As a long term investor/trader I have consumed hundreds of financial books and endured countless hours of self education. My hope is that this channel will reduce the learning curve duration of many aspiring investors by providing the key information in a concise and enjoyable manner.

After a nightmarish 2022, shell-shocked investors have losses to recoup and plenty to ponder, as an inflation report and a raft of other data did little to change expectations that the Federal Reserve would likely continue hiking interest rates even if the economy slows down, Which means more red ink for portfolios for the first quarter of year 2023. How can I profit from the current volatile market, I'm still at a crossroads deciding if to liquidate my $250k bond/stock portfolio.

Roughly £120k in my portfolio are in tech/TSLA stocks, can I get an advice on any other stocks that I can acquire to diversify my reserve across multiple markets while creating a comprehensive portfolio allocation that balances my concerns of risk aversion and returns that meet yearly inflation.

Wonderful head spinning video. I sent the link to my brother, a London School of Economics grad, who insists that the markets are utterly random. Like your other excellent videos, this one is also elegant, fun, and readily understandable. Thanks so much for all the hard work Gareth!

I've been reading The Man Who Solved the Market for a bit now it's super interesting

[S_P]

I will be once the one talked about in your video🥂

[TruthSeekerAll]

There are ways to use maths to generate a steady income from the markets every month. I just don’t know how. Those in the know are not telling it. I just wish Financial Wisdom will discover it one day and make a video on it. 😅😂

Wow, he was able to build one of the best funds in the world and then closed it off to outsiders.

[picardjluk]

yikes looks to me like they build model that took from the 61, 8 % traders since it mostly was about behavioral changes and profiting from people's habits. It wouldn't sit right with me I guess.

Was Simon good guy.
Every partner he had, he loose them

[carolynrose]

I'm starting to believe whoever seeks finds. This is definitely one of the most valuable videos on YouTube teaching this subject ! It really made no sense to me when he said ''It doesn't matter whether I'm right or wrong, whether the market goes up and down. I'm good regardless''. People are really losing a sh*t ton of money out here. I personally have been buying stocks since the beginning of the year and yet nothing's changed, but I've been reading articles of people still in the same market pulling off over 350k in just a couple months. Its tough out here!

Thank you for your video. The market seems to be bouncing back but a lot of people lost huge sums already. I Will advice traders especially newbies to have orientation of trading before they get involved in it because the Crypto market has been unstable, forget predictions and start making good profit now because future valuations are all guesses. I must say trading offers more benefits than just holding and i have made over 19btc from day trading with Florence Osborn insights and signals in less than 3 weeks

Best advice I ever got was, "Invest For The Long Haul, Don't Get Too Greedy And Don't Get Too Scared. The biggest risk of all is not taking one"

..Nobody can become financially successful overnight. They put in background work but we tend to see the finished part. Fear is a dangerous component, hindering us from taking bold steps we need in other to reach our goals. you have to contend with inflation, recession, decisions from the Feds and all. I was able to increase my portfolio by $289k in months. You have to seek for help in the right places

[VictorVelez-pe]

ive read that book. absolutly amazing story. that guy is built different. I just wish the strategy is revealed .

[williamkz]

Thanks Gareth. Very thought provoking. One of your best. I do wish we'd been taught math better at school! Without math, there's always going to be a gap between our aspirations and our achievements. Another lesson is that, however good you are, you can usually benefit from a partner who sees things slightly differently - someone who can add a new dimension to the process.

[lorenzomizushal]

I think Jim Simons was a good trader but Renaissance Technology is a better trader than Jim alone lol.

[Bubs]

Gareth, you are the man. Out of all the investment/trading youtube channels I have discovered, you have the most worthwhile videos available.

[nomcognom]

His style is technical analysis, from a binominal point of view between technical and fundamental, since he uses prices to trade but it takes it to a whole new level of complexity and efficiency.

°How can I get more profitable investment in the market? Is this pump shorts getting wrecked and liquidated, or any indication of whale, corporate treasury buys?
