I live alone. So when they come over for the weeke I live alone. So when they come over for the weekend they naturally inject life into the place. We've done the hugs and the brief updates I get about school life. The girls are now playing Roblox online with their mates. The eldest is watching guitar videos and the little one is watching Star Wars. And I now have my feet up with a well deserved coffee after a busy week. Happy Weekend everyone!
Here's something you should probably know about st Here's something you should probably know about stocks before you buy any. #investing #investingforbeginners #stocksandshares #isa #investment #startinvesting #gettingstarted #learninvesting #buyingstocks #ukstocks #stockmarket
My Stocks & Shares ISA fell in organic value by -0 My Stocks & Shares ISA fell in organic value by -0.9% in November 2024. But rose in overall value to £44k due to my additional monthly deposits. I've received £1280 in Dividends so far for 2024 which is progress following last years £933. As it stands, we are well on course to make it to the million over the next 16 years although there's a good chance i'll get there much earlier.

I produce 3 main reports that assist investors. I produce 3 main reports that assist investors. Personal Portfolio My monthly breakdown of everything I have bought, sold, what dividends i've had and provides a transparent view of my investments. If I suggest buying XYZ stock, I believe the investor deserves to know if i've bought it or not. Weekly Watchlist The bread and butter report. Out every weekend, it breaks down which stocks I love and what prices we should be looking to buy them at. It saves investors time, and provides them with a level of analysis they often couldn't do themselves. Deep Dive Reports This is the 'WHY'. Its all well and good telling people what to buy. But if they buy it and it drops in price at any time, any investor who doesn't know the investment is going to panic. A deep dive report mitigates this by informing the investor precisely WHY this stock is so great. Financial analysis, management analysis, product/service analysis, essentially leaving the investor knowing everything they need to know about why this stock. Giving them the right reasons they need to back up their decision making. #investing #stockstobuy #valueinvesting #investingtips #moneytips #millionaire #stockmarket #finance #money #wealth #startup #entrepreneur #dividends #growthstocks #valuestocks #longterminvesting #investingforbeginners
In the podcast this week we discussed the reason w In the podcast this week we discussed the reason why investors panic when prices go down, and more importantly, how to stop feeling that way. It's all well and good saying "dont get stressed with your investing" but thats just words. It doesn't actually help. Better to understand why you feel that way. And usually, the reason you panic is because you self doubt your decision when the price drops. As if the price dropping over the next week is your primary measure of your accuracy in stock selection. But its not. Price is fickle. It rises and falls every day over the most stupid things. Its chaotic. Unpredictable. Its noise. What took the stress out of investing for me was understanding the ebbs and flows of the market do not reflect the quality of my investment decisions. Knowing the investment well, should lead to you feeling 10x better about the long term expectations of that stock. You bought at £20 and it was worth £24? Great deal! Its down to £16 today? Well, are they suddenly now a bad company? Has everything you thought about their future suddenly changed? Are results suddenly poor in the business? Because if it's still the same company doing grest things then £16 is just another opportunity. The same type of opportunity you've seen when looking back over historical charts and thinking "damn, I wish I had bought back then" whilst pointing to a previous drop in price that stands out. #investing #stockstobuy #valueinvesting #investingtips #moneytips #millionaire #stockmarket #finance #money #wealth #startup #entrepreneur #dividends #growthstocks #valuestocks #longterminvesting #investingforbeginners
When prices fall, my inbox gets busy. Everyone wan When prices fall, my inbox gets busy. Everyone wants to know "why". Beats me. I don't know! I don't need to know either. What value does knowing 'why' provide anyway? I encourage every investor to make a point of studying historical markets. Historical price moves. It's a sobering experience. Much like when Carl Sagan said Astronomy was a humbling experience because you suddenly realise man's true insignificance amongst the stars. Prices rise and fall like the waves in an ocean. We are simply here for the ride. We're not trying to predict the next wave. We are just enjoying it. Knowing that over time, it will go up. Because we've picked good growing businesses to invest into. Getting upset over prices falling over the last week was a complete waste of anyone's energy, because they're back up now. That emotional rollercoaster bores me. It's not healthy. It's not necessary to your success. And therefore, it's not for me. #investing #stockstobuy #valueinvesting #investingtips #moneytips #millionaire #stockmarket #finance #money #wealth #startup #entrepreneur #dividends #growthstocks #valuestocks #longterminvesting #investingforbeginners
Today i've spent the day catching up on XPP, RKT, Today i've spent the day catching up on XPP, RKT, HLN and NYSE: ETR. None of whom are showing any signs of making their way onto my watchlist unfortunately. But it's important to know this stuff for a few reasons:- 1) I know not to waste any more time on these stocks, at least in the near term. And time is scarce for me right now. 2) When our members ask me about these stocks i'll be able to provide accurate and useful information about 'why' we don't like them for our list. 3) It helps us keep our ear to the ground should any events happen. It's always more exciting when we do find a company we like, but 95% of stocks I analyse are not what we are looking for. And so analysing 4x stocks in a day and finding nothing of interest is a typical day for me. #investing #stockstobuy #valueinvesting #investingtips #moneytips #millionaire #stockmarket #finance #money #wealth #startup #entrepreneur #dividends #growthstocks #valuestocks #longterminvesting #investingforbeginners #smallbusiness #sme
I quit my job as an Operations Manager of a Fraud I quit my job as an Operations Manager of a Fraud Investigation Company 10 years ago. And it was the best decision I ever made. Since I was born, I always felt the pull to be my own boss. Working for other people never felt right. Today, I recognised yet another perk of being in control of my life, my work, my finances.

