Inflation is gradually going to become part of us and due to that fact, any money you keep in cash or a low interest account declines in value each year. Investing is the only way to make your money grow and unless you have an exceptionally high income, investing is the only way most people will ever have enough money to retire.

Watching the crypto market's ups and downs shows how quickly things can change. The recent misinformation incident reminds us that external factors can shake things up. In crypto, strategic, informed trading isn't a choice; it's a must. Remember, caution is as crucial as ambition here. Stay alert, diversify, and let's ride this unpredictable market together.

His all-encompassing investment approach and staying updated on trends make him a valuable ally in this crypto era…
The process of trading can be complicated when you have limited knowledge. However, with the right strategy and setups, you can be successful. That's the whole point of investing.
Interesting!! I'm so excited, seeing mr Walter, being mentioned here because his strategies have also normalized winning trades for me. and it's a huge milestone for me looking back to how it all started.
After I raised up to 325k trading with him I bought a new House and a car here in the states also paid for my son's surgery (Oscar). Glory to God.shalom..
I keep learning more about stocks everyday, I’m putting eleven percent earnings into my individual account with an intelligent investor and I’m cashing up some stocks at a cheaper price.
I understand the whole fin-market experience isn’t for everyone, that’s why personally, my holdings decisions are on a top tier construct. the safest way to be on green.
Love the videos and advice, and podcast! Quick question - my wife and I moved from the UK to NZ a few years ago (I'm Kiwi, she's British) - I don't believe we can open an ISA account from abroad, and there is no equivalent here. Do you have advice for those of us watching on internationally?
Quite agree. I left school forty years ago with no idea how to even write a cheque, let alone more complex matters. Was hoping things may have improved
Great video! I really do have a quick question. For someone with less than $10,000 to invest, How would you recommend we enter the market? I am looking study some traders and copy their strategy rather than investing myself and losing money emotionally. Whats your take on this approach?
I successfully trade in my own portfolio, and also follow others because I'm interested in their strategies. I realized I've got better at managing the trader's strategies too. There's nothing wrong at all with having someone far more dedicated manage some of your portfolio.
To be 100% honest with you. I had the same question 4 years ago. I was confused as heck. Now copying other traders for over 3 years, I would like to tell you, YES copy trading is a good approach. Just keep in mind that the success of copying another trader lies in their transparency. Make sure you know who you are dealing with before copying them. My two cents. Goodluck!
Even with the right technique and assets some investors would still make more than others, as an investor, you should’ve known that by now, nothing beats experience and that’s final, personally I had to reach out to a market analyst for guidance which is how I was able to grow my account close to a million, withdraw my profit right before the correction and now I’m buying again.
How can I participate in this? I sincerely aspire to establish a secure financial future and am eager to participate. Who is the driving force behind your success?.
Hi Pete. Im totally confused. Im 41 yrs old and just got in before i turned 40 for the Lifetime ISA. I opened with the £100 and set up the dd for £25pcm. Now its value is £821. I havent done anything to it but now want to explore investing in stocks and shares. But do i open a stocks and shares ISA or invest from this Lifetime ISA. Also how do I decide on what to choose. They have their wealth list but i still dont know the longer term concept. Most say min £100 set up and a £25 monthly dd. Is that the dd i already have set up or would I set up amother one on top. How will i track the value. Will i see it go up or down every month and can sell at any point when i see a profit or do i leave it there for the next 10yrs? Can I just choose companies like Costco, Starbucks etc. Would they be profitable? Its a great video but so many more questions. Lol Thanks :)
They are Amaran tube lights, T2c and T4c. Also I have a couple of Aputure MC4’s on the shelves behind me. Thanks for the kind words - I’ve built the equipment up over a long time!
Evening Pete, Right I have watched most of your videos around Pensions, and investments. I want to just quietly expand my fiscal portfolio by adding perhaps a Stocks and Shares ISA (as I dont have an ISA yet). Say £25 per month for the next decade or so - to see what happens. I currently have a Pension, Savings, Bonds and other fiscal diversified stuff which I have been doing for decades. What is the best app to use - as I am completely bewildered by the options, and just want to make one that allows me to do a little S&S ISA with my taking a small punt each month.
