Episode 25
One of the largest banks in the world offered Daymond John a credit line of $1.3B to go out and acquire brands. He turned it down. What does an offer like that actually cost, and why would anyone say no to it? In this episode of The Money Signal: From Main Street to Wall Street, FUBU founder and Shark Tank investor Daymond John explains what he weighed before walking away, why he moved into trading cards as an asset class after Fanatics Fest, how the Tom Brady CardVault deal came together without him knowing anything about sports, and the one thing he has to see in a founder before he writes a check. Daymond also explains why Bombas became the number one selling product in Shark Tank history, why he believes an invisible CEO is a replaceable one, and how he built a brand for himself years before ABC ever called. Peter Tuchman, the New York Stock Exchange floor broker known as the Einstein of Wall Street, describes meeting IShowSpeed on Wall Street and the question he asked him about the next iPhone. We also discuss: The most expensive mistake Daymond John made with his own money What Robinhood and Webull handed new investors without teaching them Why NIL money is reaching teenagers who will never turn pro Why Kevin O'Leary and Snoop Dogg get away with what other brands cannot The coin that once settled million dollar disputes on the NYSE floor If you're interested in Shark Tank, Daymond John, FUBU, trading cards, Tom Brady, investing, the stock market, the NYSE, financial literacy, NIL deals, or building a personal brand, this episode is for you.

70%-90%of daily stock market volume is now algorithmic. Peter Tuchman explains why the New York Stock Exchange remains the last human market. In this talk from Christie's Art+Tech Summit, NYSE floor broker Peter Tuchman, known as the Einstein of Wall Street, explains how a trade moved in 1985, from a wall of 100 telephones to open outcry to ticker tape. He describes what he still reads in order flow at the opening and closing bells, and why he will not let a robot take control of his money. Peter also explains how he won the corridor outside the NYSE boardroom for the Big Board Art Hall, a gallery of money-themed pop art that every opening bell guest walks through. He compares the 2008 financial crisis with the COVID crash, when he says the Federal Reserve put $3 trillion into the market in three months, and argues that every sell-off he has traded was a better buying opportunity than a selling one.
