[@nattydred2593]

You touched on cash management when you mentioned dollar cost averaging as a good way to buy into a market or stock, and presumably the same is true when you are selling out of a stock. However a big factor that my own cash management strategies have overlooked is volatility from market cycles. I recently came across a description of Tom Engles' cash management strategy that relies on assessing the "protected value" of your portfolio periodically, and as the market value exceeds this, gradually converting a portion of your portfolio ( you to 12% say) to cash, then add cycle drops your portfolio value below the protected value, gradually buying back in. Even though these cycles can be years in the making, they can multiply returns.

[@SashaYanshin]

I don’t manage a cash position ever - it is mathematically a losing strategy so I don’t do it. The DCA reference was more for continually investing in the stock market on an ongoing basis as and when you earn money and have spare income. 👍

[@gore5542401]

Thank you so much for this; wish i listened to this a year ago when i started investigating and would of saved some money. On your Patron site do you review stocks and show your portfolio? Appreciate all the time you put into this video and having this for free is not only great but it gives knowledge to someone like me looking for experienced investors. THANK YOU SO MUCH IT MEANS ALOT!! I AM BASED IN THE UK; if you ever have a face to face sessions I would like to meet you and thank you.

[@SashaYanshin]

Hope you find it useful!!!

[@acdivr7955]

Hey Sasha, I never normally write any comments , however yours is such a great channel and this video is probably your best one to date so I felt compelled to do so today ! - keep up the great work !!!. I already hold a couple of smaller positions similar to you in TSLA+PLTR as long term holds and I plan to DCA a few more as the market continues to dip futher, I am in my early fifties and so would ideally like to semi- retire around 55+,so I wondered what your view was to convert the majority of my cash in to physical precious metals as an inflation hedge instead of the normal bonds method given real inflation is most likely double the stated UK CPI/RPI figures now approaching 20%,this way I could borrow against these precious metals in fiat currency around with only 3-5% interest if I wanted to live off the cash, and also use this low interest rate cash (almost free) if and when there are further bigger buying opportunities if prices dip closer to the March 2020 big sell offs to hold until I am age 65+ when my UK state pension kicks in ?

[@SashaYanshin]

I don’t know about precious metals but if your outlook is 1-4 years, and you plan on itilising the cash for retirement through some kind of drawdown/annuity setup, keeping all/large portion in highly volatile assets (stock market) would generally not be recommended in most cases. Of course I don’t know you or your situation but I’d suggest having a long hard think on that front!

[@giorgos8386]

A great video perfectly explained and simple to understand in case English is not your native language! Well done and thanks for the valuable information! In case someone invests in an index fund like s&p500 that the average long term return is annually 9-10% and the rate of inflation is 6-8% plus the broker fees and the taxes for selling and taking these money what is actually the final return of this investment ? And how can we predict if an investment and in which time period is profitable or not?

[@counterinstitute]

Hi Sasha, thanks for this. How can one make sure a broker is or isn't a real "investing" platform? It is not an obvious thing always.

[@SashaYanshin]

Make sure you check they are fully licenced and authorised for all broking permissions in the country in which you are based - usually can check this on the regulator's website. Check their licences (sometimes in the description) + make sure you will be able to buy the actual underlying assets when you use the platform, NOT some kind of an instrument, CFD or whatnot. 👍

[@counterinstitute]

​@@SashaYanshin Thanks for your reply. I am in the UK and only use companies that are FCA approved. But it is still not clear cut when it come to the very issue of whether or not I am buying the actual assets or some kind of license or instrument. For instance I know that with eToro one doesn't buy the asset but some kind of certificate. But I can't figure it with e.g. Freetrade or Lightyear what am I am buying exactly (despite having received "answers" to my email from the latter). They have a convoluted language that make it rather evasive. I do appreciate your subtle hint in the brackets regarding Interactive Brokers :-)

[@counterinstitute]

@@SashaYanshin On another note: there is a spam email coming through, am imposter pretending to be you. It doesn't show up here, but I receive that email when I leave comments on your posts. I had sent you a screen shop on Instagram; not sure you got it. Thought you might wanna know.
