Starting From ZERO Again… Here’s Why | This Is My LAST VIDEO Here
Watch on YouTubeVideo summary
The speaker, Alex Tez, clarifies that despite the dramatic title suggesting he lost all his money and is quitting trading, this was actually a joke as he continues day trading successfully with significant profits for the year so far. He explains that while many people are worried about an impending recession or depression, he believes the market is currently experiencing a V-shaped recovery driven by heavy short positions being trapped. In his view, political figures like Trump and his cabinet are highly sophisticated regarding stock markets, often making announcements designed to support prices rather than harm them, which has led to what appears to be a manufactured short squeeze where too many traders are betting against the market while institutions remain on the long side.
To address this shift in strategy, Alex is launching a brand new YouTube channel dedicated to educational content that will release videos every single week regardless of other commitments. Meanwhile, his current channel will transition into a daily live trading broadcast starting at 9:00 AM Eastern Time, where he invites viewers to watch him trade for free and see real-time market action. He also announces an exciting giveaway campaign on the new educational channel, promising that once they reach milestones such as 1,000 or 2,000 subscribers, a lucky winner will receive five years of live trading access valued at over $15,000 for every thousand subscribers hit.
Beyond market mechanics and his personal strategy changes, Alex discusses the institutionalization of Bitcoin following major adoption by firms like BlackRock and Fidelity, noting that while its explosive growth may moderate to more realistic annual gains similar to traditional indices, it remains a strong asset class. He highlights the massive news of Coinbase being added to the S&P 500 as further proof that cryptocurrency is now fully integrated into mainstream finance. Ultimately, he reassures his audience that he is not quitting day trading but rather reorganizing how he shares his insights and profits with viewers through these two distinct channels while continuing to make substantial returns in a market he believes will reach new all-time highs soon.

If you're watching this video, you
caught me. I lost all my money trading.
It's over. It was nice knowing you guys.
Just kidding. If this is your first time
on the channel, hi, my name is Alex Tez.
I've been day trading for over 11 years
and I've made over 11.5 million trading.
And we'll pop up my broker statements on
the screen right now. I wanted to make
this video to kind of explain a new
direction that I'm going with in my
trading. So, let's recap where I'm at.
This video is being recorded on May
13th, 2025. So far this year, I'm up
$500,000, including a
$170,000 day last week. So, my trading
has been going really, really well. A
lot of people have been talking about,
you know, the market's in a recession,
the market's in a depression, what's
going to happen, this that and if you
guys remember, Jim Kramer called that
Black Monday was going to happen on the
exact day that the market had bottomed.
And I use that day to buy a bunch of
long-term stocks, which I have since
exited on this 30 to 40% rebound on some
of these names. So, if I'm making all
this money day trading, if I'm making
all this money investing, why am I
quitting? What am I quitting? I'm
quitting this YouTube channel right
here. So, I started a brand new YouTube
channel, which I'm going to link in the
description below. This brand new
YouTube channel is going to have
educational videos once a week, every
single week, no matter what. But this
channel that you're watching right here,
I'm sure some of you may have noticed
that I am live trading on this channel
every single day at 9:00 a.m. So, this
My Investing Club YouTube channel is now
going to turn into a live trading
channel. So, you'll be able to watch me
trade live every single day at 9:00 a.m.
The other channel, the Alex Teis
channel, is going to be more educational
videos. So, real quick, I want to let
you guys know that if you go to that
Alex Teis channel and click the
subscribe button, which is 100% free,
the moment that we hit 1,000
subscribers, I'm going to be giving away
5 years of live trading access to a
lucky winner. And then when we hit 2,000
subscribers, I'm going to do the same
thing. So, for every 1,000 subscribers
that we hit on that new YouTube channel,
someone is going to win five years of
live trading access, which is normally
valued at over
$15,000 for free. Let's kind of get into
it a little bit. So, every single day at
9:00 a.m., tune in to this channel, the
channel that you're watching this now,
to watch me trade live every single day.
