Watching the crypto market's ups and downs shows how quickly things can change. The recent misinformation incident reminds us that external factors can shake things up. In crypto, strategic, informed trading isn't a choice; it's a must. Remember, caution is as crucial as ambition here. Stay alert, diversify, and let's ride this unpredictable market together. At the core is Walter James , whose deep understanding of crypto and traditional trading is key. His all-encompassing investment approach and staying updated on trends make him a valuable ally in this crypto era…

[@MercyDaugherty431]

I successfully trade in my own portfolio, and also follow others because I'm interested in their strategies. I realized I've got better at managing the trader's strategies too. There's nothing wrong at all with having someone far more dedicated manage some of your portfolio.

[@ChanaMay]

To be 100% honest with you. I had the same question 4 years ago. I was confused as heck. Now copying other traders for over 3 years, I would like to tell you, YES copy trading is a good approach. Just keep in mind that the success of copying another trader lies in their transparency. Make sure you know who you are dealing with before copying them. My two cents. Goodluck!

[@BruceSellers422]

Even with the right technique and assets some investors would still make more than others, as an investor, you should’ve known that by now, nothing beats experience and that’s final, personally I had to reach out to a market analyst for guidance which is how I was able to grow my account close to a million, withdraw my profit right before the correction and now I’m buying again.

Crystal Ball required. Until recently Money Saving "Expert" kept saying that very few people would exceed the £1000 limit. Now you could do it with around £25000. Less than the price of most new cars. Also consider that a train driver doing a few overtime shifts could easily reach the higher tax threshold where the limit drops to £500.

Great video. I've been investing since 2018 . But like to keep up with ideas. Probably won't get an answer but . Invested in Smithson at ipo launch was doing fantastic at one point 80%. Now at 30% still happy at that but keep seeing a few comments saying it's a dog of a fund. Opinions please 😁😉

[@RickyM-nq9xw]

Dear Pete. Would you mind answering a quick question for me? If someone was to pay in a lump sum of 20k into a S&S ISA in any given tax year then does that mean they couldn’t then set up a direct debit as this would take them over their allowance?

[@MeaningfulMoney]

That’s right. Unless the DD started in the new year. So it’s April 4th while I’m typing this. If you paid in £20k lump sum into your ISA now, as long as the DD stared after April 6th, you’d be fine

[@thaibillyboy]

Hi, I am now one year past retirement in the UK and happily continuing to work, my company pays 3X what i pay into my pension each month, i am in a DB pension, i am happy to continue working but will it be for the tax man? Cheers and thanks for a great vlog.

[@MeaningfulMoney]

Maybe it will be for the tax man. One has to ask, if you have ‘enough’ why you would continue working. The answer, usually, is because you love what you do. Do you?

[@themeatspot5020]

What does the end of tax year mean? Why is it significant to invest during this time?

[@MeaningfulMoney]

Certain allowances, for example the ISA allowance, reset each year. So if you don’t use them by April 5th then those allowances are ‘lost’. That’s why there’s always a rush to get certain payments made around this time of year.

[@diverbob471]

Hi, i have a tricky situation for you, I am 68 this year, so couple of years into retirement, only have state pension and a tiny P/Pension, would i be able to invest say 30 a month via D/Debit ? now here's the tricky part i live in Spain but still have the tiny pension paid into UK bank account, Is this viable or out of the question ? . Thanks any advice greatly appreciated.

Are you withdrawing from your private pension? If so, wouldn't you be better off just reducing your withdrawals by 30 a month and keeping that extra money invested in your pension?

[@jamiefarrell4425]

I’m curious as to why you are advising setting up a direct debit when it should be a standing order. DDs are for when a company is claiming money from you and they can choose how much, so are normally used for utility bills etc. When an individual is sending money and wants to control the amount you use a Standing Order.

[@MeaningfulMoney]

While that's true technically, many providers will pull the money by direct debit and may not give you the option. You are covered by the Direct debit guarantee though, and with any modern provider you can log in at any time and change the amount being contributed, so practically, it makes little difference

[@paulbrolly5421]

@@MeaningfulMoney SOs are far more manageable though, I don’t have anything of this ilk going out by DD. I can change an SO the day before it’s due to debit my account, or even cancel it for a month the day before. DDs by nature of being claimed by the company are far less manageable.

Can I transfer from a flexishare account to a stocks and shares isa?

I'm 55 this year and have a private pension that's only worth £15,000. I have a few thousand in savings and thats it. I work self employed and earn around 40,000 a year. No mortgage I rent but have no major debt. Just the normal vehicle on finance and a credit card. As I'm turning 55 it's worrying I haven't saved more but through bad decisions and life in general I am where I am. Any ideas how I can build up more money over the next ten years ? To make what I have grow and to invest more monthly into something that would help me .

Had no clue about a LISA and missed the age limit

[@MPD90]

A LISA is good for saving for your first home. Beyond that, putting more in your pension is usually a better option. Higher rate tax payers are better off contributing the extra to their pension over a LISA, as the tax saving is greater than the government bonus on a LISA. Basic rate tax payers will see the same benefit between contributing to a pension and contributing to a LISA (i.e. to put £5k in the pot you could either put £4k in a LISA and gov grosses up to £5k, or put £5k in a pension and tax saving nets the cost down to £4k, even result either way). So you probably haven't missed much 👍

[@MeaningfulMoney]

Ah, that’s a shame. Never too late to still make progress with this stuff though…

[@shellyperera2010]

​@@MPD90I'd say LISA is better for basic rate payers as a pension vehicle as it's 100% tax free on withdrawal. Still good to contribute to work pension too for employer match.

[@MPD90]

@@shellyperera2010 Personally I'd disagree. LISA you pay the income tax before you put it in, pension you pay the income tax after you withdraw it. Plus with the pension you'll only pay the tax on 75% of it when you withdraw, due to the 25% tax free amount. Lots more options for how you invest a pension also. But each to their own, neither is a bad option.

[@ellendean2273]

This is great. Very clearly and concisely explained. But my question would be: why are you only suggesting these two options: stocks and shares ISA or Lifetime ISA. Why not SP 500? Isa s are for people who want to save on tax. Most of us ordinary mortals will not be saving/investing enough to pay tax. Plus Lifetime Isa is only for people up to 40...

[@markwaudby]

Listen to the video again, the options, once you open an ISA on your chosen platform, then you must choose the fund or funds you want to put your money into, ie in your case the S&P 500. Just make sure the platform you choose has the S&P500 on it as platforms do differ.

[@Banthah]

First of all the S&P 500 is an index which you can invest in through a fund that tracks it. It’s not an alternative to an ISA. An ISA is a tax wrapper that gives you the platform to invest in a fund - for example the S&P 500. And the reason it’s important is because all capital gains and all income from that fund is tax free, forever. You might not think that’s important now but as your investment grows over time, you would likely pay tax on your investment gains if it’s not in an ISA. So why would you not choose an ISA??!

[@noahcrafting]

You can buy S&P500 inside your ISA

[@m1nkeh]

I love paying tax, that’s why I don’t use an ISA said no one ever 🙄 Simply buy an index fund (S&P500 if you so desire) and put it in your ISA.