YT is amazing isn't it. You can almost learn anyth YT is amazing isn't it. You can almost learn anything you want to know nowadays. I remember when I first started making videos and uploading in 2012. Some 12 years ago now. Back then, it was just becoming something useful, but was still filled with "hi, this is my cat Geoffrey" videos. Today, people from all around the world, are sharing their expertise and skills with other people all over the earth for free. Of course, if you want to go deeper, you'll probably have to find a proper trainer. But for surface level stuff, and even in some cases the more advanced stuff, its amazing. Today, there's really no excuse for not knowing how to change a tyre, or reformat your hard drive, or fix your leaky tap. Want to learn how to grow veggies? Want to know how to land a plane? Invest in stocks? Play guitar? It's all there. This weekend, I have been mostly learning how to code. I have a few investment related ideas I have been wanting to explore for years. And time and time again, I come against the fact I can't code. And it keeps happening. So I thought...sod it. Lets sit down and start. And in a years time, maybe i'll be able to finally build the stuff I want to see in the world. And so I am. Today I wrote my first ever computer code. And right now i'm building a functional calculator application. Its so cool. Yesterday, I didn't even know how to write one line of code. 🤷🏻‍♂️ What a great time to be alive!!! 2025 will be the year I released my first album on Spotify, reached my first £50k in investments (hopefully) and learned how to code. Amazing!

The Stocks & Shares ISA has reached £44k as of th The Stocks & Shares ISA has reached £44k as of this week. Last month I poured £2k into my ISA and watched as it fell £2k in the following days after. Some might say that was awful luck. Or money down the drain. But this is a scarcity mindset that I don't possess. I bought shares (income producing assets) with that money. And I know that over the long term they'll be worth a lot more than what I paid for them. They'll also produce dividends along the way. So I have no concerns about this whatsoever. That £2k will probably be worth tens of thousands to me in 20 years time. Maybe even hundreds of thousands one day. So it's money very well spent in my eyes. I remember buying thousands in stock before the lockdowns. I saw them all fall 35% in value just months later. But roll on another year and they had not only recovered their pre-crash value, but I was now making big profits on them. When you adopt a long term mindset and a long term view of investing, you cant be getting emotional over a 2-3% drop in portfolio value. It's just the normal ebbs and flows of the markets. #investing #stockstobuy #valueinvesting #investingtips #moneytips #millionaire #stockmarket #finance #money #wealth #startup #entrepreneur #dividends #growthstocks #valuestocks #longterminvesting #investingforbeginners

I think that the podcast is doing well because we I think that the podcast is doing well because we focus on facts. It's utterly pointless sharing what I "think" might happen on the stockmarket. Because:- 1) I don't know 2) As a result of 1, my opinion adds no value to you What does add value is the facts of a situation. - Is the stock profitable, if so, by how much? - Are sales improving? - Are they taking on too much debt relative to profits? - Is the price right relative to underlying value? Less opinion, more focus on facts. Putting investors in a more informed position to make more informed decisions. #investing #stockstobuy #valueinvesting #investingtips #moneytips #millionaire #stockmarket #finance #money #wealth #startup #entrepreneur #dividends #growthstocks #valuestocks #longterminvesting #investingforbeginners
This past October 2024 the value of my Stocks & Sh This past October 2024 the value of my Stocks & Shares ISA portfolio fell by -£1,194 before additional deposits. A decline of -2.8%. However, the value of the portfolio rose due to my deposits of £2000 over the course of the month. I'm well under my yearly threshold, so i'm able to pump a bit more in than the usual £1666 limit. I'm still well ahead of schedule to reach my million £ target. Which is amazing considering the markets have not been kind the past 5 years. If you're investing at all right now, perhaps let me know how you're getting on this year. #investing #stockstobuy #valueinvesting #investingtips #moneytips #millionaire #stockmarket #finance #money #wealth #startup #entrepreneur #dividends #growthstocks #valuestocks #longterminvesting #investingforbeginners
