Let's go. I'm sitting first-hand how this. system is rigged against our citizens. Do you know who's really making money in the stock market? I mean, regardless of how well you may be doing, it ain't you. So by the end of this, you'll know, one, the dirty secret behind Wall Street's rigged wealth machine, two, where you can invest on a level playing field. And three, how to guarantee that you will win.

Here's the deal. Wall Street pitches the stock market as the ultimate equalizer. It's the place where anyone, regardless of background, can invest and build wealth. But here's the dirty secret behind the curtain. the people making the real money aren't playing the same game as you. You see, there are three types of trades being made all day, every day, stealing your returns. The first one, high-frequency trading. This isn't trading as you know it.

It's an entirely different universe where milliseconds matter. Firms spend millions, sometimes billions, sometimes billions, on algorithms and infrastructure to execute trades in the blink of an eye. And here's how it works. These firms can see your trade before it's executed. They jump ahead, buy the stock. that you're about to buy and then sell it back to you at a slightly higher price. Now, that might not sound like much, but when they do this millions of times a day, the profits are

astronomical. It's like playing poker, but your opponent can see your cards. I mean, you're making logical decisions, but they're operating with insider knowledge and lightning speed. The result? They pocket consistent wins while you're playing a game that you can't possibly beat. And the regulators? They're playing catch-up. High-frequency trading it isn't illegal, but it's so stacked in favor of the big players that the average investor doesn't stand a chance. So while you're investing your hardened money, they're skimming profits off your profits you never even knew existed. Now, let's go deeper. High frequency trading, that's bad, but it's just the appetizer. The second one, it's the main course, insider trading. And this is

supposed to be illegal, but enforcement is really a game of whack-a-mole. Executives, board members, and hedge funds have access to information that you'll never see. I mean, I'm talking earnings reports, mergers, products launches. They know about these events long before the general public, and they're making moves to profit while you're left in the dark. Remember Martha Stewart? Yeah, she went to prison for selling stock based on a tip that hadn't been made public yet. But here's the thing. For every Martha Stewart, there are countless others flying under the radar, profiting off insider knowledge without ever getting caught. And I'll try not to mention any more names, but the third most powerful person in the United States at the time of this recording,

Nancy Pelosi, outperformed Buffett, Soros, and Wood in 2020 with her portfolio's percentage gains. She's a regular Gordonia Gecko, apparently. I mean, who knew? And politicians, they're not the only ones getting away with it. Take hedge funds as another example. They have armies of analysis, lobbyists, and connections who feed them information. They can identify patterns, predict moves, and execute trades before you even know. know what's happening. You're playing a game where the referees, they look the other way while the big

players bend or break the rules and the little guys lose every time. What's worse? This isn't just about a few bad apples. No, it's systemic. The very structure of the stock market rewards those with access, with speed and scale. You, on the other hand, you're left holding the bag, hoping for a miracle. And here's the part that cuts the deepest. Even if you avoid high-frequency traders and insider moves, you're still up against the most dangerous of all yourself. You see, the stock market preys on this. The third one, emotional trading. I mean, every headline, every market boom, every crash, it's designed to keep you reactive. When the market dips, you panic. You sell low, locking in your losses. When it soars,

you feel the fear of missing out, FOMO, and you buy at the top. This isn't just a coincidence. Institutions and hedge funds, they know how to create and exploit these waves. They call it FUD, fear, uncertainty, and doubt. FUD, it's a weapon that they wield to manipulate everyday investors into emotional decisions. Big banks and hedge funds, they're notorious for planting alarmist headlines and spreading negative speculation to trigger mass panic selling or impulsive buying. While the average investor scrambles, the Wall Street power players, they swoop into profit from the chaos that they orchestrated. They understand market psychology better than most of us understand our own. When you sell in a panic, they're buying the dip. When you buy at the top,

they're cashing out. I mean, think about it. Why do you think the financial news is so sensationalized? market and freefall, stock soar to record highs. These headlines aren't just reporting the news. They're creating it. They're fueling the emotional highs and lows that lead to impulsive decisions. And here's the thing. They know you'll come back. Every dip is a chance for them to buy cheap.

Every rally is an opportunity to sell high. And in between, they're raking in fees from your trades. It's a cycle that's engineered to profit the institutions while keeping you stuck on the roller coaster. So while you're sweating over your portfolio, watching the market swing. up and down, they're sitting back and profiting from the panic they created. And the harsh truth, as long as you stay in the game, you're not the player. You're the product. So what do you do? Is there a better way? Well, I mean, what if you could step out of this rigged game entirely and actually win? Well, that's exactly what real estate investors have figured out. Here's their dirty

secret. Real estate isn't just an investment. It's a system. It rewards consistency, control, and patience. But more than that, it allows you to use leverage to multiply your returns. You see, See, with just 20% down, you can control 100% of an asset. That means your cash works five times harder. Think about this. If you buy a $500,000 property with $100,000 down, every 5% appreciation equals a 25% return on your cash. That's leverage in action.