If you dont have many savings, at what point does using an isa become beneficial. The £1000 interest limit skews things , doesn't it?? Thanks pete and crew
Crystal Ball required. Until recently Money Saving "Expert" kept saying that very few people would exceed the £1000 limit. Now you could do it with around £25000. Less than the price of most new cars. Also consider that a train driver doing a few overtime shifts could easily reach the higher tax threshold where the limit drops to £500.
Certain allowances, for example the ISA allowance, reset each year. So if you don’t use them by April 5th then those allowances are ‘lost’. That’s why there’s always a rush to get certain payments made around this time of year.
Hi, I am now one year past retirement in the UK and happily continuing to work, my company pays 3X what i pay into my pension each month, i am in a DB pension, i am happy to continue working but will it be for the tax man? Cheers and thanks for a great vlog.
Maybe it will be for the tax man. One has to ask, if you have ‘enough’ why you would continue working. The answer, usually, is because you love what you do. Do you?
Great video. I've been investing since 2018 . But like to keep up with ideas. Probably won't get an answer but . Invested in Smithson at ipo launch was doing fantastic at one point 80%. Now at 30% still happy at that but keep seeing a few comments saying it's a dog of a fund. Opinions please 😁😉
Dear Pete. Would you mind answering a quick question for me? If someone was to pay in a lump sum of 20k into a S&S ISA in any given tax year then does that mean they couldn’t then set up a direct debit as this would take them over their allowance?
That’s right. Unless the DD started in the new year. So it’s April 4th while I’m typing this. If you paid in £20k lump sum into your ISA now, as long as the DD stared after April 6th, you’d be fine
If you wanna be successful, you most take responsibility for your emotions, not place the blame on others. In addition to make you feel more guilty about your faults, pointing the finger at others will only serve to increase your sense of personal accountability. There's always a risk in every investment, yet people still invest and succeed. You must look outward if you wanna be successful in life.
Even with the right technique and assets some investors would still make more than others, as an investor, you should’ve known that by now, nothing beats experience and that’s final, personally, I had to reach out to a stock expert for guidance which is how I was able to grow my account close to a million, withdraw my profit right before the correction and now I’m buying again.
Great video. I am starting out. I have £80k in a cash ISA. Can I transfer this to a Stocks and Shares ISA, and if so, should I do this as a one off lump sum or more gradually make the transfer?
If I was you with that amount I’d get some proper advice, you can get serious advice on social media. There is a ceiling with the amount of money you can put into an isa each year. (You could put money into a parters isa) for tax purposes. I’d be careful in choosing the advisor, get some recommendations, and always understand the underlying fees of whatever products you by, I’d also suggest as you are a newbie it doesn’t have to be complicated. Or even more experienced investors don’t necessarily advocate complexity, we have lives to lead.
A LISA is good for saving for your first home. Beyond that, putting more in your pension is usually a better option. Higher rate tax payers are better off contributing the extra to their pension over a LISA, as the tax saving is greater than the government bonus on a LISA. Basic rate tax payers will see the same benefit between contributing to a pension and contributing to a LISA (i.e. to put £5k in the pot you could either put £4k in a LISA and gov grosses up to £5k, or put £5k in a pension and tax saving nets the cost down to £4k, even result either way). So you probably haven't missed much 👍
@@MPD90I'd say LISA is better for basic rate payers as a pension vehicle as it's 100% tax free on withdrawal. Still good to contribute to work pension too for employer match.
@@palmtree-e2l Personally I'd disagree. LISA you pay the income tax before you put it in, pension you pay the income tax after you withdraw it. Plus with the pension you'll only pay the tax on 75% of it when you withdraw, due to the 25% tax free amount. Lots more options for how you invest a pension also. But each to their own, neither is a bad option.
I’m curious as to why you are advising setting up a direct debit when it should be a standing order. DDs are for when a company is claiming money from you and they can choose how much, so are normally used for utility bills etc. When an individual is sending money and wants to control the amount you use a Standing Order.
