I got majority shares in ETFs on my ROTH IRA, alongside some individual stocks in my brokerage account. I've surpassed my initial startup by 85% since 2023. I plan to hold and reinvest dividends until my retirement.
Toby - one thing worth adding may be that when the stock market is down (as we all know it will rise sometime) you actually get better value for your monthly investment. I know I look to see if the graphs are on a falling curve when my money drops in. It means I get more shares for the same investment.
A really good video and has helped me start my investing journey ππΎ
IMHO one of the best things about index funds is they reconstitute occasionally removing poor performing companies. A market weighted index allows you to invest in the best companies in the world. We're 60% total US market and 30% total international stocks the last few years since 2007. I'm not a bond investor. The balance is cash in high yield savings and a small amount of bitcoin. It does take a while to figure out the risk level you can tolerate and the discipline to invest every month without having to think about or pay attention to whatever markets are doing. Thanks for the authenticity and prudent advice. You're doing a great service to the next generation that follow you.

Clear and easy. I use your pie on Trading.
Very well explained
Yet another exposition by Toby Newbatt. I am new to investing and you have given me ideas and confidence to become an investor. IanC
Thank you for an interesting and easy to follow plan. I'm 4 months in and I appreciate the reminder and reassurance you give in this video. π
Another clear and useful video! Will you be doing any videos about how you rebalance your portfolio every so often, such as altering pies on T212?
Thanks for your positivity! Much appreciated
Very good Iβm doing my homework into investigating and like your open and honest assessments.
For Golden Rule 3, I always say to myself "Anything can happen in the next half hour!" (and then hum some dramatic 1960s music to myself) π Great video Toby, thanks for giving good easy-to-digest advice!
Why do you think none of this gets taught in Schools? It should be lesson number 1 Im only just discovering all this after half a century. Also,.would be really great to see your views on what you thinknis the best portfolio for those after 50 just learning about this Keep up the great work mate
Brilliant video for anyone hesitant about investing or even someone who is a regular investor (like me),this is a fantastic inspirational video,great workππΌ
I do think index funds are good investment for the long term. I am starting to think having a gold etf. As gold did do better then most index funds in 2024.
Hi Toby. Great videos. I am new to Stocks and Shares ISAs and your videos have really helped. However, I opened a HL S&I in December and started investing there. This is before I discovered your videos. Is it worth switching over to Trading 212 and how easy is the process? Alternatively, am I better waiting until the new tax year? Thanks! James
Hi Toby great content do I register with the app you mentioned even being based in Australia?
Great video, which real time digital ticker display have you got?
