I started investing at the peak of the market at the begining of this year. A very rough start but ive been adding as much as possible to get my average cost down which is giving me hope! I feel like its actually helped lossing money from the off.. exercising that emotion cant hurt, surely? 😅

[ravindersingh]

I love your level-headed views in these volatile times. Thanks.

[simonmiller]

As always, brilliant content, as someone who is planning to retire next year then I found myself more worried but that was probably due to how it had increased in the last year exponentially, it was a good reminder that I have invested monthly for the last 35 years and when I draw down next year, maybe years 1&2 may be slightly lower amounts whilst the funds recover but overall, the 35 year steady investment and growth is incredible so I would others to listen and follow the best advisor and content creator on these matters

[cleolovehall]

You in my ears everyday morning night before I go to sleep your content is amazing continue leaning also on 75inch then switch to an ipad

[emmaburgess]

Thank for you for your sensible advice. Enjoy these portfolio updates

[markdillon]

The only thing Ive done is balance out my US holding and my European holdings. 35% US and 35% Europe, rest of the world gets 30%. A good spread and well diversified - and not as US focused as a global index. Thats the problem with Global index trackers - way too US focused under the current circumstances.

Toby's love the sequential numbers

[martinkb]

67% in your S&P 500 is quite a high percentage in the current market. Have you considered tweaking the percentages a little?

[evilpie]

Perfect timing for me being in the fortunate position to be able to invest my full £20k immediately. Managed to get in on 8th April purchasing VEVE at a slightly lower price than the same time last year. Portfolio is down £60k over the last 3 months but won't need to sell anything off for a good few so I'm loving this little dip.
Thanks to yourself and other similar channels for making me happy about this instead of turning in to a panicking wreck 🤣🤣

[Wittygoose]

You're 1/2 of my go to youtube investment content for a calm and thoughtful source of information. Joseph Carlson is excellent too, Toby for ETF's and Joseph for stocks.

[PaulClarke-gn]

Thanks Toby, great video - I think just keep DCA long term.

[angussssssssssss]

Hey Toby - just saw a video on the benefits of investing daily vs monthly. Would love to know your take on this.

[themindmovementUK]

Lovely Job Toby - Good to hear your honest views and wisdom

[FOWP]

Genuinely great video as always Toby. I enjoy watching your content.

I do agree that putting money in every single month and being consistent is key, however, i think if one has a few extra pennies, during a market decline, it does make sense to put these in when prices are lower and there's no harm in doing so!

[peterwstacey]

Great video Toby! Definitely agree on the concept of just keep on going, it will sort itself out over decades (if we personally have that long). Keep an eye on bonds - the idea that things will go on as they have for the past 100 years kind of assumes the same free trade setup we had during that time. Probably a good assumption, but tarrifs can derail that. The Bond Market is probably the one thing big enough to force the status quo, , as Truss and now Trump found.

[mikestraveldiary]

Stop spamming. Have some respect for Toby for godsake.

[RichieKeane]

SGLN and WDEP … still up. Bonds wrecked but dividends due… buying the dip but reckon it’s going to be 6mons to come back to 2wks ago… doesn’t matter so long as inflation doesn’t jump above 4% if forecast is 4-7% growth…

[alexbosch]

65 inch TV 😁 when the market panics, that's the best time to buy in!

[sillymadeupusername]

I know financial investment people always use the expression "Long term" - this is fine if you are in your twenties, thirties or forties - But eventually you run out of term - I'm 64 - just gone into semi-retirement which is rapidly turning into full retirement - I have no long term left.

[markellis]

Time to take a little off gold me thinks and buy the etfs 😊