While that's true technically, many providers will pull the money by direct debit and may not give you the option. You are covered by the Direct debit guarantee though, and with any modern provider you can log in at any time and change the amount being contributed, so practically, it makes little difference
@@MeaningfulMoney SOs are far more manageable though, I don’t have anything of this ilk going out by DD. I can change an SO the day before it’s due to debit my account, or even cancel it for a month the day before. DDs by nature of being claimed by the company are far less manageable.
I'm 55 this year and have a private pension that's only worth £15,000. I have a few thousand in savings and thats it. I work self employed and earn around 40,000 a year. No mortgage I rent but have no major debt. Just the normal vehicle on finance and a credit card. As I'm turning 55 it's worrying I haven't saved more but through bad decisions and life in general I am where I am. Any ideas how I can build up more money over the next ten years ? To make what I have grow and to invest more monthly into something that would help me .
Worry not - you have time, but you will need to tighten the belt and get laser-focused. This might help: ua-cam.com/video/F3nHXTlMgs4/v-deo.htmlsi=7Lb5pvozJ07Qv9jf
I always wanted to trade crypto, so I gave it a shot despite being confused by the price volatility. Even after watching many UA-cam videos, I found it difficult to understand and ended up losing my trades.
You need to decide where. He is giving you the information you need to decide on the best option for you. Everyone is different so do some research and then go for it. Good luck
A suggestion for the next video "How your money is protected". Should that £1 million in the title be split over twelve platforms? How are pensions, which could easily exceed £85000 protected ? Hopefully things have moved on since the days of Robert Maxwell, and Bernie Madoff but what rules do we have to be aware of ?
You’d likely have to sell the shares and re-buy them in the ISA. Need to check with Centrica who offer the Flexishare account - they may offer an ISA themselves…
This is great. Very clearly and concisely explained. But my question would be: why are you only suggesting these two options: stocks and shares ISA or Lifetime ISA. Why not SP 500? Isa s are for people who want to save on tax. Most of us ordinary mortals will not be saving/investing enough to pay tax. Plus Lifetime Isa is only for people up to 40...
Listen to the video again, the options, once you open an ISA on your chosen platform, then you must choose the fund or funds you want to put your money into, ie in your case the S&P 500. Just make sure the platform you choose has the S&P500 on it as platforms do differ.
First of all the S&P 500 is an index which you can invest in through a fund that tracks it. It’s not an alternative to an ISA. An ISA is a tax wrapper that gives you the platform to invest in a fund - for example the S&P 500. And the reason it’s important is because all capital gains and all income from that fund is tax free, forever. You might not think that’s important now but as your investment grows over time, you would likely pay tax on your investment gains if it’s not in an ISA. So why would you not choose an ISA??!

Investing is the only way to make your money grow and unless you have an exceptionally high income, investing is the only way most people will ever have enough money to retire.

I’d be careful in choosing the advisor, get some recommendations, and always understand the underlying fees of whatever products you by, I’d also suggest as you are a newbie it doesn’t have to be complicated. Or even more experienced investors don’t necessarily advocate complexity, we have lives to lead.
Had no clue about a LISA and missed the age limit
A LISA is good for saving for your first home. Beyond that, putting more in your pension is usually a better option. Higher rate tax payers are better off contributing the extra to their pension over a LISA, as the tax saving is greater than the government bonus on a LISA. Basic rate tax payers will see the same benefit between contributing to a pension and contributing to a LISA (i.e. to put £5k in the pot you could either put £4k in a LISA and gov grosses up to £5k, or put £5k in a pension and tax saving nets the cost down to £4k, even result either way). So you probably haven't missed much 👍
Ah, that’s a shame. Never too late to still make progress with this stuff though…
@@MPD90I'd say LISA is better for basic rate payers as a pension vehicle as it's 100% tax free on withdrawal. Still good to contribute to work pension too for employer match.
@@palmtree-e2l Personally I'd disagree. LISA you pay the income tax before you put it in, pension you pay the income tax after you withdraw it. Plus with the pension you'll only pay the tax on 75% of it when you withdraw, due to the 25% tax free amount. Lots more options for how you invest a pension also. But each to their own, neither is a bad option.
Is it too late to start at 43?
No. I started in my 50s
I’m curious as to why you are advising setting up a direct debit when it should be a standing order. DDs are for when a company is claiming money from you and they can choose how much, so are normally used for utility bills etc. When an individual is sending money and wants to control the amount you use a Standing Order.
While that's true technically, many providers will pull the money by direct debit and may not give you the option. You are covered by the Direct debit guarantee though, and with any modern provider you can log in at any time and change the amount being contributed, so practically, it makes little difference
🙈🙈🙈
@@MeaningfulMoney SOs are far more manageable though, I don’t have anything of this ilk going out by DD. I can change an SO the day before it’s due to debit my account, or even cancel it for a month the day before. DDs by nature of being claimed by the company are far less manageable.
I'm 55 this year and have a private pension that's only worth £15,000. I have a few thousand in savings and thats it. I work self employed and earn around 40,000 a year. No mortgage I rent but have no major debt. Just the normal vehicle on finance and a credit card. As I'm turning 55 it's worrying I haven't saved more but through bad decisions and life in general I am where I am. Any ideas how I can build up more money over the next ten years ? To make what I have grow and to invest more monthly into something that would help me .
Worry not - you have time, but you will need to tighten the belt and get laser-focused. This might help:

I always wanted to trade crypto, so I gave it a shot despite being confused by the price volatility. Even after watching many UA-cam videos, I found it difficult to understand and ended up losing my trades.
What we want to know is, where do we invest ❓
You need to decide where. He is giving you the information you need to decide on the best option for you. Everyone is different so do some research and then go for it. Good luck
A suggestion for the next video "How your money is protected".
Should that £1 million in the title be split over twelve platforms? How are pensions, which could easily exceed £85000 protected ? Hopefully things have moved on since the days of Robert Maxwell, and Bernie Madoff but what rules do we have to be aware of ?
Can I transfer from a flexishare account to a stocks and shares isa?
You’d likely have to sell the shares and re-buy them in the ISA. Need to check with Centrica who offer the Flexishare account - they may offer an ISA themselves…
Wish I had been able to use a Lifetime ISA but unfortunately I turned 40 just before they came into existence 😭
Blue whale fund and scottish mortgage
I’m a beginner taking baby steps gingerly and I’m already up like ~11k in one month from investing in VGT and NVDA
No idea what VGT and NVDA and 11k is balling if we're talking £/$ etc so nice one not a begineer
Both stocks are down of recent.. quit lying.
You’re so handsome 🙈🙈🙈
Aw, fanks!
This is great. Very clearly and concisely explained. But my question would be: why are you only suggesting these two options: stocks and shares ISA or Lifetime ISA. Why not SP 500? Isa s are for people who want to save on tax. Most of us ordinary mortals will not be saving/investing enough to pay tax. Plus Lifetime Isa is only for people up to 40...
Listen to the video again, the options, once you open an ISA on your chosen platform, then you must choose the fund or funds you want to put your money into, ie in your case the S&P 500. Just make sure the platform you choose has the S&P500 on it as platforms do differ.
First of all the S&P 500 is an index which you can invest in through a fund that tracks it. It’s not an alternative to an ISA.
An ISA is a tax wrapper that gives you the platform to invest in a fund - for example the S&P 500.
And the reason it’s important is because all capital gains and all income from that fund is tax free, forever. You might not think that’s important now but as your investment grows over time, you would likely pay tax on your investment gains if it’s not in an ISA.
So why would you not choose an ISA??!
You can buy S&P500 inside your ISA
I love paying tax, that’s why I don’t use an ISA said no one ever 🙄
Simply buy an index fund (S&P500 if you so desire) and put it in your ISA.
Thank everyone for your answers to this comment - couldn’t have said it better myself!
A beer will cost 0.00004 bitcoin in future
This!!! Also you can buy MicroStrategy and put it in your ISA. Which is as a good as (if not better than) buying bitcoin
Beer has intrinsic value, bitcoin doesn't...I'll have beer please.
@@kw8757 you'd be the pizza guy
@@kw8757 To be fair, currency has no intrinsic value either since the gold standard was abolished. Not that I'm a bitcoin fan.
You may well be right
