Thanks for the great video and links Damien. I think the webpage where people put in their email maybe having a few issues. Getting a ‘bad url’ error on chrome or safari.
Thanks Damo you are the man, keep up the good work!
@JayantKaul Hi mate! So I tested a load of different ways and it all looks good from my end, I have also asked other people to test and all good. Please let me know if you keep having issues and we can investigate further!
Off topic but your KZhead videos have amazing look and editing, could you please share what tool you use and any tips how you learnt editing please ?
@@GullaBulla Thank you! So i have edited all but 2 of the videos on this channel myself so you can see every bit of editing i have ever done on here. If you go back to my first video, you will see it was nothing special. Good editing takes time, both to learn and to just do even when you have learnt, in fact the more you learn the longer it seems to take. So just understand if you want to edit a video to a good level it will take a while. But you can 100% create a vibe without a crazy edit, music choice, audio and sound all help a lot. I also like cutting to a beat. I use Davinci resolve to edit on but honestly he software is not important, any of the good editors will do. I enjoy editing when i have the luxury of time to pour into it but i also hate it when i have to rush... The best advice is pick a software and then start watching youtube tutorials on how to do things, It is kind of like playing an instrument it just takes ages to get good... But now i can see an edit in youtube video, Netflix or whatever and think ok i can probably work out what is being done here.
It's a common misconception that when a stock you buy skyrockets, the smart thing to do is sell it (or at least sell some of it) to lock in your profits. But the context matters. If the stock has increased sharply because the business is performing exceptionally well, it could still be a bargain. I'm still looking for companies to make additions to my $350K portfolio, to boost performance. Here for ideas
I agree that there are strategies that could be put in place for solid gains regardless of economy or market condition, but such executions are usually carried out by investment experts or advisors with experience
A lot of folks downplay the role of advlsors until being burnt by their own emotions. I remember couple summers back, after my lengthy divorce, I needed a good boost to help my business stay afloat, hence I researched for licensed advisors and came across someone of utmost qualifications. She's helped grow my reserve notwithstanding inflation, from $275k to $850k.
This is definitely considerable! think you could suggest any professional/advisors i can get on the phone with? I'm in dire need of proper portfolio allocation.

Getting back into investing recently, I've just read Psychology of Money and this video resonates so hard with the lessons in that book. Great video, concise, no bs, well edited, and informative. Easiest subscribe ever.
Nice!!! Clear and very well structured video!
Brilliant explanation that’s genuinely empowering. Thankyou.
Outstanding Commentary!!!! Priceless!!!! Thank You!!!
Took your advice on understanding all the jargon and haven't looked back. Thank you for making investing easier to understand.
Bloody brilliant video. Thanks Damien
Always heartfelt advice Damien, thank you for what you do
I rarely rarely comment on YT videos as I just watch and move on. I'm 30 years old and just started investing so I hopped on YT and typed in "learn investing" and your video popped up. With our attention spans getting shorter and shorter I was amazed at how captivating and easy to understand your video was. Your analogy about why investing in the magnificent 7 might not be the best thing for 10 years down the line same for the US S&P 500 was something I would have never thought about. At the end I thought to myself " What? 14 minutes is already up?" Could have binge watched this if it was a 3 episode 40 minute series! Amazing job on this video man! Subscribed and going to watch as much as I can
Love this feedback thank you so much!
I’ve watched a lot of these videos & gotta say your ending summary has to be the best advice out of all of them.
Your videos are spot on mate, happy new year!
Excellent video, especially the last few minutes which put things in a real perspective.
Thanks for sharing Damien. I always enjoy watching your videos
Much appreciated… thank you!🙏
thanks. Great advice.
Brillant! Thanks Damien
Thanks for the financial advice 🤓
This is probably the best advice I've heard on KZhead, well done
Thanks Damien, for reinforcing the index fund strategy. Once in a while I need this to stick to the routine :)
You rock! Quality content and presentation
Hey man, just wanted to say brilliant video. Not only you made it fun for me and my dad to watch but you made it so much easier to understand. Thank you and i wish everyone who watches your video great success and prosperity! :)
Love that you watched this with your dad I hope it helped you both!
Knocked it out of the park again. Well done.
Good, level-headed, & above all understandable material.
Finally somebody that can explain how it all works, in simple terms. This has been a great help. Thank you 😊
Thanks Damien. I love how you explain things with great understandable visuals and a warm approach. Somehow you bring empathy and heart to finance.
Absolutely fantastic video mate. Amazing :)
Thank you so much for your videos and for the cheat sheet!
You have just got a new subscriber. Was just finding something on google on what to invest in and this is a great explanation of stocks. Thank you 👍
I don't usually comment on videos and have never watched one of yours, but I genuinely think this might be the best video I've ever watched in my life, thank you!
Thank you for sharing
Great video. Focussing on mentality is huge
Quality video mate! Thanks
Very compelling video, can tell you have done alot of research. Awesome work. 👍
Top banana. Never commented on a video before. These are good. Thanks
I’m a Chartered Financial Planner here in the UK and this is honestly one of the best explanations of investing for the longer-term in low-cost index solutions I’ve seen. You hit the nail on the head and your graphs are fantastic highlighting the need to ride out the volatility. I also think your spreadsheets are fantastic mate. Keep up the great work, I love these videos.
Hi Max! Lovely way to start my weekend this, for you to give my content the thumbs up as a licensed professional means the world. Thank you!
Such a brilliant video, thanks for taking the time to deliver a tricky topic in such an easy to understand way
Good content! Timely for me.
I love this outlook on investing. I can't wait to get started. Thank you for this. Glad I found ya.
Glad you found me also mate!
Thank you Damien. I always appreciate your concise and entertaining videos. I'm determined to get started with investing this year! (a little fear and education to work through first).
Thanks a lot for the great content and the cheat sheet😊
Mate, this is gold. The approach and basic nature of the advice is so accessible. This needs an outreach programme to get this type of advice into schools. This approachable financial advice for kids is so important as they move into work. They'll have it sorted wether they start work or start their own business at any age. Love it 👍
Thank you for this lovely feedback! I would love to help schools
Thank you for this!
I am turning 46, works for NHS, solely relying on work pension, thanks to you now I have ISA now, looking 👀 to invest in index funds to help retire comfortably. Thank you for all the links- very helpful. You have been an amazing KZheadrs who truly understands and support the community through your content. Greatly appreciated. Keep up the good work Damo. I would love to see a video explaining different asset classes available for general public to invest.
Great video. Really well explained. Covers the key concepts. Keep up the great work.
Legend. Amazing content.
Amazing video. No minute wasted. Full of great great advice especially about the mentality of "I'll be happy when I get there" that so many fall into.
Destination anxiety is what they call it
Your explanation was very good and quite helpful. Very easy to understand 🎉🎉
Smashing it up mate. Well done as always. Nice Shacket btw.

