began
15:09
i wanted to walk away from that gator
15:12
and i did not have the wherewithal
15:14
to buy it then but i did buy it at about
15:16
a hundred
15:17
and nine a hundred and ten hundred and
15:19
twelve dollars
15:21
a share as of right now as of the
15:26
it is approximately 189
15:32
a share i'll pull my phone out and and
15:34
get the accurate number
15:35
so i have made on a decent amount
15:40
of stuff that i purchased on all those
15:42
shares which i will not be going into
15:43
the exact numbers because it's really no
15:45
one's business but
15:47
well i guess none of this is really
15:48
anybody's business but i'm putting it
15:49
out there so i'm making it everyone's
15:50
business
15:51
but i do not want to discuss my exact
15:53
bank account
15:54
finances as no one should know that but
15:57
it is a very fascinating
15:59
subject matter see this guy running by
16:02
he is talking
16:03
on the phone while he jogs and he's
16:05
talking about some financial stuff it is
16:07
a
16:07
financial year there are going to be
16:11
some exponential growth when everything
16:14
reopens fully the world is going to be
16:17
in a whirlwind of activity
16:20
a beehive of activity
16:23
i am convinced of that oh don't fret
16:26
squirrel don't worry squirrel
16:28
i am not going hungry i do not have to
16:32
to bank on this to be successful to
16:34
survive
16:36
when i said i put all my money i had
16:40
in my there it is hello hello squirrel
16:43
when i said i put all my money
16:45
that i had in my savings into the said
16:49
stock
16:50
okay there you are hello that was that
16:53
was a long time ago that was
16:55
into middle early of last year and
16:58
since then i haven't put any more in
17:00
because i reached the limit i wanted to
17:04
and then i saved other money so i had
17:08
that was done that goal was accomplished
17:11
the number of shares i wanted to have
17:14
was completed at least for now i might
17:16
buy more later but for now
17:18
as of now i've got as many as i think i
17:21
need
17:25
and then i've saved since then so i do
17:25
have my savings has been
17:27
restocked if you will so i'm okay i was
17:32
a little worried then
17:34
but i'm not worried now based on how it
17:37
has escalated
17:38
since then let me show you some graphs
17:40
as of this very moment
17:42
it is at 187 and change
17:47
187 i purchased in at 117
17:58
so it's gone up 70 dollars
17:58
let me do the you know what i can change
17:59
this graph and show you lifetime let me
18:01
show you lifetime
18:02
i have pinpointed the approximate time
18:04
frame when i purchased so may 22nd it
18:06
was 1 18.
18:07
so it was you know around that within
18:09
that's probably that same week
18:11
more or less but look at the graph look
18:14
at back at 2011 see what happens when i
18:17
when i do this but look at just the
18:19
recent spike over here
18:22
up to where it is now at 187
18:25
but in 2011 it was way
18:29
way down there
18:35
i just love this view i just wanted to
18:35
show show the view
18:38
because i kind of changed the graph
18:42
and pinpointed in it was at forty
18:44
dollars a share
18:46
back in 2011 so you know
18:49
ten years ago it was at forty dollars a
18:52
share
18:53
hypothetically let's say i had 100
18:55
shares
18:57
i might have less than that i might have
18:59
more than that i'm just using that as a
19:02
as a round number if i had 100
19:05
shares okay look at the graph bought at
19:10
117
19:11
and it's now at 187 70
19:15
per one so what would 100
19:18
times 70 be i would have made
19:22
7 dollars
19:25
on a hundred shares now you do have to
19:27
pay taxes on that
19:29
on what all your what they call capital
19:31
gains
19:32
i know nothing about this but i've read
19:34
up a little bit capital gains so let's
19:36
do point 0.3
19:38
paying 2 000 in taxes so if i had 100
19:42
shares and paid
19:44
2 000 in taxes on the 7 000 i made
19:48
since early last year i'm still
19:52
profiting five thousand dollars
19:56
five thousand dollars now if you want to
19:58
you know
19:59
say you had 200 shares 300 shares
20:03
500 shares 1000 shares 10 000
20:07
shares then you could do the math and
20:09
multiply that
20:10
even if you had one share you could just
20:13
do
20:13
one share i'm not talking about the
20:15
singer share
20:17
that was in mask and sang the song do
20:20
you believe in life after love
20:22
not that share i'm talking about
20:25
a disney stock share i could have made a
20:28
bad decision
20:29
you know with anything you take a chance
20:31
you could be making a bad decision
20:33
but i don't feel like no matter what
20:36
over time the history of things i don't
20:39
see it going lower than 117 what i
20:41
bought it
20:41
as it's that would have to dramatically
20:43
drop in fact i feel it's going to go the
20:45
opposite way
20:46
i feel like it could go you know into
20:48
into the next
20:50
six seven months it could go up to 250.
