Why I Believe Tesla [NYSE: TSLA] are grossly overp Why I Believe Tesla [NYSE: TSLA] are grossly overpriced. I appreciate that some stocks have a lot of future potential priced in, but TSLA seems to be a bit over the top right now. If you bought the whole business for $250 per share, you'd be getting a 1.7% return from profits a year and $20 per share in equity. I don't know about you, but for me that's just far too high. I've bought slices of businesses where for every £2 share i've gained £2 in equity, plus profits of 8% and also including 3% dividends a year. Of course, theres not the same potential growth as TSLA I recognise that. But 400% premium on the true worth seems..... nutty. 🤷🏻‍♂️ It's a lot of risk to take when you don't need to. They may do great, and I love the company and I loe Elon's work. But as an investor, it's not a risk i'm willing to take. #investing #stockstobuy #valueinvesting #investingtips #moneytips #millionaire #stockmarket #finance #money #wealth #startup #entrepreneur #dividends #growthstocks #valuestocks #longterminvesting #investingforbeginners
We Should Have All Been Taught THIS At School! 👇🏻 10% of everything you earn should be yours to keep. Instead, we give it all away, each and every time. When I look for great businesses, I look for ones who keep a % of their profits for themselves. So they can use it to reinvest in their business and grow it. So that next year they make more sales and more profit. There's no end to this upwards cycle. You just keep doing it. You become a money making machine. #makingmoney #howtomakemoney #howtogrowoninstagram #moneylessons #valueinvesting #investing #investingtips #makemoremoney #makingmoneyonline #millionaire #wealthbuilding #wealthmindset #howtomakemoremoney #payrise #payraise #savingmoney
I much prefer to be busy, and I love what I do eve I much prefer to be busy, and I love what I do every day. Some people say I work too hard, but to me it's not work. I love investing, building wealth and adding value to others. So i'm fortunate that after 12 years of doing this I am still able to be my own boss and do the things I love. I sometimes forget where I once was. Miserable. Working for someone I didn't like, in a job I didn't want to do, in an office I didn't want to be in, surrounded by people I didn't want to be with. I do my best work when my back is against the wall. Always have. So when I quit my 9-5 back in 2012, I had to make it work. Today, I get to analyse stocks, build a business I love, work with people I like, wherever I want to be. Oh, and I make more money too. 🤷🏻‍♂️ #investing #stockstobuy #valueinvesting #investingtips #moneytips #millionaire #stockmarket #finance #money #wealth #startup #entrepreneur #dividends #growthstocks #valuestocks #longterminvesting #investingforbeginners #investingforbeginnersuk
When I started getting my financial education, I w When I started getting my financial education, I was 32. Over the last 10 years I made a ton of mistakes that cost me money and more importantly, TIME. These include trying to trade short term markets, lending 5 figures sums to people who didn't pay me back and spending on things I regret. Now at 42, I think I have learned all my lessons. I'm now debt free also. But i'm making it my job to give my daughter financial education now, at 11. So that she can learn from my mistakes and hopefully not make as many as I did. By the time she is in her 30's, we expect her to be receiving something in the region of £10k a year dividend income. By her 40's she will be a millionaire if all goes right. She will be independent, and won't need anyone else's money to do whatever she wants to do. Which I hope will be a positive legacy I leave behind. #fatherdaughter #fatherdaughtertime #strongwoman #independentwoman #financialeducation #financialeducator #teachingmoney #moneymatters #investingtips #investingforbeginners #investingforkids #helpingkids #legacy #leavingalegacy
I Got a Ton of Stick for my Analysis on This Stock I Got a Ton of Stick for my Analysis on This Stock 👇🏻 In 2020, I ran my analysis of Aston Martin Lagonda plc and came to the conclusion they were not the right investment for me. I found far too many issues with the business facts. I posted this online and received some kind words of appreciation for sharing the information. But also some backlash from people clearly married to the stock emotionally. They argued that my factual analysis did not account for what they all thought MIGHT happen in the future. I don't invest this way. In fact, after reading and studying the great investors of our time like Buffet, Munger, Lynch, Templeton and Carret, I found that none of them invested this way. Overlooking the facts in favour of the story you are being fed, or worse, a story you invented yourself, is a recipe for failure. Confirmation Bias runs rife in the minds of amateur investors. I say to my members, it's absolutely fine to have ideas and opinions on stocks. But make sure the facts reflect those ideas and opinions before you go throwing your money at it. #investing #stockstobuy #valueinvesting #investingtips #moneytips #millionaire #stockmarket #finance #money #wealth #startup #entrepreneur #dividends #growthstocks #valuestocks #longterminvesting #investingforbeginners
