[@richardc316]

Me: I'm not going to keep looking at my stocks. Also Me: Oooh 1pm, time for my hourly look at trading 212.

[@JenniferAMThomson]

Spot on analysis :) the more you check the quicker they decrease in value :)

Warren Buffet and Wells fargo stands for Fraud. Both still trade.

I know I shouldn't, but t I can't help it...😂🤦😂🤦

[@jonadams7608]

Another brilliant video! you explain things so well! I had always wanted to try investing but until i discovered your channel I hadn’t felt confident enough to do it. Thanks to you I now have a vanguard s+s isa :) very much looking forward to learning more. Thank you!

[@LS-fz5nv]

Your channel is so refreshing, giving proper information identifying the risks rather than another get-rich-quick scheme video. Keep up the great content!

[@JenniferAMThomson]

I appreciate that!

[@varunbatra2868]

Thanks for another informative video. See you build a portfolio would be great! it would be great if you could do a video on platforms and their fee comparison please!

[@Thefunksoulbro]

Great idea

[@zebrabing]

Great advice, really appreciate it. I am one of those daily lookers and it isnt good. I am able to detach though.

[@bobsonone6333]

been wanting to give trading a try... love ur videos. u have made me understand alot that put me off. really greatfull for ur videos.

[@PrettyPennyClub]

Wish I could give this more that one like! I am very much of a long term mindset too and I think I must bore people to death with that on my channel! Most of my investing is done through vanguard's products but I also have a trading 212 account where I research and pick my own stocks and shares also with a long term view.

[@Thefunksoulbro]

I've subscribed to your channel, I am just starting to look into stock's. I'll check out some of your video's. Ps I already have a managed mutual fund.

[@donleonshi]

Hey MamaFurFur. Any chance of a video on SIPP please? Specifically how Vanguard and hargreaves lansdown compare?

[@emmaflint346]

Another late find but just at the right time ❤️

[@GrowYourWealth101]

Hi. Just found out about your Channel. Nice Video. :- ) I wish you the best for the Future! Much success!

Great video. Like you say, everyone has a different taste. I am only really trying to build my plan at the minute since I’ve just started a few weeks ago (plan to share that on here at some stage too). I can relate to the spouse comments - my wife is the same, only I get the ‘eye roll’ every time I start talking finance, and I can’t imagine her ever jumping into investing!🤦🏻‍♂️😂 maybe over time. 👍

[@JenniferAMThomson]

Look out for a monthly "Building a Portfolio" video with me and Matt coming this June and moving forward. Basically showing how two people do it and the differences :) should be ideal for watching with a spouse too!

[@TheRealArjun206]

I really like your channel - the professionalism in your advice and approach adopted is fantastic.

[@JenniferAMThomson]

Thank you very much!

[@timo410]

Awesome, recently discovered your channel and I’ve been binging. Really good content, much appreciated

[@Markyunit]

Thanks for the well explained video

[@NicolaatTheFrugalCottage]

Love this! I’ve got a slightly different approach to you when building my income portfolio so this was interesting to watch :)

[@JenniferAMThomson]

We should do a colab video on investing soon about this topic :) let's chat!

[@NicolaatTheFrugalCottage]

MamaFurFur I would love this!!

[@ianmcgrail6482]

Is it viable to buy in the lows betwen div payments and sell just after div payment ie rise in share price + the dividend

[@jenniferlouisecogley8723]

Great video, thanks! How do you decide when is best to top up your investments in funds or individual stocks. I'm relatively new to investing and have S&P500 and wide spread of individual stocks in small proportions. I'm never sure whether to top up everything by a little each month or do a lump into my funds or decide on certain stocks that month. Any advice you can offer??

[@mustafabaygun6676]

Very educational video as always . I like the idea of next videos that you mentioned. For beginners like me needs detailed investment trainings 😘

[@JenniferAMThomson]

Watch this space!

[@leonardoartusi927]

This video is so helpful, thank you so much!

[@JenniferAMThomson]

You're so welcome!

[@IM-sc1mz]

I was trying to understand how I came across you, am going to let it go because now I understand why. Thank you 😊

[@JenniferAMThomson]

You are so welcome

[@misfit2022]

I am a seriously lazy investor. I did my original research on geographical segments picked one of each and mostly stayed with the same investments although I did add a LS for a few bonds but always up for finding out about new funds. I do not have the time or inclination to invest in individual shares though I would never rule it out should I have more time in the future. I tick accumulation rather than divi.

[@riaboimv]

Hello. Thank you for your video. Can I use lifetime ISA’s money towards shares & stocks purchase?

[@glennrandle8]

So would you buy income or accumulation in vanguard over long term investment?

[@prosperouslife8866]

Thank you for this video! I personally like to invest in stocks based on their fundamentals and some stocks based on technical analysis! ✅😃🙏🏻

[@JenniferAMThomson]

Thank you for that comment and for watching

[@denliomat]

New hair colour suits you, nice video. thanks

[@andyn2172]

Great video, how many funds would you say is a good spread of diversification of world and sectors 5-10 ?