Getting Started Investing in Stocks? Be careful w Getting Started Investing in Stocks? Be careful who you're listening to. Have they got results themselves? Have they achieved whatever you're aspiring to achieve? The world is full of people who want to give you their opinion on how to live your life. Dieting advice, relationship advice, financial advice. Yet many of these people are out of shape, can't keep a relationship and have no money. Consider seeking out those who have got results and use facts, instead of those who rely on theories and opinions. #investing #stockstobuy #valueinvesting #investingtips #moneytips #millionaire #stockmarket #finance #money #wealth #startup #entrepreneur #dividends #growthstocks #valuestocks #longterminvesting #investingforbeginners
The reason why I don't invest in Bitcoin 👇🏻 The reason why I don't invest in Bitcoin 👇🏻 No hate towards Bitcoin investors. I'm sure they'll all be richer than me or will reach their financial goals quicker. But I believe I should always stick to what I know. The moment I start investing in things I don't understand is the moment I start taking unnecessary risks with my capital. I tried property investing and it wasn't for me. I didn't love it. So I left that behind and focused on stocks. I'll reach my financial targets just fine. It may not have been the optimum investment vehicle of choice come the end, but i'd rather make less and know my investment, than take a risk on something I don't. Just to try and make even more. 🤷🏻‍♂️ #investing #stockstobuy #valueinvesting #investingtips #moneytips #millionaire #stockmarket #finance #money #wealth #startup #entrepreneur #dividends #growthstocks #valuestocks #longterminvesting #investingforbeginners
Thank you to everyone who tunes into the podcast s Thank you to everyone who tunes into the podcast show. I started recording them in Jan 2023 and back then it was getting maybe 50 downloads a week. Fast forward nearly 2 years of consistently turning up every week and it's now hit 1250 downloads a week. Utterly bonkers. Every week I hear from a new listener who says they've struck gold stumbling across it and it's just so wonderful to hear that people not only enjoy it, but now make it part of their weekly routine to tune in. I get people telling me they've listened to every episode. There's like 107!!! I daren't calculate the number of hours that must be! I couldn't ask for any more though. That's literally the highest praise I could ever ask for or expect from anyone. 5000 Downloads a month !!! 🤯 #investing #stockstobuy #valueinvesting #investingtips #moneytips #millionaire #stockmarket #finance #money #wealth #startup #entrepreneur #dividends #growthstocks #valuestocks #longterminvesting #investingforbeginners #smallbusiness #sme #podcast #newpodcast #favouritepodcast #moneypodcast #investingpodcast #wealthpodcast #stockspodcast
Over the last week we've seen the value of some of Over the last week we've seen the value of some of our positions fall slightly. Nothing dramatic, but it means the window of buying opportunity remains open for a little while longer. Today i'm looking deep into a brick making company here in the UK and providing some analysis on the business. This involves reading over 15 years of annual reports, crunching all the financial data and providing some detailed insight into how it's been performing and what we think of its investment potential. I've got the usual routine of the podcast recording later in the week, plus more analysis later and then at the weekend i'm going to be recording footage for the new beginners course for beginner investors which will be 100% free and will hopefully guide complete beginners to the point where they feel confident buying their first shares and building their portfolios. #investing #stockstobuy #valueinvesting #investingtips #moneytips #millionaire #stockmarket #finance #money #wealth #startup #entrepreneur #dividends #growthstocks #valuestocks #longterminvesting #investingforbeginners #smallbusiness #sme
