More Knowledge, More Wealth with Gabriel Shahin

Big changes may be coming to the stock market—and most investors aren’t ready for them.Nasdaq is exploring 23–24 hour trading, five days a week, potentially launching as early as the second half of 2026. On the surface, nonstop markets sound convenient. In reality, they could fundamentally change how volatility, liquidity, and investor behavior work.In this episode, Gabriel Shahin, CFP®, breaks down what extended trading hours really mean for your portfolio—and why this shift could benefit institutions far more than everyday investors.What you’ll learn: • What 23–24 hour Nasdaq trading would actually look like • Why global participation and faster reactions to news are seen as positives • How after-hours liquidity and wide bid/ask spreads can hurt execution prices • Why higher volatility disproportionately impacts retail investors • The risk of impulse trading and “always-on” market behavior • How earnings reactions, overnight news, and geopolitical events could amplify swings • Operational challenges for brokerages, custodians, and mutual funds • Why institutions may gain an even bigger advantage over individual tradersMore trading hours don’t automatically mean better outcomes. Liquidity, discipline, and execution matter far more than access—and nonstop markets could increase costs, volatility, and emotional decision-making for retail investors.This change isn’t happening tomorrow, but it is coming. Understanding the risks now is critical to protecting your long-term strategy as markets evolve.📅 Schedule a Free Financial Assessmenthttps://www.falconwealthplanning.com/...🎙️ Follow Gabriel Shahin, CFP®:Website – https://gabrielshahin.com/Instagram – / falconoffin. .LinkedIn – / followgab. .X (Twitter) – https://x.com/falconoffinance?s=21&t=...🔗 Follow Falcon Wealth Planning:Linktree – https://linktr.ee/falconwealthplanningInstagram – / falconwealt. .LinkedIn – / falc. .YouTube – @FalconWealthInc For business or podcast inquiries, please contact: Marketing@falconwp.com-----------------------------------Disclaimer: Advisory services are offered through Falcon Wealth Planning, an SEC registered investment adviser.

Ep.319Should you buy a Tesla car — or buy Tesla stock?They may share the same name, but financially, they are two very different decisions.In this episode of More Knowledge, More Wealth, Gabriel Shahin, CFP®, breaks down the real-world economics of owning a Tesla versus investing in Tesla as a $1.5 trillion company. One decision can save you money and time. The other is a high-risk, high-expectation investment built on future assumptions.What you’ll learn: • The true cost savings of owning a Tesla as a daily driver (fuel, maintenance, time) • Why a Tesla can effectively “pay for itself” over time compared to gas vehicles • The real benefits of EV ownership, Autopilot, and Full Self-Driving • How Tesla compares to other EVs on price, technology, and convenience • Why Tesla stock is valued higher than the next 19 auto manufacturers combined • A breakdown of Tesla’s revenues, profits, margins, and slowing growth • How much of Tesla’s valuation depends on future bets like Optimus robots • Why Tesla stock trades at extreme multiples — and what that means for investors • The difference between a great product and a speculative investmentBottom line: Buying a Tesla car can make financial sense. Buying Tesla stock requires patience, risk tolerance, and belief in a future that hasn’t arrived yet.Tesla is innovative, profitable, and disruptive — but at current valuations, it’s not a no-brainer investment. Understanding the difference between consumption and capital allocation is what separates smart financial decisions from emotional ones.📅 Schedule a Free Financial Assessmenthttps://www.falconwealthplanning.com/retirement-landing-page/?utm_source=Youtube&utm_medium=utm_medium&utm_campaign=gabeunomics&utm_id=Video_channel&utm_content=video 🎙️ Follow Gabriel Shahin, CFP®:Website – https://gabrielshahin.com/Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/falconoffin...LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/followgab...X (Twitter) – https://x.com/falconoffinance?s=21&t=...🔗 Follow Falcon Wealth Planning:Linktree – https://linktr.ee/falconwealthplanningInstagram – https://www.instagram.com/falconwealt...LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/company/falc...YouTube – @FalconWealthInc For business or podcast inquiries, please contact: Marketing@falconwp.com-----------------------------------Disclaimer: Advisory services are offered through Falcon Wealth Planning, an SEC registered investment adviser.