Thank you 🙏🏿
Great video with excellent break down of investment. I LOVED IT! Thank you
I'd retiring or working less in 8 years, and considering this financial recession, Im deciding to begin taking up skilled trades. I'm curious to know best how people split their pay, how much of it goes into savings, spendings or investments, I earn around $120K per year but nothing to show for it yet.
You should contribute to your retirement diligently, or better still look into financial planning don't come to youtube for advise, consult a Local or trusted online broker/ planner
Very true, I find myself lucky enough exposed to money management at an early age. Worked full time when I was 19, purchased first home at 28 fact forward timo I'm 57 now not laid off
This is huge! would love to grow my reserve regardless of the economy situation, my 407k has lost everything accrued since early 2019, at this point, i'm in need of guidance, can you point me?

Brilliant video
Great content man! Keep it up
Thank you so much as always, Damien, for such detailed and well explained videos. Always a balanced argument presented brilliantly and your page is easily the best place to go for investing advice in my opinion. Really appreciate the fact that you don't just churn out videos for the sake of it (or your own financial gain) and have a genuine interest in providing useful content for your viewers.
Nice one Damo, thanks for all your content 👍💯 Happy New Year good man.
Great video mate, on top form and keeping me totally invested.
Very informative video

Another quality video Damo, well done mate 👌 always making a really dry subject enjoyable

Awesome!
Great video as always Damien!
Been cutting through how to get a lisa started yesterday with an aim to lock in saving from 36-60 there and this was just what I needed to remind me I'm a beginner but I need to do this for me
Damo, your channel has honestly changed my life. Ive lived from paycheck to paycheck (zero state) my whole life. I was always finacially illiterate. One of your vids randomly popped up in my algorithm in march last year and ive been hooked ever since. I watch your vids all the time and cannot believe how much ive learnt. Most importantly, from being extreemly frugal, I have gone from a zero state lifestyle, to having genuine accountability for my finances. I cant thank you enough for the wisdom your channel has given me and the path it has put me on.
This is an incredible comment to read! Thank you so much for leaving it. I know it sounds cliché, but this is the best part of doing this KZhead channel. The idea that I have helped people improve their lives with my videos is just amazing. Well done for taking action; most people would not have done that, so please give some credit to yourself!
@@DamienTalksMoney it's absolutly life changing mate. I was in such a rut, constantly overdrawn, addicted to purchasing and consuming. I have a reasonably good job but was unable to keep any of it due to my ignorance. Your vids have put me on such a good path and I'm grateful for that. You deserve all your success, well done.
Great video mate
Excellent 👍
These videos have been so good, really helped my path to investing.
Awesome video, thanks mate
You get my sub because this video was so very informative and i liked all the graphs and pie charts you used. Great video Damien!! 👍🏾
Thank you!
Your advice is so invaluable!
Why, I have 10,000 pounds where to invest in UK
That's the kick up the arse I needed. Thanks Dams 👍
Excellent video. Investing is a confusing space and you simplify it and throw in some humour in your down to Earth style. Your content is much appreciated. 😊
Great to see you Alty Man ❤
I really like the value and professionality in your video. I'm actually planning to begin stock investment. It really helps. Thank you.
Great video
Great video man!!! u just literally change my views about investing
Golden advice at the end in the boring section!
Great video. 👍