This month on my road to £1,024,867 The overall This month on my road to £1,024,867 The overall value of my portfolio rose in September, but the organic value fell. At the start of the month we sat at £41,731. Over the course of the month, I pumped in a further £1,500 as i'm now debt free and therefore have extra funds I can add each month, which is awesome. We also received £33.89 in dividends for the month. So far that's now £887 year to date. I spent £2,102 of the cash in the account buying new or increasing existing positions. This included £600 in a high-risk penny stock i'm watching and now own a slice of. I didn't sell anything. I rarely do. Overall the organic value fell -£1,208.90 But due to adding £1,500 We ended the month up, on £42,022.16 #investing #stockstobuy #valueinvesting #investingtips #moneytips #millionaire #stockmarket #finance #money #wealth #startup #entrepreneur #dividends #growthstocks #valuestocks #longterminvesting #investingforbeginners #makingmoney #passiveincome #investingtips #businessgrowth
If you're interested in investing in UK Stocks the If you're interested in investing in UK Stocks then one of my best resources for FREE information is my podcast 'Diary of a UK Stock Investor'. Comes out every Thursday. 45 minutes per episode or thereabouts. This week looking at the financials of 3x UK stocks Card Factory plc, AG Barr plc and Dr Martens plc. We also discuss in detail why you don't need to try and predict what stocks are going to do. In fact, this often hurts you. There is a much wiser approach you can take. But check out the show and if you enjoy the show please drop me a line and let me know. Always nice to hear from our listeners.

The longer you wait, the less money you'll make. The longer you wait, the less money you'll make. People sometimes say to me "is now the right time to get started?" Yes! Every year you wait is another year of compounding missed. Another year of no dividend income. When you reach £100k in value an extra year could provide £10-£30k in value. "What if the market crashes right after I start?". That would be great! Because in 10 years not only will your pre-crash positions be back or higher to their original value. But everything you buy afterwards will have been bought at a bargain and you'll have made extra profits. Don't delay, get started today. That's two rhyming sentences in one post, so i'll quit now whilst i'm ahead. #investing #stockstobuy #valueinvesting #investingtips #moneytips #millionaire #stockmarket #finance #money #wealth #startup #entrepreneur #dividends #growthstocks #valuestocks #longterminvesting #investingforbeginners #smallbusiness #entrepreneurs #smebusiness #businessowners #dentists #doctors
I call Wednesday's my "half day". But it's actuall I call Wednesday's my "half day". But it's actually one of my longest days in truth. It's the day in the week I see my son after school. Which involves a 50 mile drive. But I get so excited driving down to see him. We always have the best time together. We play, eat, read, talk about school and life. Shout out to all the decent Dads out there who actually work hard to be great Dads whilst working on their businesses, working on themselves and attempting to add value in the world. Sometimes life doesn't always work out the way you planned. But i've always believed that tough times make tough people. And I am super grateful that I have such an awesome relationship with my kids. In a way, perhaps not seeing them every day enhances that, because when we do spend time together its 100% presence and real quality bonding time. I know some Dads that live with their kids yet barely talk to them each day. My only hope is that when i'm gone, my kids will look back and think "he was a good dad". #son #dad #dadandson #fatherandsonday #fatherandson #family #life #investing #investingtips #stockstobuy #dividends #longterminvesting #singledad #qualitytime #onetoone #busydad #longday #dayinthelife #stockinvestor #stockinvesting #howtoinvest #investinstocks #stocksandshares #playpark #fatloss #diary #vlogday
Why I Love Stockmarket Crashes! 👇🏻 Many inv Why I Love Stockmarket Crashes! 👇🏻 Many investors fear a crash, but when you know, in detail, what you are investing in, buying more at 30-40% off is an opportunity to make more money down the road. It requires a degree of patience and a long term view of things. But it can be a once in a decade opportunity, providing you know what you are looking for. #investing #stockstobuy #valueinvesting #investingtips #moneytips #millionaire #stockmarket #finance #money #wealth #startup #entrepreneur #dividends #growthstocks #valuestocks #longterminvesting #investingforbeginners #business #smallbusiness
