It's certain that this year will bring more challenging challenges. Looking back, I realized that I spent the entire previous year making expensive financial blunders because I was so consumed with worrying about my portfolio. I was forced to decide between raising my investments and purchasing a home. I discovered that the property I had bought needed more work than I had anticipated after deciding to sell my investments. It's becoming more difficult to determine how much longer I can take this.

Ive also own an electric mg4 xpower because its exceleration in a straight line from 0-60 is 3.8secs, faster than many petrol cars that are 3times more expensive. It has the advantage that a full battery charge is under £10

Hi Ramin, happy new year! It seems it is going to be a year with all the political changes in US. The year started with the news on Steel. Do you think it may be a good time to invest in X?

You said you would keep 5 years money so that you don't need to take money out of your investments.... but what happens after a year? You only have 4 years left of cash now, do you continue to take money out as long as markets have gone up, and then don't take it out if markets are down and hope it goes up again before you run out of money?

Hi Ramin, I’d love to be a member, but £5.70 just to view your videos early doesn’t make sense. I’d absolutely love to be a premium member but almost £20 a month just isn’t possible for me. I think adding some of the other features such as beginner bundle and member only videos would make it much more worth while and justifiable for people like myself who are just starting off.

Hi Ramin. Would really like to get more of an understanding regarding individual inflation linked gilts (including how to calculate return and portfolio weighting). Any chance of a deep dive video on the subject sometime? 🙂

Thanks for the analysis! Could you help me with something unrelated: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). Could you explain how to move them to Binance?

[Doozler]

You lost me at "not a great start to 2024"

Lost a month of return, and you don't even know what year it is... how am I supposed to follow you after That?

Also, your sound is still too quiet.
Got the volume turned all the way up, can barely hear your whispering little voice, speak up mate