If you'll notice, I will also link a
free video under here where today I
opened up live trading to everyone and I
made $7,000. So, what I'm going to do is
I'm going to include two things in the
description. One, the brand new YouTube
channel where if you subscribe for free,
every 1,000 subscribers that we hit,
we're going to be giving away five years
of live trading access. Additionally,
I'm going to show you today's live
trading session where I made
$7,000 in one day. So, now that that's
out of the way, let's kind of talk about
the markets real quick. So, everyone's
talking about recession, depression,
this that the other thing. Well, we have
a V-shaped recovery right now. the
market went down and now it's kind of
coming right back up as if nothing ever
happened. What I think is that a lot of
people were overexposed to the short
side. I think that a lot of traders are
like, "Oh my god, everything's going
down. We're having a trade war. We're
having this. We're having this the other
thing." And everyone is short short.
Sell sell. And the market went down. But
as you can see, Trump and his cabinet
are very, very sophisticated. They're
telling you to buy stocks and then two
hours later they're doing a 90-day
tariff pause. They're telling you to buy
stocks and two days later they're making
a deal with China. So no matter what
Trump says about the market, I think he
is very laser focused on the market now.
You may be asking why. There was a
couple sayings out there that people
said that this is a Magnificent 7
problem, not a MAGA problem. Right? And
the truth of the matter is this. If they
say they're watching the stock market,
if they say that they're trying to
support the stock market, what's going
to happen? Foreign adversaries are going
to be coming after our market and trying
to bring down our market. But if they
tell people, "We don't care about the
market. The market doesn't matter. Who
cares?" Then what really happens is
people start saying, "Hm, if they don't
care about the market, maybe I shouldn't
care about the market too much." But
their topics that they're talking about
are all centered around the market.
They're making announcements at market
time. They are waiting for people to
talk about the market. So, in my
opinion, I think this cabinet is
extremely focused on the stock market.
They just can't say that they are. All
the context clues point to the fact that
Trump has a ton of Wall Street guys in
his cabinet. They know what they're
doing. And to me, it almost seems like
they manufactured the biggest short
squeeze in all of the indexes. I think
that everyone is overexposed to the
short side and not enough people are
exposed to the long side. Now, don't get
me wrong, there's going to be certain
pullback days. There's going to be
certain digestion days. There's going to
be certain days where the market comes
down and consolidates because we need to
trap shorts before we go higher. So, for
me, seeing this action in the market
actually reinforces the fact that, hey,
we might be back at all-time highs in a
couple months, right? Because too many
people don't have enough exposure to the
long side, the hedge funds, the
institutions, the mutual funds. It's
their job to buy because if they're not
making money for their customers, the
customers are going to leave. In the
short term, we may kind of see some
pullback, some consolidation in the long
term. It's kind of crazy to say, but you
know, about a month ago, people were
dumping stocks at the fastest rate
possible, and now they just can't get
enough, right? Because they've realized
that, oh, wait, maybe we made a mistake.
Maybe there's no trade war. Maybe this
was all planned. Now, let's talk about
Bitcoin. Bitcoin has been very, very
strong throughout this entire process.
And I think it's because obviously all
of these institutions are finally
adopting it. Black Rockck, Fidelity,
everyone is talking about Bitcoin,
Bitcoin, Bitcoin. They had enough time
for big money to load up on all the
bitcoins before the average guy comes in
and has any chance. So, in my opinion,
Bitcoin has now become
institutionalized. It's probably not
going to go up 100% 200% every year, but
just like any type of index, any type of
market, probably 10 or 20%. And that
comes in with today's big announcement
of Coinbase. Coinbase is officially
added to the S&P 500. Could you believe
that? So, as if it wasn't legit enough
that crypto is here to stay and crypto
is institutionalized, Coinbase, the
biggest US regulated exchange, is now on
the S&P 500. So, I think that this is
massive, massive, massive news for all
the crypto people out there. So, these
type of videos, the videos that I'm kind
of making right here, kind of talk about
the macroeconomic. I have some trade
recaps and all that stuff is going to be
on the new YouTube channel, Alex Teis,
which I'm going to link below. This
channel right here, show up every day at
9:00 a.m. on the dot Eastern time to
watch me trade live for free every
single day. So, if you like this video,
leave a like, leave a comment,
subscribe, subscribe to the other
channel, right where for every 1,000
subscribers that we hit, I'll be giving
away fiveear access to live trading.
Now, on top of that, let me know what
type of videos you want to see on this
channel. Let me know what type of videos
you want to see on the other channel.
And I'm excited to see you on the next
channel. And by the way, I'm not
quitting day trading. I'm just quitting
this channel. I'm making a ton of money
this year. Thank God. Knock on wood. And
I think it's going to continue.