And it's not just about the numbers. It's also about control. You see, you're not watching a ticker symbol bounce around. You're deciding how to manage your property. what are you going to do with it, when to make improvements and who your tenants are going to be. Real estate puts you in the driver's seat of your wealth creation. Real estate is different. When you invest in real estate, you're buying a tangible asset.

It's real, it's physical, and it's something that you can control. Stocks? They're just numbers on a screen controlled by CEOs, algorithms, and market sentiment. But with real estate, you're not reacting to the market. You're creating it. You decide the rent. You decide the tenants and the upgrades. Real estate puts you in.

control of your financial future. And here's the real beauty of it. When you put $100,000 down on a $500,000 property, you're not just relying on appreciation. You're building wealth in three distinct ways. The first, cash flow. You see, every month, rental income comes in, covering your mortgage, covering the property taxes, and the expenses. And what's left over is yours to keep. That's consistent, reliable income. Now, it takes some work, that's for sure. And at times, it can be frustrating, but it's a very small price to pay if you do it right in the way that it's all laid out in the new frustrated investors guide to passive income, the 2025 edition. If you'd like a copy, I made it really easy for you and uploaded it for free at frustrated investor.com. So you can also

build your wealth through number two, debt paydown. Your tenants, they are indirectly paying off your mortgage for you. Every payment builds equity in the property, increasing your net worth. What other investment available to the average person buys itself? And then number three, a Over time, the property increases in value. And because of leverage, your returns are amplified, multiplied even. A modest 3 to 5% annual appreciation can translate into massive equity gains over a decade. And let's talk about taxes. You see, when you own income-producing real estate, the IRS doesn't treat you like a regular employee.

No, you're now a small business owner. And that means depreciation, repairs, and even your travel expenses are all deductible. And then when it's time to sell, you can roll your profits into a another property using a 1031 exchange, tax-free. The stock market can't do that. It's just not built for you to win the way that real estate is. And real estate doesn't just grow your wealth, it protects it. You see, with the stock market, one bad day can wipe out years of gains. A single crash or economic downturn can send your portfolio into free fall. But with real estate, it's a different story. No matter the economic climate, people need a place to live. I mean, even during downturns,

rents may adjust, but the asset remains. It'll never be worth. 4th zero. Housing isn't a luxury. It's a necessity. That stability makes real estate one of the most resilient investments you can own. In fact, as I'm recording this, in the history of people owning real estate, it's never been a bad time to buy, just a bad time to sell. This isn't just about making money. It's about keeping more of what you earn. It's about creating a system that works for you, not against you. You see, while stock market investors are at the mercy of crashes, fees, and taxes, real estate investors are building wealth with the full support of the tax code. Now, let's compare two scenarios. First, the stock market. In 2021, retail investors fought back

against hedge funds shorting game stock. And for a moment, it looked like the little guys were winning. Then trading platforms stepped in, halting trades to protect the institutions. That's the rigged game and action. Now, imagine buying a rental property. You're not betting on the next hot stock or hoping that the market doesn't crash. You're collecting rent. You're paying down your mortgage and you're watching your equity grow. No one can lock you out of your investment. You're in control. And in 2021, you might even say the rigged system worked in your favor. Unintentionally, of course, but it did. You see, when the government stepped in with national loan forbearance policies, its goal wasn't to help borrowers. It was to protect the banks and stabilize the system. But here's the thing. By

borrowing money, a depreciating asset, to purchase real estate and appreciating asset, you've positioned yourself on the winning side of that system. And that's the secret most people miss. The system, it always wins. But when you leverage it correctly, using the bank's money to grow your wealth through real estate, you stop fighting the system and start playing alongside it. Instead of being another victim of the rigged game, you're aligning yourself with the way the system is designed to operate. and the little guy wins. So are you ready to leave the rigged game behind? Well, I've got five steps for how you can start.

The first, educate yourself. Learn the basics of cash flow analysis, financing, and property management. There are no bad investments, just uneducated investors. Number two, start small. Consider a single-family income property or maybe buy a duplex. You know, maybe you live in one unit and then you'll rent out the other. And number three, you want to leverage wisely. Use long-term fixed-rate loans to maximize your returns without

over extending yourself. It's the long-term fixed rate that puts you on the right side of the system, on the right side of inflation. Number four, focus on cash flow. Don't gamble on appreciation alone. Look for properties that generate income from day one. And number five, play the long game. Real estate isn't about quick wins. It's about building sustainable wealth over time, but it doesn't take nearly as long as the alternative. Real estate, it's set me free in less than four years. And private clients of mine like Parker, McKenzie, Quarney, Tori, Tony, and Enrique, all less than two years. The stock market might be rigged, but your financial future, it doesn't have to be.

Real estate offers something the stock market never will. Control. You're not at the mercy of insider trading, hedge funds, or high-frequency traders. You're in charge of your investments, your income, and your future. So if you're tired of playing a game that you can't win, it's time to switch to one where you can. The same game, the richer playing. I'll see you next time.