20:53
what if it went to 300 what if it went
20:55
to what if it went to 400 what if it was
20:57
like
20:57
some of these other ones so like amazon
21:00
that skyrocketed i don't think it will
21:03
be
21:04
that extreme but what if what if
21:08
it did it's an exciting time you know
21:11
it's good to have different avenues
21:14
of where you're placing placing money
21:18
i feel like it is anyway i could it
21:20
could be a bad decision
21:21
it could be something that i look back
21:23
on and think
21:24
well that wasn't the wisest thing i ever
21:27
did
21:28
but as stated not hurting
21:31
i have an uh my savings account has been
21:34
restocked refilled so even if this goes
21:37
away
21:38
i'll be sad about it but it's not going
21:40
to be detrimental
21:42
to oh there's that there's that another
21:49
hello hey
21:49
he's got a little walnut
21:52
seeing the walnut so i think it's gonna
21:56
be good just wanted to share that
21:59
put it out there
22:06
advice is always you know vice is always
22:06
something that
22:07
is not always always welcome you don't
22:09
always want to hear
22:11
comments criticism critiques but
22:14
sometimes it's good to get
22:15
perspective to put things out into the
22:18
world
22:19
and just and just see what the vibe is
22:23
from others and i'm just going to sit on
22:25
it for
22:26
kind of like fonzie happy days sit on it
22:30
fonzie
22:31
sit on a squirrel that's what i'm going
22:33
to do i'm going to follow
22:35
the happy days philosophy and just sit
22:37
on it not touch it not sell it even if
22:39
it increases
22:40
even if it goes up or down it's just
22:43
going to be there
22:43
are you going to crawl up my leg
22:50
you're very friendly i'm just going to
22:50
sit on it
22:51
and if it goes goes way up then i have a
22:54
little
22:55
little retirement fund if it doesn't go
22:58
way up
22:58
then i have taken a huge loss
23:06
and i might buy more who knows no plans
23:06
on it though
23:07
if it drops down if there's some weird
23:10
reasoning
23:11
if it ever drop down again i might buy
23:14
a few more shares one last thing i have
23:17
a vested interest
23:19
in disney i'm wearing a disneyland
23:21
t-shirt right now
23:22
i love disney i have a lot of history
23:25
with disney i have a lot of
23:26
memories and it's something i can get
23:29
behind
23:30
now i could put money into a bunch of
23:32
different stocks across the board
23:34
and i might invest in other things but i
23:37
only want to
23:38
invest into something that i am
23:41
interested in
23:42
i would not just want to put money into
23:44
something that i do not know
23:46
that i am not wholeheartedly for and as
23:49
everyone knows who is watching this i
23:52
love disney
23:53
i help promote for my own well-being you
23:56
know going
23:58
going to the parks the experience things
24:00
like that
24:01
history of walt and his company and
24:05
it's something i can get behind and now
24:07
i have a monetary interest
24:09
in it as well which is kind of nice
24:12
which is
24:13
so if i choose another another path to
24:16
put money into something
24:18
for our stocks and whatnot it's got to
24:20
be something that
24:21
that i really care for something that i
24:23
am very knowledgeable about
24:24
and something that i frequent or utilize
24:26
or consume
24:28
on a regular basis so that might happen
24:30
that might happen at some point there's
24:31
a dragonfly
24:39
there's some dragonflies bikes going by
24:39
some cypress knees
24:40
some cypress trees
