When you venture into the world of financial investment, it's important to understand some foundational principles

The British public can’t be blamed for not investing, because as you mentioned Damien, there’s been zero financial education from the Education system. It’s not seen as for us ordinary people. Thankfully we have you and a few others on YT to do that. Thanks for your insight and hard work you do. 🙌🏻👌🏻

Put "That" on a t-shirt... Actually laughed out loud... Best visual gag I think I've ever seen... Thanks! Still smiling even now as I type this.

"I made a lot of money investing into Apple, that's because I had some in-cider knowledge..." 🍎😂

My mate told me to put my cash under the mattress. But I found no interest in that

I have a 5 figure portfolio on T212, but I still clicked on Damien's how to start investing video. Appreciate the time and money effort that went in to those t-shirts! In other news did you hear about that marijuana stock? Buy high, sell higher!

I'd love a shirt. Why did the investor open a bakery? Because he wanted to make some dough!

Thank you for ACTUALLY telling me how to invest. I’m 19 years old and literally need investing and finances spoon feeding until I become more comfortable

Thank you so much for your videos and for sharing your knowledge in such an accessible way. I've only recently begun watching you and a couple of other (British) YTs on the subject of personal finances & investing but I've learned so much. And like soooo many Brits, I was actually a bit scared when it came to moving some of my 'squirrelled away' money from what I thought were 'safe' accounts into a T212 ISA. But am I ever glad I have! Of course like you say, things will go up and down over time so no-one's getting rich overnight. But £700 invested has already grown more in a few weeks than £2,000 in a bank cash ISA has in a year! So c'mon Brits, watch Damien's vids & get with the program! I'm rubbish at puns but I did enjoy the T-shirts 😆

Excellent video that really gave me the confidence to try investing. I did a bit of reading, and articles kept suggesting Bonds as a relatively safe investment. I've 200 copies of Goldeneye on DVD due to arrive on Monday. So excited!

I started investing last year aged 51. I listened to my dad for years. "Investing is like putting all your money on a horse. Don't do it." Now I realise he had no clue about index funds and the like. I've since tried to convince him to invest but he refuses, saying, "I like my money where I can see it - in the bank."

T-shirts were on point today 👌🏼

Sending this to my sister!! Thank you sir!

Another well produced video Damien. Thank you. Here is my thought of the day for you: An economist, an accountant and a lawyer decided to gamble…. And that’s how stock markets came into existence!

My brother said I should invest in Doritos, but instead I bought the dip.

Time in the market beats timing the market. Might be the most valuable lesson I’ve learned so far. It doesn’t need to be very complicated but you do need to be consistent.

I found my old emergency fund money jar. It's bright red with the words 'In emergency break pot here'. I've now realised that the emergency was inflation, and I should have broken the bloody thing open years ago...

I’ve just started investing at the grand old age of 37, coming from a working class family, they were very much in favour of ‘squirrelling’ money away for a rainy day so I’ve gone on my own journey to educate myself about investing, thanks for providing such great information. Although, don’t come for Keanu, national treasure right there! 🤣

Can you recommend any ‘ethical/sustainable’ global index funds ?
