      @DamienTalksMoney  4 месяца назад +5

      @@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.

    The market trend can turn around very quickly. In fact, the indexes often switch from a bear market to a bull market when the news is at its worst and the mood of investors is at its lowest point. I read an article of people that grossed profits up to $150k during this crash, what are the best stocks to buy now or put on a watchlist?

Also a small allocation to crypto and my wife’s isa being used for individual stocks allows for a small sort of ‘side project’ to it all. Makes it a little more fun.

    I remember back in the 90s I was planning to invest £1000 in apple shares when they were at their lowest, nearing bankruptcy but planing on releasing an home computer (the iMac). It would have worked out at about 3000 shares then. For one reason or another I never did. Yes, I look back and think “I missed out on that one🤦🏻‍♂️

    • @DamienTalksMoney
      @DamienTalksMoney  4 месяца назад +8

      Ouch... We all have that 'one that got away' story! To make you feel better, here's mine. When I was about 11, I walked into a corner shop with my mate. He purchased a pack of these things called 'Pokémon cards.' I had never heard of them, but they looked cool, so I got a pack. The first card I ever pulled from a packet was a 1st edition Charizard. That card today is probably worth upwards of £200,000. It got stolen from me the next day by a kid at school who I was scared of.
      Now i could feel bad, but the truth is I would never have kept it anyway. I would have ruined it, lost it, or sold it for a few hundred quid at best. My point is, even if you did buy Apple shares, would you have held onto them for 30 years through all the gains, or likely sold out much earlier for a nice profit but still be thinking damn if only i had kept hold..

    • @nolimittolearning4414

    Predicting market movements is extremely difficult in reality. It requires the investor to be right twice: Essentially why individuals engage service of experts who provide proper strategies to navigate the markets

      Building a good investment portfolio is more complex so I would recommend you seek Fergus Waylen's support. This way you can get strategies designed to address your unique long/short-term goals and financial dreams..

      I am surprised that this name is being mentioned here, I stumbled upon some of his clients testimonies on CNBC news last week..

      What I appreciate about Waylen is his ability to tailor strategies to individual needs. he recognizes that each investor has unique goals and risk tolerances, and he adapts his advice accordingly

      His technical analysis is excellent and his interpretation/projections of the market is so accurate I sometimes ask myself if he is human haha. Point is, Waylen is the perfect trader to follow for advise and daily signals.

      The fact that i got to learn and earn from his program is everything to me. think about it, it's a win win for both ways..
