Unless you're actually a trader, I don't understand why people would want to stress themselves out by buying/selling individual stocks themselves. For the last 30 years I've made use of managed funds, where I just dump my money into and then don't have to worry about it.
I think it comes down to education and influence. Following what you have been shown or taught. I was never told what to do and so followed influencers on TH-cam. I’m sure this is the same as many others. Also I would assume there’s a large portion of those people who think they can beat the market, but are wrong.
How about giving yourself some "Play Money", say £1000(or £100) and make a year long series to see how much you can turn it into buy buying the Dips then selling. A great example was buying Nvidia yesterday and then selling in a few weeks to hopefully get about 15%-20% back. Don't have to use the whole amount in one go. I know its risky but could compare the results in 1 year.
Not much point buying multiple world ETFs, they all more or less track the same underlying index and charge different fees for the same product. Just buy the cheapest one. However you could buy some interesting ETFs and compare how they perform over time and comment on why that might be. For example, VHVG is a simple developed world ETF, XLPE is a private equity ETF, CAPU is a very interesting S&P 500 sector ETF that rotates its holdings monthly between S&P sectors based on research from Barclays (which is published and you could read and discuss in a video). Other interesting ETFs also exist but that's a quick interesting list to get you started. Avoid any Amundi ETFs they're a nightmare and have burnt many holders.
I may not have explained this properly in the video. Freetrade is far too expensive to be an appropriate place to hold long term investments. This was a recent change implimented by them. I chose Trading 212 as it's the most cost efficient, but it took them a long time to allow me to create an account and also to allow me to transfer a portfolio in from another provider.
@@Exceldividends Ah, okay. That explains it - thank you! Well, with the recent drop in tech stock prices you may have made a lucky decision if you choose to buy back in. Whatever you do, good luck with your investments.
Time in the market not timing the market.
It’s annoying that I have to wait to get back into the market!

That sounds like a good idea! Beat the market series. That’s going on the list.

Thank you for the suggestions. I will be taking this into account, and using some of your ideas. Thanks
Only you can decide what to do with your money. Regardless of what you choose to do i will carry on watching your videos
Thank you, I appreciate it. Hopefully I can continue to make good content for you!
It’ll be interesting to see long term results if you invest into VWRP versus any other tech etf.
Thanks. I think I will be doing some form of content based on this. A comparison of the whole world versus various other types of ETFs.
I'm a bit lost. Why did you want to transfer shares between platforms in the first place? What am I missing?

The one thing I will say is Never put all your eggs in one basket. Good luck
Unless that basket is US equities…
Well if anything the S&P 500 is a big basket. But I’m pretty diversified.
S&P500 just doesn’t lose. All these TH-camrs trying to beat the system is funny.
Pennystocks???😂
Great idea!
