  • Often hidden in a company’s accounts, a cash flow statement is a vital document if you're looking to invest in a company. Tim Bennett explains what it is, and what it can reveal to investors.

    Where have you been all my life. Finally, at the age of 57 I find a teacher that I understand. Thank you, brilliant video.

    I love how you explained this with ease. You make a great teacher. One of the lessons I picked early in life was to save maximum before marriage. And by God it was one of the best one. I used to save two thirds of salary at that time. I invested the same in a diversified MF. My patience was tested in year 2017, when my portfolio was down 30%, but still I continued investing. After foreshortening, I used to save on an average 90% of my salary (crazy right!), but my first big break came in 2019, with the help of a trade analyst, I had accumulated enough money to retire! I booked profits and reinvested according to change in objectives I am living a happy and satisfied life! Thanks for the content. Keep them coming!

      It’s Individual stocks for me since they offer more flexibility because I can pick and choose the stocks that fit my financial objectives and tolerance for risk. For example, I could implement a diversified investment portfolio with dividend-paying stocks, growth stocks and stocks of foreign companies.

      But frankly, it's often not feasible for people to go into making wise financial choices for their future. Your choice of management should be influenced by your investment style, and that is why I choose se to work with Hestrel. You can look him up Hestrelegan..info on his webpage.

      However, it has been easier to invest in the stock market under Hestrel, make the same returns or better, and not have to deal with having a bunch of irregularities that have been taken care of.