[@tahjadams5756]

Great investment advice!

[@IainGeddes]

Another great video Jennifer - thanks! Looking forward to the stock portfolio series you’ll be doing with your husband. Be interesting to see how competitive things get between you both 😂

[@MyFlyonwall]

I love your videos so great at making finances understandable to all! It gave me the confidence to start investing and budgeting better. Can you do one on buying "commodities" at I have found it really confusing to get clear information on that, and yet often people say "include some commodities in your portfolio" is that for example I shares gold etc or trying to buy grains or cocoa (in an etf? or whatever a future is?) ?! or even invest in "long volatility" specifically what would that be?! Thanks just a thought!

[@JenniferAMThomson]

Sure let's see what I can do

[@gabbybeake4117]

That was helpful, nice ! I have been using wombat. You def, helped me to make my mind up! Thanks

[@JenniferAMThomson]

Glad I could help!

[@Oggiesilverfitness]

Long term is the key. Another great video and so simply explained.

[@richardc316]

What P/E ratio would be too low? I often hear people talking about not wanting it over 25, but what if it was something like 5 or 10?

[@TopRant]

Richard Creasey Jennifer answers that question in this video 😊 but to answer your question, it may indicate that the stock is undervalued, Investors can often buy undervalued stock at a discount and then profit when the price of that stock climbs.

[@scotty672]

Say you purchase a life time strategy fund for £500 when you make payments into your ISA does that automatically go in to the £500 pot

[@dyanacrochets]

This video is 💯💯💯 helpful thanks

[@JenniferAMThomson]

Glad it helped

[@charlieholliman3993]

How do you invest in commodities? Do you physically buy precious metals or do you buy paper commodities? Great content btw!!

[@zohrehjan]

Your hair is so beautiful that it made it hard to focus on this great and helpful video

[@JenniferAMThomson]

Thank you so much!

[@Thefunksoulbro]

Thanks Jennifer, great video.

You are so welcome!

@@JenniferAMThomson when I go with real money in trading 212. Can I keep the practice account for monitoring purpose?

[@pukk4pie533]

Great video! Do receive income from your portfolio through dividends or reinvest them all?

[@JenniferAMThomson]

Both!

[@imzy0173]

Excellent video. Are you going to be doing videos around practical steps to build passive income?

[@JenniferAMThomson]

Yes, June will be a busy month with lots of practical videos :)

[@reptilespit4433]

24:00 aw you are so nice you genuinely want to help 😘

[@mercychiokeke9448]

Nice video. Pls can someone outside the UK use etoro for investing?

[@JenniferAMThomson]

Yes indeed!

[@leonarosamarnilorbeta6337]

Where do you invest w S&P 500? Is it through Vanguard equity funds? Or somewhere else? Many thanks!

[@ryan_toye]

You can invest in the S&P 500 on trading 212 but not sure if it’s best to I’m a beginner myself

[@ViviFriend]

Such a good overview, felt like a morning class in university 😊 I'll go check the charges video now. Thank you, mama! ❤️

[@thehumbleoutliers-investin1454]

Index funds are always a good option for beginners!

[@denliomat]

Hi, can you please make an video on Vanguard fixed income bonds? I am not sure whats fixed income bonds?

[@JenniferAMThomson]

Sure will do my best!

[@rumourhats]

What percentage of your savings do you invest? I'm currently investing at 3% of my savings - testing the waters.

[@JenniferAMThomson]

We are usually 10-35% of income invested at the moment

[@thaiproud2b12]

I'm going to make my first investment of £40k with HSBC's Global Investment Centre, so I can retain the premier account. Would you recommend the HSBC Global Strategy Fund/Dynamic fund (Multi-asset fund)? Should I invest it all or split over several other funds? Total charge per year is 0.46% (0.25% platform and 0.21% product managing fee).

[@TheRealArjun206]

That is a very high charge - don’t ever put all your eggs in one basket. The best way to start out whilst investing is Vanguard like Kimberley suggests, you may want to look at their life strategy or ETFs.. they have the lowest charges and you get coverage... As above - please do your own research as I am not a financial adviser

[@thaiproud2b12]

I agree, although it is actively managed so not quite sure. Other platforms come up similarly priced

[@iSPARKZ4Joel]

Great video, thanks! How many investments would you recommend for your portfolio using Vanguard? You've mentioned your investments are Lifestrategy and the High Dividend Yield ETF, do you invest in other ETF's, Index or Funds i.e. S&P 500 ETF? Thank you in advance :)

[@danielmorgan8208]

Nice hair colour

[@JenniferAMThomson]

Thank you 😊

[@davidnyoni3946]

So awesome and seems simple when you explain stuff but I am glad I found your link it kinda makes me feel better to start investing... I would like to start on TRADING212 so if you can please send me links to you videos on a begginers guide and all the follow up clips I will really appreciate it... And the binge too😊🤣
