I think you're absolutely right by the way. By using that method you can get brilliant results, and probably better results than most "stock pickers". I like to try my hand at using data and assuming where certain companies or industries will be. Some have performed better than index funds, and others less. But you definitely can't go wrong with that strategy 🙌
@@CasualCash I got burnt trying to pick stocks that were popular on Twitter. Never again. I would rather go steady and slow than try to beat the market which is almost impossible anyway. Hitting a return of 20% atm just off ETFs.
@user-um8cn2my3k absolutely brilliant! The problem usually with stocks that are hot on twitter, is that they've already made their growth and when popularity dies down people sell and then many are in a loss. The way you're doing it is absolutely brilliant, an amazing way to build wealth for yourself. Hats off to you bro 😄👊
Not always. But I try to look 1 to 2 years ahead and think where the businesses will be based on the economic factors we can know for certain, or at least very strongly be assured of 😊. So far we've had some very good ones, we may have some bad ones too, but been mostly happy with the results of them so far 😊
Good day Casual Cash: enjoying the Video - I just wanted to ask where are pulling that sheet with the Purchase date, Purchase Price, QTY, total gain and value from? Appreciate your videos.
Great question 😊. I was using Google Finance, a website. When you go to them, just google Google Finance. You can create a portfolio and add all of your stocks and even each individual purchase if you want. You can them track the overall and individual purchase to see your profits/losses etc. It's a cool tool 😊
Hi Chris! Love the information you put out. I'm a student with just a few thousand saved and looking to invest it, to start learning the basics while I'm young and still being semi-supported.. where do you recommend I start? Would love to hear your thoughts
Hello Chris. I've been watching your videos now for about a year and a half. Just a question, could you possibly do a video where you value a stock or 2, like intrinsic value and determine if it would be a good stock or not based on current market metrics? Thanks
Thank you so much 😊. Really glad to have you as a viewer and I'm glad you've been enjoying. So go back a couple of videos on the channel to "Should you buy the BIG 7 Stocks? (Tesla, Amazon, Apple, Nvidia, Meta, Alphabet)". I go a lot into the valuation metrics of what makes a good company to buy. But if you still have questions after let me know, and perhaps I'll see if I can do a solo video on it then as well 😊
Well for me, I like to invest in stocks that have a dividend payout. That can be 14% like Octodec, or 1% like the S&P500. But personally I like to get a dividend. However you can invest in non-dividend stocks and sell say 4% a year (2% every 6 months) and draw your own dividends. I just recently bought some non-dividend paying shares and will draw my own dividends that way. Depends on your preference, but I invest for passive income as a part of my strategy so mostly they all have dividends 😊
Ah yes retail bonds :) I have used them in the past. specifically the SA retail bonds. Sure, i have a couple videos coming up next, but I will see if it is a topic I can put into a video as well :) 18 is a brilliant time to start, if you keep at it, there is so much you can create for your life! Wish you all the best!
If you are depositing money and buying shares every month then yes 😊. That's correct. I think the basic premise is if you are depositing money each month then it's good.. 😊
Great video! Nice to be in the green 😀😀 I've been meaning to ask tho, that Lloyds stock, has it always been that cheap? Is a bank stock that cheap a good investment for the long run or a short-term investment? (If you've already answered this before, I must've missed it lol so I'm sorry). Edit: Also, I know you're not a financial advisor I acknowledge that, but if I want to step into the UK market, do you think pairing the Lloyd's stock with the HSBC FTSE 100 UCITS etf is a good place to start?
Thank you so much 😊! Well Lloyds has been cheap to an extent. I guess in order to determine how cheap it is I would typically look at the PE ratio, and even with the growth it is at 7.9 which is a low ratio (which is good). I personally don't plan on ever selling it, and keeping it for the long term, especially with the good dividends. I think long term it's still a good investment. And in my opinion you can rarely go wrong with index funds like the FTSE100. If you dollar cost average over the long term, you will typically always make a profit. Personally I think it's a good option to get started in the UK portfolio 😊
HI there , thanks for the info i am an Indian with work permit in South Africa , is there any brokerage app that supports indian passports and which brokerage app do you recommend , do we have any best performing mutual funds here ?
Great Update thanks. Is it possible to make a video about the new Easy Protect Product ? Did you try it yet? Will It be worth investors times to invest in Should they not have any pensions or Provident funds.
Hm, no I haven't tried it yet. But I've read through it. If I'm correct, isn't Easy Protect a life insurance product? From what I read it is life insurance for if you die, and then as your EE portfolio grows you pay less as your assets grow. I could be wrong, but it seems to be life insurance? 😊
I actually tried this video turning it up by 2db 😄, but obviously that was too much. I like having a small back tune, but I'll pop it back down lower again 😊 thank you!
That's an interesting one. I try to invest in what I know, and the health care industry I'm not toooo clued up on. But I know Novo dropped about 8.3% in the last 5 days because it's competitors got promising results from a weight loss drug trial. So it has stiff competition. But it's still up 62% in the last year. In the last 5 years it's up 400%. It seems like it could be a good long term stock. I might look into it more as well 😊. So I can't make any recommendations on it, I don't know it too well. But it seems like potentially a good possibility 😊
I did not. You are right. I ment to mention that it is at $0 right now, but that literally today I am making my first investments, and investing in some tech stocks, and that video will be on the channel next 😊. Good spot, but yes, starting investing now and next update coming soon 😊
That's awesome! Yup, it can be difficult knowing the right ones to put them in. Especially with large amounts. Personally I would rather dollar cost average smaller amounts over time. But any particular ones you are thinking of purchasing?
I was a stay at Home mom with no money in my IRA or any savings of my own, which was scary at 53 years of age. Three years ago I got a part time job and save everything I make. After 3 years, I am 56 yo and have put $9,000 in an IRA and $40,000 in my portfolio with CFA, Dorian j Townsend. Since the goal of getting a job was to invest for retirement and NOT up my lifestyle, I was able to scale this quickly to $150,000. If I can do this in a year, anyone can.
look at the charts, bitcoin has outperformed every stock and banking product ever developed even after multiple pullbacks over the last decade. not a financial advisor but I know what i'm saying
That is a brilliant question :) I have seen so many portfolio's that have done well in the Australia market. The simple answer is I feel like I do not know enough about their market yet. But at the same time, often starting to invest slowly can also help to teach you about their market. So maybe it is something I need to start looking at a bit closer :) Do you have shares in Aus and how are you finding it?

@@CasualCash But you still own the shares once you buy enough fractional shares? The CFD's on brokstock is betting if the shares will go up or down, you can loose all your funds without the shares going to zero.
I stopped buying individual stocks and focus purely on ETFs. S&P, Total World, Nasdaq, and Top40 SA is all you really need.