How I Value Shares 👇🏻 I have zero interest How I Value Shares 👇🏻 I have zero interest in trying to predict market or prices. I know I don't have the ability to do it. And after 10 years of investing don't think anyone can do it with accuracy or consistency. Yet 95% of investors and traders (figure plucked from the air but based on experience) seem to think they are supposed to make predictions. Even some of my clients tell me how they still catch themselves trying to time the markets. They'll wait because the price fell yesterday and they think it might again today, so they don't buy the stock in the hope of getting a slightly better price. Then the price goes up and they curse themselves for getting it wrong. Or they'll get in and then curse the fact they should have waited a day. Sheesh. All a waste of time and energy! All I do is find great businesses, in great financial health, doing wonderful things. And then I work out what price i'd be happy to buy them at. Eaxh month, I have some money to invest and I buy the ones that meet my pricing expectations. No predictions. No trying to time the markets. No getting my knickers in a twist. Just buying great stocks at great prices. It's led to me turning £4k into £42k in what is arguably some of the most turbulent years in the markets 2019-2024. #investing #stockstobuy #valueinvesting #investingtips #moneytips #millionaire #stockmarket #finance #money #wealth #startup #entrepreneur #dividends #growthstocks #valuestocks #longterminvesting #investingforbeginners
How to Get Started Investing in Stocks & Shares 👇🏻 It's incredibly easy and simple to get started investing. You just need some spare cash, a Stocks & Shares ISA, and to know which stocks to buy. The first two you can do yourself. The final aspect is where I specialise in. But before you get started, if you want to get the best starting education I have a FREE 4 Hour video course you can do on my website. I don't make any money from it obviously. But I do it because a % of those who do it may well check out my podcast, or maybe even eventually join my investment club. It also helps people get started in the world of investing and sets them off on the right foot. If you're interested, drop me a DM to say hi. #investing #stockstobuy #valueinvesting #investingtips #moneytips #millionaire #stockmarket #finance #money #wealth #startup #entrepreneur #dividends #growthstocks #valuestocks #longterminvesting #investingforbeginners
How to Cope with the Stress of Falling Share Price How to Cope with the Stress of Falling Share Prices 👇🏻 My investments must be profitable, be using that profit well, use low amounts of debt, and be priced at a level that makes sense to buy at. I buy every month, regardless of market conditions. This takes the stress out of the process. Because.... A) No need to try and time the markets. I buy every month. 🤷🏻‍♂️ B) I know what i'm buying is a great business. Its just 30-40% off in a crash. C) If I was okay buying at £10, why would I not buy the same profitable, successful company at £6? When you know what you're investing in, crashes are very VERY welcome. #investing #stockstobuy #valueinvesting #investingtips #moneytips #millionaire #stockmarket #finance #money #wealth #startup #dividends #growthstocks #valuestocks #lomgterminvesting #investingforbeginners #stocksandshares
How My Stocks & Shares ISA Gained £666.15 in Augu How My Stocks & Shares ISA Gained £666.15 in August 2024 👇🏻 We started the month on £40,001 and ended up on £41,730. £1000 was pumped in this past month by myself. I'm able to increase my monthly deposits now that i'm free of all debt. And £666.15 came from the actual organic growth of the portfolio itself. A +1.7% increase in value. £64.30 came from dividend payouts, bringing total 2024 dividends to £853 so far. Which is awesome. This now brings my 2024 organic returns to 13.74% for 2024 which is superb. It goes to show what can be achieved by handpicking the right stocks for the right reasons. #investing #stockstobuy #valueinvesting #investingtips #moneytips #millionaire #stockmarket #finance #money #wealth #startup #entrepreneur #dividends #growthstocks #valuestocks #longterminvesting #investingforbeginners
Just finished recording EP101 of the Podcast. Stil Just finished recording EP101 of the Podcast. Still got my 5yo until Sunday so still not fully into the swing of my analysis and usual routines. But I am a firm believer that we reached 4000 downloads a month by turning up every single week. Even when life got in the way. This week we're talking in depth about what we look for in stocks and why we buy them, as well as what kind of results we've seen over the last 10 years by handpicking stocks. #investing #stockstobuy #valueinvesting #investingtips #moneytips #millionaire #stockmarket #finance #money #wealth #startup #entrepreneur #dividends #growthstocks #valuestocks #longterminvesting #investingforbeginners
