An engaging tale that teaches the fundamentals of saving and attitudes you should have towards money. I listen to this at least once per year.
A random walk down Wall Street:
Let Burton Gordon Malkiel, explain everything you need to know about trying to beat the market.

Hi Guys, so this video is getting a lot more traction than I ever thought it would!

For this reason I thought it was important to say. That while in this video I talk about Vanguard. This is not the only broker I use, as I have been investing for a while I have ISA accounts with 4 different brokers. Take a look at Hargreaves Lansdown, trading 212, Freetrade and Vanguard before you make your decision.

You can always switch in April. But I feel I should have made it clearer that you can do this style of investing with them all!

Thanks

Damo

I'm 54 and my wife and I are VERY worried about our future, gas and food prices rising daily. We have had our savings dwindle with the cost of living into the stratosphere, and we are finding it impossible to replace them. We can get by, but can't seem to get ahead. My condolences to anyone retiring in this crisis, 30 years nonstop just for a crooked system to take all you worked for.

We are already in a big crash Inflation is a catastrophe. This CPI report is a colossal failure. To bring the housing market to a halt, the FED will have to pull all the stops. The unfortunate issue is that other markets are being decimated. If you want to stay green, you have to rely on a lot of diversification. Currently up 14% and being careful. Still a better deal than leaving it in a savings or checking account yielding 0-1 percent interest.

With all this scary news making the headlines, is this really a good time to buy stocks? I know everyone says the market is ripe enough for buying but will stocks tank further this year? How long until a full stock recovery? How are other people in this market raking in over $250k gains within months, I'm really just confused at this point.

Thank you so much for this well explained and well informed video. I’ve always been put off by other people trying to explain this to me, they made it so complicated and confusing. You are an excellent teacher. Looking forward to watching more of your videos and I’m excited about investing in the market now, and looking forward to the future! 🎉

[johnmcmahon]

Thank you for making it so simple to understand. I've been dabbling for more than a year trying to wrap my head around everything and in one video you explain so much so clearly.

[matthewridley]

Hi Damien, I just want to say thanks! Great Content! As someone who has been watching many youtube videos about investing, this is the first channel that explains everything step by step, clearly and concisely. I will be binging all your videos and following your advice. Keep up the great work!

[AdhdandmeEmma]

This has been amazing thanks so much. I have been searching and searching for a video on how to make this "investing" understandable and I finally feel like the lightbulb has went off above my head. I know there will be a lot more to it but its a start! thank you

[starlizgold]

OMG Damien you are the god of investment education/demos! Damn!
You have no idea how priceless this is. For once all the essentials are found in one single video so practical to the point of setting up the fund itself!

Amazing
God bless you

These videos are ridiculously helpful. This stuff is confusing when you're not familiar to it, but you have managed to simplify it so well. Subscribed.

[LouiseEllen]

Really appreciate this video/ clarity. Be great to see you do a video on perhaps investing a small amount of money in an index (say £100) and the consequences etc. Sort of a how to dip your toe into investing when you don’t have a lot to play with. That would be really interesting & helpful :)

[georgex]

I wish I had come across this video earlier. It took me weeks to find the same knowledge you have shared in 20 minutes. Great work

[jonc]

Very clear explanatory video. I was talking to a colleague at work who invests in a stocks and shares ISA and he has recommended me to get one. Im a total beginner. Ive watched a few of your vids and have a better idea of what they are and how to start investing. Im 38 and want to put funds aside for later life. Keep the vids coming. They are really good

[louisgianfrancesco]

Thank you for this video Damien. Had it in my mind to invest in some form of stock/share, instead of my money sitting in my bank account like dead weight. Very grateful for this free information and video. Subbed and liked! Looking forward to learning more from yourself! Cheers.

[kiahdefoe]

This video was brilliant! I’m a beginner from the UK and this video was so simple to follow. Great analogies and brilliant explanations. I had to subscribe!!!

[lushhbomb]

I cannot thank you enough Damien for this amazing content. As a beginner who came to this video knowing nothing, I can confirm that this has been the most easy to understand walkthrough :)

[Cypher]

By far, the most helpful video I've found on this subject, and I've been looking for a while. Thank you.
