Most people shouldn’t invest in single stocks - they’d be better off investing in index funds - but that doesn’t stop a lot of people trying. That’s the view of Sasha Yanshin, YouTuber, Damo’s friend and nemesis - and it’s Damo’s view too. Despite that, Sasha does invest in individual companies and Damo does keep up to 10% of his allocation for investing in specific stocks (because he enjoys it). In this episode, Sasha explains his process, as well as some best practices in case you want to chance your arm. But please be mindful of the risks and consider capping your exposure if it is something you want to try. 🤝 Financial guidance for small company owners in the UK https://makingmoney.email/company-owner-episodes ⛑️ Free guides and financial health check Learn how to build long-term wealth in the UK: https://linktr.ee/makingmoneypod 📈 Investment platforms we use: Trading 212 Watch this video where Damo explains how to get the most from it: https://youtu.be/BVVZhrM0LVQ Get a free share worth up to £100 when you sign up for a new Invest or ISA account and deposit at least £1.
