Hey everyone,
As you know, I can only create one video a month, which might not be enough for you. To bridge that gap, I'm exited to announce a brand new monthly newsletter launching on April 2nd.
In this newsletter, I'll be tackling the toughest investing problems and breaking them down into clear, actionable steps.

Hey everyone,
I know it's been 4 weeks since my last video and I wanted to let you know what's going on. I've been busy lately focusing on landing a new 9-5 job. Job applications and interviews have taken priority over YouTube for a bit.
On top of that, I caught a nasty bug this week that's been giving me headaches and making it hard to focus on anything, let alone making videos. So, unfortunately, there won't be a video this Sunday.
The good news is, I'm aiming to be back next week with a fresh video for you all. I know consistency is important and the sooner I'm back on track, the better.
Speaking of new things, I've made some changes to my investment portfolio recently. If you're curious to see what's new, you can check it out here:

See you soon!

Life Update:
When I quit my day job in August 23 and went all-in on my business and YouTube channel, I did what everyone on social media (hustle culture) seemed to be doing. I figured if I worked way harder and longer than anyone else, I'd eventually make good money.
Truth be told, it's far too short of a time horizon to see any meaningful impact of my hard work. But as it turns out, going full throttle all the time on my business wasn't the best plan and I burned out, again. Don't worry, I have since taken a break and recovered.
However, my cash reserves are starting to run out and I don't want to drawdown on my emergency fund or portfolio. Meaning, I need to plan ahead. So, I am looking at job opportunities with the aim of returning to full-time work.
But, what does this mean for the YouTube channel?
To keep my work and life in check (since I haven't been great at that), I think I should use my remaining free time to get organised. I've got some interesting products and resources to make and if I don't do it now, it will probably get buried.
Gearing up for some major changes, video uploads are less of a priority until I get set up. So there's no video today, but I will be back next Sunday.
Oh, and before I forget. No, I did not buy a race horse with the remainder of my Boohoo money. But you can find out more on my Instagram, this is a peek into my personal life (and attempt fixing my work-life balance ha-ha).

I was asked how I tolerate a £20,000 loss in one stock. I'm going to share my secrets behind this tolerance and reveal why it is a BIG problem.
What is my secret?
Having the ability to navigate extreme volatility is often praised by private investors. If you can hold a stock through a serious decline, then you are described as having 'diamond hands'. I actually believe that this mindset is wrong and creates a poor attitude towards the stock market.
It is true that by having a stomach for volatility, higher overall returns can follow, but ONLY IF you take action. I've found that having this mentality is actually a disadvantage and you may find similarities in a gambler. Truthfully, you require an abnormally high level of self-belief in that you'll be able to recover and reach new heights following the situation.
I personally believe that I could lose everything of monetary value and climb out of those ruins. Combined with a strong belief that no matter how much I lose, I will make more money in the future. My mindset is powerful, yet it presents a huge disadvantage as an investor.
What is this disadvantage?
It leads to a high loss tolerance. I hear you ask, "But why is that a bad thing?". The problem is that it leads to inaction. You will become more comfortable sitting on a losing position, perhaps you even disconnect from the reality of the situation. Meaning as the shares fall lower and lower, you become more and more blinded.
High loss tolerance is not an ability, nor a skill. It's escapism. Lee Freeman-Shor described this as digging tunnels so deep, that you never see the light of day again. He continues on to suggest that people who anchor onto investments and be unwilling to accept new findings are rabbits. These rabbits underperformed because they made the active decision of doing nothing after a significant loss.
Until I pull the trigger on whether to buy or sell my position, I would suggest that others do not seek to replicate my 'ability' of 'diamond hands'.
I've found this book from Lee Freeman-Shor very easy to read and invaluable to my investing strategy, I encourage that you check it out:
