Invest in gold silver and copper friends. Personally I have zero faith in the US dollars zero faith in the current US administration.
Any time is a good time to be investing 🙂 Plus, it's not really a bubble as there are multiple AI companies and non-AI companies all around the globe outside of the big US AI infrastructure firms, going to market with their own products
To be honest, I'm a beginner trader, I made my first $20,000 in the market today on my second trade, while this amount may be modest, the progress and results are truly rewarding and mark an important milestone in my trading journey.
so DCA. got it
I'm retired at 46, went from Grace to Grace. This video here reminds me of my transformation from a nobody to good home, honest wife and 35k biweekly and a good daughter full of love
Regular predictable deposits will always beat bank/ savings over time. Compounding is your best friend, and will always win over time even with the stock market crashing from time to time.
We are in phase 1 AI
There are always 3 phases in disruptive innovation , the classic s curve.
Front runners, logistics, service
You haven’t seen anything yet.
Electricity took 40 years .
We have 3-5 years before it gets juicy , and most of the profitable companies have not came out yet.
Once AI is implemented UPS, FedEx , Amazon will go crazy,
Siemens, ABB, Honeywell, Rockwell , will soar
Trump and his foolishness is doing the American market no favours. A rotation is obvious with ex USA stocks!
Any advice on taking a small personal pension pot approx 20k aged 55… To pay as little tax as possible?
Its slow & steady as we just cannot time the market easily, my sentimentnis to avoid the overpriced US market currently or at keast keep exposure below world market weightings as the market is sentiment driven and the US currency risk is alaso at play having a bankrupting fraud as presidentnis not a great look.
DBP – not sure this was priced into stocks from the 1980s, given things like Norman Lamont and his contribution holiday? Would be interesting to see with the long time passed now, how much it was the holiday that ruined the scheme rather than actual affordability? Might make an interesting video?
Can't believe you ripped out that beautiful kitchen 😥
It would be good to have a video on pensions Vs ISAs then putting the money into pensions later (or just ISA's full stop once you are likely to be taxed on your withdrawals from your pension pot -redditors seem to think this is better, but surely only once over the Tax free lump sum limit??). I think once the employer matched contribution and the upcoming cap on NI are exceeded, it comes down to will you be able to sal sac at the same tax rate later on. The issues I see are having enough annual allowance later on to stuff the ISA into your pension (and would you not be using your ISA and sal sacrificing your wage if you didn't need the money so there's no allowance to stuff it in at that point anyway).
You're absolutely right – the shift from understanding to execution is where most traders struggle. Plenty of people can read charts or recognize trends, but turning that knowledge into consistent profit requires structure, discipline, and a clear framework.
Trump is being trmp but stock markets high. Trump carry on
The idea of investing a significant sum of money may be both thrilling and intimidating. There is potential for considerable wealth increase with the correct strategy. How can one take advantage of compound interest and potentially grow your retirement savings to about $1M over time?
Forget the US ETF's mate, Poland is booming…
mWIG40TR – 1 year 36% return / 3 years 120%
WIG20TR – 1 year 44% return / 3 years 104%
Youre welcome…
Keep cash, DCA over longer periods of time. Alternatively, sell cash secured puts to buy in at a lower price you think is fair value while making a premium in the process.
Is that chart adjusted for inflation?

James can I message your channel with a question
Defined Benefit pensions were on the company's balance sheet back then though surely?
So whats the bottom line? Yes or no?
there is an infinite number of indicators pointing whichever way you like. looking back, it will appear that it couldn't have gone any other way, and people will point at certain indicators, while ignoring the ones that pointed the other way.
buying stocks is very close to gambling, 95% retail investors lose money, and financial advisors are doing astrology.
Your old kitchen looked better
The end of the world is coming. Eventually…..
Why does no one talk about hedging the risk ?
Yeah I’m super bearish going into q2 2026.

The crash will be miniscule, 10-20% at most. Just keep on investing you dummies
The way I see it, time is more important than not investing because of the market. Long term goals
Im trimming right now and hoarding cash in the hysa waiting for a down turn in the next year or two.
36 and opened my first S&S ISA two weeks ago… already lost £250+ 😅
It's time in the market, not timing the market.I made my first million during a self acclaimed foreseen crash, what i can say to early investors is diversification and solid management. i reserve gratitude for my humble fa . smart investing is key
EUNL… 1400 holdings, half in the american mess, half in the rest of the world. Keep investing! Trump will eather no loger be a president or die, AI will advance or the good companies will find alternatives and the rest will stay behind. This is not game over ppl.
Buy & hold – enjoy the ulcer. Be a trend follower, with clear rules and appropriate stop losses. Watch the experts here on YouTube. Works brilliantly for me. 58% gain last 12m. The trend is your friend.
Run away trump crash the hole market🎉
What about US debt and weakening international relations? Not to sound like a conspiracy theorist, but the new world order sounds more impactful than the ai bubble
I bet there is no "Mark" 😀 Just kidding, thanks for the advice. 🙂
Getting into the market and trading sounded simple at first, but once I got in, the price swings and mixed information made everything more confusing.. I’ve tested several strategies, yet the results are just not there. Seeing others move ahead while I struggle has been frustrating. I need real guidance.
The answer: yes. Just bought 5000$ worth of gold and silver at the bottom of today’s discount. Never not stacking.
