5 Beginners Investing Mistakes I’ll Never Make Again!

Today I thought i’d share some common investing mistakes, along with some investing mistakes that i’ve personally made throughout the course of my investing journey which began in late 2017. I started my investing journey on Vanguard UK, investing in a collection of funds that they offer on their platform, before moving onto Trading 212 in 2020, to benefit from lower fees, and a wider range of investment options. However it's over this period of time investing in the market that i’ve made a couple of investing mistakes myself, which I wanted to share so you can hopefully learn something from them.

Successful investing is hard work because it means disciplining your mind to do the opposite of human nature. Buying during a panic, selling during euphoria, and holding on when you are bored and just craving a little action. Investing is 5% intellect and 95% temperament.

This is a very enlightening video. Passive income investments can provide a steady stream of income with relatively little effort, helping to diversify a portfolio and achieve long term financial goals.

1. 0:30 Not using a Tax-Advantaged Account (e.g. S&S ISA vs GIA)
2. 3:05 Not matching your holdings to your risk appetite
3. 6:04 Avoid paying high fees when investing.
4. 10:37 Buying based on past performance.
5. 12:26 Short-term thinking.

Hi Mitch, not sure you'll even see this but i've had 8 separate ad breaks trying to watch this video, making accessing your content extremely arduous and difficult.

[Elizyymetelss]

I’m new to investing, and l've lost over $60K trying out strategies I found in online tutorials, I would sincerely appreciate any recommendations on investments you have.

[RomanBickel]

I reached $70k today. Thank you for all the knowledge and insights you've shared with me over the past few months. I am a single Dad and i live in Florida, i bought a new Car in September and i hope to retire next year at 45 if all goes well. Financial education is essential for over 70% of the population, as only a few are truly literate in this area.
Thanks so much Angie Chen Owens

Binance infinity ETH bug right now

The HMRC jar needs to be much bigger haha =) great video again Mitch

[Episkopi]

Good video. However, surprised you did not talk about a SIIP. Assuming you're working - you're paying tax today, so might as well claw some of that money back, which then compounds over multiple decades as opposed to the ISA method. If you fall into the higher tax bands (which lets face it, so many more people will with the freezing of the nil rate band), then a SIIP makes even more sense.

[sgreen]

The irony of Vanguard talking about fee structures (UK viewers will get it 😅😂)

[sathim]

Thank you for very useful information. When will we get next portfolio update?

A huge mistake I made with the stock market was not separating my love for the product from the stock.

Boring stocks often outperform New gamechanger stocks. You dont have to invest in revolutionary companies to make ££

[Kanecousins]

Hi mate I saw on one of your videos you mentioned your SIPP. What are you investing into I’m thinking all world ETF and high dividend. Thank you

[jordansperring-lee]

I get adverts on videos …. but the amount on this one were ridiculous 😅

[thecammander]

The vast majority of people, well, at least people like me, they will probably never be able to invest £20k a year into an isa, the benefit is any gains or dividends are going to be tax free. If you have worked hard enough to max out an ISA, I'd recommend doing your research into the tax code about stocks and shares outside of an ISA or speak to a financial advisor

[Kazansky]

I've maxed my ISA and my 1k PSA on my savings so I assume I'm correct in thinking to use Invest account to take advantage of Capital Gains Tax relief?

[keirankainth]

How did you avoid the speculating on forex trap that most fall into and instead opted for the smarter investing route?

[Chrisheron]

My take is this (plagiarising a lot of wise advice)..'When others are greedy be fearful, when others are fearful, be greedy'. I cant wait for the next S&P 'crash'..to me...its a huge sale! Either way I dont give a shit as my time horizon is over 20 years. Low fee S&P ISA..Avoid headlines, dont daytrade gamble (unless you have a PHD in Daytrading)...keep it super simple then simply 'index and chill'...keep it unbelievably simple!!

[alcoholicvillan]

Could I have both a cash isa and stocks and shares isa?
How would this work?
Am I allowed several isa’s?

[raptor]

Can you move funds from an invest account to a stocks isa on 212, assuming not?
